After hearing Zhao Xingwen's words, Xia Chu couldn't help laughing...
"So it's so difficult for you to live and grow up?" Xia Chu whispered to Zhao Xingwen.
Zhao Xingwen raised his neck and looked at him sideways, as if he liked it for himself.
Seeing that Gu Shirou couldn't sit still and was about to get up to beat Zhao Xingwen, General Zhao coughed lightly and said, "Eat them all, why are you mentioning him for old things?"
When Gu Shirou heard this, she just got off the stool and sat down again.
After General Zhao took the dishes first, the rest of the people started to use their chopsticks. After eating this bite, everyone's expressions changed. Mrs. Zhao even found that the dishes near her were very easy to eat. She He looked at Xia Chu and asked, "Did you really do all this?"
When Zhao Xingwen saw General Zhao open his chopsticks, he had already dived into the bowl. At this time, he looked at their surprised expressions and felt extremely proud. He chewed the vegetables and replied vaguely: "It's delicious, isn't it?" , when we were..."
Another chopstick hit him, but this time, it was Old General Zhao.
Zhao Xingwen was hit on the head, and with the word 'military camp' in his mouth, he realized it, lowered his head and whispered: "In the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion couldn't believe it when he ate it."
Xia Chu looked at him with an expression that said you deserved your talk, then turned to Mrs. Zhao and said: "Grandma, these steamed minced meat eggs, shrimp tofu, radish and crucian carp soup in front of you are all specially made for you, by the way. , I will make you some egg flakes, minced meat and vegetable porridge later, you can drink some after you finish it."
Mrs. Zhao nodded and glanced at General Zhao with relief: "This child is really sensible."
Gu Shirou sighed with emotion: "Lan Sheng would be so happy to see you look like this."
Old General Zhao frowned slightly: "If you don't eat, you will be eaten up by that little bastard Xingwen."
Zhao Xingwen had just received a chopstick on his forehead and was eating fiercely without saying a word. The ladies looked at his shabby appearance of a hungry tiger and shook their heads, and began to feast.
Although we talked for a long time at the beginning of this meal, we ate it very quickly after using chopsticks. When the maids came to collect the dishes, they all marveled at this. This was probably the cleanest dish in the history of Zhao Mansion. Once, not even a drop of soup was left.
If some of the dishes weren't stained with oil, at first glance, I would have thought they were all clean...
After eating, Gu Shirou originally wanted to chat with Xia Chu about home affairs, but Old General Zhao took him directly to the study, while Zhao Xingwen took Su Qianan down to settle down.
The two of them were the only ones left in the study. General Zhao held his hand and sat down: "Tell me, what else do you want to see me for today?"
Xia Chu sat down next to him and coaxed sweetly: "The most important thing is to come see you. I'm thinking about it."
"Young poor man." Old General Zhao scolded him, but it was obvious that he was still very happy: "Just tell me what you have to say."
Xia Chu smiled: "It's not a big deal. I just heard from my cousin that Guo Weidong was frequently assassinated by people in the camp?"
General Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly and his expression suddenly hardened.
Xia Chu said quickly: "Grandpa, don't blame my cousin. I'm not an outsider either. I have some merit in capturing Guo Weidong. Knowing his current condition, it's not too much."
Old General Zhao's face softened slightly and he nodded: "It is true, but unfortunately no one was left alive, and the person behind it is unknown."
Xia Chu put his head forward and said, "I heard from my cousin that someone once left a secret message. What was that secret message?"
General Zhao was silent for a moment and lowered his eyelids: "I can't remember clearly."
Xia Chu looked startled. He didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, he actually said such a perfunctory word. It was impossible for Old General Zhao to even guard himself. There was only one possibility. He stood up and squatted beside Old General Zhao's legs, so that he had to look. He said to himself: "Grandpa, you don't want me to get involved in this matter?"
Old General Zhao touched his cheek: "Yun Yi, I know you have big ideas, but grandpa will handle matters in the military camp by himself. You should not have anything to do with Han Yang again."
Xia Chu stretched out his hand to cover Old General Zhao's hand, frowning and looking a little anxious: "But this matter concerns Li..."
"Yun Yi!" Old General Zhao scolded him sharply.
Xia Chu sighed, forget it, General Zhao did it for his own good no matter what the reason was. Everyone has secrets that cannot be told, and he himself couldn't tell them all. He just didn't expect that this trip would be in vain. And return.
"Grandpa is doing this for your own good." Seeing him sigh, General Zhao felt affection in his heart again, and pulled him up to sit down again.
"Yun Yi knows." Xia Chu smiled and signaled that he was fine. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, he changed the topic: "When will grandpa return to Hanyang, I can see you off."
Old General Zhao waved his hand: "There is no need to send him off. I am too old to see the scene of separation, and I don't want to bother people. I will just pack my bags and leave the city quietly in the past few days."
Xia Chu's nose was slightly sore and her eyes were a little red.
"Look, grandpa just can't see you like this." Old General Zhao clapped his hand: "Come, tell me what you did when you didn't return to the capital after leaving the military camp."
…
This, what do you want him to say...
Xia Chu was stunned with his almond-shaped eyes open. He really didn't expect that General Zhao's mind would jump so fast.
"I traveled to Zhucheng for some time." Xia Chu could only make it up now. Fortunately, he had been to many places in his previous life. He randomly picked out some local customs and interesting folklore to have fun with General Zhao. , it can be considered as a blur.
When the time was almost up, Xia Chu stood up and left.
"Xingwen stays in the capital, and you have to keep an eye on him." Old General Zhao told Xia Chu.
"You should tell your sister-in-law about this." Xia Chu joked, and General Zhao grinned.
Xia Chu walked to the door and suddenly turned around with a serious look on his face and asked: "Grandpa, these days, do you really come into the palace just to chat with the emperor?"
General Zhao's cheerful smile froze when he suddenly asked him, and after a moment he called out: "Yun Yi..."
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xia Chu smiled thoughtfully and said, "I know, grandpa, have a nice trip."
When General Zhao saw him turning around and leaving, he called out to his back again: "Yun Yi."
Xia Chu turned his head: "Grandpa, it's not convenient for you to say, I already know what's going on."
Old General Zhao sighed. This child is too smart, which makes people worry: "The only thing grandpa can tell you is that the emperor is a shrewd man. Don't think that he is a weak and incompetent master who allows others to deceive him."
Xia Chu smiled sweetly and waved to General Zhao: "Since he has sat on the position of supreme leader, how can I think that he is incompetent?"
