Chapter 43 Why should I pay back the money I borrowed based on my ability?

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The next day, Zhao Shouzheng rarely had to go to jail, but he still got up early.

    He is going to attend a cultural gathering at Dabaoen Temple.

    While trying on the brand new sweatshirt he bought yesterday, he sighed: "It's rare to have a day off, but you still can't sleep in? My father already has dark circles under his eyes."

    "Then you can't become a protective animal." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes. Didn't he accompany Mr. Zhao who got up early to pack things when he went out?

    It¡¯s not easy for students, but it¡¯s easy for their parents?

    But he still supported Zhao Shouzheng to go.  After all, there are great benefits to participating in cultural conferences, not only to learn from each other, but more importantly, to gain reputation.  The higher the standard of the cultural gathering, the easier it is to increase its reputation.  According to past experience, candidates with high reputations will almost never be brushed off by the grandmaster during the scientific examination, unless they arenotorious.

    "After all, the master is the one who brought up learning in a province. If the province produces talents, he will be honored."  On the other hand, keeping famous talents out of the Gongyuan would give the master the reputation of being narrow-minded and jealous of talents, so reputation was very important in the scientific examination.

    ¡° Even if Qiu Wei writes anonymously in the future, if your writing style is already familiar to others, you can still take advantage of it.  Of course, for a dull scholar like Mr. Zhao, there is no hope for this.

    He slapped the agreed one hundred taels of silver in front of Zhao Shouzheng.

    "Here, take the flowers."

    "Awesome! It's really 'a big deal of money and a lot of courage'" Zhao Shouzheng admired, but when he remembered the second half of the poem, he couldn't help but feel suffocated, and shook his head and said: "Son, the two thousand five hundred taels yesterday are still going to be continued.  If you repay the money with interest, you can't spend it arbitrarily. I only need twenty taels for my father."

    Zhao Hao couldn't help but burst into tears, and secretly said with great relief, Mr. Zhao is really becoming more and more sensible.

    But the more Zhao Shouzheng behaved like this, the more heroic he became. He pushed the one hundred taels of silver back in front of Zhao Shouzheng and said: "Why should I pay back the money I borrowed based on my ability? My father just spends it. He can get a penny from me. I  Write the character Hao upside down!" He was basically a Ming Dynasty person, so naturally he didn't dare to joke about his ancestor's surname.

    "Then you have to change your name to Zhao Ming. It's too ugly. It sounds the same as 'hood turtle'" Zhao Shouzheng frowned.

    "Ah, does this word really exist?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes and suddenly felt that he was ignorant and incompetent.

    Zhao Shouzheng dipped his hands in tea and wrote the word "•Q" for "Shang Tian Xia Sun" on the table, and explained with a serious face: "This character is pronounced 'Gui', which is also the surname. In the late Han Dynasty, there was a city with a bright sky, and in the late Han Dynasty,  He was executed. He had four sons. One guarded the tomb and his surname was Jiong. One son took refuge in Xuzhou and his surname was Fang. One son lived in Youzhou and his surname was Gui. One son lived in Huayang and his surname was Zheng"

    Zhao Hao covered his ears in pain, suddenly realizing that all nerds in the world can be killed

    "Brother, brother, are you up?"

    Fortunately, at this time, Fan Datong's voice rang outside the hospital and saved his life.  Zhao Hao quickly stuffed the eighty taels of silver under his father's quilt and ran away.

    "Alas, this kid, it's so easy to teach him some knowledge, but I'm impatient" Zhao Shouzheng shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to follow him to the courtyard.

    ??~~

    The yard.

    "Have you had breakfast?" Zhao Shouzheng asked Fan Datong with a smile while wearing brand new foundation boots.

    "I guess I ate it." Zhao Hao found the tin umbrella he just bought the day before yesterday from the east wing that was used as a warehouse.

    "My good nephew guessed wrong." Fan Datong said with a smile, "But don't panic, I won't take advantage of your family today."

    "Oh? Which way is the sun coming out?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but marvel, and subconsciously opened the umbrella. The shiny silver tinfoil surface could blind a dog.

