Several people in the hotel had finally filled their stomachs after eating and drinking, and most of the food went into Ergou and the old man's stomachs.
Su Ruyu just went there to brag, and when he arrived in the capital, his energy level improved by half, while the book boy Su Mo didn't take a few bites because he was embarrassed.
"Xiao Yuyu, now that you've eaten and drank enough, it's time to go see your big house!"
Ergou wiped it with his hands without hesitation, then picked up a few pieces of minced meat on the plate and put it into his mouth. He was satisfied.
"Yes, yes, when you arrive in the capital, you no longer need to stay in a hotel. I will take you to live in my big house!"
Su Ruyu didn't mean to show off when she said this. Of course, she may have had a little bit of this thought, but more importantly, she hoped to make Ergou and the others happy.
The Su Mansion is located on Lin'an Street, the most famous street in the capital. The reason why this street is famous is because all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital live here.
The farther down the street is, the more powerful the owner of the house is in the court.
Therefore, when we reached the end of this street, all kinds of princes and princes gathered together.
Even the first house on this street is the residence of Yiyin Zhaoyang, the fourth-rank official in the capital. The dignified fourth-rank official Yi is outside the capital. It can be said that the master is walking sideways, but in this fourth-rank house, there are as many as dogs.
In the capital where people of the third grade are everywhere, they just barely have the qualifications to live in Lin'an Street.
Don't think that you are qualified to live in Lin'an Street if you reach the grade threshold of the fourth-grade official position. If you don't have real power, you may not be able to enter Lin'an Street even if you are a third-grade official.
Therefore, there is still a saying circulating in the capital: The size of your official hat is not determined by your rank. If you really have the ability, you can live in Lin'an Street!
Therefore, when Ergou and the others walked into Lin'an Street, everyone greeted them.
He was either a steward in the house of the six ministers or a concierge in the palace of a prince. Of course, all of this was for Su Ruyu and had nothing to do with Old Man Ergou and the other two.
Along the way, those who greeted Su Ruyu enthusiastically appeared to be respectful, and they all knew that this was the only son in the Prime Minister's house, and that he was the son of old age when Su Ruyu was almost forty years old.
But looking at the young master of the Su family who has changed from fair and fair to the dark and strong look now, I can't help but smile a little bit from the corners of my eyes.
Although Lin'an is very long, if you walk slowly, you will always reach the depths of this street. The whole picture of the Su Mansion gradually appeared in front of them. However, although the Su Mansion is also grand, it is not as close to the surroundings as it is.
Compared with other houses in the same place, they appear much simpler.
"Er Gou, although my house is not as big as other people's, that's because there are only three people in my family: my father, my mother and me. My father said that this house is just enough to live in. There is no need to make it too big.
"
Probably because he was afraid that Ergou would misunderstand what he said before as bragging, Su Ruyu quickly explained.
"Okay, Xiao Yuyu, I still don't believe you! But, when will you take me to meet your prince friend? From now on, when I go out to travel around the world, it will be more honorable for me to mention it to anyone!"
Compared to the fact that this house is not a house, Ergou wants to meet the prince who loves to go to brothels.
"Don't worry about that. That boy Wushuang must have known about my return. Maybe he is already waiting for me to go to his East Palace Prince's Mansion!"
Su Ruyu patted her chest and carried this matter on her shoulders.
At the same time, in the middle hall of Su Mansion, Su Wang and his wife Lu Baiping were also talking quietly.
"Madam! We have agreed that later, one of us will be a good person and the other a bad person. Don't let the secret be exposed!"
"Okay, okay! Just put your heart into that belly! I've read a lot of picture books and stories, and I know how to act them!"
The couple had just finished whispering when they saw Su Ruyu and the others walking in from the gate. So Su Wang quickly straightened his collar and sat upright on the main seat.
You must always maintain the dignity of a father in front of your children, right?
"The child pays homage to his father and mother."
When Su Ruyu walked in, she bowed in front of the two elders in a very polite manner. She never dared to mess with this.
"Jiang Ergou, I have met my uncle and aunt."
Even Ergou, who had always been jumping happily, was rare and calm down.
As for the old man, his age didn't matter. After the two parties nodded, Su Wang invited him to sit down.
But what no one noticed was that the moment the old man entered the room, there was another person standing behind Su Wang. Except for the old man and Su Wang, no one else reacted at all.
They just thought that this person had been standing here from the beginning. Even Lu Baiping, who had been staying with Su Wang, thought so and did not have the slightest suspicion.
"Hmph! You little bastard! How dare you come back? In front of everyone in the capital, you have completely embarrassed your father and me."
Su Wang was very soft-spoken to the old man, but when he talked to Su Ruyu, his voice suddenly expanded many times, and it seemed that he was about to deafen Su Ruyu.
Su Ruyu said that she looked gentle and gentle, but in fact she had some restless thoughts in her heart, and she only became a little frightened when facing her father.
"Dad, didn't I come back in autumn as you ordered?"
I saw Su Ruyu walking to his father with a flattering face and speaking in a cautious tone.
"Do I want you to come back in the autumn? I want you to come back in the autumn exam. There are still two full months until the autumn exam. I don't know how much trouble you will cause me during this period.
!Not at all reassuring.”
The two dogs were watching with great interest, but Su Ruyu had no choice when facing his father, so he had to turn his attention to his mother.
In fact, it was not only Su Ruyu who winked at Lu Baiping, but also Su Wang.
The look in his eyes seemed to say: Didn't I agree that you would be the one to show off, so why haven't you opened your mouth yet?
