Chapter 16: Gains and Losses
Han Jian handed the harmonica forward, but Yang Li'er didn't answer, and her face was suspicious. Only then did Han Jian notice that there was still a young girl standing next to Yang Li'er, who looked very honest and might be a maid, but she had been staring at Wen'er, with a look on her face that she wanted to get to know Wen'er.
Han Jian refocused his gaze on Yang Li'er, and said with a smile: "Why, don't you believe this thing can make a sound?" β
Yang Li'er glared at Han Jian and said, "I still don't believe it." β
Han Jian put the harmonica to his mouth, blew a few notes casually, and then handed it forward and said, "Is it credible now?" β
Yang Li'er saw Han Jian holding a harmonica and blowing it on her mouth, and handed it over with saliva, and felt a little disgusted, after all, she has been pampered for a long time, and she has a habit of cleanliness on weekdays.
"I don't want to forget it." Han Jian said, "Then the piano will belong to me, thank you Miss for cutting your love." β
Han Jian said that he was about to leave with the qin, and Yang Li'er was behind him, "Hey!" With a sound, Han Jian turned around again, handed the harmonica forward, and said, "Do you want love?" β
Yang Li'er was angry, but still took the harmonica.
Then she saw the man in front of her, whose face made her feel a little disgusted, carrying Jiao Liuqin on his back and walking away, while the group fight upstairs because of him was still going on, and Pan Fuzi was also beaten very badly.
Yang Li'er has always felt hatred, thinking of the man's teeth itching, but on the way back, she couldn't stop thinking. Yang Li'er hurriedly let her mind get rid of the memories of the man.
"Yang Li'er, that's a bad person, don't think about it!" She said to herself.
Sometimes people's brains are very strange, and the more they want to forget, the more they can't forget.

On the way back to Dongwang Villa, Han Jian was in a good mood.
lost a guitar and gave a beautiful woman a harmonica, but picked up a broken scorched liuqin, which was not a loss for him, and even some earned. It's just that Wen'er was sullen all the way, and she still remembered what Han Jian said, Han Jian said that this Jiao Liuqin can only recover a little bit of the loss of the guitar, and she has no time to think about it, so she will take it seriously.
"What, little girl, are you distressed?" Han Jian looked at Wen'er's face with displeasure and teased her.
"Hmm." Wen'er pouted, looked at Han Jian with Chu Chu and said, "Young master, the guitar is gone, and the harmonica is gone." Why are you so happy to have to come back with such a? β
"You don't understand that, do you? Go back and find someone to fix this thing, it's worth a lot of money. Back in Jiangdu, I want to make a few guitars and harmonicas, and there is only one thing in the world. Han Jian touched Wen'er's face that could almost squeeze out water, "In the future, if you want to dance with the guitar or sing with the harmonica, you can't help it?" β
Hearing Han Jian say that she could redo guitar and harmonica when she returned to Jiangdu, Wen'er was not so sad, "mmmm" twice, and finally saw a long-lost smile on her face.
Han Jian happily carried Jiao Liuqin back to the Dongwangfu Courtyard, but before he entered the door, he was blocked by the third aunt, and before he could explain, the third aunt had already "confiscated" his Jiao Liuqin.
The third aunt's face was very bad.
"Sanniang, what are you doing here?"
The third aunt, Han Cuishi, glanced at him and said, "You stinky boy, you do good things outside, think Sanniang doesn't know?" You beat Pan Fuzi and broke someone's piano, and now Sanniang took the piano to someone to repair it, hurry up and send it back to the master, and apologize to the master! β
Han Jian said with a look of injustice: "Which bastard is this who chews his tongue in front of Sanniang?" When did I beat that old horseman? Also, he didn't want to break the piano himself, so it doesn't have much to do with me. β
Han Jian said that he also felt that he was at a loss, and Pan Fuzi's "madness" was also because of his provocation in the final analysis.
"Don't talk about it!" The third aunt is well-known among Han Jian's many aunts for being "hard-mouthed and soft-hearted", but this time her heart also hardened, "You just have to reflect on yourself in the courtyard, you are forbidden to go anywhere for the past two days." The day after tomorrow, His Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace, and you will prepare well behind closed doors. β
Han Jian looked humbly taught, turned his head, stuck out his tongue, and said to Wen'er: "This time is really empty of people and money." I knew that the harmonica would not be given away. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Han Cui's status in the palace is second only to Han Jian's second aunt Han Song, and her words are very effective, she doesn't allow Han Jian to go out, so Han Jian can only stay in the palace courtyard honestly.
But Han Cui's ears are very soft, which has long been "mastered" by Han Jian, and at noon the next day, Han Jian blew wind in Han Cui's ears and said good things, and Han Cui's attitude softened.
