Chapter 226 Pointing at the nose and teaching a lesson

Zhao Ya was looking at the house at this time.

This is a five-entry mansion with a spacious and bright courtyard, especially the back garden, which is very quiet and spacious.

Zhao Ya was very satisfied with this back garden and felt that it was very suitable for him to practice martial arts.

But what ultimately made Zhao Ya decide was the geographical location and Zui'er's attitude.

I saw her looking at the kitchen that occupied three rooms with fascination, and her emotions were beyond words.

So Zhao Ya paid for the house very simply.

These landlords were extremely efficient in their work. After the money arrived, the property deeds were quickly changed.

After the big seal was put on it, Fang Yazi congratulated him with a smile on his face, and then he took the people away happily.

This transaction went very smoothly, and Fang Ya made a lot of profits from it, so he was naturally very happy.

After everything was settled, Zhao Ya said to Zui'er, "Okay, let's go back now and move here in the evening."

"Ah? So fast!"

"What? You don't want to move in."

"Of course I do."

Not to mention anything else, the fully equipped kitchen alone impressed Zui'er deeply.

This is the dream chef that I have always dreamed of.

So Zui'er stopped insisting and followed Zhao Ya back to the merchant.

As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I happened to meet Shang Jingchuan coming down from the sedan chair.

"Uncle Shang!" Zui'er shouted.

But Shang Jingchuan turned a deaf ear to this and walked inside in despair.

Zhao Ya's heart moved slightly when he saw this.

It stands to reason that today is the day when Shang Jingchuan accepts his appointment in court, but looking at his expression, it cannot be linked to happiness in any case.

Could it be that Shang Luoluo was really right and everything was just Shang Jingchuan's wishful thinking?

"Hey, what happened to Uncle Shang?" Zui'er was still a little confused.

Zhao Ya didn't say a word and took her back home.

When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Shang Jingchuan sitting blankly under the tree. He still wore the official uniform that he regarded as a treasure and only wore it for a while when going to court and changed out of it immediately when he got home.

Shang Luoluo stood beside him, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Ya asked.

Shang Luoluo shook his head, "I won't tell you if I ask, but it's obvious that it's not going well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jingchuan suddenly started to cry loudly under the tree.

Crying and banging his head against a tree.

"Your Majesty, how could you listen to the slander? Didn't you say before that you should take good care of me? But in the end, you made me the governor of Jingzhao?"

Shang Jingchuan shouted while crying.

At this point, Zhao Ya and Shang Luoluo finally understood what was going on.

"What kind of official is Jingzhao Prefecture Yin?" Zhao Ya asked.

Shang Luoluo smiled bitterly, "Third grade, in name he is the highest official in the capital, but in fact he is an official who catches thieves and maintains public order."

Zhao Ya suddenly realized.

"The co-author has gone from being a high-ranking official in the county to being the chief of the police!"

As soon as these words came out, Shang Jingchuan cried even harder.

Shang Luoluo glanced at Zhao Ya angrily.

Although she also felt that Shang Jingchuan was to blame for his current fate, he was her biological father after all, so she couldn't just sit back and watch.

Zhao Ya also realized that he had made a mistake, smiled awkwardly, and then helped to persuade him.

After finally calming down Shang Jingchuan, Shang Luoluo asked about what happened in detail.

Shang Jingchuan then recounted everything that happened in the court.

After listening, Shang Luoluo frowned slightly.

"Although it is not reliable to say that you will join the cabinet and worship the prime minister, it will not directly assign your father to be the governor of Jingzhao. Otherwise, the emperor would not have specially summoned you before and said so many words of encouragement, so this Someone is clearly up to something in there."

Shang Jingchuan slapped his thigh after hearing this, "I think so too. The Emperor must have been deceived by a treacherous villain, otherwise he would never have done this."

"But the question is, who would do this?" Zhao Ya asked.

Shang Luoluo suddenly asked: "Who is the current pastor of Jingzhao Prefecture?"

Although there is only one word difference between Jingzhao Fuyin and Jingzhao Fumu, their meanings are quite different.

Just as Zhao Ya said, the governor of Jingzhao is the chief catcher of Yandu City. He sounds majestic, but in fact he has little authority.

Moreover, whenever something happens in the capital, he will be the first to be blamed, which is very sad.

The Jingzhao Prefecture Mu is different. He is the highest official in the capital and the immediate boss of the Jingzhao Prefecture Yin. He is in charge of guarding the major city gates. He is a high-ranking and powerful position. Therefore, this position is often held by the emperor’s most trusted person. person to take charge.

