After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 376 Don't Be Extravagant

Taifu Ye called Su Chongjiu to come forward, "Son, come here, let great-grandfather see clearly."

Su Chongjiu obediently stepped forward and called "Grandfather".

The butler was shocked!

Is this child the young master's son?

Then why did he call the young master "Uncle Ye?"

Could it be that the deceased master had an illegitimate child outside?
No wonder the butler immediately thought of Ye Yuan's father, because he didn't expect that Su Chongjiu would call Ye Taifu "Grandfather" but refused to call Ye Yuan "Father."

Taifu Ye gently stroked Su Chongjiu's head, "Son, can you study now? What have you learned?"

Su Chongjiu said:

"After the new year, I will go to Wenhua Hall to study with Qingyu Qingheng, but the few of us only take the morning class, and we will learn martial arts from our master in the afternoon.

Shizu is Aunt Qu's master, and Aunt Qu said he was a very powerful person.

But I can read a lot of words..."

Su Chongjiu was lively, bold, and spoke clearly to Mrs. Ye one by one.

However, he wisely didn't tell Mrs. Ye that he learned how to make poison from Su Yingxue.

Sure enough, he is a smart and bold child!
Taifu Ye liked it more and more, he looked at Ning Youbei, "Emperor Brother, I beg you one thing."

Ning Youbei knew what Ye Taifu was going to say, so he said quickly:

"Teacher, I know what you're going to say. It's not that I don't promise you, it's that I can't do it. If I go and talk to Master Su, I'm afraid we won't be able to see Chong Jiu in the future."

Ye Yu'an also told Mrs. Ye about Su Yingxue and Su Chongjiu's situation. Mrs. Ye knew that it was not easy for Su Chongjiu to recognize his ancestors, but he really liked Chongjiu very much.

Ning Youbei was afraid that Taifu Ye would say something more, so he added: "Let Chong Jiu have more sons, and adopt one of them to Ye's family."

Taifu Ye didn't like this proposal, but he also knew that now was not a good time for Chongjiu to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan.

Taifu Ye asked Su Chongjiu again, "Why did you choose the name 'Chongjiu'? What can you say?"

Su Chongjiu said: "I was born on the ninth day of September, hence the name 'Chongjiu'."

Lunch is served in Yefu.

Although Ye Yu'an hadn't seen Su Chongjiu many times, he knew his food preferences clearly.Half of the lunch is what Su Chongjiu likes to eat.

Mrs. Ye's rule is "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep", but he couldn't bear the presence of the lively Su Chongjiu, and the meal was very lively.

After eating, Mrs. Ye saw that Ning Qingyu was gently wiping Ning Qingheng's hands with a wet towel, and praised: "This child is not bad!"

Ning Youbei said: "This kid looks like Ah Chu, he doesn't like to talk, but he has a very good temper."

Su Chongjiu said from the side: "Master said, Aunt Qu was not like brother Qingyu when she was young, Aunt Qu was quite skinny when she was young."

Taifu Ye originally wanted to talk to Ning Youbei about "Qu Chu killed too much", but seeing that Su Chongjiu and Qu Chu were very close, he decided to wait until he met Qu Chu himself.

After the meal, Ning Youbei took his three children to leave.

Taifu Ye asked the housekeeper to pick out three excellent sets of "pen, ink, paper and inkstone" and school supplies such as paperweights, pen holders, and pen holders for the three children.

There are several great Confucian scholars in the Ye family ancestors, and the most indispensable thing is the Four Treasures of the Study.The objects that Taifu Ye gave to the three children were not even in the Chu Palace.

Before leaving, Su Chongjiu said to Mrs. Ye affectionately, "Grandfather, if I have time, I will come to see you again."

Mrs. Ye happily agreed.

Ning Youbei didn't reveal it. Among the children, Su Chongjiu was the best at drawing big cakes. He didn't know when he would be free.

Su Chongjiu put on the peacock cloak under the service of his servants. Mrs. Ye hadn't seen it before, but now she saw him and wanted to say a few words, thinking that it was the first time Su Chongjiu came to Ye's mansion, so she endured it.

But when Ning Qingheng put on the Firefox cloak, Mrs. Ye finally couldn't hold back and said to Ning Youbei:
"The Dayu Kingdom is not yet rich, so remember not to develop a style of extravagance. If you have money, you should use it more on the people."

Ning Youbei knew what Taifu Ye meant, but he didn't argue that the two children's luxury clothes were not bought by him, but he honestly admitted his mistake.

After the people left, Ye Taifu said to Ye Yu'an: "Yu'an, Chongjiu is such a good child, you must find a way to make him recognize his ancestors."

Ye Yu'an said: "Grandfather, Chongjiu's mother won't agree."

"Then you just think of a way? People always come up with the way."

After Ning Youbei and the others returned to Chu Palace, Su Yingxue asked what happened in Ye Mansion.

Ning Youbei said: "Master Ye said that Chongjiu's peacock cloak is too extravagant."

Su Yingxue curled her lips and said nothing.

……

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Princess Anping came to the Chu Palace.

She was discussing with Su Yingxue about hosting a half-year-old banquet for Deng Huaning.

All the nobles in Yudu City knew about Su Yingxue and Deng Mingyu, but no one dared to say it in front of Princess Anping.

Su Yingxue is unwilling to marry Deng Mingyu to abide by the rules of the eldest princess's mansion, but Deng Huaning cannot remain without status.

Before the new year, Princess Anping specially went to the palace to ask the emperor to give Deng Huaning a reward.

Now that Deng Mingyu is still the prince of Jianjian, how long will Deng Huaning have to wait to inherit the title of Jianjian?
The emperor didn't make it difficult for Princess Anping, and for Su Yingxue's sake, he conferred the title of first-rank viscount to Deng Huaning.

This is a great reward.

If the princess married only an ordinary person, then the son of the princess would have no title or official position, but they would usually ask for favors for their children.

As long as the relationship with the emperor is good, the emperor will usually give rewards to the children of the princess, but usually they are vacant positions of the third to fifth ranks. There is only one person like Princess Anping who can invite a first-rank viscount for her grandson.

Princess Anping happily thanked her for the reward, but in fact she still had some regrets in her heart: Deng Huaning's title was not as high as that of his elder brother Su Chongjiu.

But Princess Anping knew that she couldn't force it. After all, Su Chongjiu was rewarded as Qing Ningbo because Su Yingxue saved the emperor's life.

Unlike now, she has no credit at all, but the emperor allowed her because of his past affection.

And Princess Anping also understands: part of the reason why the emperor honored Deng Huaning was because of Su Yingxue.

After receiving the emperor's favor, Princess Anping officially recorded Deng Huaning in the Deng family's genealogy.

It happened that the seventeenth day of the first lunar month was Deng Huaning's half-year-old birthday, and Princess Anping wanted to take advantage of this time to officially disclose Deng Huaning's identity to the public.

After listening to Princess Anping explain her intentions, Su Yingxue didn't object, she only said that she would not attend the half-year-old banquet.

After accidentally becoming pregnant with Deng Huaning, Su Yingxue knew that the child was going back to the Deng family, so Su Yingxue was prepared for any request from Princess Anping.

And Princess Anping is also a smart person, knowing that Su Yingxue is not someone she can handle at will, and she has a sense of proportion in her actions.
