Chapter 863: They are all descendants of my Su family
There was a turmoil in the capital, and the Su family, as a century-old family, was naturally moved by the news.
It's a pity that the Su family has no daughters!
"well!"
Su Zhengyi, the head of the Su family, sighed.
Other aristocratic families have daughters, but the Su family does not.
Not for a few lifetimes!
If you want to go to the palace or be with the third prince, you can't send a girl to have a relationship with you.
The head of the Su family sighed, and then again.
I can't help but think back to those days...
How glorious was the Su family in the past?
They simply don't bother relying on in-laws to consolidate their power and status.
But now, with the sun declining, I want to rely on in-laws, but I can’t rely on them at all...
The head of the Su family was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, looking out the window blankly, feeling a deep sense of exhaustion in his heart.
The Su family has been together for so many years, why haven't they given birth to a daughter?
"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk..."
With the sound of a cane hitting the ground, the old man of the Su family appeared in the sight of the head of the Su family.
The head of the Su family quickly stood up and went out to greet him.
"Old Master, why are you here?"
"Hmph! If I don't come over, the Su family will probably be kicked out of the aristocratic family!" the old man said angrily.
The head of the Su family hesitated.
Immediately, a wry smile appeared on his face.
The head of the Su family helped the old man sit down, and then carefully poured tea for the old man.
How can the old man still think about drinking tea?
A few years ago, he was still calm.
But now it doesn't work.
This autumn, not a single descendant of the huge Su family passed the exam!
Think back to the beginning, how glorious was the Su family with three Jinshi?
The ancestors of the Su family have won the top prize, the second prize, and the top prize...
Therefore, the Su family is famous in Yan for its poetry and calligraphy.
"Send someone to check. Among the people in Qiuwei this time, are there any people with the surname Su who won the exam? How many people are there? What are their results? Origin, place of origin, age, who else is in the family..."
Mrs. Su gave a series of instructions.
The head of the Su family asked hesitantly: "What does the old man mean..."
Old Mrs. Su hated that iron could not become steel, so he glanced at the head of the Su family.
This grandson was his favorite, and he personally cultivated him as his successor for many years.
He handed the entire Su family into his hands.
It's a pity that the grandson who was originally obedient and filial turned out to be a bit mediocre, and he didn't know how to adapt, so he couldn't support the entire Su family.
"Anyone with the surname Su will always be involved in some way. If they are added to the family tree and included in the Su family, they will be the descendants of my Su family!" Mr. Su said in a majestic voice.
And he said it so righteously and confidently, and I didn’t even think it was a bit shameless--forcibly picking the fruits of others!
The head of the Su family looked at Old Mrs. Su with a shocked face. He did not expect that Old Mrs. Su had this idea.
However, when I think about it carefully, it seems that this is the only way to preserve the Su family's reputation as a family that has passed down poetry and calligraphy for centuries.
Fortunately, just including side branches is not too outrageous.
However, Mr. Su added: "If you are talented and well-educated, and your parents are dead, you can be directly included in the family. You can say that you are the direct descendant of our Su family who is living abroad."
The head of the Su family: "..."
stunned.
Three views were refreshed again.
Is it possible that blood inheritance can also be falsified?
"Old Master, is this... okay?" The head of the Su family said hesitantly: "If a scholar agrees to betray his family and join another family, wouldn't his character be worrying?"
Isn’t it more than worrying? It’s simply worse than an animal!
The head of the Su family added in his heart.
Mr. Su said plausibly: "It's ridiculous! We didn't ask him to change his name. How can he be considered as betraying his ancestors? Tracing back to the source, people with the surname Su in the world are originally one family!"
If we have the same ancestors, how can we be considered as betraying our ancestors?
The head of the Su family: "..."
It seems so.
However, I felt like something was wrong.
"In addition, let's see if there are any decent-looking girls in the branch?" Mr. Su added: "If there are, they will all be taken to the main family and raised carefully. In the future, they will either be sent to the palace or to the prince's mansion.
, can all give a boost to the Su family."
As for sending it to other aristocratic families, the Su family disdains it.
Since it is sent, it is natural to send it to the highest place.
After hearing what Mrs. Su said, the head of the Su family felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Is it possible that the Su family can only use this disgusting method?
Although he heard that various aristocratic families were planning on sending their daughter to the third prince, he felt very sorry that the Su family did not have a daughter.
However, that was just being forced into a hurry.
Thinking about it, I didn't really want to do that.
After all, the Su family didn't have a daughter, couldn't he think about it?
But now, the old man actually gave this order...
The head of the Su family closed his eyes.
Then, with a sudden heart, he said: "Grandpa, if you really do that, wouldn't the centuries-old reputation of the Su family be destroyed in one fell swoop? Our Su family will be ridiculed by the world, and we will do whatever it takes to climb up the ladder?"
After hearing what the head of the Su family said, Mr. Su became furious.
The crutch in his hand hit the ground hard, making a "dong dong dong" sound.
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Su said angrily with raised eyebrows: "You still have the nerve to mention the Su family's reputation? Since the Su family was handed over to you, take a look at what the Su family has become now? It's such a big one.
There are hundreds of people in the Su family, how many of them can speak up in court? How many of them have won the imperial examination this autumn?"
Well, not one!
When Mr. Su thought of this, he became even more angry.
"As the head of the family, you can't keep the Su family's reputation from falling, you can't urge the Su family's descendants to become famous, you can't...ahem..."
Before Mrs. Su could finish speaking, he started coughing violently.
Moreover, I was coughing and out of breath.
The head of the Su family was startled.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" The head of the Su family asked eagerly.
At the same time, one hand was beating the old man's back, and the other hand was stroking the old man's heart to calm him down.
Unfortunately, the old lady couldn't stop coughing, and soon his face turned from red to blue.
The head of the Su family was so frightened that he shouted repeatedly: "Come here, go and call the doctor!"
The boy outside the door agreed and quickly ran to ask the doctor in the mansion.
The doctor came and worked in a hurry, giving medicine, giving injections, etc., and finally the old man stopped coughing and regained his breath.
"Okay, I'm fine." The old man waved his hand and signaled the doctor to leave.
The doctor looked at the head of the Su family, his expression somewhat hesitant to speak.
The head of the Su family nodded slightly to the doctor, indicating that he understood.
The doctor carried the medicine box on his back and bowed out.
Mr. Su looked at the head of the Su family and said: "A few years ago, the emperor consecrated a little girl named Su. I think that little girl is now a teenager. You sent someone to find her. After all, she is my Su family.
The child must be recognized as one of the family."
