Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 44 Negotiation

Zhao Hanzhang worked hard to open a crack. The burlap made her cheeks feel rough. She stood up and realized that she was lying on Fu Tinghan's lap at some point.

She rubbed her face and looked up at Fu Tinghan.

Fu Tinghan was leaning on the pillar behind him and was sleeping soundly. Zhao Hanzhang saw his eyes turning blue and his brows furrowed slightly, so he quickly stood up and sat upright.

But maybe it was because she had maintained the same posture for a long time that half of her body was numb. As soon as she sat up straight, her body fell to the side uncontrollably and fell directly on Fu Tinghan.

Fu Tinghan opened his eyes and his hand was already supporting her.

When the three Aunt Zhao sisters came in, they saw Fu Tinghan holding Zhao Hanzhang in his arms. The three of them were startled. Aunt Zhao quickly turned her back and pulled Zhao Erniang and Zhao Siniang around.

But the two of them were turned away, but they kept looking back. Zhao Erniang coughed heavily.

Zhao Hanzhang rubbed her thighs and tried to stand up. The sour feeling made her hiss.

Fu Tinghan also felt numb, but he still said nothing. He helped Zhao Hanzhang stand up and glanced at the three people standing at the door of the mourning hall.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at them inexplicably, "Is the yard outside nice? Come in."

Aunt Zhao and the other three turned around and saw that the two of them were still leaning together, so they looked away and said, "Third sister, you go wash up and have a meal. We will guard here."

Zhao Hanzhang rubbed away the numbness and stepped forward to burn a stick of incense and a handful of millet stalks before answering.

Fu Tinghan silently followed her outside.

Zhao Erniang watched the two people leaving side by side and wondered, "Why does Mr. Fu Dalang like the third sister so much?"

He came to her door every day before, and he never left her even if she was in danger like yesterday. He even stayed with her to pay homage to her. Didn't they just meet her not long ago?

But why do you look so affectionate?

Zhao Siniang: "Maybe it's because of some conspiracy? The third sister is the richest in the family now, right?"

Zhao Hanzhang led Fu Tinghan to the guest room and asked Zhao Cai to take care of him, and then she went back to the room.

Tinghe fetched water for her to wash her face and whispered: "Sanniang, Mr. Ji is waiting for you outside the west corner door."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded in agreement, and then went to the west corner gate after arranging his hair briefly.

The west corner door is on the side of the main room, close to Zhao Changyu's study. Along the way, she only met a few servants sporadically. When they saw Zhao Hanzhang, they bowed their heads and saluted, and only raised their heads when Zhao Hanzhang passed by.

Zhao Hanzhang walked out and asked Tinghe, "Are all the people here arranged by Uncle Cheng?"

"Yes, according to your instructions, we have replaced them early. They are all on the proposed dowry list."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

When the concierge guarding the west corner door saw Zhao Hanzhang, he quietly opened the door without asking a word. He went out and looked around first, and then let Zhao Hanzhang go out after making sure it was safe.

A bullock cart was parked not far from the alley, blocking the entrance of the alley.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded to Tinghe and stepped forward.

The driver raised his head, and Zhao Hanzhang saw Zhao Ju's face under the bamboo hat.

Zhao Hanzhang: ...It doesn’t have to be like this, right?

She held Zhao Ju's hand and got into the car. Ji Yuan was sitting in the car. When he saw her, he immediately stepped aside, bent down and saluted hastily, "Girl, my condolences."

Zhao Hanzhang sat down and looked up at him, "Have you guessed it, sir?"

Ji Yuan sighed: "It was calm after Zhao's house was surrounded, so I guessed Master Lang's solution."

Zhao Hanzhang was silent for a moment, "What's going on over there in the west of the city?"

"Don't worry, lady. People and property are in good condition."

Zhao Hanzhang: "What did my uncle give you yesterday?"

Ji Yuan: "Just as I was about to discuss with the girl, the second old man left me alone and asked Zhao Ju to bring all the troops from the Zhao family to the city."

