Chapter 162
Since Changying was acquainted by Song Jun by mistake, Ning Shi had never been in contact with it, so it was inevitable that he needed to know more about it.

She is also a lady of the family, married to the Song family and surrounded by scholars all day long, she strictly abides by the etiquette of the high family, after calmly appraising the rules and etiquette of the servants of the Shen family, she gave Changying a little bit of praise.

After chatting with Changying for a few more words, I found that she actually had a lot of knowledge, so the topic gradually became wider.

Although Changying didn't intend to show off, but she wanted to make friends, so she naturally used snacks, from female celebrities to poetry books, from chess games to rhythms, and at the lunch table they talked about local dishes in Huzhou. However, they still catered to the taste of the young lady of the scholar's residence.

"I heard that there is a tea house in the west of the city with a good location. I will meet General Xiumu another day. I will be the host and treat the general to drink tea."

Before leaving, Ning made an invitation.

It stands to reason that Changying should be invited to the Song family for a meal in return, but the Song family in Huzhou is the ancestral home, and there are old ladies and mother-in-law above the Ning family.

The Ning family and Chang Ying belonged to a personal relationship, so inviting her rashly, the Song family's strict rules would bring Chang Ying a lot of inconvenience, so, relatively speaking, it seemed more sincere to invite her outside.

Chang Ying came down and sent them to the door, and Wu Ma brought Song Jun a large stack of wrapped snacks.

Song Jun said: "Mom, Wu Ma can also cook roast duck, can I still come to see Sister Shen in a few days?"

Ning was a little embarrassed, this baby is too good to eat.

She said: "Sister Shen is busy with business, how can she have time to entertain you all the time."

Chang Ying said with a smile: "I'm not too busy. The government office works step by step. Brother Jun can come whenever he wants. Just be careful on the way."

Wu Ma hurriedly bowed: "My servant will start cooking roast duck tomorrow, get ready and wait here, brother is welcome to come over and try something new."

Ning didn't push any further, and said with a smile, "It's hard for you."

Changying watched them go away, then turned to look at Wu Ma appreciatively.

When she first came into contact with the Ning family, even if she wanted to fight for a long-term relationship, she couldn't be too obvious. It was Wu Ma who had a way to help her win over the little fat man with her cooking skills.

If the little fat man can come, will the Ning family come here less often in the future?Let's get in touch first.

She had written to Xiuxiu last night, asking her to pay attention to Song Cheng's movements in Beijing.

Song Yong was finally forced to leave the court by the Gu family, because he was framed by the Gu family for having an affair with pirates. Although the other party could not provide any real evidence, Song Cheng obviously couldn't swallow this breath, so he resigned.

That is to say, after all, the Gu family gave Song Yi an unwarranted crime to persecute him successfully. Then, it seems that this is the only point where she can make a strong effort.

When she returned to her room, she asked someone to call Shaoqing back, but Shaoqing suddenly held a large handful of half-bloomed lotus in his hand.

She asked, "Where did it come from?"

"Your 'Sanggong' asked me to bring it to you." Shaoqing helped her find a vase to put in it, and asked Fan Zhu to take it out to fill it with water.

Changying heard the words: "Have you gone to find him?"

"Don't you think it's strange? He actually knew who the person who plotted against me was." Shaoqing told about what happened in Xinghualou that day.

Changying frowned.

Huo Rong only started to interact with Shaoqing after he recognized her, and he actually found out all about him without saying a word?
The point is, it's not that Shaoqing didn't inquire about it himself, but there was no result afterwards, so how did Huo Rong inquire about it?It will take a lot of work for him to find out.

But he has so many shadow guards... She couldn't help but think of the skills and reaction speed of the shadow guards that night. If she didn't know that he was the young master of the Huo family, she really wouldn't treat him as an ordinary person.

"The Song family, what are your plans?" Shaoqing interrupted her.

She regained consciousness and opened the stack of documents in front of her, and first asked, "How is the Water Transportation Department?"

"After Liu Wei was arrested, although Peng Xie did not directly conflict with Liu Shuo and Qian Yun, the two of them have become a little more aggressive recently. The vacant seat after Liu Wei left was easily filled by Liu Shuosai. .

"If the Water Transport Department must be divided into two factions, then the Huzhou Wharf Lifting Department has almost been controlled by Liu Shuo."

Chang Ying took out a piece of paper from the documents: "In Cheng Xiao's case, the part that involved pirates was not found out, and we don't know exactly who the crown prince signed the contract with.

"Recently, I've been in contact with the Song family. Anyway, it's not convenient for you to stay in the mansion, so you might as well go to Hangzhou for a few days and try to figure it out.

"But remember, my goal is not the prince, but the Gu family."

The prince is not something she can move, and the Gu family is not something she can move either.

But in the previous life, the reason why the Gu family used Song Yong to collude with pirates was nothing more than the only way to refute Song Yong, and she had to plan ahead.

It is not an exaggeration for Shaoqing to say that he is a well-known young master in the capital. Ning may not have seen him before.

Shaoqing got up and walked under the curtain, then turned his head suddenly: "By the way, Huo Rong said that the horse Ling Yuan brought for you is still with him, so you can take it back when you have time."

……

Huo Rong talked to Huo Mingzhai, and sure enough, he sent Tong Qi to the west of the city the next day.

Huo Mingdi resisted for three days with a sullen face, and finally wrote a letter today saying that he could promise him.

After Huo Rong got off the Yamen, he rode his horse and entered the city again.

"The Shen family doesn't have a father or brother. In this matter, you have to ask your mother to come forward. I have sent someone back, and I will wait for her to come before I come to the Shen family."

Huo Mingdi's face was full of unhappiness, and the big jade spot finger on his hand didn't seem to be as radiant as it used to be.

Although Huo Rong felt that there was still a sense of delay, he also knew that he couldn't make any further advances in this matter.

No matter what the Huo family said, it is considered a big family and a big business. They are well-known in the business field and in the court. If there are no rules, the Huo family will lose face in the future, and it will be difficult to make Chang Ying feel at ease. Besides, he himself will be in front of the emperor in the future. There will be less help.

Then he took a step back and said with a smile: "Then the son will thank the father first."

Huo Mingzhai was completely entangled and lost his temper, and went to the dining room with his hands behind his back.

At the dinner table, Huo Rong was extremely filial. After all, it was too immoral to use methods against Huo Mingzhai, but he was forced to do nothing. He didn't care about the palace, and now it's hard to say that he is sure. To fight for it, at least he has to let her be Mrs. Huo down-to-earth, and let her return to the Huo family in a good way.

After dinner, Huo Mingzhai didn't dare to keep him any longer, and let him go after saying a few homely things.

The moon rises at the beginning of the month, and the summer night breeze is very pleasant. After leaving the city, the rice fragrance from both sides is savory, comfortable and comfortable.

Huo Rong was driving on the horse, silently calculating how long it would take for the people Huo Mingzhai sent to Huizhou to go back and forth, and couldn't help recalling the unknown old events in the palace. Flash, a gust of wind has already hit the throat! ...
