Pei Lai walked out with a dignified face, and when he saw Zhao Hanzhang walking beside his son, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran to salute, "The grass people saw the envoy, but they didn't know that the distinguished guests were coming, and they missed the welcome, and they also hoped to make the envoy Haihan."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled: "I happened to pass by here, and I was a little thirsty, so I came in and asked for a glass of water."

Pei Lai hurriedly turned sideways to invite Zhao Hanzhang in, and he secretly gave his son a look and praised him for doing a good job.

Pei Saburo gave his father a smug look.

Many members of the Pei family died in the chaotic battle in the spring of this year, when the family stayed in Luoyang divided into two, and some chose to stay in Luoyang and accompany the emperor to hold on;

Some people choose to run away with the king of the East China Sea,

After encountering Shile, many clansmen were scattered in the chaotic battle, and the most powerful and highest-ranking group of clansmen were all arrested by Shile because they were closest to the frame of the King of the East China Sea and Wang Yan.

In the end, except for some women and children who were ransomed by Zhao Hanzhang, the rest were all ghosts under Shi Le's knife.

Pei Lai and Pei Lun were lucky, because they were not officials in the court, and they did not have a grand reputation, so they were a little far away from the center frame, and they took their families to the wilderness as soon as they got into a mess, and finally escaped the massacre of Shile's army, and were guided out of the encirclement by the Zhao family's army, and then they were forced to move back to Luoyang as a remnant.

Now in the half-day street where they live, there is a house that is his original asset, and the rest is bought from the county government.

They still have some treasures, and after they became some, they bought the rest of the house with the yamen and gathered all the clansmen who returned to Luoyang.

The first is to strengthen the Pei family's power in Luoyang and prevent other families from being bullied; The second is to deal with possible crises in the future.

Luoyang looks thriving now, but they all know that Luoyang has two knives hanging over his head, and no one knows when they will cut it down, so they have to be prepared to flee for their lives.

Although he is ready to flee for his life at any time, if he has the opportunity to stand out here in Zhao Hanzhang, Pei Lai is still very happy.

Although he didn't understand why Zhao Hanzhang came to the Pei family, this was indeed a huge opportunity for the Pei family.

Begging for water or something, it must be Zhao Hanzhang's excuse, but Pei Lai still asked people to get good wine.

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, is he really drinking to quench his thirst?

She didn't sit down, but looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the hall with her hands behind her back, and then stopped in front of a word, turned around and smiled: "I heard Wang Siniang mention that Pei Dun's daughter writes a good hand, and her calligraphy attainments are not under Wang Meizi, I don't know if I have the honor to see it?"

Pei Lai was stunned for a moment and then said, "Naturally."

He hurriedly turned to his son and said, "Go and find your aunt's notebook."

Pei Saburo answered, and after exiting the hall, he ran to the study and turned out the notebook that Pei Yuanjun had written for him before.

Zhao Hanzhang took the notebook, unfolded it, and immediately fixed his gaze.

This pen is atmospheric and tenacious, the pen is restrained, but the roots are strong, and he is obviously a person with a strong heart.

Zhao Hanzhang had a lot in his eyes, closed the notebook at once, and asked, "I don't know where Miss Pei is now?"

Pei Lai was stunned for a moment and then said, "She lives on my cousin's side, and the envoy wants to see her, so I'll let Xiao'er call her."

"No need," Zhao Hanzhang smiled, "I'll go over and invite it myself."

Pei Lai hurriedly went over with her.

Pei Lun was also at home, and he was still a little stunned when he and his wife came out, but unfortunately Zhao Hanzhang was at present, he only had time to look at Pei Lai, and he didn't even say a word, so he led them to a side yard.

It was a very small courtyard, in a very remote place, Pei Lun was worried in his heart, and explained: "She is the only one left in Yuanjun's house, and she doesn't want to live in the same courtyard with others, so she found this pure place for her."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, and did not mean to blame.

