Chapter 81: The Decency of the Seventh Rank Official
The next day, before dawn, the small courtyard of the Zhao family was already brightly lit.
After Zhao Jin got up early and had breakfast, he freshened up with the help of Fang Wen, put on official boots and robes, and tied the long-lost leather belt.
When he walked out of the east wing with a black gauze hat in his hand, Zhao Hao's father and son were already waiting in the courtyard.
"Haha, it's different, it's completely different." Zhao Shouzheng stroked his palms and smiled: "The old nephew looks ten years younger. ”
Zhao Hao pointed to a four-lift sedan chair outside the door and said with a smile: "Brother, please get on the sedan chair." ”
"There's Brother Lao Xian." Zhao Jin shook Zhao Hao's hand gratefully, he was worried about how to go to the yamen Yingmao? Dignified seven-grade official, walking is too undignified.
At least a donkey has to ride it...... In fact, the vast majority of the imperial historians, as well as the seven-rank officials of the Qingshui Yamen in the two capitals, could not afford to sit in a sedan chair at all, and even had no money to raise horses, so they could only ride a donkey and let an old servant make do with an umbrella and lead the donkey.
It's just that such a shabby walk through the street is going to be laughed at all the way.
Zhao Jin was worried for a long time, but he didn't expect Zhao Hao to be silent, and he helped him arrange everything.
And there are four red-clad sedan chair drivers, and an umbrella driver who plays an umbrella, and Yu Peng who opens the way with a 'Fengxian' lantern.
"Time is in a hurry, so I can only rent a sedan chair to make do with it." Zhao Hao smiled and beckoned Yu Peng to come over and said: "I discussed with the old chief, so let Yu Peng charge the old brother for a few days first, and in the future, if the brother finds a satisfactory one, he will return to the store." ”
It's okay now, the decency that a seventh-grade official should have, there is no shortage of it!
"The virtuous brother really hurts people, and the foolish brother is really a blessing." Zhao Jin was moved to tears, only to feel that this virtuous brother was the best person in the world for himself.
"My own brother, if you say this, you will see the outside." Zhao Hao smiled and sent him into the sedan chair and said, "Brother, hurry up, don't miss the hour." ”
"Okay, see you in the evening." Zhao Jin beckoned to him, and then slowly lowered the sedan curtain.
"Get up the sedan ......" Yu Peng sang: "Master Yushi is on the street!" ”
The sedan chair man lifted the sedan chair steadily, and under the guidance of a pair of lanterns, slowly walked out of Caijia Lane.
Watching Zhao Jin's sedan chair go away, Zhao Hao breathed a long sigh of relief.
He was actually a little worried that Zhao Jin was the kind of snob who could share weal and worn, not wealth and nobility. In case this guy gets up from sleep and doesn't recognize himself as a little brother, won't this cold stove be in vain?
Fortunately, Zhao Jin not only did not have a part, but became more affectionate.
Zhao Hao rubbed the back of his hand that was holding painfully, and put his heart back on his stomach.
When he turned his head, he found that Zhao Shouzheng was still stretching his neck, watching Zhao Jin's sedan chair go away.
"My father has such a deep relationship with my brother?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but wonder.
"I envy his palanquin." Zhao Shouzheng swallowed his saliva and said: "Your father and I have been sitting for more than ten years, and suddenly I don't have to sit, and my heart is empty." ”
"It's up to my father." Zhao Hao said earnestly: "You are just a prisoner now, even if I buy you a sedan chair, can you sit and go to school?" ”
"That can't be, if Gou Xuezheng sees it, he will scold me to death." Zhao Shouzheng smiled bitterly and said slyly: "At the beginning, I always let people get off the sedan chair outside the archway, and then walked in by myself. ”
"What's it like to be a thief?" Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and said in a muffled voice: "When you win the lift, I will buy you a brand-new sedan chair immediately, and then complete the sedan chair and umbrella driver!" ”
"Alas......" Zhao Shouzheng's expression suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he was about to say something, but he immediately remembered that today was a good day for his son, so he stopped talking stiffly, grabbed Zhao Hao's shoulder and smiled: "You just wait to break the bill!" ”
The father and son returned to the courtyard while talking, and Qiaoqiao brought breakfast.
