This place is fun

Chapter 73 Invasion
Even sitting in the room at this moment, Su's mother and the other two could vaguely hear the sounds of joy outside.

Inside and outside the castle, no matter if they were members of the Su family, residents from other families, or the housekeepers, maids, servants, guards, and hired workers in the inner house, they were all gathered together to discuss the matter.

Many maids who were familiar with Pingting and the others ran directly to Su Daoshan's yard to ask for gossip and watch the fun. Not only Zhao Xing'er, Pingting and Huamei were surrounded, but even the little maid Chunyuan became a hot commodity.

Just to find out the unknown extraordinary qualities of this second young master of the family.

Taught by Han Gu himself!
In a remote small town like Yishan, it's not much different from being the top scorer in the imperial examination!

In the past, the courtyard had never been so lively. Everyone in the mansion would take a detour when they saw Su Daoshan, as if they were trying to avoid him.

Many of the maids were good friends with Pingting and the others, but because of the Second Young Master, they were often unwilling to go to the courtyard to play with them. They would gossip about Pingting and the others in private and complain about them. They felt that they were in bad luck to follow the Second Young Master.

This second young master is not only stupid, but also a spendthrift.

He redeemed a vixen when he was a teenager. It cost the family a lot of money. Pingting and the others had to live frugally to pay off the debt. But the second young master was still unaware of it. He acted pretentiously all day and made countless jokes outside.

He is neither good at literature nor martial arts, and his personality is so strange. One can imagine what life would be like as his partner.

Isn't the purpose of life to live for hope?

Everyone can see through this nerdy young master at a glance. How can we expect anything from him?

However, what no one had dreamed of was that this nerdy young master, whom even the servants looked down upon behind his back, would rise to prominence overnight and become Han Gu's direct disciple.

Oh my God!

Even the most admired young master Su Daoyu only passed the exam to enter the inner sect of the Mohu Sword Sect. It was not until now that he became the headmaster's direct disciple with his talent and hard work. He is still a long way from being a top sect in Xiazhou like Hangu.

Almost in an instant, everyone's usual sympathy or pity, including the sense of superiority or gloating deep in their hearts, all turned into envy.

"For the past ten years, the old man has been hiding in Luoxia Mountain to practice in seclusion, leaving the family to your eldest brother, and watching it decline before his eyes..."

Mother Su listened to the noise outside and said with emotion, "After all, isn't it just for those people to see? Since our family is carrying that secret, we must not arouse suspicion. If they want us to die, then we have no choice but to lie down and die in front of them..."

Su Xianyi and Mrs. Jiang looked at each other and remained silent.

Mother Su continued, "I am already satisfied that it has been delayed until now. This is the fate of our Su family. At worst, the family will be destroyed. If we delay it for a few more years, there will be a day when the clouds will clear and the fog will dissipate. By then, our Su family will have done its duty to everyone..."

As she spoke, the old lady's face became more and more radiant. She laughed happily and said, "But who would have known that there is a genius hidden in our family. We, the grandparents, and you, the parents, wanted to ruin this family, but we couldn't!"

"Old lady, please stop praising him." Madam Jiang smiled and said, "We don't know whether the boy's spiritual roots are real or not. This unfathomable realm is too terrifying. Maybe Hangu will send him back in a few days..."

"Nonsense..." Su's mother widened her eyes and was about to speak when she heard footsteps.

"The master and the mistress are here." The voice of a magpie came from the yard.

The three of them turned their heads and saw Su Xianwen coming in with a high-spirited look on his face, followed by his joyful wife Qian.

"Ha, Third Brother, you're all here," Su Xianwen laughed. "I just went to the courtyard and didn't find you, so I guessed you were here. How about it, have you discussed with the old lady about when to open the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors? I've already given instructions outside, and the offerings are ready, everyone is waiting."

He talked to himself and patted Su Xianyi's shoulder vigorously: "Good fellow, I didn't expect that you, the third brother, gave birth to a lucky star for our Su family!"

As he said this, before Su Xianyi could speak, he turned to Su's mother and said, "Old lady, didn't you see the expressions of the nine major sects and those families when Xiaoshan entered the magic circle test today? Their eyes were almost falling out..."

