The arrival of Suizhou made Sui father and mother very restrained.

He has sent many people to deliver things to his home over the years, but because of his busy official duties, the number of times he can go home is limited. It is an indisputable fact that the father and mother of Sui prefer their eldest son. Now the eldest son has given birth to children. They are busy playing with their grandchildren, so naturally they ignore the second son.

However, Suizhou is not a child who needs care from others. Since he was eighteen years old, he has left home and joined the Jinyiwei. He has worked step by step from the bottom to now. With his own efforts, he has become the leader of the Jinyiwei. Not only has the status of a foreign relative not added icing on the cake, but it has often become an obstacle to his career.

During the promotion process of Suizhou, the most common voice heard was "This person is supported by His Majesty and Empress Dowager, so he will naturally be promoted quickly." However, he is not a person who likes to complain everywhere. Instead of vain to argue many things, it is better to rely on his strength to prove himself. So he took the lead in the Jinyiwei, and the people who talked about him behind his back were no longer seen.

In fact, people like Suizhou don’t care what others say, and even if they are still gossiping, he is also indifferent.

The Sui family is actually in good condition. Although it is not enough to look at the nobles and nobles in the capital, it is not a problem with food and clothing, and can be called wealthy. The Sui father and the elder brothers in Suizhou are both on duty and can only receive salary without doing anything. In addition, the Sui family also has shops and fields, and they have surplus investment every year. It is more than enough to wear silk and satin.

Of course, when it comes to power, the Sui family is nothing, because no one in the Sui family except Suizhou has ever been an official.

Needless to say, Sui's father, Suizhou's brother Sui An always felt that he looked down on the military position of Jinyiwei, and thought that he was a lackey of the emperor, with a bad reputation, and would be pointed at by others. He wanted to take the imperial examination path, but he was not that material, and wasted half his life, so he achieved nothing in the end.

Although his family is rich, Sui An always sighs, hating that he is born at the wrong time and is not satisfied with his talent. Seeing his younger brother joining the Jinyiwei whom he originally looked down upon, he was promoted all the way. Now he is a commander and even has a title. He feels even more uncomfortable. When it is late at night, he will inevitably complain to the Jiao family in private.

If Jiao was a gentle and virtuous man, she would definitely persuade her husband to calm down and be content and always be happy. But she was also a woman with high hearts. She felt that her husband had the advantage of the eldest son of the house and the eldest son, and she did not even have any children than Suizhou, but she could not move forward in the career of the officialdom. She vented her anger with her husband, and she felt that Suizhou had taken a big advantage, because the Sui family was only in the Jinyiwei, so the emperor and the queen mother must have taken care of her. Now, by mistake, Sui'an's career is not going well, which makes her younger brother more and more proud.

The father and mother of Sui were honest and not easy to talk. Even if the eldest son and daughter-in-law were full of complaints, they could not say anything, so they could only persuade them privately. In addition, they were slightly more inclined toward the eldest son. Occasionally, when Suizhou came, they would ask him to help him pull his brother.

But how can Suizhou be pulled?

Sui An is now in his thirties and does not know how to fight, so he can only serve as a clerk at best. He is definitely not happy. Could it be that Sui An will become an official without going through the imperial examination? Not to mention that Suizhou does not have such ability, and today's son will not have such ability, because he will definitely be scolded to death by civil officials. In the end, he may be included in the biography of the slandered ministers in history books and will not die well. The ending will be given to Li Zisheng, the favorite minister of the late emperor.

In Suizhou's view, Sui An's best way is to do business, but he probably can't let go of this face, so it's useless to say that Suizhou is not close to his brother, and he will not take the initiative to say such an annoying thing. If he speaks out of his mouth and enters Sui An's ears, he will inevitably think that his younger brother is mocking him.

So every time Suizhou goes home, it is actually very boring if he meets his brother and sister-in-law.

They are obviously brothers who are very close to each other, but now they seem to be separated by a gap between them and cannot communicate horizontally and vertically. The brother dislikes his younger brother, and the younger brother has nothing to say to his older brother. The father and mother of Sui were in a dilemma in the middle and did not know how to resolve it. The atmosphere would only become more and more awkward.

It would be better if Tang Fan was present. After all, his status is precious now, and Sui An dared not be rude in front of him. Even if the Tong family is good, the Jiao family will not come out at will. But if Tang Fan is not here and only Suizhou is there, the Jiao family naturally does not need to avoid suspicion.

