Chapter 45: Dividing the Spoils
"Good poetry, good poetry!" Mr. Zhang heard Cheng Zhixian finish reciting this poem, and then he clapped his hands and admired, "Dong Weng's poem is talented, and it is enough to look down on the entire literary world!" ”
"Haha! Yunqi, please be seated! I need to explain to you, but I didn't write this poem. Cheng Zhixian lifted his beard and said.
Mr. Zhang, named Shipeng, is a word cloud.
"Didn't Dong Wong do it? So who did it? Mr. Zhang sat down and asked.
"It was made by Zheng Hao, this son's talent is really amazing, a small poem written last time is beautiful and gratifying, but this time the song "Yongshi" is shocking to the world, rare, rare!" Cheng Zhixian said.
"It turned out to be Zheng Gongzi's doing, it's really a terrifying young man!" Mr. Zhang sighed.
"What happened to Yunqi?" Cheng Zhixian asked.
"But it's just for Zheng Gongzi's business." Mr. Zhang said.
"What about Zheng Hao?" Cheng Zhixian asked.
"Yu Dong Weng, he wants to rent the 'Four Seas Restaurant' under Chang Bin's name, and now he is sitting in my room." Mr. Zhang said.
"Huh? He even wants to rent Sihai Building? What is this trying to do? Cheng Zhixian frowned.
"Dong Weng, according to his own statement, he wants to do some business and make a living." Mr. Zhang said respectfully.
"You told him to come to me." Chengzhi County Road.
"Yes!" Mr. Zhang got up and left, returning to his room.
"Mr. Zhang, what does the county lord say?" Zheng Hao saw Mr. Zhang coming, and hurriedly got up and asked.
"Dong Weng wants you to come over." Mr. Zhang said.
Zheng Hao went to see Cheng Zhixian.
"Meet your lord!" Zheng Hao bowed down to Cheng Zhixian to salute.
"Sit down." Cheng Zhixian nodded.
Zheng Hao sat down.
"Zheng Hao, I've read your new "Song History", it's really a masterpiece! A poet like you is extremely rare in our dynasty! Cheng Zhixian praised it.
Zheng Haoxin said that Cheng Zhixian's information was really well-informed, and he knew that he had made a new work so quickly.
In this era, the speed at which word of mouth information spreads is also amazing.
"Lord Xie praises, the kid is just a last skill, and he can't get into the eyes of adults." Zheng Hao said.
"It's good that you know it's the last skill, poetry is just a condiment after all, and Shiwen is the cornerstone of our journey on the Qingyun Road, but it can't be wasted. Virtuous nephew! I want you to study your homework and write more essays to practice your writing, why did you come out to visit friends again, and last night you slept on the prostitute's painting boat? You are still young, you can't be nostalgic for the land of dogs and horses, coveting the lust of women, and you will eventually lose your big because of the small, you know? Cheng Zhixian preached to Zheng Hao.
Zheng Hao was quite depressed, but he didn't expect Cheng Zhixian to even know that he was staying on Bian Yujing's painting boat last night.
This county lord is not an agent, and he is too condescending.
"Back to my lord, the kid didn't dare to come nonsense, but yesterday I heard that Wu Meicun was coming, and the kid wanted to meet Mr. Meicun, so he went to the appointment." Zheng Hao lied a little.
"Hmmm! Mr. Umemura is also a poet, so it's good to see and learn more. Nephew, it's not been a few days before the county exam, you have to work hard. "Cheng Zhi County Road.
"Please rest assured, I will do my best to prepare for the exam." Zheng Hao bowed and said.
Cheng Zhixian glanced at Zheng Hao and said, "I have asked Mr. Zhang to help you with the application matters and miscellaneous matters such as mutual knots, and on the day of your exam, just go over early to take the exam." ”
"Thank you, sir, for bothering you." Zheng Hao said gratefully.
Before the county exam, it is necessary to go to the county ceremonial room to apply for the exam, in addition to registering, but also to tie up, that is, to find five children who should take the exam to settle the insurance policy, if one person cheats, five people will be held responsible.
The statement is to ask the county to have a guarantee to prove that the candidate is not impersonated, not hidden, not substituted, not pseudonymized, guaranteed to be innocent, not the children and grandchildren of prostitutes, and has not committed a crime and practiced cheap business.
Then, you can take the exam.
Therefore, even taking a small county exam is quite cumbersome.
Now, this bunch of small things Cheng Zhixian has done for Zheng Hao.
Of course, the reason why Cheng Zhixian did this was just to repay Zheng Hao for saving his daughter. Now it's out of appreciation and respect.
"You're welcome! Zheng Hao, I heard Mr. Zhang say, you want to rent Sihai Building to make a living, but do you have such a thing? Cheng Zhixian asked again.
"Yes, I don't have any acres of land in my name now, and what the kid thinks is that I need to do some business and make some progress in order to revitalize my family." Zheng Hao replied.
"It's rare that you are so thoughtful, if you want to make a living, I naturally want to fulfill you! Virtuous nephew, Sihai Restaurant will be sent to you, the title deed and the deed transfer, you can find Mr. Zhang to handle it for you. Cheng Zhixian said.
Zheng Hao was happy in his heart.
Such a restaurant worth two or three hundred taels of silver, said that he would give it to himself, which is really generous.
"What's so embarrassing?" Zheng Hao rubbed his hands and said.
"What's so embarrassing? You saved Ping'er, and you helped me get rid of Chang Bin, a thief, shouldn't I thank you? Zheng Hao, I bought this restaurant and gave it to you at my own expense, all the procedures are legal, and you don't have to have a psychological burden. Cheng Zhixian said with a smile.
Zheng Hao said in his heart, your brother's annual income is only 90 stone rice, which is about more than 40 taels of silver when converted into silver, how can you buy a restaurant worth two or three hundred taels out of your own pocket and give it away?
Zheng Hao estimated that Cheng Zhixian could get two or three thousand taels of silver from the disposal of Chang Bin's family wealth and put it into his pocket.
Therefore, he felt that he should also take over this restaurant.
He was no longer polite, and said with a smile: "My lord, then I might as well be respectful." ”
"Hmm! There you go! Remember to write a few more essays to practice your hands. Cheng Zhixian waved his hand and said.
Coming out of Cheng Zhixian's house, Mr. Zhang went to get busy, handled the transfer procedures of Sihai Building for Zheng Hao, and handed over the title deed to Zheng Hao.
Zheng Hao said goodbye to Mr. Zhang, but saw Cheng Fanglian beckoning to him by the moon gate of the back house.
Zheng Hao's heart suddenly moved.
He thought to himself, I don't know if there are any questions for this county exam among the few current questions handed over to him by the county, but there must be a greater chance?
This little Lori writes in a decent manner, much better than her own, why don't you ask her to help her write all these eight-strand essay questions, and memorize them to cope with the exam?
Zheng Hao is also a lazy person who can be lazy, and he walked over when he thought of this.
"Lian'er, what's the matter with you?" Zheng Hao asked Cheng Fanglian with a smile.
"Brother Hao, you can swing with me, I'm quite boring alone." Cheng Fanglian pouted and said.
It turned out to be that she let herself play with her.
