Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 66 There are villages

The group quickened their pace, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, they saw the house. This should be a small town. The houses have been scattered at first, but up the terrain, you can see the smoke rising. Obviously, this It's a big village.

   Several households living at the entrance of the village poked their heads out when they heard the movement. They were startled when they saw so many people and horses, and immediately closed the door and hid in the house.

   Zhao Hanzhang heard the bang, followed the sound, and saw a young man ducking out of a yard, avoiding their sight, and running to the village.

   Zhao Hanzhang saw this, raised his hand to stop everyone, glanced around and pointed to the wild tunnel beside him: "Stay here tonight, Uncle Qianli, restrain everyone, and don't enter the village to harass the villagers."

Her eyes fell on the refugees who followed them, and said to Uncle Cheng: "Give them some steamed buns and tell them that if they want to follow us, they must obey the rules. When the rebellion is dealt with."

   Cheng Bo responded, took out the grain bag, thought about it, and took half of it.

   Zhao Hanzhang helped Mrs Wang off the horse and found a stone to let her sit down, "Auntie, do you have anything valuable on you?"

  Wang: "…"

   She touched the hairpin on her head subconsciously and looked at her daughter. She still nodded her forehead and cursed in a low voice, "You are really a debt collector."

   She took it off and gave it to her, whispering: "We have so much belongings in our family being robbed, and you can't even eat yourself. You are so stupid and generous."

   Zhao Hanzhang smiled at her to please.

  Wang's face looked worried, "I don't know if Mr. Ji has returned to Runan safely with your dowry. If...then what we have now is the only property in the family, so don't be extravagant."

   Zhao Hanzhang said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I know what I know."

   Zhao Hanzhang rummaged through the only box, but he couldn't find anything good, so he could only wrap the hairpin with a handkerchief to make it look more valuable.

  Fu Tinghan saw it, stretched out his hand to take off the hairpin, and gave her the jade pendant on his waist, "This is better."

   Zhao Hanzhang took it, saw the words on the jade pendant, returned it, shook his head and said, "No, this jade pendant is too good, it also has your surname on it, it should be carved for you by your elders."

  Fu Tinghan insisted on handing it to her, "Take it, you want to exchange food, how can you not have enough sincerity?"

   Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and took it, "I'll redeem it for you later."

   Fu Tinghan smiled.

   Zhao Dian took the people out to find the water source, brought the water back, and found some firewood, and the people in the village finally came under the leadership of the young people who reported the news.

  The villagers were all armed with sticks and hoes and kitchen knives, but did not dare to get too close. Seeing that they were stationed at the entrance of the village and did not enter the village, they immediately stopped and hid the sticks and kitchen knives behind them.

An old man and a middle-aged man walking in the front paused for a while, then immediately turned around to make the villagers stop, the two walked forward together, bowed to Uncle Cheng, and said, "I don't know which one of the distinguished guests is in charge. ?"

   asked that, but their eyes fell directly on Fu Tinghan.

   Fu Tinghan looked directly at Zhao Hanzhang.

   Zhao Hanzhang got up, greeted him with a smile, and bowed first, "I'm disturbing the old man."

  Cheng Bo said immediately: "This is my girl, she is in charge of the team."

  The old man was slightly surprised, but he didn't dare to underestimate Zhao Hanzhang. He saw the coffin protected by everyone and asked, "I don't know what the girl is called, where are the people, where do they come from, and where are they going?"

   Zhao Hanzhang: "Sanniang came from the Zhao family in Runan, and came out of Luoyang. Her grandfather passed away. Therefore, she has to help her coffin to return to her hometown. She passed the precious land and disturbed the old man and the villagers. Please ask Haihan for the disturbance."

   The old man was startled and could not help but glance at the coffin again.

Not everyone can use the word   薨.

  In addition to the queen mother and prince in the palace, only the powerful generals and princes are qualified to use this word.

   "I don't know who my ancestors are. Since we met, we should pay homage."

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "The ancestors go up to Cai Bo, the former Zhongshu decree."

  The old man was startled, and tears came out immediately, "It's Uncle Zhao."

   He immediately pulled the middle-aged man forward to kneel and worship, Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly helped him up, "I'm waiting for the old man."

The old man said with tears: "Uncle Zhao can bear this gift. The military disaster in Yong'an affected us. Our villages were raided again and again, and we could hardly survive. It was Uncle Zhao who came to restrain us. Those soldiers who looted everywhere, we didn't leave our hometown, we all remember this kindness, I didn't expect the grace to be..."

   He cried and asked, "When did Engong go?"

   Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, "Eight days ago."

  The old man looked at them, then looked at the coffin, where would you let Zhao Changyu's coffin fall frost outside?

   So he immediately asked people to build a shack in his yard to place the coffin.

   dragged Zhao Hanzhang and was about to invite him home as a guest.

   Zhao Hanzhang quickly refused, "We only stay for one night, so there is really no need to build a spirit shed."

   "If Engong is allowed to eat and sleep in our village, how can I live in the world?"

   Zhao Hanzhang heard the words and could only follow them into the village.

  Fu Tinghan followed her blankly and entered the village with everyone.

  The people in the village changed their previous defenses and hostility, and warmly welcomed them.

  The shed was quickly erected, and Zhao Changyu's coffin was carried in. A group of weeping people came from the village. They cried hoarsely and burst into tears, which was more real than Zhao Hanzhang's own granddaughter.

   Zhao Hanzhang stared blankly.

  The old man also went up to cry, and then came to entertain them with red eyes. He looked curiously at Fu Tinghan who had been following Zhao Hanzhang, "This is..."

   "Oh, this is the fiancé my grandfather appointed me, and he is also the eldest son of the Fu family. It's fine for my father to call him Fu Dalang."

  Wang was saddened by the cries of the villagers, and dragged his son to the father-in-law to cry, and almost fainted. In the end, he was supported by Qinggu and Tinghe to rest.

   Zhao Erlang was injured yesterday. Today, sitting on the horse for a day, his back and buttocks hurt so much that he was so sleepy that he almost closed his eyes. He followed his mother into the house in a daze.

The old man kept watching, sighed when he saw this, asked his daughter-in-law to ask Zhao Hanzhang to go down to rest, and pulled his son aside to speak, "It should be true, I heard that Uncle Zhao's grandson is as stupid as Emperor Hui. Son, looking at their clothes and talking, they don't look like liars."

   The middle-aged man asked, "What does Father mean?"

"I don't think they will stay long. If they are not evil people, then we should treat guests well. I see their luggage is scattered, and there are a group of refugees behind them. Most of them escaped to avoid disaster. We should prepare more food. Send them away well."

  The old man sighed and said, "I have repaid the kindness, but also to avoid disasters."

  The middle-aged man should get down, bow down and prepare.

See you tomorrow
