Chapter 163 Old Man
Chapter 66
Song Nan rode through the bustling streets. The warm sun in February sprinkled on his body, which was very warm and useful, but Song Nan had no intention of enjoying it. He was seriously thinking about Zhang Yong's words.
I accidentally came into contact with the prince, so I was awarded the position of Dongge, but it provided myself with an opportunity to contact the future emperor. Although I realized that this was a little slow, from Zhu Houzhao's attitude towards him, the prince was still quite humane; however, it was Song Nan who caused the unease of Liu Jin and others around him in advance. I didn't expect it.
It is well known that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are powerful. To put it bluntly, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to use the power of the eunuchs to compete with the civil servants. The way to be a king must be to sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight and do a great balance. Which side is bigger and which one is convenient to be suppressed. Relatively speaking, the power of the inner court actually comes from the emperor, which is also the reason why Liu Jin and others are dissatisfied with themselves. The prince's favor basically determines how much power they have in the future, and they should not block Liu Jin and others from competing for favor. On the contrary, it is necessary to have a good relationship with them. .
Although according to Zhang Yong, Liu Jin is domineering and ferocious, it is impossible to make friends, but she can't be friends, let alone enemies. On the contrary, the people around the prince have common interests. No matter how hateful his behavior is, it's not his turn to dictate at present. After all, he is just a nobody around the prince, and his job is still a thousand households of Jinyiwei. Whether he can make more progress in the future depends on the operation at this time.
Song Nan made up his mind to find an opportunity to talk with Liu Jin. The entry point is actually very simple. He is a foreign official. No matter how good the prince is to him, he can't threaten Liu Jin and others's power in the inner court in the future. He won't cut eggs and enter the palace to be an eunuch. That baby is also for an emperor. It can't be changed.
For Liu Jin's medicine of tiger and wolf to lure the prince to taste the pleasure of adulthood, Song Nan did not feel any fus. Sooner or later, the prince will 'three thousand beautiful women in the harem, and the iron pestle will be ground into embroidery needles'. What he needs to do is not to stop it, but to remind him not to overdo it too much in beauty and ruin his body. .
Song Nan rode back to the government office. There was nothing big deal in the government office. After sitting for a while, making tea and blowing cowhide with several subordinate officials, he got up and went home for lunch. Since the wedding, Song Nan has not had much lunch in the government office. On the one hand, she had nothing to do in the government office, and second, she already had family members, so she should go home. Yes.
As soon as he entered the front yard, a servant came forward to take care of it. Uncle Zhong hurried from the front hall and said with a famous post in his hand, "Young master, someone sent a famous post in the morning, saying that he would invite you to go to the banquet in the evening."
Song Nan has received a lot of such posts recently, and she doesn't care. She glanced randomly and said, "I know."
Uncle Zhong followed and said, "That man also said that he was an old friend of Weizhou Prefecture."
Song Nan was stunned, turned around and reached out to grab the worship post and tear it open. It was written on it: The old man Fang Datong visited Song Qianhu. In the evening, he held a banquet in the Chunfeng Building of Zhengnanfang and invited Song Qianhu to talk about the past.
Song Nan frowned and said, "What did he do when he saw me?"
Uncle Zhong said, "Does the young master know him?"
Song Nan said, "Uncle Zhong, you also know this person. When I joined the army in Weizhou, this person also came to congratulate him, who was Lord Fang of 100 households in Weizhou Jinyiwei at that time."
Uncle Zhong thought for a moment and said, "I still have some impression. Is it the strong and shrewd military officer?"
Song Nan nodded and said, "It's him."
Uncle Zhong muttered, "I haven't seen him come to the capital for so long. The young master came when he was promoted. It can be seen that he is not an honest person."
Song Nan smiled and walked through the front hall to the back hall. In the courtyard, Ye Fanggu was stirring on the flower bed with a hoe. There were some seeds spread out in a cloth bag. Song Nan tiptoe over and hugged and smiled, "What are you doing?"
Ye Fanggu was shocked and said blankly, "The flower bed is empty. At this time, you have to sow flower seeds."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Of course, the two peony flowers you dug will be empty."
Aunt Ye Fang said angrily, "It's not for you. Go into the room quickly. Someone is angry."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Qingli? Why are you angry?"
Ye Fanggu said, "How can Qingli be angry if she is heartless? Your little princess is here."
Song Nan was shocked. The little princess became more and more diligent in going to and from her house. Like visiting relatives, she came five or six times after the Spring Festival. Did Zhang Lun and her husband acquiesce?
"I'll go and have a look. I have a headache." Song Nan turned around and walked into the house.
Ye Fanggu's voice came: "I'm afraid she's very happy."
As if she didn't hear it, Song Nan entered the room, lifted the curtain and drilled into the glass room. Lu Qingli and the little princess were sitting and standing. The little princess pouted and looked unhappy, and Qingli said something softly.
