There was a lot of news that Zhao Hanzhang was leaving, but because she did not notify him in advance, people from Yushantang who went to the city to sell bean sprouts heard about it and rushed back to Yushantang. Only then did everyone in Yushantang know that Zhao Hanzhang was leaving.
"Your Majesty is leaving. I don't have much to offer. I have nothing to give. I can only see you off for a ride. I want to see the girl off. Which of you will go with me?"
"I go!"
"I am coming too!"
By the time Pingxun received the news and arrived, many people had gathered in Yushantang, and even those who were working in the fields had returned.
He was a little anxious, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and asked: "What are you doing?"
"We are going to see the envoy off!"
"Yes, go and see the envoy off!"
Ping Xun: "Oh, the girl doesn't go out from the city gate here. Look at what time it is. Even if they didn't talk to each other for a long time, the envoy would have left long ago by the time we arrived."
A half-year-old boy immediately said loudly: "I know there is a short road that can quickly get to the East City Gate. Halfway up the hillside, you will find the ten-mile long pavilion in the east suburbs. Once you leave the East City Gate, you will definitely pass there. We are on foot.
Hurry up and you can still catch up with the envoy."
Pingxun: "Zhao Yi, are you sure? How could there be such a small road? How could I not know about it?"
"I'm sure that when we went up the mountain to collect firewood, we passed through that mountain. At the foot of the mountain is the Shili Changting Pavilion in the eastern suburbs. We followed that road back to the East City Gate. We must be right."
When Pingxun heard this, he saw them all looking at him eagerly. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed, "That's all, let's go give the girl a ride."
Everyone cheered and immediately ran out together with the young and old.
Yushantang is located outside the city, some distance from the city gate. If you run along the path Zhao Yi mentioned, you will see two low hills connected together.
Many trees were cut down on the mountain, and there were also paths they had trampled during this period. Everyone ran up the mountain along the path, then crossed to the opposite mountain, reached the top of the mountain, and were running down. Halfway up the mountain, someone immediately pointed out
He went down to the official road and shouted, "It's the envoy!"
Everyone immediately lowered their heads to look, and saw a group of soldiers and horses approaching on the official road not far away. Among them were people carrying flags with the familiar character "Zhao" on them, and the leader was Zhao Hanzhang.
Immediately, someone knelt on the ground with a thump and shouted at Zhao Hanzhang, who had already arrived at the foot of the mountain, "Zhao Zhong of Yushantang is sending you envoy. I wish you a safe journey and good health!"
Pingxun, who was running out of breath, finally realized what he was doing. He hurriedly stepped forward and took the lead to kneel down where he could see him at the bottom of the mountain. "Pingxun of Yushantang led everyone in Yushantang to bid farewell to the envoy. I wish you peace and success!"
"
Everyone knelt down and shouted, "May you be safe and well!"
Zhao Hanzhang heard the shouts on the mountain when she passed the ten-mile pavilion. She slowed down her horse, but did not stop. She just raised her head and glanced at the mountain, and saw many people kneeling densely on the somewhat sparse mountainside.
Bow down in her direction.
Zhao Hanzhang raised his hand and waved to them, kicked the horse in the belly and led the people across the mountain.
The people on the mountain knelt for a long time, and when all the sound of horse hooves faded away, they stood up and looked at the disappearing soldiers and horses together. Zhao Yi had tears in his eyes, "I wonder if we can see the envoy again in the future?"
Ping Xun reached out and patted the young man on the head, "You study hard and learn your skills well. When you grow up, you can serve the envoy. You will definitely have the opportunity to meet the envoy."
Zhao Yi nodded fiercely.
An old man next to him said with red eyes: "Ping Jishi, I also want to follow the girl's surname. I have decided that I will name her Zhao Zhong!"
Ping Xun: "... Mr. Gan, don't be joking. The reason why the children are named Zhao is because most of them don't remember their surnames and don't have names. You are already this old..."
"What's wrong with being old? Isn't it too old to follow a girl?" He said: "Look at Zhao Yi, he is eleven years old, how can he not know who his surname is? He can follow the girl's surname of Zhao,
Why can’t I?”
"My last name is Zhao!"
"Then I want to change it too, and my last name is Zhao!"
"I want it too, I want it too."
When Ping Xun heard their shouts, his head was about to grow. There were too many people with the surname Zhao in Yushan Hall, and they also liked to use single words. Most of those words were loyalty, sincerity, righteousness, etc., so
As a result, there are too many people with the same name in Yushan Hall, so that now he can only call people by their age, the courtyard and room number where they live.
Ping Xun hurriedly raised his hand to suppress everyone's voices, "Okay, okay, don't just think about it based on the surname. Those who still remember their surname should use their own surname. I remember that the girl once gave it to the people in Yushan Hall.
A few names.”
Everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately asked: "What's your name?"
"Peace, tranquility..." Ping Xun twirled his fingers, just to give everyone more choices.
He would rather they have the same name than the same name and the same surname.
Everyone's surname is Zhao. If you call Zhao Yi in the Yushan Hall, ten people will turn around. Apart from his heart, I am afraid only God can know who he is calling.
"Let's go, let's go back to Yushantang first. I will tell you slowly when we get back. If you are diligent and achieve something, I can write to the envoy later and ask the envoy to get some more for you.
name."
Zhao Hanzhang didn't know that Pingxun had given her such a task. The tears in her eyes were blown by the wind and slowly dried up. When she stopped at noon, her face was as usual, "We are returning to Chen County via Xiping and stopped by to visit."
Call me uncle."
Fu Tinghan agreed and asked: "Should I tell him about the gunpowder?"
"Of course," Zhao Hanzhang said, "If we don't tell you now, he will know when gunpowder is needed to quarry stone."
"Want to leave a recipe in Xiping?"
Zhao Hanzhang shook his head directly, "No, the gunpowder does not pass through Zhao's hands, it is only in our hands."
However, they only mentioned that they had not tested gunpowder in front of Zhao Ming, so Zhao Ming only knew that they had made something called a "gunpowder tube" that could help quarry, but did not know its deterrent effect.
How big is it.
When he found out, Zhao Hanzhang was no longer in Xiping.
But now he doesn't care about this gunpowder tube that he only mentioned in one sentence. He cares about another thing, "Qingming Festival ancestor worship, Zhao Ji will bring Dalang back."
When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he asked in surprise: "Can they leave the city now?"
Zhao Ming nodded.
Zhao Hanzhang lightly tapped the table with his fingers, "It seems that Gou Xi's troops have retreated. It's spring, and everyone wants to plow. He can't miss the farming season."
Zhao Ming raised his eyelids and glanced at her. Seeing that she didn't care at all about Zhao Ji's return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he took the initiative and said: "The patriarch's health is not good. The illness has been severe during the Chinese New Year. Zhao Ji should be the patriarch."
Those who came back from the position should want to discuss this matter with the clan elders in advance."
Zhao Hanzhang didn't care about this. She raised her eyelids and looked at Zhao Ming, "Will the clan elders agree to Zhao Ji becoming the clan leader?"
