Su Wei looked at Su Ran in front of him with his negative hand facing away from him, was what his son-in-law said just now joking with him?

"Childe, are you kidding me?" Su Wei said uncertainly.

His son-in-law wants to pay for the collection of grain and grass for the army, and he also wants the Huayang rice merchant to help, isn't this joking with him or what?

When Su Ran heard Su Wei's words, he turned to look at him and said, "Are you joking when you look at the appearance of this son?" ”

Seeing Su Ran's serious expression, Su Wei knew that his son-in-law was not joking with him, Su Wei cried with a sad face, and said, "Son, have you forgotten the ancestral teachings of the Su family, and the repeated instructions of the old owner before going out?" ”

Su Wei still remembers that when he followed his son out of Huayang Villa, the old owner repeatedly told him that he must be optimistic about his son and let him not associate with people in the court.

But now, not only did he not take a good look at Su Ran, let him interact with the people in the court, but also came to the military camp, and even now, his son-in-law has to pay for the collection of grain and grass for the army, isn't this against the ancestral teachings of the Su family, so that he failed the old owner to his entrustment.

Listening to Su Wei, Su Ran also sounded what his father Su Qi said to him when he left the villa, as well as the ancestral teachings that have been passed down by the Su family all along.

It's just that he has never understood why the Su family has an ancestral precept that they are not allowed to participate in court politics and associate with people in the court.

He had asked his father many times, but he had never explained it to him.

"As long as you don't say it, and then tell them to keep their mouths shut, my father won't know about it."

Su Wei saw Su Ran say this, and said, "But Childe, you are violating the ancestral teachings of the Su family, not to mention such a big matter, how could the old owner not know?" "If you want to cross the sea all over the world, how can it be so easy, not to mention, the old owner once said that when the son is out of the house, everything that happens along the way must be sent back to the villa by the Su family's secret letter.

Thinking that because his son-in-law insisted on coming to the barracks despite his own obstacles, and he has never sent a message back to the villa since then.

Now, Su Ran has made such a big move again, and Su Wei's face is full of bitterness.

Su Ran took Su Wei's expression into his eyes and said, "If you dare to send this matter back to the villa by letter." Then you don't have to follow me anymore, you just go back to the village and stay. ”

Hearing Su Ran's words, Su Wei said with a shocked face, "Childe, you, you know me, I sent a message back to the villa?" ”

Obviously, he is so careful, every time he takes advantage of Su Ran's absence to secretly pass on letters, how can his son-in-law know?

Glancing at Su Wei casually, Su Ran said coldly, "You remember, you are my scholar, if you want to do things for the old owner, then there is no need for you to stay by my side, I want all loyalty, not two-hearted people." ”

Su Ran's words made Su Wei shocked when he heard this, and immediately knelt down and said, "Childe, Su Wei can have today, it is all given by Gongzi, Su Wei is only loyal to Gongzi, and I hope that Gongzi Mingjian." After speaking, Su Wei glanced at Su Ran, who had already walked to the table to sit down.

After being silent for a long time, Su Ran said, "Then you should know how to do it." ”

Seeing Su Ran say this, Su Wei knew that what he had to do now was to follow Su Ran's instructions and go to the rice merchant in Huayang, Yuzhou to prepare money, grain and grass.

In the middle of the city, a large mansion is located in the south.

At the top of the gold-cast gate hangs a red gold silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with four big characters 'Huayang Villa'.

The scribbled cursive technique depicts the words on the plaque solemnly and domineeringly.

The golden gate shows the wealth of the owner of the lodge.

The brick wall outside the courtyard is encircled, the green willows hang around, and the verandah is copied on all sides. The village is connected with each other, and the mountains and stones are embellished, so that the whole mountain villa appears more magnificent, graceful and luxurious, and the garden is splendid, clear and exquisite.

In a high-rise attic in the villa, a man of about forty sat at a stone table with an upholstered mat in the attic.

The man glanced at the person sitting opposite, who had not been seen for many years, and the person opposite was the same as he had been back then.

"After all these years, are you okay in Yunmeng Mountain?"

After all, the man couldn't stand the stalemate silence and asked out loud.

"The owner of Yunmeng Laosu Zhuang is concerned, and he is doing very well."

That's right, the man in the pavilion is Su Qi, the owner of Huayang Villa, and the person sitting opposite him is Yun Mengzhen of Yunmeng Mountain, that is, the master of Jiuhuang.

Seeing that Yunmeng Zhenren was so polite, Su Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Meng'er, do you really want to be so polite to me?" ”

Thinking of the mistakes he had committed back then, Su Qi felt a faint pain in his heart.

Back then, it was because she misunderstood the relationship between Yun Meng and her senior brother that she married Su Ran's mother in a negative mood.

It wasn't until later that Qin Huan was upset with Yunmeng and hit Huayang Villa that Su Qi knew that he had misunderstood Yunmeng.

Later, he went to Yunmeng Mountain many times to find Yunmeng, but found that Yunmengshan's previous formation had already been replaced by Yunmeng. Since then, he has never seen Yunmeng again.

When Yun Meng appeared in front of him again now, Su Qi, the owner of the village, who had always been called the No. 1 Mountain Villa by the rivers and lakes, felt a little nervous in his heart, but more excited.

