Three Kingdoms King of the North

Han Zhan quickly stepped forward to help Cai Yan, and said with a smile on his face, "Zhao Ji doesn't need to be so polite, please sit down."

After Cai Yan sat down, Han Zhan also sat down opposite, and asked, "Is Zhaoji used to living here?"

"Tinghou arranged the residence for the slave family, and the slave family is very satisfied." Cai Yan showed a sweet smile on his face, staring at Han Zhan with bright eyes, and said: "Tinghou, the slave family wants to go around the city of Jizhou and buy some. something. I wonder if it is possible?"

Hearing that Cai Yan said that she wanted to go out for a walk, Han Zhan was a little hesitant. Regardless of the time it took to occupy Jizhou City, there might still be Yuan Shao's remnants in the city hiding nearby, constantly monitoring the State Shepherd's Mansion day and night , if Cai Yan goes out at this time, it may be dangerous.

Seeing that Han Zhan didn't reply for a long time, Cai Yan couldn't help showing a disappointed expression on his face.She stood up and said quietly: "If Marquis Ting finds it inconvenient, and I will not force you, I will take my leave."

"Zhaoji, don't go yet." Seeing Cai Yan get up and go out, Han Zhan rushed over to grab her arm, and said hastily: "The Marquis was thinking about something just now, and I was fascinated by Zhaoji for a while." Don't blame Benhou." Seeing that Cai Yan was still refusing to speak with his head down, he hastily added, "How about this, in order to punish Benhou for neglecting Zhaoji, let Benhou go shopping with Zhaoji. .”

Hearing that Han Zhan planned to go shopping with her, Cai Yan's pretty face immediately flushed two blushes. Although she didn't have the slightest objection in her heart, she still said insincerely: "No need, Ting Hougui has a lot of people, so it's better Let the slaves go alone."

Fortunately, Han Zhan is good at observing words and expressions. When he saw Cai Yan's face was as red as an apple, he guessed that she still hoped that he could go shopping with her, so he said with a playful smile, "In order to go shopping with Zhao Ji, no matter how many people I have to put aside all official duties for the time being, and it won’t be too late to deal with them when I come back from shopping.”

When he learned that Han Zhan was going to travel in low clothes, Chen Dao rushed over in a panic and dissuaded him, "My lord, there are Yuan Shao's remnants in the city, so don't take any risks yourself."

"Uncle Zhi," Han Zhan told Chen Dao that since he had agreed to go shopping with Cai Yan, there was no reason to backtrack, "You can arrange a few people to follow us from a distance."

Seeing that Han Zhan was determined to go his own way, Chen Dao couldn't stop him anymore, so he could only reply respectfully: "This subordinate obeys orders."

Han Zhan, who was dressed in casual clothes, walked out of the back of the State Shepherd's Mansion side by side with Cai Yan, and walked towards the front along the street. They were only accompanied by Patch and Cai Yan's maid.Chen Dao sent ten guards to follow him twenty paces away.With such a long distance, Han Zhan and Cai Yan will not be disturbed; if something happens, they can rush to rescue in time.

Walking on the spacious street, seeing the shops on both sides and the pedestrians coming and going on the street, Han Zhan couldn't help feeling secretly that this Jizhou is still quite prosperous, even if he moves the government office to Yecheng in the future, he will have to send Important military officials stay here.

"Tinghou!" Han Zhan was considering the candidate for the military candidate to stay in Jizhou City, when he suddenly heard Cai Yan calling him, he quickly collected himself, turned his head and asked, "Zhaoji, what's the matter?"

Cai Yan pointed to a nearby silk and satin factory, and said to Han Zhan in a negotiating tone: "Tinghou, let's go to the silk and satin factory to have a look."

"Let's go, let's go," Han Zhan guessed that there were probably no ready-made clothing stores in this era. If you want to wear any clothes, you can only go to a silk shop or a cloth shop. You can buy silk and cloth and ask a tailor to go home or do it yourself.Therefore, as soon as Cai Yan made this request, he agreed without hesitation: "Let's go in and have a look."

Seeing Han Zhan and Cai Yan enter the silk and satin village, the guards who followed also stopped, knowing that they might not come out too early, so they sat down to eat something in front of a small food stall on the nearby street.But even when they were eating, they still glanced at the silk and satin shop from time to time, so that they could follow Han Zhan in time when he came out.

