    The passenger ship docked at the Dongting Town Pier outside Wuxi City.  Zhao Hao received another grand welcome.

    Taishi Hua, who was already seventy years old, actually went to the dock to greet him in person regardless of his advanced age.

    Of course, it may be that I miss my dear little son too much.

    After all, this is the first time Hua Shu has gone home to visit his relatives since becoming a Jinshi in Yangzhong.

    Zhao Hao hurriedly gave a great gift to Taishi Hua.

    "If you can't use it, you can't abandon the etiquette." Taishi Hua is gray-haired, old, and already slow to move.

    The eldest son Hua Boxhen supported Zhao Hao for him.

    "Although Shu Yang is my sect, I am the same generation as brother Zhitai, so I should meet Duke Hongshan."

    Zhitai is Hua Zhongheng, the second brother of Hua Shuyang.  Hongshan is the title of Taishi Hua in his later years.

    "That's it." Taishi Hua smiled understandingly and didn't force it any further.

    Zhao Hao met Hua Bozhen, the real head of the Hua family, and then got on the carriage and went to Jiatun Garden in Dongting Town.

    The town is not big, and you can reach the door of the house in the blink of an eye.

    Because the ancestral residence of the Hua family was in Dangkou, and Dongting Town was where Hua Cha lived in seclusion in his later years, there was only a stone archway with four pillars and five floors built in front of the house, with the inscription "Hua Xuesifang" written on it.

    And the door of the mansion is also very low-key, not the red door commonly used by wealthy families, but just the black door of ordinary scholars' homes.

    The courtyard walls are simply painted white and gray without any exquisite carvings.  Even the tiles on the wall are ordinary Wuxi black tiles, and there are no carved tile heads that are common in wealthy homes.

    It¡¯s just that the height of the wall stands out, about two feet high

    But Zhao Hao knew that all this was just a cover-up.

    Even the name of this town was changed to Dongting to cover up.

    ??~~

    This place was originally called Longting, also known as Longting.

    After Taishi Hua retired to his hometown, he spent three years and spent a huge amount of money to build a super luxurious mansion called "Jia Dun Yuan".

    "But because it was so extravagant and extravagant, people didn't dare to look up to it. Even the Prince Hou Men's Palace couldn't compare with it. As a result, it attracted the attention of political enemies."

    At that time, Zhao Wenhua, who was patrolling the southeast, arranged for people to impeach him for "living in Longting and building an imperial palace". He was very disobedient and disobedient.

    Fortunately, Taishi Hua had deep connections and had many disciples and old officials all over the world. He knew about this early and quickly changed all the doors to black, plastered the courtyard walls with lime, and replaced all the tiles.

    After discussing with the government, Longting Town, which had been called Dongting Town for hundreds of years, was changed to Dongting Town.

    Only then did he deal with the censor who came to investigate and escaped.

    It was after that, Taishi Hua knew that the Yan Party was still watching him, so he began to withdraw land and liquidate property on a large scale.

    So he didn¡¯t realize it as soon as he came up

    Of course, Taishi Hua later used the same method to knock down Zhao Wenhua, which was considered revenge.

    As for Zhao Wenhua, who was in exile, he suddenly felt severe itching in his abdomen. He scratched his belly with both hands, and his internal organs ruptured and died It has nothing to do with the lawful and kind Taishi Hua.

    ??~~

    As expected, as soon as you enter the garden, your true shape is revealed.  Zhao Hao only saw one scene in five steps, one pavilion in ten steps, Qiong Palace and Langyuan, which was beyond the world.  The luxury and magnificence far exceed the Yanshan Garden and Wang Xijue's garden.

    The welcome banquet is even more exquisite. The utensils do not use any gold or silver, but they are far more valuable than gold and silver.  This was the first time that Zhao Hao saw someone using porcelain from an official kiln as tableware to entertain guests

    ???????????????? If you accidentally knock or fall, you will be heartbroken to death.

    But the host has obviously been used to it for a long time.

    During the banquet, Taishi Hua toasted Zhao Hao and thanked him for his care and cultivation of Hua Shuyang.

    Zhao Hao also picked up the wine glass, first wished the old master a long life, and thanked his second son for his help when he was in Nanjing.

