Chapter 770: Showing Fatherly Love
The emperor smiled and said, "It's a rare opportunity for me to leave the palace, and I happened to meet you on your day off. What a coincidence."
Zhou Shuren, "......Yes."
But in his heart he was regretting madly, wondering why he didn't stay in the teahouse a little longer. What a coincidence! He didn't want this coincidence at all. Others might be extremely happy to be summoned by the Emperor, but he really didn't need it at the moment!
The prince had a better impression of Zhou Shuren because of the good idea of going abroad to buy food. "Master Zhou, you'd better rest more."
Zhou Shuren, "...Thank you for your concern, Prince."
What on earth are these two gentlemen doing here?
The emperor felt that the carriage was not the place to talk, so he stopped talking. To be honest, it was really a coincidence that he met Zhou Shuren. It seemed that they really had a destiny as a monarch and a subject.
The prince also closed his eyes, but he was thinking a lot. He was really concerned about Lord Zhou. He had been under house arrest for many days, so when he saw Lord Zhou again, he felt that the old man had lost weight again. Although he looked energetic, he was still thin. It seemed that he should give him more nourishing herbs in the future.
Zhou Shuren felt numb. The two men were silent. Where was the carriage going? He had left early on purpose just to go home and be with his son. When he left this morning, the little guy got angry!
Outside Zhoujia Village, Changzhi sat by the car window, looking at his hometown, "Brother, I vaguely remember that this road was not so smooth before."
Chang Li sighed, "You haven't been back for a long time, so you naturally don't know the changes in your hometown. Zhoujia Village is no longer the small village it used to be. In the past two years, not only have many families moved here, but many people have also come to Zhoujia Village, and the roads have been renovated."
Changzhi stretched his head and looked ahead. He could already see Zhoujia Village. "I haven't been back for many years. If it weren't for the big tree at the entrance of the village, my brother wouldn't have dared to recognize Zhoujia Village."
The changes were truly extraordinary. The bridge over the creek was also renovated, and many things in his memory had changed significantly.
Chang Li said excitedly: "It's all because of Dad that Zhoujia Village has developed so well."
In the whole Pingzhou, who doesn’t know that there is a Mr. Zhou from Zhoujia Village!
The convoy quickly entered the village and when they arrived at Xuemei's house, Xuemei, who knew the letter, was already waiting at the door.
Changzhi got off the carriage first, "Big sister."
Xuemei's eyes widened, "Changzhi, you came back too."
Changzhi smiled and said, "Yes, this time I came back with my elder brother to worship our ancestors."
Xuemei was still quite excited to see Changzhi, "It's good that you're back. You haven't been back for a long time. You should take a good look around. Zhoujia Village has changed a lot."
"good."
Changli got off the carriage and rubbed his stomach. He had gained weight again after returning home. He had been sitting in the carriage for a long time and his stomach was not feeling well. "Big sister."
"Brother, you have worked hard on the journey, come in quickly."
Chang Zhi really didn't feel tired. They didn't rush along the way. They rested well and felt energetic. He looked around his eldest sister's house. Well, it was not bad.
After returning to the house, Chang Zhi saw the little guy being held in his arms, "Sister, this must be my youngest nephew Jiang Lei!"
Xuemei smiled and said, "Yes, time flies by so fast. Jiang Lei can talk in a blink of an eye. How is your dragon and phoenix twin?"
Chang Chi mentioned his daughter and son and had a lot to say, "Very good, the two little guys are different every day, the tempers of these two little guys are all like the county lord, they are not big villains but they have big tempers."
Xuemei smiled and said, "It's a pity that your sister wasn't here when you got married."
Changzhi also felt regretful. He reached out and hugged his little nephew, and changed the subject, "Where is my brother-in-law? Where are my other nephews, yes, and nieces?"
