New widow

"Brother." Su Du looked up and saw Uncle Su, stood up and saluted to greet him. Uncle Su looked at his younger brother and said to him: "Pack your bags and come with me."

"I am still an official here." Su Du knew what Uncle Su meant, but he was still pretending to be confused. Uncle Su sneered: "What a person who is an official here. You have been an official for so many years, but you have caused some trouble!"

"What trouble did I get into?" Su Du asked back. Uncle Su was very angry at his brother's question: "The matter between you and the widow has become known to everyone in the capital. Now, you What else can I say?"

"She is a widow, and I am not married. Why can't we be together?" Su Du's rhetorical question made Uncle Su reach out to slap him in the face: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are shameless, and our Nanyang Marquis Mansion is still shameless." .”

"I like her and want to be with her, why am I so shameless?" Although Su Du knew the answer, there was still pain in his voice. Uncle Su looked at his brother and felt that he almost didn't recognize him. , how can you be so stubborn, how can you ignore it?

"Come here!" Uncle Su shouted loudly, and several boys came in. Uncle Su pointed at Su Du: "Bring the third master into the car, we will leave immediately."

"Who dares?" Su Du was naturally unwilling to leave and stood there motionless. Uncle Su sneered: "Why are you putting on airs now? Do you really think I came without preparation?" Uncle Su said. An official document was thrown in front of Su Du: "You are no longer the general magistrate of this mansion. The officials have ordered you to go to Beijing immediately and you will be appointed elsewhere."

"Do we really have to go to this point?" Although Su Du knew that it was not difficult for the Nanyang Marquis Mansion to achieve this, he still said disappointedly.

"You are just infatuated with that widow now. When you return to the capital and get married, you will know that your family is very good to you." Uncle Su said, reaching out and patting his brother on the shoulder: "You have to know, you have to You know, our whole family puts our hope in you."

Although the Nanyang Marquis Mansion is said to be a noble house, the emperor has not relied on the nobles in recent years. If there are no outstanding children in each mansion, it is not surprising that it will fall.

There was a Su Du in Nanyang Marquis Mansion, and I don't know how many people were envious of him. They all went back to ask their children to study hard, become famous in the imperial examinations, and help the noble family to move up the ladder.

Since Su Du was so highly relied upon by the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, his marriage was naturally a top priority. Marriage with the Zhou family was Nanyang Marquis's first choice, and Su Du was favored by the Zhou family, naturally not because he was a noble son. identity, but because he was a Jinshi in high school. Otherwise, how could the granddaughter of Mr. Ge be willing to marry into the Hou Mansion?

When Su Du heard what Uncle Su said, he couldn't help but sigh: "If that's the case, then why does my marriage have to..."

"Your parents will make the decision for you about your marriage. Don't be stubborn and come with me." Uncle Su said sincerely. Su Du felt bitter in his heart. There were footsteps outside and Zhang Qing left in a hurry. When he came in and saw the two brothers at war with each other, Zhang Qing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What's going on? Brothers should have something to talk about."

"You have something to say?" Uncle Su is usually polite to Zhang Qing, but today he is really not so polite. He said coldly: "You are an official in the same city as him. You naturally know what he has done. Now Why are you pretending to be a good person again?"

"How do you say this?" Zhang Qing asked back. Uncle Su looked at Zhang Qing and sneered: "It's good for a person like you to get this official position. Who knows if you will be jealous and lead him to do it?" Some random things."

This was about venting Zhang Qing's anger, but Su Du had already stopped Uncle Su: "Brother, if you think what I did is wrong, you can tell me, how can you bother others?"

"Am I trying to get someone else?" Uncle Su looked at Su Du coldly: "You guaranteed his appointment in front of the officials when he came here to be promoted to an official position. Otherwise, given his background, he would not have been able to get such an official position."

The one on the left was born and the other was born on the right. Zhang Qing already understood Uncle Su's intention, so Zhang Qing sighed: "It's not an earth-shattering thing for one person to like another person. Besides, this life is lived by two people together. If …”

"Shut up!" Uncle Su was so angry that he was trembling all over. He pointed at Zhang Qing and said: "You are from the market. What do you know? What do you understand? When you marry our family, you are just like you people from the market. You just don't care about anything. Marry into the house?"

"Brother, how can you humiliate a court official like this?" Su Du's words made Uncle Su sneer: "A court official? The court official also has to see what he is like." As he said that, Uncle Su looked at Su Du: "Besides, If it weren't for you, why would he be humiliated by me?"

Su Du didn't know how to answer these words of Uncle Su. The two brothers looked at each other. Su Du looked at Uncle Su and sighed softly: "Since the eldest brother insists on this, then I will, just listen to the eldest brother."

Only then did Uncle Su smile: "That's good, that's great. There's nothing to quarrel between you and me as brothers. I only want to do your best."

Su Du knows what is good for you, that is, study hard, take the imperial examination well, become an official, and shine in the family, and the Nanyang Marquis Mansion will give Su Du endless support. But in order to get this support, Su Du must have lost a lot, and now, the Nanyang Marquis Mansion wants Su Du to give up. The relaxation and comfort he gained in the past year and more while staying away from the capital was nothing but an illusion.

"Pack up the Third Master's luggage." Now that Su Du had given in, Uncle Su began to order the servants to pack their things. The servants were supposed to be going in and out of the room to pack their things. Su Du stood there blankly. , like a dream, finally woke up.

Zhang Qing felt uncomfortable. He stepped forward and patted Su Du on the shoulder. Su Du had already whispered: "Look, I seem to have everything. In fact, as long as my family says a word, I have nothing." ”

"Wait until the future..." Before Zhang Qing could finish his words, Su Du had already said softly: "Without the future, my father-in-law and filial piety will always be on my head."

Su Du will be allowed to breathe a sigh of relief, and Su Du will be allowed to have some freedom. But as long as he does not meet the expectations of the world, these will become a net, and Su Du will be firmly placed in the net, and Su Du will not be allowed to relax. One breath, and this is how everyone in the world comes.

"If I, if I were a dandy, I would not be treated like this as long as I listened to my family." The bitterness in Su Du's words became more and more serious. Zhang Qing didn't even know how to comfort him. What should he say? Still unable to say anything, Zhang Qing patted Su Du on the shoulder.
