Zhang Zhiji smiled and said, "He's already here. It's impossible to chase him away. Even if Father doesn't see him, people outside won't say he really hasn't seen him. Instead, they'll say he's being mysterious, or even that he's secretly plotting something bad."

"So my son thought, since everyone is here, he might as well meet her. Not only that, he should meet her in a grand manner, with a clear conscience, and for everyone to see."

"As for whether or not to give him advice, that's my father's own business. Besides, Duke Dingguo must have his own thoughts on being loyal to the court and working for His Majesty."

Turning his head to glance at his son, Zhang Weixian looked at his pale face, a trace of heartache flashed across his face, and then he sighed and said: "Young people are full of wisdom, but they are mentally and physically exhausted. Your poor health is mostly due to this. I told you a long time ago, don't keep thinking about it."

Zhang Zhiji didn't take it seriously, as his father had been saying this for many years.

He looked up at his father and said, "So, do you want to meet this Duke Dingguo or not?"

"Now that you've said that, how can you not see him?" Zhang Weixian said unhappily, "Send someone to greet him and bring him over!"

"Okay." Zhang Zhiji nodded, turned around and walked outside.

Not long after, Zhang Zhiji brought in a middle-aged man from outside.

This person is none other than Xu Xi, the Duke of Dingguo of this generation.

After seeing Zhang Weixian, Xu Xi hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Duke of England." The smile on his face was unusually bright.

Zhang Weixian was unmoved. He simply waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's not use this. Sit down and have some tea. This is new tea, a tribute from Jiangnan. It's good stuff. Try it."

"Okay, okay." Xu Xi quickly agreed and sat down with a smile.

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Xu Xi said with a smile, "It is indeed good tea. The Duke has good taste!"

"Let me tell you, this tea, from the choice of tea leaves to the brewing time, even the choice of water and the fire used to boil the water, there are many details to consider."

Zhang Weixian talked with great interest.
