Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 167 Family Field
"Today is for you, so let's go to your uncle's house for a banquet!" One of the clan uncles suggested to Su Wenqing.

"It's such a shame, junior! I was supposed to visit when I came back yesterday, but it's too rude to go all the way. Today, the mansion has prepared a banquet, and I'm going to invite you, and you just happened to come." Su Wenqing said hastily. .

"I would like to invite you all to honor me and eat at the house, so that the younger generation can do their part."

What are the virtues of these tribesmen, how does Su Wenqing know?It is said that it is to clean up the dust for them, but it is actually just polite words.

"Alright! The old house is spacious, let's go with Cheng Yuan!"

Um?Didn't you mean to clean them up?How did it become their treat?
Su Yizhao glanced at Su Wenqing, this cheap dad only came back in the afternoon, and he didn't know if he ordered the big kitchen to prepare meals.

"Master! But is the banquet ready? It's ready!" Uncle Zhong came over at this time and asked softly.

Su Wenqing nodded, then turned her head and said to several clansmen: "I have already sent people to invite the family members, let's wait for a while, and when everyone is here, we will hold a banquet."

Want to invite family members?That's not ten or twenty tables?
Su Yizhao did the math, and heard that there are three houses in total, which can be regarded as close, and there are many side branches that have not paid for five clothes.In ancient times, there was no family planning, so one family had dozens of people, right?
I don't know when Su Wenqing gave the order, but Uncle Zhong was capable, and a total of fourteen tables were set up.

There is no room for the side hall, even the main hall.

She was not familiar with the place, and Su Yizhao's identity was just a bastard, so she was a bit unpopular, so she ate quietly, and no one bothered her.

"This time, I chose an auspicious day for worshiping the ancestors, and it will be twenty days later. At that time, you also finished the provincial examination. If you pass, you have to open the ancestral hall. Why don't you go together, it's so convenient."

Su Yizhao immediately pricked up her ears. When she returned to her ancestral home this time, she went back to worship her ancestors, and recorded her name on the genealogy by the way.

The ancestral hall of the Su family's old house is the ancestral hall, and there are several generations of ancestral tablets inside, not the small ancestral hall in the capital.

"Everything is up to your arrangement!" Su Wenqing was very docile, a little more reserved than in front of Su Jinxun.

Su Yizhao heard from their conversation that Su Jinxun's father's branch was originally the head of the direct line, but later Su Jinxun's branch and the other side branch wanted to stay in the capital to develop, so the patriarch invited the second uncle to come here. Yimai, as the acting patriarch, manages the affairs of the clan.

In other words, this second uncle does not have the name of patriarch, but has the power of patriarch.

However, Su Yizhao and the others are now living in the original ancestral house, and only the head of the lineage can live in the ancestral house, even if they are acting patriarchs, they do not have this right.

Su Yizhao listened to the movement of the table with his ears upright, while tasting the delicacies in front of him.

The cooks in this old mansion are very skilled!Fourteen tables of banquets, the dishes can be so exquisite.

Suddenly a scorching gaze fell on her, Su Yizhao looked up, and found that it was a child with long horns, who was about her age.

The other party was looking at her curiously, seeing her looking over, he immediately looked away.

Yo?Still shy?

There are four children sitting at this table, and several teenagers, this is to put myself and the juniors together.

The teenagers were not interested in those who were younger than themselves, and they all talked about interesting things in ethnology.

The other two little ones had their mouths full of oil, and they were curious about themselves at the beginning, and then they were attracted by the delicious food.

Only this child, peeking at her from time to time.

Su Yizhao took a look at the child's attire. It was different from the young man's attire. Instead, it was a half-worn navy blue muslin double-breasted gown.

Noticing this, Su Yizhao scanned the hall and found several tables with similar clothes.

It can be seen that not all the clansmen live well, and some live in poverty.

However, since this child sat at the same table as him, he should be a side branch not far away.

"Yizhao! I heard that the capital is very big, and there are delicious and interesting things in the city! Can you tell us about it?"

One of the teenagers suddenly poked Su Yizhao's elbow and asked curiously.

Su Yizhao quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Actually, our Beiyuan Prefecture is also very prosperous, and it's no worse than the capital city, but there are some beautiful scenery in the capital city."

Su Yizhao picked out a few scenic spots and said that they were not bad, which attracted other teenagers and children to gather here.

"Is there anything delicious in the capital?" A little chubby asked curiously.

“There are a lot of delicious food, the roast duck is the first”

Su Yizhao introduced the delicacies of the capital to satisfy everyone's curiosity.

In just a short time, I became familiar with these young people.

"I heard that the imperial palace is very big! How big is it? Is it as big as our Su family?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle, and even the adults on the side table looked towards this side.

"The imperial palace cannot be described as big, but majestic. I have only seen it from a distance, and ordinary people can't get close."

This is ancient times, the imperial palace is not the existence that collects tickets like in the previous life, how can it be approached if it is not an official?

Before reaching the palace gate, he had to be driven away by the guards.

"You bastard is a good teacher. However, it is not our Su family's family tradition to value concubines over concubines. The root cause of family disasters is often the indiscrimination between concubines and concubines. You have to be measured!"

The second old man glanced at Su Yizhao's table, and seeing that Su Yizhao spoke well and gracefully, he couldn't help frowning.

"Xiaoqi is talented and intelligent, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Now that the son-in-law is studying abroad, he couldn't bring him with him."

The matter of Su Yiliang's falling from the horse was still hidden from the family, Su Wenqing did not disclose it, but he also explained the reason why he did not bring his son-in-law with him to teach him.

Su Yizhao just wanted to haha, it seems that nowadays the concubine is really harsh!
Su Yizhao opened the red envelope he received just now, but it only cost twenty coppers.

Originally, she thought that the people of the tribe guarded the ancestral land and life was difficult, so she didn't think anything of it.But thinking about it now, it turned out that it was because of her status as a bastard.

After all, in a big family, if you tip a servant casually, that's the amount.

Only then did the second old man loosen his frowning brows, and began to talk about clan affairs.

"Our Beiyuan Mansion was also affected by the drought last year. The production of the fields decreased, and it was difficult to balance the income and expenditure of the clan. I mentioned to your father in a letter earlier, what is your father's plan, and you returned to your hometown this time, but I asked you to bring a message ?”

Actually asking for money in front of so many people?Su Yizhao was very surprised.

Su Wenqing's face darkened slightly, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Before my nephew came back, my father did mention it. He did the math, the family farm has a total of [-] mu, even if the production is reduced, it will not be enough for the family!"
