Zhao Hanzhang knew that it didn't make sense to talk to Zhao Hu about the interests of the country and the interests of the people, but only his interests and the interests of the clan, so he didn't mind his complaints, and asked directly: "Which section of the road does the Seventh Uncle Ancestor want to build?" ”

"Any section, closer to Luoyang, the road is longer, and the money is more," Zhao Hu said this, frowning at her, "I can always get the money for road construction on time, right?" I can explain in advance that if you don't pay the money on time, I won't advance the migrant workers for you, and everyone will owe it anyway. ”

Those day laborers didn't dare to do anything to him.

Zhao Hanzhang: "...... Don't worry, you may owe any money, and the money of migrant workers will not be in arrears. ”

The imperial court still owes Zhao Hu a lot of money, and if the treasury is really insufficient, he will drag his share first, and it is impossible to owe it to the migrant workers who sell their coolies.

Zhao Hu didn't know what Zhao Hanzhang was thinking, otherwise he would have regretted talking too much at this time.

When Zhao Song came over with a group of Zhao disciples, the two of them tacitly stopped talking and got up together to salute Zhao Song.

Zhao Song waved his hand, frowned slightly after looking at Zhao Hanzhang's clothes, "How do you wear Hu clothes?" ”

He complained: "Now there are more and more Zhao children staying in the capital, I think Luoyang should also worship ancestors on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the future, and clothes are also etiquette when worshipping ancestors, and there can be no mistakes." ”

Zhao Hu liked Zhao Hanzhang's dress very much, and said on the side: "This is not an ancestor worship, it is a family banquet, naturally how comfortable and good-looking how to wear, if you want me to say, our dress is too cumbersome." ”

Zhao Song's face sank, "Etiquette can't be wasted, Lao Qi, you are just too nonsense, I heard people say, you let the people in the ready-to-wear shop make single clothes, and you will wear single clothes to go out in the future?" ”

Zhao Hu jumped to his feet, "Who leaked the news with you, this is my trade secret!" ”

"The secret of the fart, Zhao Wan, who works in your store, is so angry that he resigned and went home, I know all about this, you are not allowed to do this kind of business, you are not ashamed, you are not ashamed, you only wear single clothes, what is the difference between that and going out in underwear? You're all in your bedroom. ”

Zhao Wan is not a slave, but a member of the Zhao clan, his family is poor, and he has a tailor's craft, so he went to work in Zhao Hu's ready-to-wear shop and worked for ten years, but he didn't expect that one day they would disagree, and Zhao Wan directly fired the boss.

is so casual and free, Zhao Hanzhang is slightly envious in his heart.

"Guo Pu said that this summer is hot, last year was already very hot, and this year it will be even hotter, what clothes can stop it?" Zhao Hu said: "People like us have ice, but most people don't have it, wearing single clothes is the best way, it's a big deal to add a belly pocket inside." ”

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the belly pockets that were now extremely bright for both men and women.

At this moment, he was immediately caught by Zhao Song, he pointed at Zhao Hanzhang and scolded Zhao Hu, "Look at it, you scared Sanniang, can people outside accept it?" You get rid of the idea so that you don't lose it. ”

Zhao Hu turned his head to stare at Zhao Hanzhang and squinted, "Do you think this idea is not good?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly waved his hand, and said under the forced gaze of the two uncles: "I don't understand this business, and I don't understand clothes, so I really can't give advice." ”

Zhao Song: "You always know etiquette, you say, is this etiquette?" ”

Zhao Hu also said to her, "You don't know clothes? Don't you understand why there are always more clothes and fewer robes? ”

Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "I just think it's convenient and how to come, Ah Niang, they all say it's good-looking, that's good-looking." ”

After a pause, she said: "Ceremonial clothing can also change according to current events, I think that the sleeves of daily clothes will be slightly smaller, and it will be more convenient to travel and do things." ”

"That's right," Zhao Hu said: "Now I have made a lot of narrow-sleeved clothes in my ready-to-wear shop, but they are different from Hufu, fifth brother, if you don't like Hufu, you can try this kind of my family, it's very convenient to go out shopping, I'll wear it out for you tomorrow." ”

Zhao Song: "Don't mess around, I'm talking about single clothes......"

Zhao Hanzhang quietly retreated, and the cousins and nephews on the side saw it, and their footsteps moved lightly, silently blocking their sight and covering her to leave.

Zhao Hanzhang threw an approving and grateful look at them, and immediately slipped off the soles of his feet as if he were smeared with oil as soon as he stepped down the steps.

Zhao Song and Zhao Hu quarreled, and no one could convince anyone, but he didn't show it on his face during the meal, and he didn't pull Zhao Hanzhang to judge again.

There are many clansmen of the Zhao family who are now staying in the capital, this is no longer a family banquet, but a family banquet, and all the clansmen in Beijing have to come to eat, including Zhao Wan who was mentioned just now.

He is unemployed and is considering whether to return to his hometown at this time, but he has many brothers in his family, and there is no shortage of him to farm.

But at this time, the tailor's job was not easy to find, he could only work in the shop, and could not sell himself into other people's homes, even if it was a living contract.

The clan did not sell himself as a slave, if he did that, the whole family would be disgraced, and the clan would most likely expel him, and Zhao Wan could not afford this consequence.

Despite this, he was still unwilling to bow his head to Zhao Hu.

Hmph, making such rude clothes, he feels that it is not much worse than the humiliation of extermination.

Zhao Wan was indignant and indignant, and wanted to take the opportunity to eat more, so that he could eat less tomorrow, and he went to Zhao Hu's house to eat on the fifth day of the new year, and he had a three-day banquet, and then decided whether to return to his hometown or stay.

The Wang family was in charge of the banquet, so she was very concerned about the situation of everyone eating and drinking at the banquet, her eyes swept over the two tables in the corner, she thought about it, avoided people and Zhao Hanzhang and said: "You don't just take care of the clansmen close to you, the seventh uncle is like this, he is very rich, if you don't take care of it, he can live a good life." Some people are having a hard time, and they need your help even more. ”

Wang motioned for her to look at the two tables of people eating in the corner, and said in a low voice: "Although they came out with other clansmen, the reason why they came all the way from Xiping to Luoyang was because of your fame. ”

Zhao Hanzhang frowned, "Didn't the Fifth Uncle Ancestor arrange them?" ”

Wang sighed and said: "Your fifth uncle is old, and Zhao Ming is not around, most of these things are handed over to the seventh uncle to do, but he does things as he pleases, and many clansmen have been wronged and have not said anything." ”

"For example, Zhao Wan, there is so much work in a shop, he doesn't like to make single clothes, he has to make other clothes, the seventh uncle forced him to make single clothes, so he had to quit his job," Wang said: "Most of these clansmen from poor families come to Luoyang, most of them come with rich and powerful houses, but they bring them out, but they may not be able to settle down, let alone bring them back." ”

Zhao Hanzhang understood, she smiled and took her mother's hand and said, "It's still my mother's beauty and kindness, I have written down this matter and will deal with it." ”

She paused and said, "Actually, A-Niang can try to help them herself......"

See you tomorrow
