Su Li, the second old man, who had already walked to the door of the room, glanced at the eldest man who was kneeling in the middle of the hall and had not had time to get up, his eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently, and he slowed down his pace slightly.

Sanniang, Wuniang, and Da Lang, who got up in a hurry, also saluted the second room. However, this big man has been kneeling for a long time, and when he bent down to say hello, his legs were weak and he stumbled, but fortunately, the two sisters on his side helped him in time, so he didn't make a fool of himself.

But Chen stared at the pair of slender jade hands that Wu Niang was holding Da Lang's arm, and his face was very ugly.

"Yo, what's wrong with Brother Gu'er?" Second Master Su asked with a smile, looking back at the eldest master Su Ce, "Big brother, where did Brother Gu not do a good job?" He's still young, you take your time and teach him, but don't beat and scold him anymore. ”

These few words that were not painful or itchy suddenly made the faces of the people in the long room sink one after another.

Nowadays, in the huge general's mansion, which girl doesn't know, although this Gu Ge'er is the grandson of the long house, but he is a reckless and slow, difficult to open the master, the eldest lady Chen is pampered and headache for this son, but the eldest master is in addition to a headache is scolded and punished, these years, he finally trained his son to take over the family's business shop - Yujinfang, you can rest assured if you want to come, but you don't want this kid to be three days and two ends of the kiln, drink flower wine, no day can be worry-free.

"Yes, yes, now Brother Gu is about to turn twenty, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law should also find a good family for him, and our family's Brother Hong has never been punished like this." You Shi pinched the silk handkerchief and half-covered his mouth, and said with a coquettish smile.

Chen's already unhappy face turned even darker, "Brother and sister, you don't have to worry about Da Lang's marriage, the old lady said it, it is a big deal for the eldest grandson of the long house to marry a daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law must take her time to choose a good one, so Da Lang has been delayed until now, and you are not blessed with your brother Hong." ”

At this moment, the smile on You's face also faded, the Chen family really didn't open which pot, it turned out that Brother Hong in the second room, although he ranked third in the Su family, was more than a year younger than Brother Gu in the long room, but he married early. He brought a foreign woman back after going out to study two years ago, and he stalked to Mingmei to marry the lady, and then forced him to die, and finally the old lady had no choice but to agree, but this matter became a joke in the general's mansion, and Brother Dao Hong was lost by the fox spirit.

Su Ce and Su Li are used to seeing the verbal disputes between their concubines, and they don't bother to pay attention to it.

"Big brother, I heard that Xifeng Yuan was empty, why did you drive people away without checking clearly?" Second Master Su still smiled lightly.

Hearing this, Chen's You both stopped thinking about their tongues.

Sanniang was shocked, and secretly said that the second uncle was so well-informed.

"The second uncle misunderstood his father and mother." Sanniang got up and smiled sweetly at the second room, and then said, "How can you say it's rushing?" Xu is the woman felt ashamed to face the general's mansion, and took advantage of the lack of people at night to leave the mansion on her own, and her father asked about it this morning! ”

"Haha......" The second old man Su Li couldn't help laughing, "Sanniang is really well trained, this nonsense is all made up." Ignoring Sanniang's embarrassed face, he glanced at the still silent old man in his afterglow, and then said: "I just don't know the "Fenglin Sword", can my brother take a look?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Niang, who sat in the corner and looked at the lively Wu Niang coldly, was surprised, don't look at the second uncle's usual drinking flowers and singing big dramas, he doesn't do anything serious, but the news is collected a lot and accurately, it seems that there must be a spy around his father.

Su Ce was also very surprised, except for a few close to his body and soul last night, no one else knew about it, why did the second room still get the letter early in the morning? Even knowing such a real and detailed thing as "Fenglin Sword", it seems that the long house is afraid that it is not clean.

The second brother laughed, where did the "Fenglin Sword" come from, but the woman's hearsay used this fake thing to deceive you and me. Su Ce replied simply with a normal look on his face.

"The second brother is afraid that he heard the nonsense of the subordinate wrongly, why should such a country woman rush, we gave twenty taels of silver, and they left happily, or the inn escorted by the doorkeeper in the house." Chen Shi looked at the smile on the face of the old man in the second room, and he couldn't say that he was unclear, and hurriedly raised his voice and added.

