In 190 AD, Qingzhou, Beihai County.

A young man dressed in a gorgeous costume walked slowly on the market, admiring the buildings on both sides, the spacious and bright streets, touching this, looking at that, full of curiosity about everything.

He was holding a white feather fan, and he was handsome and chic, which attracted frequent flirts from roadside girls; And behind him was a delicate-looking Lori girl, with two ponytails, and followed with small steps across the basket.

"That girl, do you often go out shopping, do you buy beautiful things or not?"

"Young master, how many times have I said it, don't call me girl, my name is Fluttershy, I am your personal maidservant, and you will call yourself young master in the future."

The maid named Fluttershy is really annoyed by her young master, and since she woke up from a serious illness this morning, she doesn't remember a lot of things, but she only shouts to go shopping.

"Young Master Ben knows, girl."

“……”

"Then if you come across a good-looking rouge, buy it or not."

"Master, Fluttershy's monthly money is only one or two pieces of silver, how can you be willing to buy it, you don't need to buy something that looks good, and Fluttershy can't use these things now."

"Since we have gone out shopping, you can buy whatever you like, and treat it as a gift from the young master."

"Master Xiexie." Fluttershy says.

"Did you bring the silver taels?"

"Young master, take it."

———————————————

Entering the West Market, Ye Hao immediately felt the difference inside, only to see all kinds of shops open all over the main street, surrounded by countless shouts and shouts, people coming and going, revealing a prosperous scene.

The air here is very fresh, completely different from the modern air, you must know that there is no such thing as environmental pollution in ancient times. This was the first time Ye Hao had gone shopping since he crossed, and he was not familiar with this place, so he began to wander around under the leadership of the little girl.

The little girl is at the age of playfulness, if it was in the past, his young master usually went straight to the destination, and rarely had the opportunity to go so carefully, which made the little girl very excited, and the little mouth chirped non-stop, pointing at all kinds of small things.

"Sell sugar gourds, sweet and sour sugar gourds."

"Burnt cakes, sell baked cakes—"

"Dates, fragrant and crispy dates, five copper plates a catty."

When the little girl heard the sugar gourd, her eyes lit up, and she jumped up to the stall owner selling the sugar gourd and asked, "Uncle, how do you sell this sugar gourd?" ”

"Two copper plates in a string."

"Uncle, why is it expensive? Wasn't it a string of copper plates before? ”

The stall owner said: "That was the price half a year ago, and now there are wars for years, and everything is expensive; If you buy someone else's, you need three copper plates in a string, and I'm cheap enough. ”

Ye Hao walked to the stall and glanced back at the little girl, who wanted to buy but was hesitant and pitiful, and couldn't bear to say to the stall owner: "Boss, come to three strings, it's cheaper."

"Five copper plates give you three strings."

"Girl, give money."

The little girl took five copper plates from her pocket and handed them to the old man, and the stall owner happily handed over the three strings of sugar gourds to the little girl, "Here you go, take it." ”

"Uncle Xiexie." The little girl picked up a string of sugar gourds and smashed them in her mouth, and handed the remaining two strings to Ye Hao, "Young master, you can taste it too, it's delicious." ”

Ye Hao took it and tasted it, the taste was still very sour, the sugar gourd of this period was made of sand and hawthorn, which is the so-called sucrose, which is half a rarity, so it is more expensive to sell.

Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty wrote "Seven Distinctions", which has the title of "sand and stone honey". The so-called "saga" refers to crystalline sugar products. We know that starch sugars are viscous, and in order to get crystalline sugars, there is no second substitute other than sucrose. It should be said that at least in the Eastern Han Dynasty, people were able to eat sucrose products with granulated sugar prototypes.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiangzuo's "Cane Inscription" said: "Although the cane is sweet, it cannot be canned, and it is not possible to please others." In the inscription, Liu Xiang uses the characteristics of sugarcane as an analogy for people's common sense, which shows that sugarcane was already quite common among the people at that time.

The two walked all the way, walked all the way, and only turned half a street, the little girl carried more than a dozen things in her hands, and Ye Hao also bought a lot of fruits, fabrics and gadgets for Ye Fu, all of which were carried in the little girl's basket.

The little girl who ate the sugar gourd almost glued a small mouth together, and said to Ye Hao: "Young master, you are different from before!" ”

"What's different?"

"The boldness has become bigger, and the people have become stingy."

"Oh...... Didn't I use to be bad? Tell me what I used to look like. Ye Hao asked.

