    Zhao Hao coughed lightly, Qiaoqiao woke up, rubbed his eyes and looked at him: "Hey, why haven't you left yet?"

    "Oh, aren't you waiting for me?" Zhao Hao asked strangely.

    "What are you talking about? I'm waiting for my father." Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes at him and pouted, "What are you waiting for?"

    "Oh, Xuelang invited me to climb the Glazed Pagoda of Dabaoen Temple. I originally wanted to ask you to come with me." Zhao Hao shrugged and deliberately teased her: "It seems that I can only find someone else to climb the tower."

    "Really?" Qiaoqiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll go."

    Before she finished speaking, she saw Ma Xianglan, who was supposed to go home, appear at the door of the restaurant.

    "Why is Sister Xianglan back?" Qiaoqiao asked strangely.

    Ma Xianglan pointed to the piano stand and explained very reasonably: "I forgot to bring the piano."

    "Oh." Qiaoqiao nodded, wondering how Ma Xianglan would forget to bring such a big piano.

    Ma Xianglan put the lyre into the piano bag and asked casually: "Where do you think you are going?"

    "He said that Xuelang invited us to the Glazed Pagoda." Qiaoqiao replied, and then added: "I have never been to the Glazed Pagoda in my whole life. I'm afraid there will never be a second chance for such a good opportunity."

    "Ah, I haven't been there either" Ma Xianglan hugged Qin and chatted with Qiaoqiao, but glanced at Zhao Hao.

    "Okay, I'll leave you alone." Zhao Hao felt the atmosphere that he shouldn't bear at his age, so he irresponsibly said something and ran away as if running away.

    ??~~

    The next day, Zhao Hao came to Shangyuan County Office to visit Zhang Zhixian for the Xiaocangshan project.

    Zhao Hao had been angry with him before. This time he made a formal application and asked the county to approve it.

    Building a garden is an elegant matter, and it can increase tax revenue for Shangyuan County and attract people. Naturally, Zhang Zhixian has no reason to object.  What's more, he still hopes to have a good relationship with Zhao Hao, see if he can find a way in Beijing, and it would be good to serve as magistrate of Shangyuan County one more time.

    "Don't worry, friend Zhao. Shangyuan County lacks such an elegant and good place, so we keep letting literati and dignitaries go to Jiangning County." Zhang Zhixian patted his chest and said: "As long as I am here for one day, I will take care of you."  Xiaocangshan handles it as its own business and will protect you."

    After a pause, he sighed deliberately and said: "It's a pity that Brother Yu's term expires next year. It's hard to say what the attitude of the magistrate who takes over the seal will be after he leaves office."

    "Don't worry, old man, I will find a solution for you when I come to Beijing." Everyone is understanding, so it is particularly effortless to speak.

    "How much money will be needed to take care of it? Brother Yu will prepare it for you." Zhang Zhixian was overjoyed when he heard this.

    "Alas, when it comes to money, it goes away." Zhao Hao smiled and shook his head and said: "In the past, I received a lot of care from my parents, now is the time to repay."

    "It's true, it's true" Hearing that he didn't have to spend money, Zhang Zhixian rubbed his hands happily and said, "My friend Zhao is too young, otherwise Brother Yu would have to become your half-brother."

    "I already treat my old parents as my biological brothers." Zhang Zhixian was disgusting, and Zhao Hao's words were even more disgusting.

    "Okay, okay, this Shangyuan County Government Office will be your home from now on. We brothers must come and go often" Zhang Zhixian is about the same age as Zhao Liben, but he doesn't realize there is anything wrong with this.

    He had to keep Zhao Hao to have lunch at the county government office before he was willing to let him go.

    ??~~

    When Zhao Hao and Zhang Zhixian separated, they saw Li Jiutian, who was still limping, waiting there.

    "Is your work going well, Master?" It was raining mist in the sky, and Li Jiutian held an umbrella for him diligently.

    "It went very smoothly." Zhao Hao said casually as he walked towards the back door of the county government office: "I heard from your county magistrate that the vacancy of the office clerk in the county has not been filled, so I will help you get it."

    "Huh?" Li Jiutian was stunned for a while after hearing this. Fang Da was overjoyed and came to his senses, kowtowed to Zhao Hao to thank him, and cried into tears.

    "Thank you very much for your promotion, young master. I can't repay you enough even if I work like a cow or a horse, young master!"

    The official is the head of the office staff, which sounds inconspicuous.  But if you compare it to later generations, you will know why Li Jiutian was so grateful - the Gongfang Administrator is in charge of the engineering, construction, farming, and water conservancy of a county, which is equivalent to the construction director and water conservancy director in later generations.  It's quite conceivable.