Seeing Song Nan coming in, Lu Qingli stepped forward and said, "Brother Song, the little princess is here."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Good night, princess. Let's have lunch together."
"Don't eat." The little princess threw a hard sentence.
Song Nan was stunned. Lu Qingli came forward and pulled his arm out, as if she had something to say.
Song Nan was pulled outside by her and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Lu Qingli blushed and said, "I'm angry."
"Why are you angry? Did I mess with her?"
Lu Qingli said, "It's not you yet. When I got married, I said I would tell her first. You said you were afraid that she would mess around and hide it from her. Now that she knows, she is naturally unhappy."
Song Nan frowned. The little princess knew that she was surrounded by Lu Qingli and Ye Fanggu. When she was intimate, she also said that she didn't care. There were too many such things in the big family at the gate. Among other things, there were hundreds of concubines beside Zhang Mao's husband alone. She should not be angry about this.
Song Nan thought for a moment and whispered, "You go and order someone to prepare meals, and I'll enlighten her."
Lu Qingli said, "Don't be angry with her. She also brought me a wedding gift." After saying that, he showed his wrist and showed a string of bright beads to Song Nan.
Song Nan let go of most of her heart and brought gifts to celebrate, which showed that there was nothing serious. While thinking about it, the little princess inside began to shout, "Song Nan, Song Nan, get in."
Song Nan scratched her head and raised the curtain and came in. The little princess stood up with an angry face, and her little mouth pouted to hang the toilet.
"Why are you unhappy? Which one who has no eyes has offended the little princess?" Song Nan smiled and went forward.
"It's you who doesn't have long eyes. It's in vain for me to treat you sincerely." The little princess stamped her feet.
Song Nan said, "You shouldn't be annoyed by the fact that I take Qingli as the side room, are you? This is a matter that has been decided for a long time. How can I not abide by my promise?
The little princess said andly, "Who cares about you? Let me ask you, why did you marry Sister Lu and hide it from me?"
Song Nan scratched her head and said, "This... is not hidden from you. Maybe I'm too busy to forget it."
The little princess said angrily, "You just don't pay attention to me. Maybe you think I'll make noise. Let me ask you, who am I?"
Song Nan smiled bitterly and said, "This... How can I answer? Who are you... Um..." Song Nanxin said: Saying that you are my wife, you haven't reached that yet. Your grandfather and brother can't wait to castrate me. It's not right to say that you have nothing to do with me. The two have kissed dozens of times. This relationship is really difficult to describe. .
"Girlfriend! Yes, you are my girlfriend." Song Nan finally found the right word. Although there is no girlfriend these days, this word is the most appropriate to describe the current relationship.
"Bah, well, now I know that I'm just a friend in your heart. Well, I'm blind, I'll go..." The little princess stamped her feet and walked away, and tears flashed in her eyes.
Song Nan quickly hugged her and said, "My girlfriend is the future wife. Isn't this heavy enough?"
The little princess turned her head and said, "Really?"
Song Nan said, "God is the proof."
The little princess turned her eyes and said, "This is almost the same. Where did the strange words come from? Let me ask you, since you are the future wife, why didn't you invite me to come? Shouldn't my wife receive a cup of tea?"
Song Nan almost fell down. This little girl actually pretended to be a big woman. What a big deal? It turned out to be evil for face. The problem is that even if I intend to marry you, haven't you passed the door yet?
"Are you angry about this?"
"Yes, I'm your future wife."
"Please, you and I haven't got married yet. The six wedding gifts have not been done, and the words of the parents' fate matchmaker are not at all. If I put you in the hall to receive green glass tea, won't your grandfather and brother bring the royal guard to copy my house?" Song Nan couldn't laugh or cry.
"Is it true that you can't receive tea until you get married?" The little princess was stunned.
"Yes, my aunt." Song Nan can't do anything about her.
"Oh, that's my mistake. I apologize to you, but Qingli will have to make up for it in the future." The little princess's way as if nothing had happened.
Song Nan sweated a waterfall and only said, "Go to dinner. Hey, it's really yours."
The little princess smiled and said, "Don't be busy. I have gifts here. How can I not give gifts if you get married?"
Song Nan said, "Didn't you send me Amber?"
The little princess pouted her red lips and said, "That doesn't count. This time I stole a purple sand pot from my grandfather to give you. Don't you like to drink tea? Yixing purple sand pot, made by Wang Dezhang, a famous artist of Zhao and Song, plus a jar of new tea from Grandpa's West Lake Longjing.
As soon as the little princess raised her hand, a small wooden box appeared in her hand. Song Nan laughed and said, "No wonder people say that girls are outgoing and women are not good at all. You move like a mouse. Your grandfather may blow his beard and stare angrily when he knows it."
The little princess smiled and said, "What about him, do you like it?"
Song Nan picked up the little princess and said to her red lips, "I like it."