Zhao Hanzhang pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Laoji will stay with my uncle for now to help his father and son manage the Zhao family as soon as possible."

Ji Yuan raised his eyebrows, "I wonder when the deadline is up?"

"When the funeral is over, I will talk to my uncle about carrying the coffin back home. At that time, I will ask Uncle Qianli to escort our siblings. Mr. Ji can accompany us, or he can directly resign as a staff member."

Zhao Ju is a member of the Zhao family. He is bound to the Zhao family and is not free, but Ji Yuan is free.

Zhao Changyu, who he originally worked for, is dead. He can choose another master. If he wants to leave, Zhao Zhongyu can't stop him.

What matters is Zhao Ju.

Once Zhao Changyu died, he nominally belonged to the new head of the family, Zhao Zhongyu, or the new Shangcai Bo Zhao Ji.

But as long as she can bring him to the team carrying the coffin back home, then Zhao Ju will belong to her.

Zhao Hanzhang never thought about continuing to eat from the same pot as his second wife.

Ji Yuan was a little surprised, "The girl wants to leave Luoyang and start a family alone?"

"Can't you?"

Ji Yuan pondered, "Girls are women after all, so there are many inconveniences in their actions, and Erlang is honest and honest. If there is no clan to take care of him, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Sir, you all know my uncle's character and temperament. I have so many people and property in my hands. I can go without being discovered for a day or two, but as time goes by, he will not notice it. When the time comes, I’m afraid I might feel resentful.”

"Look at the current situation of the Jin Dynasty. It is troubled internally and externally. Not to mention the external world, the royal family is constantly strife. Isn't it because of the injustice?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "I avoided him not only for the safety of our siblings, but also to maintain the stability of the country. Zhao’s peace.”

Ji Yuan: "Why not take advantage of the filial piety period to get married?"

"Judging from the behavior of Mr. Fu Dalang the night before and yesterday, he is willing to die for the girl. The girl can take this opportunity to get married openly and openly with the dowry," Ji Yuan said: "The dowry and other things have already been sorted out, and everything will be kept simple during the period of filial piety. , it won’t even take three months, the wedding can be done immediately.”

Zhao Hanzhang frowned, "The matter of carrying the coffin back to his hometown..."

"I have heard that Mr. Fu Dalang accompanied the girl to watch the funeral last night, and he served Qi Shuai. Since he is willing to serve such a filial piety for Mr. Fu, he is naturally willing to carry the coffin back to his hometown."

Zhao Hanzhang pondered.

Ji Yuan still believed that it was more logical to get married at this time. All the things Zhao Changyu left for Zhao Hanzhang could take this opportunity to reach the Fu family legally and reasonably and be in the hands of Zhao Hanzhang.

Ji Yuan looked at her with bright eyes.

Zhao Hanzhang is a person who is very good at listening to other people's opinions. "I will go back to Fu Dalangjun to discuss something."

Ji Yuan laughed relaxedly.

Judging from how much Mr. Fu Dalang is interested in their girl, he will definitely agree. It depends on whether the Fu family is willing.

Zhao Hanzhang muttered: "Whether I get married during the filial piety period or not, I will carry the coffin and return to my hometown. Our people can't stay in Luoyang. I would like to ask Mr. Ji to help the people in the west of the city pack their luggage and return to Runan."

Ji Yuan was surprised, "Girl, you want to move all your power to Runan?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded.

Ji Yuan disagreed, "Girl, Luoyang is not only Kyoto. Master Lang has been raising these people in Kyoto because the big house is here. In the future, you and Mr. Fu Dalang will also live in Luoyang. Wouldn't it be a waste of manpower to move the property back to Runan? You don't need them anymore?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Fu Dalangjun and I don't plan to stay in Luoyang for a long time. Let them pack their luggage first."

"this……"

Zhao Hanzhang said seriously: "Sir, Luoyang is a place of disputes and it is not convenient for us to stay for a long time."

Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly.
