Zhao Hao looked at the closed door of the blacksmith shop, and sighed helplessly, but he valued Gao Wu more and more in his heart.

But today is not suitable for seeing each other again, and he returns home in a huff.

After entering the courtyard, Zhao Hao took out two more ingots from his arms, and threw twenty taels of silver to Zhao Shouzheng and said: "A thousand times is too much, and the right to insult my father twice first." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Zhao Shouzheng was so happy that he held the four ingots of silver and looked at them for a long time. "Old friend, why didn't you think you were so cute before?"

But after appreciating it, Zhao Shouzheng reluctantly returned the money to his son and said:

"I've also understood this time that life is going to pass. The money is in the father, and it is gone in a blink of an eye. It's better for you to take care of it, and I'll get it from you when you need it. ”

Zhao Hao couldn't help but burst into tears, and a sense of relief from his old parents rose in his heart.

People really have to suffer in order to grow, cheap.

"That's what I gave my father a little money for." He stuffed the silver back into his father's hand and said with a smile: "The so-called money is a hero's courage, how can you be a big husband if you are shy in your pocket?" ”

Zhao Shouzheng stopped refusing at this time, and said happily: "Then I'll accept it." ”

~~

After the father and son finished speaking, they went their separate ways, and Zhao Shou was making vegetables in the hall. Zhao Hao returned to the west where he lived.

He first pushed open the broken bed he slept on, and lifted the green bricks that had supported the foot of the bed, and under the green bricks was a small hole he had dug in advance, and there was an empty wooden box in it.

This was all prepared by Zhao Hao in advance.

He only kept ten taels of silver on his body as his daily expenses.

put the remaining twenty taels of silver and the deposit ticket into a small wooden box, covered it with green bricks, and finally pressed the bed legs on the bricks, Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

When he returned to the patio, Zhao Shouzheng had already made him wash his face.

"Let's wash up and eat." Zhao Shouzheng smiled and urged his son.

Although he laughs every day, until today, he is relieved and smiles as heartless as before.

Zhao Hao was also very happy, and was about to make fun of his father, but he suddenly heard someone outside the hospital shouting:

"Don't start the meal yet, wait for me!"

Hearing that voice, the pancreas in Zhao Hao's hand slid to the ground.

Through the low wall, you can see a huge head with the right ears, running towards the door. Isn't it Fan Datong who specializes in pumping Feng, and who is it?

Zhao Shouzheng also changed his face and color, holding his purse and said, "Can this guy smell silver?" I just have money in my hand and come to the door? ”

"No, we just went home, how did he know?" Zhao Hao shook his head, bent down to pick up the pancreas, and whispered to his father: "There should be something else." You keep the money and don't let him see it. ”

Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly bent over to scratch his boots, and stuffed his purse into his boots.

As soon as he got up, he saw Fan Datong kick open the empty courtyard door, sweating profusely and running in with a large bag and a small bag.

"Pick me up." Fan Datong shouted at the two of them: "Look, what did I bring here?" ”

In the surprised eyes of the father and son, Fan Datong showed a bag of sliced pork and mutton, two fathead fish, and some cooked food.

"Roast chicken, salted duck, pig's head, and this ......"

As he spoke, Fan Datong took out a big wine gourd with square red paper from his arms, and the word 'Daqu' was written on the red paper.

"Good things...... Zhao Shouzheng's eyes lit up, and when he stretched out his hand to take it, he remembered his son's words in the morning, and couldn't help but say: "I'm going to quit drinking for the time being." ”

"Uncle Shi is so bold today?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but be curious while sending raw meat and fish into the kitchen.

"Celebrate the housewarming, I didn't want to give silver yesterday, but I will buy wine and meat to eat today." Fan Datong smiled and said: "Virtuous nephew, I see that the rice jar is almost empty, and I also bought a stone of rice and a barrel of oil from the rice shop on the street, and I will send it to the guy later." ”

Nanjing rice is expensive, a stone of rice costs a tael of silver, and the price of oil is even higher, plus these wine and meat to eat, he is afraid that half of the silver he spent yesterday.

"You save some money, don't spend so lavishly." Zhao Shouzheng's own realm has gone up, and it is natural to teach Fan Datong a lesson: "Sage cloud, thrift to cultivate virtue." ”

"Heh, why did my brother change his character? Didn't they always say in the past, the daughter is gone, and then comes back? Fan Datong wiped his hands indiscriminately, then tore the fat roast chicken into several pieces, handed the two chicken legs to the father and son, and held half of the chicken himself and gnawed it, saying:

"How can spending money on my brother be considered a wasteful spending? I wanted to invite you to Deyue Tower to celebrate the housewarming, but I am afraid that five taels of silver is not enough......"

