Lingbao looked at this and that, and felt that Magistrate Shang had nothing to do with her, but her father was by her side, so she solemnly consoled her: "Dad, don't be angry. Being angry is not good for your health, and it is easy to get wrinkles."
The last sentence was told to her by the king, but she also found the record in the book.
Cheng Zhongqian glanced at her, angry, little bastard, who was he venting his anger on?
As soon as these words came out, Magistrate Shang and Mrs. Shang subconsciously looked at Cheng Zhongqian and found that he had no wrinkles at all. He obviously had several children, but he didn't look old at all.
It happened that Shang Yuan came back, and Magistrate Shang and he entertained Cheng Zhongqian, Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi to talk in the hall.
During the conversation, Magistrate Shang discovered that the father and son all had good conversational skills. There were many things that he did not understand, but Cheng Zhongqian was able to talk eloquently, and he did not look like an ordinary person at all.
He thought about it and realized that Cheng Zhongqian seemed to have been exiled. He didn't care at the time. After all, exiled people can have any identity.
But now he decided to investigate more carefully later.
Shang Jingxian took Ling Bao to her room and proudly showed her the clay figurine she had made before: "I kept it well, it's not broken at all."
Ling Bao: "I saved it well too!"
Mrs. Shang watched with a smile as the two little girls sat on the bed and muttered together, as if they had endless things to say.
Ling Bao frowned for a while and beamed for a while, making Mrs. Shang a little curious about what they were talking about.
You know, Mrs. Shang is really not a very curious person.
In fact, Ling Bao was asking Shang Jingxian why she felt that neither Shang Shiyue nor Mrs. Shang Jingxian were close to each other.
Shang Jingxian said: "Because she was not born by my mother, she was born by Aunt Zhao."
Ling Bao's eyes widened and his face wrinkled: "The county magistrate also has a concubine?"
"Yes, my father still likes her very much and often goes to their yard." Shang Jingxian said a little disappointed, but maybe it was because she had been disappointed too many times and she was not sad at all.
Ling Bao felt that this was indeed the case. If he had a concubine, he would no longer love his wife!
After playing for a while, a servant announced that it was time to serve dinner.
Mrs. Shang smiled and said: "Jingxian, Lingbao, we are going to eat."
"Come on, come on!" Ling Bao, who has always been very enthusiastic about eating, ran over happily.
Shang Jingxian was infected and looked forward to the next meal: "I'm coming too."
Cheng Zhongqian and the others had already sat down at the dinner table, and there were only three seats left. Mrs. Shang asked the two little girls to sit together.
In order to apologize to Lingbao and the others, Magistrate Shang specially had a sumptuous table of delicious dishes prepared. They usually did not eat like this every day.
Having just learned that Magistrate Shang had a concubine, Ling Bao stared at him several times as soon as he sat down.
Magistrate Shang asked with a smile: "What is Miss Cheng looking at me for?"
Lingbao shook his head.
Lingbao is small and can't pick up vegetables from far away, but it doesn't matter, she can only eat steamed buns and they all taste delicious.
Moreover, Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi fed her, for fear that she would be hungry.
"Lingbao, this is delicious, try it quickly."
"Eat more meat to gain weight." Meat is fun.
Ling Bao refused all comers, and Shang Jingxian and Mrs. Shang followed her eating habits and ate one more bowl of rice than usual.
"Master, Aunt Zhao is here and wants to see you."
Magistrate Shang frowned and said, "Didn't you see me entertaining guests? Let her go back."
The boy responded and left to tell the truth.
Aunt Zhao was flustered for a while, so she could only go to the ancestral hall again to persuade Shang Shiyue to admit her mistake. She had a hunch that if he didn't admit his mistake this time, it would be really difficult to deal with it.
That's for sure. It was just a small quarrel in the past. If Cheng Zhongqian can't be coaxed this time, once his article is circulated, his official position will be over!
So after the meal was finished, news came from Shang Shiyue, saying that she really knew she was wrong this time.
Only then did Magistrate Shang ask someone to bring her over.
Compared to just now, Shang Shiyue's eyes were even redder and twitching, and she no longer had the arrogance she had before.
Magistrate Shang still loved his daughter. Seeing her crying so miserably, his tone softened a bit: "Didn't you say you knew you were wrong? Why not apologize to Mrs. Cheng?"
Shang Shiyue walked up to Ling Bao obediently and said with a wilted head: "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said that to you yesterday. I know I was wrong. I hope you can forgive me."
Ling Bao pursed his lips and said, "Okay, but you have to keep your word, and you can't do that again in the future."
Shang Shiyue nodded with tears in her eyes.
Magistrate Shang glanced at Cheng Zhongqian and could not help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that although Cheng Zhongqian's expression was pale, he did not say anything else.
Shang Jingxian fulfilled her promise and brought Ling Bao a box of sesame cakes when she was leaving.
Lingbao said happily: "Then I will bring you toon tomorrow!"
Shang Yuan's smile froze: "Isn't that necessary?"
Ling Bao said seriously: "It's not for you, it's for Sister Shang!" Seeing Mrs. Shang beside her, she smiled sweetly and said, "There is also Madam."
Mrs. Shang smiled kindly: "Okay, then I'll thank you first."
Ling Bao kept saying no thank you, no thank you, friends should always keep in touch.
He is not a big man, but he has a lot of principles.
After they separated, Magistrate Shang held Mrs. Shang's hand and said with emotion: "Thanks to you today."
Mrs. Shang said gently: "This is what I should do."
At noon, Magistrate Shang took a nap in Mrs. Shang's yard. Aunt Zhao, who did not wait for him to come, shed tears for a while.
After waking up, Magistrate Shang went to the front yard and ordered people to check Cheng Zhongqian's information. When he got it, he couldn't help but be surprised.
With this family background, no wonder!
Not to mention that he had once been the eldest princess, his father was still the Duke of the country, but his generation just couldn't pass it on hereditary anymore, but his eldest brother also managed to live up to his ambition, and now he is a high official of the second rank!
Not to mention this, even he himself has been an official, but he is a Beijing official!
Even Magistrate Shang was not qualified to talk to him.
No wonder everyone in this family is neither humble nor arrogant, and they are not nervous at all.
What else can Magistrate Shang do now? He can only be glad that he listened to the advice and called people to apologize.
Although Cheng Zhongqian was exiled here, he would definitely still be able to contact his family if he wanted to. Then all he needed was for his eldest brother to "accidentally" mention this to the censor...
Then he can retire early.
That night, Aunt Zhao did not wait for Magistrate Shang again.
Because he went to Mrs. Shang's yard, took his wife's hand, and said, "You can let Jingxian and the Cheng family walk around more."
Look at them, they will be able to get up again sooner or later.
Mrs. Shang nodded.
It was hard for her daughter to make a good friend, and even if he didn't tell her, she wouldn't stop them from interacting with each other.
What's more, that little girl Ling Bao is really cute.
