Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 224 Zhu Houcong's Enthusiasm
"Eldest son!"

Zhu Chen walked up directly and bowed to salute.

"Why are you here?"

Qin Shao was a little surprised. Qin Shao didn't communicate with Xing Wangfu about their return.

But then he realized that with Wang Tu there, the news of their return must have been communicated to King Xing long ago.

"Eldest son, the prince knows that you are back, and has been waiting for you at home! Here at home... this meal is waiting for you..."

Looking at the lively banquet, Zhu Chen said in a low voice with some hesitation.

It's all the fault of the man guarding the ferry. That man had diarrhea and went to the latrine but didn't pick up the eldest son.

Later, when he didn't see the boy from the Zhang family who had been waiting for someone, he realized that the eldest son had returned and was picked up.

King Xing also received the letter, and waited for the eldest son to go back to eat together without eating.

The prince didn't eat, who among them would dare to eat?

Looking at the leftovers from the sumptuous banquet, and his stomach still rumbling, Zhu Chen felt a little aggrieved.

Others didn't know Zhu Chen's identity, but Shunzi and Zhang Gouzi did.

The two were robbing people at first, but now they are silent.

"Father!"

Wang Yin looked at Qin Shao.

"Let's go!"

Qin Shao was a little helpless.

If he was going to Xuanmiao Temple, Qin Shao felt more comfortable, but he was going to Xingwang Mansion, so he always felt uncomfortable.

……

Xingwangfu.

There was a crackling sound.

"My son! My son!"

"Don't fall! Don't fall! The prince lives in the mansion these days, so be careful when he hears it."

Internal officer Li An dissuaded him.

"He is only happy to welcome his precious eldest son, how could he think of me? If his eldest son is not coming back these days, why would he want to come back from Xuanmiao Temple? I asked him to come back several times, He has long forgotten that he has this family, and he has another son!"

Zhu Houcong said with bloodshot eyes and gritted teeth.

"My son! My son, don't be angry. No matter what, the position of the son of Xing Wangfu is still yours. Isn't that person not recognized in Xingwang's mansion? He is still an outsider now, which means that the prince... the prince still prefers yours."

Li An wanted to stop Zhu Houcong who continued to smash, but he was worried that something would hit him, so he could only cower and hide aside.

"Way? What a ghost! If my mother didn't fight with her life, do you think he would give me the position of son? His heart is crooked. When the bastard can't determine his identity, he will follow him." You are so close, you are closer than you are to my own son! After that person left, people will always send things during the festivals. You think I don't know!"

"My lord, don't talk nonsense, be careful, be careful that walls have ears, in case... in case you are overheard..."

"Shut up! If you don't go out and talk nonsense, who will talk! If you dare to let others know, be careful of your life..."

"No, I absolutely dare not talk nonsense! I dare not!"

Li An was trembling with fright.

"Master! Zhang Fengzheng... the long lock beside Zhang Fengzheng is coming!"

A small internal officer outside stood at the door and shouted in panic.

"You...you are going to pack these things up!"

Zhu Houcong looked outside and said in a panic.

He quickly tidied up his clothes and came out from the inner room with a look on his face.

"My lord, the lord said that the eldest son is back, and I want you to go to Longfei Hall for dinner later."

Said a father-in-law's voice from outside.

"Understood, thank you for your hard work! You tell the father that I will be there in a while."

……

It still feels unreal for Qin Shao to step into Prince Xing's Mansion again.

Earlier, this place was an unattainable place for him, but after getting to know King Xing, he felt that it was a mysterious place.

"Hee'er!"

As soon as Qin Shao arrived at the gate of Feilong Palace, Zhu Youzhao greeted him.

His face was full of joy.

It's just that the hair on the head seems to be more than half white, and it is more than ten years older than before.

The slight dissatisfaction in Qin Shao's heart disappeared the moment he saw him.

This is a man who once really cared about himself!

Even though the relationship between the two reveals too much complexity.

Seeing Zhu Youzhao's haggardness and aging, he still couldn't help feeling sorry for his difficulty.

"Wang... wangye!"

Qin Shao hesitated, stepped forward and bowed in salute.

"You... just come back! Just come back!"

Zhu Youzhao was stunned for a while, then pretended to be indifferent and smiled.

Invite Qin Shao to eat in the store.

"I heard that you ate outside and prepared it at home. You can also eat some when you come in. Let's chat."

Zhu Youzhao led Qin Shao into the hall.

"By the way, Xing'er, your elder brother is back, and you're coming to see him too?"

Zhu Youtang shouted at Zhu Houcong who was standing on one side.

"Brother Wang! You are back! Father Wang has long hoped for your return. When we were writing and painting together, he often mentioned you and said that I should learn from you."

Zhu Houcong stepped forward to hold Qin Shao enthusiastically and said, with a childish smile on his face.

Zhu Youzhu nodded with satisfaction.

Qin Shao didn't know why, but always felt that there was something weird in his enthusiasm.

"Thank you sir, I'll sit here."

Facing Zhu Houcong's strange enthusiasm, Qin Shao calmly moved some distance away and sat down in the next seat.

"Xi'er, you don't have to be polite! Xi'er is your own younger brother. I have already told him about your general situation, and he also knows that it is not easy for you to be outside. You take a different path from him, even if you plan to go out by yourself Work hard, your younger brother will be a vassal in the future, and we will take care of each other in the future."

Seeing that the relationship between the two sons is still harmonious, Zhu Youtang felt very relieved.

Except for the father and son and Zhang Zuo who was waiting on the side, there was no one else in the hall.

Now that Li Su is old, he bought a house nearby for the elderly, and Zhang Zuo has completely taken over the service of King Xing.

Qin Shao had already eaten a lot before, even though there was plenty of food on the table, he only ate a few chopsticks.

Zhu Youzhao didn't eat much, but kept asking about the situation in Shangjing.

Qin Shao just nodded and said that he opened a small shop in Shangjing, and his life was okay.

"Now the emperor lets the imperial family take part in the imperial examination and serve the country. It's a good time for you. Now that I'm old, it's a good time for you to show your skills..."

Zhu Youzhu suddenly brought up this topic.

"Father, I think... I think this matter is unreliable. We haven't read those special exam books for the Four Books and Five Classics. What can we take the exam for? Not to mention, even if we pass the exam, those salaries are not enough for our teeth." Damn, don’t tell me that if we pass the exam, we will abandon these family properties and live in poverty! I...I don’t want to take the exam!”

Zhu Houcong really didn't understand why his father supported the scientific research so much.

"You...you don't take the test, so naturally we have our family business. Those distant clans have a lot of bad lives, and they have nothing to do all day long. They are lazy, and sooner or later they will lose their family business! You only think about yourself , I don’t want to think about the future generations, it’s really..."

Zhu Youtang looked at his youngest son with a bad expression.

Now the youngest son's health is much better, he's not eating any elixir, it's just that he doesn't have the vigor of a young man all day long!

Why!think about it...

"Xiao'er, go to your mother's concubine's bedroom after eating, don't mess around all day, go and see your mother's concubine more. I heard that you haven't passed much time."
