Chapter 142: A Happy Encounter at the City God Temple Fair



"Mingyue!" Zhang Xiaojing was actually among the group of boys and girls. When she saw Li Mingyue, she ran over happily.

"What's going on?" Li Mingyue asked the little traitor angrily in a low voice, "Why are you hanging out with that kind of guy?"

"What can I do? You left me alone. I had no choice but to go shopping with my brothers. Who knew they would make an appointment with Xu Yuanchun..." Zhang Xiaojing muttered softly:

"I'm getting fed up with hearing them praising Master Xu. Luckily I met you. Now you can't get rid of me no matter what you say."

As she said this, she naturally grabbed Li Mingyue's arm, then smiled and bowed to Zhao Hao.

"Who is this girl?" Zhao Hao had never seen Zhang Xiaojing before. After returning the greeting, he asked Li Chengen in a low voice.

"This is the daughter of Mr. Zhang." Li Chengen introduced her to Zhao Hao: "That one is her elder brother Zhang Jingxiu, and the other two are her younger brothers Sixiu and Maoxiu. There are two younger brothers at home who are too young to be brought out."

Zhao Hao nodded in realization. Looking at the handsome men and beautiful women of the Zhang family, a voice suddenly rang in Zhao Hao's mind:

"The people in our Zhang family are very capable and powerful!"

Hmm, it seems the accent is not right.

Zhang Jingxiu had seen Zhao Hao at Lingji Palace, but he didn't expect to run into him here, so he quickly brought his two younger brothers over to pay their respects.

Unexpectedly, I met Zhang Juzheng's daughter and three sons here.

Zhao Hao really wanted to ask them, "Is your father trustworthy?" It's very uncomfortable to leave him hanging there, you know!

~~

Xu Yuanchun organized a grand gathering of cabinet officials today.

In his group, in addition to the children of the old Zhang family, there are also the children of the deputy assistant Li Chunfang and the grand scholar Chen Yiqin...

These young men and women were well-informed and all knew that Zhao Hao had given lectures at Lingji Palace.

Naturally, they were very curious about how he could establish his own school at such a young age, and they all greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but gasp when meeting these genuine yamen officials one by one.

Including Xu Yuanchun, all of these young masters will pass the imperial examinations and become Jinshi in the future.

Moreover, Chen Yiqin's son, Chen Yubei, was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing and a future Grand Secretary.

Looking at Master Chen wearing the round collar of a juren, Zhao Hao couldn't help but salivate. He really wanted to take him under his wing.

Unfortunately, he was proud of his status and only bowed politely to Li Chengen for his sake, then went to talk to Xu Yuanchun and the others.

She didn't seem interested in talking to him.

Humph, if you ignore me today, I will make you out of reach tomorrow...

"That day in Lingji Palace, I listened to Brother Zhao's profound talk on science. It was really refreshing." Zhang Jingxiu was very interested in Zhao Hao. He pulled him aside and started a conversation, saying, "My father is also very interested in science. When he has time, he writes and calculates with the "Geometry Primer."

"Oh, really?" Zhao Hao couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. It turned out that Zhang Idol wasn't just saying it casually! Then I can wait with peace of mind.

When he was about to say something polite, his eyes suddenly widened - he saw his father and the eldest princess actually brushing shoulders and walking out from the food stall opposite.

Zhao Hao's head buzzed. If these guys saw this, wouldn't the entire cabinet know about it?

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong?" Zhang Jingxiu noticed something was wrong with Zhao Hao and looked in the direction he was looking.

"No, nothing!" Zhao Hao suddenly stretched out his hand, put his hand on his shoulder, and turned Zhang Jingxiu around. Then he pointed at the sky and shouted, "Look, what is that? I, Zhao Hao, don't recognize it!"

As expected, Zhang Jingxiu turned his gaze and looked in the direction Zhao Hao pointed.

~~

Here, the princess drank soy milk and ate fried dough sticks, fulfilling her long-cherished wish. She left the food stall contentedly with Zhao Shouzheng.

