good wife

Chapter 18 Brothers and Sisters
Su Wei trembled when he heard this, and looked at Jingyi intently, as if trying to see through her thoughts.Su Wei couldn't figure it out. Where did a seven-year-old child come from with such a deep thought and such a quick mind?
The old man just laughed when he heard this: "Okay, okay, the child of my Su family is really smart!"

At this time, Su Wei thought carefully, he was a general who made countless military exploits, and later, when the war subsided, he was named Pingnan Marquis, and he was also named Cong Yipin Minister of the Ministry of War.It can be said to be of high weight!Right now, the emperor is at the peak of spring and autumn, and he has not yet established a crown prince, but there are already faint disputes between various factions inside and outside the court.I have always been trusted by the emperor, so I have never joined any faction, I am afraid that the emperor also knows.That's why the emperor has always trusted him so much.It seems that this incident, as Jingyi said, was carefully arranged by someone more 'powerful' than herself.

After Su Wei figured out this link, he stopped worrying and became much more relaxed.He looked at the old man, who was looking at him with a smile.Su Wei was taken aback. It seemed that his father had already seen this layer, which is why he was like this.

The old man smiled and said: "It's not a bad thing to let him leave the official career, at least it can save his life. You and the second child are both in important positions, and there must be someone who is a commoner, so that people can rest assured."

Su Wei's eyes flickered, and he understood who the old man was talking about.

Jing Yi said with a smile: "Grandpa, didn't you teach us that it is a blessing in disguise?"

After hearing this, the old man and Su Wei both looked at Jingyi in unison, this child is really smart!The two of them vaguely felt that what the child said today meant something, but they deliberately refused to say it clearly.But after all, he is just a child, can he really have such great wisdom?

The old man touched Jingyi's head with his hand and said: "Our Yiyi has grown up. Weier, our Su family's daughter must not only know how to be a female celebrity, let her and her brother go to class together from today on!"

Su Wei agreed naturally, which is exactly what he wanted to say.

A few days later, news came back from Shandong that Su Cheng was dismissed and all his properties in Shandong were confiscated, and he was barred from entering the court for life as an official.Su Wei sent people to Shandong, intending to bring his family back.

Although the old lady was displeased, there was nothing she could do.Who let his son be caught by others?I am grateful to God for not being sentenced to exile.I only hope that I can come back to reunite with her soon, so I feel at ease.

As soon as someone was sent to pick up Su Cheng, another news came.It turned out that Su Qing and his uncle Gu Wen went back to Beijing together. After the two entered Beijing, they went directly to the palace to face the saint.

Mrs. Gu walked around the house in a hurry, Su Wei couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded: "Madam, don't worry, I have already sent someone to pick up at the gate of the palace. After leaving the palace, I will go back to the mansion immediately. You just Just rest assured."

Gu Shi nodded, but sat down but still looked outside the house from time to time.

After a while, a boy's voice came from the yard: "Waiting for you, madam, great joy, great joy!"

Several people came out of the house, and saw a young man running to kneel down and said: "Congratulations to the Marquis and Madam. The eldest son has made great achievements in killing the enemy in the field, and the emperor specially ordered the eldest son to be the forward of the sixth rank." school!"

This news was like a thunderstorm, causing a huge shock in the Hou Mansion!Su Wei hurriedly sent someone to invite the old man and the old lady to the hall.Gu Shi, on the other hand, was still immersed in the phrase 'Go to the field to kill the enemy and make achievements in battle', and hadn't woken up yet.

Jingyi pushed slightly, "Mother, mother!"

Gu Shi came back to her senses, took Jingyi's hand and said, "Yiyi, did you hear that just now? Did I hear you right?"

Jingyi smiled and said: "Isn't mother too happy? Mother heard correctly, elder brother is indeed an official."

Gu's brows were deeply furrowed, how could there be any smile?Jingyi saw something was wrong, and said lightly: "Mother, is there any discomfort?"

Gu Shi shook her head, took Jingyi's hand and went to the hall.

The hall was already buzzing with people.Especially the old man, the smile on his face did not fade for a long time, which showed how proud he was.

The old lady was relatively quiet, although she had a smile on her face, but it didn't reach her eyes, she didn't seem to be genuinely happy for Su Qing.Jingyi was too lazy to think too much, after all, she was not her own grandson, so it would be good if she didn't make trouble.

The old man said loudly: "Wei'er, is this right? Are you sure that someone is spreading rumors?"

Su Wei nodded and said: "Someone in the palace just sent a message that the imperial decree and the emperor's reward are already on the way. It is estimated that they will enter the mansion with Qing'er."

The old man nodded, and when he mentioned the eldest grandson, his eyes were full of doting and pride!

Su Ming also had a look of joy, his excitement was beyond words.

Su Wei said to Su Ming and Su Qian: "You two have to study hard, and you can be as successful as your elder brother in the future. Father only hopes that the three of you will care for each other, so as to preserve the foundation and reputation of my Su family."

Su Ming and Su Qian hurriedly responded respectfully and stood aside.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a young servant came to pass the word, saying that the father-in-law in the palace was almost at the door.After hearing this, everyone hurriedly got up and went out to meet them.

Su Qing and her father-in-law arrived at the gate of the mansion together.Su Wei invited Chuanzhi's father-in-law into the flower hall and prepared good tea.The father-in-law drank a cup of tea, looked at the incense case that had been prepared, and said, "Master Su, please accept the order."

After saying this, he took the imperial decree from the eunuch next to him, and everyone knelt down.The father-in-law began to read the imperial decree: "By God's fortune, the emperor said: Here is Su Qing, the son of Pingnan Houfu, who is courageous, resourceful, and courageous. He has helped the great general many times to put down the rebellion. He is really a talent of ours. Today, Su Qing is conferred the title of the Sixth Rank Frontier School, with a reward of one hundred taels of gold and one hundred hectares of fertile land. Marquis Su Wei of Pingnan and his wife, Mrs. Gu, have taught their children well, with special rewards of thousands of taels of silver, fifty pieces of silk and satin, ten dendrobiums of pearls, and one night pearl . This is it.”

Everyone kowtowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Su Wei ordered someone to hand over a bank note to the father-in-law who passed the decree, and the father-in-law took a look and accepted it.He smiled and said: "Congratulations, Lord Hou, congratulations to Lord Hou! This is unheard of for a 12-year-old sixth-rank official, which shows how much the emperor has favored the Su family!"

Su Wei clasped his fists hurriedly and said, "I hope my father-in-law can say a few nice words." He winked at the butler again, and the butler understood, and presented him with a package of high-quality Dahongpao.

The father-in-law accepted it with a smile, said some polite words, and then got up to leave.

Su Qing stood in the middle of the hall, straightened her hair and crown, lifted her robe lightly and knelt down, saying, "Qing'er is not filial. He failed to be filial to his grandparents and parents. Please accept Qing'er's three respects!"

After finishing speaking, Su Qing bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.After the ceremony, the old man stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Good boy! The son of my Su family should be like this!"
