“..”Zhang Ronghua was speechless.
As she spoke, why did she suddenly mention herself?
Zheng Rou stood up from her chair.””You two can chat!”
She left with the servant girl and then got someone to close the door of the hall, not allowing anyone to approach.
Holding the teapot, Zhang Ronghua poured a cup of tea for his father and another for himself. He said, “I’m going to be promoted.”
Puchi!
Zhang Qin had just finished drinking the tea when he spat it on the ground. He put down the teacup and looked at him in confusion, wondering if he had heard wrongly.”What did you say? Another promotion? How long has it been since you rose to Rank-5? Wouldn’t it be from Rank-4 if he advanced again? You can enter the Imperial Court.”
“Although I don’t want to admit it, this is the truth! Pei Caihua had already suggested to the Ministry of Personnel Affairs that the appointment would be made after the procedures were completed.”
“No! Even if he suggested it and the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs approved it, you have enough qualifications? Without any qualifications, the people from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs had just suggested that the censors could scold them to death!”
At this point, Zhang Qin reacted and asked, “What have you been doing recently?”
Zhang Ronghua briefly explained the handling of the memorial and the confrontation with He Wenxuan. He did not mention anything else. The less he knew, the safer it was.
“Are you alright?”
Zhang Ronghua smiled when he saw his father’s worried expression.”l’m fine!”
Zhang Qin didn’t say much. He reached out and patted his shoulder twice. All his concern was on the top. He understood the matters of officialdom. From the moment he stepped into it, there was no turning back. He could only walk down the road to the end.
Even if you wanted to turn back, your political enemies would not let you off. When you left, you would have no scruples and would do anything unscrupulous, such as assassinating, poisoning, targeting your family, and so on.
“Compared to you, I’ve wasted all these years. I’ve been in the Flood Dragon
Guard for so many years, but I’m not even half as good as you.””
“No matter how powerful I am, I’m still your son, right?”
Zhang Qin was stunned for a moment before smiling. He stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.
Zhang Ronghua took out a jade bottle the size of two fingers and placed it in front of him. Inside it was the pill. Facing his puzzled gaze, he explained, “There is half a pill here. It was refined with the Azure Dragon bloodline and eighteen spirit herbs, all of which are around 1,500 years old. The medicinal power is immense. Every night before you go to bed, you and mother will soak it in water and drink the water. Then, you will circulate the Supreme Nirvana Life Technique to refine it until this half pill is completely used up.”
“Yes.” ” Yes!” Zhang Qin replied heavily. He didn’t ask where the Azure Dragon Bloodline and spirit herbs came from and kept them.
“Have you informed First Uncle’s family?”
Zhang Qin shook his head.” Their current situation is so chaotic. How can they be in the mood to step on the threshold?” If it’s like last time, Xiao Mi and Eunuch Xiao came uninvited, and we can’t talk about it and quarrel, we’ll become the bad guys.”
Zhang Ronghua nodded. It was just a small shop. It was good that no one had informed them. They would just go and have a meal. Then, this matter would be over.
He stood up from his chair and greeted,””lt’s time to go over.”
Zhang Qin put the jade bottle into his Sumeru Pouch and followed him out.
Zheng Rou had already prepared the carriage. When she saw the father and son coming out, she stepped on the small stool and got into the carriage. Zhang Ronghua followed and sat opposite his parents. The butler drove the carriage towards Vermilion Bird Avenue.
At this point.
The three of them alighted from the carriage, and the butler moved the carriage to the side. Before they could enter Youjian Bun Shop, a carriage drove over. The driver was Zheng Fugui, and he had a bitter expression on his face. His eyes were filled with resentment. It seemed that he had suffered a lot.
Zhang Ronghua looked at his father with confusion. Didn’t you say that you didn’t inform him? Why are they here? Zhang Qin spread out his hands and made an expression that said, “Don’t ask, I don’t know either.”
The carriage stopped.
Zheng Fugui jumped down from the car and put the small stool on the ground. He walked quickly to Zhang Ronghua and said with a hopeful look in his eyes,” “Cousin!”
These two short words contained too much information.
Zhang Ronghua understood and asked him to help solve Xiao Mi’s problem. He changed the topic.”Did you ask for leave?”
