Zhao Hao was talking to his uncle without saying a word. Zhao Xian sat silently aside, not saying anything.

In Zhao Hao's impression, after the family suffered a disaster, he became taciturn. But he could not say three words in an afternoon.

Looking at Zhao Shouye again, he had already told him that his father was in prison in the Imperial College and could not get home until dark, but he insisted on waiting for Zhao Shouzheng to come back.

If it is said that it is a deep brotherly love, why is he always absent-minded?

Zhao Hao watched Zhao Shouye twisting his butt irritably, and was really worried that he would break the bench.

He felt the atmosphere was a little weird, so he asked directly: "Uncle has something to tell me the same way."

Zhao Shouye looked at him, his lips twitched a few times, and shook his head and said, "Let's wait for your father to come back."

"Sure, let's make do with dinner here." Zhao Hao looked at the dim sky and said to go to buy vegetables, escaping the environment that made him extremely tormented.

After leaving home, he went to the high-speed blacksmith first, chatted for a while, and ate some fried pumpkin seeds for a while. He asked Zhao Shouzheng to come back soon, and then he slowly went to the tavern on the street to buy some meat dishes and make two kilograms of soy wine. He also brought one to the high-speed blacksmith's family.

While he was pushing the high-speed blacksmith, he saw Zhao Shouzheng carrying a cloth book bag and hurried into the alley while it was not dark.

"Father." Zhao Hao took advantage of the situation to get rid of the high-speed blacksmith and followed Zhao Shouzheng.

"Hey, son." Zhao Shouzheng was overjoyed when he saw the wine and meat he was holding. He grabbed the bag under his armpit and reached out to tear a chicken leg to fill his hunger. "I starve to death as my father!"

"Don't, my uncle is here." Zhao Hao hurriedly moved away.

"Is that so? He still has a conscience, and he has never forgotten my younger brother." Zhao Shouzheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He ran into the yard excitedly regardless of his hunger.

After all, the two brothers came out of the womb and lived in the same house for more than 30 years. The relationship between blood and water cannot be faked.

Zhao Shouye and Zhao Xian were in the yard, waiting around and not seeing Zhao Hao come back.

"Father, my brother is afraid he's hiding out." Zhao Xian said with a grudge: "Why don't we go back."

"How do you go back? Will there be good fruits to eat when you go back?" Zhao Shouye was depressed and vomited out turbid air, stood up and rubbed his painful buttocks.

"Brother, why don't you say it in advance? I'm waiting for you at home!"

At this time, Zhao Shouzheng happily walked into the yard.

Zhao Shouye then breathed a little relieved and said with a smirk: "Passing by, I just started to think about it, and I came over empty-handed..."

"Brother, why are you polite? Hurry, Zhao Xian helps Zhao Hao set the table, your father and I want a good drink."

Zhao Shouzheng was in high spirits, but he didn't notice his big brother's abnormality. Of course, even if he was not in high spirits, he probably couldn't see his eyebrows and eyes.

Candles were lit in the house and vegetables were arranged on the table. The four of Zhao family sat down to eat and drink.

"Come on, this is also the first time we have a reunion. Let's have a drink together!"

Seeing that this guy not only broke the precepts, but also wanted to pull him up, Zhao Hao rolled his eyes secretly, but said nothing.

Zhao Shouzheng poured wine for his brother, picked up the wine glass and smiled brightly.

The more he did this, the more gloomy Zhao Shouye was. He barely drank a few drinks with Zhao Shouzheng, and he wanted to speak but stopped several times.

Zhao Hao disliked his uncle's unruly appearance, so he took the lead and said, "Father, uncle has been waiting for you for an afternoon. If you ask him what he is doing, he will not tell me every family."

"Brother is here to see you. My family is now in charge of Zhao Hao. Just tell him if you have anything to do. I won't make any decision." Zhao Shouzheng's face turned pink and he had not yet figured out the situation.

"Is that true?" Zhao Shouye looked at Zhao Hao in surprise, and then looked at his brother enviously. Before, he always felt that Zhao Shouzheng was heartless, and knew that it was ready to eat, which was ridiculous, but now he envied him.

