The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 201 The Unpopular Cheng Chumo

The next morning, Zhao Chen had breakfast and then headed to Duke Yi's Mansion with Li Ruoshuang and Cheng Chumo.

Yesterday afternoon, many officials came to visit again.

Zhao Chen was nowhere to be seen, and even the gifts were returned in the same way.

Among them were even gifts sent by people from Prince Li Chengqian and King Wei Li Tai.

Zhao Chen's performance in the court yesterday, coupled with the attitude of the emperor and queen towards Zhao Chen, made many people feel that Zhao Chen's future was limitless.

But after being rejected by Zhao Chen one after another, many people began to speak ill of Zhao Chen behind his back.

Zhao Chen, now the whole Chang'an City has heard about your performance in the palace yesterday. ??

Today, you are definitely the most popular person in Chang'an City.

Besides, there are many students who are extremely excited to hear that you, the deputy examiner of this autumn exam, are here.

Cheng Chumo walked beside Zhao Chen, holding some gifts prepared by the three of them, and turned back to talk to Zhao Chen.

Why are you excited? Zhao Chen was a little surprised.

Whether you serve as deputy examiner or not will have little impact on the candidates.

There are rumors circulating outside that His Majesty wants to pay attention to poor families, so you have the opportunity to be the deputy examiner. Li Ruoshuang explained.

I thought it was because of my ability. Zhao Chen laughed and said.

In fact, he also knows.

The emperor insisted on letting himself be the deputy examiner because he actually wanted to tell the students all over the world.

Starting from this imperial examination, the emperor will open a way for students from poor families to become officials.

Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to ask Zhao Chen to argue with those people in the Tai Chi Hall.

Actually, I feel like I dug a hole in advance, and then I jumped into it now. Zhao Chen shook his head.

How do you say that? Cheng Chumo said with a smile.

I had raised the issue with Lao Li before about the reform of the imperial examination system, but now he just kicked me into the pit. Zhao Chen shook his head with a wry smile.

Brother, don't tell me, His Majesty is treating you like that.

It's really possible. I just heard what my old man said. His Majesty said, no matter how this matter is handled in the future, I will keep you. Cheng Chumo said.

Old Li Tou is a liar, so Uncle Cheng will believe his words. Zhao Chen curled his lips and continued to walk forward slowly.

Duke Yi's Mansion and Duke Wei's Mansion are located in the same building.

The three of them walked for some time before reaching the door of Duke Yi's mansion.

Open the door, old Cheng is here. Cheng Chumo held the gift in one hand and patted the door of the Duke's Mansion with the other hand.

Ey-

The door opened and a head poked out.

What's wrong, you don't recognize me? Cheng Chumo said.

General Cheng, why are you here again? Our young master said that he has not seen any guests recently...

What nonsense are you talking about? I am a guest? I am Xiao Qin's brother and we are one family. If you don't open the door for me when I go home, I will beat you up. Cheng Chumo interrupted the boy in the Duke's Mansion, full of laughter. He said with an unhappy face.

When he had nothing to do, Cheng Chumo would come over almost every day to play with Qin Huaiyu.

But because the two of them always caused trouble before, Qin Qiong asked his servants not to allow Cheng Chumo to come in.

Although it was useless every time, the servants of Duke Yi's Mansion still did not dare to neglect it.

No, Cheng Chumo was blocked again.

Old Cheng seems to be very unpopular. Zhao Chen smiled and walked to Cheng Chumo's side.

Looking at the boy blocking the door to prevent Cheng Chumo from getting in, he cupped his hands and said, Brother, I am Xiao Qin's friend Zhao Chen. I made an agreement with him yesterday to come over and see Uncle Qin today...

You are Mr. Zhao Chen, Mr. Zhao! Before Zhao Chen could finish speaking, he saw excitement on the boy's face.

