Chapter 866: Beating

The happiest person about the arrival of my grandfather's family was Shuyao, the unhappiest person was Mrs. Chen, and the one who was both happy and unhappy was Lord Chen.

Lord Chen was scolded and reprimanded by several strong uncles, who implied that he had not taken good care of Shuyao.

Lord Chen is full of grievances and asks God to distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

Even if he was Shuyao's biological father, he couldn't go against his conscience and say that Shuyao didn't take good care of the pregnancy.

Look at his daughter, her face is rosy and shiny, and her temper is getting worse day by day.

If this is called not raising the child well, then what is called raising the child well?

The uncles didn't care about this. In their eyes, the pregnant Shuyao was the one who suffered the most.

"Humph, I've given birth to your children one after another, why don't you feel sorry for me? When it comes to your niece, you'll know that being pregnant is a torment for a woman."

The aunts ate aged vinegar but their hands never stopped moving.

They were preparing to make sour fruits for Shuyao. Pregnant women like to eat sour and spicy food. Now that it is autumn, almost all the fruits are ripe, which is suitable for making sour fruits.

Several adult brothers pestered Lord Chen, wanting him to talk more about Kyoto.

Lord Chen feels a lot of pressure staying in this courtyard and always wants to leave.

The eldest uncle said, "We are all rough people and have never been to Kyoto. We are completely in the dark and don't know anything. If we say something wrong and offend someone, won't it cause trouble for Shuyao in the end? Hurry up and tell us all about the taboos in Kyoto."

Lord Chen thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

He told all that he knew.

When everyone heard that Su Dalang and Su Erlang decided to change their mother's surname, the whole family was shocked.

"Will the Su family agree? Wouldn't this mean that the Marquis of Yongchang would go from marrying a wife to marrying into the family?"

"It's even worse than marrying into the wife's family. For an ordinary man who marries into the wife's family, the family will be reborn after three generations, but the descendants of Dalang and Erlang will always have the surname Gu."

Lord Chen sighed, "There's nothing we can do. This matter involves the country's foundation."

"The Su family didn't cause any trouble?" Put yourself in their shoes. If they were surnamed Su, they would have to try their best to move up.

Master Chen glanced at the prosperous Yue family and said, "They must have caused trouble. Look, the whole family has been detained and will be executed in the future. People should learn to be content with what they have in their lives. Don't think too much about things that are not yours."

The uncle glanced at him and snorted, "Stop giving us some advice here. I know better than you that only when Shuyao is well can we be well."

Mr. Chen stopped talking and said nothing more.

The large population of the Yue family was a help to Shuyao. She had only one brother, who was mediocre and could not shoulder the heavy burden in the future.

At present, Su Yunting treats her well.

Who can guarantee that he will treat Shuyao well all his life?

With a group of capable brothers, when Shuyao grows old and loses her looks, Su Yunting will not be too cruel to Shuyao for the sake of these brothers.

This is Mr. Chen’s fatherly heart.

…

Mid-Autumn Festival is here soon, a great day for family reunion.

Su Yunyan hurried and arrived in Kyoto the day before Mid-Autumn Festival.

Wen Yu, Wei Murier and his group also came back with her.

"What a cruel girl. Letting you go is like a little eagle that flies away and never comes back." Gu Nanxi grabbed Su Yunyan and looked her up and down. Seeing that there were no obvious scars on her body, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yunyan held Gu Nanxi's arm, leaned her head on her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Mom, if you don't go out for a while, you won't know how big the sky is and how thick the highlands are. The people of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions are very interesting. They look different, speak different languages, and have different beliefs."

Her eyes were as bright as a clear spring, and her whole body exuded an aura of courage and majesty.

Even though she was still acting like a little girl at the moment, her aura made people unable to help but keep their eyes on her and listen carefully to her every word.

A hint of gentle admiration flashed in Gu Nanxi's eyes. Yunyan has really grown up.

After being detained, going through diplomatic mediation and recovering the three kingdoms of Gaochang, she lost the delicate nature of growing up in a greenhouse and became fearless of wind and rain.

Gu Nanxi saw two words in her: ambition!

"Master, the banquet is ready!" Lumei came over with a smile on her face.

Xiaohua rubbed against Lumei and pounced in front of her, scaring her.

Green Plum tapped Xiaohua's brows and said, "My dear young lady, you brought a naughty boy like me here! Humph, you scared me as soon as you came. I will punish you by not having any meat to eat later."

Xiaohua hummed and chirped, and nudged its big head against Lumei's neck, finally knocking her down.

The man and the beast walked towards the garden in a sticky manner.

A lot of people were invited to this banquet.

In addition to Gu Nanxi's family, Wen Yu, Wei Murer and his party, many officials from other places working in Kyoto were also invited.

Most of them were drawn from various states in the north, and some passed the civil service recruitment examination.

Whether you are willing to come to your house to eat together is entirely up to your personal preference. You can come whenever you want, there is no hard and fast rule.

Because there are so many people, there are many dining modes.

There was a formal buffet with all kinds of delicious dishes.

Whoever wants to sit down can sit down.

If you don’t like traditional banquet dishes, Yongchang Marquis Mansion also prepares hot pot and barbecue.

There is plenty of meat, vegetables, fruits and drinks.

If you want to grill skewers yourself, there are several sets of empty grilling tools in the corner of the garden.

The main theme of the entire banquet is that no matter your status, you can have fun and eat with peace of mind.

Mei Tang and Wei Muer'er liked this mode very much. They found a basket, put the food they wanted to eat in it, found a secluded corner and sat there.

Look up and you can enjoy the moon, look down and you can see delicious food, there are flowers around you and a beauty opposite you.

carefree!

Mei Tang drank the daughter's red wine happily.

Wei Muri looked around and felt that he could hardly see it all: "Mei Tang, this place is completely different from what I imagined."

Mei Tang was like a worm in her stomach, and laughed, "Is it that Kyoto is different, or is it that Duke Yun is different?"

Wei Mu Ri'er laughed and said, "They are all different. I thought Duke Yun was the kind of person who was powerful without being angry and who always kept his word. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understand."

I just feel that Duke Yun should be like a warrior on the battlefield, like a man, not like a woman.

At the banquet, Duke Yun had a smile on his face and his eyes were so loving as he looked at the three children.

When officials endured their nervousness and went to toast her, she could clearly remember everyone's name. Even if some officials spoke haltingly, she would look at them intently and wait patiently for them to finish speaking.

This focus and care makes everyone's heart feel warm as if it is soaking in a warm hot spring.

"Alas, the King of Xixia and Li Yuanhao won't do that." Wei Muri sighed.

She really wanted to know what Li Yuanhao, who was hiding in the shadow of the tree, was thinking at this moment.

Will he still insist on making Western Xia independent?
