Su House.

According to the customs of Yunshan Mansion, when the parents pass away, the filial son needs to stay at home for [-] days, and he must wear filial piety clothes and stay at home. Chu Huan stays at home during these [-] days. Although she and Su Niang are already married in name, but during the funeral, no one will mention this matter, let alone consummating the marriage at this time.

As soon as the eighteenth day passed, Su Bo personally invited Chu Huan to the Su Mansion, saying that there was a table of simple tea and light food in the Su Mansion, and he wanted to invite Chu Huan to have a meal.

Chu Huan changed into casual clothes, and then came to the Su Mansion. When he entered the mansion, it was not Lin Lang who greeted him, but Su Zhongyan, the eldest son of the Su family. His son Su Zhen was also beside him, but he lowered his head, looking rather embarrassed .

Besides Su Zhongyan, there was another old man over fifty years old who was also very respectful when he saw Chu Huan.

This meal was not in the lobby, but in a quiet courtyard of the Su Mansion. It was late autumn and the dead leaves were withered. There was already a table of wine and food in the house. Huo Ran is also here.

At this time, Chu Huan had vaguely understood something. Seeing that Lin Lang looked haggard, and Chu Li's family had passed away, although Lin Lang was a womanizer, there were some things that were difficult to show her face, but there was a lot of trouble behind her.

Thinking of marrying Su Niang, and not having made it clear to Lin Lang, Chu Huan felt rather guilty. What's more, he wanted to discuss the marriage with Lin Lang in the near future, but Master Li said that Yunshan's custom, parents are immortal. You, you can't hold a wedding within two years, so if you want to marry Lin Lang, you have to wait until two years at the earliest.

He felt a little heavy in his heart. After everyone sat down facing him, Old Master Su said in a deep voice, "Su Zhen!"

Su Zhen's face was even more ugly, and seeing Su Zhongyan looking at her coldly, Su Zhen had no choice but to take two steps forward, knelt down in front of Chu Huan, and said bravely, "Chu... Master Chu, you have offended Su Zhen so much in the past, and you don’t remember the faults of villains, so please forgive me and forgive me for offending me!"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Brother Su, why is this so? The past is the past, so don't keep it in your heart. As long as there is no relapse in the future, Chu will not keep those trivial things in your heart."

Su Zhongyan said with a face of shame: "Master Chu, I have no way to teach my son, I have offended you so much, please bear with me."

Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "Seventh Uncle is an elder, so Chu Huan can't bear these words." In any case, with Mrs. Su present, Su Zhongyan is also Lin Lang's Seventh Uncle. Huan will not care about them in general.

Old Master Su had already smiled and said, "Your Excellency Chu has a lot of people, I admire you very much."

"My lord, I'm overwhelmed." Chu Huan said with a smile: "In front of my lord, the word 'adult' must never be mentioned. If you mention it again, Chu Huan would not dare to sit here any longer."

Old Master Su laughed and said, "Okay, you are of the same generation as Lin Lang, if you don't mind, how about calling me little friend Chu?"

Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's really an honor for Chu Huan to be friends with my grandfather."

Seeing that Chu Huan was talking decently, Lin Lang showed a slight smile, and said softly, "I am not inviting you to this table of wine today, but Uncle and Uncle Qian are inviting you!" The old man said, "This is Uncle Qian!"

The old man had already cupped his hands and said politely: "Chu Da...!"

"Uncle Qian, even if you call me Chu Huan, don't call me 'Master'!" Chu Huan said immediately.

The old man smiled and said: "How dare you call him by your first name, I will offend you and call you a little friend."

Chu Huan nodded with a smile, and the old man said: "Little old Qian Boyi, today I am lucky to have a drink with my friend at the same table, three lives are lucky!"

At this moment, Chu Huan understood even more that today's table meal must be related to the occupation of land in the northwest by grain. He had already guessed that Lin Lang must have mentioned the thoughts of the Gaolian group in the northwest to Su Zhongyan and the old man Su. For the seven surnames in Xiguan, it was undoubtedly a catastrophe. They were panicked when they thought about it, and they had already learned their identities, so they politely invited them to discuss.

close <ad>

If it weren't for Linlang's relationship, it would be impossible for Chu Huan to intervene in this kind of thing. He has no interest in getting involved in the struggle between the wealthy families in the northwest, but it involves Linlang after all, and Linlang's matter has nothing to do with his own. There is no difference in things, but I still think in my heart that I can't understand what happened today, just point it out.

The table was very big, but there were not many people on it. Except for the old man Su, grandpa and grandpa, only Lin Lang and Qian Boyi were present, and it was very peaceful.

After taking his seat, Su Zhongyan made some polite speeches, Chu Huan just smiled lightly, but Mrs. Su saw that Chu Huan was a cheerful person, and knew that beating around the bush would be clichéd, so he said with a smile: "Little friend Chu, the matter in the northwest, The old man has heard Lin Lang mentioned it, and I will not hide it from little friend Chu, but I invite little friend Chu to come here today, and I still hope that little friend can give some advice."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "My lord, you are being polite. Chu Huan is a junior, with dull aptitude. He has always asked others to give advice, and the ability to give others advice. Chu Huan is really lacking."

