It's late at night, the lights in the Song Mansion are brilliant, like day, the people keep huddle in all parts of the house, the men are walking like flying, the women are smiling like flowers, even the guards are in good spirits, and everyone is full of joy.

In the hall, Song Jue sat in the middle, his face was as heavy as water, sipping tea unhurriedly, only when he looked out of the hall, he would show a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Compared with Song Jue, the Zhu family beside him was full of anxiety and writhing, if it weren't for Song Jue beside him, Zhu would have been waiting at the gate of the Song Mansion like Ming'er and Se'er.

The child was only two months old, staring at the big black eyes, dancing with chubby little hands, and picking at the lotus pattern on the chest of the child.

"Don't you sleep yet?" Looking forward to Song Zheng's arrival, Zhu Shi set his eyes on the baby boy, and a kind smile immediately flashed on his face, this baby boy is Song Zheng's unmet son Song Xuan, whose name is Liu'er. [

"Happy? I don't know why he is in such good spirits, and he only sleeps ten hours a day. She replied with a smile and wiped the thick hair on the boy's head.

"What's right? The child is strong. Zhu replied with a smile: "Like Zheng'er when she was a child, Zheng'er also slept less at that time, and she was always mischievous and cried vigorously."

"Liu'er cries less and laughs when she teases." Yan'er lowered her head and crossed her mouth at the boy, making a chirping sound from her mouth.

As soon as the boy teased, he kicked his two calves desperately, grabbed his mother's chin with both hands, and smiled at the corners of his mouth, revealing his delicate and ruddy gums, above which the two teeth had been exposed, revealing the white heads, like a thin line protruding from the gums.

Chang'er sighed: "Mother, where are Xuan'er's teeth?"

"Really, I'll see." Zhu Shi hurriedly walked over, gently pressed the baby's lower lip, and immediately said happily: "Really? My Xuan'er is teething. ”

Song Jue stretched his neck to take a look, and his face also showed joy.

Since the birth of the baby boy, every day of growth has brought joy to Fuzhong, but unfortunately the child's father has gone to Shu and has not seen the child.

However, it will be fine after tonight, and the man who has worried the people of Hefu will come back.

，，，，，，，。

In the dark night, a carriage shuttled quickly through the streets of Jiangning City, and dozens of forbidden soldiers in front and behind, holding torches, ran in the direction of Song Mansion.

"My lord, the Song Mansion will be here soon." A forbidden soldier reined in his horse and bowed to the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, Song Zheng looked forward, and saw a big mansion from a distance, the courtyard wall was high, covering a wide area, looking from Song Zheng, the courtyard was very bright, obviously lit many lights.

Song Zheng took a closer look, and then recognized that this was the old site of the Song Mansion, but this new courtyard was not much wider than the original.

The carriage continued to move forward along the main street, Song Zheng kept watching through the curtain, and in the distance, he saw two huge lanterns hanging at the entrance of the Song Mansion, and many figures were shaking under the lights.

"It's coming, it's coming." Qingshan's eyes were sharp, and as soon as he saw the forbidden army in the distance, he immediately shouted, and immediately, more than a dozen figures ran in the direction of Song Zheng.

In the front, there are two beautiful women in their double decade, one with a face like a silver basin, warm as jade, and the other with a high nose bridge, beautiful as a flower.

"Stop." Song Zheng gave an order, the whole team stopped, Song Zheng jumped, got out of the carriage, and bowed his hand to the hundred households of the forbidden army: "Just send it here, my lord, please go back, thank Commander Han on my behalf."

The hundred households hurriedly saluted and turned to leave. [

When Song Zheng turned around again, the two soft bodies rushed into his arms with the fragrance, Song Zheng held one in one hand, hugged it tightly, and whispered: "Ming'er, Se'er."

"You're back, woo, woo." Se'er immediately burst into tears, beating Song Zheng's shoulder with one hand, and Ming'er also shed tears and grabbed Song Zheng's neck.

Qingshan and Xiao Si and the other subordinates immediately stopped, and after being stunned for a moment, they ran back and reported to the mansion.

Ming'er was always in a good mood, and soon left Song Zheng, pulling Se'er with one hand: "The lord and the lady are waiting in the mansion?" As he spoke, he wiped his tears, but his eyes never left Song Zheng.

"Let you suffer." Song Zheng patted the two of them on the fragrant shoulders, held the two soft and smooth little hands, exhaled a long breath, and walked towards the gate, Ming'er and Se'er were a little embarrassed, and wanted to pull their hands back several times, but Song Zheng held them tightly.

"The young master is back, the young master is back." With Aoyama's call, the people of the whole house were smiling.

"It's Zheng'er back." Zhu stopped teasing the child, turned around and ran out of the door, Chang'er naturally hugged her son tightly, and followed out, Song Jue, who had always been strict, didn't want to put on any old man's demeanor, so he also stood up and strode out of the house.

As soon as he saw his parents, Song Zheng hurriedly let go of Ming'er and Se'er's hands, took a few steps, and knelt down with an ordinary voice: "Unfilial son Song Zheng has seen his father and mother."

"My son!" Zhu stepped forward and hugged Song Zheng's shoulder, crying with joy.

This night, the Song Mansion stayed up all night and slept all night.

，，，，，，，。

Early the next morning, Song Zheng rushed to the post house to receive the Shu envoy into the palace to meet him, Tang and Xue also got up early, ready and punctual, and the mission went to the imperial city under the escort of the forbidden army.

"Lord Tang, in front of me is my Great Qi Imperial City, after entering the city for a while, I will first go to the Taiji Hall to reinstate the decree, and then Your Majesty will announce your audience and pay homage."

"Lord Song, please rest assured, my Dashu follows the former Song Dynasty etiquette system, and I still know how the foreign ministers greet the courtesy." Tang Zhengsu said unhurriedly.

