Chapter 0155 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop

The next morning, Han Zhan was sitting in the study reading, and the patch came in and reported to him: "Young master, Miss Cai is outside the door, can you let her in?"

When Han Zhan learned that Cai Yan was outside the door, he was overjoyed. He quickly stood up and said to the patch: "What are you doing here? Why don't you invite Miss Cai in?" Patch agreed, turned around and walked out of the study.

After a while, Cai Yan followed Patch and walked into the study. She came to Han Zhan, bowed and bowed, and said softly: "I have seen Marquis Ting!"

Han Zhan hurriedly stepped forward and helped Cai Yan up, and said with a smile: "Zhao Ji doesn't have to be so polite, please sit down."

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

"The residence arranged by Tinghou for my family is very satisfied." Cai Yan showed a sweet smile on his face, staring at Han Zhan with bright eyes, and said, "Tinghou, I want to go and buy something in Jizhou City. I wonder if it's okay?"

When Han Zhan heard Cai Yan say that she wanted to go out for a walk, he hesitated. Although he had occupied Jizhou City for a long time, there might be Yuan Shao's remnants in the city, which was hidden nearby, monitoring the provincial governor's mansion day and night. If Cai Yan goes out at this time, there might be danger.

Seeing that Han Zhan refused to reply, Cai Yan couldn't help but look disappointed on his face. She stood up and said quietly: "If Tinghou feels inconvenient, I will not force him, so I will say goodbye."

"Zhao Ji, don't leave for now." Seeing Cai Yan get up and walking out, Han Zhan rushed over and grabbed her arm, and said hurriedly: "I am thinking about things just now. I want to be immersed in Zhao Ji, don't blame me." Seeing that Cai Yan was still lowering his head and pouting and refused to speak, he quickly added, "It's better to do this. In order to punish me, I will punish me to accompany Zhao Ji to go shopping with me."

When he heard that Han Zhan was planning to accompany him to go shopping, Cai Yan's pretty face immediately flew on two blushings. Although he had no intention of objection in his heart, he still said insincerely: "No need, there are many people in the noble Hou Ting, so I'd better go alone."

Fortunately, Han Zhan was good at observing his expressions. When he saw Cai Yan's face blushing like an apple, he guessed that the other party still hoped that he could go shopping with her. He said with a smile: "In order to accompany Zhaoji to go shopping, no matter how much official business you have, you have to give up for a while. It is not too late to come back after shopping."

Upon learning that Han Zhan was going to travel in a low dress, Chen Da rushed over in a panic and dissuaded: "Lord, there are only Yuan Shao's remnants in the city, so you must not take risks in person."

"Shuzhi," Han Zhan has agreed to accompany Cai Yan to go shopping, and there is no reason to go back on his word, so he ordered Chen Dao: "Just arrange a few people and follow us from afar."

Seeing that Han Zhan was determined to act alone, Chen Dao couldn't stop him anymore, so he could only answer respectfully: "Subordinate to obey the order."

Han Zhan, dressed in casual clothes, walked out of the back of the provincial governor's mansion side by side and walked forward along the street. They were only accompanied by Pang and Cai Yan's maid. Chen Dao sent ten guards to follow twenty steps away. Such a long distance would neither disturb Han Zhan nor Cai Yan; if there was anything, they could also hurry over to rescue him in time.

Walking on the spacious street and seeing shops on both sides and pedestrians coming and going on the street, Han Zhan couldn't help but sigh in secret. He didn't expect that Jizhou was still quite prosperous. Even when the capital was moved to Yecheng in the future, important civil and military officials would be sent to stay here.

"Marquis Ting!" When Han Zhan was considering the candidate for civil and military personnel who stayed in Jizhou City, he suddenly heard Cai Yan calling him. He quickly calmed down and turned his head to ask, "Zhao Ji, what's the matter?"

Cai Yan pointed at a silk shop next to her and said to Han Zhan in a negotiation tone: "Mr. Ting, let's go to the silk shop and take a look."

"Let's go, let's go," Han Zhan guessed that there were probably no ready-to-wear shops or other clothes in this era. He had to wear any clothes, so he could only go to the satin shop or cloth shop, buy silk, and go home to ask the tailor or do it by himself. Therefore, when Cai Yan made this request, he agreed without hesitation: "Let's go in and take a look."

