Chapter 880: Wait and see
"A cenotaph?" Su Lao Er shouted.
"Keep your voice down!" Boss Su yelled, "Don't let Dad hear!"
After hearing what his eldest brother said, Su Laoer quickly turned his head and looked at Old Man Su's window.
Then, he lowered his voice and said, "So there are only two cenotaphs in our cemetery?"
Boss Su: “…”
Su Laowu: “…”
What's wrong with feeling a little sad?
Then, Boss Su said, "Even though it's a cenotaph, we still have to pay our respects when it's time."
"Of course." Su Laoer and Su Laowu said in unison.
Boss Su looked at Tang Bao and asked, "Sister, did our father tell us where our grandparents' real graves are?"
"Of course it's in the capital." Tang Bao said, "I just don't know the exact address..."
After Tang Bao finished speaking, he acted as if he was thinking deeply about it.
He added, "I think... our grandparents' graves are probably in a place that's not convenient for worship. Otherwise, our father wouldn't have told our third brother and asked him to go and pay his respects..."
Unless it is inconvenient for her third brother to offer sacrifices.
Su Laowu nodded and said, "Perhaps there are other internal reasons."
"I think it has something to do with that century-old Su family!" Su Lao Er said, "Otherwise, our father wouldn't have gotten so angry when he heard it was someone from the Su family in Beijing."
"That's true." Boss Su nodded in agreement and said, "Fifth Brother, whether our father goes to the capital to worship our ancestors or not, you must remember that once you get there, if the Su family, a century-old family, makes you lavish promises of benefits, you must not accept them. Stay away from them!"
"However, if they deliberately make things difficult for you, don't put up with it. Although it is said that a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, we Su family members cannot lose our integrity! What's more, the capital is under the feet of the emperor. No matter how capable his Su family is, they can't cover the sky with one hand!"
Su Lao Er patted Su Lao Da's shoulder and said, "Brother, you've got it wrong. I really hope that the Su family will cause trouble for Lao Wu and my sister. That way, hehe..."
Su Lao Er let out a sinister laugh.
Boss Su: “…”
The taste came back.
Anyone who dares to cause trouble for his own sister is courting death!
"How about... Old Five, when you guys get to the capital, go provoke that century-old family," Su Lao Er suggested. "That way, they won't be tempted to mess with you and your sister. Our father must have suffered a great loss at their hands back then, and we have to avenge that, right?"
Although the eldest Su had come to his senses, he listened to the second Su's advice and immediately scolded him, "Second, stop talking nonsense! The fifth son went to Beijing to participate in the Spring Examination. It's better to have less trouble than more. A smooth exam is the most important thing. Everything else can be put off until later."
After saying that, he looked at Su Laowu and solemnly warned him, "Laowu, don't listen to your second brother's nonsense. Take the exam seriously, get the top scorer, and then ride a tall horse, wear a big red flower, and go to the gate of that century-old family and circle a few times!"
Su Laowu: “…”
Sure enough, the eldest brother is the eldest brother!

"Snap!"
The old man of the Su family slammed the table hard.
"How can this be! A mere scholar like him is so ungrateful!" Old Master Su shouted angrily, "What does he think the capital is? Without the support of my Su family, he would never have been able to enter the officialdom!"
After Old Master Su finished speaking, he glanced at Su Zhengyan, who was incompetent, and then looked at the head of the Su family who was standing with his hands hanging down.
"Send someone to keep an eye on him. As soon as Su Wuhu arrives in Beijing, give him a warning and let him know that the capital isn't a place where you can survive just by being talented!"
Patriarch Su: “…”
He looked at Old Master Su with disbelief.
Could it be that his grandfather meant for him to do something to bully others by taking advantage of his power?
The Su family's family motto states that no one is allowed to betray others or bully others by taking advantage of their power!
"What's that expression on your face?" Old Master Su said dissatisfiedly, "Now even a person from a remote mountain village dares to ignore our Su family. If we don't teach him a lesson, where will our Su family's reputation be?"
Su Zhengyan couldn't help but say, "Old Master, this isn't appropriate. The Su family isn't an ordinary family."
Old Master Su frowned and looked at Su Zhengyan with a stern look.
"Humph! How could a lowly person born in the mountains possibly possess such extraordinary abilities?" Old Master Su said in a deep voice, "The prestige of our Su family has been tarnished by you! To the point that even those lowly people dare to look down on the Su family!"
Su Zhengyan was filled with shock.
He didn't expect that the old man of the Su family would look down on the country people so much.
It is true that he also looked down on her in his heart, but at least he knew that as a member of the Su family and a role model of Shilin, he could not show it on his face.
However, the old man didn't hide it at all.
Su Zhengyan felt that he might have misunderstood the old man over the years.
However, thinking of what he had heard in Daliushu Village, he mustered up the courage to say, "Old Master, you may not know that the young lady from the Su family you have people looking for is Su Wuhu's sister, and she has now been canonized as a princess by the emperor."
Old Master Su: “…”
His expression froze.
Then, he snorted coldly.
"What if a little girl is canonized as a princess?" Old Master Su said proudly, "In the past, two girls from our Su family became princesses, and one became an imperial concubine."
It’s a pity that there are too few girls in the Su family.
There are so few of them that there hasn't been one in several lifetimes.
After listening to what Old Master Su said, Su Zhengyan naturally thought of the Su family's former glory.
However, no matter how glorious it was, it was only a hundred years ago.
Then, he patiently continued, "Old Master, not only that, according to the rumors in their village, the little girl from the Su family is treated as a granddaughter by the Empress Dowager, and as a sister by the eldest princess and the third prince. She can even call the emperor uncle."
Old Master Su: “…”
The proud and majestic expression cracked for a moment.
The head of the Su family sighed secretly and said, "Grandpa, since the Su family has such a relationship, in my grandson's opinion, even if we can't make friends, we can't make enemies."
After hearing what the head of the Su family said, Old Master Su finally calmed down.
After a moment's silence, he said, "Well, perhaps the people living in the countryside have limited knowledge and have never heard of our Su family. Therefore, they don't know how important the prestige of a century-old family is among the scholars. They also don't know that our Su family is the leader among the scholars..."
Su Zhengyan opened his mouth, wanting to tell the old man that the head of the Su family called out your name as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Since they don't know what's good for them, let's show them the power of the major families in the capital." Old Master Su regained his arrogant expression and said, "I want to see if the Su family can stir up trouble in the capital with just a small Jieyuan!"
Su Zhengyan: “…”
The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
In fact, he also wanted to know how powerful the Su family was.
Are what the villagers said true?
******
ps: Don’t worry, our sugar baby will definitely set off tomorrow!
After all, the stage is set up, and it’s time for our Su family to make a grand appearance!
If you like Wenwen, don't forget to watch the short video to support Ye Zi, hehe...
