Text Chapter 186 The Wind and Snow for the Rest of My Life I will never forget it at first sight
The food in Mingyue Building, seriously speaking, is still very good. In Chang'an City, it is second to none. All kinds of novel dishes, luxuriously decorated environment, coupled with the influence of the Ji family, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily gold fight.
Especially since some time ago, through the relationship of Yuanzhao, Mingyue Lou and the Qingjiao restaurant outside Chang'an City have formed a business relationship, and peers have exchanged with each other and imparted experience, and each has benefited a lot. The wine produced in the suburbs of Qingjiao has begun to be supplied to Mingyue Lou in large quantities, which makes the business here even more prosperous.
It was nearly noon, and the Mingyue Building was full, and it was full of seats. Not far from Yuanzhao's room, there was another group of young men who were also drinking and talking.
The group of them are all about twenty years old, there are six or seven people who look like sons, and one is a bright and beautiful young woman. Their identities are not simple. It was the princes of the Han family who stayed in Chang'an.
Since the outbreak of the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the central government has strengthened its control over the vassal states. It became an unwritten rule for the princes of each family to send their sons to stay in the palace of the imperial capital.
This is actually a tacit understanding between Weiyang Palace and the vassal states, although it has not been broken, but they all know it. Taking the son of the world as a proton, staying in Chang'an, and strengthening communication can reduce some misunderstandings between each other, which is beneficial to both parties.
Present were Liu Pinzhi, the prince of Chu, Liu Yuan, the son of Yan, Liu Li'an, the son of Zhao, Liu Xuan, the prince of Qi, and his younger brother Liu Guang, Liu Fengche, the prince of Hejian, and Liu Jian, the prince of Huainan, and his sister Liu Shu. Of course, there are many princes in Chang'an, and they have always been compatible, that is, they have the most iron relationship, so they often come out to gather together.
Time flies, and in less than a month, the Chung Yeung Festival is coming. This is an important festival of the Han Dynasty, every time, except for special circumstances, the princes who are sealed in all parts of the world have to set off from their fiefdoms, come to Chang'an, worship the ancestors and the high temple, and wish the birthday of the still alive Empress Dowager.
These hostage sons actually lived a very comfortable life in Chang'an. This place is prosperous, the most in the world, and you don't have to do anything here, just eat, drink and have fun all day long. Now that my sons are coming again, at that time, they will have to be restrained for a while. Therefore, taking advantage of the good time they have not yet come, completely indulgent play has become the main life of this group of noble sons.
Among them, most of them are arrogant and unskilled, which of course has a lot to do with the education they have received since childhood. Among them, Liu Jian, the son of Huainan, is relatively capable, but compared to his sister Liu Shulai next to him, he is a little inferior, and even has a slight fear of her.
Liu Shu is actually just twenty-one years old, which is the age when youth blooms, but in this era, she has been treated as an old girl who can't get married. The so-called can't get married, not because no one wants it, but because her heart is too high! The men who were so high that they secretly admired were also ashamed of themselves in front of her, and they didn't dare to show a trace of affection.
Liu Shu is very beautiful, and the word "alluring the city and the country" seems to be tailor-made for her. Since she was very young, she has been very smart and cherished by Liu An, the king of Huainan, as a pearl in her palm. When she was a little older, Liu An personally began to teach her all kinds of knowledge, and appointed Lei Bei, the most famous swordsman among the Jianghuai people, to learn martial arts.
Winter goes to summer, time passes, and this southern woman gradually grows up. Both civil and military, astute, proud and noble, with a splendid chest...... These are the secret evaluations of the people in Huainan to this prince and county lord.
Liu An, the king of Huainan, once spit out the truth after a drink: "If Shu'er is a man, how can the dragon and phoenix among people be equal!" It can be seen that he attaches great importance to his daughter.
The people in the palace, except for Liu An, are a little respectful and afraid of Liu Shu from top to bottom, including her brother and several half-brothers. Because, she's amazing! Regardless of scheming or martial arts, a woman who is a lot more stable than them can't be provoked!
Liu Shu has not been in Chang'an for a long time. Growing so big, it was the first time she came, and it was considered to be the front station for her father to come in advance. As soon as she arrived, Liu Jian automatically demoted her status to the status of a follower, and as she went around to visit the uncles and uncles who were good friends with the King of Huainan, and introduced her to some of the children of the Liu family, she was very attentive.
Liu An, the king of Huainan, with his power and reputation in the world, can be regarded as the leader among the princes and kings, and the fact that he has a capable daughter has long been known among people at this level. At this time, when I saw her true face, at first sight, many people shocked her as a celestial. It turned out that this southern county lord turned out to be such a peerless beauty.