    Li Jiutian was originally a strong class official, but suddenly became one of the top ten people in the county. How could he not be grateful to Zhao Hao?

    "Get up quickly, don't let others see you." Zhao Hao smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Please help me keep an eye on Xiaocangshan and Caijia Lane.?My best repayment.  "

    Li Jiutian quickly wiped his tears and stood up, held up the umbrella for Zhao Hao again and said: "Don't worry, young master, if something goes wrong, I'll raise my head to see you!"

    ??~~

    Despite the misty autumn rain, the literati, wealthy businessmen and wealthy guests boating on the Qinhuai River did not lose their enjoyment at all.

    On the contrary, it is the raindrops like hair that fall on the soft waves of the Qinhuai River. The bright ripples and hazy mist they stir up make tourists more and more immersed in this dreamlike golden powder of the Six Dynasties.

    By the Qinhuai River, there are ten miles of bead curtains, and prostitutes live in rows and rows.  The jewel in this Luoqi brocade is between Wuding Bridge and Kuchao Street.  This place is opposite the streets of Yingtian Gongyuan. It is called Jiuyuan, also known as Quzhong. It is recognized as a gathering place for famous prostitutes in Qinhuai.  Those who can have a place here are all the leaders of the flower who are both excellent in sex and art, and whose skills are superior to those of others.  Qin Huai, which makes people all over the world dream, refers to this section in a narrow sense.

    Since the Tang Dynasty, scholars have had the habit of traveling with prostitutes to celebrate after gaining fame.

    This good habit was naturally inherited completely by the scholars to the Ming Dynasty.

    At this time, Zhao Shouzheng and Ying Tianfu, who passed the examination in the same year as him, took a large boat, several female historians, and a group of troupes to wander on this section of the river.

    "On both sides of the river, there are prostitutes' river houses with carved beams and painted roofs and silk curtains and windows.

    "In every river building, there lived a famous Jiangnan prostitute who was both beautiful and beautiful.

    Their smiles, smiles, songs, and sighs all moved the hearts and souls of the princes, princes, grandsons, and wealthy businessmen in this city, making the entire Jinling City bow under their pomegranate skirts.

    Although the candidates for the new imperial examination are very popular among female historians, if you don¡¯t make a reservation one month in advance, you can¡¯t even think of setting foot in these old courtyards and river towers and becoming the guests of famous prostitutes in the south of the Yangtze River.

    But just taking a boat and passing by these fairy palace-like river houses is enough to make them all in high spirits, competing to compose poems and lyrics, and display their talents like peacocks.  As if it was possible to win the favor of a famous prostitute, she suddenly opened the window and cast her a charming smile.

    At this time, Zhao Shouzheng was very calm. He sat on the mahogany spoon with his eyes slightly closed, holding a wine glass in one hand and tapping the cold marble tabletop with the other hand, as if he was tasting the works of the same year, and as if he was reading the works of the same year.  Enjoy the joy of success.

    He didn¡¯t expect that the joy after winning the exam would be so long-lasting. Different happiness would come to him almost every day.  In the face of such a huge sense of happiness, it seems that all the hardships I have experienced in the past years are worth it.

    "Brother, brother" The shouts brought Zhao Shouzheng back to his senses. He took a closer look and saw that the person calling him was Tang Hezheng, the son of the famous Tang Jingchuan, who was third in the Yingtian Township Examination.

    "What's the matter, dear brother?" Zhao Shouzheng opened his eyes and asked warmly.

    "There are Zhejiang Juzi running wild over there!" Tang Hezheng pointed to a river house in front and said angrily.

    "That's right!" Several others of the same age also said angrily: "You dare to act wild on our territory, brother, let's go and have a meeting!"

    After winning the election, Zhao Shouzheng was actually elected as the eldest brother in the same year.

    Nian Yi is different from his classmates.  After everyone went to the Deer Ming Banquet, they stepped into the officialdom with one foot.  In the future, the official career will be dangerous, and we need to look after each other. Naturally, we need to manage the relationship well, so we are not as cold as our classmates.

    Therefore, Zhao Hao strongly supported Zhao Shouzheng in establishing a good relationship with the public, and allocated a full two thousand taels of silver to his father to pay more bills and hold more gatherings.  This was what Zhao Shouzheng was good at when he was the minister. He spent a lot of money, and as expected, everyone in the same year praised him and restored his former style.

    Given Zhao Shouzheng¡¯s age, the dignified Jie Yuan is still his disciple. How dare others of the same age be above him?

    In addition, there are many Xiuning fellows who won the exam this time, and everyone praised him, so Zhao Shouzheng became the big brother of this year's Yingtian exam.
