Chapter 69: The Visit
Qin Jian couldn't tell the truth to his friends, but Zhao Mo said it, and in front of the Niu family and Qin Hanzhen, if he didn't say anything and just pretended to be stupid, everyone would think it was very strange, right?
During this period, Niu's had already praised Zhao Mo: "Guanglu really has a heart. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Zhao Gongzi is very good, I met him and Dr. Shen when I went to Dr. Ye's new medical center for a follow-up last month. He still treated me so kindly, and invited us to dinner, what kind of restaurant did he go to, the most famous one in Jinling City to make pickled tuxian, it tasted good!"
Since Zhao Gongzi invited her to eat delicious food, she always wanted to return the invitation, but she didn't find the opportunity. She didn't even know where the other party lived, and if the other party didn't say anything, she didn't want to ask too much, so she could only try her luck to see if she would meet someone when she went back to Dr. Ye's new medical hall. So far, she has not been able to do so. Now that Zhao Mo wants to send tea to Zhao Gongzi, she asked Zhao Mo to bring their home-made pastries, which can be regarded as a little care from her old lady.
She didn't tell Zhao Mo: "Zhao Gongzi no longer lives in the house in the town before." Dr. Ye's family moved into Jinling City for the winter, and he seemed to have moved over with someone. It's a pity I didn't ask where he lives now, but it should be not far from the infirmary. When he went to the follow-up appointment, he walked and did not ride a car or horse. He's not in good health, and if he's far away, where can he tire his legs?"
Zhao Mo was a little surprised: "Has my uncle moved to the city?" He turned his head and asked Qin Jian, "Do you know where he lives now?"
Qin Jian hesitated, a little embarrassed, not knowing how to answer. If the Niu family hadn't said that the prince had moved into the city, he could still lead Zhao Mo back to the house in Jiangning Town, but now it won't happen. He could only look at the third uncle, Ancestor Qin Bai, again.
Qin Bai didn't have any discoloration on his face, and he smiled very calmly and put down the green bamboo carving arm in his hand: "Zhao Gongzi didn't mention his current residence to us. The gentleman's friendship is as light as water, he has no intention of saying more, and we naturally don't want to ask. It's just that he once invited Guanglu back to his residence to sit, which shows that he doesn't like Guanglu. Since Guanglu is a heart, it is good to let him know. After a while, Guanglu wrote a post, and I sent someone to Dr. Ye's new medical center, and asked the guy there to help hand it over. Zhao Gongzi has to go to the hospital every two or three days. Wait two days at most, and there will be an echo. ”
This is also the proper number of courtesies. Zhao Mo agreed with a smile.
Someone has to do the matter of sending the worship post, but now it is important to look at the gift first, and ask Zhao Mo what he has seen and heard along the way.
Zhao Mo somehow lit up his skills, and now when he talks about the story, he can slip away. He told everyone about his travels along the way, only picking those interesting, bloody, gossipy, and novel experiences, only talking about the food he had eaten along the way, the beautiful scenery he had seen, and the good dramas he had heard, mixed with the episodes of bargaining with people when he bought things, and successfully buying his favorites at a low price, as well as among the many goods, he shrewdly saw through the fake and shoddy deceptive goods, bought authentic specialties, and met strangers on the road Interesting little stories. It's just a high tide, and it's addictive.
This said that it was for most of the day, and it was not until it was dark that the girls and mothers-in-law passed that dinner came up, and Zhao Mo stopped. Niu and Qin Han were fascinated when they heard it, Qin Jian was yearning, and he couldn't travel with him, even Qin Bai had to admit that his trip was worth it.
On this day, everyone had a great time. When Zhao Mo left the main courtyard and returned to the east courtyard where he lived, he was still a little reluctant. He asked Qin Hanzhen in a low voice: "What I brought back, do you like it, cousin?"
Qin Hanzhen smiled and nodded: "Of course I like it, it's exquisite and good-looking, why don't you like it?" My cousin is so amazing, the things I picked are all exactly what I like, and the price is not very expensive." Because it is not expensive, she does not feel uneasy when she receives so many gifts.
Zhao Mo pursed his lips: "I have something better for you to see, but it's not ready yet, I'll show it to you in a few days." ”
Qin Hanzhen was curious: "What is it?"
Zhao Mo shook his head with a smile and didn't answer, and changed the topic again: "I'll go back first, I'll come to find my cousin again tomorrow, can you tell me what happened in the past month or so? You are going to move to the city, I have heard about it a long time ago, but why did my uncle and grandfather also send a shop house to Dr. Ye?"
Qin Hanzhen said: "This is a long story. My grandfather didn't elaborate, but I think what he meant was to thank Dr. Ye for curing his grandmother, right? Do you remember? Dr. Ye said that my grandmother's illness is not a problem, and after being cured, she will need to recuperate for a long time to restore her body to its previous healthy state. ”
Zhao Mo nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle and grandpa are always so attentive to uncle and grandmother. We, the outsiders, look at it and feel envious. ”
Qin Hanzhen agreed: "Yes." In this life, if you can meet a companion who is sincere to you, and live a peaceful and prosperous life, it is really the happiest thing. ”
Zhao Mo quietly glanced at Qin Hanzhen again, and then repeated: "I'll go back first." ”
Qin Hanzhen stood at the gate of the courtyard with a smile, sent Zhao Mo away, and went back to his room to sort out the new gifts in a good mood.
