Twenty-eight: Narration

The two sides of Chang'an East City are full of Zhang Shuwei, operating all kinds of buying and selling, the sound of selling comes and goes, mortals walk in it, feel the liveliness of fireworks in the world.

Liu Ying ordered someone to buy sugar-fried chestnuts on the side of the road, and asked Zhang Yan, "Do you want to eat them?" ”

Zhang Yan came back to her senses from the memories in the Immortal Palace, and said crisply, "Yes." ”

"What does the fifth brother want to eat?"

The boy in blue looked up from behind him, "Thank you, second brother." "About seven or eight years old, thick eyebrows and big eyes, very restrained appearance, "The younger brother doesn't particularly like anything, the second brother is casual." ”

Zhang Yan sneered, "What do you say casually, I don't know if casual is the most difficult thing for people to do?" ”

This boy is Liu Heng, the fourth son of Emperor Liu Bang. At this time, he was still eight years old, and under the light of his three eldest brothers, he was dim. His biological mother Bo Ji is just an ordinary concubine in the Han Palace, and she is not subject to **, but she has a son who is famous in the history of Qing and the founder of the rule of Hehe Wenjing in the future - Emperor Wen of Han.

Everyone in the world admires this Emperor Wen, who is known for his benevolence and filial piety, but Zhang Yan is indignant in her heart. Emperor Wen reigned for more than 20 years, ruled Qingming, accumulated strength for the Han Dynasty, and finally achieved the great martial arts of Emperor Wu, which made the people of the Han Dynasty raise their eyebrows. But it was this boy, who was only eight years old at this time, who later seized the throne of his brother Liu Ying's heir, and killed Liu Ying's heirs, and lived in the North Palace with Zhang Yan, the queen of filial piety in history, and finally died of depression.

Zhang Yan turned her head and hid the faint glint in her eyes. When he sat on the throne of the Xuanshu Palace, did he still remember the brother who had treated him kindly and sincerely in the East Market in the past?

Liu Heng was stunned, so he had to say, "Then buy me some sheep stomach!" ”

Liu Ying nodded, and was about to give an order, when she suddenly heard Zhang Yan shouting, "What's so good about the smell of the sheep's stomach, I just want the wind chicken." ”

Liu Ying's eyes sank, and she shouted in a deep voice, "Ah Yan." ”

Zhang Yan bit her lip stubbornly and refused to speak.

Liu Heng was stunned, and said with a smile, "Second brother, I didn't want to eat preserved sheep stomach much, since Ah Yan wants to eat wind chicken, it will be windy, and the wind chicken is also delicious!" ”

Liu Ying shook her head and ordered someone to buy a copy of the sheep stomach and the wind chicken, "It's not that you can't afford to eat it, so why should you wronged yourself." Ban Face said to Zhang Yan, "Did you talk to the fourth uncle like this?" Don't make amends to him yet. ”

Zhang Yan hid behind him and poked her head out, "I only have one uncle, who is impatient to recognize relatives everywhere?" ”

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment and said, "Nonsense." Uncle is uncle, how can you recognize the truth or not. ”

"Tai-second brother," Ruyi said with a smile, "Don't talk about Ah Yan, she has already called me by my name for a long time today, and it's not specifically for the fifth brother." Speaking of which, the fifth brother is only as old as her, so it's no wonder she can't scream. ”

Liu Heng on the side also smiled gently, "It's just a title, if you don't call it, you won't call it!" ”

"But Ah Yan," Ruyi turned her head with a smile and winked at Zhang Yan, "When our eldest brother comes back, will your uncle call or not?" ”

"Naturally, don't scream!" Zhang Yan was decisive in her heart.

Liu Ying led her younger brother and Zhang Yan into the famous Qiongyang restaurant in Dongshi, and ordered Ning Jiong, the chief of the prince's guard, to lead the guards to wait downstairs, and when he went up to the second floor by himself, he heard the diners at the corner of the lobby say excitedly,

"Speaking of this female master Xu Cheng, she was a hero with a wise eye, and persuaded her father and brother to be loyal to the Son of Heaven who was still the King of Han at that time, and later the King of Han really built this Han world, and Xu Cheng was also named a female prince, but isn't it a fortune telling like a god?"

