Chang Ning and Zhao Hu had had old ties, Zhao Hu often suffered losses under Chang Ning's command. He knew that Zhao Hanzhang valued Chang Ning and favored him in many matters, coupled with the fact that the other party always had reasonable grounds, so he didn't want to offend him too much; and Chang Ning also knew that Zhao Hu greatly aided the Ministry of Revenue, and since he was a major taxpayer, he didn't dare tear off their amicable facade.
So the two looked at each other unfavorably, yet were wary of one another, always maintaining a pretense of surface harmony.
At this moment, Chang Ning warmly received Zhao Hu with a smile and softly explained, "The court has separate regulations for geisha, thus temporarily suspending the issuance of city coupons, not specifically aimed at Seventh Grandfather."
