In Su Yunchu's six-year-old memory, the Yuan family and the Song family were not easy to get along with. The Yuan family was the old lady's niece, and they belonged to the same family. Besides, at that time, the old lady didn't know who the Song family was. Because the Song family fell in love with Su Kun at first sight when he was parading in the south of the Yangtze River back then, and even went back to Beijing with Su Kun regardless of his parents' objections. Unable to bear the loneliness of the youngest daughter, they held each other secretly.
Therefore, the old lady did not know that the Song family was the daughter of Song Yan, one of the generals of the Northern Expedition, nor did she know that she was the younger sister of Song Yu, the head of a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, she couldn't look down on the Song family, and it was just like this, there would not be much friendship between the Yuan family and the Song family at that time.
It wasn't until later that the Song family passed away and the people of the Song family came to pick up Su Yunchu. After all, Song Yan had retired and had no descendants to succeed him, so he had no influence. After all, it is in the south of the Yangtze River, not in the capital.
Therefore, even though he knew that Su Yunchu's maternal ancestral family was also a famous family, he still treated her as before.
Just like now, when Su Yunchu called Mrs. Yuan to the Yuan family, the old lady became furious, "What's your name, Mrs. Zhiyuan Hou, the mistress of the family, can't afford you to call me mother?"
"Grandmother was joking. Yunchu's mother has passed away, and Yunchu's mother is also Zhiyuanhou's aunt. Yunchu can only call madam madam, not mother. Thinking about it, madam will not want Yunchu to call every day. Your mother is remembering her biological mother, so it is even more disrespectful to Madam." Su Yunchu said lightly, if she really called Yuan Shi mother, she would really not be able to call her.
After hearing this, Yuanshi also smiled at the old lady, "Mother, don't be angry, I think it's because Yunchu misses his biological mother, so it's fine, as long as Yunchu knows that his daughter-in-law is the head of the Hou's house, it's all right, let me say a word." Mother or wife, daughter-in-law will naturally not care."
Yuanshi's words seem to be general knowledge and unwilling to care about the younger generation, but there are also some hints and warnings - even if you don't call me mother, I am still the mistress of Zhiyuanhou, not your dead one. Dear mother.
Seeing this situation, Su Yiran hurriedly stroked the old lady's chest to give her comfort, and said, "Grandmother, don't be angry, the third sister is a sensible person, so naturally she didn't do it on purpose."
The old lady snorted coldly and said nothing more.
The people sitting in the hall just watched the farce and didn't say much.
It's just that Su Yiran seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and smiled at Su Yunchu, "It's fine for the third sister to be in the mansion, but she still needs to call her mother when she goes out in the future, otherwise, outsiders will see it and think it's our Zhiyuan Hou's family who are at odds." , did not gain or lose my father's face."
The considerateness in the voice is very gentle, and people just don't want to refuse after hearing it.
But Su Yunchu didn't make a sound. She was still standing in the middle of the room, and the old lady didn't ask her to sit aside.
After hearing Su Yiran's words, the breath in the old lady's chest finally eased, and the previous stern expression disappeared, "It's still more sensible, if our daughters in the Hou's mansion are as sensible as you, and friendly with sisters, He Chou's family is not prosperous, even if our Marquis Mansion has no men, it can continue to prosper for a long time."
As he spoke, he still did not forget to take a look at Su Yunchu, "Did you hear that, learn a little more from your big sister. In the past seven years in Jiangnan, it is said that there are row upon row of scholarly families in Jiangnan who respect etiquette, but you haven't learned much."
Regarding the old lady's remarks, Su Yunchu didn't say much, right and wrong, that's all.
The Zhiyuanhou Mansion already existed when the new country was established. At that time, the Zhiyuanhou Mansion had the grace to save the emperor Taizu. Therefore, after the founding of the country, he was named a Marquis in gratitude for the friendship of Zhiyuanhou, but no matter whether it is Zhiyuanhou or another The Marquis of Nanyang has no real power in Daxin, only the wealthy Marquis Mansion.
Daxin has gone through several generations of development, and it is not easy for the Marquis of Zhiyuan to survive until today. If he still wants the family to continue to prosper, it may not be an easy task.
For all of this, Su Yunchu is very optimistic. The Zhiyuanhou Mansion has developed to the present, and there is really no need for it to exist, and she will not become the kind of mission to maintain the family so that it can continue to exist.
The rise and fall of the Zhiyuanhou's Mansion has its own laws. If one day, it disappears, she will just become a commoner. Without the title of the daughter of the Zhiyuanhou's Mansion, Su Yunchu is still Su Yunchu. What kind of person Hou becomes if he exists or not.
Seeing that she was so calm, the old lady didn't want to say anything more to her, so she just asked her to sit aside.
At this time, having seen enough of what happened before, Su Yiyan looked at Su Yunchu who was sitting opposite, and then said, "I remember that two months ago, my father sent a letter to Jiangnan, asking my third sister to return to Beijing." To celebrate grandma's birthday, it stands to reason that the third sister should have returned to Beijing ten days ago at the latest, why did she wait until today to return to the capital?"
Bringing up the old story again, when this matter was mentioned, the old lady had just calmed down, and then became more angry. She only came home the day before her grandmother's birthday. This is not disrespectful to her grandmother.
For Su Yunchu, the old lady really didn't have a good face.
