"In the early years, Zhao's winter solstice banquet was a drinking banquet before the order, and the Lang lord returned to his hometown to meet the talents of the counties by the way, so that he had a rough number, and later even if the Lang lord did not return to his hometown, because he was a big zhongzheng, the talents of the counties would also come here to participate in the winter solstice banquet."

Zhao Hanzhang was dumbfounded, "It turns out that the winter solstice banquet came out of the election officials. ”

No wonder so many people don't spend the holiday at home, but come all the way to Xiping to attend a banquet.

Her heart moved, "Aren't the guests who came to participate still be the scholars from outside Runan County?" ”

"Yes, but there shouldn't be a lot of them this year," Ji Yuan said: "First, because Lord Lang has passed away, and second, because Yuzhou has only gone through war." ”

But this is enough for Zhao Hanzhang.

Ji Yuan said: "So the girl really doesn't participate in the banquet?" ”

He said: "This opportunity is really rare. ”

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head after thinking about it, "This matter is not in a hurry, I still keep filial piety for my grandfather." ”

Ji Yuan didn't think that the world would think that it was taboo for girls to participate in the banquet, because most of the scholars were debauched, and the etiquette and morality had long been disobeyed, and Zhao Hanzhang would go there, and no one would attack her with filial piety.

Today's scholars, except for a very small number of people, who can really be pure and have few desires and keep filial piety?

Zhao Hanzhang is ambitious to seize Xiping County, so be generous, why not appear above board and seize power?

Zhao Hanzhang has her own plans, she doesn't plan to appear in front of people too early, and now Xiping County is still too weak to withstand the toss.

And if you want to toss less, then you have to pay less attention, and it's best not to think of her except for some people.

Fu Tinghan also thinks so, in the case of insufficient strength, obscene development is always the best policy.

I don't know if Zhao Ming also thought of going with them, and didn't urge Zhao Hanzhang to appear.

She didn't go back to Wubao, but the guests who came asked to see Zhao Hanzhang also said that they would go to the county government to visit by themselves, and did not take the initiative to introduce.

Zhao Ming's attitude gives people a feeling that Xiping Zhao and Zhao Hanzhang are not so close, and they don't seem to be completely together.

Before they could make up their minds, Zhao's winter solstice sacrifice arrived.

Zhao Hanzhang led Zhao Erlang back to Wubao, changed into the dress made by the Wang family for their sisters and brothers, and went to the ancestral hall in a dignified manner.

In the open space in front of the Zhao ancestral hall, only the owners and heads of each house are standing.

Zhao Hanzhang stood in the front row on behalf of Dafang, and Zhao Erlang obediently followed behind his sister.

Not far away stood Zhao Hu and his son, and the five uncles and fathers who presided over the ceremony were still the fifth uncle and his son.

Zhao Ming has been sharing the sacrificial meat for many years, and this year it is still his share.

After praying for the sacrificial text, praying for the ancestors to bless the prosperity of the Zhao family, and after the wind and rain are good next year, Zhao Ming burned the sacrificial text, picked up the knife after the sacrifice and began to divide the sacrificial meat.

The size and order of the meat was based on its status.

When Zhao Changyu was there, the sacrificial meat was naturally distributed to him first, and when he was not there, it had to be distributed to Zhao Zhongyu's father and son first, unfortunately, these two fathers and sons were not there, so they were given to Zhao Song first.

The first batch of people who got the sacrificial meat were all uncles and elders, and no one had any opinions, and it should be Zhao Ming's turn in the second batch.

But Zhao Ming cut off a piece of meat, neither kept it for himself nor gave it to the other brothers, but gave it to Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang stretched out his hand to take it.

Everyone was surprised, and even Zhao Cheng couldn't help but look at the two of them.

Zhao Ming didn't explain anything, and continued to cut off a piece and gave it to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng slightly excused himself and then ......

waited for the father's generation, this is Zhao Hanzhang's generation, and the children brought by each family are only in this generation, and they can only bring the eldest son, some have no children, or no eldest son, so the number is not very large.

