Zhao Hu's mood improved, and he followed Zhao Hanzhang behind his back into Zhao's house.

Zhao Hanzhang deliberately took a detour and went around half a circle before going to Zhao Zhongyu's courtyard.

Although Zhao Hu is not familiar with Zhao's house, he has been here once, and he has lived here for a while that time, and he still remembers the general layout.

At first he didn't react, but when he did, they walked to the place.

Zhao Hu opened his mouth wide to look at the broken eaves in front of him, he first looked back at the way they came, and made sure that this was in Zhao's mansion and not somewhere else, and then exhaled the breath held in his chest, "What's going on?"

Zhao Hanzhang said euphemistically: "In the past, my grandfather used to live in this courtyard, because it was convenient to work here, and although my uncle and grandfather moved to the main house after succeeding as the patriarch, they deliberately sealed this courtyard to send condolences."

"Alas, but I didn't expect that a fire in Luoyang burned this courtyard to the ground." Zhao Hanzhang sighed, led Zhao Hu to continue walking, and went down, bypassing a small garden is the courtyard where she lived, she pointed to the courtyard and said with a smile: "Seventh Uncle Ancestor, this is my courtyard, if you have something in the future, just come here to find me."

Zhao Hu stiffly turned his neck to look at the burned house next door to the courtyard, at this time there was a lot of grass and trees growing in it, he stepped forward to look, and couldn't help frowning, "This is a rose?"

"Yes," Zhao Hanzhang said happily: "Seventh Uncle Ancestor doesn't know, this burned yard is very easy to grow flowers and plants, really, I saw that such a large yard was really wasteful when it was empty, so I asked people to plant some vegetables in the yard, but there are so many people in the house, there are many burned places, and the vegetables planted can't be eaten, so I also let people plant roses."

She laughed, "By the next year, these roses should be able to climb all over the collapsed beams and rubble, and then they won't be able to tell that this is a burned house, and it will look better when they bloom again."

Zhao Hu was speechless, "You don't rebuild?"

Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, "No money."

The house was made of excellent materials, and if she had rebuilt it with ordinary wood and stone, it would not have looked like a family at all compared to the other half that had not been burned.

Not only is it ugly, but every time I see it, I feel uncomfortable, thinking that the house is still enough now, and there is no need to rebuild it at all.

Zhao Hu: ......

He turned around and said, "Where does Zhao Zhongyu live?"

Zhao Hanzhang sent him away with a smile.

The yard is well maintained, and people will clean it every ten years, occasionally ventilate it or something, and prepare the host or guests to stay.

As soon as Zhao Hu moved in, his subordinates opened his suitcase and rushed in with his things.

Don't look at most of the male servants, the movements are fast and delicate, fetch water to wipe the inside and outside of the house, and then bow down and withdraw, carrying the rest of the luggage in, and ...... Money.

Five ox carts, three of which were loaded with money.

The maidservants took out their own mats and laid them out, took out the wooden basins, cloth towels, etc., one by one and put them on the shelves, lit incense, and glass mirrors, a half-meter-high makeup box, which contained Zhao Hu's daily use of incense powder, fat powder, ointment and gold and jade jewelry.

Zhao Hanzhang knelt on the side and chatted with Zhao Hu about new money and old money, and the maid also took out a set of glass pots, poured boiling water into the glass pot, and then used the water in the glass pot to make tea powder......

After the maid stirred quickly, she put a little frosting sugar in it......

Zhao Hu saw that she was dumbfounded, looking like she had never seen the world, so she said proudly: "This is our new way of eating tea in Xiping, but unfortunately there is no goat milk, otherwise adding goat milk to cook together will be more fragrant, more mellow, and more delicious."

Zhao Hanzhang closed his mouth, "It's amazing, I, haven't I been back to Xiping for a year?" There is a new way to eat tea."

Zhao Hu glanced at her and said, "It's not you and Ting Han yet?"

He snorted and said, "You are all too lazy, and the people around you are also lazy, you are not even willing to put ginger and salt in the tea, you just drink it with boiling water, it is tasteless, and those people outside like to chase after it, you drink it like this, they also learn to drink it like this, and the business of my tea house is not good."

Zhao Hanzhang: ......

She set

Calming down, he humbly asked, "And then?"

"And then?" Zhao Hu said, "Then I guess you definitely don't like to eat salty, so if you want to eat sweet, I will have people add sugar to the tea you brew." br>

He said, "Don't say it, it's still delicious with sugar, but the tea leaves are wasted, so I have people grind the tea leaves, add sugar to boil, and finally add some goat's milk to make it more fragrant."

"In addition, you can also add ginger in winter, drink piping hot sweet tea, you can drive away the cold, and in summer, put the boiled tea in the ice basin, the goat's milk is not fishy, with sugar, sweet and silky, it is very thirst-quenching...... Zhao Hu smiled: "When I ask someone to go to the street to buy a milk-producing sheep and come back, Ming'er will make it for you to drink."

Zhao Hanzhang: "...... Thank you, Seventh Ancestor."

Zhao Hu waved his hand indifferently, he looked at the house, a little disgusted, "The furnishings in this house are too simple, your uncle and grandfather are Shang Shuling, and they are the patriarch, why are they so frugal?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "This is the main house, and my grandfather occasionally came to live in the early years."

So at the beginning, this was where Zhao Changyu lived.

"Oh," Zhao Hu retracted his opinion, since it was Zhao Changyu's residence, then there was no problem.

Zhao Hu pointed to the open space next to the screen and said, "There is still a full-length mirror missing, that thing is not easy to bring, because Chen County also has a glass workshop, so I didn't bring the mirror I use the most."

Zhao Hanzhang immediately said, "I'll ask the Treasure Shop to send one to the Seventh Uncle Ancestor."

Zhao Hu touched his beard with satisfaction, and was stroked by Shun Mao for a long time, Zhao Hu then relieved himself about the new money and the old money, "I have weighed it, your new money is lighter than the old money, and it is said that Shudi and Lianghu are recognized, but who knows if the use of new money in the two places will be disliked?"

He said, "For example, if I look at a silk horse at the same time with another person, and offer the same price, but the old money he gives and the new money I give, the shopkeeper gives him because he gives him the old money, and I am also damaged."

Zhao Hanzhang frowned, the trust in coins belongs to the invisible value, and few people can usually expect this, but since Zhao Hu mentioned it, it has to be solved.

"So what does the Seventh Uncle Ancestor mean?"

Zhao Hu became serious and said, "I can exchange new money with you, but I want one to one."

That is, ten of his old coins for twelve new coins.

He raised his hand to stop what Zhao Hanzhang was about to say, and said, "I know what you want to say, but this is already my biggest concession, I am also risky with the new money, if I can't spend it back, these copper plates are just copper in my hands, if this new money is not minted by you, and Zhao Ming gives you a guarantee, I will never change it."

He's a very conservative guy.

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and immediately responded: "Deal!"

Zhao Hu curled the corners of his mouth and said to her, "I just like your cheerfulness, which is not at all different from your grandfather."
