Chapter 150 Who is An An’s sister?
"Wine?" Song Fugui looked at Song Jinbao in surprise, "Is this the wine the emperor drinks?"
Song Jinbao: "Yeah!"
"Take it out and let me see it!" Song Fugui walked around the box excitedly.
Song Jinbao brought two boxes. He opened one box at random, took out a bottle and handed it to Song Fugui.
Song Fugui looked at the wine bottle with joy, then asked, "Who is this sister An An? Why did she give me a gift? Does this girl like you?"
"Dad, what are you talking about? Sister An An is the Miss Xia who used to be with Brother Mo. Wasn't the recipe for the pastry shop provided by Sister An An?" Song Jinbao explained to Song Fugui.
Song Fugui: "Wait a minute, that girl is not much older than you, why do you call her sister?"
"Well, it's a long story. Anyway, now she's my sister, my godmother's daughter. Oh, and I've found my godfather and godmother over there, they're my sister An An's parents."
Song Jinbao didn't care how surprised his parents were. He wasn't asking for their opinions anyway. He was just informing them.
At this time, several other families also received the wine given by Xia Youan. They were very happy and came to the Duke's Mansion to inquire about the situation.
"Master, General Shan and Censor Xie are here. They are already in the front hall." The butler welcomed the two men to the main hall and hurried over to report.
These two important figures would not easily visit other people's homes. The fact that they came to their house showed that they were very satisfied with the gifts sent by the young master.
"Come with me to the front hall quickly, and take Jinbao with you. I guess I want to ask about the other two." Song Fugui also knew that these two big shots couldn't be looking for him.
During these four years, only Song Jinbao came back frequently, while the other four never came back after they left.
My family said it was impossible not to worry.
It’s just that I don’t have much contact with the Duke’s Mansion on a daily basis, so it’s not appropriate for me to ask about it without permission.
This time, taking advantage of Song Jinbao's gift, I can take the opportunity to make friends with him so that I can inquire about the situation in the future.
"Let me put on the wig first, so as not to scare the two adults."
Song Jinbao quickly found the wig and put it on before following Song Fugui to the front hall.
The Duke couldn't bear to neglect the two of them, so he took Song Jinbao to the front hall as soon as he put on his wig, "General Shan, Mr. Xie, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you!"
General Shan and Censor Xie stood up and bowed. "Your Majesty, excuse me for interrupting you! I'm sorry for coming here without a prior invitation. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
"Thank you for your courtesy, my two lords. Please take a seat!" Song Fugui sat down in the main seat with his plump figure, looking at General Shan and Censor Xie with a smile.
"You two gentlemen are here to inquire about the situation of General Shan and Young Master Xie, right?"
The two exchanged glances. The Duke was a straightforward person, a very pleasant sight for them. "Your Excellency is right, but besides that, we would also like to thank Young Master Song for the gift he brought us."
"That gift was not from me, it was from Sister An An. I just helped bring it over." Song Jinbao explained.
General Shan and Censor Xie had never heard of Sister An An, they had only heard of Xia Youan, Miss Xia, and Sister Xia.
Who is this sister An An?
General Shan looked at Censor Xie, who shook his head, indicating that he didn't know him.
General Shan also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
Censor Xie asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Song, who is this Miss An An? The only person with the character 'An' in their name is Miss Xia Youan. The wine that the Emperor received was also given by Miss Xia."
Song Jinbao also knew that Xia Youan’s identity was difficult to explain. Who would have thought that Sister Xia would become Sister An An?
"Thank you, General Shan, Sister An An is Miss Xia Youan. I know it may seem unbelievable to people, but this is the truth. She is now our Sister An An."
After hearing this, Censor Xie was actually able to accept the truth.
From the time Xia Youan first appeared in front of them fourteen years ago to the time he appeared again eight years ago, he had not changed at all in a full six years. It is not impossible to say that he was well maintained.
But when it appeared for the third time, a full ten years later, there was still no change at all. No matter how well someone took care of themselves, it would be impossible for this to happen.
It only means that these ten years did not exist for Miss Xia at all.
hiss~
Surprising!
General Shan had never seen Xia Youan ten years ago. The first time he saw him was at a palace banquet eight years ago, and the second time was four years ago. He didn't think it was a big deal that he hadn't changed in four years.
But I had heard about the specialness of this Miss Xia a long time ago, so I accepted it calmly.
"Oh? That means Miss Xia is still in Beichuan?" asked General Shan.
I wonder if my silly son is still thinking about that girl, and if the reason he hasn't married her is because of her.
"Yes, it has always been here. The drought in Beichuan was resolved with the help of Sister An An and my godfather. If it weren't for Sister An An's timely appearance, we might not have survived until the drought was resolved."
Censor Xie and General Shan were very curious as they listened to what Song Jinbao said.
What magical power does this Miss Xia have? She can actually solve the drought problem.
You should know that the drought is not only happening in Beichuan in the Great Chu. Several counties in the north have experienced drought problems to varying degrees, but Beichuan is the most serious.
The south is suffering from flood disaster again.
The emperor had a terrible headache this year. If it weren't for the Duke's donations of money and materials, the treasury of the Great Chu would have been emptied.
Unexpectedly, Miss Xia was able to solve the drought problem that had plagued the civil and military officials for a long time.
"Tell us quickly, how did you solve it?" Censor Xie asked impatiently, and General Shan listened attentively.
"It's almost noon. Why don't we eat and chat while we eat? We can also try the wine that Miss Xia sent over. What do you think?"
It was unclear how long this conversation would end, and Song Fugui also wanted to hear about the story of this Miss Xia.
"Well, I'll bother Duke Song then. It's been a few years since I last tasted this wine.
I haven't had it since the Emperor gave me a small cup a few years ago. Now when I think about it, I still feel a little greedy."
General Shan was not particular about trivial matters. He agreed to the Duke of Song's proposal, and Censor Xie was naturally happy to stay.
Lord Xie and General Shan's families did not have Maotai, and Song Jinbao was afraid of being exposed, so he quickly made an excuse to call his father out.
"Dad, take the other box when you drink. The box you just opened was given to you by An An as a gift. They don't have it, and now the truth has been revealed. It will be bad for An An."
When Song Fugui heard that it was specially given to him, he was immediately overjoyed and started thinking about what gift to give in return.
"Is it just me and no one else has it?"
"Not really, the emperor has it too, but he only has that kind, and you have both kinds of wine!" Song Jinbao explained.
My goodness, then isn’t his gift more valuable than the emperor’s?
That has to be hidden!
I need to give Miss Xia a little more as a return gift.
After a while, the servant came to report that the banquet was ready, and Song Fugui led the two adults to the dining hall.
Song Jinbao recounted the recent events in detail, omitting Xia Youan's true origins and only talking about buying grain for disaster relief.
