Chapter 280: Zhao Jing's Change
Zhao Jing sighed lightly: He has missed the best opportunity, but now he doesn't know when he will be able to say it!
The carriage was rolling around, carrying Zhao Jing's heart forward.
Behind him, the Duke of Qi watched them leave for a long time, and he looked very happy, because the Wan clan had not been so happy as they were today for a long time.
Today, the young couple of the Zhao family invited the right person, and it was not in vain that he spoke well for him many times in the emperor's place.
"Madame likes them very much?" Qi Guogong asked knowingly.
Wan Shi looked back at him from the carriage and said calmly: "I only like that girl, can Grandpa Guo allow me to invite her as a guest from time to time?" She also promised to treat me! ”
Qi Guogong was overjoyed: "Of course, of course, as long as Madame likes it!" Wan glanced at it with attachment until the carriage was no longer visible, and then turned back.
Qi Yunshu on this carriage was also full of interest, and she had endless memories of this trip.
Zhao Jing had too many things on his mind, and he couldn't show his happiness for a while, and there was a loss on his face that couldn't be concealed.
"The lady is closer to their family than to me!" It's really delicious.
Qi Yunshu smiled: "Don't be kidding, I know you're not serious." ”
Zhao Jing's pattern could not be on these small things, she didn't believe it.
However, his previous tiger entering the Qi State Mansion still opened her eyes, and in her heart, she never thought that he would do such an irrational thing.
The tentative meaning in Qi Yunshu's eyes was so strong that Zhao Jing couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw it: "What is the lady looking at me like this?" "He was a little nervous, could it be that the lady had seen through everything?
Qi Yunshu said lightly: "It's nothing, I just think I don't know enough about you!" Originally, Zhao Jing should be an ordinary reader in her eyes, with the style of reading, but it is inevitable that he is useless and a scholar.
But there is no such thing here in Zhao Jing at all, he is actually very capable of fighting, it was like this last time in Northern Xinjiang, and this time it is like this in the Guogong Mansion!
Qi Yunshu couldn't help but look forward to it a little, what kind of surprise could Zhao Jing give her?
"Lady, are you angry with me, afraid that I will leave a bad impression on Qi Guogong?" Zhao Jing guessed.
Qi Yunshu glanced at him: "Why do you think so, do you think that Grandpa Guo doesn't like you or do you think that Duchess and Old Lady don't like me?" ”
Qi Yunshu felt that everything that happened today was smooth and comfortable, and it was the most relaxed day since she crossed over, except for Qi Min's not very friendly gaze, but fortunately, she could choose to ignore it!
Zhao Jing hesitated and nodded, saying that she liked it.
Then he slowly told Qi Yunshu one thing: tonight the old lady held a banquet there, saying that he would celebrate his promotion.
Although his heart refused, the old lady was very resolute, he was originally giving an order, and he was not discussing with him, so he had no part in refusing.
"It's okay, just go, I'm almost getting used to it anyway!" Qi Yunshu nodded dispensably.
At the end of the day, Fukujuin is lively.
Old lady Zhao had the heart to support Zhao Jing, so he ordered someone to gather all the people in the courtyard early in the morning.
Set up two tables for the banquet, but because they are all family members, so there is no distinction between men and women, and there is no screen curtain to separate, the big room plus the second room of the man and daughter-in-law and the old lady put together a table, and the rest of the third room and the fourth room sit at the second table with a group of juniors.
Qi Yunshu was very sad because of Zhao Jingyan's eldest grandson to sit at the first table, facing the old lady's thought-provoking eyes, Zhao Hongyi's indifferent eyes like snow, and Qin Yuru's face was sometimes warm like a spring breeze, and sometimes like a sharp blade...... This taste is really more delicious than the food on the table.
Qi Yunshu felt even less interested in comparing it with the atmosphere of the banquet in the Qi State Mansion at noon.
Anyway, after experiencing the previous reunion banquets of the Zhao Mansion, she didn't have hope for this Laoshizi at all, and she didn't come out until she was full in her own yard.
In this way, no matter what moths some people produce at the banquet, she doesn't have to worry about not having enough to eat.
However, today, because the old lady was in high spirits, everyone did not make any moves at the banquet, and spent most of the hour in silence and peace.