"Ahem......" Zhao Hao almost choked to death when he heard it. My father and son have moved here these days, and it didn't cost a couple of silver to eat! Among them is also the half of the two that Zhao Shouzheng went out.

This rice bucket is too unprofitable!

"The virtuous nephew Hugh is inexplicably surprised." Fan Datong said disapprerovingly: "You are also from an official eunuch family, what is this money?" The cost of the Qinhuai River painting boat is fifty taels, and the Yuelou is also a famous building in Nanjing, and you can't eat anything good for five taels of silver......"

"Indeed." Zhao Shouzheng nodded, obviously he had been in and out of that kind of occasion a lot before. It's just that I don't know if I'm going to a place of five taels or a place like fifty taels......

"Okay......" Zhao Hao rolled his eyes, this kind of life of a big dog, why haven't I fished all day?

He went into the house and brought out a few braised vegetables for dinner, and put together a table with the food brought by Fan Datong, and the three of them ate and drank in the patio.

After Fan Datong had eaten and drunk enough, he picked his teeth and asked, "How will my brother make a living in the future?" ”

"Don't worry about this, my son ......" Zhao Shouzheng just wanted to show off, but was secretly stepped on by Zhao Hao.

He immediately shook his head and changed his words: "My son...... Let me take the exam, there are thousands of Zhongsu in the book, and I won't have to worry about it then. ”

Fan Datong secretly smiled bitterly when he heard this, and he didn't know where his brother's confidence came from. But people like him are used to slapping horses, how can he say a word that disappoints the fun?

He raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Then the little brother wishes my brother the fragrance of Guibang and the yellow armor in a row!" ”

"Then I have to drink this cup."

Zhao Shouzheng was in a good mood, looking at Fan Datong was particularly pleasing to the eye, the two ate and drank, talked and laughed, and sang the Qinglou tune when they came up, which was simply boundless.

I couldn't stop drinking this drink, Zhao Shouzheng's amount of wine was poor, and he got carried away after three glasses of Daqu, holding Fan Datong's shoulder, and said with a big tongue: "The so-called adversity sees the truth, you can come to the door again today, and buy so many things, you friend...... Even if it's not in vain. The so-called, share the blessings, come, being a brother can't let you suffer......"

Saying that, he actually reached out and took out five taels of silver from his boots, patted it in front of Fan Datong and said, "Take it to Huacha!" ”

Fan Datong was taken aback, obviously he didn't expect Zhao Shouzheng to come up with money.

He glanced at Zhao Hao, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is not appropriate." My brother is not what he used to be, and I can't ......."

As he spoke, he kept watching Zhao Hao's reaction, but seeing that Zhao Hao's demeanor was as usual, he obviously didn't care.

"You can't take so much, give me two taels ......" Fan Datong changed his words and said: "Two taels is enough." ”

Zhao Hao couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"Just give it to you! What so much nonsense, just save me some flowers! Zhao Shouzheng was arrogant, and without saying anything, he stuffed five taels of silver into Fan Datong's arms.

"Hehe, brother, don't dare to quit. This time I promise to spend a few more days. Fan Datong happily put away the silver closely.

lest Zhao Hao suddenly make trouble and ask for the silver back. He poured two more glasses and couldn't wait to get up and take his leave.

After sending away the satisfied Fan Datong, Zhao Shouzheng's strength was over, and he looked at his son with some weakness and said, "You don't blame me for giving him money again, right?" ”

saw Zhao Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "It's my father's pocket money, so I can spend it as much as I want." ”

After a pause, he said quietly: "Didn't my father promise that he would quit drinking before Dabi?" ”

"Aren't you happy today? The next is not an example, the next is not an example. Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly smiled and gestured with his fists and feet: "Besides, my father is not drunk, you see, how vigorous his posture is!" ”

"You're not drunk, are you? Come on, do me a favor. ”

Zhao Hao greeted him unceremoniously and asked him to help carry the dozens of pounds of sugar residue in the room to the backyard.

Then the two of them dug a big pit with a shovel and poured all the sugar residue into it.

"It's a pity, if you sell it, you can exchange it for a month's worth of wine and meat...... Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but feel pain, and he did grow more and more.

"If people find out, it's troublesome." Zhao Hao shook his head and explained: "Dozens of catties of white sugar are sold, which is already eye-catching, if you let someone know, we bought so much brown sugar first, and then went out so much sugar residue, I am afraid that we will think that we have a refining method." ”

Only then did Shouzheng understand why Zhao Hao stepped on his own foot, and couldn't help but praise: "My son is really cautious, as a father, he just talks casually, and naturally listens to you." ”

Zhao Hao originally wanted to bury it directly, but he was afraid that too much sugar would attract a large group of ants, so he went to the street to buy a large bucket of quicklime, poured water on it, and completely destroyed the corpse before covering it with a thick layer of soil.
