Everything in Luoyang East City seems to be a fairyland in a dream, on the way to Luoyang from Qian County, Xiang Xu has never seen such a prosperous city, as if everyone in this city is carefree, everyone has a smile on their faces, but Xiang Xu feels that here, there is an indescribable feeling, in short, it is very uncomfortable.

Cao Chun has no such concerns, he plays to his heart's content, when he sees something fun, he has to go up to join in the fun, and when he sees something delicious, he has to buy it and taste it, the young masters of Cao Mansion are not short of money to spend, when Cao Cao was a teenager, he squandered it and was able to throw off Cao Chun a hundred streets, this is the first time Cao Chun spent money lavishly, obviously a noble young master, but he played the style of a nouveau riche.

The packaging method of this era is very simple, that is, use a piece of cloth or kraft paper to pick up the food, wrap a rope on the outside, and leave a ring to carry, this Cao Chun has no hand to hold, Wang Shu's hand is also full, just see Xiang Xu holding his sword leisurely walking, Cao Chun smiled maliciously.

"Eighth brother, look at it, we both have no hands to use, can you help my brother mention it?"

Xiang Xu was unmoved, no matter how Cao Chun messed around, he was indifferent, in desperation, Cao Chun bought too many things, so he could only give up some, and was stopped by Xiang Xu as soon as he raised his hand.

"My brother said that food can't be wasted, and there are still many people who can't eat."

Xiang Xu took the initiative to take the things in Cao Chun's hand, at this time, the street that was originally overcrowded and crowded quickly gave way to a passage, and the people on both sides of the road bowed their heads respectfully and did not dare to speak loudly, and the vendors stopped shouting, and the street that was full of people just now became quiet.

Cao Chun and Xiang Xu stood in the middle of the road, looking around blankly, Cao Chun turned around and asked Wang Shu: "What's going on?" ”

Wang Shu pulled Cao Chun and Xiang Xu over, and muttered in a low voice: "Do you know, this Your Majesty's sister Liu Na, the eldest princess of Yang'an, likes to take her son to Dongcheng to play the most, because last time a blind man injured her delicate little marquis, in a fit of anger, this eldest princess ordered to arrest and kill all the blind people in Dongcheng, so there is an unwritten rule in Dongcheng, this eldest princess is here, everyone must give way, don't speak loudly, if you offend anyone, you can't offend this eldest princess!" ”

Cao Chun smiled disappre一门ly, joke, the eldest brother Cao Cao can kill the uncle of the ten permanent servants, what is there to be afraid of an eldest princess, there is such a careless imperial relatives who are careless of people's lives but they are not punished, no wonder the brothers say that the Han family is going to die, should!

Wang Shu looked at Cao Chun's indignant appearance, tugged at Cao Chun's sleeve again, and said, "Oh, my son Cao, little seventh master!" Don't make trouble, this eldest prince Cao is in Dunqiu, the second master is about to go to Xiliang, and the master is about to go into hiding, at this moment, there must be no mistakes! ”

Cao Chun patted Wang Shu's shoulder to signal him to rest assured: "It's okay, I'm not a reckless person." ”

Although Wang Shu is still not at ease, the son of the Cao family can toss more than one, he still looks at it tighter, don't trouble the second master, just thinking about it, he heard the sound of horses' hooves with rhythm, this Dongcheng is paved with bluestone bricks, and the horse's hooves on the bluestone road seem to be particularly crisp, snapping, and I saw two figures walking in front, and behind them was a large group of guards and slaves.

The little man in front is the little Hou Ye, who looks more than ten years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a pink little face that looks very cute, but his walking posture does not look like a nobleman at all, he is arrogant and fierce, he trots all the way with his sleeves, his hair has been scattered, and he is followed by two maidservants, constantly reminding Hou Ye to slow down.

The woman who followed behind looked like a noblewoman, upright, with eyes looking at everyone, like looking at a group of ants, the nobles of this era are so high, indispensable, they think they are superior, this Liu Na is like this, but her body size is really eye-catching, it is estimated that she is only one meter five tall, but the fat is like no boundary, alive like a meat ball, passers-by are shorter than her, a small man, but he has to raise his head high, In Cao Chun's eyes, it is simply ugly.

The Cao family is a family of eunuchs, Cao Teng is a great eunuch, and so is Cao Song, and those celebrities and doctors in the court have always looked down on their origins, so here is the origin of the word eunuch.

The name eunuch originated from the Ming Dynasty, because there were twenty-four officials they did, and all of them became so-and-so eunuchs, so they were called "eunuchs", and the meaning of the word eunuch did not originally refer to castration. And the word eunuch does not refer to the official made by the castrated person.

In ancient times, there were also schools, and they were divided into universities and primary schools, we know that modern schools must teach some knowledge and skills, but the ancient schools are not like this, they teach philosophy, but the meaning of religion is very strong, focusing on poetry, books, rituals and music such as sacrificial pension, and not focusing on practicality, Confucius's apprentices asked Confucius how to farm, Confucius's attitude is also quite disdainful, which proves that these people who study knowledge and knowledge look down on practical knowledge and skills, so where do these skills of the ancients come from? It was eunuch, and later the word eunuch evolved to refer specifically to eunuchs, so after eunuchs, it was very popular.

