    Zhao Shao and Wang Qi chatted, but most of the time, it was Zhao Shao who told interesting and embarrassing things about Zhao Yuyan when he was a child.  In her words, she naturally revealed her doting on Zhao Yuyan.

    Wang Qi listened carefully and echoed from time to time.

    Wang Qi was filled with admiration in his heart.

    Zhao Shao is not simple.

    From the beginning to the end, Zhao Shao never mentioned the matters in the court, not even a little bit, or even made insinuations.  It is precisely this that shows that Zhao Shao is not simple and has great patience.

    Half an hour later, Zhao Yuyan entered first.  She smiled and said: "Father, brother, the food is ready. Now, you can eat."

    Zhao Shao stood up and said, "Let's eat, I happen to be hungry too."

    Following Zhao Shao¡¯s instructions, Zhao Shao¡¯s wife and son all came out of their respective courtyards and sat down in the dining room.

    Everyone sat down and the dishes were presented one after another.  Most of the dishes of this era were steamed and boiled. There was no mention of stir-fry dishes for the time being, and there was no wok for cooking in later generations.

    Even so, Wang Qi could smell the food.

    It can be seen that Zhao Yuyan¡¯s level is good.

    Besides, the wine is also good.

    Although the taste of this wine is not comparable to Wuliangye.  At least the Zhao family's wine should be brewed by themselves, and the quality is not bad.

    When the wine enters the cup, the aroma of the wine fills the air.

    As the family sat together, Wang Qi sighed inwardly that the Zhao family's family tradition was different.

    When eating in this era, women generally did not serve at the table or attend, but ate by themselves in the kitchen.  In addition, it is rare to have the atmosphere of later generations, where the whole family sits together to eat.

    The Zhao family is like this.

    As the head of the family, Zhao Shao raised his glass and toasted to Wang Qi in person, saying that he hoped Wang Qi and Zhao Yuyan could live in harmony and that the relationship between the Wang family and the Zhao family could be further improved.

    After finishing speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.

    Wang Qi also smiled, drank, and said some official words.

    The rest of the Zhao family, such as Zhao Yuyan's mother and brother, all spoke, not much, just hoping that Wang Qi and Zhao Yuyan would live a good life.

    After a family banquet, the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

    Wang Qi thinks it¡¯s good. Regardless of Zhao Shao¡¯s previous intention of marrying the Wang family, Wang Qi still appreciates Zhao Shao¡¯s character.  Especially during this period, Wang Qi looked through the information of all court officials and also saw Zhao Shao's information.

    Zhao Shao¡¯s official reputation, character, and virtue were good. In the court, although he belonged to the Qi King¡¯s faction, he had a good relationship with some officials in the East Palace.  Although he is loyal to King Qi, he has his own political opinions and persistence.

    Zhao Shao acted fairly.

    Everybody knows this.

    After the banquet, Zhao Shao called Wang Qi to the study alone.

    The two of them took their seats.

    At this time, Wang Qi clearly felt that the atmosphere had become different, and Zhao Shao probably had something to say.

    Zhao Shao never said anything before.

    This is when we got to the point.

    Zhao Shao's eyes fell on Wang Qi and asked: "Wang Qi, you and Yuyan met today. This meeting is different from the last meeting. What do you think of Yuyan?"

    Wang Qi chuckled and said: "Miss Zhao has a straightforward temperament and is an outspoken person. And she is versatile and very good."

    Zhao Shao asked: "Seriously?"

    Wang Qidao: "Of course it is true."

    Zhao Shao's face gradually became solemn and he said: "My dear nephew, it stands to reason that you and girl Yuyan are already engaged, so I shouldn't interfere too much. But I still want to say, are you really willing to marry girl Yuyan?"

    "Although I am the Minister of Household Affairs, I also hope that the Zhao family will get better and better, but that is not the case. I need to force my daughter to marry in order to enhance the influence of the Zhao family."

    "If you are willing, I have nothing to say. I am happy to see what happens. If you are not willing, our two families can get together and part ways, and we can still keep in touch."

    "My dear nephew, do you think so?"

    Zhao Shao said: "Everything depends on what my nephew says. In this life, you have to see the right eye in order to live a good life. Only in this way will you not regret it."

    Wang Qidao: "I think Yuyan is pretty good, there's nothing wrong with her."

    He just ignored what Zhao Shao said.  If Zhao Shao was really thoughtful, he would not tell him now, but would tell him directly when he saw him.  Zhao Shao first let Wang Qi meet Zhao Yuyan, then let the two get along, and also listedAll kinds of good things about Yuyan.

