Volume 3 Liangjing Fengyun Chapter 89 White Arowana Suit
The commerce of the Eastern Han Dynasty has been quite developed, and Luoyang, as the imperial capital, is the most prosperous commercial city in the entire Han Dynasty. Wang Fu, a political commentator on the same level as Ma Rong, once said: "In Luoyang today, those who are at the end of the industry are even farmers, and those who are hypocritical are even at the end of the industry." There are hundreds of counties in the world, thousands of cities, and so on! ”
After Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu moved the capital to Luoyang, "increase the old Zhou, Xiuluoyi, fluttering and majestic, showing wings, Guanghanjing in Zhuxia, always eight directions and extreme." It is in the imperial city, the palace is bright, the court is beautiful, and the luxury is insurmountable! ”
The warm spring sun sprinkled on the green tiles and red walls of the distance and near, shining hazy and psychedelic colors among the eaves of the pavilions that symbolize the wealthy families, putting a poetic camouflage on the ancient Luoyang.
In the three cities of Luoyang, it is even more sparkling cars and horses, the flow of people is like weaving, looking away, all the fluttering shop flags, filling the ears, but also all the vendors with their own characteristics of the hard shouting, together forming a colorful, meticulous picture of all beings.
Due to the rapid development of the handicraft industry, the goods on the market are even more dazzling, not only pots, lamps, scissors, nails, mirrors and thimbles, but also all kinds of ploughshares, crank hoes, scythes and even hundred refining treasure knives are also everywhere, as for all kinds of pens, ink, paper, inkstones, hand-copied books and silk, medicines, cooked food and children's toys are countless, so that many people are dazzled and linger.
At this time, Liu Wei and Liu Xie were stunned in front of a shop selling mud carts and tile dogs, and they couldn't take their eyes off it, and they were amazed.
Looking at the reluctant expressions of the two of them, Nan Ying couldn't help but smile slightly, and motioned to Ma Jun behind him to come forward and pay, and let the two children buy as they pleased.
Listening to their shouting excitement, Nan Ying's heart was a little gloomy, after all, they were still two children, although they came from the emperor's family, they seemed to be extremely honorable, but they had never even seen such things in the homes of ordinary people.
The two children held the fresh playthings in their hands, feeling the relaxed atmosphere that they had never seen before, and there was no longer the usual rules and the slightest trace of walking on thin ice, they danced and danced, frolicking, and occasionally looked at Nanying's eyes, and there was no longer that trace of fear, but full of gratitude and dependence.
Nanying always responds with a soft gaze, but in his heart he sighs deeply, sad for the sad fate of the two children in the future.
Suddenly, a figure flashed out and stood in front of the road.
Liu Xie couldn't avoid it, and hit it headlong, he fell to the ground with a "sigh", and the clay float in his hand also fell into several pieces.
A dirty-faced beggar leaned over his body, stretched out a hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Please give a few sons, the villain is really hungry!" ”
Liu Wei had never seen such a scene, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously looked at Nan Ying, but saw that Nan Ying was lowering his head and looking at him with blazing eyes.
"Bold!" But seeing Liu Xie standing up with the support of Ma Jun, he was angry because of the damage to the plaything, he crossed his small waist halberd and scolded: "I dared to block the road and hit people, and ruined this book... Ruined the beloved things of this son! Come on, take it for me! ”
When a five- or six-year-old child was so angry in public, not only the beggar was shocked, but even the onlookers were all surprised.
"Xie'er! Don't make a mistake! The majestic voice of the Southern Eagle came: "Have you forgotten my words? ”
"Huh?" Liu Xie suddenly woke up, but he grinned with anger: "But uncle, my mud cart, my mud cart!" Let him pay me! ”
"Nonsense, can he afford it?" Nanying whispered, "How can you be so narrow-minded! ”
Looking at Liu Xie's gradually flattened mouth, Nan Ying sighed: "Okay, don't cry!" Uncle Wei asked Ma Jun to buy one for you! ”
Looking at Liu Wei again, seeing that he was still at a loss, Nan Ying was even more disappointed in his heart, and he sighed again: "Okay! Let's go! ”
"Uncle, wait a minute!" A low voice sounded beside him, and Liu Wei seemed to have the courage to say: "This person said he was hungry, can you give him a little money?" ”
Nan Ying's eyes lit up, he touched Liu Bian's head, and smiled: "Very good!" But you can't give money, because he's a beggar, and if we give him money, it might attract others to rob him, and we will hurt him! ”
As soon as Nanying raised his hand, an attendant immediately handed over a small bag of dry food. He handed over the dry food to Liu Wei and said solemnly: "It's up to you to hand it over to him!" ”
"Me?" Liu Wei couldn't help but open his mouth wide, revealing a trace of panic.
