Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 19: Hanjiazhuang


   Early in the morning the next morning, Li Zexuan took the calculated account books and went to the east courtyard.

   "Mother, the account book you gave yesterday morning has been calculated, mother, please take a look first."

   said and passed the account book in his hand.

   Mrs. Li took the account book and said with joy: "I heard your father say that Xuan'er is a superb student. I didn't expect you to finish it so quickly, but it saves you a lot of things for your mother."

  Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Mother, I want to visit Hanjiazhuang."

   Mrs. Li was a little curious, and asked: "It's so far from home and the road is not easy to walk, Xuan'er, what are you going to do there."

   Li Zexuan thought for a while and said: "The boy wants to see how the dealers are doing. The boy has been studying arts in Longhu Mountain for eight years, but he has no knowledge of the sufferings in the world. Master he also wants to make the boy a low-level citizen of Datang Do something. So I want to visit Hanjiazhuang today."

   Mrs. Li recalled what her son said, and said with some relief:

   "Since Xuan'er wants to go, let the steward Wang accompany you. Xuan'er, you bring some cakes. I guess you won't be back at noon, so don't be hungry."

   "Well, thank you mother, that kid is gone."

   Li Zexuan came to the front yard and found Wang Zhong, the housekeeper, and told him that he was going to Hanjiazhuang, and asked him to prepare horses first. Hanjiazhuang was almost thirty miles away from Li Mansion, so it was impossible to walk there.

   "Brother, where are you going?"

   Laner saw the steward Wang go to the stables to lead the horse, and knew that his brother was going out, so she ran over and asked.

  "Brother is going to visit Zhuangzi, Lan'er, wait for your brother to come back, okay?"

   Li Zexuan said helplessly, this sister is too clingy.

   "No, it's boring for Lan'er to be at home alone. Mother doesn't play with Lan'er. Lan'er wants to go to Zhuangzi with her brother."

   Lan'er's small head shook like a rattle.

   "Okay, okay, Xiaohe, Xiaoxi, you too, take care of the lady, Sambo you go get a carriage."

   These little girls definitely don't know how to ride a horse, so Li Zexuan asked Sambo to find a carriage.

   After a while, a group of people set off to Hanjiazhuang.

   went out of Chang’an City from Yanxingmen and headed east. The road was getting harder and harder to walk. Li Zexuan and Wang Zhong didn’t feel much on horseback, but the carriage behind it kept swaying. The little girl exclaimed again and again.

   "Three treasures, you drive the carriage slowly, don't overturn it."

   I didn’t know if Sambo was an old driver, and fearing that he would overturn the car, Li Zexuan had to slow down with the steward Wang, and let Sambo drive slowly.

   Just like that, over 30 miles, a few people just walked for more than an hour. At this moment, I saw a village not far ahead, and there were still a few people working in the field.

   "Master, that is Hanjiazhuang in front." Wang Zhong stopped and pointed to the village road in front of him.

  "Well, then go quickly. It's noon. Uncle Wang, find a family, give some money, and we will have lunch in the village."

   Li Zexuan said that Wang Zhong is more familiar with this place than him, and the family often sends him over to collect rent, so it is more appropriate for him to arrange.

   "Yes, master, why not go to Han Li Zheng's house at noon, every time my wife sends me here to collect rent, Han Li is very cooperative." Wang Zhong suggested.

   "Okay, let's lead the way, Uncle Wang".

   A group of people enters the village by hitting horses. It is the spring plowing season. At the entrance of the village, you can still see many people pulling cattle to plow in the farmland. There are also three or two children chasing and playing on the ridge. There are occasional **** and dog barks in the village. Traffic, chickens and dogs hear each other.

   This scene is often seen by Li Zexuan in his previous life. He was originally a native of the countryside, but Lan'er saw it very fresh. She was born as the little princess in the family. How could she have seen this scene of the farmhouse, she got out of the carriage and pulled her brother With his hand, I looked around as I walked.

  Li Zexuan left the horses and carriages at the entrance of the village and let Sambo take good care of him. He led a group of people into the village and walked straight to Han Lizheng's house under the leadership of Wang Zhong.

   "Master, here it is, this is Han Lizheng's home."

   After a while, Wang Zhong pointed to a rundown farmyard in front of him.

   Li Zexuan was a little surprised. When he wanted to come, this place was in a later generation, and it was almost equivalent to a village chief. Why did he live in such a shabby place? At this time, he didn’t have much to say at the door of the house, and he left with Wang Zhong. Go in.

   "Yo, steward Wang, you are here!"

  A dark-skinned middle-aged man in the courtyard hurriedly greeted Li Zexuan and his party. It's just that Li Zexuan noticed that his right leg seemed to be somewhat disabled, and he walked limply. But from the thick muscles on his arms, he can still see that the middle-aged man's body contains great strength.

  "Han Lizheng, these are my young master and young lady. Your wife and my wife have already accounted for the rent paid by the Zhuangzi this year, and there is no problem. Today is my young master who wants to visit Hanjiazhuang." Wang Zhong introduced to Han Lizheng.

  Han Lizheng heard the words and hurriedly bowed respectfully to Li Zexuan and Lan'er, saying: "I have seen Master and Miss!"

   Li Zexuan hurriedly replied: "Uncle Han, please don't be so polite~IndoMTL.com~ You'll have to bother Uncle Han in a while. It seems it's noon, so I will bring this group of people to Uncle Han's house for lunch. Uncle Han can rest assured that we all bring our own ingredients and pastries. Just use the kitchen of Uncle Han’s to heat up, and we will pay the corresponding reward."

   Han Lizheng flushed immediately when he heard this, and said with a suffocating neck: "The young master said that is a shame on the old man. My Hanjiazhuang harvest was not good last year. Mrs. Li not only reduced our rent by 10%, but also allowed a close For the half-year rent payment period, if it were not for the kindness of my wife, I would not know how many people would starve to death in Hanjiazhuang.

   Now that the young master comes to my house for a meal, how can we let the young master bring his own ingredients? How dare to collect the young master's money? If the villagers know about it and don't poke my Han's backbone, the young master must never say this again. Although I, Han Tianhu, is a rough person, I still know how to report. "

  , this accidentally hurt people’s pride, Li Zexuan quickly explained:

  "Don’t get me wrong, Uncle Han, I don’t mean to give money. This is what you deserve. There is no reason to not give money for food in this world."

   Seeing that Han Li was struggling his neck and wanted to refuse, Li Zexuan was busy again:

  "Since Uncle Han doesn’t accept it, I’m not reluctant to do so, so I would like to thank Uncle Han for his hospitality today. If he has any difficulties in his Japanese-Korean family house, I will try to solve it as much as I can. Just use ours. After all, the ingredients we bring will be broken if we don’t eat them. It will cost some firewood from Uncle Han’s."

  Han Lizheng barely accepted this and waved his hand:

   "It's just a little firewood, it's not worth the money. Master, don't hesitate to use it. When it's used up, Han will go to the mountains to chop some. Master, Miss, come in and sit down!"

  The group of people entered the house.
