While walking, he thought, unconsciously, Gao Yuan had returned to his mansion, and at this time, Geng Zhong and the others were waiting for him to return to the palace at the door, because they all knew that Gao Yuan led troops to protect Li Mu into the palace early this morning, and if he didn't say it, he might go into the palace, which was not a joke, so everyone was sweating, and they couldn't even eat lunch.

Fortunately, there has been no fighting, and the plateau has returned, so everyone is relieved, but they also want to know what the situation is today. So everyone's eyes were on Geng Zhong, although Gao Yuan had only lived in the mansion for less than three months, Geng Zhong had already gained his trust, and now only he was qualified to ask Gao Yuan.

Geng Zhong took a step forward and was about to speak, Gao Yuan said, "Uncle Zhong, has the lunch in the house been opened?" ”

In fact, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and it should have been lunch a year ago, and Gao Yuan just asked casually, but Geng Zhong said: "Hui Yu, we are waiting for the return of the adults, and we haven't had lunch yet." ”

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Okay, let's go to dinner, and when we finish eating, come to the lobby to gather, I have something to say, my lunch will be sent to the inner room, and let Yan Yu accompany me to eat." ”

Geng Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, please go to the inner hall to rest first, and lunch will be delivered soon." ”

Gao Yuan came to the inner room, and at this time Geng Yanyu was sorting out and copying various books. Although Gao Yuan only lived in Handan for more than three months, he bought a large number of books and borrowed a lot of books from Li Mu, totaling more than 100 books.

Nearly half of them are scholars, including more than a dozen kinds of military books that have been lost in later generations, such as the famous [Sima Law], which originally had a total of 20 volumes and 155 articles, but only three volumes and five articles were left in later generations, and [Sima Law] is the same as [Wu Qi's Art of War], only six articles were passed on to later generations, but in fact there were forty-eight articles, but in this era, these military books can receive the whole book. The others are all works of hundreds of schools, and of course, there are also unique books and remnants of later generations.

Therefore, Takahara sometimes wonders what kind of sensation he will have if he brought these books back to modern society.

However, before the invention of papermaking, more than 100 books were nothing, a large box could be filled, at most only 100 catties, but in this era, all of them are bamboo books, more than 100 books are enough to fill a small study, and the weight may reach thousands of catties, and if you take it away, it will be loaded with two or three cars. Therefore, later generations left an idiom of "sweat cattle are full", that is, the books of this era are very heavy, and it is very difficult to carry, enough to exhaust the cow.

Because these books are all copied by hand, it is inevitable that there will be some misunderstandings, and some of them are borrowed, so of course the work of sorting out these books falls on Geng Yanyu's shoulders, and since he is a borrowed book, he needs to copy a copy. Books that are quite copied do not use bamboo slips, but are copied in all Chinese silk, and writing books with silk is a very luxurious thing, because silk books were equivalent to hardcover books at that time.

Seeing that Gao Yuan was back, Geng Yanyu immediately got up to greet him and said, "Lord Fujun is back." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Have you finished copying all the books you borrowed?" ”

Geng Yanyu said: "It's all copied. Now the concubine is copying other books. ”

Gao Yuan shook her hand and said, "I've worked hard for you this time." ”

Geng Yanyu smiled and said, "Serving Lord Tianjun is the duty of a concubine, and there is a lot of hard work." ”

Although Geng Yanyu is only the concubine of the plateau, there is no lady in the plateau now, so Geng Yanyu is the mistress of the plateau's inner room. However, for more than two months, Gao Yuan trained troops outside the city almost every day, and also handed over the affairs of the mansion to Geng Yanyu and Geng Zhong to deal with. Foreign affairs are managed by Geng Zhong and others, so there is no need to worry about Gao Yuan, and Geng Yanyu, as the mistress of the inner room, also manages the inner room in an orderly manner, so that after Gao Yuan returns home, he can get full rest and don't have to worry about the trivial matters in the house.

In the past, Gao Yuan's feelings for Geng Yanyu were mainly sympathy, and of course he loved her beauty very much, but after getting along for more than two months, he found that Geng Yanyu was not only outstanding in appearance, but also knowledgeable and reasonable, gentle and virtuous, delicate in thinking, and obedient to Gao Yuan, so Gao Yuan gradually really liked her.

At this time, Geng Zhong had ordered someone to bring lunch, and when the two of them were eating, Gao Yuan also told Geng Yanyu what happened in the palace this morning and Li Mu's decision, including Li Yinghong's formal marriage proposal.

After listening to Gao Yuan's speech, Geng Yanyu was also shocked, Li Yinghong's marriage to her was not surprised, after all, this is a matter of time, and Li Yinghong also admitted her position in zài, but did not expect the situation to develop to this point, although the plateau did not attack the palace, but Li Mu was assassinated, almost killed, even Li Mu was forced to withdraw from Handan, to Daijun to stand on his own, and of course Gao Yuan also had to follow Li Mu's actions, and it can even be said that Li Mu came to this point, but also the result of Gao Yuan's efforts.

