Chapter 323: The Earliest Scalpers)
After the past, he was not able to enter the center of the imperial court. Because his daughter Fu Shou became Liu Xie's queen, he was able to be co-opted by Wang Yun, Dong Cheng and others, and participated in the planning of fleeing from Chang'an to Luoyang.
With this experience, Fu Wan also began to look at Liu Xin squarely, carefully analyzing Liu Xin's words and deeds, coupled with what he had seen and heard in Xiangyang in the past few days, he didn't dare to despise or even despise Liu Xin as much as in the past. After listening to Liu Hua's words, Fu Wan said disapprerovingly: "Princess, you can't underestimate this Liu Xin, in my opinion, everything he does has a deep meaning." Since he has done this engineering exam with ingenuity, there must be his intentions in it, not for you and me to guess randomly. ”
As a princess of Yang'an, Liu Hua was born noble, and she has always looked down on these ant people, but the relationship between her and Fu Wan husband and wife is very good, and when she heard Fu Wan's words, she already admired Liu Xin a lot, but she didn't say anything anymore, just sighed: "If it weren't for Liu Xin's crusade against Dong Zhuo and giving Wang Yun the opportunity to sneak to Luoyang, my daughter is still in Chang'an City to be her queen safely, how good it would be." ”
Fu Shou suddenly pursed his peachy lips, and said hatefully: "Who is rare to be that queen, without the slightest bit of freedom, not to say, but to live by looking at other people's faces." ”
Speaking of which, Fu Shou is one year older than Liu Xie, and should be Liu Xie's cousin. The relationship between the two siblings has always been good, but they are still young and ignorant of the love between men and women. However, this time on the way to Luoyang, Liu Xie only cared about his own escape, abandoned Fu Shou on the chariot, and became Liu Xin's prisoner, which really made Fu Shou very angry and gradually despaired of Liu Xie.
Fu Wan saw that the people around him were crowded and crowded, and he was worried that their conversation would fall into the ears of people with a heart and bring unnecessary trouble, so he pulled Fu Shou and said, "Shou'er, your mother doesn't like to see others praise the street parade, why don't we go back first." ”
Although Fu Shou is young, he is quite sensible, and when he heard his father say this, he took the hands of his two younger brothers, and followed Fu Wan and Liu Hua back with a promise. Their family was placed in Dongcheng District by Ma Yun, and when they turned a street, the surroundings were quiet. saw a girl on the opposite side, and walked over gracefully.
Liu Hua looked up and saw that the girl had a pink and white melon seed face, two thin eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, a pair of wonderful eyes similar to autumn water, and her appearance was very handsome. When the girl saw Liu Hua's family, she dodged to the side, but kept aiming at them out of the corner of her eye, and suddenly turned around and ran away. Liu Hua was not a little surprised when she saw this girl's inexplicable behavior, but she understood that this was the Dongcheng District of Xiangyang City, which had always been heavily guarded, and idlers and miscellaneous people could not enter. Looking at the dress of this girl, it doesn't look like an ordinary maid and maidservant, it is estimated that it is the daughter of an official eunuch's family, she turned around in a hurry, presumably remembering something else. Thinking of this, Liu Hua was relieved and took his children home.
This girl is none other than Tang Xian, the empress of Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty.
Back then, because Emperor Han Heng had no son, this allowed Liu Hong to inherit the throne, Liu Hua, as the eldest daughter of Emperor Han Heng, had a special status.
Liu Hua was born in the emperor's family, and since he was a child, he was accustomed to seeing open and secret battles, and he did not take He Lian's poisoning of Wang Meiren to heart, and he did not have a special hatred for He Lian and Liu Bian's mother and son, and her daughter's marriage to Liu Xie was also a later thing, so Liu Hua was happy to participate in Liu Bian's wedding at that time.
Since she participated in the wedding ceremony, she has naturally seen Tang Xian, the heroine of the wedding, but Tang Xian was just a little girl at the time, and now she has become a slim flower-like girl, and after many years, it is normal for Liu Hua not to recognize it at a glance.
However, Liu Hua's own image has not changed much, because he grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and the noble temperament that flows from his bones is something that others can't learn if they want to, Tang Xian is particularly impressed by this, at first glance, she felt that this noble lady was a little familiar, and after a closer look, she recognized it, so she hurriedly ran back to tell He Lian.
After He Lian came to Xiangyang, she almost stayed at home, tending to her vegetable patch in the backyard all day long, planting a few melons and vegetables, raising a few chickens, and ignoring the affairs of the outside world, as if she was a master in the world.
In fact, if you want to say that He Lian really sees through the red dust, it is not necessarily. At least a few days ago, when Ma Yun came to tell her the news that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru had been ambushed, she cried all night and didn't fall asleep. Thinking of her son's tragic death in front of her, He Lian was heartbroken, if it weren't for Liu Xin to save her, she and Tang Xian would have died long ago. From the bottom of her heart, she is still grateful to Liu Xin. The backyard was supposed to be a place to plant flowers and grass, but He Lian made it like a vegetable patch, and these rough jobs should be done by those subordinates, He Lian wanted to do it herself, just to forget the past. As a result, the more she was like this, the more difficult it was to let go, and it wasn't until Liu Xin helped her avenge that He Lian felt really liberated.
