When I entered, I felt that the alley was far longer and wider than the general alley, and I walked only a few dozen zhang away, and in a wall about fifty or sixty zhang long on the right side, several plane trees had grown out of the high wall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

An old begonia tree leaning against the wall is poking out a section of tangled branches.

There is a vermilion lacquer gate in the middle, and the lantern under the door is written with the word "Han", and there is a corner gate on the corner of each end of the alley.

Although it is a corner gate, but because it is a mansion built according to the official system of Zhengyipin, it is actually wider than the main gate of Shen Mansion, especially the southeast corner gate is the door for the daily entry and exit of the master and servant of the mansion, so there are many people who come and go, and an alley next to the door, the small merchants are endless, but gradually formed a place where the traders gather.

Shen Xi never imagined what Wen Chan looked like now.

That year, she was taken back to Beijing from Huizhou, and she was dumbfounded since she entered the city gate.

When she entered Zhang's mansion, her chin was about to fall, standing under the hanging flower door, looking at the rotating palace lamp under the corridor without blinking, only thinking that the turning light there was a monster, and she didn't dare to come out with her back against the door frame.

If Zhang Ying hadn't found out that she was holding her instead, she wouldn't even be able to walk!

Shen Xi has never discriminated against her background, but she, a country woman who has never seen the world at all, can finally be qualified to become an old lady in this wealthy family, but it is all because of the Zhang family! And she didn't earn it by her own efforts.

The car is parked on the side of the street.

She leaned against the car window and raised her lips, retracted her gaze and stared for a moment, and then pointed to an old woman selling flowers in the crowd not far away, and explained to Yuanbei: "You go to the front to buy a few sugar gourds first, and let them wrap them in oil paper and bring them back to Brother Liang to eat." Then I invited the old woman to the car, and I picked a few flowers with her. You're guarding under the car, don't come up until you are not called. ”

Yuanbei agreed.

Shen Xi looked at the passers-by nearby by the window.

Except for the vendors, most of the people on the road were young men and women, all of whom were walking heartily in the spring light, talking and laughing.

In the meantime, there are naturally crepe scholars and delicate ladies, the men don't feel anything, but the women are covered with gauze on their faces, resting in the men and women all over the city, quite deliberately exquisite.

The folk customs of the Tuoba people are indeed much more open than those of Daqin.

"Get in the car."

While speaking, Yuanbei had already hugged a bundle of wrapped sugar gourds to the car, turned around and called the old woman over.

The old woman glanced at Shen Xi through the car window, and immediately bowed down and got into the car.

Shen Xi looked at her and bent her lips slightly, although there was no other movement, and her left arm was still casually resting on the car window, but only this calm and graceful attitude had made the old woman feel unconsciously restrained.

Tuoba women are hearty and informal, although there are also elegant and gentle, but how many can there be like the one in front of her?

She has seen a lot of beautiful ladies in and out of the Han Mansion, but in the end, she has a good demeanor that makes people more attractive.

"Dare to ask Miss, what kind of flowers do you want?"

She handed the basket of flowers forward, and the basket full of blooming flowers suddenly exuded a stronger fragrance through her playing.

Shen Xixin took a sprig of magnolia from her: "How long has my mother-in-law been selling flowers in this area?" ”

"It's been more than ten years!" The old woman said enthusiastically, "The slave family is the person on the periphery of this Luer Hutong, who used to be young and helped in other people's homes, and when he was old, he started this business."

"Miss, don't worry, the flowers of the slave family are all fresh, the old man of the slave family is the florist of the big family, and the flower seedlings are all good!"

It's been more than 10 years.

In other words, she has been here since the Han family made a fortune.

Shen Xi took another branch of peony and paused at his fingertips, then looked at her: "I will give two coins of silver, and I will spend all of them." ”

The old woman was stunned, and there was a light in her eyes! She is a thoughtful person, a basket of flowers can only be sold for a hundred dollars at most, Shen Xi can buy it for two dollars of silver, isn't it obviously cheap?!

Overjoyed, she couldn't help but feel tempted: "What else does Miss have to say?" ”

There is no white pie in the sky, she still understands this truth.

Shen Xi smiled: "I don't have any orders, but there are a few things I want to ask you." ”

She pulled out a piece of silver and laid it out.

The old woman hurriedly said, "Miss, please speak." The slave must know everything. ”

Shen Xi nodded: "I came from the south to do business, and I heard that this Han Mansion is very powerful, so I want to inquire about the situation." Where did the Han family live? What did the ancestor of the Han family do? How I hadn't heard of it before. ”

"It's easy!" When the old woman heard that she was just inquiring about the situation of the Han family, she immediately cleared her throat and said: "The old name of the Han Pavilion is Han Dun, before the Great Zhou Dingguo, the Han family lived in Xicheng, and the old lady of the Han family was originally a commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division during the period of Emperor Qin Ling, and her family background is not prominent, and the girl is from the south, so it is normal that she has not heard of it."

"But about fifty years ago, Zhang Jie, the minister beside Emperor Qin Ling, married his adopted daughter to the Han family.

Zhang Xie is the descendant of the Yanjing Zhang family, who was famous in the past, and the daughter of the Zhang family may not even be able to marry the prince in the palace in the past dynasties, but Zhang Xie and his wife married their adopted daughter who was trained by themselves to a small commander.

Later, the Han family gradually rose, especially after Han Ge was born, the old lady who personally raised him sent him to study in the Zhangjia School.

"Han Ge Lao is a talented and intelligent child, who is not inferior to the Zhang family from a family, and then sure enough, after the Great Zhou Dynasty settled the country, he entered the six ministries, and later the first emperor died, and the queen mother appointed him as the first assistant of the cabinet.

"It's amazing now."

The old woman said it throughout, and the words were full of awe.

Shen Xi was at the bottom of Mama Liu's words a long time ago, and he was able to stay very calm at this moment.

Sure enough, she guessed correctly, Wen Chan did get out of her case safely, and she was still using the Zhang family for a long time after that.

It's just that this little commander surnamed Han, but she really doesn't have any impression.

"You said that the Han family is not prominent, so why did Zhang Ge marry his adopted daughter to him back then?" She frowned.

"This concubine's body is not clear."

Gossip about right and wrong seems to be the instinct of this old woman, and when she says this, she has completely relaxed: "The Zhang family's marriage didn't make much waves in Beijing back then, after all, she was not her own daughter."

"Moreover, because the Han family is not prominent, not many people are particularly impressed. If it weren't for the fact that the Han family made a fortune, people suddenly became interested in the history of their family, and I'm afraid no one would remember it. ”

Shen Xi thought so.

Even if the Zhang family never doubted Wen Chan, they would never treat her marriage as if it were their own.

In the end, she only entered the Zhang family because of Zhang Ying, Zhang Ying is gone, Zhang Xie and the Xiao family can find a reliable family to marry, and then pay a dowry can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.

Besides, after so much time, it is reasonable that others have no impression.
