Mrs. Rebirth

The next day, when Liu Ma saw Zuo Shaoqing, she didn't have any expression on her face, but she didn't say a word to him for the whole day, but the poured-in manager Chi immediately flattered Zuo Shaoqing when she saw Zuo Shaoqing. Woke up, as if he had forgotten what was brought down last night.

"Ah Choe... Zuo Sanye looks like a dragon and a phoenix among men at first glance, the heaven is full, the treasure is solemn, and the future is limitless, Ah Choe..."

Zuo Shaoqing smiled leisurely, "It turns out that Manager Chi can still read faces?"

"Ha, ha... um, I know a little bit, Ah Choo..."

"Is Manager Chi sick?" Zuo Shaoqing had a caring expression on his face, "But you didn't sleep well last night and got cold?"

Chi Jinguan couldn't help but slander: Damn, can I lie on the ground all night without catching a cold?

"Then you should see a doctor sooner. Although this cold is not a serious illness, it may develop into tuberculosis after a long time. It should not be taken lightly."

The corner of Chi Jinguan's mouth twitched, why did this sound so unlucky?

"Yes, you are right." Chi Jinguan replied with a stiff smile.

"Then I'm fine, I won't bother Steward Chi's rest... Oh, yes, I forgot to ask where the young men whom Steward Chi hired went?"

Chi Jinguan became wary, "Why do you ask this?"

Zuo Shaoqing smiled innocently, "It's nothing, I just thought that if they were still there, Steward Chi could ask them to warm up their beds tonight, so they wouldn't catch a cold if there were too many people."

Chi Jinguan's charcoal-like face was irritated into a liver-colored face, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I'm not good at this! Those people were sent away overnight last night."

"I didn't keep one?" Zuo Shaoqing shook his head regretfully, "After all, it cost money to hire it, which is too wasteful. It's not easy for the brothers of the Cao Gang to make money."

Chi Jinguan straightened his chest and said seriously: "Of course I paid for it myself, how can this kind of thing go to the public account?"

"So that's the case, Guanshi Chi is really righteous!" Zuo Shaoqing cupped his hands at him, and then walked away with light steps.

When he walked away, Chi Jinguan breathed a sigh of relief, and cursed secretly: Damn, it's a big loss this time!

After resting in Cangzhou for two days, Zuo Shaoqing got into the carefully prepared carriage, but his mood fell to the bottom.

He originally thought that he would be able to accompany Lu Zheng to the capital on this journey, but he did not expect that just last night, Lu Zheng received a secret letter and suddenly changed his itinerary.

He opened the curtain, looked at Lu Zheng who was sitting high on horseback, opened his mouth, and finally uttered only one sentence: "Master Lu, take care!"

Lu Zheng gently lifted the horse's belly, drove the mount closer to the carriage, bent down and told in a low voice: "When you arrive in Beijing, you are not allowed to run around, and read books for a few days in peace."

"Ah."

"This year's chief examiner is too pedantic, and he is the least fond of flattery. Don't go to him if you have nothing to do."

Zuo Shaoqing's heart moved, and he agreed with a smile: "Thank you for the reminder."

Lu Zheng straightened his waist, took out something from his waist and threw it into the carriage, and said in a businesslike tone: "If there is any difficulty, take this to the Zhen Guogong's mansion."

Zuo Shaoqing picked up the jade pendant on the robe, held the palm of his hand as if it were a treasure, and joked: "Is this a token of love from Master Lu?"

Lu Zheng pulled his face to the elder, and there was no trace of tenderness between his brows: "Be sure to return it next time we meet!"

"Stingy!" Zuo Shaoqing only felt that the jade pendant in his palm was shiny and lustrous, with a warm body temperature on it. It looked like it had been worn for many years, and it was probably Lu Zheng's personal thing.

When he was assessing the value of this jade pendant, he heard Lu Zheng's awkward voice: "If you like it, it's okay to give it to you."

The corner of Zuo Shaoqing's mouth twitched, "Seeing how reluctant you are, let's forget it." Then she put the jade pendant tightly away like a baby.

Just when Zuo Shaoqing was about to put down the curtain, he heard Lu Zheng say again: "Stay away from your Brother Qu!"

Zuo Shaoqing paused, then smiled sullenly, "Obey! Lord!"

The two teams parted ways, all the way to the north and all the way to the east, Zuo Shaoqing leaned in the carriage and stroked the purse in his palm, which contained the beads and jade pendant that Lu Zheng had given him, and a handkerchief. My heart is unspeakably sad.

After bumping in the carriage for five days, Zuo Shaoqing finally saw the impregnable city gate of Kyoto.