For example, now.

Suizhou came to deliver things, but it was hard to leave after delivering things. Sui's mother also ordered the servants to pour tea, so he sat down and prepared to drink the tea in his hand and leave.

He could not be relatively speechless while sitting. Sui's mother was still concerned about her son, so she asked about her lifelong affairs and a little blamed Empress Dowager Zhou - now the Empress Dowager - for not looking for women for Suizhou, so that he was still alone after his old age.

Suizhou said lightly: "My good godmother knows that this matter has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager, it is because I am unwilling to get married."

Sui's mother was shocked: "Why is this?"

Before he could answer, Jiao next to him asked, "Can the rumors outside be true?"

Sui's mother was confused: "What rumors?"

Jiao glanced at Suizhou and said meaningfully: "Everyone is rumored that my uncle loves men's sex but not women's sex, so..."

Sui's mother hurriedly asked her son: "Guangchuan, this, what your sister-in-law said is true?"

Suizhou was calm: "Where did the rumors in the world come from? The Jinyiwei was everywhere in the world and had never heard of such rumors. However, the sister-in-law took the money from the Sui family to privately supplement her parents' family. I wonder if my brother knew?"

Feeling the Sui family's eyes fell on him, Jiao blushed and became anxious: "You, what did you say? Don't swear at others. When did I do this?!"

Suizhou said: "There are naturally records in the Beizhen Fushi. The time and location are not allowed to deny it."

Jiao said angrily: "Okay, you have become a high-ranking official, it's amazing. If you don't have to find a job for your brother, you've even been monitoring your own family... Ah! What do you want to do!"

She swallowed the words before he finished, Jiao looked at Suizhou pulling out the knife in horror. The sharp blade flashed with cold light, and was left without the wrapping of the scabbard. The embroidered spring knife that drank countless blood immediately exuded a murderous aura, forcing Jiao to take two steps back. He remembered that her husband was right next to him and hurriedly hid behind the other party, for fear that Suizhou would get angry and kill his sister-in-law.

Sui Zhou glanced at her, his eyes were cold and without any emotion. Jiao was so excited that he couldn't help but grab his husband's sleeves again.

"I shouldn't have been concerned about my brother's family affairs, but my sister-in-law is not good at being honest, but she wants to take care of me and dares to accuse the Jinyiwei of doing things randomly. Is she thinking of going to the imperial prison to go to the prison?"

A sarcastic arc of his mouth curled up, but Jiao looked no different from a life-seeking evil spirit. Although he wanted to talk back, he felt distressed and had to shut up his mouth and dare not speak loudly.

Sui An was also a little afraid of this younger brother, but he always had to make some face in front of his parents and wives, so he frowned and said, "Guangchuan, as the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. How can you talk to your eldest sister-in-law like this?"

Suizhou: "My mother is still giving birth, where does the eldest sister-in-law come from? Isn't the eldest brother afraid that his mother will feel disappointed when he says this?"

In recent years, he has been close to Zhu Zhechi and has been with Tang Fan for a long time and has learned some speaking skills.

Sui An was naturally unable to respond.

When arguing with these people, even if they win, they don’t feel any sense of accomplishment. Seeing that they looked like this, Suizhou felt a little annoyed. When he touched the tea cup, he simply stood up and said goodbye to his parents, and prepared to leave here.

"Guangchuan!" When he walked to the gate, Sui An chased him out and asked him: "You just said that your sister-in-law gave her money to her parents' home, but it's true?"

"Is it true or not? I'll know if my brother goes to ask my sister-in-law. Why ask me?" Sui Zhou left a word and left without looking back.

After leaving the Sui family, he did not rush back, but instead turned to his grandfather's house next door.

Over the years, Mrs. Zhou has grown old and doesn't want to follow her son outside, so she returns to the capital. She is surrounded by maids and grandchildren and has her many grandchildren. She lives a good life, and is not as good as her daughter's family, looking for troubles for herself.

Suizhou was taken to see his grandmother by the Zhou family, and saw that Tang Fan had already sat in the hall and didn't know what he said. The old lady kept laughing, leaning forward and backward, almost burst into tears.

As soon as he saw this scene, his cold and cold body when he came out of the Sui family, all melted softly and even his hand holding the Xiuchun Sword became much more relaxed.
