Chapter 178

Therefore, after doing this, he remembered that [-]% of them were right.

People are like this, once there is positive feedback, they will follow with confidence.

So when Shang Ji saw the corners of Shang Zhiping's mouth slightly raised, he was also happy in his heart.

It's just that he is not very good at saying words of encouragement, as long as he controls himself and does not put pressure on his nephew.

It was the first time for He Shilin to meet these high-ranking officials today, so he also took care to remember them.

Even if I can't remember all of them, there are not many.

The most important thing is to show his face next to Shang Ji. It is not clear how much he remembers, but many people do remember him.

A Juren who can show his face in front of everyone before the scientific examination, seems to have a bright future.

Just as he was talking, he saw new chariots and horses coming not far away.

The word "Guo" was impressively written on it, and one could tell at a glance that someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion had arrived.

This Prime Minister Guo, speaking of it, was also a person who shared life and death with Shang Ji's grandfather and maternal grandfather.

Now both of them have been buried in the ground, and 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 neglect.

Everyone in the general's mansion didn't dare to be slow, so everyone walked two steps quickly and went down the stone steps to meet them.

He was 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 together.

Everyone in the dozen or so people was smiling, and everyone was happy to see it.

"Shaoyu has met Prime Minister Guo, 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.

Therefore, in front of him, there was nothing wrong with Shang Ji claiming that Shaoyu was.

And Prime Minister Guo obviously paid special attention to Marshal Gu's only surviving grandson's blood, so he hurriedly said.

"There is no need to be too polite, we are all one family, don't talk about these two families."

If there hadn't been the erroneous marriage decree back then, the Guo family and the Gu family could really have become a family.

The reason why it is still called a family now is entirely because Queen Guo once recognized Mrs. Gu as her godmother, so she said so.

Shang Ji didn't try to shirk, because of the closeness between the Gu family and the Guo family, he respected the prince a lot.

Everyone in the government knows this.

And since the prince's faction had such a fierce tiger general, many people naturally came to surrender.

Therefore, Prince Shang Ji was also treated as a corporal with respect, and even more intimacy like a brother.

"I heard that your grandmother fell ill a few days ago, is she better now?"

"It's much better, thank you Grandma Guo for your concern."

Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Gu have also been friends for many years, but the connection between them is much less.

But it didn't prevent the two of them caring for each other, so she asked such a question, and Shang Ji also returned.

"That's good. I'm going to talk to her more later. I haven't seen her for many years. I'm thinking about it."

"Grandmother also said that she misses you, why don't we go in and talk about it."

"Okay, let's go in and talk."

Shang Ji invited everyone from the Prime Minister's Mansion to enter the General's Mansion, but before he had gone far, Steward He came to report in a hurry.

"General, His Royal Highness has arrived."

These words made Shang Ji slightly frown, when he wrote the post, he obviously wrote it half an hour late, in order to let the prince come later.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke to tell him to wait for others?

Unexpectedly, the prince came so early.

Instead, Prime Minister Guo smiled and said.

"Have someone send them to see your grandmother first, and I will go with you to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yes."

Prime Minister Guo opened his mouth, and Shang Ji followed his orders.

Therefore, no matter how timid Shang Zhiping was, he had to shoulder the burden at this moment.

He said to Mrs. Guo and the others.

"Please."

Mrs. Guo is not a tricky person either, since her master ordered her to do so, she naturally obeyed.

So he followed Shang Zhiping and took his family to the front hall.

When Shang Ji and Guo Chengxiang hurried back to the gate, they saw a group of royal guards waiting here.

It seemed that all of them were brave and serious, and Shang Ji quickly recognized that it was the prince's carriage.

"It was I who told His Highness the Crown Prince to come at this time, to let other people know how much the royal family attaches importance to the Gu family. Who would dare to take Joe in front of the old lady?"

Hearing what Prime Minister Guo said, Shang Ji was moved for a while.

He invited guests widely in order to make face for the Gu family.

And Prime Minister Guo and the prince arrived early to make face for the Gu family.

Such an attitude made Shang Ji remember in his heart, and he said very gratefully.

"On behalf of Shaoyu's grandmother, I would like to thank His Royal Highness, the Prince, and Prime Minister Guo for his help."

"What are you talking about? It is all thanks to the Gu family that the Daxing Dynasty is today. Otherwise, where would the border be stable, just like the prosperity of Ancheng?"

Prime Minister Guo could say this, but Shang Ji couldn't talk to him.

Otherwise, it would cause trouble for the Gu family, so he just smiled gratefully and immediately greeted him.

The prince came this time, only bringing the princess with him.

The children all 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 clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee and said.

"The last general has met the prince and the concubine."

Prime Minister Guo also saluted, but he was not only the founder of the country but also the prince's grandfather, so he didn't have to kneel.

"The old minister has 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 was a year or two older than the prince, but their temperaments were completely different.

Shang Ji was resolute and serious, but the crown prince was gentle with the humility of a virtuous corporal.

When he saw Shang Ji, the prince smiled and helped him up.

"Rokuro, why should you be so polite? Just stay on your side."

"Thank you, Prince."

Then the prince repeated again.

"Grandpa, you don't have to be polite."

"Thank you, Prince."

When the Crown Princess saw Prime Minister Guo, she also saluted and said respectfully.

"Grandfather is well."

"The princess is well."

When the prince saw the servants of the general's mansion kneeling behind the two, he also said with a smile on his face.

"Today, I'm here to celebrate the housewarming of the General's Mansion, so there's no need to be too polite, let's all be flat."

"Thank you, Prince."

After the uniform voice ended, everyone got up.

And the prince said something jokingly at the moment.

"I was a step too late despite my hurry. After all, my grandfather arrived first."

Prime Minister Guo has a good relationship with the prince's grandson, so he replied when he heard the joke.

"The old minister's house is closer to the general's mansion, so naturally it will be a few minutes earlier. The crown prince came from the East Palace, so of course he has to travel a little longer on the way."
