Chapter 431: The Blessings Are Too Strong to Be Suppressed
Thus, the position of "Marquis' Lady" in Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, which symbolizes the honor of the mistress, has remained vacant.
Su Muyang treated his ten sons equally, providing them with fine clothes, delicious food, and the best of everything.
With these ten lively and strong grandsons to take care of them, Qi Yao and Su Zhanyue had long given up the idea of urging their sons to get married properly.
Moreover, they also knew very well that there were already ten illegitimate sons in the mansion. Which noble lady would dare to marry in and become the stepmother?
You're getting yourself into trouble for no reason.
Now, the old couple’s biggest wish is to have a beautiful granddaughter!
Rumor has long been circulating in the mansion: Among the concubines, whoever can come out on top and give birth to the first daughter of the Marquis's mansion will be the future mistress of the house!
This position is offered as a reward to the first "Pearl" of the Su family.
Regarding this, Su Muyang himself still looked indifferent.
When he was in the mood, he would parade through the city with a long group of sons wearing the same "uniform".
Or they would swagger into the palace and take a "stroll".
Whenever seeing the spectacular scene of "Ten Sons Traveling", I wonder how many noble families who have difficulty in having children and are eager to have children will be envious.
When discussing privately, everyone exclaimed with sour surprise:
"Look at the Marquis of Pingnan... that's what we call talent! He only gives birth to sons! His blessings are so abundant that they can't be contained!"
Inside the imperial study, Yan Shixu watched as a group of little kids, almost identical in appearance, rushed in, clinging to his thighs, shouting "Uncle Emperor" one after another...
He only felt the veins on his forehead throbbing slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He held his forehead helplessly.
Ever since Su Muyang's ten sons were born, Yan Shixu tragically discovered that he suffered from severe "face blindness" -
Looking at these ten little guys who were dressed exactly the same and had similar features, he had no idea who was who!
"Ahem."
Yan Shixu cleared his throat and lowered his voice to ask Su Muyang, who was standing next to him with a smug look on his face.
"Who is your eldest child?"
Half a month ago, he promised to make a small bow and arrow suitable for children for this child, and it happened to be completed and delivered today.
But at this moment, I was troubled by this group of little kids.
When Su Muyang heard this, the smugness on his face froze instantly.
He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his forehead, revealing an embarrassed expression of "Wait a minute, let me figure it out carefully."
He narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze moving back and forth among his sons, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
After a while, he simply gave up trying to identify it, and with all his might, he shouted, "Dabao, step out!"
Among the group of children, a little boy walked out slowly with his hands behind his back and a look that was obviously calmer than the other children.
He rolled his eyes speechlessly at the two elders and said crisply, "Uncle Huang, Father, Dabao is here...!"
There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, as if to say, "You adults have really poor eyesight."
Su Muyang felt a little embarrassed by his son's look. To hide his embarrassment at not being able to recognize him, he raised his voice even higher and pointed at the brocade box in Yongtai's hand:
"See? This is the bow and arrow your uncle specially made for you! What are you still standing there for? Why don't you thank him now?"
Dabao then straightened his expression, walked forward politely, lifted up the corner of his robe, knelt down and kowtowed in a proper manner:
"Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your grace!"
Yan Shixu looked at the serious look on the little fellow's face, the smile in his eyes deepened, and he gestured to Yongtai to present the bow and arrow.
It was an extremely delicate small bow made of golden nanmu wood, equipped with three specially made small arrowheads without arrowheads.
The bow is polished to be smooth and round, making it perfect for four-year-old children to practice arm strength and play.
As for the other nine children, Yan Shixu had already made preparations.
"Yongtai, bring all the other stuff."
Yongtai quickly ordered the young eunuchs to bring out the exquisite toys that the emperor had specially prepared for the children.
"Wow! Thank you, Uncle Huang!"
"I want this wooden horse!"
"This tiger is so majestic!"
“…”
The children cheered instantly when they received the gifts.
In an instant, the imperial study became a noisy market, and the chattering and laughter almost overturned the glazed tiles on the roof of the hall.
Yan Shixu was overwhelmed by the noise and was about to order the eunuchs to call a few princes and princesses to take these energetic little ones out for some fresh air.
Before the order was uttered, a burst of clear, loud and energetic shouts came from outside the hall.
From far to near, with a vigorous momentum:
"Big Treasure! Second Treasure! Third Treasure! Fourth Treasure! ...Tenth Treasure! Are you all in there? Come out quickly! I'm going to take you to the stables to play with the new foals~~~!"
The owner of the voice had not yet appeared, but the children in the hall screamed excitedly as if they had heard the highest order, and rushed towards the hall door like a whirlwind.
"It's Sister Zhao Zhao!"
"Go to the stables! See the ponies!"
"Wait for me!"
In the blink of an eye, a group of children surrounded a little girl in a bright red riding suit with lively eyes and ran away laughing.
It is strange to say that this princess, who is born into a wealthy family, is actually a "king of children".
With her around, even the most chaotic situation can calm down in an instant.
Peace finally returned to the hall.
Yan Shixu glanced at Su Muyang, a little surprised: "Why didn't Yun Zhen bring the child into the palace with you today?"
When he asked this, Su Muyang smiled maliciously.
"He went to my place yesterday to drink some wine, and on his way home he saved a good girl who was being bullied by a bully."
"The girl secretly followed him to the Luo residence and knelt at the door, offering herself to him as a token of gratitude for saving her life."
"No matter how much we persuaded him or chased him away, he refused to leave."
"Angry Sister Qiu punished him by making him drink alcohol in the courtyard all night. When I rushed over today after hearing the news, he was still kneeling on the gravel and repenting."
"I wanted to plead for him, but you know Sister Qiu's temper... I don't dare to provoke her."
Thinking of his old friend's miserable appearance, Su Muyang slapped his thigh and laughed out loud towards the sky.
See…this is the inconvenience of having a wife.
For someone like him, with no one to control him, he can be as carefree as he wants.
Yan Shixu glanced at him speechlessly and asked, "How did that girl who wanted to marry you end up like that?"
Su Muyang shrugged and said:
"Of course I have to make my move. If I rely on Lao Luo and Mrs. Qiu to persuade them with kind words, they might not be willing to leave even after a long time."
"I had someone pack her up and send her back to the bully. The girl was so scared she ran away immediately."
"I've seen a lot of these girls trying to get close to the rich and powerful. Maybe she arranged the bullies herself."
"I call this—cutting the Gordian knot!"
Yan Shixu: "..."
I actually felt that what he said made some sense.