Zhao Shouzheng led the way and turned back to ask her what she wanted to eat. The eldest princess only had eyes for Zhao Lang. They didn't even notice that a large group of younger generations were right in front of them.

Then he heard a sudden shout: "Look, what is that? I, Zhao Hao, don't even recognize it!"

The two of them were startled at once, and saw their own child and a group of young boys and girls standing outside the food stall, blocking their way.

Zhao Shouzheng immediately broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like he was caught cheating.

Although the eldest princess is not afraid of being found out, how can she, as a mother, discipline her children in the future if they see her doing this without any warning?

In a panic, the two wanted to go back to the food stall, but a group of customers came out from behind to pay their bills, not only blocking their way back, but also urging them to hurry out.

It's really a dilemma, and I can't back down!

Suddenly, something was stuffed into each of their hands. They took it up and looked at it, and they were extremely surprised!

Fang Wen finished his work and left, hiding his achievements and fame.

~~

Outside the food stall, the others heard his voice and turned to look at the sky.

It turned out that a kite stall not far away was flying a huge centipede kite with living eyes, living joints, and a length of three or four meters.

"You are surprised by what you have seen..." Xu Yuanchun said disdainfully, "You have never even seen a kite?"

"Hey, I've never seen such a big one..." Zhao Hao said, and pointed to the other side, saying in a louder voice: "I, Zhao Hao, don't know that one either. Are there any flying lanterns?"

"That's a Kongming lantern..." Now not only Xu Yuanchun, but everyone else burst into laughter.

"Can't you tell my brother is joking?" Seeing that they were all laughing at Zhao Hao, Li Mingyue was furious. She put her hands on her hips and spoke for him, "My brother is very capable. How could he not even recognize a Kongming lantern?"

Zhao Hao was also filled with embarrassment, thinking to himself, Dad and Mom, please don't waste this opportunity, otherwise I will be embarrassed for nothing.

He took the opportunity to cover his face to secretly glance in the direction of the two people and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

The eldest princess was wearing a mask of the White Impermanence, and her father was wearing a mask of the Black Impermanence.

You two reacted pretty quickly...

The two men nodded slightly to Zhao Hao and passed by the group of people as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, old senior?" Li Chengen felt very familiar when he saw Zhao Shouzheng's back.

This sound frightened Zhao Shouzheng so much that he almost collapsed to the ground. He was supported by the eldest princess and hid in the crowd.

"What are you looking at? My father is at the porridge shop now." Zhao Hao pushed Li Chengen's head back.

"What a coincidence, my mother also went to the porridge place..." Li Chengen touched his chin and muttered, "It turns out that I was wrong, but the back of that person really looks like an old senior."

"If I say it's not true, then it's not true." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Am I more familiar with my father, or are you more familiar with my father?"

"That's true..." Li Chengen stopped talking.

Zhao Hao then walked over to the angry Li Mingyue with peace of mind and said to the young masters and ladies with a smile, "Yes, I was just joking. In fact, not only do I know about Kongming lanterns, I can also make a Kongming lantern that can carry people to the sky."

"Hahaha..." Naturally, everyone burst into laughter again, and they felt that Mr. Zhao was too funny.

"How could a Kongming lantern carry people into the sky? Hahaha..." Xu Yuanchun laughed so hard that tears came to his eyes.

He really wanted to see the scene where Zhao Hao was hung on a Kongming lantern and gradually ascended into the sky, disappearing into the distant sky...

"If you don't believe me, let's make a bet," Zhao Hao said to everyone with a smile, "If I can build it, how about you all become my scientific disciples?"

"What if you can't make it?"

"If I can't make it, I'll just call you all Master." Zhao Hao spread his hands and said that the transaction was fair and honest.

"Let's bet!" The young masters and ladies thought it was quite amusing, so they all nodded and said with a smile: "It's quite an honor to be called Master by Master Zhao, who founded a school of thought."