    Of course, there is still juice in the glass.

    Mr. Zhao doesn¡¯t even drink alcohol when dining with Mr. Zhang. Is there no one in the world who can make him break the precept?

    Taishi Hua was already very old. After three rounds of drinking, he excused himself from the banquet with Hua Shuyang's support, leaving his eldest son Hua Zhongheng to accompany Zhao Hao to dine.

    ??~~

    After the luncheon, it was supposed to be the repertoire of a big dog family - a visit to the garden.

    But suddenly there was a heavy rain, which ruined the garden and made Zhao Hao lose his mood.

    So we had tea and watched the rain in the "Zhuo Ying Pavilion" on the elevated water.

    This pavilion has a unique design. Although the windows are open on all sides, not a drop of rain can fall into the pavilion.

    Sitting in this pavilion, facing water on all sides, I can only listen to the secretThe sound of raindrops falling on the lotus leaves makes a reassuring rustling sound.

    "I saw that my dear brother was restless, so I chose to have tea in this water pavilion." Hua Bozhen is actually nearly fifty years old, but he is well maintained and does not show his age.  "Every time it rains, Brother Yu likes to stay here. He will soon forget his worries and feel very peaceful."

    ¡®Well, white noise is a good thing.  ¡¯ Mr. Zhao secretly thought, and then he said to the big dog owneroh no, Hua Boxhen said with a wry smile:

    "This rain has been falling for half a month. Instead of showing any intention of stopping, it is getting heavier and heavier, which makes people very worried."

    My father still lives on the embankment, so he can¡¯t really be washed away by the flood.

    ???????? I have no place to find another father

    "My dear brother, the love between father and son is really deep." Hua Bozhen praised him and comforted him: "Zhao Zhuangyuan is a Wenquxing descended to earth. He has his own divine protection, so he will be fine. Besides, you are far away in Wuxi, so worrying is useless."

    "Even so, I still worry about it blindly." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said: "I am ready to return home, but I have to go to Yangzhou next, which is really helpless."

    "If my dear brother is really worried about Uncle Shi, just turn back." Hua Boxhen then smiled and said, "Go south from Taihu Lake and follow the Xujiang River to the Loujiang River. The flow is all the way and you can reach Kunshan in one day."

    "Hey, to be honest, I still have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and I can't turn back." Zhao Hao waved his hand, stood up and looked at the distant lake.

    "Isn't it just disaster relief food?" Hua Boxhen stood up, patted his shoulder, and said, "My Hua family has it all covered. You can get as much as you want. Wuxi is not enough, and there are also Wujin and Zhenjiang.  If we can¡¯t just buy grain from the Cao River, why can¡¯t we feed a small Kunshan?¡±

    Zhao Haoxin said that if you had said so earlier, wouldn¡¯t I have to act?

    Of course, it is true that I am worried about the second master.

    He turned around and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother helped me so much when we first met. I don't know how to thank you."

    "Hahaha! That's obvious." Hua Bozhen hugged his shoulders and laughed heartily: "We feel like old friends at first sight, and we have been friends for a long time."

    "Yes, when I see my elder brother, I feel like I have met my half-brother." Zhao Hao also smiled happily.

    Both of them felt nauseated, so they distanced themselves without leaving a trace and sat back in their respective seats.

    "In extraordinary times, I won't be polite to my elder brother." Zhao Hao went straight to the point and said: "But there is something I need to make clear to my elder brother. This batch of grain was not purchased directly by me or the county, but through a company called Jiangnan Company  came forward"

    "Jiangnan Company?" Hua Boxhen's eyes lit up as expected: "The kind of Xishan Company?"

    "Absolutely." Zhao Hao nodded.

    "Do you accept the investment?" Hua Boxhen asked immediately.

    "Uh" Zhao Hao twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking to himself, don't be so impatient, okay?  Can you give me some difficulty?

    This way, I don¡¯t have a sense of accomplishment, and I¡¯m also very stressed!

    After all, the company¡¯s profit model only exists for kicking butts Oh no, the plan has not been verified in practice.

    It¡¯s a matter of debate whether it will work or not

    ¡°Hey, it¡¯s so frustrating to be so popular!
