Wei and Jin Cooks Chapter 1309

Although Zhao Erlang was tall and tall, he grew up slowly mentally and did not want to get married at this time. He counted the disadvantages of getting married to Xie Shi on his fingers, "I have to train soldiers, listen to books, and practice martial arts every day. These will cost three days." For an hour, I have to deal with military affairs, and I have to go there for another two hours, and I have to patrol every other day. If I get married, I have to be like you, sir. I have to go home before sunset every day, and I have to hold the child, look after the child, and teach the child. Otherwise, my wife will quarrel with me like my wife, and I don't want it.”

Without waiting to say thank you, Zhao Erlang added: "The most important thing is that after marrying my wife, I have to spend money to buy her food, clothes and jewelry. The money I earn is not enough!"

Xie Shi had a heart attack and couldn't help but slap him on the head: "Idiot, you don't have enough money, haven't you ever thought that it's because you don't earn enough and don't know how to spend money in moderation?"

"Do you think your wife is marrying you for nothing? With your current status, the wife you marry will not only bring a large dowry, but she will also be very capable," Xie Shi said: "Of course your salary alone is not enough. If your share of land and taxes are handed over to someone who knows how to manage it, the minimum profit should be doubled by 30%. Do you know how much 30% of your land and taxes is?"

 Zhao Erlang shook his head.

"I'm sorry you can't calculate it," Xie Shi said, "I'll calculate it for you. It's about nine hundred thousand dollars."

 Zhao Erlang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Xie Shi said: "But you don't know how to manage, you don't even know how to take care of things. Not only is the money coming in chaotic, but the spending is also chaotic, so you obviously shouldn't be so poor, but you still can't even come up with the money to buy earthen rituals. "

 Zhao Erlang pondered.

Xie Shi warned again: "When you get back, ask your Majesty to marry you and ask her to find you a smart wife."

 He paused and then said: "I will also write to Your Majesty."

 Xie Shi no longer wanted to leave Zhao Erlang.

 Zhao Erlang's character and talent destined him to only guard the border for China and become a fierce general.

And he followed Zhao Erlang. Although he was a deputy, he could take care of the civil affairs of the place, and he was no different from a feudal official. Wouldn't he be made an earl this time?

 during the future may be granted the title of a Marquis, or even a Duke or Duke.

He must have a share of Zhao Erlang's military exploits.

 Now there is still a lot of territory in the world that has not yet been conquered, and the emperor is young, so it is inevitable to expand the territory. Based on the relationship between their siblings, the emperor will definitely use Zhao Erlang.

 Follow him, and one day you can take credit.

 So Xie Shi volunteered to tie up with Zhao Erlang.

Since he is regarded as a real student, he, the teacher, will naturally worry about him.

As soon as Zhao Erlang left, Xie Shi began to think about writing a letter to the emperor, mentioning Zhao Erlang's marriage.

Wang Fuzhi came in with glutinous rice **** and said, "This is what's left from the Lantern Festival last year. Eat it up today."

 Xie Shi silently took the leftover glutinous rice **** and ate them.

Wang Fuzhi cleared the table for him, accidentally glanced at the letters on the case, and said with a pause, "Er Lang wants to get married?"

 Xie Shi nodded, "He is already the king of the county and needs someone to take care of the backyard."

What he mentioned to Zhao Erlang was only the financial benefits after getting married, but in fact the biggest benefit after getting married was political.

 Because of Zhao Erlang's problems, he was almost politically isolated, relying entirely on Zhao Hanzhang and Xie Shi to support him.

 Zhao Hanzhang regarded him as his right-hand man, and he was there to take advantage of resources for him when there was thanks, so no one in the court dared to treat Zhao Erlang badly.

Otherwise, with only military pay and food and grass, if the imperial court decided to let the army be self-sufficient like it did to Chang'an before, not only would this army be in dire straits, but the people of Chang'an would also be in trouble again.

When the former King of Nanyang was still alive, he often sent troops to plunder the people in order to raise his troops. Even after Fu Zhi took over, he had to find ways to raise food and grass from the people, so that he exhausted all his energy and died of serious illness early.

Now that Zhao Hanzhang is the emperor, he certainly does not have so much energy to take care of this side. As time goes by, the officials in the court may not be as cautious as they were at the beginning, so Zhao Erlang needs to maintain this political capital and feelings by himself.

He doesn't have the ability. If he does it rashly, he will do more harm than good. Instead, he will fall into some traps, so he needs a wife, a smart wife.

She can not only take care of the backyard for him, but also maintain the relationship with the emperor, the Zhao family, and the ministers of the court on his behalf.

Of course, Xie Shi is also among them, he is also in the auxiliary position.

Wang Fuzhi said: "Does your husband have a candidate in mind?"

Xie Shi said: "Your Majesty will choose for Erlang."

"That means there is no more," Wang Fuzhi paused and then said, "What do you think of my fifth sister?"

