After listening to what Wang Fu said, Zhou Zekai understood why the old lady wanted to sell the house. Now is the time when the old and the new are changing. Those officials, after arresting people, still make a lot of money. If the world is not so peaceful in the future, it is not certain what will happen...
It's just that Zhao Kun made Zhou Zekai very curious, could this person be Hou Qi? And the so-called dragon and phoenix jade pendant, is it really related to the Zhao family
"If the old matriarch recognized her relatives with this dragon and phoenix jade pendant, wouldn't she be afraid of recognizing the wrong person?"
Hearing his master's question, Wang Fu was taken aback, and then said.
"My young master doesn't know that this dragon and phoenix jade pendant is a gift from the emperor. It was given to the old matriarch who was still the princess. It can be regarded as a birthday gift. After the old matriarch had a son, he let his son wear it. The son is gone, so the granddaughter took it with her, and the dragon and phoenix jade pendant has never been found since the young lady was taken away, so if you find the person wearing the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, it must be the Zhao family."
Nowadays, there is no such thing as a blood test, and everyone can only rely on tokens, so what Wang Fu said is probably the whole truth.
"Oh." Zhou Zekai nodded, and then remembered another thing.
"Then where does the old lady live now?"
Such a big house was sold for a hundred thousand taels of silver, so the family is probably empty. From what the housekeeper said, it is estimated that apart from the old lady, only the granddaughter and Zhao Kun are left.
"Back to the young master, the old matriarch took the remaining servants to the west to buy a five-entry house. It was relatively cheap there, but the law and order was not very good. The people around the old matriarch had signed death contracts a few years ago. The old man is very loyal."
Although he didn't understand why his young master would ask this question, Wang Fu still answered the young master's question with heart. As a housekeeper, when the master asked questions, he couldn't say he didn't know.
"Oh... I see, then you go down first."
He waved his hand and asked Wang Fu to go down first. Zhou Zekai then slowly took out the remaining half of the dragon and phoenix jade pendant from his body. Looking at the dragon, he never thought that he might find his relatives just after he arrived. .
Could the so-called old lady really be his great-grandmother? And that woman who was deceived. Thinking of this, Zhou Zekai decided that he would pay a visit tomorrow, right? After all, we have to make sure, don't we
Having made a decision in his heart, Zhou Zekai planned to pay a visit, and asked Wang Fu to go to the Zhao family to inform him first, and then he began to make preparations. After all, he might want to meet his future family members. Zhou Zekai still hoped that he would behave well. The family is also very accessible, which is even better.
After the old lady of the Zhao family received the news that someone was going to visit, she was also a little puzzled, thinking that she didn't know anyone in the Zhou family, and heard that the child came to the capital from other places. After thinking about it, she didn't refuse. Granddaughter broke the news.
Zhao Kun did not come back from gambling outside again, the two women had nothing to do with him, and finally rescued him, but he was still so slutty, the old lady of the Zhao family looked at her granddaughter crying silently, He could only comfort him softly.
She has been very strong in her whole life, from getting married to watching her son get married, and then to her granddaughter, if it weren't for Mrs. Zhao's support, the family would have fallen into ruin long ago. Now because of Zhao Kun, the family has come to such a ruin. In the end, Mrs. Zhao is also helpless.
The world is not peaceful, the royal family is worthless, all the officials outside are disobedient, and there are warlords from other places, etc. All kinds of news are clear to Mrs. Zhao, and it is precisely because of this that she feels that the capital is not good. Safety, after saving Zhao Kun this time, she intends to inquire and send her granddaughter to a safe place.
Zhao Kun's grandson is unreliable, and his granddaughter is weak. Now Mrs. Zhao is afraid that if she goes, her granddaughter will not know how to be bullied...
This night, both Zhou Zekai and Mrs. Zhao suffered from insomnia, but they were still in good spirits.
Early the next morning, Zhou Zekai sorted out some presents, followed Wang Fu's advice, brought some cloth, and came to Zhao's house to visit.
The Zhao family's servants are indeed servants of the older generation, and they are all in better shape than Zhou Zekai's servants. It's just that when one of the old women saw Zhou Zekai, she rushed towards him.
