Xiong Feng carefully wrote down everything Su Tai said, then stood up again and bowed deeply.
"Xiong Feng has benefited a lot from listening to Auntie's words. I will reflect on myself when I return home and live up to Auntie's teachings."
Niu looked bitter and resentful from the moment she entered the room. She had a tense expression and didn't say a word. She thought Su Tai would make things difficult for Xiong Feng, and she was ready to quarrel with Su Tai.
As a result, she was confused from the moment she sat down.
She could understand some of what Su Tai said at the beginning, which was nothing more than reminding her grandson how to do things, but what did she say afterwards? What did the jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards mean? Also, why did Su Tai help her grandson? Shouldn't she bring up the past?
Because she couldn't figure it out, Niu was very conflicted and couldn't even decide how to start the conversation.
Seeing that Niu hadn't said anything, Shen Xi took the initiative to run to Su Tai and act coquettishly, "Aunt, can you help the county magistrate find a wife?"
“Cough, cough, cough” Xiong Feng was choked by Shen Xi’s shocking words, and coughed violently several times, his handsome face gradually flushed, “Xi’er, don’t talk nonsense.”
Shen Xi looked aggrieved, "I'm not talking nonsense, it was grandma who asked us to help."
Xiong Feng held his forehead helplessly.
Su Tai took a sip of tea, hid her smile, and asked calmly, "Do you have a girl you like?"
Niu was shocked and was so anxious that she even forgot to ask.
No, that's not right. It's not that she forgot to ask, but she instinctively didn't want Xiong Feng to choose his own wife. She let her son do everything and listened to him. Even his marriage was something he regretted. What happened? What kind of a thing did he marry?
If my son had not regretted his marriage
Niu's gaze fell on Su Tai. Even though she didn't like Su Tai, she had to admit that this woman was not simple. She just sat there without saying a word, and no one dared to ignore her. She spoke in a series of words, and she couldn't understand anything she said. The rise of the Shen family had a lot to do with this woman.
Niu took a deep breath and shook her head secretly. She couldn't think about it anymore. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she would feel.
Xiong Feng paused, thought for a moment, and bowed again, "Yes!"
Everyone looked at Xiong Feng.
Niu was even more incredulous and asked, "Who? How come I didn't know that you had a crush on someone?"
Her grandson had been with him before she took part in the imperial examination. She could guarantee that he did not fall in love with any girl at that time. Could it be that he met her in the imperial capital?
Xiong Feng pursed his lips and said, "It's Miss Ke Mingyue from the Ke family."
Su Tai's pupils trembled, and she raised her eyes suddenly, "Are you interested in Mingyue?"
Ke Mingyue is Ye Chunhua's daughter and also her cousin. The Ke family has been living well on the ice field in recent years, and Ke Dasong has been determined to marry his granddaughter to his family. Two years ago, he brought several grandchildren over and asked Su Tai to send them to Ke Yunyun.
Su Tai naturally did not refuse the convenient thing, and she did not care about it anymore after knowing that the children had safely arrived in the imperial capital.
Xiong Feng nodded heavily. "When I was in the imperial capital, I lived and ate with Congrong and Yongzhang. I went wherever they went. I met Sister Mingyue several times at Lord Tang's residence. Her birthday is in the fall, and Madam Tang will have to wait until after her birthday to arrange a marriage for her."
Su Tai understood, glanced at the confused Niu, and slowly lowered her eyes, "Since you are interested, just write and ask in person. I will help you talk to you when I go to the imperial capital. I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not."
Xiong Feng was delighted and thanked him again.
After Su Tai handed the things to him, he took Niu to say goodbye to Su Tai, not daring to disturb her too much.
Niu didn't speak until she got on the carriage, "Why are you so respectful to that woman? I've never seen you be so respectful to any elder, let alone to your mother."
Although she hated Mo Chunxiang, she felt uncomfortable seeing Xiong Feng's completely opposite attitudes towards Su Tai and Mo Chunxiang.
Xiong Feng lowered his eyelids and laughed sarcastically, "Grandma, do you think my mother is worthy of my respect? You know how she treated me over the years. If it weren't for the fact that I'm her son, I'm afraid my fate would be similar to Xier's.
My parents have let Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen down, but they did not take their anger out on me. I have been alone in the imperial capital these years, and they know that Congrong Yongzhang and I are together, so they always give me a share of anything they send to the imperial capital.
The value of the things is secondary, the most important thing is the thought, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to the things for favors. Just now, Aunt Shen was still advising me on how to gain a foothold in Zhaohua County. If I exchange sincerity for sincerity, isn't it natural for me to respect Aunt Shen?"
These words really left Niu speechless. Before Niu could speak, Xiong Feng murmured again: "Sometimes I really envy Congrong. He has a mother who loves him so much and takes care of him so well. As for my mother... it's better not to mention her."
For more than a month, Mo Chunxiang also lived in the back hall of the county government office, but he never took the initiative to see her.
Mo Chunxiang, on the other hand, would make a fuss to see him every day, asking for this and that, and was also very rude to the servants. Fortunately, she had Niu to control her. Whenever she made a fuss, Niu would rush over, either whipping her or slapping her, trying her best to make Mo Chunxiang behave herself.
Mo Chunxiang is also very troublesome. She behaved well after being punished, but returned to her old ways within a few days. If Niu didn't care, she would become even worse and seek trouble for herself.
Because Mo Chunxiang was so noisy, he didn't like to go back to the back hall of the county government office. Except for going to the back hall to accompany Niu for meals, he stayed in the government office all the time.
Niu felt even more bitter when she heard her grandson's words. Her nose felt sore and her eyes immediately turned red. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so indulgent to your father, he wouldn't have broken off the engagement and married your mother, a troublemaker. Not to mention Su Tai, any woman in our village is better than your mother!
Forget it, let's not talk about that. Feng'er, what's the situation of the girl from the Ke family you just mentioned? What kind of person is she? I tell you, you can't just look at the appearance when judging a girl. Your father was obsessed with your mother's face back then. You must learn from this lesson."
Xiong Feng looked helpless, "Grandma, don't worry! Although the Ke family sent people to the Tang family, they never thought of taking advantage of the Tang family. They bought a small house in the imperial capital, next to the Tang family, and also bought a small farm on the outskirts of the city to raise cattle and sheep.
Whenever Miss Ke's brothers and sisters had time, they would go to the Tang family to learn some social skills and management affairs from Mrs. Tang. They would occasionally accompany Mrs. Tang for a walk, and the rest of the time they would work on the farm.
I heard Rongrong say that Miss Ke and her family made a lot of money just by selling cattle and sheep, so it was not a problem for them to support themselves.
The reason why I like Miss Ke is that I admire her self-reliance and self-improvement. In addition, Miss Ke is smart and kind, and she can keep her heart."
He remembered that when Ke Mingyue first came to Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, the little girl had obviously never seen the world. As soon as she entered the door, she was shocked by the wealth and grandeur of the mansion, and she didn't know where to look. (End of this chapter)
