Northern Song Dynasty: It’s a showdown, who said I, Zhao Zhen, don’t have a son?

Chapter 75 People are indifferent!

Like businesses across Bianjing, as the New Year approaches, all the stalls in Chonghe Night Market have closed.

The prosperous Bianjing did not seem cold because of this, but the streets became more lively.

The Japanese envoy will arrive in Bianjing on the third day of the first lunar month, and the news spreads quickly in Bianjing.

After all, under the emperor's feet, news spread the fastest, and there was no literary prison in the Song Dynasty. As long as it was not taboo, everything could be said freely, including politics.

"Oh, the Japanese country? It's just a small country. Do you come to visit me, the Song Dynasty, to take the initiative to have good relations with the Song Dynasty?"

"Listening to what I said above, it seems that this is not what I mean. Haven't we, the Song Dynasty, always wanted to have good relations with the Japanese country in these years?"

"What?! The Japanese country only needs me, the Song Dynasty, to deal with them? How many of them do they count?"

"If you say this in a low voice, it will be a big deal if someone hears it. It is said that the envoy this time will stay in Bianjing for a long time, and there are hundreds of people coming, including monks, craftsmen, and scholars. In short, they have different backgrounds. Xiao, the officials take it very seriously."

Compared with the people in Bianjing who spread the news, Zhao He probably learned the news three days earlier than these people.

What I learned from Mr. Jia's mouth showed that this person was not a simple person. He probably had an official position in the court.

In his spare time, Zhao He would also think about the identities of the people around him, such as the old man Fan who taught next door, the Jia Gong and Wang Jiefu.

The first two Zhao He couldn't really figure it out, but Wang Jiefu, he always felt that he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

Well, my free time is so leisurely, let’s go play chess with Mr. Fan!
He was actually not interested in playing chess, mainly because Old Fan's expression when playing chess always made people want to laugh, and his patience in wanting to curse but maintaining his status as a scholar also made Zhao He really find it interesting.

Old Man Fan, this guy is actually quite powerful.

Fan Lou seems to be building momentum. They have been making a lot of moves recently. Sister Qin, who has a broad mind, has come to remind Zhao He several times, saying that she wants Zhao He to pay attention.

Of course he knew that if Fan Lou wanted to take action, he must try to regain his reputation before the Shangyuan Festival. After all, the annual Shangyuan Poetry Festival in Bianjing was the busiest.

With such leisure, the year has come to an end quickly.

In the early morning, when the sky was slightly bright outside the house, Guo Huai called Zhao He to get up and brought a set of dark gown for Zhao He to change into.

"Uncle Guo, is there any custom here in Bianjing so early?"

Guo Huai smiled and shook his head: "There is no custom at all. It's okay to get up early and go out for a walk. After changing clothes, wash your face. The Imperial City seems to be quite lively today."

Every year at the end of the twelfth lunar month, the fireworks display for that night begins outside the Imperial City. Fireworks are actually set off all over the city, but compared to the large-scale event hosted by the royal family, they are actually not enough to see.

He didn't think much about it, but it was only this once a year opportunity, so he thought about letting Zhao He also take a look.

On weekdays, Zhao He would get up at this time to go to the morning market. He would definitely not be able to sleep if he was woken up. When he heard that there was a lot of excitement, he wanted to join in the fun.

Zhao He touched the clothes and said curiously: "Uncle Guo, did you buy these clothes? The fabric is very good!"

Guo Huai nodded: "This dress is black brocade produced by Luo's Cloth Co., Ltd., originating from Jiangning. It is an extremely high-quality fabric, and it can barely match the young man's status."

Zhao He didn't hear what Guo Huai meant by talking to himself, so he immediately put on this long gown.

Guo Huai then took care of Zhao He very delicately, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes to equip his horse with a saddle. After changing into high-end clothes, Zhao He's temperament has completely changed. He looks no different from the descendants of Bianjing's powerful families.

