"Master, I would not dare to lie to you even if I had a hundred guts. It was really the master who asked me to come and ask you to go back to the mansion!"
"It seems that they want to discuss the crowning ceremony."
After hearing what Lao Zhong said, Zhao Hao nodded slightly.
"Okay, go prepare the carriage, and call Brother Wu and Miss Su."
"yes!"
Lao Zhong agreed and turned away quickly.
Zhao Hao simply washed up, changed his clothes, and then went out and downstairs.
Although it was dark, there were still many people on the street, and the carriage returned to the mansion without any accidents.
In the main room, Zhao Wenxiang sat at the top, Qin Shuyun sat beside him, and Qin Ming and Qin Shuyun sat at the bottom respectively.
Zhao Hao and Su Si walked in and saw that everyone was there. Zhao Hao couldn't help but say happily: "Oh, they are all here!"
"Dad, I greet you!"
"Mother, I greet you!"
Qin Shuyun immediately said angrily: "You bastard, if your father hadn't called you, you wouldn't have come back, right?"
Zhao Hao laughed dryly and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm just going to come back and you'll hit me and tire you out."
"My child, this is really well-intentioned!"
Zhao Wenxiang said: "Alright, alright, you are about to get your hair done, can't you be more steady?"
Zhao Hao nodded quickly, walked to Qin Ming's seat and sat down quickly.
Zhao Wenxiang said, "Today is already the twentieth anniversary, and we should also prepare for the coronation."
"Years ago, your uncle said that after returning to the family, he would be back soon and in time for the coming-of-age ceremony."
"But it hasn't arrived yet, and no letter has come."
"I don't know what's going on."
"But no matter what, we can't delay the month. The date still has to be set within the month."
Qin Shuyun next to him said, "Master, we have to wait a while. I think we should postpone it a little bit. How about the 29th?"
Zhao Wenxiang nodded slightly: "That's what I meant. I think my third brother can come here in time."
"Now that the date has been set, the next step is preparation."
"Hao'er, don't run around outside recently. The coming-of-age ceremony is a big event, and it's complicated and tedious. We can't let your mother be busy all the time."
"You should help as much as possible."
"After the ceremony of coming of age, you will be an adult. You can no longer behave rashly like before."
Zhao Hao nodded quickly: "Dad, I understand. I will help Mom prepare everything!"
Qin Ming also said: "Uncle, Huairu and I are here and can help aunt and cousin."
Zhao Wenxiang smiled and nodded: "Yes, with Ming'er and Huairu here, your aunt will be much more relaxed."
"Okay, that's it for now."
After saying that, Zhao Wenxiang stood up and walked outside.
When he reached the door, he stopped, turned around and looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Hao'er, come to the study with Dad. Dad has something to tell you."
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and followed Zhao Wenxiang to the study.
study.
Zhao Wenxiang walked to the desk and sat down. Zhao Hao followed and quickly poured a cup of tea for his father.
"Dad, what do you want to tell me? You are so mysterious. You can't even tell me in the living room. You have to come to the study."
Zhao Wenxiang had a blank expression on his face. He picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Hao'er, did His Majesty summon you to the palace the day before yesterday?"
Zhao Hao asked, "Dad, even you know about this?"
Zhao Wenxiang snorted, "Your Majesty summoned me today and told me about this matter. Your Majesty said, do you promise to come up with another way to make money like drinking wine?"
"Is that true?"
Zhao Hao had nothing to hide, so he nodded and said, "Yes, the child agreed."
Zhao Wenxiang frowned immediately and asked, "Are you sure?"
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "Dad, if you talk about other things, I certainly won't agree, and I won't be sure of anything."
"But when it comes to making money, I'm very confident!"
Seeing him so relaxed, Zhao Wenxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained serious.
"Hao'er, you made this promise to His Majesty in person. If you can't do it, you are deceiving the emperor."
Zhao Hao said calmly: "Dad, of course I understand what you said. I am absolutely sure."
Although Zhao Wenxiang believed what Zhao Hao said, he still couldn't help asking, "Then tell Dad, what do you have in mind?"
"We just went through a great war, and now we are experiencing this once-in-a-century snowstorm."
"Now, we have to resettle the victims of the two states and guard against the east and south. We urgently need to prepare for war."
"Neither of these two things can be delayed. We are still unable to do it just by relying on the income from taxes and dry wine."
"Don't think that everything is calm now. Once the pressure on the border increases, our Dagan will be unable to organize an army to deal with it and deter it, and a war may break out again."
"If a war really breaks out and the two northern states are still not stable, then our country will be caught in a dilemma both internally and externally."
"Hao'er, if you really have a way, then bring it out immediately. This is of vital importance to the entire country."
Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said, "Dad, don't worry, I have already made up my mind."
"In two days, when His Majesty summons me, I will come up with a solution."
Seeing that Zhao Hao didn't want to talk, Zhao Wenxiang stopped asking and just nodded slightly.
"It's good that you know how serious it is. Dad won't ask you any more questions."
"Okay, go back and rest!"
Zhao Hao nodded slightly, then turned and left his father's study.
When I returned to my own yard and looked at the piles of wood, I couldn't help but slap my head.
The bed hasn't been made yet...
"It's definitely too late to start now. Should we go back to the first floor and sleep?"
"Not really. It's better not to cause any trouble at this time."
Although Wu Song is by his side, there will still be risks if that group really attacks again.
"Where do I sleep then?"
Zhao Hao was quite speechless.
There must be many rooms in the mansion, but none of them have been maintained and there is no means of heating.
There was no way to sleep at all.
After thinking about it, Zhao Hao's eyes suddenly lit up.
“There’s room!”
Turning and walking out of the courtyard, Zhao Hao headed west across the courtyard under the not-too-bright moonlight.
Zhao Hao tiptoed into the yard and found that the lights in the house were still on, so he quietly walked to the door.
“Snap! Snap! Snap!”
He reached out and knocked on the door, and immediately Su Si's voice came from inside.
"Is it Xiaohong?"
Zhao Hao didn't say anything in response. Xiaohong's house was right next to him, and he would easily be discovered if he made any noise.
I didn't dare knock on the door loudly.
Seeing that no one answered, Su Si in the room couldn't help but feel puzzled. She slowly walked to the door and opened it.
As soon as the door opened, Zhao Hao rushed in immediately and hugged her soft body in his arms.
"Ah, sir..."
Zhao Hao chuckled and whispered in Su Si's ear: "I didn't expect Miss Su's eyesight to be so good."
