It is not easy for women to participate in men's affairs. When Su Ren was being welcomed by the teachers and students of the academy, Lu Yi and her minions had quietly returned home. Dong Qian and Leng Yue learned about the news of Su Ren's return.
People were stunned for a long time. If Lu Yi hadn't urged them, they would have stood in the courtyard like the stone statue and continued to be in a daze. Su Kang, Liu Ju, Li Gan, Dang Li, Su Hu, Leng Mei, and Su Huier who were playing nearby also followed.
His mother was happy together. Su Kang suggested that everyone go to the academy to pick up his father, which was approved by almost everyone.
Several children yelled and ran out the door, but Su Jian looked hesitant. Hui'er was a girl and was more attentive. Seeing that her second brother didn't follow, she stopped everyone and dragged her arm: "Second brother,
Why are you unhappy?"
Su Kang was in Liu Zhi, and Li Gan glanced at Li Gan's face: "You two are very happy to hear that my father is back?"
Li Gan was older, and when he was reminded like this, he immediately reacted. His happy expression disappeared in an instant, and he changed into a bitter face. Su Kang didn't understand the old etiquette and asked, "What's the matter? Of course I'm happy that my father is back. Is it possible that my second brother is back?"
Don’t want to see father?”
Leng Mei chuckled: "I know why the second brother is unhappy."
"Why?"
Leng Mei said mysteriously: "When uncle comes back, Brother Huo will naturally come back. If Brother Huo can go to uncle's place, you should know what's going on. With uncle's wisdom, Brother Huo must have said everything. Several of them
Of course you can’t hide what you did, so just wait for your father to deal with them!”
Liu Zheng was startled, looked left and right, and rolled his eyes: "Ahem! In this case, I will go back to the palace today. I won't disturb the reunion of my brothers and sisters. I'll say goodbye!"
"Wait for me!" Li Gan quickly followed, and the two of them summoned their guards like flying, and ran around Louguan Academy.
Leng Mei looked at Su Kang, who was looking constipated: "Second brother, you are the only one who has to bear the rest! Who made you rush the most fiercely at the beginning? One of them is the prince and the other is a major general. Uncle can't control it. You can't
Same!"
On the shoulders of Su Kang, the host of Su Kang: "Second brother, don't worry, as a brother I will take care of you. If father blames you, just say it was our brother who did it!"
"And me!" Dangli is a die-hard fan of Su Kang, so naturally he will not lag behind at this time: "In addition, I will go back and tell the father about this matter. The prince brother has not taken responsibility, and the father will definitely punish him severely!"
Su Hu whistled: "Look at you, uncle has scared you like this before he even entered the door. Maybe uncle has forgotten about this matter. Don't worry, now that the matter is done, it doesn't matter what the result is, let alone
Uncle won’t beat you to death!”
Su Kang raised his fist and roared at Su Hu: "If you hadn't accidentally alerted the uncle in charge, how could you have been discovered? If you couldn't have been discovered, these things wouldn't have happened. It's all your fault!"
Su Hu smiled and said: "If it weren't for me, Your Majesty would have ordered the whole world to search. How big a crime is it to steal the imperial edict?"
Several children were still arguing, but Su Ren had already appeared on the road ahead. Hawking was the quickest and shouted from a distance. This was undoubtedly the best announcement in his life. Several children panicked and turned around and ran away, as if
It looked like he saw some kind of monster. Su Ren was confused and looked at his whole body up and down, unable to find anything wrong.
Huo Qubing scratched his head: "What's wrong with these boys? They always shout to find the sir, but why do they all run away when they come back?"
Han Qing smiled and said nothing. When he arrived at the door of Su's house, he broke up with Su Ren and said goodbye. It's time to go, it's time to go. Su Ren straightened his clothes and shouted at the door: "You two
Woman, your husband is back!"
Their hair was half combed and makeup was applied. Even Leng Yue hurried out of the room with only one shoe on. The moment she saw Su Ren, she could no longer hold back her tears. The painting she had just finished
Her makeup instantly turned into a painted face. Although Dong Qian was feeling better, she still had tears in her eyes. Su Ren held one arm in each other's arms and comforted them for a long time before calming down the emotions of the two women. The family happily entered the house.
When the head of the family comes back, there are naturally some rules. Both the mistress and the servants of the family need to come to see the ceremony. But the Su family is different from other families. Such virtual gifts are much simpler. The head of the family will be happy when he returns home, and giving out some rewards will make people happy. etc.
While the two girls were dressing up again, Su Ren sat alone in the lobby drinking tea, with only Lu Yi as his company.
"Where are the children?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Jian came in first and bowed to his father and mother in a proper manner. Little Dangli followed behind him, and Luyi was so happy that he hugged Dangli over. The two chatted happily.
Su Jian was the eldest son, so naturally he couldn't behave like Dangli. He stood next to Su Ren and kept looking at Su Ren's face with his eyes. Su Ren took a sip of tea and said, "Where are the others? Why are there only two of you?"
Su Jian knelt down in front of Su Ren with a bang: "Father, please calm down. All wrong things are the child's idea alone and have nothing to do with the second brother. If the father wants to punish, punish the child, and don't involve the second brother."
Su Ren smiled. Looking at Su Jian who looked like a young adult, Su Ren asked: "Then tell me what wrong things you have done?"
Su Jian frowned: "In July last year, my son hit Zigui's grandson, and in October he smashed up two shops in Dongshi. At the beginning of this year, I went to Yanlailou's Dengshan at Shangyuan Festival, and in February I went to Shangdafu again.
