Uncle from a poor family

Chapter 562 Big shot (please vote for me)
"How is it? Will my godfather let me go up to pay my respects?"

As soon as Ping Bao walked to the backyard, he saw his children lined up neatly, waiting to go upstairs to offer tea to their "godfather".

His wife, Yang, was looking at him anxiously.

Ping Bao smiled bitterly and said, "I mentioned this to my adoptive father, but he told you to be a good wife and not to always think about showing up in public. This is a warning to you."

"Hey, how am I unfaithful to my husband? It was you who said that our whole family should offer tea to our foster father, so I brought all the children here, including the ones born to your concubine... Do you believe me..."

Yang was obviously not a person who could be easily defeated, and she was about to roll up her sleeves and beat the man.

Ping Bao quickly stepped back and shouted, "What are you doing? My godfather is watching from above. The eunuch Tan Jitan from the Imperial Household Department is here too. I heard that there are two other important people who haven't arrived yet... If you make any noise here and my godfather hears you, I will punish you for sure!"

"Stop scaring me!"

Yang said she was not convinced, but her voice was indeed not as loud as before.

Ping Bao was slightly relieved and scolded, "You woman, I married you because you came from a scholarly family. I thought you were talented and beautiful, but I never thought that you would show your true colors less than ten years after we got married. If you keep making trouble, I'll divorce you!"

"Don't try to scare me. If you have the guts, just stop. I'll take the children away, even the ones born to your concubine..."

"Leave if you can!"

Ping Bao didn't know where he got the courage from, but he started arguing with his wife.

The concubine heard the noise and hurried over, looking aggrieved, and asked, "Madam, is it our turn to go up?"

Yang scolded, "It's none of your business, get out of here! You dress up all day long like a goblin. If I had known, I wouldn't have married into the Heike family. You're such an ungrateful person... It's not like I can't have children, why would I take concubines? And take two..."

"Isn't it to bring good luck to my seriously ill mother?"

Ping Bao was about to argue, but when he saw Yang's fierce eyes, he lost his confidence instantly and quickly turned his head away, "Let's go to the kitchen and take a look. The chef must use his lifelong skills to prepare today's wine and dishes, otherwise our family's reputation will be gone.

"Perhaps this is the only chance for our family to show off in this lifetime!"

A boy of about seven or eight years old asked, "Dad, isn't your godfather very powerful? With your godfather backing you up, are you still afraid of not having a chance?"

Ping Bao scolded, "You little brat, don't talk nonsense if you don't know the situation. Do you know how many godchildren your godfather has? It's rare that he needs me today, so he came to our house. Normally, even if I kneel in front of the Qin Mansion and beg for an audience, I won't see him! Let's get to work, family! Don't always listen to your mother, she just likes to stir up trouble."

upstairs.

Tan Chang and Tan Ji were both waiting anxiously.

Almost half an hour later, it was already the agreed time, but no one was in sight.

At this time, Huai En sent someone to inform him of the situation in the palace.

"Thank you, Eunuch Tan... Eunuch Huai asked me to pass on a message, saying that he is busy and may not have time to come. Besides, it is not good to ask outsiders to do things casually... Eunuch Huai did not make his words too clear, and only asked me to convey the previous words... You should understand what he meant, right?"

The visitor was also very confused.

The conversation was incoherent, but he forced himself to write down all of it, not daring to make a single mistake for fear of saying the wrong thing.

Qin Ji frowned and asked, "What do you mean? You're not coming? Then we still..."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not in a hurry at all!"

Qin Chang rolled his eyes at Qin Ji, then said to the visitor, "Go back and tell Eunuch Huai that if it's not possible, then why didn't he object when we first mentioned it? Isn't this just teasing him? We've already said it!"

"This……"

The visitor had a dazed look on his face, obviously not knowing what to do.

Qin Ji calmly ordered: "You don't need to know what it means, just convey the message... Go quickly!"

"Oh yes."

The visitor quickly bowed and left.

I thought to myself, this is so troublesome to convey the message to the people above, they all like to play tricks. If I had known this earlier, I would not have thought about being in the spotlight.

