There are only three branches of the Huaining Su family living in the old house, in addition to the third uncle's family, there are also the second uncle and the fourth uncle's family. Google search reading

For example, the third uncle gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Su Zhao, the second son Su Shan, the eldest master Su Zhao has three sons and one daughter, Su Deng is the eldest, and there are younger brothers Su Lu and Su Li, Su Li is a concubine.

The second master Su Shan has three sons and two daughters, Su Yan, Su Duo, Su Jian and Su Xihua, Su Zhizhen, among which Su Jian and Su Zhizhen are concubines.

Only the third uncle's family has more than a dozen people. Although the welcoming banquet in the evening was prepared in a hurry, it was still very solemn, and the recognition of relatives was also very smooth.

Everyone is really curious about Su Xinyi. After all, in addition to the Duke of Qi, the most respected person in their old Su family is the fourth master Su Chun.

Only the family in Beijing would be called Su Da Ye, Su Er Ye, Su San Ye, and Su Si Ye. People from other families were called by a name to distinguish which family they belonged to.

There were too many members of the Su family to have a unified ranking. They would have to be ranked in dozens of numbers. How could they be called?

So, for example, Su Zhao from the family of the third uncle would be called Zhao Da Lao Ye, and others like Su Deng would be called Deng Da Gong Zi and Deng Da Shao Ye. In this way, they could be clearly distinguished.

When Su Xinyi heard this, she always felt like she was hearing a lecher...

No, no, why did her thoughts always slip and she was running more and more towards the path of a bad guy.

Su Deng always felt that the look in the eyes of this sixth sister when she looked at him was a little unusual. She was sure that she smiled when she heard his name, and it was still a not-so-good smile.

Because it was too late, she didn't plan to alarm the family of the second master Shan, but Mrs. Zhou Er got the news and quickly told her husband, and the second master Shan came with his family.

Su Xinyi also met Su Xihua and Su Zhizhen. The fourth lady and Su Qi were busy greeting the people in the clan. There were also gifts brought from the capital to the families. Since the second master Shan and his family came, the fourth lady had to take out the gifts from the second family.

On this side, Su Xinyi, Yun Jie'er and even Su Baiwei received gifts. Su Baiwei was embarrassed. She had been married and divorced, so how could she accept them.

But the third aunt smiled and said, "Why can't you accept them? Even if you are divorced, so what? If you return home after the divorce, you will be a girl from our Su family again. Take it."

Su Baiwei's eyes were red, and she smiled and took it. Su Xinyi could clearly see that the eldest sister was really relaxed at this moment.

It can be seen that she was still very worried about how the clan members would look at her when she returned to her hometown. I am afraid she was worried about this all the way.

Madam Li and Madam Zhou Er, the sisters-in-law, looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. The two naturally took out the children's gifts.

Su Xinyi received a lot of gifts in one night. Her mood was quite complicated. In her previous life, she married early and did not return to Huaining. She had no knowledge of the people in her hometown of Huaining, but now seeing these clansmen, she could not help but think of what the old man said.

When her father went to war, he also took a lot of people from the Su family. Some of these people came back, and some did not.

What is a family?

Su Xinyi suddenly had a new understanding at this moment, and she understood the meaningful look of the old man when she returned to Huaining.

Some words don't need to be said, you have to see with your eyes and understand with your heart.

Su Qi and Su Deng brothers have known each other for a long time. Now they are happy to meet again. The fourth lady also followed her husband back to the clan in the early years. She is familiar with Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou Er. After a welcoming banquet, even Su Xinyi felt very comfortable.

The old house has always kept a yard for the eldest house in the capital. This time when they come back, they clean it up and move in directly.

Having your own house here doesn't feel like visiting someone else's house, it's like returning to your own home, and this feeling is great.

Su Xinyi lay on the soft brocade quilt, and could smell the faint floral scent left after fumigating the quilt, which was really comfortable.