"Young master! Are you back, young master!!!"
While talking, he actually burst into tears, which surprised Zhou Zekai, who was about to enter the inner courtyard. Today he was wearing a moonlight brocade robe, and he looked like a Mr. Pianpianjia, although his height still made people look up to him.
The old lady of the Zhao family who was sitting inside also heard the crying cry outside, especially when she heard that the voice turned out to be her son's nurse, she hurriedly got up and wanted to go outside, and Zhao Jing hurriedly supported her grandma go outside.
As soon as the two came out, they saw Zhou Zekai standing there in embarrassment, and the weeping nanny kneeling beside Zhou Zekai's legs...
Mrs. Zhao's eyes fell on Zhou Zekai's body, her whole body paused, and then she almost leaned over, and Zhao Jing who was beside her hurriedly supported her, tremblingly holding a crutch, looking at the young man in front of her, but It's red eyes.
so similar! so similar! My eldest son... the eldest son I haven't seen for so many years...
Zhao Jing also had time to look at Zhou Zekai at this moment, she was taken aback when her eyes touched Zhou Zekai, and then she couldn't believe it, because the person in front of her was so similar in appearance to her father! Just a lot taller than my father...
When she was young, her father doted on her very much and often held her on his shoulders. She still remembers it very clearly.
"Grandma, did you recognize the wrong person? I'm not the young master."
Helping the person kneeling in front of him up, Zhou Zekai was also helpless, but he understood that he might be inherited from another generation, somewhat similar to the grandfather who died early, otherwise, he would not be called the eldest master.
"Eldest Young Master... Eldest Young Master... You are the Eldest Young Master! You and the Eldest Young Master are carved out of the same mold... How could I admit my mistake? How could I admit my mistake?"
The nanny cried and stood up, but she still pulled Zhou Zekai's clothes, as if she didn't want Zhou Zekai to leave.
The old lady of the Zhao family also walked in front of Zhou Zekai at this moment, and stretched out her hand tremblingly towards Zhou Zekai.
"Son, you, come here, let me, let me take a good look at you."
He was sure that his son had passed away, but seeing a child who looked so similar to his son, the old matriarch of the Zhao family still had red eyes and choked up when he spoke.
Zhou Zekai looked at the old woman, and knew the identity of this person, she must be the old lady whom Wang Fu admired very much, so he bent down and brought his face closer.
"Zhao Taijun, I'm Zhou Zekai. Yesterday my butler handed over the post, and I'm here to visit you today."
While talking, Mrs. Zhao didn't have time to listen. She reached out her hand tremblingly to touch Zhou Zekai's face, but in the end she didn't touch it. After taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down.
"Okay, good boy, it's cold outside, come in with me."
Although it's just the beginning of spring, the weather outside is still a bit cold. Seeing the child's thin clothes, Mrs. Zhao felt a little distressed, and hurriedly asked Zhou Zekai to follow her in.
After arriving in the hall, Zhou Zekai realized that it was indeed much warmer inside.
After telling Mrs. Zhao to sit down, Zhou Zekai took out his jade pendant from his pocket and put it on the table.
"Old Madam, to tell you the truth, I came here specially today because I wanted to know something about the past. I wonder if you know this jade, Madam?"
As soon as Mrs. Zhao's eyes fell on the jade pendant, she was taken aback, then she raised her head to look at Zhou Zekai, a moment of disbelief flashed in her eyes, then she stretched out her hand to take Zhou Zekai's jade pendant in her hand, and watched it carefully. After a while, I was sure that this was the dragon pendant among the dragon and phoenix jade pendants. Back then, the dragon and phoenix jade pendants were one or a pair. , the other one, unexpectedly appeared in front of her at this time.
And this child in front of me who looks so similar to his son, could it be... Could it be...
The absurd thought almost flashed in my mind, Mrs. Zhao felt that all of this was simply impossible, if, if it was really what she thought, then... wouldn't it be that the child in front of her was her great-grandson
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhou Zekai excitedly, and said.
"Child, where did you come from, this jade pendant?"
She asked tremblingly, she wanted to hear the answer she wanted to hear from the child opposite, because the child was so similar in appearance to her son... How could there be such a coincidence in the world
