Chapter 41: Feeling like old friends at first sight
After sending Jiang Yingyue away, Jiang Yunzhi, the young prince of Guangcheng Hou Mansion, prepared a generous gift and sent it to Su Zhai personally.
When the housekeeper of the Su Mansion said that Jiang Xiaohou personally came to the door with a gift to apologize, Su Han was surprised for a while, a little unbelievable, "Jiang Yunzhi? Come to the door with a gift to apologize? Is that right?"
Yesterday, he was very shameless and scolded Jiang Yingyue and Xu Ziyan in the street, severely humiliating the Guangcheng Hou Mansion and Rong Debo Mansion, causing such a big joke to the two houses. It stands to reason that these two houses should have both.
It would be better to bear him a big grudge, but now, Jiang Yunzhi comes to the door with a gift to apologize. What's going on?
Could it be that the Guangcheng Houfu does not hold grudges? We still have to thank him?
Su Han was a little confused about the psychology of Guangcheng Houfu, so he ordered, "Please come in, Mr. Jiang Xiaohou."
The housekeeper went immediately.
Not long after, Jiang Yunzhi entered the Su Mansion, came to the living room, and met Su Han.
The gift Jiang Yunzhi received was not light, it was a century-old ginseng. He handed the gift box to Su Han and solemnly apologized, "Prince Su, my sister-in-law is ignorant and the elders in the family are conniving and causing you trouble. This is
You must accept the apology."
Su Han blinked his eyes and said happily, "Jiang Xiaohou, is this your own opinion or the opinion of Guangcheng Houfu?"
"My father and grandmother knew that I came here specifically to apologize to Crown Prince Su, so I myself represented the Guangcheng Hou Mansion." Jiang Yunzhi also smiled and said, "Prince Su gave the Guangcheng Mansion a chance for half a month. It was Guangcheng's fault.
The Chenghou Mansion wants to force the prince, and the fundamental fault lies with the Guangcheng Hou Mansion. Therefore, Prince Su should understand the sincerity of my coming today."
This sincerity means that this matter has been revealed. The Guangcheng Hou Mansion does not hold grudges, and Su Han is asked not to hold grudges.
After hearing this, Su Han happily reached out to take the apology and handed it to the steward at the side, "If there are any good things in our house, we will prepare a copy for Mr. Jiang Xiaohou to take back. Mr. Jiang is so sensible, this friend,
I made friends with Su Han."
The housekeeper immediately said with a smile, "We have a rare and unique copy of Liu Zhen, a great calligrapher from the former dynasty, in our house. I heard that Mr. Jiang Xiaohou likes Liu Zhen's calligraphy very much, so why not give it to Mr. Jiang Xiaohou."
Jiang Yunzhi was taken aback and immediately shook his head, "It's so precious, you can never use it."
"Okay, that's it." Su Han was happy and reached out to pat Jiang Yunzhi on the shoulder, "Our Su family is similar to the An family. We don't like to write or write, but we all like to march and fight. This Liu Zhen's only copy is placed in the house.
It's also Mengchen, since Brother Jiang likes Liu Zhen, I will give it to you."
Seeing Su Han say this, Jiang Yunzhi knew that it would be inappropriate to refuse any more, so he handed over his hand and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Su. I came to apologize, but I didn't expect that I accepted your huge gift, Liu Zhen's only copy.
It’s worth as much as a century-old ginseng.”
"It's not necessarily true. You, a century-old ginseng, can cure diseases and save people, but Liu Zhen's lone copy cannot save people." Su Han was very free and easy, pulling Jiang Yunzhi to sit down, "Brother Jiang and I hit it off, if nothing happens to Brother Jiang
, I will stay for lunch today, and you and I will have a good chat over wine and get to know each other well."
Jiang Yunzhi smiled and nodded in agreement, "In this case, I will be disrespectful."
So, on this day, Su Han and Jiang Yunzhi really hit it off. They called themselves brothers and had a good time drinking and chatting in the Su Mansion. Su Han and Jiang Yunzhi became more and more interested in each other as they chatted, so they kept him after lunch and dinner.
Just let him leave.
Jiang Yunzhi stayed at Su's house for a whole day, and did not return until sunset.
After he returned home, he was called to the study by Marquis Guangcheng.
Marquis Guangcheng looked at him and frowned, "Brother Zhi, why did you drink so much?"
Jiang Yunzhi raised his forehead and said, "Prince Su was too hospitable. Crown Prince Su and I had similar temperaments and congenial words, so he kept me for a day of drinking."
Marquis Guangcheng was very surprised, "Did he accept the gift you gave me?"
"I accepted it and returned the gift immediately. Su Shizi also has a temperament that is informal." Jiang Yunzhi took out Liu Zhen's original copy from his sleeve and handed it to Marquis Guangcheng to read, "Father, look, this is Liu Zhen
The only copy is a return gift from Prince Su."
Marquis Guangcheng was even more shocked, "This is more valuable than an old ginseng plant."
"Exactly."
The Gengdu Family is different from the Military General's Family. In the eyes of the Gengdu Family, Liu Zhen's only copy is a priceless treasure, but in the eyes of the Military General's Family, although it is also precious, it is a gift that can be given away.
