Chapter 158 - 152: Locked Outside the City
Zhao Hanzhang wanted Zhao Erlang to practice martial arts and consume his excess energy, so naturally, she couldn’t let him ride a horse to Wu Castle to pay respects.
So every day, he runs there with people and runs back again, and also listens to Ji Ping’s instructions to help move things and repair houses in the city. In the afternoon, he runs to pay respects and then returns.
Today Ji Ping’s task for them was to move the dried grain to the warehouse, so they were late coming out.
He’s stubborn; his sister said he must visit the elders every morning and evening, so he must do it every day. Therefore, at dusk, he ran to pay respects.
Fu An, who was tasked with recording their grain moving efforts, unknowingly ran out of the city gates with them. When he realized where they were, it was too late to turn around.
After all, he was a servant, and these were the young master’s brother-in-law; he had to give him some face.
So panting heavily, he followed them to Wu Castle, watched Zhao Erlang kowtowing to the Zhao Family’s Fifth Grandfather, then left Wu Castle to return to the city.
Fu An couldn’t help but say, "Second young master, it’s already dark. Isn’t the city gate closed by now?"
Zhao Erlang replied, "Then we’ll call for them to open it. Sister is still waiting for me at home."
He insisted on leading everyone to run towards the city gate.
