Chapter Seventy-Six: Compensate My Master Han
The bulky ox cart was wearing the bustling streets of Tokyo City, and an old servant and a young man were driving in front of the car, and the two teenagers sat at the back of the car and stared blankly at the pedestrians coming and going, but they didn't speak, and they didn't know what the two were thinking.
I don't know how long it took, but finally the ox cart finally crossed the city of Tokyo and came to the Wangchun Gate in the east city, when one of the teenagers finally spoke: "Li Zhang, I'm leaving, you have to take care of yourself in the capital!" ”
"Brother Han, I don't know when you will come back, it is estimated that when you return to Chang'an again, it will be when you become famous all over the world!" Li Zhang also said quite heavily at this time.
Li Zhang originally thought that Anyang was not far away, Han Qi would take care of his mother after he went back, and he might come back in the future, but Han Qi said that his mother's condition was very serious, and he was afraid that he would not recover in a short time, and although he liked the prosperity of Kaifeng, he felt that this was not a place to study, so he also planned to go back to his hometown to study for a few years with peace of mind, so as to prepare for the imperial examination in the future.
"I believe that with your good words, but I believe that with your talents, you will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, maybe before I am lifted, you will already be a man of the year in Tokyo!" Han Qi also patted Li Zhang's shoulder with feeling at this time.
He knew a lot of people in Tokyo City, and many of them became his friends, but Li Zhang was different from ordinary friends, and even Han Qi felt that the other party could be called his confidant, no matter what he said, he could understand it as quickly as possible, and put forward his own opinions, and even put forward some different views, which benefited Han Qi a lot.
"Of course, it may not be long before you hear my name being sung!" Li Zhang was also confident at the moment, in fact, he was also hinting to Han Qi that when his identity was made public in the future, it would be better for him to be mentally prepared in advance.
"Hehe, you two are not very old, but your tone is not small, don't think about anything about the marquis now, study seriously for a few years, and then be admitted to the imperial examination is the right way!" At this moment, Han Xuan, who was sitting in front, finally couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between Li Zhang and the two, not that he was rude, but that Li Zhang and Han Qi's tone was too big, and they were even suspected of praising each other.
"Second brother, the imperial examination is only suitable for people like me, but it is not suitable for Li Zhang, I have only recently figured out this truth, and I believe that even if I don't participate in the imperial examination, with Li Zhang's ability, I will definitely be able to go out in the future!" Han Qi defended Li Zhang at this time.
"County Lieutenant Han, your Han family hasn't had a prime minister yet, right?" Li Zhang also asked Han Xuan with a smile at this time.
"No, you don't want to say that the sixth brother will be the prime minister in the future, right?" Han Xuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard Li Zhang's words, although Han Qi is known as a prodigy, but the prodigy in the world is not the only one who stops him, and as far as he knows, although the prodigy behaves differently from ordinary people, he has not heard of a prodigy who can be the prime minister.
"Yes, I have also learned a little bit of the art of matchmaking, I dare to assert that in the future, Han Qi will definitely be one of the ministers in the court, and from him onwards, the Han family will also become the top official family of the Great Song Dynasty!" Li Zhang said with a smile at this time, what he said was originally something that happened in history, so he was naturally full of confidence.
"Haha~, if it's really as you said, then our Han family will be developed!" Han Xuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard Li Zhang's words, but looking at his expression, he shouldn't have believed Li Zhang's words very much, and even thought it was just a joke.
Seeing that Han Xuan didn't believe it, Li Zhang didn't explain it again, but Han Qi looked confident, he didn't think that Li Zhang was touting himself, in fact, he had always made it his life goal to worship the marquis, and he was confident enough to achieve this goal.
At this time, the ox cart had already left the city, and Li Zhang couldn't send it any further, so he got off the ox cart, and then told Han Qi a few words to be careful on the road, and Han Xuan also told him for a while, Han Xuan had an official position, so this time he could only let the old servant who drove the ox cart send Han Qi back.
In the end, it was not early, so Han Qi said goodbye to Li Zhang and Han Xuan, and then got on the ox cart and slowly disappeared at the end of the horizon, and Li Zhang and Han Xuan also kept waving their hands until they couldn't see the trace of the ox cart, and then turned back to the city with a disappointed face.
Because of Han Qi's departure, Li Zhang and Han Xuan were not in a very good mood, so the two of them were also very silent on the way back, until they finally entered the city gate, Han Xuan suddenly asked: "By the way, Li Zhang, you should know Lu Bantou very well, right?" ”
"Huh? Why did the county lieutenant ask? Li Zhang was also stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand why he suddenly asked Lu Wu.
"This ......" I saw that the county lieutenant Han hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that during this time I found that I often can't find people with Lu Bantou, and a few days ago the county order scolded Lu Bantou because of this matter, but the day before yesterday, he suddenly changed his attitude, and even stammered a little to Lu Bantou, and the entire county government also felt very strange about this, and even secretly rumored that Lu Bantou had a deep background." ”
When the county lieutenant Han said in the end, his face also showed a little worried, because when he first took office, he even wanted to take Lu Wu to establish power, but fortunately Li Zhang's appearance did not let him succeed, and out of appreciation for Li Zhang, his relationship with Lu Wu eased a lot later, but now everyone says that Lu Wu has a deep background, and he is also a little worried that Lu Wu will hold a grudge, in case of revenge against him, he, a small county lieutenant, will not be able to bear it.
