Chapter 129: Changing the Court
When the long line of people beat and beat, four large sedan chairs were escorted back to Caijia Lane, the deafening sound of firecrackers kept ringing like porridge.
There are also lion dancing, stilts walking on the street, and amid the sound of gongs and drums, the entire Caijia Lane has become a sea of joy.
The sedan chair stopped at the Dashi Bridge. The four of them opened the curtain and saw three long paths made of yellow paper leading to the alley where the taste was so fresh.
"This is called "Lianlong Yellow Armor!" Yu Jiachang said with an excited red light: "The juren walked on yellow paper, and the Jinshi was ahead!"
"This is a good start." Zhao Shouzheng jumped out of the sedan chair and landed steadily on the yellow paper. While bowing to the neighbors, he was cautious and afraid of breaking into the air.
Although Eryang disagreed with this simple folk custom, it was difficult to refuse his affection. Besides, who doesn’t want to make a good fortune? He smiled and bowed his hands while walking towards the alley with Master.
At this time, Fan Datong brought a basin of scattered silver, and Zhao Hao grabbed it one by one and threw it to the neighbors who were congratulating.
The neighbors cheered and scrambled, and this joyful scene was something that had never been seen in Caijiaxiang.
Others always give money to others, but when Zhao Hao comes, they spend money. The reputation of the richest man in Caijiaxiang has completely spread.
The closer you get to your home, the more dense the firecrackers become.
As the smoke filled the air, Zhao Hao saw a group of people standing at the gate of his yard with sticks.
If it weren't for seeing the uncle and son among them, he would have thought he would have encountered something wrong.
However, since Zhao Shouye went to Qian’s house to find the place last time, he has been staying out of the door and pretending to die at home. At this moment, he can finally see the light of day again!
Zhao Shouye has been fat and strong for several months. He looked at his brothers with a blushing face and raised his axe and slashed hard on the threshold of his brothers' house!
"All of them are smashed!" Seeing that the Zhao family's uncle took the lead in, the rest of the people also brought sticks in, smashing the doors and windows that Zhao Hao had only been replaced for several months...
"What is this he meow?" Zhao Hao was anxious. It was all earned by his hard-earned money.
"Don't worry, young master, all the things in the house have been moved out in advance. This is the routine." Yu Jiachang grabbed Zhao Hao and said with a smile: "If you pass the imperial examination, you will be a wealthy official. You will naturally have to change your family. The neighbors will work together to help you clean it and then replace it with a new one..."
"I'm new." Zhao Hao said softly. Although he was generous, he had a special relationship with the nest he had built in the first place.
"Uh... the material is not good enough, we'll replace it with mahogany..." Yu Jiachang hurriedly smiled and comforted him.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang. The Zhao family's uncle was overly excited and swung his hammer and slammed it on the wall, and actually made a big hole directly.
Seeing that the wall was so rotten, Tang Youde shouted: "How can Master Juren live in such a broken place? He smashed it! He smashed it all and rebuilt it!"
Everyone was also in high spirits, so they swung their hammers and greeted the walls. Most of the people who demolished the walls were tilers from Caijia Lane. They broke down the walls in just a few seconds, and then shouted the horns and tried hard together, and they pushed the three main rooms where Zhao Hao and his son had lived for more than half a year and were pushed down in the dust in the sky...
"Okay, everyone is happy..." Seeing that it was like this, Zhao Hao had nothing to say.
After enough trouble, ninety-nine tables of flowing mats were set up in Caijia Lane.
For three consecutive days, any guests who come to congratulate can sit down and have a drink.
This time, not only did the chefs and friends come out all the way, but also invited chefs from three large restaurants from the banks of the Qinhuai River to help.
Wang Fugui, the No. 2 catering giant on this street, was very hurt. But after tasting the dishes made by others, he obediently shut up, treats himself as an ordinary diner, and eats and drinks.
The neighbors in Caijiaxiang and citizens near several streets all came all over the place. Not only did the three juren become the focus of the stars, but even Zhao Hao was surrounded by a group of gentry and asked him what teaching secrets he had and why he could train two juren at once...
Zhao Hao was dissatisfied and said, "It's actually three of you...
On the surface, he said it was his elder brother's credit. But people thought he wanted to hide his own personal information, but he still refused to let him go and insisted on teaching him some secrets.
Being forced to do nothing, Zhao Hao had to say: "Uh, let them do more housework..."
"Hi..." Everyone was disappointed when they heard this, thinking that it seemed that Mr. Zhao did not intend to disclose the secret.
Little did he know that Zhao Hao himself couldn't figure it out either.
It is said that Wang Wuyang and Hua Shuyang should not be so high in the provincial examination, and he did not give them any questions, but why did they win the first two?
After thinking about it, Zhao Hao could only sum it up in hindsight that he should have bullied them too much, which made them sluggish their arrogance and no longer impetuous. He also used the knowledge of later generations to hang them, and made them work hard again driven by their desire for knowledge. As a result, they were promoted inside and outside...
'Thinking of this, I am really a good teacher.' Zhao Hao couldn't help but proudly greeted himself with a glass of juice.
In the room, Zhao Shouzheng got drunk with a cup on the left and the cup on the right. He sat there and suddenly started crying.
The gentleman who was drinking beside him hurriedly asked, "Why did Mr. Zhao cry on a big happy day?"
"I remember my old man." Zhao Shouzheng burst into tears and said with a deep voice: "I don't know where he is. If he could see his unsatisfactory son, he would finally have a future!"
"Brother, don't worry." Zhao Shouye accompanied him to wipe his tears and said, "I have already thought about it and asked Zhao Xian to take people back to his hometown to search. If you can't find your hometown, you will find it all over the world. You must find him back..."
"Okay..." Zhao Shouzheng looked at his brother with tears in his eyes: "I hope the old man is not as good as he is..."
"Puff..." At a banquet in the distance, an old man with a deep brimming hat and facing his back to his brothers in the Zhao family spewed out a long distance.
The noble lady who was still charming on the side hurriedly took out a veil to help the old man wipe the corner of his mouth.
"The two brothers were drunk and said nothing, so don't take it seriously..."
The old man turned out to be Zhao Liben, who could not be found all over the world with the Zhao brothers.
Although he has to be ruthless and ignore his descendants.
But how could Zhao Liben sit still today when he rewrites the fate of his family? He quietly returned to Nanjing, disguised himself with Ye, and mixed up among the crowd at the banquet, looking at his children and grandchildren from afar.
Zhao Liben waved his hand and said he didn't care. At this time, he lost his usual toughness and brushed his eyes happily and said, "It's true that the misfortune is the basis of good fortune. The ancients really did not deceive me."
Ye asked softly, "Since you are so happy, why don't you show up and have fun together?"
Zhao Liben shook his head flatly and said, "The more you are, the more you should calm down. Just wait for them in Jiangbei."
After saying that, he raised his glass and took a slight sway towards Zhao Shouzheng, then drank it all, and left quietly with Ye.
