Su Zhongying didn't understand what his father was crazy about? According to the original schedule, the husband and wife took their two sons, and they sent it out three days later, so they must first attend the spring banquet of the Yue family tomorrow, right? The day after tomorrow is the birthday of his wife Qin Youyi, and she will be able to have a meal at home after a little trimming. Now they don't know what the situation is in Datong, and they don't know how many years before they can return to the capital, and they should still be able to enjoy this leisure.

As a result, his father asked him to leave tomorrow, because tomorrow was the day of the Spring Banquet! Even if he left the day after tomorrow, it was better than leaving tomorrow. How could my father suddenly make such an unreasonable request?

He asked his father why, but Zhenxihou refused to say the reason why he asked for this, but insisted that his younger son do it, and his tone was very tough. Seeing that Su Zhongying was prevaricating and had to wait for three days before leaving, Zhenxihou was still angry, and even said decisive words such as "If you don't do what I say, don't recognize me as a father".

When Mrs. Zhenxi Hou heard the news, she hurriedly played a round, persuaded her husband to put out his anger, and urged her youngest son to quickly agree to her husband's words and set off tomorrow. Although she was in a hurry to do so, and she also hoped that her youngest son could stay at home for a few more days, she was reluctant, but her husband's words were heaven for her. When she was sure that it was impossible for her husband to change his mind, she turned to persuading her younger son to change his mind.

She also whispered to Su Zhongying: "I know that you are taking care of your daughter-in-law's birthday, and you want her to meet her mother's family before she leaves Beijing, but since she is married and has children for you, she is our Su family, where can she be as wanton as when she was in her mother's house? She has also seen her mother's family during the Chinese New Year, and it is only a few days ago, what else do you want to see? Whose daughter-in-law doesn't marry a chicken and a dog?" Your daughter-in-law's sister married to another province, isn't it the same as she has been in charge of foreign duties for more than ten years, and she didn't return to Beijing until this year, and she didn't complain? The same sister, the same was raised by Mrs. Cheng'enhou, how can her sister do it, but she can't? Does she also want to follow her example and live in her mother's house for more than 10 years before she can be willing? No matter how much you love your daughter-in-law, there is no reason to indulge her like this. Could it be that the imperial court ordered you to take office immediately, and you also had to tell the emperor that you should celebrate your daughter-in-law's birthday before leaving? Naturally, your future is more important! Go and make it clear to her, if she doesn't follow, tell her to just come to see me, and I will come to her!"

Su Zhongying looked at his mother speechlessly, how could he truthfully relay these words to his wife? Even he, who is a son, felt chilled when he heard it, let alone his wife? In fact, he also understood that his mother had always had a knot in his mother's heart about his sister-in-law's long-term stay in her mother's house, and now that something ugly happened to her eldest niece, she complained more and more that her sister-in-law's maiden family had not taught her granddaughter well. But how can this be the same? The wife has never disobeyed her mother-in-law's wishes since she married into the Zhenxi Hou Mansion, and the number of times she has returned to her parents' house is even rarer. Is the mother still not satisfied? The wife gave birth to two sons for the Su family, how can I say that it is also meritorious? Why is the mother still so harsh on her?

Su Zhongying returned to her courtyard with difficulty, looking at his wife's beautiful and dignified face, but she couldn't say anything.

He couldn't understand his father's orders, and he knew how much his wife was looking forward to tomorrow's spring feast. Although he was about to leave his hometown for several years, why didn't his wife have to be separated from her parents for a long time?

Qin Youyi has been assisting her mother-in-law in taking charge of Zhenxihou Mansion for many years, and what happened in the mansion has been reported to her by someone to know. She already knew what her husband was worried about now, although she was also very dissatisfied in her heart, but she knew that the most important thing at this moment was to appease her husband first. Her husband is now ashamed of her, and if she only knows how to complain, it will only make him even more embarrassed. The husband and wife are about to leave home and face unknown challenges together, so why should she quarrel with her husband at this time? No matter how harsh her parents-in-law are, the life is lived by the husband and wife, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law are already years later. She can tell which is more important.

Qin Youyi said softly to Su Zhongying: "Second master, I know everything, don't be sad." I don't care. The luggage is almost ready, let the girls organize the two children's things again, and it doesn't matter if you go out tomorrow. The summer clothes and bedding are not finished yet, but there is no need to rush too much. Leave the two steady girls down, pack them up slowly, and wait for the weather to get warmer, and then escort them to Datong, it's the same. Or we can simply make new ones in Datong, and that's fine. If Datong leaves the capital, it will take more than ten days to walk slowly, and what can we do? My father-in-law wants us to leave tomorrow, and he has the reason of his old man. We are juniors, just listen to it, why make him angry?"

