"You must hold on......"

Zhao Shouzheng put his hands on Zhao Hao's shoulders and looked at him with an unbearable face.

Zhao Hao's heart twitched, and he couldn't help but secretly say: 'Could it be that I am not his own child?' ’

His brain was in a mess, and Zhao Hao suddenly heard bursts of sobbing in the courtyard outside, and the voices were both male and female, as if he had heard some terrible news.

Fortunately, Zhao Shouzheng didn't drop his bookbag anymore, and used the simplest language to let Zhao Hao understand the current situation.

"Your grandfather suffered a great disaster in Jingcha this time, and now he has been detained in the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate for three full days. Your uncle begged everywhere, and finally met the minister. Guo Butang told him that if he could pay off 100,000 taels within three days, he could still try to cover up the past. ”

Zhao Shouzheng is actually a pampered son, where has he ever suffered such a drastic change in his life? I don't know what to do.

"If you can't do it, then everything is over......"

"So what?" Zhao Hao asked with a sluggish expression, still holding the last trace of luck in his heart, hoping that it would not affect his life too much.

"Therefore, your uncle took the initiative to sell the family property, and sold our family's land and property, as well as this house. And he put all the things of value into it, and just like that, there is still a deficit of 50,000 taels that cannot be filled......"

"So......" Zhao Hao's mouth was dry for a while, and he pointed to the expensive furnishings in the house. None of this is ours? ”

"yes, not at all. Within five days, we will have to leave the house, and all the subordinates will be dismissed. After Zhao Shouzheng finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh heartbreakingly: "The flowing water falls and the flowers go in spring, and the heavens and the earth are ......" Don't look over sadly, I don't want my son to see that I look like a mourner.

Zhao Hao was stunned, what kind of god reversal is this?

He wanted to hit the pillar again and cross back.

。

After noon, the warm sunlight sprinkled in the back garden of Zhao's mansion.

Although it is the end of winter in February, it is still difficult to hide the rockery and flowing water in this garden, and the beauty of the pavilions and pavilions is beautiful.

'Unfortunately, it's someone else's......

Zhao Hao's father and son sat on the stone bench by the pool, and thought in unison.

The sun is not too warm at this time, but father and son can only stay here. Because the person who took over the property in the house had arrived, and at this moment they were moving out the valuable things in the room one by one, and counting and packing them in front of the father and son.

"A pair of Yuan blue and white dragon amphora bottles."

"Wen Zhengming's "Orchid Bamboo Picture Axis" set of ......"

"Two pieces of Shangpintian Huangshi carvings......"

"Be careful, it's all our Zhang family'......"

A middle-aged man with a goatee and the appearance of a bookkeeper reminded with a sharp voice while counting the harvest.

Every time he counted, it was like a knife in Zhao Shouzheng's heart, making him tremble involuntarily.

Zhao Hao understands Zhao Shouzheng's pain very well.

Even a person like him, who has only enjoyed a rich life for less than half an hour, finds it difficult to accept. What's more, these things were all collected by Zhao Shouzheng one by one.

Father and son sat in the garden, not even knowing when they had left.

。

It wasn't until the sun was sinking in the west that Zhao Shouzheng was awakened by the cold breeze, and when he glanced at Zhao Hao, who was still silent, he slapped his forehead suddenly.

"Damn, why do you only care about your own sadness, but forget your son!"

Zhao Hao also came back to his senses when he heard this, and said with a forced smile: "I'm fine......"

"As the saying goes, 'go to the poor place of the water and sit and watch the clouds rise', son, look at the point." Zhao Shouzheng patted Zhao Hao's shoulder and comforted him in a low voice: "I just thought of a way out for my father." Believe me, the difficulties are only temporary, and we still have a future. ”

"What's the backhand?"

Zhao Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this, listening to this meaning, it seemed that the sky was endless!

"You forgot? Last year, your grandfather helped you set up a family affair, and your future father-in-law is a Suzhou giant businessman living in Nanjing, with a family fortune of no less than one million! ”

"Really?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but gasp. This million is not comparable to the million in 400 years! This is the meaning of a million taels of silver, and if you have to make an analogy, it will at least be attained by future billionaires.

