My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 17
Su Chen walked around, it was no different from the Hou Mansion, with flowers and trees, rockery, waterside pavilion, and winter pavilion, the home was even more complete than here.

"It's better to go back, I guess we're done talking."

After counting the time, I walked a few more steps, but there was really nothing to see. I turned around and walked back along the original path. From a distance, a woman in a white dress with a moire pattern came angrily, rolling up her gauze sleeves as she walked.

"That woman in the pavilion...is she coming towards me?" Su Chen was stunned for a moment. Before he could raise his hand to salute, the woman took two steps in three steps and was already in front of him, looking Su Chen up and down.

"Letter, have you read it?"

"Ok?"

Thinking that the other party might say those words, he didn't expect that when he opened his mouth, it was actually these words. Su Chen was stunned again, looking at the pretty woman in front of him, and... hands on hips, one lotus foot outside the skirt, tiptoes from time to time Point on the ground.

Just like a tomboy.

Su Chen subconsciously took a step back.

"Looked."

The woman took a step closer: "Let me ask you, why did you turn around and leave when you heard the sound of the piano just now?"

"It doesn't sound good, of course I'll leave."

"I started learning piano when I was eight years old, and you said that I don't play well." The woman raised her eyebrows, and Su Chen pointed at the maid next to her: "Do you think it sounds good to you?"

"Slave... Of course I think it sounds good." The maid didn't expect that Su Chen would cause trouble. Fortunately, she reacted quickly.

“It took me a lot of stumbling to explain it clearly, but it’s not obvious whether it sounds good or not?”

Su Chen came with Su Congfang to ask Fang Xueshi to get his name. He didn't want to get entangled with the female family members in this mansion and cause trouble. It would really be a fight.

While the woman opposite tilted her head and didn't understand what she just said, she quickly walked around.

"You stop!"

The woman didn't care about the long skirt she was wearing at this time. She turned around with the hem of the skirt and jumped. She stepped on the nearby treetops with her lotus feet, jumped over Su Chen's head in the air, and landed steadily in front of him with her arms open.

"Don't go."

"What else is there?" Su Chen knew it. This woman's Qinggong was much better than Fuqin.

The woman retracted her arms, crossed her arms into her arms, tilted her head, and stared at Su Chen with her beautiful eyes.

"It's okay. I can't look at you if it's okay. When you get to my house, I can look at you as I like."

The corner of Su Chen's mouth twitched, and the female man turned into a female gangster.

The other party was a woman, so it was hard for him to do anything, so he could only use his mouth.

Then, he said: "Shrew..."

At this time, Su Congfang and Fang Wenye also came from the front yard. The two old men, who were more than ten years apart, were talking as they walked.

"The plague in Ding'an City has passed. I heard that Su Chen did a lot in it?"

"Haha, he has so many weird ideas. He led a group of people from all walks of life in the city, running around borrowing water. He thought it would only be enough to make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect that he would make more people feel moved and join in the fight against the drought. , among the victims." At this point, Su Congfang couldn't help laughing, obviously satisfied with her youngest son's performance.

Fang Wenye stroked his beard and nodded, then smiled and said, "I'm a deviant, but I'm also a practical person."

The two of them stopped immediately under the corridor. Su Congfang turned around and looked at each other: "Did Mr. Wen Ye read the letter sent by someone a few days ago?"

"Haha, after looking at it, I was satisfied when I saw your son today. It is naturally my dream to be able to marry the Marquis."

The old man was very happy on his face and in his heart. Being able to marry Lord Marquis, it didn't matter whether his son became a talented person or not. The Fang family did not lack fame and money, but real power.

Although the Marquis of Ding'an only has three or four thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, are they still soldiers and horses, right?

What's more, he also heard that Su Chen once led troops to kill thieves. With such a grandson-in-law, his future is unlimited. Will the Fang family be afraid of being persecuted in the future?

The two old men looked at each other, smiled, and continued walking forward. At this time, they also heard some voices. Looking along the sound, they saw Su Chen and a woman standing on the gravel path between the gardens, as if they were talking.

"The woman in the white dress is my third-brother's granddaughter, whose maiden name is Xuejun."

Su Congfang nodded, with a satisfied smile on her face: "You are a talented man and a beautiful woman. It seems that you and my son have a good chat. I didn't expect that they would hit it off so well as soon as they met."

Thirteen who was guarding him had martial arts skills, and he heard the words that came from him clearly.

Someone from the side reminded him in a low voice: "Master Hou, they seem to be quarreling." Then, Su Congfang glared at her and said in a low voice: "Get lost." Then, he smiled at Fang Wenye on the side and said: "Hitting means kissing and scolding means love. Not hitting or scolding means harm. Don't you think so, Bachelor Fang?"

"Haha, Mr. Hou is really full of witty words. How wonderful."

