Chapter 275: Recruiting a son-in-law
Han Jian didn't bother with the problem of the driver's disappearance, he couldn't take care of it, and now his most important thing was to rush to Yuzhou. At this time, he hadn't figured out what kind of identity he would go to see King Nan, his future son-in-law? Or is it the king of the east? Or the Empress's lobbyist?
The driver disappeared, and the driver became a second pillar. The carriage was not fast, and at dusk in the afternoon, it walked more than 50 miles, and it was estimated that it would arrive in Yuzhou the next morning.
That night, in order to prevent the disappearance of the coachman the day before, Han Jian paid special attention to Erzhu's room at night. But the night was safe, and when he woke up the next day, Erzhu was in good spirits and was about to catch the car, but Han Jian went to the backyard to take a look, but the carriage was gone.
"Shopkeeper, what's going on? Our car can be lost in your yard? Erzhu was irritable and looked for a shop guy to theorize.
The shopkeeper couldn't say why, the courtyard door was closed, and there were walls on all sides behind it, and the huge carriage could be lost, as if it had been carried out of the wall.
Han Jian checked the door lock of the backyard door, there was no sign of being pried, and the door lock did not look like someone had tampered with it. Originally, it was possible for some clever thieves to steal something without leaving a trace, but there were a lot of goods in the backyard, but only their carriage was missing, which can only be said to be targeted.
"The carriage is gone, don't worry." Han Jian said to Erzhu, "Let's rent another one." ”
Erzhu looked a little swoon, the first time he went far away, he actually lost the coachman and carriage on the road, he couldn't figure it out.
When the two arrived in the town, Han Jian touched the money bag. Deng Shi was startled, and the money bag he put close to him was actually empty. He didn't even notice it along the way.
"Brother Han, what's wrong?" Erzhu looked at Han Jian inexplicably.
"Thief." This time, Han Jian also felt guilty, and yesterday he was very careful to prevent someone from being unfavorable to them, but he was on guard for a long time, and he didn't even know that the money was stolen, which was a big shame. Han Jian couldn't figure it out, even a master like Yifa Yi couldn't steal his money bag without knowing it when he was on guard. What's more, this time the money bag is intact. But what was lost was the money in the purse.
"Brother Erzhu, help me find a pawnshop, the money is lost, I'm afraid I have to use something as an emergency."
Erzhu reluctantly nodded. Probably because I felt that the trip was not going well. deliberately wanted to persuade Han Jian to go back. But seeing that Han Jian insisted on going to Yuzhou. didn't say anything more, found a pawnshop with Han Jian, and the two went in together.
Han didn't bring anything of value with him either. The only thing that was still worth a little money was a small piece of jade, the jade was originally attached to the sword, but this time Han Jian took it down, and it was only used as two taels of silver.
After all, they are only twenty or thirty miles away from Yuzhou, and it is enough to rent a car, but it will be a little difficult to make a living in Yuzhou, unless Han Jian can enter the Nanwang Mansion as soon as possible, Han Jian feels that it is also very difficult.
"Take it one step at a time." Han Jian thought to himself that since he had reached this point, there was no way out, if he didn't go to Yuzhou, the return trip would be farther, and he still didn't have a place to go.
Han Jian and Erzhu took a carriage to the outer city of Yuzhou, and when they arrived at the gate of the city, Han Jian got off the carriage and looked at the huge city wall and the people flowing under the city wall, and felt as if they had arrived at the vegetable market. The east gate of Yuzhou City looks very lively, even more lively than the city gate of Luoyang City.
"This is Yuzhou? What a big city? Erzhu looked up at the castle tower and couldn't help but admire.
Han Jian called the coachman over, paid for the car, and asked again how to enter the city. Han Jian's biggest problem when he came out this time was that there was no way out, he was only afraid that there would be trouble when he entered Yuzhou.
"No way?" The coachman smiled and said, "It's not difficult, just spend a few dozen dollars, these days, the person in charge of the city gate doesn't care where you come from, even if the king of the mountain gives you money, you can enter the city." ”
"Thank you." Han Jian said goodbye to the coachman and walked with Erzhu to the East City Gate of Yuzhou.
When he arrived at the city gate, Han Jian said that he had no way to guide him, and the soldiers at the city gate really didn't feel much trouble, but just asked Han Jian to pay fifteen yuan and let him go.
Entering the city, Erzhu looked at everything fresh all the way, while Han Jian was thinking about things while walking through the chaotic crowd. At the moment, they have no place to stay, and it is not very appropriate to go to Nanwangfu rashly, so they can only find a way to settle down first.
"Brother Han, Yuzhou is really a good place." Erzhu turned around, excited, and saw that Han Jian was in a bad mood, so he asked, "Brother Han, you said that you were looking for your wife, so do you know where your wife is now?" ”
"Yes. But he is a wealthy lady, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to go to the door like this. Han Jian said.
"A wealthy family?" Erzhu also looked a little embarrassed, and said, "Then Brother Han and your lady...... What's going on? Could it be...... Private...... Elope? ”
Han Jian said with a smile: "Brother Erzhu, you don't have to worry, I am in love with Neiko, and the two families have been married for a long time, so they can't elope." ”
Erzhu sighed: "That's troublesome, I heard that those wealthy families are the most high-eyed." If Brother Han is embarrassed, simply ...... Don't look for your lady, she's gone, just find a better one! ”
Han Jianxin said that these two pillars are occasionally quite sensible and know how to persuade people. Originally, the relationship between him and Yang Li'er was inexplicable, this time he had to come to the door to propose, although he didn't know who Yang Luochuan was, he also knew that Yang Luochuan would not be so easy to talk to.