When Yun Meng heard Su Qi's words, a trace of sadness finally appeared on his face that had been calm, but it was only a moment of sadness, and then it calmed down, and no one knew what kind of high feelings Yun Meng Zhenren would have in his heart.

I saw that after a moment of silence, she looked at Su Qidao and said, "Master Su Zhuang said and laughed!" Yun Meng came to Guizhuang this time, just to inform the owner of Su Zhuang: Whether the Su family can really last for a long time and stand like a family for thousands of years depends on the creation of this time. ”

Su Qi saw that Yunmeng Zhenren changed the topic, and a trace of bitterness flashed in his heart. Then he heard Yun Mengzhen's words, and wondered, "What did Meng'er say this?" ”

Yunmeng Zhenren didn't want to go down the mountain to Huayang Villa, but Jiuhuang was her only apprentice, and it was due to the destiny of heaven, so she had to go down the mountain to solve some obstacles for her apprentice.

Yunmeng Zhenren looked at Su Qi and said seriously, "After so many years of circulation, it's time to change the Su family's ancestral teachings. ”

Su family ancestral training? Su Qi was puzzled. Then he suddenly thought of the first article of the Su family's ancestral training, and his heart was shocked, and said, "Meng'er, you mean that you want the Su family to participate in the affairs of the court?" ”

Yunmeng Zhenren nodded, and said, "Even if the background of the Su family is not known to the Zhao family now, sooner or later, one day, they will know, can the Su Zhuang master guarantee that the Su family's secret can be concealed all the time without being known?" ”

Su Qi did not immediately answer Yunmeng Zhenren's words, but fell into a deep thought.

The Su family is not surnamed Su, but Zhao. That's right, the surname is Zhao, and the Su family is also a descendant of the orthodox Zhao royal family.

A hundred years ago, Zhao Yi, the founding emperor of the Zhao family, together with his brother Zhao Tan, laid down the Zhao dynasty, established the Celestial Empire, and took Zhao Yi as the emperor and his brother Zhao Tan as the founding prince.

Under the southern and northern wars led by Zhao Tan and the army of the Celestial Empire, he finally pacified the foreign hostilities eyeing the Celestial Empire.

Because of Zhao Tan's heroic performance in quelling foreign strife, his reputation is well known throughout the Celestial Empire. Emperor Zhao Yi saw that Zhao Tan's prestige was too high, listened to the slander of the villains around him, and was afraid that Zhao Tan would take his place because of his high merits, so he used a conspiracy to regain the military power in Zhao Tan's hands, and only gave him the position of an idle prince with no name and power.

The delicate Zhao Tan saw through Zhao Yi's motives, and did not want the two brothers to turn against each other because of a throne, so he automatically asked for an order to hand over the military power in his hands, retired to the government and the opposition, and lived in seclusion.

Even if Zhao Tan did this, Zhao Yi was still not at ease with him, so he sent someone to assassinate Zhao Tan.

Zhao Tan obviously escaped the assassination, and accidentally saw the token belonging to the palace on the assassin's body, which let Zhao Tan know that the person who wanted his life was the eldest brother who sat firmly on the court and was a fellow mother with him. Disheartened, Zhao Tan used his own homophone to change Zhao to Su, and lived in seclusion in a Shangjing city. After Zhao Tan changed his name, he relied on his talent for business, slowly established the Su family, married a wife and had children, and lived his ordinary life. In the end, before he died, he left his last words, and since then, the Su family has not been allowed to enter the court as an official for generations, let alone have close contacts with people in the court.

Seeing Su Qi fall into deep thought, Yunmeng Zhenren was not in a hurry, she didn't fully know about the Su family, but she knew a thing or two from her master.

Su Qi retracted his drifting thoughts, looked at Yun Meng, and said, "If the ancestral teachings handed down by the Su family for a hundred years are to be changed, they need to be unanimously approved by the elders of the Su family. ”

Yun Meng heard the rejection in Su Qi's words, but he just smiled and didn't speak, and the attic instantly fell into silence.

After about a cup of tea, Yunmeng Zhenren stood up and said goodbye to Su Qi.

Before leaving, she finally said, "Huayang Villa is on the Huang Xingxing, this is the only chance for the Su family, I believe that the owner of the Su family, who can be the head of the Su family, must know what to do." If the head of the dignified family didn't decide the affairs of the Su family, wouldn't it be a big joke to spread it? Yun Meng said goodbye, and hoped that the owner of Su Zhuang would think twice before acting, and don't do anything that he regrets again. ”

When the last voice fell, there was no longer a real figure of Yunmeng in the attic.

When Su Qi heard Yunmeng Zhenren's last profound words, his body couldn't help but be shocked. He took a deep look at the stone table where Yunmeng Zhenren was sitting just now, the tea on the table was still bubbling with wisps of tea, but the people who tasted the tea had already gone to the empty building.

In his ears, he always replayed the last words that Yunmeng Zhenren said when he left, "Huayang Villa is on the Tihuang Star, this is the only time that the Su family can gain a foothold in the Celestial Empire and become the existence of those great families in the capital for thousands of years. ’

Do you really want to go against the ancestral teachings that have been handed down by the ancestors of the Su family? Suddenly, he remembered his son Su Ran, who was wandering away, and a trace of ominous premonition crossed his heart, Su Wei had not been able to use a secret letter to send back to the villa for a long time.
