A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Chengye was a little anxious. He didn't expect Su Yuanzhou to say that. He thought people had different degrees of closeness and distance, and Su Yuanzhou would understand this.

The old lady heard this and said, "How are they the same? You and Xiaoliu are closer by blood. After all, your third uncle is still a layer away from us, and he is not considered a family member."

The matter of Su Yuanyi inheriting the title had always been a knot in the old lady's heart. Now that Concubine Zeng had finally given birth to a son for the eldest house, she couldn't let the title fall into the hands of others.

So today, Su Yuanzhou and Su Qingyu were called back, firstly to save face for Aunt Zeng and the child, and secondly to discuss this matter.

Su Yuanzhou sneered when he heard this. Blood relationship? It seems that if there is a chance, he should ask Mr. Zhou to come to the Su family for a simple meal and help his father to verify the relationship.

I thought so in my heart, but I said casually: "You can't write two Su characters with one stroke. I wonder what my grandfather would think if he knew what my grandmother said."

"If father and grandmother discuss this with me, my attitude is that Yuan Yi will inherit the title. If father insists on appointing the crown prince instead, I can do nothing about it. However, the Pingning Marquisate will soon be on the verge of decline."

The old lady was a little unconvinced, "What does Yuanzhou mean by that? My Su family is thriving now, how come it has fallen into decline?"

Su Yuanzhou smiled and said, "Grandmother, you also know that our family is now a family with two noble titles. My Ning Wang Mansion and the Su family's Marquis Mansion should be of the same blood and help each other."

When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help showing pride. This was a great honor for the Su family, and it was also the confidence for her to go down to see the old master in the future.

Su Yuanzhou continued, "I'm telling you the truth, father, don't be upset. Your ability as an official is really average, far inferior to that of your third uncle."

"If Yuan Yi inherits the title, with Yuan Yi's talent and the support of his uncle, the Su family will have no problem prospering for another three generations."

"But if it's this newborn baby, it's hard to say. At that time, it won't be the two houses helping each other. I'm afraid the Su family will have to rely on the Ning Palace."

"If this continues, the Su family will soon be on the verge of ruin."

Even though Su Chengye knew that he was not very capable, his face turned red and white when his own son said it directly.

I wanted to scold my son, but because I know him well, I knew it would not work.

The old lady knew that Su Yuanzhou was right, but due to selfish motives, she still hoped that Aunt Zeng's child could inherit the title.

Su Yuanzhou was too lazy to say more to them. After making his attitude clear, he exchanged glances with Su Qingyu. The brother and sister stood up together and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Su Yuanzhou said, "Uncle San is related to the Song family by marriage. How will the Song family feel about changing the crown prince for no reason? Have grandma and father thought about it?"

There was no need for them to answer. He took Su Qingyu away after saying that.

The two of them walked out of the hall and headed toward the outer courtyard.

As soon as he came out of the Chuihua Gate, before he got on the carriage, he met Song Hongshen, who was accompanied by Su Yuanyi.

Song Hongshen saw the two of them from afar, hurried over and saluted Su Qingyu.

Su Yuanzhou teased him, "I am also your uncle-in-law, why didn't you bow to me?"

Su Qingyu tilted her head back to hold back her laughter, what a great term for a brother-in-law who hasn't even married into the family.

Song Hong gave him a sharp look, but because Su Qingyu was there, he did not say anything back.

Su Yuanzhou asked him again, "Why are you here?"

Song Hongshen asked in return: "Why can't I come?"

He is the future son-in-law of the Su family, and it is not natural for him to come to the Su family.

Su Yuanyi, who was standing by, accompanied them with a smile on his face. Ever since Song Hongshen and Su Zhilan's engagement continued, Song Hongshen came every now and then.

Whenever Song Hongshen came, he had to accompany him. It would not be good to let him walk around the Su family alone.

I thought Song Hongshen was a military general and was serious. But after a few contacts, Su Yuanyi found that he never acted like a prince and spoke in a pleasant manner. The more he contacted him, the more he saw that he was proficient in both civil and military strategies.

Su Yuanyi had received a lot of guidance from Shen Zhixiu in his studies before, and benefited a lot from it. During this period of time, Song Hong knew that he was going to take the imperial examination, so he deliberately explained a lot of tricks in it, which made Su Yuanyi even more ecstatic.

So during this period of time, the scene in the outer courtyard of the Su family was that Song Hongshen chased Su Zhilan to ask about shipbuilding, and Su Yuanyi chased Song Hongshen to ask how to write a policy paper that would stand out.

Hearing that Su Yuanyi was sending Song Hongshen out of the mansion, several people walked towards the carriage together.

Su Yuanzhou asked Song Hongshen in a low voice, "Did the emperor tell you when to leave for Fujian?"

Song Hongshen smiled and replied, "No hurry, I'll figure out this ship first."

Su Yuanzhou gave him a meaningful look and said, "My fifth sister is your wife-to-be, not a craftsman who builds a boat for you."

Song Hongshen raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't need to remind me."

Afterwards, they got on their carriages and returned home, and Su Qingyu also went directly back to the Shen family.

As soon as Fang returned home, the stewards came to the West Courtyard to ask for a meeting. Most of them were about trivial matters related to Shen Yue's marriage, and Su Qingyu took care of them one by one.

By the time I finished all these things, it was already noon.

Shen Zhixiu rarely returned home to have dinner, and the couple sat down in the flower hall.

Su Qingyu first talked about her return to the Marquis' Mansion today, and then said, "Sometimes I really want to open my father and grandmother's heads to see what they think about all day."

"Can the succession of a title be changed at will? Then what about the court's laws?"

"No wonder my grandfather often said when he was alive that my grandmother was narrow-minded and womanly."

Su Qingyu recalled that when her grandfather was alive, although the Su family had declined and become a low-ranking marquisate, her grandfather still worked hard to govern the family and moved up step by step.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so close to the old master of the Shen family and arranged a marriage for her. Even the third master of the Xie family was a close friend of my grandfather.

Later, when my grandfather passed away, the Su family became worse and worse.

Seeing Su Qingyu frowning, Shen Zhixiu was not very happy. Every time she went back to the Su family, the Su family would find something to do.

He couldn't bear to see Su Qingyu upset and angry, so he blamed the Su family in his heart.

"I think your third uncle is an upright person with a clear mind. How come your father-in-law and second uncle have such personalities?"

While Shen Zhixiu was asking questions, he put a fish on the plate and carefully picked out the fish bones with chopsticks.

Su Qingyu lowered her head to drink soup, and when he asked, she began to explain.

"In fact, my grandfather attached great importance to the upbringing of his children, but my grandmother protected her two biological sons and would not punish them or even say a harsh word to them."

"Later, my grandfather only brought my third uncle to his side to teach him. My father and second uncle were taught by a teacher. I heard that the teacher listened to my grandmother even on how to teach them."

Shen Zhixiu shook his head. The foundation of a big family is its descendants. If the descendants are not talented, the family will fall into decline overnight.

After the two finished talking about the Su family, they started talking about Shen Yue's marriage.

Because Shen Yue was still in mourning, all formalities had to be kept simple. The guests were also treated to a simple vegetarian banquet to show respect for the Shen family.

Shen Zhixiu thought for a moment and said, "Go to Prince Ning's mansion tomorrow to see if there are any omissions."

Su Qingyu laughed and said, "My mother was also a marquis' wife in the past. This is not something that I need to intervene in."

Shen Zhixiu shook his head.

"This time is different. The Emperor will personally visit Prince Ning's mansion that day."
