Chapter 77 Dessert
I have to say that the small cake that Han Zhong brought back perfectly suits Jiang Wu's taste. Although people lived in luxury during the Great Zhou Dynasty, due to the limitations of the times, tastes were much simpler, and the only sugar was simple sucrose. Things like mousse cakes were unheard of.
Jiang Wu was not particular about material things such as food, drink, shelter and other daily necessities. His most common snack was mint candy to keep him awake. He had never imagined that in this era there existed such sweet but not greasy dessert with a smooth taste.
After dinner, he sat on the sofa holding a small cake, eating while watching TV, and soon finished most of it.
Han Zhong sat next to him and asked, "Do you like to eat?"
"Yeah." Jiang Wu nodded with the fork in his mouth and turned to look at him, "Don't you want to eat?"
Han Zhong shook his head, "You eat it."
"good."
Jiang Wu was not polite at all. Except for leaving a small piece for Aunt Bai, he ate the rest. Aunt Bai was stunned and asked Han Zhong to take Jiang Wu out for a walk to digest the food.
The spaces between each building in Ziyuan are very spacious, and privacy is well guaranteed. The two of them went out and walked around twice, but didn't meet anyone. Jiang Wu thought that Ziyuan really had only twenty households as Ji Ruoxuan said, and the residents usually came in and out by car. He really had never met any neighbors or anything. This was completely opposite to his previous apartment building.
The two walked around in silence for two rounds, and Han Zhong suddenly asked, "Are you going out to record a show the day after tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Jiang Wu was a little surprised that he would pay attention to this matter. "How did you know?"
"You've been on the trending searches lately, it's hard not to see you."
Jiang Wu recalled that his recent hot searches were all about metaphysical personas. He remembered that Han Zhong disliked these kinds of mysterious things the most, so he said, "Netizens don't know that what happened to Ke Xingyan was done by you, and it has nothing to do with me."
Han Zhong did not continue the topic, but asked another question, "Where are we going this time? Or to a deserted island?"
"I don't know. They always notify us the night before departure."
“…”
Han Zhong swallowed back the words "I happen to be passing by there on a business trip and could go visit them", and in his heart he felt a little dissatisfied with the director of the show "Tanlv".
Jiang Wu naturally had no idea what he was thinking and just thought he was just casually finding a topic to talk about. In fact, he used to chat with Yan Zhong often. Yan Zhong would always ask him about various small things in life, and occasionally he would tell him about important events in the court. In short, there was always something to talk about. Later, Yan Zhong died a hundred years ago, and no one asked him about such small things as what he ate, played, or where he went today, and he got used to not talking about these small things.
Even if he met Han Zhong again, it seemed that there was nothing for them to talk about, whether it was his own past or Han Zhong's past. Apart from those memories that were forgotten thousands of years ago, his past and Han Zhong's past had no intersection and nothing to share.
Han Zhong was thinking about how to casually bring up the idea of visiting the set when he suddenly heard a voice next to him, "What did you do today?"
Han Zhong was slightly stunned, not knowing why he suddenly asked this, so he said, "Work, looking at documents, signing things, etc."
Jiang Wu thought for a moment and said, "I played a game with someone else."
Han Zhong looked at him seriously and suddenly realized that he was sharing his daily life with him and trying to understand his daily life. He felt a little warm in his heart and continued to ask, "Who did you play the game with?"
"Ji Ruoxuan and Bi Yan, we met each other when we were recording a variety show." Jiang Wu really wanted to tell them how interesting these two people were, but then he remembered that Han Zhong didn't know them, so he said casually, "But you don't know them."
"Then let's get to know them." Han Zhong said calmly, "Tell me when you know the recording location. I'll go visit the set and they'll introduce me to them."
Jiang Wu's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Really?"
Han Zhong raised his lips slightly, "Really."
"Will you bring a cupcake?"
“…”
Han Zhong's smile faltered slightly, "How about letting Yao Ping deliver the cake and I won't go?"
Jiang Wu nodded, "Okay."
Han Zhong: “…”
Han Zhong turned around and walked away, but after taking two steps he felt uncomfortable. He turned back and pinched Jiang Wu's face before turning around and walking back.
Jiang Wu, whose face was pinched for no reason, followed him blankly, "What's wrong with you? Are you angry? Don't you like cupcakes?"
Yao Ping said that the Moulin Rouge dessert shop was very popular and many of its desserts were limited in quantity. After Han returned, he called the shop and booked desserts in advance.
As soon as he put down his phone, Rong Anzhou called him via video.
On the phone screen, Rong Anzhou was driving. He was always so outspoken, but now he looked tired. Han Zhong asked, "I'm just going back to the old house. Why are you acting like this?"
"Unfortunately, something else happened." Rong Anzhou turned the steering wheel nonchalantly, "You knew that Qin Jiawang was ill, right?"
"Um."
Qin Jiawang is Qin Yuyan's father. It is said that he fell ill last year. Originally, the outside world thought that it would not be the Qin family's turn to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce this time. Unexpectedly, Qin Yuyan appeared. This woman took the initiative to find the Han family to propose cooperation. She used the chip technology researched by Qin Yuyan's grandfather in exchange for the support of the Han family and successfully took the position of the Linhai Chamber of Commerce.
"His illness is not simple." Rong Anzhou licked his lips and said, "He has experienced amnesia after aggressive behavior."
Han Zhong's pupils trembled slightly, and a fire suddenly appeared in his mind. His ears were filled with screams one after another, and his nose was filled with the smell of burnt flesh and blood. His stomach couldn't help but churn.
"…Have you found the problem?"
"No, that's why I'm worried. The old man is old, but he went through a lot when he was young. I've been looking into his affairs for the past two days, and guess what happened."
Rong Anzhou's eyes reflected the fleeting figures outside the car window, dim and unclear, "I found out that he had a serious illness when he was in his forties. The attending doctor was Liang Leshan. Ten years later, he became Chang Yi's attending doctor."
Han Zhong's face froze. He had checked Chang Yi's attending physician before, and found that he had not heard from him since he retired due to a medical accident a few years ago. He did not expect that it was related to Qin Jiawang.
"What disease did Qin Jiawang have back then?"
"hemophilia."
This is a typical disease caused by a genetic defect that can only be cured clinically but not completely. However, the Qin family claimed at the time that Qin Jiawang was just in a sub-healthy state and no problems occurred afterwards.
"Qin Yuyan wants to find the third uncle of the Zhou family to treat Qin Jiawang, but——"
However, because the third uncle had predicted Han Zhong's fate in his early years, there was a big internal struggle in the Han family, and Han Zhong's parents almost divorced because of it.
When Han Zhong was sixteen years old, he cursed the other party as a charlatan in public and drove him out of the Han family. The third uncle was also a man with a bad temper. He directly spread the word that in the future, if anyone in Linhai wanted him to do something, they had to let Han Zhong go to the door in person to ask, otherwise there would be no discussion.
The two of them had a complete feud, and one of them left Linhai City and did not return for ten years. Han Zhong suffered a great disaster when he was eighteen years old, and he also left Linhai to join the army. This was something that the young generation had heard about, but only the people of the Han family and the Zhou family knew the details.
Rong Anzhou's meaning is self-evident. If Han Zhong wants to continue investigating Chang Yi, he will have to step forward himself this time.
Han Zhong was silent for a moment, "When?"
Rong Anzhou breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that he would not agree. "The day after tomorrow."
Han Zhong was stunned, and he agreed to let Jiang Wu visit the set the day after tomorrow.
"Can't we do it some other time?"