Su Zhongying listened to his wife's words, and while breathing a sigh of relief, she felt even more ashamed of her wife. He sighed and said to Qin Youyi: "The luggage is just a trivial matter, what I am worried about is the spring banquet of the Chengenhou Mansion tomorrow, I originally said that I would take the child over and ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to say goodbye, and also let you relax for a day, and you can have a good gathering with your family before leaving Beijing, what is it now? Father couldn't say a reason, he just blindly demanded it." It's a big deal that we should hurry up on the road and shorten the trip as much as possible, that is, why do we have to understand the way to leave? General Ma in Datong has not yet entered Beijing, so we don't have to be in such a hurry to go to work, as if we are urging people to give way quickly. Isn't my father an old man who is sick and confused? ”

Su Zhongying is now more and more incomprehensible to her father. In the past, he was far away, and he only knew how wise and heroic his father was, but he didn't know his father's true temperament. All that can be heard from the mother's mouth is only good words. But now that his father has returned to Beijing and spent the past few months, he found that many of his father's words and deeds were incomprehensible to him.

Let's talk about what happened recently, the eldest nephew's daughter had a private meeting with the clan, he beat that Zhao Zhu, was transferred to Datong, and his father kept looking at him with a nose that was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, as if he was complaining that he shouldn't stand up for his niece. She was abducted, shouldn't he be an uncle? After staying for the past two days, my father suddenly said that it was better for him to go to Datong than to stay in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. It's just inexplicable!

There is also the marriage of the eldest niece, the elder brother clearly said that now the child's reputation has been damaged, for the sake of her future future, she will wait for the weather to warm up, send someone to her grandfather's house, and use the name of her grandfather Governor of Huguang to choose a decent and good family affair for her. This is obviously a thoughtful idea, but my father actually wants to intervene, and he still wants to give his eldest niece to Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County. Zhao Mo clearly declined the marriage, and more than once!

Judging from the gossip on his wife's mother's side, Zhao Mo is most likely to match with the eldest granddaughter of his wife's own uncle, Yongjiahou. That was the emperor's trusted uncle, who had impeccable character and learning, who would rob his granddaughter of a family affair? The two families were interested, and as in-laws, they had to intervene in it, what was this? And the father did this only because he relied on the father of Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County, to make a verbal promise to the prince of Liao, and he didn't even have a token or a marriage letter.

Who in Beijing doesn't know that Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County, is not on good terms with his father, and he refuses to live in a mansion, let alone a major marriage matter? The emperor and the crown prince will make decisions for Zhao Mo, and the prince of Liao really can't make decisions about the marriage of his eldest son. The father can't even see this fact clearly, blindly trusts the prince of Liao, but doesn't care about the future happiness of his eldest niece, where is what a grandfather should do?

The dissatisfaction in Su Zhongying's heart has been accumulated for a long time, and now she can't hold it anymore, and she vents it in front of her wife. The wife is so polite and considerate of him everywhere, but it contrasts the father's unkindness with the mother's stubbornness and blind obedience. He became more and more respectful and close to his wife in his heart.

Qin Youyi comforted him a lot, made him angry, and said, "I'll take someone to pack up my things first, and you can go and talk to the eldest uncle." Since you will be leaving Beijing tomorrow, your brothers must have a lot to say. After lunch, you can rest for a while, and then accompany me back to my mother's house, how about I? I will always explain to my mother and brothers the reason for the no-show tomorrow, and see them again to say goodbye. I can't attend the Spring Festival banquet tomorrow, and it's the same to have a meal with my mother at my mother's house today. ”

Su Zhongying's heart was sour, how could she refuse? Hurriedly agreed, and asked her confidant to hurry up to prepare a generous gift, so as to make amends to the Yue family, and personally greeted the porter, and asked people to go to Chengenhou's Mansion to deliver the letter, and said that they would leave the house after lunch, and also told the kitchen that they didn't need to prepare their husband and wife and two children for dinner, they would eat in Chengenhou's Mansion.

When Mrs. Zhenxi Hou received the letter, she was a little dissatisfied, and the youngest son was going to Datong with his grandson tomorrow, so how could he not have a reunion with his family for dinner? However, the movement in the courtyard of the younger son also showed that he and his daughter-in-law had reached a consensus and were willing to leave for Datong tomorrow. This is an unreasonable request from her husband, and the juniors are willing to comply, but her mother is not good at saying anything more, but she just ordered someone to add vegetables to lunch, which is just a practice feast. She didn't forget to tell her husband the news so that he wouldn't be angry with her youngest son again.

When Zhenxihou heard that his youngest son and his wife were going to Chengenhou's mansion to say goodbye, he frowned and didn't say anything. Although he complained a little about his in-laws' meddling in the past and brought him back to the capital, but now the Zhenxi Hou Mansion is in turmoil, and he still needs the help of his in-laws who are relatives of the emperor, and the younger son can go to the Chengenhou Mansion for a trip.

Su Zhongying didn't know anything about his parents' thoughts, he just went to see his brother, told him about leaving tomorrow, and entrusted this family to his brother. In the past ten or twenty years, he has been at home to take care of the family, and now, it is the turn of his brother to be the son of the housekeeper. The mother's temperament is a bit strict and rigid, her wife is so filial and gentle, and she has a meritorious child, she is a little unbearable, and the sister-in-law will definitely feel even more uncomfortable. Su Zhongying kindly reminded her brother and sister-in-law that she mentioned some of her mother's taboos, so that they must not violate their mother's taboos in a daze.

Su Boxiong received his brother's kindness and asked him again: "Second brother, do you know why your father is in a hurry to urge you out of Beijing?"

Su Zhongying was stunned: "Could it be that the eldest brother knows?"
