The few of them ate the big cake together, and their relationship instantly became much closer. The scholar introduced himself and said that his surname was Zhuang, and his name was Zhuang Zhilue. Because the north was occupied by the Jin soldiers, he had no choice but to flee with his brother and his son.
South. I once studied in Wuxi and was quite famous there. I wanted to find a tutor there to make a living. The big man was his cousin, Li Youyong, who had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He escorted them here because of the cost.
It’s over, that’s why we have what we have today.
Wuxi? Our four brothers were preparing to cross the river in Runzhou. We were chased by the villagers and got out of the box. How did we end up in Wuxi hundreds of miles away? Chai Zhuo was a little confused. So, a few brothers got out
The locations are all different, so I'm afraid I won't be able to find them in a short time. People's hearts are apart, and the identity of the Chai family is known to them, and there might be another turmoil. He thought of his two ancestors who were saved by Pan Meiren and changed their surnames.
Pan's story was introduced to them. His surname was Pan, and he also went to Wuxi to seek refuge with relatives. He got separated from several brothers along the way. Otherwise, if he went together, he would be safer and they would have food and lodging along the way.
provided by him.
The Chai family has many properties in the south of the Yangtze River. Chai Shuxia and Chai Shuqiu are the sons of Chongyi Gong. They have a salary and a title that they can inherit in the future, so they live in the capital all year round. Chai Zhuo and Chai Cui are commoners, with no official or title, and are members of the family.
The industry has always been managed by the two brothers, and there was their business in Wuxi. He thought that as long as he arrived in Wuxi safely, and with the help of the strength of the business, it would be easy to find clues about the brothers.
When the victims of the disaster blocked the road, Zhuang Zhi said with emotion: "If Chai Shizong died a few years later, how could the northern barbarians dare to do this? This is all caused by the Zhao family's son's improper inheritance of the country."
"Chenqiaoyi"
Chenqiaoyi, plus yellow robe,
If you get evil from the country, you will be afraid of generals’ learning.
A cup of wine in the Golden Palace releases military power.
The national policy is determined by emphasizing literature over military affairs,
There is no one to protect the vast wealth,
From now on, the country's gate opens to the north.
Encountered a robber and bought the road with new coins.
He also said why all the nations came to court.
There were still people who missed their ancestors, and Chai Zhuo felt quite emotional in his heart. But saying bad things about the current founding emperor and making it into a song might lead to disaster for no reason. He hurriedly said to him: "Sir, be careful what you say, be careful what you say."
Along the way, I encountered several bandits who had robbed the road. They were sallow and skinny, and would fall over in the wind. It was obvious at first glance that they were novices who were hungry. Li Youyong stepped forward and showed his sword, but he was so frightened that he backed away. More than ten days later
, arrived in Wuxi. After saying goodbye to Zhuang Zhilue and others, we arrived at the store. There were many refugees crowded at the door with pale faces. The clerk was driving them away. When he saw the shopkeeper coming, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Look, shopkeeper, it's not a villain who doesn't try his best.
, there are too many refugees and we can’t catch them.”
The main business of the Chai family business is the ceramic trade with Fanbang, and Wuxi is just a distribution center. Chai Zhuo remembered the many encounters with bandits on the road, and ordered the clerk to first arrange manpower to find Chai Shuxia and others. At the same time, he arranged for the accounting office to post notices about recruiting workers to recruit hungry people.
One hundred of the able-bodied people will serve as escorts to protect the safety of the porcelain transportation.
"Doesn't this make people suspect that they are gathering for rebellion?" Jin Huabin just said this when he heard the sound of pig slaughtering coming from the backyard and turned around to watch the fun. This pig was used by a neighbor to prepare a dowry. It is popular in rural areas to kill pigs.
The second half of the pig is put on the cart in red and green clothes, which is a good idea.
Self-raised pigs tasted good. Seeing this, Chai Jinli went over and bought a large piece, preparing to make Xianju wheat cakes to entertain Jin Huabin.