"It's...King Qi!"

Shang Jingchuan said with great difficulty, his face a little ugly.

Of course he knew what was going on between his daughter and King Qi's daughter Yan Fei. Now that he was working for someone else as an official, one could imagine how bleak his prospects were.

Although Shang Luoluo's expression also changed, he still analyzed it very calmly: "So, this King Qi is the most suspicious one."

"But I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

Zhao Ya was not involved.

Because no matter whether Shang Jingchuan becomes the governor of Jingzhao, or whether he really joins the cabinet and becomes the prime minister as he dreamed of, this matter has nothing to do with him.

After thinking for a long time, Shang Luoluo finally gave up because there was too little available information.

After such an incident, Shang Jingchuan was naturally not in the mood for dinner. He was about to go back to his house to sleep. At this moment, Zhao Ya proposed moving.

"What? You're moving away?"

Shang Jingchuan and Shang Luoluo, father and daughter, were both very surprised.

Zhao Ya nodded, "I feel a little embarrassed after bothering you for so long since I came to the capital, so I looked for a house and the money has already been paid."

After hearing this, the expression on Shang Luoluo's face instantly became dull.

Even when he heard that his father's career was blocked, Shang Luoluo was not so disappointed.

But she still forced herself to smile and said: "Then...congratulations!"

Shang Jingchuan took a deep look at Zhao Ya, and finally his expression turned cold.

"In that case, please forgive me for not sending Young Master Zhao off."

Putting aside these cold words, Shang Jingchuan turned around and left.

Upon seeing this, Shang Luoluo said apologetically: "My father is in a bad mood today, so don't be the same as him."

Zhao Ya smiled and shook his head, "Not really."

This dinner was tasteless.

After finishing the meal, Zhao Ya took Zui'er, who had already packed his luggage, to say goodbye and leave.

Shang Luoluo stood in front of the door to say goodbye. He opened his mouth several times to speak, but finally held back.

"Sister Luoluo, I..." Zui'er wanted to say something.

"Zui'er, don't talk too much." Zhao Ya said suddenly.

Zui'er had no choice but to close his mouth.

"Miss Luoluo, farewell." Zhao Ya said with cupped hands.

"Well, farewell!" Shang Luo said in a low voice, and then watched Zhao Ya and Zui'er go away.

It wasn't until the two men's backs could no longer be seen clearly that Shang Luoluo sighed with infinite regret.

"Lu Yao knows that Ma Li can see people's hearts over time. It seems that people really have to go through some twists and turns before they can see someone clearly!"

Shang Jingchuan's voice suddenly came from behind.

Shang Luoluo turned around and looked.

They saw Shang Jingchuan taking off his official uniform and wearing homely clothes. He was squatting on the steps like an old farmer, his expression on his face was somewhat unpredictable when illuminated by the light.

"Before, before I lost power, he didn't even talk about moving. Now that I have just lost power, he left without hesitation. It seems that this Zhao Ya's character is not as pure as you and I have seen before." Shang Jingchuan said coldly.

Shang Luoluo didn't say anything, just lowered his head.

"I know you are disappointed. If you want to cry, just cry..."

"Is that enough?" Shang Luoluo suddenly interrupted Shang Jingchuan, then raised his head and looked at him with an angry face.

"Do you really think that everyone is like you and cares about those bullshit official positions? Not to mention that you are now a governor of Jingzhao. Even if you really join the cabinet to worship the prime minister as you think, Zhao Ya will not look at you twice."

Shang Luoluo, who was always elegant in conversation, rarely used curse words, which showed that he was really angry.

Shang Jingchuan was stunned by the shock, and it wasn't until a moment later that he started to tremble with anger.

"You are still speaking for that guy until this moment. You haven't married him yet. Are you just going to him like this?"

"It's none of your business who I turn to. Don't bother me with your stuff in the future."

"Am I bothering you? Isn't it just for you that I worked so hard to climb up?"

"For me?" Shang Luoluo laughed angrily.

"When I was still young, you often left me alone at home for a day just for so-called official entertainment. Were you doing it for me at that time?"

Shang Jingchuan's face froze, and most of his arrogance disappeared in an instant, and he muttered: "That...that's not special..."

"Okay, you are in a special situation, but later on when I was bullied by Yan Fei and many friends, and they even blocked the door and scolded me, where were you?"

