New widow

Su Du also returned the gift. Mrs. Song Wu brought along her natal sister-in-law and natal niece. Seeing Su Du, Mrs. Song Wu's sister-in-law looked Su Du up and down first, with a happy smile on her face. As for the niece, she glanced at Su Du's face first, and then turned blushing, lowering her head to listen to her aunt and Su Du talking.

Mrs. Song Wu wanted her sister-in-law to see Su Du more, and looked for something to say. Su Du became impatient. Then Mrs. Song Wu smiled and said, "I am older now and talk a lot. Mr. Su." Don't bother me."

"Don't dare." Su Du replied respectfully, and then Mrs. Song Wu let Su Du leave. As soon as Su Du left, Mrs. Song Wu's niece stepped forward and took Mrs. Song Wu's arm: "Aunt, you are so kind."

"I think this person has a good appearance and a promising future. As for his family background, we are afraid that someone will laugh at us if we get married to them." Mrs. Song Wu's sister-in-law was very satisfied with Su Du, but there was another layer. Mrs. Song Wu's natal family , is also a scholarly family. Mrs. Song Wu’s father and brother were both imperial examination candidates. This Jin gentry family is also very particular about marrying into a noble family. They always choose a scholar to marry, so as not to be criticized by others. It is said that the Jin gentry family was greedy for other people's wealth, so they married their daughters to such a dandy.

Mrs. Song Wu originally married into the British government because Mr. Song Wu was smart at reading and everyone had nothing to say about the marriage. As for Suqiao, Mr. Kuang was an official by his side, working his way up from being a scholar, and there was another layer of separation between him and the official who was a Jinshi. Besides, Suqiao was a widow, so everyone had nothing to say.

"Mom, won't my aunt marry into the British government?

. "Sure enough, Mrs. Song Wu's sister-in-law said this. When her niece said this, Mrs. Song Wu's sister-in-law already laughed: "You don't know, your uncle was also a scholar. "

"Master Su is a Jinshi." Mrs. Song Wu reminded her, and her sister-in-law sighed: "With such a high family status and good background, my daughter can be found anywhere."

"Mom!" Mrs. Song Wu's niece acted coquettishly again, but Suqiao had already come out to greet her: "Please go inside."

Mrs. Song Wu originally wanted to analyze and find out that it was not impossible for her family. After all, Su Du had a good future and was getting married for the first time. However, the joke about the previous marriage was known to everyone in the capital, and Mrs. Song Wu also asked about it. , Mrs. Nanyang Hou proposed marriage for Su Du this time. She did not look at family status or family background. She only looked at the woman's character and whether her birth date and horoscope were compatible.

After all, Mrs. Nanyang Hou also made several marriage proposals to Su Du, but failed several times, and she sighed in her heart. Of course Mrs. Song Wu would not say this in front of Su Qiao. When they lit up the incense, burned the paper, and sat down to drink tea, Mrs. Song Wu only talked to Suqiao about ordinary things.

After drinking a cup of tea, Mrs. Song Wu sent her sister-in-law and niece out. As soon as she walked to the door, she saw someone approaching. The leading lady had already saluted Mrs. Song Wu: "Mrs. Five, Mrs. Eleven is here. "

Mrs. Song Wu and Mrs. Eleven have been sisters-in-law for almost 20 years, so Mrs. Song Wu stepped forward with a smile: "My ex-son heard that you are sick, but we are bereaved and it is not easy to see you. It’s not good to even say hello, so I think it’s great to come here now.”

"I'm here

He has been living outside for a long time, and he has become accustomed to it when he returns to the capital. If he says this, it will make people laugh, so he stays at home and does not allow him to say it outside. "Mrs. Eleven also smiled and walked inside hand in hand with Mrs. Song Wu.

"It's indeed a joke when I say this." Mrs. Song Wu smiled, and the two talked affectionately and walked inside. Mrs. Eleven looked around and said with emotion: "The last time I came in, it was still Wu Where’s my sister-in-law?”

"Yes, I still remember how kind my sister-in-law was to me." Mrs. Song Wu also sighed along with her words. As they talked, they walked into the mourning hall. Su Qiao had already stood up to greet her: "Hello, Aunt Eleven."

Mrs. Eleven hurriedly stepped forward and returned the greeting: "Hello, sister-in-law. Originally, he said that he would let me come over on the day of the funeral, but I lay there thinking about it. We are all members of the same family. How could I not come over?"

"Aunt Eleven was a little dissatisfied with the climate, so she didn't come in." Mrs. Song Wu explained on the side, and Mrs. Eleven also smiled and said: "I have been outside for too long. I just told Sister Five that when I came in last time , or four years ago, at that time, "

Mrs. Eleven paused as she spoke: "Well, that was all many years ago. What's the point of talking about these old millet and rotten sesame seeds?"

"Then I still remember that you like to eat this." While talking, the maids brought snacks, and Mrs. Song Wu had already pushed the snack plate towards Mrs. Eleven: "Try this crabapple cake. It tastes the same as before." But it’s still the same?”

"Thank you, Sister-in-law Five, for remembering that I like to eat this." Mrs. Eleven picked up a pastry and took a bite with surprise on her face, then nodded: "Yes, it tastes like this."

Still the same as before. "

"This dim sum maker has always been here. He has been in the Duke's mansion for 30 years." Mrs. Song Wu also picked up a piece of dim sum and ate it, feeling very emotional in her words. Mrs. Eleven's face seemed to be full of memories. At this time, Mrs. Huang walked in and saw Mrs. Song Wu here, but she didn't say anything for a while.

"What do you have to say? Both aunts are not outsiders." Su Qiao raised her voice a little, and Madam Huang stepped forward: "Madam, I have followed your instructions and released Aunt Su. As for Aunt Zhou, I also went to find her family and asked them to take Aunt Zhou out."

"What did these two aunts do?" Mrs. Eleven looked at Su Qiao with a puzzled look on her face. After all, it's not like the Duke's mansion can't afford to support one or two idle people, but Aunt Zhou is actually going to be taken back by her family. If this spreads out, people will talk about it.

"Aunt Su has done nothing wrong." Su Qiao said lightly.

Mrs. Song Wu already said: "A few days ago, some people were talking nonsense, saying that Aunt Su had assassinated the Duke. Now the Ministry of Punishment has almost found out and said that it has nothing to do with Aunt Su."

The piece of snack in Mrs. Eleven's mouth should be swallowed or spit out. For a moment, she didn't know what to do. This made me choke and cough.

Mrs. Song Wu hurriedly poured water for Mrs. Eleven and said, "Why are you so careless?"

"I've really been away from the capital for too long. I don't know, I don't know..." Mrs. Eleven pretended that she didn't know anything. Suqiao looked at Mrs. Eleven and sighed softly: "In this world,

, most of them know people and faces but don’t know their hearts. "
