"Su Ming pays homage to the head of the Su family." Su Ming, a close subordinate of the head of the Su family, bowed and saluted the head of the Su family.
The small fire hidden in the heart of the head of the Su family suddenly popped out.
"How's it going? Have you found it?" the head of the Su family asked eagerly.
He is anxious! He is too anxious!
His nephew had caused such a big trouble. If the Su family really had a close relationship with his family, he might be able to save the plaque on his door.
The head of the Su family even hoped that Old Man Su was the illegitimate son of his father who was living abroad.
In that case, the fifth son of the Su family would be his nephew.
It has to be said that in order to maintain the prestige of the Su family as a century-old scholarly family, the head of the Su family no longer minds having multiple brothers come to divide the family property with him.
After all, the Su family was defeated at his hands, and even the imperial plaque could not be saved. After his death, he was too embarrassed to see the ancestors of the Su family.
"As for the master, the ancestral home of the Su family is not Fengqi County, but they moved there with his mother more than 40 years ago." Su Ming replied.
"Do you know his father's name? Where is his ancestral home?" The head of the Su family continued to ask eagerly.
Su Ming couldn't help but be a little confused when he saw that the family leader was so anxious.
However, he replied: "Master, after returning home, my subordinates secretly inquired for a long time, and then found out that his father's name is Su Wenqing, and his ancestral home may be in... the capital."
At the end of the sentence, Su Ming's tone was a little uncertain.
The head of the Su family frowned and thought.
Su Wenqing?
Does this name sound familiar?
According to the seniority of the Su family, the character "Wen" is the character of my father's generation...
The head of the Su family felt a little disappointed.
It seems that this Su family is not the bloodline of his father who lived abroad.
However, since the sorted words are the same, it cannot be said to be a side branch...
The head of the Su family was thinking, and Su Zhengyan asked: "Why is it possible that the ancestral home is in the capital?"
"Back to the Sixteenth Master, no one in the entire Daliushu Village knows where the Su family's ancestral home is. They only know that it is in the north." Su Ming replied: "Later, my subordinates found out at a horse and carriage shop in the county town.
, In the past few years, the head of the Su family would go to the carriage house to hire a carriage and go to the capital every few years before the Qingming Festival..."
Obviously, every time it is before the Qingming Festival, I am afraid that the possibility of returning to my hometown to sweep the tomb is relatively high.
Su Zhengyan's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Where is the carriage driver? Do you know where he went to the capital?"
Su Ming showed a hint of helplessness on his face and said: "Every time he comes to the capital, he always asks the same coachman to drive him. That coachman... passed away two years ago."
Su Zhengyan: "..."
The head of the Su family: "..."
It was like being splashed with cold water.
Su Yurui scratched his head and suddenly said: "Uncle, this Su Wenqing has the same name as the one on the tombstone in our ancestral grave..."
The head of the Su family: "..."
It was like an enlightenment, and I suddenly thought about it.
I had an uncle who passed away before getting married, and his name was that.
However, this uncle was a bastard and had no heirs, so he didn't think of it for a while.
The head of the Su family looked at Su Zhengyan, and Su Zhengyan also looked at the head of the Su family.
The two brothers saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
Could it be that... the people of the Su family in Fengqi County are the bloodline of this uncle who lived abroad?
At this time, Su Ming also had some thoughts.
"Master, my subordinates heard that the coachman's son came to the capital a few days ago to deliver goods..."
"Find his son immediately! Ask his son if he has heard his father mention where the head of the Su family goes every time he comes to the capital!" The head of the Su family ordered directly without waiting for Su Ming to finish.
"I obey my orders!"
Su Ming agreed and went to find someone immediately without having time to rest.
At this time, a servant walked in holding a seven-foot-long iron ruler in his hand.
When Su Yurui saw it, his face changed drastically, and he knelt down with a "pop" in fear.
"Uncle, I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time..."
"Spare you?" The head of the Su family said angrily: "You have lost the Su family's imperial plaque and century-old reputation. How can I spare you?!"
After saying that, he took the iron ruler and whipped it at Su Yurui.
Su Yurui screamed in pain and almost jumped up.
However, before he could jump up, the head of the Su family swung the ruler down again.
Su Zhengyan was startled.
However, thinking about the news he just heard, he also felt that Su Yurui should be beaten, and beaten hard.
Therefore, I did not intercede with Su Yurui.
As a result, Su Yurui's screams of ghosts crying and wolves howling sounded in the house, and soon spread throughout the Su family.
**
The head of the Su family stood in front of Princess Fudou's mansion, looking at the majestic and domineering plaque on it, with a complex look on his face.
It would be great if this little girl were our own child!
"Brother, this little princess clearly wants to provoke Yu Rui into making a bet. It's probably useless for us to come here this time." Su Zhengyan said with a bitter look on his face.
"Even if it's useless, the Su family's reputation is at stake, so we must make this trip." The head of the Su family said in a difficult voice.
Isn't it that he has no idea?
But, you have to give it a try anyway, right?
"Uncle, since we know it's useless, why should we bring trouble to ourselves?" Su Yurui endured the pain in her body and said with a grin: "That little girl's movies are bad and she might blackmail us again. We were tricked by her back then.
Ten thousand taels of silver..."
"Shut up! Isn't it all your fault?" the head of the Su family yelled angrily.
If this wasn't his own nephew and his brother was no longer here, he really wanted to just beat this nephew to death.
Su Yurui shrank his neck, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, he plucked up the courage and said with some disbelief: "Uncle, even if we come to cancel the bet, we should wait until Chunwei's results are released before we come back."
When Su Yurui saw that the head of the Su family was silent, he thought it was a joke and continued to try to persuade the head of the Su family.
"Uncle, think about it, even if the fifth child of the Su family is good at knowledge, but luck is also important in exams, maybe he will fail in this exam? For example, if he catches wind and cold, gets sick, has a fever..."
Following Su Yurui's words, the head of the Su family didn't want to admit that he actually had this idea in his heart.
After all, there are many surprises in scientific examinations.
But he can't afford to gamble!
If the bet is canceled now, even if the family loses, not only can they keep the imperial plaque, but they can also save some reputation.
If we really wait until the results come out, there will be so many people in the Su family, not even one Su Wuhu has passed the exam, and they will lose the bet...
The head of the Su family couldn't imagine the consequences.
Su Yurui looked at the head of the Su family, still silent, and felt more and more that her uncle was tempted by what she said.
So, he continued: "Furthermore, his family might be related to our family and be a side branch of the concubine. In that case, when Su Ming gets the exact information, we will incorporate their family into the clan. There is no way they will be very serious.
Thank you very much for our..."
The more Su Yurui talked, the more proud she became, and she couldn't help but start squealing again.
The head of the Su family looked at his nephew like an idiot.
"Grateful?" The head of the Su family sneered and said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "We are the ones who begged them to be included in the family tree, but they didn't agree!"