Among the wheat cakes, the most delicious one is of course the dried vegetables and pork stuffing. It tastes soft, fragrant and crispy. This food is also one of the specialties of Jin Huabin B&B. When I saw him chopping the stuffing, I couldn’t help but feel itchy hands.
He also helped with the dough and chanted:
"Huanxi Sha, Pan-fried Wheat Cake"
A piece of meat costs a hundred dollars, dried vegetables are dried on the balcony, chopped green onions and wine are mixed several times.
Add warm water to knead the noodles, add oil and toss the pan over, and the aroma of wheat cakes lingers.
The two of them shared beer with wheat cakes and started drinking. After feeling drunk for a while, Chai Jinli began to tell the story: "Do you know where the three brothers got into the box? After the three of them came out together, they found that it was the Runzhou Ferry on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
.However, all the money belongs to Chai Zhuo, and they don’t have half a copper in their pockets. It is said that a penny is difficult for a heroic man. They are gorgeously dressed and thin-skinned. There is no Chai family’s property in Runzhou. Wait for Chai Zhuo and others.
After a night of no results, I could only go on hungry.
Chai Cui was more clever. When he arrived in Runzhou, he remembered that he had his own property in Wuxi. He searched all over his body and couldn't find anything valuable, so he reluctantly found a pawn shop to pawn his clothes. But the army was in a panic. Although the pawn shop was well-known and expensive,
They were only willing to give them a lot of money, which was not enough to rent a donkey cart. After a few days, the money was spent. At first, Chai Shuxia and Chai Shuqiu were still holding out, but when they ran out of money, they had no choice but to pawn off their clothes.
On the road, only big market towns had restaurants and bars. The three of them were dressed like refugees and headed to Wuxi hungry and full. When they met people giving porridge on the road, they rushed to grab them without regard for dignity, just like victims of the disaster.
"People are poor and short of breath"
Sir, I lost my wallet,
In troubled times, be gentle and considerate.
First, he pawned clothes to pay for travel.
Make a swollen face and show off.
Later, all the money and clothes were used up,
Hungry people scramble for food.
A penny stumps a heroic man,
When a person is poor, he will inevitably feel short of breath.
The search clerk never thought that the three of them had become victims of the disaster. They just looked for the person on the street based on the portrait, and naturally missed him.
In the city of Wuxi, victims were starving to death every day. Chai Zhuo felt sympathy and mobilized wealthy households to jointly provide relief and rice porridge. With the news that Duke Chongyi and the emperor were captured by the Jin soldiers, the misunderstanding of the victims about them was eliminated.
, the name of Chongyi Gong was extremely influential in Wuxi city, and for a time, many wealthy households joined him.
On this day, while I was busy giving porridge, I heard a noise coming from the porridge stall. The waiter came over and reported: "There are three madmen, wearing rags, pointing at the flag of the porridge soup, saying that they are the big shopkeepers here.
We wanted to see you, but we refused to let you go, so they pushed down the porridge stall. When the victims saw that they had nothing to eat, they held down three of them and beat them. The guys were afraid of getting involved in lawsuits, so they were trying to persuade them to fight."
"Quick, take me over there." Chai Zhuo hurriedly said to the waiter as he walked: "They are the big shopkeeper and his party."
The waiter got anxious and rushed out of the door, helped them up, bowed to them, and apologized repeatedly: "The young man has eyesight but doesn't know the truth. He doesn't realize that the three shopkeepers are paying private visits incognito. They are very offended."
This guy was quite clever and told them that their down-and-out wandering here begging for food was a private visit incognito, which made them look embarrassed. Chai Zhuo nodded secretly.
Seeing what the waiter said, Chai Cui also took the opportunity and said: "Giving such thin porridge to the victims is a disgrace to our Chai family."
They were going to use these words to make up for the matter of knocking down the porridge shop just now, but the two brothers Chai Shuxia and Chai Shuqiu said: "As long as you have something to eat, as long as you have something to eat, take the porridge bowl and start drinking."
Really speechless, Yu Mutou, Chai Zhuo took the bowls from their hands and invited them to sit down in the shop.
