Luoyang City in the cold winter is covered in silver, every household is full of lights, and the red lanterns are hung high, adding a bit of enchanting and gorgeous lively atmosphere to this world of gray walls and blue tiles. The Chinese New Year is coming soon.

After three or four months of repairs and tidying up, the imperial capital began to gradually show its popularity and former prosperity.

A big carriage stopped in front of the mansion of Lord Liu, the imperial historian of Zhongshu Province, and after the carriage stopped, a maid wearing a green plain jacket and gray cotton pants got out of the car, and then opened the curtain and said to the people inside: "It's a lot of snow, girl, you can slip carefully when you come out." With that, he stretched out his hand to help.

A small hand like an ice carving stretched out of the car, and then Zheng Dache stretched out his head from the car to look at the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky, and said secretly in his heart: "This year seems to be colder than last year." Then he frowned.

The doorman who waited in front of the door saw that Master Liu's distinguished guest had arrived, so he hurriedly sent someone down to help greet him, and went in to report it himself.

Master Liu had been waiting in the living room with a group of colleagues for a long time, and he heard that Zheng Dache, the first family in the capital, had arrived, so they all sorted out their clothes and hats, and waited for the beauty.

As soon as the maid lifted the curtain, Zheng Dache hurriedly entered the living room and enjoyed the warmth of the sun. There are indeed two worlds inside and outside the house, the world outside the house is the world of the poor, and the world inside the house is the world of the powerful and nobles. Although there is only one door apart, it can never be integrated.

Zheng Dache's little face was flushed, and he tried his best to warm a pair of small hands, looking pitiful. These actions stunned Master Liu and others present, she is worthy of being the first charming woman in the literary and artistic circles in Beijing, although she is only in her twenties, she has been mixed in the capital's celebrities and dignitaries since her debut at the age of fourteen. Over the years, she has seen a young and handsome son with a generous hand, and she has also been pursued by a middle-aged uncle with a successful career, and even a prince wanted to accept her as a concubine for a while. But the world's evaluation of her is based on her appearance, and they all say that she has a heart that will bring disaster to the country and the people, and she exudes a foxy atmosphere all over her body, and she is the life of the demon concubine Daji.

It is really a sin for a woman to be beautiful, and she also understands that it is not her own fault, but the skin given by her parents is too charming to all beings, and there are always men who admire her who can't ask for it, and there are always envious women who are jealous of her and slander her. At the age of twelve, she fought against fate and ran away from the landlord's house to wander and was almost sold to a brothel in order to get rid of her father-in-law's endless entanglement.

Later, after rescuing the owner of a drama garden, he taught her to sing and make a play. But it didn't take long for her to frame her because she sang well, and the owner of the opera garden was also a beast, and one night she got drunk and actually entered her bedroom and wanted to rape her, so she had to flee again and go all the way south to the capital Luoyang.

At the age of fourteen, she met a noble son Hu in a theater in Luoyang, this Hu was the fourth son of the Taishi family, the family was very rich, and every time she came to see her play, she spent a lot of money. In the face of Hu's strong pursuit, she is a weak woman after all, and she always wants to find someone to rely on and protect herself. So I followed him sincerely, but I didn't know that in less than a year, Hu Mou changed his mind, hooked up with a certain prince's woman, and ignored her more and more fiercely, she always chose to swallow her anger.

Once Hu Mou wanted to take money from her to buy gifts to make the princess happy, she didn't give it and then quarreled with Hu, Hu Mou was angry and beat her, and scolded arrogantly: "You are just a plaything I raised, do you really think you can be a noble person in the Taishi Mansion?" Lao Tzu has spent a lot of money on you over the years, and you have it all because of Lao Tzu today. Then he slammed the door and left, never to come back.

When she was seventeen years old, she met a middle-aged uncle who cared for her and took care of her meticulously: Henan Xingtai Cheng Wang, this Wang is nearly fifty years old, with a righteous face, and usually speaks and does things like a gentleman, but since he has seen Zheng Dache sing, he has never forgotten this woman, so he did everything possible to approach her and please her. She has lacked family care since she was a child, and it is easy to be captured by a love veteran like Wang.

Half a year later, she found out that she was pregnant, and wanted Wang to marry her and take her back to her hometown to live in peace. Who knew that Wang, who was gentle and elegant on weekdays, actually asked her to kill the child, because he had been married in his hometown a long time ago, and the children were the same age as her. Wang never thought about bringing a drama back to his hometown, isn't this a shame for himself and his family, there are two things that are very important in the countryside in ancient times: family reputation and family style.

After seeing through Wang's true face, she was like ashes, and after sacrificing her life to beat the child, she resolutely parted ways with the sanctimonious Wang. From then on, she relied on no one, no one believed, and lived only for herself between heaven and earth. Those rich people who are full of promises and generous will never enter her world again. If you want to kiss Fangze, that's a dream.

thought that Gao Huan helped her at the beginning, which made her a little moved, but later saw that he already had a family, so he resolutely changed Gao Huan from Engong to an ordinary friend in his heart, and there was no possibility of further development.

Now that she has returned to Luoyang, she can enjoy the same glory and wealth as the princes and nobles, and she can have the same protection and security as them. Today's visit to the palace of Lord Liu was also entrusted by Master Shangshuli before.

Liu Yushi had heard about Zheng Dache's fame when he was still serving in Huainan, and he had long wanted to see Fangrong, and after he was transferred back to Beijing (thinking that a large number of central officials had died, Murong Heng suggested that Gao Huan transfer all the local officials with good political performance back to the central government) has been inquiring about Zheng Dache's whereabouts, and later learned that she was in Li Shangshu's mansion and visited her many times to explain her wishes, so there was a scene of singing in Liu's mansion today.

