Chapter 76 The First Family Meeting
Zhou Zheng naturally did not take anyone, so he left the Censorate and changed into a regular dress on Zhou Ji, and then went to the restaurant that Shangguan and his brother had booked.
Liu Liuzhe followed Zhou Zheng, but he wanted to speak but stopped.
He knew that Shangguan Qing went to give Zhou Zheng a quilt last night, and the meaning was very obvious, but the second young master actually drove him back. This hurts Miss Shangguan's heart!
Zhou Zheng didn't know that Liu Liuzhe was thinking about this and said casually: "That old liar didn't do anything out of the ordinary, right?"
Liu Liuzhe woke up and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the second young master, except for occasionally going to brothels, he stayed in the yard for other times, and had delicious food and drinks. He didn't mess with the women from the mansion or other places."
Zhou Zheng nodded, took a few more steps, and said, "My new product formula is almost ready. You can find another doctor and I will ask carefully, and then divide the formula into two, half of you, half of the old liar."
Liu Liuzhe suddenly realized that their second young master still didn't believe in the miracle doctor and said, "Yes, don't worry, second young master, I won't reveal any trace of it even if I kill this half."
Zhou Zheng nodded, and the two walked towards the restaurant that the Shangguan family had booked.
In the restaurant, the three of the Shangguan family were there.
Shangguan Xun sat on the chair, his expression still a little dazed.
He was rescued and came out of the imperial prison!
From the third year of the Tianqi period to the present, how many people can come out of the imperial prison? His name was added by the internal supervisor Li Shi himself. The Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, etc. have been filed. The eunuchs attach great importance to it. The emperor's purpose... It really came out like this?
Shangguan Xun is still unreliable, as if he is in a dream.
You know, he was already dead before, and he had already decided to kill the marquis of the prison!
Shangguan Qing looked at Shangguan Xun's dazed expression and poured Shangguan Xun a glass of water and said, "Dad, drink water."
Shangguan Xun turned his head and looked at Shangguan Qing, and said um, picked up the teacup and drank water. Before he could drink it, he suddenly said: "Qing'er, tell your father honestly, who is Zhou Zhengyun? How could he have such great ability?"
Shangguan Qing was very clear about the whole thing. He looked at his father's gaze but didn't know how to say it. After all, many things could not be said, so he blinked and didn't say anything.
Shangguan Lie suddenly interrupted at this time and said, "Dad, you don't know that Zhou Zhengyun is not only a handsome man, but also from a noble family. He also passed the imperial examination early. The most important thing is that he has not yet been married..."
Before he could finish speaking, he welcomed Shangguan Qingqingqing's cold and indifferent eyes.
Shangguan Lie hiccupped, swallowed all the words back, picked up the teacup and lowered his head to drink tea.
Shangguan Xun frowned when he heard Shangguan Lie's words, looked at Shangguan Qing seriously and said, "Qing'er, tell your father honestly, is Zhou Zhengyun a member of the eunuch?"
In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty scholars or the powerful officials and businessmen, the eunuchs' actions were all against each other, and they were despised by them.
If Zhou Zhengyun was really a eunuch party, Shangguan Xun would not allow his daughter to be involved with Zhou Zheng.
Since ancient times, how can treacherous evil spirits last?
Shangguan Qing blinked and said in a crisp voice: "No."
Shangguan Xun looked at his daughter's face, his expression calmed down, and he felt relieved. He picked up the teacup and said repeatedly before drinking: "That's good, that's good..."
Shangguan Lie stretched his head again and said, "Dad, have you always wanted me to take the imperial examination? I can't get it, but my sister..."
Shangguan Lie looked aggrieved and reached out to pinch his feet.
Shangguan Qing had no expression on his face, picked up the teacup in front of him and withdrew his feet.
Shangguan Xun also had a headache with this son, ignored him, looked at the stairs, and thought about how to talk to Zhou Zheng later.
Before he could think about it, Zhou Zheng and Liu Liuzhe had already come up.
