Chapter 180: Getting up so early in the morning?
Chapter 180: Getting up so early in the morning?
Ye Peng had resented his father, but after the truth came out, the resentment in his heart gradually dissipated a little. Looking at Shangguan Zhenhua, whose hair had turned gray, Ye Peng pursed his lips and finally called out, "Dad."
He had kept the word "Dad" in his heart for a long time. After he called it out, he felt so wronged: "Dad!"
He yelled again.
Shangguan Zhenhua was immediately overjoyed, laughing till tears welled up in his eyes, and kept responding: "Hey, hey, hey, hey! Daddy is here, Daddy won't lose you again, I'm sorry, Ruolin, I'm sorry, Ruolin, Daddy's Ruolin, you finally recognized me!"
Shangguan Zhenhua rushed over and gave Ye Peng a big bear hug.
Ye Peng felt the warmth given by his father, as if he had returned to his childhood.
Suddenly, Shangguan Zhenhua lifted him up.
Ye Peng's face changed drastically: "Put me down, you old bastard, put me down, don't force me to beat you up!"
"Son, stop making trouble. Let daddy lift you up high. You loved being lifted up high when you were a kid!" Shangguan Zhenhua not only did not let go, but lifted Ye Peng even higher.
Ye Peng's old face was burning with anger.
His son, daughter and son-in-law are still watching here. The old man has embarrassed him!
Ye Tang and the other two were laughing so hard that they were bent over.
"Hahaha, Dad is lifted up high, hahaha, oh my, I am so happy that I can see Dad being lifted up high in my lifetime, hahaha!" Ye Ping'an laughed the most unbridled.
Ye Tang shouted, "Grandfather, lift it higher. Yes, yes, yes, it would be best if it could fly. My dad is not afraid of heights!"
Shangguan Zhenhua actually lifted Ye Peng and climbed onto the table.
Ye Peng held his head and screamed: "No!!!"
......
Ye Tang was very happy that his father and grandfather finally reconciled. After dinner, he told Ye Pingan that he wanted to open a shop with him.
"I've asked the housekeeper. Shops in the capital are very expensive. It's not cost-effective to buy a shop, and it's even more difficult to buy a restaurant. The good locations are all occupied. Ping An and I want to open a store, so we can only rent a shop first." Ye Tang expressed his thoughts.
"It's also possible to rent a shop. Try it out first to understand the preferences of the people in Beijing. It won't be too late to buy a shop later."
She brought so much stock, she should be able to make a lot of money opening a hot pot restaurant. The weather is not yet hot, and hot pot is very popular.
"Why rent a shop? We have a ready-made shop at home. It's quite big, but the location is not very good." When the children wanted to do business, Shangguan Zhenhua supported them wholeheartedly and did not look down on businessmen at all.
The children work hard to earn money and prove their abilities, and he must support them in their ambition.
"Do we have a shop at home? You don't know how to do business, so where does the shop come from?" Ye Tang asked puzzledly.
My grandfather said that he was often away from home fighting, and all the rewards he received were handed over to his trusted subordinates to manage. Most of the money used by the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion came from the rewards and salaries my grandfather received. He had no other private property, only two farms and a summer resort.
Shangguan Zhenhua explained: "Grandfather didn't know how to do business, but your grandfather liked to pick fights with people. When competing with others, I would gamble a little. I won that shop by fighting with Qiao Huaizhi."
Ye Tang blinked: "Qiao's shop?"
Shangguan Zhenhua nodded: "It's called a shop, but it's actually about the same size as a restaurant, except that this shop only has one floor, unlike those big restaurants, which have two floors. If you two really want to do business, Grandfather will give you the shop, and you can use it for whatever you want. Such a big shop is enough to open a big tavern. Tangtang can make so many delicious dishes, and any one of them can be so fragrant that it can confuse those people in the capital."
Ye Tang said, "Grandfather really wants to give the shop to Ping An and me? Actually, we can buy it."
