Chapter 1118 Qi Chan Arrives
Qi Chan got out of the car, looked up at the small courtyard in front of him, and nodded slightly in satisfaction.
He was right about Meng Yunzheng; he could enjoy wealth and endure poverty. Such a person should certainly not live a mediocre, unremarkable life.
The Great Su Dynasty needs talented people.
Especially since a number of officials were punished because of the Second Prince and the Gongqiu incident, the court was short of personnel.
The Junior Tutor is very worried.
Qi Chan sighed, turned his head slightly to the side, and his attendant went up to knock on the door.
After a while, hurried footsteps came from inside. "Coming, coming! What's the rush? I was pounding the medicine. You're back quite early. I thought..."
Zhao Xi opened the courtyard gate, looked up, and his smile froze slightly. Why wasn't it A-Yun and the others who came back?
The attendant who had knocked on the door nodded to him, took a step back, and revealed Qi Chan behind him.
Zhao Xi's eyes widened. "Lord Qi?"
Qi Chan asked with a smile, "Does Young Master Meng Yunzheng live here?"
Zhao Xi pondered whether he should say yes or no.
"May I come in?" Qi Chan's attitude was very kind, but the kinder he was, the more apprehensive Zhao Xi became.
He gave a dry laugh. Did he dare say he couldn't?
Zhao Xi stepped aside and said, "Lord Qi, please come in."
Qi Chan nodded, put his hands behind his back, and went inside. Zhao Xi hurriedly followed behind and said, "Lord Qi, is there something you need to see A-Yun about? It's really unfortunate, he went out of the city and we don't know when he will be back. It's getting late and the city gates are about to close. If he misses it, he may have to stay outside the city."
Qi Chan glanced at the courtyard in front of him. It was indeed a very small courtyard with only a few rooms, but it was tidy and orderly, and had a somewhat cozy feel to it.
Zhao Xi led him into the main room and poured him a glass of water. Qi Chan then said, "No rush, I'll wait here. If he hasn't returned by the time the city gates are closed, I'll come back another day."
Zhao Xi, “…” You’ve said everything, what else can he say? He can’t just kick him out.
He sighed inwardly and could only sit aside and chat with him.
It was just awkward small talk.
The young master wanted to ask about Meng Yunzheng's situation and what he had done over the years. However, Zhao Xi, who seemed to be simple-minded on the surface, managed to dodge the topic of Meng Yunzheng in a roundabout way.
Qi Chan was so angry he laughed.
What are you doing? You're acting like he's a villain who came specifically to cause trouble for Meng Yunzheng.
However, birds of a feather flock together, and Meng Yunzheng's friends are all so astute, let alone him.
Never mind, if he doesn't reply, I won't ask anymore.
Qi Chan said to Zhao Xi, "Doctor Zhao, go about your business. I'll sit and have some tea while I wait for him."
Zhao Xi quickly shook his head, "I'm not busy, I have plenty of free time."
"But I just heard you grinding medicine? Go ahead and grind it, it's fine."
Since he had already said that, Zhao Xi really didn't want to continue dealing with his questions; it was just too exhausting.
So he got up and went back to work without hesitation.
Qi Chan then turned his head to look around at his surroundings. There weren't many things in the house, after all, they had only moved out not long ago.
Furthermore, judging from Meng Yunzheng's words, he will soon leave the capital, and this place is just a temporary stopover.
Just as Qi Chan was thinking this, he suddenly noticed the embroidered antique fan in the corner. Was there a woman living in this house?
