Chapter 1091: Chapter 1090: Brought Home an Ancestor

He generously said, “Just these? No problem! As your father, I agree with all of them! This is all my duty!”

“As I mentioned earlier, we’re from the countryside, where etiquette might be lacking, there might be neglect, and things might not align with the rules of the Duke’s Mansion. The people at the Duke’s Mansion shouldn’t mock us, and they definitely shouldn’t bully my wife and mother-in-law because of this!” Song Chongjin slowly said.

Song Hong thought for a moment, and it wasn’t a problem, just being polite on the surface. This was exactly what the women in the Duke’s Mansion’s inner courtyard were best at, surely they wouldn’t embarrass them face-to-face.

He nodded his head readily.

“Also, my wife and mother-in-law are people from the countryside, straightforward and outspoken, inexperienced. Sometimes they might see things they don’t understand or say things that aren’t nice to hear. But I know, they mean no harm! So, after entering the residence, if there’s anything wrong with their words, everyone should be tolerant and not nitpick on them! Otherwise, if they’re scared, how can they live peacefully in that residence? If they don’t live peacefully, how can I, as a husband and son-in-law, have the spirit to participate in the Imperial Spring Examination, to socialize outside?” Song Chongjin continued.

He had something to say, but didn’t know if he should say it!

Is this recognizing ancestors and returning to the family? This is acknowledging a bunch of ancestors returning, isn’t it? Recognizing three at once?

Listen to this, what kind of talk is this: the people of the Duke’s Mansion shouldn’t mock and bully those two country women.

Yet if those two country women say something unpleasant, the people of the Duke’s Mansion shouldn’t mind and should be tolerant?

His advantageous son is even threatening him, righteously, that if he doesn’t agree, he won’t have the spirit to participate in the Imperial Spring Examination or to socialize?

If he doesn’t participate in the Imperial Spring Examination or socialize, what is the point of bringing him back?

Song Hong almost laughed in anger. For more chapters visit novel·fiɾe·net

He was somewhat forced by Song Chongjin to give in.

Little brat, good! Think you can push your father to give up ? Dream on! In this lifetime, he, Song Hong, has gone through storms and rains, what hasn’t he seen, what wolves, tigers, or leopards hasn’t he fought, what monsters haven’t he unmasked?

He doesn’t believe it, can’t subdue this brat to be obedient!

At this moment, Song Hong gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Song Chongjin was a bit disappointed, thinking that Song Hong was so angry that he’d turn and leave, but instead, he agreed to everything?

Since he agreed, then the remaining conditions could all be stated at once, right?

Next, Song Chongjin scattered a lot of demands, like once Wang Yongzhu enters the residence, she should manage the affairs of the courtyard, no one else should think about interfering.

Like they are outsiders entering, unfamiliar with the people in the residence, should not interact unnecessarily.

Like they don’t understand the morning and evening greetings rule in the backyard. Since the head mother is virtuous and kind, presumably won’t mind. It suffices to visit once at the beginning, middle, and end of each month. She neither gave birth to him nor raised him, don’t dream of having his wife serve like a real mother-in-law, even his own mother hasn’t enjoyed such service.

Like his own wife is restless and has businesses outside, as long as she wants to go out, she can go anytime, don’t stop her.

And such like, he said over ten items, finally adding a sentence: If there’s any inconvenience after arriving in the residence, he’ll bring it up then.

Song Hong first felt increasingly irritated, if not for his deep sophistication, he might have stormed out.

But the more he listened, the more his anger dissipated. Although these demands were scattered, it was clear that this advantageous son was meticulous in thought.

Recognizing ancestors and returning to the family, becoming the grand eldest son of the Duke’s Mansion, an immense joy for others, didn’t muddle his head, instead he was very clear-headed and rational.

Holding a cautious heart towards the Duke’s Mansion he was about to enter.

Not to mention other things, just this calmness, this temperament, made Song Hong suppress all his unhappiness.

Frankly speaking, although Song Hong viewed with a father’s benevolent eye, his own children are always good in his eyes. Without comparison there’s no hurt, yet looking at the few close by in the residence, compared to those useless ones in other families, they all seemed pleasing enough.

But comparing with Song Chongjin, they were far inferior.

Song Chongjin was the already shining unpolished gem, while his own few were just some pieces of hopefully decent stones.

At this moment, Song Hong felt both delighted and somewhat defeated, among so many sons, only Song Chongjin, who wasn’t raised by his side, resembled himself the most.

While the other sons resembled their biological mothers more than their own father.

Song Hong couldn’t help but think, if, if the Qi Family hadn’t encountered trouble back then, after marrying Qi Huan, the children they bore wouldn’t they be as excellent as Chongjin? Carrying the blood of both Song and Qi Families, inheriting the advantages of both?

But this was just a fleeting thought, passing swiftly.

Song Hong gathered his thoughts, looking at Song Chongjin with eyes full of intensity. Such a good sapling, his own flesh and blood, with proper training and careful guidance, eventually, one day, he can elevate the Song Family to a higher level!

Song Chongjin was stared at by Song Hong’s intense gaze, causing a shiver down his spine.

Nonetheless, Song Hong agreed to all these conditions proposed by Song Chongjin in one go.

Finally, he said: “Since you and I have come to an agreement, prepare these days, don’t be flustered then. Pack some personal belongings, those large bulky things aren’t necessary. The residence has everything, you won’t be lacking anything!”

Song Chongjin reluctantly nodded.

Song Hong stood up and patted Song Chongjin’s shoulder: “Alright! You’ve posed so many challenges to your old man, your old man has to go back and smooth the way for you! Study well, don’t worry about anything else, your old man is here for you!”

Saying this, he swiftly turned and went out.

Outside, the personal soldiers observing Lord Duke walking out, though with a stern face, couldn’t suppress the joy between his eyebrows, even his steps were brisk.

Suddenly realizing, surely the Lord Duke’s wish has come true, the young master is returning to the ancestry.

Those bold enough approached to ask.

Got a tacit confirmation from Song Hong.

The personal soldiers immediately came forward to congratulate, knowing full well how much effort Lord Duke had put in to bring back the young master, finally able to reunite father and son, all felt happy for him.

Song Hong smiled and kicked the nearest personal soldier, “Alright, alright! When you return, everyone gets an extra month’s wages! Let’s go, return! That little rascal has given his dad quite some challenges!”

The personal soldiers saw the disdain on Song Hong’s lips, but couldn’t hide the happiness in his eyes, all crowding forward to jest: “This is also our young master not treating you as an outsider, not being polite with you!”

“Isn’t it, if the son is in trouble, naturally find the biological father. Young master having been outside for years, now finally having a father and relying on him, being so straightforward shows he truly acknowledged you!”

These words made Song Hong even happier, thinking it also made sense.

If Song Chongjin raised no requests, that’d be estranged!