After all, he is a prince from an official family, so he looks good like this!
Zhao He shook his sleeves. These expensive clothes were so comfortable to wear!
Ah!Girls and young women in Bianjing, here I come!
After breakfast, the sun had already risen. Taking Zhou Fei with them, the three of them went out together.

In Zhao He's game, he is dressed in a long black gown. He is handsome and elegant. He has his hands behind his back, which makes him look quite majestic.

Zhou Fei has a simple and honest appearance, but is more calm, while Guo Huai is mature, always has a smile on his face, and is particularly kind.

The three of them were walking on the road, acting like a playboy from a certain family who came out to stir up trouble. Everyone on the street was a little confused.

"That man is Xiaolangjun? Why do you look like you want to beat him so much?" "I changed my clothes and deserved to be beaten even more!"

"Are you going out to kidnap someone's girl?"

Zhao He's expression immediately changed and he said, "Do you want to listen to what you are talking about? Am I that kind of person? You can't even praise me?"

"Haha, it's a ghost to go out during the Chinese New Year."

"This year's bad luck is finally over."

"I've never seen anything so beautiful."

Zhao He's face suddenly darkened and he immediately ignored such people.

How could these people in the market understand my aura of being out of the world?
Not far away, the daughter of the familiar pork stall owner seemed to be busy helping the family. She just went out and saw this scene, and she was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhao He immediately gained confidence and put a smile on his face.

"Little lady, are you making something delicious? Can you give me a bite too?"

In almost a breath, Zhao He saw shyness, confusion, surprise, and fear on the girl's face, and finally rushed back home like flying.

Zhao He put his hands behind his back and chuckled: "Look, this little lady must have an endless admiration for me in her heart right now. She has gone back to her room shyly. I'm afraid she won't be able to forget me for a long time."

"Weng Weng, there is a prostitute outside the door teasing me!"

Two people beside him: "."

Zhao He immediately ran away, and Guo Huai and Zhou Fei hurriedly followed.

The butcher's voice could be heard yelling and cursing from behind, and he seemed to be holding a knife in his hand.

"Damn it, what bastard dares to molest my daughter!"

Fortunately, I ran fast.
After confirming the safety, Zhao He also said angrily: "Uncle Guo, where did you buy these clothes? Let's go find him. This reaction is wrong!"

Both of them were holding back their laughter, but it was Zhou Fei who said, "Xiao Langjun, there's nothing wrong with your clothes, they're fine, but there may be something wrong with you, mainly because you're too tired."

Another difference is the image difference. Zhao He is usually talkative, carefree and a little bold. His sudden change of appearance is really hard for people to accept.

Moreover, Zhao He himself has a low self-esteem. He has a good relationship with these vendors on weekdays, and his quality is surprisingly high. He greets their families every now and then, and will definitely curse them if he has such an opportunity.

For example, when Fan Zhongyan saw him, his eyes immediately turned white and he said something good was being spoiled.

To put it harshly, in Chonghe Street, only those who have a bad relationship with Zhao He would praise him.
There are almost no such people.

Seeing that Zhao He was a little depressed, Zhou Fei immediately said that he would take Zhao He to a good place to help him regain his confidence as a man!
Outside Chunming Building, Qin Wan also came out early in the morning to prepare for the activities that night on the first day of the year, and saw Zhao He.

The pair of narrow eyes widened in surprise at first, and then narrowed into a smile. The mood was obviously very good because of seeing Zhao He.

It is not difficult to see from this reaction that Zhao He has changed a lot.

"Young gentleman, this outfit was specially worn for the slave family to see. He is so handsome."

Guo Huai and Zhou Fei rolled their eyes and turned their backs.

Pooh!
Qin Wan approached with a smile, helped Zhao He straighten his clothes, and said softly: "If you are free tonight, I would like to entertain you personally."

Zhao He immediately sighed with emotion: "Sister Qin, thank you!"

"It seems that not all people in this world are so heart-wrenching!"
