Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 52 The First Entry into Wancheng 2

Wu Yong looked at the person who spoke, and saw a young man about his age, hugging and hugging towards this side.

When Steward Wang saw the visitor, his face suddenly changed, he gave Wu Yong a look, hid the meat bun in his hand behind him, and then said with a smile: "The little marquis must have seen it wrong, how can he steal food, but he is hungry, just find something to pad his stomach." ”

Suddenly, the marquis pushed aside the guards in front of him, ran behind Steward Wang with a smoke, grabbed his hand, and said with a smile: "You dare to quibble, now the human and material evidence are all there!" ”

After that, he snatched the meat bun and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, and suddenly an attractive fragrance hit his heart, making him swallow his saliva and couldn't help but want to take a bite.

At this time, a voice hurriedly interrupted him, "Master Hou, be careful of poison!" ”

"Huh!" The boy was stunned, and he didn't know what to do with it for a while.

Then I saw a young entourage, panting and running to the young man's side, and said with a flattering smile: "Hou Ye give the food in his hand to the villain, and let the villain test the poison for Hou Ye." ”

The young man looked at the food that was constantly emitting fragrance in his hand, and although he was reluctant, he saw the tooth marks on it that had been bitten by the king's steward, and finally handed it to his entourage.

The man took the steamed bun, sniffed it carefully with his nose, then took a careful bite, and suddenly an indescribable taste exploded in his mouth, and he couldn't help but cry.

The young man thought he was poisoned, and asked with some concern: "Hey, Wang Er, what's wrong with you, it can't be really poisonous, right?" ”

Wang Er was stunned, came back to his senses, wiped his tears, and said excitedly: "Master Hou, the little one is really touched, the little one has never eaten such delicious food, and you actually rewarded the little one!" ”

"You bastard!" The boy kicked him angrily.

Wang Er didn't take it seriously, hid aside with the meat bun, and ate it carefully.

The young Hou Ye had no choice but to ask the king steward, "Do you still have any food?" ”

Steward Wang shook his head, "Little Marquis, there is only that one, and you took it." ”

The young man glanced at Wang Er's side, saw the sweetness of his food, and suddenly became angry, and shouted, "Wang Er, don't eat, go and search the carriage for Ben Hou, and find out all the food for Ben Hou." ”

When Wang Er heard that there was still something to eat, he was suddenly excited, hurriedly put the meat bun in his hand in his arms, and ran towards the carriage pulled by Li Zhong in high spirits.

When Wu Yong saw this, he was worried that they would damage the food prepared for the Taishou family in the carriage, so he shouted loudly: "Stop! ”

The young Hou Ye saw that Wu Yong was about the same age as himself, and saw that he was dressed and temperamental, so he asked with some hesitation, "Who are you?" Dare to stop Ben Hou from doing things? ”

"Who are you? Don't you know that if you don't ask, you are stealing? Wu Yong asked rhetorically.

I saw that the young man's chest was straightened, and he said loudly: "I am waiting for Liu Jing, my father is too often Liu Yi, boy, do you dare to report your name?" ”

Wu Yong heard him shout like this, and was sure that this was a lawless lord, and if he didn't get it right, he would get into trouble for his own family, so he smiled and sang: "I am an ordinary man in the world, invite the moon to drink a cup of nothing, and sing the bitterness of parting in this world!" ”

Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said angrily: "Boy, you dare to tease Ben Hou, come here, arrest him for Ben Hou, Ben Hou will teach him a good lesson today." ”

This instantaneous change made Steward Wang a little dazzled, and when everyone rushed to Wu Yong, he hurriedly shouted: "Stop, this Xiao Langjun is to deliver food to the Taishou Mansion, if something goes wrong, you can't afford to be guilty." ”

Liu Jing sneered: "It's just a Chen Qiu, Ben Hou will be afraid of him, don't stop, today Ben Hou must clean up this stinky boy who dares to tease Ben Hou." ”

Steward Wang was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, suddenly thought of something, and shouted again: "Today, Lord Zongzheng came to visit the prince, and the lord of the county was also in the backyard with Mrs. Fujun, waiting for this food, if you sweep their interest, even the lord will not be able to protect you." ”

The servants of the Anzhong Houfu stopped again, looked at their little marquis, and waited for the next order.

Liu Jing's face changed a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go, let's follow into the Taishou Mansion together, if you find that this Wang steward is fooling Benhou, even he will clean it up." ”

The servants agreed, surrounded the carriage, and urged Wu Yong and the three to leave quickly.

Steward Wang couldn't do anything, so he had to lead Wu Yong and the two to continue walking, and while walking, he explained to Wu Yong the origin of Liu Jing.

At this time, Wu Yong understood why this young man who was about the same age as himself was so arrogant and domineering, because people did have this capital.

This lineage of An Zhonghou has been inherited from the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the present, with a heritage of nearly 300 years. When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Liu Chong, who was the first to rebel, made the later Emperor Guangwu, so the royal family treated An Zhonghou very favorably, and successive emperors rewarded him.

The predecessor An Zhonghou Liu Yi is Taichang who ranks first among the nine Qings, and his status is very lofty, but he has never been a queen.

