Chapter 264: The First in the World
Although others are also a little relieved, this kind of thing can only be regarded as the most appropriate if it is handed over to the eight-faced exquisite Wei Xiao to deal with.
"Now that Lao Wei is gone, we have nothing to worry about, I think we should hurry up and get some sleep, recuperate enough, and if something happens, we can have the strength to do it." Qian Zhuan said, and was the first to turn around and go upstairs and go back to the room.
Immediately afterwards, everyone else went back to their rooms one by one, and in the lobby downstairs, only Chen Mo, who was still asleep, and Qin Shuang, who was sitting on the side, were left.
"Qin Gongzi, aren't you going to rest?" Chunshuang, who had already stepped on the stairs, turned around and asked with concern.
Seeing that Qin Shuang shook his head at him, but had no intention of leaving, Chunshuang had no choice but to go back to the room first.
There was silence in the hall, only Chen Mo's low snoring sounded from time to time.
Qin Shuang stood up, helped Chen Mo put on the shirt again, and then walked to the gate, leaning on the door frame, stunned.
"Is it that hard?" After a long time, she whispered to herself, "You men, always think about those who don't have you in their hearts, how can you take a look at the people around you?" ”
Liu He, who was walking alone on the road, saw Wei Xiao catching up and wanted to walk with him, and wanted to ask him to go back and rest first, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything in the end.
The place where the Zhao family is located is located in the northwest of Moling, which is closer to Huaishui and closer to the mouth of the Yangtze River.
Coming to the gate of the Zhao family, Liu He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
If you hadn't known in advance that this was the Zhao family, which was known as the first in the world, you would have been amazed at who it was, how could there be such a magnificent and elegant building in such a remote place in the wilderness.
It is said that it is the mansion of the Zhao family, in fact, it is already equivalent to a village, thinking that the Zhao family is up and down, there are hundreds of men, women and children, and the number of people in ordinary villages is not so much.
In this way, the Zhao family is so big, but it is understandable, after all, this is a wealthy family of scholars who has grown up with the Han dynasty since the beginning of the Gaozu Dynasty.
This gate of the Zhao family is also very interesting.
Ordinary big families always like to make the door more magnificent, but the Zhao family has not made a fuss here.
An archway that does not look high, erected there barely, if it is not the only Zhao character on the archway, ordinary people come here, I am afraid they will think that they are in the wrong place.
Not far from the archway, a stone tablet appeared in Liu He's sight.
Take a closer look, there are a few big characters on the book, the first in the world.
Liu He stopped and watched, and a kind old man stepped forward and said with a smile: "This son, why did he come to the Zhao family?" ”
Liu He gave a salute to the old man, "I came today to visit the head of the Zhao family, and I don't know who to report." ”
The old man pointed to the northwest corner of the Zhao family, "No need to report, the son can go directly." ”
Liu He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, it seems that this head of the Zhao family is much more easy-going than he imagined.
Seeing that the old man was leaving, Liu He stepped forward and gave another salute, pointed to the stone tablet on the side and asked, "I still have something I want to ask, who wrote the words on this stone tablet?" ”
The old man looked at the stone tablet with a smug smile on his face, "This is the imperial pen of the Ming Emperor back then." ”
Emperor Ming? After the old man left, Liu He fell into deep thought.
Emperor Ming, that is, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, isn't that the second emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty who created the rule of Ming Zhang?
Looking at the stone stele, Liu He couldn't help but be amazed, he didn't expect that the Zhao family was already famous all over the world at the beginning of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, otherwise he would not have been treated with the inscription of the imperial pen of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty.
And the head of the Zhao family, who has experienced the prosperity of the family for at least two hundred years, does not seem to have the arrogance that those scholars are accustomed to, and all the way, until the front of the house of the head of the Zhao family, there is not even a person who stepped forward to stop him.
The residence of the head of the Zhao family is also about the same size as the house where other Zhao clansmen live, the only difference is that on one side of the house, there is a small two-story attic, but it is the tallest building in the entire Zhao family.
Wei Xiao wanted to step forward and knock on the door, but was stopped by Liu He.
"Since this head of the Zhao family doesn't have any shelf, we don't need to put on any pomp in front of him." Liu He said, straightened his clothes, stepped forward by himself, and knocked on the door.
"Please come in." A deep voice came from inside the door.
Liu He pushed open the door and saw an old man sitting in the room, holding a book in his hand, looking at him with a smile.
Seeing the old man's appearance clearly, Liu He was stunned at first, and then smiled.
Isn't this the person I met at the gate, but I didn't expect that the old man with kind eyebrows turned out to be the famous head of the Zhao family.
"Childe is here, but he's here to listen to the book?" The head of the Zhao family asked with a smile.
Liu He didn't say a word, took out the copper coin that Pang Tong gave him from his arms, and threw it directly to the head of the Zhao family.
The head of the Zhao family took the copper coin, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it, his face showed a hint of surprise, he raised his head and looked Liu He up and down, "Where did you get this copper coin?" ”
"It was given to me by a friend, what? Any questions? ”
The head of the Zhao family nodded slightly, put the copper coin in his arms, and said with a smile: "There is no problem, I just asked casually, since the son took this copper coin, he can listen to books here for a whole day here." ”
Liu He relieved himself at this time, it seems that the little black fat man did not fool himself this time, this copper coin is really in charge.
"However, I have a rule here, I can only read to one person." The head of the Zhao family said, looking at Wei Xiao behind Liu He.
Wei Xiao immediately saluted the two of them, and then whispered to Liu He: "Boss, I'm waiting outside, if there is anything to call me." ”
Seeing Wei Xiao walk out of the door, the head of the Zhao family stood up and led Liu He inside.
Liu He was a little puzzled, he had seen this house from the outside, it was so big, and if he went inside, there was no way out, where would the head of the Zhao family take him?
Is there some mechanism behind it? Or is there a tunnel underneath that leads to other places?
It's no wonder that those masters who have been described countless times in the book always like to engage in these strange things, things that can be done in broad daylight, but they always like to go underground to make trouble, it seems that only in this way can they show that they are superior.
However, this time, Liu He guessed wrong.
The head of the Zhao family just led him to the back door of this house, but the moment he opened the back door, Liu He finally understood why this wealthy family of scholars who had flourished for hundreds of years had to live here for generations, and why the famous head of the Zhao family chose to live in this remote corner of the Zhao family.
