Zhao Liben and Zhao Xian were waiting for his father and son, and there was no need to eat at this time.

The maid brought the exquisite Huaiyang dishes, and the four grandchildren chatted while eating in the flower hall.

Zhao Shouzheng was very hungry, took a cup of stewed crab roe lion's head, and while eating it, he complained a little: "Zhao Xian, your kid is so unreliable, and he won't go back to report the news when he finds his grandfather, so I and your father have been worrying about me." ”

Zhao Xian hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Grandpa didn't allow me to say it." ”

Zhao Shouzheng swallowed the meat in his mouth hard, and said to Zhao Liben in a muffled voice: Dad, you have hidden so much from us, and your life is more comfortable than in Nanjing. But it made us suffer for more than half a year. ”

"Without that half-year suffering, would you be the one you are now?" Zhao Liben took a sip of wine, squinted his eyes and sneered:

"I had made up my mind to leave you alone for three years. If you weren't still competitive, you wouldn't want to see Lao Tzu at this time. ”

Saying that, he smiled at Zhao Hao and Yan Yuese: "Good grandson, grandpa knows everything you do, you did a good job." Especially after handling the Qian family and the Liu family, I was really angry with your grandfather. ”

Although he was triumphant, he never forgot his form, and he didn't mention anything about the Zhou sacrifice wine.

But Zhao Hao couldn't guess the origin of the letter at this time?

But he didn't mention it either, and only smiled and coaxed the old man to be happy.

"Dad, isn't our family defeated? Why does it look wider than before? Zhao Shouzheng and the old man drank three rounds, and finally couldn't help asking.

"The cunning rabbit is still three holes, and the old man has been an official for decades? How can you not know that the sea is dangerous? How can you not plan for a rainy day? Zhao Liben boasted to his children and grandchildren: "I'm not afraid to tell you now, there are shares of our Zhao family in Wu Ji......"

"Ah, really?" Zhao Shouzheng had heard of Wu Ji's name for a long time, and knew that this was a big business that included official salt transshipment, Qianzhuang pawnshop, and Caohe transportation, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Doesn't this mean that we can live the same life as salt merchants?" ”

"Look at your useless look!" Zhao Liben glanced at him, and said angrily: "I really don't know how you got in the exam?" ”

"Of course it's the ancestors who have appeared." Zhao Shouzheng was not stupid, even if it was to his father, he only vaguely mentioned it: "Grandpa Tai said in a dream, our Zhao family still wants to produce a jinshi, and it should be on his son." ”

"Grandpa Tai also has a time when he is blind," Zhao Liben scolded with a smile: "Then you will honestly go to the Jinshi examination, and be an official in your duty, don't keep thinking about building a garden and raising thin horses." ”

"Ahem, I just said that I only talked about building a garden, but I didn't say raising thin horses." Zhao Shouzheng's old face turned red when he heard the cough.

"Your virtue, the old man still doesn't know?" Zhao Liben laughed, obviously very happy.

"Father, there are two children here." Zhao Shouzheng protested.

"Zhao Xian will get married after the New Year, and Zhao Hao is not young......" Zhao Liben said, asking casually: "By the way, the Liu family didn't entangle anymore, right?" ”

"Where does Liu Zhengqi still have a face?" Zhao Shouzheng shook his head and smiled: "He doesn't have the face to stay in Jinling, I heard that he has gone back to Suzhou."

"That's good." Zhao Liben nodded, and smiled at Zhao Hao with some joy: "Don't be sad, good grandson, as the saying goes, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come, and grandpa will find you a better door." ”

"Ahem...... Zhao Hao also coughed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, I'm still young, let's talk about this in a few years." ”

"After this village, there will be no more shops." Zhao Liben took a sip of wine and said, "Eat first, and then talk after eating." ”

"Ugh." Zhao Hao nodded, I hope the old man drank too much and said casually.

~~

Zhao Shouzheng reunited with his father, and the big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and after living for thirty or forty years, he finally got his father's approval, so he naturally drank a few more glasses without any suspense.

Then there was no doubt that he was drunk.

Zhao Hao was about to help his father to rest, but was stopped by Zhao Liben.

"Zhao Xian, you help the second uncle to rest."

Then the old man said to Zhao Hao: "Good grandson, accompany grandpa to walk around the garden and eliminate food." ”

"Hmm." As long as he doesn't mention the marriage of Raushzi, Zhao Hao is still a good grandson.

Zhao Xian helped Zhao Shouzheng to rest, while Zhao Hao hugged Zhao Liben and chatted while walking in this quiet garden.

Zhao Liben pointed to the scenery in the garden and said to his grandson: "This garden was purchased from fellow villagers for 10,000 taels of silver when my grandfather was in the 36th year of Jiajing. Over the years, tens of thousands of taels have been invested, and it took a lot of thought to have the current scale. ”

"For example, in this garden, with the talented Tinghexuan as the center, it is divided into four pieces: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The east side is dominated by bamboo and stone, symbolizing spring. The south side of the etheric lake stone symbolizes the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River in midsummer. Yellowstone is used to set off the upright autumn mountains in the west, and white snow stones are used in the north to highlight the cold feeling of the snow not melting in winter. What do you think, good grandson? After Zhao Liben finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Hao with anticipation.

Zhao Hao is building Xiaocang Mountain, and is naturally very interested in the garden, and he sincerely praises it: "The purpose is novel, original, and can lead the coquettish." ”

He said in his heart, "When I go back, I will also divide Okura Mountain by theme." The 500 acres of land have mountains and waters, but compared with these more than a dozen acres of small gardens, it is much worth tossing.

Who knew that Zhao Liben was not satisfied, and pulled Zhao Hao to stand still in front of a two-story attic, and said to him with a smile.

"Good grandson, your poetic talent, even Wang Yizhou is amazed, when you see your own garden, don't you have the urge to write a poem?"

"Nope." Zhao Hao shook his head resolutely.

"That's not going to work!" Zhao Liben blew his beard and glared: "Even if it is to make a name for our homeland, you have to make a song for me." ”

"Grandpa, this poem is not for working in the field, it has to be inspired." Zhao Hao said with a wry smile.

"You don't come to this set." Zhao Liben knocked him on the head and said, "Today, you have to do it, and you have to do it if you don't do it." ”

The old man said, sat down on the Taihu Lake stone, hugged his arms and said, "Otherwise, grandpa won't go back." ”

"Alas, well......"

Zhao Hao pondered helplessly for a moment, and said, "Then send grandpa a word." ”

As he spoke, he slowly recited:

"The small garden is silent, and the winding path of the fence imitates the mountain house. The day is long, and I suddenly hear the sound of the catalpa and the blue yarn.

Add bamboo stone, with smoke. It is intended to comfort the years with respect for wine. Hugh sighs in this life meat, and strives to plant flowers in spring. ”

"Haha, good, the good grandson really came out of the chapter, this "Yu Zhonghao" is wonderful, and he has exhausted his grandfather's thoughts."

Zhao Liben nodded again and again with satisfaction, then let Zhao Hao go, and slowly walked away with his support.

~~

When the ancestors and grandchildren walked away, the window on the second floor of the water pavilion was pushed open.

In the room on the second floor, Ye's figure appeared. Beside her stood a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, as clear and ethereal as ice and snow.

The girl was just a beautiful embryo, but she showed impressive indifference and calmness, she stood there quietly, looking at Zhao Hao's distant figure.

"Xue Ying, what do you think?" At this moment, the Ye family lost the posture of a little woman in front of Zhao Liben, and regained its original stability.

"Let's meet." The girl named Xue Ying bowed slightly, and her face did not reveal a trace of emotion.
