“Hahaha, well said! How can a Sparrow know the ambitions of a Swan? my Zhao clan will be relying on you in the future!”
The two of them laughed as they entered the dining hall.
“Brother Tian, why are you only back now?” his aunt went up to him.
Brother Tian was the middle-aged man in front of her, her aunt’s husband, Zhao Tian.
That young man was Zhao churan’s older brother, Zhao Zishan.
The two of them entered in their official robes and suddenly saw Xia qingchen, who had an unfamiliar face.
Zhao Tian smiled in surprise. this must be nephew Xia qingchen from the lone Cloud City, right? ”
Zhao Tian naturally knew that he was coming.
Xia qingchen was reasonable and measured. He smiled back. nephew Xia qingchen pays his respects to uncle.
He took out a jade ring and said, “father knows that uncle likes Jade, so I specially picked a jade ring for uncle.”
Lone Cloud City was far away and did not have any good quality Jade.
This item was already a high-quality item in the lone Cloud City. Xia Yuan had even spent a high price to buy it.
Usually, he couldn’t even bear to buy it himself. But now, in order to prevent
Xia qingchen from being looked down upon by others when he was depending on them, he had to spend his heart and soul to buy a good-quality jade ring as a gift.
Zhao Tian took it and looked at it, his eyes extremely calm.
If he wore this jade ring in the small city, he might have some status.
But in the imperial capital, it was too ordinary.
As a patrol envoy, wearing it would completely lower his status and make a fool of himself in front of his colleagues.
Xia qingchen’s father was someone from a small city, after all. He didn’t even know how to give things.
Although he was not satisfied, he still accepted it with a smile.”Not bad, you’re very thoughtful.”
Xia qingchen looked toward Zhao Zishan and simply greeted him, “”Cousin.”
Zhao Zishan nodded his head expressionlessly, not having any intention of talking to him.
The group of people sat down to eat.
The father and son, Zhao Tian and Zhao Zishan, kept talking about the Imperial government and the Imperial Palace.
Xia qingchen was like air, ignoring him.
Only his aunt wasn’t willing to give Xia qingchen the cold shoulder. She kept putting food into his bowl and chatted with him as they ate.
Zhao churan’s beautiful brows furrowed, she couldn’t bear to watch this.
When she and her mother had been living in the southern Xia Manor, her first uncle had never treated her like this.
“Father, why did you only come back today? cousin has been waiting for you for a long time.” She deliberately created an opportunity for her father to talk to her cousin.
Only then did Zhao Tian stop his conversation with Zhao Zishan. He smiled and said to Xia qingchen, was busy with work today, so I came late.”
He did not have any intention to continue the conversation.
“What official business?” Zhao churan continued to ask.
Zhao Zishan, who was standing at the side, said in a rigid tone, ” churan, father holds an important position. All his work is confidential. Is it something that a girl like you can ask so casually? ”
“Churan, don’t ask anymore,” his aunt quickly interrupted.
From this simple conversation, Xia qingchen could already tell the status of their family.
Zhao Tian and his son were in charge of the clan, while his aunt and Zhao churan obviously didn’t have any status.
Zhao Tian waved his hand. Zishan, we’re all family. There’s no need to be so distant!
He paused for a moment and then instructed them seriously, “”Something big happened in the capital today! I can tell you, but you must not reveal it to anyone. This is confidential, understand?”
His aunt and Zhao churan’s expressions turned solemn and wary.
uncle. Xia qingchen gave it some thought and said, ” uncle, I’ll leave for a while.
If it was something too important, it would be better for an outsider like him to not be present.
“No, just don’t tell anyone.” Zhao Tian said magnanimously.
After taking a sip of wine, Zhao Tian pulled at his tight collar, exhaled, and said in a serious tone, “”Do you guys know why I came back so late today?”
“Why?” Zhao Zishan also asked curiously.
Zhao Tian’s expression became cautious, “Because today, an influential figure has come to the imperial capital!”
Usually, only people from small cities would address people from the imperial capital as big shots.
Very few people in the imperial capital called outsiders big shots.
“When our Patrol Division was about to change shifts, we suddenly received an urgent letter personally written by the head of the guards. He requested all the people of the patrol Division to immediately increase their vigilance and maintain order on the streets.”
“I’ve been busy all the way until just now, when the security was lifted.”
I heard from my superior that Prince yunshu ordered the guards to welcome an important figure.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zishan and his aunt both sucked in a breath of cold air.
“Prince yunshu gave the order?” Zhao Zishan’s face was filled with respect.
He was in the palace, so he knew how high Prince Yun Shu’s status was!
A person who could make him give the order to welcome them was definitely a Big Shot!
also, ” Zhao Tian said, ” I heard that Prince yunshu wanted to welcome him in person, but he’s still on his way back to the capital. That’s why he’s here now. He ordered someone to welcome him in his place.
Hearing this, the two of them were shocked again.
Even the Prince was going to welcome him personally? What kind of person would that be?
Could it be that he was an unparalleled expert who had hidden himself from the world?
“Al! I can’t help but sigh, there’s always someone better than you. There are many hidden powers in this world that we can’t even imagine.” Zhao Tian couldn’t help but sigh.
Zhao Zishan was envious, but he suddenly felt dejected, “”My lifetime’s effort can’t even compare to one-ten-thousandth of that Big Shot’s, right?” His biggest goal in life was to become the head Imperial physician.
However, in Prince yunshu’s eyes, the head Imperial physician was an insignificant existence.
They might not even get a proper look at him, let alone personally welcome him.
Zhao Tian consoled him,”Zishan, that’s not right. How are we qualified to compare ourselves to those hermit experts?” You’re already pretty good among your peers, so don’t aim too high, understand?”
He cast a casual glance at Xia qingchen, but he didn’t have any intention of comparing himself to Xia qingchen.
It wasn’t that he felt that Xia qingchen couldn’t be compared to his son.
Rather, they were not worthy of comparison.
His son was from the Imperial Academy of Medicine and served His Majesty.
As for Xia qingchen?
A young master from a small family in a small city?
The difference between them was too great. They were destined to be people from different worlds. There was no comparison.
Zhao Zishan’s expression softened,”that’s true, how can I compare to such a hermit expert?” If word gets out, people will laugh at me for overestimating myself.”
Puchi–
Zhao churan couldn’t help but laugh. Even though she covered her mouth in time, she still made a sound.
“What are you laughing at?” Zhao Zishan’s face was tense, and he had a serious look.
“No, nothing.” Zhao churan hurriedly wiped away her smile.
He was naturally laughing at his father and brother for failing to recognize Mount Tai.
The Big Shot they were talking about was sitting right in front of them, but they didn’t know it at all.
What was even funnier was that they were looking down on Xia qingchen, be it in the open or in the dark.
One must know that a single sentence from Xia qingchen could change the fate of this father and son pair!
“As a girl, you should be more gentle! How can you sneer at a man’s words?” Zhao Zishan reprimanded.
Although he wasn’t big, he had a strong sense of authority.
After a pause, Zhao Zishan picked up some food and said slowly, “”Have you thought about what I told you last time?”
The second thing that you can’t see is that you just have to delete a book from the bookshelf and then re-add it. It’s a platform problem..