"The young master is gifted and intelligent, he can compose poetry at the age of 7, but when he grows up, he becomes stupid and can't sing poetry; The young master likes to gamble, but he always loses, the young master likes to sneak the butt of a beautiful girl, and he also likes to go shopping, and he always goes to talk about life with Ying'er from Chunxiang Building... The young master is very handsome, and he is the person that many young ladies like, and he is famous in the drama county. ”

“……”

"Although the young master has a stubborn temperament and acts absurdly, he has never treated slaves and maids badly, and he is also extremely filial to his wife."

"Girl, you're really going to tell the truth."

"Well, Fluttershy is the most honest."

Ye Hao began to admire his predecessor, but he didn't expect to go so far, he thought about it and continued: "Girl, then do you like the previous young master, or the current young master." ”

The little girl scratched her head, thought for a while, and then said, "Young master, the slave likes the current young master." ”

"Why?"

"Because the young master now will play with Fluttershy, which is very kind." The little girl replied casually.

Ye Hao touched the little girl's little brain, "Since you think so highly of me, I will follow the young master to mix well in the future to ensure that you live comfortably!" ”

"Well, I believe in the young master." The little girl nodded.

After looking at a few fat powder shops and jewelry stores, Ye Hao also bought some rouge gouache and a few delicate small jewelry for the little girl, during which he passed by many mansions, Ye Hao saw the largest and most magnificent mansion, on which two big characters were written in strong and powerful traditional characters: Confucius Mansion.

Ye Hao couldn't help asking: "Who lives here, how can there be such a big yard?" ”

The little girl said: "This is Kong Taishou's mansion, and he has the most power in the entire Beihai County. ”

Ye Hao suddenly said, it is now the first year of Chuping, thinking that this Beihai County Taishou should be Kong Rong's,

Thinking about Kong Rong, Ye Hao is very familiar with him, he was born in a famous family, and he is also the 20th grandson of Old Master Kong, the son of Kong Zhou, the commander of Taishan. What Ye Hao remembers the most is that when he was a 4-year-old doll, he could know what it meant to respect the old and love the young, eat small pears, and let big pears.

The record in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is, Kong Rong, the word Wenju; Literary scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an". There are few talents, diligent and studious, and Pingyuan Tao Qiuhong, Chen Liubian Rang and called handsome.

Just when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government and wanted to abolish Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty, Kong Rong argued with him, and his rhetoric was fierce, and there were often Kuang Zheng's words. Dong Zhuo held a grudge, so he turned him into a councilor, and then sent Kong Rong to Beihai State, where the Yellow Turban Army was most rampant.

After Kong Rong arrived in Beihai, he raised troops to talk about martial arts, crusaded against Zhang Rao, the Yellow Turban Army, was defeated, and transferred to Zhuxu County. After the city, the school was established, showing Confucianism and recommending the virtuous Zheng Xuan, Peng Xuan, Bing Yuan, etc. Because of his political voice, the people of the time also called him "Kong Beihai", and he is now also the acting state pastor of Qingzhou.

Ye Hao put away the white feather fan, touched his chin, recalled the memories in his mind, and secretly analyzed in his heart, Kong Rong's current fame, status, and background in Beihai may have won the hearts of the people, so he should think of a way.

"Why didn't the young master leave, did you want to go see Madame?" The little girl asked with some confusion.

"Ma'am?" Ye Hao frowned, also a little puzzled.

"Young master, have you forgotten that Kong Huaiyu, the daughter of this Confucian Mansion, is your unmarried wife. Oh...... I forgot, the young master has amnesia. ”

Ye Hao couldn't help asking, "Is this serious?" ”

"The young master and Kong Qianjin were contracted when they were young, and now the whole Beihai County knows about it."

"How old is Kong Huaiyu now?

"Probably fifteen or sixteen?"

"Ah, she's in such a hurry?" Ye Hao was surprised.

He had a hunch. The story in history is not necessarily true, if it is true, Kong Huaiyu is only seven or eight years old now.

According to historical records, in the fifth year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao killed Kong Rong's family, she was only twelve years old, but she was calm and calm. "Fearless to death.

After Cao Cao learned about this, he said, "He will grow up in the future, and this woman must not be in the pool", although he felt that it was a pity to kill, but he had to kill. In the Three Kingdoms, those who can get Cao Cao's praise don't think much, it seems that history is always history, not necessarily true.

After thinking about it, Ye Hao tidied up his clothes, and then strode towards the Confucian Mansion.

“zhanzhu。” A man who looked like a family man stopped them and said to the two of them excitedly: "The Confucian Mansion does not allow idle people to break in casually. ”
