Chapter 368 Su Mansion
"Zhongyan, you are back?" Lu Chengye held Su Zhongyan's hand affectionately.
"I'm sorry, sir, we don't know him!" Su Zhongyan withdrew his hand coldly.
When her family was exiled, the Lu family not only refused to help, but also broke off the engagement and humiliated Aying.
The Su family hates the Lu family so much, how could they have a good face?
"Where are Zhongyan and Boyan?" Lu Chengye looked around and saw that all the men were here, including a few from the Su family.
"My brother is in Wu County!" Su Zhongyan didn't want to pay attention, but Lu Chengye was just as sticky and stubborn as before.
"Then, where is Aying? Is she still in Wu County? Is she okay?" Lu Chengye stared at Su Zhongyan, his eyes full of concern.
"My dear, my sister and you have no relationship and have never met before. Don't you think it's presumptuous for you to ask about me like this?" Su Zhongyan said sarcastically.
"I, Zhongyan, I don't know my mother, I begged people everywhere, just hoping to stay..." Lu Chengye felt bitter in his heart.
I can't mention those things in public because I have to consider Ah Ying's reputation.
Su Zhongyan glanced at Lu Chengye and believed what he said, but so what?
It is an indisputable fact that the Lu family hurt Su Ying, and the person in front of him is the culprit!
Although both were students of the Imperial College, their two families had no connection. The Su family came from a poor family and had to rely on their own efforts.
Lu Chengye is the second son of the Lu family, a prominent family with deep roots and an outstanding elder brother. He just wants to be a playboy and attend the Imperial College just to make connections.
Su Ying and I should have been parallel lines that never intersected.
That day, Su Ying passed by the Imperial College and picked up her two brothers who were studying there. She met Lu Chengye and was shocked by his beauty. She kept him in mind.
If he hadn't been so persistent, how could the Su family have agreed to this marriage? In the end, this marriage became a sharp blade stabbing the Su family!
"Brother, we've finished eating!" Su Bangyan didn't even bother to eat and came to the rescue.
"Sir, we're done eating!" The children all said in unison, all very smart.
"Let's go, let's rent a car." Su Zhongyan took the children away, leaving Lu Chengye aside.
"Why did the Su family treat you like this?" The classmates came over and stood up for them.
"But the Junior Magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture doesn't even take your Lu family seriously! You're lucky you didn't marry a girl from the Su family, otherwise the Su family would have been riding on your head!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Lu Chengye found it irritating. "I'm not worthy of her! It's my Lu family that's wronged the Su family! This is what I deserve!"
"Go to Changshoufang!" Su Zhongyan hired a few carriages and said to the driver.
"Okay!" The driver cracked the whip and prepared to set off.
"Zhongyan, Lord Su is the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the Su family has moved out of Changshoufang! Now they are in Guangdefang!" Lu Chengye, who followed, couldn't help but interrupt.
Su Zhongyan glanced at Lu Chengye. Didn't his father mention returning the Su residence in his letter? What did he mean by that?
"Believe me, the Su Mansion is right next to the Jingzhao Mansion in Guangdefang! They moved there a few days ago." Lu Chengye said.
Su Zhongyan thought for a moment and said to the driver, "Let's go to Guangdefang first."
The original Su residence was the residence of the Chang'an County Magistrate, located behind the Chang'an County Office in Changshoufang. According to the law, it should be occupied by the successor.
The successor thought it was unlucky, so he sealed the house and no one was willing to live there.
Now that it has become a lucky house, naturally people are vying to live in it.
Su Bucheng did not want to disturb the county office, so he vacated the space on his own initiative. Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Li Hongshi helped him find a house next to the government office.
As a young master in the Beijing circle, Lu Chengye would naturally know it soon.
"Husband!" Wang Zhihua, who had just returned from strolling around the East Market to relax, lifted the carriage curtain and saw her husband standing by the roadside, staring blankly at the carriage going away.