Seeing Han Zhan and Cai Yan enter the silk shop, the guards following him also stopped. Knowing that they might not come out too early, they sat down in front of the food stall on the nearby street to eat something. However, even though they were eating, their eyes looked at the silk shop from time to time so that when Han Zhan came out, they could keep up in time.

Han Zhan and Cai Yan entered the silk shop, and a friend immediately came up and asked respectfully: "Young master, young lady, don't you know what you two want to order?"

Cai Yan couldn't help but blush when she heard the guy calling her young lady, but she didn't correct her, but looked at Han Zhan next to her shyly and timidly. Han Zhan did not pay attention to Cai Yan's gaze on him, but said to the guy: "Take out any new silk in your store, take it out and take a look."

The guy welcomes and sees him off every day, and is also a knowledgeable person. Seeing Han Zhan and Cai Yan dressed gorgeously and had extraordinary temperament, he knew that they must be rich. At this moment, he heard Han Zhan speak so richly and immediately nodded and said, "Please wait for a while, young man, take out the best silk for you to choose."

Seeing that the guy kept coming to the table in front of him, Cai Yan turned his head and said to Han Zhan: "Enough, don't let the guy move again, this is too much."

"Okay, man, don't move anymore." Han Zhan heard Cai Yan say this and hurriedly greeted the guy, "We'll choose from these."

After a long time, the guards waiting outside saw Han Zhan, Cai Yan and a maid walking out of the silk shop, but they didn't see the patch. Just when everyone was surprised, the door curtain came out with a patch. He walked out with a bundle of silk, holding a bundle of silk and staggeringly.

Seeing that the guards were still sitting in front of the food stall and eating, they shouted: "Two people come here!"

Following his shout, two guards immediately walked over and asked respectfully: "Patch Butler, I don't know what instructions do you have?"

"Didn't you see the silk in my hand?" Patch said angrily: "Why don't you take it quickly?" After the two guards held the silk in their hands, Patch quickly rushed to chase Han Zhan in front.

Han Zhan walked slowly along the street. Suddenly his eyes stopped on a shop sign, and he saw that "Zigu Lamb Soup Restaurant" was written on it. Seeing this shop sign, he couldn't help but stop and thought to himself: The owner of this mutton soup restaurant is not the Zigu in Sheguo County, right? Since she lost all her money to pay the atonement for Ge Bei, she has disappeared. Unexpectedly, she moved to Jizhou.

Seeing that Han Zhan stopped moving forward, Cai Yan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Ting, why don't you leave?"

Han Zhan blunt his mouth towards the shop sign and said, "Zhao Ji, I remembered a few acquaintances when I saw this shop sign."

"Acquaintance, what acquaintance?" Cai Yan asked in surprise: "Among the people who run the mutton soup restaurant, there are actually Tinghou's acquaintances?"

Han Zhan was very understanding of Cai Yan's reaction. The merchants had a low status in the Han Dynasty. Even if they were rich, they had no status. Therefore, Cai Yan was surprised to hear that Han Zhan knew such a person.

"We have been away for so long, and Zhao Ji must be hungry. We go in and drink mutton soup and warm up our bodies." Han Zhan was very afraid that Cai Yan would not follow him to enter such a mutton soup restaurant, so he also emphasized: "Her dough cakes and mutton soup are unique in Sheguo County."

Hearing Han Zhan say this, Cai Yan knew that it would be impossible not to go in, so he nodded and whispered: "But on Tinghou is the decision."

The guards following behind saw Han Zhan entering a mutton soup restaurant. They knew that these places were mixed and afraid that he would be in danger, so four high-skilled guards pretended to be ordinary diners and followed them into the mutton soup restaurant.

As soon as Han Zhan and the others entered the door, a waiter came up and asked respectfully: "How many are there in your son?"

Han Zhan stared at the other party and saw that the waiter who was running away was the one who had met in Sheguo County. He smiled and asked, "Xiaobai, do you still know this young master?"

Xiaobai looked up and saw that the person in front of him was very kind-faced. After taking a closer look, the person who immediately recognized was Han Zhan, the mute from Jizhou. He said, "So it was..." and was about 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 repeatedly, and at the same time, he flashed his body to the side, nodded and said, "Young Master, please come inside, there is a private room inside, quiet."

