It was getting late,
The sky was already overcast, and the wine stalls by the side of the road could not be seen clearly. The strong wind blew the red lanterns of the Zhao family.
Zhao Jide shrunk his head and bowed,
He called out, "Hello, Uncle Li! Uncle, please come in! "
A black shadow answered vaguely,
He shook his black veil hat and said, "Nephew, you have grown up." He shook his door.
Zhao Jide was so cold that his tongue was trembling. He called out, "Hello, Assistant Minister Gong! Assistant Minister, please come in! "
A green shadow turned around in a daze and shook his black veil hat. "Second Young Master, please keep the ceremony." He put it in the door.
A dim shadow went in,
Another gray shadow shook his black veil hat,
He emerged from the strong wind. Without waiting for a greeting,
He did not look at Zhao Jide, who was shivering from the cold, and went in on the spot.
At first, Zhao Jide was still saying "Uncle Li", "Assistant Minister Gong", and so on,
Later..,
The sky was getting darker and darker, and he was numb in the wind,
He did not know what he was saying,
He only bowed vigorously.
"Please come in –"
"Come in your big head!" The person slapped Zhao Jide on the head, almost making him stagger. He threw a large sweater on his head. "Look at your lips that are blue from the cold,
I saw that Yude said in his letter,
A few days ago, you were forced by your father to study in the winter night and fell seriously ill. You have just recovered from your illness, why are you still welcoming guests? There is no one at the door. Hurry up and drink some hot water with me. The servant is enough at the door. "
Zhao Jide muttered, "Father said that an honored guest is visiting … As the eldest son, I should …"
"Father, father, that's your father, not the Emperor. Even the Emperor, if he froze his son to death for the sake of face and etiquette, Then I dare to say a few words to him! You, Zhao Mutou, at least be on your own for once. "
"Buzhi, you've gone too far! This is a great disrespect. Saint Yun – "
"Enough!" Li Guo rolled his eyes and pulled him forcefully. "Let's go. It's rare for me to come to the capital for a few days. We've been classmates for so many years, and you didn't even drink a few pots of tea with me. Do you still treat me as a friend?"
Perhaps it was because the woolen clothes were too thick, or because his friend's palm was too warm, or because Zhao Jide could not stand the cold from the outside. The young man of etiquette, in the end, he left with his friend from the south and disappeared into the street at the end of the wind.
The gatekeeper had just gone in, the second young master, the second young Master, the second young master.
The last official to arrive was welcomed in by the Zhao family's gatekeeper.
It was chilly outside, but the main room was warm with burning charcoal. The people sitting in a circle were all wearing official's clothes.
The leader cupped his hands towards Official Zhao and said, "Long time no see. Brother Zhao went to Yungui to punish the corrupt officials and quell the rebellion. Mediocre people like us have heard of the name 'Zhao Qingtian' from afar in the capital. He has been worshipped by the people in Guilin."
. Lord Zhao stiffly returned the greeting. "You flatter me. I'm just following orders. Getting rid of the corruption of the Holy Lord is part of my duty. "
He looked around at the guests and stared at a few of them who wished they could die of old age. He asked curiously, "Why have you all come here today?"
Everyone was embarrassed. Assistant Minister Zhu laughed. "Old Zhao, we've been colleagues for decades. Your bad temper is the same as it was in the past few decades. You don't even say a few words of courtesy and just ask. "
Minister Zuo of the Supreme Court was the oldest. He stroked his long beard. "Alright, alright. Old Zhao, I know you don't like these people. However, we are all officials of the same court and are the Emperor's subjects. There are some things that need to be said. "
Thus, he told them about the difficult situation of the court and the Emperor's temper.
