228: Something Happened

Mrs. Zeng smiled and said, "Your eldest brother has official duties and hasn't been home for three or four days. Google search to read"

Su Xinyi nodded. So that's the case. What kind of errands could the Imperial Guards have that would make them not show up for three or four days?

She just flashed by without thinking much, and went into the courtyard of the Taifu with everyone.

Except for the old master and Su Yi, everyone else was there. They divided two tables at the Taifu's place because there were too many people and one table couldn't accommodate them.

The eldest master asked Su Xinyi a few questions about the Ding'an Guards. Su Xinyi briefly explained the matter, and everyone couldn't help but sigh.

The third master looked at Su Xinyi and said, "I met Wang Zhifang once. I didn't expect that in just a dozen years, the Wang family would become like this."

The second master continued, "Wang Zhifang still didn't know how to manage his family affairs. Not only did his life get ruined by his brothers, but his children also suffered. His son could endure it, but it's a pity."

The eldest master nodded, "So the family should still live in harmony and not care about everything. The Wang family is an example."

Su Xinyi was happy to hear what the eldest uncle said. This was indeed what the eldest uncle could say. The eldest uncle treated his brothers very well and never thought of suppressing his brothers.

Su Qi and other juniors nodded hurriedly when they heard it. They didn't think there was any difference between the brothers before, but since they practiced martial arts together, the relationship became close all of a sudden.

In the past, they all studied in the academy, but they all studied by themselves. Except for class time, they were in their own rooms at other times. Although they were all in the same academy, the brothers had very little time to spend together.

But it was different when they practiced martial arts at home. Basically, except for sleeping, they were together. After tearing off the gentle and elegant face in the academy, they knew what the brothers were really like.

When they were young, everyone practiced Tongzi Kung Fu. Later, they were too busy in school and gradually put it aside. It is really not easy to pick it up again now, but after that most difficult time, they are now used to it. In order to ignore the hardship of practicing martial arts, everyone started to compete in reciting when squatting.

Then, everyone found that this was really a good way to kill two birds with one stone, which could review the lessons and practice martial arts.

Now the brothers have endless things to say when they get together, and their relationship is much better than before. So now everyone feels deeply in agreement with the words of the eldest master.

After hearing Su Xinyi say that the Wang family's official position had been returned to the court, Su Qi said, "Wang Daoji is a smart man. He knows that even if he doesn't hand over the command room, he has already lost the emperor's favor and will lose it sooner or later. It's better to hand it over now. Although he is exiled, he still has a chance to make a comeback. When he really makes great contributions one day, the higher-ups will remember that he decisively returned the command and will give him a break."

Su Chu also said, "Second brother is right. Anyway, the Wang family is rotten inside and outside. He might as well start a new business."

"I'm afraid he can't not hand it over. There is also Wang Shao watching him. As long as Wang Daoji takes over as the commander, Wang Shao will be like a poisonous snake watching him in the dark. He really can't sleep well." Su Ju shook his head and said.

Listening to the words of the younger generation, the third master laughed and said to his elder and second brothers: "These boys have made great progress recently, not bad."

The women on the side of the old lady were more concerned about Xinyi's daily life on the way. Both sides talked happily. The old lady looked at Su Xinyi and said: "Since you are back, you should rest more at home. It happens that your fifth sister's embroidered dowry is here. You can go and talk to her when you have time."

Su Xinyi agreed and said with a smile: "It's just right. I will also learn needlework from the fifth sister."

Su Xixian smiled and said: "Okay, I will teach you what you want to learn."

The eldest lady was happy, "These two are really brave to teach and learn."

Everyone laughed at once, Su Xixian blushed slightly, turned around and looked at Su Xinyi, and saw that she was laughing happier than herself.

Upon hearing this, the Third Lady said something rare, "It's enough for our girls to know how to use a needle. Even if they get married in the future, they will have to do it themselves. It's just for show. Anyway, there will always be an embroiderer as a dowry."

The Tai Madam looked at the Third Madam and shook her head, but didn't say anything. She looked at the First Madam and said, "Please keep an eye on it later. Take a look at the shoes and socks that Xixian prepared for her mother-in-law."

The First Madam smiled and agreed. The new daughter-in-law had to prepare shoes and socks for her parents-in-law, and she was also showing off her needlework skills to her mother-in-law.