"It's your will, of course it's up to you!" Nan Ying patted him and encouraged: "There are many things, only if you do it yourself, you can know its importance!" ”
The trembling little hand slowly stretched out and handed over the small bag of dry food, seeing that the beggar took it like the wind, Liu Wei almost took a step back, and finally endured it.
"Thank you for your life, I wish you a long life!" The beggar bowed and hurried out.
"How does it feel?" A pair of warm big hands were placed on Liu Wei's shoulders: "Isn't it good to help others?" ”
"Yes!" Liu Wei thought about it sideways, and a smile gradually appeared on his mouth: "It's really good!" ”
Liu Xie, who was standing on the side, crooked his mouth and shouted, "Brother Ma, don't you help me buy another mud car!" ”
The beggar ran out of two avenues in a row, turned into an alley, suddenly stopped, straightened up, and threw off the filthy cloak that had been draped over him, revealing a black suit inside.
The sound of light footsteps sounded, and a handsome young man walked slowly from the depths of the alley.
The man pretending to be a beggar saluted solemnly: "I've seen the jujube commander!" ”
"Yes! Well accomplished! The young man nodded and said, "Go back to the house immediately, record all the performances of the two princes, and let the listening team make a preliminary psychological assessment!" ”
"Yes!"
Then, there are many more stories that follow:
"Uncle! Why don't we give way to that wagon, but give way to an old man? ”
"For the owner of the carriage is but a son of a vulgar family, and he is not worthy to make us give way! And that old man... It's very simple, respecting the elderly and respecting the virtuous is a virtue! ”
"But the old man is just a civilian!"
"Civilians? Remember, you two, even a great country with tens of millions of people is made up of countless civilians! ”
"But there are royalty and nobility?"
"What about their origins thousands of years ago? Gao Zu is just a pavilion chief! I'm not telling you to be inferior, because that's impossible! But you can't forget your roots! ”
"....... yes!"
"I seem to understand a little, and I don't seem to understand at all!"
"Uncle, why did the general who guarded the gate recognize you and respectfully wanted to send us out of the city, but you insisted on lining up behind those people to get out of the city?"
"Because what Uncle Wei is doing today is a private matter, not because of a business errand, of course, you can't abolish the public because of private affairs!"
"My nephew doesn't understand! Why do you have to follow these rules in your capacity? Just now, the nephews saw an official easily go out of the city gate with a waist card! Look at him like that, it definitely doesn't look like an errand! ”
"Can you afford such a person?"
“…… Of course I look down on you, but uncle, you're different, you're ......"
"I don't have anything extraordinary, I'm just a general, if I want to order thousands of troops and horses, and let the soldiers obey the military orders with all their hearts, you have to obey the rules first!"
"My nephew understands, uncle, this is a person who wants to be righteous before himself!"
"My nephew also understands, this is the bearing and demeanor of the superior!"
"Two princes, this is a wilderness, everything is simple, you can barely use some food first, and when you find the town, how about we have another good meal?"
"But...... Uncle Huang, why did you give us all the delicious food, but eat the same thing as your entourage? ”
"Yes! Is it because we are princes? ”
"Hey, that's a couple of questions! Let me answer them one by one! First of all, my imperial uncle is not worthy of his name, he has never lived a life of fine clothes and fine food, he has always been used to hardships and hardships, and these dry foods are already unbelievable for me! ”
"Second, these people are not my retinue, they are my brothers, my men, my soldiers! Sharing their ups and downs, I've been doing this all these years! ”
"In the end, I will give you the food, not because you are princes, but because you are all children, and you all call me uncle, and it is my responsibility to take care of you! Even if I was a son of a pauper, I would do the same! ”
"I ...... Don't understand! ”
"Uncle Huang, although I don't understand it either, I admire you more and more!"
Nine days have passed, and Nanying has led the two children to tour the mountains and rivers day by day, and visited the downtown areas around Luoyang.
