Whose Bride in the Red Chamber

Autumn is coming outside the house, and the wisteria flowers have withered, exposing gray and yellow branches intertwined and forming knots. The mild afternoon sun slanted across, leaving mottled spots all over the ground.Occasionally, wild geese flew by, rustling the yellow leaves and piling them up on the bluestone ground between light and dark.

Su Xuan sat down at the desk to write the post, perhaps he was tired of autumn, he was always focused and eager to learn, today he seemed to be a little absent-minded, he stopped writing from time to time, looked up at his mother who was on the couch carved with sour branches, and was looking down at the scroll in her hand, He looked very serious, but after a long time, he couldn't hear the sound of the pages of the scroll turning.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xuan carefully put down his pen and stood up, walked in front of the people, turned his head to look at the book that was held upright, and said helplessly: "Mother, the book is held upside down again."

Su Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, looked down at the book, put it on the low table beside him, rubbed the corners of his eyes, and said, "Is the end of today's post?"

Her voice was soft, showing a bit of tiredness, Su Xuan couldn't help but frowned again, since she bid farewell to Uncle Qin three days ago, her mother has looked like this, looking at the account book and making a mistake, I put the wrong salt and sugar in the kitchen, sat down to read and lost my mind...

Hearing Su Xuan's sigh like a grown-up, Su Yunxiu came back to his senses, and said with a broken smile: "Still frowning, be careful to lock out a little old man."

Su Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down beside the couch. After thinking for a while, he said, "Uncle Qin... Mom isn't used to it either?"

"It's really unaccustomed to go from being frugal to being extravagant." Su Yunxiu took the words lightly, got up halfway and poured a cup of tea, and then poured a cup for Su Xuan. Just a cushion in front of his body, "Unfortunately, I will fill in the gaps in the future, and it is time to find a wife."

Su Xuan opened his mouth and stared at her in astonishment, very puzzled why such a sentence suddenly came out.Seeing him in such a daze, Su Yunxiu felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Three years, whether short or short, or long or not, was enough to make her get used to the existence around her. I feel that when I am away from people now, I realize how terrible the habit is.

But what can she do?I had always firmly believed that she and Qin Zijun were very close friends, but right now, I couldn't even find anyone to talk to and discuss with. It seemed that once he left, all relationships would be broken, and I didn't know how to find this person. People, even half of the audio is difficult.Thinking of this, Su Yunxiu sighed heavily, stretched out his hand and patted Su Xuan's shoulder, as if to persuade, but also to himself: "In the future, slowly change it."

Su Xuan replied heavily, and was about to speak, but heard someone coming in from outside the house: "Madam, there is a Mr. Hu visiting you." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to hand over a greeting card.

There are very few visitors at home, let alone such a discreet post.Su Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, full of surprise, as if he didn't know any master with the surname Hu, Su Xuan was also full of curiosity while sitting aside, he quickly reached out to take the post and handed it to Su Yunxiu, leaning forward halfway to read it clearly.

There were not many complicated decorations on the post, and it was signed with three cheerful characters: Hu Yanqing.Su Yunxiu was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, sat up suddenly from the couch, hurried forward a few steps, stopped suddenly, and ordered in repeated voices: "Quickly ask him to go to the main hall."

It was rare to see his master looking so anxious, the messenger didn't dare to delay, and trotted out to meet the guests.Su Xuan also had a look of surprise on his face, he stared blankly at his mother entering the back room and changing clothes and coming out, seeing her walking out quickly, he quickly called out "Mother", before the rest of the words came out, there was a figure Already out of the threshold, after a few turns, he disappeared among the flowers and trees.

In the main hall, Hu Yanqing was sitting in the guest seat having tea, and after a short while, he heard the sound of wearing rings, and when he looked up, he saw Su Yunxiu coming from outside the curtain, his footsteps were not too fast, and his face was gentle. Smiling, calm and indifferent, made him feel unswervingly. After seeing the ceremony, he simply kept exchanging greetings, but he didn't say a word about the business, and only paid attention to her expression and behavior.

Su Yunxiu suppressed the impatience in his heart, echoed a few words, and seeing that he still didn't understand why he came, he couldn't help asking: "But Zi Jun has faith?"

Hu Yanqing looked up at her meeting, seeing that the eagerness on her brows did not seem to be fake, and she no longer pretended to be a secret. She nodded, then shook her head and said, "That's not true." Here comes the clue.Although Qin Zijun told her thousands of times before leaving, he didn't agree in his heart. Since he wanted to, why couldn't he tell her about it?

"Zi Jun may be in trouble this time." Hu Yanqing looked straight at Su Yunxiu, "Do you know the reason?"

Su Yunxiu's complexion changed slightly, and suddenly he thought of something, and his brows were furrowed even tighter: "But because of this matter of returning to Yangzhou?" In the past, there were not many storms in Qiantang Leshantang, and they lived in peace for three years. Now there is a sudden change, except for the commotion in Yangzhou this time, she can't think of anything else.But because of this, it made her feel even more uncomfortable, Zijun, Zijun, how should I repay this kindness.

"He is..." Su Yunxiu pursed her lips tightly, looked at Hu Yanqing with a complex expression, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "We have known each other for so long, but I don't know how much he has suffered. It is really..." At this point , but couldn't go on anymore.Su Yunxiu was annoyed and blamed herself, three years, a thousand days and nights, but she didn't know anything, didn't know.

Seeing her state of mind, Hu Yanqing also sighed. He disapproved of Zijun's actions, so he went against his will and insisted on coming to the door to explain clearly, but right now, he didn't know what to say.The affairs of the Qin family are so complicated that no one can figure out what is right and what is wrong, especially at this delicate time, he really can't say what will happen to Zi Jun's coming to Beijing this time.But it was precisely because he couldn't say it well that he hoped to do something, at least, not let his affection be buried deep in no one would know, at least, Su Yunxiu should accept Zijun's affection.

Thinking of this, he no longer thought about Zijun's entrusted warning before his departure, and opened up the chatterbox: "Everyone knows that King Xue of Jiashi in Jinling, in the final analysis, these few families are only passed down for three or four generations, and the Qin family in the capital is here. The aristocratic family is also extremely high. Not to mention, even a girl from a side branch can be the grandson and daughter-in-law of the Jia family, and the future clan wife, you know what is going on with the Qin family..."

Su Yunxiu sat quietly on the chair, but there was a huge wave in her heart.It turned out that Qin Zijun was actually from the Qin family in the capital. Hu Yanqing thought she didn't know, but how could she not know that the eldest grandson and eldest daughter-in-law of the Jia family, the Qin family, didn't this refer to Qin Keqing?Unexpectedly, she and Zijun were of the same clan.As for Zi Jun, he was actually born as a descendant of the Qin family, but unfortunately he was the concubine son of the head of the family, and because of the difference between his concubine and his concubine, he was destined to sacrifice for the family.There is nothing greater than heartbreak, so he left home and Beijing without hearing from him.If it was in the past, it would be fine, who would care about a useless bastard, but now, he has leveraged half of the Yangzhou officialdom for himself, so capable, how could his father and brother, who put the family's interests first, let him go?

Thinking of this, Su Yunxiu felt bitter and astringent, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.Seeing her like this, Hu Yanqing felt extremely complicated, sighed, and stopped talking.

The house fell into silence, the leaves rustled outside, the loneliness was desolate and hopeless.