"Second brother," Ruyi sat down with his brother in the window seat, and asked curiously, "Who is this Xu Ying, why haven't I heard of it?" ”

Liu Ying said with a smile, "When the Marquis of Mingu Pavilion became famous, you were still young, so I don't know." At that time, her father relied on her physiognomy very much, and later became a marquis, named her the marquis of Minghen Ting, and chose a husband to marry, and was the first female marquis of the Han family. ”

It is rumored that she was born with a jade block in her hand, and she can speak for a hundred days, and when she grows up, she will be given the "Secret Decree of the Heart Instrument" by the master, and she will say: The sky is dark, who is not responsible? Those who are close to each other have discerning eyes. The crowd rises, and the world is in chaos. Be cautious and help Junxian. After that, he changed his real name to a single name. One day, her brother and a friend met to shoot birds in the forest, and when Xu Cheng saw this person, he said, "Your mother is very sick at home, why don't you go back and see it soon." Her brother's friend drove the letter back, and sure enough, he saw his mother lying on ** sweating **, because of the timely diagnosis and treatment, his mother finally turned the corner. ”

"Is it really that powerful?" Ruyi's eyes lit up, "Let my father recruit her into the palace in two days, and give us a look, okay?" ”

Liu Ying smiled, "How can a master outside the world be so easy to callβ€”"

"Third Emperor Brother," Liu Heng, who had been silent, suddenly smiled, "If you are interested in the Ming Female Pavilion Marquis, why bother to seek the near and far, don't we have a ready-made person here who has a good relationship with Xu Yin?" ”

"Who's who?" Ruyi's interest was raised.

Liu Heng looked at Zhang Yan and said with a smile,

"Heng had heard in the past that when the lord of Zhao Guoweng was born, he would pass by Handan when the Marquis of Minghen Pavilion passed by, and saw that the clouds were steaming above the palace, and there was a vision, so he came to the door to ask for a meeting, and Zhao Guoweng said, 'Life is extremely expensive, and the next day will be a person who will be on the people.'" ”

"Oh, Ah Yan," Ruyi's eyes sparkled, "You actually have such an adventure!" "Slightly muttered, "'Fate is extremely expensive,' the most valuable woman in the world is the queen, can't it be that Ah Yan will come to meet in the future-" Speaking of this, even he himself laughed, Zhang Yan and the Han Dynasty are now a generation apart, but it is impossible to become the queen!

Zhang Yan's heart suddenly moved.

Before she crossed over, she had met a mysterious Granny Xu in the alley of the present world, and she seemed to have foreseen what would happen to her in the future, and said some specious things to herself. Speaking of which, Granny Xu and this Ming Female Pavilion Marquis have the same surname as the word Xu, and there may be some connection between the two.

She glanced up at Ruyi and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, do you want everyone in the restaurant to know our identity?" - The so-called 'expensive', I am my grandfather's granddaughter and uncle's nephew, and this identity is not already very valuable. ”

"It's too!" Ruyi smiled.

"Naruto Pavilion Marquis' Mansion."

Zhang Yan, dressed in men's clothes, stood in front of a mansion in the mausoleum, looking up at the lintel of the mansion with five iron paintings and silver hooks, and a small Vermilion Bird coat of arms carved in the lower right corner jumped into his eyes, and he couldn't help but jump out of the corner of his eyes. This Suzaku coat of arms is exactly the same as the coat of arms I saw two thousand years later on the lintel of Granny Xu's photo gallery in the alley of later generations.

Zhang Yan's breath became short.

The female marquis of Minghen Pavilion two thousand years ago, and the mother-in-law Xu of the current Xu Family Pavilion, two thousand years later, are they really in the same vein? If God is really merciful and can solve the cause of crossing, can he still meet Wan'er?

"Relieve your worries," she commanded, "go up and knock at the door." ”

"Hey," he replied, went up the bluestone steps, and gently knocked on the door of the Hou Mansion.