"You kid, fortunately you didn't reveal your identity in Cuiyang Building." Han Cuishi heard Han Jian come over and say good things, as if he had been prepared, glanced at him and said, "However, I heard that you play the stringless piano and compare Pan Fuzi to you, so Sanniang is impressed by you." I will allow you to go out for an afternoon today, but don't be too late, tomorrow there will be a banquet from His Majesty, and you will not be out of spirit. β
"Sanniang is really a flower and a moon, and she looks like a fairy, I wish Sanniang a permanent appearance, immortality, and a ...... of domination of the rivers and lakes."
Han Jian said good things on his lips, but the person had already pulled Wen'er to spread her legs and slip away. Han Cuishi pondered Han Jian's words for a long time before he realized that this kid was just making up some clichΓ©s to coax her.
"Stinky boy!" She had a smile on her face, but she still scolded softly.
Han Jian pulled Wen'er out of the door, and the guards also followed from behind, and the little county king traveled, and the guards were inseparable wherever he went.
Han Jian looked at the direction of the intersection first, and didn't know where to go, so he had to go to Qingxu Yashe first to find two friends, Ruan Ping and Sima Yi.
When they arrived at Qingxu Yashe, Ruan Ping and Sima Yi were dining, Sima Ping went out to travel the world, so he was unrestrained, and Ruan Ping came to the capital to take the exam, but in the past few days, Ruan Ping was pulled by Sima Yu to play all over the city, and he didn't have the heart to read books.
It's wild, and it's hard to take it back. Han Jian only hated his body for not fighting for his health, he was sick for a few days, and before he came to Luoyang, the emperor's banquet was about to start, and he would soon return home.
He couldn't get enough of it, but he also wanted to meet his father's ex-girlfriend, the empress who was in charge of the Wei Dynasty's government and had a strong political hand.
Han Jian went upstairs, Ruan Ping and Sima Yi greeted him and beckoned him to sit down, Sima Yu smiled and said: "Young boy, you can really do it, last night in Cuiyang Building, Pan Fuzi lost face, is that you?" β
Han Jian frowned and said, "How do you know?" β
Sima Yu smiled evilly: "It's not easy? Today's new "Pan Fuzi Sits on Words and Deeds" is all over the street, just buy a copy and read it, you will know what happened yesterday. The one who played the 'stringless piano', Ruan Ping and I knew at a glance that it was you, the young son. β
What happened yesterday is being published in a book today? Han Jianxin said that the booksellers in the capital are almost as efficient as publishing books in newspapers. He thought that he had been in Luoyang for a while, and he had been preparing to open the Three Kingdoms Book Company to Luoyang City, but he had never started to prepare.
"It's quite efficient. Go back and buy this and come back and see. Han Jian said casually, and then asked, "Where are you going to play today?" β
Sima said: "There is no arrangement in the afternoon, but in the evening, Ruan Ping and I are going to meet a singer from the Western Capital, and I heard that many people in Luoyang City want to go to see it." β
Han Jian knew that the "Western Capital" of the Wei Dynasty was in Guanzhong, but it was not Chang'an City, but the capital of the Western King's jurisdiction, about 400 miles west of Chang'an, which was also the old capital of Xiliang. It has been less than 20 years since Xiliang destroyed the country.
"That Xidu singer, no one knows her real name, others call her Xiliu girl, I heard that singing is like a lark, few people have seen it in Xidu, this time she went to Luoyang City with the King of the West and went to Luoyang City, and was attached to the Qingyue Fang performance, Qingyue Fang has long been widely invited among the officials and sons of Luoyang City, and many people are also for a glimpse." Sima Yi glanced at Han Jian as he spoke, and said, "Young boy, let's go, you're afraid...... We can't go together. The princess told us that you are going to attend the palace banquet tomorrow, and I am afraid that you will ...... today."
Han Jianxin said that he wanted to beat him, and said dissatisfiedly: "The banquet is tomorrow night, not daytime." Even if it's all night today, it won't affect the feast. Such a good thing, count me in. β
Sima Yi smiled, since he had told Han Jian, he naturally wanted to go with Han Jian, and if he said no, it was just a procedural talk.
"That's it...... Invitations are not easy to get. But I'm going to buy one, anyway, many dignitaries don't necessarily want to see it and listen to it. Those who want to go may not have time. β
Han Jian felt in his pocket, came out in a hurry, and didn't bring any silver.
"How much silver is enough?" Han Jian asked.
"Two or three taels of silver is enough, plus some necessary expenses, the three of us will need almost ten taels of silver."
Han Jian didn't say anything, Ruan Ping was distressed at first, this time he came to the capital to take the exam, and he only brought a total of ten taels of silver, after all, he had no father and no mother, and he came from a humble background, so these ten taels were scraped together for him by the academy. However, he ate and drank along the way, either Sima borrowed or used the palace, and he didn't let him spend any money.
Sima was born in Sima Mansion, Jiangdu, and was the son of Sima's family, and he didn't bring much silver on this trip, but also brought more than 1,000 taels of silver tickets.
"The silver is wrapped around me." Sima said, "After eating, we will first go to the money village to exchange the silver." I don't have that much silver on my body. β
