"What? Who said it was sent by you?" Su Ma asked in disbelief, holding the deed in her hand.

"General Xiao sent Wu Wei to deliver it." Dad Su answered Mom Su again.

It turned out that yesterday, Su's father went out of the city with the broker to see the farm, and when he returned to the city, he happened to meet Xiao Yi at the city gate.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Yi learned what Su's father was busy with. Today, he sent Wu Wei to deliver the deed to a farm outside the city, and it had even been transferred to the Su family's name.

After Wu Wei delivered the box, he left a message saying, "This is a gift from the general to Mr. Su," and then left. Mr. Su didn't even have the time to open the box to see what was inside.

When Su's father opened it, he realized it was the deed to a farm. It said "Zhuangzi" on it. When Su's father was looking at farms with the broker outside the city, he heard the broker introduce it as one of the few good farms. It was a pity that it already had an owner, otherwise it would have met the Su family's requirements perfectly.

"We can't take this. Please send someone to return it." After understanding the situation clearly, Su Ma immediately knew that this farm could not be taken over.

"Dad, please send it back in person." Su Weixi also felt that he could not accept this farm.

"Well, I'll send it back tomorrow. Our family can't accept it." Father Su said, putting the deed back into the box.

He then ordered the butler to deliver a note to the general's mansion.

Why send a letter to the General's Mansion? Because although Xiao Yi came from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he himself had military merits, and the emperor had rewarded him with a General's Mansion before.

Interestingly, this house is not in the capital, but in a border town.

Therefore, Xiao Yi did not live with the Duke of Zhenguo in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion in the border town, but lived in his own general's mansion.

After all, if the emperor has given you a reward and you don't go to live there, wouldn't that be a disrespect for the emperor's grace?

At dinner time, the butler came to report.

"Master, the servant at the General's Mansion said that the young general will not be at the mansion tomorrow, so he asked you to go to the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo to look for him tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand, please step back."

"Master, there is one more thing. What gift should I bring when I visit you tomorrow?" asked Butler Sun.

"Don't worry about this, Madam will prepare it."

"Okay, I'll take my leave now." After saying this, Butler Sun went back to the front yard.

Butler Sun was the family of five bought that day. Oh, no, including his little granddaughter, there were six in total.

Now he is the housekeeper of the Su family. His wife, Mrs. Sun, and another nanny work as housekeepers beside Su Ma.

His son Sun Zhi worked as an accountant, and his daughter-in-law Li Xiu worked as an embroiderer in the mansion.

His two little daughters, Lianhua and Hehua, were now assigned to work in the kitchen to help Qiao'er's mother, Cook Wang.

His little granddaughter Hongdou is still recovering from illness, and when she recovers, she will be arranged to be Ningning's personal maid.

Hongdou and Ningning are of similar age, and are actually just playmates.

The whole family was very grateful to the Su family because they bought red beans that day.

The work I am doing now is all the work I did for my previous master, so I got the hang of it quickly and am very dedicated.

As for Su Weixi's personal maid, in addition to Qiao'er who has always stayed in the Su family, there is another maid who was bought that day, whose original name was Zhaodi.

After arriving at the Su family, she begged Su Weixi to change her name, and Su Weixi changed her name to Shaoyao.

The next morning, Su's father took the title deed of the farm and the gifts prepared by Su's mother and went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

The Duke of Zhenguo loves wine very much, so the gifts he prepared naturally include white wine taken out from the space.

What Su Ma and Su Weixi didn't expect was that Su Dad was fine when he left, but was drunk when he came back.

And the title deed that was originally to be returned was brought back.

But Su's father was so drunk that the mother and daughter could only let him rest first and ask him about the situation in detail the next day.

When Su's father woke up the next day, the rest of the Su family was already having lunch.

"Dad, you're finally awake." As Ningning saw Dad Su step into the dining room, she rushed to him excitedly.

Dad Su hugged his little girl into his arms and sat down in his seat.

After everyone finished lunch, Su Ma asked Ma Zeng to take An An and Ning Ning back, and asked everyone else to leave.

In the entire living room, only Su's father, Su's mother and Su Weixi were left.

"Dad, why did you bring the title deed of the farm back yesterday? And you were so drunk?" Su Weixi looked at Su Ma who was holding back her anger and spoke first.

