Chapter Forty-Six: Nine Paths into Nine Roads
"Okay, I'll take notice!" King Li Chuang saw that the eight masters were full of energy, and seemed to want to show off his deep relationship and glorious history, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly interrupted: "By the way, the eight masters, you should tell me about the place where the Nine Dragons play with pearls." “
"Nine Dragons Playing with Pearls?" This time it was the turn of the eighth master to be choked to death, and he was secretly angry in his heart, this King Li Chuang didn't listen to his glorious history, but wanted to listen to those ethereal myths, and suddenly felt helpless, but he couldn't help King Li Chuang, so he had to say at the moment: "That place is a puddle of water, what is there to say, just take you to see it then." “
King Li Chuang saw that the heavy eighth master was obviously unhappy, thinking of the past few days, the heavy eighth master was still quite righteous towards himself, and he was quite unhappy at the moment, so he got up and helped the heavy eighth master to pour a bowl of tea, and gently and skillfully placed it next to the heavy eighth master who had been sullen.
When there was no word all the way, the ox cart also trembled and swayed forward, Li Chuang Wang has a lot of things to do these days, and the ox cart swayed quite rhythmically, this leaning on the shed board, it actually fell asleep deeply, and when he woke up again, the ox cart stopped, but the whole car was dim, but the car was full of people, and the lights were bright, it seemed to have arrived at the Zhaojiazhuang that the heavy eight masters said before.
The heavy eighth master didn't know when he was gone, thinking that he was going into Zhaojiazhuang to say hello, Li Chuang Wang opened the door curtain, jumped out of the car, and slept against the shed on the way, this person came to the car, was blown by the evening breeze, and the person felt quite good, but his hands and feet were restrained when he sat in the car, and he was quite uncomfortable, so he stood in place and stretched out his hands and kicked his legs, stretched his muscles and bones, and looked around.
In the twilight, I only saw a large mansion with shadows in the distance, and there were still lights flashing in it. However, in his heart, King Li Chuang secretly speculated that this nine is the supreme number, remembering that the Forbidden City used to be nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine houses, and the supreme number of nine was in the late Han Dynasty, I am afraid that only the Son of Heaven can use it, but now this Zhao Zhong dares to make a nine-in-nine road, isn't he afraid of losing his head?
For the ten permanent servants, this Li Chuang Wang does not have a good impression, Shi Zai is also only depreciating and not praised, Li Chuang Wang is still slandering this Zhao Zhong, but the eighth master and Zhang Yuanwai walked over together, and there was a white and chubby middle-aged man next to him, and the three of them were all smiling on their faces, and they seemed to be talking very harmoniously.
"Steward Zhao, this is the virtuous son-in-law of Zhang Yuanwai's family!" The eighth master walked in front, and when he saw King Li Chuang, he stopped, and said to the middle-aged man with a smile: "The young man's surname is Li, and he is a very good offspring!" “
"Xiaoyou, this is the big housekeeper of Zhaojiazhuang, a well-known good person!" The eighth master immediately introduced the middle-aged man to King Li Chuang.
"I've seen Steward Zhao!" Previously, in the car, the eighth master entrusted him to Zhaojiazhuang to be polite, and King Li Chuang had no choice but to stand in place and bow his hand to the middle-aged man, which was considered a salute.
"Haha, yes, yes!" The white and chubby middle-aged man smiled like a chrysanthemum, and looked amiable: "Zhang Yuanwai is blessed, haha!" ”
"Prizes, prizes!" Zhang Yuanwai also replied politely, and smiled at King Li Chuang with concern: "Virtuous son-in-law, where can you go to the second uncle to help, you will rest early tonight, and you will have to hurry tomorrow." “
It may be that the eighth master and Zhang Yuanwai both felt that King Li Chuang was too young, and they didn't have the slightest intention of taking him to deal with the housekeeper of Zhaojiazhuang, but King Li Chuang couldn't ask for it, so he promised and said goodbye politely, and went to find Uncle Gan.