Gao Yuan said: "I am blessed by the general's knowledge, and he will also marry Yinghong to me, so I must follow the general, leave Handan together, and settle in Quyang, but after leaving Handan, the future is uncertain, it may be very dangerous, and life in Quyang is definitely not as comfortable as Handan, so if you don't want to leave with me, I won't ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Geng Yanyu and said: "Husband, the concubine body already belongs to the husband, naturally you have to follow the husband, what kind of hardships and hardships will you face, and you will not hesitate to do anything, the concubine does not seek glory and wealth, only the husband can let the concubine accompany the husband to serve on the left and right of the husband, and let the concubine leave the husband, unless there is no tomb in the mountains, the river is exhausted, the winter thunder, the summer rain and snow, just ask the husband not to ask the concubine such a question in the future." ”

Gao Yuan gently took her in his arms and said, "Okay, I said it wrong, I will never ask you such a question in the future." ”

Geng Yanyu hurriedly said: "There, it's the concubine's mistake, in fact, the husband is also thinking about the concubine, and the concubine shouldn't talk to the husband like this." ”

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Why are you wrong?" Obviously, I said something that I shouldn't have said, okay, since you are sure to leave Handan with me, then after eating, you start to clean up your things, pack your bags, and the morning after tomorrow, we will leave, and we will take these books with us. ”

Geng Yanyu hurriedly said: "Yes, the concubine must start cleaning up immediately." ”

After eating, Gao Yuan came to the front hall, and at this time, the middle and upper level administrators of the mansion had also gathered in the lobby, with a total of more than forty people. Gao Yuan told everyone about the simple things in the morning, and everyone was shocked.

Gao Yuan said: "After I withdraw from Handan with Wu Anjun, I will no longer be a minister of Zhao State, and I may even be condemned as a rebel by Zhao State, so if any of you are unwilling to leave with me, it is reasonable, and you can stay at your own convenience." ”

Geng Zhong was just about to speak, Gao Yuan had already waved his hand, stopped his speech, and said: "Now I don't need you to express your position immediately, and those who want to leave don't have to resign to me, go to the account room to find Mr. Han Sheng to get five taels of gold, and then you can leave." But you must leave today, and tomorrow morning, those who remain will gather here, and I will assign you tasks. He turned to Han Sheng and said, "Mr. Han, if anyone comes to the account to receive the gold, they must distribute it to them in full, but they are not allowed to add up evil words, understand no." ”

Han Sheng hurriedly said: "Back to the adult, the villain understands." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, it's decided." ”

Now in the mansion of the plateau, Yan Zhong, Han Sheng, Guo Chen, and Yao Shaosi turned out to be Li Mu's disciples, and their loyalty can certainly be guaranteed, and Zhong Sun Qi, Wu Zhanpeng, Wu Hongyan and others have special identities, and they have to negotiate with Wu Lie when they go and stay, and they don't need to deal with Gao Yuan.

The practice of the plateau is mainly aimed at the former family members of this mansion. In fact, in this era, the vast majority of family members are vassals of the master, and their status is not much better than that of slaves, and they are basically obedient to the master. And the family is also required to be absolutely loyal to the master. Therefore, the general minister wants to rebel, and the reuse is his own family.

But after all, Gao Yuan's thoughts are different from this era, he has only been in the mansion for less than three months, and he doesn't have any deep feelings with this group of people, so it is difficult to say that they are willing to follow their own adventures, if their hearts are not aligned, even if they are forced to follow them now, they may find an opportunity to escape in the future, and the impact will be even greater at that time. Therefore, Gao Yuan decided that everyone would voluntarily, and those who wanted to go with him could stay, and those who wanted to leave would be given a fee to leave on their own.

In this way, although the number of people will be reduced, the benefits will be in the unity of the people, and the strength will be stronger. Moreover, the people who stay can also prove to be trustworthy, and these people can be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future. However, Gao Yuan also knew that some people might not lose face, so they didn't have to say goodbye to themselves, and asked Han Sheng not to speak ill of these people.

Gao Yuan had just left the lobby, and Geng Zhong immediately followed, "My lord." ”

Gao Yuan stopped and said, "Uncle Zhong, is there something wrong?" ”

Geng Zhong said: "The old slave is willing to follow the adult and will not regret it until he dies." I just hope that the adults can treat the young lady well in the future. Although everyone in the house now respectfully calls Geng Yanyu his wife, only Geng Zhong still calls Geng Yanyu a young lady, but Gao Yuan and Geng Yanyu did not let him change his words. Moreover, Geng Yanyu has always honored Geng Zhong as his loyal uncle, and even Gao Yuan has followed Geng Yanyu to call Geng Zhong like this.

Gao Yuan nodded, although he also knew that Geng Zhong was willing to follow him, and it was because of Geng Yanyu's relationship, but it also proved that Geng Zhong's loyalty was indeed very rare, it seemed that this old man could indeed be trusted in the future, so he nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely treat Yan Yu well in the future, if you want to leave with us, then hurry up and pack your things, prepare your luggage, and do a good job in the aftermath of the house, there will be a lot of things tomorrow." ”
