Huainan City is 16 zhang high, with a city circumference of 50 miles, and it is the largest city in Huainan County, which can accommodate 100,000 households and 400,000 people!

During the period of the Holy Ancestor, Huainan City was the frontier of Cao Cao's defense against the royal army, so it was built quite strongly. However, with the influence of the construction of city walls in Xinzhou after the Holy War, the walls of Huainan City were rarely repaired, and the lives of ordinary people were not only within the city walls. This is especially true in most of the other Laozhou regions, except for the imperial capital Luoyang. The city wall, to a large extent, was only set up to comfort the people's psychology.

Huainan City is located in the south straight road must pass through the place, the business is prosperous, the buildings in the city are quite the style of the imperial capital, far from Fengtai small county can be compared. The confidence and satisfaction on the faces of pedestrians is also palpable. Shen Yun couldn't believe that the difference between the two places was so big that they were only fifty miles apart.

In fact, there is nothing strange about this, in the era of feudal agriculture, the common people were bound to the land, and before the Holy Ancestor, many people were afraid that they had not even been to a place twenty miles away from home. After the Holy Ancestor, all eighteen men must join the army, which also greatly expands the horizons of Han men. However, until the foundation of the agriculture-based society cannot be changed, the scope of activities of the people will not be too far from home.

Huainan City is not too far from the imperial capital, and it is still within the radiation range of the imperial capital economic circle, so on the whole, the rich imperial capital style of Huainan City can still be seen everywhere, and the city specifications are almost the same as the imperial capital.

Shen Yun looked at it for a while and felt bored, turned his head to find that Fang Cheng was still frowning, and couldn't help but say: "It is said that the hometown is timid, but I can't see the cowardice from your face at all!" ”

Fang Cheng sighed: "I just want to see my mother as soon as possible......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the coachman "shout" and stopped the carriage.

"Arrived?" Shen Yun lifted the curtain, but saw the coachman turn his head and say, "Shen Gongzi, the front is blocked for some reason, and I can't get through!" ”

Shen Yun climbed out of the car and found that there were a large number of people in front of him, which had indeed blocked the road that could accommodate four carriages.

Fang Cheng also got out of the car, carrying the luggage of the two and said, "Forget it." It's not far from my house anyway. Let's get there! He turned his head and gave the driver the fare, and asked him to go to the Yan car dealership in Huainan City to settle the bill first.

Shen Yun picked up his package and looked around, always feeling that something was wrong. Come to think of it, oh, there's less vendors. I remember in the old TV movies, when it came to the streets of ancient times. It must be full of all kinds of small traders and hawkers! But if there is no place with extremely strict "urban management" in the imperial capital, why can't you see this unique "scenery" in Huainan City?

According to the familiar routine, this street should be full of vendors setting up stalls, and then there are beautiful women riding horses galloping, and when they see that they are about to bump into children on the side of the road, Shen Yun bravely stepped forward to save people. Then it is logical to interpret this story, this beautiful woman who rides a horse will generally be troubled by the protagonist like Shen Yun.

But Shen Yun looked around, there were a lot of shops, but there were no vendors on the side, and the ground was certainly not as clean as the filming location in the film and television city, but it was not dirty.

The whole feeling is close and natural! Not so much deliberate! This is the real ancient society!

"What's going on there?" Shen Yun saw that there were at least 100 people gathered at the door of a restaurant, blocking the road, and asked curiously.

Fang Cheng glanced there. Take Shen Yun around. said casually: "I don't know, it may be Hongqing Building's price reduction!" ”

"That restaurant is Hongqing Building? A branch in Huainan? ”

After receiving an affirmative reply from Fang Cheng. Shen Yun also felt bored. Shen Yundu of Hongqing Tower in the imperial capital often visits, and he is not so interested in this place.

The crowd took up most of the street, and Fang Cheng and Shen Yun could only go to the other side of the crowd and prepare to pass through. Just as Shen Yun walked to the door of a shop called Shu Yunzhai opposite Hongqing Building, the crowd suddenly surged back, and there were mixed shouts in the inner circle.

"Let's let, let's let's fight, hey!"

"Holy shit, drop him!"

"Hurry up, it's time for the inspection later!"

"It's just ......"

The shouts of the crowd were full of excitement and anticipation.

