Chapter 67 Gift

Zhao Hanzhang, who entered the house, signaled Tinghe to close the door.

Tinghe glanced at Fu Tinghan and hesitated.

Only then did Zhao Hanzhang react and said to her: "Go and ask Uncle Cheng and Uncle Qianli to come over. I have some instructions."

Tinghe then went down.

Zhao Hanzhang took out his jade pendant, looked at it, and handed it back to him with a smile, "No need for it."

Fu Tinghan took it, "Then what do you want to exchange with them?"

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

Zhao Ju agreed.

Zhao Hanzhang then told Uncle Cheng, "You must have kept the volume of Analects of Confucius that Erlang used to study earlier. Bring it to me."

Uncle Cheng was stunned for a moment and then said hurriedly: "Sanniang, Erlang hasn't started reading this book yet. This is the annotation specially made by Master Lang for Erlang."

"I know, I used it to copy it, not to give it away."

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

They didn't bring many books, most of which Zhao Hanzhang received in the dowry box and Ji Yuan took away.

This volume is annotated by Zhao Changyu. He has always wanted to teach Zhao Erlang himself. Unfortunately, Zhao Erlang is not enlightened. So far, he is still stuck on the first page of "The Thousand Character Essay", so this book has always been Zhao Changyu's. Yu received it.

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

Zhao Hanzhang took out a stack of paper from the box and began to cut it.

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

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and nodded.

The two of them had nothing to do. It was a long night, so it was good to copy books to induce sleepiness.

Two people share a table, open the book, and each person copies a page, very quickly.

This is not the complete "Analects of Confucius". There are three volumes in total. This is the first volume with detailed annotations by Zhao Changyu.

The Analects of Confucius is hard to come by, but the annotations are even rarer, especially the annotations written by Zhao Changyu. Without explaining its meaning, it would be worth ten or a hundred pieces of gold in the world.

And in this village where most people are illiterate, this book is a priceless treasure.

When he came in, Zhao Hanzhang saw the almost bald brush in the side room next to him. Obviously, someone in this family was literate.

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

Zhao Hanzhang put the order in order and placed it on the desk. When he saw Fu Tinghan, who was so sleepy that his eyes were almost closed, he tapped his shoulder and said, "Go and rest."

Fu Tinghan woke up and left little by little.

Zhao Hanzhang lay 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. Neighbors saw their neighbors, tears welled up in their eyes, and they hugged each other. Cry bitterly.

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

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

"Over there," Mr. Jia said, "we only caught up with the army at noon, but there were too many refugees, stretching for several miles. I heard that a brother in your family served in the Forbidden Army, so your family said goodbye to us and went to find relatives. , I met him occasionally in the evening, it should be over there."

Master Jia saw Ji Ping behind him who was tall and strong, and asked doubtfully, "Who are these?"

Mr. Chen hurriedly said: "They are the righteous men I met on the road. Thanks to them for saving my life, otherwise I would never be able to see Brother Jia."

Master Jia looked at him enviously.

Master Chen hurriedly took Ji Ping to find his family.

When Mrs. Chen saw Mr. Chen and his daughter, she was overjoyed and rushed towards her, crying, "Mr. Chen——"

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

Ji Ping:......

After crying, Mr. Chen looked at his dark-faced cousin, wiped away his tears and stepped forward, "Fourth brother, I almost missed you."

Chen Silang waited until he finished crying before asking: "Who saved you?"

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

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

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

"Yes, she is definitely not a thing in the pool. She also saved me. Fourth brother, why not sell her one?"

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

"ah?"

Chen Silang thought deeply: "The news came from Zhongzhang that today Zhao Zhongyu was promoted to Shangshu Ling."

Mr. Chen hurriedly said: "Fourth brother, I think the relationship between the Zhao family's first bedroom and the second bedroom is a little unusual. Why don't we manage the two bedrooms separately?"

Chen Silang heard his bias and asked, "Do you think the Zhao family's first room can turn over and fall on the second room?"

"More friends mean more paths. What's more, regardless of the benefits, she also saved my life and my second mother's life, just to repay..."

Chen Silang understood what he heard, and after thinking for a while he said: "I don't have much food to spare, but I know a few grain merchants who are with the army. They have a lot of them. They follow the army, firstly because they were summoned by the prince, and secondly because they want to I don’t have much to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, and the price they require is not low.”

Mr. Chen immediately went to find Ji Ping. After a while, he brought a box over and opened it to let Chen Silang see the pearl jewelry inside.

When Chen Silang saw the pearls with this appearance, he nodded with satisfaction, "I will prepare them for them tomorrow."

But Mr. Chen begged: "Brother, we can wait, but they can't. In order to cover our departure, Zhao Sanniang and her party were robbed of their luggage and food. If you suffer, we will make a decision tonight." Come on, they can leave early tomorrow morning, and Ji Ping and the others are part of the Zhao family, if they accidentally let Zhao Zhongyu’s people see..."

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

He strode away to connect them.

As the night progressed, the noisy camp gradually became quiet. Zhao Zhongyu walked out of the middle tent tiredly. The guard waiting not far away immediately came up to him, holding a torch to light the way for him, and said in a low voice: "Master Lang, Your Majesty, no, uncle and the others are here."

Zhao Zhongyu became more energetic, quickened his pace, and asked, "Is everyone safe?"

The guard didn't answer.

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

The guard whispered: "Only the uncle and the others, the second lady and the third lady are not among them."

Zhao Zhongyu's face darkened and he stopped, "What do you mean by this? Sanniang and Erlang are not here, so 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 whispered: "It was lost together."