After hearing this, Su Yiran looked at the old lady's expression, and was busy giving the old lady the chest, but still said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the third sister is delayed by something on the way, otherwise, since the second sister said, Generally speaking, I will definitely not come back so late."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Yunchu, with a hint of worry in his tone, "Third sister went back to Beijing smoothly, did you encounter anything?"
When talking about this matter, Su Yunchu silently looked at the expressions of everyone in the room. Su Yiran was always the same as when he saw her before, and got along with her with a smile on his face. Although Yuan Shi didn't like her very much, he didn't show anything after all. After so many years, Yuanshi is no longer the girlish mother who was jealous at any time.
Mrs. Sun only saw her for the first time when she was at the gate of the mansion, and wanted to refute her face. It seemed that all the expressions were shown on her face, but she didn't have much scheming, but she was just jealous in the mansion. Only women.
Liu's expression was flat, and he was more likely to hide, but when he talked about this matter, he didn't have any other suspicious expressions. Besides, this was a topic brought up by Su Yiyan. Su Yiyan was obviously not as good as her mother, Liu Shi, so she couldn't see who was responsible for her death that day.
The expression on Su Yunchu's face remained unchanged, and he still said calmly, "No major incident happened. The road was indeed a bit uneven, but now that it has passed, there is no need to say it, so as not to worry grandma."
But when she heard her say that, it was up to her not to say it or not to say it, and she didn't say it in the middle of what she said. Isn't this a tantalizing thing
But Su Yunchu was actually just observing everyone's expressions.
The one who sent people to assassinate Su Yunchu that day was arranged by Liu's brother, that is, Su Yiyan's uncle. As long as Liu couldn't let Su Yunchu return to the capital, he didn't know why her brother didn't let Su Yunchu return to the capital.
Later, when she heard that the plan had failed, Su Yiyan lost her temper.
But she didn't quite understand the whole thing, and Su Yiyan didn't even know about it at all. Therefore, even if Mrs. Liu heard about this matter, she didn't show anything on her face except that her hands tightened a little. What a strange look.
But this action was naturally seen by Su Yunchu, she just smiled lightly, "It's nothing, just met some thieves on the road and wanted to rob the house, it's not a big problem now."
But all the female relatives in this room are obviously ordinary women who live in deep boudoirs and don't know the outside world. How could Su Yunchu have traveled several times in these years, and when they heard the words of the thief, they exclaimed, Sun's last It was a strong reaction, "Miss San is fine, isn't she being bullied by thieves?"
Fuling at the side heard what this family said, and her heart was already a little angry, what kind of family is this! If she didn't always remember what Su Yunchu had taught them, how could she bear these things.
But she still said in a low voice, "Aunt Sun's words are correct. Could it be that she is thinking about our lady being kidnapped... thinking that something will happen to our lady."
When a few people were talking, a little maid interrupted, and Sun was also unhappy, "Where did you come from, such a wild girl, so uneducated, how can you interrupt when the master talks?"
Fuling couldn't answer, Su Yunchu gave her a light look, this look was enough warning.
Facing Aunt Sun, Su Yunchu said with a faint smile, "This is Yunchu's maid, does Aunt Sun want to teach her instead of Yunchu?"
"Where, it's just that I don't know much about this girl. The third lady has to be disciplined in the future. The Hou's mansion is no better than Jiangnan. If something goes wrong, it will be the front of the entire Hou's mansion." She turned her head as she spoke. Going to look at the old lady, "Old lady, do you think so?"
Mother Su didn't pay much attention to her words, but she asked a little more about Su Yunchu's encounter with the thief, "How did you meet the thief, but why, you didn't get bullied?"
Su Yunchu was just a woman, and in the eyes of their female relatives, she was no different from them. They even thought that Su Yunchu's reputation had already been lost a lot when he met a thief.
She didn't really care about Su Yunchu, but she cared about the Zhiyuan Hou Mansion that Su Yunchu was associated with.
Su Yunchu just explained lightly, "Grandmother doesn't need to worry, Yunchu is fine, uncle and cousin arranged for Yunchu to escort back to Beijing with guards, mere bandits, of course."
But Su's mother was more worried, "Why did the bandits come to you? Could it be that they knew you were the daughter of the Marquis of Zhiyuan? Wouldn't this cause trouble for our Marquis of Zhiyuan?"
This worry was not about Su Yunchu, but about whether Su Yunchu would bring trouble to the Zhiyuanhou Mansion.
The corner of Su Yunchu's mouth sneered lightly, "Grandmother, don't worry, she won't bring disaster to the Hou Mansion."
Su's mother obviously didn't agree with her words, "How can you tell me to rest assured that such a thing happened just after returning to Beijing?"
Su Yunchu no longer wanted to pay attention to this stubborn old lady.
At this time, Su Yiran hurried over to smooth things over, "As long as the third sister is fine, grandma doesn't need to worry."
Then he turned to Su Yunchu and said, "Third sister, grandma is worried about you. You don't need to worry. When father comes back in the evening, mother and I will tell father about this time."
On the first day back home, the meeting was obviously not very pleasant.
Su Yunchu actually felt that her body and mind were inseparable. In her previous life, she carried a medicine box weighing dozens of kilograms on her back when she was on various missions, and she didn't feel tired following a group of men running long distances in various harsh environments. Well, now this is the first day, can't she take it anymore
On the way back to Shuiyunjian, she shook her head and sighed.
