Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Brother Zhao Shouzheng worked really hard for a few days before purchasing all the furniture and furnishings for the new house.  He also hired housekeepers, cooks, and bought servants and maids, and the money was spent like water.

    At the end of the month, I calculated and found a balance of five thousand taels

    "After Zhao Shouzheng was elected, people came to pay homage to him almost every day, fellow villagers came to send congratulatory gifts, and people of all kinds came to offer their gifts.  In particular, those Huizhou merchants were determined to mend the previously broken relationship. First they came to Caijia Lane to congratulate them on winning the election, and then they came to Zhao Mansion to celebrate the Zhao family's move. They actually bled twice.

    There were also many matchmakers who came to propose marriage to Zhao Hao and his son.  Many people know that the position of head wife is out of reach, so they aim at the position of concubine.  If they all come down, the father and son will already have ten concubines per person

    However, Zhao Shouzheng rejected them all because of his father's absence.

    As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Zhao Shouzheng now has a headache when he hears someone proposing marriage.

    But the more frightened you are, the harder it is to get away with this kind of thing.

    Early this morning, someone came to the door again

    Outside the Zhao Mansion, two sedans landed behind the screen wall. On one of the sedans came the Imperial Academy Zhou Jijiu.

    The other person on the sedan refused to get off the sedan.

    Zhou Jijiu waited impatiently, opened the sedan curtain and urged: "You're already here, why don't you get down yet?"

    "I dont go."

    Sitting in the sedan chair was actually Liu Yuanwai, the president of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce and the second-largest figure in the Dongting Merchant Gang. He crossed his arms and said with a gloomy look: "That kid has humiliated me so much, how can I go up to him and humiliate him again?"  ?¡±

    "Then what are you doing here?" Zhou Ji asked drunkenly.

    "You forced me to come here." Liu Yuanwai curled his lips and said, "I just want to see how you can get over this round?"

    "Okay, I admit that I am gambling," Zhou Jijiu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But if the bet wins, then I will get back all my capital and profits."

    "Okay, I wish you good luck." Liu Yuan pointed at the 'Zhao Mansion' plaque that had been re-hanged on the door, and lowered the sedan curtain with his hand.

    "I don't understand how a businessman needs face so much." Zhou Jijiu shook his head and had no choice but to have someone hand him a greeting card and go to the door alone.

    ??~~

    In the back house, Zhao Hao put down his job and ran to work in the side courtyard.

    Zhao Shouye couldn't help but asked curiously: "What does this kid do all day long? It's mysterious."

    Zhao Shouzheng looked through the gift list and said casually: "Who knows, the day before yesterday I hired a mirror grinder from the Confucius Temple's shop. The two of them have been tinkering in the house, and I don't know what they are up to."

    After a pause, Zhao Shouzheng said proudly: "I think my son will have another way to make a fortune"

    "Oh, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves of our old Zhao family." Zhao Shouye couldn't help but sigh again: "Half a year ago, I wouldn't have dared to think about it"

    While the two brothers were talking, the housekeeper came in and reported that Zhou Jijiu was visiting.

    "Second brother, when you hit the mark, all kinds of monsters and monsters came out." Zhao Shouye sighed and asked strangely: "What is he doing here?"

    "I don't know, I can't propose marriage again." Zhao Shouzheng chuckled.

    "How shameless is that" Zhao Shouye curled his lips, and the two brothers laughed.

    Having said that, after all, Zhou Jijiu can be regarded as Zhao Shouzheng's mentor. Now that Zhao Shouzheng has stepped into the officialdom, he is not as willful as before.

    The two brothers went to the gate to greet him and invited Zhou Jijiu to have tea in the flower hall.

    Seeing how polite the Zhao brothers were and how excited they were about the Zhouji wine, I felt a lot calmer.

    But while he looked around, he only spoke politely and refused to get to the point.

    Zhao Shouzheng understood and asked, "Is Da Sicheng looking for my son?"

    "Uh, haha, yes." Zhou Jijiu nodded awkwardly and said, "Can you please come out and talk together?"

    "Okay." Brother Zhao Shouzheng was not surprised. Zhao Hao was already the backbone of the family.

    He asked the housekeeper to invite the second young master over quickly.

    ??~~

    In the small courtyard, Zhao Hao was sitting there, watching blacksmith Gao use a small hammer to beat a piece of brass thinner and thinner.

    The mirror grinder couldn¡¯t make what he needed by himself, so he had to hire a blacksmith to help him.

    Fortunately, Weijixian is on the right track, and construction in Xiaocangshan has not started. Apart from being at the construction site behind, staring at Zhao Hao's new residence, Blacksmith Gao has nothing serious to do.

    Blacksmith Gao hasn¡¯t touched a hammer for a long time, and his hands have become itchy.  This time I was able toHe was naturally very excited when he was doing his old job. He banged the hammer and said with an unsatisfied look on his face: "This brass is too light and soft, so there is no need to overdo it. Just bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang out what you want out of it."  Just like that."

    "The simpler the better, isn't it?" Zhao Hao smiled and glanced at Master Lu who was grinding mirrors next door.  If you have money in your heart, you just need to use your words. There are professionals who can do it for you.

    "That doesn't show off the old man's craftsmanship." But Blacksmith Gao felt it was not enough and suggested, "I'll carve a flower for you later."

    "It's up to you." Zhao Hao smiled and pointed at the drawing hanging on the wall: "As long as it doesn't get out of shape."

    "Young master, what you said is that we are old at shooting gun barrels. Doing this is a piece of cake"

    While the two were chatting, Gao Wu came in to report that Zhou Jijiu was here.

    "Okay." Zhao Hao had no choice but to leave Old Man Gao behind and follow the housekeeper waiting outside to meet the guests in the flower hall.

    ??~~

    In the flower hall, when Zhou Jijiu saw Zhao Hao coming in, he subconsciously stood up to greet him.

    But suddenly realizing that this was inappropriate, he hurriedly restrained himself and bowed instead.

    Zhao Shouye couldn't help but secretly marvel at this, thinking to himself, what trick did Zhao Hao use to make a dignified Imperial College scholar drink wine and eat him to death?

    Zhao Hao was also very polite. He paid the teacher-student ceremony to Zhou Jijiu and then willingly accompanied him to the last seat.

    "Can you two please allow me to have a private chat with Mr. Ling?" Zhou Jijiu looked at the Zhao brothers. The two of them had known that he was here to see Zhao Hao, so they left wisely.

    When there was no one else in the flower hall, Zhou Jijiu suddenly stood up, as if there was a needle on the chair.

    "Master Zhao" Zhou Jijiu bowed deeply to Zhao Hao, bowed his waist and said, "I have done everything I should do, and I have also cut off contact with Shao Fang. Can this matter be dropped?"

    "Da Sicheng is very suspicious, so I made it clear to you that day that once what needs to be done is done, we will be settled." Zhao Hao sat back on the official hat chair, dusted off the dust on his brocade robe, and said calmly.  : "Why bother asking again?"

    "Isn't it because I feel uneasy?" Zhou Jijiu took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't feel at ease if I don't listen to the young master saying that he forgives me."

    "Can you rest assured now?" Zhao Hao stood up, straightened Zhou Jijiu's wrinkled sleeves, and said with a faint smile: "If you have nothing else to do, please come back. I'm still busy."

    "Uh, there's one more thing" Zhou Jijiu gritted his teeth and met Zhao Hao's gaze.
