Chapter 208 Qi Tianlin reunites with his father, the emperor and his mother (2)
There was a man and a woman standing in the aisle at the moment. Even though they were middle-aged, it did not affect their outstanding looks.
When Qi Tianlin saw those two faces that showed some signs of aging but looked almost the same as when they were young, his eyes immediately turned red.
A strong feeling of bitterness and joy surged in his heart, making his chest uncomfortable.
After a month, a whole month of waiting, his parents finally found him.
This is also the first time I have seen my mother in ten years.
But for my father, it has been more than fourteen years.
Fortunately, time has not been too cruel to his parents, so their faces are not much different from what he remembers.
Qi Tianlin came out, hugged his mother, and choked up:
"Mother...I finally get to see you and father."
The queen mother hugged him tightly, crying uncontrollably.
Father Qi looked at his wife and children hugging each other, and his eyes were red with joy...

Qi Tianlin brought his parents back to his wife's home.
After getting off the car at the gate of the villa, Qi's mother took a look at the villa and asked:
"This is my daughter-in-law's home, right?"
Qi Tianlin smiled in surprise:
"Mother, how do you know?"
Father Qi said with a doting look:
"Tian Lin, you don't know that in order to meet you, your mother and I have already found out everything about you and your in-laws through the revelations on the Internet."
"As I dug deeper, I found out that your father-in-law and mother-in-law not only know your mother and I, but they are also living in the modern world with us."
On the way back, Qi Tianlin told his parents about his experiences over the past few months.
Including how he met his wife Jiayu, how he came to the modern era, what Jiayu did, and how Daqi was unified.
He told his parents everything, no matter how big or small.
Now that he heard his parents mention that they had already found out everything about him and his wife's family, he couldn't help but ask:
"Father, Mother, Dr. Hui said that you have been staying in the modern world since you were sent away by the time machine, and the same is true for my father-in-law and mother-in-law. You are both in the modern world, and you have contact information. How come you don't know that each other is in the modern world?"
"And you guys don't seem to be away from the Internet, so how come a month has passed before you discovered the existence of the child?"
Just as Qi's mother was about to explain, Zhou's mother came over.
"Uncle, you are back."
Seeing two more men and women who looked like her uncle in the house, Zhou Ma said:
"Uncle, is this your brother or sister?"
In appearance, Qi Tianlin's parents look more like siblings when standing together.
So when Zhou Ma saw Qi's father and mother, she thought they were her brother-in-law's parents.
Qi Tianlin introduced:
"Auntie Zhou, these are my parents."
Zhou Ma was immediately shocked:
"Parents? Uncle, are your parents so young?"
Just like the master and his wife, they look very young, and when they stand with the young lady and the young master, they don't look like parents and children, but more like brothers and sisters.
It seems that rich people all take care of themselves, unlike her. She is only 37 or 38 years old, younger than the master and his wife, but she looks like a woman in her 60s.
Qi's father and mother looked at each other and smiled.
Mother Qi thanked Mother Zhou in a gentle voice:
"Thank you, sister. You are really good at talking."
Qi Tianlin introduced to his parents:
"Father, mother, this is Aunt Zhou, who has watched Yu'er and her brother grow up since they were young."
Then he told Zhou Ma:
"Auntie Zhou, my parents will be staying here from now on. Please help them clean up a guest room later."
Aunt Zhou nodded: "Okay, son-in-law, I will go and notify the chef to prepare lunch."
Qi Tianlin: "Okay."
After Zhou Ma left, Qi Tianlin signaled to his parents:
"Father, Mother, let's go in first. I'm sure you're hungry. We can talk in detail after lunch."

Jiayu left the palace at dawn and toured the capital of Dajin accompanied by Mingyan and Anmo.
When she woke up this morning, she thought about it and decided to take a look at the overall environment of the capital of Dajin before deciding which management plan to implement.
Qi Tianlin originally planned to unify the local systems in Daqi to facilitate management.
But she felt that the original management systems of Dajin, Beilin, and Gaos were different from those of Daqi. Would it be a mess if they were replaced all at once?
Later, she had a sudden idea and decided to list Dajin, Beilin, and Gaos as the three special administrative regions of Daqi.
These three places can continue to use the original court system, but they must obey the Daqi court.
In this way, people's livelihood will not be affected by the sudden unification of the system.
Of course, she also got this idea from the modern system of their country, so she decided to use it in Da Qi.
Last night she had a new idea. She thought that dividing Dajin into two cities was too big after all. Splitting it up would weaken the power of many parties.
But after thinking about it in the morning, she still felt that her original plan was feasible.
Daqi Tiancheng is the center, and the other three cities are merged into Daqi as local areas.
Local controls are different, but there must be only one monarch!
