The town of Songhu in the eastern part of the Pujiang River is less than 50 kilometers away from the city.

This ancient town is picturesque, with quaint and deep alleys, mottled horse-head walls, and creepers adorned with high walls.

There are also arched bridges, flowing water, promenades, and markets, with mellow ancient rhyme, like an ink painting of the rain corridor.

An inconspicuous manor in the northwest of Songhu Town, it is usually very quiet here, and almost no one comes to disturb it.

There are guards all over the neighborhood, and as soon as there are idle people waiting for them, they will appear immediately.

A large SUV drove at high speed from Songhu Town, and as soon as it reached the fork in the road outside the manor, it was stopped by more than a dozen big men who suddenly appeared.

These guards are well-trained, and at first glance they are from the military.

The first stout man wearing sunglasses walked to the side of the cab with a cold face.

"This is a private estate, please leave immediately......"

At this time, the window of the cab rolled down, and the man was a little surprised when he saw the people in the car.

The strong man hurriedly bowed slightly.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness ...... Princess"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and waved his hand to the side, and a group of guards next to him hurriedly opened the barricade.

The large SUV roared towards the manor in the distance, until the car was gone, and a dozen big men still bowed to the car.

The owner of this car is Sister Ying's sister-in-law and the sister of the current emperor, Her Royal Highness Zhao Xinyi, the eldest princess of the Chinese Empire.

Zhao Xinyi parked the car at the gate of the manor, and as soon as she got out of the car, a guard next to her ran over and drove the car away.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please ...... here"

A guard led Zhao Xinyi into the manor, and the guards from all over the country bowed to her when they saw her.

Zhao Xinyi came all the way to the back of the manor, which is a beautiful artificial lake, and an old man is sitting by the lake fishing.

The old man was thin, wearing a white-washed coarse cloth gown, and handmade cloth shoes on his feet, no different from an ordinary peasant old man.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the old man slowly turned his head with a smile on his face.

"Xinyi is here......"

"Dad, I've come to see you......"

"How long has it been since you girl, you remembered, to come to see me......"

"I want to come too, but the experts around you specially told me not to disturb you as much as possible......"

"Hmph...... I can't die if they talk about it......"

After the old man finished speaking, he put down the fishing rod in his hand and stood up.

"Girl...... Walk with me......"

Zhao Xinyi smiled when she heard this, and hurriedly went up to hold the old man's arm.

"Dad, you've been in good spirits lately......"

"Alas...... Old...... Now sit for a while and get sleepy......"

After speaking, the old man looked around, then stretched out his hand to Zhao Xinyi and shook two fingers.

Zhao Xinyi smiled bitterly, took out the cigarette case from her bag, took out one and put it in the old man's hand, and then took out the lighter to help him light it.

The old man took a deep puff of his cigarette and showed a look of life fulfillment.

"Forget about restricting Lao Tzu from drinking, and don't let me smoke, hum...... And against them......"

Don't look at the old man's hard mouth, but when he smokes, his eyes look around carefully.

Zhao Xinyi covered her mouth and smiled, and then said, "Dad, they are also thinking about your body." ”

"My body is my bones...... By the way, you came here today, is there something wrong......"

"Dad, look at what you said, I can't come to see you......"

"Come on, you guys, it's okay so you don't look at me, a lonely old man......"

Zhao Xinyi smiled when she heard this: "Hehe...... Look at what you said, how can we have it......"

"Say it......"

was seen by the old man, and Zhao Xinyi could only explain the intention.

The old man listened to Zhao Xinyi's words and waved his hand impatiently.

"Don't tell me those things, promote that set of ...... I don't understand"

"Dad......"

"Don't listen to ......"

Zhao Xinyi pouted, and then said: "Actually, this is the work of Yingzi's younger brother, Yingzi entrusted me to hand it over to the Ministry of Military Affairs, I was a little unsure, so I came to your ......"

The old man quickly turned his head.

"You said this is Eiko's brother's thing, why did this girl pop up with a younger brother......"

"It's he who recognizes his godbrother......"

The old man nodded, and then said, "Okay, okay...... I'll hear it later...... You guys, I can't do it for a while, I don't want to be ......."

Zhao Xinyi shook the old man's arm and said with some dissatisfaction: "Dad...... Are you biased...... As soon as you say Eiko, you promise everything......"

The old man shook his head with a smile.

"Huh...... How can it be...... I can't stand your abrasive ......."

He said this, thought for a while, and said, "Eiko's younger brother...... They both ......"

Zhao Xinyi smiled, then shook her head and said, "As far as I know, they shouldn't be ......."

The old man was a little disappointed when he heard this, and then sighed.

"You say this girl...... I can't let me save my snacks ......."

After he finished speaking, he said to Zhao Xinyi: "You, who are sisters-in-law, will help Zhang Luo and Zhang Luo when you meet the right one......"

"Dad...... You have wronged me, I don't worry about her less, but Yingzi, you don't know yet, stubborn...... She still can't forget Haotong......"

The old man suddenly stopped and stood in a daze for a long time.

Zhao Xinyi knew that she had lost her words, and she felt remorseful, and hurriedly persuaded gently: "Dad...... We'll sit there for a while......"

The old man nodded slowly, and then sat on the chair next to him with Zhao Xinyi's support.

His favorite is his youngest son, but who would have thought that it was a white-haired person who sent a black-haired person, which was also the biggest regret of the old man's life.

Because I like my youngest son, I also love the house and Wu's good to Eiko, no matter how you look at it, I think this daughter-in-law is pleasing to the eye.

All these years have passed, and Eiko is still alone, not only rarely showing up, but never begging him once.

So the old man felt very guilty about this little daughter-in-law, so Eiko's marriage was also a piece of his heart.

Seeing that the old man was depressed, Zhao Xinyi had no choice but to keep talking to the old man.

Don't look at the old man living in seclusion in the countryside now, but his influence in the imperial military has not decreased at all.

Not only does the military respect the old man very much, but even the emperor must respect the old man when he sees him, and he must not slack off at all.

Fortunately, the old man had gone through ups and downs, and his mind had already been sharpened to be extremely tenacious, and after only a while, his emotions calmed down.

"Let's go...... Listen to that tune you brought......"

Zhao Xinyi hurriedly agreed with a smile, and then helped the old man to walk towards the manor.

No sooner had they entered the courtyard of the manor than they saw a guard hurrying in.

"Marshal, Minister Shao Gang of the Ministry of Military Affairs is here......"

The old man nodded impatiently and muttered a few words.

"After retreating for so long, I can't let Lao Tzu stop for a few days......"

After he finished speaking, he said to Zhao Xinyi next to him: "Shao Gang is here, just let him listen to it together......"
