It took Wen Yiheng's team almost an hour to finally walk out of the main street and come to the front of the Zhuguo Mansion.

Wen Yiheng's father, Wen Qizheng, the prince of Zhuguo, had already led the whole family to wait outside the door. After seeing Wen Yiheng helping Su Jiudong get out of the car, Zhu Guogong, who had red eyes, stepped forward to support Wen Yiheng's shoulder, and said with tears in his eyes: "Zichu is back... After almost two years away from home, you're finally back. ”

"Zichu didn't return for two years, and he failed to fulfill his filial piety under his knees. It was the son's unfilial piety at the beginning that made his father worried. Wen Yiheng also returned the salute to Zhu Guogong, and it can be seen that the relationship between the father and son seems to be very harmonious.

Wen Yiheng does not look like Zhu Guogong, Wen Yiheng looks more gentle, while Zhu Guogong has more of the demeanor of a military general.

Before coming, Su Jiudong had already inquired about the situation from Ding Xuming, and knew that Zhu Guogong was a soldier, and he was named Zhu Guogong with his outstanding achievements when he was young. Now he is old and idle at home, but he still enjoys the second-grade treatment of Zhu Guogong.

But when Su Jiudong asked about the children of the ladies in the backyard, Ding Xuming was silent and did not ask why.

Su Jiudong noticed that among the people standing behind Zhu Guogong, there was a young man with a similar face to Zhu Guogong, both of whom had a handsome face of the more resolute type.

Su Jiudong estimated that the young man was also the son of Zhu Guogong and Wen Yiheng's younger brother.

Different from the happy atmosphere of Zhu Guogong and Wen Yiheng, the men and women who looked like masters standing in front of the gate looked much more indifferent.

Especially the two young women, although they also had smiles on their faces, Su Jiudong could sensitively capture the dissatisfaction and disdain in their smiles.

Su Jiudong judged that the noble lady should be Wen Yiheng's mother, and the two young women were Wen Yiheng's younger sisters.

Well... It is estimated that it is a mother and sister who are not close.

…… I'm afraid that this pillar of the state mansion is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface.

After greeting Zhu Guogong, he led Su Jiudong and his party to introduce Zhu Guogong's identity one by one, and finally focused on Su Jiudong and Su Ting'an; "Father, this is the wife I have mentioned to you many times, Su Jiudong."

Zhu Guogong was very satisfied with Su Jiudong's appearance, and praised: "He is a well-behaved and smooth good boy, and he looks good, and he has been looking for many years in vain." ”

Wen Yiheng put Su Ting'an's claypot on his arm and said proudly: "Father, this is An'er." ”

As soon as Zhu Guogong saw the white and stocky Su Ting'an, he smiled and smiled: "An'er, come quickly, let Grandpa hug!" ”

"Are you my grandfather?" Su Tingan was hugged by Zhu Guogong from Wen Yiheng's arms, and he was not timid. After getting the nod of Zhu Guogong, he also kissed Zhu Guogong affectionately on the face, and Zhu Guogong was even more overjoyed.

After the end of Zhu Guogong and Su Ting'an's "intergenerational relationship", Zhu Guogong finally remembered to continue to introduce: "Zichu, don't you introduce your mother and younger siblings to your wife soon." ”

When the noble lady Cui heard Zhu Guogong's words, she came forward to greet her: "Zichu has been out for two years, and now I finally know that I am back." It's good to be back, don't go out and run around in the future, hide in front of your father and do your filial piety. ”

Cui's words were weird, but it didn't affect Wen Yiheng in the slightest, Wen Yiheng replied with a smile: "I haven't seen each other for two years, my mother looks very well, she still has mental strength, and the food and money in our Guogong Mansion are indeed very supportive." ”

Su Jiudong noticed that Wen Yiheng's self-proclaimed name to Zhu Guogong was Wen Yiheng's word "Zichu". And when facing Cui's is the cold and concise word "I", it seems that the relationship between Wen Yiheng and Cui's is indeed as she thought, and it is not harmonious.

However, how can a mother in this world not like to love her children?

Cui Shi replied to Wen Yiheng with a faint WeChat, and continued to quietly call the young man and the two young women, and introduced the young man to Su Jiudong:

"What's your name? Nine winters, right? You've just arrived, and you probably don't know them. This is my son and Zichu's younger brother Sibo. Cui deliberately accentuated the words "my son", which was much more proud than when mentioning Wen Yiheng.

There is such a big difference between before and after, this Cui family must be Wen Yiheng's stepmother and the continuation of Zhu Guogong.

Wen Sibo pulled out a perfunctory smile at Su Jiudong, then retreated behind Zhu Guogong and continued to cast an unkind look at Wen Yiheng.

Cui Shi brought Su Jiudong to the young woman who also looked like Zhu Guogong between her eyebrows and eyes, and introduced, "This is my eldest daughter Yuya. ”

He also introduced another young woman who looked similar to Cui's and said, "This is my youngest daughter Xiu." They are all Zichu's younger sisters. "Glamorous e-books

The eldest daughter Wen Yuya and the second daughter Wen Xiubing both showed a synchronous smile to Su Jiudong, but Wen Xiubing was even more cold than Wen Yuya, and she didn't smile very clearly, and seemed to look down on Su Jiudong: "You are the girl from the mountain village?" ”

"Although Qishan County is only a small mountain village, it is also a relatively wealthy village and county in Hangzhou, and the folk customs are simple, and there are different folk customs and scenery from the capital."

