In the main hall of the back garden of the Princess's Mansion.
This time, Zhao Hao was really moved by the princess.
Whether she loved him because of his love for her or because she really liked him, Zhao Hao had never heard anyone say this to him in his two lifetimes -
"Isn't my mother here to support you? Just go ahead and do whatever you want. As long as you don't expose anything, I'll cover it up for you!"
Well, in Mr. Zhao's scoring system, this sentence can get 100 points! Better than 10,000 "I love you", and even better than "spend it as you please"...
~~
The eldest princess made her attitude clear first, and then asked him what he planned to do.
Zhao Hao then laid out his plan in full, and gave a prediction after finishing:
"If everything goes well, tens of thousands of refugees will have jobs by the end of the first month of the year. Even if the situation gets worse, at least 20,000 to 30,000 people will be employed."
After listening to this, the princess thought for a moment, then looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Could it be that the last time you went to Miaofeng Mountain was for this matter?"
"I just went there to take a look and gain some knowledge." Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "I thought of this method during the research process. After I came back, I investigated the coal consumption in Beijing and concluded that this method should be feasible."
As he said this, he smiled shyly and said, "Besides, we are not doing this for money..."
"Yes, it's not for making money." The princess's doubts were mostly gone, and she smiled approvingly:
"Since my son has studied it so thoroughly, I have nothing to worry about. But such a big business cannot be borne by you alone. How about this, I will give you half of the capital, and you can share some of the profits with me. If there are losses, it will be considered that we have done a good deed."
"Well, I'll listen to you." Zhao Hao had originally planned to split the profits with the princess. From his debut till now, whether he was running a restaurant or dealing in raw silk, he had never eaten alone.
What's more, this is the thigh that I want to hold tightly...
"By the way, let Cheng'en be your apprentice." The princess thought for a moment and sighed, "This child is not much younger than you, but he just does fooling around all day. Sooner or later, he will have to take over the business left by his father..."
"If he follows others, I'm afraid he will learn bad things. I feel relieved if he follows you."
After all, Zhao Hao was the teacher of the four candidates. In the eyes of the princess, his ability in teaching his apprentices must be first-rate...
~~
So Li Chengen was dragged out of bed and walked to the main hall with sleepy eyes.
"Oh, you're here so early? Why isn't the senior here with you?" Li Chengen yawned and nodded to Zhao Hao.
"You have no respect for your elders. Call me brother!" the eldest princess frowned and shouted.
"Brother..." Li Chengen shrank his neck and dared not disobey.
"Stand up straight, don't be like a crooked tree." The eldest princess scolded again. The more sensible and capable Zhao Hao was, the more she disliked her son...
Li Chengen stood up straight and thought, what happened to my mother? She was like a bomb after coming back from the palace.
But he had no choice but to obey.
"I have something to tell you. Your mother and your brother have decided to do something for the refugees." The princess said calmly, "Starting tomorrow, you will be your brother's apprentice."
"Ah, mother, tomorrow is only the second day of the Chinese New Year." Li Chengen was shocked when he heard this and said, "I have arranged everything from the second day to the twentieth day of the Chinese New Year."
"What business can you have? Isn't it just eating, drinking and fooling around?" The eldest princess waved her hand and said without allowing any discussion: "Reject all of them."
Then she said to Zhao Hao sternly, "Son, don't worry about his identity. He is your stinky little brother. If he dares to disobey me, beat him up!"
After a pause, the princess glared at Li Chengen who was still unwilling to give in and said, "This kid deserves a beating!"
"Mom, was I picked up?" The young master's heart was broken.
"How could that be? Your sister is your biological daughter." The eldest princess smiled slightly, and the cold light in her eyes made the young lord dare not say anything more.
"You are a gift..." Zhao Hao complained silently.
~~
At this time, Li Mingyue also heard the news that Zhao Hao was coming, and hurriedly washed and dressed up. Then she held the red hairpin on her head, asked the palace maid to help hold up her skirt, and trotted over quickly.
Only when she was about to enter the door did she slow down her pace, regulate her breathing, tidy up her hair, and reveal a gentle smile.
Ah Cai, the personal maid, supported the delicate county lady and slowly stepped over the threshold, thinking to herself, you always crossed it in one leap before...
Watching Princess Lanling bow gracefully to her parents and two brothers, and then ask Zhao Hao for a red envelope in a coquettish manner.
Ah Cai was very happy for a while because she finally had a name. Then she thought with a tingling scalp, if this continued, the county lady would become schizophrenic, right?
When Li Mingyue heard that her mother wanted Li Chengen to learn how to make a living from Zhao Hao, she immediately said, "I want to learn too..."
"Okay, let my sister learn it, and let her inherit the family business in the future." Li Chengen responded immediately.
The princess cast a loving look at her daughter and said, "Mingyue, don't you want to study and embroider anymore?"
Zhao Hao also laughed and said, "Yeah, if you have to deal with coal, you will find it dirty."
Li Mingyue thought to herself, I don’t mind… But she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said shyly, “Forget it, I’m weak and can’t breathe when I smell the coal smoke.”
Then she turned around, looked at her brother kindly and said, "Brother, you must learn from me and don't make me angry, otherwise..." Li Mingyue blinked and said, "Sister will be very unhappy."
Li Chengen shuddered, thinking of so many scenes that still frightened him.
Although he was unwilling in his heart, under the double pressure of his mother and sister, he had to force a smile and nodded, saying: "Please teach me more in the future..."
In a trance, Li Chengen thought of the boy who was guarding the door for Zhao Hao.
Years ago, I was still laughing at him, saying that a governor's son was being treated like a servant.
Well, who would have thought that it’s only the first day of the new year and the retribution has come.
The eldest princess's son will be added to the servants' team.
Mr. Zhao's face...
It's the only one of its kind.
~~
After Zhao Hao had lunch at the eldest princess's house, Li Mingyue pulled him to play mahjong again.
Majiang is a type of leaf card game, but unlike the leaf card game where the big card hits the small card, it is a mahjong-type card-matching game.
But there are only three types of cards: Wen Qian, Suo Zi and Wan Zi, totaling thirty cards, which can be seen as a simplified version of mahjong.
Like Mahjong in later generations, Majiang also requires four people to participate, with one person as the dealer and three others knocking on the door to make him leave. The rules of the game are basically the same, so it is easy to get started.
Zhao Hao would occasionally dabble with the guards, but he was not very proficient.
Besides, he wasn't here to win money, but to lose as much as possible to make his godmother and her family of three happy.
Well, I can’t lose my sense of hugging thighs…
Unexpectedly, after playing a few rounds of this card, Zhao Hao found something wrong. Hey, why is it that he always wins?
Is it that my luck this year is too good and I can't lose at all?
Little did he know that there was a traitor among the three women, and with the young county lady trying to provoke him in various ways, it would be difficult for him to lose...
Li Chengen's face turned green, because all the lucky money he received was won by Zhao Hao... This girl is so obviously disloyal, but I don't care.
Fortunately, Zhao Shouzheng came at this time, and Zhao Hao tactfully gave up his seat.
As a result, after a few rounds, Zhao Shouzheng lost all the money he won...
"Old seniors are still the best..." Holding the lost New Year's money, the young master wanted to kiss Zhao Shouzheng.
