Drunk House

Su Xu has served in Jiangzhou for many years, and now he has received an order from His Majesty to be transferred to the capital to serve in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

 He ​​has been an official for many years, and it is not as fast as his son's promotion, but he is still very happy. After all, his son is really promising.

 Among all the young officials in Daliang, there is no one more promising than his son.

However, he was very happy and wanted to resign.

He had already given His Majesty an excuse to resign, but His Majesty rejected it. He was thinking of returning to Beijing and begging Your Majesty again when he met His Majesty, trying to let Your Majesty see the pitiful circumstances of his separation from his wife. Department, let him resign.

Speaking of which, Su Xu was full of resentment. When the eldest lady left, he knew that she would not come back so soon. He had already expected that that heartless woman had not had him in her heart when she was young. Later he learned that He told what happened when she was young, and he heartily took in the aunt she gave to him, and then blocked the way for the two of them to fall in love. Later, after breaking the pot, he took the initiative to carry out one house after another. When my aunt came in, she completely gave up all thoughts of falling in love with her.

They no longer fight or quarrel. He becomes her master and she becomes his eldest wife. The wives and concubines live in harmony and the family is harmonious. In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up.

When she was about to leave for Nanchu, he suddenly realized that he was afraid that she would never come back. Now, five years later, even if he was reluctant to leave her when she left, it was useless to hold her and cry. He has no intention of coming back. He spends his days happily guarding his daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter in Nanchu, and he doesn't want to miss Shu.

Now that her daughter is pregnant again, she has even more reason not to come back.

If he didn't go to Nanchu to find her, he would probably forget about her.

Su Xu preceded Su Xingze and entered the capital. After settling in, Su Xingze and Liu Yu also entered the capital. Although the father and son wrote letters every month, they hadn't seen each other for five years. Now that they meet, Su Xu Zi's ​​eyes were red, and he was very pleased with the prospective daughter-in-law he had brought back. After all, without the care of the eldest lady, he almost doubted that his son would be a bachelor. Fortunately, a girl took a fancy to him.

 At night, the father and son talked by lamplight.

Su Xu complained to Su Xingze, "I'm afraid your mother has forgotten all about home. The last letter she sent was half a year ago."

Su Xingze looked at his father and couldn't bear to tell him that his mother wrote to him quite frequently, at least one letter every month. In the past six months, he received four letters from her. Compared with only one letter from my father, it is really tragic.

Su Xu asked: "How many letters has your mother written to you in the past six months?"

Su Xingze kindly lied to his father, "Two letters."

Su Xu felt better, "She has only written two letters to you, her biological son. It seems reasonable to write one to me."

Su Xingze nodded silently.

Su Xu's eyes turned red again, "I miss her. I want to resign and go find her. I haven't seen the little cutie yet."

Su Xingze sighed, "Father, please hold on for two more years! Among the courtiers, you are not old enough to serve as an official. Besides, it is also the time for the government to employ people."

"Why is it just a matter of time to hire people? How many talented people have your Majesty selected to join the court over the years? We are full of talented people in Daliang." Su Xu didn't understand.

Su Xingze lowered his voice and said, "The war is about to begin." Su Xu sat up straight and lowered his voice, "Why so fast?"

"Nanchu is ready. Now we just have to wait for the beams to be ready. After everything is ready, it will naturally be put on the agenda." Su Xingze said.

Su Xu didn't say anything for a while, "Well, if there's a fight, how long will it take?"

Su Xingze shook his head, "I don't know."

He looked at Su Xu, "Your Majesty transferred me to the Ministry of War and you to the Ministry of Household Affairs for this purpose."

The Ministry of War must be well-prepared with troops and horses, and the Ministry of Households must have sufficient food and grass. Such important matters can only be left to trusted people. Yan Huisheng trusted the Su family and his son. Because he knew that when the two countries joined forces, the Su family and his son were the ones who most wanted Daliang and Nanchu to win.

Su Xu sighed deeply and ran out of ideas, "Okay, we still have to put national affairs first."

He had no choice but to ask, "Can you persuade your mother to come back and have a look?" After saying that, he changed his mind and said, "No, your advice probably won't work. Just get married as soon as possible and she will come back."

Su Xingze was helpless, "Father, there's still half a year left. I've just returned to Beijing and have a lot of things to do. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time. Besides, I just made an appointment with Liu Yu, so I can't marry her too hastily."

Su Xu complained, "Tell me, what have you done so long ago? You should have gotten married early, and you should have decided on someone last year. You are already so old, and Liu Yu is not too young. Are you still Do you want to delay it for another two years? What if the war lasts for three to five years? You will never get married? How can this be done? In my opinion, in this half year, you should get married as soon as possible and complete your marriage."

Su Xingze looked at him and said, "Even if I get married within half a year, my mother may not come back. My sister is pregnant again and is a month old. She has to take care of her sister."

Su Xu no longer felt sorry for his daughter at this time, and immediately said: "The eldest princess Sheng'an and the Duke's wife are all around, and there is no shortage of her. There are many people around Xiaoqi who will take good care of her. My biological son is getting married. , how could she not come back? She is your only son."

Su Xingze looked at his father, considered it for a moment, and nodded with a smile, "That's fine. My son will discuss it with Yu'er tomorrow. If she agrees, I will prepare it as soon as possible, and then write a letter to my mother and sister to mention this matter."

Su Xu suddenly became happy, "Yes, that's it. After you get married, you should also have a child as soon as possible. Your mother will no longer care about Nanchu when she has a grandson. She will always be at home to help you take care of the heir."

Su Xingze laughed, "That's not necessarily true. Father, don't think too much. Nanchu is so comfortable that even the old Duke and Princess Sheng'an don't plan to come back, let alone my mother. She likes her sister the most and is happy to accompany her. There is nothing anyone can do about her."

Su Xu sighed, "Hey."

He also wanted to go to Nanchu, but he couldn't help himself and couldn't leave. He really regretted being angry with her when he was young.

Su Xingze looked at his father and didn't know what to say. Like Su Rong, he once thought that his father didn't have deep feelings for his mother just like an ordinary couple, so he took care of his mother from room to room. Concubine, living a harmonious life of wives and concubines, just like ordinary people but different from others.

Unexpectedly, my father liked my mother. It is said that in the past five years, although he was accompanied by his aunts, he often liked to sleep alone in his mother's house. None of the aunts were jealous to begin with, so they just let her go, and their days were getting by without any turmoil in their lives.

He will not follow his father's path. He gave Liu Yu a few years to grow up. She still likes him, so he recognizes her. From now on, he will only have her as his wife. (End of chapter)