After strolling around for most of the day, Jiayu and others found an inn to have lunch.
They basically ate at the same table along the way, and Mingyan and Anmo were used to it, so in the inn, they naturally sat at the same table with their queen.
The waiter came forward and greeted:
"My three guests, what would you like to eat?"
Jiayu said, "Let's try some of your restaurant's signature dishes."
Waiter: "Okay, would you like some wine?"
Jiayu: "No, just a bowl of clear soup will do."
"Okay, sir. Please wait a moment."
After the waiter left, Jiayu took a look at the surrounding environment.
At noon, there were many guests eating in the inn.
Almost all the dining tables here are full of people.
In this unintentional glance, Jiayu discovered a familiar white shadow.
Although the woman in white was facing away from her at the moment, she could still associate her back with someone.
Jiayu thought of the woman in white whom he saw in the village next to Zhoujia Village a month ago.
She didn't know that the woman in white was named Bai Yu, and was mistaken by Shangguan Fei for the Queen.
Like Jiayu, Bai Yu now has only two guards around him.
She and her guard were waiting for the food to be served.
Today she wore a conical hat with a layer of white gauze over it.
A face in the white sand appears vaguely.
Jiayu withdrew his gaze, took out his mobile phone out of boredom and started playing a single-player game.
Mingyan and Anmo have become accustomed to her habit.
At first they were indeed surprised by such a small gadget as a mobile phone, but after seeing the Empress playing with it for a long time, they were no longer so curious.
The main thing is that they have no place to play even if they want to.
At this time, a grandfather and grandson came in from outside.
The old man's hair and beard are white, and he is using a cane. It is obvious that he is old and has difficulty walking.
The old man’s granddaughter is a young girl, holding a pipa in one hand and a erhu in the other.
The grandfather and grandson were invited by the inn to play the pipa to entertain the guests.
The grandfather and grandson walked to the place where the talent show was held, one sat on a high stool, and the other sat cross-legged on a blanket next to the stool.
After the old grandfather took the erhu, he and his granddaughter quickly started performing.
The pleasant and soothing music echoed in the inn.
Although it is not as exciting as modern music, it can make the listeners feel calm.
Soon, most of the song was over.
The guests who were eating had no objections and instead enjoyed listening to the talk.
As a result, an uninvited guest broke the atmosphere here.
A young man in elegant clothes came in, followed by a group of his men.
The visitor is the son of an official.
This second-generation official was quite arrogant and looked down on everyone. As soon as he came in, he angrily scolded the grandfather and grandson:
"Stop, stop, stop. What a crap song you're playing. It's so boring. Change it."
"If the next song doesn't suit my taste, you will have to compensate me for my injured ears."
After that, the second-generation official walked to the counter and knocked on the table, threatening the shopkeeper:
"Have you paid this month's protection fee? Do you want to close the store?"
The old shopkeeper said anxiously:
"Mr. Zhao, we paid it. We paid it at the beginning of the month. It was your men who came to pick it up in person."
Master Zhao turned around and looked at his men, asking:
"is not it?"
His men all shook their heads and spread their hands, saying no.
Jiayu was watching this scene and bit her lower lip unhappily.
The scenes in the TV series are still very realistic. In ancient times, there really were such phenomena of taking advantage of power to bully others and collecting protection fees indiscriminately.
Mr. Zhao turned around and looked at the old shopkeeper, spreading his hands:
"Look, they all said they didn't come to get it. Hurry up and take out the protection money."
How could the old shopkeeper not see that Master Zhao and his men were playing the bad cop and the good cop respectively, and were deliberately refusing to admit their debts?
He was anxious and helpless, and begged humbly:
"Mr. Zhao, our inn has paid taxes and there is not much left. Please, please let our inn go this month?"
Young Master Zhao narrowed his eyes, his gaze fierce:
"You mean, I have wronged you?"
The old shopkeeper was so frightened that he quickly shook his head.
Mr. Zhao raised his drooping mouth corners and smiled happily:
"That's right. How could I wrongly accuse you of something that didn't happen?"
"Okay, I'm in a hurry to get to the next store, so take out the money."
The old shopkeeper was worried that if he really offended Mr. Zhao, not only would he lose his shop, but he and his workers might also meet with accidents. Although he was extremely reluctant to pay protection money again, he still prepared the money for the sake of his shop and his personal safety.
When the old shopkeeper opened the drawer to take out the money, the grandfather and grandson had already changed the song.
My grandfather's hands trembled due to his old age, which caused a very harsh sound.
After hearing this, Master Zhao subconsciously covered one of his ears with his fingers, and then cast an extremely displeased and murderous look at the grandfather and grandson.
He cursed angrily:
"Are you looking for death? Why are you here to show off your skills if you can't play the guitar?"
