Chapter 52

If this Zhao Xiao is a big man, it is not, now the most famous of the Zhao family is Mr. Yishan of the long house, and the highest official position in the court is Zhao Shangshu of the third room of the Zhao family, and among the people of her uncle Zhao Liang's generation, they still haven't heard of a few eye-catching. There are one or two who have taken the test and are qualified in their careers, but most of them just stay at home to study and prepare for the exam, and some of them have long stopped thinking about the time and fortune, and only stay at home to help the family run some chores to earn a living.

Although Tong'an City is also rich, it is still far from the capital after all, and when it comes to the power of the Zhao family on weekdays, there are more acquaintances and intimacy of the old villagers, and there is less fear and panic, and the Zhao family has so many houses, and it is not that the Zhao family can be valued and watched by individuals.

But this Zhao Xiao is not ordinary, he is the descendant of the second room of the Zhao family, and the second room of the Zhao family is said to be a series, but now he is the only one seedling, if it is prosperous, I am afraid that even the down-and-out seven rooms of Zhao Liang, the uncle of Hongzhu. But such a person can be remembered by Tong'an when he mentions it a little.

Zhao Xiao's grandfather is from the same line as the Zhao family's house, and he is the younger brother of Mr. Yishan. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, and he suddenly fell ill soon after he was crowned, leaving his wife and his son Zhao Li, who was just half a year old. lost her husband, and Mrs. Zhao's already unhealthy body couldn't bear it, but she also died of depression a year, leaving her ignorant young son under her knees.

When Mr. Yishan saw this, he was also grief-stricken, after all, he had a more free and easy temperament, and personally took his nephew Zhao Li to raise him. At that time, Mr. Yishan had already stopped thinking about being an official, built a meditation house at home, read books and wrote poems, and lived a leisurely life. Zhao Li was born smart and clever, and after Mr. Yishan raised him, when he saw him, he thought of his younger brother who died early, and couldn't help but pour his heart and soul into him and teach him wholeheartedly.

Mr. Yishan couldn't help but sigh whenever he was drunk, and only said that Zhao Li was like his father, and he couldn't do it......

Speaking of Mr. Yishan's students, not to mention Tong'an, there are a lot of things he has taught in the world, but if you say who is the introductory disciple of his own lineage, it is really only his own nephew Zhao Li. Zhao Li followed Mr. Yishan to learn to do knowledge, and he also developed a temperament of idle clouds and wild cranes, and did not participate in the imperial examination.

Back then, everyone said that in twenty or thirty years, there would be another world-famous Confucian in Tong'an. It's a pity that the day is not a holiday, about fifteen or sixteen years ago, Zhao Li went to Yuxian outside the city to visit, because the mountain road was slippery after the rain, and he stepped on the empty foot...... And so it went.

At that time, Zhao Li's wife Gu was pregnant with a child, and the month was only July and August, and she fainted when she heard the bad news, and she was so shocked that she was so shocked that she had a child, and then struggled for two days and one night to give birth to a son, and Gu died of weakness.

When Mr. Yishan heard the news, he wept so much that he fainted. His illness, the whole Zhao family was panicked, no one cared about the funeral of Zhao Li and his wife, and no one even remembered the posthumous child who was born early. When Mr. Yishan woke up the next day, the first thing he did was to urgently bring his nephew and grandson. At this glance, the baby was so angry that his little face was pale, and Mr. Yishan was so angry that he had a big seizure.

Because the second room of the Zhao family has been left alone for decades, there is no one left in Tong'an City, some say that the feng shui luck of the second room of the Zhao family is not good, and some say that Zhao Xiao's life is lonely and hard. Kefuke's mother, these private nonsense can't reach the ears of the Zhao family's master, but Mr. Yishan is not deaf and blind, and he naturally knows what people are thinking in his eyes, and then looks at the thin and miserable baby in swaddling clothes, Mr. Yishan also cheered up, and after the funeral, he raised him personally despite the persuasion of his wife and children, and even his own relatives and grandchildren couldn't take care of it at all.

Mr. Yishan personally named this child Zhao Xiao, nicknamed Ping'an, not asking him to be rich and famous, but wishing him a safe and smooth life, leisurely, ordinary and ordinary.

Mr. Yishan didn't want to teach him any more poetry because of his younger brother and nephew, and even the enlightenment was just thinking that the Zhao family was illiterate, so he randomly found a hundred family names for him to read. From childhood to adulthood, this Zhao Xiao has not seriously worshiped Master Confucius and recognized the master, nor has he seriously read a collection of four books and five classics and a hundred schools, as long as Mr. Yishan has leisure, he will lead him to play in the courtyard.

But this Zhao Xiao is not an ordinary person, if his grandfather is precocious, his father is clever, he is talented and intelligent, and he was born with a seven-trick exquisite heart. Even under Mr. Yishan's perfunctory pretense, he still knew the Analects at the age of five or six...... But it's not who carries Mr. Yishan behind his back to teach him, it's just that Mr. Yishan doesn't restrict him to have fun, Zhao Xiao came to wander around the old mansion with interest, and the Zhao family sect in the front yard has also passed by several times, just like that, he still memorized them one by one.

