Chapter 267 - 176 Same Name, Same Surname_1
Qian Yixiu returned to her small room and told her mother that Mr. Yu had named their area "Guiyuan."
The moment her mother heard it, she teared up and sobbed softly, "Even outsiders know Yueyue longs for his return every day, so why hasn’t he come back after all these years?"
In Capital City, Liang Jinzhao had invited Song Huaijin, who was on leave from the Imperial College, to Xidelai Grand Restaurant for a meal. He was about to head to Ji’an Province again, and Song Huaijin, who had entered the Imperial College, would no longer be able to accompany him on the journey.
They discussed what gifts to bring for Old Great-grandpa Song and Old Lady Song, and what to give to the other relatives and friends there, including the delightful young siblings.
Song Huaijin then asked in a low voice, "Is Great-grandpa really retiring from his position as Grand Commander and passing his title to your father?"
Liang Jinzhao nodded, "Yes, the Emperor has indeed rejected the proposal. But my grandfather plans to petition again, and in the end, the Emperor will definitely approve."
Song Huaijin expressed his regret, "Great-grandpa is only in his fifties. It’s such a pity for him to retire. Look at Assistant Pan, he’s already sixty-six and still firmly holds his position."
Liang Jinzhao was silent. This was the difference between civil and military officials, both being powerful figures, yet military officials had to be much more cautious.
After the meal, as they had just walked a short distance from the restaurant, they heard someone calling out loudly, "General Qian," as if the General Qian in question hadn’t heard, the man raised his voice and called out again, "Qian Manjiang."
