Su Junyao came over and said to Sun Changle, "Let's go. I have something to tell you."
"Yan Gui was found by my father for Wei Yang. My elder sister didn't send Wei Yang away for Xu Er. My elder sister didn't want us siblings to be distracted, so I want to make this clear." Su Junyao looked at the gate of the Su Mansion that was just a stone's throw away and said calmly, "But I did use the Yan family, I don't deny that."
Su Changle said hurriedly: "I know, I don't blame Big Sister, I just think Xiaojiu is still young."
"Yan Gui agreed to wait until Xiaojiu reaches the age of marriage before consummating the marriage, and to have another child two years later."
Although Su Changle was unwilling in her heart, she could not refute her elder sister.
What does it matter if the Su family has now restored their status and title? The dead cannot be brought back to life. They have lost too much, so they cherish these rare survivors even more.
"Xu'er asked you and Chen'er whether to build a new residence or..."
Before Su Junyao finished speaking, Su Muchen beside him interrupted and said, "My nephew has discussed it with my uncle. We will build the mansion on the old site of the Su family."
"But." Su Junyao pondered for a moment. After all, more than a hundred people had died in this yard. It might not be auspicious to live there.
Su Changle whispered, "There is no such thing as auspicious or unlucky. This is the Su family's house. I think the spirits of my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law will protect the descendants of the Su family."
Su Junyao was relieved: "That's fine, but two mansions in this area are a bit small, right?"
Su Changle looked at the courtyard of the Su Mansion and said, "Something happened to the Su family, and the people around them all abandoned their houses and moved away. Mu Chen and I have discussed buying this place. We will build two mansions in the east and west, with gates in each, and leave a gate in the courtyard connecting them."
Su Junyao nodded and prepared to get on the Queen Mother's carriage, but stopped after thinking for a moment: "Alright, I'll talk to Wei Yang later and ask Yan Gui to build the General's Mansion here as well, so that Xiao Jiu can take care of it in the future."
Su Changle was somewhat reluctant and said hesitantly, "I wonder if Yan Gui would be willing."
"Haha." Su Junyao laughed and stepped onto the phoenix carriage: "If Xiaojiu agrees, Yan Gui will not disagree. Don't have any ideas about Yan Gui, he treats Xiaojiu no worse than you do."
Su Changle opened her mouth to refute, but swallowed it back after thinking about it. There must be a reason for her elder sister to do this. Forget it, just listen to her. She will never harm Xiaojiu.
"Yan Gui is a man of integrity. You should spend more time with him."
Watching her elder sister's empress dowager's carriage going away, Su Changle seemed to be lost in thought.
"Uncle, my aunt is getting married in the fall, and we haven't prepared the dowry yet." Su Muchen's words brought Su Changle back to reality.
He gnashed his teeth and wanted to curse in his heart. This Yan Gui must have a grudge against him. The Su family was in a state of disrepair and needed money for new construction. He got married at this time.
"Well, let's build the mansion first. We can't let Xiaojiu get married in an inn." Su Changle rolled his eyes and said, "Mu Chen, send a few people to the Yan family to move your aunt's things back. It's not appropriate for her to live in the Yan family before she gets married."
Everyone in the Su family temporarily lived in Xishiyuan, the Su family's other courtyard in Beijing. Su Changle and Su Muchen did not have to go to court, and although the other courtyard was a little far away, it had everything, except for a few servants.
Seeing Wei Yang getting ready to get on the carriage, Su Changle hurriedly reminded her, "Xiao Jiu, let's go back to Xishiyuan to live."
Xishiyuan is the largest courtyard of the Su family in Beijing. It is named after the idea of picking flowers in the morning and picking them up in the evening. The courtyard is lush with flowers and trees, and has exquisite pavilions and towers. It is a great scenic spot in Beijing.
