Chapter 10 The present is not what it used to be

"Listen up!"

The dock was quiet, including the crowd that greeted Zhao Shouzheng over there, and they were all breathless, waiting for Zhao Gongzi's good story.

I heard Zhao Gongzi chant aloud:

"The red glow comes from the sea, and the feast opens upstairs to me.

The pouring of green wine is suddenly exhausted, and the building is in peace?

The guests on the opposite side of the green mountains danced, and each other's green lotuses were swept into the soil.

If you talk about seven feet to basil, this building is the main guest mountain.

If you talk about the drunken moon to the riverside, this building is the main mountain is the guest.

Whoever throws the poem scroll into the river will not flow to the east of the river! ”

"Good, good poetry!" And the people did not have a word to cheer.

"What a 'dancing on the other side of the green mountain, clearing each other's lotus'!" Xue Lang shook his head intoxicated and said:

"'Whoever throws the poem scroll into the river, it will not flow to the east of the river', this heroic spirit, sure enough, there is only Zhao Shizhu in this dynasty!"

Zheng Yanru and Qi Jingyun couldn't help but admire: "This is the true level of Zhao Gongzi!" ”

"Zhao Gongzi, it's great! Zhao Gongzi, I love you! ”

"Shixian Shisheng can't compare to Zhao Gongzi!" The fans of the Red Mansion Poetry Society also screamed indiscriminately, and they didn't feel sorry.

Zhao Hao's face accepted the praise of everyone like a tide as usual, and he was secretly ashamed in his heart, in fact, last time it was this son who changed his anger in order to meet the situation. 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 the carriage and slowly marched towards the stone city gate.

Zhao Hao was afraid of the crazy fans of the Red Chamber Poetry Society, and under the cover of Gao Wu and Cai Ming, he got into the luxurious carriage of the county magistrate.

Closing the car door with a bang, cutting off the noisy voices outside, Zhao Gongzi breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw Zhang Zhixian, a little old man with a goatee and a three-room concubine, and said with a smile: "It seems that it is too popular and distressed." ”

"Don't the old-timers have the same troubles?" Zhao Hao smiled and said: "Otherwise, if you don't sit in the official sedan chair, you will go out and take a carriage?" ”

"Hey, this official was forced." Zhang Zhixian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Going out in an official sedan chair with a guard of honor, although it is majestic, but the common people also know the whereabouts of the old man." Those who stop the sedan chair to complain, follow the lively ones, and can annoy people to death. ”

"Brother, I've seen it through." Zhang Zhixian said with a smug smile: "What's the use of making people uncomfortable with decency?" Joy is serious! ”

"Old-timers are transparent." Zhao Hao smiled and praised it.

"That's right, friend Zhao." After greetings, Zhang Zhixian couldn't wait to ask, "Brother foolish, please ask for your business?" ”

"Can you not take the matter of the old-timers to heart?" Zhao Hao smiled and said, "I said hello to Lu Quancao, it's okay." ”

"Really?"

"That's right."

"Oops, thank you so much Friend Zhao!" Zhang Zhixian was overjoyed. Although there are many mothers-in-law in Jiangning County, they are not happy at all. can't stand up to make money.

Zhang Zhixian has more than 60 people, and he doesn't want to move anymore, so he wants to work in peace and stability for another three years, save enough coffin books, and then take his concubine back to Chengdu to retire.

So last year, he asked Zhao Hao to see if he could help with the activity and let him serve as the magistrate of Jiangning County again.

"It's just a gesture, and the old-timers don't have to care." Zhao Hao smiled faintly.

"How can it? This official has to repay Zhao's friend well! Zhang Zhixian's gratitude is beyond words. After thinking about it, he couldn't come up with anything that could enter Zhao Hao's eyes, and the anxious county master rubbed his hands.

"The old-timers have helped me take care of Xiaocangshan and Caijiaxiang, and they have already helped me a lot." Zhao Hao smiled understandingly: "If you really don't want to go, it's better to take the time to talk to my father and teach him some valuable experience." ”

"Oh yes, Ling Zun is about to become a magistrate." Zhang Dongguan slapped his forehead and said with an angry face: "The imperial court is really messing around, how can you put down the dignified champion Yuanlang to be the magistrate of the county?" Isn't this a tyrannical thing? ”

"I'm going to die with the little pavilion elder." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and sighed. Although this is just a pretext, who dares to say the real reason? Who believes it!

"That's it, it's useless to talk about the past, and it's the right thing to do if you look forward." Zhang Zhixian patted his chest and said: "Friend Zhao, rest assured, this official will definitely teach him many years of experience as an official, and he will never hide his personal interests!" ”

"Then thank my old parents for my father." Zhao Hao was overjoyed when he heard this.

Although Zhang Zhixian is greedy for money, and he is not a doer at first glance.

But Zhao Hao has always believed that even a piece of papyrus paper has his usefulness.

What's more, he can be a stable county magistrate in a place like Nanjing City, where the environment is complex and the princes and nobles are running all over the place. The guy who doesn't think it's bitter at all, and actually wants to work for another three years will definitely handle things up and down with ease!

The experience of such people is still very useful...... As long as you don't lead Daddy astray.

~~

In another carriage, Zhao Shouye and Zhao Shouzheng, brothers, were also talking affectionately.

"Brother, you really showed a big face to our old Zhao family!"

I haven't seen him for half a year, Zhao Shouye has gained more than three laps, and it seems that he has a good life. I saw him say with a smug face:

"As soon as the news of your winning title came back to Jinling, my brother's situation was immediately different. No one in my colleagues dared to laugh at me anymore, and Lord Siqing also invited me to drink. Last month, he also helped me get promoted to the next level, and now your brother and I are Shangbao Shaoqing from the fifth grade! ”

"That's pretty good." Zhao Shouzheng smiled happily: "I have lowered my eldest brother and promoted it, and it is even better inside and out." ”

"Can that be the same? I'm just an official who eats idle meals......" Zhao Shouye's self-positioning is quite accurate, and after speaking, he said hatefully: "How can the imperial court treat the new champion like this?" It's just out of place! ”

"Ahem......" Zhao Shouye didn't want to talk about this topic, because he already knew the truth about his release.

He has no complaints about Emperor Longqing now.

They didn't arrest him and kill him, and let him out to be an official, it's just too merciful, okay?

Second Master Zhao has to thank Emperor Longqing for the rest of his life.

"That's it, don't mention it." Zhao Shouye sighed and said, "Anyway, the tall beard is back, and you are just as unlucky." ”

"No, it's the same if you leave early or late." Zhao Shouzheng nodded thoughtfully.

~~

While speaking, the carriage entered the stone city gate, and less than a mile forward, he saw a brand-new two-zhang wide bluestone road connecting with the official road.

This is the road that Zhao Hao took a lot of effort to build, and it leads to Xiaocang Mountain.

The convoy got off the official road and headed north along the bluestone road.

The streets are noisy and shouting.

Zhao Hao opened the curtain, only to see that the road was full of pedestrians and cars, and there were already many shops on both sides of the road. There are countless people who carry burdens and push carts to do small business.

He couldn't connect this place with the desolate and remote place he had left before.

Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Gathering popularity so quickly? ”

"Of course." Zhang Zhixian said with a smile: "As soon as this road is repaired, there will be a shortcut from Shicheng Gate to Qingliang Gate." It suddenly became a hub in all directions, and naturally it became popular all of a sudden. ”

ps. The fifth update, ask for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket~~~
