Gu Nanxi was silent.
She could choose not to go to the Su family ancestral hall, but she couldn't make a decision for Su Xuanming.
"Let's talk about this later and see what Dalang thinks. Did you come here today just for this?"
Of course, there is more to it than this.
But Gu Nanxi didn't even agree to the simplest request, let alone the others.
The Su couple looked at each other, swallowed their resentment, and left together.
As soon as they left Yongchang Marquis' Mansion, Master Su gritted his teeth and said, "Humph, there is no one left in their Gu family. In the future, this kingdom will still fall into the hands of our Su family. You are called Dalang, so get closer to his brother. I don't believe that when Su Dalang or Su Erlang takes the throne, they will not want to recognize their ancestors!"
Gu Nanxi did not tell Su Xuanming about the Su couple's visit.
The summer days are long, and everyone eats, drinks, and plays until the moon rises high in the sky, then they disperse.
When Song Zhizhou and Tan Sanniang returned home, they saw their brat moving a bench and sitting in the yard, looking at them angrily.
"How can you be a parent? You eat and drink all you want, but you don't care about your children."
Song Zhizhou hurriedly coaxed: "I will definitely bring you with me to the next party."
"snort!"
Song Zhizhou: "My godmother heard that you are a good student and praised you."
When Song Xiaolang heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he couldn't suppress it anymore. He raised his chin high like a little adult.
"Dad, you are already old. In the future, you will have to rely on young people like us to do things for Duke Yun."
Tang Sanniang burst out laughing.
Song Zhizhou put his hands under his son's armpits, lifted him above his head, and sat him on his neck, saying with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, from now on, it's up to you to bring honor to our Song family!"
This little episode was repeated by Song Zhizhou to Su Xuanming in a tone that was half boastful and half mocking.
Su Xuanming has been promoted to centurion and no longer has to patrol the streets every day: "If you have nothing to do, come and give me a hand. Stop showing off here. You have a son."
Song Zhizhou finally had a day off from his busy schedule, so of course he refused to work again: "How am I showing off? I'm here to urge you to get married! Big brother, shouldn't you get married soon, have a few children, and have them to enjoy your company?"
It doesn’t matter whether the third generation is a boy or a girl. What’s important is that there must be a third generation so that the people below can feel at ease.
There have been waves of rumors in Kyoto recently. I don’t know where these evil winds came from, but they are all talking about the heir.
After all, there are only a few wise people in the world.
In the eyes of most people, getting married and having children is a complete life.
In the royal family, of course the more offspring the better.
Duke Yun is good in every way except for his offspring, which really makes people feel at ease.
Su Xuanming looked through the documents. Since he became a Jinyiwei, he truly felt how deep the undercurrents in Kyoto were.
In the past half month, the Jinyiwei arrested twelve spies.
Some were locals from Kyoto, some were merchants traveling from the south, and some were foreign merchants, with different identities.
"Ahh!" The prisoner's painful wail was heard in the cell.
Each cry was higher and higher in pitch and shrillness, giving Song Zhizhou goosebumps all over his body.
It was a sunny day, but Governor Song felt as if he was in an ice cave, shivering all over.
"This is?"
Su Xuanming said as if it was nothing new: "Yulang is interrogating a spy. He found a clue, and if he follows it, he will most likely catch a big fish."
"Oh..." Song Zhizhou felt uncomfortable all over, as if ants were crawling on his body, "Um, about the child..."
Su Xuanming put down the document in his hand, looked at Song Zhizhou, and said solemnly: "Ninth brother, someone is behind this matter.
Just enough.
Song Zhizhou nodded, chatted for a few more words, and then said goodbye.
"Ninth brother."
"Um?"
"It is a great blessing in life for a couple to love each other and stay together until old age. We should cherish it."
Song Zhizhou was puzzled: "Ah, I remember it, brother."
After leaving the Jinyiwei, Song Zhizhou was still thinking about what Su Xuanming said. What did he mean? It was weird.
When I opened the door, the house was quiet.
"Madam? Madam?"
The door of the main room was wide open. Tan Sanniang had a stern face and was holding the Yunzhou law book.
Song Xiaolang was lying on the table, drowsy. When he saw Song Zhizhou coming back, his eyes lit up and then he looked at him with an expression as if he was waiting for a good show.
Song Zhizhou paused and lowered his voice: "Madam, son? Have you had lunch?"
Tan Sanniang had a blank expression on her face: "If I don't eat, I'll be full of anger."
Song Zhizhou was shocked: "Who made you angry? The person involved in the case?"
"Oh!"
Song Zhizhou touched his arm and became even more panicked.
Song Xiaolang chirped, "Someone sent two beautiful ladies over here, saying they were hired from Jiangnan to be your beauties."
!!!
Song Zhizhou cried out: "Madam, I am innocent! I know nothing!"
Tan Sanniang said slowly, "I drove them away, you won't blame me, right?"
"Don't blame me, ma'am, you did a great job! Next time you encounter something like this, don't even open the door for them!"
Tan Sanniang was unhappy. Even though she knew that this was definitely not instructed by Governor Song, this matter was like a toad lying on her feet, which was disgusting enough.
"If you have any unfaithful thoughts, we will divorce."
Song Zhizhou leaned over and said softly, "I dare not! You don't have to do anything, my godmother will break my legs. I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone. Most of these women are skinny girls from Yangzhou. Where are they from? What's going on? Think about it!"
"Ah?" Tan Sanniang was shocked. "They are..."
"Yes! It's what you think!" Whether it is or not, at this moment, it must be!
Song Zhizhou's backyard almost caught fire, but Su Xuanming was ready to start a fire himself.
Grandpa Su lives in Tianjie, which is located between Zhouqiao and Zhuquemen. This is his newly purchased house, which is very large, with strange rocks and gardens, and it was expensive to build.
But Uncle Su bought this top-notch luxury house at a very low price, almost for free, just because his last name is Su and he is the eldest uncle of the three siblings of the Su family.
"Da Lang?" Uncle Su was stunned and hurriedly asked the servants to prepare a banquet, "Hurry up and prepare some delicious dishes! My nephew is here.
He smiled endlessly, like a kind elder: "Sit down. Is your work going well? Do you have a girl you like? If you encounter any difficulties, just speak up. We all have the blood of the Su family in our bodies, we are not outsiders."
The Su Mansion was filled with joy, and the servants walked with a breeze.
Madam Su raised her head and puffed out her chest, thinking to herself, "My husband is right. Blood ties are an unbreakable bond. My father's side is naturally closer than my mother's side."
Su Xuanming sat openly and said, "Uncle, you don't have to be polite. I won't eat here. I have something to tell you and then I'll leave."
Uncle Su raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter? No matter how important it is, you can leave after dinner, so that others won't say that I, as an uncle, am reluctant to give up a meal."
Su Xuanming chuckled: "I'm afraid you won't have an appetite after I finish talking."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Su Xuanming said casually: "I just want to inform you that I have changed my last name to my mother's. From now on, you can call me Gu Xuanming." (End of this chapter)