Today, I want to prepare two sets of breakfast, Qiaoqiao wrapped a small wonton, with a soup base boiled with bones, plus a little bit of extremely fresh powder, with green green onions, and the father and son were very ironed.
"Qiaoqiao's cooking is getting better and better, and I have to add money." Zhao Shouzheng drank the soup while stinging, and praised without a mouth: "You have only been here for a few days, and I have gained several pounds." ”
"It's good if the master doesn't dislike it." Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and smiled, looking at Zhao Hao proudly, expecting his praise.
Zhao Hao looked at the restaurant that was already lit up in front of him, and began to worry about whether Xuelang could invite the gourmets of Nanjing City......
As long as people come, he has faith to shake them. But if no one comes, he just does everything he can, and no one buys it?
Seeing that he didn't react at all, Qiaoqiao pouted depressedly and went down with the tray.
"Hey, it's so fragrant......" At this time, Fan Datong came in from outside, and happened to meet with Qiaojiao, and he took down the big sea bowl on the tray.
In the sea bowl, there are wontons that Qiaoqiao prepared for the father and son, and the father and son are full and have most of the bowl left.
Fan Datong held the big bowl and ate it with a spoon.
Zhao Shouzheng saw that he was rare and new, and he actually wore a New Tang Dynasty scarf on his head, and couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Xian, do you want to go on a blind date?" ”
"Poof......" Fan Datong almost squirted out, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, so that he didn't waste the wontons in his mouth.
For a long time, he swallowed hard to eat, and smiled at Zhao Shouzheng: "Isn't this the order of your son to come to the restaurant as a welcome?" ”
"Oh." Zhao Shouzheng suddenly, looking at Fan Datong for a long time, Fang nodded and said: "You have a flamboyant tongue to come to trouble, it is just right to do this." ”
"Brother, doesn't this look like you're boasting about people? I'm a prisoner anyway. Fan Datong protested while drinking soup.
"Prisoner? How many times have you been in prison? Zhao Shouzheng glared at him and said, "I see that you want to give up the exam again this year." ”
Fan Datong also accompanied Zhao Shouzheng to sit in prison for a few days at the beginning, and soon he couldn't stand the restraint. Anyway, he and Zhao Hao are also familiar with each other, and they can come to the door to eat without Zhao Shouzheng leading them, so they simply don't go to the Guozijian to show up, and when they are hungry, they come directly to eat, and if they are not hungry, they will not see anyone for a few days.
However, Zhao Hao's restaurant has recently hired people, and he still runs here quite diligently.
After the three of them finished eating, the sky was bright outside, and they came to the front of the restaurant together.
I saw that in the morning light, a slender girl with slender eyebrows and thin willows stopped outside the door of the restaurant with a lyre.
"The store hasn't opened yet."
Wu Yu, who was guarding the door, stopped her from entering, and only listened to her voice like a warbler's cry, which was very beautiful:
"Ma Xianglan, a slave, is a pianist invited by your owner."
In the distance, Zhao Shouzheng opened his mouth wide in surprise. "Ma Shilan?"
"Ma Xianglan." Fan Datong's mouth opened wider than Zhao Shouzheng. "She's really here?"
The two looked at Zhao Hao at the same time, but saw Zhao Gongzi put on an unfathomable expression, walked to the door of the store with his hands behind his back, and said to Wu Yu: "Yes, I invited the person." ”
Wu Yu hurriedly got out of the way, and Ma Xianglan was surprised when she heard this, obviously she didn't expect Zhao Hao to be a half-sized man......
But that surprise was fleeting, and Ma Xianglan quickly adjusted her mood and looked at Zhao Hao's graceful blessing.
Zhao Hao nodded, took her into the store, pointed to the wooden platform in the corner, and smiled: "I worked hard today." ”
After speaking, Zhao Hao went upstairs without saying a word.
Ma Xianglan was slightly stunned for a while, and then walked to the wooden platform, straightened the lyre, and sat down on the pestle.
After trying the notes and tuning the strings, she put her hands together and played a light piano song.
