Chapter IX: Bribery
Han Feng replied, "No, because my sister and I are going back to our hometown." ”
The husband and wife of the Zhai Mansion glanced at each other, they could thank Han Feng and Geng Yue for their work, but if Han Feng moved Geng Yue and their whole family over, then they really didn't need to care: "Since that's the case, then I won't force it to stay." ”
Father Zhai said: "Since you are leaving, it is better to stay in Zhai Mansion for a few days, so that we can also express our gratitude to you." ”
Geng Yue ate a bite of crispy chicken, full of the taste of fried chicken, she spit out a small bone, and only heard Han Feng say: "No need, we still have to go back in a hurry, the New Year is coming soon, and we have to go back for the New Year." ”
"In that case, where is your hometown, we have some carriages in our house, and it is okay to send one of you."
Geng Yue's eyes lit up, thinking that the ancients were really upright, there were not so many crooked eyes, and they said that they wanted to repay, and they really wanted to repay.
So this time she opened her mouth and said for Han Feng: "We are going to Anping, and we just need a carriage, thank you Young Master Zhai, Mrs. Zhai." ”
"You actually want to go to Anping, that's really far enough." Father Zhai took a bite of pork, and then said: "Then you'd better go and come back quickly, I heard that Liguo and Chen Guo are about to fight, and Anping is next to Liguo, I'm afraid it won't be very safe." ”
Han Feng paused, only to hear Father Zhai say again: "Liguo has been paying tribute to our Chen Guo all these years, and Chen Guo wanted to add a little tribute today, but I didn't expect Liguo to agree." ”
He picked up another piece of pork, put the soup in his mouth and chewed: "Liguo is a small coastal country, even if you fight, you should wait a few more years, and now Chen Guo is rich and strong, it is like hitting a stone with an egg." ”
Mrs. Zhai gently touched Father Zhai with her arm and said, "What do you say, you are a businessman, what are you talking about?" The two benefactors ate quickly. ”
Geng Yue nodded, feeling that after today's meal, it would be a little difficult to eat about the same again, she wanted face, so she ate it around and ate a lot quietly.
Because he ate too seriously and paid too much attention to his appearance, he didn't notice Han Feng's changed eyes at all.
The two had a hearty breakfast, and Zhai's father took them to choose a carriage.
Geng Yue chose one with a big heater inside, so that she wouldn't feel cold. Immediately, Mrs. Zhai took out a lot of food, and brocade, and ordered the maid to put it into the carriage, and she said: "When you go out, bring more food and brocade, which can be exchanged for things and eaten and covered." ”
Han Feng looked at Mrs. Zhai and said softly to her, "Thank you." ”
Mrs. Zhai looked at Han Feng's actions, she took half a step back and smiled at Han Feng, she felt that Han Feng didn't feel like a farmer, because the farmer didn't have his temperament.
There are still three months to go before the Chinese New Year, and now even if you have money, you can't find a driver who is willing to go, especially if you go to the city next to Liguo.
It was just before the wartime tensions, and there was no telling when Anping would start fighting, and no one went.
So the two of them had to live in Zhai Mansion for a few days cautiously, because Han Feng can ride a horse, but driving and riding a horse are not the same thing, Geng Yue let alone riding a horse, seeing the horse is all across the fence.
After learning to drive a carriage in Zhai's house for two days, the two embarked on a journey again.
Wei Lin was eating noodles at a stall, and he deliberately took the officers and soldiers to stay in Xuchang for a few days.
Wei Lin guessed: Han Feng and Geng Yue were busy running for their lives, and they would definitely not stay in Xuchang. In the past few days in Xuchang, he basically took the officers and soldiers to the wilderness to investigate, and the officers and soldiers questioned him, but because Wei Lin insisted, even if he was punished, Wei Lin was punished first, so they could only find it in the wilderness.
After the heavy snowfall, the snow in the wilderness did not reach the calves, and every day the pants of the officers and soldiers were frozen like ice lumps, and they returned to the inn tiredly, and after eating and bathing, they had no strength to go out to look for them.
A carriage was gone, and Wei Lin was eating noodles when the carriage suddenly brought up a puff of smoke and dust.
Slapping the chopsticks on the table, he thought to himself: Which carriage in the house, so much ash has all gone into the bowl, I still eat a fart!
Slapped two five-baht coins on the table, he picked up the sword on the side and said to the officers and soldiers on the side: "You wait." ”
Then he mounted his black steed, and with a snort, he went after the carriage.
Geng Yue babbled and pulled the reins of the horse, her strength was really not enough, and the horse thought so too, so when Geng Yue was driving, the horse had the idea of liberating its nature.
It is also possible to freeze to death in winter, so Geng Yue and Han Feng are assigned Geng Yue during the day and Han Feng at night.
Seeing the horse running on the street as if it was about to take off, Geng Yue didn't want to think that it was because of his own ability, so he gritted his teeth and pulled the reins and resolutely did not shout Han Feng.
Han Feng was sleeping, but he was suddenly woken up, and he immediately rushed out of the carriage and reached out to pull the reins.
"You get into the carriage, this horse is running too fast, you risk being thrown out!"
When Geng Yue saw Han Feng coming, her heart suddenly fell to the ground, and then she obediently entered the carriage: "You should be careful." ”
Sure enough, Han Feng took the reins, and the horse gradually ran slower.
When the two arrived at the city gate, Han Feng showed them a look, and an officer and soldier looked inside the carriage, and then gave his partner a look: "Are you husband and wife?" ”
Geng Yue immediately understood when she saw the eyes of the officers and soldiers, and took out five feet of brocade cloth and two catties of grain from the carriage.
Giving the things to the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers took half a step back and said, "What are you doing here?" Bribe us. ”
Geng Yue spoke Shaanxi dialect, and when she heard it, she was a foreigner: "Official, this is something from our hometown, what kind of bribery or not, we are all farming, just to see that you are still guarding the city gate in winter, defending Chen Guo, hard work." You two hold it, this is the biography of our brothers and sisters, you two should check or check, right? ”
Ancient news was not very circulating, so when they heard Geng Yue speaking in a dialect that was not fluent, they didn't hear the problem at all.
Han Feng watched as the two officers and soldiers guarding the door took the things handed by Geng Yue, changed their serious appearance just now, smiled this time, took a cursory look at the biography of the two of them, and then rolled it up to Geng Yue in a good manner.
handed it to Geng Yue and said, "Pay attention to Anping's side, if you hear the news in the middle of the road, come back quickly." ”
"Yes, Anping, thank you official, if you find out that you don't come back to us, Xuchang is good." Geng Yue thanked him and got into the carriage.
The two officers and soldiers said: "No thanks, no thanks, pay attention to safety, you guys go quickly." ”
Han Feng got into the carriage and pulled the reins, feeling that Geng Yue should simply live in officialdom.