Mr. Zhao, please come in quickly. I am too young to see Mount Tai. My master said yesterday that Mr. Zhao is the benefactor of our Duke's mansion. If he comes, he must be well received.

Young Master Zhao, please forgive me, Mr. Zhao. The young man quickly opened the door of the Duke's Mansion and helped Zhao Chen inside with both hands.

What the hell... Cheng Chumo was confused by the boy's two-faced approach.

He glared at the young man fiercely, silently took the gift and followed him.

Li Ruoshuang smiled and shook her head, walked into the Duke's Mansion, and closed the door behind her.

… ??

Father, how do you feel today?

In Duke Yi's mansion, Qin Huaiyu was holding a medicine bowl and feeding Qin Qiong medicine.

Although Qin Qiong's body is slowly recovering, it still takes time.

Qin Huaiyu was frightened this time and now insisted on feeding Qin Qiong the medicine himself.

Father, I feel much better. It is our Qin family's blessing that you can meet Zhao Chen. Qin Qiong leaned on the couch and said slowly to Qin Huaiyu.

Father frightened Huaiyu yesterday. I thought I would never hear my father call me again in this life. Qin Huaiyu said with a look of joy on his face.

If it weren't for Zhao Chen, he could really only watch his father die in front of him.

Qin Huaiyu never wanted to experience that kind of torment again.

People will die after all. I am lucky enough to save my life this time. It can be considered that God has treated me well.

Huaiyu, Zhao Chen's identity is definitely not simple. If you treat him sincerely, he will treat you like a brother and sister. You must never let him down in the future.

Otherwise, I won't be the first to agree. Qin Qiong and Qin Huaiyu urged.

Don't worry, father, how could Huaiyu be such a person? Zhao Chen is my brother, how could I let him down?

By the way, Zhao Chen said yesterday that he would come over to see you in the morning. I think it's almost time...

Master! Master, Mr. Zhao is here!

The servant's voice came from outside.

Xiao Qin, I want to deal with this little boy in your house today, can you? Cheng Chumo's roar also came in.

\u003e

Helping my father up...

Father, just lie down, Zhao Chen won't care about this. Qin Huaiyu quickly stopped Qin Qiong.

Zhao Chen never cared about the complicated etiquette. The more you behaved, the more uncomfortable Zhao Chen felt.

Okay, go and invite them in. Qin Qiong nodded and lay down on the couch.

Qin Huaiyu left the room and saw Zhao Chen standing at the door.

Cheng Chumo bared his teeth at the boy beside him.

Li Ruoshuang stood beside Zhao Chen with a smile on her face.

Zhao Chen, come on, come in, sister-in-law, Lao Cheng, you all come in quickly.

Go get some pastries.

Qin Huaiyu took Zhao Chen and talked to a few people.

When several people walked into the room, they saw that Qin Qiong's face was still slightly pale.

Zhao Chen, come, sit here. Qin Qiong waved to Zhao Chen with a smile on his face.

How do you feel, Uncle Qin? Zhao Chen sat down on the stool and took Qin Qiong's pulse.

Qin Qiong looked at Zhao Chen's face and muttered several times.

He wanted to know what the relationship between Zhao Chen and the emperor was, and why they looked so similar.

However, Qin Qiong finally held back.

I feel like my body is slowly getting stronger, and I don't feel as cold as before. Qin Qiong smiled and said to Zhao Chen.

Uncle Qin has been fighting all year round. He has lost too much blood and has not received any replenishment. It is normal for his body to feel cold.

Uncle Qin can recover after a few days of training. Maybe Uncle Qin can go to the next campaign against Tubo. Zhao Chen took back his hand and said to Qin Qiong.

After the blood transfusion, Qin Qiong's problems were no longer serious.

Although he cannot return to his former peak state due to age issues, he will not be in another situation.

That's lucky to have you, otherwise...

Zhao Chen, I want to thank you on my father's behalf. Qin Huaiyu plopped down again and knelt in front of Zhao Chen.