Shangguan Zhenhua glared at her and said, "What are you buying? You treat your grandfather as an outsider! Your father has forgiven your grandfather, but you still treat him as an outsider. It makes me so angry. What's wrong with me giving a shop to my granddaughter and grandson? Is it not okay? If I don't give you the shop, it will be ruined..."
"Grandfather, don't get excited. I was wrong. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said the word 'buy'."
Ye Tang deeply realized his mistake and comforted Shangguan Zhenhua in time.
Shangguan Zhenhua said seriously, "Child, don't be so distant with grandpa. We are a family. Besides the shop, if you want money, you can also ask grandpa. Grandpa has been fighting in the wars all those years. The emperor has rewarded grandpa with many good things. You can go to the warehouse with grandpa to pick them out later."
"Grandfather will take you to see that shop tomorrow."
"If it's suitable, use it. If it's not suitable, buy another shop. Why rent a shop? It's not like you don't have money!"
Shangguan Zhenhua is very generous towards his children and grandchildren.
Ye Tang could see that her grandfather was trying his best to make it up to her father.
"Okay, we will listen to grandfather and not be polite to him, right, Dad?" Ye Tang looked at Ye Peng.
Ye Peng snorted: "Why are you being polite to the old man? This is my home and I am the prince. Let's go to the warehouse tomorrow and take all the good stuff!"
Shangguan Zhenhua laughed happily: "Yes, yes, that's right, that's how it should be, take all the good stuff, hahahaha!!!"
The family was immersed in laughter and joy, unaware that some rumors were gradually spreading outside.
The court session was to begin at the hour of Mao the next day, so Shangguan Zhenhua got up before dawn to prepare, and in the process woke up Xiao Jingxuan as well.
"Do I have to get up so early every time I go to court?" Xiao Jingxuan looked at the dark night and felt it was so scary. His head was dizzy because of the fear of getting up early.
In the countryside, people don’t get up so early to do farm work.
Oh, no, when I first started making tofu, I also had to get up this early.
Ah!
terrible!
Ye Tang was lying on the bed, yawning with a dazed look in his eyes: "Grandfather said that the morning court session starts at 1:00 a.m., and the ministers will be waiting at the Meridian Gate at 1:00 a.m., so we have to get up early. Yawn, I'll continue to sleep, you can find clothes to wear and make your own food, you can come back to eat after the court session, bear with it, it's only for one day..."
Xiao Jingxuan's face was full of pain: "After becoming a prince, do I have to attend the morning court like my grandfather?"
There were many morning court sessions, not just one. It was a nightmare.
Ye Tang waved his hand: "I don't know, you have to ask the emperor, or you can ask grandfather."
Jamel Xiao really wanted to take a nap, but Shangguan Zhenhua was already outside urging him.
Fortunately, the person urging him outside was Shangguan Zhenhua. If it were those people from the Xiao clan, he would have beaten them up and fed them some medicine.
Ahhh! It’s so annoying!
Xiao Jingxuan walked out full of resentment and followed Shangguan Zhenhua into the carriage.
"You didn't sleep well. Young people should exercise more. Sleeping too much will make you lazier. Get up early and exercise with me in the future." Shangguan Zhenhua comforted Xiao Jamel Xiao in the car.
Jamel Xiao covered his chest and said, “My heart is not good. I will faint if I exercise too much. Please forgive me, grandfather!”
Shangguan Zhenhua's face darkened, and his fists clenched and made a cracking sound. "When your father wanted to sleep in, he also fooled me like this. You are a good boy, but you can do this without learning. You really are father and son. Woo woo woo, my granddaughter is so miserable. She actually married a lazy person like you. Woo woo woo..."
Shangguan Zhenhua beat his chest in grief.
Jamel Xiao: “…???”
So the methods he is using now are what his father left over?
When they arrived at the Meridian Gate, Xiao Jingxuan was sitting in the carriage, his face as pale as paper.
I’m so sleepy, so sleepy, really so sleepy!
Along the way, his grandfather kept whining, not letting him sleep, and talked about a lot of bad things his father had done.