"We're going to find a place to stay for a while." Han Jian said, "But our silver is probably not enough for the guest house." ”
"That's okay." Erzhu said with an open-minded face, "In the first few years, I went to the city to be a soldier, no matter where I went, I lived in the wilderness, and it would be best to find a broken temple." In such a big city, there must be a broken temple or something, there is nothing else on the boundary of Yuzhou, and there are many broken temples. ”
Han Jian didn't expect Erzhu to care so much, he was afraid that he would treat Erzhu badly.
The two walked together on the streets of Yuzhou City, and they were also a little aimless, Han Jian originally wanted to go to the post house to see, with his identity, it was not difficult to live in the official post house. But the problem is that he hasn't figured out how to face the people of Nanwangfu yet.
Suddenly, the front was very lively, Erzhu liked to join in the fun, pointed to the noisy place in front and said: "There is a lively look over there!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled Han Jian to squeeze into a crowded place. Originally, Han Jian was not interested in these places with a lot of people, but when he got to the front, he realized that it was the list posted by Nanwangfu. A person with a very loud voice was reading, and when Han Jian heard it, his heart seemed to be blocked by something, and what the list said was that the Southern Wangfu wanted to recruit a son-in-law for Yang Li'er.
"Hey. Brother Han, that is the second miss of the southern prince, in our Yuzhou, the second miss has a high reputation, when I became a soldier, the people in the army are also saying, saying that in the future, only the Wenqu star in the sky can be worthy of the second miss. Erzhu learned that Yang Li'er was going to recruit a son-in-law, and the whole person was fluttering, as if he was happy that Yang Li'er could have a home.
Han Jian's temper was very irritable, Yang Li'er had just returned to Yuzhou, and there was a matter of recruiting a son-in-law, and Yang Luochuan clearly intended to target him.
At this time, the empress left Luoyang, just when the Wei Dynasty was in turmoil, Han Jian expected that Yang Luochuan could also figure out what the marriage between the Southern Wangfu and the Eastern Wangfu would mean, and at this time, Yang Luochuan hurriedly married his daughter, which showed that he had no intention of helping the Empress to recover Luoyang City, but plotting his own grand cause.
Han Jian thought hatefully in his heart, even if you want to be the emperor, you shouldn't marry your daughter off so hastily!
"Brother Han, aren't you looking for a place to live? Let's look outside the city, there should be more broken temples outside the city. Erzhu saw that Han Jian was silent for a long time and said.
Han Jian glanced at Erzhu, thinking to himself that it was not easy to enter the city after spending money, so easy to get out of the city? Wouldn't it cost money to go into the city again?
"Let's not go out of the city first, didn't we say that the second lady of Nanwangfu wants to recruit a son-in-law? Why don't we try it too? Han Jian said.
"Brother Han...... Uh, what do you say? "Erzhu is a little inexplicable.
Han Jian pointed to the list and said: "The announcement said that as long as the people of Yuzhou, regardless of whether they are poor or low, whether they are rich or not, they can participate in the recruitment of sons-in-law, you and I are both men of blood and strength, why not?" ”
Erzhu smiled bitterly: "But Brother Han, don't you still want to find your wife?" ”
Han Jian didn't answer, and continued: "The announcement also said that anyone who responds to the call can be entertained by the Nanwang Mansion, so we just have to go and answer it first and eat and drink a few meals with him." It should also be when we settle down. ”
"That's good." Erzhu nodded with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that." Or is Brother Han thoughtful...... However, if we are really favored by the king of the south, what should we do? I'm a good hand, Brother Han, why don't you go to find a lady? ”
Han Jian said with a smile: "With your and my qualifications, we don't have any background, and we don't have great skills, so King Nan naturally doesn't look down on it, so let's go and experience it." ”
Erzhu nodded, and went to sign up with Han Jian.
This time, the king of Nan recruited a son-in-law, involving a wide range of aspects, and the conditions put forward were only men in the land of Yuzhou, and there was no one to marry, and there were no requirements for origin and background. As for the selection conditions, it is not mentioned in the list article, Han Jian expected that it should be related to talent and martial arts, not only to be the fast son-in-law of the dragon in the Nanwang Mansion, but naturally if it is a dragon and a phoenix among the people, no matter how anxious the Nanwang is to marry his daughter, it is impossible to treat his daughter badly. No matter what Yang Li'er said, she was still helping Nanwang to take charge of himself.
Han Jian and Erzhu went to the Dongcheng Yamen mentioned in the list to sign up, and when they arrived, they learned that the people of Yuzhou were crowded with applicants. Almost every man who is not married wants to be the son-in-law of the South Palace.
"So many people. Brother Han, I think we'd better find a broken temple to live in. Erzhu saw the crowd in front of him, and he was a little discouraged.
"Don't be afraid, isn't there a primary? As long as the primary election is passed, I believe there will not be so many people. Han Jian looked at the outside of the Yamen of Dongcheng, some officials set up checkpoints, and those who signed up step by step in the assessment knew that it was not a simple matter to go in and eat white food.
