Chapter 35 Be polite
Five years have passed, and Zhao Hongxing, who is thirteen years old in this world, has grown a lot taller, coupled with Zhao Zongyang and Xiao Biqiao's excellent appearance genes, he has entered adolescence and looks more and more like "little fresh meat".
Zhao Hongxing is very satisfied with his current appearance, compared to the previous time, it is really much more handsome, although he used to think that men should not pay too much attention to their appearance, but now with such a good skin, it also makes him inexplicably confident a lot.
In the past five years, Zhao Hongxing has lived a very fulfilling life, and he has not fallen behind in martial arts, study, and daily leisurely life. And as for the possibility of succeeding to the throne in the future, he also saw it thoroughly.
Who made his brothers too good, Zhao Hongxing had to give up the hope of winning them.
Five years ago, when Zhao Hongming and Zhao Hongzhe left the capital, they said that they would not come back until they made a name for themselves.
Unexpectedly, these two guys are really talking, and they didn't even come back for the New Year in the first two years. But by the third year, their names were ringing across the continent.
These two brothers led a team of people and united more than a dozen small sects, and it took a year to destroy a super sect.
The process of destroying this super sect is quite tortuous, and it can be summed up as a very royal story of evil not prevailing over good.
Zhao Hongming, who sat in the army to give advice, and Zhao Hongzhe, who took the lead in charging and was unstoppable, the names of these two brothers soon spread throughout the continent, and they also wanted the world to show their very good side.
This gave Zhao Hongxing a headache, how could there be so many evil forces in the world waiting for him to eradicate them with a shovel of justice? Besides, even if he really ran into it, he would be enough to destroy people in two moments.
Zhao Hongxing's martial arts training career in the past five years - if Zhao Hongzhe admits that he is also practicing martial arts - he has made some progress, at least, he can compare with Uncle Wolf who has stepped into the Sevenfold Realm.
This does not mean that Zhao Hongxing also has the realm of the upper sevenfold, his level is still stuck in the upper threefold and has not moved, and this is still directly based on the natural advantage brought by the power of the bloodline. His only improvement in the past five years was finally knowing how to use the various moves he had learned.
Therefore, when Uncle Wolf suppressed his level on the upper triple and put some water appropriately, Zhao Hongxing could also have a few tricks with Uncle Wolf.
Unlike the waste-like Zhao Hongxing, the little girl Le Aya has come to the level of the upper sixfold, as long as this girl can improve her internal strength and mental method, then she can successfully enter the sevenfold at any time.
The most terrifying thing is that this girl is only eleven years old this year.
Zhao Hongxing can understand why Mr. Cang is a good general, and he must give Le Aya a reason to be a master. This girl is a wizard who practices martial arts, whether it is the cultivation of internal strength or the study of swordsmanship, she has shown a talent far beyond ordinary people.
Uncle Wolf must be serious when dealing with Le Aya now, if he is not careful, he may be caught by Le Aya who is proficient in the Wind Breaking Sword Technique, and once she catches the slightest mistake, it will be difficult for him to win, and there is even a danger of defeat.
When Zhao Hongxing was beaten every day in the past, he always felt that Le Aya, who could make swordsmanship perfect, must have a heroic appearance of not letting her eyebrows go when she grows up. But I never expected that as this girl grew older, her appearance became more and more pure and cute. With a shawl hair and a calm and leisurely appearance, she looks like a young lady who is well versed in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the boudoir, where can you see the appearance of splitting people out at the slightest draw?
In terms of force value, Hongyi is more powerful than Zhao Hongxing.
Hongyi, who is already sixteen years old, has only officially received martial arts training five years ago. But as Mr. Cang and Uncle Wolf, Hongyi also showed a very high talent in internal strength and various martial arts.
In the past five years, Hongyi, who had the opportunity to learn martial arts, not only practiced his fists and feet to great strength, but even mastered several weapons proficiently.
However, although Hongyi is only in the realm of the upper fivefold, if it is a simple competition of martial arts skills, even against Shangle Aya, it will not leave any wind at all.
