Chapter 1154: The Queen's Poverty

Su Liheng was chubby. After taking off the bag on his back, he looked at Su Zifeng and said, "Dad, I'm your son. There are some things I shouldn't ask you, but I have to ask you. The main reason is that you, as a father, are ignorant!"

What a guy, he came back from a long journey, and when he entered the door, not only did he look like he was scolding his father, but he also said, "You are ignorant."

This made Su Wenqing almost spit out his tea.

And Su Zifeng's face turned a little worse.

However, the servants on the side looked at the audacious Fourth Young Master, and some of them turned around and called the Third Madam and the First Madam to come over.

Su Liheng continued, "Dad, tell me how big of a boss you are. Let's not talk about the big Qingya Restaurant. You also have so many Wenzhai restaurants, and the other restaurants you opened in Cangzhou near the capital. I can tell how much you make in a month just by counting on my fingers. How can you not make enough money? You have such a big stomach to eat so much money."

Su Zifeng remained silent, but glanced at the old man and found that the old man was smiling and looking like he was watching a show. He didn't know how to get angry, so he just looked at Su Liheng with a cold face.

Su Liheng saw his father's face and moved closer to his grandfather, but when he thought about the fact that he was right, he straightened his chest and became more confident: "Yes, I admit that you make a lot of money, but why are you so arrogant? And that money is a lot? Compared with what I make? The money you make is not as much as the new shops I opened in Jiangnan. Dad, when we do business, we can't be like you, who only cares about money. It's good to be money-minded, but you can't just stay there, right? And why are you clenching your fist? Hit me, come on, hit me, right here, you can kill me! I will say these words today even if you kill me."

Seeing this, Su Zifeng did not move. I want to see what kind of courage you have eaten!

Su Wenqing smiled happily and said nothing.

Su Liheng went on to say, "Dad, don't blame me for educating you. When we do business, what we fight for is our brains! You have no problem with your brain, otherwise you wouldn't have given birth to a son as smart as me. Above the brain, it's about being a human being! Being a human being includes how you treat your family. You have no problem being a human being. In terms of reputation among this group of businessmen in Beijing, you are one of the best. But you have problems with your family!"

When Su Liheng said this, Su Zhang and Su Liu came over from behind.

Su Zhang was supporting Su Liu and they just went to call this elder sister-in-law.

As a result, I heard the servants running over to say that the fourth young master had gone crazy and started scolding the third master as soon as he entered the room.

When both Su Zhang and Su Liu heard this, they thought they had heard it wrong. Even Su Qingning who was standing beside them was confused.

I rushed over and just heard what Su Liheng said.

Mrs. Su Zhang looked at Su Zifeng standing there with an unhappy expression on his face. She knew very well that her husband was about to deal with their son. She immediately took two steps forward to protect Su Liheng and glared at Su Zifeng.

When Su Liheng saw the two of them, he smiled foolishly at his mother, then looked at Su Liu and smiled happily.

Then he looked at his mother and said, "Mom, please sit there first. I haven't finished scolding my father yet."

After saying this, he helped his mother to sit down next to Su Liu, took his bag and glanced at Su Qingning.

Su Qingning looked at Su Liheng as if he were a fool. What was he thinking? Had his brain gone mad after the trip to the Western Regions? How dare he talk to his uncle like that?

Mrs. Su Liu looked at Su Liheng and said, "Liheng, are you okay?"

Su Liheng heard it and looked at his aunt: "What's wrong with me? I'm fine, but my father deserves to be scolded!"

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Su Zifeng: "Dad, just tell me whether I, as your son, should scold you."

Su Zifeng tried hard to suppress his anger, mainly because the old man was here and now his sister-in-law was here too, so he couldn't do anything. He had already kicked her anyway, what kind of bastard dared to talk to me like that?

And this is inexplicable. As a businessman or a human being, how can a son talk to his father like this?

Su Liheng continued, "Yes, given the current situation of our family, we should be a little arrogant. There is no other way. That's human nature. But you are too arrogant. You don't even care about your family members. You are obsessed with money. Do you think my grandfather is doing well now? Or do you think that my aunt and my mother are wearing gold and silver jewelry well? Or do you think that these two don't like those things, so you don't need to be nice to them?"

Su Liheng questioned, and looked at his mother and Su Liushi: "These two don't like those jewelry or anything like that, they are not so tacky, my aunt likes to be quiet, drink tea, sit there, do housework and read books, my mother likes to take care of those flowers and plants, why, just because of this, you are reluctant to spend money, my sister..."

