Chapter 53: A Car on One Wheel

When he walked out of Zhao Li's mansion, Zhao Kuo had already begun to panic, if Zhao Kuo hadn't stopped him, he was afraid that Zhao Li would have already picked up a hoe to grow vegetables. Zhao Kuo originally thought that this would be the most difficult thing to complete, after all, it was a thankless task to help the people, and he had done good deeds, but he was easy to be suspicious, not to mention letting these people who were usually high up in the courtyard grow vegetables in the courtyard like civilians, and even more serious people might take this matter as an insult to Zhao Kuo to himself.

But Zhao Kuo didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, and it was really as Zhao Li said, when Zhao Kuo returned to Mafu Township in the evening, he had already seen a lot of cars and horses parked on the road, distributing corn to those poor people on the road, and even distributing meat, Zhao Kuo was stunned for a while, hurriedly let Ge stop, and walked to the side of the road.

"May I ask the second and third sons, what are you doing here?" , Zhao Kuo stepped forward and asked.

Seeing Zhao Kuo, although those people didn't recognize him, they didn't dare to be as presumptuous as they did with civilians, so they hurriedly put away their whips and said with some pride: "You may not know it, my head of the family is a friend of Ma Fuzi, Ma Fuzi is probably the most benevolent person in Zhao Kingdom, he asked friends from all over Zhao Country to help him and relieve the people, my head of the family heard about this, and was about to take out all the food to help the people!" ”

"Who is the head of your family?"

"The head of my family is Feng Qu'e, the lieutenant of Handan County."

"Sage, Feng Qu'e!" , Zhao Kuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion, those retainers were speechless happily, such praise is already a very high standard, although I don't know who this noble person is, but they still warmly invite Zhao Kuo to meet their family master, Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "I have something very important now, please tell your family master, I will definitely take time to visit him and thank him." ”

The retainers looked at each other before they nodded.

The carriage continued to drive towards the horse clothes, and Ge was still smirking, turning back from time to time and asking, "Shaojun, is that person really Xunzi?" ”

"Alas, you've asked more than a dozen times, and he's Xunzi."

"Hey, Xunzi is a sage of Zhao State, I shouldn't scold him, but he is indeed rude to you, as a minister, how can you endure such behavior? But he seems to be more delving into etiquette? Am I wrong? Ge muttered to himself nervously, Zhao Kuo ignored him, he could probably understand Ge's feelings, as if a person was spraying with a person in an agricultural forum, and finally knew that the other party was Grandpa Yuan, what a complicated emotion.

The closer he got to Mafu, the happier Zhao Kuo was in his heart, he missed his home very much, missed his mother, when the carriage came to Mafu Township, he saw a familiar figure, the prison door Zhao died, he seemed to be surprised to die, and then there was great joy, it seems that he has hidden his painful emotions, "Mafuzi!" He shouted, and the little officials who followed him were startled by him.

"Long time no see, are you okay?" , Zhao Kuo asked with a smile.

"Don't be harm...", he seemed to have a lot of things to say to Zhao Kuo in his heart, but he couldn't say it, and after holding back for a moment, he said: "I was ordered by you to guard the gate, and these days, all suspicious people have been arrested by me and sent to the county...."

"Okay!" , Zhao Kuo said again: "With you here, I can rest assured wherever I am." ”

Zhao Qudan nodded cautiously and said, "You can." Zhao Kuo drove into Mafu Township, Zhao went to see him leave, and the little official on the side said angrily: "Why don't you tell Mafuzi about the insults you have suffered these days?" Just because of your obstruction, they insult you and beat you, such a thing, if Ma Fuzi knows about it, they will definitely avenge you. ”

Zhao Qu Death shook his head, "Ma Fuzi is busy with the affairs of the country, how can I disturb him because of this matter?" ”

"Ugh..."

The doormen learned the news of Zhao Kuo's return, they came to greet and visit, everyone looked at Zhao Kuo respectfully, talking about Zhao Kuo's righteous act of borrowing grain, talking about the Qin people's fear of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo met them one by one, asked about the situation in the township, entered the courtyard, and never saw Zhao's mother come out, only a retainer whispered in Zhao Kuo's ear: "The master mother asked you to meet the doorman first, and then go to see her later." ”

Zhao Kuo understood in his heart, so he talked with these doormen, who have been following Zhao Kuo's instructions these days, helping a lot of people, and at the same time taking turns to visit Le Yi, what Zhao Kuo didn't expect was that General Le Yi actually talked to them about the art of war, and now these people can say some opinions and strategies about war, which also makes them rush to meet General Le Yi, and do not regard this matter as a chore.

