Chapter 480: Recognize the Infant
The person that Mr. Du wanted to inquire about was Fu Zhaoning's grandfather, Old Master Fu!
"That's my brother, my cousin."
Mr. Du did not hide anything and told them everything.
"When my mother married into the Du family, they were originally a wealthy family in a border town adjacent to Zhaoguo and Dahe. But later a disaster struck there and everyone fled. The Du family chose to seek refuge with Dahe's relatives."
"At that time, the elders of the Du family also died while fleeing the disaster, leaving behind a few young people, including women and children, who were afraid that they would not be able to stay in Dahe. My uncle insisted on giving my father to the relatives in Dahe, so I became a Dahe person."
When Mr. Du looked at Fu Zhaoning, he always felt a little bit of intimacy.
"But then, I am considered of Zhaoguo descent? But the Du family here has been very kind to our family, so I don't care whether I am from Zhaoguo or Dahe. Back then, my mother was afraid that the people from the Du family would suspect that they were alienated, so she didn't dare to mention the relatives from Zhaoguo."
"No one from Zhaoguo came to visit us. They probably thought that we were all dead. It's been like this for so many years. But I'm getting older day by day. In the past two years, I can't help but think of my relatives in Zhaoguo. Even if I haven't met them, it would be nice to know how they are doing now."
Fu Zhaoning has never felt that the world is so small as it does now.
How could that be?
She came all the way from Zhaoguo to Dahe, and this Mr. Du was invited by Shen Xuan. So he is her relative?
She looked at Mr. Du carefully, but could not see any resemblance between him and her grandfather.
However, cousins may not look alike.
"Mr. Du, do you look like your cousin?" Fu Zhaoning asked. Although Mr. Du had never seen Mr. Fu, maybe his mother had seen him before?
"According to my mother's description, they don't look like that. People in my family are all short, but the Fu family is all tall. According to my mother, her brother-in-law's family has been handsome for generations, so there might be a handsome man."
So, Fu Duning could be sure that it was her home.
Zhongbo had told her before that her grandfather was very handsome when he was young, and was promoted to the capital because of his good looks.
Besides, her father was also a handsome man who was famous in the capital at that time.
If Fu Jinchen had not left the capital city after what happened back then, he would probably still be topping the list of handsome men in the capital city.
"Mr. Du, it's such a coincidence that I'm embarrassed to tell you, for fear that you would think I'm lying to you."
Fu Zhaoning looked at Shen Xuan and gestured to let Shen Xuan speak.
"Her grandfather's name is Fu Weicang. Look at her. The Fu family has both handsome men and beautiful women, right?" Shen Xuan praised Fu Zhaoning, but -
He added, "Of course, she is the best-born in the Fu family, because her mother is also very beautiful."
Therefore, it is impossible for Fu family alone to make Fu Zhaoning look so good, the Shen family also has its contribution.
Fu Zhaoning understood the underlying meaning of his words and found it a little funny.
Shen Xuan has a little bit of tsundere in his nature.
Mr. Du looked at Fu Zhaoning in shock.
Of course he had no doubt that her last name was Fu. After all, she had been introduced to him before he told her about this matter. And he wanted to inquire about his cousin only when he heard that she was from Zhaoguo and her last name was Fu. He had never mentioned it to anyone else before.
But isn’t this just too much of a coincidence?
"My cousin was not originally from the capital. I heard that he later became successful and moved to the capital of Zhaoguo."
"Yes, this also fits the point." Fu Zhaoning nodded, "My grandfather went to the capital alone when he was young. This branch doesn't have any brothers or sisters."
"Yes, yes, that's right."
Old Du clapped his hands and looked at Fu Zhaoning. "I didn't realize it until I told you. But now that I think about it, you look like my mother and my aunt. My mother is also tall, and she said her sisters are the same. They were famous for their slim figures."
Fu Zhaoning is taller than the average girl, probably because of her grandmother's genes. But Fu Zhaoning thinks it's a combination of both, as the Fu family members are also tall.
“I haven’t met my grandmother.”
"She's gone too?"
"yes."
"What about your grandfather?" Old Du asked with some trepidation. When you are old and want to find a relative, it is too late because the person is no longer in this world.
"Old Master Fu was very ill before, but Zhao Ning learned medical skills and cured him. Although his health is not good now, he is gradually getting better."
Shen Xuan answered for Fu Zhaoning and brought the conversation back to Fu Zhaoning's medical skills.
Sure enough, Mr. Du’s attention was now focused on Fu Zhaoning’s medical skills.
"Mr. Shen was not in good health before. At the beginning of last year, he said he wanted to eat the peach blossom cake I made. At that time, I saw that he seemed to be terminally ill. It seemed that this was the last time he ate it."
Mr. Du was not polite when he said this, and Fu Zhaoning could tell that Mr. Du must have some fame and status, so he didn't have to worry about anything in front of Shen Xuan.
"I didn't expect him to come to see me a few days ago. I saw that he had gotten much better. He said he went to Zhaoguo to find a good doctor. Could this good doctor be you?"
"It's her." Shen Xuan said, "I asked her to come all the way to Dahe this time because of my mother's illness."
"So amazing?" Elder Du looked at Fu Zhaoning, "You are already a miracle doctor at such a young age?"
"She has a purple medical license from Zhaoguo Ren Medical Hall." Shen Xuan said proudly.
Mr. Du opened his eyes wide, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.
"Kid, then I am your great-uncle! Hahaha."
Mr. Du was surprised and excited. He rubbed his hands together and searched his body. "I don't have anything prepared! I should give you a gift!"
I didn't expect him to accept her so easily.
Maybe it’s trust in Shen Xuan?
Fu Zhaoning glanced at Shen Xuan, and at his signal, he politely bowed. "Zhaoning greets my cousin."
"Hey, hey, good boy, really good boy."
Mr. Du was so excited that his face turned red. "I'm going back now. How many days will you stay here?"
"yes--"
"I'll come back tomorrow! You wait for me here." Old Du was in a hurry to leave. He walked a few steps excitedly, then turned back and said to Shen Xuan, "Mr. Shen, we have been friends for many years. You have to take good care of this child for me!"
"nature."
Shen Xuan said, she is my own niece, do you want me to explain?
After getting his assurance, Mr. Du immediately turned around and walked away, only to run into Yu Yuwei who was running over.
Both of them were anxious. Yu Yuwei turned around the plum tree and saw Fu Zhaoning standing next to Shen Xuan. She didn't have time to see Mr. Du's appearance clearly and didn't even think about avoiding him. Instead, she thought that he would give way to her and bumped into him straight away.
