Chapter 54 The Third Uncle Is Not Human
Compared to last night's turmoil, today's Zhao family is so quiet that it makes people feel a little uneasy.

He took the third sister out on his own initiative, but his mother-in-law didn't wait for her in her yard, and scolded her head and face.

Zhao Jinyun was also worried, and asked in a low voice, "Where is Second Aunt?"

Zhao Jinyi pushed her: "Go and take a bath quickly. Look at these eyes, they are as red as rabbits."

Zhao Jinyun went obediently.

Zhao Jinyi was a little tired, but he couldn't rest yet.

It's best if A Niang doesn't come to find her, she is not free yet.

While the third sister was taking a bath, Zhao Jinyi was going to find his grandfather.

After all, it was her grandfather who suppressed it first, so she could safely take her third sister to Baoxiang Temple.

Zhao Jinyi knew very well that the current prosperity of the Zhao family was all thanks to their grandfather Zhao Qing.

The eldest uncle has been an official for many years, and his achievements in office are mediocre, and he has not received a good comment from the chief for many years.But there are more and more concubines around her.It may be difficult for the Zhao family to rely on him.

As for my father...

Zhao Jinyi is very fair.

Although Dad does not take concubines and is very well-behaved, the hat of not being enterprising is firmly on his head.It's not that she dislikes her father's low official position.It's good that Dad is like this, but there is always a little regret in it.High-ranking officials don't necessarily use dirty means to step on other people's corpses to climb up, but they can also get promoted by earnestly seeking more benefits for the common people.

Forget it, Dad is pretty good now.

As for the third uncle...

Zhao Jinyi put a serious face on his face and walked into Tai'an courtyard.

It was cold, and the yard that used to be full of flowers became empty.Presumably, the grandfather who loves flowers moved all the flowers into the house again.

A sharp-eyed servant had already reported inside: "The fourth girl is here!"

The closed door immediately opened twice, revealing Guanshi Hu's head: "The fourth girl is here!"

Zhao Jinyi's solemn face suddenly turned into a smile: "Boss!"

As soon as the fourth girl came, the quiet Tai'an courtyard suddenly became lively.

Zhao Jinyi was about to step into his grandfather's living room, but Manager Hu dragged her to the side greenhouse: "Look, Miss Si, that Yaohuang plant has flower buds!"

Yaohuang is one of the peony varieties carefully cultivated by my grandfather.

After he became an official, the grandfather had nothing to do, and it was also a pleasure to fight with his colleagues in the early years all day long.

Zhao Jinyi had something on his mind, so he only took a quick glance at Yao Huang who seemed to have a flower bud: "Steward Hu, send someone to tell me when Yao Huang blooms."

Manager Hu blinked: "This Yaohuang plant is the old man's favorite."

Something is wrong with Manager Hu.

Zhao Jinyi stood still and carefully sized up Guanshi Hu.

Apart from blinking, Manager Hu had an unnatural smile on his face.Zhao Jinyi frowned: "Guard Hu, but what happened to grandfather?"

The smile on Manager Hu's face suddenly became a little confused: "The old man is full of energy."

Zhao Jinyi cast a sidelong glance at Guanshi Hu, turned around and stepped out of the threshold.In the past, when she came to Tai'an Courtyard, her grandfather was in a hurry to call her in, but today he pushed her back and asked her to enjoy the flowers. There must be something inside!
Manager Hu chased after her: "Miss Si, the old man is really well!"

Zhao Jinyi stepped into his grandfather's living room.

Grandfather Zhao Qingzheng was sitting majestically behind the desk with a volume of books in front of him.

Zhao Jinyi called his grandfather, walked over, and looked at his grandfather carefully.Well, grandfather's complexion is indeed as energetic as Guanshi Hu said, but there is no brazier in this room, why is there still a drop of sweat on grandfather's forehead?
Zhao Qing was a little embarrassed for her to see, and said, "What is Yi'er doing?"

Zhao Jinyi said calmly, "Why is grandfather sweating? But he is not feeling well?" She had heard that some patients would sweat profusely even in cold weather.

Zhao Qing took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead, and said with a smile, "I just ate hot tea, and I actually sweated. Haha, my body is still strong."

Zhao Jinyi didn't see any doubts, and since he had something important to worry about, he didn't ask why his grandfather was sweating.

She looked solemn: "Grandfather, the third uncle wants to dedicate the third sister to him as a concubine, does grandfather have a good idea of ​​him?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qing stopped wiping his sweat and looked at his granddaughter standing in front of him.

He waited for a day, leaving aside the evil son Zhao Chenghuan, the entire Zhao family had to ask Zhao Jinyi about this matter.

But none of the men from the Zhao family who should have come to ask questions has been seen today.

He also heard that Zhao Xiuyuan and Zhao Xiuwen still went out to meet friends carelessly.Zhao Jinyun is Zhao Xiuwen's biological sister!Seeing that his own sister was about to be given to someone else as a concubine by his father, Zhao Xiuwen was so strong last night that he died down again.

Alas, his decision to find a husband for Yi'er was probably the most correct decision he made in his life.

As Zhao Qing thought about it, his eyes moved to the bottom of the table.

Just now, he and Guanshi Hu were carefully studying the gentlemen of suitable ages, when the granddaughter suddenly came in, which frightened him, and hurriedly pushed Guanshi Hu out to stop the granddaughter, while he tidied up in a hurry.

Although it was not cleaned up.

There was a piece of paper under his feet.

Well, it's not impossible to save clothes when recruiting a son-in-law, but he hasn't made a good choice yet, so he can't let his granddaughter be dazzled by casually falling in love with a certain dissatisfied man.

Recruiting a son-in-law is very important, but what Zhao Jinyi asked is also very important.This will be a major event facing the entire Zhao family.Although he has never seen that person's methods before, but in the early years of the battle between dragons and tigers, he was the only one who stood on the wrong team and still enjoys the glory and wealth.

It can be seen that the man's means are not ordinary.

The expression on Zhao Qing's face also became solemn: "Third Uncle Ni is so confused that he actually took refuge in that person's hands."

Zhao Jinyi looked at his grandfather without blinking, his small face was calm and eager for knowledge.

Cough, it's more like hearing incredible gossip.

Zhao Qingsheng didn't know that his granddaughter was on an official mission in Changchun, doing some news gathering outside.Daily mansion newspapers that seem to be true or false are flying all over the sky, but she is not happy to read them.

Zhao Qing suddenly remembered something: "Your third uncle took refuge in that person, you don't think so?"

Zhao Jinyi's face suddenly became embarrassing: "The whereabouts of the third uncle is not easy to grasp..." It's not that she is difficult to grasp, but after the third uncle is on duty, he either goes to the Fireworks and Willow Lane with his colleagues, or Get into some dance halls that can only be entered with a waist card.It's not that Changchun didn't dare to go, but after going there once or twice, the amount of money she came back to ask her to pay the bill was so much that it made her feel a little pained.

Anyway, it's my third uncle, so I shouldn't go to much trouble, at most, I will bring back one or two concubines every now and then.

Thinking so, Zhao Jinyi told Changchun not to let people stare at his third uncle.

As for that person, he had inadvertently collected information while staring at other people.

When going through the news carefully, Zhao Jinyi hated that person extremely.

Because of that man's licentiousness, he killed many little girls from good families.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jinyi felt angry, the third uncle was really not a human being.
