Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Jin, Wang Shouren's youngest direct disciple, was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing.  On New Year's Day of the 32nd year of Jiajing, Yan Song was impeached on the pretext of a solar eclipse and was sentenced to prison and exiled to the army. It has been fourteen years now!

    In the first year of Longqing, he rehabilitated the former officials who had been convicted of crimes due to their words. He was on the list of people to be reinstated. In April of that year, he was reinstated by the original official!  Then within one year, he was promoted eight levels in a row, from the seventh-rank supervisory censor, to the third-rank right deputy censor, governor of Guizhou, and later moved to the position of Dajiuqing all the year round until he was seventy-six years old.  He died in office.

    Zhao Hao never expected that such an outstanding person would be hiding in Cai¡¯s alley.

    What¡¯s even better is that today is the first day of March in the first year of Longqing. There is still more than a month left, and Mr. Zhao will see the light of day again and shine!

    Zhao Hao almost laughed like a pig.  Is there such an instant and cheap cold stove available in the world?  If it's not big, it's special. If it's red, it's hot. I feel sorry for the old manager who sent me to Caijiaxiang

    Blacksmith Gao on the side saw Zhao Hao actually showing the look of a young girl, and he couldn't help but worriedly remind him: "Although Mr. Zhao is allowed to live outside the camp because of his old age, he is after all a soldier who has committed a crime. Young Master still doesn't want to live there."  If you get too close to him, your future will be affected"

    "I don't agree with what the old man said." Zhao Hao said righteously and conclusively: "I think that Mr. Zhao is upright, so he must have been unjustly imprisoned. Such an old man who makes decisions for the people, I have always  Admiration, I am determined to be this friend!"

    "Young Master is indeed worthy of being a Young Master!" Hearing this, Blacksmith Gao felt ashamed and said with admiration, "You are too vulgar, this little old man."

    "I'm doing this for my own good, thank you for reminding me." Zhao Hao comforted him, feeling that his level had been elevated again.

    ??~~

    The man who delivered the bricks walked forward, and Lao Jia arrived on the back. He actually found twenty people for him, including bricklayers and other workers

    Looking at the twenty strong men, Zhao Hao couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, thinking that Mr. Zhao would never deceive me.

    ¡°Do you need so many people?¡± Gao Tiejian couldn¡¯t help but feel sorry for Zhao Hao, Qian said.

    "It was Mr. Zhao who ordered that the more the merrier." Yu Jiachang chuckled and said, "If I hadn't heard that I wanted to work for the richest man in Caijiaxiang, I wouldn't have been able to find so many people."

    "Ahem" Zhao Hao coughed for a while, wondering when he had gained such a reputation.  But he can only pretend to be fat and say:

    "I have hired them all!"

    "We in Caijia Lane are all military households, and every family is very poor. If you have people to use, you should take care of your neighbors." Yu Jiachang said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

    "That's natural. I have a business right now. I'll talk to you boss about it someday." Zhao Hao smiled and said to Lao Jia.

    "The relationship is good, I'm waiting for you." The old man nodded happily, turned to the bricklayers and said loudly: "You all work hard for me, and whoever makes a fool of you, don't try to take jobs from me in the future!"

    "You don't need to tell me, it's too late for us to curry favor with Mr. Zhao." The bricklayers laughed and entered the courtyard. They first discussed how to divide the work, and then started working enthusiastically.

    You know that there is strength in numbers, so these small bricklayers started working together, and before it got dark, Zhao's house was covered with floor tiles both inside and outside.  Moreover, it is a herringbone paving method with the brick sides facing up The floor paved by this paving method is strong, non-slip and not loose, and there is no need to apply mortar, which can be said to have many benefits.

    It¡¯s just a waste of time, materials and money. This afternoon¡¯s wages alone cost Mr. Zhao twenty taels of silver

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away out of pocket.  But in order to maintain his hard-won glorious image as the richest man in Caijiaxiang, Zhao Hao reluctantly stopped.

    After getting the money, the bricklayers were naturally satisfied. They built the remaining bricks into the courtyard wall in one breath and asked the workers to help arrange the furniture. Then they left happily.

    Thinking that because they had earned a few extra small bucks, they could buy two more taels of wine and add some meat dishes after returning home, and the family would happily have dinner.  Zhao Hao felt that the money was actually spent on the right place

    ??~~

    At this moment, Blacksmith Gao went to prepare dinner.  Gao Wuze and Fang Wen, who came to help in the afternoon, fetched water and swept the floor inside and outside to remove the soot smell from the newly laid floor tiles.

    Zhao Hao walked around the three main rooms with his hands behind his back.  The green brick floor in the main room was set with a brand new cypress Eight Immortals table, four official hat chairs of the same material, as well as matching coffee tables and long tables, all with the aroma of freshly painted tung oil, which made Zhao Hao intoxicated.

    This is all earned with my own hands

    Then turn to the east room, which is Zhao Shouzheng¡¯s bedroom. The sameIt is paved with brand new blue bricks, equipped with pine canopy beds, wardrobes, clothes racks, mahogany desks, chairs and bookshelves The price of this set of desks, chairs and bookshelves is more expensive than all other furniture put together. I really feel sorry for Mr. Zhao.  I hope my father will become a dragon.

    Zhao Hao finally returned to the west room where he lived. The decoration in the east room was completely similar to that of Zhao Shouzheng, except that there was no mahogany furniture In addition to being reluctant to part with it, he also wanted to impress Zhao Shouzheng so that Mr. Zhao could study harder.

    But this already made Zhao Hao feel very happy. He lay on his back on a bed covered with soft mattresses and covered with dark-flowered Songjiang cotton sheets, laughing happily.

    Then paint the broken walls on all sides and replace all the broken doors and windows, and this little nest will finally look like a present.

    At this moment, Zhao Shouzheng¡¯s voice was heard outside:

    "Hey, why have you changed?"

    Zhao Hao jumped up from the bed, walked out with a smile and said, "Father didn't expect that, did he?"

    "I really didn't expect it. It's completely new." Zhao Shouzheng looked around and praised a few words in response to the situation, but there was no usual surprise, which made Zhao Hao feel a little surprised.

    But it¡¯s hard for him to ask in front of so many people.

    After a while, Blacksmith Gao brought the food and set out the bowls and chopsticks.  Zhao Shouzheng said to Zhao Hao, "Didn't I say that your Uncle Fan won't come to eat? There's no need to prepare bowls and chopsticks for him."

    "Well, it's actually for my father's book boy." Zhao Hao coughed lightly, looked around and said, "Fang Wen, why don't you show up yet?"

    The child timidly walked out from behind Gao Wu and kowtowed to Mr. Zhao who was about to serve him.

    "Hey, where did this come from?" Zhao Shouzheng asked curiously: "Why didn't you see it when you entered the door?"

    "At that time, he was sprinkling water in the courtyard and kowtowing to his father" Zhao Hao looked at Fang Wen with a wry smile. At night, the child's invisibility became more powerful.

    "Oh, really?" Zhao Shouzheng rubbed his eyes, looked hard at Fang Wen, trying to remember his appearance and said, "This kid is hiding in the city, and he will definitely have a future."

    Zhao Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, thinking that whoever you catch will be promising in the future.