The Third Madam's mouth twitched. She didn't dare to talk back to the Tai Madam and could only keep silent. It was less troublesome to have someone watching her.

After dinner, Su Xinyi came out of the Tai Madam's place and said goodbye to everyone and walked back with her mother.

The fourth lady whispered to her daughter, "The Yin family came to urge the marriage, saying that they want to get married before the New Year."

Su Xinyi was stunned, "Why so soon? Didn't they say that the fifth sister's wedding would be scheduled after the New Year?"

"Yes, that was originally the plan, but Madam Yin came to tell the old lady that she was in poor health and hoped to have a daughter-in-law to help her manage the household. In addition, Yin Ru is really old, and Madam Yin also hopes that her son can get married earlier."

Su Xinyi was surprised and said, "Did the family agree?"

"Your grandmother didn't want to agree at first, but seeing that Madam Yin looked so easy to be defeated and came to the door in person, she was really sincere, so she agreed at a moment's weakness." The fourth lady looked up at the starry sky, "The wedding date is set for the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month."

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, "Then it will be soon."

"You sisters have a good relationship. Visit each other more often when you have time. When you are both married, it will be difficult to meet each other."

Su Xinyi agreed, and then thought of Su Chu's marriage, so she asked softly: "Mother, did you know about the fifth brother's marriage? Aunt Weng wants him to marry a girl from the Weng family?"

How could the fourth lady not know? She smiled at her daughter, "Are you worried about your fifth brother?"

Su Xinyi nodded, "I don't think the Weng family is a suitable marriage partner."

"Don't talk about others. Your third aunt will not agree." The fourth lady should not say some things to her daughter, but she remembered that Xixian was going to get married, and Xinyi would soon marry into the East Palace. She had to let the child know how to deal with some things. She took her back to her own courtyard, sent all the maids away, and then continued to speak.

"Aunt Weng is a thorn in your third aunt's heart, so she will never let your fifth brother marry a member of the Weng family. If she doesn't want to see Aunt Weng, she can just pretend to be generous and not allow Aunt Weng to come and pay her respects. But if your fifth brother marries a girl from the Weng family, she can't stay away from her concubine's wife for years, so your third aunt will definitely not agree to this marriage."

Su Xinyi had never thought about this, and she suddenly realized it after hearing her mother say this. Although she knew that her third aunt would not agree, she didn't think about why she didn't agree. When her mother said this, she was really enlightened.

"What about the third uncle?" Su Xinyi was afraid that the third uncle would give in because of Aunt Weng.

"With Xixian's example, your third uncle will definitely ask your grandmother first."

Su Xinyi understood and said with a smile: "Grandmother is still amazing."

Fourth Madam also laughed when she heard it, and looked at Xinyi and said: "Mother told you this because she wanted you to know that things in the back house are not simple. You will always get married in the future, and it will be a place like the Eastern Palace. I am worried when I think about it. I have told Madam She to tell you more about the palace. You should learn well."

Su Xinyi smiled and agreed, "I will listen to mother."

Fourth Madam looked at her daughter and patted her hand, "Go back and rest early, and we will talk tomorrow if there is anything."

Su Xinyi smiled and said: "Then you should rest early too."

Su Xinyi returned to her room, and lay down after a simple wash. After Lianqiao closed the curtain, she left only a lamp in the corner and quietly retreated.

Su Xinyi was not sleepy, and there were many things in her mind. It seemed that she was on a completely different path from her previous life, but she didn't know why she always felt that she had neglected something, but she just couldn't remember it.

She didn't know when she fell asleep, and she didn't know how she dreamed of Yan Qiongsi. She saw Yan Qiongsi talking and laughing with the Princess of Pingjing County. The two were very intimate. She sat in a corner like a piece of wood, and occasionally she could feel Yan Qiongsi looking at her.

The dream turned again, and it seemed to go back to the day of fire prevention. The whole dream was full of blazing flames, and she woke up suddenly.

Su Xinyi sat up suddenly, sweating all over, her heart was still throbbing, she hadn't had a nightmare for a long time, which made her feel a little ominous.

Su Xinyi couldn't sleep, so she got up. She looked at the hourglass on the windowsill. It was only the last quarter of the morning. She changed her clothes and went out quietly, not disturbing Lian Qiao who was on duty outside.