Have a good dream!

The next day, they got busy. First, the third uncle invited the people from the old house to open the ancestral hall, worship the ancestors, and recorded Su Xinyi's name under Su Chun's name.

But when it came to recording whether it was a legitimate or illegitimate child, Mrs. Su said, "Third uncle, record it under my name. Xinyi's biological mother has passed away, and I treat this child as my own."

If it is recorded under the name of Mrs. Si, it means it is a legitimate child.

Su Xinyi was not surprised, because it was the same in her previous life.

Female relatives could not enter the ancestral hall, so Su Xinyi and others waited outside. After the third uncle and others came out, everyone returned to the third room to sit down, and today was considered a formal banquet.

Su Xinyi and the fourth lady went through a circle of people, dozens of people, and by the end her eyes were black. She couldn't remember which branch the person was from, whether it was a brother or a younger brother, a sister or a younger sister, an aunt or an aunt.

Su Mengyu looked very happy. There were nearly 20 people in their third branch alone, not to mention the other two branches, and there were even more people from other bloodlines that were slightly more distant. It would be strange if she could remember them immediately.

The second uncle of the second branch had passed away, and the second aunt had been bedridden for many years and was weak, so she didn't come out to see people. The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt of the fourth branch also looked kind. Besides, Su Xinyi and her friends came from the capital and were from the eldest branch of the Su family. The glory of the Su family was basically carried by their branch, so there would be no one who was blind to embarrass her in the old house.

Everyone was happy at the meal.

After the family recognition banquet, Su Xinyi recovered after a day of rest. She took the name list and memorized it again.

She couldn't remember it at that time because there were too many people and the information was too complicated. Now she remembered it again to avoid being embarrassed if she couldn't remember how to address someone.

Fortunately, her brain worked well and she was almost there after a few times.

She looked at the name list and thought that the Su family was really prosperous. She remembered what she asked her mother last night, why there was no difference between legitimate and illegitimate children in the Su family?

Her mother said that because the Su family started with military merits, there were countless sons and daughters in the family who went to the battlefield. For example, his father took dozens of people from the family to the border, and less than one-tenth came back.

Therefore, every child of the Su family is very important.

Su Xinyi remembered the melancholy when her mother said this, and the slight regret in her words, she understood.

Because in her last life, her mother had held her hand and said before she died that the thing she regretted most in this life was that she had not been able to get pregnant. Because of their deep love, they could not persuade their father to take a concubine to continue the family line, so that there was no successor in the fourth room.

She also knew that the people in the Su family had some resentment and dissatisfaction with her, and she herself regretted it, but...

But who could have thought that the border would be in chaos, and who could have thought that her father would lead troops to fight and never come back?

Su Xinyi knew that her mother was treating her well now, in large part because of her own regret and guilt towards her father, so when she appeared, for her mother's life, as she said herself, it was a redemption for her.

Su Xinyi could not agree, but her mother thought so and did so. She did her best to treat her well and take care of her because she was her father's only child.

Su Xinyi sat in front of the window and thought about these old things, and her thoughts became a little complicated and depressed.

Knowing that she had started over in this life, she would not go down the old path of her last life, but she still felt the heaviness and pressure of life.

Her father was too glorious. She, the only daughter, had embarrassed him in her last life. In this life, she wanted others to say that a tiger father has a dog daughter when they mentioned the daughter of the Fourth Master Su.

Su Xinyi rubbed her face hard. This burden was a bit heavy. She didn't know if she could carry it.

But how could she know if it would work if she didn't try?

Anyway, she had taken the other road in her last life and failed.

Let's run for the other road in this life.

Su Mengyu asked Su Xinyi to go shopping. Su Baiwei didn't go out with them because she had to take care of the children.

Su Xinyi followed Su Mengyu out of the door. Unexpectedly, she met the three brothers Su Deng, Su Lu and Su Li who had just returned at the gate. The three of them stood in a row at the door, blocking the road.

