Shen Cha was not surprised at all by Chige Lao's arrangement of retiring and returning home.
Chige Lao's wish in this life is to avenge his old friend. All his efforts in this life are for this purpose. Apart from this, he has no other thoughts.
Judging from the current progress, Chige Lao's wish has basically been realized, and he can truly leave Xijing, a place of right and wrong, to live out his life. As for why we chose Yancheng, it was naturally because of Chi Hong.
Thinking of this, Shen Cha looked at the eldest son Chi in front of her and couldn't help but sigh. She suddenly felt a little pity for the eldest son, or she felt pity for everyone in the Chi family except Chi Hong. In the eyes of Mr. Chi Ge, this His adopted son is his true heart.
"General, don't pity me. I wish he wouldn't pay attention to me and stay away from such messy things." Chi Rui smiled bitterly, "Look at my second brother, he thinks he has a place in his father's heart. Father Whatever he was asked to do, he did his best, even if it was to marry a wife, he went against his own wishes and married a girl from the old Jiangnan clan at the same time, giving up the girl he liked."
"What about the eldest son?" Shen Cha took two steps back and leaned on the table at the back. "As far as I know, the general knows that the eldest son's wife is also a young lady from the old Jiangnan tribe. Don't you feel that you have been arranged?"
"I don't have anyone I like, and I have no interest in things like getting married. If my father doesn't arrange it, I might not get married in my life. So..." Chi Rui shrugged, "I don't care, and Zhuo Jing is very caring to me. Okay, if you don’t mind an incompetent waste like me, I’m not qualified to find fault with her, right?”
"The eldest son is too modest. You are not some incompetent waste." Shen Cha raised the corners of her lips slightly, "There are several teahouses in Xijing City, and you are the boss behind them, right?" She smiled faintly, "These days This tea house may look tepid on the surface, but in the hearts of literati it is a good place to gather, make friends, and chat, because it is private enough that what they say does not have to worry about being spread out.”
"Even my wife doesn't know about my shops. Don't talk about my father." Chi Rui looked at the young girl standing in front of him and couldn't help but feel like he was following the one who was behind him. For the first time, he admitted that he seemed They are old, and the future of Daxia belongs to these young people. "The general is really aware of everything. I'm convinced."
"This is our duty. If the eldest son feels offended, please forgive me."
"General, you're welcome."
"For Mr. Chi Ge and Chi Hong, does the eldest master have anything to add?"
Chi Rui thought for a while, shook his head towards Shen Cha, and said sheepishly, "The general also saw it. I don't interact with my father and younger brother very frequently. I only know a rough idea of what they are doing. I don’t know the specific situation, so..." He smiled bitterly, "If I can remember anything, I will tell the general in time."
Shen Cha nodded, waved his hand, and asked the shadow next to him to take Chi Rui back to the cell, and told the jailer to take good care of him, not to lack food and clothing, and not to neglect him. Although Mr. Chi Ge and Chi Hong did violate the laws of Daxia, according to the results of their investigation, this young master Chi is really a clean stream in the Chi family. A child like him who comes from a clean family, Either he concentrates on learning or is obsessed with official career. People like him who make a fortune silently are really rare and very rare.
After Chi Rui was taken away, everyone looked at the sky. It was almost time for lunch. Bai Meng had been thinking about a newly opened Shu-style restaurant next to Dali Temple some time ago. I heard that half of the dishes there were spicy. Yes, and very authentic.
A few people put it together and found that although Shen Cha is not very intolerant of spicy food, there are also non-spicy dishes with a good reputation. Some of them are very popular among children in Xijing and are just in line with Shen Cha's taste. Since it is a newly opened restaurant, everyone decided to go there to support it. Bai Meng thought that if this restaurant lived up to its reputation, he could bring Song Jue and Song Jinyu to try it out in a few days.
After leaving Dali Temple, we walked east for a while and saw the newly opened Shu-style restaurant. Because it was dinner time, the lobby was already overcrowded. Not only that, there are many diners queuing up outside, waiting to be seated. It is said that this situation has been going on for nearly half a month since the restaurant opened.
"Guests!" The waiter in charge of greeting diners at the door saw Shen Haolin and the others and came over with a smile on his face, "You..."
"Are there any private rooms and private rooms available?" Merlin interrupted the waiter, looked at the noisy situation in the lobby, and frowned slightly, "It should be quieter."
"You guys are here just in time, there is still the last box." As soon as the waiter saw these people, he knew they were not easy to deal with, so he quickly led them up to the third floor and into the first box. "Excuse me, please. This is the menu of the small shop. Once you have chosen it, just call it small."
"No need." Bai Meng glanced briefly and picked out seven or eight special dishes. "That's it. Hurry up."
The waiter responded, took the menu card and walked out of the private room door, and hurried downstairs to the kitchen to place an order.
"The business of the newly opened restaurant is still very prosperous. It turns out that there are so many people in Xijing City who like spicy food." Song Qiyun yawned, looked at Shen Cha and then at Shen Haolin, "Will you bring Chi Er to trial later? "
"No." Shen Haolin shook his head gently, "Before we interrogate the second master of Chi, we must first go to Prince Dai's Mansion and ask Uncle Ning what kind of existence Chi Ge was in Prince Ning's Mansion."
"Why?" Song Qiyun was puzzled, "Isn't he just the teacher?"
"Not necessarily!" Shen Cha shook his head gently, "You all heard just now that Mr. Chi Ge's plan is to resign as the dean after the completion of this subject and go to Yancheng to retire. Logically speaking, his ancestral home is Jiangnan should be retiring from old age and returning to his hometown, that is, returning to where he came from, right? However, he chose to go to Yancheng. Why do you think this is because? "
"Is... to allow the siblings to recognize each other and reunite their relatives?" Song Qiyun frowned slightly, "It's quite strange. Chi Da and Chi Er are both his biological sons, but he was particularly sad about this adopted son. , as if this adopted son is his biological son, this... doesn't make sense!"
"It really doesn't make sense. The reason why he is so sad, we suspect..." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Someone said something to him, which made him tempted and had other thoughts."
"What kind of thoughts?"
"It's hard to say for now. We have to ask Uncle Ning to be sure." Shen Cha touched his chin, "This case is getting more and more interesting. Let's see what we can find out at the end!"
