Chapter 500 After growing up
Ten years later, the Zhao family residence.
"It's crooked."
"Go a little to the left."
Zhao Changan was pasting the word "Fu" on the door with the word "Fu" in his hand.
"so?"
"Yes, Tieba."
Zhao Yigui confirmed his position and nodded with satisfaction.
"okay."
"Now that the blessings are posted, it's time to hang the lanterns."
Zhao Changan clapped his hands, retreated to Zhao Yigui, and happily looked at the pasted words "福".
"It's right in the middle. Our family cooperates really well."
"Let's go see how the lanterns made by Lu Ming and Cha'er are doing."
It snowed heavily last night, but fortunately it stopped early in the morning, and the sweepers were clearing the snow on the road.
Seeing the two people walking side by side, they both stopped what they were doing and saluted.
Zhao Changan waved his hand, "It's okay, you are busy with your business."
Zhao Yigui raised his eyebrows, "I'm not used to it yet."
Zhao Changan smiled and said: "You are not very used to it."
Although he has lived in the capital for ten years and the young people in Lihua Village have grown up, he is still not used to a life with too many people waiting on him.
As soon as I walked into the small study room, I heard the laughter of two little girls.
Lu Ming and Zhao Yicha were writing Spring Festival couplets in the small study.
"Sister Tea, look, look!"
After writing a piece, Lu Ming couldn't wait to show it to Zhao Yicha.
The young girl in her cardamom years has a pair of bright eyes, as bright and clear as stars. She is holding a pair of couplets unfolded in front of her body. Her smiling eyes are crooked, and she has a smart and beautiful aura all over her body.
"Wow, Lu Ming writes so well."
Zhao Yicha immediately put down his brush and responded seriously.
"Spring is covered by thousands of doors containing beautiful elephants."
"The next sentence is, the sun rises over the five mountains and the morning glow rises?"
Lu Ming nodded happily, "Hengbiao, good luck!"
"Which sentence did Sister Cha write?"
The girl in front of her is only fifteen or sixteen years old, with willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, tall and slender. She is wearing a polished white skirt embroidered with beads and gold traces. Her hair is as green as the sky and dotted with green, as pretty as a peach, as noble as tea.
"Peace and joy are all your wishes, and pure blessings will come to you with just one thought."
"it is good!"
"That's good."
Before Lu Ming could boast, the voices of his two brothers came from outside the door.
"I've already started writing Spring Festival couplets."
"Brother Chang'an, brother Yigui!"
When they came in from outside just now, both of them were covered in cold air. When they came in, they first took off their fox fur cloaks and hung them aside.
There were no maids in the study, only two little girls.
"It's cold outside, come in and warm yourself by the fire."
There was a charcoal brazier burning in the small study, and the whole room was warm.
Zhao Changan was rubbing his hands by the brazier to warm himself up, and saw six or seven small lanterns placed on the shelf.
"So many lanterns have been made."
"awesome."
Zhao Yigui picked up a lantern on the shelf and said, "I also cut some flowers."
“It sure looks beautiful when lit.”
Zhao Yicha pointed to the other shelf, "It's still rough for us to do this."
"Brothers, look at the rolling lanterns made by Aunt Third and Aunt Miao Miao on the shelf over there!"
Zhao Yigui couldn't hold the festive and round lanterns in his arms.
"The rolling lantern made by Chang Rui and Bo Zong two years ago fell apart before it even rolled around."
"Hahahahaha, I don't know if these two guys can do it this year."
"I'm afraid it will be too late. It will take two days for them to come back."
"Nan Zhou, please transfer him back to Beijing as soon as possible. Grandma has been complaining about it for a year."
Today's Zhao family is still the Zhao family with all kinds of rumors in the capital.
But this time, we no longer rely on others, but on the Zhao family itself.
The eldest son of the Zhao family and the third son of the Zhao family are now serving as Ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Shaoqing of Dali Temple. They are both already in high positions at a young age.
The second eldest son of the Zhao family is engaged in business and has now become the leader of the wealthy businessmen. Who doesn't know that the most lively Lihua Commercial Street in the capital is owned by the Zhao family, with everything you need for food, clothing, and entertainment.
Zhao Laoer still remembered the commercial building that Lu Ming told him about when he was a child. Although he could not build a multi-story building with an extensive area like a garden.
But he can split it up and buy a commercial street with the same area!
Ewha Commercial Street is said to be a street, but it is actually several streets together. They are all regarded as an amusement and shopping park. It is really making money every day.
Everyone in the capital knows that there are three principals in Lihua Street. In addition to Zhao Laoer, there are also two sisters from the Zhao family.
Such a large commercial street cannot be managed by Zhao Laoer alone, so Xu Sanniang and Zhao Mianmian help manage it, and they also enjoy it.
Li Xiuxiu was envious, but she had more things to deal with. Wuweizhai branches were opened in every state and county, and new dishes had to be researched. When the new dishes were developed, they had to be handed over to the chefs in each place, almost all of them gathered around the kitchen. It's spinning.
As good housekeepers, He Sutong and Li Yuebai never stopped sending messages, whether it was flower viewing banquets or poetry gatherings, and the ladies' socializing could not be neglected.
The two old men thought about opening a small school in the capital. They opened it in the suburbs of Beijing, in the house bought by Wu Lang. They taught children from nearby villages. They accepted both girls and boys and brought out many students.
After Wu Lang and Zhao Miaomiao got married, they became the most popular in the autumn of the next year.
Zhao Miaomiao did not live in the courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. In the capital, her dowry was accompanied by several houses and popular shops. In addition to the dividends from the family shop over the years, she herself also learned embroidery from Xu Sanniang and sold it in the embroidery house. The price is high, and she is already a little rich woman.
Wu Lang didn't dare to use his wife's money. He was a manly man who had been trying to make money since he arrived in the capital.
Zhao Laoer led him to do several businesses, and soon earned enough money to buy a house. It was so close to Zhao's house that you didn't even need a carriage. It was just a few steps away.
Xu San still moved out, not far away, next door to Zhao Miaomiao. After marrying Qian Erniu, he had been doing business with Zhao Laoer. He suddenly wanted to train a successor, but later when Changfu and the others took the scientific examination , Xu San also went to try it.
Although Xu San did not pay as much attention to studying as his younger brothers in recent years, he unexpectedly successfully passed the Jinshi examination and became an official. However, after only two years of service, Xu San still wanted to go into business and had a long talk with his family. After several rounds, he resigned and continued to take care of business with Zhao Laoer.
With Xu San taking the lead, Zhao Changfu also took advantage of the opportunity to mention that he did not want to take the scientific examination and become an official, but rather wanted to do business. Mr. Zhao sighed for several days.
Zhao Laoer laughed out loud and patted Zhao Changfu on the shoulder happily for several days.
"Good good."
"If only Ah Wen is the only one in the future, it will be too hard to support Lihua Street alone."
"It's great that you're here, kid!"
Since Zhao Changfu also started to learn to take care of the family business, Xu San's dark circles accumulated over the years have disappeared, and he takes Zhao Changfu with him every day. He was the one who was taught before, and now he can also teach his younger brother.
