Chapter 3 The Family

However, it is said that Song Yunpan's maternal family, the Wanping Su family, was a family with a century-old history of public officials. Their ancestors had produced three Wenhua Palace bachelors. The current head of the family, Su Er, Su Che, was also a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his official career was prosperous.

There are four brothers and sisters in Su Che's generation. The eldest brother Su Zheng was born by a maid. His biological mother died in childbirth. He was raised by Mr. Su's wife Cui since he was a child. Because for a long time, he was the only one in the Su family.

The heir had a very deep relationship with Mrs. Su, no less than his two later legitimate brothers Su Che and Su Lu.

It is precisely because of this that Su Zheng died of illness and his wife died in depression. Although Mrs. Su was heartbroken, she still resolutely shouldered the important task of educating Dafang's only legitimate son, Su Jing.

Fortunately, Su Jing was also very ambitious. He was awarded Jinshi at the age of 20 and was released for two terms. Due to his outstanding political achievements, he became the prefect of Dingzhou Prefecture with a fourth rank.

The uncle that the girls were talking about just now refers to Uncle Jing, who has excellent test scores, has expired at the local level, and is about to be transferred to the capital, and is Song Yunpan's eldest cousin.

When Song Yunpan's parents died and Mrs. Su brought her back from the south, Su Jing had already gone to work abroad. In the past few years, they had only seen each other during the New Year or when reporting on work. Therefore, Song Yunpan's feelings for this uncle Jing were

Her impression is very limited. She only remembers that he was a handsome and elegant elder brother who was about the same age as her father. He was also very caring and protective of her little cousin who was about the same age as her own daughter.

The uncle who had been away for many years was finally transferred back to the capital, and everyone in the Su family was very happy.

In particular, the eldest grandma Tian was eager to see what was going on. She was guarding the door of Jingyuan early in the morning.

Today I saw that she was wearing a pink t-shirt, a frost-colored skirt, and a pair of pearl earrings that made her skin look like frost and snow, making her look indescribably radiant.

Song Yunpan rarely saw her cousin-in-law dressed up in such a bright and colorful way, so she couldn't help but take a second look.

Mrs. Tian greeted her with a smile, "Sister Pan, are you here too?"

Song Yunpan hurriedly stepped forward to salute her, pursed her lips and smiled, "My eldest cousin looks really good today."

Tian was startled, then smiled and nodded her nose, "This little mouth is as sweet as honey... Everyone is waiting inside, so hurry in!"

Song Yunpan said yes, and a girl came out of the house to welcome her in.

When Song Yunpan entered the house, he realized that everyone in the second and third bedrooms had already arrived.

Song Yunpan quickly stepped forward to greet Mrs. Su, the second wife, the third wife and others.

Mrs. Su Er was a famous beauty when she was young. Although she is now nearly forty years old, God seems to be treating her particularly favorably. Her black satin-like hair sets off her beautiful face as before, and she looks as if she is standing next to her.

Su Yu behind her is like a sister.

Mrs. Su Er has two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter Su Jin married the Chen family of Tong'an Prefecture two years ago. The eldest son Su Heng is studying abroad. The second daughter Su Yu is fourteen years old. She has a nose full of goose fat and is as beautiful and dignified as a hibiscus.

The girl standing next to her was about the same age as her. She was tall and graceful, with beautiful appearance. Her skin was as white as jade in a pomegranate red skirt. She was Su Rong, the third girl from the second concubine.

Su Lin, the fourth girl from the third room, is younger than the two of them. Her face is like a full moon, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright. She is playing with Su Xiao from the first room, weaving ropes. When she sees Song Yun looking forward to coming in, she can't help but look at Su Yusu.

Rong blinked in the direction of Rong.

Su Rong smiled faintly, while Su Yu frowned slightly and shook her head.

Old Mrs. Su was holding Su Jing's youngest son Chun brother in her arms and teasing her. After Song Yunpan finished the ceremony, she asked her, "Girl, you said you caught a cold a few days ago. How refreshing is it to show up?"

Song Yunpan hurriedly replied, "It's already healed... Grandma is worried."

Mrs. Su nodded and was about to speak when she suddenly heard a chuckle in the room. Seeing everyone looking at her, Su Lin deliberately covered her nose and said, "I just told Sister Xiao that I smelled something strange."

Smell, she said she didn’t have it...isn’t she just hoping for the medicinal smell on my cousin’s body?”

Mrs. Su San glared at her angrily, "Why are you so narrow-minded?" Then she looked at Song Yunpan with concern and said, "But Sister Pan's body is really too thin. At such a young age, she can't stop talking...

…It’s just a matter of time to take care of your health.”

Song Yunpan has experienced many scenes like this that look caring but are actually ridiculing during the years she has been living under others' roofs. Even she herself doesn't know what she has done wrong. Her third aunt and fourth cousin are always so unkind to her...

She took a deep breath and felt that her cheeks were burning fiercely. She hurriedly lowered her head and blessed the third wife respectfully, "Thank you third aunt for caring... I hope I know."

Su Lin secretly curled her lips at Su Rong.

Everyone was talking here, and two young men of similar age outside had walked in together.

The third master, Su Rui, who was the first to come in was sixteen or seventeen years old. His appearance was quite similar to that of the third girl, Su Rong. However, his slightly upward peach blossom eyes did not look very upright. His eyes swept over Song Yunpan, his eyes widening.

A flash of surprise flashed across his face, and he stepped forward with a smile and said, "My grandson would like to say hello to my grandmother, my mother, and my third aunt."

The fourth master, Su Cong, who followed closely behind him, was the only son of the third wife. He was dressed in a moon-white Confucian shirt, which made him as elegant and fair as a bamboo. He walked forward without looking away, and bowed politely, "Sun.

My son wants to say hello to his grandmother, to his second aunt, and to his mother."

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Su was very happy to see her two grandsons. She asked the wet nurse to take Brother Chun down, and asked them with a smile, "Why did you finish school so early today?"

Su Rui smiled and said, "To answer my grandmother's question, since my husband knew that my eldest brother would be coming back today, he allowed us a half-day leave."

Mrs. Su nodded and asked them what they had learned from their husband. The two brothers answered one by one.

After hearing this, Mrs. Su laughed and said, "I don't know much about learning. I just know that it's like being a human being. You have to be down-to-earth and take it step by step..." She joked to the two of them, "On weekdays, you guys just have to be busy with your own business."

I don’t care much about your homework, we are a group of women, let alone know one thing, two or three... now it’s good, when your eldest brother comes back, you have to ask him to give your knowledge a try!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Mr. Su Er is busy with official duties, and except for Xiu Mu, most of them live in houses in Beijing. Mr. Su San only has a temporary position in the Ministry of Industry. He has been taking care of the family's industry these years. Now that the Su family's business is getting bigger and bigger, he is also becoming more and more important.

The busier I get, I am away from home for most of the year.

When the third wife heard this, she couldn't help stroking her hands and laughing, "I wish someone would take care of this skinny monkey for me!"
