- Early the next morning, after the five people had finished their porridge, Zhao Liben scolded Zhao Shouye again:
"You prodigal son, you should save some money! Now you, I, don't even have the means to pay for my return home. Are you asking me to beg for food all the way back?!"
Zhao Shouye knew that he was in the wrong and kept silent.
Zhao Liben finished scolding the eldest son, but saw that the second eldest son and his son were dressed neatly and seemed to be going out.
"Why are you going?" Zhao Liben said angrily: "Are you going to run away now?"
"Father misunderstood." Zhao Shou hurriedly explained: My father and son are going to visit the two father-in-laws to raise some money for father and ask about their livelihood. "
Zhao Shouye perked up as soon as he heard this. He waved his watery loofah pulp and said, "Okay, borrow more. Your in-laws have a net worth of tens or even millions. If you slip a little bit between your fingers, it's enough for our family to go to this place." It¡¯s stuck.¡±
Zhao Shouzheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I mean too."
"Go." Although Zhao Liben didn't stop him, he didn't have any expectations. He sat lazily under the wall and basked in the sun.
With the old man¡¯s permission, the father and son walked through the courtyards and walked towards the main entrance of the house.
The two of them cheered each other up as they walked.
"Son, the so-called heaven will confer a great responsibility on this person, he must first work hard and work hard. From today on, we must put aside the indifferent face." Zhao Shouzheng looked at Zhao Hao uneasily, although his son agreed Although he accepted the proposal of having a soft meal, he was still worried about his son's young master's temper and could not bear the grievance.
"My child's family is fine, of course. As long as the father can live with it." Zhao Hao said with an indifferent expression.
"Then I'll be relieved. You don't have to worry about me." Zhao Shouzheng said, patting his chest, "I'm not boasting about my father. I've been living at home for thirty-six years, and my face has been trained to be invulnerable to fire and water."
"Then let's set off!" Zhao Hao nodded heavily.
"We're going!"
The father and son faced the rising sun and pushed open the closed door with high spirits.
But he almost bumped into someone.
Since the incident happened in the Zhao family, the house has been deserted. Unexpectedly, two guests came to visit us early in the morning today.
¡°Oh, it¡¯s actually my father-in-law and his in-laws who came hand in hand. It¡¯s true that a friend in need is a friend indeed!¡±
Zhao Shouzheng took a closer look and couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that now he would not have to come to ask for help.
It was the first time for Zhao Hao to see these two people. He saw that one of them was thin, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face. He looked older than Zhao Liben. He should be his father's future father-in-law, the dignified Imperial Academy Master Zhou.
The other man, who is in his forties, well-maintained and looks like a wealthy man, is naturally his future father-in-law, Liu Yuanwai, the vice president of the Suzhou Dongting Chamber of Commerce.
As the saying goes, you have to be humble when asking for help. Zhao Hao obediently followed his father and saluted his two father-in-law.
Both of their sedans were parked far away on the street, and they didn¡¯t even bring any entourage, as if they didn¡¯t want anyone to see them.
They smiled awkwardly, and member Liu said outside: "Go in and talk."
"Okay." Zhao Shouzheng and his son hurriedly moved out of the way and welcomed them into the house politely.
??~~
?????????????? Back room.
Zhao Liben was still leaning against the wall to bask in the sun.
Seeing his son welcoming the two in-laws in, he stood up slowly and said with a smile: "There is no place to sit in the house, so let's bask in the sun on the patio."
"It's easy to talk, it's rare to have a sunny day today." Zhou Jijiu cupped his hands towards Zhao Liben and said, "My lord, you have suffered."
Liu Yuanwai is a junior and not an official, so naturally everything focuses on Zhou Jijiu.
At this time, Zhao Hao and Zhao Xian moved two dirty benches and a shaky broken square table and placed them in the patio. Zhao Shouzheng found another brick and put it under the table legs so that things could be placed on the table.
Zhou Jijiu and Liu Yuanwai gritted their teeth and sat on the same bench.
Zhao Shouye brought the teapot and poured water into the cup.
Zhao Liben smiled lightly and said, "I made the two in-laws laugh."
"What are you talking about, sir? Who hasn't suffered from three disasters?" Zhou Jijiu waved his hands and smiled, saying it didn't matter.
"That's right. Shibo, please be considerate. There is no obstacle that you can't overcome. If you help me, you can always get through it." Liu Yuanwai also comforted him from the side.
"I am extremely pleased that two of you said this." Zhao Liben sat on another bench with a smile, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water, and habitually closed his eyes to taste it.
The two sides exchanged a few useless greetings and drank wine.Then he took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Liben.
"The boss is going back to his hometown soon. Please prepare some preparations and express your feelings."
Liu Yuanwai also quickly took out an identical envelope and handed it to Zhao Liben.
Zhao Liben looked at the two of them and then at the two envelopes. He stretched out his fingers to open the seal of an envelope, and a five-hundred-tael meeting ticket was revealed.
The Zhao brothers, who were standing behind Zhao Liben, brightened up when they saw this. That was not a worthless treasure, but a meeting note cashed internally by Huizhou merchants - that was a real five hundred taels of silver without any discount!
Zhao Shouzheng gave his son a proud look, as if to say: 'Look, you have to eat both soft rice and bread, do you insist on getting it? ¡¯
Zhao Hao couldn¡¯t help but nod his head. He saw clearly that the old man opened the envelope for Zhou Jijiu, and his father-in-law's share would be much larger.
Zhao Shouye and his son were also very happy. The family is not divided. If there is meat in the pot, they can always share a spoonful with each other.
Although he was overjoyed, Zhao Shouye couldn't help but feel sorry for his son, and said to himself: 'It's a pity that my damn in-laws didn't leave any property, so my son had nothing to eat. "
Not to mention the hopeless appearance of the four members of the Zhao family, Zhao Liben's expression turned gloomy and he did not look happy at all.
He twisted his fingers and pulled out a piece of red paper from under the ticket, with Zhao Shouzheng's Nian Geng written on it!
"What does this mean?" Zhao Liben sneered, and all four members of the Zhao family stayed there.
The Geng Tie was a token given by the Zhao family to the Zhou family when they got engaged. Now that he has reappeared in the Zhao family, it cannot be that he was accidentally brought along, right?
Zhao Hao glanced at Zhao Shouzheng with a wry smile, didn't he say that your father-in-law has moral integrity? Where did his integrity go?
As for the other envelope, you don¡¯t even need to look at it. When the dignified Imperial College is about to break off the engagement, if a businessman named Liu is reliable, the old sow can climb the tree!
Seeing that the situation was already over, Zhou Jijiu and Liu Yuanwai had nothing to hide.
Then I saw Zhou Jijiu wink at Liu Yuanwai, meaning, I have already started the attack, now it is your turn.
"My lord, please forgive me." Liu Yuanwai coughed dryly and said in a muffled voice, "The road to Xiuning is rugged and long. My little girl is weak and sick, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to follow"
But I heard Zhao Shouzheng suddenly say: "Don't worry, my parents, my father and son have made up their mind to stay in Nanjing. If that doesn't work out, there's no problem in going to Suzhou to get married."
"Well¡¡"
"I didn't expect that Zhao Shouzheng, a scholar, would be so generous. Liu Yuanwai couldn't answer the question immediately, so he had to sit there dumbfounded.
Zhao Hao almost lost his temper and went to Suzhou to get married? Wouldn't that make him a son-in-law? Banana, you Bara, why don¡¯t you show some face?
