HCB Chapter 441: Visitors from the Su Family (1)
Chapter 441: Visitors from the Su Family (1)
One of the purposes of this open expedition is to find people and also to recruit them.
After checking the information, it was found that the winter harassment outside the Great Wall over the past hundred years was mostly for the purpose of stealing food, which meant that the Beirong people could still survive and there would be no Fan Jin. The largest-scale military confrontation was twelve years ago, when the other side was brainwashed by the Yun family.
Overall, Shen Yu thinks that the Beirong people are quite gentlemanly. If that's the case, why not invite them to join if they can't be driven away? That's better than being harassed endlessly, right?
Unfortunately, as a senior ancient person, Lu Yingxing still believes that those who are not of the same race must have different hearts. However, she is a generation that grew up under the red flag, and it is her instinct to tolerate different nationalities. She proposed to use Nan County to retain the people of Jianghu and accommodate the people of Beirong.
When there are no more enemies outside the Great Wall, the snow-capped mountains’ resources will become the North’s trump card.
We can't simply judge who is wrong based on her and Lu Yingxing's ideas. They grew up in different environments. But suddenly she understood why the aristocratic families of the previous dynasty could not integrate into Zhuocheng for hundreds of years. Even the Ji family, the Mu family, the Lu family and even the Su family, weren't they reminding themselves of their differences all the time?
Perhaps the opening of Nan County this time will be a brand new beginning...
Shen Yu looked at Nie Jing, who was indignant, and tried to explain to him seriously, "First of all, I want to know you. I am willing to say that you and Xue Zhenzhen cooperated to poison my shop, right?"
Nie Jing, "..."
"Then you tricked me into saving you in the dark alley, and then you told me that the incident at Lingzhu Temple was related to me. You were actually trying to get me to help you find out the truth about your wife's murder, right?"
Nie Jing, "..."
"After that, you insisted that I was the cause of the disaster, forced your son into my hands, and forced me to take care of your baby, right?"
Nie Jing, "..."
"Until now, you are still shamelessly forcing yourself to join Prince Zhuo's Mansion..."
"Okay, okay, listen to how many times you said 'forced'? Was it really that forced? I wasn't..." Facing the pairs of contemptuous eyes, Nie Jing paused. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm not... I'm taking care of you on behalf of your third uncle!!" Finally thinking of the reason, Nie Jing was very confident. Yes, I'm just taking care of my best friend's nephew!
Tsk! If the look of contempt could be turned into sharp blades, there would be dozens of swords by now, which would scare him to death if they couldn't kill him.
"I didn't know that... Brother Nie is so shameless now that he has started to embarrass the younger generation."
Suddenly, a teasing male voice sounded. Everyone looked over and saw Lu Yingxing entering with a handsome young man, followed by General Gu who had not been seen for a long time. Oh, that was Gu Liu.
Nie Jing frowned in displeasure, glared at the visitor and said, "Nonsense! Your third uncle has gone out to enjoy himself, and you don't allow me to help you look after your niece?"
Eh? Third uncle?
If someone else brought him in, Shen Yu would inevitably doubt his identity, but Lu Yingxing personally brought him up, so he must be the third uncle of the Su family. "Why are you here?"
Lu Yingxing held her outstretched hand and frowned, "Why are your hands cold? Someone, bring a fire tray over."
Shen Yu, "..." I'm just not hot enough to make my hands sweat like you, so you don't have to insist that they're cold, right?
Facing his wife's rejecting look, Lu Yingxing helped the man sit down, "Young Master Su was stopped downstairs, and I just happened to see him and brought him up."
Following his words, Shen Yu's eyes met with this third uncle whom he had "never met before".
His eyes were slightly red, and he looked at his own expression, which showed that he was obviously suppressing his excitement. Shen Yu was afraid to deal with this kind of "most familiar stranger" because they were really unfamiliar... The one who had seen her was her original self. Although in her memory, her uncles were all very kind to her, Shen Yu still instinctively hid behind Lu Yingxing.
Taifu Su had three sons and one daughter, which could be called four outstanding people in his family.
He himself was the former Grand Tutor of Linyue State, and his eldest son Su Heng was once the Minister of Revenue. He was extremely talented, and his ability to make money is still talked about today. During his tenure, the treasury of Luocheng was the most abundant. The position that his scumbag father Shen Nian took over was actually that of his eldest brother-in-law.
The second son, Su Chang, was once the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple. He was impartial and good at solving cases. His reputation was known throughout Luo City and made criminals tremble in fear. Zheng Yu's elder brother, who was the youngest Chief Justice of the Dali Temple in history and the top scholar, was also Su Chang's most promising subordinate.
As for the third son, Su Wei, although he never entered the official career, he had his own world. He loved the stories of chivalry since he was a child and vowed to travel all over the world. Wherever he went, he would make friends with poetry and wine, and write with his brush. Those impromptu poems, like his footprints, spread all over the country and were widely circulated, attracting countless literati and poets to admire him.
The only daughter was Su Yisha, the original mother of Shen Yu. The story of the daughter of the imperial tutor and the scholar who won the imperial examination was once a beautiful story.
The reason why the Su family's massacre caused such a sensation was because each of the family members was very talented and well-known in Luocheng and even the entire Linyue Kingdom. Therefore, during the six years that Shen Yu had been in the book, he never suspected that the Su family members had faked their deaths to escape, because they were too conspicuous. Even if such people were hiding their identities, they would always have some rumors. As a result, he was slapped in the face...
Seeing his niece hiding from him, Su Weizhong couldn't help but feel sad. They left in a hurry. In his memory, Yu'er was only nine or ten years old? But now she has grown into a beautiful lady and is married...
They might even blame the Su family for leaving, which led to their mother's death during childbirth. This was also the reason why they had not dared to show up even though they had arrived in Xi County a long time ago.
Looking at the sadness in his eyes, Shen Yu blinked, and finally realized that it was her attitude that caused the other party to misunderstand her.
So she grabbed Lu Yingxing's back and deliberately acted cute and asked, "Excuse me...are you my third uncle?"
Su Wei's eyes lit up and he immediately smiled with his eight teeth showing, "Yes, yes, I am your third uncle. Xiao Yuer, have you forgotten about your third uncle?" After saying this, he pouted and pretended to be aggrieved.
With a light cough, Master Yu admitted defeat. The cute style is really not suitable for me.
Hearing this address, Lu Yingxing knew that this out-of-town wife was still wanted, so he became a little gentler, "Third Uncle."
"Hey! Be good, be good!"
Seeing his friend smiling foolishly, Nie Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Hey, hey, hey, can you guys catch up some other time?"
Having successfully attracted all the hatred at the scene, Nie Jing put away his smile and knelt on one knee again, "Prince Zhuo, since you are here, I will say it again, I hope to join Prince Zhuo's Mansion, no matter what position I hold."
Lu Yingxing raised his eyebrows and looked at his wife's speechless expression, knowing that she had refused before.
Seeing him smiling without saying anything, neither refusing nor accepting, with a look as if to see how long he could kneel, Shen Yu suddenly realized that it seemed that after coming to Zhuocheng, Lu Yingxing had never used this set of smiling tiger acting skills of a handsome young man again?
Is this going to cause trouble?