As he said that, he pulled Su Qingning to his side.

Su Qingning was stunned for a moment, and quickly hid behind Su Zhang and Su Liu, looked at Su Zifeng and shook her head, as if to say that it had nothing to do with her!

Su Liheng said: "My sister is such a big person, and she spends money all day long... Oh! I can't say it, so why don't you spend money on her? Dad, don't blame your son for saying anything to you. I also love money, from the bottom of my heart, but we can't just love money and not love our family. No matter how much I like money, I don't save a single word when I spend it on my family. How much should I spend? What about you? You just put it in your own trouser pocket and don't take it out!"

Everyone looked at Su Liheng.

Su Liu scolded in a low voice: "Liheng, what are you talking about your father? When has your father not given money to the family?"

Su Liheng turned around and looked at Su Liushi: "Aunt, you don't know, there are some things, just like what my father did, I was so shocked when I heard it! Otherwise, how could I leave Youli and run back first? We have to do this today."

Su Liu was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Liheng in confusion.

Su Zhang, who was standing by, was about to say something, but when she heard this, she looked at Su Zifeng strangely, only to find that her husband also had a strange expression on his face.

Su Wenqing narrowed his eyes slightly. He originally just thought it was fun, but now, Su Zifeng, you have come to this day?

But after hearing this, I became curious.

Li Heng is not the kind of person who would do something like this on purpose.

Su Zifeng looked at Su Liheng: "Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Su Liheng frowned and pointed at himself: "I'm talking nonsense!? Xun Siye and my teacher Li Xiangye both know about this matter, and Xun Siye couldn't say anything to the public, so he asked Li Xiangye to help solve this matter, but my teacher couldn't come forward, after all, his status was a hindrance, so he told me about this matter specifically."

Upon hearing that Xun Kuang and Li Jiulang were involved, Su Liu and Su Zhang looked at each other and then looked towards the old man.

Su Wenqing's expression remained unchanged, he just looked at Su Liheng.

Su Qingning's eyes flickered. She looked at Su Zifeng, then at Su Zhangshi. Her expression was stunned, and at the same time, she suddenly had an idea, as if she had thought of something.

The servants outside had already retreated. Although they could still hear it, they did not dare to gather around and watch directly.

“What’s going on?”

At this time, Su Zimu's voice reached everyone's ears.

Turning around, he saw Su Zimu and Shi Tuo walking in.

Shi Tuo is now dressed in the clothes of a Daxia person, seemingly for the convenience of walking.

When Su Zimu saw Su Liheng, he was stunned. Has this kid gained weight again after going out?

But when he saw the atmosphere in the lobby, he couldn't help but frown.

When Su Liheng saw Su Zimu, he glanced at Shi Tuo again, wondering who it was, but he didn't think too much about it and immediately saluted: "Uncle, I'm just scolding my father. This matter is very important. Let's talk about other things later."

Su Zimu's eyes became strange. Scolding your own father?

Shi Tuo narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Liheng.

Su Liheng didn't know him, but he had seen Su Liheng.

However, when he heard his son scolding his father, Shi Tuo frowned slightly but did not say anything.

Su Wenqing saw Shi Tuo stand up.

But Su Liheng didn't care about this, and continued to look at Su Zifeng: "Who is Xun Siye? Dad, he didn't even look for you, but went directly to find Prime Minister Li to find a solution. You say, he is too embarrassed to look for you. You say you did this! When my teacher told me about this today, I was embarrassed! Why can't you spend some money on your family? What do you keep the money for? And what does your expression mean now? Don't pretend, okay? And don't worry, I will pretend that you don't know, and I also asked my teacher to hide this matter and not tell anyone. Anyway, you don't know what you keep the money for."

Su Liheng became more and more excited as he spoke, but as he spoke, he saw his uncle and the old man walk in, thinking that they were also guests, so he bowed immediately.

Then he looked at his father again and said, "Family disgrace should not be made public. I won't say much since this old gentleman is here. Anyway, as a son, I am ashamed for you! But I am your son. I have no choice. If you don't solve this problem, I will solve it for you."

After saying that, he looked at Shi Tuo and bowed, "Old sir, my father embarrassed you. I, as his son, would like to apologize to you on his behalf."

"You little bastard! What nonsense are you talking about!" Su Zifeng couldn't bear it anymore. While glancing at Shi Tuo, he continued to suppress his anger.

