   Chapter 94 Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety

  Tan Zhong: ... He really wanted to let go and keep up, but it was a big deal, he had to ask Zhao Zhongyu first.

   Zhao Hao was disappointed when he saw this, he smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next place."

Soon, the good news spread in the fields. The farmers in the fields were as happy as the Chinese New Year. When they saw Zhao Song and Zhao Hanzhang from a distance, they knelt down and kowtowed to thank them, while the farmers who were also members of the Zhao clan were excited. He waved to them, and when they looked over, he raised his hand and gave them a deep bow.

Most of Zhao Song received it on the ox cart, and Zhao Hanzhang accepted it, but when he met some clansmen, he would ask Zhao Hanzhang to return the ceremony solemnly, "The seniority is higher than you, even if the family is poor, you can't accept the ceremony, the oldest and the youngest. Orderly, not chaotic."

   Zhao Hanzhang responded one by one.

   They have a lot of land, and they only walked a few pieces of land near Wubao for most of the day.

   The fields of the two families are similar, and the situation is similar. When they went to the fields to see the harvest, the atmosphere on both sides was different.

   The tenants and clansmen on one side greeted Zhao Hanzhang happily, while on the other side they looked at them dully, full of envy.

  The pressure in the center of Tan was even greater. When he came, the master only said that he would take back the property. At that time, Zhuang Tou and the manager were chosen to take care of it. He expected that the fifth master would not object, but he did not expect things to go so badly.

  Tan Zhong's intuition is not right. Although Xiping has always been the agent of the fifth master, he also listens to the patriarch. With his temperament, he should not oppose the patriarch.

  Tan Zhong couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hanzhang who was riding in front of him.

When he got home, the smile on Zhao Song's face fell. He stopped and looked back. Seeing his son walking slowly, he snorted: "See? If you hand over the industry to these aides, what? The Lord can’t do it, and now the road can still communicate, but if there are wars and accidents in the future, and the connection is cut off, will the clan do nothing and wait for the order of the patriarch?”

   Zhao Hao said with a sullen face: "The heart is lost, what kind of stinky chess he is playing?"

   Zhao Ming was not thinking of this. He worriedly said: "Father, if Ji Yuan is here today, do you think this problem is still a problem?"

"The patriarch will send Tan Zhong here, it must be because Tan Zhong is a very useful staff member by his side, but he is resourceful but not decisive enough. The patriarch keeps him by his side, and the situation is worrying," Zhao Ming frowned, "and Sanniang can The patriarch snatched Ji Yuan from her hands, which shows her ingenuity and decision. What you should be worried about now is the dispute between the first and second houses, and mediate their conflicts, rather than stand on Sanniang's side, which will intensify the conflicts between the two houses. There is also suspicion of provoking the relationship between the patriarch and the clan."

   Zhao Hao widened his eyes in shock, pointed at him with a trembling finger, and said, "You, you said that I provoke discord?"

   "Father, maybe you didn't mean it because you couldn't think of it, but that's what you're doing."

   Zhao Hao was very angry, looking for sticks everywhere, "You, you still call me stupid."

Zhao Ming saw that his father had snatched the bullwhip from the servant's hand, he turned around and ran first, and after running a dozen paces, he turned back and shouted, "Father, it's good for your ears, my son is for the sake of the clan, just think about it calmly. understood."

   "For the sake of filial piety, your son should avoid you first, otherwise it will be bad for your health if you are angry; but if you hurt your son, you are also sad, and it is not good for your health..."

   Zhao Hao chased after him a few steps, and when he saw that he had disappeared, he was so angry that he turned around in circles. The housekeeper hurriedly appeased him and helped him back to the lobby.

   Zhao Song angrily said, "Am I trying to sow discord? Is it okay to follow Zhao Zhongyu? He is only a few years old, and he has been in charge of the clan for a few years, yet he dares to point out his father."

   "Yes, it's all Lang Jun's fault, Master Lang, don't be angry, it's not worth your while to be angry."

   Zhao Ming ran out, not knowing where to go for a while, he thought about it and said, "Go to the main house."

  Changsui was very puzzled, "Langjun, you said bad things about Sanniang just now, and now you are going to the main house again, aren't you afraid of arguing?"

   "I said bad things in my own house. No matter how powerful she is, I know it by now." Zhao Ming said: "Go and see her."

   Chang Sui was puzzled, "Lang Jun doesn't seem to like Sanniang very much."

"Wrong, I didn't dislike her," Zhao Ming sighed: "She's too smart, I feel uneasy, she did a great job of rent-free in the fields today, and the timing was too accurate. The clansmen, tenants, and long-term workers in the fort will be heartbroken, and the skill of buying people’s hearts is comparable to that of an uncle.”

   Zhao Ming was very worried, "My father has been conscientious for 20 years, and I am afraid that he won't have as many people as her."

  Zhang Sui didn't believe it, "Sanniang is not familiar with the clan, how can she compare to the master?"

   "After a long time, the prestige of her actions today will naturally fade, but what if she pursues her with victory?" Zhao Ming decided to meet Zhao Hanzhang. Even if he doesn't do anything, it's good to chat and drink tea.

   Just when Zhao Ming went to find Zhao Hanzhang, the matter in the field had already spread to the ears of the major households in Wubao.

   They are all clansmen who followed Zhao Changyu to borrow 20% of the rented children on credit last year. When they heard the commotion outside, many people followed suit.

   The people who were still hesitant at first saw it, so they could only keep up.

   Zhao Hu has a lot of fields, and the number of tenants ranks among the top three in the clan. He cursed and waived the 20% of the rent, and then asked, "Where's Sanniang?"

   "In the main house."

"Let her come to see me, no, I'll go find her," Zhao Hu got up, "otherwise she would definitely find an excuse not to come to see me, even if such a big thing as rent-free is not discussed with the clan, she decides on her own. It's too much."

   So Zhao Ming and Zhao Hu met at the entrance of the main house.

   Zhao Hanzhang heard that the elders were visiting, and came out to greet them with a smile. He saw the two of them greeted them enthusiastically, "Seven uncles, cousins, are you coming to play with me, please come in."

   Zhao Hu doesn't like Zhao Ming. Compared with Zhao Song, who is gentle and tolerant, he is more afraid of this more serious nephew. He always feels that his eyes are too clear and can read people's hearts.

   Zhao Ming also doesn't like Zhao Hu, the clan uncle. He feels that he is disrespectful to the old, unkind to the old, and uneasy for the old. If there is something wrong, he will jump on his bottom line and give him a headache.

  So people who didn't like each other met at the gate of the main house, and they both wanted to turn around and leave.

   But Zhao Hanzhang had already gone out to invite them, so the two of them could only lift their feet and enter the door.

  Tan Zhong brought a lot of people here. He made people stare at the movement of the main house. After hearing about this, he sighed faintly, knowing that the purpose of his trip might not be achieved.

   He could only write to Zhao Zhongyu to report and ask for his opinion.

   But Zhao Hanzhang didn't mention Zhao Zhongyu or the fields. She took Zhao Hu and asked him curiously what lucrative workshops and shops he had.

   "This field is very important, but when it comes to money, the grain is still small. I think it is still a luxury to make money. I don't know what makes the most money in Runan."

   Zhao Hu loved to enjoy all his life, and he was unrestrained. Hearing this, he felt that he had found a fellow, and clapped his hands: "I see the same thing as the hero Sanniang."

See you tonight
