Chapter 427: Luoyang Upstart

Huang Wudie and Yi Ji finally accepted Liu Xian's explanation.

Why should a woman be embarrassed by a woman? They all know now that Ma Guiren is really not easy, they are all hard-working women.

And most importantly, Ma Guiren and Liu Shuo, the original king of the plains, only have the name of husband and wife but not the reality of husband and wife. Ma Guiren himself is still a complete body, as Liu Xian said to them, she is still a yellow flower girl. Since this is the case, it is not too difficult for them to be with Liu Xian.

Age may be an issue, after all, if you want to be more serious, Ma Guiren is indeed more than a circle older than Liu Xian. But what is there about it? At least, it seems that they all think that Ma Guiren is not old, at most he is in his twenties, just like their sister next door.

A woman in her thirties and forties, if she is in the future generations, is really not old. As the standard of living increases, women who do not have to work too hard are generally able to prolong their puberty. Don't compare it with those really rich families and celebrities, that is, women from ordinary families, they usually only need to pay proper attention to their diet, avoid overeating, and take a little maintenance, so even if they are in their forties, they still look so young and beautiful.

Of course, in this ancient era, it is natural that it cannot be compared with the prosperous period of later generations. In this ancient era, generally speaking, when a woman is over thirty, it is easy to grow old, and if she reaches forty, she will basically look old, and she can live to be fifty or sixty women, that is, old women. But this only refers to ordinary people, a rich and noble woman like Ma Guiren, her living environment and conditions are much better than those rich families in later generations. Because of this, Ma Guicai does not look old at all.

No matter what, the two daughters were able to accept Liu Xian and Ma Guiren, which is a good thing.

Ma Guiren hasn't gotten up yet, and she tossed for too long last night, causing her to still look weak. Liu Xian confessed that Xiao Tao brought it to the room early to give Ma Guiren, and also instructed Xiao Tao to boil some chicken soup such as ginseng to replenish Ma Guiren's body.

There are still a lot of things that Liu Xian has to deal with, and he has to deal with them all by himself.

Whether he planned to come or was summoned by the emperor, but since he came to Luoyang, Liu Xian had to manage it well, at least he had to establish himself in the capital of Luoyang, and he wanted to get something beneficial to himself. For example, profit, power, or fame, etc.

And Liu Xian also knew very well that the imperial court summoned Ma Guiren to Beijing, and now he has summoned himself to the capital. This is definitely not a good thing, and he must want to put himself and Ma Guiren to death. Before this goal was achieved, Liu Xian did not want to leave the capital of Luoyang.

Let's put it this way, if Liu Xian said that he was going to leave the capital and go home, without the consent of the emperor, it would be tantamount to absconding with bad intentions. When Liu Xian left the capital, he would be wanted by the imperial court, and it was not surprising that he would be beaten as a rebel.

Therefore, Liu Xian could not show that he wanted to leave the capital of Luoyang, but had to put on an attitude of staying in the capital Luoyang for a long time. As much as possible, the imperial court should not have an excuse to openly target itself.

Therefore, the first thing Liu Xian wanted to do was to build a large number of buildings and renovate this plain palace. How can I say that the palace must also have the appearance of a palace, right?

When Liu Xian was with Ma Guiren last night, he had already talked to her about these things. However, it was naturally impossible for Ma Guiren to come forward to do these things in person, and the old housekeeper she brought was not there, so Liu Xian decided to hand over these things to Yi Ji for the time being.

Anyway, when expanding Liu's Mansion in Liulin Village, Yi Ji also participated, and she also had her own ideas and opinions on the construction of some houses and palaces.

To do these things, the main thing is to contact some plasterers and so on, which can be sent by Yi Ji to find someone to do it. In addition, if you need to expand, you must first find out which households around the Plains Palace, and if you can, buy the houses of those households and expand the buildings of the Plains Palace.

But this should be more difficult for the time being, because most of the mansions around the Plains Mansion are also mansions like the Plains Palace, and those who can live in these mansions should not be ordinary people. It's just that, relatively speaking, this area is already a little far away from the area where the real rich and powerful live, and it can be inferred that the owners of these mansions, even if they are not ordinary people, are not too powerful people, or there are ways to get them.

