Prime Minister Lin stepped forward. "Eunuch Li, there is no need to be so polite."
Eunuch Li asked, "Prime Minister Lin, why didn't you see General Shang?"
"Just now, Yuanshan's mother accidentally fell and got injured. Yuanshan took her back to the backyard."
Eunuch Li was surprised and looked at Shang Wanning next to him with displeasure. "What do the people in this mansion do? How could they let Madam Shang fall like that?"
Lin Jingfan stepped forward with a smile. "This can't be blamed on the servants in the mansion. It's because Old Madam Shang is too happy to see Minister Shang's child.
Holding the gift for Shang Shilang's daughter, he was grinning from ear to ear, and was accidentally hit by the gift."
Lin Jingfan made this clear at once, and everyone present covered their mouths and laughed.
Wu: "Jingfan, don't talk nonsense."
Lin Jingfan looked back aggrievedly. "Mom, I'm telling the truth."
Eunuch Li smiled and said, "The emperor even praised Third Young Master Lin for his true character."
Lin Jingfan laughed out loud. "Your Majesty really has a keen eye for talent."
Shang Yuanshan's voice came from a distance. "Eunuch Li, I am sorry for not treating you well enough." Then Shang Yuanshan came running over.
“I know that the general is busy taking care of Madam Shang, and the general is also working hard.
I came to your residence today on the orders of the Emperor to present a full-moon gift to General Shang’s daughter, Shang Yangyang.”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They all knew that Shang Yuanshan was highly valued by the emperor. If it weren't for the fact that Old Madam Shang was seriously ill, General Shang would not have asked to return to the capital. At that time, the emperor had already intended to confer a title of nobility on Shang Yuanshan and have him guard Guanggu City, but he didn't expect that the family had that troublesome old mother who held him back.
General Shang was also well-known for his filial piety, but it was such a pity.
While everyone was still sighing, they saw boxes of things being moved into the mansion.
Shang Wanning didn't care about the embarrassing thing that had just happened at this time. He walked forward and asked people to move the things into the warehouse, into their dry warehouse.
Eunuch Li stopped him and said, "Minister Shang, this is the full-month gift from the Emperor to General Shang's daughter, not your child's."
"This..." Shang Wanning felt completely humiliated today.
Eunuch Li didn't care about this at all. He smiled and looked at Lin Siqing. "Where should the reward from the general's wife be sent?"
"Shuang Ning, take someone to deliver the emperor's reward to the small storehouse."
"yes."
Shuang Ning took the order and led the way, delivering the things to Lin Siqing's small warehouse.
Shang Yuanshan knelt down to express his gratitude, and everyone followed suit.
Eunuch Li: "General Shang, Prime Minister Lin, I have to go back to the palace to report."
Shang Yuanshan walked forward and put the small red purse into Eunuch Li's hand. "Thank you for your help today, Eunuch Li."
Eunuch Li accepted the purse and patted General Shang's hand. "I am just following orders, General Shang, you don't have to be polite."
Everyone saw Eunuch Li off and was about to go back inside.
Then Duke Shang and his men arrived at the gate of the mansion.
"Miss Siqing, please let me see little Yangyang." The voice came before Duke Shang entered the mansion.
When everyone turned around, they saw the old but strong Duke Shang had arrived at the gate of the mansion.
Prime Minister Lin stepped forward. "Old Shang, you just came back from a trip outside, how come you're here?"
The wife of Duke Shang got off the carriage at the back. "That's right. As soon as we got back to the capital, he immediately sent people back to the mansion to carry the gifts and hurried over."
Shang Ningxia ran over from behind. "Daddy, Mommy." Shang Ningxia rushed directly into the arms of the Duke's wife.
The Duke's wife smiled and rubbed Shang Ningxia's face. "Xia'er, look, your sister Siqing already has four children."
"Mom, don't talk about this since you just came back." Shang Ningxia couldn't help but look at Lin Jingfan.
Duke Shang: "Well, my children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
When Duke Shang saw Shang Yangyang in Shang Yanqing's arms, he strode forward. "Yanqing, would you please let Grandpa Shang hold Yangyang?"
Shang Yanqing knew Duke Shang, so he nodded. "Grandpa Duke, please be careful."
"Okay~" a hearty laugh spread out.
"This little girl is so cute. Madam, look at her smiling at me."
Duke Shang held Shang Yangyang and his wife in his arms as they walked inside.
[Hehe, this is Grandpa Shang, the Duke of Shang. Grandpa Shang looks like Daddy.]
[But that’s true, they are relatives after all. ]
[Yangyang really likes Grandpa Guogong. What should I do? 】
Duke Shang was originally teasing Shang Yangyang in his arms. When he heard Shang Yangyang's voice, he paused as he wanted to confirm the voice.
He shook Shang Yangyang in his arms again. "Yangyang, do you like Grandpa Duke?"
[Hehe~ Yangyang really likes Grandpa Guogong. ]
Duke Shang was certain that he had heard Shang Yangyang's thoughts.
He won't tell anyone that this is his best friend's granddaughter.
He must not let others know that this child is special. He understands the principle that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. If others knew that this little girl is special, I don't know what kind of tricks they would have.
Duke Shang looked at his wife and found her standing there in a daze. He reached out and held her hand, then shook his head at her.
As a couple for many years, they knew each other's intentions with just a glance. Lady Shangguogong quickly calmed down and accepted the fact that she could hear Yangyang's inner voice.
[Alas, Grandpa Guogong and his wife are such good people, but his son doesn't look like their child at all. He is so bad. He actually... ]
Duke Shang knew his son, and he wanted to hear what Shang Yangyang had to say. He was curious about what his unfilial son had done.
But Shang Yangyang's mind had already drifted away, he was drooling as he looked at the dishes being served.
[Wow~~ I want to eat roast chicken, ah~ I want to eat pig's trotters, ah~ pork chops are so delicious~]
Shang Guogong was amused by Shang Yangyang and laughed out loud. "Oh, I think Yangyang is really cute. Old Lin, you are so lucky."
Prime Minister Lin: "Are you jealous that I have such a lovely granddaughter?"
"Old Lin, let me make you proud today."
"You have to make me proud." Prime Minister Lin laughed heartily.
Shang Yangyang heard the conversation between the two and came back to his senses from the delicious food. [Grandpa Guogong, your hope can only be placed on my Aunt Ningxia. ]
Duke Shang just happened to notice Shang Ningxia blushing beside him.
Duke Shang did not say anything, but said to Prime Minister Lin: "Old Lin, given our relationship, your granddaughter is my granddaughter."
Prime Minister Lin strongly objected: "That won't work."
"Why not?"
The wife of Duke Shang and the wife of Prime Minister Lin looked at each other helplessly. They were used to it. These two people would behave like this whenever they met. They were no longer surprised.
A group of people were watching the two old men arguing.
When the two were having a verbal quarrel, they saw a lot of large boxes being brought in from outside.
When Duke Shang saw the things that were moved in, he said with a smile on his face, "Yangyang, Grandpa Duke doesn't know what you like, so he brought you some treasures to give to us as a dowry in the future."
