Chapter 3: The Eastern Capital

Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Mighty Dynasty, is really the most rich and rich, and I can't really like the storyteller said, "The market is full of pearls, and there are all kinds of Luoqi." ”

Xiao Huan and Xiao went to Chang'an, just by way of Luoyang.

Lu Dingfu had already made arrangements to stay in the Huanfu Courtyard.

Luoyang Huan's family is the most famous. The old ministers of the two dynasties of Huan Youxiang are deeply respected by the imperial court, and now they are all responsible for the internal affairs of the eastern capital and other matters. is the sons and nephews of the Huan family, and they are all peerless sons and daughters of the two capitals, from literary and rhetorical, to piano, songs, poems and paintings, to bending bows and riding and shooting, I can't wait to be all all-rounders.

Xiao Huan and the others have old acquaintances in the Huan family. In the first two years, the eldest son of the Huan family, Shizhi, once accompanied his uncle to envoy Qilan, and lived in Zhicheng for half a year, and he was the most close to Xiao Huan. The two teenagers have similar interests, literati words, horseback riding, and often go out to play together.

At that time, Xiao Yin, because of the favor of King Qilan, was particularly arrogant and noisy, and he didn't like to stay quietly in the palace with his sisters and follow the embroidery and piano with his grandmother, but he liked to pester her fourth brother to go out to play. Xiao Yin was quite noisy when she was a child, Xiao Huan was so troubled that she always liked to tease her. Bihuan Shizhi is a quiet and generous character, how the little girl makes trouble, he just smiles honestly.

At that time, Xiao Huan always liked to joke that a tricky little girl like her sister should look for a gentleman like the son of the Huan family in the future, so that she can be called a good couple. Every time, Xiao Yin would always chase after his brother and make trouble.

The carriage was busy, and the sound of the bustling market was in my ears.

Sure enough, it is the Huan family, which is powerful and famous in the eastern capital, and the official road in front of the Huan Mansion is extraordinarily magnificent.

Xiao Yin lifted the corner of the car curtain, looked at the scenery of the streets and alleys, and couldn't help but sigh: "Dongdu, it's really a good place." Unfortunately, it can't stop there. ”

Xiao Huan arched his hand, and said with a somewhat playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "I also feel sorry for my sister, but it's not that this place." ”

Xiao Yin turned his head and glared at Xiao Huan with bulging eyes.

Cai Ping smiled and said: "The lord is so old, don't mention those jokes from my childhood." ”

Huan Shizhi's calm and solemnity seems to be more prosperous than it was back then. He stood in front of the Yimen, greeting his old friends, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and arched his hands very seriously: "The son, the lord." ”

Xiao Huan immediately put away the joking expression of Fang Cai and his sister, and replied solemnly: "Lord Duwei." ”

Seeing his brother pretending to be serious like this, Xiao Yin laughed when he got out of the carriage. When the brother and sister made such a fuss, Huan Shizhi also laughed, shaking his head slightly.

"Brother Shizhi must be laughing at my sister, I haven't seen her for two years, and I haven't grown much, and I'm not as good as the girls of the two families." Xiao Huan said as he walked with Huan Shizhi to the courtyard.

"The son of the world is too modest, and Sister Qinghe's recklessness and unconventionality are really enviable. My brother Yizhi often said that the most rare thing in the world is this unconventional and unconventional courage and arrogance," Huan Shizhi said with a smile, "It's a pity that my brother is not in Luoyang now, otherwise, he and Sister Qinghe must be like-minded." ”

Huan Yizhi, isn't he the one who praised the prince at the night banquet in the Qilan Palace when he was a child, saying that he was enough to be called the same as Lin Xi?

Lin Xi......

Xiao Yin suddenly remembered something. "Brother Shizhi, is there anyone in this Luoyang who can repair the piano?" As he spoke, he took the brocade of the Jiaowei piano wrapped in the apple and opened it.

After Huan Shizhi saw it, he couldn't help frowning: "This Jiaowei Qin is all over the world, I'm afraid it has to be Mr. Fu's skill, but Mr. Fu lives in seclusion in Cheshire, so he has to go back and forth for four or five days." Sister Qinghe's stay in Luoyang is only two or three days, and I'm afraid it's too late to send someone to repair it. ”

In this way, I have to think about it in the future. Xiao Yin was silent.

