Chapter 1040: Old Man Su's vest fell off
When the old man of the Su family heard what the old men said, his eyes immediately widened.
"Have you come here to laugh at me?" The old man of the Su family looked at them with disheveled hair, his beard twitching, and shouted angrily, "My Su family is the leader in the officialdom. Our ancestors have produced top scholars! Role models! Third place winners... Two of them have served as tutors to the emperor, and three have served in the cabinet..."
These are the former glory of the Su family, and the pride that the old man of the Su family has been proud of all his life!
The patriarch of the Su family saw the old man of the Su family, who looked furious but full of energy. He actually ignored the tense atmosphere and a strange thought arose in his mind - what the girl said was right!
Nothing will happen to the old man with this appearance!
As soon as the old man of the Su family finished speaking, several old men shook their heads, with various expressions on their faces.
"May I ask, Brother Su, how many people from the Su family are currently serving as officials in the court? What is the rank of the highest-ranking official?" an old man asked.
"May I ask, Brother Su, how many people in the Su family have passed the imperial examinations in recent years? How many have entered officialdom?" asked another old man.
"May I ask, Brother Su, how many members of the Su family took part in the spring examination this year, and how many passed?" another old man asked.
The old man of the Su family: "..."
I opened my mouth, but no words came out.
Compared with the glory and splendor of their ancestors, the current Su family is unremarkable and has no successors.
It has to be said that every word the old men said hit the heart of the old man of the Su family.
"Brother Su, it's time for the Su family to give up the position of the head of the officialdom." Old Master Feng advised gently.
"That's right! Many of the Su family's sons and daughters are mediocre. It's time to take down the plaque that reads "Poetry and Books". " Old Master Tian said bluntly.
"That's right! The Su family is no longer what it used to be..."
"Master! Old Master!"
Su Ming finally squeezed in, sweating profusely and with footprints all over his clothes, and interrupted Mr. Zhang loudly.
Compared to the Su family's patriarch who was discouraged and had no expectations, Su Zhengyan's eyes lit up when he saw Su Ming.
"Su Ming, how is it?" Su Zhengyan asked first.
My heart is beating wildly involuntarily.
He intuitively felt that the person from the Su family in front of him must be related to his own family.
Otherwise, Su Ming would not have come to interrupt at this juncture.
Sure enough, after hearing what Su Zhengyan said, Su Ming first glanced at Old Man Su, then came up to the old man of the Su family and others, and said in a low voice with a complicated expression: "Old man, the Su family in Daliushu Village, Fengqi County, went to worship their ancestors. There is a white jade archway at the place. It is the ancestral tomb of the Su family in the suburbs of Beijing..."
The old man of the Su family: “……???”
The old man of the Su family was still a little confused, but the patriarch of the Su family and Su Zhengyan suddenly understood.
Isn’t Su Wenqing the name of the great uncle who died young in the Su family’s ancestral tomb?
It’s not their fault that they can’t remember this name. It’s because the old man of the Su family and his second wife deliberately obliterated it. All the children of the Su family have no impression of the name Su Wenqing.
If they had not occasionally seen the tombstone during their ancestor worship, they would never have known that they had such an uncle who died young.
"They went to pay their respects to my great uncle..." The Su family's patriarch was shocked and muttered to himself, "Su Zhengyang... a member of the Zheng generation... I should have thought of it earlier..."
Su Zhengyan was also shocked, and his eyes were full of complexity when he looked at Old Man Su.
How much hatred is this? Wouldn't he be satisfied if he destroyed all the plaques earned by his ancestors?
But what is going on?
Su Zhengyan looked at the Patriarch of the Su family, who didn't know what was going on either.
The other members of the Su family looked even more bewildered.
They had no idea what Su Ming meant.
The head of the Su family looked at Old Man Su and said anxiously, "You are my great uncle's son, so you should be my cousin, right?"
"What did you say?" The old man of the Su family suddenly shouted.
Old Man Su glanced at the old man of the Su family, then looked at the patriarch of the Su family. He held his head high and said loudly, "I dare not marry high! I am just a farmer in the countryside. I dare not be the cousin of the patriarch of your century-old family, the Su family!"
The Su family patriarch: "..."
Who drove out my uncle's son?
What a heinous crime!
Su Zhengyan hurriedly explained to the old man of the Su family, "Old man, my eldest brother asked Su Ming to go to Fengqi County to investigate. He found out that the Su family of Daliushu Village had been traveling back and forth to the capital around the Qingming Festival a few years ago..."
As Su Zhengyan spoke, the old man's expression became more and more exciting.
There are shocks and complexities...
"You are... Wen Qing's son, Yang'er?"
The old man of the Su family looked at Old Man Su, his voice trembling slightly.
The image of that little figure from back then seemed to appear before my eyes. She was timid but with a flattering expression, showing him the crickets she had caught...
Old Man Su pursed his lips tightly and looked away, not looking at Old Master Su.
Not admitting it is tantamount to acquiescence.
Tang Bao was not at all surprised that her father suddenly revealed his true identity.
It took the Su family such a long time to find out, which shows how much they neglected their grandfather.
Su Lao Er and Su Lao San also completely stopped what they were doing.
This drama of recognizing relatives actually took place as soon as it was said.
This shocking incident shocked the crowd watching the excitement around.
Those old men were also shocked.
For a moment, there was complete silence in front of the Su family's gate, and everyone looked at Old Man Su.
"No wonder you look so familiar..." The old man of the Su family looked at Old Man Su and muttered to himself, "So you take after your father, and yes, your son too..."
The old man of the Su family seemed to remember something and suddenly looked at Su Laowu.
My heart started beating violently!
It's like a drowning person suddenly grabbing a piece of driftwood!
"Hahaha... who said my Su family has no successors?!" The old man of the Su family laughed loudly, "My Su family's descendant has won the first place in the imperial examination and is the champion of this spring examination!"
After the old man of the Su family finished speaking, he looked at the other old men, pointed at Su Laowu, and said proudly: "See? This is the descendant of my Su family!"
Several old men: "..."
His expression changed.
How did he become a descendant of the Su family?
Is the Su family just lucky?
Several old men grumbled to themselves!
"Old Master Su, you are wrong. Although my son is a descendant of the Su family, he is not a descendant of your Su family!" Old Man Su sneered and said, "Old Master Su, have you forgotten that I am not a member of your Su family?"
The old man of the Su family: "..."
The smug expression froze.
The crowd of onlookers around: "..."
My heart, liver and lungs were beating wildly with excitement.
Here it comes again... Here it comes again...
There must be some shocking secret!
