MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 689 visionary

  Chapter 689 Foresight

  Wang Siniang knows the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, but she only knows the appearance, not the inside, but Ji Yuan was born that year, and experienced the darkest moment of silence.

  Now under the wings of Zhao Hanzhang, he can not fear the persecution of the court, so he dares to speak freely, "Sima stole Wei back then, and the seven sages in the bamboo forest all opposed Sima, among them Ji Kang and Ruan Ji were the most."

He said: "Emperor Wu broke promises and beheaded the emperor in the street. It is a great evil. Several people among the seven sages were very upset, but they did not hold power. They could only use pen and ink to ridicule Sima's family for their hypocrisy and cunning. Ji Kang and others were therefore arrested. kill."

  Ji Yuan admired such a righteous man very much. Back then, the Sima family broke promises and became bitches, but they wanted to erect a memorial archway to let people recognize their orthodoxy.

  At that time, so many people were killed that those who survived were silent and dared not talk about major events in the world.

But Ji Kang and others were able to speak up for the former Wei without fear of the deterrence of Emperor Wu. Ji Yuan admired it very much. Unfortunately, he was born late for many years and did not catch up with them, so he could not enjoy wine with them. .

   Among the seven sages, Wang Rong is the one Ji Yuan despises the most.

Ji Yuan also made no secret of his contempt, sneered and said: "Wang Rong is stingy and utilitarian. People often defend him by saying that he is self-obscure and uses his wisdom to protect himself. But he is in a high position and has the ability to choose and choose. He has only been appointed to the official position, and he has never promoted people of humble origins, nor dismissed people with vain reputations. He has no backbone and is subject to ups and downs at any time. Although he is alive, it is better to die early."

   "Among the seven sages, his reputation is flawed."

  Zhao Hanzhang nodded and brought the topic back, "Sir, where does Pei Dun's daughter live now?"

Ji Yuan glanced at her and said: "It's in Sanhou Street. There is a family member of the Pei family there. Most of the Pei family daughters are with them. Pei Dun is dead. I don't know if her brother is there. It's okay if he is there." , if not here, I'm afraid life will be difficult."

  He hinted: "Wang Rong was not only the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, but also the Situ of the Great Jin Dynasty. He has rich knowledge and great achievements. Even if he dies, he still has hope. No one will dare to marry Pei's daughter."

  Zhao Hanzhang said: "Who said that I want Daughter Pei to marry? It is her freedom to marry or not. Not to mention Wang Rong, who has passed away, even this official has no right to force her to marry or stay in a boudoir."

  Hmph, they are afraid of Wang Rong's power and dare not marry her, maybe she is not uncommon enough to marry them.

   Zhao Hanzhang took people out for a walk the next day, and walked to Sanhou Street.

  She looked back and forth, and asked: "Because it is the third street down, so it is called the third back street?"

   Ting He nodded: "Yes, what does that girl want to call it?"

  She said: "If you don't like this name, you can change it directly."

   It’s not such an important street, Zhao Hanzhang can change it if she wants, and she still has the right to name it.

  Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand indifferently and asked, "Which door does Pei's family live in?"

  Before he came out, Ting He had already inquired about it, and said, "People from the Pei clan live in the half street behind."

   Zhao Hanzhang was speechless when he heard it, "So many?"

  Ting He said: "But there are only two main ones. The head of one family is named Pei Lai, and the head of the other family is named Pei Lun. The two families are richer, and the rest are dependent clansmen."

  She said: "Although housing prices in Luoyang are low now, there are not many people who can buy or rent a house. Pei Lai and Pei Lun paid to rent this half of the street for the survival of the tribe."

   She pointed to the crowd at the end and said: "Look, that's the public well, and the people washing clothes around it are mostly the Pei family, and the other side is the Shan family."

  Zhao Hanzhang nodded, glanced around, pointed to a door that looked good, slightly rich and said: "I'm thirsty, I'm going to knock on the door to borrow water."

   Ting He went up to knock on the door. After a while, a half-grown boy opened the door and asked Ting He, "What's the matter, girl?"

   Ting He pointed to Zhao Hanzhang and said: "My girl passed by here, she was a little thirsty, so she wanted to ask for two bowls of water to drink, I don't know if your husband would like to give it to you."

The half-grown boy looked over there lazily, and when he saw Zhao Hanzhang, he was shocked, and immediately opened the half-open door, and ran out past Tinghe, looking at her with shining eyes, "It's the girl who is thirsty." Please? Come inside, I have good wine at home."

   Ting He: "...we want water, who wants wine?"

  Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and said, "It's okay, and the wine is fine."

  She looked the boy up and down, and asked with a smile, "Looking at your age, you should still be studying, right?"

  The young man responded, and while leading Zhao Hanzhang in, he said: "I am studying at home now, and I am waiting for the imperial examination next year."

  Zhao Hanzhang nodded in satisfaction, "It's good to have this ambition, what books have you read now?"

   "I'm studying Lao Zhuang," said the young man, "My father said that Mr. Zhao, the head of the Taixue, is quite like Lao Zhuang, so let me focus on Lao Zhuang."

  This is the same as candidates betting on a question. Candidates in this era will ponder their husband's preferences.

   Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Then you have to study hard, Taixue is the leader of a hundred schools of thought, and it is not enough to only study Laozhuang."

  The young man should go down.

  Happily leading her to the main hall, passing some courtyards along the road, Zhao Hanzhang turned his head and glanced, some courtyard doors were open, and several clothes poles were propped up inside, and clothes were being dried on them.

  Zhao Hanzhang saw patches on some clothes with sharp eyes.

In some yards, children were crying and scolding children, "I asked you and your cousins ​​to collect firewood, why didn't you go? It's going to be cold in the sky. If there is no firewood, you want to freeze to death this year." Ma'am, should you freeze yourself to death?"

   "It's really lazy, your father is lazy, and you are lazy too, the whole family of lazy people depends on me to support..."

  The young man saw Zhao Hanzhang pricked up his ears to listen carefully, and couldn't help but blushed, and shouted towards the yard where the crying and cursing sound came from: "Aunt Six, I'm going to pick up firewood soon, why don't you ask my younger brother to come with me."

  The cursing in the yard stopped for a moment, and a voice responded politely, "Thank you Sanlang, call him when you go out later."

   Seeing that there was no crying in the yard at last, he was relieved.

  Zhao Hanzhang asked him, "How many households live in this house?"

  Pei Sanlang smiled and said: "Twelve households."

   That is to say, there are more than one family living in a yard, so it is no wonder that the noise is so serious.

  Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him, but felt a little sad in his heart. It seems that everyone's life is not easy.

   "When the survivors move back, if their original houses are still there, they can take them back, and renting a house with the county government is not expensive, so why are they all crowded together?"

  The young man admired Zhao Hanzhang very much, and answered all questions. He said: "Most people's houses are gone. They used to rent houses to live in, or they were attached to their descendants. Once they left and came back, everything changed."

"It's cheap to rent a house with the yamen, but you need to live separately. It's better for people of the same clan to live together and take care of each other." The young man said: "If Luoyang is still attacked one day, we and they don't need to run around to be notified. , the clansmen live together, and they can get together after packing their bags.”

  Zhao Hanzhang: "...has a vision."

  The young man was overjoyed, "I also think this is my father's idea."

  His father happened to be in the living room, and he heard his voice from a long distance away, and couldn't help frowning, "Sanlang, what are you doing outside instead of studying in the room?"

Good night
