Chapter 16 Taboo

On the day before autumn, the young masters of the Su family received a variety of things.

There are also those who give the four treasures of the study, some who give handkerchiefs and sachets, and some who give clothes, shoes and socks. Even Master Su San, who is doing business outside, specially ordered someone to send back the "Good News Three Yuan" pen from Jiangnan Baomoxuan -

—The pen holder is made of ivory, and the pen cap is made of blue field jade. It is engraved with an auspicious pattern of a magpie holding three longans in its mouth. The workmanship is exquisite, and the price is high at a glance.

The pencil case made by Song Yunpan is not conspicuous at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you can see red lotuses blooming among the green lotus leaves, among which a few herons stand with their heads held high, or roam leisurely and calmly.

Leisurely, lifelike.

Old Mrs. Su couldn't help but praise, "Sister Pan's female beauty is getting better and better."

Su Xiao was so innocent that she nodded her head repeatedly and said with envy on her face, "I hope my cousin's embroidery is so beautiful... This egret looks like it's alive!"

Su Yu also smiled and echoed, "What grandma said is that it makes my granddaughter feel a little ashamed of herself... We will never dare to be lazy and not go to class again in the future."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Only Su Rong and Su Lin looked at each other silently, with a slight look of disdain on their faces.

The third lady laughed and said, "What's wrong? I think Sister Pan's embroidery skills are better than our sewing team!"

But he compared Song Yunpan to an embroiderer...

Su Heng frowned almost imperceptibly.

Sure enough, Song Yunpan's face turned red and white, and he forced himself to smile, "Third Aunt is so flattering..."

Seeing this, the second wife smiled and changed the subject and said, "Everything is fine... Whether it's a handkerchief or a pencil case, it's all everyone's wish. No matter what, it's fine! I only hope that you three can advance together and win the Guilin List."

The title will not disappoint our expectations."

The three brothers Su Heng, Su Rui and Su Cong quickly handed over their hands.

Autumn is approaching, and the three of them still need to go back and prepare things for the exam. After talking for a while, they went their separate ways.

Second Mrs. Su deliberately sent away sisters Su Yu and Su Rong because of the previous incident, and while walking back with Song Yunpan, she comforted her, "Your third aunt has such a temper. She speaks straightforwardly, so don't take it to heart.

"

Song Yunpan was flattered and said, "Second aunt said something serious... Yunpan doesn't care."

Mrs. Su Er nodded happily, held her hand and said, "Second aunt knows that you are a good child who is sensible and polite." Then she said with a loving face, "Now there are many things at home, and I can't take care of you for a while... I've waited a while.

Qiu Wei, your second cousin's marriage has been decided, and your uncle and I will pay close attention to it and choose a good husband for our sister Pan."

The smile on Song Yunpan's face paused, and after a while he lowered his eyes and said softly, "Second aunt, please stop teasing me..."

Mrs. Su's second wife pulled her and said kindly, "This is not a joke. It's the first time for men to get married, and it's time for women to get married. Your parents passed away early, and your second uncle and I have always regarded you as our own child, your second cousin."

Brother—in his heart, you are just like Sister Yu, Errong, and the others... We can only hope that you will have a good life."

Song Yunpan told her that she could no longer hold her head up as she spoke, holding back her tears, and whispered, "I know that you, your uncle, your cousin... everyone in the family treats me very well."

Mrs. Su Er patted the back of her hand and said with a meaningful smile, "That's why your child is so cute and worthy of being loved." Seeing that she had said almost everything she needed to say, Mrs. Su Er then said

He stopped and said, "You have been working hard making pencil cases for your cousins ​​these days. Go back and rest quickly... I still need to go to your second cousin's place to see if everything is in order."

Song Yunpan nodded, bowed to Mrs. Su again, and the two parted ways.

When Song Yun waited for his master and servant to go away, Aunt Zheng behind Mrs. Su Er whispered, "Madam, I don't think my cousin has that intention. What you just said -"

Mrs. Su Er raised her hand slightly, "I would like to believe that she is honest, but she knows people but doesn't know their hearts. Back then -" She didn't know what she thought of for a moment, her voice couldn't help but pause, and she sighed after a while, "

When the third master picked her up and came back from the south, I felt something was wrong, but after all, how old is the child? If we didn't care, could it be that her uncle and aunt really sold her away?"

Aunt Zheng sighed and said, "My cousin is also a poor person..."

Mrs. Su's second wife was half-hearted and said, "It's not pitiful... As long as she doesn't put her mind on my second husband, I think she is a good one. In the future, I will help her plan a good marriage with the master and marry her in a glorious way."

Get out. Otherwise——"

She is not a vegetarian either!

…………………………

On the other side, Grandma Su and Mrs. Su San were walking together.

Su Lin was leading Su Xiao to feed the fish at the edge of the pond, surrounded by a large group of maids and women.

When Aunt Su saw Mrs. Su looking back from time to time, she couldn't help but wonder, "What is Third Aunt looking at?"

Mrs. Su San covered her mouth with a fan and said with a smile, "I'm looking to see which one is so bold as to pick out your second aunt's eyes!"

"You mean..." Grandma Su was stunned for a moment, then she realized what she was doing and said in astonishment, "I hope my cousin is gentle and well-behaved, and the most polite person... Could it be that Second Aunt misunderstood?"

Mrs. Su San smiled disapprovingly and said, "Who knows? Anyway, I'm watching with cold eyes. Your second aunt has been very wary of Pan Yatou recently, lest she would abduct her heart!" Because she thought about it again,

She smiled with a secretive expression on her face and said, "There is a saying that 'when a young person is young, he will admire his parents; if he is a lustful person, he will admire Shao Ai'. I hope that this girl has such an attractive appearance at such a young age. I can't blame your second aunt for guarding her against her."

It’s like guarding against thieves.”

Grandma Su smiled and said, "I'm afraid the second aunt is too worried. The second master has been studying abroad in the past few years, and the two of them have never spoken a few words..."

Mrs. Su San smiled half-heartedly, "What's the hindrance? Back then our aunt was not..."

Grandma Su looked stern, and instinctively glanced in the direction of Su Lin and Su Xiao. Seeing that the two of them were having a good time, she breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Third Aunt, be careful what you say."

Mrs. Su San sneered, "You... When you were a girl, you were as timid as before. I don't want to get married and become worse than before."

It turned out that the two of them were old acquaintances in the boudoir because they were similar in age, and later they married into the Su family one after another, but one became a wife and the other a grandmother.