So since Zhao Hongxing was ten years old, Mr. Cang no longer let him practice with Le Aya, but changed Hongyi to play.
Zhao Hongxing knew in his heart that this was the old man's dislike of being too vegetable, and Le Aya couldn't practice anything with him, it was a waste of time.
In the past five years, Zhao Hongxing, Le Aya and Hongyi have gotten along very happily. Le Aya's more and more eye-catching appearance made Zhao Hongxing happy to take her with him - anyway, Le Aya was willing to follow him if he was fine. And Hongyi has become an almighty big brother, no matter how small things in clothing, food, housing and transportation, Zhao Hongxing doesn't need to worry about it, and even when Le Aya is with him, he can also carefully take Le Aya's preferences into account.
In the past five years, Zhao Hongxing has been taken care of by Hongyi. He now felt like he was following the waste, and he didn't have to worry about anything, not even an eleven-year-old girl (and he couldn't beat this little girl when he was six).
That's it, win his three brothers with fart?
Therefore, Zhao Hongxing accepted the reality. While enjoying the leisurely days now, he is preparing for his future "enthronement......
said that it was preparation, but in fact, it was nothing to come out of the palace city, and the families and children of the officials in the capital often walked around or something, and today he responded to the third lady of Gu Shangshu's family to come to the banquet, which is the case. He estimated that when Zhao Zongyang abdicated, it would be almost time for these children to inherit their father's business, so he planned to have a good relationship with them first, so as not to know no one when he "succeeded to the throne".
This is also in the Yanfeng royal family, for any dynasty in the ancient times of Zhao Hongxing's previous life, if the prince is too close to the children of these important ministers in the court, it is called forming a party for personal gain, and the reigning emperor has to wonder if this kid is holding back to usurp the throne as long as he is a little suspicious.
But Zhao Zongyang didn't think so, and was even very happy that Zhao Hongxing was willing to take the initiative to contact the children of those official eunuchs, and gave him a lot of "pocket money".
"Be generous when you go out, don't always let those kids invite you to dinner, they don't dare to fight if you say you want to settle the bill. Zhao Zongyang also deliberately explained to Zhao Hongxing: "If these are not enough, come to me again, you can be regarded as doing something serious." ”
Zhao Hongxing couldn't cry or laugh, his father was so generous, he was naturally happy. However, this can also see how mixed his life is, and going out to "socialize" is a serious matter in Zhao Zongyang's eyes.
Of course, Zhao Hongxing is not a child, he has long passed the age when he will take the money given by the family and go outside to treat X. The money that Zhao Zongyang gave him, in addition to using it to make himself live a more comfortable life, was basically spent in the right place.
Zhao Hongxing doesn't like to come to eat in a restaurant like today. Because this restaurant is decorated and looks at Niu X, the food tastes really average, and after he has eaten it twice, he feels that it is not as delicious as the chef in the palace.
Isn't this nonsense, no matter how awesome the restaurant chef is, he can't compare with the chef in the palace. And no matter how high-end the ingredients in this restaurant are, can they compare with the special ingredients in the palace?
Although Zhao Hongxing didn't feel it, he was actually used to a life of "rotten capital".
Gu Nan, the third sister of the Gu family, is the one who has a good relationship with Zhao Zhongling, and usually calls "sister and sister" very affectionately. Zhao Hongxing had also eaten with her a few times, but it was all at the table hosted by others, and the communication between the two was limited.
After eating in the palace, Zhao Hongxing called Le Aya, anyway, this girl has nothing to do in the palace, so she took her out for a stroll together. Then together with Hongyi, he came to Chenglou in his own carriage.
By the time Zhao Hongxing arrived, it was already dark. As a member of the royal family, there is a rule when you go out to a banquet that you must arrive later than the agreed time.
This represents the dignity of royalty.
Zhao Hongxing didn't understand how this kind of late arrival reflected the identity rule came from, but he felt that it didn't matter, which just allowed him to rub in for a while before going out.
When he opened the door of the private room, Zhao Hongxing heard the sound of laughter in the room, and he thought that these people in the room were talking happily, but after entering the room, he took a closer look at Gu Nan's face and found that something was wrong.