"So that's the case, but don't worry, Captain Han, I understand Uncle Wu's temper, he is by no means the kind of person with a small belly, even if you have had some unpleasant things before, but that is also a matter of the past, he will definitely not take such a trivial matter to heart!" Li Zhang explained with a smile.
Don't think about it, Li Zhang also knows that Lu Wu should be worrying about their Li family's affairs during this time, and even preparing something in secret, so there will be less time to go to the yamen, although Li Zhang doesn't know what the relationship between Lu Wu and Liu E is, but as long as he is willing to use a little energy, it is enough to overturn the small county government.
"I'm relieved to have your words!" Hearing Li Zhang's words, Lieutenant Han finally nodded and said, he also understands Lu Wu's personality, and he and Lu Wu have no essential contradictions, so Lu Wu can't afford to get along with himself because of a little thing at the beginning.
Sent Han Qi away, Li Zhang also had a matter of concern, and now he was at ease to take care of the business of the two stores, during which Jin Shan had come several times, and he also quietly tried it, and found that Jin Shan's progress was amazing, and he was about to find out Han Qi's identity, fortunately, now that Han Qi has left Tokyo City, there is no need to worry about Jin Shan going to him.
"You compensate my Han Gongzi!" Early in the morning, as soon as Li Zhang's breakfast shop opened, Jin Xiaomei came to the door angrily to ask about the crime, but this time she learned smartly, and she actually knew to pull Li Zhang to the backyard and lose her temper again, so as not to be laughed at by pedestrians on the street.
"When was Han Qi yours?" Li Zhang deliberately made a stunned expression at this time and asked rhetorically.
"He is mine, and I have inquired clearly, someone saw you and Han Gongzi go out of the city together a few days ago, and said, where did you hide Han Gongzi?" Jin Xiaomei grabbed Li Zhang's clothes at this time and asked with an extremely excited expression.
"The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, and the woman is the same, and Han Qi is not hidden by me, he went out of the city by himself because of something, I just saw him off that day." Li Zhang raised his hands at the moment and said, after all, men and women can't kiss, but Jin Xiaomei's strength is really great, grabbing his clothes and lifting him up.
"Han Gongzi has something to do to go out of the city? Do you know where he went? Jin Xiaomei was also stunned when she heard Li Zhang's words, and then asked impatiently.
"Shouldn't I put someone down before asking them questions?" Li Zhang pointed to his toes at this time, he now relied on his feet to support his body. Speaking of which, Jin Shan and Mrs. Jin are both amiable and wealthy, and they look like a city government, but Jin Xiaomei dares to love and hate, and I don't know who she looks like?
Jin Xiaomei also knew that she had done a little too much at this time, and then put Li Zhang down with a red face and said again: "I'm sorry, I'm a little anxious, but can you tell me where Han Gongzi went?" ”
Looking at Jin Xiaomei's appearance, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh secretly, although Jin Xiaomei was a little fatter and a little short-tempered, but in fact, she was also a sensible and good girl, but it was a pity that Han Qi didn't like her at all, and she didn't even say anything related to Jin Xiaomei before leaving, which shows that he didn't take the other party to heart at all.
"His mother was seriously ill, so he went back to his hometown Xiangzhou to serve his mother." Li Zhang immediately straightened his clothes and replied.
As soon as Li Zhang's words fell, he saw Jin Xiaomei turn around and run, which made Li Zhang also startled, and immediately shouted: "Why are you going?" ”
"Go to Xiangzhou!" Jin Xiaomei replied without looking back, and when she spoke, she had already rushed out of the breakfast shop.
Looking at the back of Jin Xiaomei's departure, Li Zhang couldn't help sighing, just thinking of a few verses such as "Falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, flowing water ruthlessly loves falling flowers" and other poems to improve his style, but he didn't expect Jin Xiaomei to run back again, and then picked up a few baskets of steamed buns and shouted while running: "Record my brother's account!" ”
Seeing that Jin Xiaomei didn't forget to eat at this time, this made Li Zhang also feel a little crying and laughing, but he didn't believe that Jin Xiaomei could go to Xiangzhou, and it was impossible to even get out of Tokyo City, because as far as he knew, Jin Shan had been sending people to follow Jin Xiaomei during this time, in order to investigate who the person Jin Xiaomei liked was, and with these people, it was estimated that Jin Xiaomei would be stopped as soon as she arrived at the city gate.
However, just after Jin Xiaomei left, Li Zhang suddenly found that there was something strange in the store today, usually the morning is the busiest time in the store, but today the store is sparsely populated, and even after the guests left after eating, there were no new customers coming in.
This made Li Zhang even more strange, and was about to go out to check, but he didn't expect that a guest would suddenly come in at this time, and when he saw the other party, Li Zhang was also frightened and trembled, and after a while, he reacted, and immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Mrs. Liu, why are you here?" ”
