Chapter 21 Brother Zhao in time

The old Beijingers say that 'the kang is hot and the house is warm', which is not false at all.

The north wind is howling outside the house, the weather is cold and frozen, but the fire is baked, the whole house is warm and spring-like, and the cat does not go out on the kang, it is much more comfortable than spending the winter in Jinling.

Zhao Shixi came into the back room, and then he felt that he was alive again. But with the fierce god Gao Wu behind him, he still didn't dare to slack off, barely stood straight, and said to Zhao Hao: "Grandpa spared the Sun thief, the Sun thief really knows that he was wrong......

"Sun thief, don't play tricks with me, who do you call grandpa?" Seeing that he still wanted to secretly play tricks, Zhao Hao sneered and said, "Call uncle!" ”

"Yes, uncle." Zhao Shixi shrunk his neck, he didn't expect Zhao Hao to speak so slippery in Beijing, his face turned pale, and he knew that he had lifted a stone to hit his feet again.

"Looks like you still don't know what's wrong." I heard Zhao Hao ask coldly: "Then continue to accept the transformation." ”

Saying that, he instructed Gao Wu and said: "A few years ago, let this kid eat, live and train with you, just treat him as an ordinary guard, no need to be special!" ”

"Ah......" Zhao Shixi was spinning for a while, if Gao Wu hadn't grabbed his collar in time, this kid would have been able to kneel on the ground directly.

"Also, from now until the beginning of the year, it is forbidden for you to leave the West Courtyard for a single step, it is forbidden for you to contact that group of fox friends and dogs, it is forbidden for you to drink and gamble for money, and you are forbidden to do all the forbidden things."

Zhao Hao was unmoved, picked up the piece of paper written by Wang Wuyang, and handed it to Gao Wudao: "Take it and strictly enforce it!" ”

"Yes!" Gao Wu replied in a muffled voice and took over the rules and regulations drawn up by Zhao Hao for Zhao Shixi.

Then, he carried Zhao Shixi and turned around and went out, but met Zhao Shouzheng coming in from outside at the door.

"Oops, I'm freezing to death......" Zhao Shouzheng stood in the hallway rubbing his hands and stomping his feet, and Fang Wen on the side helped him take off his fur hat and mink fur, and take off his heavy felt boots.

"Hey, why are you here again?" When Zhao Shouzheng saw Zhao Shixi, he couldn't help but sink his face.

"Call someone." Zhao Hao's voice came out of the thick curtain from the inside.

"Grandpa." Zhao Shixi immediately bowed his head obediently and said, "It's all grandson's fault, grandson apologized to you." ”

This time there was no childish sound.

"That's pretty much it." Zhao Shouzheng's expression was slightly pale when he heard this: "Remember, children, you can't suffer a loss with desserts." ”

As he spoke, he took out a meeting ticket from his sleeve pocket and said, "This is the meeting gift that my uncle prepared for you, if you pretend to be a grandson early, it will be yours a long time ago." ”

Zhao Shixi took the ticket with both hands, looked at the amount on it, and it was a thousand taels of silver, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and regret his intestines.

Originally, he just wanted to ask for a hundred and eighty taels......

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and now there is no place to spend the silver.

~~

Gao Wu carried Zhao Shixi out, Zhao Shouzheng entered the back room, and smiled at his son who got up to greet him: "What, my son cleaned up this bad boy?" ”

"No problem, my brother begged hard, but I didn't agree." Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and pouted, he was so lazy, it was already very hard for him to write books and teach his disciples every day. If it weren't for the fact that the old brother would have no worries about embarking on the journey, he wouldn't have cared about this idle matter.

However, although he promised to help discipline his eldest nephew, Zhao Hao didn't want to bother with this bad boy, so he kicked him directly to Gao Wu for rectification.

"Then you'll have to clean him up." Zhao Shouzheng washed his hands and face, took off his shoes and put on the kang, leaned on the kang quilt, slowly stretched his waist and said, "But I'm tired to death......"

