It was quiet on the pier, including the crowd there to greet Zhao Shouzheng. They were all breathless, waiting for Mr. Zhao's best chapter.
Then I heard Mr. Zhao reciting loudly:
"The red clouds come from the sea, illuminating the beautiful feast upstairs above me.
Suddenly, the green wine is reunited.
Across the green hills, guests danced, and each other scratched the earth with their green lotuses.
?????????????????????????????????????????
??If the drunken moon comes to the riverside, this building is the main guest.
Whoever throws the poem into the river will definitely not flow in the east direction of the river! "
"Okay, what a poem!" Everyone cheered loudly.
"What a 'guests dancing across the green hills, each other clearing the lotus and scratching the soil'!" Xuelang shook his head intoxicatedly and said:
"'Whoever throws the poem into the river will definitely not flow east of the river.' With such heroic spirit, it is true that the only one in this dynasty is the benefactor Zhao!"
Zheng Yanru and Qi Jingyun couldn't help but marveled: "This is Mr. Zhao's true level!"
"Mr. Zhao, that's great! Mr. Zhao, I love you!"
"The poets and poets are not as good as Mr. Zhao!" The fans of the Red Mansion Poetry Club followed suit and screamed randomly, feeling guilty.
Zhao Hao accepted the flood of praises from everyone with a normal expression, and secretly felt ashamed in his heart, in fact, last time it was me who changed his mind to suit the occasion. Now it¡¯s just a matter of presenting Mr. Huang¡¯s masterpiece as it is¡
??~~
After the welcoming ceremony on both sides ended, everyone got on their carriages and horses and slowly headed towards the Shicheng Gate.
Zhao Hao was afraid of the crazy fans of the Red Mansion Poetry Club, so under the cover of Gao Wu and Cai Ming, he got into the magistrate's luxurious carriage.
Mr. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief as he slammed the car door shut, cutting off the noisy people outside.
Then I saw Zhang Zhixian, a young old man with a goatee and three concubines, smiling and said: "It seems that he is too popular and is very distressed."
"Don't seniors also have the same trouble?" Zhao Hao then smiled and said: "Why don't you sit in the official sedan instead of sitting in it, and instead take a carriage when you go out?"
"Hey, I was forced to do that." Zhang Zhixian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sitting in an official sedan and going out with a guard of honor is impressive, but the common people also know my whereabouts. Those who stopped the sedan to complain will follow. Those who watch the excitement can annoy people to death."
"Brother, I have seen through it all." Zhang Zhixian said with a proud smile, "What's the use of being uncomfortable with dignity? Being carefree and happy is the right thing to do!"
"The old man is transparent." Zhao Hao smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"By the way, friend Zhao." After the greetings, Zhang Zhixian couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Yu, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Can you not worry about the old man's affairs?" Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I have already said hello to Lu Quancao, that's all."
"Is it really appropriate?"
"That's great."
"Oh, thank you so much, friend Zhao!" Zhang Zhixian was overjoyed. Although there are many mothers-in-law in Jiangning County, it is not pleasant at all. But I can¡¯t stand the chance of making money.
Zhang Zhi County, a man in his sixties, doesn't want to move any more. He just wants to work steadily for another three years, save enough coffin books, and then return to Chengdu with his concubine to retire.
So last year, he asked Zhao Hao to see if he could help him move around so that he could serve as Jiangning County Magistrate again.
"It's just a matter of effort, seniors don't have to worry about it." Zhao Hao smiled faintly.
"How can I? I have to repay my friend Zhao well!" Zhang Zhixian's gratitude is beyond words. But after much thought, he couldn't come up with anything that could catch Zhao Hao's eyes, so the anxious county magistrate rubbed his hands.
"Senior has already helped me a lot by taking care of Xiaocangshan and Caijiaxiang." Zhao Hao smiled empathetically and said, "If you really feel bad about it, why not take the time to talk to my father and teach him some valuable experience."
"Oh, yes, your father will soon be the county magistrate." Zhang Dongguan slapped his forehead and said angrily: "The court is really fooling around. How can they let the top scholar down to be the county magistrate? Isn't this a waste of natural resources?"
"It's time to die together with Mr. Xiaoge." Zhao Hao sighed with a wry smile. Although this is just an excuse, who dares to tell the real reason? Who would believe it?
"That's all, it's useless to talk about the past. Looking forward is the right thing to do." Zhang Zhixian patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, friend Zhao, I will definitely impart my experience as an official over the years and never hide anything!"
"Then I would like to thank my parents for my father." Zhao Hao was overjoyed when he heard this.
Although Zhang Zhixian is greedy and slippery, and he is not a practical person at first glance.
But Zhao Hao has always believed that even a piece of papyrus has its use.
Moreover, it can be a county magistrate where the environment is complex and the princes and nobles are running on the ground. A guy who doesn't feel bitter at all and actually wants to work for another three years must be able to handle all the up and down matters with ease!
The experience summarized by this kind of person is still very usefulas long as you don't lead Dad astray.
??~~
In another carriage, brothers Zhao Shouye and Zhao Shouzheng were also talking affectionately.
"Brother, you really showed off your face to our old Zhao family!"
After not seeing each other for half a year, Zhao Shouye has gained more than three pounds. It seems that he is living a happy life. I saw him saying proudly:
"As soon as the news that you won the top prize came back to Jinling, my brother and I were in a completely different situation. No one among my colleagues dared to laugh at me anymore, and Master Siqing even invited me to a drink. Last month, he even promoted me to a higher rank. , now your brother and I are the fifth-grade Shangbao Shaoqing!"
"That's really good." Zhao Shouzheng smiled happily and said, "I've been demoted and my brother has been promoted, so we're evenly matched inside and out."
"Can it be the same? I'm just an official who lives on his own" Zhao Shouye positioned himself quite accurately. After speaking, he said bitterly: "How can the imperial court treat the new champion in this way? It's simply too unbecoming!"
"Ahem" Zhao Shouye didn't want to talk about this topic because he already knew the truth about what he had revealed.
He now has no complaints against Emperor Longqing.
"They didn't arrest him and kill him, but let him become an official. It was so kind, okay?"
Mr. Zhao will always be grateful to Emperor Longqing for the rest of his life.
"Forget it, let's not mention it." Zhao Shouye sighed and said, "Anyway, Gao Huzi is back, and you will be unlucky as well."
"No, it's the same whether you leave early or late." Zhao Shouzheng nodded with deep understanding.
??~~
While talking, the carriage entered the stone city gate. Less than a mile further, a brand new two-foot-wide bluestone road connected with the official road.
This is the road that Zhao Hao spent a lot of time building to Xiaocang Mountain.
The convoy got off the official road and headed north along Qingshi Road.
The streets are noisy with people shouting and selling.
Zhao Hao opened the car curtain and saw that the road was full of pedestrians and cars, and many shops were open on both sides of the road. There are countless people carrying burdens and pushing carts to do small business.
He was completely unable to connect this place with the desolate and remote place before he left.
Mr. Zhao couldn't help but said happily: "Have you gained popularity so quickly?"
"Of course." Zhang Zhixian smiled and said: "Once this road is built, there will be a shortcut from Shicheng Gate to Qingliang Gate. It has suddenly become a hub with connections in all directions, and naturally it has become popular."