The guard was originally a little embarrassed when he exposed the incident, but the careless Lord Su's words were resolved with a vulgar proverb, which made Fang Wenye feel much better.

"Master Marquis, I will stay in my humble residence today. I will give Su Chen a calligraphy in two days."

"Okay!" Su Congfang agreed directly, turned around and whispered: "Then the marriage between our two families has been settled. After we return, we will have a good day to finalize the marriage in a serious manner."

The old man nodded: "This is natural."

……

"Girl, my father is waiting over there, just take the first step."

Su Chen said a few words and realized that it was pointless to argue with a woman. This woman was so ignorant that no matter what she said, she would always smile and stare at him.

After saying that, Su Chen quickly turned around and left, returned to the corridor to greet his father and Fang Xueshi, and was then taken by his father to stay in the North Courtyard of Fang Mansion.

As soon as they left, a woman named Fang Xuejun came over, stood beside the old man with her hands folded, twisted her toes, and slightly pushed the old man's arm with her shoulder shyly, biting her red lips with her pretty face lowered. .

"Grandpa, have you... decided to get married?"

Haha, the old man laughed when he saw his always careless granddaughter acting like this: "You are so anxious. It seems that Su Chen suits your liking."

Xue Jun bit his lip and nodded, as soft as a mosquito's voice: "Ling my heart."

"I heard that he likes visiting brothels." The old man continued to tease her.

"There's no man who doesn't want to be lecherous. He always goes to explain..." The woman thought for a moment, then blushed and continued: "It means... that he has a strong body!"

"You! You child, you are talking nonsense." Fang Wenye also did not expect that his granddaughter would say such nonsense to excuse Su Chen, but since the marriage between the two has been decided by the adults on both sides, it is up to her. Well, "Master Su will stay at our house for two days. When you have time, you can take Su Chen around the city and see the mountains, rivers and ancient temples. However, don't take him running around and causing trouble."

"No way."

Fang Xuejun waved her hands repeatedly, and she thought for a while: "Then... I will take him on an outing and ask the second-generation ancestors in the city to accompany him. What do you think, grandpa?"

They are both children of a wealthy official family. Knowing Su Chen's identity, she will naturally only fawn over him and will not make him angry. Fang Xuejun still thinks clearly about this. Firstly, the two of them don't have to be so embarrassed when they get along. Secondly, they can be more comfortable. A long time of contact.

The old man naturally saw what his granddaughter was thinking, and agreed without thinking too much.

"Now that you've thought about it, just do it."

Fang Xuejun's eyes lit up, he changed his reserved attitude, his pretty face flushed with excitement, he turned around and sprinted towards the backyard.

Compared to the woman's excitement, Su Chen didn't know that his marriage had been decided by his father. He was lying on the soft wooden bed, with his head on the back of his head, thinking about the assassin. Just because Su Congfang didn't let him continue to investigate, it didn't mean that he gave up.

But why has there been no news for three months? Is it because they are waiting for the Su family to relax their vigilance and launch another sneak attack?
The sky fell into night.

Thirteen asked him to eat outside, and Su Chen woke up from his light sleep. After washing his face, he followed Su Congfang, who had been waiting for a long time, to the atrium of the Fang Mansion for dinner. When he passed by, a sumptuous banquet had already been held. The main room of the family and the second bedroom at the back were all here, and the living room was full. The courtyard outside was filled with relatives of the Fang family.

There is a woman accompanying the old man. Women in the Fang family are not allowed to show up at will, but now they probably know that the two families are about to marry, so it is reasonable to come out to accompany the table.

Of course Fang Xuejun was also there, but at the table where the women were sitting, he winked at Su Chen who was eating from time to time, and then her mother tapped the back of her hand with the head of a chopstick to become more honest.

Su Chen didn't talk much with the Fang family at the table. Firstly, they were not familiar with each other and there was a generation gap. Secondly, he had something on his mind and wasn't much interested in talking to others. At most, the Fang family came over to toast, and he got up to respond.

After dinner, Su Congfang was drinking tea and chatting with Fang Wenye in the hall. He was about to return to his place, but he was stopped by the woman who jumped out of the shadows, and then left a sentence: "Go out with me tomorrow." He flew up to the wall, stepped on the courtyard wall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Uh……

Su Chen looked at the woman walking up and down the wall of his courtyard speechlessly. He realized that the other woman seemed to be a little too enthusiastic about him, and couldn't help but shudder.

Sure enough, he was right. Early the next morning, Fang Xuejun came to look for him. He even dragged Su Chen into the carriage. Sitting in the car, the woman was not quiet. She lifted the curtains and looked excited. Introduce him to the street scene in the city.

Soon after, they drove out of the south city and met four carriages at the city gate.

The mountains and fields are already a little yellowish at this season.

　I originally wanted to update it last night, but I found that some parts were not done well and it was a bit delayed. This morning I re-edited the chapter I had prepared to eliminate unnecessary plot points.
