Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 67 Gifts

   Zhao Hanzhang, who entered the room, motioned Ting He to close the door.

  Ting He glanced at Fu Tinghan and hesitated.

   Zhao Hanzhang only reacted and said to her: "Go and invite Uncle Cheng and Uncle Qianli over, I have something to tell you."

   Listen to He and then go down.

   Zhao Hanzhang took out his jade pendant and looked at it, then handed it back to him with a smile, "It's useless."

  Fu Tinghan took it, "Then what are you going to exchange with them?"

  Uncle Cheng and Zhao Ju came over, Zhao Hanzhang said to Zhao Ju first: "Uncle Qianli, restrain our people, we will stay here for one night, don't ruin grandfather's reputation."

   Zhao Ju should go down.

   Zhao Hanzhang then instructed Uncle Cheng, "You kept the commentary on the Analects of Confucius that Erlang used to read before, and bring it to me."

   Cheng Bo was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly said: "Sanniang, Erlang hasn't started reading this book yet. This is a note specially made by the master to Erlang."

   "I know, I'm here to transcribe it, not to give it away."

  Uncle Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and stepped back to find the book.

   They didn't bring many books, most of them were told by Zhao Hanzhang to receive them in the dowry box and let Ji Yuan take them away.

Because this volume is an annotation made by Zhao Changyu, he has always wanted to teach Zhao Erlang personally, but unfortunately Zhao Erlang is not enlightened, so far it is still on the first page of "Thousand Characters", so this book has always been Zhao Changyu's Yu received.

   When they escaped, Uncle Cheng kept the book like a treasure.

   Zhao Hanzhang took out a stack of paper from the box and started cutting.

  Fu Tinghan helped her and took a bowl to grind ink, "Together?"

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded with a smile.

   The two of them had nothing to do, the night was long, and it was not bad to copy books to cultivate sleepiness.

   The two of them shared a table, opened the book, and copied one page each, very fast.

   This is not the entire "Analects of Confucius", there are three volumes in total, this is the first volume, and Zhao Changyu's meticulous annotations are on it.

   "The Analects" is not easy to get, but the commentary is even more rare, especially this is the commentary made by Zhao Changyu, not to mention its meaning, even if it is put in the world, it can be worth ten or one hundred gold.

   And in this village where the vast majority of people are illiterate, this book is an invaluable treasure.

When    came in, Zhao Hanzhang saw a brush that was about to go bald in the wing next to him. Obviously, someone in this family could read and write.

   Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan worked together for half the night to copy out a volume of annotations on the Analects.

   Zhao Hanzhang put the order in order, pressed it on the desk, saw Fu Tinghan who was so sleepy that his eyes were about to close, and tapped his shoulder, "Go and rest."

  Fu Tinghan woke up and left little by little.

Zhao Hanzhang was lying on the bed, yawned, turned over and fell asleep. At this time, Mr. Chen, who had been looking for his family among the refugees, met Mr. Jia. The neighbors saw their neighbors, tears welling up, and they hugged each other. sobbing.

   Master Jia: "Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to be alive, so happy, so happy."

   "Brother Jia, I finally found you, do you know where my family is?"

"Over there," Master Jia said, "we only caught up with the army at noon, but there were too many refugees, and it stretched for a few miles. I heard that one of your elder brothers served in the forbidden army, so your family said goodbye to us and went to look for relatives. , I occasionally met in the evening, it should be there."

  Master Jia saw Ji Ping's tall and strong man behind him, and asked suspiciously, "Who are these?"

   Master Chen hurriedly said: "It's the righteous people I met on the way. Thanks to them for saving lives, otherwise I really wouldn't have seen Brother Jia."

   Master Jia looked at him enviously.

   Master Chen was busy taking Ji Ping to find his family.

   Mrs. Chen was overwhelmed with surprises when she saw Mr. Chen and his daughter, and rushed up crying, "Lang Jun-"

  The children also came together, and the family hugged and cried bitterly.

   Ji Ping:  …

   After crying, Master Chen looked at his dark-faced cousin, wiped away his tears and stepped forward, "Fourth brother, brother almost won't see you."

  Chen Shilang waited for him to finish crying before asking, "Who rescued you then?"

   His eyes fell on Ji Ping, but he felt that he was not an ordinary Jianghu or a righteous man, but like him, who also came from the army.

   Master Chen pulled him aside and whispered what happened along the way.

  Chen Shilang looked at him in surprise, "Zhao Zhongshu's granddaughter?"

   "Yes, it's definitely not something in the pool. She even saved me, fourth brother, why not sell her one?"

  Chen Shilang: "Does she know that her uncle has been promoted?"

"what?"

   Chen Shilang pondered: "The news from the middle tent, today Zhao Zhongyu is promoted to the decree of the minister."

   Mr. Chen hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, I think the relationship between the Zhao family's eldest room and the second room is somewhat unusual. Why don't we separate the two rooms?"

   Chen Shilang heard his bias and asked, "Do you think the big room of the Zhao family can turn over and press on the second room?"

   "Many friends have multiple paths, not to mention, regardless of interests, she also saved my life and Erniang's life, just to repay..."

Chen Shilang understood it, thought about it, and then said: "I don't have much food to spare, but I know a few grain merchants who accompany the army. They have a lot of them. Taking the opportunity to make a fortune, I have nothing on my side, and the price they need is not low."

   Mr. Chen went to Ji Ping immediately, and after a while he brought a box and opened it for Chen Shilang to see the pearl jewelry inside.

  Chen Shilang nodded with satisfaction when he saw the pearls that looked like this, "I'll go and prepare them for them tomorrow."

But Master Chen begged: "Brother, we can wait, but they can't wait. At that time, in order to cover us to go first, the luggage and food brought by Zhao Sanniang and her party were all robbed. You are affected, and the matter will be decided tonight. Come on, they can leave early tomorrow morning, and Ji Ping is a part of the Zhao family in the end, if you accidentally let Zhao Zhongyu's people see..."

  Chen Shilang looked at him, "You, you, I really owe you."

   He strode away to get them connected.

As the night got darker, the noisy campsite slowly quieted down. Zhao Zhongyu walked out of the middle of the account with a tired body. The guards who were waiting not far away immediately greeted him, held a torch to show him the way, and said in a low voice, "Lord Lang, Shizi, no, Uncle and the others are here."

   Zhao Zhongyu regained his spirits, quickened his pace, and asked, "Is everyone safe?"

   The guard did not answer.

   Zhao Zhongyu couldn't help frowning and looked at him, "Why, what happened on the way to escape?"

   The guard whispered: "Only Uncle and the others, Erniangzi and Sanniang Erlang are not among them."

   Zhao Zhongyu's face sank and he stopped, "What do you mean? Sanniang and Erlang are not here, where did they go?"

   The guard's voice was even lower, "They said they got separated on the road."

   Zhao Zhongyu clenched his fists and asked, "Then... where is the coffin?"

   The guard lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It was lost together."

See you tonight
