Zhao Hanzhang did not answer why. This was to maintain the good image in Zhao Ming's mind.
What else could she do, of course it was for money.
Little did she know that in Zhao Ming's heart, her image had never been better.
He glanced at her lightly and did not continue the topic.
It's rare for a family to get together to have a meal together, so they still sit at separate tables.
In front of Zhao Song and Zhao Hu, Mrs. Wang seemed very low-key. Her eyes only brightened when she saw her daughter. When she saw Zhao Ming again, she stood up and bowed slightly to salute.
Zhao Ming nodded with her and sat down in his seat.
Zhao Hanzhang sat down below Wang.
This is a family banquet. She is a junior, so she has to sit here. Fu Tinghan, because he is Zhao's "son-in-law", is arranged to sit in the upper seat.
He turned to look at her and smiled.
Zhao Hanzhang raised his chin and asked him to sit down. Fu Tinghan then walked over to sit opposite Zhao Ming.
Zhao Song and Zhao Hu sat on the main seats.
Zhao Hu turned a blind eye to Zhao Hanzhang, ignored Zhao Cheng, and waved directly to Zhao Zheng, "Zheng'er, come to my grandfather."
Zhao Zheng glanced at his father, cupped his hands and said, "Grandpa, the elders sit in the upper position. My grandchildren dare not cross. I just serve my father."
Zhao Hu was a little angry: "You just serve him and not me?"
Zhao Zheng looked at Zhao Cheng with a confused expression.
Zhao Cheng glanced at Zhao Hanzhang, pursed his lips, and said to Zhao Zheng: "Go ahead."
Zhao Zheng was surprised because he didn't expect his father to let him go.
Zhao Zheng knew that because his grandfather was unconventional, his father was afraid that he would develop a bad temper by following his grandfather, so he never liked him being close to his grandfather.
This is one of the reasons why Zhao Cheng has always been criticized.
It is a great sin to prevent a father from having fun with his grandson and enjoying family happiness.
In the eyes of the world today, this is a greater sin than having no descendants.
Zhao Zheng paused for a while, and after confirming that his father was not joking, he walked up and knelt beside his grandfather.
Zhao Hu was also shocked. He would make a habit of mentioning something to his son, but unexpectedly he actually asked Zheng'er to come up.
Zhao Hu carefully looked at Zhao Cheng's face and saw that there was not much expression on his face, which made her feel uneasy.
Zhao Song ignored him and said directly: "You have been busy all day. You must be hungry by now. Let the kitchen serve the food."
What Zhao Hanzhang said at noon today has already been spread out. Zhao Song is a person who supports Zhao Hanzhang's career very much, so for dinner today, the kitchen served multigrain steamed buns mixed with wheat bran.
The others responded, but Zhao Hu frowned. He also spoke bluntly and asked directly: "Fifth brother, your family has no money? How can you eat such steamed buns?"
Zhao Song said: "Sanniang advocates frugality."
"She is frugal with her, why should we suffer along with her?" Zhao Hu said: "I don't want to eat this, I want to eat white flour steamed buns."
Zhao Song frowned.
Zhao Hu said: "My teeth are bad and I can't swallow this rough steamed bun."
Zhao Hanzhang kindly warned him: "Seventh Uncle, it's your throat that's not bad, not your teeth."
Zhao Hu was still angry with her. He raised his eyelids to look at her, snorted and turned away.
Zhao Song stared at him and then nodded to the servant.
The servant hurried to the kitchen and asked: "Can you make white flour steamed buns? The seventh master wants to use them."
"Yes, yes," the chef immediately opened the steamer, picked up a basket of white flour steamed buns from inside, and asked, "Does Master Qi only want it? Others don't want it?"
"No one else wants it."
The servant brought the steamed buns to the dining room to replace Zhao Hu's coarse-grain steamed buns. Zhao Song then took his chopsticks and started eating.
After dinner, Zhao Song left Zhao Hanzhang to talk to Zhao Cheng, and Zhao Hu also consciously stayed.
Zhao Song mediates for them. He has been doing mediation work since he was young and is already familiar with it.
He first asked Zhao Hanzhang, "Sanniang, what's wrong with you and Lao Qi? He's not good, but he's also an elder. You give him some mercy..."
Before Zhao Song could finish what he said, Zhao Hu had already jumped to his feet, "Fifth brother, why is it that I'm not doing well? You didn't even ask clearly what happened."
Zhao Song said angrily: "Then what did you say happened?"
"She deceived me into going to Luoyang, then sent Zitu back to Chen County. Wasn't this intentional to separate our father and son?"
"You didn't go to Luoyang for Zitu," Zhao Song said, "You didn't go to Luoyang for new money?"
"Speaking of new money," Zhao Song frowned and looked at Zhao Hanzhang with disapproval, "Sanniang, you shouldn't mint new money. If you are short of money, you can write to the imperial court and ask for the right to mint it. According to the imperial court,
The coins were minted, but you actually minted the coins privately and didn't tell me, but also stamped the word "Zhao" on the coins."
Before Zhao Hanzhang could speak, Zhao Hu had already said quickly: "Why is the character Zhao bad? If the new money didn't have the character 'Zhao' on it, I wouldn't have changed it."
He said: "Her new money is lighter than her old money. Although she said that the new money and old money are the same in Luoyang and Yuzhou areas, this money is circulating in the market and the market is so big. How can she control the world?"
Control everyone? If it hadn't been for the word 'Zhao' on it, I wouldn't have changed it even if it was one to one or two, at least it would have to be one to one or five."
Zhao Hanzhang:......
Zhao Song:......
Zhao Song was angry, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Hu said: "Isn't it easy? As soon as the money is taken out, people outside will know that the money was made by my family, Zhao. Who am I? I am Zhao Hu! My surname is Zhao! Just with this money, people outside will know
If you can see the power of my Zhao family, you will always be wary of one or two, and I will be able to move forward unimpeded."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but clapped his hands and gave him a card, "Seventh Uncle is absolutely right."
"Stop flattering," Zhao Hu turned to Zhao Song and said, "Fifth brother, you have to talk to her properly. Clan members should be more honest with each other, but she specializes in deceiving and abducting people."
Zhao Hu almost shed tears when she said this, "I was originally angry and didn't want to exchange money with her anymore, but then I discovered that in the contract we signed before, if I didn't exchange enough money, I would have to pay her liquidated damages. It was simply unreasonable.
.”
Zhao Hanzhang cried out: "Seventh Uncle, I have reminded you of the liquidated damages. Originally, the liquidated damages I wanted were only a small amount, but you increased the liquidated damages because you said that if I could not mint enough new money within the stipulated time,
In exchange for you, I will compensate you."
"These rights are mutual. If I breach the contract, I will pay you liquidated damages. If you breach the contract, you will naturally have to compensate me, right?"
Zhao Hu said to Zhao Song: "So you don't have to mediate for us. The contract has been settled. I will give her whatever is due. But if you ask me to give her a good look, don't even think about it!"
Zhao Song was choked to death, so he turned to look at Zhao Cheng, "What about you, father and son? What's wrong?"
Zhao Hu looked confused, "Aren't we, father and son, always like this?"
No matter what, everyone who came back this time was obviously different.
Zhao Song went to see his son, wanting to get his support, but he saw Zhao Ming sitting down at some point and drinking wine leisurely. When his father looked over, he said leisurely: "Ah
Father, just leave these trivial matters to Sanniang, why do you need to worry about it?"