Zhao Ming cut off a piece, thought about it and gave it to Zhao Kuan first, and Zhao Erlang was the fifth in this batch.

Zhao Hanzhang thought while eating meat, and said that Zhao Ming was fair, and the sacrificial meat was also very symmetrical, and today, he was really fair.

This person seems to have no selfish intentions, as long as it is for the good of the clan, he can retreat or advance.

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and took a bite of the sacrificial meat, if Zhao Ming was the patriarch of the Zhao clan, he would not allow her to develop her own strength with the help of the power of the family like this.

So it is still good for Zhao Ji to be the patriarch.

The corners of her mouth twitched, she ate the sacrificial meat clean, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands.

After eating the sacrificial meat, the winter solstice sacrifice is over, and everyone can move to the garden to participate in the feast.

Zhao Hu knew that Zhao Hanzhang would not participate, so he deliberately came over to tease, "Sanniang, aren't you and Erlang going?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang grinned at him, "Seventh Uncle Ancestor, Uncle Winter Solstice will rest for two days, and he will return to the county seat to continue teaching the day after tomorrow." ”

Zhao Hu was suddenly angry, but he didn't dare to lose his temper at Zhao Hanzhang.

After Zhao Hanzhang invited Zhao Cheng to the county seat, he took Zhao Zheng with him, and he never returned.

Zhao Hu spent a lot of money and bought a courtyard with the county government, and wanted a family of three to live in the new courtyard and enjoy the joy of family.

Who knew that Zhao Cheng was unwilling to leave Zhao Hanzhang's courtyard, and Zhao Hanzhang resolutely refused to take back the courtyard.

Even if he bought another courtyard in the county seat, he couldn't see his grandson Zhao Zheng, let alone Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Hu, who felt cheated, was angry and wanted to settle accounts with Zhao Hanzhang and asked her to return the borrowed books and papers, but she didn't ask for anything back, and she turned over the account book and said that he still owed some taxes a few years ago.

Will Zhao Hu pay it back?

Of course not!

As a result, she looked for Zhao Cheng's rebel.

Zhao Cheng's prodigal son immediately took someone back to the dock fort to move grain, and he saw him at this time, and then he couldn't see him again.

Although Zhao Hu is not smart, his intuition is very accurate, every time he meets Zhao Hanzhang, it is not good, he vaguely knows in his heart that Zhao Hanzhang is not easy to mess with, but ...... I just can't help but always mess with her.

The main thing is that it's too annoying, and he's been losing.

After blocking Zhao Hu back with words, Zhao Hanzhang led Zhao Erlang to say goodbye to the elders.

Everyone watched her leave, perhaps because the shock was settled, and the Hun army also retreated, and some people began to feel that the power in Zhao Hanzhang's hands was not so terrible and dependable, so they said: "This child is too disrespectful to the old." ”

Zhao Ming said: "Uncle, let's invite, there are still people waiting for the banquet." ”

When the elders heard this, they hurriedly followed Zhao Ming and asked, "Are all the children of the clan called?" ”

"Yes, they should all be waiting in the garden."

The elders said: "This is a banquet for you young people, we can just drink in the side courtyard, you just have to play." ”

They said: "This year is not the year to elect officials, I wonder if the central officials have sent someone down to inquire?" ”

Zhao Ming said: "I didn't invite a new Zhongzheng official. ”

Zhao Hanzhang is too eye-catching now, he doesn't want her to be too eye-catching, so not only did he not invite, but also wrote a special letter to He Tingshi, stating that this year's war and the displacement of people from all over the country have caused bandits to run rampant, and for the safety of the central official, it is better not to come to Zhao's winter solstice banquet.

He said that there were not many people at this year's winter solstice banquet, and not even the gentry in Runan County participated, so it was useless to come.

I don't know if He Tingshi believes it or not, anyway, the Zhongzheng official didn't come.