"Are you going out shopping?" Su Deng asked with a smile.

Su Xinyi greeted several people and nodded, saying, "Sister Mengyu, take me out to see the scenery of Huaining."

Su Deng hesitated, looked at Su Li and said, "Third brother, you come with me." After that, he looked at Su Xinyi and Su Mengyu, "It's just right that you can buy some things and someone will help you carry them."

Su Xinyi smiled. Since they all have followers, why does she need Su Li to follow them?

Zhan Qiao didn't come this time, but Cao Qing did. Su Xinyi was busy with the family tree and recognizing relatives these two days, so she asked Cao Qing to take Mu Xing to get familiar with each other, and then let Mu Xing take Cao Qing to recognize the way. The two of them helped each other and strived to live in harmony as soon as possible.

They were going to go to the street today, and the two were waiting outside the mansion.

When Su Li saw Su Xinyi smiling, he said, "Sixth sister, are you worried that I can't lift it? Don't worry, I have plenty of strength., Just in time, we won't be back at noon, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Su Xinyi smiled and agreed, "Thank you, brother Li, I'm so lucky today."

Su Xinyi had never been to Huaining before, and she couldn't understand the people here who spoke faster. In the past few days, she followed Su Mengyu to learn the local dialect, and the girls here spoke very gently. Anyway, if her fifth sister came, she would definitely be happy.

Su Deng and Su Lu still had things to do, so they said a few words and then separated.

Su Li accompanied the two sisters out. Su Mengyu was lively and Su Xinyi was easy to get along with. Su Li thought it was a good job to take them out to play.

But before they got in the car, Su Qi got the message and chased out.

Su Qi panted, "Wait for me, I'll go too."

Can he not go?

As soon as the sixth sister went out, he was very nervous. It was better to follow her, otherwise it would be fatal to wait in the mansion.

The four of them sat in a big carriage, followed by the guards of the mansion, and went out in a mighty manner.

Su Mengyu looked at Su Xinyi in the carriage and asked, "Sixth sister, where do you want to go?"

Su Xinyi was not very interested in shopping, and mainly came out to get to know the road. Hearing Su Mengyu's question, she said, "I don't care, anywhere is fine."

Su Mengyu thought so too. Xinyi was not familiar with this place, so she immediately said, "Let's go to the Treasure House first, and then to the Silk Shop. However, the whole street is full of delicious food and fun."

Su Li and Su Qi had no objection. Anyway, their mission today was to play with her.

The carriage turned right not long after it went forward, and then a high gate could be seen from a distance. People came and went behind the gate, and the noise came from afar. Looking around, there were red buildings and painted pavilions, embroidered curtains, and ornately carved carriages parked on the street. The sounds of flutes and pipes and strings drifted out from teahouses and restaurants.

Even though Su Xinyi was not interested in these, she was in a happy mood at this moment.

They abandoned the car and walked slowly among the crowd. The street vendors were in high spirits. Su Xinyi smelled the strong aroma of hemp curd, chicken skin sesame drink, fine powder vegetarian pickles, sugared mung bean licorice ice and snow cold water, and lychee. Paste, plum ginger, candies... there are so many things that it’s almost overwhelming.

Su Xinyi was amazed that the markets in Huaining seemed to have more freedom and variety than those in the capital. She casually asked about the price. A large portion only costs fifteen cents, and there are also cheaper ones of seven or eight cents, which the common people can afford.

Su Xinyi said to her second brother: "It's cheaper than the capital."

Su Qi nodded, "The emperor's shoes are naturally more expensive."

After saying this, Su Mengyu had asked Su Li to buy some food over there. Su Li was holding seven or eight paper bags in his hands, looked at Su Xinyi and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, pick whatever you want."

Seeing Su Li like this, Su Xinyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Third Brother Li." After saying that, he picked a plum ginger and ate it slowly, looking at the shops selling jewelry, cloth, spices, medicines and other items on both sides. There was a steady stream of people, and business seemed to be very good.