Marquis Guangcheng also loved calligraphy. He looked at it with treasure for a moment, and then handed it back to Jiang Yunzhi, "Since Prince Su gave it to you, you should keep it well! This Prince Su is also a man of great magnanimity.
Since I have the same temperament as you, let’s keep a good relationship.”
Although he failed to marry his daughter to Su Han, it would be great for his son to have a good relationship with Su Han.
Jiang Yunzhi nodded and returned to his yard holding the lone copy.
After returning to the room and closing the door, Jiang Yunzhi sighed softly, "With the heir apparent Su Han in the Zhenbei Palace, he can stay in Mobei for at least one more generation."
One generation means several decades.
The boy who was serving him whispered, "Sir, does the Zhenbei Palace support His Highness King Jing?"
"Not necessarily." Jiang Yunzhi shook his head.
"Ah? The good concubine in the palace is the person sent to the palace by the Zhenbei Palace. She is tantamount to the Zhenbei Palace's aunt. How can the Zhenbei Palace not support His Highness King Jing?"
"That also depends on why the Prince of Zhenbei sent a good concubine into the palace back then." Jiang Yunzhi said, "Back then, when the grain robbery case came out, His Majesty first suspected the Prince of Nanyang, but he also suspected Zhenbei of Mobei.
The palace? The old King Nanyang has married his daughter to His Majesty. Naturally, he can no longer think of any way to dispel His Majesty's suspicion. He can't send another girl into the palace. Where can he put the Queen? But King Zhenbei of Mobei has
There is no need to have such worries, just send the adopted daughter raised by the old Zhenbei Palace to the palace. The good concubine has a good temperament and good looks. When she entered the palace, she was favored for a while. Although it is not as good as the flower like jade now, it is really good.
Years of favor gave birth to three princes in succession."
"Our current Majesty loves beauties, and the King of Zhenbei is in favor of him. The Palace of Zhenbei has been stable for eighteen years without being suspected by His Majesty. This is the credit of the good concubine, but the good concubine was raised by the Palace of Zhenbei, and she is so kind.
This reward is also deserved, but now it involves fighting for the big position, it is different. Whether the Zhenbei Palace will put all its treasures on King Jing, and completely become a rope with King Jing, will affect whether the Zhenbei Palace will be more stable.
How can we easily draw conclusions about a major event that happened in ten or even hundreds of years? What's more, there is His Majesty the Seventh Prince who has the support of the An family. Now that Zhang Zaifu has committed a crime and the truth about the grain robbery case has been revealed, His Majesty no longer has any doubts about the An family and intends to establish the Seventh Prince.
Your Highness is the crown prince, and the Zhenbei Palace sent Su Han to Beijing to explore the situation in the capital. In my opinion, Su Han should have seen clearly after being in Beijing for so long."
"My lord, what do you think Prince Su has seen clearly? Is he unable to bear the responsibility of being respectful to the king?"
"Although King Jing is liked by His Majesty, he will go to His Majesty's liking, and has a place in His Majesty's heart. However, it is precisely because of this that those who only seek the favor of one person and do not care about the country will be embarrassed in their great responsibilities." Jiang Yunzhi.
After fumbling around for a while, Liu Zhen wrote, "Based on the day I spent with Su Han, Su Han's temperament is very upright, and I'm afraid he won't look down on King Jing."
"Prince Su looks down on King Jing, so how can he represent King Zhenbei?"
"Since the King of Zhenbei can send Su Han to the capital, his eldest son naturally holds a certain weight in the heart of the King of Zhenbei." Jiang Yunzhi said, "At the very least, he can represent half of the Prince of Zhenbei's palace."
"Then Young Master, do you also want to stand in line? King Jing cannot bear the responsibility, what about His Seventh Highness?"
"His Seventh Prince is taciturn, but he knows what he knows. He can do things pragmatically and deal with things impartially. He is a sensible person. Because he is too strict, he is not very flexible, and his temper is boring, so he is not very popular with the courtiers, but he occupies three places.
, both have the status of the legitimate son, the same support from the An family, and the same upright character. As long as the civil and military officials in the DPRK are not opportunistic people who like to take crooked ways, all the honest officials still like His Highness the Seventh Prince very much in their hearts. Just because of these three things.
In this way, he will be worthy of his great responsibility."
"Young Master, you don't seem to have much contact with His Highness Seventh Prince."
"Well, a person who is a king should avoid close ministers, and the same is true for a person who is a prince." Jiang Yunzhi said, "Let's take a look again."
The book boy nodded, "Sir, you have been tired for a long day. Please rest early."
Jiang Yunzhi nodded, freshened up and went to bed.
The news that Guangcheng Houfu and Su Han had not enmity, but had become friends, spread in one day.
Uncle Rong De angrily threw a tea cup and cursed, "Jiang Yunzhi, this kid, is so spineless to apologize to Su Han in such a low voice. Su Han is still young, arrogant and bullying. Marquis Guangcheng is also a
You're a waste, you can't control your son, you're a soft-footed shrimp, why should you be afraid of a young boy? So what if the Zhenbei Palace has soldiers and horses?"
Therefore, Rong Debo issued a message the next day, disdainful of the cowardly behavior of the Marquis of Guangcheng, and cut off all contact with the Marquis of Guangcheng.
