After Transmigration: Building a Kingdom in Turbulent Times-Chapter 684 - 677 Business Card_2

The people on both sides of the road were captivated by Wei Jie’s appearance as he got off the carriage, falling silent like chickens. As Wei Jie walked away, the other people were fine, but the girls watching couldn’t help themselves and let out low screams, covering their mouths.

One girl directly pushed aside the people in front of her and shouted at Zhao Hanzhang, "Governor Zhao, are you going to appoint Mr. Wei to an official position?"

Zhao Hanzhang had already mounted her horse and laughed in response, "If so, what of it? If not, what of it?"

The girls only heard the first part and immediately screamed, "I want to join the government too, Governor, Magistrate, please let me work alongside Mr. Wei!"

Wei Jie stiffened his back, pausing in his movement to get on the carriage, and couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang sat on her horse and burst into laughter, saying, "Alright, as long as you can join the bureaucracy, strive for it on your own skills."

As these words came out, countless screams erupted from both sides of the street and the taverns on either side; not only the women, but even some men couldn’t help feeling excited.

If one could work with Wei Jie, just seeing him every day would greatly improve one’s mood.

Love for beauty is universal.

Zhao Hanzhang motioned for Wei Jie to get on the carriage.

Wei Jie nodded to her and bent down to enter.

Fu Tinghan’s gaze moved back and forth between Wei Jie, Zhao Hanzhang, and Wang Yu, finally understanding who they resembled, and he smiled, saying to Zhao Hanzhang, "You three look somewhat alike."

Zhao Hanzhang was taken aback, "Us?"

Fu Tinghan nodded, "And Second Son, especially your brows and skin, all with heroic brows and very pale skin, your features somewhat similar, only Wei Jie stands out the most. Wang Yu and Second Son resemble each other the most."

Zhao Hanzhang fell silent for a moment at his words, deciding to delay the matter and prioritize sending Wei Jie and the others back to their residence.

She quickly glanced at both sides of the tavern, and Yu Sanlang greeted her kindly as she looked over, smiling and raising his hand in salute, while Zhao Hu snorted but also behaved, ceasing the distant argument with Yu Sanlang across the street.

Because they were relatives, Zhao Hanzhang directly arranged for guest accommodations in the Inspector Mansion where they stayed, inviting them to settle in.

Mrs. Wang had been waiting, pacing anxiously inside the house. Upon hearing movement, she immediately stepped outside to greet, catching sight of a jade-like figure approaching her. Slightly stunned, she immediately went forward to exchange greetings with Wei Jie.

Having a close relationship with Wei Jie as cousins, she then exchanged courtesies with Wang Yu.

Mrs. Wang was thrilled yet somewhat melancholic, "I haven’t seen my cousin in many years, it’s surprising how much you’ve grown and how you somewhat resemble your cousin brother."

Wei Jie smiled and asked, "Cousin sister, are you referring to Cousin Zhi Zhi?"

Mrs. Wang nodded tearfully.

Zhao Hanzhang held her tea in a daze; wasn’t that her father?

Because of this resemblance, Mrs. Wang and Wei Jie engaged in pleasant conversation, knowing that his health was poor, she did not let him engage too much in conversation, gently saying, "I’ve arranged the guest courtyard, my cousins can first freshen up and rest, and we’ll chat again at dinner in the evening."

Wei Jie quickly looked at Zhao Hanzhang, who smiled and stood up, saying, "Uncle, let Ting Han take you down to rest."

Fu Tinghan and Zhao Hanzhang nodded and took them down to rest.

After they left, Zhao Hanzhang turned to her mother, "Mom, does Wei Jie truly resemble father?"

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears while glaring at her, saying, "Rude, you should call him Uncle."

She said, "Yes, very much so, especially with that frail look, even more similar."

Zhao Hanzhang held her tea and began to worry, "Earlier, Ting Han said Second Son resembles Wang Yu, I think he does look a bit like him too."

Mrs. Wang shrugged, "You all have Wang Family blood, isn’t it natural to look alike?"

She said, "Our Taiyuan Wang Family is famously good-looking, moreover, your maternal grandfather from the Zhong Family was exceptionally beautiful, your pale skin comes from her, your brows from our Wang Family, and your features resemble your grandfather."

Zhao Hanzhang spoke earnestly, "In the future, our family’s descendants should not marry within three generations to the Wang Family or those related to the Wang Family."

Mrs. Wang, hearing this, became displeased and asked, "What’s wrong with the Wang Family? Our Wang family is not only good-looking but also talented, comparable to other noble families. Of course, your maternal family is not worth mentioning, but there are several strong branches of the Wang Family, why shouldn’t we marry them?"

Zhao Hanzhang replied, "Mother, marriages with close blood relations aren’t good, you and father were cousins, the blood relation was too close."

"How is it close? We don’t share the same surname and aren’t direct cousins. There’s a generation gap between us," Mrs. Wang grumbled, "Earlier, I regretted that gap, leading to the short time spent with your father."

Seeing Mrs. Wang weep, Zhao Hanzhang swallowed her words and teasingly said, "Since you say Wei... Uncle resembles my father, then you can visit him often, just like seeing my father."

"Nonsense, you like to talk rubbish," Mrs. Wang said, "Though they may resemble each other, their characters are entirely different; your father, despite being frail, loved to laugh and was very mischievous, in that aspect, Second Son somewhat resembles him."

Zhao Hanzhang imagined a face of Wei Jie with Second Son’s personality, shivering at the thought, and immediately stood up, "Mom, I’ll go see Uncle Ming first, I’ll come back later to ask whether Uncle and the others will go with me to Luoyang or stay in Chen County."

The whole of Chen County became excited with Wei Jie’s arrival, Zhao Ming noticed the change with a slight smile and said to Zhao Hanzhang, "This is a true celebrity. If you can invite more such talents, Chen County may not need you to worry about economic matters, merchants would flock here naturally."

Zhao Hanzhang replied, "Uncle Ming speaks the truth, which is why I plan to take them to Luoyang."

Zhao Ming furrowed his brows, "Luoyang?"

He said, "Luoyang is very tough now, would they be willing?"

Zhao Hanzhang said, "Where isn’t tough these days? Since Wei Jie has taken the step to head north, I believe he can endure such hardship."

Zhao Ming twirled his wine cup, asking, "You plan to use him to draw people to Luoyang?"

Zhao Hanzhang said, "If Wei Jie shines in Luoyang, would those feeling restricted after heading south want to return north?"

To put it plainly, even if Wei Jie didn’t do anything, Zhao Hanzhang intended to support him, using him as a business card to attract as many people as possible.

Zhao Ming pondered for a moment, not opposing.

Zhao Hanzhang downed the wine in her cup in one go, placing the cup down, "Let them rest for a day tomorrow, then we’ll swiftly return to Luoyang."