If you say that you are really wrong, that's fine, but this is weird and it even involves Xun Kuang and Li Jiulang.

Su Qingning whispered in Su Liushi's ear: "Aunt, is Third Uncle keeping a mistress outside? Xun Siye asked Li Xiangye for help, so no matter how you think about it, it must be related to the Flower Street."

The voice was actually very small.

But it was just what Su Qingning considered small.

But in fact, everyone could hear it clearly.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhang immediately looked at Su Zifeng with a look of surprise.

Su Wenqing's expression remained unchanged. He just asked Shi Tuo to sit down and looked at him with a smile.

Shi Tuo understood what Su Wenqing meant, but didn't say anything. He just looked at Su Liheng.

"Qingning!" Su Zifeng looked at Su Qingning.

Su Qingning covered her mouth in fear.

Su Liheng also frowned and looked at Su Qingning: "Sister, what are you talking about? My father is a good person! He didn't find any women outside. He couldn't do such a thing, and no woman was willing to be with him. You don't know not to talk nonsense, but what he did is more serious than keeping a woman outside!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Su Zifeng again.

Is it more serious than keeping a mistress outside?

Su Zifeng said, "Tell me what happened clearly. Xun Kuang will go to Li Jiulang to solve whatever I did!"

Su Liheng glanced at Shi Tuo and then at Su Zifeng: "Are you still asking me? Oh, Dad, look at you, you are not afraid of being laughed at by this old gentleman, but I am! I won't say any more, it's boring, anyway, I have said everything I need to say, you should reflect on yourself, I have to go pick up You Li, and all the things I brought for you are in the back."

But after saying that, Su Liheng looked at Su Zifeng and emphasized: "I won't give away the things I give you to anyone else! You are such a disappointment to me as a father!"

After saying that, he bowed to Su Wenqing and the others, "Master, I'll go pick them up first. If you're too angry when you find out about this, come over and scold them. Otherwise, when Youli's grandpa, parents come later, we won't be able to scold them. Her family values ​​filial piety very much."

After these words were spoken, Su Liushi, Su Zimu and others nearby naturally knew Shi Tuo's identity. They immediately looked at Shi Tuo and then at Su Liheng.

This is a weird thing, and the kid said something like this.

You said this.

Among them, Su Liu and Su Zhang looked at the stone rubbing with some concern.

But seeing this legendary Grand Master of the End, he was sitting there looking at Su Liheng with a calm expression.

But he looked at Su Zifeng again.

Because what the hell is going on.

Su Wenqing was much calmer. He smiled and looked at Su Liheng: "Don't worry, You Li knows the way, and there are people around him. But you scolded your father for so long, but you didn't say what happened."

Su Liheng curled his lips and glanced at Shi Tuo.

Su Wenqing said, "It's okay, just say it. You cursed in front of so many people, so it's not a secret. If your father really did something shameful, it's because he's afraid of outsiders knowing, not us."

Su Liheng pursed his lips. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he raised his eyes to look at his grandfather: "Grandpa, I'd better go pick up You Li first. She's embarrassed to come here. I have to help her."

However, when Su Liheng said this, he saw a servant running over in a hurry.

"Old Master, someone has come from the palace. The Empress and Queen have sent someone."

Hearing the servant's words, Su Wenqing stood up.

Naturally, Shi Tuo did not dare to be arrogant.

The people who came were Lu Cai, Xun Xia, and Zhou Qian and two other people from the Chixia Army.

Seeing Lu Cai and Xun Xia, Su Wenqing hurried forward: "Lu Diao Si, Master Xun Xia."

Lu Cai and Xun Xia were terrified and hurriedly greeted Su Wenqing, Su Zimu and others.

Lu Cai noticed Shi Tuo, and was stunned, then he clasped his fists to greet him.

Xuan Xia said straight to the point: "Grandmaster, the queen knew that Master Li Heng would be back today, so she specially asked me and Lu Cai to bring some things over."

Upon hearing this, Su Wenqing and others hurriedly saluted.

However, he was stopped by Xuan Xia: "The Queen has specifically instructed that it is not an oral instruction, but just a message, so there is no need to greet her."

Su Wenqing heard it, smiled and nodded, then looked at the two boxes that Zhou Qianhong brought forward.

