Chapter 881: Instructions
Su Zhengyan left the old man's yard but did not leave immediately.
Instead, he went to the study of the head of the Su family.
"Alas!" The head of the Su family sighed and said, "Grandfather has been away from officialdom for many years and doesn't know the difficulties our Su family is facing now... There is no one to carry on the family legacy!"
When the head of the Su family thought of this, he felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, making it hard for him to breathe.
"I don't know how many people are secretly eyeing our Su family, wanting to replace us, and most of our descendants are useless..."
The head of the Su family shook his head as he spoke, and a few more white hairs appeared on his head.
The Su family has deep roots and many descendants, so why is there no one who can achieve something?
We both have the surname Su, but you see that a country boy like him could even pass the imperial examination, while my son couldn't even pass the imperial examination...
How great it would be if this was my own child!
Su Zhengyan felt a sense of empathy when he saw the appearance of the head of the Su family.
"Brother, did you really say that the young lady from the Su family was canonized as a princess by the emperor?" Su Zhengyan asked, "Why haven't I heard any news? Is it completely false?"
Su Zhengyan sincerely doubted its authenticity.
After all, how could a little girl from the countryside have such great luck?
If this happened in the capital, it would be fine.
But how did the Queen Mother and the eldest princess get to know that little girl in such a remote little place?
Could it be that... the Empress Dowager met him when she left Beijing a few days ago?
Is this... possible?
You know, the Empress Dowager hasn't left Tianlong Temple for ten years.
After leaving Beijing once, that little girl just happened to catch the eye of the Empress Dowager?
The head of the Su family also had some doubts about this matter.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll try to find out after the morning court tomorrow."
All the head of the Su family could inquire about were some of his colleagues.
However, no one knows about this.
Finally, the head of the Su family found out about it from Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu touched the banknotes in his hand, looked at the head of the Su family, and said with a smile: "Princess Fude was canonized by the emperor himself. Speaking of which, the little princess also has the surname Su. If Lord Su is interested, maybe we can be considered relatives."
The head of the Su family had his thoughts revealed and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
But my heart feels so bitter.
I wanted to talk to my relatives, but unfortunately they ignored me.
Alas! We both have the surname Su, so why isn’t she my daughter?
**
Old Man Su finally decided to go to Beijing.
However, he didn't bring his entire family, only his wife.
You don’t have to bring your sons and grandsons with you, but your daughter-in-law must come with you.
"Boss, I'll leave the family affairs to you." Old Man Su urged: "You should be more diligent in running around at Zhuangzi, so as not to delay the spring plowing. Listen to Yu Zhuangyuan about the affairs of the academy. Oh, Yu Zhuangyuan is also going to Beijing with us, so you should take care of it yourself..."
"Second brother, you should come back more often and take care of me... Forget it, just focus on your work and don't worry about things at home, which will only delay your work..."
"Old Four, you can come back more often. There are so many brats at home. If any of them disobey you, just beat them up..."
As Old Man Su was talking, he suddenly felt that he still had too few sons.
The third and fifth sons are going to Beijing, the second son is going to work in the county, the fourth son is going to look after the shop in town, and the eldest son also has a job, but he still has to take care of so many things at home.
If Xiaoliu was here... Forget it, that brat Xiaoliu is the kind of person who can't stay put. Who knows where he is now?
Old Man Su comforted himself in this way, but he still felt worried when he thought of his youngest son.
As long as he can't see his youngest son alive and well with his own eyes, he will never be able to let go of his heart.
Old Mrs. Su was instructing her daughters-in-law to take good care of the house and look after the children.
"...My dear eldest daughter-in-law, you are the eldest sister-in-law, so you should take good care of the household. If you are undecided about something, just listen to your Aunt Gu..."
"Second son's wife, keep an eye on Little Thirteen. Don't just think about visiting neighbors, and don't hit the child secretly..."
"Xiao Liu's wife is young and in mourning, so don't go out unless necessary..."
"My third daughter-in-law is not feeling well. She needs to move more. If you feel uncomfortable, tell your eldest sister-in-law to get a doctor..."
As Mrs. Su spoke, she began to feel uneasy.
In fact, the one who was most worried was Su Laosan.
Tang Bao was not around, and Doctor Wang also went to the capital with Xuanyuan Jin.
Although his wife is pregnant and still several months away from giving birth, he feels uneasy because he doesn't have a skilled doctor.
"Manniang, why don't you come with us to Beijing?" Su Laosan said, "Just walk slowly. With my sister accompanying you, it will be fine..."
Su Sansao Sun Manniang was a little moved and hesitated for a moment.
Then, he shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking of.
"The two children are still young. If we both leave, it's fine during the day, but I'm afraid Little Twelve will cry at night." Mrs. Su said, "Besides, if I go with them, my belly will be even bigger when I come back. It would be a waste of time on the road. It's better for me to stay at home."
How could Su Lao San not know this?
If it weren't for his familiarity with the capital, and if he hadn't been asked to go with them to take care of things, he really wanted to stay at home with his wife.
To be honest, he has been running around outside most of the time in recent years and has not spent much time at home.
However, with his mother and sister at home, he had nothing to worry about except missing his wife.
Now that his mother and sister are gone, it would be strange for him to feel at ease!
"Man Niang, you really... don't want to go to the capital?"
There was a hint of something different in Su Laosan's tone.
Mrs. Su San lowered her eyes.
No words, just nodded.
"Well, I'll get to the capital, settle my parents and sister, and come back right away." Su Lao San said, "You and the children wait for me at home..."
Su Lao San paused and continued, "Even if my parents go to live in the capital, our family will stay in the countryside. At worst, my eldest brother and his wife can go to the capital to serve my parents, and my husband and I will stay in the countryside to guard our ancestral property."
After hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Su's eyes turned red.
He knew that men did this for her.
"good."
After Su Sansao finished speaking, she smiled at Su Lao San.
For a moment, it was as if flowers were blooming and spring was brilliant.
Although she is already a mother of two children and is pregnant with another, Sun Manniang's appearance has not diminished at all.
Not only that, it is even more beautiful and more charming.
Su Laosan's blood boiled and he picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it directly.
Mrs. Su was startled.
"Why are you drinking herbal tea? What if you upset your stomach?" Mrs. Su said worriedly.
"It's okay, it helps to cool down!" Su Lao San waved his hand.
Mrs. Su San: "...What kind of heat do you want to relieve? When did you get angry? I'll ask my sister for some pills..." She didn't say the word "medicine".
Under Su Laosan's gloomy gaze, the words got stuck in his throat.
After all, they were husband and wife, so Mrs. Su San immediately understood what was going on.
Involuntarily, a blush appeared on my face.
Then, the whole person looked more and more beautiful than flowers.
So, Su Laosan's anger, which had just subsided, rose again.
