In a large house, one person was lying on it obliquely, two maids half squatting and half kneeling gently tapping their legs, one bent over and tapping their shoulders, and there were pastries on the table, the man pointed at it, and the maid hurriedly stepped forward and gently pinched it with her hand and put it to her mouth, biting it and nodding her head again and again.

There were several people standing respectfully behind him, and one stepped forward, "Master, are you comfortable?" ”

"A little more force in the back!"

The man's face suddenly sank, "If you dare to be lazy, I won't give you food!" The maid was so frightened that her body trembled, and her hand suddenly increased her strength, and the man sighed, and the house slave roared: "Is it intentional!" Fist swing.

"Slaves don't dare." The maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground.

"What a big deal?"

"Master, what I said is that it's all because the villain's voice is out of proportion!"

The man waved his hand, "Go on!" The maid got up, strengthened her fists, and glanced at it, the man's eyes were slightly closed, and he enjoyed it very much, and immediately put his mind at ease, so the formation can be seen that it must be either rich or expensive, ordinary people still have to run for a living, how can they have such leisure to enjoy here, footsteps sounded, a person walked in quickly, saw the situation in front of him, hesitated and came to the front.

The house slave stepped forward, "What's the matter?" ”

Came to the human: "Someone came from outside, saying that he wanted to see the master." ”

"Forget it, who can see it? You always have to ask about your identity, and how many times have I taught you that I just don't care. ”

The family was stunned for a moment, and the house slave said, "Why don't you go yet?" ”

"The man handed the villain a thing, saying that he would definitely see him when he saw it."

"Take it and see!" The family's palms were spread out, but it was just a worthless thing, and the house slave took it and brought it to the front of the man, his eyes were slightly leaking, and he took a look, but his eyes widened instantly, and the whole person fell directly from the chair.

"Master, did you fall? Quick, help up. ”

The family behind him hurriedly stepped forward, and the man was helped up from the ground, "Where is the person?" ”

"Right at the door."

Running away, completely ignoring it with bare feet, the house slave was stunned for a moment, what is the identity of this person, it is the first time to see the master so nervous, and he hurriedly picked up the shoes on the side and quickly followed.

The man came to the door, a carriage stopped in front of the door, followed by a few people, all wearing the usual clothes, no wonder the family members could not see the identity of the other party, they were all the masters who recognized people by looking at the clothes, and now they really saw the wrong God, and knelt on the ground, "I don't know that the queen mother is here, and the old slave deserves death." ”

The curtain was lifted, and Mrs. Zhao smiled behind her, "After so many years, I thought I had forgotten it a long time ago, but I didn't want to remember!" ”

The man raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes, "Without the Queen Mother, there would be no old slave today, and the Queen Mother's grace will never dare to forget." ”

"Hurry up, get old, go in and talk."

"Welcome to the Queen Mother!" The man stood up and stood respectfully aside, the carriage slowly drove in, and the house slave stepped forward, "Master, put it on." ”

"Okay, bring the best snacks, remember the best kind."

The carriage stopped, someone stepped forward and lifted the curtain, Empress Dowager Zhao walked down slowly, looked at the courtyard and nodded again and again, "It's also elegantly arranged!" ”

The man said: "I like these bottles and cans on weekdays, but I am afraid that I will not be able to get into the eyes of the Queen Mother, and if the Queen Mother likes to send them all to the palace." ”

"No, when I leave the palace today, I am reminiscing about the past, I haven't seen anyone for many years and I am old, and those who are anxious have followed the king, and secondly, I have something to ask for!"

The man hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother's words, there is no ambiguity in going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao nodded, "Don't worry, who are there at home?" ”

"Two sons, three grandsons!"

"Wow, if there are more children and grandchildren, there will be more blessings, and people will follow the spirit."

A child approached, his chubby little face was very cute, and he looked at it with a little curiosity and a little jealousy, "I haven't come to see the Queen Mother!" ”

"My grandson has seen the Queen Mother!"

"Get up, come here." The Empress Dowager Zhao looked up and down and said yes, although Zhao Wangdan married a woman, she never moved, and reached out and took out a thing from her arms, "This was given to the Queen Mother by your grandfather back then, and now the Queen Mother gave it to you, if you want to be the Queen Mother, take this into the palace." ”

"Grandson Empress Dowager Xie." After speaking, he took over the small object, which was the thing that the family handed over to the master, the child ran away quickly, and the Empress Dowager Zhao's eyes went away, "What a good child, he will inevitably become the pillar of Zhao Guodong in the future!" We are all old, and the only thing Zhao Guo can rely on is these young people. ”

"With the words of the Queen Mother, the old slave is relieved."

