The people in Sujia Village were confused. Their ancestors had lived in a remote mountain village for generations. They all knew about the emperor and the queen, but who had seen them?
What happened to a house that was about to fall apart and a vicious old woman like an old pious woman in more than a year?
The queen comes in person and the imperial edict is delivered to your doorstep!
Never dreamed of doing this!
After receiving the news, Su Deyan was even more panicked than them. He sat at home and thought hard for a long time, then got up and walked out heavily.
At the door of an inconspicuous house in Sujiazhuang, Su Deyan hesitated and did not go in.
The door opened, and the little girl respectfully said, "Second uncle, grandpa, please come in and talk."
"Ling Niang, how is your grandfather these days?" Su Deyan asked with his head slightly lowered.
Su Ling nodded: "My grandfather has been raising me for a while and is getting better. Second uncle, please invite me."
Su Deyan stepped into the house, gently clenching and unclenching the hands in his sleeves, looking at the deserted yard, sighing silently in his heart.
There are three main rooms and two wing rooms in the east and west. The yard is very clean and filled with a faint aroma of herbs. There is also a hint of bitter tea in the herbal aroma.
Standing outside the main door, Su Deyan held his hands in his hands: "Brother, Deyan is here."
"Come in." Su Yiju knelt down behind the desk and spoke.
Su Deyan came in and knelt down opposite Su Yiju. There was a book on the table, a stove, a pot and two teacups.
Su Yi lifted up his long-sleeved gown, lowered his eyebrows, and brought a cup of tea to Su Deyan: "How happy A Yuan would be if he were alive."
Su Deyan touched the teacup with his finger and shrank slightly. He looked up and saw a drop of clear tears rolling down the corner of Su Yiju's eyes. His heart felt as if he had been stabbed. He lowered his head and said, "Brother, it's been twelve years.
"
"Yes, it's been twelve years." Su Yiju didn't bother to care about the tears that fell, and slowly closed his eyes: "He has a grievance in his heart, but time has not waited for me, he is loyal and courageous, but his wife is not virtuous, and his son
If you don't live up to expectations, you will be tied to Sujiazhuang for the rest of your life, leaving nothing but a handful of soil."
Su Deyan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"It's time for the Su family to have an ancestral hall. Su Yuan's lineage is the direct lineage, and the rest are collateral branches. Su Yuantai and Suboda are not allowed to enter the family tree." Su Yiju looked at Su Deyan: "What do you think?"
Su Deyan looked at Su Yiju in astonishment: "Brother, Yuantai and Boda are our blood brothers."
"A Yuan carried the infant Acheng to Sujiazhuang and became his root. I recognized him as a brother." Su Yiju's face was as pale as if there was no emotion at all, and he said slowly: "If Su Yuan only wants to
If he takes the imperial examination and becomes an official, Sujiazhuang will cease to exist. I don’t even dare to guess his identity. What he gave up for the people of Sujiazhuang is more than becoming an official?"
Su Deyan was sweating on his forehead: "I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public. If you build an ancestral hall, you must have an ancestral tree, and under the ancestral tree is the family tree."
Su Yiju smiled: "De Yan, you are so good. Among the brothers, you are smart, but you are too narrow-minded. Not to mention where A Yuan came from, let's talk about whether your descendants will want the current Su family in the future.
Take shelter."
Su Deyan's face turned red.
"Although A Yuan is gone, will the Su family's Sanlang not have a family tree in his hand? We built an ancestral hall to worship A Yuan's lineage. We are all side branches. In the long run, we will be protected." Su Yi took a sip of tea and said:
"However, with the Chen family's current behavior and superb methods, if Yuantai and Boda are included in the family tree, it will be a disaster in the future! It will not only affect others, but the children and grandchildren of the entire Su family."
Su Deyan swallowed: "But tracing the origin, wouldn't it mean that the Su family knows that Brother Yuan has no blood ties with us?"
Su Yiju narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Deyan, and suddenly slapped it on the table, causing the lid of the teacup to tremble several times. Su Lingniang who was outside the door quickly came in, knelt down next to Su Yiju, and whispered softly: "Grandpa, please calm down.
get angry."
"It's okay, go get tea for your grandfather." Su Yiju said.
Just as Su Lingniang went out, Su Yiju lowered his voice and said word by word: "How long do you think you can cheat for? The future of the Su family is limitless, how can you and I see through it now! Su Deyan, one day I will die, do you care?
The Su family is just a mess! How can any son be compared with the descendants of the Su family? Huh?"
Su Deyan knelt down directly: "Brother, Deyan knows he was wrong."
Su Yiju sighed: "The Su family is a farming family. As long as we can live a prosperous and stable life with the Chen family, we will be content. They are all blind people. I really think that the benefits of sesame and mung beans are so great! Chen family
If we can recognize the Su family, even if it is a side branch, it will not matter. We will strive for success from generation to generation, and there is no guarantee that no one will fly to the sky in the future. By then, the Su family will be a noble family that is stable internally and difficult to break down from the outside!"
Su Deyan nodded: "Yes, the eldest brother has far-reaching plans, and Deyan has learned a lesson."
"Okay, here are the people I have listed who can be included in the family tree. Check to see if there are any errors or omissions. If not, I will go to see the Chen family." Su Yiju handed the book next to Su Deyan.
Su Deyan sat down and checked. Not only were there no Su Yuantai and Suboda, they were not even related to their ancestors. This shows how hateful Su Yi was for his actions.
After leaving the fifth server, even the surname Su is not included in the family tree.
Those who are within the five clothes are relatives, those who are closely related are relatives, and those who have the same surname are neighbors.
"After reading, brother, will you come to the door now?" Su Deyan asked.
Su Yiju shook his head: "We'll go there early tomorrow morning."
"Yes." On the way back, Su Deyan was hunched over. Not to mention Boda and Yuantai, he was also at the end of the fifth service. In other words, in Su Yiju's family tree, if he dared to do anything wrong, he would be punished.
chopped off.
Now, the only hope is to see where people in Su Yuan's lineage started recording their ancestral genealogy. If Su Yuan is the first server, and the four generations up to him are not recorded, then he can barely be regarded as a cousin of the third server.
.
After the title is determined in the ancestral hall, what can be guaranteed is that his grandson will be under the protection of the Su family.
He never expected that Su Yiju would be so decisive and wanted to cleanse everyone in Sujiazhuang. He could see that Chen Yu wanted to unite the Su family into one clan. Su Yiju could also see it, even better than himself.
See more clearly.
Su family.
Chen Yu tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. She was happy for a little bit. After all, she had become the king of the village. The court provided rice and salary, and it was necessary to get in and out of carriages. This was her own dignity, and what's more,
It is something that demonstrates the mighty grace of the emperor.
Of course, Chen Yu knew very well that this title was given by Xiao Qiyu to support him more, and it was just a pretext for donating grain seeds.
I am also a little uneasy. With the honor, I cannot make mistakes. They say that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. My current position is really too light. Some people will praise it, but others will be crushed to death.
To exist, the Su family needs to be stronger. If you take too many bonuses, it is no joke to make the villain jealous.
In the early morning, Xiao Qiyu and Su Qianxiu had dinner and reluctantly left home. As soon as Chen Yu returned to the house and sat down, Su Yiju and Su Deyan came to see them.
Chen Yu frowned slightly and looked at Zheng Yue'e who came in to deliver a message: "What did you say? Please see me?"
"Yes, mother, it sounds weird to me." Zheng Yuee said.
Chen Yu nodded: "Please go to the flower hall and prepare tea and cakes for the guests."
