Chapter 176: Uninvited guests, turned away
Xue Xiao looked at Jairo and Du Yizhe who suddenly appeared on Tianzi No. 1 in surprise.
"Dr. Jie, Uncle Zhe, why are you here? Is there something wrong with my dad's body? or... Not enough medicine?"
In a relatively secluded room next to Xue Xiao's office, Xue Xiao asked Jairo and Du Yizhe, who had suddenly arrived, a little apprehensively.
The "medicine" Xue Xiao refers to her blood.
Both Du Yizhe and Jairo can understand.
Although this place is secluded enough, it is not in the Xue family after all, so you still have to be careful when you talk or something.
Xue Xiao made preparations for a long time before coming to the imperial capital, and naturally took into account what to do if Xue Guoqiang's body was in trouble after she left Beicheng.
So during that time, Xue Xiao went to Jairo's blood almost every two days to draw blood.
The blood was stored to come in handy when Xue Guoqiang became ill.
Now, Jairo and Du Yizhe suddenly appeared on Tianzi No. 1, and they didn't call in advance.
It's no wonder that Xue Xiao was apprehensive when he saw them.
"Miss, you don't have to worry, it's actually fine!"
Seeing that Xue Xiao was in a hurry, Du Yizhe hurriedly explained: "Is the old man worried that you are working too hard alone, you have to develop Xue's business and take care of Tianzi No. 1, so he arranged for me to come over to help you?"
"Grandpa?" Xue Xiao felt a touch in his heart.
She is now alone in the imperial capital, and there are no other right-hand men by her side except Jones.
At present, Tianzi No. 1 is basically handed over to Jones to take care of, and she spends most of her time dealing with the Xue family's business entering the imperial capital.
If Uncle Zhe joins, she will indeed be able to save a lot of worry.
Du Yizhe saw that Xue Xiao frowned and didn't speak, thinking that she was still blaming the old man for the original design to arrest her, so he persuaded Xue Xiao seriously:
"Miss, I hope you don't blame the old man anymore, he has no choice. During the time you came to the imperial capital, the old man has been thinking about you!"
"Uncle Zhe, I understand! I don't blame Grandpa anymore. Xue Xiao hesitated for a moment and continued: "It's just that you are the most powerful person beside your grandfather, you came to the imperial capital, that grandfather..."
Although Xue Xiao still felt uncomfortable when she remembered what the old man did to her, she also understood the old man.
In fact, she doesn't have that much in her heart about the old man's mustard, after all, in the past twenty years, the old man's teaching and love for her are not fake.
At this time, seeing that the old man even arranged for Uncle Zhe to help her, Xue Xiao was grateful, but she couldn't help but worry that the old man didn't have a competent person around him, and it was inconvenient to do things.
"Miss, please rest assured, there is a gentleman in Beicheng!" Du Yizhe comforted.
"My dad?" Xue Xiao heard Du Yizhe mention Xue Guoqiang, and then remembered and asked Jairo: "By the way, Dr. Jie, you haven't told me yet, how is my dad doing recently?"
"Miss!" Jairo replied to Xue Xiao with a reassuring look: "That's why I came here with Deacon Du, Mr.'s condition is very stable, but..."
"I see!"
Before Jairo finished speaking, Xue Xiao understood what he meant.
Xue Guoqiang now needs her blood almost every week, and after careful calculation, the blood she left before she came to the imperial capital should be gone.
It's just that it's always not convenient to draw blood here.
Xue Xiao thought that Zhai Lao was a good place to go.
Anyway, she happened to be looking for Zhai Lao today, so she took Jairo and Du Yizhe with her.
Although he hadn't figured out the details of Zhai Lao, Xue Xiao felt that his judgment would not be wrong, and that old man could be trusted.
In order to save Zhai Lao's Gu worm before, Xue Xiao had already exposed her blood in front of Zhai Lao.
It's just that at that time, Elder Zhai thought that as long as it was blood, he could save that Gu.
Thinking about it now, Zhai Lao knew in his heart that it was because of the special reason of her blood.
But the old man deliberately pretended to be confused and did not debunk it.
After all, that Gu was raised by Zhai Lao, if ordinary blood could save the Gu, how could he not know?
It seems that the old man is also a drama master, and his acting is so natural.
It's a shame that she still thinks that she can hide the fox eyes of the old man by playing a clever trick.
"Uncle Zhe, Doctor Jie" Xue Xiao said to Du Yizhe and Zhai Lao: "Since you are here, then I will introduce someone for you, maybe it will help my father's condition!"
"Alas!" Du Yizhe sighed: "Miss, Sir's illness, ordinary doctors can't rule the law at all! Even the medical leader Zhai Lao comes forward, it may not be useful!"
"Uncle Zhe, the person I want to take you to see is Elder Zhai!" Xue Xiao said.
"Elder Zhai?"
"Elder Zhai?"
Du Yizhe and Jairo looked at each other suspiciously......
Xue Xiao took Du Yizhe and Jairo to the location reported by Zhai Lao, and saw the old man waiting there from a distance.
Seeing Xue Xiao appear in his sight, Zhai Lao's eyes were happy, and just as he was about to speak, he saw two other faces.
"I said girl, today is the first day of your apprenticeship, why did you bring such two unrelated people here?" Zhai Lao looked at Du Yizhe and Jairo, his face displeased.
"Old man, they are..."
"Stinky girl, it's rude! Call Master!" Before Xue Xiao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhai Lao.
"Old man, why do you care so much about these details? Just call you a stinky old man, I think it's quite smooth?"
Xue Xiao rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "Besides, isn't this a great ceremony for apprenticeship yet!"
"That's right!"
When Zhai Lao heard Xue Xiao say this, his face suddenly brightened:
"Why didn't I think of the apprenticeship ceremony? Old man, it's the first time I've accepted an apprentice, so I have to have a good time to get it!"
As Zhai Lao spoke, he subconsciously stood farther away from Jairo and Du Yizhe, and then continued:
"In this way, let's choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and when the time comes, you can kowtow to me a few times, solemnly call me Master, and I will start teaching again, what do you think?"
The corners of Xue Xiao's mouth twitched slightly: "Old man, I..."
"Oh, okay, girl, that's it, old man, I suddenly don't want to accept apprentices today. I want to hide and quiet today, you guys go back!"
After Zhai Lao finished speaking, he quickly retracted into the courtyard and closed the door of the house tightly.
"Hey, old man, open the door!" Seeing this, Xue Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Xue Xiao repeatedly slapped the heavy solid wood door, but there was no movement inside, and Zhai Lao didn't seem to have any intention of opening the door for them.
"Hey, stinky old man, you are a respected elder like this, you shut the door out of the door like this, you open the door!" Xue Xiao shouted at the top of his voice.
"Alas!" Du Yizhe sighed: "Miss, forget it! Elder Zhai obviously didn't welcome me and Jairo, so he found an excuse to turn us away, otherwise, let's go back first, right?"
Xue Xiao frowned and looked at the closed door, how could she not see that Zhai Lao was unwilling to see Jairo and Du Yizhe?
However, she couldn't figure out why.