Liu Xian brought more than 300 people into the city this time, and if Zhao He could release the original four or five hundred people back, then the Plains Mansion would suddenly have nearly 1,000 people, plus the one or two hundred people who were imprisoned. In this way, it seems a little too crowded. If you can buy another mansion, it will be much more convenient.

There is another reason, Liu Xian has always believed that Ma Guiren is Ma Guiren and he is himself. I can't live with Ma Guiren for a long time, right? What Liu Xian needs is his own fame and fame, don't you want others to say, Liu Xian? Isn't he the one who has risen to prominence by virtue of the nobles of the Plains Palace?

Liu Xian hopes that he is an independent person, and when the world hears his name Liu Xian, they will first think that Liu Xian is Liu Xian of Liulin Village, not the young master of the Plains Palace. Therefore, Liu Xian is in Luoyang Capital, and he must have his own Wuyong Marquis Mansion.

In the future, Liu Xian will also take the Marquis Wuyong's Mansion as his main residence. In fact, with a mansion of his own, it is more convenient for Liu Xian to do anything, at least, when he gets along with the women, it will be more natural.

Don't look at Huang Wudie and Yi Ji both accepted Liu Xian and Ma Guiren's affairs. However, it is true that this matter cannot be exposed and made public, and it cannot be known to the world. These are already the consensus of Liu Xian and Ma Guiren, and they are also the consensus of Huang Wudie and Yi Ji. After all, these things are not known to your own people in your own family, but how will the world see them? If it really lets the world know, then Liu Xian's reputation may be really bad.

Huang Wudie and Yi Ji are actually worried about this.

Moreover, nominally, Ma Guiren is Liu Xian's righteous mother, if they all live together, whether emotionally or reasonably, Ma Guiren is a well-deserved hostess, and they always feel that they will be inferior to Ma Guiren. This can't be done, in terms of status and name, they also have to respect Ma Guiren. But in reality? It's just that everyone is Liu Xian's woman.

There won't be anything together in a short period of time, but after a long time, the hearts of the women will definitely not be a taste. What if you live in another mansion with Liu Xian? This situation is completely different, they are the real mistresses of the mansion, even if Ma Guiren comes, it is only on an equal footing.

Liu Xian's plan to buy another mansion and their plan to move in made Huang Wudie and Yi Ji extremely satisfied and happy.

But this doesn't have to be too urgent, it's better to wait for Zhang Ning to enter the city and buy it with them, now the most is to let people look around and see where there are suitable mansions for sale in the capital. If there is no suitable one at that time, Liu Xian can buy land to build a new Hou Mansion.

For the time being, since you plan to stay in the capital for a period of time, you need to do all these things to find talents, accept talents, establish your own interpersonal relationships in the capital, and build an intelligence system that belongs to Liu Xian.

Buy shops and restaurants on the street, etc., these can be handed over to Shan Yong and Li Yuan. Liu Xian specially brought them this time, firstly, to allow himself to have some available people in his hands, and secondly, to let them have a long insight, so that they can adapt to and carry out various tasks in a prosperous city like Beijing.

After that, Liu Xian could also use the banner of Ma Guiren, as a clan member of the Han family, as the young master of the Plains Palace, or as the owner of the Liu Mansion caravan in Liulin Village, to visit some court officials or dignitaries that Liu Xian thought was worth getting acquainted with, or some people that Liu Xian wanted to get.

Liu Xian wants to have a network in the capital of Luoyang, and he can become a network to help himself.

But there is no need to be too anxious about these things, many things have to be done step by step.

Now, Liu Xian left Yi Ji in the Plains Palace, with Huang Wudie and dozens of personal guards, out of the city to the caravan camp of the Liu Mansion outside the city. Of course, Wang Yue was naturally mixed in with the guards.

After last night, and today's half-day of fermentation, the news that the Liu Mansion caravan had come to Luoyang has also spread. In particular, Liu Xian's conflict with the people who entered the General's Mansion at the big gate in the east of the city was actually made up into a story, which spread vividly, and became the talk of people in the streets and alleys of Luoyang after tea and wine.

