Chapter 472 Zhao Houjing’s Insight in Certain Aspects
Huai Qing, who witnessed all this, looked at the second young master's back in confusion, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Seeing Huai Qing hadn't moved for a long time, Zhao Houjing followed his gaze and saw nothing special. He then asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Master, please forgive me. I just felt that the Second Young Master was different from usual, and you..."
Huaiqing was Zhao Houjing's confidant, and Zhao Houjing was happy to help him out. "I'm so afraid of him, right?"
Huai Qing nodded vigorously.
"My second brother is really cruel! Mother and Fan Houyang were both deceived by his appearance. He is also a traitor! Anyway, I can't afford to offend your young master.
Did you hear that? He said if I made Mother angry again, he would personally send me off. He meant to send me off to the grave.”
Huai Qing covered his mouth in disbelief and looked up at Zhao Houjing, "That's not the case, is it?"
Huai Qing suddenly felt a little cold all over. The second young master usually smiled and was carefree, and you couldn't tell that he was such a powerful person.
Zhao Houjing looked at Huai Qing's expression and knew that he didn't believe it, so he didn't say anything else. This was the method of his good second brother. Who would believe him if he said this?
If it weren't for his own troubles over the past few years, Zhao Houjing himself wouldn't have believed it if his second brother had revealed some things to suppress him.
Zhao Houjing thought about it and decided that this was not going to work! He softly instructed Huai Qing, "Go and find out what my mother's reward was for my second brother passing the imperial examination."
Huai Qing quickly reported back, "Master, I've inquired about it, and His Highness has given me a reward."
Zhao Houjing originally wanted to make things difficult for his mother, so that she would feel guilty and give him some compensation. With such a large family business, how could he not be tempted?
But not only did his mother not feel guilty, she even wanted him to go find that good father. This was really terrible. It seemed that the family fighting methods in other people's houses didn't work in their house!
Zhao Houjing was speechless when he even exposed his second brother, the big boss. All the smart people gathered in their house, leaving him no chance to survive.
Zhao Houjing could only accept his fate, "What a rich life! It seems that my only option is to study."
"Then I'll go get the book for the young master?" Huai Qing replied without any tact.
Zhao Houjing: This guy has no vision.
"Okay, I'm full. You can take these away! I need to take a nap." Zhao Houjing said, and then he lay down to sleep. He was injured all over and didn't feel like reading.
During this period, Zhao Houjing had been recuperating from his injuries and had not left the hospital, which happened to have caused him to miss Zhao Houming's most glorious period.
Who in the Yuan capital city doesn't envy Princess Funing? Not only are her three sons handsome, but they're also quite ambitious, with two being scholars and one being a juren. Although Zhao Houjing didn't pass the juren exam this time, he's still young!
When Zhao Houjing recovered from his injuries, everything returned to normal. His second brother, Zhao Houming, was busy studying for the next year's imperial examination.
Zhao Lingmeng decided that since her second son was going to take the imperial examination next spring, she shouldn't live at the manor. She should stay at home with her son. Otherwise, if she went to the manor, Zhao Houming would be riding over to see her in a few days, which would be very troublesome.
Zhao Houjing's first act after recovering from his injury was to pay his respects to Zhao Lingmeng. So he got up early that day and waited at the intersection where both Zhao Houming and Fan Houyang would pass.
Zhao Houjing mainly didn't want to go alone because he was worried that his mother would get angry when she saw him and beat him up again. He didn't want to lie in bed for another half a month.
With my younger brothers, there was also someone I could talk to.
Fortunately, Zhao Houjing didn't have to wait long before Zhao Houming and Fan Houyang arrived together. As for why the two of them came together, it was mainly because Fan Houyang, who was a clingy person, insisted on choosing a yard next to Zhao Houming's.
So they often went to pay their respects together.
When Zhao Houjing saw the person, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Second brother, third brother, good morning!" Zhao Houjing looked as gentle as jade at this time.
Fan Houyang rubbed his arms and immediately walked to the other side of his second brother. He didn't want to know what was wrong with his eldest brother!
Zhao Houjing gave Zhao Houming a look that meant, "See, I showed my kindness, but he didn't appreciate it."
Zhao Houming stroked his forehead and said helplessly, "Brother, let's go!"
So when Zhao Lingmeng saw her three sons come in together, she was still stunned for a moment. It wasn't often that these three came to pay their respects together! The key point was that the eldest son, Zhao Houjing, looked like a sunny boy at the moment, which was very different from his usual serious expression. I wonder what this was all about.
Zhao Houjing and the other two went in and bowed politely, then stood up and sat down nearby.
Seeing his mother looking outside, Fan Houyang asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Zhao Houjing and Zhao Houming also looked at Zhao Lingmeng with curiosity.
Zhao Lingmeng replied without hesitation, "I was looking at where the sun rose today. Why are you guys here together?"
The three Zhao Houjing brothers all laughed when they heard this. They were already used to their mother's occasional strange ideas. Although they didn't understand what she meant, from the tone of voice, it was easy to tell that she was teasing.
Fan Houyang looked at his eldest brother who was acting pretentiously and pouted. "Originally, I came here with my second brother, but my eldest brother blocked us on the road. He must still be angry about my mother beating him, so..."
Zhao Houjing had been laughing, but then a huge pot fell from the sky. He didn't want to be beaten again, so he immediately stood up and saluted, "Mom, don't listen to my third brother's nonsense. I am your son, and as a mother, it is only natural for me to teach my son a lesson! I have no complaints."
Zhao Houming looked at his third brother beside him with amusement, and took a bite of the snack beside him. If anyone knew him well, they would know that Zhao Houming was very happy at this moment.
Zhao Lingmeng listened to his eldest son's rebuttal, but in his heart he was thinking, "It seems that beating him up is a bit of an improvement. No wonder there was a saying in his past life that a good son is born under the stick. It seems that I need to explain to his wife in the future that if she doesn't obey, she will not be polite."
At this time, Zhao Houjing didn't know what terrible things Zhao Lingmeng had imagined. He just wanted to beat up this guy Fan Houyang. It was so infuriating.
Zhao Lingmeng had no intention of beating this guy up at this moment. After all, if he endured for another two or three years, he would be under the care of his wife.
"Okay, sit still! But remember what you said."
When Zhao Houjing heard that his mother didn't want to pursue the matter, he was visibly happy, "Hehe, don't worry, mother."
After Zhao Houjing sat down, he didn't forget to glare at his third brother Fan Houyang, thinking that this brother was really his nemesis. However, he smiled ingratiatingly at his second brother Zhao Houming.