"My sister is relieved, there is always a chance to find Mr. Fu," Xiao Huan comforted, "It's rare to come to Luoyang now, but you have to have a good time to live up to it." ”

This is about Xiao Yin's little girl's temperament.

Although he only stayed at Huan's house for two or three days, Xiao Yin felt very comfortable.

It's not exactly for the prosperity of Luoyang. Rather, there is a kind of relaxed freedom that has not been seen for a long time.

Since they set off from Zhicheng, Lu Zhanshi and Deng Yao can't wait to linger around them all the time.

That day, by Yanbo Lake, she was angry for a while and humiliated Deng Yao in public. I was really ashamed afterwards, but it diluted my previous annoyance for Deng Yao. But Rao is like this, she still has a very bad impression of these prince's retainers: they seem to be facing the enemy all the time, but they have to hold everything upside and serve the arrogant head of the East Palace, even if it is a simple matter, it must be tedious.

Especially Deng Yao. He was dedicated, and he couldn't wait to keep an eye on Xiao Huan and Xiao Yin's chariot all the time.

Qingping World, and the person who the prince of Da Zhou is going to pick up, can he still run away. Xiao Yin always muttered in his heart.

The past two days have been very good, Lu Zhan doesn't know what he is busy with, and even Deng Yao no longer dangles in front of her every day, but just sends a thin and agile black armor guard to follow.

I was even happier that I was able to go out with my brother and them in the evening.

"What a place of prosperity and prosperity." Xiao Huan looked at the dazzling scenery along the street and couldn't help sighing.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, although it's not as good as the New Year, but it's also a lively and fun time of the year in the Eastern Capital."

"Drunk wine in the world, idle comments on the world." Xiao Yin raised his head and read word by word. A beautiful loft with wide eaves facing the street, with some wooden braces sticking out from high and low, and the flags rolling. When I went inside, I saw that the inside was also delicately decorated. On the first floor, there are scattered half-new Huanghuali tables and chairs, surrounded by a wooden table in the middle, which is a bit like a storytelling field.

"This drunken immortal residence can be regarded as an interesting place in Luoyang." Huan Shizhi said with a smile, "Those literati and even some strange people and madmen in the market like to come here to sit: either talk loudly, or poetry is flourishing. There are a lot of arrogant words, but sometimes I hear unexpected opinions. ”

"I don't care if I don't see it," Xiao Huan was a little happy, "As early as Qilan, I heard that there is a Mu girl in Luoyang's drunken immortal residence, who has a gorgeous crown in the eastern capital and an extraordinary demeanor, and what is especially wonderful is that this girl also has the only mulberry in the world." Today, my brother and I have to drink a thousand cups. ”

Xiao Yin cut his hands behind his back, looked at his brother with a smile and said, "I'm afraid that the drunkard is not in the bar." Huan Shizhi was used to seeing this brother and sister's play, so he just smiled.

Before a few people could find a place to sit down, they saw a middle-aged man with a short figure, holding a folding fan, sitting in front of the wooden case in the center with a loud voice, and said loudly: "This time, I will talk about this repeated general of the previous dynasty of the Di clan." ”

Di is one of the many tribes in Mobei, the early years of strength is not strong, although the Di people are more brave, but sandwiched between the powerful Zhou and other tribes in the north, between the cracks to survive, it is inevitable to rely on the strong Zhou or the northwest from time to time. The literati of the Central Plains read a few books, and they were conceited and arrogant, and most of them hated that they could not die to protect the festival, and they despised such behavior.

"In the first year, I was a big Zhou, humiliated the whole family, bowed down to the ministers, and in the next year, Qiang Qian said a little, and even paid tribute to the New Year's coin. It's really worthy of the name of this "repeated general......" The middle-aged man laughed mockingly while exhausting his sarcastic words.

Xiao Yin frowned slightly, but when he looked around, most of them were approving.

The Di people are civilized and backward, and they have always been despised by the Central Plains people, but they are fierce and martial, and occasional conflicts will always make blood splash on the spot. What's more, in the past two or three years, Di seems to have sent a lot of dark people with strong martial arts to operate in the Central Plains, which made people panic.

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Yin felt that although this man's speech seemed to be unfair, it was understandable.

But someone was determined to get up and speak.
