New widow

"That's different. What my mother said for me is all from a famous family." After Su Du finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to write what he was doing, but Su Du always felt that Zhang Qing was staring at him, so Su Du raised his head and looked at Zhang Qing. Qing: "What do you see me doing?"

"I just want to ask you, do you like the ladies from famous families that your mother mentioned for you?" Zhang Qing's words made Su Du not know how to answer for a moment, and then Su Du laughed: "Whether you like it or not, it doesn't matter. what relationship?"

Marriage is a major event, the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. No one can escape. Su Du knew how his mother taught the sisters in her family. Likewise, Mrs. Nanyang Marquis proposed marriage to Su Du. Those who could get to see her were also well-educated ladies from famous families.

They have gentle smiles and are virtuous. Even if they don't like it, they still want to have children with them. Su Du only has to work as an official outside and leave everything at home to them. They will take care of the house in order and give birth to children. Children will also be well taught.

Being born into a wealthy family and growing up among beautiful things, this is what Su Du has known since childhood.

"I think I want to find someone I like." Zhang Qing said hesitantly. Su Du raised his head, looked at Zhang Qing seriously, and then said with a smile: "Can you find him?"

"This is the life of a person. It would be boring to marry someone you don't like." Zhang Qing's words were unintentional, but he didn't know when they hit Su Du's heart. It would be boring to marry someone you don't like.

"If you don't like your wife, you can take the one you like as your concubine." Su Du's words made Zhang Qing look at him: "This is not fair."

"What's unfair?" Su Du asked, but Zhang Qing had already said seriously: "They say that if the family is not at peace, they take a concubine. You said that men are working as officials outside, and women are at home, facing each other every day, it is inevitable There will be trouble. If there is only one wife in the backyard, there will be no trouble."

"The difference between wives and concubines is like clouds and mud. As long as they keep their own rights, there will be no trouble." Su Du just thought that Zhang Qing didn't know what the backyards of wealthy people were like, so he patiently told him.

"But if you like someone, you are naturally willing to give her the best in the world. However, you make the person you like become your concubine and treat the person you don't like respectfully every day. Is this fair?" Zhang Qing? Su Du's words made Su Du suddenly think of something, and then Su Du slapped the table: "Okay, let's talk about the case of the British father. Don't talk about the shortcomings of these parents."

"I want to marry the person I like as my wife, and I also hope that you can marry the person you like as your wife. Instead of marrying a well-known lady selected by Mrs. Nanyang Marquis. You respect her but don't like her." Zhang Qing said. Su Du sighed: "It's difficult for people like us to marry someone we like."

They were of the right family, and they had three books and six etiquettes. From the moment they lifted their headscarves, they knew what their wives looked like. After drinking Hexin wine, they became husband and wife from then on. If you are lucky, there is nothing wrong with admiring each other, but there are very few lucky people in this world.

Many times they are said to be in love at the time, but later on, the couple turns against each other. Su Du picked up the pen and continued writing. If you can follow your heart and marry the one you like, then you should

How good.

But what does the person you like look like? Su Du stared at the paper. The paper was obviously blank, but Su Du looked at a hibiscus face emerging from the paper. She had willow eyebrows, almond eyes, and peach cheeks. Even without makeup, she could see her agility and beauty.

Su Du was startled. When he took a closer look, he saw that the hibiscus face had disappeared. That person was something Su Du couldn't tell. If he did, it would cause an uproar. If I had known this, I should not have agreed to the minister's request and come to the Duke's Mansion, I would not have seen this person.

Su Du calmed down and started writing again. It would be better to close the case as soon as possible and leave the Duke's Mansion. From now on, he would never see this person again.

"Third sister-in-law, what do you think of Mr. Su from the Criminal Department?" That evening, Mrs. Song Wu accompanied Su Qiao to finish offering incense and asked Su Qiao with a smile. Suqiao thought for a while before saying: "Young talented man, born in a famous family, has a bright future."

"I heard from my mother-in-law that Mrs. Nanyang Hou is looking for a marriage for Mr. Su these days." Mrs. Song Wu's words made Su Qiao stunned: "He hasn't gotten married yet?"

"Speaking of this matter, everyone in the capital really knows it." Mrs. Song Wu told Su Du how many times he had proposed marriage and how many times it failed. Su Qiao couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, Su Qiao said : "Is it possible that the fifth aunt is thinking of setting up a connection for your niece?"

"I would like to, but my niece has just lost her father, so she has to wait until a year later to talk about it." Mrs. Song Wu sighed, and Su Qiao also smiled: "In that case, wait until a year later , I also need to ask Aunt Five to pay attention to it."

"My natal family has a niece who is one year older than Zhen'er. Since Mrs. Nanyang Hou is looking for a marriage, I

Just thinking about my niece. Mrs. Song Wu then revealed her purpose, and Su Qiao already smiled and said: "It's true that the kiss is the kiss, but it's useless to tell me about this matter. I don't recognize any high-ranking lady in the capital." . "

During the time of condolences, many high-ranking ladies came, but these people only gave Su Qiao general comfort.

During the three-year period of mourning, Suqiao could not visit other families. Those noble ladies also knew this, and it was inevitable to neglect Suqiao. After the condolences were over, they would come again when the funeral was held. This was almost the only time in the three years that Suqiao visited other families. of communication.

At this time, Mrs. Song Wu smiled when she heard what Su Qiao said: "Of course I know this. I just thought that when my natal sister-in-law comes, she will bring my niece with her. If at that time, my sister-in-law invites that Su The adults came over and said they wanted to ask about the case. It is enough for my niece and sister-in-law to take a look at it from a distance."

"I see." After Su Qiao said this, she smiled at Mrs. Song Wu and said, "It's just such a small thing, but it's so roundabout."

"This is a lifelong event for my daughter's family. I don't want her to..." Mrs. Song Wu seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly kept silent. Su Qiao knew that Mrs. Song Wu was probably thinking of Mr. Song Wu, so Su Qiao said to Mrs. Song Wu: "In the past, the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt were very loving husband and wife."

Loving? Mrs. Song Wu sighed: "That's all. He respected me more. I just regret it. I regret that when he was gone, I sent all the people in the room away, otherwise there would be someone to accompany me."

The person in the room, Suqiao lowered her eyes, it was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but for a woman

This rule is unfair, but Suqiao also knows that she cannot say this out loud.
