Chapter 346 Gift
Although Wang Jin was not really drunk, he did drink a lot of wine. After saying what he wanted to say, he no longer had any thoughts in his heart. He lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
Zhou Huaishan covered him with a quilt, stared at Wang Jin's face for a moment, then turned around and went out.
Li Er stood guard at the door and glanced inside, "Are you asleep?"
Zhou Huaishan hummed, and the two left in silence.
In Zhou Qing's room, the lights were still on.
When Zhou Huaishan rushed in, Zhou Qing was eating Shen Xin's fried dried fish.
It has to be said that Shen Xin's cooking talent is really high. This dried fish was originally learned by her and Zhao, but after Shen Xin improved it, the taste is much better than Zhao's.
The spicy flavor is wrapped in the aroma of fish, one bite is refreshing.
I also mixed a pot of rosewood milk, which is sour and sweet with a milky aroma. It is delicious and beautiful to eat and drink together.
Zhou Huaishan came in, pulled up a chair and sat down, then reached out and took a small dried fish and threw it into his mouth, "It's delicious."
Zhou Qing poured him a glass of rosewood milk and said, "Dad, have a try."
Zhou Huaishan took a sip and said, "Did Shen Xin make it?"
"Um."
Zhou Huaishan took another sip and said, "Tsk, that's pretty cool. Is this what your store sells?"
"Um."
"That's right. I never expected that a stupid young man like Shen Li would have such a clever sister."
After drinking a small cup of rosewood milk, Zhou Huaishan refilled it for himself and told Zhou Qing about meeting the owner of a small restaurant today.
Originally, Li Er sent people to follow Wang Jin, but when Zhou Huaishan told him, he sent people to investigate directly near the small restaurant without involving Wang Jin.
"The restaurant was closed. When Li Er sent people to inquire, he didn't see Zhou Yuan or the forbidden troops that the boss mentioned. There were a few people watching at the door of the restaurant and on the trees next to it. In addition, the restaurant didn't There may be some people hiding in a house in the distance."
Before dinner, Zhou Huaishan greeted Zhou Qing and told her that he had something to tell her after dinner.
Zhou Qing never expected that such a thing would happen.
In Kyoto, the two of them had always had discussions, including the matter of killing Su Ke, and Zhou Qing also told Zhou Huaishan.
After hearing this, he was silent for a while, "Dad, do you think the words of the small restaurant owner are credible?"
Zhou Huaishan said: "We had dinner there before, and what he said was credible, but today, I'm really not sure."
Zhou Qing said: "If it's normal, forget it, but tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday, and Shen Li has been led away. I don't think this can be believed."
After a pause, Zhou Qing glanced at Li Yi and Li Er.
"If this is a trap, then the other party's purpose should be to send a message to Shadow through us, and then Shadow's people will go over to investigate Black Powder, the Forbidden Army, and Zhou Yuan's inexplicable release from prison.
Once you start investigating, you may just fall into the other party's trap.
But if it wasn't a trap, with so much black powder hidden there, not to mention what the other party was planning, the risk would be extremely high.
As long as there is a spark, if it explodes, the residential area over there will be devastated. "
Zhou Huaishan let out a long sigh, drank the rosewood milk in the cup in one gulp, and then added another cup, "When will I, Zhou Huaishan, start caring about people's livelihood and suffering? Tsk tsk, people really can't be judged by their appearance!"
Zhou Qing
There’s no need to use the word “cannot be judged by appearance”!
After finishing the newly arrived rosewood milk, Zhou Huaishan got another glass and suddenly slapped the table with a wicked smile on his face.
Zhou Qing was shocked.
"Daughter, here's what I'm thinking about this matter. Since neither of us has enough brains to think of a better way, we'll just use your old tricks."
Zhou Qing opened his eyes wide, "My old routine?"
"If the enemy doesn't move, you don't move. If the enemy wants to move, you move randomly."
Zhou Qing
"Tomorrow isn't the Queen Mother's birthday. I guess if they act like monsters, they will definitely get sick tomorrow. So if we get sick before they do, we might be able to use this as a trick."
"You mean, let's go to the palace banquet tomorrow? Didn't we agree that we would both sprain our feet together?"
"What's wrong with my feet!"
At this time, we must be positive!
They have already produced black powder. If I don't stand upright, I will be sorry for all their hard work! "
"Why just?"
"What you say is right! I'm prepared, so just act normally! When it comes to making trouble, I tell you, no one can win against me!"
Zhou Qing
"But, dad, as Shen Li's wife, I have no problem going to the palace for the banquet. How do you go? I can't go to the banquet with dad, right? What will I say when people ask me!"
Zhou Huaishan rolled his eyes, raised his head and drank the rosewood milk from the cup, "I'll bring it with you! Of course someone will invite me tomorrow, so just wait!"
Zhou Qing nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to dad."
With that said, he reached for the juice bottle and prepared to pour himself a glass.
result
The juice jug was facing the teacup, but not a drop was poured out.
"father?"
Zhou Huaishan suddenly bared his teeth, "I know that my daughter is filial, so this pot was prepared for me. In fact, I don't even like to drink it, but I can't bear to break my daughter's heart, so I gritted my teeth and finished the drink. What a good dad!"
Zhou Qing
On the birthday of the Empress Dowager, half of Kyoto's powerful circle went to the palace to celebrate her birthday.
A person like Zhou Huaishan, who has no official position, no title and no status, is of course not qualified to enter the palace.
But the Empress Dowager was "kind" and gave Zhou Huaishan this honor because Shen Li left his wife on his wedding night and devoted himself to the court.
On his birthday, Zhou Huaishan received an imperial edict from the palace.
Originally, Wang Jin did not plan to go to the banquet because Zhou Huaishan did not go to the palace, but when Zhou Huaishan received the imperial edict, Wang Jin immediately set off with Zhou Huaishan.
Early in the morning, the wife of Guangping Bo came to pick up Zhou Qing and Shen Xin in person.
The status of the Empress Dowager is that she has no shortage of gold, silver, and jewelry. When the younger generation gives gifts, they usually give a token of their heart.
They often give their own embroidery, delicacies, and handwritten scriptures.
It expresses a sincere heart and can also show off one's ability.
According to the reminder of the wife of Guangping Bo before, Zhou Qing did not prepare any DIY gifts for his birthday, but directly took a piece of raw stone.
This raw stone is the most expensive gemstone raw material Zhou Qing bought from the largest gem store in Kyoto.
On the day of purchase, the scene was so grand that they almost set off 20 strings of firecrackers and 20 double-kicks at the door of the store to announce it to the world.
It was very consistent with the Zhou family style: grand!
In this way, the Queen Mother could not make up things like food poisoning, embroidered curses, and insincerity.
Alas
Humble!
Life is not easy, Zhou Qing sighed.
Before the banquet started, the male guests were talking loudly in groups outside the banquet hall, while the female guests were led by the maids in front of the Queen Mother to the Imperial Garden.
As soon as he entered the Imperial Garden, Zhou Qing was personally named by the Queen Mother.
Zhou Qing
Tsk!
Head-on confrontation!
