"Speaking of which, the Su family has been really lively these days." I only heard a villager say casually, "Two days ago, a senior official who seemed to be from other places came to visit us in this poor and remote place. Isn't it just for Old Lady Su......"

Du Bai paid a little attention to it, and it could be seen that the old lady's connections were still quite extensive. In an era like this, although a businessman is rich, his status is not very high, and it is good to be able to get acquainted with officials, but if he is a true confidant, it is obviously a charismatic personality.

The old mansion of the Su family is still quite conspicuous among the low-rise adobe houses, after all, it has been renovated and rebuilt many times after making a fortune. However, luxury is not to be said, and even compared to the current Su family's property, this ancestral house looks a little shabby.

This is because Mrs. Su is a nostalgic person, he spent his childhood in this house, and now he also hopes to keep that pure time as much as possible.

The carriage and horse finally stopped slowly in front of the mansion, Du Bai glanced through the curtain of the car, the door plaque seemed to have faded slightly after a long time of wind and rain, but the two words "Su Mansion" were still undiminished, and the dragon and phoenix seemed to be able to imagine how high-spirited the author was back then.

A group of servants who had been waiting for a long time in front of the door stepped forward to help carry the luggage, but the master was still nowhere to be seen.

Old lady Su naturally didn't come out to greet her when she was unwell, but the mysterious sister-in-law didn't show up, which made Du Bai's originally curious mind fall short for the time being.

got out of the car, and on the other side, Su Wanmiao also got out of the car with Ying'er's support, and the first thing she said was to ask the next person on the side: "Where are grandpa and second miss?" ”

"The old lady is talking with Master Fan in the lobby, and the second lady is serving on the side."

The man did not dare to hide it, and immediately replied.

"Master Fan?" Su Wanmiao was slightly stunned when she heard this, and the smile on her face that had originally returned to her hometown gradually faded, as if something was on her mind, she glanced at Du Bai, but quickly withdrew her gaze, but the uneasiness was already beyond words.

"Does it have anything to do with me?" Du Bai was a little confused, but he always felt that something was wrong, especially after hearing this Lord Fan, not only Wanmiao, but even Ying'er's face changed slightly, and she looked at him with a worried look.

"Is it your enemy?" He pondered, but he also felt unlikely.

The predecessor was a broken scholar, how could he provoke a distinguished official?

When everything was almost moved, Su Wanmiao, who had stopped there, seemed to be mentally prepared, barely showed a gentle smile, and ordered the subordinates next to her to slowly step into the mansion.

Du Bai was about to follow, but at this time, Ying'er deliberately walked two steps slower and leaned to his side, and reminded in a low voice: "Uncle, that Lord Fan's son once pursued the eldest lady, and the master also intended to promote it." Only later...... Still didn't work out. ”

His steps paused, but his heart was abrupt.

No wonder...... Rival?!

"So uncle, you have to be careful later, Ying'er believes in you......"

After Ying'er finished speaking, she clenched her little fist, gave him a small encouraging look, and then hurriedly followed Su Wanmiao, looking back at him from time to time.

Du Bai couldn't cry or laugh a little, but he hadn't expected this stubble at all before he came, and he still had some strange feelings in his heart.

Shaking his head slightly, he threw some strange thoughts out of his head, he packed up his mood, and with a normal heart, he officially stepped into the gate that had been inherited by the Su family for hundreds of years.

Walking through the courtyard in front of the hall, you can faintly hear the hearty laughter of the old man in front of you, and it seems that you are talking very friendly.

After walking the last distance, Du Bai finally saw the scene in the lobby clearly.

I saw an old man with gray hair and a slightly haggard face that seemed to be recovering from a serious illness sitting on the main seat, with a thick mink skin between his legs to keep warm. However, his spirit is good, he is talking and laughing with the guests, and he has the appearance of being imposing as he was back then.

It should be the old lady Su.

The guest sitting next to him was a middle-aged man who was not angry and arrogant, and his voice unconsciously carried a bit of official majesty when he spoke, and his identity did not need to be guessed. And this person is wearing a silk casual clothes, although it does not seem to be luxurious, but if you see a piece of jade around your waist, it is worth a lot at a glance.

This should be the Fan-sama.

And each of the two elders has a junior on each side to serve.

Master Fan is a young man with clear facial features and a handsome face, wearing a brocade suit, you can see a gentle and elegant temperament from a distance, and the conversation is not humble or arrogant, when listening to the communication between the two elders, he will sometimes express his own opinions, so that the two elders are satisfied and nod, hehe praises.

On the other side is a girl who is somewhat similar to Su Wanmiao's appearance, also outstanding and eye-catching, but it is different from her sister's maturity and stability, and the slightly upturned arc between her eyebrows and eyes shows that her temperament must not be quiet, and it is indeed similar to what she has heard before.

For example, at this time, although she tried very hard to correct her posture and show a little well-behaved smile, there was only boredom in her eyes, maybe in her eyes, staying in the room and sleeping was more interesting than sitting here.

She should be that sister-in-law - Su Zhirou.

Until the sound of footsteps in front of the courtyard, she turned her head with some joy, and when she saw her sister Su Wanmiao, she suddenly got up and walked quickly to this side, and threw herself into Su Wanmiao's arms and rubbed it coquettishly.

"Sister...... You're finally here! ”

She made a coquettish sound like a kitten's purr.

Seeing this scene, Du Bai couldn't help but laugh secretly and thought, "This little sister-in-law is really extraordinary......

"You're not a kid anymore." Su Wanmiao felt that the eyes of several people in the hall were looking at her, and she couldn't help blushing a little, and hurriedly urged her to have a positive shape and not to mess around.

"Wanmiao, you're back!" Old Lady Su looked at her, smiled kindly, and then turned her gaze to Du Bai on the side, as if she was a little relieved, "It's good that they're all back." ”

"Yes, grandpa. Wanmiao is back. Su Wanmiao couldn't resist her wayward sister, so she had to reply like this, "I could have arrived earlier, but some things on the way were delayed......"

Out of politeness, Du Bai stepped forward and saluted: "Son-in-law Du Bai has seen grandpa. ”

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the eyes around him were focused on him.

Whether it was Wan Miao's worried eyes, the slightly hostile eyes of the sister-in-law, or the slightly implicit scrutiny of Lord Fan, and finally the some emotions hidden under his son's gentleness, he noticed them one by one.

"Looks like trouble is coming." Du Bai sighed lightly.

But fortunately, there was no unexpected situation, and the old lady Su saw that everyone was inevitably tired, so he waved his hand and asked his servants to prepare the banquet, and invited Master Fan to stay here for one night, and it was not too late to leave tomorrow.
