The original couplets have been removed and replaced with new ones, which read—
"The old general with long arms is still vigorous, his spirit can swallow up 100,000 imperial guards."
The most important thing is not the magnificent poem itself, but the inscription at the end: "A poem presented by Jin Yong to General Jianzhong."
If Jin Yong had happened to be in Changsui, Zhao Cheng would have asked him to personally inscribe a poem that had already been published. Since he wasn't there, sending a completely new poem to Pu Jian would actually carry more weight. In the future, when this poem is passed down, mentioning it will remind people of General Jianzhong.
"What a wonderful poem! It's truly a wonderful poem!"
"Could it be that Jin Yong, the great master of martial arts, has come to Changsui?"
"General Jianzhong's mansion is much more impressive now!"
Park Gon ignored the gossip of the neighbors; what he cared about most was the poem itself.
"The old general with ape-like arms is still vigorous, his spirit can swallow ten thousand imperial guards!"
The first sentence describes his state of mind, the second sentence describes his aspirations, this...
That's him!
"Great!" Park Gon couldn't help but reach out and stroke the words on the couplet. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He said, "It seems that everyone will have to call me General Ape Arm from now on, hahaha!"
"Acheng, I won't refuse this gift. Your uncle is extremely grateful!"
Seeing that Park Geon readily accepted without causing any trouble, Zhao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The three gifts have been delivered.
Instead of giving money directly, they gave food, comfort, and face.
Park Gun asked, "Ah Cheng, how did you manage to get Jin Yong to write you a poem?"
Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "Uncle Park, you are quite lucky. Master Jin happened to be in Changsui yesterday, and I met him by chance. I asked him to give you a poem."
"Is that what I'm asking? Even if I were to bump into Jin Yong, he wouldn't give me a poem!"
"Uncle Park, you may not know this, but I have a good relationship with literary figures like Jin Yong. This is no secret in Yanchuan."
“Even the best relationships cost money, right?” Park Geon touched the couplet again and said, “But this poem is really well written…”
“Uncle Park, let me be frank with you. I have a business in Yanchuan, a very profitable one, far more profitable than you can imagine. So don’t worry about money. I never spend my father’s money.”
Zhao Cheng put his hand on Park Wudi's shoulder and said, "I have already made an agreement with Wudi. If the business can be expanded to Changsui, Wudi will be in charge of managing it."
Park Gon's eyes lit up, happier than ever before, and he said, "Ah Cheng, if you can find a suitable job for Invincible, that would be the most precious gift!"
Park Moo-di pursed his lips and muttered, "Am I really that much of a worry for you?"
“Dad’s right!” Park Yoo-hee covered her mouth and chuckled, then bent down and patted Dou Dou’s back, saying, “Go on.”
DouDou stretched out her arms and ran to Zhao Cheng.
"Uncle Acheng..."
"What's wrong, Dou Dou?" Zhao Cheng squatted down and touched Dou Dou's head.
"Uncle Acheng, will you be DouDou's godfather?"
"Huh??" Zhao Cheng looked bewildered and stared at Park Gon in surprise.
Park Gon was clearly taken aback for a moment, but he immediately turned his face away and suppressed a laugh along with his wife.
Without a doubt, DouDou is so young, how could she possibly have the idea of voluntarily recognizing someone as her godfather?
This idea must have come from my daughter.
Hmm... Although it's abrupt, it's still a wonderful thing!
Zhao Cheng quickly stood up and said, "This...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Park Gon immediately said, "What's inappropriate about it! No one is more suitable than you for our two families' friendship! What, you're shamelessly offering to help our family? Dou Dou needs a father, so help him out!"
"Holy crap..."
Zhao Cheng was truly impressed by Park Gun. When he was serious, he was more serious than anyone else; when he was shameless, he was truly shameless!
DouDou hugged Zhao Cheng's leg, pressed her face against it, and said, "Don't you like DouDou?"
"like!!"
Zhao Cheng scooped Dou Dou up in his arms, then lifted him up so he could ride on his shoulders, saying, "From now on, you're my godson!"
"Godfather, godfather, godfather!!" DouDou kept calling out happily.
Zhao Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself; he wasn't married yet and was still a virgin...
He's already a dad!
Park Moo-di quietly slipped over to Park Yoo-hee and whispered, "Second sister, you've got some tricks up your sleeve!"
"What?"
"I think you don't want DouDou to recognize Acheng as her godfather, but rather you want Acheng to be my brother-in-law!"
"Nonsense! You're asking for it!" Park Yoo-hee blushed instantly and raised her hand at Park In-di.
"Are you angry because you're embarrassed?" Park Moo-di turned and ran away.
DouDou giggled and said, "Mommy hits Uncle, hits Uncle!"
Everyone burst into laughter as they watched the siblings chasing each other in front of the mansion gate.
After helping Pu Jian, Zhao Cheng did not remain idle. He went on to help Bi Fansheng, Song Cheng, and several generals who had fallen on hard times due to their efforts to provide relief to the widows of martyrs.
This made Park Gun feel a little better, since he wasn't being treated specially.
The night before the state banquet, Bi Fansheng, as their elder brother, insisted on organizing a dinner to treat Zhao Cheng to drinks, and invited all those who had received help from Zhao Cheng.
Although these people were unwilling to be helped by Zhao Cheng, some of them were actually going through a very difficult time. As men, they could bear to suffer a little themselves, but they had wives and elderly relatives at home.
Zhao Cheng's timely help solved their big problem, and they, who already doted on him, were now even more grateful to him.
So, in less than an hour, Zhao Cheng was completely drunk and had to be carried back by Zhao Wu.
Although the General's Mansion now has servants, Zhao Cheng instructed Zhao Wu not to use their servants and to have Xia Qiqiu do everything.
Xia Qi helped Zhao Cheng undress, and Qiu Shu fed Zhao Cheng a hangover soup. Seeing that he was gradually falling asleep on the bed, the two of them closed the door and left.
If they were at the Prime Minister's residence, the two girls would definitely stay by Zhao Cheng's side the whole time he drank so much. But Zhao Cheng had instructed them that they had to go back to their own rooms to sleep at the General's residence, otherwise it would be a bad influence.
The night was quiet and all was still.
Light footsteps sounded outside the door.
The door opened gently, and Park Yoo-hee walked in carrying a plate and holding a candle.
Park Yoo-hee placed the candle and plate on the bedside table, then took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped the fine sweat from Zhao Cheng's face.
Zhao Cheng didn't open her eyes, but instinctively grabbed Park Yoo-hee's wrist and said, "It's hot, so hot, I need to take a bath..."
"Ah..." Park Yoo-hee exclaimed softly.
