"Brother Chunxu, why didn't Yu Zhixian just accept so much money from us?"
Xi Ran came over with a puzzled word.
After Zheng Zhui heard this, he was a little stunned. This was the first time he saw so many silver coins.
"Yes, Brother Chunxu, if you don't accept the money, it will be in vain." Zheng Zhui felt a little pity.
After hearing this, Chunxu turned around, looked at Zheng Chui and Xi Ran with a yellow and somewhat dark face, and told the reason for not accepting them.
"As the saying goes, you know a person's face but not his heart." After thinking about it again, Chunxu didn't want to talk any more and looked at the two of them with a smile on his face: "Go back and have some food and wine. Wait until Ziyuan finishes his homework and post the Spring Festival couplets."
"Yeah." Xi Ran was very happy.
Today is the eve of the Lunar New Year. Seeing Chunxu so happy and thinking that Yu Zhixian will not come to trouble him after this incident, Xiran suddenly feels at ease.
Zi Yuan's husband was a good gentleman. Knowing that Zi Yuan studied so hard, he did not forget to come to give Zi Yuan a lecture on New Year's Eve.
The ten-year-old Ziyuan loved reading and studied hard, which gave him the confidence to continue teaching.
Rain and snowflakes were falling in the sky over Xitong County, and the air was filled with a cold breath. The snow in Yanyang City was heavier, and it seemed to be much colder than in Xitong County.
In Yanyang City, every house is lit up with lights today, and the streets and alleys are filled with red lanterns. People are coming and going, and there are huge crowds of people.
"Master, where did Chunxu go? Why has there been no news for so many years?"
Ma, the second wife of Sun Mansion, walked into Master Sun's study of Sun Zhicai worriedly.
Ever since Yijin got married, the second wife, Ma, chatted with the main wife every day, and sometimes she regarded the eldest young master and the second young master as her own children.
In addition, I have not seen the eldest young master in the past few years due to official duties, but I still receive letters from Junze every few months, but I have never received a letter from the third young master Chunxu.
Nowadays, there is only one child in the family, the Second Young Master, but he does not work hard for an official position every day, but learns to make money.
After listening to the second lady's words, Mr. Sun raised his head and placed the brush on the pen holder beside him. After hesitating for a moment, he answered the second lady's words.
"Back then, when the situation at home was like this, I promised him. So far, I have sent people to search, but they haven't been found." After saying that, Mr. Sun sighed.
In fact, only the master and the housekeeper in this family knew the whereabouts of the third young master Sun Chunxu. However, because the matter was so closely related and it would be extremely dangerous if it were leaked, Sun Zhicai had no choice but to continue to hide it.
"Master, you should not have agreed to his going in the first place. You said that there has been no news in the past few years, and no letter has been sent home. Whether he is alive or dead... I am worried every day as a mother. "
"Don't worry, he is so old. He can't die." After saying a few words, Mr. Sun lowered his head and continued to write.
After hearing this, the second lady, Mrs. Ma, was about to walk out of the study door in disappointment.
"Luolin is not young anymore. You should worry more. The marriage has been arranged long ago. The Sun family is empty."
"I understand, Master." After answering, the second wife Ma looked at Mr. Sun's busy appearance and said, "Sir, it's New Year's Eve, don't you plan to put down your pen and come out for some fresh air?"
"No. Just play."
Mr. Sun's words seemed to make the second lady Ma feel kind and a little cold.
The second wife, Mrs. Ma, had no choice but to go out and return to the main wife's side, where they lit a fire and started talking together.
"How is it? What did the master say?" Madam He looked at Madam Ma curiously.
The second wife, Ma Shi, shook her head: "I don't know either."
After hearing what the second lady said, the principal lady He's face softened.
"Sister, what do you think Chunxu did? After so many years, no news has been sent to this house. Did something happen?" The second lady, Ma, became a little panicked.
Madame He shook her head: "I don't know. Don't worry, he is such a big man, nothing will happen to him."
"Sister, why are you saying the same thing as the master?" He didn't seem to be in a good mood at all.
"Okay, today is New Year's Eve. Although our Sun Mansion has a small number of people, we can still celebrate the festival."
After saying that, Mrs. Fan looked at her slave: "Go and get the fruits."
"yes."
After the slave left, the two ladies of Sun Mansion began to discuss.
"Sister, where is Luolin now?" Second Lady Ma asked.
"What do you want with him?"
"Just now, Mr. Cai said, let us quickly choose a daughter-in-law for him. You said, Junze is not at home as an official now, and Chunxu's whereabouts are unknown now. The Sun Mansion is empty all day long. It's time to give him a marriage. . Maybe the master hopes so, this Sun Mansion is very lively just now."
Seeing the words of the second wife who she loved like a sister, the first lady He smiled slightly: "He gets up early and stays late all day long. As for what he is busy with, I, a mother, don't know. He should still be in the bedroom now. It's time It’s time to find him a wife.”
