Song Lan was so frightened by her daughter's actions that she turned pale, but she didn't dare to speak due to the crowd.
I saw that Su Shizong did not blame him, but motioned Su Yin to stand aside.
On the side, a group of people headed by Madam Wang Sumei all looked surprised, as if they were seeing Su Yin for the first time.
"Thank you for all your hard work these years." Su Shizong put down the tea cup and looked at everyone at leisure.
The eldest lady Wang Sumei's eyes suddenly turned red, "It is my duty to take care of the family business for the prime minister, and I don't feel it is hard." I thought that the prime minister had returned to Qingbei this time but did not step foot into the house, and he had already lost all of them.
The son was completely abandoned, how could he expect to hear the Prime Minister say these words?
The second wife, Zhao Huimin, did not fall behind others and said softly, "In recent years, my sister has been busy with foreign affairs, and I have taken care of the internal affairs. Although there are some shortcomings, everything is fine at last, and I have not disgraced the prime minister."
Su Shizong was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "In recent years, the imperial court has been troubled internally and externally. It is because the prime minister has been busy with government affairs and neglected you."
After saying that, he turned to look at his eldest son Su Jianye, "Ye'er is already twenty this year, right? Have you passed the merit examination?"
Su Jianye saluted and replied, "Reporting to my father, my son has been busy making a living outside the government these years and has not obtained any meritorious service."
Unexpectedly, Su Shizong was quite satisfied with this answer, "The true identity is not in Qingbei. You should help your mother to share the important responsibilities, whether in business or in business."
Su Jianye's eyes darkened when he heard this, and his disappointment was palpable.
Su Yin frowned. Under this system where officials are more important than heaven, the status of merchants is obviously not high. The prime minister actually supports his son's business, and it seems that he does not want him to enter the official career.
After saying this, Su Shizong turned to look at his second son Su Bingcheng, "Bingcheng is seventeen this year, right?"
"Yes, Father." Su Bingcheng responded politely.
Su Yin knew very well from memory that this second young master was a playboy. He was polite in front of others, but often showed his bestiality behind others.
"Do you have any fame?"
"My son has been staying with his eldest brother for the past two years to learn how to do business, and he won't be able to obtain fame in the future." Su Bingcheng said.
Su Yin sneered in his heart, it was true that he was busy fighting cocks and walking dogs and teasing women from good families.
Su Shizong nodded, "You two are not young anymore, and getting married should be put on the agenda. If there is a good girl, please ask your mother-in-law to be a matchmaker, and it will be time for the Su family to have more people."
Both brothers looked miserable. After several questions and answers, it became clear that their father had no intention of helping them.
As the prime minister's son, he has to make a hasty decision about starting a family in this small Qingbei City?
The second child, Su Chengcheng, gritted his teeth. He had never forgotten his identity. His mother had not arranged any marriage arrangements for them in these years, but she had always thought that their father would take care of their marriage. Even if it was for his father's political marriage, they could do it.
It is better to leap over the dragon gate than to die of old age in Qingbei City.
Although he is a dandy, he has been waiting for the opportunity.
Madam Wang Sumei's expression changed rapidly, and she forced a smile for a while and said, "Does Mr. Prime Minister have anyone he likes? I'm also quite worried about Yeer Chenger's marriage these days."
Su Shizong said naturally, "A lady from a well-known family in Jindu is very knowledgeable. Marrying to Qingbei may be too troublesome and inadvertent. I'll leave it up to you to make the final decision."
"Actually, you can..." In fact, his two sons can follow him to Jindu. Wang Sumei felt miserable, and she almost blurted out these words.
