Chapter 473 Warmth
The father and son chatted in the bedroom for a long time. It was not until Su Yong came in to change the candles that Su Chen and Su Congfang realized that it was getting dark.
"The dinner is ready, just waiting for you to come over and start the dinner." Ever since Su Chen asked him not to call him "Your Majesty" during the day, his tone of voice became much more natural.
Then he added: "My father has difficulty moving, and the doctor has told him that he can only eat light food. The kitchen has prepared something else."
"Third brother, go ahead."< br>
Su Congfang was tired at this time, and waved to Su Chen: "I'm tired after a long journey, so hurry up and have a meal."
Here, Su Chen glanced at the door, where a young boy named Xiaotang was holding a cup. A bowl of vegetarian porridge, plus a piece of steamed bun and a small plate of vegetables.
"Dad, do you want to eat this tonight?"
"That's it, even my father doesn't want to eat it." Su Congfang laughed: "I would like to eat a lot of fish and meat, but the doctor won't allow it."
“It’s better to listen to the doctor.”
Su Chen went over to bring the food in, placed the tray on the bed, handed the bowls and chopsticks to his father, watched him eat for a while, then stood up and left the bedroom.
I want to take the old couple to Yanjing, but after all, they are not familiar with it. Although the imperial city and palace are big, it is still not as good as Ding'an City. They can go wherever they want, and there are not so many rules to follow.
Also... when the world becomes more stable, a lower limit will be set on the age for marriage. If a girl aged thirteen or fourteen gets married, once she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child, the rate of dystocia will be extremely high.
Although it is a bit strange for people in this world, and you may even think that the emperor's control is a bit lenient, but in order to improve the population in the future, it does not matter if you have some infamy.
When we arrived at the main hall on the side of the atrium, the whole family and more than 200 people occupied the main room and the courtyard. When they saw Su Chen coming, they all came forward with smiles to pay their respects and stood at the end. The ones in front are all the younger generation in the family who are talented and capable. The purpose of this is to let the son of the family show up in front of Su Chen and become familiar with him. Who knows that he will be successful in the future?
Families without sons would push their unmarried daughters to the front. Regardless of the world, as long as they are not direct relatives, it is more or less the habit to marry.
After all, it’s been a long time since I came back. When I come back next time, I don’t know how long it’s been since I came back.
It is especially common among cousins.
Relatives of the Su family contributed a lot during Su Chen's uprising, to conquering the Yan Kingdom and conquering the Central Plains. After he ascended the throne, few people came out to express his gratitude to him. Asking for favors, and no one goes around pretending to be a royal relative.
Seeing this scene, Su Chen suddenly had an idea in his mind. After returning home, he would ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to formulate a rule that would not allow relatives within three generations to get married.
But considering that the customs of this world are not easy to change, many people will definitely not agree if the lower limit is set higher.
‘If the lower limit is stuck at sixteen, the rate of dystocia should not be that high. '
Muttering something in his heart, Su Chen walked through the corner under the eaves and came to the outside of the hall. The relatives of the Su family bowed down and raised their hands, "There is no emperor status tonight. Only the Su family. All of you are either my uncles, aunts or brothers. Come on, get up. When I was in Yanjing, people would kneel wherever I went. Although this was all etiquette, they didn’t bother me. I’m tired of seeing it too.”
This made Su Chen very happy. Unlike some novels and movies in later generations, all the relatives in the family are like enemies, wishing you had a bad life, and also wishing you had a bad life. You give them all the benefits.
It can even be said that many people in the Su family, and even most of the descendants, live in Ding'an. Even people like Su Ting have not left Ding'an.
But the fact is that there are capable people among the relatives and people with long-term vision. Knowing that Su Chen has become the emperor, the clan must keep a low profile and not cause trouble to Su Chen, which is the greatest help.
This is why Su Chen takes good care of the relatives of the Su family. Not everyone is granted a title, but every family can live comfortably and enjoy themselves without worrying about food, rice, oil and salt. As a royal relative, you will be respected wherever you go.
After the banquet, Su Chen reserved the main seat and sat next to his mother. He invited Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Wu Zixun, and Zheng He to sit down and eat together. Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Wu Zixun are all familiar faces in the Su family. Everyone knows each other and greets them warmly no matter where they sit at the table. Zheng He has only been here once, so everyone has not yet become familiar with each other. Plus, he is an eunuch. Due to his identity, he seemed polite when talking to him.
Zheng He was already used to this, but he was tactful and his tone was pleasant, and he quickly became mingled with the relatives of the Su family who were sitting at the same table.
Here, Su Chen first picked up some food for his mother, and after telling his son Su Chen the rules of eating, he picked up the first glass of wine and toasted his eldest brother Su Yong.
"Brother, I am often away from home. Everything is well at home and Ding'an city is safe and sound, all thanks to your support. I know this in the palace too!"
"This is the crown prince! Needless to say, the third brother is so good at his duty!”
Su Yong had a scar on his face, which made him afraid to go out easily when he returned to Ding’an, but his wife Yin Suhuan never left him, and he After constant consolation and the vigilance of Su Congfang and Xiao Wei, he finally regained his composure, took over the responsibilities of the marquis from his father, and began to manage Ding'an City together with the prefect Sun Shuwu.
After drinking a glass of wine, Su Chen asked the servant to fill the glass with wine. He looked at his second brother Su Lie and raised the glass at the same time.
"We, the Su family, are royal relatives, but no one is going out to cause trouble for me. I advise Second Brother Lai to stay calm. I dedicate this glass of wine to you!"
"Old Third, what you said is that I am helping you. Who doesn't want to have a good home? "
Su Lie chuckled, holding the wine glass with one hand, and drank all the wine in one gulp, exposing the bottom of the glass.
Like Su Yong, he had a broken arm, but after surviving these years, he no longer cared so much about his arm. In addition, he regained his martial arts skills, and I heard that he even developed his own unique skills. Arm martial arts, no one knows whether it is true or false.
But it is true that he controls the relatives of the Su family. Su Yong takes over everything of the Marquis, and Su Lie manages the people of the Su family. This is Xiao Wei's repeated instructions.
"Sister-in-law!"
Su Chen raised the third glass of wine. The beautiful and dignified woman sitting next to Su Yong quickly raised her glass and stood up. She was a little surprised why her uncle would respect her. Without thinking about it, Su Chen Already spoken.
"With this glass of wine, I wish my sister-in-law to run the Su Mansion, take care of my parents, and support my eldest brother!"
"This...this is my sister-in-law's duty." Yin Suhuan raised his sleeves Covering your mouth and nose, you took a careful sip of your drink.
Here, Hua Hongzhen couldn’t wait to hold the wine glass. Su Chen didn’t want to toast her at first, but the other party had already picked up the wine and couldn’t brush her face, so he asked the servant to continue filling the wine glass. Respect the past.
"Second sister-in-law, I would like to express my gratitude to you for this glass of wine. My second brother is inconvenient, thank you for taking care of me!" This time, he was not as flattering as before. He drank the drink carefully and sat back next to Su Lie contentedly.
In fact, what is the other party thinking? How could Su Chen, a man like Su Chen, not understand? But now that he is married and has a concubine, he dare not say that they are all beautiful, but they are also one of a million. .
Jing Fang Xuejun’s senior sister Li Wangqiu’s bonus is really unmatched.
This can be regarded as a complete end to the second sister-in-law’s thoughts.
Seeing the second sister-in-law and the second brother talking and laughing, Su Chen finally felt calm. Seeing the whole family enjoying themselves, not to mention how comfortable he felt. This was a warmth that the palace could not provide.
