"Neither do I." Zhao Kangqiang also said with an innocent face.

What did the dean do with them in the teahouse that week? The two looked at the doubts in each other's eyes, and they were even more puzzled.

In the end, Zhao Kangqiang sighed and said, "If you want to do so much, don't you know if you go." ”

Zhao Xiaoli: "Yes. ”

The two of them walked towards the tearoom.

Here, Dean Zhou had already come to the outside of the teahouse, he first looked inside, and then saw Zhao Kangcheng inside talking to a girl beside him, with a gentle smile on his face.

Dean Zhou knew that Zhao Kangcheng was married, and he also heard that Zhao Kangcheng's wife was very good at business, and the reputation of the town's "Small Town Home" had long spread to Aoki Academy, and many of the masters in Aoki Academy were regular customers of "Small Town Home", even Dean Zhou himself, but he mostly asked someone to help him buy it.

The main thing is that he doesn't want to meet someone.

At this time, seeing Zhao Kangcheng appear in front of him again after nine years, Dean Zhou's heart was full of emotion, of course, the emotion contained more anger, and this anger became more vigorous when he saw Cai Xiaoxiao beside Zhao Kangcheng-

This stinky boy, when he said he wouldn't see him, he wouldn't see him, and then he avoided him for nine years! I didn't even think about inviting him as a guest when I got married!

Thinking of this, Dean Zhou didn't want to see him, and when he turned around, he was about to leave, but at this time, Zhao Kangcheng had already seen him, and he hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Teacher! ”

Dean Zhou stopped.

Cai Xiaoxiao also got up, and when she turned around, she saw an old man standing outside the door of the tearoom with his back to them.

Zhao Kangcheng led her to Dean Zhou, and when she came to Dean Zhou, she bowed deeply to Dean Zhou and said, "Teacher, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Humph!" Dean Zhou snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and turned around to stare at Zhao Kangcheng with raised eyebrows, and said coldly, "What are you doing here?" Don't you want to see me, an old man! ”

Zhao Kangcheng touched his nose, Dean Zhou's reaction was actually what he expected, after all, he saw his old man in the future for nine years without authorization, so he asked someone to send some gifts during the New Year's holidays, but people have never appeared in front of Dean Zhou, so don't blame Dean Zhou for being angry with him.

It's just that he doesn't know how to reply to Dean Zhou's question, does he want to say that he came to pick up his little brother and sister from school and then come to see him by the way? If he really said that, it was estimated that Dean Zhou might be furious.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Dean Zhou asked unhappily, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Cai Xiaoxiao understands Zhao Kangcheng's dilemma, but this is a problem between their master and apprentice, she is not easy to interject on the side, and she is not clear about Dean Zhou's temperament, and it is said that this ancient old man is generally more strange, and his thinking is a little stubborn, especially if he has read books like Dean Zhou, so she is afraid that if she interjects rashly, not only may she not help, but she will also anger Dean Zhou, then it is really a good intention.

So Cai Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, didn't say anything in the end, just stood silently beside Zhao Kangcheng.

In fact, Cai Xiaoxiao didn't guess wrong, Dean Zhou hated the two men talking the most, and the woman next to him interjected without knowing the number of politeness, if Cai Xiaoxiao really opened his mouth for Zhao Kangcheng, it would provoke Dean Zhou to turn around and leave, and then let Zhao Kangcheng be caught in the middle of the dilemma.

Zhao Kangcheng knew that if he didn't make it clear to Dean Zhou today, Dean Zhou would definitely be very angry, and maybe he wouldn't want to see him in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kangcheng was helpless, bowed to Dean Zhou again, and said, "Teacher, can you take a step to speak?" He wanted to tell Dean Zhou the truth about his imperial examination and the reason why he hadn't come to see him for many years, but Cai Xiaoxiao couldn't let Cai Xiaoxiao know about it.

It's not that he doesn't believe Cai Xiaoxiao, but he doesn't want Cai Xiaoxiao to feel distressed or angry about what happened to him back then, and he doesn't want to scare her by what happened back then, Zhao Kangcheng just wants her to be good.

But she didn't know that Cai Xiaoxiao already knew, and she could also see what Zhao Kangcheng was going to say to Dean Zhou, and she had no problem with Zhao Kangcheng's behavior of avoiding her, because she understood his thoughts.

Dean Zhou looked at Zhao Kangcheng, saw that his expression was a little serious and dignified, and thought that there might really be something important to talk to him, so he nodded and said, "Let's go to the side hall." With that, he walked to the side hall first.

Zhao Kangcheng paused for a while, he looked at Cai Xiaoxiao, reached out to hold her two hands, and said softly: "I'll go and make amends with the teacher, you ......" He pursed his lips, "Don't think about it, I didn't mean to avoid your ......" He was worried that his behavior would make Cai Xiaoxiao misunderstand.

Cai Xiaoxiao's heart warmed, and she said with a smile: "I didn't think much about it, I know that you will definitely have a lot to say to your teacher, and it must be inconvenient for me to be next to me, so you don't have to explain anything, I'm not a very unreasonable person, go ahead, don't let the teacher wait for a long time." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Kangcheng nodded, then reached out and hugged Cai Xiaoxiao, "Wait for me to come back." After saying that, he went to the side hall.

Cai Xiaoxiao sat back in his previous position and politely asked the scholar to change the tea that had been cold in the teacup. Waiting for the scholar to change the hot tea for her, she drank the hot tea and sat quietly waiting for Zhao Kangcheng.

At this time, two surprised voices sounded in Cai Xiaoxiao's ears: "Sister-in-law? ”

Cai Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and saw Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli standing at the door of the tea room, looking at her with surprise and joy on their faces, Cai Xiaoxiao also suddenly felt very surprised, put down the tea in her hand, got up and walked towards them: "Little brother! Younger sister! ”

Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli also walked towards her quickly, and Zhao Xiaoli happily threw herself into Cai Xiaoxiao's arms: "Sister-in-law, it's really you!" When did you get back? What about my brother? Why didn't you see my brother? While holding Cai Xiaoxiao excitedly, he asked a series of questions.

Zhao Kangqiang also wanted to ask, but Zhao Xiaoli was so preemptive that he choked suddenly, but he still looked at Cai Xiaoxiao expectantly: "Sister-in-law, where is my brother?" ”

Cai Xiaoxiao hugged Zhao Xiaoli with a smile and replied one by one: "We just came back today, thinking of picking you up from school, your eldest brother is talking to Dean Zhou in the side hall now." ”

Zhao Kangqiang's brother and sister also knew that Dean Zhou was Zhao Kangcheng's mentor, so the two of them nodded with a sudden understanding and said, "It turns out that this is the purpose of Dean Zhou's call to come." ”

Zhao Kangqiang and Zhao Xiaoli were very happy to reunite with Cai Xiaoxiao, pestering Cai Xiaoxiao to ask a lot of topics about the capital, and learned that Zheng Yi also went to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, and the two were a little surprised.
