Lady of Rebirth

Zhong Ming didn't go to the front hall, but went to find Su Zimo, and Su Zimo was still in the room.

"Sister, my cousin is here," Zhong Ming yelled, looking panicked, as if it wasn't Song Junjie who came, but a bandit.

Su Zimo was calm and was grinding slowly. When he saw Zhong Ming, he smiled and said, "Ming'er, you came just in time. The words you wrote that day fell into the water and got muddy. It's a pity. Why don't you rewrite it?" stick."

He couldn't wait to write, Zhong Ming said in a hurry: "Cousin must come here to take you home."

Su Zimo looked up at her, with a pair of beautiful eyes overflowing with light, and said with a slight smile: "Really, I've been out for a while, and it's time to go back."

Zhong Ming blurted out: "You're going back, what should I do?" After finishing speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly explained, "I mean, I haven't been with you well these days since you've been here, so how can you leave."

Su Zimo covered his mouth with a smile and said: "If you don't give up, you can't give up. Where are these excuses?"

Zhong Ming blushed. Anyway, Su Zimo knew what she was thinking, so she didn't need to hide it at all, so she admitted it openly: "I don't want you to go."

Only then did Su Zimo put down his ink pen, and said, "Let's go, go to the front hall to see if your cousin came to pick me up specially, or if there are other important matters."

Zhong Ming said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up."

Su Zimo said, "That's not necessarily the case."

Zhong Ming was startled, could it be...

"Junjie, look at you, you are so dusty, sit down and have a drink of tea." Song Wenshu entertained Song Junjie in the front hall.

Song Junjie took a sip of tea as he said, put down the cup and asked, "Is Uncle feeling better?"

Song Wenshu said: "There is no serious problem, I can get out of bed in two days."

"That's good." Song Junjie asked again, "Where's cousin Zhong Ming?"

"She is still the same, unruly and self-willed, causing trouble everywhere. Anyway, she just doesn't let me worry." Song Wenshu seized the opportunity and arranged a few words for Zhong Ming, hoping that Song Junjie could dispel his thoughts about Zhong Ming. After returning home, She also persuaded Zhong Ming a few times, and it was obvious that Zhong Ming had been shaken. In the first place, a good girl, who looks upright, neither lacks arms or legs, nor lacks money, can't be married to anyone, except Baba. Being a concubine for others, but the marriage contract was already established when she was in the Song family, if she didn't go back on her word, it would not be easy to say.

Unexpectedly, Song Junjie praised: "This is what makes my cousin so cute. Auntie must not blame her."

It's not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, Song Wenshu changed the topic in a moment, pointed to the gift boxes on the ground and said, "Come here, come, and bring these, you will spend money."

Song Junjie's fair face turned red all of a sudden, as if it was a bit difficult to say, "These are not gifts..."

Song Wenshu was also a little embarrassed, it was not a gift for their family, she smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's my cousin's family, it's too polite to be an outsider."

Song Junjie knew that she had misunderstood the meaning, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Auntie, these are for your family, but..."

Song Wenshu didn't understand at all, she looked at Song Junjie and waited for his explanation.

Song Junjie knew it was useless to talk too much, so he asked the accompanying boy to open the gift boxes one by one, and he saw that there were incense gun bracelets, three animal seafood, four Beijing fruits and four-color candies, silk, satin and cloth, as well as rice, wine, tea, sesame, etc. Wait, there is a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets in the smallest box, and 200 taels of silver are lined up in the next box.

Song Wenshu followed Zhong Yuanda after falling out with her family back then, and her only daughter has not yet left the cabinet, so she doesn't know anything about the etiquette of marriage, but after seeing these things, she can still guess a little bit. When the wedding post was delivered to her, she was sure that Song Junjie was hired!

"This..." Song Wenshu had a look of embarrassment on his face.

Song Junjie said: "My nephew knows that coming here is abrupt, but the day of my engagement with cousin Zhong Ming is coming soon, I can't let my cousin go to Beijing alone to marry me, so I will give the betrothal gift first."

