It was almost impossible to communicate. Su Yizhao was just about to give the dog a lesson in love when he heard footsteps coming from far away.
"I heard that there will be delicacies at the dinner. I have to prepare it now. Brother Dog, I'll say goodbye!"
After Su Yizhao finished speaking, he put his hands behind his hands and left. The dog licked his mouth, snorted, and lay down again.
"Look, it's not that I want to laugh at you. Anyway, your life is worse than that of a dog."
At this time, the mouse girl poked her head out of her sleeves. She was rolling in her sleeves with laughter just now.
Su Yizhao pulled it out, threw it casually on the grass aside, and strode towards the yard.
Before leaving, I heard a mouse murmuring that she would burn the bridge by crossing the river.
Su Yizhao snorted in his heart. He could go anywhere without walking in her sleeves. He was so lazy.
When she returned to the yard, Yuerong and Yueqiu were immersed in joy.
"Unexpectedly, my wife has already asked people in the sewing room to prepare it. These new clothes are so beautiful. The young master has fair skin now. As long as he wears it, he will definitely be the most handsome young man."
Yueqiu took out the clothes and looked at them. When she saw that the size was just right, she couldn't help but laugh.
"This time I will ask our master to see where our young master is ugly? He is prejudiced."
Yuerong was also so happy that she completely forgot that the first time she met Su Yizhao, she was so ugly that she was speechless.
How deep is the courtyard? Spring has arrived in the cloud window and fog pavilion!
The red door curtain embroidered with hibiscus flowers blocks the slight spring chill outside the flower hall, and six screens carved with rocks, flowers and birds separate men and women, and they are seated separately.
There were three tables for men and women, and the flower hall was packed to the brim with a large family.
Su Yizhao couldn't help but become absentminded as he listened to the movements of the female family members next door.
I just went to visit the old lady. This is her first formal meeting with her elders back home.
Because it happened that the juniors in the mansion came to pay their respects, the other three heads of the house finally saw the real person.
The Su family is also prosperous. Mr. Su has four sons and one daughter. His daughter Su Rushi is married to He Zhongsheng, the eldest son of He.
He Zhongsheng is the Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. He is a fifth-rank official. He is not as good as the senior official in the family, but it is said that he is expected to be promoted next year.
Don't ask Su Yizhao how he knew it. When they were changing glasses at the banquet just now, everyone was congratulating this person. I think they were pretty much inseparable.
"Xiao Qi, eat more and take good care of yourself!"
Suddenly an egg yolk lion head was put into Su Yizhao's bowl, and she looked over with some surprise.
This is a young man with a handsome face, deep facial features, sharp eyebrows and deep eyes, and he has a good appearance.
Wearing an emerald green round-neck floral gown, it made the other person look more bookish, and his brows softened a lot.
This is the eldest son of the third master Su Wenzhou. His name is Su Yijue. He is eighteen years old and is celebrating the fifth anniversary of his birth!
The Su family has always separated men and women. There are several sisters. Su Yizhao has not matched their names and faces yet.
"Thank you, fifth brother!" Su Yizhao raised his face and smiled sweetly.
Don't reach out to hit the smiling person. This person is the first person to show kindness to himself today.
"Xiao Qi, eat more!"
Su Yijue touched Su Yizhao's head, and the soft touch under his hand made the corners of his mouth rise slightly.
Although she didn't know why this person showed kindness to her, for Su Yizhao at the moment, this was not her focus at all.
I have to say that the dishes at Zhongming Dingshi House are really exquisite.
The steamed chicken feet with drum sauce tastes very good, the mandarin fish with pine nuts is also delicious, and the chicken marrow and bamboo shoots are even more delicious.
Bamboo shoots in early spring are very tender, but they are hard to come by.
Only these wealthy families can afford it, but it may not be cheap.
Su Yizhao squinted her eyes as she ate. This was the first delicacy she had eaten since arriving in this dynasty.
Su Yijue looked at Su Yizhao with a satisfied expression, but his eyes were intriguing.
The people at this table are all juniors, the elders and the promising grandchildren of the family sit at the head table.
"The second child has been in office for three years. I wonder if there will be a transfer this year!"
Su Yizhao's eyes were immediately attracted to the person who spoke. This was the third master Su Wenzhou, who now served in the Hanlin Academy and served as an attendant of the sixth rank.
Mr. Su has put down his chopsticks and is currently stroking his beard.
The girls waiting at the side hurriedly came forward to clear away the dishes and chopsticks. A wealthy family is very particular about eating without talking or sleeping. The meal has already been finished!
"After the three-year term is over, if you are evaluated on merit, you will naturally be promoted. But I heard that there was a locust plague in Wenshan County, Changbei Prefecture last year, so I'm afraid it will be a little difficult!"
The eldest man, Su Wenchun, sighed. He was a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The tax revenue of Changbei Prefecture this year was 30% less than last year, so he naturally knew it.
Locust plague? Su Yizhao immediately pricked up his ears. Locusts like drought, so Changbei Prefecture should be in the north.
I heard from Yue Qiu a few days ago that Su Wenjing, the second master, was transferred to the magistrate of Wenshan County, Changbei Prefecture, and took his daughter to the post.
"What? I'm afraid the second brother will have no hope of promotion next year!" The third master, Su Wenzhou, also shook his head and sighed, looking quite regretful.
"This is a natural disaster, not caused by manpower! Wenshan County is a poor place. Even if the second brother advocates honest and wise policies and works hard, he is still unable to do what he can!"
After speaking, Mr. He Zhongsheng glanced at everyone, his eyes dark and inexplicable.
Everyone's expressions were different, but he continued: "The previous magistrates of Wenshan County have always sought no merit, but no fault. But I don't know why my second brother wants to find a job here."
"Even if it's a bitter cold place, someone has to go there. If it's not you and me, it's someone else."
The eldest master said something specious, but did not explain much about the second master's move.
"Before, my son-in-law and my second uncle had occasional chats. Seeing that my second uncle was injured and worried about the country and the people, I thought he wanted to share the worries of the court and the emperor. He couldn't bear the suffering of the people of Wenshan County, so he just wanted to try his best to save the people from the fire and water!"
Jiang Lianzhi, the eldest daughter-in-law, took over what her father-in-law said, but it was just a scene.
"If you succeed, you won't have to worry about your future. But in Wenshan County, if you can maintain success, you can be considered capable."
Sun Su Yiyuan, the eldest son of the Su family, shook his head. His second uncle had always been very ambitious, but he failed to get a good deal when he served as magistrate of Wenshan County. In the end, he escaped unscathed. That was all his luck.
"Ahem!"
The elder Su Wenchun coughed slightly, and Su Yiyuan realized that he had made a mistake.
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 thought highly of him. If he inherits the title in the future, his family will have to rely on him.
I am just a junior, so if I talk about my elders so arrogantly, it will make people feel frivolous if word spreads.
Su Yizhao pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation at the table while eating. It seemed that the second master was having a difficult time in office!
It stands to reason that Mrs. Su is a senior official from the third rank, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a wealthy place for his son to serve, right?
Is it for political achievements? 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 destiny."
The old man put down his tea bowl and said suddenly.