He never mentioned the matter of teaching skills, and the two children were also in the middle of it, and they were so happy to linger on this rare happy time, and they even secretly hoped in their hearts that such days could continue forever, and it was best never to return to Luoyang, not to return to the secluded palace.
Only Nanying's heart grew heavier and heavier, because he knew that the final test was finally coming.
A round of red sun slowly pops out from behind the mountain, sprinkling a quiet and peaceful light on everything in the world, which is indescribably relaxed and pleasant.
However, this beautiful state of mind is not due to the two terrified children, who still fell asleep peacefully last night, and woke up this morning, everything has been turned upside down!
"Uncle Huang! Uncle Huang! ”
"Brother Ma Family!"
Liu Wei and Liu Xie shouted in a panic, in vain to enter and exit the empty tents again and again.
The hollow valley echoes, but where does anyone answer?
For a long time, the two children looked at each other, and their faces were full of horror.
"Brother Huang, how can this be? Uncle Huang, they are all missing! ”
"Cooperation... Brother Xie! Could it be that they are deliberately trying to harm us? ”
"Brother Huang, you are so stupid! If Uncle Huang wants to harm us with his ability, isn't that like crushing an ant to death? As for waiting until today! ”
"This... You seem to have a point! But where did they go? ”
"They didn't even leave a single person to protect us... Either it's a deliberate attempt to scare us and test our guts, or else? ”
"That's it?"
"There is a strong enemy coming, and in order to protect us, they can only use all their strength to lure the enemy away!"
"What? No way! Liu Wei's face turned pale, he sat down and muttered: "This is the area around Luoyang, how can there be a strong enemy?" ”
"Phew!" Liu Xie chirped: "What about Luoyang? Don't forget, not long ago, the rebels in Liangzhou almost captured Luoyang! ”
"So what do we do? Wait here? ”
"It's almost time to die! If Uncle Huang can't rush back in time, we don't need the enemy to kill us, and we will starve to death! ”
"So, what then?"
"Only I went out by myself!" Liu Xie looked at the red sun on the horizon and said: "We are just on the periphery of the mountain, and it is easy to get out of the mountain!" And Uncle Huang said that Pishan is located in the north of Luoyang, so let's go south! ”
"Listen... Listen to you! ”
"Brother Huang, don't tremble! As I have already said, this is very likely to be Uncle Huang's test for us! Maybe they're hiding somewhere to keep an eye on us right now! ”
"Good! Good! May it be as you say! ”
"Hey! This kid is really a big man! Ma Jun accurately read the lips of the two children from the telescope, and he casually handed the telescope back to Nanying: "Lord, Liu Xie is only five years old, and he can have such insight and stability!" It's not easy! ”
"The emperor's grandson! Certainly not ordinary! Nan Ying said lightly: "Actually, I prefer Liu Wei, because Liu Xie's scheming is too heavy!" It's like this when you're so young, and when you grow up, what's the point? ”
"In public and private, we only like Liu Bian!" Ma Jun smiled bitterly: "Who taught Liu Xie to be the Empress Dowager Dong's person?" And Dong Zhuo, we have long been inseparable from him! ”
"You're wrong! Who we like, it doesn't matter! Nan Ying said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is the mind of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven will definitely not affect his judgment because of our likes and dislikes!" ”
"My lord is right!" Ma Jun hesitated for a moment before saying, "However, are we playing a little bigger this time?" If there is any damage to the two princes, then we will have to flee back to the Eagle's Nest with our tails between our legs! ”
"No problem! Do you know how many people I deployed for this operation? Nan Ying said calmly: "Speaking of this alone, during our nine days of sightseeing, Gao Feng has led a hundred of the most elite warriors to conduct a dragnet investigation here, and even a snake hole and a rabbit hole have been cleaned by them!" Within five miles, except for our people, there are only insects and birds! ”
"Awesome!" Ma Jun stuck out his tongue: "It's really overkill!" ”
"You're wrong again!" Nan Ying shook his head and said, "This is not only a test for the two princes, but also a drill for my Eagle's Nest warriors!" They can't do such a simple task, so what's the use of asking them to do these rice buckets? ”
"We're not rice buckets!" A voice muttered behind him, "Lord, just look at it!" ”
A piece of grass moved slightly, revealing Gao Feng's hippie smiling face: "The show is about to be staged!" Tsk, let the two delicate princes see what is the danger of the white dragon fish suit! Ha ha! ”
