Chapter 182. Buyers sell firewood

Ji Huang said goodbye and returned to his hometown to recuperate, Liu Che was surprised when he heard the news, but thinking that Ji Huang's upright personality and never saving face for people he was not used to seeing would cause this result, he tentatively asked Zhang Jiayang: "What does Zhang Aiqing think of Ji Huang?"

"Loyal to the king and love the people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What a loyal monarch who loves the people, now I have ordered him to ignore the call of the Xiangyang County Order, and return to his hometown alone, did I do something wrong?"

"Your Majesty is too worried, the minister thinks that the seven generations of the Jidian family, he must feel that this official is too small, and it is not enough for him to take office. ”

"Oh, it is. ”

"Your Majesty, when the minister accompanied Ji Huang to Hanoi for disaster relief, he knew a little about Ji Dian, and his heart of loyalty and love for the people was engraved in his bones. ”

"Understood, okay, then I will call him back to be a middle doctor. ”

"Your Majesty. ”

Ji Di returned to Chang'an to take up the post of middle doctor, as always, as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Jiayang asked Liu Che for leave one day and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been back to Chang'an for more than half a year, and I always miss my brother Xiao Zhuge , and I had no choice but to leave him in Yecheng, the capital of Minyue half a year ago, I want to go over to find him, cure his illness, and then send him back to the ancient city, otherwise the minister is sorry for Xiao Zhuge 's parents,"

"Aiqing is willing to risk being captured or killed to find Xiao Zhuge , I admire it very much, but don't forget, I need you more here, if Aiqing has made up her mind, see what I need to do to help Aiqing to help, you don't need to choose some strong martial arts people in the period gate and Jianzhang Erlang to go with you, and there will be a helper wherever you go." ”

"Your Majesty, it is enough for the minister to go by himself, there are many people and the goal is big, but it is easy to cause inconvenience. ”

"Well, I'll give you a scepter to use on your journey. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Jiayang got Liu Che's permission, and simply handed over the matter of the training period to Wei Qing, and then couldn't wait to set off, Wei Qing sent Zhang Jiayang out of the gate of Chang'an City and said: "Master is here, please take care of yourself, I hope that Master can bring Uncle back smoothly, if there is anything that needs Wei Qing's assistance, please send someone to tell Wei Qing, even if Wei Qing is full of liver and brain, he will not hesitate." ”

"Okay, apprentice, go back, the master will have nothing to worry about after he is busy with this matter, and he can come to Chang'an again to assist His Majesty in serving the country with the apprentice. ”

"Take care, Master. ”

"Take care. ”

The master and apprentice said goodbye until Zhang Jiayang's back disappeared at the end of the road, and Wei Qing returned to the city.

In a small mountain village in Huiji County, there is a person who looks like a white scholar with a sickle in his hand, an axe pinned to his waist, and he has chopped a handful of firewood and tender grass. ”

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I won't be hungry for you tonight. The scholar-like man sang after speaking, "The bluegrass is naturally fragrant and born on the side of the avenue." To sickle August and September, all in the bundle of salaries......"

"What kind of broken song are you singing, stop singing, it's annoying me. The young woman in the back heard the singing of the white scholar and became more and more annoyed.

The scholar turned around and explained: "The fragrant orchid does not grow in the quiet canyon but grows beside the road, and now we will cut it off like a weed, and who will recognize it trapped in this bundle of firewood, alasβ€”I will not always be like this orchid." The orchid grass is naturally fragrant, born on the side of the avenue......" and still sang after a long sigh.

The young woman was very dissatisfied when she saw that he was just taking care of himself and continuing to sing, and she didn't know what her explanation to him meant, so she said with wide eyes: "Hey, what a waste, what kind of orchid, you write a letter of resignation and leave me, I don't want to live this hopeless life again." ”

This white-faced scholar smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I am destined to be prosperous and rich when I am fifty years old, you see that I am in my forties today, you have suffered with me for most of your life, and when I am rich and noble to repay you for your hard work in taking care of me, don't worry." ”

When the young woman heard this, she sneered more and more angrily: "Hahaha, it's really an elm head, just like you are so stupid, it is estimated that you will starve to death in the ditch and you can't wait for wealth, I won't play with you, let me go, okay?" After speaking, the young woman squeezed out two lines of tears.

"Is it true that you can't wait for a few years, alas-" The white-faced scholar sighed, helplessly picked up a piece of wooden stick from the side of the road, carved a letter of resignation on the wooden stick with a sickle, and handed it to the young woman, "It is better for you to find a good family to remarry, and repay you for taking care of me for half my life as if I was rich." ”

"Hehe, it's good that you can live normally, so let's do it myself. The young woman said and disappeared down the winding mountain road.

The white-faced scholar sat down and rested for a while, then wiped the sweat on his forehead with the placket of his clothes, then picked up the burden and sang a song and walked towards the market where firewood was sold.

"Five taels. The white-faced scholar replied.

"Three or two lines, I'll take three taels of money. ”

"Okay, three or two will be three or two, you pick it up, auntie. ”

The white-faced scholar looked at the back of the old lady who picked up Chai He, shook the three taels of copper coins in his hand, and said to himself helplessly: "Oh, I can't make up enough for dinner." ”

The other firewood sellers next to him all cast contemptuous glances, and one of them said: "This kid always comes to disturb the market price, and he sells at such a low price, he really owes a beating." ”

Another said, "Do you dare to go over and beat him?"

"As long as you dare, I dare. ”

"Okay, let's beat him up and make him remember it for a long time, don't always come here and disrupt the market. ”

Saying that, the two of them handed over the firewood in their hands to the firewood seller next to them to take care of, and quietly followed, the white-faced scholar slowly walked to a small mountain village not far away, and suddenly turned into an alley, and the two boys hurriedly followed. ”

"It's you who fights, remember not to sell firewood at a low price in the future. "Kicking and punching as he spoke.

"Stop, what are you doing!" suddenly a person appeared at the mouth of the alley.

As soon as the two boys who beat people heard someone shouting, they stopped in a hurry and said, "Ouch, it's not good, it's been discovered, let's run." ”

The two boys disappeared from the other end of the alley, and the white-faced scholar got up and saw the one at the mouth of the alley, so he arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your help." ”

"Hahaha, you're welcome, you should help when you see that the road is uneven, why did they beat you?"

"Hehe, it's a little thing, I think the price of selling firewood is too low, and it disturbs the price of the market, may I ask my name?"

"Don't let your surname be Zhang Mingjiayang. It turned out that Zhang Jiayang happened to pass by here, glanced at the white-faced scholar and said, "It seems that you have also read books, can you report your name?"

"Good eyesight, under the surname Zhu Mingmaichen, can Brother Zhang have time to drink a bowl of water in the cold house to repay the kindness of help. ”
