Chapter 1964: The Iron-faced General in Siwa’s Letter
Su Laosan walked over quickly and took the letter from the manager's hand.
"Dad, this is for you."
Old Man Su took the letter, opened it impatiently and began to read it.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt..."
Siwa directly expressed his condolences to everyone in the Su family.
Then he began to talk about his experience at the border.
And, one person was mentioned repeatedly.
"...Thanks to General Ironface for deflecting the enemy's weapon and saving me..."
"...The general's marksmanship is exceptional. He's the most formidable man besides my father..."
"...The general said that the knee pads made by grandma look very warm..."
"...The general said the dried meat made by my aunt looked especially delicious..."
"...The General said..."
Following Old Man Su’s voice, everyone in the Su family had one more person in mind—the Iron-faced General.
Old Man Su put down the letter and looked at Old Lady Su.
"Mother of the child, you..."
"I'll make some knee pads and some clothes and send them to General Iron-faced!"
Old Mrs. Su started looking for a sewing basket without waiting for Old Man Su to finish speaking.
Old Man Su looked at Tang Bao again.
"Don't worry, Dad. I'll have someone prepare some meat for jerky, and I guarantee that General Iron-faced will have enough to eat!" Tang Bao also quickly expressed his opinion.
"Dad, I'll go to Wang the blacksmith and ask him to make a set of breastplate for General Iron-faced!" said Su Laosi.
"Dad, I'm going to find President Wang of the Chamber of Commerce and ask him to give up the heart-protecting mirror he got a few days ago and send someone to deliver it to General Tiemian." Su Lao San said.
Mrs. Su San and Mrs. Su Si looked at each other.
"Dad, tomorrow we'll go to the Huguo Temple to burn incense and pray to the Buddha to bless General Iron-face to be invincible on the battlefield, to conquer everything, to be unstoppable, and to terrify all!"
Princess Huaning said quickly, "Father, my two sisters-in-law and I will go together to pray to the Buddha to bless General Iron-face with a life free from illness and disaster, and a happy and healthy life."
Su Laowu: “…”
If you don't have this kind of skills, why leave him behind?
What should he do?
"Dad, how about I write an ode about a general?" Su Laowu said thoughtfully.
"Fifth Uncle, let me write with you!" Su Chengyao said hurriedly.
"Okay!" Old Man Su said repeatedly.
If two top scholars wrote the same fu, it would definitely amaze the whole capital!
Princess Zimo was unhappy. Everyone had something to do, so what was she doing?
"Zi Mo, help me make dried meat." Tang Bao said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Princess Zimo was happy.
Then, he said curiously: "I don't know what the Iron-faced General looks like, and why he wears a mask?"
Princess Zimo's words expressed the doubts in the hearts of everyone in the Su family.
"Is he really ugly? He's too embarrassed to see people?" Princess Zimo asked again doubtfully.
Everyone in the Su family: "..."
This child speaks too bluntly, which is not good sometimes.
"Ahem!" Old Man Su coughed twice, then spoke passionately and righteously, "A man who sacrifices his life, builds achievements, and defends the frontier is a hero. As for appearance, it's just a stinking shell!"
It was rare for Old Man Su to put on a serious face and say such meaningful words.
Su Chengyao quickly hooked Princess Zimo's little finger and said respectfully to Old Man Su: "Grandpa is right. My grandson and I have learned our lesson."
Princess Zimo also reacted and quickly followed her husband's lead, saying, "Grandpa is right. I'm grateful for your advice."
After saying that, he chuckled again and began to flatter Old Man Su.
"Grandpa is so knowledgeable and his words are so reasonable. Listening to him is like an epiphany for my granddaughter-in-law."
Old Man Su: “…”
I can't keep a straight face anymore.
Tang Bao burst out laughing.
Zi Mo has not been home for long, but he has already grasped the essence of making his parents happy.
Everyone in the Su family started to get busy, surrounding the Iron-faced General.
Although none of them had ever seen the Iron-faced General, he seemed to have become part of the lives of everyone in the Su family.
There was more good news from the border.
Along with the good news came the reputation of the Iron-faced General and various versions of the legend.
Some say that the Iron-faced General was a military genius, but he was only eight feet tall and extremely ugly.
Some also said that the Iron-faced General had extraordinary martial arts and a voice like a bell. If he stood in front of the two armies and howled, he could scare the enemy to death and make them lose their temper.
Others say that the Iron-faced General was actually handsome, but he wore a mask because he was afraid that he would not be able to control his soldiers and enemies.
Some even say that the Iron General is actually a woman...
In short, the topic of the Iron-faced General became a hot topic in the capital.
It is impossible to say that the Su family members are not curious about the Iron-faced General.
Look, the daughters-in-law of the Su family surrounded their mother-in-law, some doing needlework, some coaxing the children, and their mouths were also busy.
"I don't know when my sixth brother's wife and the others will be able to come back?" Fourth Sister Su said worriedly while sewing clothes.
Princess Huaning, Su Wu's wife, weighed Little Eighteen in her arms and said, "I heard the army is about to return victorious. I'm sure Sixth Brother's wife and the others will be back soon too."
"That's great! The battle is finally over." Third Sister Su bit off the thread in her hand and said casually, "After Sixth Brother's wife and the others come back, we'll have another wedding at home."
"That's right. When Dapan and Erpan get married, mother will have two more granddaughters-in-law." Mrs. Su said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Su was naturally happy to hear this.
"When people get older, they like to play with their grandchildren and make the house lively and lively." Old Mrs. Su said with a smile.
"Mom, you are not old. When you stand with us, everyone will think you are sisters." Mrs. Su said with a smile.
"What you said is true, Third Sister-in-law. The other day, Aunt Xia secretly complained to me, saying that she is obviously a few years younger than you, but she looks older than you." Fourth Sister-in-law Su said with a smile.
"Mother is naturally beautiful, no one else can compare to her." Princess Huaning smiled and weighed the fat boy in her arms.
Old Madam Su felt a little embarrassed by the praise from her daughters-in-law. She said with a smile, "You guys are just imitating your aunt all day long, and you only talk to make me happy."
"And me, I've also been learning from my aunt." Princess Zimo raised her hand actively.
Old Mrs. Su: “…”
Su family sisters-in-law: "..."
Everyone laughed.
The women in the room burst into laughter. Princess Zimo said excitedly, "I wonder if General Iron-faced will return with the army? If so, we can invite him to our home for a drink and dinner. Perhaps he'll take off his mask while he eats, and then we'll know what he really looks like."
Several sisters-in-law of the Su family: "..."
They all paused.
Yes!
Why didn’t they think of it?
The sisters-in-law of the Su family looked at each other.
Although no one said anything, Princess Zimo's words touched their hearts.
They actually also wanted to know whether the Iron-faced General was a man or a woman.
There is no way, there are too many legends about the Iron-faced General in the capital.
It was hard not to be curious.
It can be said that Princess Zimo sometimes became a mouthpiece for several sisters-in-law of the Su family.