    "Hey, my dear nephew, don't you know? The vegetarian food at Dabaoen Temple is one of the best in Jinling." Fan Datong swallowed and said, "I have been waiting for this meal three days in advance."

    "Are you going to a cultural gathering or just for lunch?" Zhao Hao said as he put away the umbrella, handed it to Zhao Shouzheng and said, "Father, take a look, is it suitable for use?"

    However, Zhao Shouzheng shook his head in embarrassment and said, "I can't hold this kind of umbrella myself."

    "I know." Zhao Hao smiled and said: "I will find a book boy for my father as soon as possible. Let's find someone to make a cameo today."

    Before he finished speaking, Gao Wu came out of the west wing hunched over, with a bookcase on his back and two hairpins on his head, just like King Kong Barbie.

    "Pfft" Looking at Gao Wu's majestic appearance, Zhao Hao couldn't help but laugh.

    Fan Datong burst into laughter without any image, making Gao Wu blush and have a thick neck.

    "Gao Wu, you'd better not go, it won't be good if you scare the mage." Zhao Shouzheng said with slight disgust.

    Gao Wu was quite injured.He lowered his head and saw Zhao Hao waving his hands, then turned around and went into the house.

    "Forget it, let me hold the umbrella for my brother today." Fan Datong took the tin umbrella from Zhao Hao's hand, put it under his left armpit, waved his right hand and said, "There is no need to leave food for us tonight."

    "" Zhao Hao was speechless.

    ??~~

    Dabaoen Temple is located outside Jubaomen in the south of the city, nearly thirty miles away from Caijia Lane.  Fortunately, Nanjing has developed waterways. We hired a awning boat at the small pier under the bridge, chatted in the river breeze, and arrived before we knew it.

    As soon as the black-topped boat turned around the Phoenix Tower, the towering tower standing next to the Yuhua Tower, the largest tower in the world throughout the ages, came into view.

    Although they have seen this tower countless times, Zhao Shouzheng and Fan Datong were still deeply shocked by the sight of the sun shining like a pagoda in the Kingdom of God.

    The nine-story, eight-sided, 267-foot-high glazed pagoda was built by Emperor Chengzu to commemorate his birth mother, his concubine.  It's made of silver.

    "The victory of the pagoda is more than a hundred feet high, reaching straight into the sky. It is made of five-color glazed glass and is combined into a crown. It is made of gold orbs and shines on the clouds and the sun" Zhao Shouzheng was so intoxicated that he shook his head and chanted:

    "Eight of the hundred and twenty lanterns are lit at night, like fire dragons soaring for dozens of miles, and winds and bells hearing each other for miles. The mountains, rivers, capitals, and palaces are all visible"

    However, he heard a few cooing sounds, and Fan Datong's stomach made a sound. He couldn't help but changed his face and urged the boatman: "Quickly row, I have something urgent."

    The boatman thought the others were in urgent need and hurriedly shook them hard and sent them to the dock.

    As soon as he stepped ashore, Zhao Shouzheng pointed to the trees in the distance and said, "Go, I'll wait for you."

    "Brother is wrong. I was so hungry that I didn't want to pay tribute." Fan Datong smiled, looked up at the sun, and whispered: "The monk Zhike is not at the gate at the moment. Let's slip in and sit down."  Eat as soon as you get down and leave as soon as you finish, no donations are required.¡±

    "The word "slip" is very expressive. Can you still get away with it like this?" Zhao Shouzheng praised. Now that he knows that his livelihood is difficult, he can naturally save as much as possible.  That¡¯s twenty taels of silver!

    "With so many people paying for it, who can tell that we are eating for free and making up the money?" Fan Datong said and took the lead to the gate of Dabaoen Temple.

    Sure enough, we saw that the temple door was wide open. Except for a few young monks playing, there were no dedicated monks blocking the way.

    Fan Datong blinked proudly and whispered: "If anyone blocks the way after entering, I will deal with it."

    "Oh." Zhao Shouzheng responded and lowered his head with a guilty conscience. This was the first time he had done such a thing.
