Chapter 201 The Unpopular Cheng Chumo
The next morning, Zhao Chen had breakfast and went to the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion with Li Ruoshuang and Cheng Chumo who came here.
Yesterday afternoon, many more officials came to visit.
However, Zhao Chen was not seen, and even the gifts were returned as they were.
Among them, there were even gifts sent by Crown Prince Li Chengqian and King Li Tai of Wei.
Zhao Chen's performance in the court yesterday, coupled with the attitude of the emperor and the empress towards Zhao Chen, made many people feel that Zhao Chen's future is limitless.
But after Zhao Chen refused one after another, many people began to say bad things about Zhao Chen behind their backs.
"Zhao Chen, now the whole city of Chang'an has spread all over your performance in the hall yesterday."
"Now, you are definitely the hottest person in Chang'an City."
"And, there are many students who are extremely excited to hear your deputy examiner in this autumn exam."
Cheng Chumo walked beside Zhao Chen, holding some gifts prepared by the three of them in his hand, and turned around and said to Zhao Chen.
"Why are you excited?" Zhao Chen was a little surprised.
Whether you are the deputy examiner by yourself should have little impact on the candidates.
"It's been spreading outside now. Your Majesty wants to pay attention to the poor, so you have the opportunity to be the deputy examiner." Li Ruoshuang explained.
"I thought it was because of my ability." Zhao Chen laughed and said with a smile.
Actually, he knows it too.
The emperor insisted on being the deputy examiner, but in fact he wanted to tell the students all over the world.
From this imperial examination, the emperor will open a way to become an official for poor students.
Otherwise, the emperor would not have to spend so much effort in Tai Chi Hall, let him Zhao Chen argue with those people.
"Actually, I feel like I dug a hole in advance, and now I've jumped down by myself." Zhao Chen shook his head and said.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Chumo said with a smile.
"I mentioned the imperial examination reform to Lao Li before, but now he is fine, so he kicked me into the pit." Zhao Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Brother, don't say anything. Your Majesty is really okay to you. I heard from my old man that Your Majesty said that no matter what this matter is done in the future, I will protect you." Cheng Chumo said.
"Old Li is just a liar, and only Uncle Cheng will believe him." Zhao Chen curled his lips and continued to walk forward slowly.
The Duke of Yiguo and Duke of Weiguo are in the same yard.
The three of them walked for a while before they reached the gate of Duke Yiguo's mansion.
"Open the door, I, Old Cheng, are here." Cheng Chumo held the gift in one hand and patted the gate of the Duke's Mansion with the other hand.
"Yaah—"
The door opened and a head was poked out.
"What's wrong? Don't you know me?" Cheng Chumo said.
"General Cheng, why are you here again? Our young master said that you haven't seen guests recently..."
"What are you talking about? I'm a guest? I'm Xiao Qin's brother, even a family. When I go home, you don't open the door for me, be careful to beat you up." Cheng Chumo interrupted the servant of the Duke's Mansion and said unhappy.
When it's okay, Cheng Chumo basically comes to find Qin Huaiyu to play every day.
However, because the two of them had always caused trouble before, Qin Qiong asked his subordinates to come in silently.
Although it is useless every time, the servants of Duke Yiguo’s mansion still dare not neglect them.
Look, Cheng Chumo was blocked again.
"Old Cheng seems to be very unpopular." Zhao Chen smiled and walked to Cheng Chumo.
Looking at the servant who blocked the door but refused to let Cheng Chumo get in, he bowed and said, "Brother, I am Xiao Qin's friend Zhao Chen. I agreed with him yesterday and come and see Uncle Qin today..."
"You are Zhao Chen and Mr. Zhao!" Before Zhao Chen finished speaking, he was excited when he saw the servant's face.
"Young Master Zhao, please come in quickly. The young man didn't know Mount Tai. Yesterday, my master said that Mr. Zhao is the benefactor of our Duke's Mansion. If he comes here, he must receive him well."
"Mr. Zhao, please forgive me. Mr. Zhao." The servant quickly opened the door of the Duke's Mansion and walked inside with his hands.
"I'm fucking..." Cheng Chumo was fooled by the servant's two-faced approach.
He glared at the servant fiercely, silently took the gift and followed.
Li Ruoshuang smiled and shook her head, walked into the Duke's Mansion, and took the door with her.
...
"Father, what do you think today?"
In the Duke of Yiguo’s mansion, Qin Huaiyu held the medicine bowl and fed Qin Qiong the medicine.
Although Qin Qiong's body is slowly recovering, it still takes time.
Qin Huaiyu was frightened this time and now he insisted on feeding Qin Qiong to the medicine himself.
"For my father, I feel that I am much better. It is a blessing for our Qin family to get to know Zhao Chen." Qin Qiong leaned on the couch and said slowly to Qin Huaiyu.
"My father scared Huaiyu yesterday. I thought I would never hear my father call me again in this life." Qin Huaiyu's face was filled with a look of gratitude.
If it weren't for Zhao Chen, he would have to watch his father die in front of him.
Qin Huaiyu never wanted to experience that tormented mood again.
"A person will die after all. If you can save your life by chance this time, God will treat me well."
"Huaiyu, Zhao Chen's identity is definitely not simple. If you treat him sincerely, he will treat you as brothers and sisters. Don't let him down in the future."
"Otherwise, I will not agree." Qin Qiong and Qin Huaiyu instructed.
"Don't worry, Father, why is Huaiyu such a person? Zhao Chen is my brother, how could I let him down?"
"By the way, Zhao Chen said yesterday that he will come to see you in the morning, and I think the time is about the same..."
"Young Master! Young Master, Young Master Zhao is here!"
The voice of the servant came from outside.
"Xiao Qin, I want to deal with this servant in your mansion today, can I?" Cheng Chumo's roar also came in.
"Help as father..."
"Father, you lie down, Zhao Chen won't care about these things." Qin Huaiyu quickly stopped Qin Qiong.
Zhao Chen never cared about the complicated gifts. The more you are, the more uncomfortable you feel.
"Okay, go and invite them in." Qin Qiong nodded and lay down on the couch.
Qin Huaiyu left the room and saw Zhao Chen standing at the door at a glance.
Cheng Chumo grinned at the servant beside him.
Li Ruoshuang stood beside Zhao Chen with a smile on his face.
"Zhao Chen, come in, sister-in-law, Lao Cheng, you all come in soon."
"Go and get some pastries."
Qin Huaiyu pulled Zhao Chen and said to him.
When several people walked into the room, they saw that Qin Qiong's face was still slightly pale.
"Zhao Chen, come here, sit here." Qin Qiong waved at Zhao Chen with a smile on his face.
"How does Uncle Qin feel?" Zhao Chen sat down on the stool and put a pulse on Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong looked at Zhao Chen's face and whispered several times.
He wanted to ask what the relationship between Zhao Chen and the emperor was, and why the two looked so similar.
However, Qin Qiong finally held back.
"I feel like my body is getting stronger, and I don't feel cold all over as before." Qin Qiong smiled and said to Zhao Chen.
"Uncle Qin has been fighting for many years, has lost too much blood and has never replenished it. It is normal for him to feel cold."
"In the days of cultivation, Uncle Qin can recover. Maybe he will go there next time he fights in Tubo." Zhao Chen took back his hand and said to Qin Qiong.
After the blood transfusion, Qin Qiong's problem was no longer great.
Although due to age problems, we cannot return to our peak state, there will be no other situations.
"That's also a blessing to have you, otherwise..."
