In the evening, Zhao Shouzheng went home and rummaged through the cabinets and opened them.

"What is my father looking for? He doesn't even eat." Zhao Hao stood at the door and asked strangely.

"I didn't look for anything..." Zhao Shouzheng was about to make excuses, but then he thought that his son had already known about it, so he said embarrassedly: "I used to be a jade pendant as a ticket last time. It will be here soon. I'm going to redeem it."

"I've put it away as the ticket." Zhao Hao coughed lightly, telling him not to work in vain.

"Oh, my son is just a convenience." Zhao Shouzheng was overjoyed and reached out and said, "Give it up quickly."

Zhao Hao nodded, turned around and went to his bookshelf, and took out one from the Analects of Confucius as a ticket.

It was Zhao Shouzheng's picture.

"I have to redeem it quickly. I'm afraid I'll have to pay two taels of interest if I'm late." Zhao Shouzheng is also very careful now and feels that he has grown a lot.

"Father can't be redeemed." Zhao Hao shook his head and told Zhao Shouzheng the conversation he heard that day. He also pointed out the tricks in the ticket.

"It's really outrageous! Anyone who runs a pawnshop can kill you!"

Zhao Shouzheng was so angry that his forehead was leaping with blue veins, and he wanted to tear it off as a ticket.

Zhao Hao hurriedly took it as a ticket and reminded with a smile: "Didn't my father ruin him 2,500 taels?"

"Oh, right..." Zhao Shouzheng immediately subsided and said, "I felt uneasy at the time, but now I just want to spend more money!"

"Where is this?" Zhao Hao carefully folded the ticket as a ticket, and said confidently: "The big head is still behind! My father works hard and doesn't have to worry about this anymore. Sooner or later, the person named Zhang will kneel in front of you, beg you to accept the jade pendant."

As he said that, he slapped the table with a palm and gritted his teeth and said, "The person named Zhang has criticized me for not only ten thousand taels of gold for the Zhao family? I have to let him spit it out!"

"My son said this, and I will wait and see for my father."

Zhao Shouzheng repeatedly told him not to forget about the jade pendant.

It seems that in my father's heart, the jade pendant has very important significance...

In the next few days, Zhao Shouzheng, under Zhao Jin's supervision, started dancing with the chicken every day, working hard in the morning and evening, regardless of wind and rain, and sitting on prison on time... He seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of life, and of course, it is inevitable to complain a few words to his son.

Whenever this is the case, Zhao Hao will listen patiently, just to relieve the pressure of the candidates.

As for Zhao Jin, although he repeatedly reminded himself to keep calm, he still couldn't avoid being irritated all day long after the order was completed. This made Zhao Shouzheng and the busy people in the restaurant. Zhao Hao had to comfort everyone all day long, and let them take care of the Zhao father-in-law who was worried about gains and losses...

Gao Wu also helped Wu Yu and his wife find their residence, which was actually the small courtyard that Zhao Jinkong came out. This feeling of changing birds with a cage really made everyone laugh and cry.

However, Wu Yu and Si Ya couple were very diligent and cleaned up the yard in a few days, which made Zhao Jin even wonder if this was the doghouse he lived in.

With this capable couple helping in the store, Gao Wu, Yu Peng, and a group of strong men in Caijiaxiang came to help when they were free, and the preparations for the restaurant were getting closer. By the end of the month, everything was ready, and it was just a good day.

"Have you decided on your day?" Qiaoqiao sat by the well, cutting off the branches of the yellow loquats, and said casually to Zhao Hao beside him.

After half a month, she has lost her restraint as before, and the two have gotten much more harmonious with each other.

At the end of March, Nanjing was already a little summery at noon. The moisture was strong and people sweated as soon as they moved. Mr. Zhao, who was not very moved, stayed at home more and more. At most, he went to the restaurant in front of the front door to take a nap and read books every day. He would not be too carefree.

"How could I read the almanac..." Zhao Hao leaned lazily on the recliner, flipping through a thick almanac and said, "Why don't you decide?"

"If my father and the others heard you, they wouldn't be angry." Qiaoqiao washed and peeled the loquats one by one, put them in a white porcelain plate, and brought them to the steak next to Zhao Hao's chair. "So many people are waiting, please settle down quickly, don't be too slow."

Zhao Hao picked up a ripe loquat and put it into his mouth. He felt extremely sweet and full of salivation.

This made him find such a happy feeling in Zhao's mansion.

It’s just that no one feeds him, so it’s still not enough to enjoy it. But he probably dares to make this request, so Qiaoqiao dares to beat him up.

Just as I was talking to Qiaoqiao, a strange cry came from outside the courtyard wall.

"Nephew, I'm back!"

That man is tall and tempting. Who else is he who is not Fan Datong?

"My nephew is really good at enjoying it." Fan Datong walked in with sweat on his face, kept fanning the wind with paper, and complained: "This ghost weather has not rained a few times until the beginning of spring, and it is so hot that I am so hot."

He sat beside Zhao Hao, picked up the teacup and took a few bites, then pinched the loquats into his mouth. In a blink of an eye, he wiped out all the ripe fruits...

It naturally caused Qiao Qiao to roll her eyes. However, Fan Datong was thick-skinned and didn't care at all.

"Uncle Shi sent the letter?" Zhao Hao did not dislike Fan Datong. He was used to this guy being shameless. Moreover, he found that Fan Datong was not useless. At least he used to do errands, but he was much more convenient than Gao Wu, who was stupid in his mouth.

"Of course." Fan Datong boasted proudly: "Where are the famous prostitutes in Qinhuai River that I don't know? Everyone is very familiar with..."

"I heard that it costs fifty taels of money to board the boat..." Zhao Hao said Youyou.

"I just brag about this hobby, but my nephew always squeezed me..." Fan Datong was speechless. The famous prostitute in Qinhuai River was not something he could touch. Even when he had family resources, it was an existence that he could not reach.

"Talk the serious business." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Don't add more materials."

"Oh, okay, it's all without adding any additional information..." Fan Datong's recent meal was all about Zhao Hao, so he naturally did whatever he wanted. "Yesterday I asked along the Qinhuai River and found Ma Xianglan, whom I nephew said, and gave her your letter."

"How did she reply?" Zhao Hao asked.

"After reading the letter, she actually agreed immediately, saying that she would explain it in the next two days and that she would arrive early the next morning." Fan Datong said incrediblely: "That's the top ten priests in the Qinhuai River! People like them are the most reserved. They don't have three visits to the cottage, eight carrying large sedan chairs, and ten kinds of good gifts, they will never be invited."

In fact, Zhao Hao had no confidence, so he would definitely invite Ma Xianglan to come out. He just wrote a letter to invite him with the idea of ​​giving up if he didn't succeed.

Unexpectedly, she actually agreed.

To put it bluntly, the Qing Gongren is like the Hanlin Shujishi in the court.

When Shujishi was a Hanlin scholar, he had to maintain his own status and be willing to be poor. This is called "raising hope" and laying a solid foundation for joining the cabinet in the future. At this stage, once he did some price reduction, it would greatly affect his future future and would definitely not be worth the loss.

The same is true for the Qing Gongren. If you only look at money and do some price reduction at this stage, you will inevitably be underestimated by your peers and encompassers. You will soon lose your appeal and will no longer be able to maintain your noble character and not your own...

But Ma Xianglan actually agreed to come to this dilapidated Caijia Lane to act as a mere psychic maker who just opened a small restaurant. This is not just a self-destruction of his own value?
