Chapter 169: Cast a wide net and collect more fish!
Wait for ten days to pass.
Zhao Zhou has been in this world for half a year.
It's just that he said goodbye to Hong Xuanji since that day, but he didn't see Hong Xuanji invite him again in these ten days.
But on this day, I saw a light snow suddenly fall in the sky, and it continued to fall for two days and two nights, and it gradually stopped in the early morning of the third day.
But it was also in the early morning of the third day, when the sky was dark.
Zhao Zhou, who was in the inn, listened attentively and heard the sound of 'crackling' firecrackers outside the window, echoing on the nearby street from time to time, and in front of hundreds of houses.
And this is also the end of the year, some people and businessmen who get up early will hang lanterns to add color, and at the same time lead their children to set off a small cannon battle to celebrate in advance.
But the big rich and noble, or the high-ranking officials and generals, the mansion is even busier!
Although they did not set off any artillery fights, hundreds of servants got up early before dawn and began to clean the inside and outside of the mansion under the command of the butler, eager to 'peel off a layer of skin' from the whole mansion.
Similarly, Hong Xuanji didn't come to Zhao Zhou for a drink for nearly half a month, and it was also a close time in recent years, and there were many things to prepare, so he spent most of his time thinking about countermeasures with Yang Pan.
Compared with which frontier general has merit, it should be rewarded.
Which minister of the DPRK and China should send as many 'New Year's goods' as it is appropriate.
In the coming year, what policies will be changed, which 'newcomers to the imperial court' need to be sent to make meritorious contributions outside the borders, and which meritorious newcomers will return to the imperial court to take up their posts.
And, most importantly, the reception of the envoys of various countries who came to worship from all over the world! 'Don't lose the grace of the state of etiquette!
And this sounds like it is related to the interests of many people, as well as the changes in the 'enemy' policy, it does take a lot of thought to prepare and improve, and there is not so much spare time for Zhao Zhou to drink.
But it's also been busy in the past two days.
Hong Xuanji ordered the 'Steward Wu' in the mansion last night to take a lot of 'extraterritorial tributes' and specially sent them to Zhao Zhou to let his friend taste them.
To put it bluntly, the gift is a disguise, and the fact is to ease the relationship between the two.
And Zhao Zhou has also tasted it, and the conclusion is that it is not only inferior to his own 'craftsmanship', but also inferior to the thick-skinned bun at the door of the store.
It's just that.
Since Hong Xuanji sent his henchmen to give gifts, Zhao Zhou must have exchanged gifts, and by the way, he dispersed the 'play' half a month ago.
Otherwise, it's not good to do too much play.
You have to save some face for others, and you can't shoot them to death with one shot.
In particular, Zhao Zhou has been an official and a businessman for a hundred years, and he is also well versed in the way of 'if you want to hurry, you can't reach it'.
"I've been here for about half a year, and I've been completely integrated into the Great Qian Imperial Court."
"And looking at this holiday, many ministers sent people to congratulate and give gifts. At this point, I have to go back and forth one by one in order to appear notarized. ”
Inside the inn.
Zhao Zhou pondered, so he took out the remaining score script of 'Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness' from the space, and prepared to give it to Hong Xuanji as a gift.
The other ministers simply copied a few poems as a thank you.
After all, as a 'champion', he uses his own handwritten poems, which is also a non-committal thing.
Not to mention, his current poetry has been hyped up by many rich children! ’
Of course. This is also why Zhao Zhou doesn't write much, so the price is high, and the high price is 'in short supply'.
Otherwise, if this is written too much, the price will definitely fall.
And Zhao Zhou finished sorting out these, first took a small square box containing the 'Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness', and prepared to go to Wuhou Mansion to visit the door, and the rest of the calligraphy and paintings were said slowly.
And Zhao Zhou just opened the door of the inn, and also saw more than 50 royal forest soldiers who lived in the imperial capital, and now they all came from the snow from afar, rushed outside the inn, prepared the carriage, and waited for their orders.
It can be seen that in the past six months, many people have been impressed by Zhao Zhou's personality charm, and they are willing to do what they can when they celebrate the New Year in Xiaoxuetian.
