Before they knew it, the sun had set and the wind on the riverbank was getting stronger and stronger. The guards came up and put cloaks on the two men.

Seeing that Zhao Hao was so cold that his nose was running, Hai Rui took a deep look at the dam that shocked him so much and said mercifully, "Go down from the dam."

Zhao Haoru was pardoned. He wrapped himself tightly in his cloak and went down the embankment with Hai Rui.

With the levee blocking the wind, Zhao Hao sneezed several times before he recovered.

Hai Rui didn't feel the cold at all. After all, he was a sea warrior who didn't wear a cotton jacket or light a stove in Beijing in the twelfth month.

He actually wanted to talk to Zhao Hao about the Wusong River project, but seeing Zhao Hao's cowardly look, he finally stopped talking.

The four-wheeled carriage slowly drove over. Xiwa jumped out and grinned at Hai Rui, "Hey, old man, how are you?"

Hai Rui was stunned and asked Zhao Hao, "Is the child healthy?"

Xiwa was hit hard.

"Uh..." Zhao Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "Not bad."

He really couldn't introduce him to Hai Rui as the second son of Zhao Zhongcheng who lived across the street from him in Beijing.

Xiwa is shameless, but her elder brother still wants her.

After suffering two consecutive blows, Xiwa opened the car door weakly, and a warm breath blew in her face.

Zhao Hao invited Hai Rui to get in the car, but Hai Rui shook his head and said, "I'll walk back by myself. You don't need to worry about it."

"Then, Lord Hai, please do as you please." Zhao Hao had already used up all his energy, not even a drop left. He didn't bother to be polite with Hai Rui and got on the carriage.

Looking at the luxurious soft furnishings in the carriage, Hai Rui suddenly thought of something and asked, "I heard that since I came here, the wealthy people in Jiangnan no longer dare to ride in a carriage?"

"More than that." Zhao Hao took the handkerchief and blew his nose while saying, "They dare not wear silk clothes, and women are not allowed to wear jewelry. Even the front door of the house is painted black."

"Is it that serious?" Hai Rui muttered after hearing this, "Do you think I'm a tiger?"

"How can a tiger be as scary as a sea lord?!" Zhao Hao said with a wry smile, "Some people may exaggerate what happened elsewhere, but the two Wei Ji Xian restaurants have been fully booked since they opened. The occupancy rate of the founding restaurant has dropped to 80% recently, and the main restaurant is only half full."

"Mr. Hai may not know that when you book a table at Wei Ji Xian, you have to pay a deposit first. If the guests pay but don't come to eat, it means they are really scared."

"Oh..." Hai Rui nodded and had nothing else to say.

"As for Jiangnan Bank, many depositors would rather not pay interest than take their deposits home." Zhao Hao said with a wry smile, "It is said that they are planning to deposit their money in Hangzhou or Yangzhou's money houses to avoid being raided by you."

"What a bunch of cowards." Hai Rui snorted in frustration, "I haven't even taken office yet, can't I wait and see?"

"First, the reputation of Lord Hai is too great. Second, there are people who are fanning the flames and hoping that the world will not be in chaos." Zhao Hao said with a smile: "But it's not entirely a bad thing. Only by fearing power can one cherish virtue. As long as Lord Hai can pacify the situation properly, I believe the situation will stabilize soon."

"Got it." Hai Rui looked a little embarrassed and slammed the car door shut.

"This old man scared me!" Xiwa, whose hand was almost pinched in the carriage, said angrily, "You've been my neighbor for half a year, but you didn't recognize me."

"This shows that you have changed so much that people can't recognize you anymore. A-choo!" Zhao Hao said and sneezed again.

"Really? Have I really changed that much? No." Xiwa felt good about herself again and quickly poured a cup of hot water for her uncle.

Zhao Hao held the water cup, wrapped his cloak around himself and said, "Stir up the fire."

Xiwa was so hot that she took off her coat, looked at the warm cage in the corner of the car and said, "It's already very hot."

"Uncle, you won't catch a cold, will you?" Xiwa is indeed different from before, at least he knows how to take care of people now.

"A-choo, it's possible." Zhao Hao sniffed his nose. Although he felt fine, he still nodded cautiously.

Xiwa quickly patted the carriage and said loudly, "Let's not go anywhere else, let's go straight back to the county government office!"

"No, let's go to the hospital." Zhao Hao said in a hoarse voice: "I want to see a doctor."

Isn't one of the important purposes of Mr. Zhao spending so much money to hire famous doctors and set up hospitals to prevent himself from getting sick?

Moreover, colds and viral colds can cause the risk of severe pneumonia.

Master Zhao, who has always valued his life because he believed that "keeping him alive will be of great use", naturally would not be careless.

Dean, help!

The road had been damaged by the embankment construction and had not been rebuilt in time. After being soaked by the autumn rain, it was full of potholes and difficult to travel.

Even though the four-wheeled carriage was equipped with Eucommia rubber rims and shock absorbers, it still almost broke Master Zhao's intestines.

"Master Hai is so wise. We might as well walk on this broken road..." Zhao Hao was already feeling unwell, and now he was so dizzy that he got carsick.

Half an hour later, the carriage finally arrived at the bank of Xiaozhan River.

This section of the road leading to the hospital was paved with cement by Kunkaisi because Lin Zhongcheng was coming to inspect.

As for the rest of the road, Kunkai Division has no spare capacity this winter and can only repair it next year.

As soon as the carriage got onto the cement road, it immediately became stable. Master Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xiwa to open the window to get some fresh air.

Xiwa's eyes widened when he saw that Hai Rui had also taken this path.

"You, you, can you fly?" The silly child became even more stupid now.

"I took a shortcut." Hai Rui walked over proudly. "You guys were walking too slowly."

He glanced at Zhao Hao, who looked pale in the carriage, and saw that the boy really had a cold, so he said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so vulnerable."

"Master Hai, we must speak with conscience..." Zhao Hao blew his nose in frustration and said, "I accompanied you on the river bank for two hours in the middle of winter, and no matter how strong your physique is, you can't stand it!"

As he was speaking, he saw Gao Wu, who was only wearing a single layer of clothes, walking beside the carriage with a ruddy face.

That would have been fine, even the white-haired Hai An walked behind Hai Rui as if nothing had happened.

"Sir, don't feel inferior. My master has a pure Yang body and has strong fire power since he was young."

"You too?"

"That's not the case. I'm still a virgin." Hai An said with a smug smile, "That's what we call... a virgin."

"Okay^" Mr. Zhao was about to give a thumbs up in admiration, but suddenly he remembered that everyone is a virgin. Is there any more reliable reason?

Hai Rui was worried about Zhao Hao, so he accompanied him to the hospital again.

Although the hospital was closed at this time, it was not a problem for Zhao Hao.

Wan Mizhai and Li Shizhen quickly consulted him and found that it was just a common cold.

With the medical skills of the two miracle doctors, he doesn't even need to take medicine. Just give him moxibustion and a good sleep and he will be fine.

"It was a false alarm." Hai Rui snorted and left.

Unexpectedly, after he left, Master Zhao started to discuss the matter seriously with Li Shizhen.

"I think I can be more seriously ill..."