 Xie Shi was a little confused, "Which fifth sister?"

Wang Fuzhi gave him an angry look and said, "Which fifth sister is there? Of course she is the fifth sister in the family, the fifth sister of your third uncle's family."

 Xie Shi trembled, then his eyes brightened slightly, and after a moment he still shook his head, "No, is our Xie family daughter not suitable?"

Wang Fuzhi was puzzled, "Why is it inappropriate?"

"It is enough for the Xie family to support Erlang with me alone. There is no need for another one." The relationship between their master and apprentice is already close enough. It would be better to give this position to other families, so that Erlang can get more help.

Wang Fuzhi raised his head and looked at him, "Does your husband want Erlang to pursue the throne?"

Xie Shi was startled. He dropped his chopsticks and covered her mouth. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How could I have such thoughts?"

Yuan Li doesn't know if he has placed a spy in his house, so he shouldn't get the wrong idea.

Wang Fuzhi pulled away his hand and said, "Since you don't have this intention, why do you want to win over so many forces for Erlang?"

“Naturally, I will **** Erlang to ensure that there will be no worries about food, fodder, reserves and support for future wars.”

Wang Fuzhi: "Your Majesty is Erlang's biggest support, so he only needs a wife who is smart and of high moral character. The more forces that are brought in, the more complicated the situation will be. Naturally, with you as my husband, I can block a lot of things for him." It's okay, but with Erlang's temperament, do you think he can control the family?”

 Xie Shi:…

Wang Fuzhi: "If he can't take care of the backyard, how can you go beyond him and take care of his wife? Zichen, you can't be close to each other."

Xie Shi was silent and began to think seriously about his fifth sister. He just looked uneasy and said, "Fifth sister...it's not good. Are there any unmarried girls of the right age in the clan? My niece is fine too."

Wang Fuzhi said with a half-smile, "Yes, but I think in terms of intelligence and character, no one can be better than the fifth sister."

Xie Shi thought of something and asked, "Why doesn't fifth sister take the examination? With her ability, it will not be difficult for her to pass the examination and become an official."

Wang Fulizhi smiled slightly and sighed: "My aunt didn't allow it, so she gave the third uncle two more concubines. Recently, she is also planning to marry the fifth sister."

 Xie Shi was surprised: "Fifth sister just obeyed?"

Wang Fuzhi said: "Fifth sister has a calm personality and doesn't care about these things."

"She has a calm personality...Okay, let it be what you say." Xie Shi burned the letter on the case and reconsidered writing a letter to Zhao Hanzhang.

“Wait a minute, does Fifth Sister know about the marriage proposal?”

Wang Fuzhi said: "I don't know, I accidentally remembered it when I saw your letter. I think there is no one more suitable for Erlang than the fifth sister." Xie Shi: "...I thank you on Erlang's behalf."

Wang Fuzhi smiled slightly and said gently: "No need to thank you."

 When Xie Shi wrote a letter to Yangxia's fifth sister.

 That's right, when talking about a major event like marriage, he didn't write to his third cousin or his third aunt, but directly to his unmarried cousin.

But Wang Fuzhi didn't think there was any problem, and even added two paragraphs after Xie Shi finished writing.

 Then the letter was sent.

Xin was naturally no faster than Zhao Erlang. As soon as he left Chang'an, he was like a wild horse running wildly towards Luoyang with his twenty personal guards.

As soon as Zhao Hanzhang ascended the throne, the country was basically stable. Zhao Erlang didn't like to bring too many people with him when traveling. If he didn't have to bring Tuyi, he didn't even want to bring twenty personal guards.

Soon, he led ten personal guards to the front, and ten more were behind to **** the car. They ran for a while, but when they saw that they couldn't catch up, they had to give up. They were heartbroken. General, why did you leave him behind again? Us?

Zhao Erlang ran all the way, and it didn't take him two days, but only one and a half days to reach Luoyang.

 He subconsciously ran back to Zhao's house first.

The concierge of Zhao's house was shocked when they saw Zhao Erlang crossing his legs and shouting inside: "Aniang, Aniang—"

 The porter reacted immediately and said quickly: "Erlang, the Queen Mother is not at home, she is in the palace."

Zhao Erlang was stunned, "The Queen Mother? Yes, my mother is the Queen Mother."

 He turned around and left, got on his horse and shouted: "Let's go into the palace!"

The guards responded, and Zhao Cai behind him reminded him, "Mr. Lang, horses are not allowed in the city. We have to slow down."

Although Zhao Erlang was eager to return home, he still abided by the law and silently agreed.

Although he was slowing down his horse, he still arrived at the imperial city quickly.

The guards guarding the imperial city gate recognized him and were very happy, but they still confiscated his sword before letting him in.

 Zhao Erlang rode his horse and led people straight to the palace gate.

