When we returned to the Governor's Mansion, it was already noon, Liu Kun had just woken up, and Xu Run had been waiting in the Governor's Mansion early.
However, he did not dare to come to see Zhao Hanzhang, but still waited in Liu Kun's house.
Knowing that he had offended Zhao Hanzhang, Liu Kun said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Governor Zhao is a generous person, she won't mind such trivial matters."
Xu Run didn't have Liu Kun's self-confidence. He came up from the bottom, and his feelings towards this Governor Zhao were completely different from Liu Kun's.
Zhao Hanzhang's series of deeds are regarded by celebrities like Liu Kun as benevolence and generosity. Since it is generosity and benevolence, it is naturally open to everyone, and Xu Run should be one of them;
But in the eyes of ordinary people like Xu Run, Zhao Hanzhang's series of deeds show that she loves the people, is fair and strict.
Xu Run knew that he had done something bad, so he was worried and afraid. He loved the people and eliminated the harm, not the people.
Seeing that he was so worried, Liu Kun laughed loudly and took him to see Zhao Hanzhang after putting on his fancy clothes.
Zhao Hanzhang was talking to Ming Yu and others in a low voice when he saw Liu Kun pulling a fair-faced and handsome young man over. He stopped talking and looked at him with a smile.
Liu Kun asked cheerfully: "Zhao Shijun got up so early, but the layout of my house is not to your liking?"
Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "I'm not used to resting during the day, so I just squinted my eyes a little. The decoration in my house is very good."
Liu Kun felt relieved and introduced the young man at hand to her, "Mr. Zhao, this is my Jinyang order."
Zhao Hanzhang's smile did not change, and he nodded to the young man and said with a smile: "I have heard that Magistrate Xu is very good at music. I wonder when I will be lucky enough to see him?"
When Liu Kun heard this, he immediately said: "That's fine tonight."
He laughed and said: "I have introduced you as my confidant, and Runlang is also my confidant. You composed, oh, he played the song "Heaven and Earth Cooperate" the best, and you will definitely be attracted to him after listening to it."
To be a close friend.”
Zhao Hanzhang became interested as expected and said with a smile: "That's really great."
She looked at Xu Run with gentle eyes, "Then let's appreciate Magistrate Xu's talent tonight."
She was obviously very kind, but Xu Run still couldn't help but shudder, giving him a very dangerous feeling. His face turned pale, and he nodded with a forced smile.
Liu Kun didn't know it at all. He burst out laughing when he saw this. He reached out and patted Xu Run on the shoulder and said, "Look, I just said that Governor Zhao is a generous and generous man and won't care."
Zhao Hanzhang didn't move his eyebrows, he just glanced at Xu Run lightly and then looked at Liu Kun doubtfully.
Liu Kun: "His subordinates have nothing to do with him. Today he bumped into Governor Zhao. He was so frightened that he came here to plead guilty. I said Governor Zhao is generous and won't argue with him over such a trivial matter. He was also afraid of neglecting you.
"
"Oh?" Zhao Hanzhang asked with a smile: "I encountered a lot of things today. I wonder which thing County Magistrate Xu is talking about?"
Xu Run was dripping with cold sweat and was just thinking about how to reply when Liu Kun waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's all trivial matters, Governor Zhao. Since you and I are close friends, we can't be so unfamiliar. You can call me by my name."
They have been pen pals for four years, but in their letters, except for calling each other by their first names when excited, the rest of the time they call each other by their official titles or honorifics.
Zhao Hanzhang responded with a smile, called him "Yue Shi", and said that he could also call her by that name.
So the two of them called each other affectionately, and Liu Kun said that in order to entertain Zhao Hanzhang, he must entertain her well at night.
It is said to be in the evening, but it starts at three o'clock in the afternoon, which is Shenshi, which is the time for dinner in this era.
The people of Zhao Hanzhang were very busy. They were used to having three meals a day, and they would not stop until around Xu. However, Zhao Hanzhang was even later, and usually he could stop writing only at Hizheng, or even later.
So when they returned to the normal routine of the nobles in this era, they were still not used to it. Why did they start the dinner party so early in the afternoon?
Fan Ying was silent for a while and then went to prepare the clothes for Zhao Hanzhang to attend the dinner with Ting He, but they rummaged through the three people's baggage and couldn't find a single fancy dress.
They were here to fight or to march in a hurry, so how could they bring those things with them?
Tinghe did pack a box, but he put it in the rear of the army. The army would not arrive in two days at the earliest.
Zhao Hanzhang didn't care, he just put on the simplest clothes and said to the two of them: "I don't have to rely on fancy clothes now."
Ting He was still struggling, but Fan Ying had already reacted and said immediately: "Yes, the girl relies on martial arts and martial arts, not fancy clothes and decorations."
Zhao Hanzhang burst out laughing, "It's too early to talk about martial arts at this time. Okay, don't worry about what I'm wearing. Go and ask Zeng Yue to bring a few more guards up, and ask them to drink less and pay more attention to safety, especially
It’s Fu Langjun’s safety.”
Fan Ying lowered her head and responded, "Wei."
Zhao Hanzhang attended the banquet wearing simple clothes, but no one dared to look down upon her.
Liu Kun invited her to sit with her on the chairman's table.
Zhao Hanzhang walked forward and took a seat. Fu Tinghan bowed his head to her, Shi Le sat with him, Mr. Ming waited one seat behind, and opposite him were the generals and officials of Jinyang.
Xu Run sat below Liu Kun and still above Linghu Sheng.
Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, sat down and asked, "Is Jinyang Ling playing tonight?"
Liu Kun responded with a smile. Seeing how eager Zhao Hanzhang was, he thought that she also liked music very much, so he immediately asked people to prepare the food and music and dance.
Servants filed in and served delicious food.
Of course Zhao Hanzhang would not think that they could be as frugal as her, but Jinyang had been besieged for more than a month, and there had been constant wars before, so there would be a shortage of supplies, so he thought they would not be too extravagant.
But she thought wrong. Human potential is unlimited. The dishes that were served included not only beef, sheep, chicken, and duck meat, but also fresh river food. She even saw tender baby vegetables among them.
It was boiled just right and the presentation was beautiful. However, in recent years, Zhao Hanzhang had been concerned about farming, including vegetables. He knew that such small vegetable seedlings were only for the rich and powerful. From sowing the seeds to pulling out the seedlings, it only took ten to fifteen days, which was more than ten days.
The powerful people think that after fifteen days, the vegetable seedlings will be old and the taste will not be good.
Therefore, both Chen County and Luoyang have quite a large piece of land used to grow this kind of vegetable seedlings, which requires a lot of manpower every day.
After Zhao Hanzhang found out, he did not allow such vegetable seedlings to appear in the house again, nor was he allowed to appear in the banquets he attended.
If the superiors do something good, the people below will do the same; if the people above do something bad, the people below will also follow it.
Knowing that Zhao Hanzhang hated the extravagance of consuming a lot of manpower and land, his officials and generals also followed suit, no longer eating such vegetables, and restrained the family, and then the officials and generals influenced other gentry and wealthy people, so the large areas under Zhao Hanzhang's jurisdiction
In some counties, you can't see such fresh and tender vegetable seedlings on the dining table.
Even Zhang Bin, the new counselor, knew Zhao Hanzhang's taboos, so everyone looked at the vegetables on the table in silence, and no one dared to move their chopsticks.
