Chapter 11: The Family Feast

It was impossible to communicate, Su Yizhao was about to give the dog a love education, when he heard footsteps from far and near.

"I heard that there are delicacies from the mountains and seas at the dinner party, I have to prepare it now, and Brother Dog will say goodbye!"

After Su Yizhao finished speaking, he walked away, the dog licked his mouth, snorted, and lay down again.

"Look, it's not like I'm going to laugh at you, you're not as good as a dog anyway."

At this moment, the rat girl poked her head out of her sleeve, and it rolled in her sleeve with laughter just now.

Su Yizhao pulled it out, threw it on the grass on the side at will, and strode towards the yard.

Before leaving, I heard the mouse muttering, saying that she crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

Su Yizhao snorted coldly in her heart, she didn't have to walk in her sleeve, she could go anywhere, she was really lazy.

When she returned to the courtyard, Yuerong and Yueqiu were immersed in joy.

"I didn't expect that my wife has already asked the people in the needlework room to prepare, this new dress is so beautiful, the young master is now white-skinned, as long as he wears it, he will definitely be the best-looking son."

Yueqiu took out her clothes and looked at them, and when she saw that the size was just right, she couldn't help laughing.

"This time, I will tell our master to see, where is our young master ugly? He's prejudice. ”

Yuerong was also overjoyed, completely forgetting that when she saw Su Yizhao for the first time, she was also so ugly that she couldn't speak.

The courtyard is a little deeper, and the spring of the cloud window fog pavilion has arrived!

The door curtain of the red embroidered hibiscus flower blocks the little spring cold outside the flower hall, and the six screens carved by the flowers and birds of the mountain stone separate the men and women and separate them into seats.

There are three tables for men and women, and a large family of people crowds the flower hall.

Su Yizhao listened to the movement of the lady next door, and couldn't help but start to be absent-minded.

I went to see the old lady just now, and this was the first official occasion for her to meet the elders when she returned to the house.

Because it happened that the younger generations in the house went to ask for peace, the other three heads finally saw the real person.

The Su family is also prosperous, the old man Su has four sons and one daughter, and his daughter Su Ruxi is married to He Zhongsheng, the son of the He family.

He Zhongsheng is the official position of Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, from the five grades. It's not as good as the big man in the house, but it is said that he is expected to be promoted next year.

Don't ask Su Yizhao how he knew, when he pushed the cup and changed the lamp at the banquet just now, he was all congratulated on this, and he thought it would be eight or nine to ten.

"Xiao Qi, eat more and take care of your body!"

Suddenly, an egg yolk lion head was put into Su Yizhao's bowl, and she looked over with some surprise.

This is a handsome young man with deep facial features, deep sword eyebrows, and a good look.

Dressed in an emerald green round-necked tuanhua gown, it made the other party a little more bookish, and his eyebrows softened a lot.

This is the eldest son of the third master Su Wenzhou, named Su Yijue, eighteen years old, five in the house!

Su Fu has always been ranked separately for men and women, and there are several sisters, and Su Yizhao has not yet matched his name and face.

"Thank you, Fifth Brother!" Su Yizhao raised his face and smiled sweetly.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling man, this is the first person to release kindness to himself today.

"Xiao Qi eat more!"

Su Yijue touched Su Yizhao's brain, and the soft touch under his hand made the corners of his mouth rise slightly.

Although I don't know why this person released kindness to her, for the current Su Yizhao, this is not her focus at all.

I have to say that the banquet of this Zhong Ming Ding Food House is really exquisite.

The taste of steamed chicken feet in drum sauce is very good, the pine nut fish is also delicious, and the taste of chicken pith bamboo shoots is even more delicious.

Bamboo shoots in early spring are very tender, but they are not easy to obtain.

These big families will be able to afford it, and I'm afraid it's not cheap.

Su Yizhao narrowed her eyes when she ate, this was the first meal she had eaten since she arrived in this dynasty.

Su Yijue looked at Su Yizhao with a satisfied expression, but his eyes were intriguing.

At this table, all the juniors sit at the junior table, and the elders and grandchildren who have a wealth of interest in the family sit at the first table.

"The second child has been in office for three years, I don't know if there will be a transfer this year!"

Su Yizhao's gaze was immediately attracted by the person who spoke, this is the third master Su Wenzhou, who is now serving in the Hanlin Academy, serving as the attendant of the sixth grade.

Old Man Su has already put down his chopsticks and is stroking his beard at the moment.

The girls who were waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the big families paid attention to food without saying a word, which was already finished eating!

"At the end of the three-year term, if it is an excellent evaluation, it is naturally a prospect for promotion. However, I heard that there was a locust plague in Wenshan County, Changbei Prefecture last year, and I'm afraid it was a little difficult! ”

The eldest lord Su Wenchun sighed, he is a household langzhong, and the tax revenue of Changbei Mansion this year is thirty percent less than last year, so he naturally knows.

Locusts? Su Yizhao immediately pricked up his ears. Locusts like drought, so this Changbei Mansion should be in the north.

A few days ago, I heard Yueqiu say that the second master, Su Wenjing, became the magistrate of Wenshan County, Changbei Prefecture, and took his female dependents to take office.

"This? I'm afraid that the second brother will be hopeless for promotion next year! The third master, Su Wenzhou, also shook his head and sighed, looking quite regretful.

"This is a natural disaster, not a human doing! Wenshan County is a poor place, even if the second brother advocates honesty and clear policies, it is difficult to be alone, it is not enough! ”

After the eldest aunt He Zhongsheng finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and his eyes were dark and inexplicable.

Everyone looked different, but he continued: "The successive magistrates of Wenshan County are not seeking no merit, but seeking no fault, but I don't know why the second brother asked to seek a job here. ”

"Even in a bitter cold place, someone has to go. If it's not you or me, it's someone else. ”

The eldest master said something specious, but he did not explain much about the second master's move.

"Before, the son-in-law and the second uncle had occasional chats, watching the second uncle feel sad when he was sad, worried about the country and the people, I think I also want to share the worries of the court and the saint, I can't bear the suffering of the people of Wenshan County, and I want to try my best to save the people from fire and water!"

Jiang Lianzhi, the uncle of the long house, took over the words of his father-in-law, but it was also a scene.

"If you succeed, you will naturally not worry about the future. But in that place in Wenshan County, it can be regarded as capable if it can be kept. ”

Su Yiyuan, the head of the Su family, shook his head, the second uncle has always been ambitious, but he failed to please the magistrate of Wenshan County, and finally retreated, which was a blessing.

"Ahem!"

The eldest lord Su Wenchun suddenly coughed lightly, and Su Yiyuan realized that he had lost his words.

Su Yiyuan regretted a little, he was a little casual in front of his father on weekdays, so he forgot about today's occasion.

What is Jiang Lianzhi's identity? His grandfather has always looked down on him, and if he inherits the title in the future, his family will have to rely on him.

I'm just a junior, and if I talk about my elders so much, it can't help but make people feel frivolous when it spreads.

Su Yizhao pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation at the table while eating, it seems that the second master is having some difficulties in his office!

It stands to reason that Mrs. Su is a member of the third grade, and it shouldn't be difficult to find a rich place for her son, right?

Is it for political performance? That's a bit radical.

"His own choice, our Su family's family motto, must have a beginning and an end. What happens in the future depends on his own creation. ”

The old lady put down the tea bowl and said suddenly.
