Su Ci finally pushed the man away, her mouth was already hot and painful from being sucked by this guy.

She touched her mouth and glared: "Why are you like this?!"

Ever since they confirmed their relationship, they've been kissing and kissing at least seven or eight times. In his eyes, it's bullshit that engaged couples should maintain a proper distance.

Not once was it just a quick taste. This man's kiss was as strong as his body, which made her always worried that someone would find out after each kiss, which would be a social descent.

Su Ci quickly looked around. Fortunately, apart from the gatekeeper downstairs who didn't pay attention to the two people upstairs, she didn't see any other figures. She then retracted her gaze and rolled her eyes at him: "I remember we haven't gotten married yet, right?"

Kiss whenever you want, is that appropriate?

She protested.

Yang Yanzong: "It makes no difference." They were going to get married soon anyway.

He has experienced so many ups and downs, and he can do whatever he wants with his ability. Otherwise, why would he try so hard to climb up? Could it be that it is just to find rules to restrict yourself?

joke.

He sneered.

Su Ci understood immediately. Isn't this the thinking of the game rule makers? As the old saying goes, character determines destiny.

Tsk tsk, apart from anything else, this man is really dangerous and charming.

It has great charm and lethality, but I sincerely advise ordinary people not to even think about trying to control it.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing... ugh!"

The little girl was still panting a little, covering her lips. Under her green fingers was her little mouth, which had just been sucked red. Her face turned red, and she was slightly angry. Her big round eyes were wide open, with clear black and white, like a spring forest stained with mist, so lush and green that it seemed like water would drip out at any moment.

An early apricot blossom visits the spring palace, and the beauty of the whole garden cannot be contained; a pointed apricot blossom peeks out from the misty rain, looking young and charming. These two completely different and opposite styles and colors are strangely gathered on the young girl in front of you, but there is no sense of incongruity at all.

No one knew what she was thinking. Her pair of distinct black and white eyes rolled around, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She was as cunning as a fat cat stealing some fish, secretly savoring some secret that only she knew.

Yang Yanzong's eyes darkened, and he stared at her for a long while. He was dissatisfied, and he expressed his dissatisfaction directly. He tightened his arms that had just been loosened, pinched her chin, and raised his eyebrows: "What are you thinking about?"

Su Ci: "I didn't think anything."

She blinked her eyes and smiled, looking like a well-behaved model student. If only her eyes weren't so bright, she would have looked somewhat honest.

Yang Yanzong snorted softly and bit her cheek lightly. She finally let out a small cry, and then he held her lips tightly.

The result was that Su Ci covered her face. She was so worried that there would be a tooth mark on her face. She was even more unwilling to bite back. After a quarrel, she didn't even dare to sit on the railing. This height was too suitable for wall-dong. Bah, it was really not a good place.

She quickly jumped down and pulled Yang Yanzong down. They should just enjoy the moon. The most important thing was that there were people down there and it was safe.

Yang Yanzong was dragged by her to stroll around the bare little yard. The two guys guarding the gate looked straight ahead with serious faces, but Su Ci didn't know why she always felt that they were glancing over here from the corner of their eyes. Su Ci: "..."

Su Ci was about to move to the backyard when Yang Yanzong stopped her and said, "Go back."

He hugged her up to the second floor and sent her back to her room: "Go to bed early and rush back to Suiping tomorrow."

When Suiping was mentioned, his expression changed a little. The slight leisure disappeared, and his eyes became deep and solemn again.

It's time to go back.

Yang Yanzong curled his lips.

…

Yang Chongying's condition improved, and all the haze was swept away.

After all, Yang Yanzong and his party in Wuchuan won victory after victory and finally achieved the best expected result. It can also be expected that all the previous obstacles and difficulties in Suiping will be solved. Isn’t this worth being happy about?

Anyway, Su Ci was in a good mood, and so were the people around her.