But when Zhao Zhou saw it, he didn't call everyone again, but said amiably: "The New Year is approaching, you soldiers should go home quickly." Besides, in this cold weather, I am tired from running around, and I will inevitably freeze my body, and I will have to raise it again in the spring of next year. ”
"Boss, I'll wait.." The Imperial Foresters still want to say more.
"Let's go back." Zhao Zhou waved his hand and motioned for them to go home for the New Year and see their parents, family, or wives and children.
But.
All the royal forest soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, they are all immovable, they help each other a little, and their thoughts are very sincere.
So Zhao Zhou noticed everyone's thoughts, and said again: "Those who are in the realm of warriors can stay in the cold when they encounter severe cold."
"Yes!" All the royal forest soldiers were overjoyed, leaving the three of them to turn the carriage around and head towards the direction of Wuhou Mansion.
But the rest of the people didn't go far, but after seeing Zhao Zhou leaving, they invariably walked back to the same place, turned into the inn from the backyard, and then wiped their sleeves and began to clean the inside and outside of the inn.
And at the same time.
In the mansion of 'Wuhou' Hong Xuanji, there are nearly 1,000 servants who are busy clearing snow and cleaning up debris in full swing.
In particular, this 'cleaning' has lasted for five whole days, making the mansion spotless inside and outside, and not allowing the guests and dignitaries who came to give gifts to laugh after seeing the dirty mess of the Wuhou Mansion.
"Today, Zhuang Yuanlang may visit Benhou, don't lose etiquette." Hong Xuanji explained to Steward Wu, and asked him to go to the warehouse to get some gold, silver, and clothes as a New Year's gift, and reward the servants in the mansion.
Of course, his sons and daughters also have big red envelopes, enough to buy some gold and silver jewelry, or sharp weapons during the Chinese New Year.
But in a compound in the Wuhou Mansion, nearby people were serving tea and water to clear the snow.
In the pavilion in the courtyard, several of Hong Xuanji's sons and daughters not only drank tea and rested in the pavilion, but also held a few ingots of gold, sighing.
"A pair of calligraphy and paintings of Zhuang Yuanlang are so expensive, these ingots of gold can't afford to buy at all... But my father has it, but he won't give it to me." One of Hong Xuanji's daughters was picking at the gold, her eyes were yearning, and she wanted a 'champion inscription'.
"Little sister, you can be content." Hong Xuanji's eldest son snorted, "Our military salary plus New Year's gift is all consumed in the army, and we are fully equipped." Now there is not a single copper plate, and they are embarrassed to go to Brother Li and them to drink. ”
"Hahaha, but the eldest brother has enough people, but he has been appreciated by the saint!" Hong Xuanji's second son, "This is something that money can't buy!" ”
"It's still the second brother who can speak as an official." The eldest brother thought about it left and right, and felt right, so he toasted him with a cup of tea, looked at the gold in the little sister's hand and said, "If you don't want this gold, you might as well give it to your brother." How is it? ”
"The beauty of thought!"
Hong Xuanji's daughter snorted lightly, stood up and left. The two brothers laughed.
Only, they had a good chat.
But although Hong Yi is also Hong Xuanji's son, he doesn't have any red envelopes to take, but celebrates his New Year alone in his broken hut.
And Hong Yi has no surprises about this.
On the contrary, he was still reading and writing in his hut at this time, silently reciting the principles of the sages, which was completely different from those of his generation who were still enjoying the atmosphere of the New Year!
This can be seen that although Hong Yi is young, only fifteen or sixteen years old, he already knows very well the way of forbearance that 'a big husband can bend and stretch'!
Especially when he knows that if he wants to have a way out, he can only make up for it by his own efforts, and he will be admitted to last year's 'top liberal arts!' ’
This is also because Hong Xuanji does not let him practice martial arts, he can only find another way.
"Seeing the nature of the heart, in order to achieve self-improvement.."
It's just that Hong Yi wrote for a while, and then dipped it in ink, but found that there was no ink in the inkstone.
Seeing this, Hong Yi stopped writing and meditated on what he had just learned, before taking out a little money from the mezzanine under the bed.
"My father didn't let me learn martial arts, and he didn't want me to study. And my brothers and sisters, each of them has more than 100 scented ink strips, and they also want to ask for a thousand words of gold and pen and ink. How could there be such an embarrassing situation? ”
"But if they really don't have ink strips and no ink to put down their pens, they will have someone to buy it a long time ago, and they don't need to worry about it."
