Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the pouring rain, Zhao Hao nestled on Ma Xianglan's soft and boneless shoulders. The elegant orchid fragrance was refreshing and greatly soothed his soul.

    The disturbing feeling of detachment finally disappeared, and Mr. Zhao finally fell into a deep sleep under Ma Xianglan's gentle patting.

    Seeing that Zhao Hao was standing straight and tilting his head in an uncomfortable posture, Sister Ma carefully hugged his head and let him lie on her lap, then reached out and hooked up the blanket to cover him.

    After doing all this, Ma Xianglan breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered her head and looked at the sleeping face of the young master.

    ¡°Well, without the usual pretense of sophistication, she still looks fresh and pleasant.

    Secretary Ma gently traced the lines of his facial features with her fingers, saying that the young master indeed had a big secret hidden in his heart.

    Sister Xianglan, who is thoughtful and thoughtful, has long noticed that Zhao Hao's words and deeds are different from ordinary people.

    But the thoughtful Sister Xianglan did not delve into the reasons.

    Who doesn¡¯t have their own little secret?

    Well, boys with a sense of mystery are the most attractive.

    ??~~

    When Mr. Zhao came in half-heartedly, he saw his son sleeping peacefully on Ma Xianglan's lap. He slept so sweetly

    Secretary Ma leaned back in his chair and took a nap with his head down.

    Mr. Zhao showed a standard old father¡¯s smile of relief and tiptoed out.

    When the sound of Zhao Shouzheng's footsteps gradually faded away, Secretary Ma blushed and opened his eyes.  She was just pretending to be asleep to cover up her embarrassment.

    After she calmed down her shy mood, she gently woke up Zhao Hao.

    "Sir, wake up."

    "Well." Zhao Hao rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "What's the matter, is it time?"

    "The master was here just now. It seems that I have something to ask you." Ma Xianglan's voice was like a gnat, and she couldn't understand what he was talking about.

    "Oh." Zhao Hao sat up, stretched comfortably and said, "It seems that my father fell into a trap."

    Seeing that his robe was wrinkled, Ma Xianglan wanted to get up and help him straighten it, but she let out a sweet cry and sat back on the recliner.

    "Sister Xianglan, what's wrong with you?" Mr. Zhao blinked.

    "You still ask." Ma Xianglan said angrily and amusedly: "Aren't they always suppressed by someone?"

    After saying that, his face turned red again.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll pressure you back another day.¡± Zhao Hao said with an apologetic expression, ¡°Then we¡¯ll be even.¡±

    Ma Xianglan¡¯s face turned even redder, thinking that the young master is still young, so it¡¯s best to take it literally

    When Ma Xianglan recovered and stood up to help Zhao Hao tidy up his robe, she heard him say calmly:

    "Two things. One is to move to the east courtyard tonight. I can't sleep well in this room."

    "Okay." After seeing his abnormal performance today, Ma Xianglan would have mentioned it even if Zhao Hao hadn't mentioned it.

    "Furthermore, please ask your uncle to find out where the four young ladies who used to serve me are now." Zhao Hao then ordered: "See if we can still find them?"

    "It's the young master." Ma Xianglan asked softly: "If the uncle asks why you are looking for them, how should you answer? Invite them back again?"

    In fact, it was what she wanted to ask herself

    Zhao Hao shook his head: "Let the past be in the past. Then you can help them and make their life better."

    "Young master is really kind." Ma Xianglan tied the silk ribbon for Zhao Hao.

    "No, just to make myself feel at ease." Mr. Zhao looked at himself in the silver mirror, and the feeling that he was not himself finally completely disappeared.

    There is no non-self, I am who I am, unique in heaven and on earth!

    ??~~

    When Zhao Hao came to the study room in the main courtyard, he saw his father, uncle, and Jin Xuezeng looking worried.

    "Hey, what do you think we should do? It's so unlucky."

    "How about you also learn from me? Let's just stay in the hospital. Can they still carry you to the embankment?"

    "It really doesn't work. Master, let's switch. You go to the island for me, and I'll fight the flood for you!"

    "What's going on?" Mr. Zhao stepped in and asked, "Is the situation not ideal?"

    "It's not ideal." Zhao Shouye sighed depressedly: "Your father was sent to act in Kunshan County and can't go to Wu County to take up the post"

    "Son, you've got to tell me, they have made up their mind not to let my father enter Suzhou City." When Zhao Shouzheng saw his son, he felt like he was seeing his backbone, and he quickly asked him to come and sit down.

    Jin Xuezeng stood up and gave up his seat to Master, and Zhao Hao walked byHe went to sit down, took the tea cup offered by his disciple, and asked, "What's the reason for going to Kunshan?"

    "Kunshan County Magistrate Ding You is worried. The overall situation of flood control is necessary." Zhao Shouzheng said helplessly: "If I don't agree, it will be disobedience. I will ask Governor Yingtian to ask the king to chop off my dog's head."

    "They are trying to scare you." Zhao Hao comforted you with a wry smile: "But in the overall situation of flood control, you really can't bargain."

    "That's true. If you don't disobey orders at this time, someone will stab you in the back." Zhao Shouye nodded with deep understanding, and then said depressedly: "Well, everyone says that Suzhou is a paradise on earth, but Kunshan is an exception. That's a place.  It¡¯s living hell¡­¡±

    Jin Xuezeng said in his heart that Chongming is not much better.  But this is a trial arranged by Master for me. I am honored, proud, and willing to accept it!

    "When I was in Beijing, I heard Cao Lu Quan say that the officials in various counties in Suzhou were short of fat and thin." Zhao Hao drank tea and said with a smile: "It seems to be called 'Gold Taicang Yin Jiading, Tong Changshu Tie Chongming, Tofu Wujiang, Beggar'  Kunshan, Zhichangzhou Hollow Wu County.¡±

    "That's right. There are always wrong names, not wrong nicknames. Listen, 'Belling Flower Kunshan', is that a place where people can go?" Zhao Shouye said with a frown.

    "Why is it so miserable?" Jin Xuezeng was only focused on studying Chongming these days and didn't know much about the situation in other states and counties.

    "Just one reason, Wa." Zhao Shouye turned over the lid of the teacup and placed it on the coffee table.  Pointing to the depression in the center of the lid, he said, "Kunshan is right here."

    As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and said, "This is Taihu Lake."

    Then Zhao Shouye slowly poured the tea into the edge of the cup lid.  The tea naturally flows along the tilted lid and into the depression in the center, and it is full in no time.

    "Every year from the beginning of the plum season to September, Taihu Lake will flood. The counties along the coast are higher and suffer less damage. Kunshan County, which is not close to Taihu Lake, has a low-lying terrain and has become a flood discharge area for Taihu Lake.  The place." He said with a solemn expression:

    "As a result, from May to September, two-thirds of Kunshan County was soaked in water. Even the mulberry trees and cotton could not survive, and rice could only be grown for one season. If the plum blossoms came early, the harvest would be lost The people who stayed at home had to survive.  If they starve to death, they can only go to places like Suzhou City, Taicang, and Huating to work for others to make a living. There are also many people who make a living by singing and begging, which is why Kunshan has the bad name of beggar."

    "Uncle really understands it." The way Zhao Shouye talked so eloquently made Zhao Hao look at him with admiration.

    "Don't look at uncle like this, I also served as a chief in the Dushui Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing." Zhao Shouye was very proud. This was the first time that he was praised by his nephew.

    Cool!
