"Master Su! There was a flood in the east of the city last night. Do you know?" An official in green official uniform smiled and looked at Su Yunqi, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

At this time, several officials who were traveling with him all looked at Su Yunqi, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Su Yunqi has a good figure, a square face, and is wearing a red official uniform. When he smiles, his beard stretches down his cheeks into the shape of an "eight".

"I have indeed heard about it, but I wonder who it is from?" Su Yunqi said with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Su Yunqi, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, did not know much about this matter, the official suddenly said excitedly: "Last night, the house that was burned was the residence of Sun Zhicai's daughter, Sun Yan. I heard that Sun Yan's maid saw

He ran away after the fire, but Sun Yan failed to come out and died inside."

After hearing this, Su Yunqi, the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue, grinned and said: "Evil people have their own evil intentions."

"That's right." A minister in purple official uniform agreed.

"Sun Zhicai must have been hiding in that quilt last night crying inconsolably." The official in red official uniform said with a smile.

As soon as he said this, several ministers who were traveling with him immediately burst into laughter.

After a while, an official in a red official uniform asked with a smile on his face: "I heard that your dog Su Runchen is alone now, so I have an idea. I have a daughter at my knees who is not married yet. I wonder if Mr. Su can...

…?”

This person is Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, with a round face and a thick, dark beard. There are two girls and two boys below his knees. The eldest daughter is still unmarried, the eldest son is currently working as a minor official, and the second son has achieved nothing.

"Cen Shangshu, this matter will be decided after I go back and discuss it with Quanzi." Su Yunqi said with a smile.

"Okay, let's discuss it. If it works out, our two families will be in-laws." Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, said with a smile.

After hearing this, the surrounding ministers all congratulated him in advance with smiles on their faces.

"If it happens, I hope you two will remember to invite us ministers to come and have a wedding banquet together."

"Absolutely." Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, replied.

…

The heavy snow kept falling, and the falling snowflakes fell one by one on the old tree in the Sun Mansion courtyard.

"Sir, madam, would you two have something to eat?" said a maid from the Sun Mansion.

However, at this moment, Mrs. He and Mr. Sun seemed to be unable to hear, as if the surrounding sounds were cut off.

Mrs. He knelt beside her daughter Sun Yan's coffin, resting her hands on the coffin board. Her two tiny red eyes kept dripping from her cheeks and wet her clothes.

Because Sun Yan was burned to death and her death was ugly, she was cremated in advance and placed in a coffin.

However, Sun Yan's father, Sun Zhicai, stood in front of his daughter's coffin, but his red eyes could not shed a single tear.

Seeing that the whole family was sad, as a maid, she had no choice but not to disturb them too much...

The roaring wind kept blowing, causing the branches on both sides of the river bank to break, causing the water in the river to blow out waves.

"Drive! Drive!"

A covered carriage came from the river bank. The horse's hair was frozen solid, but the driver was still holding the horse rope tightly with his ice-red hands.

"Third Young Master, how many days will it take to get to Tongzhou?" Grandma Zhang suddenly asked.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"Mommy, we set off late at night last night, and it has only been a day. We just left Lingling and it will take us another four or five days to reach Tongzhou," Sun Chunxu replied.

After hearing this, Nanny Zhang curiously opened the carriage curtain and took a look at the scenery on the river. At this time, a cold wind blew in, and it was so cold that Nanny Zhang hurriedly closed the carriage window.

Grandma Zhang looked at the maid holding the sleeping child, and she seemed to regard the child as her own. Grandma Du felt a little touched in an instant.

"Girl, what is your original name?" asked Nanny Zhang.

After hearing this, the maid raised her head, looked at the kind Aunt Zhang, and instantly spoke her mind: "My name is Li Xiran, from Maping County. My mother passed away when I was young. My father took me under my wing.

Father sent me to the palace for money."

After hearing this, Grandma Zhang looked at the honest maid and said, "You miserable child." Then, Grandma Zhang expressed her thoughts: "Girl, after we leave Yanyang, you will no longer be a maid, and we will call you in the future.

Li Xiran, we will not treat you like a maid."

After hearing what Grandma Zhang said, the maid who had been worried all the way finally laughed, and her smile was sweeter than usual.

"Okay." After answering, Li Xiran looked at the child in his arms and suddenly boldly asked Aunt Zhang: "Auntie, this child doesn't have a name yet, why don't you give it one?"

"Hmm..." But she was uneducated, so Grandma Du couldn't think of a name after thinking for a long time.

"Third Young Master, how about you pick one up?" asked Aunt Zhang.

The young master, who was originally very bored, suddenly felt that he was becoming more and more useful after hearing the name given to him, and his temperament for driving a carriage suddenly improved.

"Okay, let me think about it." After thinking for a long time, Sun Chunxu himself couldn't think of a good name. He suddenly felt the disadvantages of not studying hard.