"My wife!" Lu Chengye regained his composure. "Why are you here?"
"Why is my husband here? Aren't you having dinner with your classmates?" Wang Zhihua clearly noticed that her husband was absent-minded.
"We're done eating! Let's go out for a walk!" Lu Chengye said casually.
"Husband, do you want to go back with me?" Wang Zhihua lifted the door curtain.
"No, I have something else to do, you go back first!" Lu Chengye was feeling bored and wanted to take a walk alone to relax.
When he saw the Su family, he wanted to get close to them and get news about Su Ying.
The more he couldn't get it, the more he missed it, even though his mind told him that he was already a husband and shouldn't have any improper thoughts.
But he couldn't control his heart, he just wanted to see the little girl, and his feet involuntarily went to Guangdefang.
She is beautiful, intelligent, wise, and cheerful. She is completely different from other women and is very fascinating.
Wang Zhihua twisted her handkerchief. Her husband came home every day and didn't fool around outside, but she just couldn't get into his heart.
My father was exiled to Lingnan and took office in Rong County, which was said to be not far from Wu County where the Su family was exiled.
When I left Chang'an, no one saw me off!
I took my valuables to Shili Pavilion to say goodbye. My mother-in-law didn't say anything, but her face was very long.
They no longer had the intimacy and kindness of the past, but became distant and polite, sighing from time to time.
There were many members of the Wang family in the capital, and they had cut off all ties with her. If it weren't for Minister Lu's fourth-rank official status, she would have been kicked out of the circle of wealthy and noble ladies.
"Follow me!" Wang Zhihua felt something was wrong when she saw her husband heading towards Guangdefang.
The carriage followed all the way, and sure enough, her husband arrived in Jingzhao Prefecture.
"Wow! Bingyan, is this your home? It's so big!" The children got off the carriage. This place is full of wealthy families and is very grand.
"Shh, stop making noise, this is Jingzhao Prefecture!" Su Bangyan signaled everyone to be quiet.
A yamen runner came out quickly and took Su Bucheng into the Su Mansion. Su Bucheng went to the imperial city to see the construction site.
"Wow! So many houses!" The children were shocked by the mansions.
According to Tang Dynasty law, the official residence of a fourth-rank official could occupy 1/32 of a block.
The main buildings in ancient times included the central hall, east hall, west hall and north hall.
There is a courtyard every ten steps or so, and together with the courtyard, it covers an area of 1-2 mu.
The three main courtyards together cover an area of about 4-6 mu, plus 2-3 mu of kitchen, utility room, stable, etc., and several mu of orchard and vegetable garden. The house covers an area of about 15 mu.
Not only the other children were astonished, Su Zhaoyan and Su Bianyan were also stunned. The dry land that Huanggou Village had reclaimed with great effort was only this small.
Su Shiyan and Su Chenyan remained silent, secretly thanking their lucky stars that Xingyang did not cause any trouble, otherwise, they would not have the chance to live in such a spacious and luxurious house.
Being an official is great! Look at this mansion, no wonder everyone wants to be an official!
Qin Fangcheng's heart was like water dripping into a frying pan, tumbling and rolling, feeling sour, unwilling, envious, jealous and hateful, all kinds of feelings except joy.
The wife, son and daughter are all gone, but the Su family still lives such a luxurious life. Why?
"Okay, now let's allocate housing. After the allocation, everyone should clean up their own residence!" said Su Zhongyan.
"Yes, sir!" the children said in unison.
"Husband!" Wang Zhihua called from behind.
Seeing a group of children in orange vests entering Su's house and her husband hiding in the corner and refusing to leave, what else did Wang Zhihua not understand?
"Why, why did you follow me?" Lu Chengye turned his head and saw that it was his wife, his face changed drastically.
"My husband can come, why can't I?" Wang Zhihua felt indignant.
"You! Boring!" Lu Chengye was angry and left in anger.
Wang Zhihua stood there alone, tears welling up in her eyes.
