Chapter 133: Welcoming You at the Gate
Fu Qingyin noticed the prince's gaze and emotions, and smiled but remained unmoved.
As soon as the prince left, the emperor snorted: "Su Huaiyuan seemed a little disappointed, and he didn't mention anything about military achievements."
"It seems that the prince has already informed him."
Fu Qingyin nodded slowly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also trying to share your concerns. Perhaps Su Huaiyuan doesn't know. If you speak rashly, it will be difficult for you."
The emperor snorted and laughed: "Why should I be in trouble? As a military commander, it is my duty to guard the border and resist foreign enemies!"
"I have given him military pay and rations and have never treated him harshly. He deserves to win."
The emperor's eyes darkened slightly, and his tone became colder: "It is impossible for me to feed another wolf like Nan Shun."
"With a true dragon like you, Your Majesty, you are just a wolf and a clown."
The emperor was startled and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You are the only one who can talk, never mind, Su Huaiyuan has made contributions after all, I will reserve a good position for him when the time comes."
Fu Qingyin nodded: "Then will the emperor send another decree to the Su family? So that everyone in the mansion will know about the emperor's grace, so that they don't have to attend the banquet and get the seat they deserve."
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Come here, draft an order."
…
Yu Shengsheng was talking to Nanny Zhou in the corridor when Jin Baobao ran in from outside.
"Miss, General Su is back home and will be at the door soon. Let's go and watch the fun."
Yu Shengsheng was inexplicably nervous: "Let's go and take a look."
They were considered late, and by the time they reached the door, most of the other members of the Su family had already arrived.
Su Dingqin was slightly dissatisfied when she saw her coming: "Father is coming home, it's such a big thing, and you can come late."
Yu Shengsheng said calmly: "If the young general could have sent a servant to inform me, I wouldn't have been so late. If Baobao hadn't told me, I wouldn't have even known about it."
Su Dingqin was stunned: "Didn't anyone notify you?"
He looked at the other members of the Su family.
Su Yanshu and Su Zhiyi looked at each other and said, "I thought mother would say it."
Mrs. Su's face flushed: "I'm in the kitchen. I came from the kitchen."
Su Huaishan snorted coldly and said nothing.
The old lady frowned and said, "Okay, it's a happy thing, why do you have to talk about something unhappy?"
Everyone stopped talking and looked at the intersection expectantly.
Waited for a quarter of an hour.
Su Huaishan muttered: "It shouldn't be like this. I just got the news that my eldest brother has left the palace. He should have arrived home from the palace gate."
The old lady was also puzzled: "Someone, go..."
"Here it comes!" Mrs. Su shouted happily.
Yu Shengsheng also looked up and saw a group of people turning in at the intersection.
The leader was riding a big brown horse. He was of great stature and held the reins with one hand. He looked very imposing from a distance.
Behind him followed a group of cavalrymen, marching in neat and orderly formation, with the sound of horse hooves and the sound of dust being stirred up.
The Su family was very excited. Mrs. Su wiped her tears with a handkerchief and could not help waving her hand.
Yu Shengsheng felt a little sad. That was her father. The first thing he did after receiving military merit was to change her to the position of princess.
Su Huaiyuan also saw his family members standing at the door, but he did not urge his horse to come forward immediately. He rode at his usual pace, neither fast nor slow.
He got off his horse and walked in front of the old lady, tapping the ground with one leg: "Mother, I greet you."
The old lady quickly helped him up: "Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back."
Su Huaishan grinned: "Brother!"
They had not been apart for long. Su Huaiyuan nodded and patted his shoulder.
Mrs. Su wiped her tears and walked forward with her children.
"Husband..."
Mrs. Su had a lot to say, but tears started to flow before she could say a word. All her longing and grievances turned into tears at this moment, and she wanted to pour them out for her husband to see.
The three siblings Su Dingqin also came over to pay their respects.
"Father……"
Before he finished speaking, the cavalrymen behind Su Huaiyuan dismounted, and the last carriage slowly stopped.
Yu Shengsheng, who was standing behind the three siblings, was wondering where the carriage came from.
The Su family also saw it and were equally puzzled.
Su Huaiyuan rode a horse all the way back to Beijing, so how could there be a carriage?
Mrs. Su changed her mind and thought that maybe it was because she was going back to Beijing to live for a long time and she brought too many things with her and couldn't put them all away, so she used a carriage to move them.
As soon as the thought came to my mind, a bare hand reached out from inside the car and lifted the curtain.
Like a slap in the face, it slapped back her previous thoughts.
Su Huaiyuan turned around, hurried to the carriage, and lifted the curtain himself.
"Slow down."
Everyone was silent, staring at the woman who came out of the car.
She looked to be about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. Her skin was not very fair and smooth, but a healthy honey color. Her hair was tied up, revealing her forehead and thick, handsome eyebrows. She had double-eyes that were slightly long and a little sharp.
Her lips were bloodless and there was a small red mole on her chin.
She was wearing a crimson purple outfit and black satin boots with slightly curled toes, which made her look pretty and playful.
Gallant and heroic.
She is not quite the same as the Su Zhiyi of the past. Su Zhiyi was a little naive, but she is not.
Calm and much more mature.
Jin Baobao's eyes rolled, the fire of gossip burning in his heart. He looked at Madam Su for a while, then at the old lady.
Madam Su spoke first: "Who is she?"
Su Huaiyuan said calmly: "She is Ruan Jing, the sister of my good brother Ruan Lang. Ruan Lang died in this battle to save me. Before he died, he entrusted Jing'er to me."
Madam Su's eyes widened: "Entrust? How do you entrust?"
Ruan Jing looked at Madam Su calmly: "This is my sister-in-law, right? My brother entrusted me to Brother Su, and I hope you can understand and fulfill my brother's last wish before he died. You can't agree to something for a dead person and then not keep it."
Madam Su: "...What are you talking about? How can you not keep my promise?"
Yu Shengsheng glanced at Mrs. Su and realized that they were arguing on the wrong topic.
She sighed secretly and looked at Su Huaiyuan again. The previous nervousness and anticipation had quietly faded away.
Suddenly I felt it was boring.
Yu Shengsheng looked at Ruan Jing. This woman's surname was Ruan, but she didn't look soft at all.
Su Huaiyuan frowned, "Madam, be careful with your words! Ruan Lang died to save me. This was the only request he made before he died. How could I ignore it? Besides, Ruan Jing is his only sister. Even if he doesn't say anything, I should take care of her."
"Take care of it. How do you take care of it?" Mrs. Su asked, "Speak clearly."
Su Huaiyuan looked around and said, "Let's go home first. It won't be clear for a while."
He raised his eyes and saw Yu Shengsheng behind him.
After not seeing her for more than two years, she has grown taller and looks better. She is no longer like when she first came. She is now more stable and silent.
"Shengsheng," he said, waving his hand, "Come here."
Yu Shengsheng didn't expect that he would call her first. Under the gaze of everyone, she walked up to him and bowed.
Su Huaiyuan smiled lightly: "Now that she has grown up, Aunt Jing is just like you, a helpless person. Let's give her a home so that she can have a family, okay?"
Before Yu Shengsheng could answer, Ruan Jing smiled and said, "I'm not much older than Shengsheng, just call me sister."
Yu Shengsheng felt a little confused. She seemed to be very familiar with her and not unfamiliar at all.
why is that?