"Oh, brother, then I'll just say it..."

After a while, Zhao Shouye calmed down and sighed: "I am now under the roof and I have to bow my head. If you say something, don't blame me."

"Didn't the elder brother say it straight? Why did it get around again?" Zhao Shouzheng finally felt the elder brother's heavy weight and frowned at him.

"Oh, it's really hard to say, it's embarrassing to grandma's house." Zhao Shouye did not dare to look at his brother, and said in a whisper, "You know that kind of guy, your sister-in-law. She actually asked me to ask for the money I gave you before. I didn't agree. She had been arguing for several times and said that if she didn't take the money back today, she would go to her father-in-law to judge."

"Brother, I can't straighten my waist when I live under someone else's roof. I can't let the old Zhao family be completely embarrassed in front of my father-in-law, right?" Zhao Shouye looked at his younger brother with a shy face and said, "I know you are more difficult than me. I don't want to speak to you unless I have to. But I beg my grandpa to borrow a lot, and I only borrowed ten taels of silver."

"Huh?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but exclaim.

"My father secretly stuffed twenty taels to grandpa." Zhao Xian, who was standing beside him, said with tears in his eyes and choked: "My mother is going to get it back together."

"It's unreasonable, it's outrageous?" Zhao Shouzheng was furious when he heard this, threw the wine glass on the ground, and spat fiercely: "Why is my sister-in-law so hard for my brother to do? It's fine to ask me for money, but he didn't even let go of the money for the old man?"

"The Qian family is so rich. Does she really care about these ten or twenty taels?" Zhao Shouye took a bitter sip of wine and said: "It's not the bad things that made her always hold a grudge? The old man has repeatedly slapped her over the years, and now she has the opportunity to vent her anger..."

"It was her Qian family who was cheating before that time, not only did she cheat her brother, but she also caused her father to have a bad career!" Zhao Shouzheng had a red face and a thick neck, and he was very stunning to argue with Qian.

Of course, he wouldn't really go. It's hard to explain the scholar's reason to meet a soldier, let alone meet a shrew...

"Oh..." Zhao Shouye sighed long: "So many years have passed, and I almost forgot. I didn't expect that she would still hold grudges."

"It's true that the most toxic woman's heart is. This woman can't be married!" Zhao Shouzheng slapped the table heavily and said to Zhao Hao: "Son, let's change another wine glass for your father."

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes secretly, there were only four wine glasses in total, where would you find one for you?

Then he pushed his unswept wine glass in front of his father.

Zhao Shouzheng drank a few more cups of wine with his brother, and said in empathy: "I was also turned away a while ago. Unexpectedly, my elder brother was like me."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but curl his lips and said that Mr. Zhao would not tell himself...

But even he didn't expect that his uncle, a sixth-rank official, would have done so miserably even though he was a noble official with no status.

His father and son moved out of Nancheng and stayed away from the right and wrong circle of Nanjing. He could no longer feel the impact of the old man's dismissal.

But Zhao Shouye is still an official, and is in the whirlpool. These days, he has suffered from cold eyes from his superiors and colleagues, and he feels painful.

"Oh, our old Zhao family is not as good as a chicken. The people who have stepped on it now have grievances and those who have revenge." Zhao Shouye leaned his neck and drank a sip of wine, wiped a bitter tears and said, "The people who have helped them have all avoided me."

"Brother, don't be discouraged!" Zhao Shouzheng snatched the wine pot from his brother's hand and said angrily: "You are the hope of our old Zhao family! I wonder if my father was also a poor scholar back then? Now you are still a sixth-rank official, why are you so unwilling to be so ambitious?"

Zhao Shouye kept shaking his head.

"A man is poor and ambition is short, and a horse is thin and a long hair. I don't have the ambition of you anymore. Now I'm just silly living..."

Seeing that his brother was as weak as eggplant, he was so wilted that he was completely distant, Zhao Shouzheng's eyes turned red and he burst into tears.

Zhao Hao couldn't stand Zhao Shouzheng like this, so he sighed in his heart, got up and gave his father a wink.