Hong Yi rubbed the little money, shook his head, and felt that it was useless to think too much, so he stuffed the money into his sleeve, opened the door, and prepared to go to the street to buy some cheap ink strips and come back.
But it was about half an hour after he left Wuhou Mansion.
Zhao Zhou also sat in a carriage and walked to the gate of the Wuhou Mansion hung with red lanterns.
"Briefing." A royal forester who was driving stepped forward and was about to tell the guard in front of the door about Zhao Zhou's identity.
But as Zhao Zhou lifted the curtain slightly, the guards in front of the door suddenly knelt down and bowed when they saw Zhao Zhou's appearance, shouting, "I've seen Zhuangyuanlang!" ”
Because they are on duty in front of the door, they can do nothing, but if they don't know what Zhuangyuanlang looks like, and if they are still the best friends of their own Wuhou, then they can roll up and go home to 'be unemployed' that day.
Thereupon.
This is the hardest thing to get into, and there must be no one to stop you.
And Zhao Zhou also reasoned to let a few Royal Forest soldiers go back for a good year, and there was no need to follow him to busy with everything.
Anyway, this intention is fulfilled.
And Zhao Zhou sent the three of them away, and they hadn't walked a few steps yet.
Hong Xuanji, who learned the news of his arrival in the house, also brought a family to greet him, as if he had become a family!
However, Zhao Zhou knew that Hong Xuanji befriended him, which was nothing more than the similarity of personality and strength between the two, plus his plan with Emperor Qiandi was too big, so he also wanted to let himself get involved.
It can be said that Hong Xuanji made friends with himself, and there were five or five of his 'sincerity' and 'purpose'.
"Come on."
But Zhao Zhou thought about it, and still touched a few red envelopes pasted on red rice paper like an elder and distributed them to Hong Xuanji's children. And there are 100 taels of silver tickets in it, which is more than what their biological father Hong Xuanji gave!
"Thank you, Master Zhao!" Several people didn't take it apart when they got their hands, and although they were only a dozen years younger than Zhao Zhou's 'age', or a few years old, they still called Zhao Zhou 'Zhao Shi' according to their father's instructions. ’
That is, the meaning of teacher, elder.
"Champion Lang, will you drink two glasses of monkey wine later? I kept it for you. Hong Xuanji didn't do what happened half a month in advance, but was more relieved to see that his yard was clean and he didn't embarrass himself.
"The kiwifruit sent by Xuanji is a wonderful thing, the entrance is fragrant and smooth, like the nectar of the fairy family, and the mountain is the clouds." Zhao Zhou didn't do that either, but talked about the 'extraterritorial tribute' that was not delicious at all, and it was not as good as the 'extraterritorial tribute' of 'thick skin and less meat and less black-hearted buns'.
But this 'kiwifruit' has been eaten. When Zhao Zhou speaks, he must pick something good.
This is also to prove that you are indeed eating.
"Champion Lang said kiwifruit." Hong Xuanji thought about it for a moment, but in an instant, he thought of the kind of 'extraterritorial fruit' with aura, which can indeed be regarded as a good product! ’
At least Hong Xuanji likes to eat, but he is reluctant to eat.
It's just that he saw that Zhao Zhou seemed to like it, so he took it as an apology a few days ago, and said with some pain in his heart: "If Zhuang Yuanlang likes it, when he leaves for a while, I will ask Steward Wu to send another hundred catties."
"This.." Zhao Zhou glanced at Hong Xuanji, saw his sincere appearance, and said with a smile: "This is very good."
Zhao Zhou said, patted the box in his hand, handed it to Hong Xuanji and said: "I also wrote the whole chapter of the whole book of the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness." Now it is given to Yu Xuanji as a return gift. ”
"Is the gift too heavy?" Hong Xuanji said that he didn't want it, but he suddenly took it in his hand, and said again: "Champion Yuanlang, when the year passes, I will invite a drama troupe to learn this score."
Hong Xuanji said this, but glanced at the children next to him.
"Father, Master Zhao, the children go to the back kitchen to see if the wine and food are complete." The children understood that their father had something important to discuss with him, so they left while leaving his subordinates to clean up elsewhere.