"So that's the case, then it's really the little brother who heard it wrong." Su Ce smiled and nodded, "It's just, I don't understand", he turned sideways and stared at Gu Ge'er in the lower hand seat and said, "Da Lang, then why did you rush to burn down the woman's guest room?" Now that he has caused a life lawsuit, won't the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law have to be postponed again? As he spoke, he turned around and asked Chen with a smile: "Did you say that, sister-in-law?" ”

At this moment, not only did the Chen family grit his teeth and be silent with resentment, but even the eldest lord Su Ce on the side was iron-faced, but the even more useless Brother Lang Gu was frightened and softened and slipped directly from the big carved mahogany chair.

"Brother Gu-"

"Big brother—"

"Useless stuff!"

Su Ce couldn't hold back any longer, and slurped hatefully at his son, who had already fainted.

There was a bustle in the courtyard of the long house, and when the people carried Gu Ge'er away, there were only two masters left in the hall.

Master Su frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he still didn't know how to speak.

Second Master Su put away the usual chuckle on his face at this time, "Big brother, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, you are indispensable for the General's Mansion to have today!" ”

The eldest man raised his head in surprise and stared at the serious second brother on the opposite side, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't imagine that he would say this.

"From a distance, our father went early, and the third brother and I were still very young at that time, and it was you who got up early and helped my mother pull our brothers up, when the third brother joined the army and went to the battlefield with one mind, the whole family was strongly opposed, only you have always supported him, so the third brother trusted you so much."

The second master's eyes were blurred, and although his eyes were looking at the spring scenery in the courtyard, they were full of sorrow.

"The third brother has been gone all these years, thanks to you, not to mention the business of the General's Mansion inside and out, even the children in the family were also taught by you, so you didn't delay them, and you didn't lose the face of the third brother."

At this time, the eldest lord was also thoughtful, and it was rare for the hall to be so quiet and depressing.

Speaking of which, he is over forty years old, and because of years of hard work, his temples have long been gray. He thought that when the third brother was there, whether it was the so-called general or not, he was very trusting and close to him, the eldest brother, the two brothers hid in the study as soon as they had time, one of them held a big jar while pouring wine, while chatting about life, speaking of energy, and you sang and drank a word of me, it was really a song about wine, and it was rare to be so happy and chic in life!

He still remembers that before the third brother went to the battlefield for the last time, he specially rushed back from the imperial capital overnight, and the two brothers nested in the study that night but did not drink, and they couldn't remember exactly what they were talking about, but they only remembered that the eyes of the third brother who were half-hidden in the dark were very bright, and they were silent for a long time, but finally said in a dumb voice: "I'm a little tired, big brother, after this fight, I will resign and come back to run the family business with you, okay?" ”

It's a pity that his third brother never came back, and he never came back!

When the bad news of the imperial capital came, he gritted his teeth and still didn't believe it, until the emperor finally issued a holy decree, he felt that the sky had fallen, and since then, he has fallen ill like this, and he has been bedridden for more than half a year, and his body and bones have not been able to do it since then.

Now that I think about it, more than ten years have passed, but sometimes I am tired, and when I think about it, it feels as if it all happened yesterday. Over the years, he personally supervised the management of the accounts in the shop every day, and he knew the coming and going of every penny, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire etiquette, piano technicians and teachers to teach in the house, but he did not want the children to go out in the future and lose the face of the third brother.

Second Master Su glanced at the irrepressible sorrow in the eldest master's eyes, specially lowered his voice and continued: "Big brother, if that woman is really the only blood and blood of the third brother, do we really want to turn her away?" ”

That woman, with the tenderness of the third brother and sister in her eyebrows, and the sassy and heroic posture of the third brother, as well as the "Fenglin Sword" engraved with pear patterns, and the green cicada wing veil embroidered with flowers and pears, that woman, if ...... Is it really the blood of the third brother?

Thinking of this, Master Su raised his head suddenly, but what he saw was the second brother's usual smiling and calculating face, he quickly picked up the tea that had already been cold on the table, and poured it hard.

"Let's wait until my mother comes back!"

With that, he got up and left without hesitation.

Second Master Su pursed his lips, damn it, he still couldn't let this old guy relax, he looked up and stared at the flowers and bones in the courtyard full of trees and branches, but he smiled slyly.

Let's go and see!
