Zhao Ji stared at Zhao Gou with a suspicious expression.

He is not stupid, but when he first returned to Beijing, he didn't know anything about the life of Zhao Gou and others for more than a year, and he didn't know whether it was true or false for a while.

Zhao Gou was a little weak by his father, so he took the initiative to ask: "Father, I heard Xiaowen say that you and the third brother have no residence. Why didn't Han Zhen build a mansion for his father? ”

Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Ji's mouth twitched, not knowing how to answer.

It's really the title of Jingjie Waiting, it's too shameful for him to speak.

Zhao Kai on the side looked indignant, and said angrily: "Han Zhen'er deceived people too much, and even made his father a clean street, not only did he not have food and mansions, but he also had to sweep the streets every day!" ”

In the mountains, he can get a bowl of rice to eat with his ability, and there is no reason why he will starve to death in the city of Tokyo.

Downlink: Celebrities have always had tribes, and today they are everywhere, and heroes are in need of each other.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu hugged Zhao Ji's thighs tighter, for fear that his father would leave them and run away like last time.

originally wanted to find relief from his children, but one by one they lived so miserably.

Han Zhen sneered and said firmly: "Believe it or not, your father is definitely drinking and having fun at this moment." ”

Zhao Xu asked: "What did Lao Jiu deceive the third brother?" ”

A hint of disgust flashed in Zhao Kai's eyes.

Shanglian: I hate not seeing the ancients, it is a state of seniority like a forest, and all the works of literature and color are gone.

Hearing this, Zhao Kai became even more angry: "Let's go, let's settle accounts with him!" ”

"No need."

As for the Zhao Xu family, who were still starving, they had long been looked back at by their father and son.

I have to say that Zhao Ji's talent in art is indeed exaggerated.

After that, Han Zhen summoned Liu Chang and instructed: "Tell me about Zhao Ji's whereabouts." ”

Xing Bingyi suddenly stopped, and raised his willow eyebrows: "What's the matter, suffer with you, and don't allow the slave family to complain a few words, and still treat yourself as King Kang?" Those brothers and sisters, when they borrowed money, their chests slapped loudly, today you are five times, tomorrow he is ten times, more than a year, the IOU has been stored in a large drawer, and no one has come to repay the money. ”

The four wives and concubines were dressed in coarse clothes and linen, each holding a child in their arms, and looked at Zhao Ji with teary eyes.

Located next to the western city wall, this place is on the very edge of the outer city, and its only advantage is that it is cheaply rented.

Compared with Zhao Gou, Zhao Xu was even more miserable, renting and living in an alley next to Xinzheng Gate, crowded into a small courtyard with three other families.

With 8,000 yuan, Zhao Ji's whole temperament has changed, and he has returned to his former chic appearance.

Zhao Ji didn't know what to say for a while, and froze in place.

"It's good to recognize it."

Seeing this, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Two hundred times a word!" ”

The four treasures of the study are all the best in the store.

"We're not developed again, if that's the case, let's pay back the slave's family's money first."

“……”

Zhao Xu had four wives and concubines, four sons, and seven daughters.

The shopkeeper took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone with a smile on his face.

After a while, Zhao Ji asked sneeringly, "...... Junhu still has a small courtyard, why are you so miserable? ”

“……”

Zhao Xu hugged Zhao Ji's thigh, crying was heartbroken.

In the past, Zhao Fujin would hurriedly pull Han Zhen to create people, but today he lacks interest.

After comforting Zhao Xu for a while, Zhao Ji walked out of the small courtyard under the disappointed eyes of his daughters-in-law and grandchildren.

Worthy of the father!

For a moment, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Zhao Ji smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Ji asked, "Where does the fifth child live now?" ”

To be able to be the shopkeeper, he is naturally a clever person, and immediately heard the voice of Zhao Ji's words, and said with great joy: "Today, a magpie has been calling, and the old clumsy is still wondering, I never thought that it was you who came, if you can leave the ink treasure, the old clumsy will definitely give the pen fee." ”

Zhao Ji got up and said, "There's no need for dinner, my father is here to visit you, and I'll go to other children's homes to sit down later." ”

He was happy, and the shopkeeper of the bookstore was even happier.

How could Xing Bingyi not have a little resentment in his heart.

It can be seen from today's court meeting in Yanfu Palace that Han Zhen is extremely dissatisfied with their father and son, if these words are transmitted to Han Zhen's ears by the secret spy department, it will be impossible to save his life.

I thought that my father came back to look for me, and the hard days finally came to an end, but who would have thought that my father was worse than himself, not only was he penniless, but he didn't even have a place to live.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and he endured the hunger in his stomach, Zhao Kai said with a sad face: "Father, is it true that you are going to sleep on the streets tonight?" ”

Looking at the dozen or so people around him, Zhao Ji was suddenly dumbfounded.

Evening.

Zhao Xu replied: "The fifth brother and the sixth brother, as well as the eleventh and twelfth brothers, now live in Yingsheng Township outside the city. ”

At first, it was okay, and many wealthy merchants in the city were willing to invite him to a banquet.

