Chapter 178 The Prince Arrives
So, after doing this, he remembered that 90% of it was right.
People are like this. Once they receive positive feedback, they will become more confident.
So when Shang Ji saw the corners of Shang Zhiping's mouth raised slightly, he felt happy.
It's just that he is not good at saying words of encouragement, so he just needs to control himself and not put pressure on his nephew.
He Shilin met these dignitaries for the first time today, so he took note of them carefully.
Even if I can’t remember them all, there are quite a few.
The most important thing is that he showed his face next to Shang Ji. He didn't remember exactly how much he did, but many people remembered him.
A person who can show his face in front of everyone before taking the scientific examination seems to have a bright future.
Just as he was talking, he saw a new carriage and horses coming not far away.
The word "Guo" is clearly written on it, and you can tell at a glance that someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion has arrived.
This Prime Minister Guo is also someone who shared life and death with Shang Ji's grandfather and maternal grandfather.
Now both of them have fallen asleep, but Prime Minister Guo is still escorting the emperor in the court, so he can be regarded as the most eye-catching one among the founding fathers of the Daxing Dynasty.
Therefore, Shang Ji did not dare to be lazy.
The general's mansion did not dare to be slow, so everyone quickly walked two steps to the stone steps to greet him.
He is a little more respectful than other congratulators.
Sure enough, today Prime Minister Guo not only came by himself, but also brought his wife, children, grandchildren and daughters-in-law with him.
Everyone in the dozen or so people was smiling, and everyone was happy to see it.
“Shaoyu has met Prime Minister Guo. I hope you are well.”
Prime Minister Guo was able to entrust his children to the Gu family in the early years, so he naturally had a very good relationship with Marshal Gu.
Hence, in front of him, there was nothing wrong for Shang Ji to call himself Shao Yu.
Prime Minister Guo obviously paid special attention to the bloodline of Marshal Gu’s remaining grandson, so he hurriedly said.
“No need to be too polite, we are all from the same family, don’t speak the language of these two families.”
If it hadn't been for that strange marriage decree, the Guo family and the Gu family would really have become a family.
The reason why they are still called a family today is entirely because Queen Guo once recognized Mrs. Gu as her godmother, so she said so.
Shang Ji did not shirk the blame, and because of the close relationship between the Gu family and the Guo family, he also had high regard for the prince.
This is known to everyone in the court.
Since the prince's faction has such a fierce tiger general, naturally many people will come to surrender.
Hence, Prince Shang Ji was treated with courtesy and courtesy, and even treated with more intimacy than a brother.
“I heard that your grandmother fell ill a few days ago. Is she feeling better now?”
“Much better, thank you Grandma Guo for your concern.”
Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Gu have also been friends for many years, but they have much less contact between them.
But it didn’t stop the two of them from caring about each other, so she asked this question, and Shang Ji also responded.
"That's good. I want to talk to her more later. I haven't seen her for many years and I miss her a lot."
“Grandma also said that she misses you. How about we go in and talk.”
“Okay, then go in and talk.”
Shang Ji invited everyone from the Prime Minister's Palace to the General's Palace, but before they had gone far, Butler He came to report in a hurry.
“General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived.”
These words made Shang Ji frown a little. When he posted the post, he obviously wrote it half an hour late in order to let the prince arrive later.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a joke to ask him to wait for others?
Who would have thought that the prince would come so early.
Instead, Prime Minister Guo next to him smiled and said.
"Let someone send them to see your grandmother first, and I will go with you to welcome the Crown Prince."
"yes."
Prime Minister Guo spoke, and Shang Ji followed his instructions. Therefore, no matter how timid Shang Zhiping was, he still had to shoulder the burden at this moment.
Said to Mrs. Guo and others.
“Please.”
Mrs. Guo is not a tricky person. Since her master has given this order, she will naturally obey it.
So he followed Shang Zhiping and took his family straight to the front hall.
When Shang Ji and Prime Minister Guo hurried back to the gate, they saw a group of royal guards waiting here.
Everyone looked brave and serious, and Shang Ji quickly recognized that it was the prince's chariot and horse.
"I told His Highness the Crown Prince to come at this time, just to let others know how much the royal family attaches importance to the Gu family. I don't think anyone dares to take Joe in front of the old lady?"
Hearing what Prime Minister Guo said, Shang Ji was moved.
He invited a lot of guests to show face to the Gu family.
Prime Minister Guo and the Crown Prince arrived early to show face to the Gu family.
Shang Ji remembered this attitude in his heart and said with great gratitude.
“Shaoyu would like to express his gratitude to His Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of his grandmother, and to Prime Minister Guo for his help.”
"What can I say? The success of the Daxing Dynasty today is all due to the Gu family. Otherwise, there would be no stability on the border and the prosperity of Ancheng."
Prime Minister Guo can say this, but Shang Ji can't talk to him.
Otherwise, it would cause trouble for the Gu family, so he just smiled gratefully and immediately went to greet him.
The prince came this time and only brought the princess with him.
The children stayed in the East Palace and were taken care of by the nuns.
After seeing the two of them getting off the carriage, Shang Ji knelt down on one knee and said with his fists clasped.
“The general has seen the prince and the princess.”
Prime Minister Guo also followed suit, but as he was a founding veteran and the prince's grandfather, he didn't have to kneel.
“I have seen the prince and the princess.”
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess attended the ceremony today dressed in bright yellow attire, showing royal majesty and everyone was sincerely convinced.
In terms of age, Shang Ji is one or two years older than the prince, but their temperaments are completely different.
Shang Ji was resolute and serious, but the prince was gentle and had the humility of a polite and virtuous corporal.
When he saw Shang Ji, the prince smiled and helped him stand up.
“Why should Liulang be so polite? Just stay on your own.”
“Thank you, Prince.”
The prince then repeated it again.
“Grandpa, there’s no need to be polite.”
“Thank you, Prince.”
When the Crown Princess saw Prime Minister Guo, she also gave a half salute and spoke respectfully.
“Grandpa is well.”
“The princess is well.”
The prince said with a smile on his face when he saw the servants of the General's Mansion kneeling behind the two of them.
“Today, I’m here to congratulate you on the relocation of the General’s Mansion, so there’s no need to be too polite, just be on your own.”
“Thank you, Prince.”
After this uniform voice ended, everyone stood up.
The prince said something jokingly at this moment.
“I was a step too late even though I was hurrying to hurry up. In the end, my grandfather arrived first.”
Prime Minister Guo had a very good relationship with the prince’s grandson, so when he heard the joke, he replied.
“The old minister’s house is close to the general’s palace, so it’s natural to go a little earlier. The prince comes from the East Palace, so he will have to walk a little longer on the way.”