It's just that for some reason, she always felt that when Zhao Mo left just now, there seemed to be a little disappointment in her expression?
She didn't think much of it, though. After a night, when he got up early the next morning, Zhao Mo arrived in the main courtyard early and had breakfast with Qin Bai and Niu. He only came a little later than Qin Hanzhen, but he was earlier than Qin Jian. The five of them sat around for breakfast, talking and laughing, as if they had returned to the time when they first arrived in Jiangning, as if Zhao Mo had never left.
After breakfast, it is still a daily homework check. Zhao Mo has not left too many courses behind along the way, and because he has gained a lot of knowledge, some of his views are more mature than before, and he has won a few words of praise from Qin Bai. Qin Jian listened sourly, and began to think about going out for a walk and seeing the world more.
After checking their homework, the three children gathered together again to endorse and practice calligraphy. Although the homework of the three of them has been different, they have not disturbed each other while sitting together and working hard, and their learning efficiency has improved. After lunch, Qin Jian went to take a nap, but Qin Hanzhen pulled Zhao Mo to talk about what happened at home during his departure. Although all kinds of rumors in the Qin clan are not good to mention Zhao Mo, a person with a foreign surname, but the murder case of Shangyuan County Ling can still be gossiped.
Qin Hanzhen also specially told Zhao Mo: "I heard that this murderer has not been arrested until now. Although he is also a poor man, he will only kill people out of hatred when his sister dies. But now that he is a fugitive, he doesn't know if his temperament has changed. When Cousin Zhao is outside, you must be careful not to really run into him. If you do, don't anger him, just hide away quickly. ”
Zhao Mo smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, cousin, I won't put myself in danger." He was a little curious, "Then the Shangyuan County Order is not dead yet?" It can be seen that this murderer is not ruthless enough, and he didn't get a really powerful poison, otherwise the two or three days of delay alone would be enough to kill the Shangyuan County Order. ”
Qin Hanzhen snorted: "Where is the poison so easy to get? Buy an arsenic poison rat, the people in the pharmacy have to ask again and again, for fear of getting into trouble." This murderer, listening to his life experience, also knows that he has no money, even if there is really a powerful medicine, he may not be able to afford it. In fact, if he hadn't been forced to death by his sister, he wouldn't have done such an extreme thing. His sister also died too unjustly, it's a big deal that the brother and sister fled together, and there are troupes everywhere outside. Although the Shangyuan County Commander has a powerful family background and the Jinling prefect is behind his back, he can't cover the sky with one hand in the Jinling area. At the head of the Jinling prefect, there is also the governor's yamen, and the guard does not listen to the orders of the government office. Why can't his sister think about it?"
Zhao Mo paused: "Then this time the matter is so big, I'm afraid even the Jinling prefect will be bad, right? In the final analysis, if he hadn't indiscriminately protected the Shangyuan County Order, the Shangyuan County Order would not have been able to break through such a catastrophe." ”
Qin Hanzhen thought so.
The two of them discussed the case of the assassination of Shangyuan County Commander in a matter-of-fact manner, and soon the response from Zhao Gongzi's side also arrived. The other party welcomed Zhao Mo to visit, and sent an entourage over to lead the way for Zhao Mo.
Zhao Mo hurriedly changed his clothes, took gifts, only took Ah Shou's servant, and went out with the comer.
Zhao Gongzi really didn't live far, Zhao Mo walked no more than Li Xu's road, and arrived at his destination. It's just that he looked at the lintel and hesitated. This address...... Sounds familiar. Qin San's cousin had mentioned in the past that his uncle and grandfather Qin Bai had taken a fancy to two houses in Jinling City, one was near the Confucius Temple and where he lived now, and the other was where he came from...... Everything in this house gives people a sense of familiarity. Could it be that his uncle and grandfather Qin Bai gave up the house he didn't buy and asked the uncle of the Liyang Mansion to give it to him?
What an unexpected coincidence!
Zhao Mo soon saw his uncle, and seeing that the other party's complexion seemed to be better than when they met before, he knew that the other party's condition must have improved, and he hurriedly congratulated him. He also mentioned that he had not come to the door for a long time because he had traveled, and after briefly explaining where he had been, he gave him a gift.
When the prince saw Jingshan tea, he was also a little surprised, and he was even more interested in the West Lake lotus root noodles he brought, so he first ordered someone to ask Imperial Doctor Shen, and learned that he could eat this food with confidence, so he immediately ordered someone to transfer two bowls and share the food with Zhao Mo.
While eating lotus root noodles, the prince asked about Zhao Mo's experience along the way. The questions he asked were very different from those of Niu and Qin Hanzhen, but they were a bit like Qin Bai's tone.
Zhao Mo has long been accustomed to this way of asking questions in recent months, so he also answered the prince's inquiries one by one according to the old practice, and thought in his heart: Although King Liyang is an idler in the clan, there is no shortage of ambitious and talented people among his children and grandchildren. Listening to his uncle's question, he knew that he had hills and ravines in his chest. How can such a person not be able to compete for the position of the emperor's heir? It is better than those who show up, such mediocre people as the youngest son of the king of Shu and the eldest son of the king of Jin. Even his father, Zhao Shuo, is inferior to his uncle.
Zhao Mo once again felt sorry for the uncle in front of him.
