Chapter 6 The Han family has a son
Cai Heng said: "I obey my husband."
The three people standing next to them showed a hint of surprise on their faces at this moment. They were both surprised by Han Duan's performance this morning, and even more shocked by Cai Heng's attitude towards Han Duan.
In the Han family, Cai Heng's position as the leader of the righteous will definitely exceed the accounting department Li Li, and even slightly higher than the old butler Ning Bo. Even if the head of the family meets him, he must be polite.
Moreover, Han Duan has followed him to practice martial arts since he was a child and is considered half of his apprentice. He has never been as respectful as he has today in front of Han Duan.
But they didn't know, and Cai Heng was even more surprised.
No one knows the boy under sixteen years old better than him. Han Duan used to say little and had no opinion. He only knows how to dance with swords and guns all day long and never cares about things other than martial arts practice.
But this morning, Han Duan's performance completely overturned Cai Heng's previous view of him, he was calm in the face of danger and handled things in an orderly manner, as if everything was in his control.
This is not like something a keen boy can do.
However, in Cai Heng's view, this is Han Duan's steady performance. He restrains his sharpness when there is nothing to do. Once there is something wrong, he can immediately stand up and take on the burden.
It is a great blessing that the Han family has this son!
However, Han Duan did not realize "Han's great blessing" at this time, and he still calmly ordered: "Uncle Fifth, you should keep a close eye at home and never be addicted to drinking and drinking. Uncle Ninth, go and pick twenty capable Ding Zhuang to follow me to Shanyin, and teach me, and you can go with you to check the shop's accounts."
"In the future, you will also have to manage the accounts of all the shops in the Han family. You don't want you to keep an eye on them all day, you just need to take a few days a month to check the accounts."
When Uncle Ning heard that he had no name, he hurriedly said, "Mr., I am willing to go with you."
An old man, who is not as literary as a martial artist, but not as martial as a martial artist, what's the use of going there? Han Duan advised him: "Ning Bo is old, so he can stay with Uncle Wu. However, Han Yinyi can go with him and become familiar with other industries in his family in advance."
"Okay, I'll ask him to come back."
Han Duan reminded: "Leave in another hour, please let him hurry up."
Han Yuanning bowed, turned around and left. The old man in his sixties was still walking like a gust of wind.
Old man Han left, but Cai Heng jumped out again.
"Mr. Lang went to Shanyin, not only to save the head of the family, but also to investigate the Wang clan. There were fewer people going, and I was afraid that there would be not enough envoys at that time."
"Uncle Fifth, if you and Uncle Ninth both go to Shanyin, who will guard the family? Once there is something wrong, it will be beyond the reach of regret."
Han Duan's words are not alarmist.
Although the Southern Chen Kingdom has been in its nine years, its foundation has not been stable. Many local tyrants do not obey the court's restraints, ignore the law, and bully the weak from time to time. Therefore, there are naturally many people who destroy their families or lose their land and become refugees.
These people have no support in food and clothing, so they can only gather in the mountains and forests to do business without any money. Not to mention the distance, just talk about the fact that there are several water bandits appearing in the Jinghu Lake.
If a wealthy family like the Han family had not had strong people, if there were no martial artists and servants to guard the house, they would have been eaten by the bandits so much that they would not even have bones left.
Although Cai Heng felt that Han Duan’s words were true, he still didn’t want to stay at home: “Just let Jiulang stay. If he really couldn’t resist it, take out the ten crossbow machines in the warehouse.”
Zhang Wentai dared not fight with Cai Heng, but Han Duan still felt that it was inappropriate.
The martial artists rely on not only military power, but also wide-minded people.
Cai Heng has outstanding martial arts skills and has met many people. If there is really a bandit coming to cause trouble, he can deal with it. If he pays a little money and sends the bandits away, isn't that much better than a real fight?
But Zhang Wentai did not have this advantage. When the bandits came, they could only rely on their force. Even if they won, they would not be free of casualties. The cost of treatment and pension would cost a lot of money. It would be unprofitable if they thought about it.
Cai Heng also had his reasons: "The small thieves dare not come, the large thieves are all two hundred miles away. When they get the news, I will have returned from Shanyin long ago."
Han Duan could not resist him and had to let him go with him, while Zhang Wentai stayed to guard the door.
…………
The ox cart is scattered, and the sound of birds singing.
Han Duan sat on the ox cart, closing his eyes and napping.
It is strange to say that when he was a lonely soul, he floated around day and night, but he never felt sleepy. After he was reborn, the long-lost feeling of sleepy immediately came up.
Although I feel a little hot in the noon sun, I feel comfortable.
Half an hour later, the ox cart arrived at a small ferry on the bank of Jinghu Lake.
"Mr., I'm here." Han Hu'er stopped the ox cart, turned her head and shouted to the back.
Han Duan opened his eyes and jumped out of the car, turned his head and looked at the lake. With a "squeak" sound, a white tulip boat was slowly shaking.
Han Jing shouted loudly in the voice change period, "Where is the boatman going?"
The boatman is about thirty years old, has a black face and no beard, has a thin figure but a big voice.
"The little man's boat is dedicated to Shanyin County, but as long as the little man is willing to use money, he can go anywhere in Jinghu."
"I am going to Shanyin, the boatman, and we have more than 20 people in total. I wonder if your boat can be loaded?"
"Even if there are a few more people, I can hold it. Xiao Langjun, the boat on this lake is bigger than the villain, and there are only the painting boats that nobles can play with."
As he spoke, the white-paned boat had already shook close to him. Cai Heng and his servants surrounded Han Duan and jumped onto the boat. The boatman smiled and said, "I said who brought these many people to travel, but it turned out to be the young man of the Han family."
Han Duan asked curiously: "How can the boatman know me?"
"The little man lives in Chixu, only about twenty miles away from Shitang, so he knows the husband."
Han Duan suddenly said, "So that's it."
"Is Mr. Lang going to Shanyin to visit the eldest lady?"
“That’s right.”
Han Duan nodded, then sat on the bamboo mat in the white-paned boat, looking leisurely at the rippling lake water. His eyes were a little confused and his words were a little absent-minded.
Why did the sister who had never met and only remain in her memory give him such a friendly feeling?
…………
The eight hundred miles of Jinghu Lake has a vast surface, and the lake water is free of wind and waves. The boats are walking on the lake, and the mountains and rivers are reflected, like paintings entering the mirror.
It was late summer and early autumn, and the sea bass in Jinghu was the most delicious. In addition to the passenger ships with ponies that came and went to transport pedestrians, there were more small fishing boats without ponies that caught ponies and simple lotus boats that picked lotus.
"The girl picking lotus in Yexi, when she saw the guest singing back. She laughed into the lotus flowers and pretended to be ashamed." Han Duan was not interested in the shy lotus in the girl picking lotus, but she looked at the bass caught by the fishermen from afar and glowed.