"Is that still fake? Haven't you heard of 'Drill the Sky Cave Everywhere'? Your future father-in-law is the vice president of the Suzhou Dongting Chamber of Commerce, and he is a huge rich man who can compete with our Hui businessmen! ”

"Ah......" Zhao Hao couldn't help but marvel, he didn't expect his father-in-law to be so violent! But after thinking about it, his grandfather was a dignified household servant, and he held a lot of power, so it seemed that the family was higher than the other party, so there was nothing unusual.

"Turning back for my father to urge my in-laws to get married as soon as possible, the daughter-in-law's dowry will inevitably be rich, and then the husband and wife will be one, what else does my son have to worry about?" Zhao Shouzheng was planning for his son with a serious face, and he didn't seem to be ashamed of letting his son eat soft rice.

"But our family is in trouble, can people still recognize this family?"

Zhao Hao had actually thought about the feasibility of this matter. Sure enough, it's not a family, and it doesn't enter a family.

"Of course you have to admit it, can you regret the marriage contract made in black and red?" Zhao Shouzheng's eyes widened.

"What if?" Zhao Hao is not so blindly optimistic, after all, he has not gone through great luck in his two lives.

"Don't be afraid in case!" But listening to Zhao Shouzheng's reserved smile, he said a little mysteriously: "Let me tell you a secret." Your grandfather also set a family affair for my father! Saying that, he arched his fists with both hands, and said with Yourongyan: "My future father-in-law is my Nanjing Guozi priest wine!" The dignified Hanlin is clear, and he will never shamelessly regret his marriage. ”

After speaking, Zhao Shouzheng said confidently: "So son, don't worry, you won't be left without landing." ”

"Oh......" Zhao Hao let out a long sigh of relief, and then let go of his worries about his livelihood and cared about the fate of his cheap grandfather.

"Grandpa, why are you so ruthless? So much greed for 100,000 taels? ”

According to what Zhao Hao learned in his previous life, the Ming Dynasty's taxes were mainly in kind, and the silver collected was not much. In addition, in the past few years, the Japanese pirates were rampant, and the tax revenue of the imperial court dropped sharply, as if the national income was only more than two million taels......

Zhao Shilang actually dared to hack so many people by himself, don't you really know how to write dead words?

"Alas, although the old man has some family care, he is by no means a bold person." But he saw Zhao Shouzheng shaking his head and saying: "Look at our family, we have only saved 50,000 taels after 20 years of life and gathering?" Where is he greedy so much? ”

"That's ......," Zhao Hao asked with a slight frown.

"In fact, it is the accounts of the ministry, and a hole of 100,000 taels has been found." Zhao Shouzheng spread his hands and said: "In addition to the salt introduction, your grandfather is also in charge of the accounts of the ministry, so it is naturally difficult to escape the blame." ”

"Oh, it turns out that the old man is just a bookkeeper. There are bigger officials at the top, and there are people at the bottom who are specifically handled. Zhao Hao was puzzled: "Why did it become his responsibility in the end?" ”

"Uh......" Zhao Shouzheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded deeply and said, "Yes!" There are Shangshu and Zuo Shilang above, and there is also a Lang official at the bottom, these people are 'looking for peas in the quail and splitting the meat on the legs of the heron', which one makes less money? It's disgusting to let your grandfather suffer only now! ”

Zhao Shouzheng was angry, and kicked the rockery next to him hard, so painful that he hugged his feet and gasped.

"Don't tell me, you just thought of it now......" Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shouzheng in disbelief, even he, who had just arrived, felt that there was something wrong when he heard it. Could it be that this second-generation official, who was born and raised, has never thought about this?

"You know, for the sake of my father, I only read the books of the sages, and I have never been at home." Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and replied in a low voice: "What's going on, I don't want to ...... Qing Province."

"Then grandpa will answer?" Zhao Haoxin said that Zhao Shilang has been mixed in the officialdom for 30 years, so he can't see through it, right?

"Alas, don't mention it......" saw Zhao Shouzheng's face full of worry and said: "After the incident, your grandfather was locked up in the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Your uncle and I haven't seen him until this time......"

"Oh?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but sit up straight, folded his arms and pondered.

Zhao Shouzheng really doted on Zhao Hao very much, and when he saw that he was pretending to think, he didn't urge to interrupt, just guarded quietly beside him.

Suddenly, a heavy footstep came from the direction of the Hanging Flower Gate.