Suddenly, a name appeared in Sun Chunxu's mind.

"How about calling me Chen Ziyuan?" Sun Chunxu said.

After hearing this, Grandma Zhang read it to herself: "Chen Ziyuan." It sounded good, but Grandma Du felt something was strange.

"Master, how did you come up with such a name?" asked Granny Zhang.

However, he did not have much education. Sun Chunxu replied: "Yuan, he got it because of his injustice. In the future, this child will not forget his hatred. Zi, he faced it when he was a child."

As soon as the young master explained it, Grandma Zhang obeyed immediately.

"Chen Ziyuan" Li Xiran also read it once. After reading it, Li Xiran praised: "What a name!"

The car was still driving. Even though it was getting late and they had a lot of money with them, they were still reluctant to spend it and chose to save what they could. After all, they still had children.

At some point, the speed of the carriage slowly slowed down, and Grandma Zhang, Li Xiran and the children in the carriage had already fallen asleep.

Sun Chunxu parked the carriage on the side of the road, then curled his hands together, leaned his back against the carriage, closed his eyes tightly, and tried his best to fall asleep.

At this moment, in Yanyang City, many people in the Su Mansion were sitting happily on mahogany chairs, eating food and discussing things.

Suddenly, the topic turned to Su Mansion's eldest son, Su Runchen.

"Run Chen, you are not young now. It is time for you to get a wife. There is just one candidate for you as a father. Do you agree?" Su Yunqi said with a smile.

"Dad, tell me

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Listen, whose girl is this?" Su Runchen asked with great interest.

"Cen Yinzhu, the beloved daughter of Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs who was his father's colleague."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table looked at Su Yunqi, but Su Runchen stood up.

"No! I won't agree!" Su Runchen said firmly.

Seeing his son like this, Su Yunqi, as a father, became furious: "Sit down! How can you talk like this?! Even if you don't agree to this matter, you have to agree to it!"

"Anyway, I won't agree. There is no good-looking woman in Yanyang, but Cen Yinzhu, with her appearance, is scarier than a pig." Su Runchen said,

After listening to his son's words, Su Yunqi also had some understanding of this woman. However, if this happened, his popularity in the court would be even greater. After thinking about it, Su Yunqi continued to persuade her.

"You're not that handsome either! If you two get married, do you know how much benefit our Su family will have in the court?" Su Yunqi continued.

"Anyway, I don't agree. I just want to be a high-ranking official. Just try your best to make the emperor trust you." After saying that, Su Runchen hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks unhappily and left his seat.

"Run Chen!" Mrs. Fan Zheng shouted hurriedly.

Seeing that his son was so stubborn, Su Yunqi, the master of the Su family, looked at Mrs. Fan with an unhappy face and said, "Look! Look! This is the good son you have trained!"

Mr. Su's words made Mrs. Fan dare not refute, so she had no choice but to continue eating the food herself.

While eating, Mrs. Fan didn't want to see the happy faces of the other two ladies in private, so she quickly stood up, took Su Runchen's bowls and chopsticks, picked up a few dishes, and was about to give them to Runchen.

"What are you doing?" Su Yunqi asked unhappy.

"Give him a bowl of rice. If he doesn't eat, he will starve." Fan explained.

"What are you going to give? Can you starve him to death?" Suddenly, Su Yunqi spoke louder, as if he was afraid that his eldest son wouldn't hear him: "Forget it, starve to death! You're not living up to expectations!"

Mrs. Fan was so frightened by what the master said that she quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks, picked up her own bowl and chopsticks and started eating silently...

But the Cen family is in a different situation from the Su family...

"Daughter, you are not young now. It's time to get married. Dad helped you choose a good family. I wonder if you are willing?" Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Revenue, asked happily.

Before she knew who it was, her daughter Cen Yinzhu agreed: "Daughter, I agree. I wonder which young master it is? Dad."

"Su Runchen, the eldest son of Su."

As soon as she said it, her daughter was stunned for a moment, and then she became worried about her filial piety: "Dad, if your daughter leaves, who will take care of you? My daughter doesn't want to leave." After saying this, the fat figure jumped on her.

On father's lap.

Cen Wenxing smiled and said, "Dad, you still have your two younger brothers. Don't worry, just relax."

"Hmm. Can the Su family agree?" daughter Cen Yinzhu continued to ask.

Cen Wenxing said confidently: "Don't worry, the Su family will definitely deal with this."

Speaking of which, Cen Wenxing of the Cen family is now eighteen years old, already beyond the age of marriage. Because of his fat figure and ugly face, the Cen family master is very worried. Now if the Su family can agree, not only will he be in the court

The position in the middle is much more stable and one’s own benefits will be indispensable in the future.
