The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 51 Mind’s Eyes

When Zhao Tong came to this world, he had never seen anyone from his grandma's family. Although he knew the purpose of these two uncles, he still had an unexplainable urge to see them immediately. This feeling may be due to the blood connection.

relationship, or maybe she was grateful for the fact that her grandfather and her family had always taken care of her after she left the palace.

Zhao Tan went to the front hall after changing clothes. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zheng Shou, the third steward, accompanying two people to have tea with him in the small living room. He thought they were his two biological uncles. "Zhun'er pays homage to the two uncles!" Zhao Zi didn't wait.

Xiao Huangmen reported, stepped forward and grabbed two steps to salute.

"How could I receive such a courtesy from the prince!" One of them quickly stood up and supported Zhao Tong and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is Zheng Xi, the second son of the Duke of Guo, who is also your second uncle!" Zheng Shou knew that Zhao Tong didn't know them, so he quickly introduced them one by one, "That is Zheng Yu, the sixth son of the Duke of Guo.

Uncle!"

Listening to Zheng Shou's introduction, Zhao Xi looked at the two people. Zheng Xi looked in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, fair complexion, and regular facial features. He was wearing a robe made of Shu brocade, with a gold belt tied around his waist.

Hanging with a silver fish bag, a jade ring, and a Japanese white jade fracture fan in his hand, he looked like a son of an official. Although Zheng Yu behind him was also wearing a brocade robe, a quick glance showed that the materials and workmanship were poor.

He has a lot of weight, and his waist is just a rhinoceros belt inlaid with jade pieces. His face is pretty, but slightly gloomy. Those who don't know the situation will definitely think of him as the second son's follower.

"Your Majesty seems to be in good health. Your grandparents are always worried when they mention it. Now that they know you are well, they will definitely be happy. This time they found out that you were crowned prince, so they immediately prepared a congratulatory gift and asked me to send it to you!" Zheng Xi smiled with a smile on his face.

said.

"I miss my grandpa and grandma. It's just that my second uncle doesn't want to be with the prince. The prince's call makes the whole family seem to be separated. Uncle, don't you think so?"

"Oh, then forgive me for being disrespectful and call me Zong'er!" Zheng Xi rushed to answer before Zheng Yu could speak.

The three of them sat down again. They were not familiar with each other when they met, so Zhao Tong asked the two elders in the family how they were doing, how they were doing, how their other uncles and aunts were, and what their brothers, sisters, and younger brothers were doing. After chatting for a while, they slowly

Slowly, the relationship started to get warmer. Zheng Xi was very talkative. He could tell everything about the affairs in the court and the rumors in the market. There was no big or small thing in the capital that he didn't know. Zheng Yu, on the other hand, only occasionally interjected a few words.

They only asked about Zhao Tong's health and studies. Most of the time, he just drank tea and listened to what they said.

In the evening, Zhao Tong held a banquet in honor of his two uncles. During the dinner, only Huang Jingchen and the three stewards of the mansion were present. After the meal, he cleaned up the two guest rooms and arranged for them to stay. No one mentioned the soju. The next day, Zhao Tong

Tao accompanied them to wine, dinner, and visits to the mansion, and it was still the same on the third day.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the two Zheng Xi brothers had breakfast and were waiting to continue to visit the palace with the prince. A small yellow doorman came over and told them that the prince had gone to play on the construction site of building the river embankment today and let them do what they wanted. "Lao Liu, you asked.

Is it Zheng Fu?" No matter how big the Zhao mansion is, we have walked around it in two days. Besides, the repairs at home are much better than this, and they have no interest in wandering around alone. Zheng Xi asked about the business.

"I asked my second brother, and he said he didn't know anything about it!" Zheng Yu poured a cup of tea for Zheng Xi and replied carefully.

"This bitch, our Zheng family has raised him for so many years, and now he has learned to play tricks with us!" Zheng Xi slammed the table and said angrily, "You too, won't he ask others if he doesn't tell you?

?”

"I asked, and they all said they didn't know such a thing happened." Zheng Yu looked at the sullen second brother and lowered his head and said.

"What?! I don't even know that these treacherous people are just feeding unfamiliar wolf cubs!" Most of the big and small stewards in the mansion and the nursing home servants used to be from the Zheng mansion, but now they are all from the same family.

I don’t know what to ask, so it’s no wonder Zheng Xi was angry.

"Second brother, don't be angry. This shochu is a secret. It's normal for these people not to know!" Zheng Yu advised.

"Fart, Zhan'er is only eight years old. What does he know? He is not the chief of Zheng Fu and the others. If they don't know about such an important matter, who will believe it!" Zheng Xi shouted with anger in his nose.

"Second brother, don't forget, the chief manager in this mansion is not one of us. He was sent from the palace. Maybe only he knows about this matter." Zheng Yu said in a low voice.

"Oh, didn't Zheng Quan say that it was a servant in the mansion who knew how to make shochu? Could it be that he was from the inner court? This is impossible." Zheng Xi shook his head and said, he originally thought that everyone in the Zhao mansion was from the Duke's mansion.

