Chapter 95
Being a father is a magical thing.
When Zhao Kuo saw the wrinkled little baby in the cradle, he could not see anything, but a strange feeling of blood-connectedness still emerged from Zhao Kuo's heart.
On the bed, the weak Tian Wan looked at Zhao Kuo who was carefully holding Xiao Zhao Qian, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face.
In this era, every wife hopes to give birth to a eldest son for her husband, and Tian Wan did it.
Zhao Kuo handed Zhao Qian to the nurse who had already arranged it, and kindly held Tian Wan's hand: "Madam, thank you for your hard work, have a good rest."
Within one day, Zhao Kuo was re-official and had a son, and he was absolutely happy.
Because Tian Wan was going to be in confinement, her trip to Handan was temporarily put on hold. Zhao Kuo himself simply did not take a carriage and rode his horse back and forth between the manor and Handan.
As the saying goes, no one is concerned about poverty in the downtown area, and no one is concerned about wealth in the deep mountains.
When news of Zhao Kuo's reinstatement came out, even though he was located in a manor far away from Handan City, there were still constant visitors.
Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun came in the name of congratulating Zhao Kuo on his son, and handed over the ginseng income that had been delayed for some reason for some reason to be delayed for one month to Zhao Kuo, and also gave Zhao Qian a bunch of gold and jade gifts and other gifts.
Needless to say, other officials from Zhao State were in a constant stream, almost breaking the threshold of the gate of Zhao Kuo Manor.
On this day, an ordinary carriage drove outside the gate of Zhao's Manor.
Lu Buwei walked out of the carriage and looked at the other magnificent carriages outside the gate with some envy.
Those noble officials may not have as much money as Lu Buwei, but they are nobles after all, so they can use gorgeous carriages. As a merchant, Lu Buwei can only use simple carriages. This has nothing to do with money, it is a pure social class! "One day when I leapt on the dragon gate, I must build a good carriage that is unparalleled in the world!"
Lu Buwei took a deep breath, walked to the gate of the manor, took out two greetings, and respectfully handed over to a Zhao Mansion manager at the gate: "The businessman Lu Buwei asked to see Zhao Qing, please inform me."
The manager glanced at Lu Buwei, opened Lu Buwei's post and scanned the contents above, then looked up at Lu Buwei, and said lightly: "It's not that my master and lord don't see you, there are too many people who want to see my master and lord. Come again in ten or eight days."
Lu Buwei was stunned.
In fact, when he handed over the prayer letter, Lu Buwei was mentally prepared to be humiliated.
The line Lu Buwei even thought about it: "A mere businessman wants to see my head?
It’s better to go back and look in the mirror.”
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants, although they have wealth, they are humble. This is really not the first time Lu Buwei has encountered such a thing.
But now, the Zhao family manager is so polite, and even reveals from his words that if Lu Buwei comes a few days later, he will have a great chance of meeting Zhao Kuo.
This... the owner of the manor, Zhao Kuo and Zhao Qing, turned out to be as polite as the rumored.
Lu Buwei's Adam's apple rolled a little, and then took out a piece of silk paper from his sleeve: "The good tutor and the manager learned that he had some friendship with Mr. Guo Zong and Mr. Guo. This is a recommendation letter written by Mr. Guo. I wonder if I can transfer it to Zhao Qing together?"
As he said that, Lu Buwei's sleeves shook, and at some point a small gold ingot appeared in his wrist, which was quietly stuffed into the Zhao family's manager's hand.
The manager's face suddenly changed: "What are you doing?
Take it back, or I will call the guard!"
Lu Buwei was stunned and didn't realize that he wanted to collect which one he wanted to collect.
The manager put the gold ingot back into Lu Buwei's hand and glared at Lu Buwei: "My Zhao Mansion is different from other places, I will remember it next time."
Lu Buwei subconsciously replied, feeling very embarrassed, and at the same time he felt that his values were refreshed.
Nowadays, there are still managers in the noble family who help with business without accepting bribes?
The manager raised his head proudly, stared at Lu Buwei with pride, and then said, "Since there is a book of recommendation from Mr. Guo Zong, then you can wait here."
Looking at the figure of the manager leaving, Lu Buwei stood there, recalling the short conversation that had just happened but surprised Lu Buwei, his mind couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Could it be that I could really meet the young but already famous Zhao Kuo today?
In the room, Zhao Kuo was teasing the little Zhao Qian who had finished her breasts.
"Ah, ah...Ba dad, dad! Come on, call dad!"
Tian Wan on the side couldn't help but say, "Husband, what do dad mean?"
Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Dad is a word for husband's hometown, and the meaning of 'Dad'."
Tian Wan said oh, then smiled and said, "Husband, Qian'er is only a few days old, and it's still early to speak."
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Of course I know that being a husband is cultivating his interest in speaking.
We adults should take the initiative to talk to our children so that they will want to talk to us, so that they will take the initiative to speak.”
Xu Li's arrival interrupted Zhao Kuo and Tian Wan's parenting exchange: "Master, there is a businessman outside who calls himself Lu Buwei and Guo Zong's recommendation book. Do you want to see him?"
"Lu Buwei?"
Zhao Kuo was obviously surprised when he heard this name and almost shook Zhao Qian in his arms.
After traveling through this era for so long, I actually forgot about Ying Yiren Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei who were still in Handan! It was so dark under the light.
"See you, see you right away! By the way, Uncle Xu, go and bring him to see me, remember to be polite."
Xu Li looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise. He had not seen Zhao Kuo lose his composure for a long time: "I'll go now."
Outside the gate of the manor, Lu Buwei stood up with some anxiety, feeling quite nervous.
There were also some officials waiting in the distance. These officials gathered together and occasionally looked at Lu Buwei, who was alone, and said a few contemptuous words with contempt.
"Businessmen and others also want to ask for a meeting with Zhao Qing?"
"A person who carries a lowly karma dares to be so shameless. It's really a worldly turmoil!"
"Zhao Qing has a good temper. Look at the servants of the Zhao family, they are quite gentle. If the manager of the mansion saw such a person, he would have been kicked out with sticks."
These people deliberately raised their voices when they spoke, making Lu Buwei hear it clearly and his face was hot.
No matter how much wealth you have, this situation is the current situation of merchants in this world.
That's why Lu Buwei cursed the fallen prince like Ying Yiren at all costs, and even gave his woman Zhao Ji to Ying Yiren to give birth to a child, just to get rid of this situation! Now, all hope lies with Zhao Kuo, the owner of this manor.
Will Zhao Kuo meet with him?
Although he looked confident in Ying Yiren in advance, Lu Buwei had no idea whether he could succeed or not.
Who made Lu Buwei a businessman who is considered to be "managing a lowly business" by the world?
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a very impressive impression on Lu Buwei appeared at the gate of the manor.
Many officials from Zhao obviously knew this person and immediately surrounded him: "Xu Lishi, does Zhao Qing want to see me?"
"Xu Lishi, Zhao Qing should see me now, right?"
