After Sang Zi and Ge Ma retreated, Xu Wanzhen held a cup of hot tea with both hands and thought carefully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoI'm going to leave for the capital tomorrow, and I'm inevitably a little scared. It was the political center of the Gao Mang Dynasty, the center of power headed by the emperor, and the center of the vortex of the entire dynasty. In her previous life, she was in it but didn't care or even wanted to escape, but now she has to take the initiative to integrate and find a breakthrough as a merchant's daughter.

The Gaomang Dynasty is completely different from the modern era of the 21 st century; in modern times, everyone worships money, laughs at the poor rather than at prostitutes, and can solve most of the problems with money. And here, Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen are ranked last and have the lowest status, even in Suzhou City, the daughters of officials and merchants are two completely different circles, not to mention in the capital.

In modern times, although there are also privileged classes, but after all, unlike here, the emperor can decide life and death with a word.

In Mama Zheng's narration, there are good ministers and warriors like clouds in the capital, and beautiful sons are like jade. There are as many intrigues as there are generosity and blood. Can he find a way to survive in it and successfully rescue his father and brother? Xu Wanzhen reorganized the important forces in Beijing in her mind.

The first person is, of course, the current emperor Wei Gaozu, who ascended the throne six years ago, which is the age of fifty years when he knows the destiny of heaven, and he is in his prime. Empress Cao is from the Dingguo Mansion, now thirty-six years old, and has three sons and one daughter: the eldest son King Qi, the second son King Chu, the youngest son died at the age of three, and the eldest daughter Princess Zhaoyang.

Wei Gaozu's wife left two sons, the eldest son was canonized as the crown prince after Wei Gaozu ascended the throne, and is now thirty-six years old. The second son was canonized as the king of Qianyang.

Today's emperor is working hard to govern the world, and he doesn't care too much about the harem. After ascending the throne, two selections were made, and there were not many concubines in the palace. Under the queen, there is only one Ye Xianfei on the position of the four concubines, and the favored ones are Liu Zhaoyuan and Shi Jieyu.

In addition to the royal family, the most powerful nobles in the capital are the four pillar states, all of which were heroes at the founding of the country, Cao Jiading Guogong, Shijia An Guogong, Wujia Zhongguo Gong, and Liu Jiaping Guogong. There are Danshu iron coupons, and the title is hereditary. These four families married each other and weaved a network of influence, and they were the top magnates of the Gaomang Dynasty.

For Xu Wanzhen at this moment, whether it is royal or powerful, it is too far away from her. But since the father's and brother's case involves the emperor's heir, if he can successfully enter it, then he will be able to grasp the most authentic information. Where is this breakthrough? Thinking hard and thinking about it can't be helped, Xu Wanzhen smiled bitterly, it seems that she can only go to the capital and take two steps at a time. With Mama Zheng, a person who understands the circle of powerful people in the capital, she must be able to find an opportunity.

Stroking the jade bracelet in her left hand, Xu Wan really thought that it had only been three months since she came to the Gaomang Dynasty, and it became unreal to think of her previous life. I don't know if the previous life was a dream, or this life is a dream? According to some historical knowledge she learned in her previous life, the customs and customs of this dynasty are very similar to those of the Tang Dynasty, but they are not exactly. For example, the city of Suzhou is still called Suzhou, and it also belongs to Jiangnan Province, but the capital of the Tang Dynasty is Chang'an, which is in Luoyang, which is further east. It seems that if you have the opportunity, you have to find two history books of the Gaomang Dynasty to take a look, otherwise this is confused.

When she thought hard about being ugly, Xu Wanzhen went to bed to rest, and the night was a bizarre dream, and the shadow of the masked man a few days ago flashed in the dream, and she slept very unsteadily. When she arrived, Sang Zi came in and called her to get up.

Today is the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the day when the Xu family left for the capital.

