"Hahaha, that's good! A sparrow understands the ambition of a swan. From now on, our Zhao family will be relying on you!"
The two of them walked into the dining hall laughing and chatting.
My aunt came up to meet me and said, "Brother Tian, why are you coming back now?"
Brother Tian is the middle-aged aunt’s husband, Zhao Tian.
That young man is Zhao Churan's older brother, Zhao Zishan.
The two of them entered in official uniforms and suddenly saw Xia Qingchen with an unfamiliar face.
Zhao Tian smiled in surprise: "Is this Xia Qingchen's nephew from Yun Gucheng?"
Zhao Tian naturally knew about his coming.
Xia Qingchen was reasonable and measured, and smiled back: "My nephew, Xia Qingchen, has met my uncle."
He took out a jade ring and said, "Father knows that my uncle likes jade products, so he specially selected a jade ring and gave it to my uncle."
Yungu City is remote and there are no fine jade products.
This piece is already a top-quality item in Yungu City, and Xia Yuan bought it at a high price.
Normally he would be reluctant to buy it himself, but now in order to prevent Xia Qingchen from being looked down upon when living under someone else's roof, he spent all his efforts to buy a good jade ring and give it away.
Zhao Tian took it and looked at it, his eyes were very dull.
If you wear this jade ring in a small town, you may have some status.
But in the imperial capital, it was too ordinary.
As a patrol officer, he wore it, which completely degraded his status and was laughed at by his colleagues.
After all, Xia Qingchen's father was from a small town and couldn't even give away anything.
I was not very satisfied in my heart, but on the surface I still accepted it with a smile: "Yes, I have the intention."
Xia Qingchen looked at Zhao Zishan and simply said hello: "Cousin."
Zhao Zishan nodded expressionlessly, with no intention of talking to him.
The group sat down to eat.
Zhao Tian and Zhao Zishan, father and son, kept talking about things in the imperial capital or the palace.
Xia Qingchen ignored it like air.
Only my aunt didn't want to ignore Xia Qingchen and kept putting vegetables in his bowl and chatting with him while eating.
Zhao Churan frowned slightly, unable to see through it.
When she lived with her mother in Nanxia Mansion, her uncle never treated her like this.
"Father, why did you come back today? My cousin has been waiting for you for a long time." She deliberately created an opportunity for her father to talk to her cousin.
Zhao Tian just stopped talking to Zhao Zishan and said to Xia Qingchen with a smile: "I'm busy with business today, so I'm late."
There was no intention of continuing the conversation.
"What official business?" Zhao Churan continued to ask.
Zhao Zishan on the side said stiffly: "Chu Ran, my father occupies an important position, and his official duties are all confidential. Is this something you, a girl, can ask casually?"
My aunt quickly interrupted: "Chu Ran, don't ask anymore."
From a simple conversation, Xia Qingchen had already figured out the status of their family.
Zhao Tian and his son dominate the family, and my aunt and Zhao Churan obviously have little status.
Zhao Tian waved his hand and said: "Zishan, we are all members of our own family, don't make things so difficult!"
He paused and told them very seriously: "A big event happened in the imperial capital today! I tell you that it is okay, but it must not be leaked to the outside world. This is a secret, do you understand?"
Auntie and Zhao Churan looked solemn and alert.
Xia Qingchen thought for a while and said, "Uncle, let me avoid it."
If it is something too important, it would be better for him, an outsider, not to be present.
"No, just don't tell anyone." Zhao Tian said very generously.
After taking a sip of wine, Zhao Tian pulled his tight collar, exhaled, and said in a serious tone: "Do you know why I came back so late today?"
"Why?" Zhao Zishan also asked curiously.
Zhao Tian's expression became cautious: "Because today, a big man with eyes and hands reaching the sky came to the imperial capital!"
Usually, only people from small towns would call people from the imperial capital big shots.
Few imperial capitals call outsiders great people.
"When our patrol department was about to change shifts, we suddenly received an urgent letter from the commander of the guards, requesting all people in the patrol department to immediately increase their vigilance and maintain order in each street."
"I was busy until just now, and the alert was lifted."
"I heard from my superior that it was Prince Yunshu who ordered the imperial guards to welcome a big shot."
Hearing this, Zhao Zishan and his aunt took a deep breath.
"Prince Yunshu gave the order?" Zhao Zishan looked in awe.
When he was in the palace, he understood even more how high the status of Prince Yunshu was!
The person he can order to welcome is definitely a big shot!
Zhao Tiandao: "Furthermore, I heard that Prince Yunshu originally wanted to greet him in person, but he was still on his way back to the imperial capital, so he rushed five hundred miles away and ordered someone to greet him on his behalf."
Hearing this, the two of them were shocked again.
The prince plans to greet him in person? What kind of person should he be?
Could it be that he is an unparalleled master who is hiding from the world?
"Hey! I have to sigh, there is heaven outside the sky, there are people outside the world, there are many hidden powers in this world that we cannot imagine." Zhao Tian sighed with emotion.
Zhao Zishan was envious, but suddenly felt depressed: "I have worked hard all my life, but I can't catch up to one ten thousandth of that big shot, right?"
His biggest goal in this life is to become a great physician.
However, in the eyes of Prince Yunshu, the Great Imperial Physician was nothing more than an insignificant existence.
You may not even be able to get a good look, let alone greet you in person?
Zhao Tian comforted him and said, "Zishan, this is not right. How can we compare with those hermit masters? Among your peers, you are already pretty good. Don't be too ambitious. Do you understand?"
He glanced at Xia Qingchen unintentionally, but had no intention of comparing.
It's not that he thinks that Xia Qingchen is inferior to his son.
But, it is not worthy of comparison at all.
His son is from the Imperial Hospital and serves His Majesty.
Where is Xia Qingchen?
The young master of a small family in a small town?
They are too far apart from each other, and they are destined not to belong to the same world, and there is no comparison.
Zhao Zishan's expression softened and he said: "That's right, how can I compare to such a hermit master? If I tell you, others will laugh at me for not overestimating my abilities."
Poof
Zhao Churan couldn't help but laugh. Even though he covered his mouth in time, he still made a sound.
"Why are you laughing?" Zhao Zishan tightened his face and looked serious.
Zhao Churan quickly suppressed his smile: "No, it's nothing."
Naturally, he smiled because his father and brother were ignorant of Mount Tai.
The big man they said they couldn't reach was sitting in front of them, but they didn't know it at all.
What's even funnier is that they either openly or secretly look down on Xia Qingchen.
You should know that Xia Qingchen can change the fate of father and son with just one word!
"As a girl, you should be more polite! How can it be appropriate for you to laugh at a man's words?" Zhao Zishan reprimanded.
Although he is not a big man, he is full of official style.
After a pause, Zhao Zishan said slowly while picking up vegetables: "Have you considered what I told you last time?"
The second thing I can't see is just delete the book from the bookshelf and then re-add it to the bookshelf. It's a platform issue.