Leaning on his stiff waist and jumping off the carriage, Zuo Shaoqing looked at the majestic city wall and sighed in his heart: Finally, he came to this place.

"Shao Qing, Second Uncle will send someone to look for your elder brother's whereabouts first, so let's find a random inn to stay in first?" Zuo Yunyang didn't see the people from Zuo Mansion at the gate of the city, so he felt sorry for Zuo Shaoyan in his heart. Got some bad opinions.

His younger brother fell ill on the way, so he could go on his own so as not to delay the scientific examination, but at least he should send someone to guard the gate of the city. Could it be that he wasn't worried about Zuo Shaoqing's accident halfway?

"Second uncle has the final say, let's stay here first and then look for it slowly." He knew where Zuo Shaoyan lived, and according to his thinking, it was best not to meet his good brother before the exam.

A group of people entered the city through the city guard's inspection, and then led by Zuo Yunyang to find an inconspicuous small inn.

Zuo Yunyang stood in front of the "Breeze Inn", and sighed with great emotion: "I didn't expect this inn to still be here after 20 years."

"Second uncle lived here before?"

Zuo Yunyang stared at the faded plaque and said: "Back then when Zuo's mansion was raided, everyone was kicked out of Zuo's mansion before they had time to pack their things. In such a huge capital, only this inn was willing to take in the Zuo family for one night."

Zuo Shaoqing heard the loneliness in his tone, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Second Uncle, don't worry, aren't we back?"

"That's right...it's a pity that the Zuo Mansion can't go back, and I don't know who it has been given to."

"If Second Uncle is free, he can buy a yard in the city tomorrow, and it will be our new home."

Zuo Yunyang laughed, "The land price in this capital is far from comparable to other places. In some areas, no matter how rich you are, you can't buy a house. My second uncle is still waiting to live in the house of the champion."

Zuo Shaoqing also laughed, "Where can the whole family stay together? You can just live wherever you want."

Zuo Yunyang laughed for a while and suddenly said seriously: "Shao Qing, I forgot to tell you something. My eldest brother and sister-in-law are also on their way to Beijing."

Zuo Shaoqing was just slightly taken aback, but he didn't show too much surprise. He thought that Zuo Shaoling's illness could stop the Zuo family from moving to the capital, but he was still the same as in his previous life.

Seeing that he wasn't unhappy, Zuo Yunyang continued, "My sister-in-law found out that there is a famous doctor in Kyoto, and it's better to gather famous doctors in this place than to go to other places, so the whole family came here."

The corners of Zuo Shaoqing's mouth curled slightly, "I understand, the second brother's illness is important." What should come will always come, but, in this life, no one should think of using him as a stepping stone!

Zuo Yunyang sighed. He could understand Zuo Shaoqing's feelings. He was also a bastard. Although the old lady treated him well, she couldn't get close. Fortunately, they separated after a few years after returning to Youxi Town. There is no need to look at Da Fang's face.

Touching Zuo Shaoqing's shoulder and leading him to the inn, Zuo Yunyang explained: "Okay, come on, anyway, you are the future No. [-] scholar, who would dare to look down on you?"

"Second Uncle, don't talk nonsense, when did someone give my nephew a bad look?" Zuo Shaoqing winked slyly at the No. [-] Scholar.

"Haha... yes!"

As soon as he entered the door, the middle-aged shopkeeper immediately greeted him, "Do you want to stay in the shop?"

"Why don't you come to your poor place without staying in the shop?" Zuo Yunyang joked with a smile.

"Hey, although our Qingfeng Inn is usually a bit deserted, but this spring is coming, all the grandpas in the capital are looking for a place to live, so we don't have to worry about no guests here."

"Is the purple garden in the backyard rented out?"

"Huh? The guest officer has been to the shop?"

Zuo Yunyang showed nostalgia, "Yeah, it's been 20 years, but I still remember you clearly, Er Gouzi!"

Back then, the shopkeeper was still a young kid who had just taken over his father's property, and somehow he had the brains to agree with the Zuo family to stay. It was the night when the Zuo family fell from heaven to the mortal world.

"You...you are...?" The middle-aged shopkeeper looked at Zuo Yunyang for a while, but couldn't figure out who he was.

20 years have passed, how easy is it to remember people who only meet each other a few times?What's more, Zuo Yunyang put on a lot of fat, and he has long lost his former style.

Zuo Yunyang didn't say much, and urged: "Don't guess, quickly clean up Ziyuan, let my nephew have a good rest, and when my nephew is in high school, your broken inn will become famous!"

The middle-aged shopkeeper looked at Zuo Shaoqing curiously, and felt that this Juren was too young, too beautiful, and had no potential to be the champion at all.

But when it came to business, he couldn't push it away, so he smiled and led him to the backyard.
