Chapter 185 I owe you a favor

An hour later, Changying saw this Bachelor Song in the front yard of the Song family.

When I was young in the capital, I actually met quite a few times on various occasions. After many years, Chang Ying still felt that time passed very slowly.

Song Cheng is not in his fifties, thin, but energetic, his temples are slightly gray, and his beard is meticulously groomed, which does not affect his handsome appearance in the slightest.

She is simply dressed in a Taoist robe, with only a piece of jade hanging from her waist, and the tassels are still half-new, simple yet detached.

From this point of view, in fact, there is no difference from him back then.

The place where Song Cheng received her was an open and bright courtyard, Mrs. Song, Mrs. Ning, and Song Yu were also present.

But both Mrs. Song and Ning just went through the motions and gave way after a few pleasantries.

Song Cheng said: "You are Ling Chongyun's niece."

He is not asking, but stating.For such an opening, Changying could only face it directly: "Yes."

Song Yu was afraid of making trouble, so he quickly smoothed things over: "Changying has a very good relationship with Lord Hou, and Lord Hou takes good care of Changying—"

Song Cheng glanced at him, and he immediately fell silent and stopped talking.

Song Cheng looked at Chang Ying: "I heard that Cheng Xiao's case was also handled by the general?"

"Yes." Changying said, "I'm responsible for solving Cheng Xiao's case, but I can't do without the support of the guard generals."

Song Cheng nodded and reached out for tea.

Ning's heart was a little bit worried about Changying, and after she came out, she stood under the veranda and never left.

Ever since Changying talked to her about the sea troubles outside the theater, and after Song Yu visited the coast and found the shocking truth about the coast, she also vaguely felt that Changying had become the most powerful person who influenced Song Yu to change his decision. .

Maybe she has some women's views and can't have the foresight of her father-in-law, but she really can't do it if she wants her family to collide with the powerful Gu family.

But she also heard about Changying's life experience, and she was also deeply afraid that Song Yan would be prejudiced against her because of Changying's past——

It is true that she was also shocked when she heard about Ling Yan's death in the past, and she also despised this niece of the Ling family.

But compared to the matter of shipping, at this time she automatically ignored what she had done—well, she admitted that she was selfish and selfish, but her actions did not hurt others, it should be Not even immoral.

She thought that if it wasn't for Changying, Song Tong would never have known the truth about the sea crisis. If Song Tong didn't know, then he would probably be dealt with by the Gu family.

So no matter what, it was Changying who helped them rein in the precipice and avoid this dispute. Not only should Song Tong not be prejudiced against her, but he should accept the favor of the other party!

The house is still going on.

Song Cheng had already asked about the situation of Nankangwei, Water Transport, Huhang bandits in the past few years, and even mentioned a few words about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting because he heard that the Ling family had cultivated Changying with care.

But even without mentioning the shipping, several times Changying was clearly approaching the edge, but he still moved it there.

"The lake, hang and sea troubles are serious. The old man has heard about them, but he has never seen them himself. This time, thanks to the general who led Xiuming into the chaos and witnessed the troubles in the sea, the Song family avoided the embarrassment."

Just when Changying was about to think about it, Song Yan said suddenly.

"I am ashamed." Changying said humbly.

"Don't be ashamed." Song Yao said, "The Gu family controls the water transportation, but this time it behaved abnormally. Xiuming's family letter arrived in time, which made me realize.

"I owe the general a favor. I don't know if the general has any difficulties. Is this old man able to help?"

Veteran ministers who have been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years, it is the usual style to be concise and to the point.

Hearing this, Changying felt that it would be hypocritical to be polite at this time.

But right now, there is really no need for him to repay this favor.

After thinking for a while, she said: "The Song family is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, and I have looked up to you for a long time. This incident is just a coincidence. I am deeply honored to be able to provide you with convenience."

Song Yan pondered and said, "What are your plans?"

Although the question was general, Chang Ying understood it.

Now her identity has been exposed, Ling Yuan has also found here, although he has the intention of protecting him, but he will leave eventually.

If she didn't give a clear account of Ling Yan's death to the world, life would not be easy after all.

"In a few days, I will be transferred to Gyeonggi. In short, no matter where I am, I will never forget that I am loyal to the emperor and patriotic."

"You want to go back to Beijing?"

Changying said: "Some things have to be faced sooner or later."

Song Cheng nodded, and after pondering, he said: "Alright."

Ning waited for about an hour, at least there was movement in the yard.

She hurriedly walked to the door of the Moon Cave, and saw Song Cheng and Chang Ying walking and chatting.

Song Yu was behind them with a brisk look on his face.

She stepped forward: "Father."

Song Cheng stopped: "Get some tea and send it to the water pavilion, set up the chessboard, and I will play a few rounds with General Shen."

She nodded in agreement, and then her eyes caught Song Yu behind her.

"How about it?"

Song Yu looked at the two people in front of him, and said with a smile: "Of course it's very good. The second uncle talked with Chang Ying about Huqiu Zhang Zian's paintings, and about Jinling Wu Bo'an's articles. Both civil and military."

Ning suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Song Yu didn't say anything about Song Cheng's specific comments on Changying, but her father-in-law was aloof and picky, and it was rare to see him so interested in front of junior generals.

I am also happy, a noble lady also has the difficulties of a noble lady. In the future, in the capital, it will be beneficial for her to be able to hand out more handkerchiefs that are both confident and powerful, and appreciated by her family.

As for the outside world's evaluation of Changying - she decided to ignore it.

……

Once some thoughts arise, they are like germinated seeds and cannot be retracted.

The continuous accidents made Huo Rong feel that it was necessary to evacuate Nankangwei in advance, but he also felt that it was necessary to have an explanation with Changying.

Ling Yuan is still stuck waiting for her to go to Jishanwei, he can't let her go, if she goes, they will meet in the capital in the future, it won't be Huo Rong and Shen Changying.

He had to take her with him, even if he couldn't get married for the time being.

"Young Madam went to see Song Yan, and I heard that Song Yan wanted to see him on his own initiative."

Tong Qi hurriedly came to report the news.

Although Changying's self-motivation is always said with confidence and confidence, in fact, Huo Rong is still a little puzzled by her goal of being so self-motivated.

Because he only recently realized that the reason why she got so close to the Song family was to make friends with Song Cheng.

What good does it do for her to befriend Song Cheng as a general?

He discovered that he hadn't figured out exactly what she was obsessed with.

But it's not just that he didn't figure it out, comparatively speaking, Ling Yuan didn't understand her even more, which made him feel a little more balanced-yes, he just set his bottom line so low, otherwise he couldn't be happy.