Waiting quietly for the fat lady and the arrogant little marquis, no one walked through the street and turned the corner, at this time the street returned to normal, the cries sounded again, and everyone did what to do as if nothing happened, Xiang Xu finally knew why he felt uncomfortable in Dongcheng.

Compared with Dongcheng, Beicheng is more deserted, although there are also merchants and the like, but most of them dare not be too presumptuous, and the princes and nobles there are also because of Cao Cao's relationship, a lot more restrained, it seems to be orderly, and it can even be described by the word politeness, even the way of treating subordinates is more gentle, it seems that everyone is equal, but what about Dongcheng, the class status is clear at a glance, some people can walk unscrupulously, and some people have to carefully make way for others, and the bullies are arrogant to the vendors. The vendors are submissive, and everything here seems to be talking: status.

Wang Shu had already gone to find his concubine, and when the two of them came, Wang Shu had already taken them through, so they naturally knew the way back, and as the two walked, Xiang Xu stopped.

"I want to go back, it's not fun here, I'll go find my brother."

Cao Chun also felt that after the scene just now, he was already in Yixing, so he planned to go back, and as soon as the two turned around to leave, Xiang Xu felt that the corners of his clothes were being pulled by someone.

Looking back, I found that it was a little girl who was held in her arms, her face was covered with dust, with two small braids, about three or four years old, although her big eyes were watery and good-looking, but she looked yellow and thin, and the little boy who was holding him was only a teenager, and he looked similar to the little marquis just now, his hair was unkempt, sweat and mud made his hair look dirty, and the clothes on his body were also gray.

The little girl pointed to the pastry bag in Xiang Xu's hand, her big eyes were full of tears, and she turned back to the little boy and cried, "Brother, I'm so hungry, Yu'er is so hungry." ”

The little boy had no choice but to hold the little girl with one hand, wipe the clothes with the other hand, and then wipe away the tears for the little girl, so he coaxed her and said: "Yu'er is the most well-behaved, Yu'er won't cry, my brother will buy you candy to eat, okay?" ”

But where did he get the money? He didn't even have a pocket that could hold money, he didn't want to lie, but in the face of his sister's distress, he was helpless, at this time, his own stomach was screaming, he hugged his sister and wanted to leave, but his sister's little hand still grabbed Xiang Xu's shirt tightly.

Xiang Qing is not particular about his dress, he can wear it, but in view of Xiang Xu's serious problem of cleanliness, Xiang Qing invited the best tailor in Luoyang, the best materials used, and spent all his money on private customization, which is worth a lot of money, although this little boy doesn't know how expensive this dress is, but looking at the little sister's black hand, he has left a black handprint on other people's expensive clothes, and he panicked instantly.

He put down his crying sister and knelt directly on the ground, his head slamming to the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't take care of my sister, if you want to fight and kill, just beat me and kill me, my sister is young and ignorant, you have a lot of adults, just spare her, she is only four years old, you come at me, I resist, you can beat me and scold me."

The little boy kowtowed and admitted his mistake and begged for mercy, while slapping himself, and he didn't spare his hand at all, and when he slapped down, half of his face was swollen, and he had to fan the right side after fanning the left side, and as soon as the palm was raised, Xiang Xu had already grabbed his wrist.

"No need to fight."

Xiang Xu handed all the food on his hands to the little girl, these things were very heavy, and they were as light as a weight in Xiang Xu's hands, but the little girl's strength was obviously insufficient, but she gritted her teeth tightly and hugged the pile of pastries, her eyes were still full of tears, but her mouth was already smiling.

The little boy looked up and saw that Xiang Xu had already asked for the things in Cao Chun's hand, not only did they buy pastries and delicacies, but Cao Chun also saw a good short knife in a blacksmith shop, and Xiang Xu stuffed it all into the little boy, which made Cao Chun's boss unhappy.

"Hey Eighth Brother! You're not kind, if you want to do good deeds, we can buy them again, you gave them all, what do I eat, and my short knife, that's the gift I plan to give to Brother Ren. ”

The little boy was at a loss for what to do with a pile of things, when had he ever seen such a person, he didn't ask anything, he just stuffed this pile of things into him, when did kindness become so worthless.

He didn't dare to ask for it, so he had to hand it back again: "Thank you for the great kindness of the eighth master, but you have already given a lot, and I can't take these anymore." ”

Cao Chun stretched out his hand and patted the little boy's shoulder: "Let you take it, you will take it!" Does mother-in-law and mother-in-law look like a man? After speaking, he said to Xiang Xu: "I don't care, eighth brother, these things are borrowed from me, our brothers will settle accounts, and the second brother will be appointed as the general of Zhengxi immediately. ”
