The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Having recognized four younger brothers, Zhao Yao, as the boss, naturally wanted to treat them to a meal and get closer to each other.

Zhao Yao invited Chu Huan and the four of them to eat hot pot at Zhenxiu Restaurant.Since hot pot was created by Zhao Yao, it has become popular among the people.In order to attract customers, the major restaurants in the capital will launch new hot pot every once in a while.

Chu Huan and the others like to eat hot pot very much.Zhenxiulou's hot pot is famous throughout the capital, and the four of them also like to come to Zhenxiulou to eat hot pot, but they don't have that much money, so it is impossible to come to Zhenxiulou to eat hot pot every day.

The hot pot was made by Zhao Yao, he is an expert in eating hot pot.The sauces he makes are amazing.He personally prepared sauces for Chu Huan and the four of them, instantly capturing their hearts.

Zhang He and the others like to drink, and Zhao Yao graciously ordered them the best wine in Zhenxiu Restaurant.

While eating hot pot, everyone talked and laughed, and soon became familiar with each other.

Zhao Yao may not be good at other aspects, but he is very good at eating. He told Zhang He and the others a lot about food.

Chu Huan and the others also like to eat delicious food. After hearing what Zhao Yao said about the food, they became even more greedy, so they ate more hot pot.

The four of them also told Zhao Yao a lot of interesting things.Of course, most of them are bragging about their "prestige" in the West Market.Zhao Yao was very caring and did not expose them, and cooperated with them very much, and praised them from time to time.

"Boss, we don't know your identity yet." Shen Sen and the four of them called "Boss" very smoothly, without any reluctance.

"Yes, boss, what does your family do?" Zhang He also asked curiously.

"My family is just an ordinary businessman, without any power." Zhao Yao deliberately teased Zhang He and the four of them, "You won't underestimate me just because my family background is not as good as yours?"

"Of course not, we are not such people." Zhang He's expression suddenly became very serious, "We never judge people by their family background."

Shen Sen nodded again and again: "We hate people who use their family background to bully others the most, we won't be such people."

Hearing Shen Sen's words, Zhao Yao smiled in his heart: I don't know who brought out their father last night, but the general threatened him.

Of course, as a good boss, he will not turn over old accounts and tear down the four younger brothers.

Song Jicai said while eating chicken wings, "We never depended on our family in Xishi."

Zhao Yao: "..." Fatty, are you not guilty of saying this?
Chu Huan put down the teacup in his hand, and said to Zhao Yao solemnly: "You are already our boss, we will not look down on you just because you are the son of a merchant."

Zhang He nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, looking down on you, the boss, isn't it just looking down on ourselves."

Shen Sen asked curiously: "Boss, what kind of business is your family doing?"

"Do some business." Zhao Yao didn't plan to confess his identity to Chu Huan and the others for fear of scaring them away.Although he, the tenth prince, was not very favored, the fathers of the four of them never supported any of the princes.If they were told that their youngest son was getting close to the Tenth Prince, they would absolutely stop it. "It's not very big, and it's no problem to support a family."

Chu Huan felt that Zhao Yao wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't have any evidence, so he didn't ask any further.

"Your family members don't object to your dealings with businessmen?" Zhao Yao asked.

"No objection, as long as we don't do anything wrong, our family members won't care about us." When Shen Sen said this, there was a sense of disappointment in his tone that he hadn't noticed.

"Our family never cared about us." Zhang He didn't think there was anything wrong with this.If his family disciplined him like elder brother Guan and asked him to learn this and that, he would definitely go crazy.

"As long as we don't cause trouble, our family will not care about them." Song Jicai smiled smugly, "Look, we can go wherever we want, do whatever we want, and stop reading if we don't want to."

After hearing what Song Jicai and the others said, Zhao Yao was extremely envious.He also doesn't want to read.

Chu Huan said: "Our family rarely cares about us."

"That's really great. I also want to be free from human control like you, but unfortunately I can't." Zhao Yao said with a bitter face, "I have to study every morning and other things in the afternoon, and I only have one day off for a month. This time It was because of something that my father allowed me to rest for a few days."

After hearing Zhao Yao's words, Zhang He and the others looked at Zhao Yao with sympathy.

"Boss, then you are really miserable."

"Daily reading clubs are killing us."

"If you want me to read every day, reading those books, I will definitely go crazy."

