Chapter 1048: Why not pick it up from the Su family?
"Master, you..." Su Zhengyan said with a complicated expression.
"Patriarch..."
"Patriarch..."
The other members of the Su family also spoke up, their faces filled with disbelief.
Then, everyone in the Su family looked at the old man of the Su family, waiting for him to express his opinion.
Everyone knows that the real person in charge of the Su family is actually the old man of the Su family.
The old man of the Su family didn't say anything. He looked at Old Man Su with a hint of expectation in his eyes, but his expression was firm.
In his opinion, everything Old Man Su did was to regain the position of head of the Su family.
Now, the position of the head of the family has been given to Old Man Su, and he will definitely accept it with pleasure.
Although, he didn't care about this. It was obvious that he had not read many books and was just a rough and uncouth country bumpkin.
However, considering that he has a pair of good children, this can be ignored.
Old Man Su sneered and said, "What are you talking about, Patriarch Su? What does your Su family have to do with me? I am just a country boy, and I have always done things in an upright manner. I can't do those shameful and despicable things that your Su family has done!
"In this case, how can you be the Patriarch of the Su Family? Patriarch Su should just take it back!"
Old man Su's words were full of sarcasm, and it was hard for him not to curse directly. Instead, he took a detour at the end.
However, this was more embarrassing for everyone in the Su family than just cursing.
Old Mrs. Su glanced at her husband and felt that his eloquence was getting better and better.
"Dad, you always say you are a country bumpkin, but in fact you have a reputation." Tang Bao said with a smile: "You forgot, but the emperor conferred an official of the fifth rank, and my mother is also a fifth rank imperial lady."
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Old Man Su slapped his forehead and showed an expression of sudden realization.
"You see, Dad always forgets that he also has a rank." Old Man Su said with emotion: "Unlike the Su family, a century-old family, even if their own descendants fail the imperial examination, they still want to bring the descendants of other families to them to show off."
Well, Old Man Su slapped the Su family again.
However, the people in the Su family didn't care about blushing.
Because they were so shocked.
It has to be said that many people in the Su family and the onlookers were shocked after hearing what the old man Su and his daughter said.
They never imagined that Old Man Su was actually an official!
"It turns out that the father of this young genius doctor is also an official!"
"The young genius doctor's family is indeed not like these centuries-old families. There are few capable people in the family, but they are more arrogant than anyone else and think they are better than everyone else..."
"That's right, look at the little genius doctor and his family, how approachable they are..."
He is so close to the people. Although he is an official, he not only does not wear official robes, but also does not put on airs. He also keeps saying that he is from the countryside and is a farmer. What is his purpose?
Those who were speaking couldn't help but feel some resentment.
Even if it is a fifth-rank official position, it is really nothing in the capital, but it is still an official position, right?
They want to too!
If Bai Shuqing were here, he would definitely say that this was the custom of their Su family.
I am used to being low-key first, and then being high-key to slap others in the face!
If you believe them, just wait to be slapped in the face!
The old man of the Su family was also surprised.
It turned out that his grandson had already left the farming family and became a fifth-rank official.
Although this official position is too low, it is still much better than those descendants of the Su family who couldn't even pass the imperial examination.
The old man of the Su family began to re-examine Old Man Su.
"Yang'er, it was Grandfather's fault for what happened back then. Now that your cousin has given you the position of head of the family, you should take over."
Although the old man of the Su family said that he was wrong, he still put on airs.
In his opinion, as long as Old Man Su took over the seal and returned to the Su family, he would still be Old Man Su's biological grandfather.
As Old Man Su’s grandson, we naturally have to respect him!
There is no elder in the world who is not wrong!
For him to say that it was inappropriate was already a big concession.
"Is it just inappropriate?" Old Man Su asked in disbelief.
The old man of the Su family's face darkened.
"Yang'er, if you take the seal, the position of the patriarch of the Su family will be yours, and the position of the head of the Su family will also be yours. From now on, you will have the final say in the entire Su family and the entire Su clan!" The old man of the Su family thought that old man Su didn't know the relationship and power involved, so he explained it specially.
Old Man Su looked at the old man of the Su family, and the expression on his face became more and more incredible.
"Haha..." Old Man Su laughed twice, then changed his tone and said, "Who said I want the position of Patriarch of the Su family? What does your Su family have to do with me? I'm not a descendant of your Su family!"
The old man of the Su family: "...Yang'er, stop messing around! The entire Su family and the Su clan are under your control. What else do you want?"
The old man of the Su family had a patient expression on his face, and he looked at Old Man Su as if he was an ignorant child!
"What else do you want? Of course, take down the plaque!" Old Man Su said bluntly: "You have already lost the plaque on your front door!"
Things finally returned to the point.
After Old Man Su finished speaking, he asked his son to go back up the ladder and take down the plaque.
I'm too lazy to pay attention to the old man of the Su family talking to himself.
The old man of the Su family was full of disbelief.
The other members of the Su family also looked incredulous.
They couldn't believe that Old Man Su actually gave up returning to the Su family and giving up inheriting the position of the head of the Su family!
After hearing what Old Man Su said, Su Lao Er and Su Lao San naturally agreed loudly and climbed up the ladder in a few steps.
"Stop! You are descendants of the Su family!" The old man of the Su family repeatedly stopped them, crying out in grief: "How can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Su family by doing this?!"
The imperial plaque earned by our ancestors was not taken away by others, but was taken away by his own descendants. Is there anything more ironic than this?
Old Man Su looked at the old man of the Su family and said seriously, "If the ancestors of the Su family were to know what their descendants have done, they would agree to take down this plaque."
"The ancestors of the Su family must have been upright scholars. They would certainly despise descendants like you and would rather remove this plaque!"
"Because, the Su family's gate is no longer worthy of hanging such a plaque!"
As soon as Old Man Su finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers around him, as well as several respected old men in the official community, all nodded.
"Brother Su, this plaque is no longer suitable to be hung on the gate of your Su family since Brother Su did such ungrateful and treacherous things." said Old Master Feng.
Old Master Zhang snorted coldly and said, "The reputation of the world's scholars has been affected by your Su family!"
That's true.
It can be imagined that once these things happened in the Su family, a century-old family, were spread, they would definitely affect Shi Lin's reputation among the people.
"Grandfather, forget it." The head of the Su family said self-deprecatingly, "This plaque should have been taken down long ago. Instead of letting others take it down, why don't we, the Su family, take it down ourselves..."
The old man of the Su family: "..."
