Xu Weizhi went home for the New Year and also came to greet Zhao Hao. On the contrary, Hua Shuyang and Bei Peijia, who were officials in Nanjing, one returned to Wuxi for the New Year, and the other supervised the construction of the water transport instrument elephant platform in Kunshan, and they were not in Jinling at this time.

"Don't worry, don't worry." After listening to Old Man Yu's words, the little grandfather smiled and said: "Actually, if you want me to say, it's better to find a way to open a water gate on the Shicheng Gate and let the Furong Pond connect to the Qinhuai River, then it's a wonderful!" ”

"." Zhao Hao kicked his ass lightly and said, "I really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick?" ”

How can Jinling be said to be the capital, and make a hole in the city wall to open the water gate? I'm afraid that the water of the Qinhuai River has not yet been attracted, and it was sprayed to death by the saliva of the officials!

"Hehe, Master, am I just talking nonsense, what do I know?" Xu Weizhi hurriedly smiled and changed his words. Because his father was not treated well by his grandfather, this kid had to change his ways to make Xu Pengju happy since he was a child, and he looked oily and slippery for a long time.

No wonder it can mix the film and television industry......

"By the way, Xiaozhi, is your grandfather feeling better?" Zhao Hao asked differently.

"It's not good, alas, it's seventy-three this year." Xu Weizhi shook his head and sighed, and said with a sad look on his face: "Your Majesty sent a doctor from Beijing, and also invited Dr. Wan and Dr. Li to come to the clinic, and they all said that his old man's oil ran out of lamps, and the day was not a holiday. ”

"If you are interested in the spring and warm up, you will be able to get better." What else can Zhao Hao say? Great, hurry up and die?

"It's enough, the doctor said, it's only been a month or two." Xu Weizhi lowered his voice and said, "My father will not leave the old man's bed now, otherwise he will definitely come to pick up the master." ”

"Alas, don't be too sad...... Zhao Hao patted Xiao Zhi's shoulder and said, "Do you need me to visit Ling Zu?" ”

It is said that with the relationship between Zhao Hao and Xu Bangrui's father and son, they should go there.

"My father said that my grandfather is like this now, and it will be sad to see him, so I won't bother my master to visit." Xu Weizhi said with a gloomy expression: "If my grandfather gets better after a while, I will ask you to come over to talk about it." ”

"Okay, listen to your father." Zhao Hao nodded and said no more. He knew that this was Xu Bangrui's worry, what if Xu Pengju suddenly returned to the light and begged him to put Xu Bangning back?

Although from an outsider's point of view, Xu Bangning is back now, and he can't threaten Xu Bangrui. He's not as atmospheric as he is, and he's good-looking in all aspects.

But Xu Bangrui obviously doesn't want to make any more mistakes at this juncture. Of course, it is inevitable to be scolded ruthlessly behind your back......

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, and Xu Weizhi said in a low voice after a while: "It's still interesting to make movies." ”

"Huh." Zhao Hao can guess that this kid probably watches dog blood ethics dramas at home. smiled and said: "You are a dignified little grandfather, of course you can choose the path you want to take." ”

"It's a pity, I don't know when I can go back to Kunshan......" Xu Weizhi was depressed for a while.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and said in his heart that this old man had failed a little bit. When it was coming, his son prevented him from seeing people, and his grandson was bent on getting out as soon as possible......

Can only say? Should!

~~

While talking, the painting boat runs along the Yulin River lined with shops? I came to Hibiscus Pond at the foot of Mt. Kokura.

I saw the huge hibiscus pond, full of Qiluo Zhucui cruise boats, silk and bamboo, light singing and dancing? It's like arriving at the Qinhuai River.

There are also boats in the pond with horse-head bamboo baskets, selling flowers, fragrant medicinal syrup, and candied fruits. And some trick boats? There were poles more than three feet high on the ship. Is there that light drama boy? On the pole, jumping on the rope, pretending to be a ghost, spitting fireworks, all kinds of churning and juggling, for Bo Those rich businessmen on the boat to laugh.

The piers by the pool are next to each other, and in just the past two years, more than a dozen four- or five-storey buildings with carved beams have been erected around the Hibiscus Pond? Let the original stand out from the crowd of delicious taste? It's not that outstanding.

Yu Jiachang excitedly told Zhao Hao? Qin Huai Oiran Qi Jingyun also moved to Kokura Mountain? It is in the Xiaoxiang Building not far from the Furong Pond.

"Why are you telling me this?" Zhao Hao glanced at him, this old man is also confused? Didn't you see my five golden flowers behind me?

Yu Jiachang's impression of Zhao Hao was still at the stage when the son was still young, so naturally he didn't think about it? He also explained there: "This is the status of our Okurayama! Miss Qi's arrival shows that our grade has gone up, and all businesses can increase in price by one percent! ”

"This one is a brute." Zhao Hao coughed twice, not to mention the bald man in front of the monk, this old man seems to be really old. Quickly changed the topic and said: "I see that the champion street is also very lively." ”

I saw that on the pedestrian street connecting Shichengmen and Yulin River Front Street, the rows of shops, the dazzling signboards, and the pedestrians rubbing shoulders were much more prosperous than when they came last year.

To a large extent, it is because in the open space in front of the mountain behind the street, a mountain shed has been erected, and various opera troupes under the shed are performing thaumaturgical abilities, singing and dancing. There are also hawkers who sell medicines, hexagrams, flowers and melons, and wander around, and the liveliness has caught up with the temple fair of Confucius Temple.