Unlike when we came, when there was an impending storm, when we returned, we had a light boat ride.

The next day, we boarded a passenger ship heading north to Suiping. The ship sailed smoothly against the current for seven or eight days before arriving at the small private pier in Suiping where we came from.

There were many people waiting eagerly at the dock, including Su Di, Su Yan, and even Chen Su Rong. The two families had suffered hardships and were separated, but now they were safe and sound and finally met each other by surprise.

When Chen got the news, she brought her two girls to pick them up early. As soon as the boat docked, they saw the faces of both sides clearly. No matter whether they had a good relationship with each other in the past, or not, they couldn't help but burst into tears. They clenched their hands tightly and cried loudly, crying out all the fear that had accumulated before.

Su Di immediately went aboard to see his brother: "Brother, how is your injury?!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm much better."

Su Di and Yang Chongying were both very excited. They became sworn brothers when they were young and later joined the army together. Although their two families had shallow roots in the army, they had been together from the beginning. Over the years, their feelings had grown deeper and deeper, and they could be said to be real brothers.

When the stretcher was carried down, Mrs. Yan and Aunt Yan in front of the deck were already crying like tearful people. Aunt Yan was different from the Crown Prince. She was unaware that her only sister had been exiled to the border and her life or death was unknown. She was really worried and anxious every day. She asked the princess to come and pick her up today. The two sisters hugged each other and cried as soon as they met.

Amidst all the laughter and crying of the happy reunion, there was only one person who was not in a very good mood, and that person was Prince Ji Yan.

Aunt Yan cried for a while, and suddenly she noticed her son standing by the side without saying a word or moving. She looked up quickly, smiled and waved, "My lord, my lord, come and see your aunt Yan."

Yang Yanzong and Ji Yan's eyes moved slightly. One of them was standing at the edge of the dock in front of the deck, and the other was standing on the steps at the end of the platform. Across the noisy and complicated laughter and crying, their eyes moved and met each other.

Ji Yan laughed and showed a very happy expression - he did not come here for himself today, he was ordered by the Sixth Prince to come and welcome Yang Yanzong on behalf of the Sixth Prince.

When the news of Yang Yanzong's victory came, the Sixth Prince was discussing foreign affairs with his staff and the Crown Prince. Upon hearing the news, he slammed the table and said "good" three times in a row!

Ji Yan walked quickly over, and the crowd moved aside. He walked in front of the Yan sisters and Yang Yanzong and said, "Aunt Yan, are you okay?"

He bowed his head to greet Xiao Yanshi, then raised his head. No matter what he was thinking, he did not show it. He smiled and said to Yang Yanzong: "Shenxing, well done! Wuchuan's group is remarkable, even my father praised it."

"Since the Sixth Prince has come to welcome the meritorious minister, he must show enough concern and enthusiasm," he said with a smile, patting Yang Yanzong on the shoulder.

Yang Yanzong bowed in the direction of Suiping City and said, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to accept your praise."

He had a grateful look on his face, his tone was a little light but full of sincerity, and his performance was equally impeccable.

The palace staff that followed him laughed out loud: "Hey, Shen Xing is being too modest!"

"That's right, haha, Brother Yang, let's go quickly, the prince is still waiting."

Next, the two sides separated.

Su Ci followed the main force back to the camp and went home. As for Yang Yanzong, he and the prince and his entourage mounted their horses and immediately returned to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to report.

As expected, the Sixth Prince was waiting in the mansion.

The doors of the front hall of the palace were all open. The Sixth Prince was sitting upright in a silver-red robe with a blue edge and a dragon pattern. He had a purple gold crown on his head. He looked energetic and refreshed both physically and mentally!

This is the highest standard the palace sets for welcoming its own people who have returned victoriously! Yang Yanzong's move was a great success. Not only did the Sixth Prince's Mansion immediately extricate itself from the quagmire of colluding with Liu Ying brothers to illegally mine silver, it also changed its previous difficult situation where it was trapped in a disadvantageous position after a single defeat due to the joint pressure of the Fourth Prince's Mansion and the Seventh Prince's Mansion. The situation was reversed!