Su Qi looked on and said: "This is indeed the most prosperous place in Huaining, just like I remember. I remember there used to be a shop selling calligraphy, paintings and treasures on the corner, but why is it gone now?"

Su Li said: "The son of that family failed to live up to expectations and lost all his wealth on the gambling table. His father sold the shop in order to redeem his life from the gambling house."

"That's a pity. You can find good things in their shop." Su Qi sighed.

Su Mengyu took Su Xinyi into the clothing store, picked and selected a set of peach pink shirts and skirts, and also chose the same one for Su Xinyi. The two of them changed their clothes and even combed their hair in the same bun. , and stopped in front of Su Li and Su Qi. They were so shocked that they didn't speak for a long time.

Su Mengyu asked proudly: "How is it?"

Su Li immediately praised: "It looks good. When the two sisters put it on, they look like Chang'e descending to earth in the middle of the moon."

The corners of Su Xinyi's mouth twitched. Don't think that she didn't see Su Li's slightly horrified look before. Looking at Su Qi's face holding back a smile, she took a deep breath.

She is really not suitable for such pink and tender clothes, but Su Mengyu is in high spirits, and she cannot let her down.

Just wear it, it's only today anyway.

As long as she didn't find a mirror to look at herself, she would pretend nothing happened.

We walked around a lot, bought countless things, and had lunch at a place called Niu Er Restaurant.

Stepping into the colorful silk-decorated building door, you will see an extremely wide main corridor, with more than a hundred steps. Next to the corridors on both sides of the north and south patios are small rooms. The windows of the rooms are open and filled with guests.

"At night, the lanterns and candles here will be bright and shining, and there will be singers and singers to add to the fun." Su Li said to Su Xinyi with a smile, "If Sixth Sister is interested, I will come to you some other time. Bring you here.”

Su Xinyi nodded, and then asked: "Brother Li, is there no curfew here?"

"Yes, but this street does not have a curfew until midnight, and there will be police patrols after dark, so it is very safe." Su Li said.

Su Xinyi looked at Su Qi and said, "Second brother, this is really different from the capital. It seems more comfortable here."

Su Qi nodded, "Huaining is located in the hinterland of Southern Qi and is a place with prosperous waterways, so it is naturally more lively."

Su Xinyi was in this gentle and wealthy town, looking at the happy smiles on everyone's faces in this restaurant. Such a prosperous age was really longing for people.

The dishes in the restaurant are also very different from those in the capital. Lotus duck pickles, stone belly soup, hand-washed crabs, lychee kidneys, sheep heads with silky juice, and steamed goose and duck steaks fill a large table.

The four of them were chatting and laughing, listening to Su Li talk about Huaining's customs and customs. Su Xinyi calmly took the entire location of Huaining city and had a very satisfying meal.

When it was time to eat, she suddenly heard a burst of noise outside. Su Xinyi was sitting by Xiaohezi's window. She turned sideways and looked outside, and saw a child from an unknown family walking toward the attic along the restaurant. Climbing up, the child was full of joy and did not know that he was in danger.

But the people eating in the restaurant were so frightened that they kept screaming. Then they heard a woman scream, her face turned pale, she covered her mouth tightly and did not dare to scream, for fear of being frightened, she was climbing up. The child and the frightened woman almost fell down on the spot.

"Don't shock the child."

"Yes, call his name slowly and ask him to come down the way he came."

"Why is this child so naughty that he can climb up to such a high place?"

The crowd was talking incessantly, and everyone was staring closely at that little figure. Five or six-year-old children, when they are being naughty and mischievous, don't understand what danger is at all.

Everyone in Su Li saw it, and their expressions changed slightly. If the child slipped and fell from the top, his life might not be saved.

Su Li immediately said: "I'll go take a look and find a way to get the child."