Zigu’s new store is much larger than when he was in the county, and there are several special private rooms. Xiaobai brought Han Zhan and the others into the private room, wiped the tabletop with a towel on his shoulder, and asked respectfully: “What do you want to eat when Hou Buzhiting?”

"Your mutton soup is good, so let each of us have one night." Han Zhan remembered the noodle cake that made him feel endlessly, and ordered: "By the way, I'll serve that noodle cake."

"Please wait for a moment," Xiaobai said with a smile on his face: "What you want will come soon."

Not long after Xiaobai left, Zigu took Xiaobai and another waiter, holding a tray and brought the mutton soup and noodles ordered by Han Zhan. After the waiter put the things on the table one by one, Zigu waved him to leave. After the waiter left the private room and closed the door casually, Zigu and Xiaobai quickly greeted Han Zhan: "I have met Tinghou!"

"No gifts, no gifts!" Han Zhan asked Zi Gu with a smile: "Since we parted in Sheguo County, we have not seen you for almost half a year. I didn't expect you to go to Jizhou City to open a store."

"Ge Bie has an uncle who is quite a bit of a thin place. After we left Sheguo County, we came here and opened this mutton soup restaurant with the support of his uncle." Zi Gu explained to Han Zhan: "Fortunately, my soup restaurant tastes good, so the business has been booming."

After waiting for Zi Gu to finish speaking, Han Zhan nodded and said to her: "Zi Gu, if there is anything difficult, just speak up, and this marquis will definitely help you solve it."

When Xiaobai heard Han Zhan say such words, he hurriedly winked at Zi Gu, as if he was hinting at something. But Zi Gu pretended to see nothing, looking at her nose and heart, and standing in front of Han Zhan with her head down, she said nothing.

Han Zhan saw Xiaobai's little movements, quickly coughed gently and said, "Zi Gu, can't you trust me?"

"No, no," Zi Gu waved her hand quickly and said, "Mr. Ting Hou has misunderstood. Although there is a little trouble, I can handle it, so I dare not bother Ting Hou."

As soon as she finished speaking, a noise came from outside the private room. Hearing this sound, Xiaobai's face suddenly turned ashen, and Zi Gu also frowned.

Han Zhan listened to the movement outside, and only heard someone shouting loudly: "Where is the boss? Let her come out immediately, otherwise I will smash her shop."

When Xiaobai heard this voice, the muscles on his face twitched violently. He rolled his sleeves and was about to rush out, but Zi Gu pulled him tightly: "Xiaobai, don't be impulsive, the strong dragon will not suppress the local snake, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

The people outside shouted a few more times, and when they saw that the boss didn't show up, they started to smash the plate and bowl. Seeing that the people outside were making a big fuss, Han Zhan snorted coldly, got up and walked to the door, opened the door and walked out.

He saw that the hall was already in a mess, the table was overturned, and the dishes were broken. Four or five vicious people were still rushing the diners while throwing the dishes hard.

"Stop!" Han Zhan roared suddenly, and after the other party stopped, he said righteously: "In broad daylight, you are not afraid of the king's law?"

A burly middle-aged man walked to Han Zhan, looked him carefully, and sneered, "No wonder Zi Gu didn't want to follow me. She turned out to be a little boy. I advise you to leave early, otherwise I will beat you up and unable to take care of yourself."

As the Jizhou Governor, Han Zhan was actually threatened on his territory. He laughed in anger. He asked the other party and asked, "Who are you? Why do you smash Zigu's store?"

"Boy," said the middle-aged man arrogantly: "Uncle I am Mr. Xiao Hu from the East Gate, nicknamed Zhenshanhu. A few days ago, I came here to drink mutton soup. I fell in love with the boss here and asked her to follow me to enjoy the happiness. Unexpectedly, she was ungrateful and dared to reject me in public and let my face go? If she still refused to follow me today, the uncle would burn the shop with a fire."

"Mr. Zhenshanhu Xiao!" Han Zhan repeated the other party's name and said in a disdainful tone: "It sounds quite scary, but it won't scare me. I advise you to leave obediently and not to harass Zi Gu again in the future, otherwise I will make you worse than death."