The prince walked in quickly with Yang Yanzong. Yang Yanzong brushed his hem and knelt on one knee. But before he knelt down, the Sixth Prince stood up from the top and walked down the stairs. He personally came down to help Yang Yanzong stand up: "Good, good, very good!"

He looked at Yang Yanzong, who had a handsome appearance, a straight back and a strong posture. The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he was. He praised him repeatedly and said, "Well done, Shenxing is indeed young and promising. This king is very lucky!"

The Sixth Prince's confidants and staff present also nodded and smiled, congratulating the Sixth Prince on having such a talented assistant.

Yang Yanzong cupped his hands and said, "It is all thanks to Your Majesty that I have entrusted you with this important task. I dare not take any credit for it."

"Well, merit is merit, so why shouldn't we take credit for it? Mistakes should be punished and merits should be rewarded, don't you agree?"

Everyone laughed: "That's right!"

"good!"

The Sixth Prince laughed and personally took Yang Yanzong with him. "Be careful. Come! We have a celebration banquet for you. Follow me!"

The official document of Yang Yanzong's reinstatement was officially issued a few days ago after being submitted to the cabinet for approval by the Ministry of Personnel. Since then, he has successfully entered the camp of the Six Kings' confidants, and the Qingfeng Baishun and other camps have also returned to his hands. In addition, even Su Di and Yang Chongying have been reinstated.

The most important thing is that the flowers are blooming and the fire is boiling.

Everything he planned was successful.

At a banquet, with glasses clinking, people with ability are looked up to everywhere. The Sixth Prince's former trusted aides raised their glasses with him frequently and had a very good conversation.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively. If there was only one person who was unsuspecting, it was probably the Crown Prince.

"Be careful!"

Ji Yan forced himself to smile. Yang Yanzong couldn't hold it back. His plan failed and he was bitten on the hand. However, he knew this not the day before. He was a shrewd man and had suppressed his emotions. At least there was no trace of it on his face now.

The prince understood that he should reconcile with Yang Yanzong at this time.

The other party is no longer in a position where he can be manipulated by him. The most important thing is that the other party has returned with great success and has attracted the attention of the whole mansion. As Yang Yanzong's cousin, no matter what conflicts they had before, it is most appropriate for him to resolve the past grievances.

"The situation in the court is changing, and it is hard to predict what will happen next. You and I are in it, and there will always be times when we are forced to do something. I hope you can understand."

Ji Yan hooked his arm around Yang Yanzong's shoulders, lowered his head slightly, and spoke these words in a very sincere manner that sounded like they were from the heart.

Yang Yanzong smiled. The prince bowed his head. He would certainly not be ungrateful. "Your Highness is right."

"I'm glad you understand. I'll host a small banquet tomorrow and we can have a good drink together, brothers."

"good!"

One of them bowed his head, and the other took over. As a result, the two of them put aside their grudges and made peace.

Of course, this is superficial.

Only the parties involved know what is going on inside.

They drank a lot at the banquet and both of them looked tipsy. The personal guards and soldiers beside them were ready to support them at any time. After reaching a consensus, the two of them were carried back by their respective personal followers, one on each side.

Yang Yanzong closed his eyes slightly, his face flushed with alcohol, but there was no sign of drunkenness in his eyes under his half-closed eyelids.

After turning around, he curled his lips slightly and sneered.

…

The Sixth Prince ordered people to prepare a carriage to take Yang Yanzong away, and also ordered his personal attendants to personally escort him to the gate until he got on the carriage.

The wheels rumbled, Yang Yanzong suppressed his smile, leaned back on the couch, and his body swayed rhythmically with the carriage.

Of course, this kind of celebratory banquet is of great significance and festive, but people inevitably wear various masks as they toast, and it is never as pure as a small banquet at home.

