New widow

Aunt Wan pushed him: "You still think you are a young man."

"Then you buy me a donkey, and I'll ride a little donkey, so it won't be so hard." Wan Dequan's words made Aunt Wan reach out and hit him: "If you buy a donkey, you have to feed it fodder."

"Then I will buy a donkey for my uncle." Suqiao said with a smile, "Just treat it as a congratulations to my uncle for opening the business."

"Nonsense, you can't pay for us anymore." Aunt Wan stopped her. Song Zhen had already said with a smile: "Is it because I'm afraid of spending all my dowry? It won't be all spent."

"I know you have money, but we still have to pay what we should pay." Aunt Wan said and smiled: "Besides, life is already so good now, much better than I thought. .”

There is a shop and fields, and the house is also a good one. Being able to hire a sweeper makes Aunt Wan feel much more relaxed. Of course, the most important thing is that you don’t have to scheming with others. Those who have been serving as government officials for many years can write a thick book about their grievances against each other.

At this moment, Aunt Wan can really eat a few more bowls of rice.

"Auntie, save your money to save a dowry for Wan'er." Su Qiao's words made Wan'er widen her eyes: "How come you are talking about me and you are saving me a dowry?" Wan'er said and hugged her Holding Aunt Wan's arm: "I'm not getting married, I'll be at home with you."

"How can there be an unmarried daughter?" Aunt Wan nodded her daughter's nose: "But now it is different from before. If you want to marry a scholar, mother, I can also find a scholar for you, but this scholar always... …”

Suqiao knew that Aunt Wan was thinking of Mr. Kuang and was interested in her.

Su Qiao probably only has one thing to say about her father, that is, he is ruthless and unrighteous. Fortunately, Mr. Kuang's ruthlessness and unrighteousness can no longer hurt Su Qiao. Whether he is promoted or demoted, he is completely harmonious to Su Qiao. It doesn't matter.

"Boss, I have a letter from you here." A clerk came over and handed a letter to Wan Dequan. Wan Dequan couldn't help frowning: "Who knew that my shop was open so quickly and wrote to me?" letter."

As he said this, Wan Dequan opened the letter and after taking a look at it, Wan Dequan frowned very tightly. He really couldn't help but talk about it. Just now, he said he was a scholar. Now, the person writing the letter is a scholar, not someone else. He is Suqiao's father.

"My father wrote a letter to my uncle, what did he say?" Su Qiao saw Wan Dequan's expression turned ugly, knowing that Mr. Kuang would not say anything nice in the letter.

Sure enough, I heard Wan Dequan let out a long sigh: "Your father said he would arrive on the eighth day of the lunar month."

Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and the eighth day of the Lunar New Year will be tomorrow. Suqiao frowned. Why did Mr. Kuang come here? What would he bring to her when he came? Suqiao wanted to know, but at this time, Suqiao could only comfort Wan Dequan with gentle words: "Father, I want to come here." I pass by occasionally on business."

"If you occasionally pass by on business, a notice will be posted at the inn." Wan Dequan has been at the Yamen all year round, so naturally he can't hide such things.

"What's going on with your nephew? After all, my brother-in-law is my nephew's biological father and an official. Why are you two sighing here?" Because Father Wan has always been proud of Master Kuang, his son-in-law, Aunt Wan didn't know those things in the past. Now she saw Wan Dequan and Suqiao looking confused. Aunt Wan

His eyebrows could not help but frown tightly, and he was very confused.

"Soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth will cover it up, otherwise." Suqiao said this after a while, and Wan Dequan nodded, so that was all. However, Wan Dequan looked at his niece and couldn't bear to say: "It's just It’s a pity for you.”

"It's no pity, I'm living a good life now." Suqiao told the truth, but this truth made Wan Dequan sigh again. Other people's daughters are living a good life, and it is indispensable for their parents' planning. Love, and Su Qiao is living a good life, but she has to face many dangers and obstacles and plan for herself. Even, such unbearable rumors were spread.

Wan Dequan knows more about official affairs than Su Qiao, and he also knows better that if Mr. Kuang really wants to act like his father and take Su Qiao away by force, Wan Dequan, his uncle, will be powerless.

The people can't fight with the officials, let alone Wan Dequan, a man who was born as a government servant. Although his background has been cleared now, there are some things that can never be cleared away.

"Uncle, there is no need to worry about me." Su Qiao knew what Wan Dequan was worried about, and comforted Wan Dequan. Wan Dequan was already looking at his niece: "How could I not be worried about you? I didn't protect your mother back then. This Now, can’t I protect you?”

Although Suqiao knew that Wan Dequan's ability was not enough to protect herself, Suqiao still smiled: "My uncle is very good to me, and that's enough."

As for other things, Su Qiao doesn't care. Since those schemes are coming, Su Qiao will face them. Looking at his niece's expression, Wan Dequan could only sigh again.

Song Zhen and Xia Yun didn't speak. Wan'er still wanted to ask, but looking at everyone's expressions, Wan'er decided to ask.

The words were swallowed again.

"Okay, instead of ordering food from the restaurant today, let's eat first. Anyway, this shop is open, and things will get better and better in the future." Suqiao's words broke the silence, and Wan'er wanted to do as usual, He said a few witty words to make everyone happy, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out, so Wan'er could only smile.

The days will get better and better, who doesn’t think so? Wan Dequan also smiled: "Today, let's try the food in this restaurant."

"I heard that the cook of this family studied in the imperial kitchen." Wan'er also told the rumors she had heard. Aunt Wan patted her and said: "This is just a businessman who always puts money on his face. I mean, if you really studied in the Imperial Kitchen, why would you come to be a cook in a small place like ours?"

That's right. Wan'er nodded. Song Zhen already smiled and said, "But the food here is really good. Let's all try it."

"There's still wine." Wan'er looked at Aunt Wu taking out a jug of wine and whispered. Aunt Wan wanted to turn around and hit her a few times: "How old are you, and you are thinking about drinking?"

"Mom!" Wan'er acted coquettishly, and everyone took their seats. Suqiao asked Nanny Wu to put a wine glass in front of Wan'er: "I'm happy today. Besides, there are us, so it's okay to have a drink. .”

"I know my cousin is the best to me." Wan'er let out a small cheer, couldn't wait to lick the wine with her tongue, and frowned: "Why, this wine doesn't taste good at all, it's very spicy, no Sweet."

Aunt Wan burst out laughing: "I want you to be greedy."

"So, Mr. Kuang will be here tomorrow

arrive? "At the banquet, Su Du heard Wang Shangshu say this and couldn't help but ask softly.