Leaving aside the matter of getting married, just looking at the dowry gift is a bit too shabby. Zhong Ming's father said long ago that when Zhong Ming got married, he would give Zhong Ming at least half of his family property as a dowry, while the Song family only gave a dowry of 200 taels of silver. ...

Since Song Junjie entered the Zhong Mansion, he felt that the Zhong family was rich and powerful. He is also a person who has seen the world, so he naturally recognized some good things. In this hall, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and the porcelain vases on the shelves are all valuable. Stuff, even the tables, chairs and stools, the blankets on the floor, and the cups for drinking tea are not affordable by ordinary people. However, what he thought of was not the shabby dowry, but the thought that after marrying Zhong Ming, everything here would be different. All belong to him.

Seeing that Song Wenshu was staring at the betrothal gift box, Song Junjie explained self-righteously: "Auntie, don't think that the betrothal money is too small. When I married Su Zimo, I gave you 400 taels of gift money. My cousin is a concubine, so I don't want to overdo it. The main room, but please rest assured, aunt, after my cousin marries me, I will definitely treat her well."

Song Wenshu almost bleeds out of anger, and it's not easy to turn her face on the spot. Besides, whether her girl will marry or not is another matter, so she said with a smile: "The etiquette is considerate, the gift money...is quite a lot, but... "

"Just what?" Song Junjie asked.

Song Wenshu thought for a while, and said in a helpless tone: "You know that I am only a daughter like Minger, so I have been used to her since I was a child. She said one is one and two is two. A few days ago, Minger Er Ming knew that you were going to get married, and she was still crying and shouting to marry you, even as a concubine. Her father and I had no choice but to take her to Beijing with a thick face. Hey, don’t you think it’s strange, since I came back from the capital, Ming'er suddenly changed his mind and said he didn't want to marry anymore, you talk about this child, you talk about it, we have nothing to do with her, we can only rely on her."

Song Junjie was most afraid of this accident, and he had already prepared for it. He was first surprised and said: "How come, my cousin is the most trustworthy." Marquis Su also knew about my cousin being a concubine, and said that she came to have a wedding banquet on the wedding day, and my colleagues are all respectable people."

"Master Su?" Song Wenshu didn't believe it. Su Zimo had only been married to Song Junjie for less than half a year. No father would like his son-in-law to take a concubine.

Seeing that she didn't believe her, Song Junjie said again: "You are my aunt, and I can't lie to you. That day when Su Zimo ran away from home, Master Su asked me for someone, so I told him about Su Zimo's refusal to have sex with me." After I told him, Master Su said that he respected Su Zimo's decision, so I took the opportunity to tell him about taking a concubine, but he didn't agree with it at first, but after he figured it out, he agreed."

Hearing what he said, Song Wenshu probably couldn't be wrong. If Master Su joined in, it would be really difficult. She couldn't think of a good way for a while, so she said: "After all, this is Ming'er's lifelong event, and I still have to ask her about it." " After a pause, he continued, "It's been so long, why don't you ask Su Zimo?"

Song Junjie said: "It's enough that I know she's here."

Song Wenshu nodded, "Yes, I am."

Song Junjie flattered him: "Su Zimo and I got married at the behest of our parents, and we have no relationship. It's like my cousin and I have known each other since we were young. We are still cousins. We are closer than others. Even if my cousin marries in the future, I will Also an attitude."

Song Wenshu said with a perfunctory smile: "With your words, I feel relieved."

"Your cousin treats you well." Su Zimo said to Zhong Ming with a smile.

The two stood behind and listened for some time, Zhong Ming wanted to go out several times, but was stopped by Su Zimo.

Zhong Ming said: "Sweet words, who will believe him, he just wants to take advantage of my family's wealth, hmph, I won't let him succeed." Thinking about the previous life, she was really blinded by the sand, her cousin was full of lies, and she didn't even think about it. I don't know.

Su Zimo turned around, "Since you didn't come to look for me, then go back."

Zhong Ming followed, but he admired Su Zimo even more in his heart, how could she guess everything.
