There is no old lady in the Duke's Mansion, and he is the only Duke. If he is unhappy, it will be difficult for others.
If she offends him harshly, I'm afraid he might cause something to happen. After all, she is just a follow-up.
Mrs. Cui felt aggrieved, but she could only temporarily put away all her thoughts and went to apologize to Song Guogong and explain that she didn't mean that, but she just wanted the prince to concentrate on his progress.
When she was like this, Song Guogong didn't say anything anymore. Lin Niang left and left, and he didn't want to pursue any further investigation.
What pleased him was that Wen Songzhi had changed a lot. He was no longer the little bully before, but a good young man who was determined to make progress.
Tingtaoyuan had two people, Chen Sunshi and Liniang, in charge of him. He concentrated on looking for work, but he soon got the position of Jinwu Guards School Lieutenant, and he could take up the post immediately.
Moreover, Wen Songzhi's shop outside also made money. After Chen Sun's arrangement, he also used the money to buy the calligraphy and paintings that Song Guogong liked to honor him. This was an unprecedented thing.
Song Guogong was filled with joy. He had a new understanding of his son and got closer to him on weekdays.
Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian are happy for Wen Songzhi that the Wen family can live in peace. After all, most people still have to live peacefully. Even if there are conflicts, they won't be fighting and killing each other all day long.
In midsummer, Yeluen also brought three thousand elites from the Jin Kingdom to the Qin Kingdom.
Originally, Yeluen and Yelujin discussed asking Xiao Xian to bring people in, but Xiao Xian felt that this was not appropriate and it was better to let Yeluen lead them himself.
In order to show respect, the emperor sent Xiao Xian, Xiao Che, Xiao Run and several officials from the Ministry of Rites to Jimingyi to greet him.
With Xiao Che's hatred for Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu, he naturally didn't want to. Even if he had to, he would put on airs and not take the initiative to contact the two.
Xiao Xian didn't bother with him, and sent someone to confirm with his chief officer whether he had gone to Jimingyi two days in advance, but Xiao Che said he had no comment.
This in itself was very rude and petty behavior. Chang Shi tried to dissuade him, but was scolded by Xiao Che.
After Xiao Xian found out, he just smiled and told people to tell Xiao Che that he would take people to Jimingyi early the next morning. If His Highness didn't want to come with him, he could go later.
He felt that everyone was an adult, and besides, this was a major matter for the court, not a child's play, let alone a fight between children where one could express dissatisfaction by ignoring each other.
However, on the morning when Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu set off, Xiao Che also brought people to meet them. Without saying anything, he just said "Let's go" and rode away.
Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu led their own people to follow their team, and walked calmly and leisurely along the way.
When they arrived at Jiming Station, Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian no longer lived in the station, but gave it to Xiao Che. They stayed in a large family's house.
Xiao Che sneered when he found out, but didn't say anything. As for Xiao Run's instigation that the two were harassing the people, Xiao Che didn't accept it either.
He now acts as if he has nothing to do with Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu, and everyone is very indifferent.
Moreover, he also knew that he, Shen Mingzhu, and Xiao Xian were already incompatible with each other. Although they did not fall out in front of their father, they would never interact with each other in private, let alone talk to Yan Yuese.
