Chapter 9: The Mansion of the Marquis of Gaoling
After sunset, Cao Liang and Zhang Tong completed the handover with Yu Linlang, who came to take over, and left Jiafumen.
"Brother Cao, see you tomorrow." Zhang Tong arched his hand and left.
In this era, Yu Linlang was on duty, but there was no eight-hour work system, this class from sunrise to sunset, Yu Linlang had to stand outside for a whole day, quite tiring, no wonder Zhang Tong left in a hurry.
Cao Liang was not in a hurry to leave, but slowly and leisurely "strolled" to the stop door.
The Luoyang Imperial Palace is magnificent, not lost to the Beijing Forbidden City of later generations, the majestic Taiji Palace, even more lofty than the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City, and the majestic and magnificent Chang Closed Gate is far from the Forbidden City Noon Gate can be compared.
Luoyang Imperial Palace is Cao Pi called the emperor before rebuilding, the original Eastern Han Dynasty Palace, as early as 50 years ago was burned down by Dong Zhuo, Cao Pi reigned for seven years, Luoyang Palace was not fully completed, until the reign of Cao Rong, only to be completed, like the largest scale of the Taiji Palace, the Gate, the Zhaoyang Palace, etc., are built in this period.
However, although it is the main gate of the Imperial Palace, it is usually closed to the public, and it is only used for major events such as the enthronement of the emperor and the reception of tributaries from all over the world.
Usually, the courtiers and officials enter and leave the palace, and they all walk through the Sima Gate in the east.
Cao Liang led the horse from the stop door and walked out of Sima Gate.
In the palace, it is forbidden to ride a horse, not to mention that Cao Liang is a low-level Yu Linlang, even if he is a first-class and second-class court official, he must get off at the stop door and walk into the palace.
After leaving Sima Gate and leaving the palace, there was no limit, Cao Liang rode a horse and walked slowly southward along the widest copper camel street in Luoyang City.
Tongtuo Street is the most prosperous and widest street in Luoyang City, according to later generations, it is a two-way four-lane, the middle two lanes, only allowed to pass through the court officials and forbidden soldiers, ordinary people can only take the lanes on both sides.
Copper camel street on both sides of the shops are lined up, even if it is dusk, it is also the flow of people, bustling, whenever the twilight is boundless, the smoke of every house is rising, like the mist and rain, one after another, this is the "copper camel twilight rain" that people are full of.
The Gaoling Marquis Mansion is located in the southern section of Tongtuo Street, not far from Xuanyang Gate.
He should indeed be grateful for the memory left by his predecessor Cao Liang, otherwise he would have to get lost in such a big Luoyang City.
Approaching the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, Cao Liang's heart was inexplicably worried, in this mansion, there are his "father" and "mother", and there are a group of people who are extremely familiar with Cao Liang, he doesn't know if he, an impostor, will be demolished after entering this mansion?
Is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, Cao Liang hardened, turned over and dismounted, and prepared to go to the mansion to talk.
The entire Gaoling Marquis Mansion suddenly became busy, and the subordinates led the horses to Cao Liang, the unloading of the armor, the change of clothes, and the water of the water, after Cao Liang entered the mansion, there was nothing to do by himself, and a large group of subordinates and maids served him properly.
In the palace, Cao Liang is a low-status Yulin Lang, not only has to stand guard and be on duty, but also has to be reprimanded by the officials, and when he returns to the Hou Mansion, this can be regarded as enjoying the comfortable treatment of the little Hou Ye.
I rely on it, this can be regarded as the life that the "three generations of Cao" should really enjoy.
"Liang'er, I'm tired, my mother stewed bird's nest white fungus soup for you, you drink the soup first and then eat." A middle-aged woman with a dignified appearance and elegant temperament greeted her with a smile on her face.
She is naturally Cao Liang's "mother" Liu Ying.
Cao Liang sat on the mat next to a few cases, and the maid brought the bird's nest white fungus soup, so he naturally didn't want to touch his mother's mind and drank it.
Bird's nest is a big tonic, expensive, ordinary people can't afford to consume, Cao Liang really hasn't eaten it in his previous life, it seems that these two lives are really different.
The bird's nest is stewed very rotten and soft, it tastes good, sorry, Cao Liang really didn't taste anything good.
At this time, a tall and burly middle-aged man walked over, with thick eyebrows and heavy eyes, with a momentum that was not angry but mighty, needless to say, this is Cao Liang's cheap daddy Gaoling Pavilion Hou Cao Yan.
Cao Liang chuckled slightly in his heart, maybe it was because he was very afraid of this father in his previous life, so Cao Liang naturally had this reaction.
"Father." Cao Liang put down the bowl and shouted respectfully.
Cao Yan snorted softly with a cold face, obviously a little dissatisfied with Liu Ying spoiling Cao Liang so much, as soon as he entered the door, the servants in the house were hugging each other and serving him thoroughly.
In the Gaoling Marquis Mansion, I am afraid that only Cao Liang can enjoy such treatment, and even Cao Yan, the marquis, may not be able to enjoy it.
It's not that Cao Yan is jealous, but that he is worried that his wife is so doting, and finally cultivates Cao Liang into a gentleman.
Although Cao Yan inherited the title of Marquis of Gaoling Pavilion through his father's shadow, he was born in the army. Father Cao Chun died early, died in the third year after the Battle of Chibi, when Cao Yan was only ten years old, when he grew up to join the army, from the tiger and leopard riding a hundred generals, until the captain, Yamen general, Jian'an twenty-three years, Cao Xiu led the tiger and leopard to ride down to break the Shu general Zhang Fei, Cao Yan had fought with the army.
It was not until the establishment of the Wei State that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, as a field army, was incorporated into the Chinese Forbidden Army, Cao Yan was awarded the Captain of the Yue Cavalry, and later promoted to a guerrilla general, and when Emperor Ming was the emperor, he became the supreme commander of the Chinese army - the leading general.
The commander of the Chinese army is generally called the leader of the army, and only the senior can be awarded the leading general, Cao Yan's title is inherited from his father, but the rank of the leading general is earned by his own practical military achievements.
Later, he was dismissed due to an incident, and the leading general was replaced by Xiahou Xian, and now Cao Yan is idle at home, but he has nothing to do.
Cao Yan, who was born as a military general, naturally hoped that his son could inherit his father's business, but Cao Liang was sick since he was a child and his body was weak, Liu Ying felt sorry for his son and didn't want him to be a soldier and endure hardships, so when Cao Liang entered the ranks with middle and upper grades, Liu Ying wanted Cao Liang to serve as a civilian official.
In Liu Ying's view, although there are occasional wars on the border, on the whole, national peace and security are the general trend, and in this case, civilian officials must be more popular than military attachés, and the future of civilian officials is better than that of military attachés.
But Cao Yan disagreed, he had to let Cao Liang be Yu Linlang, and he would take the road of a military general, but Liu Ying couldn't resist him, so he had to let Cao Liang be Yu Linlang.
Seeing that every time her son came back from duty in the palace, he was as tired as a dog, Liu Ying was naturally very distressed, so every time her son came back, she ordered her subordinates to serve diligently, and personally cooked, stewed supplements, and replenished his body.
