Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 252 The Speechless Uncle
For twenty years, my grandfather never expressed how upset he was about Aunt Chengjiao's death.

Even when Aunt Chengjiao's portrait was lost last time, he was just feeling sad for a while.

But the more such feelings are, the deeper they are buried, the more annoyed and regretted they become day by day.

If someone opened the slightest wound, blood would flow profusely.

Even if that person was his granddaughter whom he had loved for more than ten years, Zhao Qing bared his teeth and claws like a wounded tiger.

Zhao Jinyi stood up suddenly, looking at his unreasonable grandfather, his voice was hoarse because of excitement: "Grandfather, my aunt has already gone. The man has passed away, but there are still so many people in the Zhao family, you don't care Are we dead or alive?"

Zhao Qing Xiuran opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhao Jinyi.

Xu, the girl in front of her, came over because she was anxious, her hair was only pulled back in a random bun.Her appearance without makeup is somewhat similar to Cheng Jiao's.The girls from the Zhao family are more or less similar to Cheng Jiao.

But Chengjiao is Chengjiao, no one can replace his beloved daughter.

With more and more girls in the Zhao family, Zhao Qing found out in a panic that no one can be Jiaojiao, no one can replace Jiaojiao!

As for the life and death of the Zhao family... Jiaojiao had exchanged her life for twenty years ago!

Zhao Qing lowered his eyes, showing his old age, but he still didn't speak.

Zhao Jinyi still wanted to say, a big hand gently pulled her sleeve: "Let Mr. Zhao think about it."

She suddenly took Song Jingxing's hand and walked outside.

The night is as cool as water, and stars appear faintly in the sky.

She asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me about the armory?"

Song Jingxing also said in a low voice: "Sorry, Jin Yi, I think it's better to talk about it in front of everyone." He was afraid that the little girl in front of him would be too strong and would take everything on him.But for such a big matter, he couldn't just sit and watch his beloved girl take it all in.Although he will share it for her, some people still have to bear the responsibilities that some people should bear.

Zhao Jinyi sighed slightly.

She never thought that the Zhao family, which had always been relatively peaceful, would have such a night.Or maybe, from the moment the third uncle decided to dedicate the third sister to King Zhong, the wheel of fate had already started to turn.Or maybe, this is all the superficial peace... Only the grandfather alone bears everything.

She can ignore her uncle's affairs, but if it involves the entire Zhao family, she can't be at ease.

Song Jingxing didn't let go of her sleeve: "Jinyi, the Chunguang Pavilion is beyond my expectation. Like the third uncle, they know a lot about Linglong Bookstore. Jinyi, have you never noticed that someone is following you? ?”

Zhao Jinyi shook his head: "If the Chunguang Pavilion has great powers, no matter how cautious I am, it will be hard to guard against it. Who would have thought that the Chunguang Pavilion would be more mysterious than my Linglong Bookstore?"

And who would have thought that Saburo Shijia was inextricably related to Chunguang Pavilion?Thinking about it, he had previously said that he had no intention of official career, and that he was studying in Chunguang Pavilion every day, but this was just the beginning of a conspiracy.Thinking of this, Zhao Jinyi frowned slightly.Who would have thought that an inconspicuous, powerless scholar would turn out to be a wolf in human skin.

Zhao Jinyi asked again: "But are you looking for the third sister?"

Song Jingxing nodded: "I asked her if she would like to go back to the Zhao family, but she is not willing." He paused and said, "I saw the determination on her face." So he didn't try to persuade her.After everyone has experienced something unbearable, there will always be some kind of resolution.What he wanted to persuade originally, he swallowed it back in the end.

Zhao Jinyi raised his eyebrows, the third sister is...

There was a lot of noise outside, but Manager Hu pushed Zhao Chengze in.

Zhao Chengze was sleeping soundly after spending time with his concubine, when Guanshi Hu led someone into the door and tied him tightly without saying a word.

Zhao Chengze also mistakenly thought that Zhao Jinyi was going to capture him, and immediately yelled at him all the way, making chickens fly.