When Han Zhan and Cai Yan entered the silk and satin shop, a clerk immediately greeted them and asked respectfully, "My lord, young lady, what do you want?"

Cai Yan couldn't help but blushed slightly when she heard the clerk calling her young lady, but she didn't correct him, but looked at Han Zhan next to her shyly and timidly.Han Zhan didn't pay attention to Cai Yan's gaze on him, but said to the shopkeeper, "Take out any new silks and satins that have arrived in your shop."

The clerk welcomes and sends them off every day, and he can be regarded as a well-informed person. Seeing Han Zhan and Cai Yan's gorgeous clothes and extraordinary bearing, he knew that they must be rich. Now he heard Han Zhan talking so rich and powerful, Immediately nodded and bowed and said: "Young master and young lady please wait a moment, I will bring out the best silk and satin for the two of you to choose."

Seeing the guy keep putting all kinds of silks and satins on the table in front of him, Cai Yan turned to Han Zhan and said, "Enough, don't let the guy move any more, it's already too much."

"Okay, buddy, there's no need to move anymore." Hearing what Cai Yan said, Han Zhan quickly greeted the buddy, "We'll just pick from these."

The guards waiting outside saw Han Zhan, Cai Yan and a maid coming out of the silk and satin village after a long time, but they didn't see the patch.Just when everyone felt strange, a patch on the door curtain came out from the inside, and he staggered out with a bundle of silk and satin in his arms.

Seeing that the guards were still eating in front of the food stall, they shouted, "Come here, two people!"

Following his shout, two guards immediately walked over and asked respectfully, "Steward Patch, what orders do you have?"

"Didn't you see the silk in my hand?" Patch said angrily, "Hurry up and take it." After the two guards held the silk in their hands, Patch quickened his pace to catch up with Han Zhan in front of him .

Han Zhan walked slowly along the street, and suddenly his eyes stopped on a shop sign, and he saw that it said "Zigu Mutton Soup Restaurant".Seeing this shop sign, he couldn't help but stop, thinking to himself: the owner of this mutton soup restaurant, could it be that Zigu from Sheguo County?Ever since she went bankrupt and paid the redemption money for Ge Bie, she has disappeared, and she did not expect her to move to Jizhou.

Seeing that Han Zhan was not moving forward, Cai Yan couldn't help asking curiously, "Tinghou, why don't you leave?"

Han Zhan pouted at the shop sign and said, "Zhao Ji, I saw this shop sign and remembered a few acquaintances."

"Acquaintances, what acquaintances?" Cai Yan asked with some surprise: "Among the people who run the mutton soup restaurant, there are actually acquaintances of Tinghou?"

Han Zhan understood Cai Yan's reaction very well. The status of merchants in the Han Dynasty was low, even if they were wealthy, they had no status at all. Therefore, Cai Yan would be surprised when he heard that Han Zhan knew such a person. .

"We've been walking for so long, Zhao Ji must be hungry too, let's go in and drink the mutton soup to warm up." Han Zhan was deeply afraid that Cai Yan would not follow him into such a mutton soup restaurant, so he specially emphasized: "Her family's Noodle cakes and mutton soup are the best in Sheguo County."

Hearing what Han Zhan said, Cai Yan knew that it would be impossible not to go in, so he nodded and said in a low voice, "But it's up to Tinghou."

The guards who followed saw Han Zhan entering a mutton soup restaurant. Knowing that there were mixed fish and dragons in these places, they were afraid that he would be in danger, so four guards with high martial arts skills pretended to be ordinary diners and followed them into the mutton soup restaurant. museum.

As soon as Han Zhan and the others entered the door, a waiter came up to greet him, and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, how many young masters are there?"

Han Zhan stared at the other party. The waiter was actually the Xiaobai he had seen in Sheguo County.Then he smiled and asked, "Xiaobai, do you still know me?"

Xiaobai looked up and saw that the person in front of him was very kind-hearted, and when he took a closer look, he immediately recognized Jizhou Mu Hanzhan.While saying: "So it is" at the same time preparing to kneel down and salute.Han Zhan pulled him and said in a low voice, "Don't reveal my identity. Find us a secluded place."

Xiaobai nodded again and again, and at the same time moved his body aside, nodded and bowed and said, "My lord, please go inside. There is a private room inside, which is quiet."