Xuan Xia said, "The queen knows that Master Li Heng likes these, so she made these specially. There are other things here that you, the Grand Master, and the Madam, the master, and the Third Master, the Third Madam and others like. And this is specially made for Miss Youli and her parents and grandfather. These are some things made by the queen, and they are also specially for the family. The queen said that it is not convenient for her to come today, don't blame her. And let me give you this."

As he spoke, Xun Xia handed the paper to Su Wenqing.

Su Wenqing smiled helplessly. How could he blame anyone? Besides, the eldest girl should not have come today. Otherwise, would the people in Youli's family dare to disagree with Youli and Liheng's relationship?

I opened the paper while thinking about it.

"Master, tell Shi Tuo and the others clearly that whether they like Li Heng or not doesn't need to depend on what I am doing."

Su Wenqing smiled after seeing this.

On the other hand, Su Liheng looked at the big braised pig's trotter, and his chubby face twisted into a ball: "My sister is already in such a bad state, why is she spending all this money on me?"

Lu Cai, Xun Xia and others were puzzled for a moment. They didn't understand what Su Liheng meant. What happened to the Queen?

However, Lu Cai stepped forward and bowed to Su Zifeng and asked, "Master Su, the Queen asked me to ask you how the activity went. If the effect is good, we can move on to the next round."

Su Zifeng did not dare to be arrogant. After all, Lu Cai and Xun Xia were Su Changan's personal eunuch and court lady. So he bowed and said, "Excellent! The profit has increased several times, and I have also started to prepare some things for the next round."

Lu Cai nodded and said nothing more.

Su Liheng heard it and turned to look at Su Zifeng: "Big sister is still giving you advice?"

Su Zifeng glanced at Su Liheng and didn't want to pay any attention to this little bastard who deserved to be punished.

Su Liheng was anxious, "Su Zifeng! Look at how big sister treats you! And how do you treat big sister! Big sister gave all the money to the ladies and the families of the meritorious officials! She herself has no money and has to grow crops and vegetables in the palace, eating coarse food to save money, and she still sends these to us, and you! You let big sister help you, and when you make money, you send the money to the palace. It's fine if you, as a father, have disgraced me, but you have disgraced our entire Su family!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Su Liheng.

Including Lu Cai and Xun Xia.

It is true that the queen grows crops and vegetables, but does she eat bran and vegetables?

When I came out, the queen was squatting in the yard grilling fish and mutton.

Su Liu stepped forward and grabbed Su Liheng: "Liheng, what happened to your elder sister?"

Su Liheng glared at Su Zifeng, then looked at Su Liushi: "Aunt, don't worry, it's nothing, it's just that my elder sister used all her own expenses as separate rewards and sent them to the families of the border guards. She said that she had spent a lot of money and didn't have much money, but she didn't want to blame the palace people, so she and His Majesty lived frugally and even reclaimed land in the palace to grow vegetables and so on."

Upon hearing this, Su Liu was stunned for a moment and then looked at Lu Cai and Xun Xia.

Lu Cai blinked, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He always felt something was wrong, but what he said was true, so he looked at Xun Xia.

After thinking about it, Xia felt that what he said was wrong, very wrong!

But there was nothing wrong with it, because the Queen did say that she had no money, and she also told His Majesty to live frugally. And the expenses of Lingqi Pavilion this month were indeed used for the banquet for the ladies of honor, and they were also rewarded with many things to give to their families.

But when these words came out of Young Master Li Heng's mouth, it didn't feel right.

But after thinking about it, he nodded: "It is true, but the queen would not say that she has no food to eat and has to eat coarse food."

Su Liheng said, "It's just to emphasize that big sister has no money, and to let a certain Su, my father, hear it! You make so much money, why don't you give it to big sister in the palace. Look at what she has prepared for us, what about you! Dad, people can't be like this, think about what big sister is doing now, maybe she is starving while thinking whether these things are to our taste!"

Xuan Xia said, "Your Majesty, no."

But just as he opened his mouth, Xunxia noticed that the old master looked at him and shook his head slightly, so he stopped talking.

The old master had a smile on his face, as if he understood something and seemed to be in a playful mood.

…

In the corridor outside Lingqi Pavilion, Su Changan squatted beside the fire, holding grilled fish and lamb in his hands. While grilling, he looked at Xia Fengxiang who was sitting beside him and said, "Wife, is it too salty?"

Xia Fengxiang shook his head: "Not bad."

Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said, "You made so much money that day, so you don't want the eighteen taels anymore?"

Su Changan looked at the fire: "Not really, I was mainly thinking about how to get some money from Li Heng."