At this time, Hong Xuanji led Zhao Zhou into the house, and then said: "These seven heroes and five righteousness, the saint has also seen it, and appreciates the extraordinary talent of Zhuang Yuanlang!"
Hong Xuanji said and poured a good cup of tea for Zhao Zhou, "And when the time comes, wait for the score to be completed." The Holy Lord may ask me to go to the palace with Zhuang Yuanlang and listen to the music with the Holy One. ”
"It's an honor." When Zhao Zhou saw Hong Xuanji say this, he basically understood that Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji were ready to start using the plan of 'wooing' themselves and starting to 'transcend the other side'!
But if it seems to outsiders who don't know the 'Hong Xuanji and Yang Pan Plan', then it will be to accompany the saint to listen to a song.
Because many ministers have such experiences, it is not special to say it.
But Zhao Zhou knew too much and thought deeper.
According to the data, as well as my observations in the past six months, Hong Xuanji's realm is 'half-step human immortal' and is gradually opening up the acupuncture point. ’
But Yang Pan has always been vague, I can only estimate that at least it should be 'possessed', after 'penetrating the entrance of life and death', he will pass through the thunder tribulation, his thoughts will be pure yang, and he will become a ghost immortal. ’
'Just. Yang Pan is now blessed with all kinds of treasures from the treasury, even if he is really not a ghost immortal, but the ghost immortal master who has survived three or four thunder tribulations in a row, as long as he dares to come to Daqian, he can leave them all. ’
And. They still have a lot of back-ups. Because twenty years ago, even the world's number one master, the 'Oneiroi Machine', who had survived eight thunder tribulations, was conspired by them to destroy his body. ’
As you can imagine, they pulled me into the plan, and they must have all kinds of plans, and they are not afraid of my betrayal at all. ’
It's the fact that I'm working with them now is the real 'Tiger's Skin!' ’”
Zhao Zhou thought about it for a moment, so he straightened things out, but he also agreed.
Anyway, I don't have the intention of usurping the throne, and now everything is normal, so I must go to get some benefits!
And Zhao Zhou and Hong Xuanji finished discussing this 'ordinary listening to music', and then had a meal as usual, and then left.
It's just that.
Zhao Zhou left the Wuhou Mansion and bid farewell to Hong Xuanji.
I hadn't walked four or five miles along the street, but I saw Hong Yi who was looking for cheap 'ink strips' everywhere.
"The year is approaching, and the shops I frequented are not open. And now it's too expensive to open the door, it's just a sky-high asking price." Hong Yi looked for two or three hours, but he was already out of breath and his face was red from exhaustion.
When Zhao Zhou saw Hong Yi, he also thought that all lines had to be taken, and he had the idea of 'casting a wide net, collecting more fish, and choosing the best', so he went to Hong Yi's side.
"Virtuous nephew, why is the New Year approaching, and I haven't reunited with my family in the mansion." Zhao Zhou and amiable.
"Champion Lang!" Hong Yi suddenly saw Zhao Zhou, who had helped him speak half a month ago, and suddenly a smile appeared on his tired face, and he bowed. It's just that although he saw Zhao Zhou alone, he thought about it again, but he still didn't say anything, and he was a little silent for a while.
But when Zhao Zhou saw it, he realized that there were few pedestrians nearby, and there were no spies from Wuhou Mansion within a radius of hundreds of meters, but he took out a palm-sized 'ordinary evolution beast' medicinal meal, handed it to Hong Yi's hand and said: "This thing is a kind of spirit beast medicine, taking it can enhance your physique and improve your physical strength."
Zhao Zhou said, and felt that Hong Yi was 'wary and doubtful' in his heart, but said again: "I also heard about the virtuous nephew. And I'm always an outsider, and I can't interfere. But I also thought that my virtuous nephew had the heart to learn from martial arts, and I couldn't bear it, so I gave this thing. Wangxian's nephew is successful and has a good conversation with Wuhou. ”
"After all, it's the nephew's own father." Zhao Zhou's words were sincere, and he seemed to 'help Hong Yi because he wanted to make their father and son want to make peace'.
But in fact, it doesn't work at all.
Therefore, Zhao Zhou's behavior like this is to make trouble!