"Why...there is such a thing, why didn't I know about it?" Shang Jingchuan looked shocked.

"Of course you don't know. You will just come home drunk and fall asleep. Even if I want to say a few words to you, you are too lazy to listen. You think I am just a child, so I never said anything to you again." You mentioned this."

"At that time, I hid at home every day and would never go out unless I had to. The only things that accompanied me every day were the flowers and plants in the yard and this big tree. Did you ever know this?"

"Over the years, you have gone your own way in order to realize your ideals. I have endured all of this. After all, who made me your daughter, but have you ever considered my feelings?"

"Yes, later I grew up and became sensible, and you started asking for my opinions, but you had no idea what I had experienced as a child."

"You are just a sad person who always lives in his own world, thinking that he is a good father and a good minister, but in fact he has accomplished nothing except being full of pedantic knowledge."

Years of grievance finally broke out at this moment.

Shang Luoluo said these words with tears in his eyes, almost pointing at Shang Jingchuan's nose.

Shang Jingchuan was speechless and his face turned blue and white.

He really had no idea so many things had happened to his daughter.

And the words Shang Luoluo just cursed were like a wake-up call, making Shang Jingchuan confused.

For a moment, both of them were silent.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the hospital.

Shang Luoluo frowned.

Who could come so late?

But she still wiped the tears from her eyes and walked to the door.

"who is it?"

"I!"

A familiar voice came, Shang Luoluo was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously opened the courtyard door.

really.

It was Zhao Ya and Zui'er who were standing outside the door.

But at this moment, Zhao Ya was holding two lanterns in his hands and looking at her with a smile.

Shang Luoluo was a little confused.

"Didn't you... move to a new home?"

"Yes, that's why I came here specially to invite you to the dinner party at my new home. I wonder if Miss Luoluo would like to honor you?"

As he spoke, Zhao Ya also raised the lantern in his hand, "I heard that you have to hang lanterns when you move into a new house, so I went to the street and bought two."

Shang Luoluo's eyes flashed with joy.

Although she had refuted Shang Jingchuan's words forcefully just now, Zhao Ya's sudden move out at this time still caused a big shock to her.

Now that Zhao Ya invited him to attend the dinner at his new home, Shang Luoluo felt better.

But she still shook her head, "No need, it's too late today. I'll go over and congratulate you tomorrow."

"Don't worry, it's not too late at all, because guess where I moved to?"

As he spoke, Zhao Ya dodged away and pointed back.

I saw the middle door of the house across the road wide open, and Zui'er was standing in the doorway with a smile and waving to Shang Luoluo.

"You..." Shang Luoluo opened his eyes wide.

"At that time, I told Fang Ya that I wanted to buy a relatively spacious house, and it was best not too far away from Guangdefang. What a coincidence, you said, that the Minister of Rites was about to retire and return to his hometown. This house was planned to be sold. I came over. When I took a look, I realized that it was actually opposite your house, so I bought it.”

Looking at Zhao Ya with a serious look on his face, Shang Luo burst into tears and laughed, then said angrily: "So you and Zui'er were teasing me on purpose just now?"

"No, after all, this is considered moving, it's just that it's relatively close."

As he spoke, Zhao Ya smiled at Shang Luoluo and said, "Come on, help me hang the lantern."

Shang Luo rolled his eyes at Zhao Ya, then reached out to take the lantern, and then happily ran to the opposite side to work with Zui'er.

Zhao Ya glanced at the courtyard and saw that Shang Jingchuan, who was squatting on the steps, had disappeared.

In fact, Zhao Ya heard the quarrel between their father and daughter just now outside the hospital.

Zhao Ya didn't care about Shang Jingchuan's misunderstanding.

I just didn't expect that Shang Luoluo would be so tough and directly criticize his father.

But what Shang Luoluo said is correct. I hope this Shang Jingchuan can take care of himself.

Zhao Ya closed the courtyard door and returned to his new home.

While Zhao Ya and Zui'er Shang Luoluo were planning their new home together, Wei Tianlin was playing chess with someone in the Wei Mansion.

When the person opposite made a move, Wei Tianlin carefully observed the chess game and finally said with a helpless smile.

"I lost again. It seems that Qi Wang Qiantai's chess skills are getting better and better."

Sitting across from him was a middle-aged man wearing a crown and a python robe. He was none other than King Yan Sifu of Qi, who was extremely respected among the Yan royal family.