The praetorian guard on duty today also recognized him and was equally happy, but still stopped the person and called a praetorian guard to report immediately.

While stopping the person, he also explained to Zhao Erlang, "General, you are coming back suddenly. Foreign officials must report in advance when entering the palace."

Zhao Erlang was not very happy, "My sister and aunt are both in the palace. This palace is my home. Do I have to report to you when I go home?"

The Imperial Guard was dripping with cold sweat and hurriedly explained: "It's not a report with a humble official, but a report with His Majesty."

Zhao Erlang snorted. Although he was very angry, he didn't get angry. He just stood and said harshly, "I'll wait for you for a quarter of an hour. If you don't come and let me in, I'll hit you!"

The guards who went to report the news did not dare to neglect and ran towards the main hall.

Seeing that he was out of breath, Lai Qing was a little unhappy and whispered: "When did you get so panicked? It is forbidden to run in the palace. Are you willing to die?"

This rule is bullshit. Don't you run away when an emergency military report comes?

So this rule is very flexible, and the imperial guard is not afraid of being punished for this matter, so he whispered: "The King of Qin is asking for an audience at the gate of the palace."

He reminded: "Father, Prince Qin was very angry when he was stopped at the gate of the palace."

Lai Qing's eyes widened. He didn't expect Zhao Erlang to come back so soon. The emperor had wanted to send someone to pick him up at the city gate tomorrow.

 Lai Qing quickly entered the palace.

 But at this time, Zhao Hanzhang was discussing matters with the ministers, and was talking about the important part. Everyone's face was serious, and Lai Qing did not dare to come forward.

 Ting He, who was studying the ink for Zhao Hanzhang, raised his head and glanced at him to understand it. He carefully stepped forward and whispered a few words in her ear.

Tinghe turned around and came forward with a teapot to pour tea for Zhao Hanzhang. He whispered: "Your Majesty, Erlang is back and was stopped at the gate of the palace."

 Zhao Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, then said overjoyed, "Go and pick him up."

Tinghe responded with a smile and retreated.

Lai Qing secretly gritted his teeth and was filled with jealousy.

 But he didn't dare. Neither dared to interrupt Zhao Hanzhang's discussion, nor dared to pick up Qin Junwang who might be furious.

As soon as Tinghe came out of the palace, he picked up his clothes and quickly went down the steps, then ran towards the palace entrance.

Before he could reach him, he heard Zhao Erlang's angry and scolding voice. Tinghe ran over panting and called out to Zhao Erlang, who was about to hit someone with his fist, "Erlang!"

Zhao Erlang saw Ting He and immediately stood up with his fists closed, causing Zhao Cai and the others who were pulling him to almost fall back.

Zhao Erlang became well-behaved, but he still felt unspeakably aggrieved, "Sister Tinghe, they won't let me go home to see my sister and my mother-in-law!"

Tinghe hurriedly stepped forward, waved to the imperial guards, pulled Zhao Erlang and said: "They also abide by the rules. You don't have a token, so you can't come in and out at will. Your Majesty thought you would arrive tomorrow, and you still wanted to go to the city gate. Picking you up."

Zhao Erlang said aggrievedly: "I miss my sister and my mother, so I let the horse run faster, but this is not my home. How can I go home without asking for permission from others?"

Ting He smiled and said: "This is not your home, this is where the imperial court works. Your home has to enter through another palace gate. Your Majesty has arranged your palace in Deqing Hall, which is not far from the West Palace Gate."

Zhao Erlang suddenly realized, "I went to the wrong door."

"Yes, this is the main gate of Taiji Hall. Where is Taiji Hall? It is the place where civil and military officials go to court and His Majesty handles government affairs. It is just like a yamen. How can it be a home?" General Tinghe made an order. He patted the card in his hand and said, "But it doesn't matter. With this in the future, you will be able to enter and exit the main palace gate freely."

Zhao Erlang became happy and waved the palace card in front of the guards. When he saw them getting out of the way, he snorted and walked in swaggeringly.

 Tinghe breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to the imperial guards, and quickly led Zhao Erlang to Tai Chi Hall.

Zhao Erlang looked surprised when he walked into Tai Chi Hall, "This place used to be in tatters, but now it's all repaired?"

 He remembered that when he came here to search for things before, the roof was broken and everything inside fell to the ground.

Tinghe said with a smile: "After your Majesty ascended the throne, he often met here and handled government affairs. Naturally, he had to clean up."

Zhao Hanzhang had already suspended the discussion. As soon as Tinghe led Zhao Erlang in, she just stopped talking. The two siblings were a little excited when they saw each other.

 Zhao Erlang ran forward and said, "Sister!"

Zhao Ming couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his eye when he saw him passing them and running to the dragon case.

Zhao Hanzhang also looked excited. He stood up and compared their heights, then patted his shoulders vigorously and said, "Good boy, you have grown taller again!"

 I'll make an update tomorrow, see you tomorrow