    It is clear that the purpose is to promote the relationship between the two.

    Now it¡¯s time to test it out.

    The most important thing is that Wang Qi has his own opinions on his marriage.  If Wang Qi wants to get married, he must be able to control the other person and cannot let himself be led around.

    Zhao Yuyan has a straightforward personality and is easy to communicate with, which is quite good.  If someone else comes, it may not be what it is now, and it may not be as good as Zhao Yuyan, so Wang Qi is willing to give it a try.

    Zhao Shao was completely relaxed after hearing Wang Qi's words.  What he just said was purely a test. He wanted to hear what Wang Qi said and see Wang Qi's attitude.

    After Zhao Shao finished speaking, he changed the topic and said solemnly: "My dear nephew, I will not interfere with your marriage to this girl Yuyan. After all, our old Zhao family is different from other families."

    "Besides, I don't treat you as an outsider. So I don't care about your coming to Chang'an, your dealing with King Qi, or even your temporary use of the prince's power to deal with King Qi."

    ¡°I¡¯m here, you don¡¯t have to worry.¡±

    Zhao Shao said: "When you do things, you don't have to feel any constraints just because I am on King Qi's side. In short, you can do whatever you want."

    Wang Qi¡¯s brows rose, somewhat surprised.

    You must know that the marriage between Zhao Shao and the Wang family in the early years was because Zhao Shao had ideas and ambitions, wanted to win over foreign aid, and had his own strength, so the marriage was promoted.

    These words are different.

    Wang Qi was thinking a lot, and with a calm expression on his face, he said, "Thank you, uncle, for your understanding."

    Zhao Shao said: "But when you are in Chang'an, you still have to be cautious and don't be careless. In addition, I have some personal opinions about your future development, which is just a family opinion."

    At this time, Zhao Shao¡¯s expression was even more serious.

    Wang Qi said: "I would like to hear the details."

    He also wanted to hear what suggestions Zhao Shao had.  After all, listening to both will make things clearer and believing more will make things darker. There is no harm in listening more to other people's analysis.

    At least, it can provide Wang Qi with ideas.

    Zhao Shao pondered for a moment and then said: "In today's Great Zhou Dynasty, the local people are displaced, the state pastor is in power, and the power of the court is constantly weakening. This is a sign of chaos in the country."

    "On this occasion, there are still princes in the court who are fighting for their heirs. Even the officials in the court have to rely on one faction in order to survive."

    "With such a court situation, I don't recommend you to stay in Chang'an."

    "Today's Chang'an is a whirlpool."

    Zhao Shao said: "So in a place like this, even if you win, it won't be of much use."

    Wang Qi pondered in his mind and asked, "What does uncle think I should do?"

    Zhao Shao said: "What you have to do is to take two paths. First, use the many things happening in Chang'an to become famous, lay your foundation, and make you a leader of the younger generation and a leader."

    "Second, after achieving this goal, look for opportunities to serve as an official. Although you have never had an official position, with your reputation, you can be directly assigned to a place and serve as the magistrate of a county."

    "As for you entering Chang'an, it depends on the hostage, and it actually depends on what the emperor thinks."

    "If the emperor values ??you, nothing will be a problem. If you gain the emperor's respect, you will have the opportunity to serve as an official."

    Zhao Shao sighed with emotion: "In troubled times, only by controlling one party can you control the power and have a foothold. As for the battle in the court, it will not end in a short time."

    "In the imperial court, seniority is also important. You need to go through qualifications."

    "So in troubled times, you go to the local government to serve. Once the world changes, you can make contributions. If the local government is in chaos, you can calm down the chaos and get promoted when the time comes."

    Zhao Shao said: "This is my suggestion. You should look for opportunities to serve as an official."

    Wang Qi thought about it after hearing it.

    Zhao Shao¡¯s analysis is a train of thought.

    In the peaceful and prosperous times, it is natural to gild the center and gain seniority. This is the fastest promotion.  But in troubled times, staying in the center is more dangerous, because the battles are fierce.

    By serving as an official, you can constantly eliminate bandits and build meritorious deeds.

    This is the fastest way.

    The most important thing is that in troubled times, you are most stable if you have soldiers and food.

    Wang Qi nodded and said: "I understand uncle's analysis. But does uncle really conclude that the world will be in chaos?"

    He has sharp eyes.

    The look in his eyes is more inquisitive.

    Zhao Shao made him feel like a wise man.  Although Zhao Shao's martial arts skills were not as good as Wang Zongxi's, even far behind, Zhao Shao gave Wang Qi the feeling of being extremely wise.

    Therefore, Wang Qi is even more curious.