On the way from Pei Lai's house, she already knew that Pei Yuanjun's father and eldest brother had died in the chaos, and the rest of the brothers had disappeared and were not in Luoyang.

She is now dependent on the tribe to survive, Zhao Hanzhang is not sure if she has money with her, but she is a woman,

If there is no force and no manpower, you will not be able to keep your money.

At this time, the dependent tribesmen are a better place to go.

The courtyard doors passed by on the road were all open, and there was this small courtyard with the door closed, Zhao Hanzhang stood in front of the door and knocked gently.

There was no movement in the courtyard for the first time, but when she knocked again, she heard someone inside respond in a loud voice, "Who, wait a minute."

Zhao Hanzhang stopped, and after a while, the courtyard door opened, and a woman about the same age as Qinggu poked her head out of it, she was full of verdant, and she combed the woman's hair like Qinggu, but she was wearing a blue-gray linen dress, and there were patches on her elbows, the hand that opened the door was rough, and her fingers were thick.

Sure enough, when the other party saw Pei Lai and Pei Lun standing behind her, he immediately opened the courtyard door and curtsied, "Slave to see Lai Langjun and Lun Langjun."

Pei Lun explained Zhao Hanzhang and said, "This is the envoy, the eldest sister, let her come out to welcome the guests."

The woman was slightly surprised, her eyes quickly glanced at Zhao Hanzhang, and when she saw her standing with a smile, she hurriedly lowered her head and answered "yes", and then quickly entered.

She stayed by Pei Yuanjun's side, basically didn't go out, and for Zhao Hanzhang, she only glanced at Zhao Hanzhang from a distance in the crowd, because she was too far away, and she had long forgotten what she looked like.

But she always remembered the feeling of her spear in her hand and her eyes sweeping over them.

The woman left the courtyard door wide open, ran under the corridor quickly, and said to Pei Yuanjun, who was sewing clothes, "Big girl, the envoy is here."

Pei Yuanjun's needle paused, and then he turned around to look over, and saw Zhao Hanzhang who walked in in the sun and was looking at the yard curiously.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at her and couldn't help but smile. new

After a while, Pei Lai, Pei Lun and the others retreated outside the courtyard, Zhao Hanzhang knelt on the temporarily laid mat, and Pei Yuanjun knelt opposite.

Her maid Wan Gu came up with two bowls of sugar water, knelt on the ground to water the two of them, and then bowed down.

She stood on the other side of Tinghe, and looked at the two people sitting under the tree facing each other with some concern.

Since Wang Rong released his words not to allow Pei Yuanjun to remarry, she has been locked up in the backyard, and there is no possibility of going out.

But after returning to Luoyang, the Pei family was still afraid of the power of the Wang family, and did not dare to say goodbye to Pei Yuanjun, nor did they dare to let her go out.

As Pei Yuanjun's maidservant, Aunt Wan had contact with the two ladies, and wanted the Pei family to send them back to Hedong, and maybe they could say a family affair for Pei Yuanjun in their hometown.

But she was rejected before she started, even if Wang Yan died, now the Wang family is still the first in the family, and his younger brothers, cousins, and clan brothers are all holding important positions everywhere.

And the Wang family is extremely famous, who dares to offend the Wang family and ask to marry Pei Yuanjun?

Aunt Wan really couldn't understand why Zhao Hanzhang came to the door.

Pei Yuanjun didn't understand either

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at the yellow sugar water in the bowl, raised his eyes to look at Pei Yuanjun, and said with a smile: "Hanzhang is here to ask Miss Pei to go out."

Pei Yuanjun frowned: "Go out?"

"That's right," Zhao Hanzhang said, "Miss Pei has been in the backyard for many years, doesn't she want to do things in the front yard, take a look at the scenery outside, and show her talent?"

She said: "I want to hire a girl to be my book supervisor, I need to draft a lot of documents during this time, but I can't handle my handwriting, and Pei girl's handwriting, I have just read it, and my heart is broken."