…………

As soon as the messenger left, Qin Ji hurriedly asked, "What should we do? Zhang Guozhang will be here soon, what should we say?"

Qin Chang said: "Eunuch Huai probably doesn't want people to know that he is sick, so he is avoiding it... Your Majesty may not know about this matter until now... It seems that he wants to conceal it to the end."

"But……"

Qin Ji was a little anxious. "We know it, but we haven't told His Majesty yet. Isn't this deceiving..."

Qin Chang interrupted him and said, "Remember, I did this, and it doesn't involve you. Maybe I shouldn't have told you from the beginning. I have done what I should do, and I have a clear conscience!"

"Will Zhang Guozhang come?"

Tan Ji asked.

"It's best not to come."

Tan Chang was a little impatient.

As they were talking, the people sent by Zhang Luan arrived.

"How about it?"

As soon as the man appeared at the stairs, Qin Chang hurried over to inquire.

Zhang Luan’s representative is Chai Meng.

Chai Meng looked at the two old men dressed as eunuchs in front of him and immediately felt that something was not right. He said quickly, "Two old gentlemen, Mr. Zhang said that it is somewhat inappropriate to treat people. He may need to consider it carefully and give you a reply later. I apologize in advance."

Qin Ji said: "Consider? How do you consider? If Zhang Guozhang doesn't come, doesn't that mean he has given his answer?"

Qin Chang's face was dark, and he looked very annoyed: "I was kind enough to act as a go-between for them, but in the end, neither the patient nor the doctor could refuse! It seems that neither the doctor nor the patient cares about it, and I am left here as a middleman to starve, right?"

"Old man, please calm down."

Chai Meng hurriedly explained, "Mr. Zhang didn't say he would ignore the matter. He sent his son... here."

When Qin Ji heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked excitedly, "Who is it, the second young master?"

Chai Meng nodded and said, "It's him."

Qin Ji smiled and said, "It's great that the Second Young Master is here... It seems that Mr. Zhang is still a responsible person after all... Don't you think so?"

Qin Ji looked back at Qin Chang and was about to celebrate together, but when he saw Qin Chang's dark face, his smile froze instantly.

Because he suddenly realized a problem.

Huai En didn't come, and only Zhang Yanling came. Even if Zhang Yanling had half the ability of his father and could see something... he still had to call the patient.

Do I need to consult a doctor remotely?
Is it still separated by the walls of the Forbidden City?

Qin Chang nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are so thoughtful... May I know your name?"

Chai Meng hurriedly bowed again: "I am Chai Meng, from Shanxi, a student who arrived in the capital at the end of last year. Now I am teaching in Zhang's house, responsible for teaching the second young master."

"Cough cough."

When Qin Ji heard this way of introducing himself, he instantly felt that he was blind and asked in great shock, "Mr. Chai, are you saying... that you are the second young master's teacher? The second young master is your student?"

Qin Ji's excited expression clearly said, I have met a great god!
What level of person is the second son of the Zhang family?
Anyone who can be a teacher to the second son of Zhang family must be a man of extraordinary talent. If he were to go out into the world, he must be at the level of Zhuge Liang, right?
Chai Meng's face flushed, and he explained awkwardly: "To be honest, I have only been in the Zhang Mansion for a short time. I usually run errands for the Second Young Master, and have little time to teach him knowledge. I dare not call myself a teacher. In fact, the Second Young Master has taught me... a lot."

Qin Ji was relieved at this, and said with a smile: "You must be very talented to be the second young master's teacher. I am Qin Ji, and this is Qin Chang... We are both palace servants. Today we come to Mr. Zhang to seek the method of curing diseases and saving lives."

"My two lords, I have long heard of your great names. I am honored to be here."

Chai Meng quickly saluted.

I thought to myself, I can be said to have met an honorable person when I went out. The two eunuchs Qin from the Imperial Household Department are the absolute powerful figures at the moment, and I unexpectedly met them.

Then my luck really is...

Changing your fate against all odds?
