For three days, Su Ren didn't go there and didn't do anything. Since Su Ren returned home, the atmosphere at home has become comfortable and comfortable. Except for the things in the bedroom that made the servants snicker horribly, everything else
It was like a calm lake without any ripples. He lay under the grape trellis in his yard all day, sometimes playing with the children returning from school, and sometimes looking back at the two people sitting under the eaves doing embroidery.
A living wife. No one comes to visit, and no one invites her to a banquet. She drinks tea and chats with her real brother Leng Jun. She eats when she is hungry and drinks when she is thirsty. Otherwise, she goes to the vegetable garden behind the house to tend to the newly planted vegetables.
The day passed happily like this.
Holding his old waist, he lay down on the recliner. Looking at Liu Gao's suppressed smile, Su Ren chuckled: "I'm old! I think back then, we were famous in Chang'an City..."
Before he finished speaking, Dong Zhongshu's coughing sound reached Su Ren's ears. With Liu Gao's help, Su Ren stood up with difficulty and saluted Dong Zhongshu. Dong Zhongshu had been ill last year, and according to Chunyu
It was said that the disease was very serious. Although it had improved under the rejuvenation of the medical sage, the shortness of breath had never improved. Chun Yuyi and Su Ren had discussed Dong Zhongshu's condition and knew that it was a heart problem, most likely arteriosclerosis.
One kind, but there is no good way at the moment, so we can only keep it.
"Don't attack suddenly!" Dong Zhongshu suppressed his cough and glared at Su Ren: "I know your thoughts, but you can't do this!"
Su Ren quickly lowered his head: "I know!"
Wen Dang laughed loudly and pulled Dong Zhongshu: "We are about to bury our heads in the dust. Let them sort out their children's affairs themselves. Now Ziheng has no official or nobility. After so many years, he can finally have a good rest. Qian'er and Yue'er
The two children are also smart children. Nothing will happen to them. Let's go and walk. I heard that the old monster has developed some medicinal tea. I sent someone to invite it yesterday. If I have nothing to do today, I will go and taste it. "
While talking and laughing, Wen Dang pulled Dong Zhongshu out and went out with the help of several servants. Su Ren let out a long breath and slowly lay down again. Leng Yue put the teapot and tea bowl next to Su Ren with a blushing face.
He stood on the stone table and left quickly. However, he didn't want to be pulled by Su Ren's sleeve. Unable to stand still, he fell into Su Ren's arms. Leng Yue was so frightened that he almost kicked over the teapot on the table.
Several children thought something was going on and popped their heads out of the door one by one. Dong Qian slapped each of them on the head and slapped them back. Leng Yue struggled for a long time and finally escaped from Su Ren's clutches, but she was also in a state of embarrassment.
Amid Su Ren's laughter, he hurried back to change clothes.
Dong Qian glared at Su Ren: "You only know how to bully sister Yue'er. Last night I could hear the earth-shattering sound in Lu Yi's room. I am about to become a grandfather. You are still so unruly. Mei Yatou and Dang Li Ke
They’re all in the house.”
Su Ren was stunned: "What does it mean to be a grandfather soon? Could it be that Su Jian and Su Kang are doing something wrong?"
Dong Qian said quickly: "No, no, you should know what kind of temperament Jian'er is. Kang'er is still young, but he is not young anymore. Look at Cao Xiang, who is younger than Jian'er. He has already married a wife and will be a father years ago.
Got it!"
Su Ren was relieved: "This is a family. In our family, men are nineteen and women are not allowed to get married before they are eighteen. This is a rule set by me as the head of the family. No matter which generation we are in the future, we must abide by it! The matter of Jian'er and Mei Yatou,
I told Leng Jun that he had no objection. As long as the two children are what he likes and they get married when they are old enough, Kang'er said that although I mentioned it to His Majesty back then, he didn't take any further action. He just said that if Dang Li doesn't like it in the future,
Kang'er, it doesn't matter, both of them are still young, it's not too late to wait."
Although Dong Qian is well-educated and a conscientious husband, Su Ren must be the husband and the head of the family. The head of the family cannot disobey the decision, so he said nothing more: "Jian'er will be nineteen next year, so why not this year?"
How about just settling things down?"
Su Ren thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go discuss it with Leng Jun right now."
Su Ren knew that he was getting tired of sitting at home for three days, so they were looking for things for him to do. This was Dong Qian's first wave, and there was no difference in discussing the children's marriage with Leng Jun. What would happen next?
No one would care about a woman, leaving this matter entirely to herself. In their view, it would be difficult for Su Ren to transform from a powerful Yong'an hussar general to a civilian overnight. Just like
Like those retired officials in later generations, they need to find some personal hobbies to fill the void. But they don't know that Su Ren is only in his early forties now, and is still far away from retirement. What's more, Su Ren has always been a lazy man, eager to be relaxed and comfortable. Instead of being uncomfortable, he is actually
Extremely comfortable.
After it got dark, Su Ren came back from Leng Jun's house drunk, talking nonsense as he walked, and seemed very happy with the drink. Dong Qian was very skillful, and she pulled Su Ren off Liu Gao's shoulder with one hand.