"Especially when he heard that Mr. Xie wanted to take Xiaoshan as Han Gu's personal disciple, Wang Zucheng's face was as ugly as spilled dye, with patches of blue and white. He was so jealous that his eyes turned red!"

He said this with great joy, then turned back to Su Xianyi and said mysteriously, "Third brother, guess what Yue Zhongnan talked to me about just now?" Without waiting for Su Xianyi to ask, he laughed, "That old guy actually mentioned that his Yue Zhen and Daoshan were childhood sweethearts. The implication is that their Yue family and our Su family can visit each other more often and get closer..."

Su's mother, Su Xianyi and Mrs. Jiang all looked at each other in surprise.

The Yue family holds a very important position among the aristocratic families in Yishan City. To put it bluntly, the Yue family is the most powerful after the Zhu family. If the Zhou family, the Wang family, and the Mi family had not brought in the Yue family, they would not have been able to establish their own territory.

Unexpectedly, Yue Zhongnan would take the initiative to show goodwill to this extent.

but……

"Tsk!" Mother Su curled her lips and said, "Isn't his daughter promised to the Zhou family? She's with the Zhou family boy every day, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Why, now that the Zhou family is under control, they've set their sights on our Su family?"

"It's just the Zhou family's wishful thinking. The Yue family hasn't agreed." Su Xianwen smiled and looked at Madam Jiang and said, "I remember that my sister-in-law liked Yue Zhen very much. Now there is such an opportunity. How about considering it?"

"When she was little, she was very sweet, and she always wanted to be Daoshan's wife when playing house," Mrs. Jiang shook her head indifferently, "but as she got older, her character became more and more spoiled by the Yue family. Over the years, that girl has been mocking Daoshan a lot. Outside, she is also flattered by the Zhou family, Wang family, and Mi family's children. They fight and make noises all day long, and they don't know how to be cautious at all..."

"Don't mention this matter," Su's mother glared at Su Xianwen, "Don't you know Daoshan's temper as his uncle? Your father just helped him get some help, and this kid dared to run away from home. If you mess around with other people and annoy him, and cause trouble, your father will punish you!"

Su Xianwen looked a little embarrassed when he heard this.

In his opinion, the marriage with the Yue family would definitely be of great benefit to the Su family. Once successful, he, as the acting head of the family, would be very powerful in Yishan City. However, he did not expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, Su's mother and Madam Jiang jointly vetoed it, leaving no room for maneuver.

It's true that women have long hair but short knowledge.

However, Su Xianwen was not going to care too much about the happy event. After being embarrassed for less than a second, he changed his tone and said, "It was Yue Zhongnan who brought it up, so I just came back and said it casually. I didn't intend to agree to it. Besides, how could I not know? Daoshan has entered Hangu, and his status and position are different. Yue Zhongnan wants to marry Yue Zhen here, which is also a sign of marrying up!"

Su's mother and Mrs. Jiang looked at each other. Although they looked reserved, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise.

Normally, Su Daoshan's uncle had such a bad temper. When she saw Su Daoshan, she was even more angry and scolded him at every turn. It seemed that no matter what Su Daoshan did, he was useless in her eyes.

This attitude of people who have refused to accept the honor and still actively defend Su Daoshan is unprecedented.

It seemed that Su Daoshan's entry into Hangu had earned the Su family at least ten years of stability and wealth, which made the uncle very happy. He was so happy that he became more understanding and spoke more pleasantly.

But you can understand it if you think about it.

Although the Su family was a noble family in the past, they were in a difficult situation in Yishan City. He, the acting head of the family, was just a marginal figure among the heads of the noble families. When he was called to discuss things, he was just a decoration.

But now, you don’t have to imagine how majestic he looks when he walks out.

Even the Yue family is so close, one can imagine what ordinary families are like. For Su Xianwen, this is a time to be proud.

Just as the room was bustling, Su Xianwen's housekeeper suddenly walked into the courtyard and reported through the door: "Master, someone from the City Lord's Mansion has come to inform you that an emergency military meeting is being held. Please go quickly."

"Emergency military meeting?" Everyone was stunned.

Su Xianwen stood up suddenly and asked loudly, "What happened?"

"According to reports from the Fiery Army," the butler said anxiously, "a phantom fog has appeared in Wen'an City, West County!"

There was a sudden silence in the room.