At this moment, seeing Zhao Jinyi and Song Jingxing standing together and talking intimately, the arrogance that was still angry just now was half gone: "Nephew Song, son-in-law Ji Ye came, why didn't you wake up uncle?" Song Jingxing didn't hear what he scolded Zhao Jinyi just now.Oh, he still wants to find Song Jingxing for work!

Before Song Jingxing could reply, Guanshi Hu pushed him into the room.

The old father in the room looked indifferent, and the second younger brother Zhao Chengde glanced at him with contempt on his face.

"Naughty animal!" The old father suddenly asked him sharply, "What good things have you done in Jiangzhou!"

Zhao Chengze was taken aback.What good thing can he do, isn't it just taking advantage of his power to snatch a few concubines.Now the concubines are also dead set on him.

Zhao Qing looked at him disappointedly.The three sons he gave birth to were actually more dull than the other, and one was more troublesome than the other!If his Jiaojiao was still there, such a thing would never have happened!
After all, Zhao Chengde still had a bit of compassion, and reminded his elder brother: "Brother is in Jiangzhou, has he ever used his seal to overwrite the account book of ordnance materials?"

Zhao Chengze stammered suddenly: "This, this, of course it was overshadowed! It's also my fault that I didn't write to tell you that six years ago, the director of the Jiangzhou Armament Institute was seriously ill and couldn't be on duty, so I took his place. , worked for the Jiangzhou Military Arms Office for a while..." I have to say that in Lu State, any work involving armaments is a pleasant job.But he was timid after all, so he got greedy a few times, and the amount was not large.He is mainly obsessed with beauty... Ahem, he took the opportunity to recruit two more beauties.

There is such a thing!

Zhao Chengde cursed first: "Absurd!"

Later, Zhao Qing's furious scolding rushed towards Zhao Chengze like a storm: "You son, evil beast! I have always saved you from liking beautiful women and taking credit for it. Therefore, when you go to Jiangzhou to take up the post, I have repeatedly reminded you not to do anything wrong. , don’t do anything wrong! Sinister, you think your wings are stiff and you can fly...Nizi, you are trying to piss me off!"

Zhao Chengze was scolded and refused to accept it at all: "Father, the boy didn't do anything! The atmosphere in Jiangzhou Prefecture is similar. If the boy doesn't get involved, this official won't last long!"

A porcelain bowl was thrown towards him, and Zhao Chengze, who was always strong, quickly dodged away.

The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered into several petals.

"Naughty animal! How dare you hide!" Zhao Qing's voice almost broke the roof.

Zhao Chengze's brain was aroused, and he looked at his old father with a stiff neck: "Father, in your heart, no matter what the three of us do, you are not satisfied. Only Zhao Chengjiao is your heart and soul. It's a pity that she is no longer here! I will take care of you in the future." It can only be the three of us who will die in retirement!"

This is which pot is not opened to mention which pot.

Zhao Chengde frowned: "Brother!" The younger sister is the eternal pain in his father's heart, and the elder brother must be sleepy!

Zhao Qing stared at Zhao Chengze, his lips were tightly pursed, and his old eyes flashed with disappointment.

He suddenly lowered his hands weakly, and said in a deep voice, "Boy of the Song family, you can do whatever you want, and you don't need to worry about anyone in the Zhao family. After all, the Zhao family's twenty years of peace should not be there."

Zhao Chengde was taken aback, what did his father mean by these words?
Zhao Chengze was confused: "What does it have to do with nephew Song?" His mind was spinning rapidly, whether he could ask Song Jingxing to do that...

Song Jingxing and Zhao Jinyi came in together, and told Zhao Chengze about the matter again.

Zhao Chengze was really stunned this time: "As high as ten thousand taels of silver? No, it's impossible, I remember clearly that the list that the man brought was only one thousand taels of silver... He said, the amount is so It's so small, no one will check..."

Stubborn!Even now, I still think that embezzlement from ordnance materials is a trivial matter!
Zhao Jinyi frowned: "Uncle, do you think it's a trivial matter to shoddy ordnance materials?"

Zhao Chengze said awkwardly, "Isn't it common for soldiers to die on the battlefield?"

　Thank you for the recommendation ticket of Burning Weeds, okay~