Mrs. Xu had already arranged it properly, and although the Xu family's property was sold, the caravan and merchant ships were still there. Four merchant ships were loaded with Suzhou's unique Du weaving silk, silk machine silk, crepe silk, pattern silk, spring silk, Hualuo, Suluo, Daoluo, Hexiluo, Qiuluo and other fabrics, which were transported to the capital of the splendid record. Although Shopkeeper Wu is now helping the He family with the work, he also came to arrange the dispatch in person.

Mrs. Xu, Xu Wanzhen, Xu Wenyu, Han Runiang, and Su Liangzhi, together with the Yulu, Biluo, Sangzi, Huafan, and Nannyo who served them, all lived in a double-story boat. The hull of this building ship is wide and the driving is stable, there are more than ten cabins on the second floor, and the group will not feel the slightest crowd when they live in it, and the boatman, the boatmen and Han Yi live in the cabin on the ground floor. This ship was specially built by the He family for the travel of officials and dignitaries, and the second son of He was specially transferred to send the Xu family to Beijing.

There are also housekeepers, mothers-in-law, coarse mothers-in-law, and little maids, etc., who take two boats according to gender.

As early as Yin, the subordinates of the Xu family moved the suitcases and cages to the ship one by one, and after the masters washed up and had breakfast, they took a carriage to Suzhou Wharf.

The Xu family went to Beijing today, and everyone who got the news came to send it off, and the wharf was bustling and lively for a while.

Wang Zhihua took Wang Miaoyan forward to speak. Wang Zhihua arched his hand and said, "Old Madam Xu, we are all people of this age. Farewell today, I don't know if there will be a day to meet. "There was a sigh.

Old Madam Xu smiled: "Why sigh. Now there is a day to live, and the extra days are earned. Wang Zhihua nodded yes.

On the side, Wang Miaoyan pulled Xu Wanzhen into the carriage to speak, and as soon as he entered the carriage, Wang Miaoyan took off his hat and said, "Wearing this Laoshizi, I can't even breathe." ”

Xu Wanzhen also lifted the hat and did not take it off. The long veil of the hat reaches the ground, it is easy to take off, and it will take some effort to put it on again, and she will get out of the car later, and said: "You can bear with it, but you only wear it when you go out." ”

Wang Miaoyan held Xu Wanzhen's hand and said, "Wanzhen, in Suzhou City, you and I grew up together and are familiar with each other. Now that you're gone, I don't even have someone to talk to. ”

Xu Wan really knew her temperament, and said, "If you keep your eyes lower, the sisters in the family can also get along." ”

When Wang Miaoyan heard this, he said, "Hmph, I'd rather be in a daze in the mirror than play with them." looked at Xu Wanzhen and said, "Okay Wanzhen, you must write to me when you arrive in the capital." Originally, in Layue, my grandfather asked me to go to Beijing with my father to give New Year's gifts to the Chu Palace, but I didn't make the trip. Unexpectedly, you went first. She still concealed the section of the Maple Grove Ferry, and that memory was extremely unpleasant.

Xu Wanzhen responded with a smile, although she didn't feel like a friend in Wang Miaoyan, but in her memory, the original Xu Wanzhen and her were extremely good little sisters.

After Mrs. Xu finished talking to Wang Zhihua, she beckoned the shopkeeper Wu to the side to ask questions. Said: "Is the matter done?"

Shopkeeper Wu Shi Li said: "Please rest assured, old lady, I will release the news during the wax moon, and when I arrive in the capital, the He family will hand over the silver taels to the Xu family." Just in time for the Chinese New Year, Suzhou is a news distribution center, and Jiangnan Province should know about it now. ”

The news that the Xu family sold its property caused a stir in the early winter of the old year, and finally triggered a major reshuffle of the entire textile industry in Jiangnan Province. The He family's purchase of the Xu family's property is even more well known, if there are bandits who think that the Xu family's ship in Beijing has a large amount of silver taels from the sale of the property, it will inevitably be red-eyed and pour out.

Mrs. Xu didn't dare to take this risk, so she asked Shopkeeper Wu to release the news through various channels. Only when the rivers and lakes knew that there was no silver money on the Xu family's ship to Beijing, the group was safe when they went to Beijing.
