Zhao Song personally escorted Zhao Hu to the Ten-mile Pavilion outside the city, repeatedly urging along the way, "Once you reach Luoyang, speak well with Zicheng, don't always annoy him."
Zhao Hu replied helplessly, "Fifth Brother, am I his father, or is he mine?"
"You get upset at the slightest comment. When will you change this temper?" Zhao Song continued, "You're so old now; can't you be a bit more gentle? The Third Lady has a firm temperament too; remember to yield to her, don't always argue. If I'm not around and she does something to you, no one can stop her."
Zhao Song still remembered when Zhao Hanzhang first met Zhao Hu, she dared to drag him along with Zhao Changyu to accompany the latter in burial. Speaking of firmness, don't be fooled by her constant smile; her temper was much tougher than Zhao Hu's.
Zhao Hu could bend and yield somewhat, so Zhao Song advised Zhao Hu, once in Luoyang, to bend more often and show restraint.
