Chapter 16 Gongshuxue's Visit



"Where does my sister live? We have nothing to do here, so I'll take her home. I can go visit her next time." Gongshu Xue was still very interested in Zhao Qingrui.

Zhao Qingrui did not refuse and brought Gongshu Xue and Gongshu Yu to his home.

"Is this your home?" A strange look flashed in Gongshu Xue's eyes. She just happened to know this yard.

Gongshu Xue couldn't help but look at Zhao Qingrui a few more times. Is this girl a relative of the Meng family?

Just when Gongshu Xue was about to say something, the housekeeper came out.

As soon as he saw Gongshu Xue, he recognized them and quickly gave them a wink.

"Miss, is this your friend?" the butler asked with a bow.

"Yes, these are all my friends who are visiting my home. I will ask the cook to prepare some more dishes later." Zhao Qingrui nodded with a smile.

Several people walked towards the courtyard, and Gongshu Yu lagged behind by a few steps. He had just seen the butler winking at them.

"Young master, please stay." The butler whispered at the corner.

"What's the matter?" Gongshu Yu stopped. This was Meng Yi's territory. Meng Yi was the Shangqing and a favorite of the First Emperor. Meng Tian was even the Shangjiang General. They didn't dare to provoke anyone from the Meng family easily.

"I just want to remind you two that the young lady doesn't know that this is the Meng family's villa. I hope that the young master and Miss Gongshu won't let it slip." The butler said with a smile.

Gongshu Yu was surprised, "Why?"

"You just need to remember this, and don't talk nonsense. Be careful of what you say." After saying this, the housekeeper quickly caught up with Zhao Qingrui and the others.

The housekeeper went to tell the cook to prepare lunch. "Please sit down for a while. We have guests coming to our house. I fried some tea leaves earlier and it's perfect for entertaining Sister Gongshu."

Zhao Qingrui went to make tea, and Gongshu Yufushen whispered to Gongshu Xue what the housekeeper had reminded him of just now.

Gongshu Xue's eyes flickered. There must be something going on here. She was now even more interested in the identity of this girl.

When Zhao Qingrui came over with the tea, Gongshu Xue was observing the layout of the room.

"Isn't there a banquet at my sister's house?" Gongshu Xue felt a little uncomfortable without kneeling.

However, this thing called a bench is indeed more convenient and comfortable to sit on than kneeling.

The bench has a simple structure, so she decided to make one for herself when she got home.

"It's uncomfortable for my legs to kneel down while sitting at the banquet. I put a cushion on the bench. If it's still not soft enough, I'll ask Chunxi to bring two more cushions." Zhao Qingrui said enthusiastically. She didn't have many friends since she came to this world.

Sheng Guanping can barely be considered one, it would be better if he didn't bother her so much.

Gongshu Xue felt pretty good and they could get along well.

"Sister, the layout here is really nice. I will clean up my place later." Gongshu Xue felt that the layout here was very comfortable and it made him feel at ease just looking at it. If he could do research in such an environment, his efficiency would definitely be greatly improved.

"By the way, are you alone in your family? I heard you say before that your father is a businessman. Since we come here to visit without permission, we should go and pay our respects to your uncle." Gongshu Yu's words made Gongshu Xue curious about Zhao Qingrui's identity.

Moreover, she proposed to pay respects to the elders, which was just normal etiquette.

"There's a problem with my family's business. My father has been very busy recently. He goes out early and comes back late every day. He's not at home now." Zhao Qingrui shook his head.

"Oh, what does your family do?"

"My father said that he was making food and clothes, which was quite busy." Zhao Qingrui sighed. His father's body had not fully recovered yet, but he ran outside. If you didn't know, you would think there was a little goblin outside trying to seduce him.

Dad is nowhere to be seen early in the morning and only comes back in the evening.

This made Zhao Qingrui feel like her father was avoiding her. After visiting Gongshu's house tomorrow, she would ask the housekeeper where the family property was. She had to go and see it in person.

Although her father's complexion has improved a little in the past two days, she is still very worried about his health.

"These are all quite profitable." Gongshu Xue raised his eyebrows slightly, especially grain. The weather has not been very good in recent years, so the harvest is naturally not high, and the price of grain is even higher.

Those who can open a grain store are all capable.

Ying Zheng had almost finished his government affairs early today and was preparing to visit his daughter at noon.

He felt much more relaxed these two days, which made him think a lot. His daughter was blessed with good fortune, so he had to keep her by his side.

He knows better than anyone how uncomfortable it is to be in poor health, and he wants to live a long and healthy life.

"Your Majesty, Madam Hu has asked someone to prepare some nourishing food. Please come and have a meal." Zhao Gao bowed and stood in front of Ying Zheng.

"No, let her eat by herself. I have something to go out for." Ying Zheng said calmly.

The food in the palace was not as delicious as the one at his daughter's place, and he was also very interested in his daughter's mysterious master.

When Meng Yi has made all the arrangements, he will bring his daughter to the palace. Let's keep it a secret for now and give his daughter a surprise.

Seeing His Majesty leaving without even looking back, and even not taking him with him, but taking Meng Yi with him, Zhao Gao gritted his teeth secretly.

His Majesty didn't come to eat again, and Hu Ji was almost furious.

His Majesty seemed to be better these days, and she wanted to visit him more often to win his favor.

It’s a pity that His Majesty didn’t give her this opportunity.

Moreover, His Majesty has been running outside every day during this period, which makes her wonder if His Majesty has some little goblin outside.

"Zhao Gao, His Majesty has been going out every day recently. What's going on?" Hu Ji was usually favored and had a high status in the harem.

"I don't know either. Your Majesty didn't take me with you." Zhao Gao felt aggrieved. He was the person Your Majesty trusted the most, but now Your Majesty only took Meng Yi with him.

"Please help me check if His Majesty has someone else outside." Hu Ji was very unhappy.

Zhao Gao paused, then said seriously, "Madam, you are joking. How dare I, a humble servant, interfere in your Majesty's affairs?"

He was the teacher of Prince Hu Hai, but the person he was loyal to was still the First Emperor.

At this time, the Qin Shi Huang's poor health was gradually getting better. As long as the Qin Shi Huang was alive, he would not dare to cross the line in front of the Qin Shi Huang.

"Hmph, forget it. How has my son Hu Hai been doing recently?" Hu Ji's face froze. The First Emperor was very powerful, so of course she didn't dare to investigate him openly. She just wanted to know a little about the emperor from Zhao Gao.

I didn't expect Zhao Gao to be so useless.

"Prince Hu Hai..." Zhao Gao honestly described the situation of Prince Hu Hai.

When Ying Zheng came over, he learned from the housekeeper that there was a guest in the house, and it was from the Gongshu family.
