Chapter One Hundred and Thirty After the Autumn Settlement
In the next few days, Zhao Hao and his family could only temporarily live in their uncle's house.
Zhao Shouye got thousands of taels of silver from the Qian family, and the family became richer and rented the largest and best three-entry courtyard in Caijiaxiang. In the past few months, only his three people lived in it with a few maids and servants, and Zhao Hao and his family moved in without much trouble.
Zhao Shouye was naturally very happy that Zhao Hao could move here. He was now afraid that his nephew, the head of the Zhao family, would be separated from his family, so he would do his best to make people serve him carefully.
But when Qiaoqiao was gone, she was by her side to take care of her daily life and diet. Zhao Hao felt very uncomfortable. However, she was just here to help. Now that my uncle has a special servant to serve her, how can she keep her behind?
For several days, Zhao Shouzheng and Eryang were busy attending the Luming Banquet held in Yingtian Mansion, and there were all kinds of unstoppable banquets. Zhao Hao was not idle either. As a noble family, so many relatives and friends came out of nowhere to congratulate and give gifts. Although the uncle and son were willing to greet him, as the representative of Zhao Shouzheng, he could not escape the leisure.
Until that afternoon, Zhao Hao finally had half a day of leisure, and asked someone to raise a recliner and burn the sun in the yard.
After enjoying for a while, he lazily picked up the four letters on the small table and took them apart.
These four letters are quite famous, namely the two fourth-rank officials, Suzhou Prefect and Changzhou Prefect, as well as the literary leader Wang Shizhen and Taishi Hua. The four letters are similar, and they are all thanks to him for his cultivation of Eryang. I hope he can continue to encourage and teach them, let them continue to work hard and strive for another success in the coming year.
In addition, he was asked to allow them to return to their hometowns, attend the deer banquet held by various prefectures, and worship ancestors, and warmly invited him to visit.
Zhao Hao didn't care about these enthusiastic words. After all, they were all polite words and they would lose. Moreover, he didn't plan to go to the appointment. At that time, he would call a group of old men, and the old man would be embarrassed and he would be awkward.
After making up his mind, Zhao Hao picked up his pen and wrote a reply. He asked Gao Wu to prepare two generous gifts.
When it was dark, King Wuyang and Hua Shuyang came back, Zhao Hao distributed four letters and two generous gifts to the two and said, "I'm urging my family to hurry up. You can go back to your hometown tomorrow."
"Master, we don't plan to go back." Eryang said in unison: "Those flattering flattering styles have already heard of it. Let's stay in Nanjing to learn from Master."
"No, you should go back." Zhao Hao thought to himself, I'm not ready yet, why should I give you a lecture?
Eryang was stunned when he heard this. Wang Wuyang immediately asked, "Master, is this also a kind of practice?"
"Uh, that's right." Zhao Hao thought to himself, what do you mean by this? But now he is very clear about the brain-stimulating ability of the two high disciples, and knows that these two extremely smart guys can easily understand the principles of succession.
"It's true!" Hua Shuyang also looked excited and thought: "The master asked us to sweep the courtyard and serve tea and water to soothe our hearts by letting us endure hardships. Now let us go home to enjoy glory and flattery, to see if we can be ashamed of honor and disgrace, and to maintain a peaceful heart no matter what the situation is!"
"Well said it." Zhao Hao nodded. He could teach ten students in one breath and would not be tired.
"It seems that we have been complacent again these days. Master believes that our state of mind is not suitable for receiving sacred knowledge..." Wang Wuyang also reflected from the side and said sadly: "Sure enough, our practice is far from home..."
"Okay, just know." Zhao Hao waved his hand and asked the two of them to stop. Otherwise, if they could keep thinking about it, they would not finish it even at dawn.
"That master, when will we go to class?" Eryang Baba looked at Zhao Hao.
"Let's come back to find me when you calm down." Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said, "You will wait for you here."
After saying that, he quickly sent away two apprentices who were about to go crazy. If he pretended, he would vomit himself...
The next day, Zhao Hao and his son sent Eryang onto the official ship to Gusu.
The ship was specially sent by Suzhou Prefecture to pick them up. There were no less than 40 servants from the two families on the ship, so naturally there was no need for Zhao Hao to worry about it.
On the way back, Zhao Shouzheng saw the carriage coming to Hubu Street and couldn't help asking: "Son, didn't he say that he would help his father get the jade pendant after passing the imperial examination?"
"Yes, why would you come here?" Zhao Hao smiled and took out two tickets from his sleeve, dusted them with his slender fingers, "Today, not only will he have to get the jade pendant back, but he also has to let the person named Zhang eat our Zhao family, and spit out all the money and profits!"
"Oh? Really?" Zhao Shouzheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but he was confused and confused: "That Brother Zhang Shi is not easy to mess with. Although I have passed the imperial examination, I still can't suppress him. I wonder what good ideas my son has?"
"Father just watch the show." Zhao Hao made trouble. The day to settle the score after autumn has finally come. For this day, he has been waiting for too long.
"Then the relationship is good." Zhao Shouzheng nodded happily, and letting him perform like he did last time, not only was he tired, but he also lost his identity as a juren.
While speaking, the carriage stopped steadily at Dehengdang's door.
This time, Zhao Hao and his son did not get off the car, and only let Gao Wu go in and report.
With virtue and knowledge, he naturally knew that the father and son were no longer the same as before. They opened the most popular Weijixian restaurant in Jinling City and made a big profit through the raw silk business. Even Liu Zhengqi, the second-ranked Dongting Merchant, was cheated by the Zhao boy!
Now the Zhao family's net worth is probably 50,000 taels higher.
What’s even more nonsense is that the ten thousand-year-old student Zhao Shouzheng actually became a juren!
Moreover, the Zhao boy became the first two teachers in this year's provincial examination, stealing the limelight of the examiner.
It is said that his two students are not small, one is a child of the Wang family in Taicang and the other is a son of the Hua family in Wuxi...
Who would have thought that the Zhao family, who had been sentenced to death by everyone, had stood up again in just half a year!
This made Zhang Yuanwai regret it. He was a little serious about Zhao Shouzheng at the beginning.
Fortunately, it was a big help to their family last time... In Zhang Yuanwai's opinion, the 2,500 taels he lent to Zhao Shouzheng was definitely the capital for the Zhao family to make a new fortune.
He was relieved after he wanted to come. He was about to prepare a generous gift. He came to visit him recently, but he heard from the client that the Zhao family father and son came to him.
After a while, Mr. Zhang and Chaofeng went out to greet each other with a spring breeze on their faces.
Mr. Zhang bowed deeply to Zhao Shouzheng, and smiled and said, "You are here to visit your fellow countrymen. The shop is so full of glory. Come and use tea inside!"
Zhao Shouzheng said intently that you are afraid you won’t laugh later. Although he couldn’t figure out his son’s plan, he already knew Zhao Hao’s methods very well. He knew that this kid would not take action, and he would eat people tightly as soon as he took action...