“No!” Zheng Fugui felt even more wronged.
After recounting the matter, the Crown Prince heard from somewhere that Eunuch Xiao had taken leave to visit his family and wanted to resolve his granddaughter’s matter, so he gave him leave and ordered him to resolve the matter before returning to work.
Zhang Ronghua patted his shoulder sympathetically.
“Why didn’t you call us for the opening of the bun shop?” Zheng Shan pretended to be dissatisfied.”
“You guys are so busy, yet you still have the cheek to say it?” Zhang Qin said unhappily.”
After chatting for a while, he placed the flower basket on the ground and entered the bun shop. There was only one room. The decoration was of the highest quality. Although it was not luxurious, it was exquisite and grand, combining beauty together.
There was a wall separating the kitchen and the living room. There was a door on the side that was blocked by a thick curtain, so the kitchen inside couldn’t be seen. In the living room outside, there were ten tables, five on each side, filling up the space, leaving only a small path for walking.
” After the opening ceremony tomorrow,” Zhang Qin said,” half of the tables in the hall will be placed outside. This way, it won’t be too crowded.” Moreover, there was a bun shop that mainly did business for Qingyun Inn. It provided breakfast for them, and the customers were just passing by.”
“Not bad!” Zhang Ronghua nodded.
“The food and wine are ready at the Qingyun Inn. Let’s go over first and talk while eating.”‘
The group of people left a bun shop and closed the door. They walked towards the Qingyun Inn. The two sides were not far apart and they reached it in a few steps.
Zheng Fugui and Xiao Mi seemed to have discussed it beforehand. He arrived first, and she arrived right after. A carriage stopped at the entrance of Qingyun Inn, and the curtain was lifted. A servant girl walked out from inside and lifted the curtain again. She placed her left hand on the top of the carriage to prevent her from bumping into it. Finally, it was Eunuch Xiao. He was dressed in a loose green robe, and he had a smile on his face. He was kind and harmonious, making people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze.
Seeing them.
Zheng Shan and his wife were petrified on the spot. When they regained their senses, their expressions immediately changed. They glared at Zheng Fugui with a dark expression. He must have told them that they were coming over, which was why they were able to force them to meet and talk.
Eunuch Xiao walked in front, and Xiao Mi followed behind. When he came close, he cupped his hands and greeted Zhang Ronghua,””Green Kirin!”
Zhang Ronghua was helpless. He had already greeted them. He couldn’t just pretend to be deaf and mute, right?
“Eunuch Xiao!” he said with a smile.’
Seeing that the atmosphere was very tense, First Uncle and the others ‘expressions were very ugly. They were at the door, and it was not convenient to talk in public. They suggested, “Let’s talk inside!”
Although Zheng Shan really wanted to leave and didn’t want to talk to them, he had to give face to Zhang Ronghua. Although he was a junior, as his status grew higher and higher, the weight of his words had already surpassed Zhang Qin.
They entered the backyard and stopped in the room behind them.
The food and wine were ready, and they were steaming. Zhang Ronghua called for both parties to sit down. The two sides were clearly separated. First Uncle’s family and Xiao Mi sat across the table. Zheng Fugui wanted to sit over, but under Zheng Shan’s gaze, he did not dare to have any thoughts.
He looked at them.
Zhang Ronghua was also having a headache. The bun shop had just opened, but no one had informed him. He just wanted to have a meal with his family. He didn’t expect it to turn out like this. They were at loggerheads and were like fire and water. If he wasn’t here, he suspected that his uncle would have thrown away his anger and left.
At this point, it was rare for both sides to meet, so he let them have a good chat.
“There are no outsiders here. Let’s take this opportunity to settle this matter.’”‘
Zheng Shan’s face was cold as he spoke first.” There’s nothing to talk about. We won’t agree to this!””
As he spoke, he pulled Qiuniang to stand up and leave.
Zhang Ronghua pressed him down and signaled him not to be anxious. When he finished speaking and saw him sit down, he continued, “Whether a pair of shoes fits or not, you can only know after you wear them. Although the words are rough, the principle is the same. Wealth is the person involved, and life is his own. As long as they are truly in love, I don’t think age is a problem..”
