Chapter 178 Trivia
Sure enough, that's what the Hou Mansion meant when they asked him to come back.

Cheng Kanghou asked him when was the last time he saw him.Su Nancheng replied that it was four days ago.

"From your point of view, does His Majesty have the intention to become a queen?"

Su Nancheng shook his head: "Probably not. After all, your majesty is at this age now. If you become an empress, you must involve your son. If you are a concubine without heirs, you will definitely not be an empress. Your Majesty... now I don't want to think about the matter of establishing a prince. What's more Empress?"

Cheng Kanghou stroked his beard and nodded, indeed.

"Actually, my aunt is a noble concubine. There is no queen in the palace now. One day... no matter which prince ascends to a high position, he will not dare to treat my aunt harshly." Su Nancheng said.

"You can't say that. The imperial concubine and the empress are so different. I'm afraid that in the future...the empress dowager and the concubine are not the same thing." Su Yingji said.

"What Uncle San said is true." Su Nancheng agreed.

"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long term." Cheng Kanghou sighed: "We don't want to fight, but we are just afraid...there are always many fights in the harem. I am afraid that one day, someone else will come up and want revenge."

Those high-ranking concubines have been fighting for decades.

Who hasn't shot at the opponent?

Now they are all concubines, so of course they can save face.

When someone becomes the empress dowager in the future, why not take revenge?It is inevitable to implicate the mother's family.

Su Nancheng felt bored, and even thought that there might not be such a day?

But he didn't show anything, he just followed their words obediently.

When I came back this time, I also got a piece of news that the fifth son, Su Ningcheng, has now entered the Ministry of Rites and became a junior official from the ninth rank.

Finally, there is an errand.

But compared to Su Yingqu's other sons, it's obvious that his job is not good.

Bad is not good, but there are grades, it is not lost.

It's basic.

It's just to climb up from the ninth rank, but I don't know how many years it will take.

The Hou family has contacts and qualifications, but it is absolutely impossible to promote every child.It is unwise to scatter resources.

It's an odd number for someone like Su Nancheng to climb up fast by himself.

Now Lord Hou and Su Yingqu still have to focus on training Su Jincheng and Sanfang's son.

Originally, there should have been Su Yicheng, but he himself was not up to the task, and now Su Yingqu had lost his mind.

Now that I'm back, of course I want to eat.

Dinner was served in the front yard, and Su Nancheng was with all the elders.

I didn't rush to go back after eating, I wanted to say hello to the old lady and wife.

After coming out, Su Ningcheng invited him to sit in his yard.

"Your sister-in-law is pregnant, so she won't come to see you. We haven't seen each other for a while. I have some good tea here. You should try it." Su Ningcheng said.

Su Nancheng smiled and nodded.

He knew in his heart that Fifth Brother's closeness was nothing more than a relationship.

The two of them are both concubines, and in fact, their relationship has always been good on the surface.

Su Nancheng had a bad life before, and Su Ningcheng still has a sense of superiority towards him.It's just that he's not that flamboyant in temperament.

It seems that they have a good relationship.

Good tea is really good, but it's not uncommon for Su Nancheng to have better tea.

Su Nancheng asked him about the Ministry of Rites.

Among the six parts, in fact, the Ministry of Rites is not necessarily easy to move up.

There are many things that you cannot achieve.I can't see His Majesty either.

However, I will not say this.

In a big family, not everyone can stand out.

"You don't know yet, do you? The old lady's grandniece is probably destined for the tenth brother." Su Ningcheng said.

"The Zhang family is in decline now, right? I'm afraid Sanfang is not willing." The original Zhang family was also a marquis's mansion.

It's just that the children in the family are not up to date, and now there are no one, and the decline is terrible.

Giving his niece and granddaughter to his own grandson as his first wife is also a way to support the Zhang family.

"No matter how unwilling Sanfang is, this matter is also what the old lady wants. As long as grandfather agrees, the third uncle and three aunts have nothing to say." Su Ningcheng said.

Of course, this marriage is not a good one, it is better to marry the child of the eldest lady's family.

Although the eldest lady's family has not yet fallen, at least there is still a father who is released as an official.

There are also struggling brothers.

"I really don't want to, and the third room can't help it. The Zhang family is really not very good." The old lady's nephew is a good-for-nothing who only knows love and lust.The children are also more promising than one.

This family background, not to mention marrying a son from the Duke's family as a wife, even being a concubine, is not close.

"Your marriage is better, seventh brother. After all, His Majesty bestowed the marriage. The Feng family is also a good family." The outsiders didn't know what to say.Anyway, the children of the Su family still envy Su Nancheng very much.

What a great thing to have a good Yue family.

At least it won't hold you back.

Hearing Fifth Brother's words, Su Nancheng suddenly said, "Fifth Brother, is Tenth Brother also unwilling?"

He talked and talked, and revolved around this matter.It's hard not to let Su Nancheng think, maybe the tenth brother told him to say this, right?
"Hey, the tenth brother is definitely not happy. The main reason is that the girl from the Zhang family is not very good-looking. The tenth brother is still young, so he naturally likes prettier ones. He has no choice but to ask the brothers to talk about it. Idea. It's just that we are brothers, how should we say it?" Su Ningcheng shook his head.

"Ordinarily, you shouldn't just look at your appearance when you marry a wife. But Zhang's family name is indeed not a good choice for the tenth brother. In fact, it is easy to solve. The tenth brother is still young, and it will be too late in a few years. Both the eighth and ninth brothers Bigger than him."

In fact, the eighth brother is only one year older, and the ninth brother is only a few months older at the same age.

However, these two children belong to the second family, and the second family is a concubine. Of course, they have no status with the old lady.

Su Ningcheng said: "I'm afraid the old lady won't like this change."

"You have to enter the Su family's door. This is the best way. The third uncle is the son of the eldest son. Although the third house is not as good as ours, it is not bad. The third uncle and the third aunt are just such a son, and they have the same eyes. Actually Grandfather may not nod. You can just tell the tenth brother about it. The eighth and ninth brothers will always be happy. It is good for them."

The bastards are not doing well, especially the bastard's bastards.

He has no status. If he can marry a girl from the Zhang family, the old lady will have to give her a compliment.

The third wife is not happy because he has a chance to marry a better one.But there is always someone willing.

Su Ningcheng nodded, knowing it well.

The next day, Su Nancheng got up early to send his parents-in-law to leave Beijing.

Sending them all the way out of the city, dismounting and saluting to send the group away respectfully.

Feng Xingzhou patted him on the shoulder: "Send Xianxu here. We just need to communicate frequently."

Su Nancheng agreed, and waited for the carriages to leave.

His eldest brother laughed and said, "Let's go, Chiyu, my sister at home is still waiting for Chiyu to take her back. Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and Chiyu is also in a hurry to come."

"Uncle was joking, please, uncle." Su Nancheng said.

The group returned to Feng's house and left after lunch.

At this point, Consummation sent the Feng family elders away.