When the guests dispersed, Zhao Kuo hurriedly walked into the inner room, Zhao's mother was waiting for him, the moment she saw Zhao Kuo, Zhao's mother trembled, and she was about to cry, Zhao Kuo had never left for such a long time, Zhao Kuo sat in front of her, "Yan Jun, Kuo is back." Mother Zhao held back her tears, stretched out her hand, and stroked Zhao Kuo's face, "I have heard everything you did, and you did it right." ”

"That's nature." , Zhao Kuo grinned and said with a smile.

Mother Zhao stretched out her head and knocked on his head, and then said: "Don't be complacent because of some false fame, you enjoy the favor of the king, the respect of the people, things like this, you should do it, you know?" Zhao Kuo nodded, and did not refute, Zhao's mother said with a smile: "I have already asked people to save some peaches, I asked them to send some..."

Zhao Kuo lowered his head and said with some grievances: "I originally brought dates to you, but I saw children waiting for my father along the road, and I gave them the dates, so I came to see you empty-handed." ”

"As long as you can come back safely, I don't care about that...", Zhao's mother seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "When your father was still very poor, every time he went out, he would always bring me dates, and I chewed dates when I worked, and I was not tired of doing anything, and then the family was rich, and you liked to eat peaches very much, so he planted thirteen jujube trees and twenty peach trees on Mafu Mountain, but unfortunately, he only lived less than half..."

Seeing that his mother was a little sad, Zhao Kuo hurriedly said: "It seems that my father still loves me more, and he grows a lot of peaches." Only then did Zhao's mother laugh and accuse: "How can anyone say such a thing for the Son of Man?" “

........

The next day, as soon as Zhao Kuo opened his eyes, he called many of his customers, and everyone gathered together, Zhao Kuo asked seriously: "I want to know, do the second and third sons know the craftsmen who can make carriages?" I need a skilled craftsman to help me. When the doormen heard this, they all scratched their heads, where did they know any craftsmen, and everyone talked about it.

"Isn't there a craftsman named Ling in Handan? I've heard his name. ”

"He went to the party the previous year, and no one knows if he is still alive."

While everyone was talking, Ge suddenly got up and said: "I know a craftsman, called Du, he is a horse service man, his craftsmanship is very good, as long as Shaojun does not let him make a wheeled car, he can build the rest." ”

Zhao Kuo smiled awkwardly and said, "Please bring him to me, I need his help with something." ”

Ge nodded, got up and left, and it didn't take long for Ge to lead a strong man and bring him in, Zhao Kuo was a little surprised, the relationship between this craftsman and Ge was so close? The strong man was very burly, probably taller than Zhao Kuo, but he was sloppy, he entered the courtyard, squinted his eyes, looked around, Ge approached him, and shouted loudly: "Ma Fuzi is opposite you!" ”

The strong man hurriedly saluted in the direction of Zhao Kuo, for some reason, his words were also a little strange, and the sound of the urn was angry, not at all like a local in Mafu.

Ge walked to Zhao Kuo's side and said in a low voice: "This Du, he was born unable to see clearly, and it is difficult to hear other people's words... However, although he is disabled, everyone respects him very much in Mafu, he is a good man, he often helps the villagers by handicraft, and he refuses to ask for compensation, and later raised six orphans...", Ge introduced to Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo suddenly realized.

This craftsman named Du was born with a disability, and he was born with weak eyesight and hearing, but he was a very good person, although he was tall, he could be honest and kind, and he never had an argument with others, even if he was bullied, he would not get angry. This strong man looked very restrained in front of Zhao Kuo, he shrank back, as if he was afraid of something, Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Please don't worry, I just want to ask you about the carriage." ”

Du was motionless and looked at Zhao Kuo blankly, Zhao Kuo reacted at this time, walked to his side, and shouted at him: "Please don't worry!! I just want to ask you something about the carriage!! ”

When Du heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "Please command." ”

Zhao Kuo looked at the people around him, and shouted helplessly: "I don't know if you can build a car with wheels!" It's just being pushed away!! I can pass through the mountain road easily! ”

Du was stunned, he looked at Zhao Kuo with some suspicion, wondering if he had heard it wrong, a car with one wheel?

And many of the surrounding doormen were dumbfounded at the moment, looking at Zhao Kuo blankly, Ge slapped him the forehead. Covered his face.
