Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the next few days, Zhao Hao¡¯s family can only temporarily stay at the uncle¡¯s house.

    Zhao Shouye received thousands of taels of silver from the Qian family. As soon as his family wealth became rich, he rented the largest and best three-in courtyard in Caijia Lane.  In the past few months, the three of him and a few maids and servants had lived there, and it was not too crowded for Zhao Hao and his entire family to move in.

    Zhao Shouye was naturally very happy that Zhao Hao could move here. Now he was afraid that his nephew, the heart of the Zhao family, would become estranged from his family, so he naturally tried his best to make people serve him carefully.

    It¡¯s just that Zhao Hao felt very uncomfortable without Qiaoqiao around to take care of his daily life and food.  But he was just here to help. Now that the uncle has a dedicated servant to take care of him, how can he keep him here?

    For several days, Zhao Shouzheng and Eryang were busy attending the Luming Banquet held by Yingtian Mansion, as well as various other banquets that they couldn't refuse.  Zhao Hao was not idle here either. The family was so important that so many relatives and friends came out of nowhere to congratulate and give gifts.  Although the uncle and his son tried their best to greet him, as the representative of Zhao Shouzheng, he could not escape his leisure.

    Until the afternoon of this day, Zhao Hao finally had half a day of free time, so he had someone set up a lounge chair and bask in the sun in the courtyard.

    After enjoying it for a while, he lazily picked up the four letters on the small table and opened them one by one to read.

    These four letters are of considerable origin. They are written by two senior officials of the Suzhou Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture, as well as the literary leaders Wang Shizhen and Hua Taishi.  The four letters are similar. They all thank him for cultivating Eryang and hope that he can continue to encourage and teach them so that they can continue to work hard and strive for greater success in the coming year.

    In addition, he also asked him to allow them to return to their hometown, participate in the deer-crowing banquet held by various prefectures, and perform ancestor worship and other trivial matters, and also warmly invited him to be a guest.

    Zhao Hao didn¡¯t care about these enthusiastic words. After all, they were just polite words, so he really lost.  And he didn't plan to go to the appointment. When the time came, he would be embarrassed by being brothers with a bunch of old men.

    After making up his mind, Zhao Hao wrote a reply.  Gao Wu was asked to prepare two heavy gifts.

    When Wang Wuyang and Hua Shuyang came back after dark, Zhao Hao distributed four letters and two generous gifts to them and said: "The family is in a hurry, so you can go back to your hometown tomorrow."

    "Master, we don't plan to go back." Eryang said in unison: "Those constant compliments have made people sick. We should stay in Nanjing to study with Master."

    "No, you should go back." Zhao Haoxin said, I haven't taken care of preparation yet, how can I give you a lecture?

    Er Yang was stunned when he heard this, and Wang Wuyang suddenly asked: "Master, is this also a kind of cultivation?"

    "Well, that's right." Zhao Haoxin said, this is nothing.  However, he is now very aware of the brain power of the two disciples, and knows that these two extremely smart guys can easily understand a series of great truths.

    "It's true!" Hua Shuyang also perked up and started thinking: "Master asked us to sweep the courtyard and serve tea and water before, in order to sharpen our character by making us endure hardship. Now let us go home and enjoy it.  Glory and adulation depend on whether we can remain calm despite honor or disgrace, and maintain a peaceful heart no matter what the circumstances!"

    "That's good." Zhao Hao nodded. He could teach ten such students at one go without getting tired.

    "It seems that we have been carried away again these days. Master thinks that our state of mind is not suitable for accepting sacred knowledge" Wang Wuyang also reflected sadly from the side: "Sure enough, our practice is still far from home"

    "Okay, it's good to know." Zhao Hao waved his hand and asked the two to stop.  Otherwise, if they continue to think about it, they won¡¯t be able to finish it until dawn.

    "Then Master, when will we have class?" Eryang looked at Zhao Hao.

    "Come back to me when you calm down." Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said, "The Master Association will be waiting for you here."

    After saying that, he quickly sent away the two apprentices who were about to go crazy.  He will vomit if he keeps pretending

    ??~~

    The next day, Zhao Hao and his son sent Er Yang on the official ship to Suzhou.

    The boat was specially sent by the Suzhou government to pick them up. There were no less than forty servants from both families on the boat, so Zhao Hao didn't need to worry about it.

    On the way back, Zhao Shouzheng saw the carriage arriving at Hubu Street and couldn't help but ask: "Son, didn't you say that after passing the imperial examination, you want to help your father get the jade pendant back?"

    "Yes, otherwise why would you come here?" Zhao Hao smiled and took out two pawn tickets from his sleeves, dusted them with his slender fingers and said: "Today, not only do I have to get back the jade pendant, but I also have to give someone named Zhang  He will vomit out all the money and profits he has eaten from our Zhao family!"

    "Oh? Really?""" Zhao Shouzheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but he was also confused and said: "That Brother Zhang is not easy to mess with. Although I have won the election now, I still can't suppress him."  I don¡¯t know what good advice my son has?  "

    "Father, just watch the show." Zhao Hao moved his hands and feet.  The day of reckoning finally arrived, and he had been waiting for this day for too long.

    "That's a good relationship." Zhao Shouzheng nodded happily. If he was asked to perform like last time, he would not only feel tired, but also lose his status as a master.

    While talking, the carriage stopped steadily at the door of Dehengdang.

    This time Zhao Hao and his son did not get out of the car, but only asked Gao Wu to go in and report.

    With Deheng being well-informed, he naturally knew that the father and son were no longer what they used to be.  They opened the most prosperous Weijixian restaurant in Jinling City and made a fortune through the raw silk business. Even Liu Zhengqi, the dignified second-in-command of the Dongting Merchant Gang, was tricked by the boy from the Zhao family!

    ¡°Now the Zhao family¡¯s net worth is probably up to 50,000 taels.

    What¡¯s even more ridiculous is that Zhao Shouzheng, a thousand-year-old prison student, has actually become the master of government examinations!

    ¡°And that boy from the Zhao family incredibly became the top two teachers in this year¡¯s provincial examination, stealing the spotlight from the examiner.

    It is said that his two students are both from a good background. One is a son of the Wang family in Taicang, and the other is the son of the Hua family in Wuxi

    Who would have thought that in just half a year, the Zhao family, who had been sentenced to death by everyone, would actually stand up again!

    This made Zhang Yuanwai regret that he had been too harsh on Zhao Shouzheng.

    But fortunately, it was a big help to their family last time In Zhang Yuanwai's opinion, the two thousand five hundred taels he lent to Zhao Shouzheng was definitely the capital for the Zhao family to regain their fortune.

    Thinking about it, he finally made up his mind. He was planning to prepare a generous gift and pay a visit recently, but he heard from the waiter that the Zhao family father and son came to visit.

    After a while, Zhang Yuanwai and Chao Feng went out with cheerful faces and stepped down to greet them.

    ??Zhang Yuanwai bowed deeply to Zhao Shouzheng and said with a smile on his face: "Your fellow countrymen are here to visit us. The shop is really full of glory. Come and have some tea inside!"

    Zhao Shouzheng said, I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh anymore.  Although he couldn't figure out his son's plan, he already knew Zhao Hao's methods very well.  I know that this kid will eat people to death if he doesn't take action