Shen Yun was surged by the crowd, and retreated directly to Shuyun Zhai with Fang Cheng, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Damn, it turned out to be lively!" I'll just say, which restaurant will attract so many onlookers! Even if it's Hongqing Tower, it's not good! ”

As a member of the country, Shen Yun certainly understood this kind of lively mood of onlookers. I didn't get annoyed, just laughed and cursed, and prepared to wait for the crowd to disperse a little before leaving with Fang Cheng.

At this time, a person beside Shen Yun said, "The guest officer is from out of town, right?" Hey, you've just got a duel on the other side! ”

Shen Yun was a little interested. As early as when I first crossed over, I heard that duels are allowed between Han people, but there are many restrictions, generally the two sides of the duel must match the background, strength, etc., if there is too much difference, it will be recognized by the government as illegal, then wait to be punished by the "Han Criminal Law"!

Fang Cheng frowned and said, "Duel in front of this large public? The government doesn't care? ”

The man next to him said, "Tube? Hehe, who dares to care about the affairs of the Huainan Hou Mansion and the Ying Gong family?! ”

Shen Yun glanced at Fang Cheng and said strangely: "The people of the Huainan Hou Mansion are dueling with the people of the Ying Gong family?" Who's with whom? ”

The man next to him was wearing a cyan robe, wearing an arhat scarf, and a hemp rope tied around his waist, obviously a coolie who ran a warehouse, and he should usually be a character who likes to chew his tongue, seeing that Shen Yun was quite interested, he also spoke with great interest.

It turned out that ten days ago, a young man named Zhou Zhang came to Huainan with a large cart of seafood to sell, which was actually a scarce "Jiaoyu" meat (Jiao, that is, whale). For a time, the whole city of Huainan was a sensation, and the rich families sent people to buy it. That Zhouzhang's goods were all sold in less than three days. But on the fourth day, the young lady of the Huainan Hou Mansion brought her subordinates to find Zhou Zhang, saying that he bought fake "Jiaoyu" meat, and asked Zhou Zhang to return the money and apologize to the Huainan Hou Mansion.

Jiaoyu meat is fake, this news immediately caused an uproar, the people who bought Jiaoyu meat are rich families, after learning the news, they have come to ask for compensation. How can I admit it this week?! After only a quarter of an hour, Zhou Zhang shouted that he wanted to see the official and let the county guard make a decision.

When you see an official, you see an official, and the young lady of the Huainan Hou Mansion is not afraid, on one acre and three points of land in Huainan, there is really no one who is more afraid of seeing the official than the Huainan Hou Mansion. But a strange thing happened, after the county keeper opened the trial, it turned out that this meat was indeed Jiaoyu meat!

This will provoke Miss Huainan Houfu. She can't compete with the government. I can only call the elder brother of the family to judge. Her brother is also short-tempered, he can't comment on it, he is a good hand at beating people, and he directly grabbed Zhou Zhang and beat him violently, but he didn't think that Zhou Zhang was so unbeaten, Miss's brother only punched and vomited blood after only three punches and two feet, and it is said that he broke three ribs at that time. After that, Zhou Zhang didn't sue the official. Left Huainan City overnight.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but I never thought that the day before yesterday, someone from the Ying Gong family came to the door and directly gave a duel book, asking the beater to come out to fight, and signed a life and death contract. That is, a fight to the death. There must be a deathmatch until one side dies! This is a mortal feud!

"At the beginning, Zhou Zhang was beaten in front of Hongqing Building, so the people of the Ying family wanted to pick this place to beat...... I heard that Zhou Zhang turned out to be the youngest son of the contemporary Yinggong, and after three ribs were broken, he died a few days after he went back. That's why the Ying family sent people to fight to the death! The man finally concluded.

Shen Yun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and looked straight at Fang Transcript, but saw that Fang Transcript was about to be unable to suppress his vigorous anger, and listened to what the man said. Said coldly: "Go!" "Pick up the package directly. Push through the crowd and walk out.

Shen Yun didn't dare to ask the questions in his stomach, so he had to follow with his head bored. found out that Fang Cheng didn't want to squeeze into the crowd to see what was going on. Instead, he sprinted in the other direction.

"Hey, Brother Teng Yu, ...... you" Shen Yun caught up from behind and shouted.