Zhao Gou deliberately retained.

Etiquette?

Speaking of this, Zhao Xu stopped crying, and said with disdain: "Lao Jiu, he was willing to degenerate, and he went to be a helper, although he made a few stinky money, but he also lost all the face of our clan. ”

The shopkeeper patted his chest and promised: "Emperor Taishang, don't worry, this old man is smashing pots and selling iron, and he has to leave your ink treasure." How about a hundred words in one word? ”

Zhao Ji nodded, and said proudly: "I look at the couplet in front of your shop, my hands are itchy for a while, and I also want to write a subcouplet." ”

He, Han Zhen, is now the emperor, with Tianxian in his mouth, what he says is etiquette, who dares to say a word?

Zhao Xu let go of Zhao Ji's thighs, got up and said: "Father, it's not that the child is unfilial, it's really impossible to live at home, more than a dozen people are crammed into one room, and there is no place to get up at night, do you want to go to the fifth brother's house for a turn?" ”

This couplet is sold by hand, and it is like playing with three or five times.

More than a dozen people, crammed into a small room, how can this live?

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, astronomy, all of them are all perfect, all of them are refined.

Zhao Gou was ashamed and angry, but he didn't dare to be angry, and smiled: "Don't worry, madam, I'll urge you after a while." ”

A group of children heard the movement and gathered around.

Zhao Gou smiled bitterly: "I'm not the only one, the brothers are all living poorly. The sisters are okay, all the husbands and daughters went back to their in-laws' houses with the horses, and the young people who didn't have their husbands' families, the fifth sisters and the fourteenth sisters also helped to find a brisk job. But I managed to save a small life, and I didn't dare to ask for anything else. ”

Zhao Ji's father and son were so tired that they were panting, looking at the dirty courtyard, their hearts suddenly chuckled.

As soon as he heard that he lived outside the city, Zhao Ji suddenly extinguished his thoughts of going.

After all, his father is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and Han Zhen should not be harsh.

After dinner, Han Zhen and Zhao Fujin returned to the dormitory.

He just hasn't seen the people's suffering, but he is not stupid, compared with the old five family, Lao Jiu is obviously living a very nourishing life, a small courtyard with a single family, and maids to make, but only then did he pretend to be poor with them.

Seeing the backs of Zhao Ji and the two disappear from view, Xing Bingyi changed his face and snorted lightly: "I used to ignore it, but now I am down, but I think of us." ”

"It's okay."

Zhao Xu opened his mouth, his heart was like ashes.

Hearing this price, Zhao Ji was satisfied, and waved his hand: "Take pen and ink!" ”

At this time, Zhao Kai also came back to his senses, and he was angry: "What a good old man, he dares to lie to us!" ”

After all, it is the prince, the king of Zhao and Song, and the wealthy businessmen are also willing to spend money to buy a fresh one to satisfy their vanity.

It is said that money is a man's waist pole, but now Zhao Gou is down, and in the face of his wife, he really can't be tough.

Picked up the brush and looked at it, Zhao Ji pursed his lips, then dipped it in ink, and the pen walked around the dragon and wrote a couplet.

You have five guans, he has ten guan, and before you know it, he has borrowed two or three thousand.

Han Zhen didn't know the little girl's thoughts, and asked, "But blame me for being too ruthless." ”

hurriedly straightened his face, pretending to be nervous and said: "Third brother is cautious, the wall has ears." ”

……

"This ...... It's not etiquette. ”

Zhao Kai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Does my father have a way?" ”

After going through the ordeal, calligraphy has taken it to the next level.

This bookstore is not small in scale and the decoration is very exquisite.

"Husband misunderstood."

That's it, the shopkeeper felt almost meaningful, and said apologetically: "The small shop is not as good as the palace, don't dislike it." ”

"Wait......"

"It's never too late for my father to go after dinner."

Zhao Kai, who witnessed the whole process, was full of incredulity.

After coming out of Zhao Gou's house, Zhao Ji's father and son followed the address on the list and went to the seventh son Zhao Xu's house.

……

Zhao Ji waved his hand: "That's it, if you go, you will only be laughed at by others." ”

"Grandpa!"

One by one, they dragged their families to sell miserably, and Zhao Gou really couldn't save face, so he had to donate generously.

"Color!"

"You treat your father like a three-year-old child? The emperor of more than 20 years has not been in vain. ”

The two phases are superimmeasurable.

Otherwise, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Moreover, Zhao Ji's calligraphy is recognized as good by Shilin, and the original thin gold body can be described as the founding of the sect, not losing to Mi Pei and Huang Tingjian.

But as the novelty passed, no one wanted to invite him.

Zhao Xu couldn't give up his face to work, so he could only play the autumn wind, and he would borrow a few times from Zhao Gou today, and a few times from Zhao Shu tomorrow.

He went to Zhao Gou to borrow money a while ago, but was rejected, so he was resentful.

Zhao Ji smiled slightly, dusted off his clothes, and walked towards a bookstore on the side of the street with steady steps.

