Marquis Yongchang still had a gloomy face and remained silent. He felt that he was being treated poorly. It would be fine if the master did not hold a banquet when he returned home after many years, but he only served ten dishes and one soup?

Who are you looking down on?

And look at what these dishes are. Even the cheapest pork and mutton are served.

Even in the cold winter, the fish shipped from the Yellow River to Kyoto for sale would cost less than a hundred coins per pound.

If this gets out, won't my colleagues laugh their heads off? !

The old lady always pretended to be sick from time to time, and she tricked Gu Nanxi into giving her one or two pieces of jewelry. The food was so bland that it had no taste in her mouth. It was so hard to have such a rich meal while Gu Nanxi was not at home, and she couldn't help herself.

"My son, if you feel the food is not rich enough, you can ask the idle man to go to the restaurant outside and book a table."

The old lady gave suggestions, but she didn't take out any money.

Marquis Yongchang winked at the steward beside him, indicating that he should go and order a few tables and the bill would be put on the marquis's account.

The housekeeper was embarrassed: "My Lord, without the matching cards of the Marquis's wife and the young lady, our accounts will not be recognized outside."

Marquis Yongchang's face looked extremely ugly, with red and blue mixed together on his face, as if a paint bottle had been overturned.

A penny can hardly kill a hero!

Since the county magistrate has released me, why doesn't he return my money?

Lu Xiaorou was considerate and gave Yongchang Marquis a way out: "My Lord, it's getting late today, let's just have a meal first, and when my wife comes back tomorrow, we can celebrate properly when our family is reunited."

"Then it will be as you say."

The Marquis of Yongchang and his two companions were locked up in prison for several months. Although they were not starving, it was absolutely impossible to say that the prison food was delicious.

As soon as the meal started, the three of them swept away the meat and vegetables like whirlwind.

Aunt Duan was still chewing slowly with her head down, and when she looked up, there were only some leftovers left on the table.

Aunt Duan was speechless. Didn't she despise these meals? Why did she act like a starving ghost and not even leave a bite of snacks for herself? !

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they waited in the hall for Gu Nanxi to come back.

"Mother, I didn't expect that taking a hot spring bath in the summer is so much fun. It relaxes all the bones in my body. We will go again next time!"

From a distance, one could hear Su Yunyan chirping like a happy little bird.

"Okay, it's a reward from the emperor anyway, you can go whenever you want." Gu Nanxi yawned and was about to walk towards his own yard.

When Marquis Yongchang heard what they were saying, he realized that he had no intention of coming to greet his mother or saying hello to him.

Marquis Yongchang strode out and called out to them.

"Gu Nanxi, is this how you, the Gu family, are brought up? As a daughter-in-law, you don't even ask about your mother-in-law every morning and evening!"

Gu Nanxi turned around, and the pure white moonlight covered her with a layer of light white gauze.

The leaves reflecting the moonlight were like reflectors, adding a layer of beauty filter for her, making her look more like a fairy from heaven, floating like an angel.

Gu Nanxi looked at the Marquis of Yongchang with a serious expression. The last time they met, he was so furious that he didn't look at him carefully and just wanted to whip him to death.

Now looking closely, Marquis Yongchang does not look bad.

His eyebrows are long and clear, and the light in his eyes is like the faint fluorescence on a piece of jade. It looks soft, but is actually extremely tough.

Of course, the premise is that he just stands there and doesn't say anything.

Gu Nanxi curled her lips and looked away.

Since she entered the book, no man dared to show such a fatherly manner in front of her. Even her godfather, Cui Sanlun, did not often mention these doctrines.

As if hurt by Gu Nanxi's reaction, Yongchang Hou jumped up and down: "Gu Nanxi, what's that look in your eyes?! You are like this, and you still want to be favored by me.?! How can you be so gentle and docile?"

There are such shameless people in the world. Today I have finally opened my eyes!

Gu Nanxi took several deep breaths and silently reminded herself that this was the biological father of the three siblings of the Su family, this was their biological father, don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive.

Marquis Yongchang looked at the three indignant siblings again, and like a possessed person, he started talking about them one by one.

"Su Yunyan, you are not young anymore. You are about to get engaged, but you are still showing up in public, dealing with all kinds of people like a merchant girl! Are you obsessed with money? Who will dare to marry you in the future?! Haven't you always been arrogant and fond of wealth? Do you think any noble family would marry a merchant girl?!"

Su Yunyan's face turned serious, and she folded her hands in front of her chest and sneered. She wanted to fight back, but her second brother Su Yunyan pressed her shoulders and dissuaded her.

"Third sister, please be patient and let us listen to how ivory comes out of a dog's mouth."

The wrath of Yongchang Marquis was indeed transferred to Su Yunting: "Su Yunting, you are a sly person. You pretended to be sick in order to avoid going to school and suffering. You have a mouth like a street woman, and you only know how to talk. How can you be a responsible man? Now you are even addicted to farming. Do you want to be a farmer in the future?"

Su Yunting took several deep breaths.

I can no longer bear it. This paper-like relationship between father and son is better off not having it.

Unexpectedly, the first to refute was the eldest brother Su Xuanming: "My Lord, the third sister does not need to marry to gain wealth and honor, she is a wealthy family herself! And the second brother, he worshipped Master Geng as his teacher, and he was not afraid of the severe cold or heat, and practiced the three-time nine ...

"Marquis?! You don't even call me daddy!" Marquis Yongchang pointed at Su Xuanming's nose and scolded.

"As the eldest son of the Marquisate, I held you on my lap and taught you carefully when you were born. Although you were stupid at that time, you were kind and filial to your grandmother. Although you were not capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Marquisate, you could be considered a modest young master."

Yongchang Hou shook his head in disappointment, with a look of regret on his face: "In the end, you just listened to one side and believed it. Look at what you have become now! You are unfilial to your grandmother and disrespectful to your father. How can you be worthy of praise?"

"Especially since you have been in Songshan Academy for so long, you haven't even passed the examination for a Tongsheng! With your grades, you still have the nerve to run Baichuan Academy?! Aren't you afraid that the students in the academy will laugh at you!"

Heartbroken, old iron!

Academic studies have always been a thorn in Su Xuanming's heart. Seeing his younger brothers and sisters going further and further on their own paths while he himself is standing still, how could Su Xuanming not be anxious?

Now, Marquis Yongchang used this matter to poke at his feelings in front of everyone. No matter how good-tempered Su Xuanming was, he couldn't help but refute.

"What about you, Lord? You have been guarding the border for more than ten years. Have you driven the northern enemies into the desert?!"

Oh hoo.

This is even more heartbreaking!

It was God of War Gu who almost drove the northern enemies into the desert last time.

Unfortunately, God of War Gu died, and his deputy general fought with the enemies in the north on the grassland for many years. Finally, Marquis Yongchang took over. As a result, not only did he lose a large area of ​​grassland in the north, but he also almost failed to defend the border.
