At first, Song Yuan did not want to bring Rong Ting out for a meal. After all, he had always disliked her interacting with strange men. Although he had changed a lot and changed his way of thinking, he would still throw a tantrum. However, on second thought, it seemed even more inappropriate to leave him alone at home, right? Beijing was not like her hometown. She was already familiar with the neighbors in her hometown. Here, she was unfamiliar with the people and the place. It was almost the New Year, and some people from all walks of life were starting to get restless.
If she wanted to bring Rong Ting along, she had to tell him in advance. Otherwise, if he threw a tantrum again, it would inevitably be awkward. Moreover, she had to discuss the matter of learning calligraphy with him.
Beijing was a heating area. At night, after both mother and son had showered, they were very warm in their thin pajamas. Sitting on the sofa, Rong Ting was still using his iPad to watch Animal World. There was no projector in the house, so it was not that convenient, so she could only put him up with it for the time being.
Song Yuan wanted to say something several times, but hesitated.
Rong Ting helplessly pressed the pause button and looked at Song Yuan. "Mother, do you have something to say? Just say it."
"Gugu, do you still remember the day I gave you a calligraphy practice manual? That was given to you by my friend. He's a friend that I've only known for a short while. Mom wants to treat him to a meal tomorrow. I want to bring you along. "
"En, a man or a woman?"
Child, do you have to be so good at grasping the main point! This made it impossible for her to muddle through even if she wanted to.
Song Yuan still chose to tell the truth. "Well, it's an uncle. This uncle is really good and has helped me before. Once, when I had a gathering with my university friends, he also paid for our bill. I always felt that I owed him a meal. At that time, I wanted to transfer the money to him, but he didn't accept it. So I told him that I would treat him to a meal next time if there was a chance. As a person, you can't go back on your words, right? "
Rong Ting grunted. "Mother's words are reasonable. Then let's go eat together."
The current Gugu was really very reasonable. He had improved a lot. This made Song Yuan very excited.
"There's one more thing I'd like to ask for your opinion. As I said just now, this uncle is very nice. He knows that you like calligraphy and can write well, so he helped to contact a very good and famous calligrapher. He can help us to meet that calligrapher. If fate allows, you can also learn from that calligrapher."
Rong Ting finally realized that something was wrong. He had always been sharp. According to his mother's personality, this was a good thing. She would definitely agree without discussing it with him. She was also like this before. She helped him sign up for a bunch of experiential courses without asking him first. Why would she discuss it with him this time? She even seemed to let his opinion take precedence.
"And then?" Rong Ting asked, "Does mother have any concerns?"
Song Yuan let out a sigh of relief. At this time, her son was smart and easy to communicate with. She did not beat around the bush and directly said, "When I first met this uncle, I didn't know who he was. I only felt that he was very easy to talk to, and he was very nice and gentle. Later on, when your grandfather saw me with him, he told me that he was not an ordinary person. The capital is different from other cities. The situation here is much more complicated than our hometown. He is a member of a very famous family in the capital … Oh, I heard that people in the circle also call him Crown Prince Xie. Usually, if he can be called Crown Prince Xie, his background is not simple. This kind of rich and powerful family is very complicated. Your grandfather told me not to get too close to him. He was afraid that I would get into trouble for no reason. "
Seeing that Rong Ting was deep in thought, she continued: "This is a very rare opportunity. I also know that it will be of great help to your future, but I am also worried that it will bring some unnecessary trouble. Gugu, what do you think? "
Rong Ting was silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at her, "Mother, I know a sentence. Father Emperor often teaches me, and that is, one who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions."
She did not know when it started, but Rong Ting did not refer to himself as "Gu" in front of her. Sometimes, he would refer to himself as "Erchen", but Song Yuan felt that it was too dramatic and made him change it. Now, he only referred to himself as "I" in front of her or on necessary occasions.
"Oh?" Song Yuan raised her eyebrows. Was this how His Majesty the Emperor taught his children?
"The uncle that mother is talking about is from a rich and powerful family in the capital. How did he meet mother?"
Song Yuan recalled for a moment. "There was a rear-end collision. He was behind me and helped me once. After that, we bumped into each other on the bus. He was staying in a hotel near our house. At that time, he had something to do near my company."
"Is there such a coincidence in this world? He is from a rich and powerful family in the capital. Why didn't he take a car when he was outside? Why did he take the bus? "
"Well, he later told me that because he was injured before and lost some of his memories. When he saw me, he felt that I was very familiar and wanted to get to know me to see if he could remember some things."
"That makes sense. This person indeed has ulterior motives." Rong Ting frowned, "No matter what the reason is, mother, I advise you not to get too close to this person. Just as grandfather said, this person is rich and noble. It is fine if he has good intentions, but if he has ulterior motives again, mother will definitely not be able to deal with him."
"I think so too. What about learning calligraphy?" Song Yuan slowly became like many mothers. She couldn't help but think about Rong Ting first. She wanted to try anything that was good for her child, but she still couldn't make up her mind on this matter.