Several old men looked at this beautiful and delicate beauty, and they all looked stupid, Zheng Dache looked up and saw the old men in the room staring at him one by one, covering his mouth with the back of his hand and smiling: "Are you old men baked by this fire?" All of them are red-faced and red-eared. ”

When everyone heard this, they were embarrassed about their gaffes, and Master Liu stepped forward and said: "I have heard the girl's name for a long time, I am really fortunate to see it today, and the girl is really born beautiful and amazing." Several officials behind him nodded in agreement.

Everyone sat down separately, Master Liu asked the servants to go down to prepare wine and food, and Zheng Dache asked the maids to also prepare instrumental music, costumes or something, and prepared to sing and dance for the officials and gentlemen for a while.

This Mr. Liu is almost forty years old this year, he lost his wife in his early years, and he has a ten-year-old daughter under his knees, and his life as a widower for many years makes him feel that he may have to spend his life in boredom.

Master Liu raised his glass and said, "Everyone, we are here today, and Miss Zheng can cheer you up, so we should toast her first." After that, they raised their glasses and toasted Zheng Dache. It is unheard of for a court official to toast a singing woman as respectfully as he treats the emperor.

Zheng Dache covered his mouth and smiled, and his voice was as beautiful as a yellow warbler, and he said: "I am in the name of Lord Shangshu, and I have come to cheer you up for singing and dancing. ”

Mr. Liu held a wine glass in one hand, walked up to Zheng Dache, and said very respectfully: "The girl is not only talented, but also has the demeanor of everyone's ladies. After that, he stared at Zheng Dache intently, and then drank the wine in his hand.

Li Shangshu escaped during the Luoyang Rebellion, and met Zheng Dache who happened to be fleeing, so he took her with him, and later Gao Huan beat away Erzhu Dulu, Luoyang returned to the peaceful days of the world, and Li Shangshu came back to Luoyang under the call of the imperial court to return to Luoyang as Shangshu. Zheng Dache also came back with Li Shangshu.

The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river. At a time when the world was in turmoil, these court officials did not have the slightest concern for the country and the people, and they were completely focused on the sweet dreams of drunken life and death. It has to be said that this was a common phenomenon at that time. As the saying goes, the extremes of things must be reversed, and the world must be united for a long time, and the later Sui and Tang dynasties were not created by correcting the shortcomings of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

But at this moment, everyone is still very happy and happy to drink and have fun, as the so-called today there is wine and today is drunk. The courtesans sang with Zheng Dache's singing, and the dancers danced, which was a peaceful scene.

Zheng Dache sang and sang, and the impression of a person suddenly flashed in his mind, Gao Huan!

At this time, Gao Huan, who was wearing a white Qiu Yu jade tree in the wind and was watching the snow scene in the yard, suddenly sneezed. The heart is that the weather is really cold, and I have a cold? Qiu Niang came out of the house and said to Gao Huan: "The weather outside the house is cold, and the young lady asked the officials to come into the house to keep warm." ”

Gao Huan turned around and smiled, and said chicly: "This snow scene in Luoyang is indeed beautiful, tell the lady, I will come immediately." ”

Men are always like this, after losing a relationship, they will always immediately find another relationship to fill the lack in their hearts. Of course, most ordinary people can't be so superior, only a few powerful people can, and Gao Huan is certainly one.

When he lost Lou Mingchun, he was drunk and forcibly accepted Ruyi, who was only fifteen years old, of course, Ruyi itself was also voluntary and happy. Later, Ruyi died unexpectedly, so he repeated his old tricks and married Er Zhu Caihuang as his wife. From this point of view, Ruyi is really not worth it, because Gao Huan never gave her a name from beginning to end.

But when someone scolds Gao Huan for being unkind, the author also has to stand up and say a fair word: It is precisely because of an accident like Ruyi that Gao Huan will now cherish the people around him very much. It is precisely because he was not able to give Ruyi a name that caused regret, so now he has to take responsibility for his own woman, and the care and reputation should be the same.

Gao Huan was about to step into the house, only to see Gao Yue come to Gao Huan's side with a head of goose feathers and heavy snow, and said, "King, the emperor has summoned you to enter the palace immediately." "This emperor is not Emperor Jing Yuanye, because after Yuanye's death, Erzhu Dulu was afraid that Gao Huan would take control of the government after fleeing north and annexing the state, so he persuaded Erzhu Zhao to support Yuangong, the king of Guangling, as the emperor.

This Yuan Gong is also a funny person, because he was afraid of being killed by other royal relatives, he even pretended to be crazy and stupid and spent eight years in the pigsty, even the most cowardly Yuan Ye despised him, and once said that he had no imperial blood, and no one cared about him. From this, it can also be seen that Er Zhuzhao and others have been in a hurry to go to the doctor and mess with the system of the imperial court.

In order to confront Er Zhu Zhao and their support for the puppet emperor, Gao Huan accepted the advice of Murong Heng and the imperial ministers of the court, and supported Yuan Xiu as the emperor, known as the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty. This Yuan Xiu is relatively mediocre, and Gao Huan first reluctantly accepted the list of royal ministers, not wanting to really support him. Another Gao Huan's heart was full of guilt for Yuan Ruyi, although she was very uninterested in her brother, but under the premise of loving the house and Wu, she was full of guilt for Ruyi, and she still made Yuan Xiu the emperor.

Who knew that this Yuan Xiu, as always, had the mediocre and incompetent nature of the Northern Wei royal family, greedy for money and lustful. Only seven days after ascending the throne, he canonized more than a dozen concubines, and without Gao Huan's consent, he arbitrarily appointed several eunuchs who had followed him when he was in the palace to make the history of state pastoral assassination. This Yuan Xiu thinks that if it is all his own today, what is the point of appointing a few officials.
