Chapter 319

They went down the mountain quickly. As soon as he arrived at the mansion, the maid next to Dugu immediately met him and whispered, "Jiulang, the old lady asked the maid to tell you that the Duke of the state is angry. Be careful."

Xiao Song did not have time to change his clothes. He arranged the front of his clothes neatly and went to the study in a hurry.

"A Tao." Ran Yan stopped the maid who was about to leave and asked, "do you know what it is?"

Even though the government said that ran Yan was born in a low family, there was no good place except a pretty face, but no one dared to give her any displeasure. A Tao crouched and saluted, "back to the ninth lady, it's about sister Lingxiang. As for the specific situation, I don't know."

"Thank you very much." Ran Yan slightly jaw head.

For ran Yan's thanks, a Tao has also seen the strange, polite one or two, then left.

Ran Yan couldn't disturb their father and son's conversation, so she had to go back to the room and let people watch. If the two fight again, she could go to fight.

In the study.

Bang! The song Duke clapped the letter in his hand on the record and was furious, "Xiao Yue Zhi! That's what you do?! We Xiao family, how to give you such a bad descendant! Say it! What is the ancestral motto of our Xiao family? "

"Honest and upright." Xiao Song must follow him now, otherwise, he will be able to fight again.

The Duke of the state of song took a big breath and smashed the paper on him. He said, "you know! The family will leave this matter to you, so you perfunctory? What are your rules for being the Xiao family? "

Xiao Song is looking into this matter, but he decided not to do anything. Instead of eradicating the pieces one by one, it's better to keep them and learn from them. Ran Yan is good at dealing with corpses, but he is only good at dealing with living people.

In order not to frighten the snake, he had to bear the temper of the Duke of song. He wanted to explain it well, but who knows if the partition wall has ears? People's hands can reach Chang'an, not to mention this is my family!

"Speak up!" The Duke of song jumped his feet.

"Father, the most urgent thing is to do well the affairs behind her grandmother. As for Ling Xiang, she died in the name of martyrdom, and the emperor has asked her to be a child. What can be investigated?" Xiao Song said these words, but in fact, Ling Xiang was watching him grow up. Every time his wife taught him, Ling Xiang would do everything possible to help him. In his heart, Ling Xiang was as close as Shu Niang. This revenge must be intensified!

Although the Duke of the state of song was furious, it was the father and son. Xiao song could clearly feel the subtle emotional changes. When the words of rebuke came to his mouth, he did not continue to speak. He just gasped for breath and sat down at the table.

After staring at Xiao Song for a long time, he was not angry and said, "you'd better think about how to explain to my family!"

Thinking of this, the Duke of song got angry again, waved his hand and said, "before I change my mind, let's go."

Xiao Song bowed down to salute, got up and retreated. It has not been a year or two since Xiao Song and the Duke of the state of song fought against each other. It is clear that he is quick tempered, but he is definitely a wise man. Behind this matter, you only need to calm down his anger for a moment.

When Xiao Song returned to the yard, ran Yan sat on the porch reading. Seeing that his clothes were still as neat as before, he knew that he had not pinched it.

"Have a good rest these days, and we will return to Chang'an in three days." When Xiao Song saw ran Yan, his mood became clearer.

Ran Yan did not ask, only should a voice, turned to the way, "those orchids on the slope can be picked?"

"Yes." Xiao Song said with great interest, "what's the use of it?"

"It has many uses. It can be used as food or medicine." Ran Yan was the first time to see such a large orchid, so he ordered the evening green to prepare the basket and go back again early tomorrow morning.

"I think my father's resignation has been submitted." Xiao song suddenly sighed.

Ran Yan was stunned for a moment. He immediately remembered that the ancients had filial piety. As a son, he had to keep filial piety for three years, not only plain clothes. The so-called three years were different in different dynasties. In fact, it was not a full three years. For example, the law of Han Dynasty stipulated that it was 26 months, while that of Tang Dynasty was 17 months.

As a grandson, Xiao Song didn't have to serve for three years. Moreover, he was an important official of the imperial court.

For important officials of the imperial court, if the emperor does not want them to withdraw from the political center, he will generally take the method of "seizing the mourning", replacing one year with one day, so the mourning day becomes 27 days, which is longer, that is, 36 days.

The Duke of song is no longer in the cabinet, but in terms of his past achievements, no one can deny that he is an important official of the court.

But at present, there is no need to seize the post of governor of Qizhou. The Tang Dynasty has no shortage of talents. As soon as the Duke of the state of song left, he could immediately find a suitable person to take office. Therefore, whether or not he is in a position to lose depends on what the emperor thinks.

"What do you think?" Ran Yan asked Xiao Song. She felt that the mood of the Duke of song must be very contradictory now. The loss of his life meant that he was still very important. However, it was also the emperor's fulfillment of his filial piety."No bereavement." Xiao Song said. Seeing ran Yan's doubts, he said, "the emperor never does meaningless things. It's not nice to say that. After the lunar new year, Mrs. Tai's body has been in a bad condition, and all of them have been diagnosed and treated by the grand doctor. If the emperor wants to know the condition of Mrs. Tai, how can he not know? And if you are not granted the rank of your life wife in the palace, I'm afraid it's the best plan prepared by the emperor. "

When Li Shimin gave Xiao Xuan a comment that "the wind knows the strong grass, and the strong man knows the honest minister", he naturally attached great importance to him. Li Shimin's mind was also a relatively broad one among the emperors. Even though some unhappiness later occurred, it was relatively small. He estimated that too Madame's deadline was coming, so deliberately suppressed ran Yan's life woman's rank was not sealed, which was a hint.

If the Duke of song kept filial piety for three years, Li Shimin would take the opportunity to promote Xiao Song as an official. On the one hand, he perfected his filial piety, on the other hand, he clearly told him: look, I still attach great importance to you.

"It can be said that if I was promoted to the Ministry of punishment, the emperor would be more gracious for the sake of his father." Xiao Song had no choice but to smile. It is not a good thing that his present qualifications alone will attract a lot of criticism.

In ancient times, it was a man's ability to climb to a high position by virtue of his family's ability. There was nothing to be ashamed of. However, as a person with talent and means, he might want to prove himself rather than get glory and wealth.

"Jiulang, ma'am, there is a maid at the door. Please come and ask your wife, saying it was ordered by Madame Dongyang." The evening green station reports from the ladder.

"What's the matter?" Ran Yan frowned. (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start（ qidian.com ）Your support is my biggest motivation to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. )
