Chapter 28 The errand

Ningguo Duke’s Mansion, main hall of the main courtyard, Ningjing Hall.

Ningguo Duke Zhao Zhen sat upright in the main hall of Ningguo Duke Mansion, while sucking hot tea, he glanced at the imperial eunuch in the hands of the eunuch. If someone familiar with Zhao Zhen's character was present, he would not be as calm as he seemed to be on the surface at this moment.

The eunuch Qiao Wei looked at his nose, his nose, his mouth, and his mouth, and his heart were watched. The old god sat freely in Zhao Zhen's right hand, without moving. This kind of sitting skill was beyond the ordinary people.

When Zhao Rong followed Zhao Yongquan to Ningjingtang, he saw this scene. In an instant, Zhao Rong realized that it seemed that the situation was not very good.

Without waiting for Zhao Rong to observe more, Zhao Zhen stood up and smiled and introduced, "Eunuch Qiao, this is the son Zhao Rong, Brother Rong, why don't you come forward to see Eunuch Qiao Wei Qiao!"

Zhao Rong was curious, looked at him casually, and then quickly stepped forward to pay homage, "Zhao Rong has met Eunuch Qiao!"

"It's indeed a handsome talent!"

Qiao Wei praised with a smile, "The family is in the palace, I heard that the young master is a romantic and dashing figure. I saw him today, and it turns out to be true!"

Zhao Rong knew that this was Qiao Wei's polite words, so he did not continue the topic, but said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Rong was so aware of advancing and retreating, which surprised both Zhao Zhen and Qiao Wei. Zhao Zhen felt that Zhao Rong was well-educated and well-reasoned, and was completely different from the son he had in his image. Qiao Wei felt that although Zhao Rong was young, his behavior was quite mature, so he secretly paid attention to him.

"Haha, whether it's hard or not, these are all our family's duties. Okay, our family will not waste time. Since the young master has arrived, please accept the order!"

Qiao Wei solemnly held up the imperial edict, cleared his throat, and his expression was extremely serious.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen immediately signaled his eyes. Zhao Rong understood it instantly, and he knelt down on the ground and prepared to receive the order.

Qiao Wei didn't talk nonsense, and opened the imperial edict and read it directly, "In accordance with the heavens, the emperor's edict said that Zhao Rong, the Duke of Ningguo, is aware of books and rituals, and is talented and virtuous. He should inherit state affairs. He was specially appointed as the deputy commander of the Dongcheng, the military commander of the Five Cities Military and Horses. I hope you can be loyal to the state affairs and be loyal to this."

The imperial edict is not long, and it is not difficult to understand just a few words.

"Five-city military commander Dongcheng, deputy commander?"

When Zhao Rong was hesitating about how to receive the order, he knew that the Emperor Tongguang in the Forbidden City had already assigned him such a position.

Although, Zhao Rong didn't know what the deputy commander of the Dongcheng, the military commander of the five cities, was doing!

"Why don't you thank me quickly and get the order!" However, Zhao Zhen saw that Zhao Rong was still in a daze, so he pushed him with his elbow.

"I... I will receive the order to thank you!"

Zhao Rong, who was reminded, immediately learned the routines he saw in the TV series in his previous life, and kowtowed to the imperial edict in a good manner, which was considered to be a holy intention. However, Zhao Rong's rather strange behavior inevitably made him feel uncomfortable. However, after all, the eunuch of the imperial edict was still there, and Zhao Zhen did not happen. He just thought that the next thing he should find a gentleman to teach Zhao Rong some official etiquette, so as to avoid being ridiculed by his colleagues in the future.

While thinking, Zhao Zhen smiled and inadvertently stuffed a few silver notes into Qiao Wei's cuffs, and then said earnestly, "The child is absurd and does not know the affairs of the officialdom. If he annoys the emperor again in the future, he will ask his father-in-law to have more beautiful words..."

Qiao Wei only glanced at it and knew that Zhao Zhen sent a silver note of less than three or four hundred taels. It is said that it is Qian Tongsi, so Qiao Wei would not be an exception. Besides, the begging man is still a dignified Duke of Ning. He smiled with a hint of embarrassment as Qiao Wei pretended to be a little embarrassed, "This is embarrassing our family, but please rest assured. Anywhere that can speak, our family will definitely not help..."

Zhao Zhen also knew that Qiao Wei was talking about the scene, but he didn't take it to heart. After Zhao Rong thanked Qiao Wei again, he personally sent Qiao Wei out of the mansion.

Zhao Rong followed Zhao Zhen to see the people from the palace. He wanted to return to Yuewei Xiaozhu and think about what the deputy commander of the Dongcheng of the Five Cities Military and Horses should do, but Zhao Zhen was domineeringly stayed.

Zhao Zhen did not say a word and took Zhao Rong back to Ningjingtang.

Zhao Zhen sat upright in the main seat, took a sip of tea, and said a little absent, "I thought the emperor would give you a free servant like the Jinyiwei Qianhu, but I didn't expect that he would be the deputy commander of the Five City Military and Horses. The holy intention was unpredictable, and the worries of our Emperor's Majesty are becoming increasingly elusive!"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it was not appropriate to say these in front of Zhao Rong, so he changed his tone of deputy instructor and said, "Thunder and rain are all holy graces. Since the emperor has issued an order and ordered your errands, you should be a good job and do not lose the reputation of our Ningguo Duke's Mansion."

Zhao Rong made promises repeatedly.

"Also, although these five cities are a yamen that is big or small, they are very involved in the security of the capital, so after all, you must be careful after going there. When you encounter something you don't understand, you must think twice before acting. Do not be reckless and impulsive. If you annoy that, you may not be able to protect you as a father!" Zhao Zhen reminded again.

Facing these words, Zhao Rong felt a little warm and moved. This scene reminded him of the old father's teachings in his previous life. Thinking of this, Zhao Rong's eyes were slightly red and he did not dare to stay. After receiving Zhao Zhen's wishes, he returned to Yuewei Xiaozhu.

When Zhao Rong came back, the door plaque built by Yuwei was already hung. Perhaps the sun was warm. Qin Keqing and Zhao Xichun didn't enter the house. They were in the courtyard, directing Zhao Le, Zhao Hu and several servants to plow. When Zhao Rong asked, he learned that Qin Keqing planned to plant flowers and plants in the spring of the next year.

"What's the difficulty? If you want to see the flowers, I have an idea that you can see them all year round!" Zhao Rong smiled proudly after knowing Qin Keqing's plan.

"Brother Rong, you brag again. If you can see flowers all year round, wouldn't it be the spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and heat, and the flowers fade and fall?" Before Qin Keqing could express his opinion, Zhao Xichun was the first to stand up to express his doubts.

"The mountain man has his own tricks, you can just wait and see!"

Zhao Rong kept a secret and said to everyone with some smugness without explaining it, "The emperor has issued an order and ordered my mistake. Tomorrow I will be the deputy commander of the Dongcheng commander of the Five City Military and Horses Si..."

"Five-city military commander Dongcheng, deputy commander?"