But Lian Qiao woke up and immediately got up from the low couch, "Miss, why are you up so early? What are you doing?"

Lian Qiao was shocked to see that the girl had changed everything, and she became alert all of a sudden.

Su Xinyi said, "You continue to sleep. I'm not sleepy, so I'm going to the martial arts arena."

Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment. Going to the martial arts arena so early?

Before she could come to her senses, she saw that the girl had already left the house.

Su Xinyi went to the martial arts arena with a spear. There was no one on the martial arts arena. She picked up the spear and started practicing. The tip of the spear was like a meteor in the night.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Xinyi heard someone say in surprise, "Sixth sister, why are you here so early?"

Su Xinyi stopped when she heard the voice and turned around to see that it was her third brother, "Third brother, why are you here so early today?"

Usually, the first one to come was usually her second brother.

Su Bei sighed, "Let's not talk about these sad things. Let's have a few moves, brother and sister. I think your spear skills are very powerful."

"Okay, come on." Su Xinyi took a spear from the weapon rack and threw it to her third brother.

Her third brother was gentle, very different from her third uncle. She didn't expect that he was so interested in practicing spears with her today.

The two siblings exchanged a few moves. Su Xinyi stopped at first and slowly accompanied her third brother. Gradually, the two of them exchanged more and more moves, which seemed like a confrontation.

Su Bei knew that her sixth sister's spear skills were powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful. He was under her, and his spear couldn't break through at all, and he was always suppressed.

Soon Su Qi also came, followed by Su Chu and Su Ju. Several people stood together to watch the two of them. It was soon clear that the sixth sister was just showing her moves, and several people immediately became interested.

Such good opportunities are rare.

Su Bei was really exhausted, so he sat on the ground and gasped for breath. He looked at the sixth sister and asked, "Your spear skills are indeed different from what we learned."

Su Xinyi smiled and said, "My skills are wild, so they are naturally different."

She learned moves to save her life, while her brothers all practiced martial arts seriously, with big moves, which was the model of a famous and upright family.

"Sixth sister, take a break, let's practice together?" Su Qi handed Su Xinyi a bowl of tea and said.

Su Xinyi nodded, "Okay, but, second brother, don't you practice basic skills?"

"Practice, practice for two hours every day." Su Qi looked at Su Xinyi and said, Sixth sister's spear is as powerful as a thousand pounds, they don't have a deep foundation and lack strength, if they really fight in the battlefield, they can't withstand a few shots from the enemy.

"Then you practice first, I'll go run a few laps." Su Xinyi put down the tea bowl, "We'll practice after you stretch your muscles and bones."

Several people agreed.

Su Xinyi began to run around the martial arts field, watching her brothers practice plum blossom piles first, then horse stance, and listening to them compete in reciting books, the heavy mood before slowly eased.

Not only she is different in the Duke of Qi's Mansion, but everyone is different.

Even though her father is gone, the glory of the Qi family will not be depressed. With these brothers, the Su family will definitely be revitalized.

Their Su family will no longer be suppressed by others and have a hard time like in the previous life.

She actually agrees with giving up literature and pursuing martial arts, because the foundation of the Su family is in the army. Unless you are a genius who will make a big splash, it is difficult to get the upper hand from those civil officials who are not on good terms with the Su family.

So the official careers of several brothers in the previous life were very difficult because they took the wrong path.

Sometimes, passing the imperial examination is not the end, but the beginning.

Being an official is not a simple matter. Why do some people have a prosperous career while others have a bad fate? Is it because they have no talent?

How many people who can pass the imperial examination are stupid?

The Su family started with martial arts. If they want to make a way out by studying literature, it is only possible if the foundation of the Su family in the army is completely scattered.

Otherwise, even if His Majesty is sitting on the throne, I am afraid that he may not be willing to see that the Su family can do both civil and military.

After Su Xinyi finished running, she rested at the side of the martial arts arena, watching her brothers squatting and reciting. Whoever lost would have an extra stick of incense stick of time. She was so happy to see this. It was fun to play like this.

Su Qi saw Xinyi laughing at the side and was about to ask her to recite together. How could she lose to her sister in reciting?

Before he could say anything, his long-servant came running over in a hurry, "Second Young Master, something happened to the eldest young master. Second Master asked you to go over quickly."