The two exchanged pleasantries, what they said was just some trivial matters, and they always had to get to the point, the Empress Dowager Zhao approached and whispered a few words in the man's ear, and the man nodded again and again after hearing this, and stood up, "The Queen Mother can rest assured, this matter will be handed over to the old slave, and it will be done properly for the Queen Mother!" ”

The compound was suddenly busy, calling the family to secretly advise, more than a dozen figures walked out quickly, the feet did not stop, the time passed slowly, the delicate pastries were taken, and the person said: "The Queen Mother tastes it, although it is not as good as the palace, it has a little more special taste!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhao picked up a piece and put it in front of her nose, "You are still careful, there is a taste of home here!" ”

"Since Zhao Guo has never been back, think about it for almost thirty years."

Empress Dowager Zhao bit a piece and nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious, it seems to be thirty years younger all of a sudden, and it's still the taste of the year, it's so delicious." After speaking, he nodded again and again, and the man always stood aside with a respectful face, and the family in the house finally knew that the woman with a kind face in front of him was the mother of the current king, the Empress Dowager Zhao.

One by one, the carriages drove out, stopped in front of the gate of the mansion, and the figures walked down from above, there was no shortage of unstable old men with sticks, everyone was very familiar with each other, greeted each other, entered the courtyard gate and bowed down, "Queen Mother." ”

"It's not like the palace here, you don't have to care about those rules, and you can rest assured when you see that everyone is still strong!"

"Thanks to the Queen Mother."

Everyone sat down, all of them are the old clans of Handan, compared to the different clans that are attached to Zhao Mu, most of these people have followed King Huiwen to make war exploits, and they are deeply rooted in Handan, the most important thing is to be absolutely loyal to the Zhao State, the Empress Dowager Zhao's move is nothing more than to solve the grain and grass of the Changping army, Handan has no grain but the treasury is insufficient, it does not mean that these clans do not have it in their hands, so they found a domestic slave in their past, and now they are also in the clan, and they have a high prestige in the clan.

The man stood up, "Brothers, calling everyone here today is for the Zhao Kingdom, for our future generations, everyone knows that Changping is fighting, it's not easy!" Wei and Korea were afraid of Qin and did not dare to send troops, only our Zhao people had hard bones and dared to fight head-on with the Qin army. ”

"Don't be afraid, the Qin people are also raised by their fathers and mothers, and they will also see blood if they stab into it."

"Yes, play our prestige."

The man waved his hand, and everyone stopped making noise, "I will invite you here today for one thing, borrow food, the Queen Mother said that if you don't want to borrow, don't hide it, it's more love and less duty." ”

The voice fell, everyone immediately discussed, one person held a stick in his hand and always had a smile on his face, from the moment he saw the Empress Dowager Zhao, he had guessed that it would not be a good thing, this kind of borrowing is no different from wanting, the Empress Dowager has to have some scruples when she opens her mouth, but how much is the most particular, not too much, too much will inevitably reveal wealth, how to deal with the next lack of food, too little face will inevitably be unbearable.

Everyone was talking about it, and no one was willing to take the initiative to speak, Mrs. Zhao looked at everyone with a smile behind her, the old family slave had already made it clear, and she was still a little sure about borrowing grain from the old clan this time.

The old family slave coughed and stood up again, "Since everyone is reluctant to speak, then the Qinghou Mansion will come first." Everyone's eyes came, and the man shouted, "Twenty thousand quintals!" ”

"Twenty thousand quintals, that's a lot."

"It's too much, and there's not so much harvest in a year."

"The Queen Mother is close to people, but there is a lot more land than us."

"That's right, how much do you give?"

One person stretched out a finger, "Ten thousand quintals?" ”

The man shook his head, "A thousand quintals." ”

"Too little, the Queen Mother is not good-looking."

"I can only give 3,000 quintals, otherwise everyone will go hungry."

"It makes sense."

"Five thousand quintals."

"Three thousand quintals." …… Everyone reported the number of burdens, one person carefully recorded, Empress Dowager Zhao secretly thought to herself, there were no less than 20 people in the old family at the scene, and they could always raise more than 100,000 loads of food, although they could not last long, they could always solve the urgent need, this move was not only for Ya'er, but also for Dan'er and the entire Zhao country, I just hope to be able to cheer up and prosper Zhao Guo as soon as possible.