Although Gu Nan got up to greet him, there seemed to be some anger hidden in his eyes.
Zhao Hongxing thought that he was too late, which made Gu Nan a little tired of waiting, and just about to apologize, he heard another very unbeaten voice say.
"This little doll is the prince invited by Miss Gu? At this age, it doesn't look like she can be in charge, right?"
Zhao Hongxing glanced back and found that he was talking like a monkey and dressed like an upstart. With a thin little physique and dark skin, he was dressed in a bright and colorful dress that looked expensive. The clothes were worn on this man, as if he had put a dress on a monkey, and he was even darker. Zhao Hongxing hated his disdainful gaze in his yellow eyes, which made him very uncomfortable.
Zhao Hongxing realized that after being complimented by various people for a long time, he really couldn't stand others looking at him with offensive eyes.
Looking back at Gu Nan again, Zhao Hongxing found that Gu Nan looked at this guy's hand, and the anger in his eyes also deepened.
Oh, it looks like this is an impolite guy from the outside. Zhao Hongxing guessed.
On this continent, the state is not the only organization that controls power, and when the sect and some organizations are large enough to a certain extent, they will also control their own right to speak. Therefore, in many places, imperial power is nothing to the locals, because that realm may not be the emperor as the "boss" at all, but the head of the sect as the "big brother".
But anyone who is sensible knows that no matter what their identity is, as long as they are not in their own territory, they should maintain a humble and kind polite attitude, so that no matter what they do, it will be good for themselves. Politeness will never make you look cheap, and if used correctly, it can even greatly increase the opinion of others.
This guy who looks like a monkey is obviously not very polite, judging from his dress and conversational performance, maybe he is really a nouveau riche, just the material level has improved, but the spiritual level has not kept up.
I'm a prince anyway, even if the person in charge of your hometown is not a royal family, but you should always know how to respect the son of the "boss" of someone else's family, right? Zhao Hongxing muttered in his heart and ignored him.
"Sister Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know what my sister is looking for me today?" Zhao Hongxing came directly to the position prepared for him and sat down, and Le Aya also followed him. And Hongyi, who was standing at the door, didn't know what was deducted in his hand, and silently looked at the nouveau riche who looked like a monkey.
"These are all businessmen who want to talk about cooperation with the royal family's business. Gu Nan raised his hand like Zhao Hongxing and gave a general introduction to what the people in the room were doing.
When these people heard Gu Nan's introduction, they quickly nodded yes.
"This Qi Gongzi and his friends are merchants in our Yanfeng territory. Gu Nan specially mentioned to Zhao Hongxing the combination of a fat and a thin person sitting in the front, "And the others are all foreign businessmen who have business contacts on our Yanfeng border. ”
Zhao Hongxing now understood a general idea, didn't he just want to talk to the royal family about "endorsing products"? These merchants are really willing to spend money to find a relationship, not to mention these two in Yanfeng, these seven or eight overseas businessmen can actually take this path of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials.
Zhao Hongxing glanced at Gu Nan silently, and what made him a little puzzled was that the Gu family never seemed to be involved in this matter, what happened today?
Just as Zhao Hongxing was pondering here, the monkey-looking nouveau riche spoke again.
"This prince, answer me, can you call the shots?" there was really no respect in this guy's words.
"Please address me as 'Your Highness' when you speak to me, I won't do it a second time. Zhao Hongxing corrected. This is the first time he has met someone who talks to him like this in so many years, not to mention that he is not a prince, even if it is just two ordinary people talking directly, this monkey-looking guy is rude enough.
"It's ridiculous. This monkey-looking guy was happy, then looked at the people around him, pointed at Zhao Hongxing and said: "We came all the way to Yanfeng to do business, and they sent a little doll 'Your Highness' to teach us how to speak?"
As soon as he finished speaking, this guy was going to have fun, but as soon as Hongyi, who was standing at the door, raised his hand, he only heard a "snap", and this monkey-like guy covered his hands and screamed.
"I! my finger!" the monkey-looking guy pointed at Zhao Hongxing just now, and something broke it, and it was twisting at a strange angle.
