Chapter 207

"Second Master!"

The guard at the door saw the middle-aged man approaching and hurriedly clasped his fists in salute. The middle-aged man nodded slightly and walked inside.

Shen Wuming lowered his eyebrows and took the two women to follow the middle-aged man into the hall.

"You drink tea first, I'll go to the backyard!"

The middle-aged man said lightly, and after asking the servants to serve tea, he walked towards the backyard.

Shen Wuming nodded slightly, but he was still a little confused. Would this mother-in-law's family be too cold?

Did he go to the wrong door?

Otherwise, why did this middle-aged man look like he couldn't stand him?

"Benefactor, what's wrong with this man? He seems to be unhappy with us?"

When the servants served tea, the little fox asked Shen Wuming, his eyes full of confusion.

"Isn't this the home of the wife of the Marquis of Shouting? You come here, and you are a son-in-law after all. Why do they have this attitude?"

Not to mention that the little fox didn't understand, Shen Wuming was also full of confusion.

When in Zhongshan County, Su Yue'e didn't tell him much about her family.

She wouldn't mention it on weekdays.

She just asked him to come to the Su family before leaving, and said that he didn't need to be polite to his grandfather.

But he should be more intimate with his uncle, saying that his uncle had been very good to her since she was a child...

But now this look seems a little wrong, doesn't it?

This Su family seems too cold.

Cao Zhuyu blinked, "I did hear some gossip, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"After all, so many years have passed, and many things... I just heard it from others."

"Oh?" Shen Wuming turned his head, "Tell me about it!"

"It seems that when Madam Chu got married, there was some unpleasantness. It's a rumor."

Cao Zhuyu seemed to find it difficult to say, after all, it was to criticize the elders behind their backs, and in their family.

So she lowered her voice, "It is said that the Dongcheng Marquis's Mansion arranged a marriage for her at that time."

"It seems to be a member of the royal family. The elders of both families are negotiating and preparing for engagement."

"In the end, no one expected that Mrs. Chu suddenly said that she had found her ideal husband, the Shouting Marquis!"

"At that time, the Shouting Marquis was not a general marquis, but just a military man who was still preparing for the military examination!"

"Everyone in the Dongcheng Marquis' Mansion was very dissatisfied, especially because they offended that royal family."

"In the end...it is said, or it is said, it is said that the Dongcheng Marquis was so angry that he turned the table on the spot."

"In the end, Mrs. Chu cried, made a fuss, and hanged herself. She would not marry the Shouting Marquis. You know what happened in the end."

"That's a bit old-fashioned!"

Speaking of this, Cao Zhuyu also sighed, "After all, everyone has a young time."

"But I didn't expect Mrs. Chu to be so fierce when she was young. I don't know how many girls praised her."

Although this era advocates the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, in fact, which girl in the boudoir has not expected an ideal husband?

Even Cao Zhuyu, when he was with Shen Wuming, didn't he have to go against his father?

But Cao Zijing quarreled, scolded, and was sarcastic, but he didn't really stop them.

"So that's what happened?"

Shen Wuming's eyes were full of gossip, "What happened next? How did my mother-in-law get together with my father-in-law?"

The little fox also nodded, his eyes full of desire to find out, and pulled Cao Zhuyu's sleeve.

"Later, Mrs. Chu..."

Before she finished her words, footsteps were heard outside, and a slightly dry voice sounded.

"Later, that unfilial daughter eloped, took advantage of the night to climb over the courtyard wall and escaped."

"The man surnamed Chu is still outside to support him. He stole the person away from under my nose. Your father is so brave!"

As the voice sounded, an old man in a black brocade robe walked in, walking like a dragon and a tiger, and was in high spirits.

Although his hair is gray, his eyes are still bright and seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Uh..."

Shen Wuming was a little embarrassed, and quickly stood up and bowed, "May I ask who the senior is..."

"Your grandpa!"

The old man snorted coldly and walked forward to sit in the main seat, "What are you doing? Call me grandpa!"

"Uh..."

Shen Wuming hesitated for a moment, and the middle-aged man just walked in, "He is really your grandpa, Su Yuanzhi!"

"I am your second uncle!"

"You also have an uncle Su Letian, but he was exiled to the border, you should not see him in the short term!"

I don't know if this middle-aged man just lost money in gambling or something, his face is always Sima face.

He chose the name Su Letian, Shen Wuming was speechless.

Is this playing a contrast?

However, he still hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Shen Wuming greets grandpa and uncle!"

"Yes."

Su Letian nodded lightly, and Su Yuanzhi above him looked him up and down without a good face.

"Shen Wuming?"

Su Yuanzhi frowned slightly, "Recently, a poem has been circulating in the capital, and it is quite famous."

"What's it called "Man Jiang Hong·Laozi Dan Nian", and the author seems to be Shen Wuming. Did you write it?"

Compared to Shen Wuming's previous love poems, this poem Laozi Dan Nian is obviously more popular.

Especially among the wandering knights and the military strategists.

It has a broad mass base.

Now even the powerful and noble like Dongcheng Hou have heard of it. To be honest, Su Yuanzhi still likes it very much.

He had never been to a battlefield in his life, but he could still feel the high spirits in the poems.

Especially when he rectified the finances, the grain and tax revenue of the Han Dynasty increased by 30%.

Even if he was drinking with old friends now, he could still say that I did this and that in the past.

"That's right!"

Shen Wuming nodded, but didn't say much.

Su Yuanzhi's eyes became more and more fierce, "I remember this poem was written a long time ago, right?"

"I've heard people singing it as a song recently, and it's been spread everywhere. It seems that you haven't come to the capital for the past two days?"

"It took you so long to find out that you came to my Dongcheng Marquis Mansion. What were you doing before? Were you fooling around?"

"You are so unruly every day, just like your unruly mother!"

Su Yuanzhi seemed to be very resentful. He started to scold Shen Wuming several times with a preaching tone.

Shen Wuming was helpless. What did it have to do with him?

His mother-in-law didn't say how important this matter was before, and there was no need for him to come.

But before he had time to speak, Su Yuanzhi spoke again, "There's more."

"Since you've come to my Dongcheng Marquis Mansion, you belong to my Dongcheng Marquis Mansion, so stay here."

"Are you here to take the imperial examination? Don't fool around all day, just stay at home, and I'll supervise your studies."

"Did you hear that?"

Although Su Yuanzhi's tone was impolite, he seemed to quickly take on the role of his grandfather.