She brought him into the room, gave him some water, took off his clothes, washed his feet, and arranged for him to lie down. Seeing Su Ren sleeping soundly, Dong Qian shed tears unconsciously.
Su Ren woke up the next day with a splitting headache. It took a lot of effort to get up from the bed. With the help of Dong Qian, he got dressed while cursing Leng Jun to get himself drunk and prepared to go there today.
They found the place and didn't stop until Su Jian came in to greet his father. Because Su Ren got up late, he was the only one left during the meal.
Su Jian stood in front of his father in an orderly manner. Su Ren pointed to the seat next to him, poured the contents of the bowl into his mouth, and ordered the servants to clear the table. Looking at his son, who was already as tall as himself, Su Ren touched it
The son's head said seriously: "I will be nineteen next year, and it is also the age to get married. Although I told your uncle Leng that I hope you and Mei Yatou can get married, my father still wants to talk to you today."
Su Jian was a little confused and looked at his father. Su Ren said again: "Don't look at me like that. If you really don't want to, I'll go talk to your Uncle Leng again."
"But...!" Su Jian stopped talking before finishing his sentence.
"But what? There are no outsiders here, just you and me, father and son, just tell us your true thoughts!"
"Grandpa once taught the children that marriage is a matter of parents' order and the matchmaker's words. Since it is the father's arrangement, the child..."
"Oh? It seems that you really have someone you like? Tell me, whose girl is it? Even if it is a princess in the palace, I can find a way for you!"
Su Jian quickly shook his head: "No, that's not what I meant."
"Oh, your grandpa's teachings are absolutely correct in learning, but some principles still need to be revised!" Su Ren took a sip of water: "For example, your marriage, if you don't like Mei Yatou, even if you get married according to the orders of your parents,
Life will not be harmonious. If life is not harmonious, there will be no peace at home. If the house is not peaceful, you will not be able to do well in your studies. Of course, what my father said may be one-sided, but things may not happen that way."
"Then what if..." Seeing his father's sincerity, Su Jian became a little bolder: "If in the future my sister does not respect her parents' orders and falls in love with a commoner, could it be..."
"Hahaha..." Su Ren laughed: "Is my father not a commoner now? You can tell your sisters now, just say that your father has said it. In the future, my father will never interfere with their marriage, even if
It doesn't matter whether they are nobles of the palace or peddlers and pawns, as long as they are willing, but they have to remember that this is their own choice, and they will bear the consequences if they make the wrong choice!"
Su Jian nodded quickly.
Su Ren solemnly asked Su Jian again: "As a father, I ask you again, are you satisfied with your marriage to Mei Yatou?"
Su Jian didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he raised his chest and raised his head, and nodded seriously: "My child is satisfied! Father, please make the decision!"
"Hahaha..." Su Ren finally let go of his hanging heart. Although he said it so arrogantly, he must have agreed with Leng Jun on this matter at the beginning. If Su Jian didn't want to, he would really be embarrassed to go with him.
If Leng Jun opens his mouth, he might even be beaten by Leng Jun.
When Su Jian went out happily, several women in the back room jumped out with a bang. Lu Yi lay down in front of Su Ren with tears in his eyes and kowtowed. Although Su Jian was Su Ren's first child,
Not serious. In terms of status, he is far inferior to Su Kang. For so many years, he has been worried that Su Jian will not be able to gain a foothold in the Su family. He is also cautious in the back house, fearing that his son will suffer a disaster because of him. However, fortunately,
Both Su Kang and the other children regard Su Jian as their eldest brother, which makes Lu Yi feel relieved.
She could clearly hear today's words from behind, especially Su Ren's words that if Su Jian likes her, even if she is a princess, she can get Su Jian back, which made Lu Yi's years of emotions immediately vent. Su Ren quickly pulled Lu Yi up
, looked at his three women: "Since Jian'er has no objection, let's make arrangements. The marriage of Su's eldest son will surely cause a sensation in Chang'an City!"
After receiving the instructions from the family master, the servants immediately took action. From that day on, although the Su family lived in the mountains, people and gifts came from all over the place. Pearls from the East China Sea, jade from Yumen, corals from the south, furs from the north,
All the items you can think of will appear in the Su family. Of course, the regulations are much different than those in the palace.
Wen Dang did his part and still acted as a matchmaker. He sat in the hall all day long and got drunk with Dong Zhongshu, Zhai Qingdi, Chun Yuyi, and Han Anguo. He claimed to be discussing the wedding, but Liu Gao thought that these people were
I came here to have a drink. The bride, Leng Mei, has already been considered a member of the Su family. She has been in the Su family since she was a child. However, she was locked in the room by her mother at this time, which was really unbearable. Fortunately, Su Kang led a few boys to climb in through the window.
Going in and out, it’s not too lonely.
Under the dual influence of Dong Zhongshu's literary reputation and Su Ren's connections, it seemed that the entire Han Dynasty was busy with Su Jian and Leng Mei's wedding. When everyone was immersed in joy, only one person stared blankly at the memorial in his hand.