Eryang and Zhao Shizhen took away the pen and ink books on the table and let the servants start serving.

Over there, Zhao Jin had already come over to tell Zhao Hao that he had a party tonight, so let them have dinner by themselves.

Of course, the cooks of Guanglu Temple, who are on duty in the house, will handle everything, and they still don't have to worry about it.

Suddenly, the kang table was filled with large plates of scallion roasted sea cucumbers, stewed mutton, braised prawns, nine turns of large intestines, and fire-grilled mutton skewers...... Even the cold dishes are Jiaodong's four major mixes.

"Today's chef must be Master Lu." Zhao Shouzheng smiled and said with a chopstick and scallion roasted sea cucumber: "This Lu cuisine is salty, fresh and mellow, which is very different from the Jinling cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine we often eat. ”

Zhao Hao and his apprentices also started around the table, chatting while eating: "What is my father busy with today, tired like this?" ”

"Alas, don't mention it, the guild hall has been burglarized." Zhao Shouzheng took a sip of the old burn, and he frowned and said: "Our Yingtian Hall has been patronized for two nights in a row, and in the same year as the class I entered Beijing, half of them have suffered. ”

"Really?" Wang Wuyang and Hua Shuyang looked at Zhao Shouzheng in surprise, and the former hurriedly said: "When I was a guest at Uncle Wang's house today, I heard that the Suzhou Hall and the Changzhou Hall were also stolen. ”

"Is the security in the capital so bad?" Zhao Hao was also taken aback. Some of them are glad to agree to live in the old brother's house, this Chunsong Hutong is an official house, and there are soldiers to guard it, and the thieves dare not patronize it.

"I heard that it was because I entered the country a few times ago, and there were too many displaced people who fled to Beijing." Hua Shuyang replied: "The New Year will be next month, and there will naturally be more people who take risks." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Shouzheng nodded and said, "The official of Shuntian Mansion also said the same. ”

"Oh, Suncheonfu?" Zhao Hao asked strangely: "This kind of theft, shouldn't it be Wanping or Daxing County?" ”

Jingshi is similar to Nanjing, both have two counties attached to Guo, and according to the case, they should be under the jurisdiction of the county. After the county has done it or can't do it, it will be reported to the government, and it is rare to hear that the government will directly take care of such trivial matters.

"I heard that it was because of the theft of the property of more than a dozen people, and the Shuntian Mansion took over the case in order to show its attention." Zhao Shouzheng smiled happily at Zhao Hao: "It's okay to be in charge of Shuntian Mansion, I never thought that Lord Fucheng was actually your brother Wu's uncle, he promised to help pay attention to this case, and invited you to his house as a guest." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Hao was a little surprised, he knew that Wu Kangyuan would try to introduce himself to his uncle, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. He thought he wouldn't see each other until the New Year's greetings.

Sensing that things were not simple, he nodded and said he knew.

~~

Before going to bed, the two apprentices and Zhao Shizhen went out, and Zhao Shouzheng reported the account to Zhao Hao:

"When I came out of Shuntianfu, I saw that they were all penniless, so I gave each of them two hundred taels of silver, and then I went to Dashilan and hired a dart company to protect their lodgings in the guild hall. Now the ten thousand taels of silver you gave me will be spent nearly four thousand taels a day. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that there is a father, maybe he can exceed the task." ”

"That's a good start." Zhao Hao also nodded, and said thoughtfully: "After today, the reputation of my father and Shiyu should spread among the lifters, and there will be more and more opportunities to spend money in the future." ”

It was freezing outside, Zhao Hao couldn't wait to stay on the kang every day and not go out, and the burden of spending money fell on Zhao Shouzheng.

"I'm not boasting about my father, when it comes to spending money, I'm an expert ......" only listened to Zhao Shouzheng full of confidence.

ps. The sixth update, 2800 votes plus more to ...... Woo, it's the second half of the night again.