"The popularity is really strong, Jinling deserves to be Jinling, and Suzhou can't be compared in this regard." Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing: "I knew that it was so lively at the door of my house, why did I have to delay on the road?" ”

"This is because according to Childe's instructions, he advocated that the Kokurayama store be open for the Spring Festival, and set up a shed to invite the theater troupe." Yu Jiachang hurriedly smiled: "There is no opening anywhere else, so naturally everyone is attracted to us." ”

"Not bad." Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction. The Chinese New Year is over, people have both money and leisure in their hands, and naturally there is a strong demand for entertainment, but the sound and color places, restaurants and shops in Nanjing City are all closed for the New Year. Although the temple fair is lively, you can only go shopping and can't sit, let alone enjoy prostitutes in a relaxed and comfortable way.

Zhao Gongzi used this method of differentiated competition to enhance the status of Kokurayama. This year is already in its second year, and the results are surprisingly good.

It's just that the effect is a bit excessive, and there are so many people everywhere that they have to take a horse-drawn carriage and make a detour of two miles before they come to the boulevard up the mountain.

Knowing that he was an eyesore here, Yu Jiachang and the others didn't follow up the mountain, and Xu Weizhi also returned to the Guogong Mansion.

After passing through the sentry box and going up to the private road, the world quieted down.

The convoy walked along the verdant mountain road and stopped in front of the mid-mountain villa called 'Liuyun Mountain Residence'.

Knowing that they were coming for the New Year, Qiaoqiao had already taken the servants to clean the place in advance, replaced the bedding with new ones, and placed flowers and fruits, so that Zhao Hao and the girls suddenly felt home.

"Wow, Sister Qiaoqiao, I love you to death." Li Mingyue happily held Qiaoqiao's arm and said, "The world is beautiful with you!" ”

These words speak to everyone's hearts. There are no coincidental days, and life is indeed much less enjoyable. No matter how many servants and maids there are, they can't experience the fulfillment of being taken care of by their families.

"I won't do it, foolishly." Qiaoqiao was a little embarrassed to be praised by the wheel, and quickly waved his hand and said, "You guys sit down and rest first, and then wash up and eat later." ”

"I can finally eat the food cooked by Sister Qiaoqiao again!" Zhao Hao was also overjoyed, threw himself on the long sofa, and said with an expression on his face: "I have been hungry and thin during this time." ”

"Pure nonsense." Qiaoqiao pretended to be fierce Bai He glanced at him and said: "The master who is extremely fresh cooks for you every day, isn't it better than what I make?" ”

"It's not as good as that!" Before the words fell, the five of them shook their heads together.

"Flutter ......" Qiaoqiao was pitiful by the five people and laughed, and helplessly rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, you wait, I'll go to the kitchen." ”

"I'll help you." Sister Ma got up and followed.

"I'll go too." Zhang Xiaojing also followed.

"Enough is enough, and if there are more people, it will be chaotic." Qiaoqiao hurried to stop the remaining two, lest the kitchen become a battlefield.

"Then we won't make a mess......" Li Mingyue and Jiang Xueying laughed quite knowingly.

"Just wait and eat."

~~

In fact, Qiaoqiao had already prepared all kinds of ingredients, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, he began to get busy.

Ma Xianglan and Zhang Xiaojing also washed their hands, put on aprons and sleeves, and prepared to help cook.

"You guys wrap this pot of stuffing around dumplings." Qiaoqiao was not polite, and gave orders to the two while rolling the skin. "We eat steamed shrimp dumplings at noon."

Ma Xianglan and Zhang Xiaojing hesitated, looked at each other and smiled, and then picked up a stuffing by themselves, pinched the dumplings with the skillfully rolled skin, and moved very decently.

And the dumplings wrapped out are one by one, they are all decent, and they are not raw at first glance.

"Miss Zhang's skills are very good." Qiaoqiao praised Miss Zhang from the bottom of her heart.

"I will help my mother do some work at home...... Miss Zhang smiled embarrassedly: "My father has been in the Hanlin Academy for many years, and it is already very difficult to feed a large family, and I can't let my children reach out for clothes and open their mouths for food." ”

"Then you Chinese New Year's Eve pretend that you can't ...... that day," Sister Ma asked with a smile.

"That's what you think." Miss Zhang smiled and said, "Good friend." ”

"Understood, good friend." Sister Ma nodded, naturally she didn't want to steal the limelight.

Qiaoqiao was confused when she heard this, so she didn't think about it anymore, and continued to roll her skin quickly.

It's white and round, and it's blown to the brim...... Mine says it's dumpling wrappers.

Almost finished wrapping a grate, Sister Ma put down the dumplings in her hand, waved her hand and asked a few servant women who were cooking the fire to prepare the vegetables to go out first, and then

Said mysteriously: "Qiaoqiao, the little county lord and Miss Jiang have established a partnership company and invited us to join us." ”

"Oh? What company? Qiaoqiao said without interest: "You guys play, I don't know how to do business." Originally, I used to give money to customers in Weijixian, but I often miscalculated accounts for others. ”

"You have to be a part of this company because it's not a general business." Secretary Ma said, leaned into Qiaoqiao's ear, and explained in a low voice: "Its business scope is limited to ......"

"Ah, Childe?" Qiaoqiao was so shocked that she almost ate the rolling pin. "Are you going to sell him?"

"Hey." Ma Xianglan and Zhang Xiaojing couldn't cry or laugh, so they had to break it with her and crumple it.

Hearing this, Qiaoqiao was stunned for a while, and then nodded blankly. "Anyway, I don't understand, what are you talking about......
