After listening to Song Huan's analysis, he thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Oh well!"
"Everything is decided by His Highness!"
"I just want His Highness to know that everything I do is done willingly."
"because……"
Because this steelmaking plant is run by Prince Rong yourself!
That’s why I’m so concerned about it!
In this case, Shen Mei only dared to think about it in her heart, but did not dare to say it clearly.
The other party is a young talent with a noble status and high position, and he has a well-matched fiancée, so he has a bright future.
But he is just a lowly businessman. Even if he becomes an imperial businessman now, he cannot change this fact.
The difference between him and Prince Rong is like a mountain and a ravine, as different as clouds and mud!
Shen Mei is self-aware, so how can she reveal her true feelings so easily?
After hearing Shen Mei finally agree, Song Huan nodded with relief.
"Miss Shen, that's right!"
"I was the one who led you to become the royal merchant in the first place. I can't really trick you!"
At the moment, the treasury has plenty of money, and the little bit it allocates every month for food expenses is only a drop in the bucket, the tip of the iceberg.
When the time comes, show the assembled musket to Emperor Liang to let him understand the importance of the steelmaking plant, and he will naturally allocate funds willingly.
Until then, let alone allocate funds for the canteen.
I'm afraid that even if he sent a few imperial chefs to cook for these craftsmen, Emperor Liang would be happy with it!
Song Huan and Shen Mei exchanged a few more pleasantries, and soon the well-prepared lunch was distributed.
Shen Mei mustered up her courage and invited Song Huan, "If your highness doesn't mind, please follow me back to my house and have lunch with me!"
Song Huan declined politely: "Thank you, Miss Shen, for your kindness. I appreciate it."
"It's just that I have to go to a family dinner, so I'm really embarrassed!"
"Miss Shen, I have taken the first step!"
Looking at the back of Song Huan galloping on his horse, Shen Mei felt a little disappointed.
Your Highness, whether you know my feelings or not, I am willing to give everything for you silently.
Never regret it!
…
"Uu──"
Song Huan galloped all the way and finally tightened the reins and stopped in front of the gate of a house.
Under the gate, a beautiful figure seems to have been waiting for a long time and is already a little restless.
Seeing Song Huan finally appear, the figure paused for a moment, then flew towards Song Huan.
"Song Lang!"
As soon as Song Huan got off his horse, he was hugged by Cheng Susu who had been waiting for a long time.
Song Huan hugged the person in his arms tightly, but her bones were still as thin, or even thinner.
In her arms, her body was shaking involuntarily. She didn't know whether it was because she was shivering from the cold because she had waited for too long, or because she was crying because her shoulders were twitching.
Song Huan closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed this moment.
It was this hug that gave me a scene where I could express my thoughts during the long nights of mindless sleep.
Song Huan raised his hand and rubbed Cheng Susu's back, and said softly: "Is it possible that my tigress cried with joy after not seeing her husband for too long?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"My husband promises you that he will stay with you from now on and will never leave you alone again!"
Cheng Susu looked up from Song Huan's arms. As expected, the silly girl had turned into a cat-like face from crying.
"Who asked you to come so late? I've been waiting for a long time!"
"Don't come so late next time, do you know?"
This tigress is so cute even when she gets angry!
Song Huan nodded like he was pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, yes!"
"My wife taught me that I will never be late again!"
"If you do this again, then let my wife handle it!"
"OK?"
Cheng Susu finally made a "poof" sound and was amused by Song Huan.
"Glib-tongued guy!"
"Don't let me worry so much anymore!"
Song Huan nodded: "Don't worry, it won't happen again."
"But when I was grounded, did you ever worry that you would have to remain a widow because of me before you even had time to enter the palace..."
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Cheng Susu raised her eyebrows and immediately reached out to cover Song Huan's mouth.
It seemed that she was really angry.
"You're fine, you're not allowed to talk nonsense!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you!"
"Okay, okay!" Song Huan narrowed his eyes and pinched Cheng Susu's soft little face, "I won't talk nonsense anymore!"
"Let's go back and have a meal quickly. Don't keep my father-in-law and the others waiting."
"After lunch, I'll take you out to play!"
"OK?"
Cheng Susu was like a child. When she heard that she wanted to go out to play, her eyes suddenly brightened.
"good!"
"Go back and eat quickly!"
In the main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cheng Xun, his wife Lin, and his son Cheng Tianlin sat around the table, waiting for Song Huan to arrive and have a meal together.
Seeing Cheng Susu and Song Huan coming in, Cheng Xun took the lead and stood up and took a few steps forward to greet them.
"Your Majesty, Cheng Xun, brings his family to pay homage to Prince Rong!"
Song Huan was helpless. After all this time, his father-in-law was still so polite!
However, Cheng Xun was a stubborn and stubborn person. After Song Huan found that he could not change him, he stopped trying.
"Father-in-law, please take a seat quickly!"
"I am late today, so I have to punish myself with three cups of wine first!"
After saying that, Song Huan picked up the wine glass and drank it down.
Cheng Xun was shocked to see Song Huan trying to drink three glasses of wine in a row.
"Your Highness, it doesn't have to be like this!"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Susu smiled and said: "Dad, please leave him alone!"
"I think he is just thirsty and wants to drink a few more drinks."
Song Huan: "..."
This damn girl, why don’t you know yourself so well?
After three glasses of wine, Song Huan's frozen body felt a little warm.
Facing Song Huan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Cheng Tianlin couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Brother, long time no see!"
"I miss you so much!"
Song Huan patted the other party's shoulder: "It's okay, good brother, we just met this morning."
"No!" Cheng Tianlin shook his head insincerely, "I mean, it feels like a long time has passed since the last time I had a drink with my eldest brother and had a long talk."
"I thought……"
Cheng Tianlin hadn't finished speaking, but Song Huan could understand what he meant.
It seemed that during the day when he was banned, there were still people who were genuinely worried about him.
Thinking of this, Song Huan couldn't help but be very moved.
"Tianlin, don't be rude!" Cheng Xun said sternly, making Cheng Tianlin shrink his neck in fright.
Song Huan originally thought that Cheng Xun might have something to say to him about what happened that day.
But what I didn't expect was that Cheng Xun never mentioned the matter, but greeted Song Huan: "Your Highness, the dishes are cold, please eat quickly!"
Looking at Cheng Xun's cautious expression, Song Huan understood that it was not that he was indifferent to him, but that he was afraid that mentioning the matter repeatedly would expose his scars.
It seems that this father-in-law is not bad at communicating with others, but is very considerate and very good at taking care of other people's emotions!
For some reason, Song Huan always felt a rare sense of relaxation when staying with the prime minister's family of four.
It was as if the tight string in my mind finally had a chance to relax.
Perhaps, this is called sincerity between people!