"I'd rather practice archery every day." Although Chu Huan was the smartest and most stable of the four of them, he didn't like reading either.

"I'm the youngest son just like you, but I'm not as lucky as you, and I hope my father doesn't care about me." In the future, he will only be a lazy prince, and he can read and write. He doesn't need to be knowledgeable, so why not Ask him to read every day.

Seeing Zhao Yao's envious eyes, Zhang He and the others were extremely happy.

"Boss, you can learn from us. When we were studying, we used to get mad at the teacher, and then all the teachers in the capital were unwilling to teach us, so our parents no longer forced us to study."

"Boss, we can help you with ideas and make you angry with your husband."

"Boss, we are very experienced in this regard."

"I want to get mad at you, sir, but I don't have the guts." Zhao Yao said with a delicate face, "My father is very fierce and bad, as long as we don't study honestly, we will be punished." , or be punished for copying books.”

"Playing with the board?" When it came to playing with the board, Zhang He and the others felt a little pain in their buttocks.They used to be boarded a lot.

"Yes, the kind that opens up the butt." Zhao Yao said, sighing heavily, "Not long ago, I was punished by my father for copying "The Analects of Confucius" a hundred times. I must copy it myself, and no one else can help me. I copy, and not a single word is missing. My father will carefully check every word I copy, and if I find that I have copied less, my father will punish me for copying a hundred times."

Although Shen Sen and the others don't like reading, they have read "The Analects of Confucius" and know that there are many words in a book of "The Analects of Confucius".Hearing Zhao Yao say that he copied "The Analects of Confucius" a hundred times as punishment, all of them showed terrified expressions.

"Boss, your father...is really scary!"

"Boss, you are too miserable."

"Copied one hundred times... I can't bear to copy only one content."

Chu Huan looked at Zhao Yao with compassion: "Boss, you are so pitiful."

"My father is the devil." Zhao Yao couldn't help pouring bitter water on his four little brothers.

After hearing this, Chu Huan and the others felt very sympathetic to their poor boss, and also agreed with their boss's words. Their boss' father is really a devil.

Compared with the eldest father's father, their father is really a benevolent Bodhisattva!They never blamed their father for being harsh on them anymore.

Chu Huan and the others talked to Zhao Yao about the interesting places and interesting things in the capital.The four of them wandered the streets every day, and they knew a lot about what happened in the capital.

Zhao Yao suddenly thought about the matter of Pei Mansion, and asked casually, "Have you ever been to Pei Mansion?"

"Pei Mansion, which Pei Mansion?" Zhang He and the others didn't think of it for a while.

Chu Huan remembered it, and his face changed instantly.

"Is that the haunted house Pei Mansion?"

"Yes, have you been there?"

Zhang He and the others shook their heads in unison: "No."

"That's a haunted house. It's often haunted. Who would dare to go there?"

"Boss, have you been there?"

Zhao Yao said calmly, "I've been there."

"What?" Song Jicai and the others exclaimed in unison.

"Boss, have you really been there?"

"Boss, you are not lying to us, are you?"

"What did I lie to you, I really went."

"Boss, have you ever seen a ghost?"

Zhang He and the others said with horror on their faces: "I heard that there are many ghosts in there, and there will be ghosts crying in the middle of the night."

"That place is gloomy during the day, and even more spooky at night."

"I heard that the people who have been to the haunted house are either crazy or died of inexplicable illness, or died of sudden bleeding from the seven orifices." Song Jicai looked Zhao Yao up and down, and said in surprise, "Boss, you are not dead!"

"Boss, have you been sick since you came out?"

"No, nothing happened to me." Zhao Yao said again, "I went during the day."

"Boss, isn't it scary inside?"

"The inside is very dilapidated and gloomy. People who are timid will be frightened when they go in." Zhao Yao asked, "Do you know what happened before Pei's mansion?"

Chu Huan and the others shook their heads: "We only know that it used to be Concubine Pei's natal family, and it was ransacked and beheaded during the previous dynasty, so Pei's mansion has become a haunted house."

"Didn't you hear anything else?"

"No."

Chu Huan asked: "Boss, why do you say that?"

"I thought there should be other stories in the Pei Mansion." The second uncle had been inquiring about the Pei Mansion all along, but he didn't find any useful information.

What kind of secret is hidden in Pei's mansion, so that Han Zhong from the Shu area sent people to the capital to search for it.