Lin Lang glanced at Chu Huan, and said, "Chu..., none of you here today are outsiders. After Uncle knew what Gao Lian and his gang were thinking, he was anxious. If you have any ideas, please speak up quickly."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Grandpa knows Gao Lian's strength better than I do. With the seven surnames in Xiguan at their current level, it is quite difficult to make a comeback."

Grandpa Su and Qian Boyi both nodded slightly, with dignified expressions, Su Zhongyan frowned and said: "The Gao family are really ungrateful people, and Gao Lian is even more... Hmph, they want to kill them all!"

Qian Boyi sighed: "Thinking about the sixteen surnames in the Northwest, I monopolized the seven surnames in Xiguan, and the strength of the seven surnames was at the forefront. At that time, in the Northwest, who would dare to fight against my seven surnames in Xiguan?"

Su Zhen couldn't help but said: "Back then, the Gao family was like a dog of our Su family. Without the support of our Su family, how could the Gao family have the status in the northwest today? What a fucking white-eyed wolf. Find someone to do him!"

Old Master Su had already said in a deep voice: "Shut up, how can you talk here?"

Su Zhen was very afraid of the old man, she bowed her head and dared not speak again.

Chu Huan had already laughed and said: "Brother Su's words are inappropriate, and it's not the Gao family who acted this time, but the two powerful families of Tianshan and Beishan. If you really want to kill people, you can't kill them."

The old man gave Su Zhen a hard look, then smiled and said: "Little friend Chu doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as him. He never thinks about what he says, and he can't say anything good." I am afraid that this is not something that ordinary people can do, so the old man wonders if there is someone connecting them together behind this?"

"Then there is no way to know." Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The old man is well-informed, so I wonder if there is any countermeasure?"

The old man sighed: "A phoenix on the ground is not as good as a chicken. The seven surnames in Xiguan, my Su family and the Qian family's wealth were all looted by Xiliang people, and the only thing left is the land title deed. I think the other surnames are no better. Where are we going? If the imperial court really followed Gao Lian’s thoughts and turned the land deeds in our hands into useless papers, then…!” Shaking his head and sighing, “How can we get along with them in our current situation? fight?"

Su Zhongyan frowned and said: "Lord Chu, would the imperial court really do such an unpopular thing? If so, who would be convinced in Xiguan?"

Lin Lang hadn't spoken at all, but now she sighed quietly: "Seventh Uncle, this is unpopular. It's just the rich people in Xiguan, and the ordinary people in Xiguan Road can't control it. On the contrary, the imperial court really did this, but it was too big for Beishan. , Tianshan Erdao Hao people have the hearts of the people, and the banner they played is to rebuild the northwest and resume production. How can the people understand their ulterior purpose? When the time comes, they will take out grain seeds and cultivate them on the Xiguan Road. Seeing that there is food to grow, I feel that they are kind."

Old Mrs. Su nodded and said, "Lin Lang is right. If the imperial court does not have the energy to rebuild the Northwest, the best way is to let the Northwest build itself. Back then, the seven surnames in Xiguan had strong strength. Not only Xiguan, but even the entire Northwest depended on us. With the support of the Xiguan Taoist family, the imperial court and the government will naturally take good care of us. But today is different from the past, the Xiguan noble family has become a thing of the past, and it is not impossible for the imperial court to sacrifice us in exchange for their high-quality food. .”

Qian Boyi asked: "Young friend Chu, I don't know when will the imperial court promulgate this decree?"

Chu Huan said: "For Gao Lian and the others, the sooner the better. And in my estimation, since they have such thoughts, they will definitely open up a way to Beijing. If there is no accident, the court will not delay This matter."

Su Zhongyan hurriedly asked: "Master Chu is in the Ministry of Household Affairs, should this kind of thing go through the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"This kind of major event is naturally decided by the Ministry of Education." Chu Huan said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs will only promulgate it according to the meaning of the above, or send people to the northwest to implement the matter."

Grandpa Su said solemnly: "Lin Lang also discussed this matter with the old man. After all, Gao Lian's conspiracy was covered with layers of clothes. The premise for them to set foot in Xiguan is that our Xiguan wealthy family cannot produce food seeds. If we can If they take out the grain seeds, they won't be able to get involved, but I don't know if that's the case?"

Chu Huan nodded and said: "That's true." After a pause, he said: "But it's not that they want to wear this layer of clothes, but it's a step for the court. Even if the court doesn't care about the seven surnames in Xiguan today, it's impossible Directly order Gao Lian and the others to enter Xiguan, if Gao Lian and the others bluntly say that they enter directly regardless of the Xiguan rich family, it will make the court dissatisfied, with this layer of clothes, it can make the world feel reasonable."

Qian Boyi smiled wryly and said, "This outer garment is also our last straw!"

Su Zhongyan shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. It's nice to say that as long as we provide food, the land will be preserved, but... where do we get these food? Our seven surnames, which one is not hundreds of thousands of land, If you really want to keep your own land, what kind of grain will you need?"