This Liu Jing is Liu Yi is nearly fifty years old before he has a son, just born to get the Marquis of Anzhong, from childhood to adulthood, set thousands of favors in one, in and out of a group of slaves.

Wu Yong has gained a lot of knowledge today, this person is really incomparable, some people are born noble, and some people are born without even having enough to eat.

sighed, Wu Yong didn't take it seriously in his heart, after all, his soul came from the afterlife, and he knew that the Han Dynasty would be gone in a few years, not to mention a marquis, when the troubled times really came, human life was like a mustard, no matter if you were a prince or a general, it wasn't all cut with a knife.

Wu Yong quickly gathered his mood and walked down the wide central avenue, taking a closer look at the strongest economic capital in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

There are many shops on both sides of the avenue, but the most common is the blacksmith shop, and all kinds of farm tools can be seen everywhere outside the door. followed by grain shops, as well as restaurants and pharmacies, the most noticeable thing for Wu Yong is that there is still a green building, just standing in a place where people and cars come and go, isn't this immoral?

However, except for Wu Yong, the passers-by were not surprised, and they didn't raise their heads in the face of the woman's shouting.

After observing for a long time, Wu Yong couldn't help but sigh.

"This Wancheng is really prosperous, and there is not even a beggar."

These words happened to be heard by Liu Jing, who was sitting in the luxury carriage next to him, only to see him sneer twice, and said: "If you have hands and feet to beg, isn't it lazy to eat, and you should be arrested and taken to the border." ”

Wu Yong was shocked by his strange concept, but he didn't want to refute him, so he had to pretend not to hear it and continue to observe the people and things around him.

Liu Jing in the carriage couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw that Wu Yong dared to ignore him, and just as he was about to have a seizure, he heard Wu Yong ask.

"Why are there so many people queuing up at the Taoist temple over there?"

Liu Jing saw the confusion on his face, and said disdainfully: "I don't know, it's a mystical view, many nobles of the Han family are cultivating in it, even if they go here, they have to be respectful." ”

After this period of contact, Wu Yong knew that he liked to show off, so he followed his words and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be about the same age as me, and you know a lot." ”

"That's natural, Ben Hou grew up in Wancheng since he was a child, and he hasn't been anywhere."

After speaking, Liu Jing also raised his head proudly. Then I saw that Wu Yong had always been interested in Wancheng, and began to act as a commentator.

"This is the outer city, also known as the big city, which is mainly a living area, production, trade, and common people's settlement."

"After a while, we will arrive at the inner city, that is, the small city, the west and south walls overlap with the big city, which is not only the seat of the county, but also the residence of the bureaucracy and nobles, and the residence of the Benhou is also in it."

"This Wancheng not only has four morning markets in the east, west, north and south of the outer city, but also the nobles in the inner city for the inner city, and the Hu market specializes in selling the things of the Hu people."

"Our Wanshang in Nanyang is all over the world, rich in the sea, there are things in the south and north of the world, and the assets of the transaction are more than a thousand gold."

……

This went on for nearly half an hour before they reached the inner gate.

With the king's steward leading the way, it is naturally unimpeded.

Soon the group came to the Taishou Mansion, Liu Jing went directly to the inner courtyard to meet the Lord of Long, and no one dared to stop him, and Wu Yong was led to the study by the Wang Steward.

As for the food on the carriage, it was taken away by the two cooks, and Li Zhong and the carriage were led to the side room to rest by a servant of the Taishou Mansion.

Chen Qiu heard the report of the king steward, so he sat behind the bookcase, and waited for Wu Yong to come forward to salute, then he twisted his beard and praised: "It's hard for you to be young, but you personally came to bring food to the mansion." ”

Wu Yongzheng said: "The prince of the government is in charge of state affairs, and the kid is just doing his duty!" ”

"What a duty!"

Wu Yong was stunned when he heard this, and then saw an old man coming out of the side hall.

Chen Qiu saw that he was a little stunned, so he scolded with a heavy face: "Don't be rude, this is Lord Zongzheng, don't come and see you soon." ”

Zongzheng?

Wu Yong suddenly realized that this was the existence that even Liu Jing was afraid of, and hurriedly said, "The kid meets the adult." ”

"Alright."

The old man waved his hand and said: "I've seen a lot of these false courtesies, let's go, let's go and see what kind of charm your food has, even Chen Fujun can't forget it!" ”

With that, he walked out of the study by himself.

Chen Qiu nodded to Wu Yong, and followed closely, Wu Yong had no choice but to follow quickly.

Nervous all the way.

After a while, the three of them came to the backyard, and the steward of the king greeted them early and led them to a main hall.

Wu Yong walked in and took a look, okay, it's only been a day, and the Taishou Mansion actually used a table and a bench to eat.

When Wu Yong was stunned, Chen Qiu and the old man had already sat down separately, seeing that Wu Yong was a little stunned, thinking that it was caused by his nervousness, the old man said softly: "Just now, Chen Fujun praised you for not being humble or arrogant, but now when I see it, I am suspected of exaggeration." ”

Wu Yong came back to his senses and was about to speak, but he heard the old man say again: "You can also come and sit, and I will ask you to explain the food later." ”

Wu Yong didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked closer, and said, "In front of the two elders, how can a kid sit down." The boy just stood and listened to the teachings of the two elders. ”
