Chapter 202 Grape Vine Rack [Part 1]

Before Zhao Jin could think about the reason, Song Renzong's car had already arrived outside Baosheng Palace.

Dozens of eunuchs and palace maids, like busy work bees, quickly arranged wooden ladders for the carriage. A roll of red felt rolled to the palace gate of Baosheng Palace under the fiddling of several eunuchs. Yan Shiliang bent down with respect and stood at the door of the carriage. Opened the door, and Song Renzong, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, bent down from the inside. Yan Shiliang quickly reached out to support Song Renzong.

After not seeing each other for three years, Zhao Jin could hardly help but Song Renzong came. Although Song Renzong was not good at first, he was still a little rosy. Now his face was terrible, as if he had just put a layer of foundation on it. He felt empty when he was wearing the dragon robe. He could feel Song Renzong's thin body from the clothes swaying in the wind. His eyes were deeply sunken into his eye sockets, two big black-eyed bags were hanging under his eyes, and a circle of messy beards were hanging on his lips.

It can be seen that Song Renzong has not had a good rest recently.

"Sixth Brother!" Zhao Qian quickly walked up to him.

A glimmer of light shone on Song Renzong's tired face. He reached out to grab Zhao Qian's hand and said happily: "Ah Rang! I haven't seen him for a while, I'm strong!"

After being caught by Song Renzong, Zhao Qian felt more thin.

Zhao Qian sighed slightly in his heart, but he knew that Song Renzong was a person with strong self-esteem. He showed sympathy at this time and would not make Song Renzong feel happy.

Pretending to be happy, Zhao Qian said, "Arang was also very happy to see Brother Six. But it was windy outside. Let's talk inside first!"

Song Renzong nodded happily.

Before entering, Song Renzong naturally wanted to salute Concubine Yang. Concubine Yang's eyes for Song Renzong were quite complicated, and she felt that she couldn't help but feel like she was so angry.

In fact, in order to get rid of the influence from the harem, Song Renzong made many actions to restrict Concubine Yang Shu. Zhao Qian could not say who was right or wrong in this matter. The only thing he could say was that the shadow left by Liu E was too big!

The group returned to Baosheng Palace and talked for a few words. Concubine Yang Shu took a nap and went down to rest.

Zhao Qian sighed in his heart. I don’t know when the relationship between Concubine Yang Shu and Song Renzong became so embarrassing. Zhao Qian also felt that Song Renzong was not very happy with this place where Liu E traces were left everywhere (Liu E once lived here). Zhao Qian suggested: "Sixth brother, how about strolling around the garden behind?"

Song Renzong was silent and gently slighted his head.

When he walked under a vine stand, Song Renzong signaled to sit down like this. Zhao Qian had no objection. Yan Wenying had already cleverly asked the eunuch to follow with a rattan chair. There was no need to wait at this time, the eunuch behind had already lifted two rattan chairs up.

Zhao Qian and Song Renzong sat down opposite each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to say. Under the vines, only the whimpering sound of the cold wind blowing was left.

Song Renzong took the lead in breaking the silence atmosphere. "Eunuch Yan, please put the curtains on it! The wind is strong!"

"Yes!" Yan Wen was ordered to get the order and quickly ordered people to bring cloth and bamboo poles and surround the curtains nearby.

Song Renzong glanced at him, lowered his head and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, and stroked the cold-proof wool coat that was draped over his body. Song Renzong said slowly: "If you don't take the lead, you don't know the difficulties! In the past, when his mother (Liu E) was there, he only thought that he could take charge of the rule one day and hide behind his mother without anything. When he had something, he would nod, but just put a jade seal on his face. Today he knew how hard he worked for her!"

Zhao Qian still didn't say anything, but just raised his head and looked at the grape vine frame. It was just after the cold winter, and the vines only sprouted tender buds, which was not enough to block the spring sun. The sunlight sprinkled on Zhao Qian unscrupulously, warm and mixed with the remaining cold wind in the cold winter.

Song Renzong seemed to not care about Zhao Jin's attitude, and even if Zhao Jin was listening, he seemed to ignore it. He said quietly, as if venting the pressure of recent days. "In the court, some people would say that the officials should not do this. The officials did this wrong, but they would not say that the officials should do this! Without any responsibility, they would pick bones in the eggs! I know that Lu Tanfu and Alan have a bad relationship, but Lu Tanfu is fine, he can do things and do things well! Especially now, the situation in the Song Dynasty is very bad. In October last year, Li Yuanhao sent fifty horses, each of which was the best northwest horse. But I was not blind, and I knew it was just Li Yuanhao's delaying strategy. The Song Dynasty had no money and food, and the literati below were unwilling to fight, so I pretended to be stupid and accepted the tribute, and each horse was given thirty silence, which was considered a gift!"

Shaking his head, Song Renzong smiled bitterly: "This matter has hurt Qiu Ba's heart. The Zong family sent people to complain. Li Yuanhao attacked the Song Dynasty twice last year and killed nearly 10,000 soldiers and civilians. Are these worth fifty horses? Each horse also gave thirty stalks. According to calculations, the court did not lose any real profit! It is said that the Western Army has a lot of opinions about me. If this anger is not calmed, it will not work. In a few years, the Western Conference will probably start a war!"

The shadows of the vine frame fall crisscrossingly on the fine sand, slanting and light, outlining a colorful picture of vicissitudes.

"Sixth Brother!" Zhao Qian said relaxedly.

Song Renzong looked at Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin leaned against the rattan chair, with his wide body straightened the rattan chair back. "I'm not too clear about foreign affairs, so it's hard to say anything, but I still know some of the situation in China. This year, it seems that life is much harder, and even my mother's food and clothing are not enough. I don't think I have much of my 300,000 yuan, right?"

Song Renzong was stunned for a moment, a blush flashed across his pale face, ashamed! The brother used his younger brother's money and didn't even tell him. He didn't know what to say at this time. "Well... well...ah..."

These messy voices were scattering, probably Song Renzong didn't know what he was trying to say just now.

Zhao Qian sighed and said, "That 300,000 yuan is what my younger brother gave to the sixth brother! Alang is just asking for the sixth brother here!"

Because of guilt, Song Renzong did not ask anything this time, so he made a promise readily. "No matter what Alang wants, I will agree here!"

Zhao Qian did not make any requests to make Song Renzong embarrassed, but said quietly: "I just hope that three thousand guans will be taken out of this money as the daily basis for the mother and queen in the next year."

Although I was relieved, I felt a little embarrassed. "There is no problem with this matter, it's just Ah Rang, what's the request?"

"Well! Brothers are not merchants!" Zhao Qin looked at Song Renzong sincerely.

"Ah Rang!..." Song Renzong looked at Zhao Jin in emotion, his voice choked with a little sob. After just spitting out two words, he couldn't say anything afterwards.

ps: Today is still two thousand words, and I was cheated by the department head. I originally agreed to have a holiday, but I didn’t sleep or write, waiting to code at night, but suddenly I said I was going to work. It’s a cheating father! ~