, I just need to come in person, find out that person, and can complete this simple task with a little operation, but now these people don't know what kind of medicine they took, and they don't buy it for their 'old master', they push back and forth without saying a word.

To be honest, he didn't believe that anyone in the palace knew how to make wine.

"Second brother, why don't we talk to Tong'er directly and see what conditions they will offer?" Zheng Yu suggested.

"Tong'er is a child, and we don't know the great benefits yet. If we tell him, will it be so easy to find him?" Zheng Xi scolded him with a look that said you are stupid.

"Second brother, didn't father tell us to run a joint venture with the palace? You did this?" Zheng Yu said as if he didn't see it.

"Stop talking, I have my own plan. If you call Zheng Fu over tonight, just say I'll invite him!" Zheng Xi said with a ferocious look on his face as he tossed down his sleeves.

Zheng Yu was shocked and understood what his second brother was thinking. Did he want to keep it all to himself? He opened his mouth but swallowed back his words of persuasion. He turned around and went out to look for someone, but he didn't have much hope for it. In the past two days, he had been talking to the original manor.

He met several old people here, but he felt that although these people still missed their old friendship, they were not as enthusiastic as before. They expressed admiration for the new owner in their words. He could tell that these words of praise were not because they were trying to climb up.

Climb a high branch, but respect from the bottom of my heart.

Zhao Tong didn't see them for several days in a row. He still boxed and practiced martial arts every day, read and grew vegetables. He seemed to have forgotten the existence of his two uncles. "Jianxi, what have the two uncles been doing these past two days?" He raised his eyebrows.

Erlang Legs asked. In his previous life as a soldier, he had developed the habit of understanding the situation before making a decision. Cooperation matters were of course no exception.

"Second Master, Uncle Er Guo invites several stewards to eat and drink every day, asking about soju. The chief steward and the second steward are afraid of being questioned by him. They soak on the river embankment every day and don't dare to go back to the house. The third steward hides.

I can't open it, so I can only cope with it, but I think I can't stand it anymore!" Jian Xi said with a smile, "Uncle Liu Guo is quite at ease. He is either reading or walking around every day. Except for the first few days after he came here, he didn't do anything.

I’ve looked for someone in the mansion!”

"Well, he hasn't given up yet. You won't be bribed by him, right?" Zhao Tong nodded, suddenly turned around and asked.

"Second Master, I have the conscience of heaven and earth. I have never said a word in front of him about the soju. If I lie, there will be five thunders from heaven!" Jian Xi swore, pointing to the sky and the earth with a smile.

"Okay, stop pretending, are you tired?" Zhao Tong rolled his eyes at him and said helplessly, this kid is becoming more and more "unruly", "Have you found out their details?"

"Second Master, don't worry when I attend to the wedding. I asked some old people in the Duke's Mansion to find out. The eldest uncle and the second eldest uncle are both descendants of the wife, but the eldest uncle is indifferent by nature and doesn't like business affairs.

, so the business in the Duke's palace is taken care of by Uncle Er Guo. However, it is said that he is headstrong and likes to bully others. Everyone just gives him a little favor for the sake of the empress, but it makes him even more proud; Uncle Liu Guo is the Duke's.

I am a concubine who studied poetry and literature for several years, but failed repeatedly. The year before last, I was admitted to Jinshi, but was not awarded an official. Now I am in charge of two wine shops in Beijing. I am kind and benevolent, and my reputation is not bad!"

Listening to Jian Xi's reply, Zhao Xi also figured out that Zheng Xi was the second eldest son and had no hope of becoming a prince. Although he was in charge of the family's property, it was all within kilometers. He had selfish motives when he came out this time.

I want to take this opportunity to get the recipe for making soju and leave a way out for myself. After the separation of the house, I can still start a new business and live a good life.

"Money and silk touch people's hearts. For the sake of money, even my nephew is trying to trick me!" This kind of thing where I was forced to jump off a building for money and my mother was living on the street. Zhao Tong had seen it in his previous life. He didn't expect such a thing to happen in ancient times.

It will also happen around you.

"Second Master, that kid has evil intentions. I think we should just send him away!" Jian Xi noticed Zhao Tong's dissatisfaction. Uncle Guo immediately turned into that kid. His uncle castrated him and sent him to the palace.

, so I don’t like ‘uncle’ very much.

"They are unkind, we can't be unjust. Even if we don't care about my mother, I still want to save some face for them because of my grandpa's care for me. But I can't let my second uncle take charge of this matter. Please accompany me to meet them."

!" Zhao Tong said with a sigh, ending the inspection period of the two people. He knew in his heart that the reason why his grandfather sent his two sons to discuss this matter was to let him choose one of the two. They said that a son is as good as his father, so why didn't the old man treat him the best?

Going to test.

After Jian Xi heard the order, he immediately sent someone to deliver the message, but the only person who came was Zheng Yu. It turned out that Zheng Xi tried his best for several days, but could not get anything useful out of the mouths of several stewards.

, he was so angry that he took his two followers to Yingtian Mansion to relax. How did he know that in the entire palace, the only ones who knew how to make shochu were Zhao Tong and Jian Xi, and you couldn't find out the others even if you killed him, just to play with him

Zheng Xi's calculations were wrong.
