Chapter 144 Chapter 144 But Chen’s heart…
But Chen still felt very reluctant.
Father Su is no different. With the world in turmoil and chaos, he wants to stay home with his parents, wife, and daughter, living a peaceful life. But the world doesn't allow that...
Chen couldn't help but sigh, "When will the world be at peace again..."
"Yes, when..." The current emperor was old, obsessed with seeking immortality and the Way. Powerful eunuchs controlled the government, and the princes of various regions watched covetously, eager to take action. When would peace finally come? Father Su didn't know. He only knew that no matter who became emperor, life would be difficult for the people, but a little peace was always good.
Thinking of this, Father Su asked Chen, "Are the village cellars full of food?"
Chen didn't know why her husband suddenly asked about this, but she still answered truthfully, "It's all stocked up."
Since I bought the carriage, I am no longer afraid of being discovered when transporting grain back to the village, and the grain is fully stockpiled.
Father Su nodded, that was good, but to be on the safe side, he still said, "I'll go and take a look when I go back in a few days." Just in case, if the world always stays like this, it would be fine. If there is chaos in the city one day, his wife and daughter can go back.
Chen nodded. She didn't dare to joke about such things.
Then, the two of them talked for a while about who to invite for their daughter Su Hong's marriage.
"We're going to invite my second and third uncles' families, but should we also invite my mother's?" Chen counted off the families one by one on her fingers. If she couldn't make up her mind, she would ask Father Su. But Father Su didn't know either, so Chen could only say, "Then ask Mother tomorrow."
"Okay." Father Su said he had no objection.
So Chen temporarily decided, "Let's decide these for now. We'll discuss it tomorrow and see who else to add."
Father Su nodded again and said yes. Chen rolled her eyes at him and said, "You only know how to say yes, but you don't know how to say anything else."
This was a completely unprovoked disaster. Father Su didn't say anything. "Then I can't say for sure."
Chen became even angrier and hit him with her hand. Su's father was helpless, but he had to bear it alone as his wife. Fortunately, Chen also knew the severity of the blow, so she hit him lightly twice and then let go.
"Okay, let's go to sleep..."
The next day, Chen indeed found Mrs. Wu to discuss the list of her daughter's marriage candidates. Mrs. Wu told Chen the relatives she wanted to invite, and the matter was finally settled.
In the next few days, Chen and Su's father went to visit these relatives. Everyone who heard about the happy event felt happy for Su Hong and said that they would definitely come to the wedding to attend the wedding.
Of course, there were some rumors during this period, saying that Wang Ergou married Su Hong just for the money of the Su family, but these words were refuted by those who had received favors from the Su family, and did not cause any trouble.
"By the way, should we send an invitation to Young Master Song and the others as well?" Su Qinghe asked his father when he returned from the village that day.
"Mr. Song and the others have returned from the north?"
"I'm back. I saw Mr. Song at the restaurant yesterday."
"Then we have to send one copy." Father Su said, and then he went to Wen's house in person, delivered the invitation to Song Ling, and asked the servants to give the other copy to Madam Lin.
When Song Ling received the invitation, he was playing chess with a man in the backyard. The man was none other than Li Heng, the King of Ji, who was supposed to be in Jizhou. He looked at Song Ling with a smile in his eyes. Although he didn't say anything, people could see through his thoughts at a glance.
"Your father-in-law is here to invite you to a wedding?" He teased after taking a sip of tea.
Song Ling, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words." This concerns a woman's reputation, how can it be a joke?
Li Heng glanced at Song Ling and said, "Boring."
Then he continued, "You've been back for so many days, but there's been no progress with that young lady?"
Song Ling, "Ling only has official business in his mind, and no personal feelings for his children."
Li Heng: ...
But soon he began to tease her again, "Since you don't have any romantic feelings in your heart, then it probably doesn't matter if the young lady is with someone else, right? I heard that the Su family is already looking for a match for their two daughters."
Song Ling's expression remained unchanged. "It would be wonderful if Madam Su could find a good husband."
Li Heng was a little confused when he saw this. "It doesn't matter if the young lady marries someone else?"
Song Ling, "Yes."
Seeing that the other party was not joking, Li Heng stopped joking completely. He originally thought that Song Ling had been taking good care of the Su family father and son recently because he liked their daughter, but now it sounded like that was not the case.
"Forget it, forget it. It's up to you. I won't go with you anymore. I'm going to Su Ji Restaurant to listen to stories and have a meal." Li Heng has completely fallen in love with the food at Su Ji Restaurant these days. He goes there to eat almost three meals a day. While eating, he listens to the storyteller telling stories about cultivating immortals. Needless to say, these stories are much more interesting than those elixirs and techniques of immortality that he heard from his father.
After saying this, Li Heng threw the chess piece in his hand into the bowl, stood up and left with his entourage.
Song Ling was left sitting there, continuing to play chess with him for a long while before stopping. However, by the time he stopped, dusk had already fallen all around him, and a gentle breeze brushed his cheeks. He couldn't help but think of what he had just said: what would he do if Madam Su really got married? But no matter how he thought about it, the answer was only "no".
Yes, he admitted that he did have some feelings for Madam Su, but that was all, and it would remain so in the future.