The grandfather and grandson were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy humbly.
Mr. Zhao showed no mercy and demanded compensation for the losses:
"My ears are already deaf, tell me, how are you going to compensate me for my losses?"
The old man trembled and said:
"Sir, we didn't do this on purpose. Please give us another chance?"
"We haven't opened yet today, so we don't have the money to compensate you, young master."
Mr. Zhao's men said viciously:
"If you don't have the silver, you don't have to pay?"
Young Master Zhao noticed that the old man's granddaughter was young and pretty, so he had evil thoughts.
He wiped the corner of his mouth playfully and smiled evilly:
"You old fool, give me your granddaughter as compensation, and I will forgive you this time."
These words frightened the grandfather and grandson so much that their faces turned pale.
The girl was so scared that she hid behind her grandfather.
The old man kept kowtowing and begging:
"No, Mr. Zhao, my granddaughter is still young and doesn't know anything. We will compensate you for your loss when we earn money."
Mr. Zhao had a casual and cold expression:
"No, I need compensation today. If you can't pay, use your granddaughter to pay off the debt!"
Having said this, Master Zhao raised his chin to his men.
The men understood and forcibly dragged the girl away.
The girl held onto her grandfather's hand, crying desperately and begging for help. Her voice was still very childish:
"Grandpa, save me, Grandpa~"
The old man tried his best to hold on to his granddaughter's hand, but his strength was no match for Master Zhao's men, and his granddaughter was dragged out.
Jiayu couldn't bear it anymore and was about to slam the table and stand up to speak.
But Bai Yu got there first.
"stop!"
Bai Yu slammed the table, stood up, drew his sword and pointed it at Master Zhao.
The pair of red lips in the white veil curled up coldly:
"Let them go, or I will kill you now."
When Master Zhao's men saw Bai Yu drawing his sword, they immediately surrounded him to protect their master's safety and pointed their weapons at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu's two guards also stepped forward to protect her.
Master Zhao saw through the translucent white gauze that the woman in white who stood out was a great beauty. He wiped the corner of his mouth playfully, revealing his lustful face to the fullest.
"Oh, my beautiful lady, do you also want to spend your wedding night with me tonight?"
"Okay, I want both of you tonight."
Bai Yu's voice was so cold that there was no warmth at all:
"I asked you to let them go, are you deaf?"
After Mr. Zhao took a look at the grandfather and grandson, he curled his lips:
"You can ask me to let them go, but you can play a song for that sister."
"As long as you play it, I will let them go. Otherwise, you and your sister will accompany me tonight."
One of Bai Yu's guards came close to her and whispered:
"Miss, this is someone else's territory. We should not intervene."
Bai Yu: "Don't worry, I'll kill him and leave. With our kung fu, they won't be able to catch up with us."
The guard reminded: "But if we leave, these people will make the grandfather and grandson pay with their lives. If we don't save them, they may still be able to save their lives."
The guard's words woke Bai Yu up.
She slowly put the sword down.
Thinking that she had compromised, Master Zhao laughed triumphantly.
"My beauty, I told you not to push yourself too far, but now you're getting yourself into trouble?"
"If you hadn't come forward, I wouldn't have discovered you. But you came to me on your own."
"Sister, the young master asked you to play a song in exchange for letting the young lady go. Sister, you are proficient in playing all kinds of musical instruments, so just show off your ugliness for a while."
Jiayu walked towards Baiyu at this time, took Baiyu's hand tenderly, and spoke in a tender voice.
Bai Yu seemed like her real sister, and she took Bai Yu's arm very naturally.
Anyone who heard Jiayu's voice felt as if their bones were broken.
Bai Yu turned his head and saw that it was the woman who drove a huge vehicle to the village to pick someone up that night. He was stunned.
I thought to myself, “It’s her!”
With Jiayu's appearance, everyone else pales in comparison in Mr. Zhao's eyes.
Seeing Jiayu's face, he wiped the saliva that almost slipped down the corner of his mouth, pushed away the men blocking him, and walked towards Jiayu.
"Oh, so they are a pair of sisters. Very good, very good."
Jiayu asked Mr. Zhao in a tender voice:
"Did the young master let my sister go because she played a piece of music?"
Mr. Zhao was already completely fascinated by Jiayu, and said infatuatedly:
"Of course!"
"Then Sir, you must keep your word. If you don't keep your word, I will kill all your clans."
Jiayu used the most gentle voice and tone to say the cruelest words.
At this point, Jiayu leaned close to Baiyu and whispered:
"Go ahead girl, play a song."
Bai Yu lowered his voice, his tone was awkward:
"Girl, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't play the erhu and pipa."
Jiayu said with a confident tone:
"It's okay, just pretend, and leave the rest to me. I have a way to amaze the girl."
