51 The Return At the dinner, Ji Song and You Ning sat together, one as depressed as if he had lost money, and the other as if he was a fox who had stolen a hen.
Xie Lian and his wife looked like they didn't see it and kept picking up food for them.
No wonder Ji Song is depressed. If the little witch succeeds in her treacherous scheme and doesn't take full advantage of her, then she won't be Xie Youning.
After Ji Song made countless promises, he let him go with satisfaction, not to mention how depressed he was.
Xie Lian and his wife looked at the angry two people and didn't care at all.
With their relationship, it only took a blink of an eye, and they got back together as before.
Scenes like this have happened frequently in the past few years, and they have long been immune to it.
The difference is that in the past, it was my daughter who took the blame, but this time it was the other way around.
After dinner, Ji Song couldn't stay. The Xie family lived in an official residence and the room was just enough.
Besides, it’s not convenient for me to stay overnight.
So, under Xiao Nizi's repeated threats, Ji Song promised to visit him often, and then he was able to leave.
Back to Anxiang, Uncle Ming has been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Ji Song hurriedly stepped forward to take the red tears from Ji Song's hand, and said: "Brother Song, this time you have made a great reputation in Chang'an. Didn't you see that many people are rushing towards you today?" Because of you, even our perfume business has increased a lot."
"Okay, okay, I'm almost bored to death." Ji Song did not enjoy the joy brought by fame at all.
In later generations, he hated those Internet celebrities the most. Each one of them used their novelty to attract people's attention. They rose to fame in a short period of time, but then fell in an instant.
Reputation is the most unreliable thing in Ji Song's opinion.
Ji Song was not interested in discussing this matter. Thinking that he didn't even have a place to stay when he came to Chang'an this time, and it was not very convenient in many cases, he came up with the idea of buying a house in Chang'an.
Because the Baron Mansion was the lowest-level title, it was not eligible for the Ministry of Industry to build a palace in Chang'an and could only be built on the feudal land.
It didn't matter if there was no need before, but in the future I will definitely come to Chang'an frequently. It really doesn't make sense that I don't have a place to stay.
"Do you know where in Chang'an the house prices are better?"
Ji Ming was stunned when he heard Ji Song's he quickly realized that his lordship was planning to buy a house in Chang'an, and he immediately became energetic.
He has worked hard on this aspect. He should have bought it a long time ago, but Ji Song kept pushing him. Now Song Geer has figured it out, so he must find a good house.
"Chang'an City was the former capital of the Sui Dynasty. Although it is now the Tang Dynasty, some of the past habits have not changed much.
Since the Imperial City is in the north, the houses in the north and on both sides of the Imperial City are the best, but also the most expensive.
As time went by, a general pattern was formed in which the east was rich and the west was poor, and the north was rich and the south was poor.
Therefore, as a family with a title, it is best to buy a house in the north of the imperial city. "
After hearing Ji Ming's words, I knew that he had done a lot of work in this area, otherwise he wouldn't have figured it out so clearly.
In fact, Ji Song didn't care where the house was. Seeing that Ji Ming knew it so well, he said, "Since Uncle Ming is a sensible person, I'll leave this matter to you."
"OK, no problem."
Ji Ming didn't refuse at all. This was a matter of great disgrace to the Ji family, so he did his best to do so.
"What do you want from Brother Song?" He had to ask this clearly, so that he wouldn't end up doing bad things with good intentions.
"The house doesn't have to be too big. The most important thing is that it shouldn't be too far from the imperial city." Ji Song ordered, thinking of some needs he might encounter in the future.
"As for the other things, forget it, I don't know. You can figure it out! Just tell my mother how much it costs, and she will agree." He really couldn't think of anything else, so he just ignored it and handed it over. Let Ji Ming, a professional, do it! Early the next morning, after greeting Ji Ming, Ji Song burst into tears and ran towards the outside of Chang'an City.
Because of the lesson he learned when he came last time, he left earlier this time and set off before dawn.
Originally, I came to Chang'an just to visit a few elders. Unexpectedly, a poem caused a lot of from the teacher that Princess Pingyang had been sent to garrison Tongguan by Li Yuan and was no longer in Chang'an, he had no interest in staying any longer.
For some unknown reason, Li Yuan used Li Xiuning to break into a government office and kidnap an official to remove him from the post of commander of the imperial army.
During this period, her cronies in the Detachment of Women were constantly transferred away. Now Princess Pingyang only has the title of coach of the Detachment of Women, but no real power.
Of course Ji Song wouldn't think this was his fault, he didn't have that much influence yet.
This matter is just a pretext. Even if it has nothing to do with her, Princess Pingyang will be relieved of her military power for other reasons.
Ji Song was not surprised at all that there would be such a result.
After all, Li Xiuning is a woman, and she is married and has a family of her own.
With such great military power, no one can rest assured, let alone Li Yuan, who is extremely power-hungry.
But there was no help from the prince's family, and Ji Song wouldn't believe it even if he killed him.
With Li Xiuning, the third sister who holds military power, there is nothing they can do. The best result is to transfer her away from Chang'an.
Ji Song believed that Li Xiuning also understood in his heart that he was caught between Li Shimin and the prince, and no matter what he did, he would hurt one of them, so not asking was the best way.
Maybe she wanted to be transferred out of Chang'an, otherwise she wouldn't have given up military power so simply.
When we arrived at Gwanghwamun, there were already many people waiting to leave the city at the gate.
Ji Song did not stop. When he got out of the city gate and saw the sparse crowds on the broad official road, Ji Song had no scruples and galloped all the way towards Haorian County.
"Xu Xu!" On the official road not far from Haowei County, Ji Song, who was speeding, had to stop because he saw an unexpected person standing in the middle of the official road.
"King of Qin"
"Is it a surprise?"
Ji Song never thought that King Qin Li Shimin would be waiting for him on his way home, nor was he so arrogant that he thought he was so important.
There were two war horses on the grass beside the official road, eating the dewy grass casually. There were figures poking at them in the distance. You didn't need to think about Ji Song to know what those people were doing.
Ji Song and Li Shimin stood side by side, looking at the green mountains and white clouds in the distance, not knowing what to say for a while.
"I can't help Your Highness, so why bother!"
In the end, it was Ji Song who broke the silence. Although he had been born in two generations, compared with these old fritters wallowing in the court, he was as immature as a little white sheep, so it was better to get straight to the point.
Li Shimin glanced appreciatively at the young man in the fluttering blue shirt in front of him. It was hard to imagine that he was not even young yet.
When you know your shortcomings, you immediately change your approach, be wise, and know how to advance and retreat.
It's a pity that he is young, otherwise he would definitely have it in his pocket.
"I know that even if you can help, you won't risk your own family. This is what I appreciate most about you.
But you should also understand my difficulties. I can't lose. If I lose, Chengqian, Qingque, and my aunt who treats you like a nephew will all fall into a desperate situation. Is this what you want to see? "
Li Shimin's expression was calm, but Ji Song could feel the suppressed rage.
For a moment, he wanted to agree, but thinking of his mother's unreserved love, he suppressed the impulse. He couldn't take the risk.
"I have a story. I wonder if Your Highness is interested in hearing it?"
"Oh, I am all ears!"