His life is destined not to bring happiness to anyone. If that's the case, why bother wasting other people's lives? What's more, Song Ling knows clearly that Su Li has no other thoughts about him, so he shouldn't cause trouble to others.
Thinking of this, Song Ling's heart gradually calmed down. He picked up the invitation in his hand and went into the house.
At this time, on the other side of the Su family, Su's father, Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe returned to the door of their home after delivering the invitations, and saw Chen sending out several women with rouge and powder on their faces. Although Su's father and the other two were confused, they did not say it out loud.
It was not until they entered the room that Chen said that those people were actually matchmakers. "Why are you looking for a matchmaker?"
Su's father was puzzled.
Chen rolled her eyes at Su's father, and then told him her thoughts.
Father Su smiled innocently when he heard this, "That's right, Erlang and Sanlang are old now, it's time for them to get married."
"Well, in that case, you can look after them."
As soon as these words came out, Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe beside them instantly felt embarrassed.
"father…"
"mother…"
"What's the big deal? Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Are you still embarrassed?" Father Su looked at his son and smiled, then went into the house with his hands behind his back.
Seeing this, Chen quickly asked her two sons what they liked. Su Qingshan touched his head and said, "I'm fine with any of them. Just help me choose, Mom."
It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to get married. At least Su Qingshan really wanted to. In the past few years in the military camp, he had heard a lot of dirty jokes about this matter, and he also longed for the days of having a wife, children and a warm bed as those veterans talked about.
"Okay. What about Saburo?"
Su Qinghe thought of what he had heard not long ago, and his face turned pale. "Mom, I'm not in a hurry..."
When Chen heard Su Qinghe say this, she just thought he was embarrassed. After all, the third son had always been more introverted than the second son since childhood, so it was normal for him to feel embarrassed.
But I had made up my mind to find a girl for my second son first. If I found a suitable one, I would find one for my third son.
However, only Su Li knew what was going on.
That day, Su Li heard Chunhua say that Sister Lancao was going to get married soon. When she returned home in the afternoon, she heard that her third brother had rejected her mother's proposal to find a date for him.
What's not clear about this? When the third brother was about to leave, Sister Lancao came to find him. After that, she didn't get married for many years. She must have been waiting for the third brother.
As for the third brother, Su Li felt that he also had feelings for Sister Lancao. Maybe he was depressed and refused to see her recently because he heard that Sister Lancao was going to get married.
Thinking of this, she called Su Qinghe out after dinner that night, "Third brother, do you know that Sister Lancao is getting married?"
Su Qinghe's expression froze, and he pretended to be indifferent and said, "Really? I don't know."
Seeing this, Su Li didn't beat around the bush with Su Qinghe and went straight to the point, "Third brother, when you heard that Sister Lancao was getting married, didn't you have any thoughts at all?"
"What can I think?"
"She is about to get married." After saying this, Su Qinghe still felt a little aggrieved.
After hearing this, Su Li knew that her third brother was not completely indifferent to this matter.
"So you admit that you like her?"
Su Qinghe stopped talking again, but Su Li guessed from his expression that he must like her.
But since Third Brother also likes Sister Lancao, and Sister Lancao also likes Third Brother, why would Sister Lancao marry someone else?
After all, Sister Lancao hadn't married in so many years, so why did she suddenly want to get married when her third brother came back? She had heard that Sister Lancao had made a scene that the whole village knew about in order to avoid getting married. How could such a person get married so easily? There must be something unknown going on.
Su Li thought about it and only thought of one possibility, "Third brother, you have been back for so long, have you ever gone back to the village to look for Sister Lancao?"
"No."
Huh? Su Li looked at her third brother. Why did she feel that her third brother also had some potential to be a scumbag?
"Why not?"
"Why do you want to go?" In Su Qinghe's eyes, men and women should not meet privately. After all, if other people saw them, wouldn't it ruin the girl's reputation?
Su Li...
It turns out that her third brother hasn't contacted her for so long since he came back, no wonder she wants to get married! If it were her, the same would happen. If the person she has liked for many years comes back and there is no news at all, she would also think too much, right?
"You like someone, but you don't tell them clearly, what are you thinking?"
"Of course, we should ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage." Su Qinghe looked righteous.
After hearing this, Su Li was stunned. Yes, she had modern ideas and believed that if you like someone, you should confess your feelings to each other first and then confirm the relationship and fall in love. However, people in this era would ask a matchmaker to propose marriage if they like someone.
"Originally, I thought that I would explain everything to my parents in a few days, and then ask someone to propose marriage..." In the end, he heard the news that his beloved woman was about to get married. How could Su Qinghe not be sad?
Okay...it turned out that she had misunderstood the third brother, but Su Li still felt that the third brother was wrong. After all, even if he wanted to propose marriage, he had to inform the other party. Now that the other party saw that you had no reaction, he might have given up hope.
Thinking of this, Su Li told Su Qinghe exactly what she said, and Su Qinghe was so scared that he immediately asked, "What should we do?"
Only then did he realize that he had been a little inconsiderate.
Su Li felt a bit overwhelmed when she thought about this, but as an insider who had witnessed their love for so many years, Su Li felt that she couldn't just sit back and watch, so she could only bite the bullet and said, "How about I go talk to Sister Fangcao?"
But does this count as poaching?