"This boss, be careful about your words and actions. Hongyi said nonchalantly, as if he hadn't thrown the thing that broke the finger.
Hongyi threw a thumb-sized iron ball. Maybe he had suffered the loss of a hidden weapon, so he specially learned such a hidden weapon from the masters in the forbidden army.
"You! You dare to do this to me! Do you know what my identity is!?" The facial features on the nouveau riche monkey's face gathered together, and he stood up and yelled at Zhao Hongxing.
Why does the guy who is slapped in the face like to ask others if they know what his identity is?
"Someone!" Zhao Hongxing ignored him, waved Hongyi out and called two servants over.
"Throw him out of here. Zhao Hongxing said to the two servants who came in.
The two servants said nothing, didn't ask anything, and silently walked up to the monkey-looking nouveau riche, grabbed his arms and pulled the hind legs, lifted him up and sent him to the window. The people around were so frightened that they slammed the tables and chairs into a "clang", and quickly scattered to get out of the way.
"Don't say that I can do this to you, even the two restaurant guys can dare to do this to you, what are you calling this waste?" Zhao Hongxing said slowly between the monkey-looking guy being thrown out.
These two little guys waited for Zhao Hongxing to finish speaking, and worked hard together, throwing this monkey-looking guy out of the window, only to hear the half-sentence scream of "ah", this guy "plopped" and fell into the river.
There should be a patrol battalion patrolling boat in the river at this time, so I don't worry about this guy dying. Zhao Hongxing just tried to play the prestige of being a prince, but he didn't want to really kill. However, what he admired was that the "waiter" service of these two restaurants was really in place, and they let them throw people out, and they didn't even ask and picked them up and threw them out.
It's cool. Zhao Hongxing pretended to be light on the surface, but his heart was actually refreshing.
"Please listen to me. Enough is cool, Zhao Hongxing looked at the frightened people in this room, and said: "Thank you very much for wanting to actively cooperate with the royal family." ”
Zhao Hongxing paused for a moment, and then said: "But in this matter, I really can't be the master. ”
......The atmosphere in the room was suddenly silent, and although these merchants did not speak, their faces already had an expression of "you really say it and throw people down".
"This matter, it's not just me who said it, even the current official family can't do anything about it. Zhao Hongxing explained: "Although this is the business of our Yanfeng royal family, it also has a department dedicated to this matter. If you feel that you can cooperate in this area with your products and financial resources, please submit your application materials to this department and go through the normal process. ”
Zhao Hongxing said that everyone here understands, but if you can really have the confidence to get the opportunity for cooperation, you can't afford to spend money to find a way.
But no one dared to speak at this moment, and everyone was afraid that he would annoy the young prince by talking too much, and become the second unlucky guy to be thrown out.
"Well, I've helped you guys with that. Zhao Hongxing saw that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, and nodded with satisfaction, "If there is nothing else, I will go first."
Even if this matter is dealt with, Zhao Hongxing can finally go home.
"Everyone hasn't eaten yet, so I'll order someone to serve the food, although the matter has not been done, but it will not delay everyone from leaving after eating. Hearing Gu Nan say this, the people in the room nodded yes one after another. That Qi Gongzi raised his head and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but immediately let the thin man next to him press it back.
Gu Nan stood up and said to Zhao Hongxing: "Sixth son, I'll send you away." ”
Zhao Hongxing didn't shirk it, he thought that this Miss Gu family definitely didn't come to him to introduce him to so many merchants, there must be something else.
walked all the way like this, until Gu Nan sent Zhao Hongxing to the carriage downstairs, and when he was about to leave, Gu Nan also asked him something. Zhao Hongxing couldn't hold it back, so he turned around and asked, "Sister Gu, do you have anything else to tell me?" ”
was suddenly asked by Zhao Hongxing, Gu Nan swallowed for a long time before he asked what he wanted to ask.
"Sixth son, your eldest brother...... Is it really going to get married?"
Zhao Hongxing chuckled in his heart after hearing this, and only scolded himself for owing it.
Oh no, no, I'm going to be swept into a Shura field!
