Su Xuanming really didn't spoil Mrs. Chen: "Do you want to go home now, or should I send someone to find Mr. Chen and ask him to take you home?"
Mrs. Chen stopped crying and looked at Su Xuanming in disbelief.
Su Xuanming's face was serious and he was not joking at the moment.
Madam Chen stammered, "I am Shuyao's mother, how could you do this to me?"
Su Xuanming said coldly: "If you really care about your daughter, you shouldn't come here. Have you asked for Mr. Chen's consent for this matter?"
Of course not. If the old man at home knew about this, he would definitely lock myself up.
Su Xuanming sighed slightly: "Mrs. Chen, please save some dignity for yourself and your family."
After saying this, Su Xuanming went back home without looking back.
I could smell the aroma of barbecue before I even entered the yard.
Su Xuanming put on a smiling face, walked into the yard and patted Song Zhizhou on the shoulder as if nothing had happened.
"Ninth brother, your cooking skills are quite good! Let me try."
Song Zhizhou looked up and glanced at Su Xuanming, only to find that he was a little different from usual.
If I have to say specifically what is different, it is probably like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. The person gets rid of confusion and timidity and becomes resolute and courageous again.
Song Zhizhou took a step to the side to make room for Su Xuanming and complained: "Brother, can you do this? The world is big, but eating is the most important thing. Even if you are my eldest brother, I won't eat the skewers if they are not delicious."
Su Xuanming laughed heartily: "Whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. How can you know if it works if you don't try it?"
Song Zhizhou chuckled, glanced at his godmother who was lazing around in the house, and knew what he was doing: "Okay, you can give it a try. As long as you don't burn the yard, the brothers will support you."
The two seemed to be talking about skewers, but it also seemed like they were not just talking about skewers.
Tan Sanniang heard the conversation outside the yard and asked loudly, "When will the skewers be ready?"
“Almost there! Almost there!”
The yard is bustling with activity.
The servants were helping Song Zhizhou and Su Xuanming. The skewers were not ready yet, but the servants were being ordered around in circles.
Looking at this scene, Gu Nanxi just smiled and ate, and refused to start grilling.
Perhaps God couldn't stand Gu Nanxi's leisure, so on such a good day, a group of uninvited guests showed up.
Lumei stood at the gate of the yard, hesitated for a moment, and then walked in to report: "Master, Master Su is here."
Uncle Su?
who?
There was a flash of confusion in Gu Nanxi's eyes.
Lu Mei coughed twice and reminded quietly: "It's the eldest brother of the former Yongchang Marquis."
He is also Gu Nanxi's nominal uncle.
Gu Nanxi...
She almost forgot that she was a widow. After the death of Yongchang Hou, did she still need to keep in touch with the Su family?
Gu Nanxi glanced at Su Xuanming who was grilling skewers outside.
From the perspective of etiquette and law, the three siblings of the Su family are all members of the Su family and are included in the Su family's genealogy.
To outsiders, the Su family and the three siblings are one.
Gu Nanxi lowered her eyes: "Tell them to wait in the hall."
The hall is a place used to entertain outsiders.
Normally, a relative like Uncle Su should be invited to the lobby for reception.
Grandpa Su sat in the familiar hall, his butt wiggling back and forth as if there were nails on the stool.
Madam Su glared at him and said unhappily, "Momentum! You are the patriarch of the Su family now, you need to show your momentum!"
Uncle Su had a bitter face and said, "Please, who dares to be powerful in front of that vicious woman?"
"How about we just forget it?"
"Are you crazy? This is half of the empire! Since your ancestors, your Su family has never conquered such a large territory. If your ancestors knew that you gave up such a large empire, they would be so angry that they would jump out of their graves."
Duke Yun is bound to ascend the throne and become emperor.
But who is the royal orthodoxy? Is the royal family surnamed Su or Gu?
This is a bigger matter than the sky.
If the national surname is Su, then the entire Su family is royal family, and Uncle Su, the elder of the Su family, is the head of the royal family!
What a huge power this is! This is a golden rice bowl made of gold!
This is a great thing that will benefit future generations!
Madam Su glanced outside the house and saw no one. She whispered, "Who am I doing this for? It's for your useless son and grandson. Don't you think about what will happen to our Su family if the country's surname is Gu?"
Uncle Su quickly covered Madam Su's mouth and warned her, "Are you going to die? How dare you say anything outside! Just keep it in mind."
The two of them drank a bellyful of cold tea in the hall, and finally saw Gu Nanxi who had arrived late.
Gu Nanxi was quite conflicted. She didn't want to give these two people too much face, but for the sake of the three siblings of the Su family, she couldn't embarrass them too much. She felt like she was hitting a rat with a stick.
"What brings you two here?"
Grandpa Su smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits: "Sister-in-law, your family has been in Yunzhou for many years and has not been back for a long time. Now that you are back, when would it be convenient for you to go to our ancestral hall to burn incense and tell our ancestors that you have returned safely?"
Sister-in-law?
Gu Nanxi was stunned by this address. Did she divorce Yongchang Hou? Why did she remember arguing about separation?
Judging from the divorce process, they did not go through all the procedures.
Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Uncle Su calling himself his brother's wife, but it just sounds offensive.
Gu Nanxi was deeply resistant to the thought of going to the Su family ancestral hall to kneel down and pay homage to the old lady and Marquis Yongchang.
"I won't go. When I worship my ancestors in the future, I will worship the ancestors of our Gu family."
Mrs. Su was anxious: "How can this be possible? You married into our Su family. You are a member of our Su family in life and a ghost of our Su family in death. How can a married woman worship her ancestors instead of worshipping her husband's family's ancestors?"
Gu Nanxi knew what the two were up to, and didn't give them any room for imagination: "It's okay, this is the rule starting from me."
Mrs. Su had a heart attack due to choking. Isn't this just being a rogue?
Uncle Su advised earnestly: "How can this be justified? Doing this will not stop the world from complaining."
Gu Nanxi: "I'm not afraid of what people say."
She just didn't believe that anyone would dare to say that to her.
"This is so bad! If General Gu knew about this, he would be upset."
Gu Nanxi: "I burned paper and asked, my father has no objection. This is a great thing for the family tree to be opened separately, the ancestors of the Gu family will have to praise me."
Mrs. Su was indignant: "How can this be possible?! It has always been the husband who sings and the wife follows, how can it be like you..."
Gu Nanxi tilted her head and said in distress, "I can't do anything about it. Maybe one day, I will marry two, three, four, five, six times, and I won't be able to pay homage to my ancestors. So, I'll just pay homage to our Gu family. If any son sees me, he can pay homage to the Gu family if he wants."
Two, three, four, five, six times...
Hearing this, the old man's eyes went dark, and he said tremblingly: "If you don't want to worship, then don't worship. You can't stop Dalang from worshipping, right?"