"Sister, whose daughter do you think is better to choose? Is it from a rich and powerful family?"
Thinking of Yijin's matter, Madam He frowned.
"Nowadays, the Sun Mansion is not as good as before. I have never been able to offer you an official position. Even if I find someone from a rich and powerful family, I'm afraid I won't agree. In my opinion, as long as you are virtuous, it will be fine."
"You are absolutely right, sister. In this case, I will go take a look and pay a visit tomorrow, and by the way, I can find a virtuous and sensible wife for Luolin."
Hearing what the second lady Ma said, the first lady He smiled and said, "Okay."
At this moment, Yanyang City was still brightly lit, and the streets and alleys were bustling with activity.
Su Mansion seems to be more lively than Sun Mansion.
"This year, Runchen and Yanzhifang are finally round, and only Jinfan and Qingli are left." Su Yunqi said with a smile at the dinner table.
Seeing Mr. Su's face like this, the ladies smiled together.
"After this year is over, hurry up and find a wife for Jinfan, and get your third grandson soon." The third lady, Mrs. Liu, said with a smile.
Seeing that the children of the first wife and the second wife had already married, the third wife, Mrs. Liu, felt very uncomfortable.
"Yes, now that Runchen has an official position in the court, when do you two plan to become officials in the court?"
Mr. Su looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, as if he couldn't wait in his heart.
"Dad, I don't want to be an official." Yanzhi from the second room said.
Knowing that Yanzhi's temperament was a bit stubborn, Mr. Su smiled and said, "If you don't want to be an official, what do you want to do?"
"Dad, I want to be a soldier. For the well-being of the people in the world, I am willing to join the army to protect the people and the Mo Dynasty." Yanzhi said very confidently.
After listening to his son's words, Mr. Su smiled happily: "Okay, Yanzhi can have such an idea, he is indeed a good son of his father. My father agreed, wait until the New Year is over, practice hard, and then he will be ready." Soldier, if you work harder, you will become a general loved by everyone."
After listening to what his father said, Su Yanzhi became excited just thinking about it. He looked at his father Su Yunqi with a look of disbelief: "Dad, do you really agree?"
"As long as you win face for my Su family, there is nothing your father and I can't agree to." Mr. Su Yunqi said with a smile.
"Thank you dad."
Yanzhi was very happy, not because it was his dream to join the army, but because in the Su Mansion, there was a fat lady with a body like a pig.
Although the wife gave birth to a son for the Su family, most of them were forced by the family.
Only when you become a soldier, you rarely return home during the year, and you can still enjoy a life without being talked about.
Hearing Yanzhi's words, the third lady Liu, who was Jinfan's mother-in-law, couldn't stand it any longer. She hurriedly looked at her incompetent son and tried to persuade him.
"Jinfan, did you hear that? Look at your second brother, how promising he is. Don't be idle all day, learn more from your second brother and eldest brother."
"I got it, mother." Jinfan was a little impatient, said a few words and continued to eat.
"Okay. Today is New Year's Eve. It's great that the whole family can have a meal here. When Yanzhi goes to serve as a soldier, we may not be able to see him for a year." Master Su Yunqi said with a smile. .
Listening to Master Su Yunqi's words, the second wife's daughter-in-law on the side was a little reluctant: "Master, if you let him go, what will happen to the child? He hasn't seen his father this year."
After his daughter-in-law's words, Master Su Yunqi looked at Yin Zhu from the second room and the young master from the second room who was holding him beside him. Master Su suddenly couldn't bear to let him go.
"Yanzhi, I don't think you should go. You, stay at home, as long as you don't go out and cause trouble for me. Look at your child more." Su Yunqi said with a slight smile.
"Dad!" Yanzhi was a little reluctant: "My son just wants to be a soldier and become a general. If I don't go, I... will regret it when I grow old."
Yanzhi's words made Su Yunqi a little confused again. Knowing that Yanzhi had a stubborn temper, Master Su Yunqi looked at the second-room daughter-in-law: "Second-room daughter-in-law, that's all, let him go. . When he becomes a general in the future, this child will have a father he can be proud of, don’t you think?"
The second daughter-in-law hesitated for a moment, and Yanzhi looked directly at his wife Yinzhu, hoping that she would agree.
After a long time, the second wife's daughter-in-law finally said, "Okay, then just listen to the master."
Master Su Yun smiled and said nothing, while Yan Zhi on the side smiled from ear to ear.
But they didn't know that at this moment, a row of people in black clothes were staying on the roof of a large house opposite the Su Mansion, talking among themselves.
"Brother, what are you doing now?" A man in black asked.
"There are too many of them. Let's observe and observe first. We will wait until he comes out and walks alone before we take action."
"But he is the son of Prime Minister Zuo. If he knew that his son was killed, wouldn't he order the Manmo Dynasty to search for us?"
"What are you afraid of? Who are we? His slave will come out after this month. If his slave comes out, how can we do anything? Who asked him to kill the consort in the first place?"
