My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 565 My son is a hero
Ding'an has experienced several years of great governance. The foundation of governance laid by Xun Yu has made the city's population jump from tens of thousands to 160,000. The city walls have been expanded outward twice.

A post road has also been specially built in the city for emergency information. Now you can go straight back to the Su Mansion without the crowds on the street.

From a distance, he saw his father Su Congfang leaning on a cane and being supported by his mother Xiao Wei, with a large family standing behind him.

Among the crowd, Su Chen also saw a familiar figure holding a child in the crowd.

It's Jiang Wan and her daughter Su Ying.

It seems that during this period, my mother used some method to get the two of them into the house, but this was good, so that the mother and daughter would not have to live alone in that small house and something would happen. No one reached out to help.

In front of the gate of Su Mansion, the old woman looked forward to seeing her son's honor guard entering the street outside her home. She grabbed Su Congfang and grinned in excitement.

The old woman is older than before, and her face is full of wrinkles when she smiles.

Su Congfang stood next to his old wife like a foil, but when he saw Su Chen getting off the carriage, his old face was no less wrinkled than his old wife's.

Thirteen was also in the crowd. This time Su Chen came back and found that he had gained weight.

Xiao Wei took the willow branch unceremoniously and brushed it carefully over the two of them. However, the name "Fat Xu" made Xu Chu's eyes almost pop out of his sockets.

This is treating them as one’s own.

Sister-in-law Yin Suhuan took the willow branch from Chunmei and handed it to her mother-in-law gently. The old woman waved it up and down Su Chenzhou's body deftly.

Su Chen just came back from the battlefield, where corpses were everywhere. Before entering the house, he always wanted to sweep away any bad luck.

"Mom, at your age, you should stop drinking!"

"Su Huan, get the willow branches quickly!" Xiao Wei asked Su Chen's sister-in-law Yin Suhuan to bring over the willow branches and the brazier that had been prepared earlier.

"Chen'er, you didn't eat on the way back, did you? Mom has asked the chef to prepare it. Come sit in the front hall for a while. The banquet will start soon."

Holding her mother's hand, Su Chen walked into the central hall of the front yard, joking with her. The round table for the banquet had been laid out. Lu Bu and others took their seats in the side hall to rest for the time being.

"General Dian, you are bigger than Fatty Xu, so you need to scan more!"

It just looks more sloppy.

"Why are you staring? Wait a minute. I and General Xu will have another glass of wine!"

Immediately, he called Lu Bu and others over again. The old woman was very familiar with these generals. She didn't have the slightest polite tone, but Lu Bu and others were very useful to her.

Several pretty maids brought tea to wait on them, while Su Chen, her parents, her eldest and second brothers, as well as Su Ting and Shi San were having family time in the middle hall.

"Third brother, the news has come back. Those Western barbarians really chopped off all their heads and left no one alive?" Su Ting is not young. He also got married last year. Among his relatives, he has the highest status. .

Then he happily led his whole family into the Su Mansion, chatting and laughing along the way, which was quite lively.

"From now on, I'll leave these things to my eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law. Don't do everything yourself. You're not young anymore."

Su Chen smiled and stepped over the brazier. When Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others were about to follow him, Su Chen turned his head and came back. He helped his chattering mother to his side, greeted his eldest and second brothers, and then his eyes fell on Jiang Wan who was behind the crowd. The mother and daughter quietly blinked at Su Ying, who was still a few years old.

"Of course none of them will be left behind. These guys are eating people, so what are you doing here?" Su Chen didn't hide anything. Anyway, the war in the Western Region was over, so there was no need to keep it a secret. It was just a conversation piece, and it didn't hurt to tell the family.

"They are so barbaric in the West? They actually use people as food." Su Yong put down his two-year-old son, "This time, we will suffer heavy casualties, right?"

"Not big." Su Chen smiled, put down the teacup, and glanced at Su Congfang's worried eyes next to him, "This group of Western barbarians basically walked on foot, and were beaten by several generals under my command, using the technique of tiring the army. , first wear down their physical strength, and then slowly take care of it.”

Su Lie praised this style of play and then raised his chin towards his elder brother Su Yong.

"I said before that the generals under Third Brother's command will definitely have a way to deal with this group of barbarians. How about that? I guess I was right."

The family chatted and laughed around the Western barbarians. Soon, the food was prepared in the kitchen. The Su family sat at a table. Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Qin Qiong, and Ma Chao also gathered around the circle and took their seats in the middle hall. Even the Lieutenant General also A few people came and sat with relatives of the Su family.

The atmosphere at the banquet was lively, and everyone didn't admit it. After all, this kind of scene happens once a year. Generals from the army often come to Su's house, and everyone is very familiar with it.

After noon, the banquet was coming to an end. After having a good meal and drink, the military generals were arranged to stay in the side rooms of the mansion in twos and threes. Su Chen also took his father Su Congfang to the pond in the atrium for a walk to eat.

"Are you tired of being an emperor?"

The old man broke his leg in the first half of the year and is still not very good at walking. In addition to his age, he can't walk very slowly even with a cane.

"To say I'm not tired is a lie."

In front of his father, Su Chen didn't say so many false words. He took the old man's hand and walked out of the corridor, and sat down on a stone by the pool.

Looking at his father who was beating his knees, Su Chen asked with a smile: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"My father never became an emperor, so he became the Supreme Emperor first. I'm curious and want to ask." Su Congfang also joked.

After a moment, he sighed: "You are the most misguided father in my life."

"Make a mistake? It's an underestimate."

"When I say you are mistaken, you are mistaken." Perhaps the older a person is, the more childish he becomes. Su Congfang patted her knees twice, "Your brother Su Yong is gentle and honest, and he is upright. He can see through it at a glance; there is nothing wrong with your second brother. Block it, and a intestine leads to the end.

And you, a bastard, just idle on the street, hanging out with people from all walks of life all day long. Sometimes, as a father, I just think, this might be the case with the Su family.

Unexpectedly, among the three sons, the most troublesome and least favored one actually conquered the world and became the emperor. I, the old man, suddenly became the overlord.

It is truly a dream that I have not dared to dream for several lifetimes, but it has actually come true in the hands of my son. "

Su Congfang let out a long breath and looked at the rippling water, "Chen'er, do you think my father is a loser? The family was not guarded well, and the Marquis was almost lost. He had a knife on his neck, but he didn't dare to resist. , without you, the Su family would have been broken up from that day on. "

Su Chen stayed silently beside the old man. He picked up a stone and gently threw it into the pool, making a 'dong' sound.

"Under your wings, children don't have to grow up through hardships. In my eyes, dad is the greatest."

Immediately, Su Chen also asked: "What does dad think of me?"

"You? You bastard!"

Su Congfang laughed while leaning on her cane. After laughing a few times, her laughter gradually subsided. He looked at the pond in a daze and sighed softly with a smile still on his face.

"My son...he is a hero!"

"Haha, my kid feels the same way!"

Su Chen held her father's shoulders and sat together on the rocks by the pool, basking in the winter sunshine and laughing loudly.
