Chapter 17 The Zhao family has a daughter growing up
After a few days, Zhao Xun returned to Chengguo Duke's Mansion again.
So many things happened in a few days that Zhao Xun felt it was unreal.
I originally wanted to live the life of a playboy, but I was dragged into the center of the whirlpool by an imperial edict.
But as the old saying goes, fighting with others is endless fun.
Zhao Xun is not afraid of being in the center of the storm. He just doesn't want to be in it. But if he is really forced into a desperate situation, Zhao Xun will not give up.
To use a very cool saying from later generations, just fight if you don’t accept it!
But Zhao Xun obviously didn't stay for long, because as soon as he entered the Duke's mansion, the servants shouted at the top of their lungs: "The young master is back!"
"Master, madam, the young master is back!"
"Thank God, the young master is back!"
This made Zhao Xun feel very uncomfortable. Has he been away from home for a long time?
But if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense.
Before Zhao Xun left, he was accused of deceiving the emperor. If he didn't handle it well, his fake death might turn into real death.
If I haven't been back for a few days, there will inevitably be some rumors in the house.
But now that Zhao Xun is back, he has naturally swept away all those rumors.
The boy's shouting naturally attracted Zhao Xun's cheap father, Zhao Yuan, and his mother, Zhao Liushi.
"My son is back..."
With tears in Mrs. Zhao's eyes, she quickly came to Zhao Xun.
In the past few days, she has not thought about food or tea, and has obviously lost a lot of weight.
A son is the flesh that falls off his mother, so this relationship will naturally not be fake.
Zhao Yuan sighed and said: "Just come back. Let's go to the house first and ask the kitchen to make a longevity noodles. Today is Xun'er's birthday."
Zhao Xun was stunned.
No wonder he felt something was wrong with the atmosphere as soon as he entered the mansion. It turned out that today was his birthday.
Children of noble families may seem to be in a good position, but their destiny is actually not in their own hands.
Take Zhao Xun as an example, he was almost blamed for the crime of deceiving the emperor, so his birthday was celebrated.
Of course, the result is good, but it also reminds Zhao Xun to be cautious in the future and never expose the circumstances that others can manipulate at will.
In the feudal empire, there was no such thing as being unreasonable. If you were not careful, your whole family might be on the road together.
Zhao Xun and his father Zhao Yuan were now entering the flower hall, and their parents were naturally interrogated.
Zhao Xun was hesitant before whether to reveal the truth to his parents, but after thinking about it carefully he decided to tell the truth.
Anyway, Emperor Xianlong also said that the matter of joining a bad person can be made clear to his family, and there is no point in Zhao Xun hiding it.
"Father, mother, thanks to the divine grace, my child has now become a serious official."
Zhao Xun was also an official before, after all, he was the eldest son of Duke Cheng.
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Taizu established a whole set of systems. In the Great Zhou Empire, the eldest sons of princes, princes, dukes, marquises, uncles, sons, and other nobles were named crown princes.
But of course there is a difference between this kind of hereditary official status and a position earned through one's own efforts.
As expected, Zhao Yuan smiled happily when he heard this and asked in a harmonious voice: "What government office does my son serve in?"
"Uh, Dad, your qi and blood are flowing smoothly, and you have no problem breathing, right?"
"certainly."
"This makes me feel relieved. My child is now working in the Delinquents' Office."
Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Yuan's face suddenly stopped, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Bad person? Why did Your Majesty ask you to kill the bad person?"
Zhao Xun thought to himself: How long has it been since he cared about this? When he first met the saint, he had been through the gates of hell. He would have burnt incense to save his life.
"Father, in fact, delinquents are not as bad as you think. Your Majesty lets the child go to the delinquent office because he values the child and wants to give the child some experience."
Zhao Xun explained the incident and the details of the investigation to his father in detail, and then Zhao Yuan sighed and shook his head.
"That's all, thunder and rain are all your kindness. But you have to be extremely careful in the bad people's yamen in the future. It is a place of disputes and it is easy for people to gossip."
Zhao Xun quickly responded, "Filial piety and obedience come first. Whatever your parents say, there is nothing wrong with winning first."
Mrs. Zhao Liu choked up and said, "It's a pity that my son has just been crowned and has to fight with those big bosses. You must protect yourself."
"Don't worry, mother, I've remembered it."
"Brother, brother is back!"
At this moment, Zhao Xun heard a sound like a silver bell.
This voice was very familiar to Zhao Xun, and it was undoubtedly his sister Zhao Danshu.
The little Lolita was best friends with her eldest brother. Although it was lunch break, she still endured sleepiness and ran all the way to the flower hall.
"Brother is back, give me a hug!"
The little Loli pounced on Zhao Xun without hesitation, and then sat down on Zhao Xun's lap.
Well…
The little Lolita, who was in her early teens, was not light, so Zhao Xun held back and did not cry out.
Ahem, this weight...it's like a daughter in the Zhao family has just grown up.
"When you come back this time, brother, don't leave again."
The little Loli stared at Zhao Xun innocently with a pair of watery eyes, and Zhao Xun felt like he was about to melt.
Well, Loli is really an otaku killer, and future generations will not deceive me.
It's a pity, it's a pity that this loli is her sister, and she is destined to only be used for love and care.
"Brother, from now on, I have to go to the Yamen for work every day, but I will try my best to find time to come back to see you."
"Well, that's it. Then brother, remember to buy me some candy. I want it to be sweet."
The little lolita is the most greedy, so Zhao Xun can breathe a sigh of relief and let go of her hands and feet to do other things by blocking her mouth with delicious food.
As they chatted, the little Loli started to yawn. Zhao Xun handed her into the hands of the maid, and turned to Zhao Yuan and said: "Father, although the Holy Father has forgiven me of the crime of deceiving the emperor, the case is not completely over. I will
I still have to go back to the Yamen for Bad Persons, and I’m afraid I’ll have to stay in the Yamen for the next few days.”
Zhao Xun does not feel any psychological pressure about living in a work unit.
In his previous life, he was the "beneficiary" of the 996 blessing report. When he was busy, it was common for him to stay up all night and stay in the workplace.
But this obviously does not conform to the ancient concepts.
Although the officials of the Great Zhou Empire had limited resting time, they basically clocked out as soon as the time came.
A top noble like Cheng Guogong Zhao Yuan doesn't even need to check in. He is simply a winner in life.
But the problem is that bad people's yamen are probably that kind of special existence.
The emperor's minions like this can even risk their lives when they are busy, let alone work overtime.
Anyway, the delinquent's yamen also has a wing for sleeping, so it's not a problem to just stay for a few nights.
"After all, my son has grown up and it's time to make his own decisions. If you need anything, just ask the family and my father will do his best to help you."
Somehow, Zhao Xun's eyes felt warm.
He swallowed and said firmly: "Father, mother, don't worry, the child will definitely not let you two down."