Luoyang is the largest and most prosperous capital of the Han Dynasty, and the city is mixed with dragons and snakes. Ordinary people, ordinary people, they really don't have any entertainment activities. Some palace secrets and the affairs of some powerful families often become the talk of the town.

The fire of gossip among the people should not be underestimated.

In later generations, people will chase stars, and they are chasing those stars of songs, films, and television. But in this ancient era, there were no stars, so the people and things of those powerful families became things that the people were keen to know.

For example, the emperor's draft, which is definitely a big event, will be able to spread all over the streets of Kyoto in a short period of time. This, maybe the emperor's draft, may make the people hate it, and it will be criticized in later generations, and how bad it is.

However, in reality, this is not the case.

It is said in the world that the acquisition of literature and martial arts is bought with the emperor. Everyone in the Han Dynasty has a kind of mind, to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, to do things for the Han court, and to become officials, this is their lifelong goal, and it is a thing that makes them feel glorious and proud of their ancestors.

And the emperor's draft, for ordinary people, this is actually a thing that can make them leap into the dragon gate.

The people of the Han Dynasty are simple, and many of them are unwilling to separate their flesh and blood, or know that the deep palace is like the sea, and they are unwilling to send their daughters to the palace. Or maybe some women themselves don't want to. This is not surprising, but in fact, most of the people, they are very happy to send their beautiful daughters of school age to the palace.

If it is said that if the emperor is drafted now, then it will definitely immediately become a topic of conversation among the people. It will make many people feel excited and even act.

And the marriage or marriage of a certain magnate will soon spread throughout the city.

Now in Luoyang Beijing, who is in the limelight? Needless to say, it must be the great general He Jin.

The people may not worship He Jin as a star. But it is undeniable that whether it is positive or negative, He Jin is the most popular figure in the capital.

What kind of humble identity is the origin of a butcher's family? Butcher, in ancient times, was a profession with an extremely low social status. Speaking of which, Zhang Fei is also a butcher, and he is actually despised by ordinary people.

Don't doubt that Zhang Fei is actually a literati who knows books and etiquette, and is very literate, at least his calligraphy and painting will not be worse than some celebrities in the world. But who would say that Zhang Fei is actually a literati?

If it weren't for Zhang Fei's fact that force was overwhelming, otherwise, I'm afraid that even Liu Bei wouldn't necessarily look up to him.

It's far away, just say that He Jin, with his sister's successful draft, became the emperor's concubine and then the queen, this is really the ancestral tomb smoking, one step to the sky. Now that he is already a general of the Han Dynasty, how noble is his status?

No matter whether the people are envious, jealous or hateful of He Jin, or regard He Jin as an idol that they need to strive for, whether they have a good reputation or a bad reputation. He Jin will attract the attention of the people.

The General's Mansion is indispensable in Luoyang, and the people in the Mansion are naturally superior, and recently, the people in the General's Mansion are really a little arrogant and arrogant, and they are flying and arrogant, and ordinary people really dare not offend the people of the General's Mansion, and they dare not do it against the people of the General's Mansion.

It's good now, the people from the General's Mansion were actually beaten by a person who had just come to Luoyang.

Who is this person? Liu Xian? Who is it?

After a search, the public was stunned, it turned out that Liu Xian still had such a background, this is really a Luoyang upstart.

By the way, the people also knew about the caravan of Liu's mansion, and knew that the huge caravan that arrived outside the city last evening was Liu Xian's.

Then the people also began to be curious, what kind of goods did they traffic to this Liu Xian's Liu Mansion caravan? This question also left a foreshadowing for Liu Xian's sale of the trafficked goods not long after.

Liu Xian and Huang Wudie went out of the city to inspect the Liu Mansion caravan, just to explain, and let Zhang Ning stay in the Liu Mansion caravan camp temporarily and guard the goods.

Now these commercial goods cannot be sent into the city, because Liu Xian has not yet dredged up the relationship, and he is not ready to sell these commercial goods in Luoyang City.

So, now we have to protect those goods first.