Zhao Xiao didn't take it seriously when he turned around, and reciting the poetry book was just a plaything in his heart, and he didn't say much about it.

Mr. Yishan learned about this by chance, and his heart was full of admiration and admiration and sadness...... He didn't hesitate, but in the end, when he saw that Zhao Xiao was the same as before, he didn't mention it. But later, although Zhao Xiao was not allowed to study, he was not restrained from following him. For more than ten years, the grandparents and grandchildren have been lying together, Zhao Xiao has followed Mr. Yishan's side, grinding ink and laying paper, reading and replying to letters, and has also seen more of Mr. Yishan's essays and poems with his friends.

Mr. Yishan didn't want him to read, Zhao Xiao didn't know, so he was also casual in reading, and he picked up a pen to write a few strokes when he was interested, and only then did he take this poetry book to read two sentences.

There are probably some people who are born with such a talent, which is not convincing and unsuccessful.

When he was young, Zhao Xiao was thin and weak, and his face was bland, but he was intensively raised by Mr. Yishan for more than ten years, and the charm in his bones has long been condensed and tempered, and he inherited the handsome appearance of his ancestors.

In the past two years, if it comes out of nowhere, the name of the most beautiful man in Tong'an will fall on his head.

Hongzhu feels that in the end, this ancient information is blocked, but people are rare and new, that is, strange relatives come to the neighborhood can be heard and understood in less than two days or so, and this eleventh master of the Zhao family has a twists and turns in his life, outstanding talents, extraordinary appearance, and all kinds of amazing things, so he has naturally become a strange thing in Tong'an, no matter whether men and women can talk about one or two in their spare time, or sigh or envy...... If you use a modern fresh word to describe it, this Zhao Xiao is an ancient male god......

Hongzhu was not without curiosity, but after all, this person was too far away from herself, and she just laughed when she heard about him. Now from the mouth of my sister Zhou Zhou, I heard that this person promised to help and manage the banquet of the Zhao family, and I couldn't help but feel my heart skip a beat. It's a pity that the wine banquet is not even a wedding banquet, and their Zhu family has no reason to come to the door, so they know what to do.

On the contrary, thinking of the actions of Mrs. Zhu, Jiang and Zhu Yanmei in the Fangcai Hall, Hongzhu felt a little funny. Even the Jiang family was reluctant to complain that Zhu Biyun had married badly and had been wronged, but when he heard the eleventh master of the Zhao family, the look on his face was not ordinary......

I'm afraid that at this time, the Jiang family really understood, she is really related to the Zhao family.

That week, my sister looked at the Zhu family's preparations and was very satisfied, and before leaving, she said that she would come over early in the morning to help.

Zhu Yanmei couldn't ask for her words, and without waiting for Mrs. Zhu and Jiang to answer, she agreed first, "Great, great! Our family is stupid, and we haven't done anything big, and with Sister Zhou coming to point out, this heart can be clear." ”

And Mrs. Zhu and Jiang were not unhappy at all when they saw this, Jiang said: "Yes, Sister Labor will go again......"

Sister Zhou smiled and said goodbye.

When the people left, the Zhu family couldn't help but be happy, and discussed the matter very carefully.

Hongzhu saw that it was half an afternoon, and knew that there would be no guests in the future, and even if there were, it would be okay to miss her, so she said to Li: "Mother, I'll go to the restaurant." ”

Li had been remembering the restaurant all day long, and he agreed as soon as he heard it.

Cheng Wenhan helped in the restaurant this day, and it was strange to see her sister coming over at this time, "Sister, why are you still coming here at this time, there are not many guests." You've been busy all day at home, and you're going to get tired. ”

When Zhong saw it, he also persuaded her to go back, "It's really not much busy for the New Year, and it's okay if you don't have a day or two less for a day." It's not a smooth time to come. ”

Hongzhu knew that it was not easy to live in the restaurant today, if they didn't come, there would only be Uncle Li and his wife in the restaurant, even if there was one more Cheng Wenhan, it would not be of much use. The most important thing is that Second Uncle Li has no one to help him alone, even if there are not many guests, but there are all kinds of things in the kitchen, where can a person take care of it, I am afraid that my legs will be tired and thin at the end of the day.

"Second uncle, it's the Lantern Festival tomorrow, in the end I'll pinch a few dumplings for a good time. As soon as Hongzhu said this, Zhong also smiled and didn't let her go back. The truth is that if you don't prepare dim sum dumplings tonight, there will be nothing to sell when the food is open tomorrow.

Seeing this, Cheng Wenhan didn't say anything, and was obediently instructed by Hongzhu to help.

As soon as I got busy, I even stayed in the restaurant for dinner, and when it was almost cleaned up, it was already dark when Hongzhu and Cheng Wenhan went back. Second Uncle Li was not at ease, so he had to follow them out and send them back to their sister and brother. When he arrived at Zhu's house, Li opened the door with an anxious face before he pushed the door, and although Hongzhu begged for mercy, he was still complained by Li in the end.

The author has something to say: Happy May Day.

I'm working hard to renew it...... Embarrassment......