Liu Shu's generosity and tactfulness added a lot of points to King Huainan. Among them, there are also some Chang'an children who are romantic and talented, who want to fight her idea, use various means to get closer, and want to kiss Fangze, but without exception, they are treated coldly. Putting aside the status of the Huainan Palace, just talking about the talent and means of this county lord made them suffer a lot. I had to look at it from a distance unwillingly, and I was simply admiring and hating.
Today, she also came out with Liu Jian on a whim to see the scenery of Chang'an. On this bright moon upstairs, I tasted a little bit of various dishes, and it felt good. Sitting there, I heard several princes talking about Chang'an Fengyue in my ears, and I couldn't help but sneer secretly in my heart.
How can these stupid things fit into her eyes! It is a pity that among so many vassal states, there is not a single outstanding son to be found. Before coming, his father also instructed himself that Chang'an was full of talents, so he should keep his eyes open and choose a proud man for himself. Hum! As far as she has seen and heard in the past half a month, except for those who are hungry for profit, the rest are just some idle people.
The man in her heart must have the heroism of the overlord of Western Chu! It's a pity that there won't be one of those people in a few hundred years, right?
Liu Shu was meditating when she suddenly heard a scolding in her ears. When she looked over, it turned out that she didn't know what the reason was, Liu Xuan, the prince of Qi, was loudly blaming his younger brother Liu Guang.
"Useless things, let you toast, you spill everywhere. Such a faux pas is a loss of face for his father. The son born of a cheap concubine is really not on the stage. Hum! ”
Liu Xuan and his father, Liu Cichang, the king of Qi, inherited the genes of their ancestor Liu Fei, and they were both fat and looked exactly the same. At this time, he puffed out his cheeks, stared at his eyes, and took the opportunity to attack, deliberately to embarrass his younger brother Liu Guang in front of everyone.
Liu Guang is a little handsome, he was born to the concubine of King Qi, and Liu Cichang, the king of Qi, has some preference for him. Just now, he just poured wine for a few brothers and spilled a little on other people's clothes, and Liu Xuan, who was on the side, said something disrespectful. He knew that Liu Xuan did it on purpose, but he held back his anger, laughed with him, and confessed again and again.
Several sons and brothers are all arrogant and arrogant, if they were to be scolded by others pointing their noses so much, they would definitely draw their swords and stand up, and they would never die! The so-called "soldiers can be killed, not humiliated".
But seeing that Liu Guang, who was also a child of the royal family, not only did not turn his eyes, but actually made a low voice, everyone couldn't help but show a look of disdain on their faces, and they already looked down on him a little in their hearts. This is the gathering of things by like, and the division of people by groups. If they are not on the same level as themselves, they still can't look down on them.
No one paid attention to this little turmoil. It's just that in the gap where no one is paying attention, when Liu Guang, who was born to a concubine, bowed his head, a cold color flashed in his eyes, which was the light of hatred.
This hatred was fully visible to the woman sitting on the side, Liu Shu just secretly sneered in her heart, although she sympathized in her heart, she did not have pity. The dispute between the elders, the dispute between the favors, the brothers turned against each other, and even the soldiers met each other...... Such a thing can be said to exist in every prince's royal family. Even in Weiyang Palace, I'm afraid it can't be avoided. But what's the use of hate?
The succession to the throne of the princes is strictly regulated, and the eldest son must inherit the throne, seal the territory, rule the people, and succeed one by one. The rest of the sons don't get anything, and there's no way around it. If you want to complain, you can only complain that you haven't been reincarnated well.
The wine in Mingyue Building is really good, these sons are all young and frivolous, they were aroused, and they drank very happily, and they couldn't help but fight loudly. Liu Shu was a little impatient, put on a short sword, got up from his seat, and came out to breathe.
As I walked along the porch, I heard a clear voice coming from the next room. The occasional few words drifted past her ears, and she couldn't help but be slightly stunned in her heart, stopped and listened.
“…… Once the road to the Western Regions is opened, those militarists will not care about it in advance, but only talk about the exchange of goods, and once the various items in the Central Plains are circulated through this road on a large scale, the value created will be huge. Silk, ceramics, wine, salt...... These are all precious things that are lacking in the western countries. We are just transporting, and the profit will be tens or even hundreds of times. Hehe, at that time, it's who goes and who gets rich! What do you think? If anyone has any ideas, let me know in advance, and I will plan for you in advance, so that you can all make a lot of money. ”
“…… But, Brother Yuan, I don't have much money! You're going to lend it to me first. ”
"yes, yes, I didn't either! We're all still kids, where do we get the money? The little marquis ....... ”
"I don't care! Master! I don't want to make any money, this time you must promise me that I will follow the envoy to the Western Regions. Last time, Cui Hong's junior brother went to South Vietnam, so this time it's my turn, right?"
They were talking one after another, all of them were very young voices. With full curiosity, when Lord Liu Shu looked through the sparse window of the carved flowers, he happened to meet a pair of bright eyes, which seemed to pass by. Unforgettable for the rest of my life.
