Sikong Shaoyang was not on duty that day, returned to his mansion outside the palace, entered the door with his front foot, and then someone came to visit. Usually few people come to Sikong Shaoyang's private mansion, he speculated about who came, turned around and motioned to the servant to open the door, and then saw Su Yan's mother, Mrs. Su Jiang.

"Mrs. Jiang? Come in. Sikong Shaoyang didn't expect it to be her, except for a few times when he occasionally went to Su Yan's mansion, he didn't have any intersection with this Mrs. Su, in an instant, he seemed to guess the Jiang family's intention to come here, but he didn't want to think deeply.

With just the right smile, Jiang walked into the front hall with Sikong Shaoyang.

After sitting down, Jiang looked up at his mansion. When the person brought the brewed tea to Jiang, she withdrew her gaze, took the teacup and thanked her softly.

"The mansion of the Sikong Commander is very clean, and there are only ...... in Su Ri" said her, looking at the two servants standing at the door: "These two servants?" Although Jiang's words were soft, it was not difficult to detect the disgust.

"It's good if you call me Shaoyang, I usually stay in the palace a lot, and I rarely go back to this private house, so I don't have so many servants, and I'm used to being alone, and there are few people in the house, so I can be more comfortable." Sikong Shaoyang responded respectfully to the Jiang family.

"You are older than Yan'er, you have helped Yan'er a lot in all these years of fighting abroad, and we in Sufu are very grateful to you." Jiang changed the subject.

"Mrs. Su, what are you talking about, Su Yan and I are brothers, and it is appropriate to take care of each other."

"Sikong leads a table of talents, and it stands to reason that he is not young, but he has never been married, why haven't he considered starting a family?" It seems that Jiang has finally entered the theme of her arrival this time.

"Yes, I often work as an errand boy in the palace, so I haven't had time to think about getting married."

"Then dare to ask, does the commander of the sky have a sweetheart?"

This Mrs. Su should already know about her affairs with Su Wu, and she deliberately insisted on calling herself Sikong Commander, it seems that her attitude is very clear, but Sikong Shaoyang has already made plans, and the matter between herself and Su Wu will not be smooth sailing, but since she can't let go of her, why not fight?

"Yes, I already have a sweetheart." Sikong Shaoyang looked at Jiang firmly.

When Jiang heard this, it seemed to be expected, with a faint smile on his face: "I think you know, since the death of Yan'er and Wu'er's father, the entire Su family has been greatly affected. Although I tried my best to maintain everything in my family, and my mother's family also gave me a lot of support, I still encountered a lot of resistance, and many of Su Yan's father's political enemies fell to our Su family after his death, and the followers of the family also saw the wind and left many ...... And Su Yan's uncles in the clan are also eyeing Yan'er's future marquis. ”

Sikong Shaoyang looked at the powerful woman in front of him and said, "Outsiders can't see it, but I know that Mrs. Su, you have paid unimaginable hardships and forbearance for the Su family over the years, so that the Su family's position in Dongzhao is still as stable as before." ”

"Is it really as solid as ever?" Jiang shook his head helplessly: "That's just an appearance, there will be other family forces that will overtake our Su family at any time." If you want the family to be stable and prosperous for a long time, in addition to Yan'er's military achievements, the most important thing is the support of other clans. And the best way to unite clans is through marriage, which is an eternal law. Although it sounds a little cruel and unfair, the marriage between Su Wu and Su Yan must be built on the basis of being helpful to the future of the Su family. ”

Jiang's intention today is already clear, Sikong Shaoyang got straight to the point: "Mrs. Su, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Okay, Mingren doesn't say secret words, my daughter has received the best education and care since she was a child, on the one hand, because she is my most beloved daughter, and on the other hand, she is also the hope of my Xuan family, she should marry a famous family, and even, a higher position."

Even though he knew Jiang's intentions, Sikong Shaoyang didn't expect her to tell him her expectations for Su Wu's marriage so bluntly.

Jiang Shi looked at Sikong Shaoyang, and then said: "Sikong Commander, whether in terms of ability or character, you are impeccable, although there are many older women, that is not a problem, and you are indeed a high-ranking and powerful person in Dongzhao now, and you are a celebrity around the emperor, but you are alone after all, without a strong family to rely on." Please forgive and understand my selfishness, if you are really together, you will not be able to bring enough help to our family. ”

"Mrs. Su, with all due respect, it's understandable that you want to use Su's marriage to bring benefits and help to the family, but have you ever considered her feelings? Will she be happy? Sikong Shaoyang was not reconciled, he tried to fight for reason in order to make a last stand.

Jiang smiled bitterly: "None of us can live completely for ourselves, the family will always come first, even if my marriage was the same, not to mention ......"

Jiang Shi paused, and his gaze, which had not been wavering, suddenly became extremely sharp: "As the commander of the royal Praetorian Guard, your first duty is to protect the safety of the emperor and the crown prince...... If, I mean, you die while protecting the emperor, then what are you going to do with your daughter?

Jiang's eyes flashed with a trace of bitterness that she almost never showed to outsiders: "I understand that feeling too well, after their father died, I thought about him all day long, and ran the whole family alone, it looks beautiful on the outside, but who knows the loneliness and helplessness when I am alone?" So, do you think you are really sure that you will bring lifelong happiness to your daughter? ”

Sikong Shaoyang's heart sank heavily, and he admitted that he was speechless for these words. He lived in birth and death, and he was never afraid of death, but if he died one day after he was with Su Wu, what would Su Wu do? If it was his own body, he could not care about anything, but if there was a day, Su Wu would have to bear the pain alone, and Sikong Shaoyang would never be able to do it.

Looking at the silent Sikong Shaoyang, Jiang knew that his words had hit the key point in Sikong Shaoyang's heart, and his tone added a little calmness to the control: "Shaoyang, I know that you really like the little girl, but because of this, you should think about her true happiness." You don't have to answer me in a hurry, you can think about it for three days, and after three days I want to invite you to Su Mansion as a guest, and no matter what decision you make at that time, I hope you can make it clear in person in front of your concubine. ”