Fang Cheng didn't look back, and said in a deep voice: "Don't ask anything, that person is not my brother, alas, I can't say no!" Anyway, it's a bit complicated......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"That person's name is Fang Zhong, and he was born to his father's outer chamber eighteen years ago. Because his mother is Youling in the Qinglou, surnamed Cao, she is a member of the Qingxu Cao family. The mother was worried that this heir would tarnish the reputation of the Fang family, so she did not allow him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. However, my father still took care of him, and although he did not enter the family tree, he was almost as good as us in all the supplies......

Sometimes my father would take him home to play with us. Fang Zhong is a bit naïve, his brothers and sisters usually look down on him, and they often tease and bully him when he was a child. This time the incident must have been caused by my little sister, I have to go back to her first to ask for clarification! After Fang Cheng finished speaking, he buried his head and hurried away.

This kind of family secret is not heard very much, generally speaking, the people in the family will be silent about these things, Fang Cheng regarded Shen Yun as a real confidant, otherwise he would never have told him. As the saying goes, the son does not say anything about the father, and Fang Cheng can't evaluate what Fang Cheng did, but it can be seen that Fang Cheng still has a good impression of this illegitimate brother.

It's just that he still has a little sister? Why haven't you heard of it before? Is it also an illegitimate child?

In fact, Shen Yun thought crookedly. In ancient times, unless a man took the initiative to ask, he would only talk about brothers and rarely about sisters when introducing his family. This is not discrimination against women, but respect and protection for one's own female relatives. Besides, Shen Yun had never asked about this.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Huainan Hou Mansion is in the west of the city, a very majestic mansion, and Bohai Hou Mansion is similar. However, this is an old state, the land is expensive, and it does not have a mountain as a back garden like the Bohai Hou Mansion.

The wide house gate, the two stone lions at the door are mighty and domineering, but the lion's head is wrapped in a white veil. Even the dismounting stones and tethering stones in front of the door were hung with white cloths. This should be the two brothers who died on the battlefield!

Fang Cheng knocked on the door, and a small door appeared on the door, and a person shouted inside, "Who?" ”

"It's me, Ah Fu, hurry up and open the door, I want to see my mother!" Fang Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Ah, it's the third young master, oh, no, it's the prince!" The doorman named Ah Fu immediately put on a smiling face, and quickly opened the door, and before he could nod or say anything, Fang Cheng rushed in and said to Menzi: "This is the Marquis of Bohai, invite him to the front hall for tea first." After saying that, he threw away his luggage and shouted: "Mother, mother!" The boy is back! The figure turned into the back house like a whirlwind, and disappeared in a flash.

The man was stunned when he heard the words "Bohai Hou", wanted to open his mouth but didn't know what to say, and finally saw him turn his head and run away like he lost his mind, leaving a string of screams: "Bo, Bohai Hou is here!" Bohai Hou is here! ”

This scream startled Shen Yun a lot. Bohai Hou is here, and it's not a devil here......

Shen Yun had never realized what a marquis's concept was for ordinary people.

In the Han Empire at this time, the etiquette of the nobles visiting each other was very complicated. For example, when Shen Yun came to Huainan Houfu as the Marquis of Bohai, he had to send someone to hand over the greeting post and agree on the time of the visit. When the Marquis of Bohai arrived, the Marquis of Huainan himself had to wait at the dismounted stone at the door. Then open the middle door wide. The two entered the house side by side. If it is a duke, the Marquis of Huainan will have to go out to welcome five or ten miles. If it is a nobleman below the marquis, the Marquis of Huainan can wait in the hall or at the door, and send someone else to greet him on his behalf. And now, the Marquis of Huainan himself is not in the house, and according to the regulations, the descendants of the Marquis of Huainan will greet him.

What if the Hou Ye and the prince are not there? Then it will be represented by the other heirs, and the worst should also be taken over by the head of the Hou Mansion. Instead of being like now, Shen Yun casually stood inside the gate of the Huainan Hou Mansion. This is extremely rude and detrimental to the reputation of the Huainan Hou Mansion.

In fact, this is also strange for Fang Qian, who was in a hurry to see his mother, but forgot to explain this.

Some people will say, can you let the Marquise go out to meet her? This is absolutely not possible in ancient feudal etiquette!

In the ancient view, the only woman who would greet guests at the door was a prostitute in the green house. Therefore, there is no reason for women to go out to greet the nobles.