Lu Baiping looked at the enemy father and son and felt it was a bit funny, but looking at the very embarrassed father and son, she still spoke.
"Husband, look at this child. After going out for a while, he not only looks darker, but also loses a lot of weight. He has been punished."
Seeing her mother begging for mercy, Su Ruyu quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, while Su Wang also stretched out his hand to stroke his beard.
"That's it! That's it! Dad, you don't know, if it weren't for Ergou and this old... senior, I almost wouldn't be able to come back."
When the words came to her lips, Su Ruyu realized that if she called him old Wang Xuanlang now, he would have to teach him a lesson because of his father's character.
"Hmph... I'll put your matters aside for now. Senior, thank you for taking care of my unlucky kid along the way. I caused you trouble, so I didn't ask for advice!"
Su Wang first said something to Su Ruyu, and then turned his head to the old man. Su Ruyu saw that her father finally let her go, so she let out a sigh of relief.
"Hahaha, it's enough for that boy Su Ruyu to call me "senior", but Su Xiang, you can't bear to call me "senior". The old man Wang Xuanlang is just a wanderer!"
"Senior Wang, you're too polite. I practiced martial arts for a few days when I was young. Although I didn't have much success, I also know that martial arts is the same as knowledge. Those who are masters come first. Since Mr. Wang has been ahead of me in martial arts,
In front of me, what's wrong with calling me "senior"? If we come to discuss knowledge another day, then Senior Wang will call me "senior" in turn."
"Hahaha, this scholar is different! Although the old man knows this truth, it would be difficult for me to say it clearly!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Come, prepare a banquet. I want to entertain these two distinguished guests."
"yes."
A servant standing at the door answered, and then went down to make arrangements.
Therefore, everyone in the living room had to chat for a while. Su Xiang talked about insignificant interesting things in the temple, and Er Gou talked about their experiences in the world. Unknowingly, this tea capital
Already drank two bottles.
When the arrangements for the dinner were ready and everyone was seated, Ergou and Su Ruyu, who had already been unable to sit still while drinking tea and chatting, were now even more restless in their positions.
"Dad, I promised that when I arrive in the capital, I will take Ergou to see the prosperity of Xijing City. Do you think..."
Finally, Su Ruyu couldn't hold it back for a long time. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said it to her father.
"go Go!"
Su Wang had already seen the two restless boys and was waiting for them to speak. When Su Ruyu spoke, he quickly told them to get out!
"Old man, are you going or not?"
Seeing her father's words, Su Ruyu pulled Jiang Ergou and wanted to run away. But at this time, Ergou still had some conscience and shouted in the direction of the old man.
Of course the old man knew where they were going in secret, and his eyes were filled with longing, but in order to maintain the image of his seniors, he reluctantly refused them.
Seeing the helpless and sad eyes of the old man, Ergou ran out with Su Ruyu without hesitation, leaving the old man looking helplessly at the door.
"Hehehe, Senior Wang, the juniors have their own ways of playing, don't worry about them, let's drink ours!"
Maybe the old man Wang Xuanlang was in a bad mood at the moment, so he lost interest in the wine in front of him. After having a few drinks with Su Wang, he went back to the room prepared for him...
At night, in the study of Prime Minister Su Wang, the man dressed in black who suddenly appeared behind him during the day appeared here, standing next to Su Wang.
"Why did you suddenly appear behind me in the living room today."
Su Wang was holding a book in his hand. The cover was only half rolled up so that the title of the book could be seen. It was "On the Governance of the Country" written by Wei Xuan, the most famous Prime Minister of the previous dynasty.
asked in a voice.
"That old man just now, I can't see what he's wearing."
The man in black spoke concisely and to the point.
"Oh! If you can't even see through it, then you are a first-class master!"
"pretty close!"
Regarding this, the man in black was not sure, so he hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"hehe!"
Su Wang put down the book "On State Administration" in his hand and looked at the man in black, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
"I said, can't you change this bad habit of yours? If you say a few more words, you will die! Every time I talk to you, I feel it is more difficult than playing a game with the emperor!"
"got used to."
The man in black smiled shyly when he heard what Su Xiang said, but he didn't seem to want to change the way he spoke.
"Hey, you! If I had gotten rid of this bad habit earlier, I wouldn't have been unable to find a wife now. I would have only accepted Su Mo as my apprentice!"
Although the man in black didn't react on the surface to marrying a wife, he felt a little regretful in his heart. But he couldn't embarrass himself in front of Su Wang. This was more difficult than losing his life. He had no choice but to do it.
I had to bite the bullet and explain it.
"Over the years, I've gotten used to being alone, and now that Su Mo is with me, I don't feel like it's anything."
The man in black tried his best to defend himself.
"Just blow it!"
Su Wang obviously didn't believe what the man in black said.
This time, the man in black didn't say anything to refute. The main reason was that he and Su Wang had lived inseparable for decades, and neither of them knew each other well. If he continued to say more, he would be laughed at by this old guy for a while.
"Isn't there a team of six-door people who came back with Ruyu and the others this time? Go and inquire about them, maybe there will be some unexpected surprises!"
The man in black probably felt that it was too humiliating to stay here for too long. After hearing Su Wang's instructions, he hurriedly left without even saying hello.
Su Wang picked up the "Governance of the Country" again and started reading it, but not long after, he covered his stomach and started laughing. It seemed that he remembered something funny.
"This old bachelor is obviously stupid and doesn't know how to coax, yet he's used to being alone! Do you really think I don't know about you quietly going back to Menglou? Hahaha..."