But.
Although Zhao Zhou had many treasures, in the end, after thinking about it, he still chose the evolutionary beast medicinal diet with the worst medicinal effect, but it could also produce immediate results.
Because I have been in business for a hundred years, I don't know how to enter 'risk stocks'.
Even if Hong Yi is detached in the future, it will be immortal.
But he is still just a little scholar now, what if he is given some good medicine that suddenly increases his strength, and then Hong Xuanji perceives the danger and then beats him to death?
Wouldn't that be missing a 'big net!' ’
And Hong Yi died, and in the future, he will definitely not meet gods and kill gods, and kill Buddhas like the original book!
Thereupon.
Zhao Zhou thought about it like this, and now he only invests in a small 'risk stock', which belongs to 'crossing the river by feeling the stones', even if it is discovered by Hong Xuanji, it doesn't matter if he misses a piece of dispensable medicinal food.
Anyway, ordinary medicinal food is already a stuff that presses the warehouse.
If it weren't for the large enough space, Zhao Zhou would have wanted to throw it into the river to feed the fish.
So far.
This medicinal diet that is not very effective, but it really strengthens the physique is here.
As long as Hong Yi ate it, he didn't let Hong Xuanji notice it. Instead, like the original book, it gets the opportunity to rise!
With Hong Yi's 'kindness will be repaid' character, Zhao Zhou is of course making a lot of money!
At least there are a lot of unclear 'secret information' on the information, and Hong Yi will talk to him, or take himself over to see it.
In a little more than a year, this Hongyi began to soar like a cloud. And in the middle of the year, it is the key to a good relationship. Zhao Zhou's calculations are instantaneous, and he also knows the 'wealth and law', all of which are indispensable.
And this 'couple' is not a lover couple.
Because it is recorded in Taoism: 'Couple' is a Taoist friend and a master.
In particular, in the "Book of Rites" written by the disciples of Confucius, it is even more said: If you learn alone and have no friends, you will be lonely and unheard!
Equally.
Zhao Zhou made this 'Taoist friend with great luck' today, so he will naturally be well-informed in the future!
If you get any more 'secret vault', won't you have all the 'wealth, law, and land'!
Of course.
Zhao Zhou took the opportunity of Hong Yi to obtain these treasures, and he would also keep some of the things he didn't use for him.
After all, this is kind of anger!
And after Zhao Zhou finished thinking about this, he also felt that this plan was even more wonderful!
It can be called low cost, high return, and it is idle to invest in one inverse and ten thousand!
It's just that.
Zhao Zhou has been paying attention to Hong Yi in this short moment, but his face must be amiable, and he said with a kind expression: "Zhuangyuanlang is too distant. If you don't dislike it, you can call me a teacher. ”
"Teacher!" Hong Yi took the medicinal food and put it away solemnly, and without saying a word, it was just a bow!
This worship is to thank Zhao Zhou for promising his 'treasure medicine', and it is also to worship Zhao Zhou's knowledge!
But more importantly, I want to find a 'backer'.
This is also a mutual need.
Even if Zhao Zhou knew, he didn't care, but said another 'big news!' ’
"The saint decided a few days ago that the teacher will be the main exam for the next imperial examination."
"The teacher is the main exam?!" Hong Yi raised his head suddenly, and as soon as he thought about it a little, he suddenly 'pinched' it, and his mind was very right.
Zhao Zhou realized at this time, and also patted Hong Yi's shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter who is the main exam, or who checks the papers." Teachers don't favor anyone, and everything needs to be done by themselves. ”
Zhao Zhou said, standing with his hands in his hands, "You know, even if the teacher lets you pass, this knowledge can fool others, but you can't fool yourself." ”
"Teacher!" Hong Yi was greatly inspired, and for a moment he felt that the 'teacher' was like the ancient sages of the books he studied, educating the world!
But Zhao Zhou then knew that the purpose of his coming out was to take an ordinary pen and ink and give it to Hong Yi, so that he could go back earlier and save himself from being troubled by his father.
It also seems to be more reasonable.
And waited for Hong Yi to be moved and reluctant to leave.
Zhao Zhou was in his hand, and the six senses swept around, realizing that there were indeed no 'spies' here, so he walked away like an ordinary person.
