Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although today is not a New Year holiday, Zhao Shouzheng is also at home.

    Because the Imperial College Examination is coming soon, the proctors who are preparing to take the exam are allowed to prepare for the exam at home without having to sit in prison.

    Zhao Shouzheng was sitting in the main room with two uninvited guests, talking intermittently, feeling very tortured.

    Seeing his son come in, he seemed to have seen reinforcements, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My son is back."

    "Father." Zhao Hao saluted Zhao Shouzheng respectfully, then straightened up and looked coldly at Na Zhoujiu and Liu Yuanwai.

    "My child, even if the marriage fails, Da Sicheng and I are still your elders. Why don't you salute us?"

    Liu Yuanwai¡¯s attitude was much more arrogant than the previous one. In the previous one, Zhao Liben was there, and he knew that he was in the wrong, so he was quite cautious and compromised.

    But this time, since the two sides had already broken their skin and Zhao Liben was not present, he naturally wanted to regain the place he lost last time.

    Zhao Hao saw an unpleasant arrogance on his fat face.  Xin said that although he was also fat, Tang Youde was much cuter than him.

    "Hmph." Zhao Hao sneered and said, "Those who humiliate others will always humiliate them!"

    "That's right." Zhao Shouzheng immediately added: "A gentleman must respect himself, and people must respect themselves"

    Although he felt that saying this might offend Zhou Jijiu, it was more important to Zhao Shouzheng to always be on the same front with his son.

    Liu Yuanwai couldn't help but became furious. He slapped Fang Ji and said: "Sure enough, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. You Zhao family are so shameless. It shows that our decision to break off the engagement is very correct!"

    "Haha." Zhao Hao lifted his robe, sat down next to Zhao Shouzheng and said, "You can cancel the engagement, and each of you will pay ten thousand taels."

    "That's right." Zhao Shouzheng immediately nodded his head and said, "It's not even a penny less!"

    This is what the old man ordered before he left, so Zhao Shouzheng must strictly implement it.

    "Haha" Zhou Jijiu and Liu Yuanwai's noses almost turned out of breath, and they looked at each other.

    "Is Da Sicheng no longer fantasizing?" Liu Yuanwai looked at Zhou Jijiu with an expression that he had known he would be like this.

    The so-called "Da Sicheng" is also an elegant name for offering wine.

    Zhou Jijiu hesitated for a moment, nodded, then slowly unfolded the gold-painted folding fan, shook it gently and said: "From March to now, Shouzheng, you have been in jail every day, rain or shine. From studying to being a businessman, everyone has praised your attitude.  He is upright and his studies are progressing by leaps and bounds. It seems that he is bound to win the title of Autumn this year."

    Zhao Shouzheng's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this guy had some bad idea.  In fact, if his future was not still in their hands, he would have driven them away long ago.

    Zhao Hao, however, remained calm and quietly watched Zhou Jijiu's performance.

    "But if you want to enter the provincial examination, you must first pass the registration examination. This year's registration examination was organized by the Imperial College on its own" Zhou Jijiu closed the folding fan with a snap, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and stopped talking.

    But the naked threat has been conveyed to the father and son in no uncertain terms.

    Zhao Shouzheng looked at Zhao Hao nervously, but Zhao Hao showed a strange smile.

    It looked like he was angry, but also like a cat playing with a mouse.

    "What are you laughing at?" Liu Yuanwai particularly disliked this boy.  And since he returned home, Zhao Shouzheng seemed to have gained a backbone and became more and more irritated.

    Zhao Hao ignored him, only looked at Zhou Jijiu who looked confident of winning, and said with a smile: "I heard a poem from someone else, and I will enjoy it with Zhou Jijiu today."

    Before Zhou Jijiu could express his stance, he cleared his throat and chanted:

    "A branch of Begonia is fresh after rain, and its thin temples are light and graceful. It has color but no fragrance. It is good for itself. It makes people jealous but makes people pity"

    "Pfft" Liu Yuanwai couldn't help laughing, stroking his palms and teasingly saying: "If the female history of Qinhuai heard this poem, maybe she could save her nephew the money to board the ship."

    "Ah, how could my son write such erotic poems" Zhao Shouzheng's expression changed when he heard this, but he would never reprimand Zhao Hao in front of outsiders.

