Because of Wei Jie’s great fa, Fu Tinghan was also willing to stay for two more days to wait and see this cousin.
Wei Jie had just arrived outside Chen County, queuing to enter, when the soldier checking the carriage saw him and didn’t even look at the pass, imdiately shouting to the person behind, "Quickly tell the Governor that Wei Jie has arrived."
The person behind imdiately ran off.
On the street, people ca and went, and so who had heard the news in advance that Wei Jie was coming had been waiting for two days. Upon seeing the soldier from the city gate running, soone imdiately looked towards the city gate.
Soon, the news of Wei Jie’s entry into the city spread throughout Chen County.
So when Wei Jie, Wang Yu, and others finally entered the city, quite a few people had already run over excitedly, staring at them eagerly.
The carriage had barely moved half a street when soone with courage stepped in front of it, laughing and asking, "Is it Wei Shubao from Hedong in the carriage?"
Wang Yu frowned, very displeased, rode forward, and blocked in front of the carriage, saying, "Who are you? Quickly make way, how dare you block our carriage!"
"You look average and have a big temper, surely you’re not Wei Shubao. I’m asking about the person inside the carriage," that man loudly said, "If it truly is Wei Shubao, why not lift the curtain and let us have a look?"
"Such beauty of the world should be seen by all."
Zhao Hu, leaning on the second-floor windowsill, sneered upon hearing this, casually picked up a cake from the table, and threw it down, hitting that man right on the head.
The man was infuriated by the hit, covering his head as he looked up at the second floor of the tavern, seeing Zhao Hu, he beca even angrier, but had to hold his rage, "Uncle Zhao Qi, what are you doing?"
"Yu Xiao’er, you call uncle, so I must teach you a lesson. Even if Wei Shubao is a beauty for the ages, they are not for your eyes to see," Zhao Hu said, "He is a distinguished guest invited by my grandniece, why are you causing a disturbance here, get lost!"
The window on the second floor of the tavern opposite was suddenly pushed open, and an old man stuck his head out, pointing at Zhao Hu across the street, "Zhao Hu, do you care for your face, this is a matter for the juniors, why are you ddling, an old man like you?"
"I feel like it, what can you do about it?" Seeing him in the neighboring tavern, Zhao Hu realized he had bought the building opposite to compete with him, unleashing the pent-up irritation, "Yu Sanlang, you can only take what I leave behind. I open a tavern, and you open one opposite , why don’t you open sowhere else if you can?"
"I just won’t, I just love opening here, what can you do about it?"
The two elders, combined age over a hundred, leaned out of their windows across the street, pointing and cursing at each other.
The citizens along the street found themselves wanting to see the person in the carriage, then widened their eyes to watch the two elderly n at the taverns, having a hard ti, their heads turning this way and that.
It was the sound of approaching hoofbeats that pulled them back to their senses.
Everyone looked towards the direction of the sound and saw Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan coming side by side.
The citizens imdiately stepped back, making way for them.
Yu Xiao’er also shrank his neck and quickly slipped back into the crowd, pretending not to be the one who blocked the carriage just now.
Zhao Hanzhang reined in her horse, exchanged a smile with the person on horseback and another sitting on the carriage shaft, then dismounted.
Even though Wang Yu and the others had never t Zhao Hanzhang, the reaction of the surrounding people led them to guess her identity, and they dismounted imdiately.
Sitting on the carriage shaft, Wei Cheng whispered inside, "Third Uncle, it seems that Governor Zhao is here."
The curtain lifted, and Wei Jie finally stepped out.
Fu Tinghan dismounted to look at the person in the carriage, slightly raising his eyebrows, indeed quite handso, even modern celebrities with careful packaging might not compare.
This person could be called a star, as dazzling as a star in the sky, yet not glaring.
At the ti, Wei Jie was only twenty-four years old, in his pri, standing among a few people, looking as if he glowed white like jade sculpture. He lifted his gaze and lightly smiled at Fu Tinghan and Zhao Hanzhang standing by the carriage, then got down with the help of a family servant, raised his hand in greeting alongside Wang Yu, "Wei Jie of Hedong pays respects to Governor Zhao."
Zhao Hanzhang responded with a smile, "Cousin, no need for such courtesy. Mother had keep watch early on, and I ca as soon as I received the news. I hope I didn’t startle you?"
Wei Jie was already accustod, gently shaking his head.
Zhao Hanzhang then smiled and looked towards Wang Yu.
Compared to Wei Jie, Wang Yu was much taller and stronger, but also had sharp brows and starry eyes, a fair face, and a heroic deanor; Zhao Hanzhang thought he looked a bit familiar.
But at the mont, she couldn’t think deeply, and Zhao Hanzhang invited them to board the carriage, to take them back to the mansion.