Seeing the people remove the dishes and chopsticks, Qi Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, and was thinking about leaving here quickly, but heard the old lady suddenly say: "Don't go, everyone, sit down for a while, and let Bowen prepare tea for you!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised, the old lady had shown that they were the most annoying to them in the past, for fear that their excessive stay here would hinder him from studying documents and gold and stone things.
It's strange today, I actually took the initiative to keep guests!
"Why, I don't like the old man for being old, and I don't want to talk to the old man.
Everyone said that they didn't dare and sat down one after another.
Qi Yunshu looked at the seating arrangement, Zhao Jing and Zhao Gan's position was opposite, she was at the bottom, opposite was Zhao Yun'er, that girl was a rarity, and sometimes she would smile at her, it could be seen that she still remembered that it was good to treat her foot injury and invite her to eat pastries last time.
Qi Yunshu also nodded at her, but in Qin Yuru's eyes, she was unhappy, and her feet hidden under her long skirt carefully kicked Zhao Yun'er, not allowing her to have too close contact with Qi Yunshu.
Zhao Yun'er was kicked and looked unhappy, but she couldn't do anything, so she could only pout her lips and feel aggrieved.
"Ahem......" The old lady seemed to have been drinking tea, but in fact she had been observing everyone present.
To be honest, he was very disappointed with their performance, and he often warned them that the Zhao Mansion was a big family, and the Zhao clan was composed of every descendant surnamed Zhao, and if one was missing, there would be less energy, but they often didn't understand, especially since the eldest son, he felt that he couldn't take on the heavy responsibility.
The second child is a stable one, but he is not in the capital, the third child will drill the camp, but he has no magnanimity, after all, he is a concubine, and he can't be on the stage, and the same shortcoming of these three people is that they have no overall situation.
The fourth child is talented and learned, traveled everywhere in the early years, has a wide vision, and has a strong sense of the overall situation, but he is young, and he has not yet worked in the court, but he has just hung a staff member in the second prince's mansion, and he is all brothers in front of him, and he can't say it accurately, and he is not the best choice for the head of the family!
The old lady sighed and set his eyes on Zhao Jing, the future of Zhao Mansion may be on him.
But it was obvious that everyone sitting here did not intend to let him breathe a sigh of relief, either openly fighting or secretly fighting.
After beating it at the reunion dinner last time, it had to take a while, and after that, the effect was not very good.
Especially after Zhao Jing came back from this promotion, the situation began to be different again.
That's why he, a low-key person, deliberately opened this banquet today, just hoping that they can understand his mind.
What he wants is not for them to mess around, but to work hard to carry forward the Zhao clan, if it can be achieved, it will not be in vain for him to lay out for twenty years!
It's a pity that it backfired, and now it seems that the road is long!
After the old lady looked around, everyone's minds converged, lowered their heads, and each made their own little abacus.
The old lady took a sip of tea and finally began to speak.
The content is probably that Zhao Jing's promotion to the official is a good thing, and he earned it by himself.
"Father, Zhao Jing has been the champion for less than half a year, and he has been promoted two levels in a row, but I am afraid that this official will be promoted too quickly, and it may not be a good thing, after all, the golden mean is important for officials." Zhao Hongyi said.
He has always been dissatisfied with Zhao Jing, and seeing him reminds him of the unbearable past. In his opinion, Zhao Jing shouldn't come back at all, the Zhao Mansion is very big, but there is no place for him, because this place has never belonged to him!
"It may not be a good thing for others, but it won't!" The old lady was very sure.
"Raising strategic materials in the early stage, escorting them to northern Xinjiang in the later stage, and saving people are all real achievements, and no one can erase them!"
With such strength and merit, even if there are people with red eyes and hot hearts, there is nowhere to focus.
This is the imperial court, if you don't have real skills, you will naturally be easily attacked by others.
But Zhao Jing is obviously not like this, and the old lady believes that his strength is more than enough to deal with all this.
"But father, I heard a lot about him in the household department a few days ago, and everyone is not optimistic about him!" Zhao Hongyi insisted on his own views and used other people's mouths to announce his unhappiness.