He also gave Su's father a look that said, "Confess and I'll give you leniency, and wish you good luck."

Father Su looked at Mother Su who was silent beside him and said with a guilty conscience: "The Duke of Zhenguo and several of his lieutenants were there yesterday. We were chatting happily, so we drank a little more. The alcohol content of our wine is too high, so we got drunk."

"My mother was very worried about you yesterday. Don't drink so much next time. Right, Mom?" Su Weixi said and looked at Su's mother.

"Hmph, who's worried about him? If you like to drink, drink more. It would be best if you become an alcoholic." Su Ma was still angry, so she spoke bluntly.

"Hehe, wife, I was wrong. I won't drink so much next time." Dad Su quickly admitted his mistake to prevent the fire from getting bigger.

"Yes, Mom, my dad must have known he was wrong. Dad, can you tell me what happened to the land deed? Why did you bring it back?" Su Weixi helped his father change the subject.

Dad Su looked at Mom Su, as if he wanted to wait for Mom Su to calm down before saying anything.

"Okay, tell me what happened. I'll settle the matter with you about getting drunk later." Su's mother spoke, and Su's father naturally explained the whole story quickly in a coquettish manner.

It turned out that when Father Su arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion yesterday, he discovered that not only Xiao Yi and the Duke of Zhenguo were there, but also other deputy generals in the military camp.

When Su's father helped to watch the production of the bed crossbow, he had met several generals. He learned from the Duke of Zhenguo that Su's father also had martial arts skills, and his martial arts skills were not low, so he wanted to learn a few moves.

So Dad Su took turns fighting with them. With the guidance of Shitou and Xiao Yi before, and with the help of diligent practice in recent years and the help of spiritual spring water, Dad Su was able to fight many deputy generals to a draw.

The generals didn't have too many complicated thoughts, and after a few competitions, they started to treat each other as brothers.

When discussing some military strategies at the dinner table, Father Su could also tell the stories in detail and even came up with many novel ideas.

Several generals suggested to the Duke of Zhenguo that he should recruit Su Ba as his general, saying that he would surely become a powerful general in the future.

The Duke of Zhenguo really had this idea, but Su's father was still hesitating, so everyone kept pouring wine into Su's heart to persuade him.

In the end, it was Su's father who let those people go, saying that he would go home and discuss the matter with his family and that he would consider it carefully.

As for the land deed and the manor that Xiao Yi gave to him, it was also at the instruction of the Duke of Zhenguo. This time it was not given in the name of thanking Xiao Yi for saving his life.

Rather, it is because of the high-yield and high-quality seeds provided by the Su family that the soldiers in the barracks no longer have to go to the battlefield on an empty stomach in recent years.

Since the grain seeds were previously reported in the name of the prince and the Su family was unwilling to accept the reward at that time, this manor was regarded as a way of thanking the Su family.

Therefore, Dad Su finally brought the title deed back.

"Dad, are you going to join the military camp?" Su Weixi asked, grasping the key to the matter.

"It depends on your mother and you guys. It doesn't matter whether I go or not." Father Su said guiltily.

"I don't agree. Fighting here is completely different from being a soldier in your previous life." Su's mother saw what Su's father was thinking and immediately expressed her opinion.

"Oh, wife, I didn't say I was going, don't worry." Su's father panicked when he saw Su's mother was angry. He was most afraid of Su's mother getting angry because he had tracheitis.

"Hmph, if you dare to agree, then you can move out and we mothers will live on our own." After saying this, Su Ma stood up and walked towards her own yard.

Dad Su stayed where he was, not knowing what to do.

"Dad, if you don't catch up, you'll probably have to sleep in the study tonight." Su Weixi joked.

"You kid, you were born to collect debts. You laugh at your father's joke every day."

Dad Su looked at his miserable daughter, said this and went after Mom Su.

Su Weixi was left alone, staring blankly there.

"It seems that the life I wanted in the beginning was not like this. When did it start to change?"

Su Weixi said this in a low voice.

"Miss, what are you talking about?" Qiao'er, who just came in to change tea, heard her own young lady talking but couldn't hear clearly, so she asked.

"Nothing. Don't change the teacup. Just put it away. I have to go back to my room."
