Zhao Feng's words made those people blush with embarrassment, and they all felt ashamed.
But Zhou Kang smiled, cupped his hands, and said to them.
"Everyone, I didn't explain the topic in advance today. Why don't you try your luck next time?"
Seeing that the fourth prince said this, those people had no choice but to say goodbye.
After they all left, the fourth prince looked at Zhao Feng and said very sincerely.
"When my husband first appeared, I realized that he was different from ordinary people. I didn't expect that my feeling was actually right!"
"Sir, please move to the main hall. I want to have a nice drink with you!"
Zhao Feng waved his hand and said to the fourth prince.
"Your Highness, I think the environment here is already elegant, so why do you need to go inside?"
Zhao Feng's words made Zhou Kang raise his eyebrows immediately, with a surprised expression on his face.
"You haven't asked your name, sir?"
Zhao Feng waved his hand: "My name is Zhao Feng. I am a country man, not worth mentioning."
Zhou Kang had people bring tables and chairs and put them in the shade of a tree. He asked Zhao Feng to sit down together, and then he said to Zhao Feng.
"Mr. Zhao, it's true that I came up with such a unique selection topic today, but I don't know if Mr. Zhao has any other talents?"
Zhao Feng knew that Zhou Kang wanted to test his true talents, so he smiled directly.
"Please ask His Highness the Prince to propose a question."
Zhou Kang thought for a moment, then looked around. When he saw the large bush of peonies, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Before Zhou Kang could speak, Zhao Feng said directly.
"The green color is leisurely and quiet, and the red dress is light and deep. The heart of a flower is about to die, how can you know the beauty of spring?"
After hearing Zhao Feng's poem, Zhou Kang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and then he was moved by the words in Zhao Feng's poem, and he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
"Yes, Chunse doesn't understand Peony, and others don't understand me either."
"I admire you for your understanding of the subtleties!"
Zhao Feng waved his hand casually and said to Zhou Kang.
"Everyone says that the Fourth Prince likes poetry, but after seeing him today, I'm afraid it's not poetry that the Fourth Prince likes, right?"
There was a surprised expression on Zhou Kang's face, but Zhao Feng didn't say much, but cupped his hands towards Zhou Kang and said.
"Your Highness, to be honest, I came here today just to try my luck. I am truly lucky to be favored by His Highness."
"If His Highness doesn't mind, I'm willing to help His Highness to relieve his worries!"
Zhou Kang was once again shocked by Zhao Feng's amazing observation skills. He was indeed upset about something, but he didn't expect Zhao Feng to notice it so quickly.
When things came to this, Zhou Kang could no longer hide it, so he spoke directly.
"Mr. Zhao is indeed a man of God. I'll tell you the truth. The reason why I want to recruit staff this time, especially those with excellent poetic talents, is for my brother."
Zhao Feng looked at Zhou Kang with some confusion, and Zhou Kang directly explained the cause and effect.
"My second prince is going to hold a poetry gathering in the near future. Although he apparently wants me to attend, he is actually specifically targeting me."
"But I'm not good at poetry, so I came up with this trick. I want to recruit one or two staff to attend the poetry meeting together."
Zhou Kang said this and raised his hands to Zhao Feng.
"Mr. Zhao laughed. Now I see that Mr. Zhao has such keen observation and excellent poetic talent. I wonder if Mr. Zhao can participate in the poetry meeting with me?"
Zhao Feng didn't expect Zhou Kang to directly say what he was asking for, so he pretended to ponder for a while, then nodded and said.
"His Highness kindly invites you. Of course I will attend with Your Highness."
"Since His Highness has confessed so much, it is inconvenient for me to hide it. In fact, I came here out of love at first sight."
"But if I can help His Highness at the poetry meeting, we can discuss this matter later. If I can't help His Highness, then I will have no shame in asking His Highness for help."
Zhou Kang couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, and then said with a smile and cupped his hands.
"No matter whether Mr. Zhao can help me or not, I am very sure of Mr. Zhao's talent. If Mr. Zhao doesn't mind it, how about you become a staff member in my house?"
Zhao Feng waved his hand, with an apologetic smile on his face, and declined.
"Your Highness, we should wait until after the poetry meeting to discuss this matter."
Zhou Kang nodded and sighed silently in his heart. He didn't expect that Zhao Feng, a person with such quick observation and thinking, would be unwilling to stay and help him.
But there was no way around it. Zhou Kang still felt that he should wait until after the poetry meeting to take a good look at Zhao Feng's talent.
Zhao Feng quickly said goodbye and left. After returning to the Shen family's house, he found that Shen Chuchu was still very depressed there, and seemed to have thought of many ways, but all of them had been rejected.
Zhao Feng came over and asked Shen Chuchu with a smile.
"Miss Shen, are you still worried about how to deliver the cloth to the palace?"
When Shen Chuchu heard Zhao Feng's voice, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhao Feng in surprise, then hurriedly stood up and said.
"Mr. Zhao, you are finally back. I wonder if you will gain something from this trip?"
"I have just thought of many ways. If it doesn't work, I will have to spend all my wealth to try to bribe a eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
Zhao Feng quickly waved his hand and said to Shen Chuchu very mysteriously.
"Don't worry, Miss Shen. I already have a solution to this matter. We don't need to go through the Feng family or the eunuchs!"
Shen Chuchu suddenly showed a surprised expression, but Zhao Feng did not explain too much, but asked Shen Chuchu to seize the time and urge the cloth to be delivered quickly.
The second prince's poetry meeting will be held in five days. Before the arrival of this society, Zhao Feng still needs to do some post-processing on these fabrics.
I saw so many flowers in bloom in the fourth prince's residence before, which gave Zhao Feng another idea, so he said to Shen Chuchu who was a little confused.
"However, in order for your Shen family's fabrics to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I still need Miss Shen to help me do a few things."
"The first thing is to buy me some wine. The stronger the wine, the better."
"Secondly, hire some people to collect some flowers outside the capital, or buy some flowers. The more, the better!"
Although Shen Chuchu didn't know, she nodded and agreed, and then followed the instructions one by one.
Zhao Feng went to buy some clay and planned to make some tools himself.
Although he has now contacted the fourth prince Zhou Kang and is confident that he can help Zhou Kang defeat the others at the poetry meeting, this is just a chance to get the Shen family's fabrics into the palace.
If the Shen family's fabrics cannot win the favor of the noble concubine, then all his efforts now will be in vain!
