"Master Hou."
Zhou Chen nodded and was about to get in the car, but at this moment, someone suddenly walked over quickly.
"Master Zhou, please stay."
Zhou Chen paused in his steps and looked at the person walking up with stern eyes. This person was dressed like an official. He was in his forties and walked very steadily.
"Who are you?"
"Greetings to Lord Zhou. I am a domestic slave of Prime Minister Xiao. I have followed the order of Prime Minister Xiao and come to invite Lord Zhou to have a talk."
"Mr. Xiao, want to talk to me? I remember that I don't seem to be that familiar with Mr. Xiao, and besides, Mr. Ke is my mentor."
Uncle Zhong, Xiao Qinyan's housekeeper, still said calmly: "I just followed the order of the Prime Minister. As for why the Prime Minister wanted to meet the Marquis, it is not something that a villain can know. Please forgive me, Lord Hou."
crime."
Zhou Chen did not answer immediately, but started thinking quickly, trying to guess what Xiao Qinyan meant.
But it only took a few breaths, and he quickly responded.
"Okay, lead the way."
"Master Zhou, please." Uncle Zhong immediately respectfully led the way for Zhou Chen.
As soon as Zhou Chen took steps, Qin Yi nervously chased after him and whispered: "Master Hou, be careful of fraud."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Is there a fraud? How can a person as smart as Mr. Xiao be cheating? You and Zhou Huai are following behind."
After saying that, he started again, and their conversation was heard by Uncle Zhong, but he had no expression at all, just like a robot.
Soon, Zhou Chen was taken into a carriage, and then the carriage started to move and walked for about a quarter of an hour before stopping.
As soon as Zhou Chen got out of the car, Uncle Zhong pointed to the gate of the house in front of him and said, "This is the residence of our Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is waiting for you inside. Lord Zhou, please."
Zhou Chenyi was brave and asked Qin Yi and Zhou Huai to wait outside. He followed Uncle Zhong into the house alone.
Under the leadership of Uncle Zhong from the official family, Zhou Chen came to the main hall of the courtyard, and then saw that a banquet had been set up in the hall, but there was only one person sitting there.
Before he could speak, the man stood up first and laughed.
"The arrival of the Duke of Zhou really makes the humble house shine, hahaha..."
Zhou Chen bowed his hand politely: "I have met Mr. Xiao, but I didn't expect that my first meeting with Mr. Xiao after many years would be here."
Xiao Qinyan was also a famous figure many years ago, and Zhou Chen also met him, but their status was very different at that time, and they had never spoken or communicated.
Therefore, this meeting can be regarded as the first real meeting.
Xiao Qinyan came over very enthusiastically and held Zhou Chen's hand, with a very nice attitude.
"I think back on those days, I knew Brother Zhou very well, and I admired Brother Zhou even more. It's a pity that I didn't get to see Brother Zhou for the last time. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."
Xiao Qinyan had a sad look on his face. People who didn't know it might think that he had a close relationship with Mr. Zhou. In fact, they were not familiar at all.
"But Brother Zhou must be very happy to have a son like you, Mr. Hou."
"Prime Minister Xiao is serious. My father would be very happy if he knew that Prime Minister Xiao was so sad."
Zhou Chen also started complimenting each other. He didn't know why Xiao Qinyan came to him today, but he was not in a hurry and would remain unchanged in the face of changes.
Xiao Qinyan put away his sad expression and enthusiastically pulled Zhou Chen to the table.
"Master Zhou, please sit down."
"You don't have to be like this, Prime Minister, just call me Zi Heng."
Zi Heng is Zhou Chen's cousin, but almost no one calls him by that name.
Xiao Qinyan laughed and said: "Okay, then I'll ask you to call me Zi Heng. Zi Heng, you don't have to call me that. If you don't mind, just call me uncle."
Zhou Chen said: "Then it's better for me to be respectful than to obey my orders, Uncle Xiao."
"Okay, okay." Xiao Qinyan looked very happy.
"Actually, when I first came to Tokyo, I really wanted to see you Zi Heng. Unfortunately, I never had the chance. Today I finally got my wish. Zi Heng will have a few more drinks with me later.