Wen Xiubing's voice was sweet, but her tone was indifferent and arrogant: "No matter how different it is, it is still a mountain village." Not only the scenery and folk customs cannot be compared with the capital, but also the people, even more incomparable. ”

When Wen Xiubing saw Su Jiudong for the first time, she didn't like Su Jiudong to be more beautiful than her, she was obviously thinner and taller than her, and her bearing seemed to be more extraordinary than her.

Wen Xiubing's tone was not good, even full of hostility, Su Jiudong did not intend to back down, and said sarcastically with a smile: "There is indeed no comparison between people. The eyes of a woman in the capital are taller than those of a woman from a small mountain village like me. ”

"It's just that the eyes are too high, and it seems that it is easy to see others." After Su Jiudong finished speaking, the smile on his face was even bigger, and the person was more beautiful.

"You're saying I have no one in sight?!" Wen Xiubing's tone was cold, but her eyes seemed to burst into flames: "The woman from Xiaoshan City is indeed more fierce and less polite after giving birth. ”

Zhu Guogong and Wen Yiheng walked to Su Jiudong's side, and Cui Shi came out to play a round: "Okay, okay, the small talk between the two of you is enough, let's stop here today, there is still more time to get along in the future, don't rush at this time." ”

After Cui finished speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Guogong's arm and warmly beckoned everyone into the house.

After meeting Wen Yiheng's family one by one, Su Jiudong and Liu Yunniang were finally able to enter the small courtyard arranged for them by Wen Yiheng to rest.

Su Jiudong originally planned not to follow Wen Yiheng into the Guogong Mansion and rent a house outside to live in first, but after learning about the land price and housing prices in the capital, Su Jiudong gave up this naïve idea and agreed to Wen Yiheng's arrangement to let Su Jiudong's family live in Guogong.

Su Jiudong's one-year profit from running a medicinal restaurant in Qishan County was not enough for her to rent a house in the capital for three months.

Su Jiudong sighed deeply, no matter in modern or ancient times, doing real estate is three words: very profitable!

Although she has now come to the Guogong Mansion and is taken care of by a maid and servant in the courtyard, Liu Yunniang still does not feel at ease and follows the servants to help Su Tingan and Ah Rong clean up and freshen up respectively, while Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng are talking in the main hall.

"I had a magical hunch." Su Jiudong said bluntly: "I have a hunch that after entering Beijing, it will be more lively in your house than in the Su family before." ”

"Your hunch is accurate." Wen Yiheng affirmed the Su family's conjecture and said casually: "Originally, I planned to escort you to the General's Mansion, let you recognize General Su, and then live in the General's Mansion." Wait until I get married, and then I will bring you to the Guogong Mansion. ”

"However, General Su didn't return from the battle, and I didn't feel at ease letting you live outside, so I still vacated this small courtyard next to my yard for you to live in. The yard is full of my people, you can use it with confidence, and you don't have to worry about the ears on the partition wall. ”

"I'm not worried about the people in the yard, but about your mother and younger siblings." Su Jiudong let out a long sigh: "They are not your biological mother and younger brothers and sisters." ”

"Cui was originally just a pianist, and my father took it back to continue the strings three years after my biological mother passed away. A year after entering the Mansion, she gave birth to Wen Sibo, who is my younger brother... My brother who is against me at every turn. Wen Yiheng's voice became even deeper.

Two years after giving birth to Sibo, she gave birth to her eldest sister Yuya, and two years later gave birth to her second sister Xiubing. looks like her father's eyebrows and eyes are the eldest sister Yuya, she is good at writing poems and writing, and she is a talented girl in the Beijing boudoir circle. ”

"Slightly similar to Cui's is the second sister Xiubing, who is cold in front of outsiders, but is actually a hot-tempered person. However, she is extremely talented, and she is as good at the piano as Cui's, and is often invited by the imperial concubine to perform music in the palace. ”

Su Jiudong said disdainfully: "No wonder they are so arrogant, they look down on me, a girl from a small mountain village, inside and outside their words." ”

Wen Yiheng was not surprised by this: "Arrogance is one of their nature. Although the three of them and I are not siblings, I am still willing to have a good relationship with them. They rejected me thousands of miles away, and I naturally wouldn't be stupid to stick to them. ”

Su Jiudong came to Wen Yiheng's side, looked down at Wen Yiheng who was sitting condescendingly, and guessed: "Listening to your tone, it seems that you had something unpleasant with them when you were young......"

"There are too many unpleasant things, and so many bad things. But that's all in the past, and now I don't bother with that little thing, because I have more important things to deal with. Wen Yiheng mentioned the past with a faint sense of disgust.

Su Jiudong was puzzled: "Since you don't get along well, why don't you move out to open a mansion?" I see that all dynasties and dynasties have had prime ministers' mansions. ”

"As early as after I received the holy decree and was appointed as the prime minister of Shangshuling, I mentioned to my father that I wanted to go out to open a mansion. My father disagreed, and asked me to promise not to move out of the country. At that time, my father was serious and did not back down, so I could only agree. ”

Su Jiudong didn't care about this: "Your father only asked you to promise not to move, but he didn't let you say that you would never be allowed to move." There's still a chance you'll be able to escape from here in the future. ”