"Mother, I once heard father say that if you want to get something from a person, first you have to lower the other party's vigilance. Second, you have to throw out the bargaining chips that he desperately wants. Finally, you can catch him in one fell swoop. If grandfather hadn't accidentally met him, I'm afraid mother would have been unguarded against him. He has already done the first step. Now, learning calligraphy is his bargaining chip. He must also know how important I am to mother and that mother wants me to learn calligraphy well." Rong Ting pursed his lips and looked at Song Yuan worriedly, "Mother, you can't let your guard down. You can't trust outsiders easily."
Although Song Yuan felt that Rong Ting was exaggerating, she still sighed, "Are all children in ancient times so powerful? Or are children born in the royal family born to be able to fight in the palace? You are much more powerful than me. If someone like me transmigrated to ancient times, I probably wouldn't survive more than half an episode."
She was able to transmigrate to ancient times and become the Empress. God really gave her a golden finger.
Rong Ting laughed when he heard that, but after laughing, he said to Song Yuan very seriously, "Mother, I don't want you to force yourself for me. Don't feel that it's a pity. As the saying goes, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise. You can't sugar coat it."
"Alright then. After tomorrow's meal, I will directly reject him and not contact him in the future."
"Mother is very smart." Rong Ting praised.
It wasn't something to be proud of to be praised for being smart by a five or six-year-old child.
Rong Ting was still sighing with emotion, "I didn't expect the people here to be so crafty. This person must be harboring evil intentions. "
Song Yuan was amused by his words.
Although she couldn't see through Mr. Xie's intentions, she could feel that he didn't have any malicious intentions. However, when she thought about his family background, it seemed that there was no need to continue to contact him.
***
Song Yuan arranged to meet Yung Heng at a famous mutton hotpot restaurant near the neighborhood. Winter had arrived, and eating hot mutton hotpot was also a kind of enjoyment.
It just so happened that the soup base of the hotpot wasn't spicy, so it was very suitable for bringing children there.
She received a message from him asking if she had booked a private room.
A private room? It didn't seem necessary for two adults and a child, right? However, since he had brought it up, she naturally had to arrange it properly. She immediately called the restaurant and booked a small private room.
Song Yuan had specially arranged for parent-child outfits. She happened to see down jackets when she was shopping some time ago, so she bought one for herself and one for Rong Ting.
They were both wearing red down jackets. It was warm and festive to wear, and it was very much like the atmosphere of winter and the New Year.
Rong Ting was wearing a woolen hat. Looking at him now, he no longer looked like a child from ancient times. He was no different from the handsome and cute little boys of modern times. However, his back was very straight. After all, he had been the Crown Prince for many years. He had an aura that was innate.
"Our Gugu is so handsome!" Song Yuan seriously sized up Rong Ting before leaving. "I'm very happy to know that such a handsome boy is my son!"
Rong Ting put his hands in the pockets of his down jacket and glanced at Song Yuan. He barely suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up. "Mother, you don't have to flatter me. I won't throw a tantrum today. I won't say anything. I'll just bury my head and eat."
"Remember to call for help. It'll be more polite that way. In our place, children have to be polite and respect their elders. "
"I understand."
Fine, this child couldn't take compliments at all.
She was long-winded, and he was already impatient and referred to himself as "I" again.
The hotpot restaurant wasn't far from the neighborhood. It was only a ten-minute walk. The weather was good today. Even though the sun had already set and the sky was dark, it wasn't too cold to walk on the road. Song Yuan didn't call for a taxi. Instead, she walked there with Rong Ting.
Along the way, she even bought Rong Ting the candied haws that he had been longing for.
Song Yuan looked at his satisfied expression when he ate the candied haws. She thought that perhaps this was the life that he wanted to live. She wanted to take good care of Gugu and make sure that he grew up healthy and happy.
When they arrived at the restaurant, they realized that it wasn't a weekend, nor was it the peak tourist season. There weren't many customers. She and Rong Ting were led by the waiter to a small private room on the second floor.
The private room wasn't very big. It could only fit one table. The space for free movement was almost negligible.
Yung Heng hadn't arrived yet, and Song Yuan didn't want to rush him. It was almost rush hour, and he might be stuck in a traffic jam if he rushed over from somewhere else.
Worried that Rong Ting would be hungry, Song Yuan ordered a bowl of zhajiang noodles to fill his stomach first.
Just as the zhajiang noodles were served and Song Yuan helped to mix it, the door of the private room was opened. Song Yuan subconsciously looked up.
Yung Heng was tall, and the small private room was a little cramped for him. He was still gentle and elegant. He took the initiative to apologize to Song Yuan. "Miss Song, I'm sorry that I'm late."
Song Yuan stood up to welcome him. Seeing that he was so polite, she smiled and waved her hand. "It's okay. It's very congested at this time. Hurry up, I haven't ordered yet. I'll ask the waiter to come in now."
After saying this, she turned her head and glanced at Rong Ting.
She found that Rong Ting was staring at her in a daze.
Song Yuan tugged at him and reminded him in a low voice, "Gugu, quickly call him uncle."
Rong Ting couldn't believe his eyes. He stared at Yung Heng with a shocked expression. "Father!" quot;
