The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 782 The best friend of the reborn daughter of the Duke's Mansion (53)

Zhou Tianyu was silent for a while after hearing what Madam Su said. Just when Su Xiangran thought that she would leave the Su family manor, he spoke again: "Madam, after we get married, I will ask for a title for Xiaoran.

From now on, all the family property will be in her name. I will ask for the promise of 'never taking a concubine' to be included in the imperial decree granting marriage to you, so please believe that I love her sincerely."

Mrs. Su did not respond to Zhou Tianyu's words, but put the golden hairpin in her hand back into the brocade box, and then picked up the box again.

"This gold hairpin is great, just right for your coming-of-age ceremony." Madam Su patted her daughter Su Xiangran on the shoulder and said, "My little Ran has grown up. After your coming-of-age ceremony, I will arrange a marriage for you."

Zhou Tianyu didn't understand what Madam Su meant for a moment, and thought that she had found another family for Su Xiangran. His face immediately turned pale: "Madam Su, I...you..."

"What a mess!" Madam Su frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "You kid, why don't you hurry up and do things? You have already collected the hairpin, and your wife can't run away. My Xiao Ran will have a few days before her coming-of-age ceremony."

Zhou Tianyu was surprised when he heard this, but he still couldn't believe it: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is: after the coming-of-age ceremony, the imperial decree of marriage can be delivered." Madam Su said with a smile, "I see that you are sincere to Xiao Ran, but although the marriage is granted, I still want her to wait until she is sixteen before getting married. Do you have any objection to this?"

"No, no!" Zhou Tianyu almost jumped up with joy, and quickly knelt down to thank her, "Thank you very much, madam! I don't have any elders in my family, so please bear with me, auntie."

The pronunciation has changed so quickly. Just now she was calling me "Mrs. Su" and now she is calling me "Auntie"!

"Okay, just don't blame me." Madam Su continued, "The coming-of-age banquet is only a few days away, so I'll take Xiao Ran back home. Just do what you need to do!"

Ah? Zhou Tianyu, who was overjoyed, finally understood at this moment: the reason why his future mother-in-law came to the manor was to take Su Xiangran back to the Su Mansion.

Although the marriage has been agreed by the Su family, he could see his "wife" every day before, but he probably won't be able to see her for a long time in the future.

Su Xiangran did not follow her mother out, but turned to Zhou Tianyu and said, "Brother Zhou, keep an eye on my flower fields. A batch of flowers should be blooming soon. Remember to notify me when the time comes, and I will write you the method for further processing.

I'm sorry to bother you with the follow-up matters. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."

After saying these words, Su Xiangran even blinked at him on purpose.

Zhou Tianyu immediately understood what the other party meant: "Okay! I understand. If I don't understand something, I will definitely ask you."

How could he know anything? He knew nothing about the handling of spices, although he owned a spice shop.

Madam Su looked back at her daughter and coughed softly, "Okay, let's go home! Qing'e will help you pack up the things here and take them back."

After getting on the carriage, Mrs. Su saw her daughter's joyful look and added, "Girls should not be kept at home when they grow up!"

"Mom!" Su Xiangran felt that she should be shy for a moment to avoid embarrassment, so she blushed and lowered her head.

The mother and daughter didn't say anything else along the way. Mrs. Su would occasionally ask about the situation in the flower field, but she didn't ask about anything else, especially about Zhou Tianyu.

Since there were no carriages on the road during this time period, the trip back to the city didn't take long.

Not long after, the two arrived at the gate of Su Mansion.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw people coming in and out of the Duke's Mansion next door, and it seemed that there were quite a lot of people coming and going.

"What is this?" Su Xiangran was a little puzzled. Ever since the incident with the Yin sisters, it seemed that their family had become much more low-key, basically closing the door to visitors. What was going on now?

"Oh! Nothing, Duke Xing is taking a concubine!" Madam Su said disapprovingly, "When Yin Caiwei got into trouble, he had already found one, who was carried in through a small side door. This time, it is said that the one is the daughter of an official from another place.

Because she is a daughter of an official family, she is acting with extra caution. This ceremony is even more grand than the last time when she was promoted to a concubine."

"Mom, Daddy is better!" Su Xiangran said with a smile, "Although our family is simple, we live comfortably!"

Madam Su tapped her daughter's forehead and said as she walked in, "Why else would I agree to Zhou Wenyu's proposal? Isn't it because his family's relationships are not complicated? It's not that you can't handle it, but that kind of life is too tiring.

That's why your grandmother transferred your father. When there are more people, there are more things to do. No matter if you are in charge of the household or not, it is easy to become anxious. You work hard for others, but you may not even get a good word from them.

It is common to be difficult to satisfy everyone, but few people can ignore it. Even if you are good at dealing with people, people who don't like you will still think you are bad.

I couldn't refuse Concubine Jing's request at the beginning, but this time I have to find you a worry-free one."
