Just by being in charge of the sacrificial function, he was able to dominate the entire north of the Huai River.
The man held the door and almost knelt down. He was a servant of the Song family. Several masters of the family went to Chang'an or Jinling, but never thought of taking him with them. The highest official he had ever met in his life was the local prefect. Who knew that he would have the chance to talk to the dignified Si Tu one day in his life.
He hurriedly returned the salute, then ran in to inform others. After a while, all the members of the Song family came out, led by the head of the family, and welcomed him in like they were welcoming a leader.
Xiao Rong: “…………”
After hearing the news, Song Suo came to rescue the situation in a rage. At that time, his father had just let Xiao Rong sit in the seat of honor, and then he sat in the place to accompany guests, trying to get close to Xiao Rong with a smile on his face. His father wanted to leave a good impression in front of Xiao Rong. After all, he knew what kind of person his son was, and he wanted Xiao Rong to be nicer to Song Suo in the future.
Who knew that Song Shuo didn't appreciate it at all. After he rushed out, he looked at the uncles and aunts in the room, and his forehead was red with anger: "What are you doing?! I told you not to bring that stuff here!"
After saying that, he pulled Xiao Rong up and left. It was only when Xiao Rong turned around and smiled politely at them that the embarrassment in the Song family's hearts was eased.
When they arrived at Song Suo's room, Xiao Rong rubbed his wrist which was red from being grabbed. He asked in confusion: "Why are you so angry? Your father didn't say anything."
Song Suo: "I know he didn't say anything, but others can't say for sure!"
Xiao Rong looked at him and said, "It doesn't matter if you said something inappropriate. This is in your home, not the palace."
Song Shuo: "You don't understand, they are just dreaming, they want to be the next Sun family!"
Xiao Rong: “…”
He said speechlessly: "You don't have to be so excited in every sentence. Well... it's good to have dreams, but whether they can come true is not up to them."
Song Suo had dark circles under his eyes. He looked at Xiao Rong gloomily, as if he were an evil ghost who was out to take his life: "They want to marry my two cousins to the king." Xiao Rong was stunned.
Song Suo added: "If the king doesn't want it, then I will marry you."
Xiao Rong: “…”
At this point, Song Shuo smiled grimly: "They plan to see the situation first. If the king has a good relationship with you, then one of them will marry the king and the other will marry you, and then our three families will be tied together."
Xiao Rong: “…………”
Xiao Rong didn't know what to say for a moment. He sat down and thought for a while. He said, "When the two brothers of the Yu family come back, you can ask them if they want to get married."
Song Shuo was shocked: "You really want my two cousins to get married?!"
Xiao Rong was choked by his accusation: "What's wrong with the Yu brothers? Yu Shaoxie will be a civil official in the future, and Yu Shaocheng is a rare and good general in the eyes of the king. Both of them have a bright future. If your family must marry off the sisters in exchange for protection, then marrying them is also good."
Yu Shaoxie will definitely be caring, and Yu Shaocheng...well, it should be fine as long as he loves his brother unconditionally.
Song Suo remained silent. Xiao Rong was an outsider, so he could say it so lightly. But the reality was that his family members were all dreaming of becoming royal relatives. Even if it didn't work out, they would not marry their girls to a military commander like Yu Shaocheng, even if the latter was really powerful.
Xiao Rong couldn't help but smile when he saw Song Shuo looking upset because he was being held back by his family.
Song Suo frowned and looked at him: "What are you laughing at?"
Xiao Rong shrugged: "Xiao, you still have a sister to worry about, and you also have such a big family who have come thousands of miles to seek refuge with you. Although your uncles are a little... hehe, but your father still cares about you very much. He didn't say a few words to me, and every word he said was to praise you in a roundabout way."
Song Suo thought of the pitiful people in Xiao Rong's family. He couldn't help but feel a little awkward. He didn't want to talk about these bad things anymore. He sat down and began to blame Xiao Rong: "I thought you should have arrived an hour ago."
Xiao Rong: “…”
Smiling, he also said, "I thought I could see you at the city gate."
Song Suo was furious: "I'm the one you left behind, so why can't I put on airs?!"
Xiao Rong: “…Yes.”
He shrugged at Song Suo: "So I came here obediently to apologize to you in person, didn't I? Mr. Song, Song Lingyin, you have worked hard these past few months. I beg you to be magnanimous and stop holding it against me, okay?"
Song Shuo glanced at him and said nothing.
Seeing this, Xiao Rong thought to himself that you forced me to do this.
With a sigh, Xiao Rong cleared his throat under Song Shuo's puzzled gaze: "Call for treatment~~~~~"
Song Shuo: “…………”
"Shut up!" He was so angry that he said, "Don't call me that. It will be embarrassing if others hear it!"
Xiao Rong stopped talking immediately and asked, "Are you still angry?"
How could Song Shuo dare to say that he was angry? He quickly shook his head, and Xiao Rong laughed. It was estimated that the Song family would come to invite Xiao Rong again in a while, so Song Shuo asked him to go back. He would also go back to the palace in an hour or two, and they could talk about other things then.
Xiao Rong naturally agreed. He made this trip just for Song Shuo. Now that the mission was completed, he could go back and rest.
Song Suo first asked his servant to go out and scout the way. When he didn't see any members of the Song family, Song Suo pushed Xiao Rong out. Xiao Rong shrugged and left. When he was about to walk out of the corridor, Song Suo suddenly called him again from a distance of ten feet.
"Xiao Rong."
Xiao Rong turned around and saw Song Suo leaning against the door frame. His expression changed again and again. Finally, he uttered the words that had been rolling in his throat several times.
"Don't go out for so long again."
"Two months... is too long."