An old man with gray hair opened the door and asked, "Who?" ”

"Zhangren," Xie said with a smile, "The son of my family's Xuanping Marquis Mansion wants to see the Marquis of Minghen Ting. ”

The old man raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yan with a cloudy gaze, "My daughter is not here." ”

Zhang Yan's smile stiffened slightly, "Dare to ask the old man, when will the lady come back?" ”

"I don't know, she and Pei Xianggong went out to travel, and they haven't come back for several years!"

As if a basin of cold water was poured on top of the enthusiasm, Zhang Yan was extremely disappointed and said with her hands dying, "Excuse me, relieve your worries, let's go back!" ”

Visiting and the person who wants to visit is not at home, Xu is that he and this female prince Xu Cheng will not have a chance in the end, right?

Zhang Yan walked to the street, and suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind her, "The little boy in front, please stay, my Wulangjun invites you to enter the house and see you!" ”

Zhang Yan returned with the old man. Minghen Pavilion Hou Mansion has not been inhabited for a long time, has seen the fall, only the East Garden is still prosperous, see a young man in white standing under the shadow of the bamboo, look back, the book is strange.

Xu Xiang invited Zhang Yan to sit down in the hall, "My sister is traveling far away, Xiang treats guests with a cup of tea, and I hope that the little boy is not too slow." ”

"Well said." Zhang Yan pushed the tea soup away without a trace, and asked curiously, "Wulangjun and I don't know each other, why did you invite me into the house?" ”

Xu Xiang smiled slightly, "If it were someone else, I would naturally not invite the entry, but the little boy is an exception...... I once heard my sister mention the eldest lady of the Xuanping Hou family. ”

"Oh," Zhang Yan's apricot eyes lit up, and she asked urgently, "What did the Marquis of Minghen Pavilion say?" ”

Xu Xiang looked at the picturesque boy in front of him, and remembered his sister's words to the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Xuanping, "I have seen the appearance of countless people in my life, but I can't see through the face of Lord Zhao Guoweng. It is said that it is the life of the phoenix crying blood, and the life is extremely rich but not blessed, but there is a life between the eyebrows, and it seems to have taken a turn. If you get a little luck, you may be able to rewrite the general trend of the world. With a hint of surprise and disapproval in his heart, he said with a smile, "Naturally, it is said that the life of heaven is precious, and the blessings are full of heaven, even if there are small twists and turns in life, you will eventually have a great opportunity." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yan felt a little disappointed, lowered her eyes, and asked, "Can Wulangjun learn physiognomy with Sister Ling?" ”

Xu Xiang shook his head, raised the bamboo slip in his hand and said with disdain, "Xiang has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and what he is asking for is to serve the court with literature and martial arts. ”

"Gorou-kun is so ambitious." Zhang Yan said with a smile, "The kid took the liberty to disturb for a long time today, and there are still some things at home, so I will leave!" ”

"Okay," Xu Xiang bowed slightly, turned around and ordered, "Tao Weng, send one to Zhang Gongzi on your behalf." ”

The old man sent Zhang Yan's master and servant out of the door, closed the door of the mansion, and said with trembling emotion, "This little son of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is really handsome." "It's just a matter of looking at it.

"Little boy?" Xu Xiang shook his head and picked up the scroll again, "It's a son-in-law, right?" ”

"Relieve worries, you say, if a person can know the past and this life, is it a good thing?" Coming out of the Ming Female Pavilion Marquis's Mansion, Zhang Yan felt a little scoundrel, and asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Xie frowned and hesitated for a moment, "The slave maid thought, it should be a good thing, so that he will never do anything wrong!" ”

"Not necessarily," Zhang Yan said leisurely, as if she had an olive in her mouth, "Sometimes knowing too much is also a burden!" ”

A sound of horses' hooves came from behind, the people on the street dodged one after another, the flying horse galloped past, and the rider bent down to pick up Zhang Yan, put it on the horse's back, and galloped out in an instant, laughing loudly, "Little Ayan, do you remember me?" ”

She tilted her head and giggled, "Cousin Fan." ”
