In the end, Zhao Hanzhang did not go in and interrupt their conversation.
Matters on official documents can be resolved slowly, but opportunities for father and son to resolve conflicts do not often come up.
Zhao Hanzhang's words to persuade Zhao Hu today also destroyed a lot of brain cells, okay?
So the two siblings sat together on the steps in front of the house in a daze while the servants went to fetch Zhao Zheng hot water.
Zhao Hanzhang held up his chin and motioned for him to look at the room behind him, and asked: "Seventh Uncle has just decorated it for you, why don't you go in and take a look?"
Zhao Zheng shook his head, "I won't read it. I can't live there anyway."
He said: "I will have to go to Ruyin County with my father soon. When I come back, my father will not allow me to live in a house like this."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Although we come from a wealthy family, we cannot be the disciples of a wealthy family."
She said: "God has been kind to us, so we have to do something to repay this world. If we only focus on pleasure, we will not only waste a good start in this life, but also run out of blessings, and the future may not be easy."
Zhao Zheng was at the age where he liked to find faults and asked: "What if I try hard, but it still ends badly in the end?"
He said: "For example, Yan Heng, he worked so hard, but didn't he die in the end?"
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "Then do you think Yan Heng regrets his life in this world? Does he regret that he chose Gou Xi to make suggestions for him, or does he regret that he admonished Gou Xi in the end?"
Zhao Zheng thought seriously for a while and then said: "I think he has no regrets."
"Then if he doesn't study, doesn't choose Gou Xi, but lives in his hometown, just for food and clothing, and lives his life in confusion with the ups and downs of the troubled times, even if he can live longer than he does now, do you think he will be happy?
?”
Zhao Zheng said nothing.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I don't want to live that kind of life. I want painful clarity more than happy confusion. He may not care about his posthumous name, but the reality is that his name resounds throughout the Central Plains and will be recorded in history books."
, people in future generations will remember him, and people today will be inspired by his character. There are people who have benefited from what he has done. Those people have survived difficulties again and again under his protection. In this troubled world,
Survive."
"I think since he doesn't regret dying and admonishing Gou Xi, he naturally doesn't want to live his life in a muddle," Zhao Hanzhang said: "He is a person with great ambitions and a person worthy of our respect."
Zhao Zheng said casually: "If I don't live well in the future, I won't regret my choice today."
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "Good boy, you have to work hard and don't give yourself a chance to regret."
The heart that had been shaken by the exquisite clothes and utensils became firmer. Zhao Zheng took a breath and secretly decided that it would be better to see his grandfather less recently, otherwise he might not be able to control his heartbeat.
The servant brought a basin of hot water and a clean handkerchief.
Zhao Zheng put the handkerchief on the wooden basin and glanced at the pavilion. Seeing that they seemed to have ended their conversation, he picked it up and said, "Third Sister, I'm going."
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand: "Go, go. By the way, have you seen the official document next to my seat? Bring it to me when you exit later."
Zhao Zheng said "Oh" and hesitated, "Third sister, why don't you go with me."
"You are talking as a family, why should I join in the fun as an outsider? You can go on your own."
Zhao Zheng was a little scared, not only afraid of his grandfather crying, but also afraid of his father's training, so he wanted to pull Zhao Hanzhang, "Just now you persuaded my grandfather, we are also a family, let's go together."
Zhao Hanzhang refused, "Your grandfather just cried. He will definitely feel uncomfortable seeing me now. Go ahead and I'll wait for you here."
Zhao Zheng had no choice but to turn around and leave.
He presented the basin, and his father personally cleaned the veil and handed it to his grandfather. Zhao Hu cried again when she saw the veil handed to her.
He wiped his face with a handkerchief and cried while wiping it. The more he wiped his face, the more tears he shed.
Zhao Zheng was stunned.
Zhao Cheng:......
He silently took the handkerchief, washed it again and handed it to him. Then he turned to Zhao Zheng and asked, "Sanniang hasn't left yet?"
Zhao Hu immediately stopped crying and held back her tears. Then she quickly took care of herself and glanced around viciously with her red and swollen eyes.
Unfortunately, his eyes were so red that Zhao Hanzhang didn't see any evil in him. He only felt that he was a little pitiful, so after he glared at him, he wisely retracted his head and stopped peeking at them.
When Zhao Zheng stepped back with the basin, he also took Zhao Hanzhang's official documents with him. Zhao Cheng just glanced at it without saying a word. After he left, he turned to Zhao Hu and said, "Father, take all those things in Zheng'er's room.
"
Zhao Hu had just made peace with his son and did not want to argue with him anymore, so he nodded. In fact, in his opinion, everything was already on the table, so just use it. He would just give Zhao Zheng less extravagant things in the future.
But looking at his son's innocent face, he didn't say anything.
Zhao Cheng paused and then said: "I don't understand business matters, but father, now you can travel around the counties and buy land and shops in each county, not because of your own ability, but because of your ability.
Chapter provides support.”
He said: "That's why she wants her father to be kind to her. She is strong and Yuzhou is strong. Only then can the Zhao family be strong and protect the people below."
Zhao Hu hummed unconvinced, but still agreed.
It's not that he doesn't understand the truth, he's just unwilling to admit defeat, especially to Zhao Hanzhang.
For some reason, he always felt that he and her were not compatible, starting from the time when she carried the coffin back to her hometown.
Zhao Hu said: "Zitu, don't you think she has changed a lot? I remember she was not like this before. She was a gentle little girl every time I saw her. When did she become like this, like this..."
Zhao Hu couldn't even find an adjective.
Zhao Cheng didn't take it seriously, "How many times have you seen her before?"
Zhao Hu said: "Twice, although it was only twice, but each time she was a gentle and quiet little girl."
Zhao Cheng sneered and said, "Those are all illusions."
Unlike Zhao Hu, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Zhi had a very good relationship. After Zhao Zhi got married, they also studied together, so Zhao Cheng could often see her from the time Zhao Sanniang was born until Zhao Zhi died of a serious illness.
In his impression, she was lively, naughty, and very smart.
When she was two or three years old, she dared to smear her hands with ink, and then put her hands behind her back, waiting for her father to pick her up and slap her on Zhao Zhi's face. Even he suffered.
There are only a lot of things like naughty things. She is so active, but also very smart. She can memorize a poem if it is read to her twice. Even though she is not literate, she can memorize it with her head shaking.
So when Zhao Hanzhang became like this, Zhao Song was surprised, Zhao Hu was suspicious, even Zhao Ming was confused sometimes, but Zhao Cheng never doubted it.
She was just born a girl, that's why so many people doubted her.
If she were a boy, wouldn't it be natural for her to be naughty and smart when she was young and do this when she grows up?
Zhao Cheng never doubted that she was any worse than men. All the things in the past were just hidden under various considerations.
But now, she no longer needs to hide her abilities and thoughts, so she has become so powerful.