Xuemei said, "Your brother-in-law is in the clan school. Jiang Ping and Jiang An are also old enough to go to the clan school. They started the clan school enlightenment last month. Jiang Miao went to the Jiang family to find Jiang Mulan."
Changli rested for a while, "Big sister, Changzhi and I will go to the clan leader's house first."
"good."
In the capital, at a restaurant, Zhulan was having dinner with her son and daughter in the dining room on the first floor. She also wanted to go to the private room on the second floor, but unfortunately there were no vacant rooms.
Outside the door, Zhou Shuren got off the carriage and looked up at the word "canteen". The emperor and the prince actually brought him to have a meal in a canteen. These two would not let themselves down. They would be able to eat delicious food soon, which comforted them a lot.
After entering the hall, Zhou Shuren confirmed that he was not mistaken. Before he could say anything, Changzhong, who was waiting for the food, looked around and saw his father at a glance. He quickly got off the chair and said, "Dad, Dad."
Zhou Shuren quickly reached out to catch his son who was running over. The boy was very strong and powerful, and he was a little shaken by the impact. "Son, Dad thinks you should lose weight."
Changzhong's eyes widened in disbelief, "A few days ago, Dad said it was better to be fatter!"
The emperor laughed out loud, "This is Shuren's little son, and I was the one who gave him the name."
Zhou Shuren smiled, "Yes, he is, he is my little son."
I almost said it just now. I'm not used to this outside.
Changzhong is not a shy child. He is a bully in the family and has a lot of courage. "Is grandpa a friend of daddy?"
Zhou Shuren, "......."
My son's words are a generation lower than what he said!
The emperor smiled. He was indeed older than Zhou Shuren, but he never thought he was a generation older than Zhou Shuren. He remembered that his youngest son was going to marry Zhou Shuren's daughter. "You can't call me grandpa. I know your father well. You should call me uncle."
Well, uncle sounds young.
Changzhong was still very well behaved, "Hello, uncle."
The emperor felt around his body and found that he had nothing to give except the jade pendant on his waist. He glanced at his son's waist, took it off, and handed it to the boy, "This is from your uncle."
Zhou Shuren had a wooden face, and felt sympathy for the prince for two seconds.
The prince was heartbroken. His father was reluctant to part with his jade pendant, and he was reluctant to part with his either. His jade pendant was also rare, and it was one of his favorite jade pendants!
Zhulan had been watching the people who were talking. Although she had never seen the emperor, she could guess the identities of the people in front of her from Zhou Shuren's reaction. She couldn't go forward any more, and her heart was always tense.
Fortunately, Zhou Shuren brought his son over soon after. Zhulan asked quietly, "What happened?"
Aren't you going to have tea?
Zhou Shuren, "It just happened. I still have to go up. You guys can go home after dinner and don't have to wait for me."
"good."
After saying that, Zhou Shuren went upstairs and waited until he reached the private room. Zhou Shuren found that someone was already waiting in the room, including Lord Ning.
Zhou Shuren waited for the door to close before he apologized, "My son is young and a little bold, and I didn't mean to offend the emperor."
The emperor raised his hand, "I left the palace today without the emperor, so there is no conflict. Besides, the little boy is very young, and I like him very much. My dear, there is no need to think too much, just sit down."
Zhou Shuren heaved a sigh of relief. If he hadn't seen the pain in the prince's face, he wouldn't have apologized. "Yes."
Ning Xu was still quite surprised, "Mr. Zhou's son is also in the restaurant?"
Zhou Shuren said, "Yes, I have a day off today, but I have to go out because of an appointment. My son has been attached to me since he was little. In the past, I would accompany him on my day off. I was looking forward to my day off, but I didn't accompany him. My wife took him out shopping, and it was a coincidence that we met in the restaurant."
Ning Xu felt like she was being shown a lot of fatherly love, and suddenly she didn't want to pay any attention to Zhou Shuren!
I feel a little uncomfortable today. After one chapter, it seems like I owe three chapters. . . .