The banquet outside is over, and it’s a good time to have a small banquet when I get home.

Yang Yanzong was in a good mood and was not really drunk. He drank half a cup of hangover soup and changed out of his alcohol-stained clothes. When he returned home, he was clear-headed and not a trace of alcohol had been drunk.

Good times will come after bad times, and there will be a surprise reunion, and returning to the old place, it is natural and reasonable to have a reunion dinner.

After the two families returned home and settled Yang's father, they began to busy themselves with preparations. They had spent most of the day preparing and were just waiting for Yang Yanzong to come back for the banquet.

The extra couches in the small hall were removed and filled with a banquet table for two large and one small. Even Aunt Bai and the two concubines in Yang Chongying's room had a small table set up for them, which showed how happy the day was.

Everyone gathered together, eating melon seeds, drinking tea, chatting and laughing. Even Yang Chongying was in good condition. He asked someone to carry him out on a recliner, and leaned on a couch in the east hall with a soft pillow. He was talking to Su Di, and Yang Yanxin, Yang Yanzhen, Lin Yichu and others also chatted with him from time to time.

It was more lively on the women's side. Mrs. Yan and Aunt Yan's hands were clasped together and never separated. The sisters Su Ci and Su Yan also huddled in a corner, whispering and occasionally Su Yan's exclamations of surprise and envy could be heard. The two sisters whispered and laughed out loud.

When Chen went to relieve herself, she pushed Su Ci. Su Ci opened her eyes wide. Her mother looked at her disapprovingly, handed her a new teacup, and pointed at it: "Go, go and get your Aunt Yan a cup of hot tea."

Su Ci is a daughter-in-law and is about to get married. She still needs to do the appropriate things.

Su Ci had no choice but to take the teacup and got up to go over there.

She was very obedient and called out "Aunt Yang". She looked up and nodded. She smiled and changed the teacup on the table for her.

As for Aunt Yan, there was no need. She saw that her cup was still new. Su Ci put the tea tray aside and stood behind Yan with a smile.

This is the annoying thing about ancient times. Unmarried girls had no place to sit in front of their elders. They usually had to stand. For example, when Aunt Yan came, she and her sister just stood there the whole time.

However, Su Ci was not unacceptable to the job of serving tea. She thought that in modern times, people also respect their elders by pouring tea or serving them water. She often did it. This was Yang Yanzong's mother. Okay, if it wasn't too much, it would be okay to just stand guard and serve.

Yan smiled and nodded to take it, but Su Ci's action of putting down the tea tray made her smile fade a little.

——Even if Aunt Yan’s tea is new, it has been brought over, so it won’t be a big deal to just change it.

There is no point in finding fault with either statement, but from the former, we can see that Su Ci is still quite cheerful inside, and does not have the slightest fear of meeting her future mother-in-law.

Yan felt that she was being treated with contempt and was immediately unhappy. She had never liked the Su sisters. Su Yan was always making a fuss and clamoring for a son-in-law. When Yang's father discussed with her about deciding on the Su daughter to be the eldest daughter-in-law, she almost immediately jumped up and said that she would never accept Su Yan as a daughter-in-law under any circumstances.

Well, if not Su Yan, then let's choose Su Ci. But she didn't really like Su Ci. In the past, she was useless even after three sticks. Now she seems to be more lively. Unfortunately, Yan still didn't like her very much.

But unfortunately, Yang Chongying attached great importance to his eldest son's marriage and made all the decisions. He said that it was a discussion but in fact it was just a notification, and there was no room for her to express her opinion.

Yan's smile faded, and Su Ci saw it. Yan turned around and continued chatting with Aunt Yan. Nowadays, when younger generations serve their elders, they usually stand to show respect and humility, just like Su Rong on the other side.

Su Rong was pulled over by Aunt Yan to talk. She served tea and snacks, and made some jokes from time to time, which made Aunt Yan cover her mouth and giggle from time to time, and Yan also smiled.