Zhao Gou has made a lot of money as a helper, but he can't stand his brothers and sisters coming to fight the autumn breeze every once in a while.

Waiting for the streets?

Zhao Gou almost couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

When he was demoted to a commoner, he only had 50 yuan of settling-in allowance from his fifth sister.

Seeing that there was really no way, Xing Bingyi was cheeky and borrowed a thousand yuan from his mother's family, so he got through the difficulties.

"Ugh."

Zhao Xu is not as good as Zhao Gou, his wife and concubine have all been raided because of corruption and bending the law, and they can't take care of him, where can they help him.

As a result, he met Zhao Zhi's pit goods, and he also put his fifty guan into it.

can be a shopkeeper in the bookstore, and his literary skills will never be bad, even if he is a pig, he will be enlightened to stay with Wenmo books every day.

Zhao Ji said: "My pen fee, I'm afraid you can't afford it." ”

Can you still make money like this?

Xing Bingyi held the child and cooperated with Zhao Gou to act: "Doesn't my father stay to eat?" ”

The sun was setting in the west, and the father and son stepped on the afterglow of the setting sun, walking aimlessly on the street, with a bleak back.

"You walk slowly, and you come often when you have time."

In the past, Zhao Ji's works were only in the palace and never went to the people, so the shopkeeper would refuse unless he had a bad brain.

Now that he saw his father come back to find him, Zhao Xu only felt that his hard life was finally coming out.

Stretching out his hand and pointing at himself, Zhao Ji asked in an arrogant tone, "Do you recognize me?" ”

He is not like Zhao Ji, he didn't suffer much, after being caught by the Qi army a while ago, he has been imprisoned in the palace, although the food and clothing are not as good as before, but he is much better than ordinary people, three meals a day, three dishes and one soup.

Zhao Gou coaxed for a while, promising to collect debts in a few days, which made Xing Bingyi angry.

Zhao Gou persuaded: "Don't say it again, no matter what, it's our father." ”

Zhao Ji smiled bitterly.

Zhao Kai told Fang Cai's experience as it was.

Seeing this, Han Zhen smiled and said, "Duplicity." ”

He doesn't have much ability, he can't do anything, and he always likes to hold the prince's shelf.

Not long after, Zhao Ji carried 8,000 green coins, and in the shopkeeper's thousands of thanks, he left the bookstore satisfied.

"What a Lao Jiu, he is really a Zhongshan wolf without a king and a father, our brothers, he is the best, at the end of the day, let alone earn a few times!" Zhao Xu uncovered Zhao Gou's old bottom.

Zhao Fujin rushed over and shook his head.

The father and son first rented a carriage and happily went to Fanlou.

"Wait a minute!"

"Isn't it a matter of underestimating a father?"

Zhao Ji glanced at him with contempt, and his tone was confident.

The shopkeeper immediately put on a smiling face and waited cautiously: "What did you say, the Emperor, how can there be someone in this Tokyo city who doesn't recognize you, you are here, and the small shop is shining." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Gou pretended to be ashamed and said: "It's rare for my father and my third brother to come here, but I have no choice but to be shy in my pocket, I only have coarse tea and light rice to entertain, and I hope my father won't dislike it." ”

Looking at the thin gold body on the paper, the shopkeeper applauded.

Zhao Ji sighed and said faintly: "I never thought that Junhu would have such a miserable life in Beijing. ”

Zhao Ji waved his hand and walked out of the small courtyard.

However, Zhao Ji didn't feel guilty in his heart, he just regretted that the life of having fine clothes and food and power was gone forever.

My father can earn it, but it makes no sense that he can't earn it.

Zhao Xu sensed that something was wrong at this moment, and asked with a face full of disbelief: "Father...... Father, Your Majesty didn't reward you with the mansion, why do you still want to live in Lao Jiu's house. ”

Zhao Ji looked embarrassed and sneered: "My father doesn't have a mansion, and he doesn't have a food. ”

Emperor Zhao Song's ink treasure, this is a rare thing.

For a while, the three of them were silent and depressed.

Zhao Kai's artistic attainments are also very high, and the reason why Zhao Ji loves him so much is because Zhao Kai is like him everywhere.

Careful thinking was punctured, Zhao Fujin whispered: "Even if the husband doesn't give his father a mansion, he should arrange a place to live, otherwise he will probably sleep on the streets tonight." ”

Zhao Kai's face changed, and he glanced at the direction outside the courtyard with a weak heart, and he admitted that he was a little loud.

"What a year of suffering for the child!"

Just then, the maid came back with a small bag of corn and a bundle of wild vegetables.

"Father, you're back!"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Ji waved his hand, drank back from the oncoming guys, and strode to the counter.

"That's nature, voila!"

Hearing this, Liu Chang didn't dare to hide it, and said every move, word and deed of Zhao Ji out of the palace.

When he heard that his father took the money and did not help the seventh brother Zhao Xu, but went to Fanlou to enjoy himself, Zhao Fujin was completely speechless.
