Wei and Jin cooks

Although he was not his student, he was still his grandnephew, so Zhao Chen relied on his status as an elder to scold Zhao Hanzhang bloody and drive him out of the yard.

Zhao Hanzhang rolled out of the yard with a look of embarrassment, stroked his chest, and let out a long breath. Fortunately, his eleventh uncle didn't mention copying books again.

Zhao Hanzhang automatically ignored the matter. Men of this age are really irritable.

Zhao Hanzhang was wandering about to go out. When she walked to the door, she remembered that everyone was attending the banquet in the garden, and she seemed to be unable to find anyone.

After thinking about it, she simply asked someone to bring her a bag of candy, and she took it to the village under Wubao.

Zhao's Wubao surrounded the villages where the Zhao clan lived, and then slowly built spacious streets, and then it had tall walls like a city.

But inside, there are still villages scattered around.

After all, not everyone surnamed Zhao has money to buy a house or shop on the main street. Most of the tribe members still live in the village, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Of course, it is winter now and everyone is staying at home for the winter.

Because it was the Winter Solstice Banquet, a big day for the Zhao family, there were many people on the street, including scholars who came here for the occasion, business travelers passing by on business, and more ordinary people from nearby who came to join in the fun.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't stand out at all when she walked into the crowd, but the children running around on the street still recognized her. Compared with the adults who were kind and fearful of her, the children were much more straightforward and chased after her three times. Sister, the third aunt called.

They all know that Zhao Hanzhang is the great hero who saved Wubao, and many children are determined to be like Zhao Hanzhang when they grow up.

Zhao Hanzhang gave them the candy in his hand and asked, "Does your family know that you are coming out to play?"

The children responded in unison: "I know!"

"There are a lot of people in Wubao these days. Don't run around, or be careful of being slapped away."

A child of seven or eight years old said seriously: "As long as we don't leave Wubao, we are not afraid. My eldest brother and the others patrol the streets, and no one dares to catch us in the city."

Zhao Hanzhang reached out and touched his head and said with a smile: "You are so smart. You are so smart. Do you know that there is a distinguished guest named Xia Houren in Wubao?"

"I know, I know," the children replied one after another: "He is a famous scholar. My brother said he is very good at painting."

"I can also learn military tactics."

"They are relatives of ours."

Zhao Hanzhang: "You know so much, do you know where he is now?"

"In the garden?"

"No," a four- or five-year-old child squeezed out from behind a few friends and looked up at Zhao Hanzhang, "I know, it's there."

Zhao Hanzhang looked in the direction he pointed and saw a restaurant. Oh, this restaurant is the property of the seventh uncle's ancestral family.

Zhao Hanzhang gave the child two candies alone, touched his head and praised: "Thank you very much, go play."

After that, he went to the restaurant.

The restaurant was bustling with people and they couldn't enter the garden, but that didn't stop them from commenting on the celebrities from all over the country who came to attend the banquet.

"Xia Houren came here in person, probably to prepare for next year's ordering. I don't know how many people from the Zhao family can order this time."

"It's not difficult for the children of the Zhao family to get into high-grade. What's difficult is to get high-grade. Zhao Ming is so good that he only got the middle-to-high grade. Now it's probably very difficult for any of the children of the Zhao family to surpass him."

"It's a pity that Zhao Hanzhang is not a man. Otherwise, with her current reputation and achievements, she would be ranked above average at worst."

"Hey, I remembered that her fiancée is also in the Zhao family. Fu Changrong was famous for his talents when he was in Chang'an. He and Zhao Hanzhang returned to his hometown with a coffin. He is pure and filial. Such a character can be regarded as a top grade, right?"

"Yes, there are not many people in the world who value love and filial piety as much as he does. Unfortunately, it is up to Zhijun and the others to determine the grade. We will talk about it privately, but we can't decide the grade."

"Have you seen that Mr. Fu Dalang?"

"I've never seen him before, but I'm lucky enough to have seen Zhao Hanzhang."

Zhao Hanzhang passed by him and gave him a look. Unfortunately, he didn't look up, so he didn't see it.

Zhao Hanzhang went directly upstairs. The shopkeeper who was working on the abacus saw her and immediately came out of the counter to greet her. He asked in a low voice: "Why is Sanniang here? There are many people in the restaurant at the moment, and there are many people who know you..."

"I'm looking for Xia Houren."

The shopkeeper immediately gave her directions, "The private room on the second floor, I will take you up."

"No, just tell me which one, I'll just go up there myself."

Zhao Hu's second floor was specially designed for scholars who needed privacy. This layout was better than the largest restaurant in Xiping County.

An independent room with a low table and seats and two side-by-side windows. It was spacious and had good light, but it was cold.

So when Zhao Hanzhang knocked on the door and went in, he saw Xia Houren and He Cheng sitting around the brazier. They stopped talking when they heard the knock on the door, but they never expected that it would be Zhao Hanzhang who came.

Xia Houren was just stunned for a moment before he realized, "Miss Zhao came to see me specially?"

"Exactly," Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile, "I would like to ask my uncle to stay in Xiping for a longer time."

After saluting, she sat down on the other side of the mat and sighed: "I would like to ask my uncle to see more in Xiping County. After being looted by the rebel army, the lives of Xiping people were very difficult..."

Xia Houren said, "This is the responsibility of the governor. I'm just a commoner. What's the use of talking to me?"

He Cheng: ...He is the nephew of He Governor.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "It is said outside that my uncle is here to prepare for General Xiahou's order for next year."

Xia Houren narrowed his eyes, "What does this have to do with the people's livelihood in Xiping?"

"Of course," Zhao Hanzhang said: "If the product is finalized next year, and my uncle is willing to say a few good words for Xiping, so that more talented people can stay in Xiping and build Xiping, then the people's lives will be much easier."

She lacks talents, but the most important thing at the moment is to stop Xia Houren in Wubao and don't wander around if nothing happens. She has many resettlement sites in Xiping County, and the people living there are all young and strong, and there is something wrong with them at first glance.

Although she could make people hide, such a cold weather would hurt her soldiers too much. Zhao Hanzhang was not willing to let his people suffer this, so...

Zhao Hanzhang's eyes fell on Xia Houren, and his face became more and more sincere, "Uncle, it will take a long time to copy the manuscript anyway. Please follow me to take a look at Xiping County. You will feel sorry for them after reading it." It’s pity.”

Xia Houren: ...Are they familiar with each other?

He Cheng couldn't help but said: "Miss Zhao, the best way to govern the people is to do less, or not to do anything, and let them recuperate, so there is no need to appoint talents to Xiping County."

Zhao Hanzhang: "I want them to recuperate and do nothing, but the court's taxes are getting heavier every year. If I do nothing, can the court do nothing too?"

He Cheng was choked and speechless for a moment.

See you tomorrow