On the way home, the horses were frightened. In March, he stole Mrs. Guo's dog and ate it. In May, he encouraged his brother Qubing to steal General Li's imperial edict. In June, he destroyed all the lotuses in the palace and destroyed his majesty's.
The goldfish was caught and roasted just yesterday..."
"What else did you do yesterday?"
"I stole a jade pendant from the Queen's Palace yesterday and pawned it!"
"Pfft..." Su Ren, who was drinking tea, spat it out. He could basically blame the children for the things mentioned above, but stealing the queen's jade pendant and pawning it off was enough to rob the family and exterminate the entire clan. Lu Yi
She was also shocked, and she felt like she didn't recognize the son in front of her. Su Ren had never told her these things before, so she was quite shocked when she heard about it.
"You! You..." Lu Yi didn't say anything for a long time.
Dang Li looked at Lu Yi and then at Su Jian, who was kneeling on the ground: "Grandpa, these things are all..."
"Shut up!" Su Jian didn't wait for Dang Li to finish speaking and glared at Dang Li. Dang Li was so frightened that he burst into tears. Lu Yi quickly coaxed him.
Su Ren cleaned up the tea on his chest, took a breath, and said after a long time: "Let's not talk about other things. Let's talk about you stealing the Queen's jade pendant. What did you do with the money you pawned?"
Su Jian said: "Second brother said that the beggars outside the city did not have cotton-padded clothes for the winter, so we spent all the money to buy cotton-padded clothes and sent them outside the city."
"Oh, so you did a good thing?"
"My child has made a mistake, please punish me!"
Su Ren smiled slightly: "Go and call them all in. I have something to say as a father."
Su Jian did not get up: "Father, these things are done by children and have nothing to do with other younger brothers and sisters."
Su Ren saw a figure shaking outside the door and nodded: "In that case, I'll punish you with two lashes for every thing I say and five lashes for every thing I don't say. How do you feel about that?"
Su Jian nodded: "My child has no objection."
"That's good. You named nine in total, which are eighteen whips. In addition, I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion is missing a maid, and the flowers in the garden of the General's house disappeared overnight. There is also Hu Yushi's son.
A mouth full of teeth was missing, a butcher in Caijiaxiang lost more than ten kilograms of pork, a dozen rats were thrown into Guoji Silk Shop, a hole was punched in the wall of the imperial garden, and the imperial chef was beaten.
besides……"
Su Jian was also frightened, and was shaking a little while kneeling on the ground. He knew that his younger brother was naughty and often did some outrageous things. He thought that he would let his father vent his anger by telling him a few things, but he didn't expect that his father would actually know something.
Everything is clear, and I can remember it so clearly. However, since the big words have been spoken, I naturally have to shoulder the responsibility for my younger brother. He gritted his teeth and said, "The things my father said were all done by the child, and the child is willing to be punished!"
Su Ren nodded: "After some rough considerations, there are about one hundred and twenty-seven things you haven't mentioned yet. You can calculate how many whips you need. After the whipping, you will probably be dead!"
Lu Yi's legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground. Suddenly he noticed that there was a playful look in Su Ren's eyes, and he finally let go of his heart that was already in his throat.
Su Jian knelt on the ground and said nothing, as if he was ready to die. Su Kang and the others could hear clearly outside the door. When Su Ren said he wanted to beat Su Jian to death, the boys could no longer remain calm.
Although they knew that their father would never really beat their eldest brother to death, it felt very uncomfortable to have his eldest brother bear all this for him alone.
Led by Su Kang, Su Hu, Li Gan and Liu Ju all ran in and knelt down next to Su Jianjian. Even Huo Qubing came from nowhere and knelt down together. Leng Mei, Su Huier and Dang Li obediently.
They stood in a row, and after hearing this, Su Ren felt sad.
Su Ren glanced at Leng Mei, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Did Xiao Meizi ask uncle to beat them to death?"
Leng Mei said: "Although my uncle loves us, we must be punished if we do something wrong. I have nothing to say, but so many of our brothers and sisters are involved in these things. How can I bear it when my eldest brother bears the responsibility alone?"
, so I can’t just watch my eldest brother being beaten to death by my uncle.”
"Hahaha..." Su Ren laughed.
A large group of children were being scolded by Su Ren in the main room. Knowing that these children were naughty and the head of the family, Su Ren, was not at home, they almost became a scourge in Chang'an City. Everyone who knew about it came over to watch, wanting to see what Su Ren would do with these children.
The Twelfth Mother was about to rush in and take her daughter away, but was held back by the Thirteenth Mother and Dong Qian, but the Twelfth Mother kept staring at Su Ren with her angry eyes.
Su Ren laughed for a long time and sighed: "You are putting me in trouble as a father and uncle! You are all grown up. Although it is a child's nature to act recklessly, some things you did went too far. You stole the imperial edict.
The two things of stealing the jade pendant are unforgivable. From tomorrow on, everyone must reflect in their own rooms. No one can write a letter of repentance of no less than 5,000 words. Depending on the degree of repentance, I will punish you! Su Kang has 10,000 words.
!”
"However, I am very pleased with your performance today. Although I am away from home more time, it is to discipline you. The harmony between your brothers and sisters is my greatest gratification. Remember, our family is not one of those smoky places in Chang'an City.
Things that bring trouble to Xiao Qiang must never happen. This is a family motto, and anyone who violates it will be kicked out of the house and not allowed to enter the ancestral temple! Do you understand?"
Whether it was the adults outside the door or the children in the room, they all knelt down and saluted: "Follow the order of the master of the family!" (To be continued)