At this time, He Lian was copying his hands and commanding a few maids to level the vegetable fields in the backyard, sprinkle some grass seeds, plant a few peonies and peonies, and the pond used for watering the ground should also be cleaned up and planted with lotuses. Suddenly seeing Tang Xian come in, He Lian smiled and said, "Xian'er, didn't you say that you went to the street to see something like Zhuangyuan Kua Street, why did you come back again?" ”
Tang Xian looked at the maids around her, and stopped talking.
Seeing this, He Lian waved her hand and let the maid retreat. Tang Xian then said: "Mother, who do you guess the child saw just now?" ”
Tang Xian was originally He Lian's daughter-in-law, but He Lian now really regards her as her daughter, and what she is worried about now is Tang Xian's family affairs.
He Lian's own identity is here, as long as the Han Dynasty exists for a day, she will definitely not be able to remarry. But Tang Xian is different, although she and Liu Wei have the name of husband and wife, they are not husband and wife. Now that Tang Xian has reached the age of retirement, He Lian doesn't want her to die lonely like herself. A few days ago, Ma Yun came to visit them, and He Lian also asked Ma Yun about Liu Xin's sons, and intended to marry Tang Xian to Liu Xin's family, but unfortunately Liu Xin's sons were too young, and the eldest son Liu Yu was only ten years old, so he had to temporarily dismiss this idea. He Lian saw Tang Xian's mysterious appearance, and couldn't help but quip: "You don't need to guess for your mother, you know, our Xian'er must have fallen in love with a handsome son, you don't have to be shy, tell Wei Niang, I'll let Mrs. make the decision for you." ”
Tang Xian's face flushed, and she snorted: "Mother, what are you talking nonsense, if the child does not marry, he will accompany his mother for the rest of his life." ”
He Lian Zhengse said: "How can you not get married?" When your mother is old, you will take care of you, if you don't get married, who will take care of you when you are old in the future? ”
When Tang Xian married Liu Bian, she was still a little girl who didn't know anything, but now that she has grown up, she has become disheartened, and when she saw He Lian's serious appearance, she couldn't help but say coquettishly: "Mother, let's not talk about this." The child saw Princess Yang'an's family on the street just now. ”
He Lian was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I heard from my wife a few days ago that Princess Yang'an's daughter became Liu Xie's queen, how could their family appear in Xiangyang, could it be that Liu Xie has been caught?" You can't be mistaken. ”
Tang Xian shook her head and said, "The child can really see it, and there is no doubt that she is indeed Princess Yang'an." As for Liu Xie's whereabouts, the child is not clear, but the child saw that Princess Yang'an was followed by an eleven or two-year-old girl, who looked a little similar to her, could it be her daughter? ”
He Lian thought for a while and said, "Forget it, everyone takes care of each other, let's just live our own lives, and don't care about others." At the beginning, Lord Liu promised me that he would spare Liu Xie's life, presumably he would not break his promise. ”
Wang Erniu and Zhu Aliu boasted about the streets all morning, received the allowance, and went home happily, and the crowd watching the excitement on the road also dispersed. Xiangyang City has now become a metropolis, people inside and outside the city have seen the world, there will be all kinds of excitement every day, just take a look, life will soon return to the peace of the past.
For all kinds of excitement in the bustling city of Xiangyang, Tang Xian has lived here for several years and already has immunity, so she stayed in the house in the afternoon to help He Lian take care of the backyard and transform it into a garden. For He Lian's decision, Tang Xian naturally raised her hands in favor, she was busy in the garden, like a tireless little bee, working hard for the ideal beauty.
The Fu Wan family is far from seeing enough of the various scenery of Xiangyang City, they are like countrymen entering the city, they feel new to everything, and now, the family is hurrying to Xiangyang North Street, wanting to go to the very famous Xiangyang Illusion Museum to see the miraculous illusion performance.
It's been a few years, and the business of the illusion hall is still very hot, and tickets often have to be purchased three days in advance, and Yu Ji has also made a lot of money. The boom in the business of the illusion hall has also brought about the increasing prosperity of other businesses in the vicinity, selling melons and fruits, selling dim sum, and selling all kinds of gadgets, and they are constantly shouting outside the door. There are even some clever ones, who queued up to buy tickets a few days earlier, and now sell them at a high price to make a lot of money, which may be regarded as the earliest scalpers.
The Fu Wan family didn't know the situation, and when they came, the tickets were already sold out, so they had to buy from the scalpers, but the scalpers' asking price turned out to be three times the original price. It's not the time when he was in Chang'an, his family property is gone, and now the food, clothing, housing, and use are all arranged by Ma Yun, and even the bits and pieces of silver he brought with him are sent by Ma Yun, and it is inevitable to mumble when he sees such a high fare.
But there are many rich people in Xiangyang City, if you don't buy it, others will naturally buy it, and when he hesitated, the tickets in the hands of the scalpers were bought by a few other people. The illusion hall is actually equivalent to the official opening, through the popularization of illusion, the people have increased their knowledge, and those swaggering gods and men naturally have no market. The semi-official illusion hall is naturally stricter, and you can't enter without a ticket.