It is estimated that the second uncle Gan has run the rivers and lakes before, the parking of this convoy, and the eating and drinking of those cattle and horses are all arranged by him, when Li Chuangwang found him, he was almost arranged, seeing Li Chuangwang, Gan Second Uncle quickly stopped and shouted in his loud voice: "New aunt, let's squeeze into a room at night?" ”
......
"Haha, new aunt, this Zhaojiazhuang is really magnificent!" Second Uncle Gan, who was eating, drinking, and tidying up, was chatting with King Li Chuang while carefully wiping his pair of forty-eight-pound double dragon halberds.
Li Chuang Wang Zheng wondered how Zhao Zhong, an old oilman in officialdom, dared to be so bold and reckless, building a mansion with nine entrances and nine falls, and when he heard Second Uncle Gan speak, he asked casually: "Second Uncle Gan, do you say that this mansion with nine entrances and nine falls can be repaired casually?" ”
"Hey, what do I say, not only the people in these ten miles and eight towns know, but everyone in the capital knows it, do you know what the emperor calls Lord Zhao today?" Second Uncle Gan raised his head and looked at King Li Chuang, paused for a moment, and continued his wiping: "Zhang Changshou is my father, Zhao Changshou is my mother, you said that this is all with the emperor's family, not to mention this nine-in-nine-down house, no matter how big it is, it's no problem." “
"No wonder, but I'm afraid it costs more than a little to build such a big house." King Li Chuang was also speechless, the emperor didn't pursue it, he was so careful.
"Yes, speaking of which, I still have to talk to you about the old general Huangpu." Second Uncle Gan stopped what he was doing and said it seriously.
"Why do you always like to sing praises for him?" King Li Chuang was shaken by the second uncle Gan's words during the day, and he had to talk about sleeping in one room this night, so he muttered a little impatiently at the moment.
"Haha, I'm not saying good things for him, it's just that he has a little entanglement with this Zhaojiazhuang." Second Uncle Gan saw that King Li Chuang was impatient, and seemed to understand something after a moment's stunned, laughed and then said: "If you want to say that this old general of Huangpu and you want to go together, I just heard the little guy in Zhaojiazhuang boast when I was eating, saying that when the officers and soldiers triumphed in the division last year, the old general of Huangpu passed by this Zhaojiazhuang, and he also felt that this house was out of line, and after he went back, he specially wrote a chapter to impeach Zhao Chang. ”
"Oh! So what happened in the end? King Li Chuang saw that Huang Pu Song wanted to be with him, and he actually felt closer emotionally, so he asked very curiously.
"What else can I do, it's okay!" Second Uncle Gan finally finished wiping his double dragon halberd, and said as he stood up: "That little guy said that Zhao Changfu also went to find trouble with the old general Huangpu for this matter. ”
"This Zhao Chang is fat enough!" Originally, the second uncle Gan said a lot during the day, and King Li Chuang was a little skeptical that he was wrong to blame Huang Pu Song, and now he heard that Huang Pu Song impeached Zhao Chang Song and was found in trouble, thinking of the heavy eighth master saying that Zhao Chang was dealing with Zhang Jun, he couldn't help but worry about Huang Pu Song, so he asked: "No, this Huang Pu general has returned triumphantly and has military merits, so Zhao Chang Song dares to trouble him at this time?" “
"I must have found it, I heard the little guy outside, Zhao Changshi saw that the old general Huangpu impeached him, and was reprimanded by the emperor, and felt unhappy, so he went to the old general Huangpu to borrow money, which clearly asked the old general Huangpu to compensate." Second Uncle Gan put away the double dragon halberd, stretched his waist and said, "It seems that he wants the old general Huangpu to pay 50 million." ”
"50 Million !!" King Li Chuang was taken aback, Zhao Zhong built his own house out of line, and he dared to blackmail the triumphant general who was in the limelight if he couldn't be impeached, this Zhao Changzhi said from a certain point of view, it was really fierce enough, and he was even more worried about Huang Pu Song at the moment, and he didn't even pay attention to the change of his name when he called Huang Pu Song, but asked anxiously: "Did the old general Huang Pu agree?" ”