Shangguan Xun quickly stood up, and the same was true for Shangguan Qing, but Shangguan Lie had already walked over quickly and looked at Zhou Zheng with a surprise look on his face: "Young Master Zhou, you are here, sit down quickly, just wait for you. What do you want to eat? I'll order you. I've asked about this restaurant. It's the best in Beijing. If you like to eat, I'll bring you here every day..."
Liu Liuzhe looked at Shangguan Lie and was a little stunned. What a mess.
Shangguan Xun coughed, walked over, looked grateful, and raised his hand politely: "Thank you so much for the Censor Zhou this time. If it weren't for the help of Censor Zhou, the old man would probably die in the imperial prison."
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I'm just right, so you don't need to be polite."
Shangguan Xun carefully observed Zhou Zheng and found that he was indeed handsome, elegant, reserved and restrained, with firm eyes, unlike the kind of treacherous gangster. He felt relieved and raised his hand and smiled: "No matter what, the old man's life was saved by the Censor Zhou. Shangguan Xun will never forget this kind of kindness..."
Just as Zhou Zheng was about to speak, Shangguan Lie raised his hand and said seriously: "Young Master Zhou, saving my father is equivalent to saving me. What instructions do you have? Shangguan Lie will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Originally, Shangguan Xun thanked him very seriously, but when he listened to Shangguan Lie's words, the corners of his mouth twitched.
That's right, but this kid isn't talking about that!
Shangguan Qing walked over at the right time and said, "Young Master Zhou, please sit down, dad, sit down."
Shangguan Xun said, "Yes, Censor Zhou, please sit down."
Zhou Zheng was polite and a group of people sat down. Liu Liuzhe didn't want to sit down, but Zhou Zheng pulled him down.
Shangguan Xun looked at it with a slightly different look.
Shangguan Xun was so worldly and did not say much. He said polite words to Zhou Zheng, and quietly savored the inside story of being rescued this time.
Zhou Zheng glanced at Shangguan Qing and said nothing, but just pointed out that the Shangguan family should not make too many requests until this matter ends.
This refers to the Shangguan family's business in Suhanghu and other places. These businesses have been swallowed up by their opponents, and many of the others have fallen into Li Shi's hands and are now entering Zhou Zheng's pocket.
Shangguan Xun naturally understood that it was a blessing to be able to survive, so how could he dare to ask for anything else?
After drinking and food, Zhou Zheng got to the point after drinking a few drinks and said, "What are the plans of Shangguan Storekeeper in the future?"
Shangguan Xun looked a little depressed and said, "The little old man planned to stay in the capital for a few days. If there are no other changes, I will take Qing'er and Lie'er back to my hometown in Huzhou to spend a peaceful life."
This time, Shangguan Xun understood many things, only seeking peace, not wealth.
Shangguan Qing and Shangguan Lie obviously had not talked about Yaxing with Shangguan Xun. Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "I have a Yaxing. I have a lot of things recently. I wonder if Shangguan Shopkeeper can help you, just give me a try?"
Shangguan Xun was stunned, then shook his head and said, "The little old man just wants to go back to his hometown now, but the others don't want to, I can only thank Jingshi Zhou for his kindness."
Shangguan Lie was burying his head and eating vegetables. He raised his head as he heard this and said anxiously: "Civil Zhou, let me do it. All my father will do it. It's the same if I have it..."
Shangguan Xun frowned and looked at the bastard son and became angry secretly.
Shangguan Qing turned to Shangguan Xun now, with a calm face and said, "I won't leave."
Shangguan Xun was stunned, glanced at Zhou Zheng, and said, "Qing'er, you heard from my father that we were all involved in Huzhou, and it would be even more dangerous in the capital. You should go back to your hometown with your father..."
"I won't go back!" Shangguan Lie said with great excitement, "I want to make achievements. What can I do in the countryside? A person like Zhou Jingshi is a big deal. He has rescued you from the imperial prison. What's wrong with helping me? You don't often say that the kindness of water droplets should be repaid with a spring, this is a life-saving grace..."