Su Ci didn't say anything either. She just changed the tea when it was time to change it. When the maid brought snacks, she picked up a few small plates and put them over, standing guard quietly.

There’s no need to stand there for long. After all, it’s getting dark, and Yang Yanzong will be back soon, right? It's almost time for the banquet.

Sure enough, about a quarter of an hour later, there was the sound of wheels and horse hooves outside, and Yang Yanzong came back.

"Alright, alright, Dalang is back, let's start the banquet!"

There was constant laughter and everyone stood up. The women swept the table clean, then they all took their seats and the food began to be served.

Neither the Su nor the Yang families came from wealthy families, and they did not have the habit of keeping a large number of servants. Moreover, due to the unexpected events at the beginning of the year, all the original servants were dismissed. Now that he is back, Yang Yanzong is not willing to let anyone in easily. Now is a troubled time, and the people in the family have to be carefully screened before they dare to be allowed in. It is better to have nothing than to have something unqualified. It can never be too careful.

In addition to having personal soldiers, there is no shortage of people to do physical work such as sweeping the yard, chopping firewood, and fetching water, so the two families currently have two maids each, one is the cook, and the other is responsible for washing clothes, sweeping and tidying up.

There was a banquet at home today. When the banquet started, the kitchen was very busy and there was a shortage of staff, so the dishes were brought to the door by the personal soldiers and then served by the girls. There were three girls, just enough for one person to serve at one table.

After all the dishes were finally served, Su Rong poured wine and served tea to everyone. Su Ci thought for a moment, served tea to Yang Chongying, and another cup to Yan - as for Su Di and Chen, Su Yan and Su Rong served them.

Yan didn't tell her to go back and sit down, she just said "hmm". Su Ci blinked. Would this woman ask her to stand and continue to serve her?

It's too unrealistic. Su Ci saw from the corner of her eye that Su Di and Chen's eyebrows twitched slightly, but the couple still looked normal, while Yang's father's face darkened.

But before Father Yang could say anything, Yang Yanzong looked up at her and said, "Sit down."

"We are a family, so there is no need to be rigid."

He just ordered a table to be cleared. Father Yang and Su Di were sworn brothers, so there were some etiquettes for the two families to be together. He ordered a table to be cleared and the table to be carried out so that the personal soldiers could take turns to eat.

The two families sat together, and there were just two seats left next to Yang Yanzong - these two seats were originally occupied by Yang Yanxin and his brother, but before Yang Yanzhen sat down, he glanced around and pulled his second brother to sit on the other side.

Su Yan sat down next to Chen, and then only Su Rong and Su Ci were left. Su Ci blinked, and after Yang Yanzong said "sit" to her, everyone's eyes were on her. She walked to Yang Yanzong with her hands behind her back, sat down next to him, and smiled at him sideways.

Yang Yanzong nodded and said nothing.

His expression was still indifferent, and he did not show any intimacy towards Su Ci, but the change in his attitude was visible to everyone.

Yang Chongying was very satisfied. Su Di and Chen looked at each other and felt relieved. Yan was unhappy but didn't say anything.

"Well, although there were some ups and downs, it's finally over. As the saying goes, those who survive a disaster will have good fortune in the future. I'll use tea instead of wine to toast you all!"

This was a family dinner, and the sworn brother Yang Chongying was the eldest, so he gave the opening speech. His face was still very pale, but he was obviously in much better spirits. After he finished speaking, he drank the medicinal tea in the cup.

Everyone raised their glasses, picked up their chopsticks, and talked and laughed. Even Yan soon smiled.

Only Aunt Bai and Su Rong were stunned.

When Yang Yanzong looked at Su Ci and told her to "sit up", Su Rong's heart skipped a beat, and Aunt Bai's smile even became forced. After tensing for a few times, her expression still couldn't hold.
