Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the Flower Hall of Zhao Mansion.

    Zhou Jijiu bowed his body slightly and looked up at Zhao Hao. His face was full of flattery, but he could not hide his fear.

    If anyone else sees this scene, they will definitely rub their eyes hard.  How could a dignified Nanjing Imperial College student be so groveling to his own student?

    It¡¯s normal to turn it upside down!

    In fact, Zhou Jijiu was not so afraid of Zhao Hao before. Even if the young master came to apologize to Zhao Hao, he was not too afraid.  What really frightened him were two pieces of news from Beijing. One was that Zhao Jinrong was promoted to Xiaojiuqing, and the other was that Wu Shilai, Mr. Xu Ge's right-hand man, actually supported the Zhao family and impeached Wei Guogong.

    This shows that the boy surnamed Zhao has reached the sky, and the previous threats may have been just intimidation.

    But now, Zhou Jijiu knows that he can really kill him!

    Apart from fear, there is even more regret!  Why are you so blind?  It was obviously possible to create a scholarly story that would never give up and everyone would be happy, but now it has ended up like this

    He wanted to try to make amends before the news of breaking off the engagement spread.  Otherwise, when Zhao Shouzheng gets engaged to another family again, he will become the laughingstock of the scholars

    "Please speak." Zhao Hao couldn't stand Zhou Jijiu's humble appearance. His fantasy about Qingliu was completely shattered by this person.

    Then he turned around, picked up the tea cup, and looked at the stone and bamboo compositions outside the window.  A craftsman is using a thin brush to outline the outline of characters on the Taihu stone.

    ¡®It is determined that the Qingshan is not relaxed, the echigen was in the broken rock ¡¯

    Zhao Hao almost spit the tea out of the window when he saw the verses painted on it!  What tricks is uncle doing?

    Before he could ask the craftsman, Zhou Jijiu, who was next to him, finally plucked up the courage and spoke.

    "The previous fate played a trick on people, which caused great harm to both families"

    Hearing this, Zhao Hao glanced at Zhou Jijiu, but he didn¡¯t expect him to have the nerve to mention this.

    Then I heard Zhou Jijiu talking to himself: "It is true that I was deceived by others, and a single thought led to a big mistake. Fortunately, only my family knew about this matter, and it has not been spread. If we can restore the good of Qin and Jin at this time, outsiders will  There is no way to know this bad thing, there is no great good, there are hundreds of benefits and no harm."

    "Haha" Zhao Hao smiled in disbelief: "You are so embarrassed to say this."

    "Listen to what I have to say." Zhou Jijiu waved his hands hurriedly, and said with the determination of a strong man: "My mistakes are all the fault of my Zhou family. So of course I have to compensate the Zhao family. I was engaged to your father in the past.  Yes, she is the third daughter of my concubine. If we can get re-engaged this time, I will betroth the only legitimate daughter of my first wife to your father, and make the three daughters concubines. How about the sisters marrying your father together?"

    "Is this still possible?" Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard this. He really couldn't imagine how Zhou Jijiu came up with this method.

    "This is an ancient ritual, isn't it unusual?" Zhou Jijiu spread his hands, and he also didn't understand why Zhao Hao was so surprised.

    ??In the marriages of scholar-bureaucrats, it is indeed not uncommon for sisters to marry together and one wife to one wife

    "Okay" Zhao Hao waved his hands dumbfounded, saying he couldn't decide: "But how can a son make the decision for his father? You'd better tell my father"

    "Of course, I have to ask the young master first. I can only speak if you don't object." Zhou Jijiu said with a very sensible look: "Of course, it would be better if the young master can convey it on my behalf."

    "I won't object or help, you can make your own decision." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and thought, "Isn't it enough for me to find a stepmother for myself?"  Need to find two more?  How mean should I be?

    "It's fine, Master, if you don't object." Zhou Jijiu also breathed a sigh of relief.

    ??~~

    Zhao Hao left the flower hall and asked his father and uncle to come back and deal with the man named Zhou.

    He stayed outside, looking at the craftsman who was writing with his hands behind his back.

    "What is this for?"

    "Back to the young master." The craftsman quickly put down his work and saluted him: "The eldest master has ordered that the young master's masterpieces be engraved in various places in the house. He said that this poem represents the integrity of the Zhao family, so it should be placed there.  A place to entertain guests.¡±

    "The integrity of the Zhao familywhy didn't I know that there was such a thing?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but secretly cursed: 'If it is, it is also the integrity to eat soft rice, right?  ¡¯

    He felt that it would be more appropriate to engrave 'soft rice so soft'

    He kept talking outside, paying attention to the movements in the flower hall

    By this time, Zhou Jijiu had already repeated the proposal to brother Zhao Shouzheng.

    Zhao Shouye¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thought to himself, is there such a good thing as having two sisters?

    Then he whispered to his younger brother in a low voice: "This man Zhou Jijiu?Maybe he'll be up there in no time.  He is so groveling, it¡¯s hard to find such a father-in-law"

    Zhao Shouzheng nodded with deep understanding.

    Zhou Jijiu was overjoyed when he saw this, and asked hurriedly: "Is the good son-in-law ready?"

    "No." Zhao Shouzheng shook his head decisively and said, "I will not marry your daughter."

    "Huh?" Zhou Jijiu and Zhao Shouye were both surprised.

    "Huh?!" Zhao Hao outside was also surprised. His father didn't agree with this good idea of ??buying one and getting one free?

    ??????????? Look at him running quite frequently towards the Qinhuai River, right?

    "Why would a good son-in-law say this?" Zhou Jijiu asked hurriedly: "I promise you a pair of daughters, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

    "But I don't dare to marry!" Zhao Shouzheng said in a rare serious tone:

    "When my family was in trouble, you kept asking to break off the engagement. Now that my Zhao family is getting prosperous again, you want to marry your daughter to me again. If my family is in trouble again in the future, Mr. Zhou will definitely take his two daughters back."

    "How could it be? This married daughter threw water." Zhou Jijiu argued with a red face: "I still understand the principle that water cannot be recovered."

    "It's good if Da Sicheng understands." Zhao Shouzheng picked up the teacup, poured the tea on the ground and said, "Since the water that was spilled cannot be recovered, the broken marriage cannot be renewed!"

    "You, you'd better ask your father before we talk, right?" Zhou Jijiu felt ashamed and didn't know how he said this.

    "It used to be difficult for my father to make decisions, but before we left, my father promised me to make the decision myself." Zhao Shouzheng replied, "Of course I can do it according to my own wishes."

    With that said, he stood up and said, "Da Sicheng, please come back."

    "Alas, you are so" Zhou Jijiu was so annoyed in his heart that he wanted to say some unpleasant words to vent his anger, but he caught a glimpse of Zhao Hao looking at him with a half-smile outside the window.  He hurriedly swallowed his words and left in despair.

    Zhao Shouye and Zhao Shouzheng only sent him out the second door and then stood still.

    ??~~

    Outside the Zhao Mansion, Liu Yuanwai was waiting left and right in the sedan chair, but Zhou Jijiu did not come out for a long time.

    He was feeling bored and dry, so he had to get out of the sedan chair to take a breath, and looked inside the door to see why the person named Zhou hadn't come out yet.

    Who would have thought that as soon as he got off the sedan chair, he heard an abominable voice and made a fuss:

    "Hey, isn't this President Liu? Why don't you go in?"

    Then I saw Tang Youde getting off the carriage with a teasing look on his face.

    "YouI" The two people Liu Yuanwai least wanted to see right now were Fatty Tang.  But the way he just poked his head around was looked at by someone. At this time, he had nothing to say and was in a dilemma.
