Chapter 66: What Should I Do If I'm Too Popular?

The passenger ship stopped at the wharf of Dongting Town outside the city of Wuxi. Zhao Hao received another grand welcome.

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

Of course, it may also be that he misses his dear little son too much.

After all, this is the first time that Hua Shuyang has gone home to visit relatives after being a junior sergeant.

Zhao Hao hurriedly gave a big gift to Hua Taishi.

"You can't do it, and you can't waste it." Hua Taishi is gray-haired, old, and slow.

The eldest son, Hua Bozhen, supported Zhao Hao for him.

"Although Shuyang worships under my door, the younger generation is the same as Brother Zhitai, and he has seen Hongshan Gong since he was the junior."

Zhitai is Hua Shuyang's second brother Hua Zhongheng. Hongshan is the name of Hua Taishi in his later years.

"That's right." Hua Taishi smiled and smiled in understanding, and did not force it again.

Zhao Hao greeted Hua Bozhen, the real head of the Hua family, and got into a carriage and went to Jiayun Garden in Dongting Town.

The town is not big, and you will be at the gate of the house in the blink of an eye.

Because the ancestral house of the Hua family is in Dangkou, Dongting Town is the place where Huacha lived in seclusion in his later years, so only a stone archway with four pillars and five floors was built in front of the house, and the book 'Hua Bachelor's Workshop' was just that.

And the door is also very low-key, not the red door commonly used by high-ranking families, but the black lacquer door of ordinary scholars.

The courtyard wall is simply painted into white plaster, without any exquisite carvings. Even the tiles on the wall are ordinary Wuxi black tiles, and there are no carved tiles common to large households.

It's just that the height of the wall stands out from the crowd, 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 for disguise.

~~

This place was originally called Longting, also called Longting.

After Hua Taishi retired to his hometown, he spent three years and spent a lot of money here to build an ultra-luxurious mansion, called 'Jiayun Garden'.

But because it was too extravagant, people didn't dare to look up, although the Houmen Mansion was also incomparable, and as a result, it attracted the attention of political enemies.

Zhao Wenhua, who was inspecting the southeast at that time, arranged for someone to impeach him for 'living in the Dragon Court and building the imperial palace', which had a great desire to exceed the system and not be subordinate.

Fortunately, Hua Taishi was well-connected, and his protΓ©gΓ©s were all over the world, so he knew about it early, and quickly replaced all the gates with black, and painted the courtyard walls with lime, and then replaced all the tiles.

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

Only then did he cope with the imperial history who came to investigate and escaped.

It was also after that that Hua Taishi knew that Yan Dang was still staring at him, so he began to return the land on a large scale and clear the property.

So he didn't come up with a big idea......

Of course, later Hua Taishi also used the same method to overthrow Zhao Wenhua, which can be regarded as revenge.

As for Zhao Wenhua's exile, he suddenly had a strange itch in his abdomen, and he used his hands to tear his belly raw, and his internal organs were ruptured and he died...... It has nothing to do with the orderly and kind Hua Taishi.

~~

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the garden, the original shape was suddenly revealed. Zhao Hao only saw five steps and one scene, ten steps and one pavilion, Qionggong Langyuan, meaning out of the world. The luxury and magnificence far surpass the Yishan Garden and the garden of Wang Xijue's house.

The welcome banquet is even more exquisite, and the utensils do not use any gold or silver, but the value far exceeds that of gold and silver. It was the first time Zhao Hao had seen someone use porcelain from the official kiln as tableware to entertain guests......

If you accidentally knock and fall, you won't have to die of distress.

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

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

Zhao Hao also picked up his wine glass, first wished the old lady 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.

Zhao Gongzi doesn't even drink alcohol when he eats with Zhang Xianggong, I'm afraid that no one in the world can let him break his vows, right?

Hua Taishi was old, and after three rounds of drinking, he confessed and left the table with the support of Hua Shuyang, leaving his eldest son Hua Zhongheng to accompany Zhao Hao to dine.

~~

After the luncheon, it was supposed to be a visit to the garden, which was the reserved program of the big dog family.

But suddenly, the rainstorm was like a torrential rain, which made the garden soak up the soup and made Zhao Hao lose his mood.

It was changed to eat tea and watch the rain in the 'Mao Ying Pavilion' called the elevated water.

The design of this pavilion is unique, although the windows are open on all sides, there is still not a drop of rain that can fall into the pavilion.

Sitting in this pavilion, facing the water on all sides, only to listen to the dense sound of rain dripping lotus leaves, making a reassuring rustling sound.

"Seeing that the virtuous brother was restless, he chose to eat tea in this water pavilion." Hua Bozhen is actually nearly fifty years old, but she is very well maintained and does not show her age. "Every time it rains, the foolish brother likes to stay here, and soon forgets his worries and feels very peaceful."

'Well, white noise is good stuff. Zhao Gongzi said secretly, and then said to the dog...... Oh no, Hua Bozhen smiled bitterly:

"This rain has been going on for the second half of the month, but instead of stopping, it is getting heavier and heavier, which makes people very worried."

My dad still lives on the embankment, but don't let the water wash it away.

There's nowhere else to find a father......

"Brother Xian is really a father and son." Hua Bozhen praised him and comforted him: "Zhao Zhuangyuan is a Wenqu star who has descended to earth, and he has his own gods to protect his body, so he will be fine." Besides, you are far away in Wuxi, and it is useless to worry. ”

"That being said, it's still a matter of worrying." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said: "I am already like an arrow, but I have to go to Yangzhou next, which is really helpless." ”

"If Brother Xian is really worried about Uncle Shi, just turn back." Hua Bozhen said with a smile: "From Taihu Lake to the south, along the Xu River and the Loujiang River, all the way is downstream, and you can reach Kunshan in one day." ”

"Hey, it's not a secret, there is still a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and I can't turn back." Zhao Hao waved his hand, got up and looked at the lake far away.

"Isn't it disaster relief food?" Hua Bozhen got up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "My Hua family is all-inclusive, how much do you want." Wuxi is not enough, there are Wujin and Zhenjiang, it is really not possible to buy grain directly, why can't you feed a small Kunshan? ”

Zhao Haoxin said that you said so earlier, don't I have to act?

Of course, I'm worried that the second master is true.

He turned his head and said with tears in his eyes: "The first time I met my brother, I helped me so much, and my younger brother didn't know how to thank him." ”

"Hahaha! That's not what you can see. Hua Bozhen put his arm around his shoulders and laughed heartily: "We are called like acquaintances at first sight, and we have been friends for a long time." ”

"Yes, when the younger brother sees the eldest brother, he also feels that he has met a half-brother." Zhao Hao also smiled happily.

Both of them felt sickened, so they pulled away without a trace and sat back in their respective seats.

"In extraordinary times, the younger brother will not be polite to the eldest brother." Zhao Hao went straight to the point and said: "But there is something to make clear to the eldest brother." This batch of grain was not purchased directly by me or the county, but through a company called Jiangnan......"

"Jiangnan Company?" Hua Bozhen's eyes lit up and said, "What kind of Xishan Company? ”

"Pretty much." Zhao Hao nodded.

"Do you accept shares?" I only heard Hua Bozhen ask next.

"Uh......" The corners of Zhao Hao's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, don't be so impatient, okay? Is it okay to give a little difficulty?

In this way, my son has no sense of accomplishment, and he is also very stressed!

After all, the company's profit model only exists in the butt kick...... Oh no, the plan hasn't been actually verified.

Can it be made or not......

Hey, it's so popular and distressing!

ps. Second Update. I'm ashamed that I only saved two shifts in two days...... Let's continue at noon.