Just when Shen Yun was surprised, he was inexplicable. When I didn't know where to go, I saw Menzi Ah Fu following behind a slightly chubby middle-aged man, hurrying here. Behind him were a few panting maids and Tsing Yi subordinates who were also running.

The middle-aged man was dressed in a decent brown robe, his eyebrows were clear, and he looked very good. He trotted to stand three steps in front of Shen Yun, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said hurriedly: "I don't know if the Marquis of Bohai has arrived, it's rude!" Faux pas! Geng Wang, the governor of the Hou Mansion in Xiahuainan. On behalf of Huainan Hou, welcome the Hou Ye! ”

Only then did Shen Yun realize the huge gap between his identity and the other party. I really didn't think it when I was in the imperial capital. But this feeling, it's so/awesome!

"Ugh. It's okay, Teng Yu and I are classmates, and this time I just stopped by to visit my aunt, ......"

"Master Hou can call Lao Geng under him." Geng Wang solved the difficulty of Shen Yun's title very understandingly, and said with a comfortable smile: "It's good that Master Hou doesn't blame, please inside, sit in the front hall for a while, and I will immediately send someone to invite Madame." ”

Surrounded by a group of people to the front hall, Shen Yun sat at the bottom left of the main seat, and immediately a maid served fragrant tea.

It should be said that after Afu's "poignant" voice, the whole mansion immediately knew that the Marquis of Bohai had come to the Hou Mansion of Huainan. The maid was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and when she was serving tea, she secretly looked at Shen Yun with her eyes, and the girl's unique smart eyes were full of complexity, doubts, curiosity, and a slight shyness.

What is curious is that Bohai Hou, who has been friends with Huainan Hou for generations, is so young! As for shyness, what girl doesn't have spring? Seeing Shen Yun such a young and handsome man with a noble status, a girl would be like this.

Geng Wang had been standing beside him, watching Shen Yun take a sip of tea lightly, and did not mean to speak, so he said, "Hou Ye sit widely, go down to the back house and take a look!" ”

"Hmm." Shen Yun pretended to nod calmly.

As soon as Geng Wang left, Shen Yun immediately loosened the shoulders he had been carrying, revealing a relieved look. Just now, he was called "Hou Ye" by Geng Wang, and he couldn't help but hold the aristocrat's shelf, which really made Shen Yun a little uncomfortable.

The maid standing next to her peeked at Shen Yun's appearance, and couldn't help covering the corners of her mouth and snickering.

Shen Yun also smiled awkwardly, wanting to pick up the tea and continue pretending. At this moment, a person turned in from the door of the hall like the wind, rushed in front of Shen Yun, grabbed Shen Yun's arm and shouted, "You are the Marquis of Bohai, aren't you?" ”

Shen Yun was so shocked by this that he almost spilled the tea, and subconsciously said, "Uh, yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Ah, really?! Hurry up, go, go and cancel that deathmatch! ”

Only then did Shen Yun see clearly that the person who pounced on him was a little girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, her hair was combed into a bun, her body was a tunic with green water patterns, and a light green ribbon was wrapped around her waist, and her childish face was full of anxiety at the moment. Looking at the age of only fourteen or fifteen years old, it must be the little sister that Fang Cheng said.

Just, what does it mean that she let herself cancel Deathmatch?

"Well, little sister, your brother is looking for you......" Shen Yun said with some embarrassment as he looked at the little girl who kept pulling his arm.

"I know, that's why I'm in a hurry to ask you to help me cancel the deathmatch! Otherwise, what would I do with you! Hurry up, hurry up, or it's too late! Fang Xiaomei grabbed Shen Yun and didn't let go, and kept stomping her little feet there, and Xiaoman's waist was about to break.

Just when Shen Yun didn't know how to deal with it, a woman walked in outside the hall and shouted, "Nonsense! The little sister didn't hurry up and let go of Bohai Hou! ”

The woman looked like a person in her forties, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, with a serious but unpleasant expression.

When Shen Yun saw Fang Yun following behind this woman, he immediately put down the teacup, got up and said, "Senior Shen Yun, I have seen the aunt of the Fang family!" ”

The woman is Fang Cheng's biological mother, Fang Zuo, the wife of the Hou of Huainan.

When the little girl was stopped by Fang Zuo's drink, she didn't dare to pester Shen Yun anymore, she just stood aside with a small mouth, her two little hands rubbing the corners of her clothes vigorously, and her little face was full of unwillingness. (To be continued.) )
