Chapter 326 Going home to visit relatives
The aunt still cherished Su Xiaoxiao very much. After Su Xiaoxiao soaked her feet and the maid came to help pour the water, the aunt asked Su Xiaoxiao very curiously.
"Speaking of which, how did you and General Pei Yuan meet?"
Aunt asked Su Xiaoxiao suddenly.
Su Xiaoxiao really didn't know how to answer when she heard this, "Maybe it's because of fate."
"General Pei heard that he is very good-looking, and he is also the general of the country. Speaking of how he came to our rural town, you are really destined."
Auntie said with admiration.
"Well, maybe it's because he likes girls like me who are informal and not so weak."
Su Xiaoxiao explained this, but even she didn't seem to have much confidence in this feeling. In fact, she didn't know why Pei Yuan liked her.
My identity is just a wild woman in the village, which is really strange. Why does General Pei like me?
Logically speaking, Su Xiaoxiao felt that she was not very beautiful, and she was a bit domineering.
The aunt also advised Su Xiaoxiao that if she married Pei Yuan, she must be sensible, learn to serve others well, and be a good wife and mother. She also asked Su Xiaoxiao when she would have children.
Su Xiaoxiao was almost overwhelmed by her aunt's questions, so she had to lie and say that she was sleepy and wanted to sleep first. Then her aunt stopped her nagging of love, closed the door and went out.
Su Xiaoxiao returned home, naturally very relaxed, and slept until midnight the next day.
She yawned and slept in the room she slept in when she was a daughter, so it was naturally familiar and comfortable.
There was a knock on the door. Su Xiaoxiao went to open the door and found that it was her aunt.
He was waiting outside the door with a bowl of lotus seed soup, "Are you awake?"
"Drink it while it's hot, or it'll get cold. Seeing that you don't look so good, I asked the kitchen to cook it for you."
Su Xiaoxiao took the bowl directly, and the tray contained some delicious snacks, which were Su Xiaoxiao's favorite.
How can we really live in this world without snacks?
"Try it quickly, it's all what you like."
Su Xiaoxiao saw her aunt treat her so well, and she knew that it was all heavy love.
"Thank you Auntie, I'm not too hungry yet. You can eat too!"
The aunt looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a smile and said, "I'm not hungry, just eat."
"By the way, your cousin is engaged to the Sun family across the street. Her Sun Xiaomei is also here to play today. Go and help your cousin check it out."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, her eyes became sharp.
She had always been worried about her cousin's marriage. Now it seemed that her cousin was holding back a big trick. He and his neighbor Sun Xiaomei had already secretly made love.
Su Xiaoxiao agreed, packed up, and went out. She saw a very dignified and generous-looking woman joking with two maids in the garden outside the yard.
Her temperament itself is very gentle and looks very demure.
The aunt told Su Xiaoxiao that Sun Xiaomei had always had a good relationship with Su Bingcheng. They had been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and they had never married, having waited for Su Bingcheng for so many years.
The aunt was busy introducing the two people, but Su Xiaoxiao generously stepped forward and saluted.
"I've seen cleaning."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, but it made Sun Xiaomei blush. After all, she wasn't married to Su Bingcheng yet, so of course she was shy.
Su Xiaoxiao did not forget to praise this unmarried sister-in-law, "No wonder my cousin has never been married. It turns out that there is such a beautiful sister-in-law waiting for my cousin."
Sun Xiaomei's face suddenly turned red, "Stop teasing Xiaomei, she is thin-skinned." Auntie hurried over to rescue her.
Su Xiaoxiao thought that Sun Xiaomei was very polite, so she must be from a scholarly family.
She then asked Sun Xiaomei: "Sister-in-law, have you ever read a book?"
Sun Xiaomei answered modestly: "Yes, I have read a little bit."
The aunt quickly explained: "The Sun family is a scholarly family, and their family has been officials in the court for generations."
After hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao was quite happy for her cousin.
Cousin Su Chengcheng likes reading the most, and now he can finally get his wish.
Su Xiaoxiao knew how to hunt, which surprised Sun Xiaomei, "How can a beautiful woman like you know how to hunt? You really can't tell?"
"Really? If sister-in-law is interested, you can go hunting with me? How about we go tomorrow?"
Su Xiaoxiao actually just wanted to hunt a little bit, and she was really anxious. Since she could return to her own territory, didn't everything she said count?
The aunt quickly persuaded from behind: "Don't go, Xiaoxiao, you have forgotten your identity. Besides, you have just gotten married. What if the pregnant child is lost?"
Su Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously at Sun Xiaomei.
"Look, sister-in-law, my aunt is always so nosy."
Sun Xiaomei smiled and said: "It's not like being nosy, it's just that caring leads to chaos."
Su Xiaoxiao also smiled, and her aunt's angry voice came from behind.
"By the way, I have prepared a formal reception banquet for you tomorrow, so please don't run around!"
After aunt gave Su Xiaoxiao a few more words, she went to the kitchen to prepare.
In fact, the Su family is a big family. Many relatives and friends learned that Su Xiaoxiao went home to recognize her relatives and married a general, so they naturally became more curious about Su Xiaoxiao.
When Su Xiaoxiao found out, she smiled and said, "Well, we are planning to come back to hold another happy event. It just so happens that General Pei Yuan can come back to hold a happy event with me after he has finished his important military affairs."
After Sun Xiaomei went to the kitchen with her aunt, she and Su Xiaoxiao quickly became familiar with each other.
Sure enough, it must be easier for young people to open up the topic, Sun Xiaomei asked Su Xiaoxiao.
"How are you preparing for the reception banquet tomorrow?"
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "Isn't it just about eating? It's good to have a mouth. What else are you preparing?"
When Sun Xiaomei heard this, she realized that Su Xiaoxiao was really too naive.
"Anyway, those relatives will definitely come over and want to know whether you can play the piano and what skills you have. Otherwise, how could the general fall in love with you?"
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned when she heard this. Is there such a thing? Sure enough, eating was all a lie, but luckily Sun Xiaomei reminded her in advance.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I have my own way. The soldiers will block it, and the water and soil will cover it up."
Su Xiaoxiao's very optimistic character did not surprise Sun Xiaomei.
"But, Xiaoxiao, you also need to know that there are some relatives who want to marry into the palace. They should especially dislike you. When the time comes, you have to do this..."
Sun Xiaomei helped Su Xiaoxiao analyze everything in detail, which made Su Xiaoxiao's head almost grow big. Talking about this matter really made Su Xiaoxiao inexplicably anxious. At first, she didn't take it to heart at all.