Song Zheng knew that the etiquette system of Shu was complete, and Tang Zhengsu and Xue Qimeng were familiar with court affairs, but their responsibilities were just where they had to communicate.

Half an hour later, the Shu delegation entered the imperial city and stopped in front of the Taiji Palace.

Song Zheng greeted the two of them and climbed the white marble steps in front of the Taiji Palace.

"Song Zheng of the Ministry of Rites and Rites was ordered to return from Xishu, and he sent a return to my emperor and the queen mother."

"Xuan."

The high-pitched voice of the money cabinet sounded, Song Zheng straightened his clothes, stepped into the main hall, and after a few steps, Song Zheng knelt on the ground and bowed three times and bowed nine times.

After getting up, Song Zheng quickly glanced at it and saw the scene in the court.

Dressed in purple and red official clothes, he stood in front of the left side, with his beard in his hands, and his bearing was majestic, behind him was Dong Lancheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zhu Zhihua, the superintendent of the imperial history, and others, and half a position was empty in front of the right side, followed by Ji Can, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Xu Yinshun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Guo Xingjia, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. [

Above the main hall, Xiao Ying sat on the right, and the seat belonging to the Queen Mother Huang Jiao was empty, but there was a middle-aged eunuch in black next to her, who was the head of the Queen Mother's Palace on behalf of Huang Jiao.

Why didn't Huang Jiao come, but at this time, Song Zheng couldn't be allowed to think too much.

"Song Zheng of the Ministry of Rites and Rites was ordered to send an envoy to Xishu, but fortunately he was not dishonored." As he spoke, Song Zheng presented the written fold on the road to the top of his head, and after the cabinet full of money to take the fold, Song Zheng roughly described the process of the trip and the results obtained, and finally said: "The envoys Tang Zhengsu and Xue Qimeng, sent by Lang Zhengchun, the king of Shu, are waiting outside the palace gate with the letter of state, asking for an audience."

Xiao Ying nodded again and again, and finally said: "Lord Song entered Shu alone, and he did not disgrace his mission, and he should be rewarded." After that, Xiao Ying gestured to Qian Manji, and Qian Manji immediately took out a yellow silk from his arms, and began to read: "Song Zheng young Yinghua in the Ministry of Rites...... Specially given 3,000 taels of silver, 30 horses of silk, two pairs of jade beads in the South China Sea, to be handed over by the Xuan Envoy, and reused. ”

After Song Zheng kowtowed, he stood on one side, according to his official position, he should stand at the back of the line, but he was a Chengxuan envoy, so he had to stand in the forefront, next to Xiao Tong and Dong Lancheng.

"Grandpa Guo, Lord Dong." Song Zheng bowed deeply to the two and stood in front of them.

"I heard that Xiaolang turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands for rain in Shu Kingdom, which is really a good skill." Xiao Tong smiled and whispered.

"Grandpa Guo praised it falsely, I almost couldn't come back this time, if it weren't for some good luck, I'm afraid I would have died in Bashu." Song Zheng also said in a low voice, the two of them were in front of the car, and they could only whisper to each other.

"The name of the three unique sons, now in Xishu, people don't know, people don't know, I heard that the prince of Shu Lang Bochuan, also called you a teacher, Xiaolang this trip, but I am a big Qi majesty!"

Xiao Tong's words were full of praise, as if he really admired Song Zheng.

Song Zheng smiled bitterly in a low voice: "Grandpa Guo is a tormented boy."

"I just hope that the Dajin Emperor can also call you a teacher, and that Xiaolang can fill the world with a weak crown, hehe, that is the real eternal person."

Song Zheng chuckled in his heart, he couldn't guess what he meant, but he also knew that it was not a good intention, so he immediately curled the corners of his mouth: "Grandpa Guo is very familiar with the affairs of Xishu!" It really surprised the kid, what even the saint didn't know, Grandpa Guo knew. ”

"You ......" Xiaotong's tone was stopped, and then he snorted lightly without smiling, turned his head, and Dong Lancheng next to him saw that he was stunned, his face shook twice, and then he returned to his normal color.

At this time, the Shu envoy stepped into the palace door and saluted: "Foreign Minister Tang Zhengsu (Xue Qimeng), see His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qi."

Everyone's eyes were attracted for a while, only to see that Tang and Xue were dressed in Song official uniforms, Confucian crowns, long hats and wings, quite ancient, most of the people in the court were quite surprised to see the envoys of Shu for the first time, and couldn't help but whisper.

Xiao Ying coughed lightly: "The two of you are exempt from courtesy, and you are flat."

After Tang and Xue thanked them, they stood up and took it, Tang Zhengsu handed over the letter of state to Xiao Ying, since he was going to send an envoy to Shu, the letter of state was naturally handed over by Tang Zhengsu himself, so there was no need for Song Zheng.

After reading the national letter, Xiao Ying said a few polite words to Tang Zhengsu, and at the same time expressed Daqi's attitude, and then Tang Zhengsu read out the gift list.

Compared with the gifts that Song Zheng carried when he went to Shu, this gift list was much more valuable, gold, silver, wealth and jade treasures, there were two large carts, which made many officials nod lightly, although these things could not reach their hands, but Xishu respected Daqi so much, they were still honored.

Of course, there are some people who don't pay attention to these things, just shrug their ears and listen, and some people still have doubts about whether Xishu really cut Jiang Kui.

In the end, Tang Zhengsu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, my commander Jiang Kui, the commander of the Great Shu Yuan Palace, was sentenced for his crimes, and my emperor knew that Jiang Kui was an old official of Daqi, so he ordered us to bring his corpse here, and it was all up to His Majesty to dispose of."