"He is a member of the Ministry of Rites, and I want you to be optimistic about what you people in the Ministry of Household will do!" The old lady directly said a word.
The six departments are one, but at the same time, they are unrelated departments, and no one can interfere with anyone!
Zhao Hongyi stumped for a moment, and wanted to fight again, but Qin Yuru, who was sitting next to her, hurriedly pulled his sleeve.
Zhao Hongyi struggled for a while, but in the end he still didn't fight anymore.
Qi Yunshu looked at Zhao Jing with complicated eyes, what happened to their father and son that would make him make his father's divine identity like this?
She can't understand him, a father wouldn't want his son to live well, it's really ridiculous!
After Zhao Hongyi refuted the old lady's point of view and was reprimanded, the old lady's reprimand seemed to be very smooth.
After all, everyone realized that even Zhao Hongyi, the eldest son, had been disciplined, and no one in the back dared to speak casually.
However, for what the old lady said, they just promised on their faces, from the big room to the second room, and then the third room, none of them went to their hearts.
Zhao Hongzhi of the fourth room agreed with the old lady's words, but he only represented him.
"Today, while everyone is here, I will leave my words here, in the future, you need to remember that you are all a family, and you are not allowed to fight openly and secretly in front of outsiders, and lose the face of my Zhao family."
The old lady has also emphasized it before, but it has not been announced as seriously as now, everyone has supported it, with different expressions and different thoughts.
Zhao Jing was noncommittal, he had too many things to do at the moment, and he didn't have time to fight with them.
After the short family meeting, the old lady waved wearily and asked everyone to go back.
Walking out of the door of Fukujuin, everyone was relieved.
Qi Yunshu also exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and glanced at the hall with the lights on, and the back of Old Lady Zhao looked so lonely and desolate.
He may not know that the current Zhao family is not the Zhao family he imagined at all, he is old, and some people are still respecting him on the surface, but in fact, he can't control their hearts for a long time!
It's sad to think about it, Qi Yunshu condensed for a moment, and suddenly felt a heavy breathing sound behind her, she turned around, and saw Zhao Qian standing under the peach tree five steps away looking at her.
The eyes are gloomy, and there is a hidden hatred in the eyes.
"Lady don't pay attention to him, he doesn't dare to make a mistake!" Zhao Jing took a step forward, stopped between the two, stepped on Zhao Gan's gaze and looked over, the other party immediately turned his face and chuckled, and said something that seemed to be nothing: "I heard that the situation in Northern Xinjiang is very good, and His Royal Highness has won a big victory all the way, and he will return to the court in a few days!" ”
Zhao Jing's eyebrows moved slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Qi Yunshu, and the other party's expression really changed at a visible speed.
He was now curious, what happened between them when he was in the northern frontier?
Qi Yunshu was a little uncomfortable when Zhao Jing looked at her, her heart was weak and she had nothing to say: "What does he mean?" Why do you want to talk about the second prince again! ”
Zhao Jing was silent for a while before he said in a low voice: "Most of the Tang newspapers that have come back from Northern Xinjiang so far say that they won the battle, and there is no matter of the second prince returning to Beijing, I guess he said this to show off his closeness to the second prince, and to be able to know things that no one else knows!" ”
"Boring!" Qi Yunshu bit her lip and complained.
Zhao Jing suddenly said in a deep voice: "Does the lady want to know how they will deal with us next?" ”
Qi Yunshu shook her head: "Didn't the old lady just declare that infighting is not allowed?" ”
Although she didn't think that these people would be obedient, she wouldn't throw away the old man's words before she had spent the night!
"Lady wait and see!" Zhao Jing threw down a sentence and beckoned to the back, a black shadow flashed, Zhao Jing explained, the black shadow flashed, and he disappeared!
Qi Yunshu looked at Zhao Jing standing under the half-bright and half-off lights, he was obviously smiling, but she seemed to see the cruelty hidden in his smile!
Has he changed, or has she never noticed?
"Let's go back!" Zhao Jing saw that she was distracted, thinking that she was thinking about the second prince who was going to return to Beijing soon, and the strength to hold her hand unconsciously increased.
"Shhh Qi Yunshu struggled to take her hand back, and Zhao Jing was moderately relieved, but she was never allowed to break free of her hand!
