Looking at his cheap nephew who didn't listen at all, Song Mao sighed: "Wen Xing, I have to go out later. Think about what I just said and leave first."

Su Wenxing was stunned for a moment, then reluctantly withdrew.

Song Mao shook his head and asked Song Kai, the housekeeper, to prepare things and gifts for going out. His visit to Jiangning this time was only secondary. He came to the Su family mainly to visit some officials. The schedule was a bit tight. Whoever he visited first could be visited later.

Pay attention to.

After the carriage left the Su's house, Song Mao confirmed the prepared gifts to Song Kai again.

"The calligraphy written by Lin Fu and Mr. Lin, and the ginseng. Duke Qin likes calligraphy and painting, so the ginseng is placed in the middle, making it inconspicuous..."

Butler Song Kaidao said: "Sir, it has been several years since Duke Qin resigned. Nowadays, there are frequent disputes in Liao and Jin Dynasties, and the situation in the north is complicated and changeable. Could it be that the imperial court has the intention to reinstate Duke Qin?"

Song Mao shook his head: "I'm afraid it will be difficult in the short term. Duke Qin has shouldered all the blame for the Blackwater Alliance. In the past two years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover."

"Moreover...even if the higher-ups really let Duke Qin come back, given his state of mind, he won't come out again in the next few years."

As they were talking, the carriage arrived. Song Mao and Qin Siyuan were not familiar with each other. Qin Siyuan was in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Song Mao later became friends with him. After the other party left office, Song Mao, who had always been thorough in everything, would take charge of his disciples whenever he came to Jiangning.

Please come over here.

I handed in my greeting card and was quickly invited in.

After arriving, Song Mao learned that Qin Siyuan had a guest here today, a young man whom he didn't recognize and guessed he was Qin Siyuan's disciple or nephew.

Song Mao first felt that another old man in colorful clothes looked familiar, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he recognized him immediately.

He turned out to be a big shot, Princess Chengguo's consort Kangxian Kang Mingyun, the uncle of the current Holy Emperor. Although he was not involved in the court, he had a great reputation in the literary world and was also a well-known scholar.

Being able to get to know him will naturally be a great help to me.

However, the three people in front of him looked weird. Two big guys and a young man who he thought were his nephews were actually joking with each other. The atmosphere was quite relaxed, as if they were talking about being friends with each other.

After entering, he greeted Qin Siyuan and Kang Xian and exchanged a few words. Qin Siyuan pointed at Song Mao and introduced Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled and cupped his hands: "Brother Song, nice to meet you."

Qin Siyuan pointed at Li Mu and said: "This is Ning Yi, Ning Liheng, my little friend and Ming Gong..."

Song Mao's pupils changed slightly, and he couldn't believe it. This was the Ning Yi whose nephew was talking about his reputation. Not to mention his extraordinary demeanor, he didn't look like a nerd. Looking at his familiar and natural appearance with Qin Gong and Ming Gong, he was definitely an ordinary person.

, the kind of person you can make friends with and try not to offend.

My cheap nephew is probably obsessed with things and his mind is all muddled.

These thoughts only flashed through his mind for a moment, and the next moment he smiled happily: "Master Ning...could it be Ning Yi and Ning Liheng who appeared when the bright moon appeared?"
