Chapter 197 Is our Zhao family afraid of him?
"You're itching for trouble, aren't you? He and I have always kept our distance from each other. If I go to spar with him for no reason, wouldn't it be a provocation in the eyes of outsiders?"
Looking at his father's irritable look, Zhao Jingheng sighed.
"Father, I know you have some prejudice against Mr. Song, but from my observation, he is not as evil as the rumors say. He is in a high position, but he is not arrogant to a junior like me. He is willing to give me guidance. He has benefited me a lot. Shouldn't we give him some thanks?"
"Whether he is trying to win us over or has something else to ask of you, why don't you just go meet him and explain it to him? If he really makes excessive demands, we can naturally refuse."
General Zhao was speechless for a moment, and finally agreed, "Forget it, let me see what he is up to."
In the afternoon, there is a cool breeze.
Song Yunchu was sitting in the courtyard reading a book when she saw Bai Zhu coming over and handing her a letter.
"Sir, this is the invitation sent by General Zhao."
Song Yunchu took it and looked at it, raised the corner of his lips, and then told Bai Zhu: "Bring me paper and pen, I also want to write a letter to Miss Jiang."
…
In a blink of an eye, it was evening, the sky was dark, and the bustling scene on the long street gradually faded away.
"I heard that Lord Song likes to drink Longjing tea, so I ordered a pot for you. These signature snacks are sweet but not greasy. Lord Song, please try them."
In the spacious private room, Song Yunchu couldn't help laughing when he saw General Zhao speaking stiff polite words with an expressionless face.
Most military generals are generous and their happiness or unhappiness is written all over their faces.
General Zhao's face was full of the expression - I don't want to come, if you have something to say, just say it.
Song Yunchu poured himself a cup of tea leisurely, "General Zhao should be happy that your son has been promoted. Why is his face so stern and not smiling at all?"
"Being promoted before making any achievements may not be a good thing for him. Young people should hone their skills instead of rushing after fame and fortune. He is still too young to think that he can be overjoyed with a promotion. I think he should be more careful in what he says and does, and not forget his sense of propriety because of a momentary complacency."
"You're being a little too harsh." Song Yunchu disagreed. "It's okay to warn him, but you can't always be lecturing him. You should let him relax a little from time to time, especially on a good day like a promotion. It's even more inappropriate to lecture him."
"In my opinion, General Zhao should praise Young Master Zhao and hold a banquet. There is no need to be too ostentatious. Just invite some familiar relatives and friends to let everyone know how outstanding your child is. This way, not only will you have face, but the child will also be happy. Children all hope to be recognized by their parents."
Seeing that Song Yunchu spoke seriously, General Zhao's forehead twitched.
Song Bi is only three or four years older than his son, and it always feels weird to call him "kid" all the time.
"Master Song, please don't worry about our Zhao family's affairs."
General Zhao paused, and finally decided to get straight to the point. "Lord Song, I'll tell you the truth. We, the Zhao family, only want to serve the court and don't want to get into trouble. We are not interested in the open and secret struggles between you and others. If you want to win us over with benefits, then you should give up the idea."
"I will remember that Lord Song recommended my son and taught him martial arts. There is still a long time to go in the future, and I will repay this favor sooner or later. Of course, if you need any help from my Zhao family now, just tell me. As long as it is not excessive, we will do our best to help you, and then we will be even."
Song Yunchu sighed when he heard this, and then waved his fan, "Does General Zhao think that I came to you for the purpose of forming a clique for personal gain?"
As soon as these words came out, General Zhao looked at her silently, his eyes seemed to say - what else?
"I really didn't come here for myself this time. I remember that I had someone tell you not long ago that Miss Jiang was being harassed by her father and sister in Ruihe Hall."
Song Yunchu frowned as he said this, "She wanted to make a living on her own, but her family thought it was inappropriate for her to show up in public, and wanted her to go back home and be a well-behaved lady. She refused to go home, so the Duke of Jin made a scene in the clinic and threatened to sever ties with her. It's really unfortunate that Miss Jiang has such a father..."
Before Song Yunchu finished speaking, General Zhao's face darkened. "The Duke of Jin is cold-hearted and unfeeling. He is not worthy of being a father! He has let his daughter work alone for so long and never even visited her. Now that his daughter has become successful, he pretends to want to take her home. He thinks everyone knows what he is up to!"
When mentioning the Duke of Jin, General Zhao's words were full of contempt.
"If Miss Jiang really goes back to the mansion with him, I wonder how much of the things His Majesty has rewarded her with will end up in the Jiang family! They treated her badly in the past, but now that she has gained fame and fortune, they want to share her interests and try to control everything about her. It's really ridiculous."
"Being a father to this extent is simply laughable and despicable!"
Seeing that General Zhao's voice was getting louder and louder, Song Yunchu quickly said, "General Zhao, calm down. This is in a teahouse. If you curse too loudly, people outside will hear it. If it gets out..."
"Even if the news reaches the ears of Duke Jin, so what?" General Zhao sneered, "Does the Zhao family still fear him?"
