Chapter 485: Little beggar, if you want to live in my house, you must listen to me
Su Mingyue was finally happy. Su Xingchen looked up at the gilded "Su Mansion" on the door lintel, took a deep breath and said loudly, "Excuse me, is Su Wancai at home? I have something to talk to him about."
The doorman folded his arms, looking up and down at the ragged brother and sister, and suddenly burst into shrill laughter: "Where did these little beggars come from! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? This is the Su Mansion, one of the most prestigious in Bianjing!"
Su Xingchen was not in a hurry. He brushed off the corner of his clothes and saluted solemnly:
"I am Su Wancai's grandson, and I have come here today to acknowledge my kinship.
Please let the message go out and tell them that Arou's child is here."
"Just last month, someone brought in a piece of jade, saying it was a family heirloom, and now another pair has arrived?"
A doorman shouted, "If you were Master Su's grandson, I'd use my head as your chamber pot right now!"
Thunderous laughter erupted from the porch, and several servants slapped their thighs with laughter.
"That's right! All the wild cats and dogs in Bianjing City want to climb up the high branches of our Su Mansion!
Last month, Wang Er, who was selling pancakes on West Street, insisted that he was the master’s lost illegitimate son…”
Su Xingchen sneered and said, "What I said is true. Please go and inform them."
A doorman pushed him and said, "Get lost! If you want to beg, go beg on the street. Stop daydreaming."
Su Xingchen was pushed to the ground by them, and then he heard Su Mingyue say, "Why are you people so rude and unreasonable?"
"Are we being unreasonable? You are so young and you don't tell the truth. How can you be worthy of being associated with the Su family? Get out of here." Someone took out the stick in his hand.
Just as he was about to make a move, he heard someone shout, "Stop!"
Su Wancai got down from the sedan chair and said:
"What the hell happened? They were just two kids.
If so many of you doormen beat up two children, how would I put my face if this got out?"
"Master, these two kids are pretending to be your grandchildren, so we're planning to kick them out!"
Su Wancai frowned and said:
"Why didn't you notify me when something like this happened? Didn't I tell you?
If something like this happens, you must notify me immediately. What if he really is my grandson?
Where are you from?
Su Xingchen bowed and said, "We came from Yunchuan County?"
Su Wancai frowned and said, "From Yunchuan? How could they come from such a far place? Yunchuan is said to be located in a remote and barbaric place..."
Su Xingchen carefully pulled out a white jade hairpin from her bosom and said, "My mother said you bought this for her as a birthday gift on her tenth birthday. Do you still remember it?"
Su Wancai's hands were shaking violently as he held the white jade hairpin. There was a fine crack on the hairpin, exactly the same as when he bought it.
His eyes instantly turned red, tears fell down in big drops, and his voice trembled:
"Yes, this is what I bought for Arou back then!
I was short of money at that time and it took me a long time to find this hairpin. The crack on it cannot be fake!
You are truly Arou's children!"
Su Xingchen's nose felt sore and his voice trembled:
"Grandpa, my mother was murdered by a bad guy. We fled all the way from Yunchuan. If we hadn't met some kind people who helped us, we wouldn't be alive today.
My mother clutched this hairpin before she died, and with her last breath she asked us to come find you..."
Su Wancai suddenly grabbed the two children's arms and shouted at the housekeeper: "Quick! Bring the young master and the young lady into the mansion! Take good care of them!"
His breathing became rapid, and he turned and stumbled towards the backyard, muttering, "Old woman! Come out quickly! Arou's child is here! Our grandson and granddaughter are here!"
I accidentally kicked the door sill and almost fell.
Su Wancai supported his wife and walked out quickly.
Madam Su's silver hair trembled slightly as she moved. She stared intently at Su Mingyue's delicate face and said, "Old man, these eyebrows and eyes are exactly like A'rou when she was a child!"
"Grandma, Grandpa." Su Mingyue called out timidly. Madam Su hugged Su Mingyue and said, "My sweethearts! I've been waiting for you to come!"
Madam Su turned around and hugged Su Xingchen into her arms, saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back! From now on, the Su family will be your home!"
She raised her head and said, "Housekeeper! Clean up Qingxuezhai and Tingsongge in the east wing. Put down new cotton mattresses and place incense!"
The housekeeper agreed repeatedly, and the Su family had a place in Bian Jing.
In the evening, Su Mingyuan and Su Mingchen also came back. Su Mingyuan laughed and waved his hand, and the two girls immediately came out with trays.
The tray was piled full with twenty gold ingots and fifty silver ingots, which was eye-catching.
"This is a welcome gift from your uncle. Since you are young, I will ask the nanny to keep it for you and assign a few reliable servants to take care of it."
Su Mingchen also said: "Second uncle prepared some new clothes for you, I wonder if they will fit you."
Su Xingchen quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, uncle!"
Su Mingyuan looked at the child and couldn't help but praise him, "At such a young age, you understand the rules and are so steady. Where did you learn these etiquette?"
Su Xingchen's eyes were red as she explained, "My sister and I were rescued. The family of our rescuer has been taking care of us and teaching us how to read and behave."
Su Mingyuan asked, "I wonder which company you are talking about?"
Su Xingchen then said:
"It was the Imperial Censor Bai family. His little granddaughter found us.
The family was very kind, taking us in and teaching us a lot.”
Su Mingyuan nodded and said, "Bai family, we must offer generous gifts when we have the chance. You two must be tired! Go back to the courtyard and rest!"
Su Xingchen and Su Mingyue then returned to their own courtyard. Fortunately, the courtyard they were assigned to was not far away.
As soon as I reached the gate, I heard a little boy come out and say:
"Are you talking about them?
Two beggars both want to live in my house. I don’t know what my grandparents think.”
A chubby little boy was walking towards them from afar, followed by three or four followers who were trotting to serve him.
The child looked to be about seven or eight years old, wrapped in a bright red jacket with gold satin. The pearl tassels on the hem dazzled people when the wind blew.
Around his neck he wore a heavy gold collar, studded with rubies, and on his head sat a small golden crown.
"Hey! Where are you from?" Su Huaiyu walked over and said.
The servant next to Su Xingchen said, "Oh no, oh no! How did we run into this devil? This is the second young master from the eldest young master's family. He's been spoiled since he was a child..."
Su Xingchen looked at him and said, "We are from Yunchuan."
Su Huaiyu asked:
"What place is Yunchuan? I've never heard of it.
Hey! Little beggar, if you want to live in my house, you must listen to me. If you don’t listen to me, I will kick you out.