After Su Li finished speaking, he walked out, called the guard next door, and tried to climb up the inner wall to save the person.

At this moment, the child suddenly turned his head and looked down. It didn't matter. He was so frightened that he burst into tears. At such a high place, even an adult would be dizzy if he stood on it, let alone a child.

"Cheng'er, squat down and don't move." The child's mother screamed loudly.

Hearing his mother's shout, the child named Cheng'er squatted subconsciously, his body swaying, and the people downstairs screamed in fear.

Su Mengyu looked at the crying child with a pale face, "How can you take care of the child? Let him take a chance to climb to such a dangerous place, Sixth sister, don't you think so?"

Not hearing a response, Su Mengyu couldn't help but turn her head, only to see that there was no one beside her.

She immediately ran out with her skirt lifted. When she looked up, she saw Su Li and his guards climbing up from the other side, quietly approaching the place where the child squatted in the attic.

The child was smart. The place where he squatted was just a small platform that extended out of the attic. As long as he didn't move around, there would be no big problem.

But children are not as mature and rational as adults. In such a dangerous situation, Su Li could only speed up.

At this moment, the child suddenly stood up again, crying loudly for his mother, and took a step out. Seeing that he would step into the air if he took another step, everyone was scared and their faces turned pale.

The child's mother shouted, "Cheng'er, don't move, squat down, squat down!"

"Mom, I want to find mom..." Cheng'er cried even harder, thinking that his mother didn't want him anymore.

Su Li was already close, and he rushed towards Cheng'er at a high speed. But in just a moment, Cheng'er took another step, and the child instantly stepped into the air.

Everyone screamed continuously, Su Xinyi's face turned black, and she took two steps to help herself back and forth between the eaves and the columns, and climbed lightly onto the almost vertical roof.

Everyone was shocked by this scene, and only saw a pink figure jumping back and forth, like a dancing butterfly. The moment she flew onto the roof, she just happened to catch Cheng'er who fell from the attic.

Su Xinyi staggered under the impact, but fortunately Su Li grabbed her arm in time, "Sixth sister, are you okay?"

"Thank you, Third Brother Li, I'm fine." Su Xinyi hugged the child tightly, and with the help of Su Li's grip, she stood firm. She jumped lightly with the child in her arms and landed safely on the ground.

At this moment, the child's mother staggered over, shouting loudly, "Cheng'er..."

In an instant, Su Xinyi suddenly heard Mu Xing's voice, "Sixth Miss, get out of the way!"

Su Xinyi subconsciously turned sideways and saw a sharp knife light grazing her arm. It was the child's mother who stabbed her.

The incident came too suddenly, and no one knew what happened. Su Xinyi reacted very quickly and grabbed the wooden stick for holding lanterns under the eaves and hit the woman's wrist.

The woman who looked at the child with gentle eyes before suddenly became ferocious, retracted her wrist, and instantly raised her foot to kick the child in her arms.

Su Xinyi immediately blocked her attack with a stick, and then quickly retreated. Fortunately, Mu Xing and Su Qi came over at this time, and Su Li also jumped down from the eaves and kicked the woman.

With help, Su Xinyi got this moment of buffering, and immediately stuffed the child to Su Mengyu who just ran over, and turned around to chase the woman again.

Su Xinyi heard the woman screaming: "Mu Xing, you ungrateful villain, you forgot the master's life-saving grace to you, and you dared to betray him!"

Su Xinyi's heart trembled. When Mu Xing reminded her before, she felt that Mu Xing should know this person, and now it sounded true.

It's Ma Rude's people again!

Su Xinyi immediately said, "Brother Li San, leave him alive!"

Su Li listened to what Su Xinyi said and said, "Okay."

The dagger in the woman's hand was very sharp. Su Li was at a disadvantage fighting her barehanded. Mu Xing stepped forward to fight with her and said, "Jiang Sanniang, you didn't even let the child go. Your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"