    But the two soon discovered that Zhou Jijiu¡¯s face had become as white as paper, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

    "This, this, this" Zhou Jijiu looked at Zhao Hao with fear in his eyes, and after a long while he held back a sentence and said: "Find a place, let's talk alone."

    "What can't you say to others?" Zhao Hao put on airs.

    Seeing that he was determined, Zhou Jijiu became increasingly flustered and short of breath. He actually stood up and bowed deeply to Zhao Hao. Then without further explanation, he took his arm and walked towards the west room.

    Watching the door to the west room slam shut, Zhao Shouzheng and Liu Yuan looked at each other, both of them?Know what these two are up to.

    "But in Liu Yuanwai's heart, there was more of an ominous premonition.  Zhou Jijiu is a dignified fourth-grade official, but he actually panicked after hearing a pornographic poem. This in itself can explain a lot of problems.

    Zhao Shouzheng is full of gossip now. Unfortunately, he can only wait for his son to answer his questions later.

    ??~~

    In the west room, Zhou Jijiu grabbed Zhao Hao's arm with both hands, growled and asked, "Where did you hear this poem?"

    Zhao Hao opened his arm, pushed Zhou Jijiu two steps away, and sneered: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself!"

    "You, what do you know?" Zhou Jijiu's face became more and more ugly, and he was almost scared out of his wits by Zhao Hao.

    "It's not too much." Zhao Hao's smile became brighter and he said: "I just know that in the past few months, you have been very close to Shao Fang, who is known as the 'Danyang Hero', and you even took a flower boat night with him.  Touring the Qinhuai River. Shao Daxia is a wonderful man. He helped Mr. Zhou to connect with a famous Qinhuai prostitute By the way, what is the name of that famous prostitute? Zhu Taiyu, whose maiden name is Wuxia, right? Zhou Jijiu will compare beautiful women  "Being a begonia, I'm afraid it means that I'm showing off as a pear blossom, right?"

    "You, you" Zhou Jijiu's old face turned red as his wine was being squeezed out. He was about to defend himself when he suddenly heard Zhao Haoshi say in shock:

    "Is Shao Daxia doing it for Wei Guogong?"

    Zhou Jijiu¡¯s old face turned pale immediately, then turned purple, and finally turned livid.

    He never expected that such an extremely confidential matter would be treated as if he had seen it personally by this young boy living in a back alley.

    After shaking for a long time, he knelt down in front of Zhao Hao, bowed his head and said, "I really can't afford ten thousand taels of silver."

    Zhao Hao was really shocked. He didn't expect that the fourth-grade official would kneel down whenever he asked.

    Then I saw that Zhou Jijiu started to cry and said: "I was only selected as a Jinshi at the age of forty-one. It is not easy to choose a college by luck. Now that my career is on the rise, I am so nervous about my official position that I don't dare to accept the gift.  . Relying on the daily filial piety of the prison students, I can barely maintain my dignity. I just empty out my family, and I can only take out a thousand taels of silver."

    "Mr. Zhao, I promise you everything. Don't expose the matter between me and Wei Guogong, otherwise I will be completely ruined"

    Zhou Ji was so frightened that he knelt on the ground at the cocktail party, not because he was worried that his affair with a famous prostitute in Qinhuai would be spread, but because he was afraid that his affair with Wei Duke Xu Pengju would be revealed.

    The former can only slightly damage his reputation, but will not even affect his official career.  After all, in the eyes of the public, the main business of Nanjing officials is to plant flowers and walk birds. Visiting the Qinhuai River and singing with famous prostitutes are really nothing.

    But the last thing - it violates the taboo of collusion between civil and military forces!  Xia Yan, the first assistant at that time, was beheaded by Yan Song on the charge of "ministers colluding with border generals".  The dignified chief minister was going to be killed in a different place. How could he, a small Imperial Academy student and a native of Nanjing, be able to withstand such a crime?

    Although Wei Guogong Xu Pengju was not a general, as the head of Jinling nobles, he served as the garrison of Nanjing all year round, so his status was naturally very sensitive.

    ¡°If I really want to expose this matter, I¡¯m afraid even the gods won¡¯t be able to save his surname Zhou.

    Zhou Jijiu never expected that he would be extremely careful every time he met Shao Fang, and never even come into direct contact with Wei Guogong, yet he would still be treated as if he had met him personally by a young boy living in Caijia Lane!

    Anyone else would be frightened.
