Chapter 548 Song Chengxiu Learns the Truth
Song Ming was not the best among his sons in terms of knowledge or IQ. How could he become an official? He did not even take the imperial examination!
Besides, Lord Cao is a fourth-rank official, so Song Ming must be a third-rank official or above. Song's father thought of all the possibilities at this moment, but couldn't understand how Song Ming could become an official.
Song Yun glanced at Lord Cao and said, "You guys chat, we have something else to do so we should leave first?"
Then he glanced at Song Ming and said, "Let's go."
Song Ming nodded: "Yeah."
Watch the two people leave.
Lord Cao waved his hand: "Hey! Lords Song, it's already this late, why don't you have dinner together!"
In the end, the two did not look back.
Lord Cao looked at Song Chengxiu and said, "Chengxiu, what's wrong with you? Why don't you keep them here?"
Song's father then came to his senses and asked, "What is Song Ming's official position?"
Lord Cao looked at Song Chengxiu, who looked disappointed, and knew that his wife must have told her sister.
But his sister-in-law must have kept it a secret and didn't tell Song Chengxiu.
Women have absolutely no foresight.
I could only slowly tell him, "A few years ago, we in Dajin developed a rice planting technology that doubled the rice yield. You know this, right?"
Song Chengxiu nodded. Of course he knew this. That method reduced the number of hungry people in Dajin every year.
But what does this have to do with Song Ming?
While Song Chengxiu was still confused.
Lord Cao continued, "That was discovered by Lord Song Ming. Tell me, you are all family, how come your son knows this technology, but you don't know it!"
When Song Chengxiu heard this, his pupils dilated. His son was actually the Song Shennong that people talked about.
His official position is higher than that of his fourth brother.
He was an honest child back then and has achieved the most.
No matter what he said, he couldn't believe it.
Song Chengxiu then asked: "Then... where is he on duty?"
"He is a third-rank official in the Department of Agriculture. He is free to do his job. No one cares about him."
Song Chengxiu heard it and thought, it's the third rank! It's just a little lower than the sixth rank Shangshu.
The smile on the corner of his mouth rose unconsciously.
It turns out that his son is so promising.
Lord Cao saw the smile on Song Chengxiu's lips.
"Let's go. We haven't been together for a while. Let's go have a drink?"
Song Chengxiu, his brother-in-law, had never been so polite to him before, so he agreed.
Having a son who is a third-rank official and a son who is the number one scholar in the imperial examination, one would instantly feel his back straightened.
Seeing their children succeed is indeed a source of pride for parents.
It is said that when you are a child, other people's attitude towards you depends on your parents' achievements, and when you grow up, other people's attitude towards your parents depends on your achievements.
That's true.
Lord Cao took Song Chengxiu to the restaurant.
He originally wanted to go to Hualou, but he hadn't gone back to change clothes today, so it was not appropriate for him to go in his official uniform.
But I'll go there next time.
The two of them asked for a private room.
Lord Cao politely poured good wine for Song Chengxiu.
Song Chengxiu looked flattered: "Brother-in-law, I'm here."
"Ah! We are all family, isn't that the same?"
Song Chengxiu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we are all family."
After everyone arrived, Lord Cao looked at Song Chengxiu and said, "Chengxiu! In fact, you have been supporting your nephew all these years. In my opinion, why do you need to support your nephew when you have your own son?"
Lord Cao thought that his nephew was also a careless person and had often visited his house before.
It just so happened that he had a daughter of marriageable age, and he hoped that if he could do well in the imperial examination, he would marry her to him.
As a result, he ranked in the top four and became very proud.
I don't know how I managed to curry favor with the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
snort........
Song Chengxiu looked miserable. Did he want to support his nephew?
It’s because Minhua can’t accept his sons.
Song Chengxiu sighed softly: "This matter is not because Minhua cannot accept my sons."
Lord Cao continued, "Women are kind. There are some things that we men have to decide for ourselves! Don't just listen to women."
Lord Cao thought to himself, Song Chengxiu has all kinds of power relationships, so why is he still so narrow-minded?
She has children of her own. Does she know how to use her connections to pave the way for her children?
He wanted to curry favor with such a short-sighted person, but there was no limit to his efforts.
Song Chengxiu nodded: "Yes, but Minhua has come to his senses recently, saying that we are a family after all, and is willing to accept Song Ming and his friends, so I went to wait for them tonight, wanting to have a good talk with them, but in the end, both of them were like this."
I'm so angry when I talk about it now. After all, he is their father. It's really unfilial.
Lord Cao saw that Song Chengxiu was not in a good mood, so he quickly advised him: "Even a clay man still has some temper. What you and your sister-in-law did back then was indeed a bit too much. You should apologize to them sincerely. It would be great if the whole family can be happy after they calm down!"
Song Chengxiu thought for a moment and said, "Well, that makes sense. Should I go find them tomorrow?"
Lord Cao asked, "Do you know where they live?"
Song Chengxiu then remembered that he didn't even know where they lived, so where should he go to look for them?
Lord Cao smiled and said, "No, I know that they have an Anping Princess Mansion next to the Princess Mansion on Dongyang Street."
Song Chengxiu was even more confused now. What eldest princess?
What is Princess Anping's Mansion?
What does this have to do with Song Yun and the others?
Lord Cao saw that Song Chengxiu looked puzzled.
Then he asked in surprise: "You don't know yet?"
"what do you know?"
"You and the eldest princess are relatives!"
Song Chengxiu frowned: "What?"
Lord Cao then carefully explained to him: "Some time ago, the Princess's residence held a family recognition banquet. You know about this, right?"
Song Chengxiu nodded: "Well, who doesn't know this!"
Although they live on the edge of East City, they do business in East City.
Everyone in Beijing knows about the big and small things that happen to the rich and powerful families from time to time.
After all, where there are people, there is gossip. At that time, he also heard that the eldest princess's missing daughter grew up in the countryside.
I heard that you became someone else's shared wife?
Suddenly thought of sharing a wife?
Song Chengxiu looked at Lord Cao in surprise.
Is that what he thought?
Lord Cao saw that Song Chengxiu was a little bit bored.
He nodded and said, "Yes, your daughter-in-law is the long-lost daughter of the princess."
Song Chengxiu couldn't believe it. He and the eldest princess were relatives.
The eldest princess.
That noble existence.
Then Shen Xia is the cousin of the current emperor.
No wonder Song Yun and Song Ming have achieved what they have today. It turns out that they had the support of the eldest princess.
Now that the eldest princess is born, she no longer wants to acknowledge him as her father.
Song Chengxiu, the father, felt that they were the eldest princess's son-in-law, so their current status was definitely due to the eldest princess's support. It was as if he did not believe that their son could achieve anything on his own.
Don't even think about the time when Song Ming was an official.
And when did Shen Xia recognize his relatives?