Zigu's new store is much larger than in Sheguo County, with several private rooms.Xiaobai brought Han Zhan and the others into the private room, wiped the table with a towel on his shoulders, and asked respectfully, "I wonder what Tinghou would like to eat?"

"Your family's mutton soup is good, give each of us a night." Han Zhan recalled the noodle cake that made him have an endless aftertaste, and ordered: "By the way, come and serve two of that noodle cake."

"Ting Hou, please wait a moment," Xiaobai said with a smile on his face, "what you want will come right away."

Not long after Xiaobai left, Zigu took Xiaobai and another waiter with a tray and brought in the mutton soup and noodle cakes that Han Zhan had ordered.After Xiao Er put the things on the table one by one, Zi Gu waved him away.After Xiaoer left the private room and closed the door casually, Zigu and Xiaobai hurriedly greeted Han Zhan: "My little one has seen Tinghou!"

"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Han Zhan asked Zigu with a smile, "I haven't seen you for almost half a year since I left Sheguo County. I didn't expect you to come to Jizhou City to open a shop."

"Ge Bie has an uncle who is quite poor here. After we left Sheguo County, we came here. With his uncle's support, we opened this mutton soup restaurant." Zigu explained to Han Zhan: " Fortunately, the taste of my soup restaurant is good, so the business has been booming."

Han Zhan waited for Zigu to finish speaking, nodded, and said to her, "Zigu, if you have any difficulties, just ask, Benhou will definitely help you solve it."

When Xiaobai heard Han Zhan say such words, he immediately winked at Zigu, as if hinting at her.But Zigu pretended she didn't see anything, she kept her eyes on her nose, nose, nose and heart, and stood in front of Han Zhan without saying a word.

Seeing Xiaobai's small movements, Han Zhan coughed lightly and said, "Zigu, don't you trust me?"

"No, no," Zi Gu quickly waved her hand and said, "Marquis Ting misunderstood, although there is a little trouble, but my family can handle it, so I dare not bother Marquis Ting."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of noise from outside the private room.Hearing this voice, Xiaobai's face turned livid, and Zigu frowned.

Han Zhan listened attentively to the movement outside, only to hear someone shouting loudly: "Where is the boss, tell her to come out immediately, otherwise I will smash her shop."

Hearing this voice, the muscles on Xiaobai's face twitched violently. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush outside, but was pulled by Aunt Zi firmly: "Xiaobai, don't be impulsive, strong dragons don't overwhelm snakes , don’t get acquainted with him.”

The people outside yelled a few more times, and seeing that the boss didn't show up, they started throwing dishes and bowls.Seeing that the people outside were making too much noise, Han Zhan snorted coldly, got up and walked to the door, opened the door and walked out.

He saw that there was a mess in the hall, the tables were overturned, and the dishes were broken.And four or five vicious people were still chasing the diners and smashing the dishes vigorously.

"Stop!" Han Zhan yelled violently, and after the other party stopped, he said righteously: "In broad daylight, you are here to behave mischievously, aren't you afraid of the king's law?"

A burly middle-aged man walked up to Han Zhan, looked him over carefully, and said with a sneer, "No wonder Zigu didn't want to follow me. It turned out that she found a bad guy. I advise you to leave early, otherwise I will It will beat you until you can't take care of yourself."

As Jizhou Mu, he was threatened by someone on his own territory. Han Zhan laughed back angrily. He asked the other party, "Who are you, and why did you smash up Zigu's shop?"

"Boy," the middle-aged man said arrogantly: "Master, I am Master Xiao Huxiao from Dongmen, nicknamed Zhenshanhu. A few days ago, Master, I came here to drink mutton soup. I fell in love with the boss here and asked her Follow me to enjoy the blessings, but I never thought that she would be ignorant of flattery, dare to reject me in public, and let the uncle put my face? If she still refuses to obey me today, the uncle will burn this small shop down."

"Master Zhenshan Huxiao!" After repeating the other party's name, Han Zhan said in a disdainful tone: "It sounds scary, but it doesn't scare me. I advise you to leave obediently and don't harass me again Aunt Zi, otherwise I will make your life worse than death."

"Hey, brothers, did you hear that?" Xiao Hu turned his head and said to his little brothers: "There are still people who dare to threaten me, Uncle Xiao. Let me go, break his hands and feet first, and see if he dares to be so arrogant."
