Ling County.

The burden of the won has been much lighter lately. Because of the wind and snow and bad weather, his training time during the day was greatly shortened. With nothing to do, the won gradually developed the habit of reading.

In the past, Han Won didn't like to read, and at that time, he couldn't calm down, and always liked to go out and play around. I don't know when it started, Han won's temperament slowly changed, he talked less, thought more, and did things a lot more steadily.

Sometimes even his younger brother Han Xian feels like a different person. But for Han Xian, this kind of won is what his brother should look like.

The study room of the won is spacious and delicate, and the furnishings are exquisite, antique. On the bookcase made of pear blossom wood, all kinds of ancient books are overwhelming. It can be seen that the former owner of the study was a reader.

Although the study had been ransacked by thieves from the West, the thieves were clearly not interested in the books, but rather the playthings on the antique shelves that attracted them more.

Han Won only reads a few books that he likes more regularly. It's either national history, local history, or the art of war. These three types are often placed on the desk of the won. He was not very interested in other books, and he did not have the energy to study them.

…

In the afternoon of this day, after dinner, the won went to the study to meditate as usual. Xiao Song suddenly ran into the room and told him that the county magistrate Zhang Hong had something to discuss with him and was waiting in the front hall.

"Brother Zhang, the weather is so cold, I don't know what to visit?"

As soon as he saw Zhang Hong, Han Yuan took the lead in greetings.

Although Zhang Hong is more than ten years older than Han won, the two are still called brothers on weekdays. Zhang Hong was also happy to call Han Yuan a little brother.

Zhang Hong smiled: "Brother Han, I don't mean anything else, I came to you to ask for a cup of tea." ”

Zhang Hong's words were a joke, and of course Han Won could hear it.

At this time, Lin Miaocha presented the boiled tea soup.

Zhang Hong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised it sincerely: "Good soup, good craftsmanship." Isn't this a lady? ”

When Lin Miao heard this, she couldn't help but blush slightly. Bow your head and retreat silently.

Han Yuan shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang, don't worry about laughing, let's talk about business first." ”

Zhang Hongdao: "Yesterday the county came to the invitation. The county keeper's birthday is approaching. ”

"Lord Gunjo?"

"Well, I forgot to tell you. General Wang has been appointed by the imperial court as the new county guard of Gaoyang. A few days later coincided with his birthday, which can be described as double happiness. ”

Han Yuan said strangely: "In the three hundred years of the National Dynasty, there has never been a warrior as a county guard. If the brigade general is the county guard, then who will be the brigade general? Is it possible to wear two hats? ”

"Naturally not. However, it's pretty much the same. Zhang Hong pretended to be mysterious and said: "Brother Han, do you know who will take over the position of Wang Lujun?" ”

"Who?"

"Wang Darong."

"He? Why him? ”

"Because, he is the son of the king brigade general."

Han Yuan was a little unbelievable all of a sudden, Wang Darong was actually Wang Bingyun's son. For so long, he didn't even know at all.

In Han Yuan's impression, Wang Darong has always been an honest and loyal, even a bit stupid. I can't see any similarities between him and Wang Bingyun at all. Well, now that I think about it, there seems to be a little bit of similarity between the eyebrows and eyes.

"Surprise." Zhang Hong smiled: "Brother, I also know." ”

"Isn't Wang Darong guarding the city in Jia County, and now he is going to be promoted to general, who will guard Jia County?" Han Won asked.

"I heard that it is an old acquaintance of Brother Han, named Hu Erhu."

Han Won's heart was clear.

Hu Erhu is the twin brother of the big tiger, Erhu. Erhu had been serving as the deputy commander under his brother, but now he didn't know what he had done, and he was promoted by Wang Bingyun.

Han Yuan picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, and said to Zhang Hong: "Brother came to me, do you want to discuss what kind of congratulatory gift to prepare for the county guard?" ”

"Exactly." Zhang Hong said: "Ling County is so dilapidated now, what gift should I give to Wang Junshou, it's just sad for me." If it is delivered worse than other counties, I am afraid that the county guard will not be happy. If I had to give away any rare treasures, I really couldn't find them. ”

The won also had a headache. The two discussed for a while, and decided to search all over the county first, to see if there were any gold and jade antiques that the thieves had missed.

…

Wang Bingyun's birthday is approaching.

Here, Han Yuan and Zhang Hong have prepared gifts: a pair of treasure vases inlaid with gold and jade, several ancient paintings, five mink furs, and three boxes of silver ingots. There are also some mountain delicacies that are not common in the city.

Such a gift is simply not on the table for many dignitaries and dignitaries in the Xia Kingdom. But for Han Won and Zhang Hong, this is already the limit.

Because Zhang Hong wanted to stay in the county seat and couldn't come with him, Han Xian asked his younger brother to accompany him to the county. There were also more than 100 officers and soldiers of Lingxian County who were responsible for escorting the gifts.

Han Yuan's carriage and horses left Ling County, drove for a day and night, and arrived in Jia County. The group rested overnight in Jiaxian and continued to set off the next morning.

The county order of Jia County is still Jiangfeng. Unlike the situation in Lingxian County, the relationship between Jiang Feng and Wang Bingyun was extraordinary, so Jiang Feng had to go into the city in person, and Erhu was left in Jiaxian County to guard the city.

In this way, Jiang Feng and Han Won are on the same road.

…

In the early morning, the breeze is slightly cold.

A round of red sun slowly rises from afar, and the mountain peaks, fields, and rivers are everywhere covered in red.

On the carriage, Han Yuan lifted the curtain and looked into the distance, feeling relaxed and happy. The younger brother Han Xian had no intention of enjoying the scenery, but kept fiddling with the stove, hoping to warm it up.

The Han brothers sat in a covered carriage with a charcoal stove in it. In contrast, the rest of Lingxian could only sit in an uncovered carriage, shivering while blowing the cold wind.

Opposite the won is Jiang Feng's carriage and horse. I don't know why, there are two covered carriages on Jiang Feng's side. Did he bring his family?

Han Yuan was puzzled when he suddenly saw the curtain of a carriage be lifted, and a pair of small and delicate hands as small as jade poked out.

Han won't help but widen his eyes.

What caught his eye was a delicate melon seed face:

A pair of peach blossom eyes, half-open and half-closed; Two curved willow leaves and thin eyebrows, the shade is suitable. With a delicate nose, slightly upturned red lips, and the skin that can be broken by blowing, it is as beautiful as a fairy.

She slowly opened her eyes, just in time to see Han Won staring at her, her face was suddenly flushed, and she closed the curtain immediately.

Han Yuan looked at the closed curtain in a daze, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, and his heart was stunned.

He secretly thought: That girl is Jiang Feng's daughter. I don't know if she is Jiang Luoyue or Jiang Luoshuang. Why did she follow her father to the county?

Thinking about it, Han Won forgot about himself for a while.

Han Xian on the side couldn't help but wonder: What did my brother see? Why do you smile at the corners of your mouth for a while, and frown tightly at the next moment.

Han Xian, who was puzzled, poked his head out of the curtain and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything famous after all.
