Twelfth year of the Han Dynasty

Shangyuan

Shangyuan is one of the most lively days of the year, and the rebellion of Huainan in the south has just been pacified, the border of the Han Dynasty has been leveled, and countless lanterns are hung up in Chang'an City on this day, and they celebrate.

Zhang Yan walked through the East Market, admiring the lanterns hung by various markets along the way, or she was ingenious and delightful.

"Hey, Tu Yu, look at you," she happily pointed to the last butterfly palace lamp in a market, "how beautiful is that lamp?" ”

"No matter how beautiful it is, it's a small craft. How can Hou Ye spend a lot of money to hire a special lantern master to play beautifully? Tu Yu pouted and said, "If the little prince wants to see the beautiful palace lanterns, he can only see them in the mansion, why bother running out?" ”

Zhang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "No matter how good the lights at home are, they can't match this human smell outside." She instructed her subordinates to buy the palace lamp, and said, "Just take it over Brother Bo Yanyin and smile." ”

Some time has passed since the Battle of Huainan, and the bereavement pensions for the soldiers have been issued. And the soldiers of the Han army who died in World War I in the Chinese military tent, Queen Lu deliberately added a regular amount of money to show her kindness to the maintenance of the prince. Although it was finally distributed to the family of the dead sergeant, it was only a few dozen dollars, and everyone was already grateful. It seems that everything is peaceful and happy, the Han Dynasty is consolidating day by day, and the imperial capital Chang'an is a peaceful sun and moon, and the Shangyuan is solemnly celebrated.

Zhang Yan sighed.

She remembered Zhang Kai.

The right eye of the Hou Zhang Kai was also injured in the Huai First War, and after returning to Beijing, he has been recuperating in the Hou Mansion.

It's just that everyone knows that no matter what, if you hurt your eyes, your eyesight will eventually be damaged in the future.

The sound of family arguing with the lamp seller came over. Zhang Yan was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Childe fancied this lamp," the family turned around and said disconvinced, "He said that he wanted a hundred dollars, but the villain paid him, and he didn't sell it." ”

She raised her eyebrows and said curiously, "Why don't you sell it, has anyone ordered this lamp?" ”

"Not really." The lantern seller smiled bitterly, "It's just that Childe, your people are giving pod money." If it's pod money, it's a hundred and fifty dollars. ”

"What happened to the pod money? The pod money was also issued by His Majesty's express order. The family still said to themselves.

"I also know what you say," the lamp seller did not give an inch. "It's just that if I take your money, I can't spend half a tael elsewhere."

Zhang Yan asked for a Qin-made half-tael coin and a pod coin, and put it in his hand, and saw that the pod coin was about three points smaller than the half-tael coin. The portion should be less than 60%. Both of them are half and a half.

"Childe doesn't handle silver coins personally on weekdays, so he probably doesn't know," Tu Yu explained softly behind him, "In fact, Qin Qian is less than half a tael, and it only weighs about four or five baht." After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, because of the heavy money of Qin. His Majesty ordered the people to mint pod money, which was originally His Majesty's intention to benefit the people, but the pod money weighed three baht. The money is light and heavy, and the people feel that they are at a loss, and if they use the pod money to buy things, they will ask for a higher price. ”

Zhang Yan frowned, but looked at the palace lamp in her hand. I really like it, so I said. "What the old man said is also reasonable. One hundred and fifty dollars is one hundred and fifty dollars. ”

She carried the palace lamp to the Liuhou Mansion. When the door opened, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion was already familiar with her, and said with a smile, "The little boy is here to visit my second master." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yan jumped out of the car and said to him, "I'll just go in by myself." ”

Suddenly, a red cloud floated out of the gate, and the tears on the face of the girl with a beautiful face flashed, and she stubbornly raised her head and refused to fall, and turned back to the gate of the Liuhou Mansion and shouted, "Which one is rare for you?" "Coming down from the stairs, I bumped into Zhang Yan in front of him, and it was Liu Chu, the lord of Chu who crowned the Liu family in the name of Shaohua.

"Hey, my cousin is fine." Zhang Yan called out embarrassedly.

Liu was stunned for a moment before remembering who she was, and snorted coldly from his nose, "Are you here to visit Mr. Zhang?" It's better that you don't have to go, he is most accustomed to treating other people's kindness as donkey liver and lungs. He brushed his sleeves and said disgustedly, "Good girl, why do you want to dress up like this?" Kitschy. What's wrong with a girl that deserves to be ashamed of being like this? The pungent number dropped a call, and without waiting for Zhang Yan to answer, he got on the horse and the car, and the royal people shouted, and went away in an instant.

Zhang Yan was stunned for a long time before turning her head and asking Steward Zhang, "What's wrong with Lord Chu Guo?" ”

can be the housekeeper of the Liuhou Mansion, and the old man has also become a human spirit, and said with a subtle smile, "The mind of the lord of Chu State, the old slave has not understood it after reading it for so many years. After thinking about it, he reminded softly, "It was about the kindness of the Lord of Chu to visit the second young master, but the second young master didn't meet her expectations." ”

She walked into the East Garden with a familiar car, stood under the porch, and listened to the whispered words coming from the room, "The lord of Chu is also ignorant, and he speaks nonsense, big brother, don't take it to heart." ”

Another deep voice muttered, "Aca, do you blame the big brother in your heart?" ”

"That's a no-brainer." The voice is resolute and brisk.

"Ah, you're recuperating well—"

Zhang Yan coughed lightly outside the door and shouted, "Brother Yan Yin." ”

After a while, the man in blue lifted the curtain and said goodbye, "Mrs. Zhang." "It is Zhang Kai's eldest brother, Zhang Budo, the son of the Hou family.

"Yan Yin," Zhang Yan leaned in and said with a smile, "I have disturbed you and your brother?" ”

"Nothing." Zhang Kai raised his head and said lightly, "I don't like to see him like this the most, the two of them are sad to face each other." ”

Because he was in the house, he wore only a white single coat, and a brocade robe was draped over it, revealing the collar edge. Because of the injury, the right eye is wrapped in white gauze, and only the left eye is left, with a light amber color, transparent and clear. Side-view elegance.

"What a beauty." Zhang Yan muttered quietly, "I can't complain that Liu Chu has been admiring him for so many years." ”

"Brother Yan Yin," she was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "I just saw a lamp in the bazaar, so I bought it and gave it to you, isn't it very beautiful." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Kai smiled slightly.

She stood up excitedly, "Then I'll help you hang up the lamp, okay?" ”

"How dare you make a big fight," Zhang Kai smiled slightly, turned around and ordered, "Ruize, hang up the lamp for Mrs. Zhang." ”

Zhang Yan was full of joy to see Ruize hang the butterfly palace lamp under the main corridor of the Amuro, "It will be more beautiful after lighting it, and when it comes to night, you ask Ruize to help you light the lamp, and you can see the light when you push the door." Yes. She suddenly remembered Zhang Kai's eyes, and she was very sorry in her heart.

"It's fine." He didn't care, "I can see with my other eye." ”

He stood up and stood with her under the porch, watching Rize hang up the lantern. Zhang Yan looked up, and could only see the curvature of his side face, "Do your eyes still hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore." He replied with a smile.

Struggling to pull herself out of the topless, her gaze wandering, unable to find a word. "Just now I saw the Lord of Chu coming out of the mansion with an angry look. My cousin is beautiful and beautiful. I like Yan Yin so much, Yan Yin doesn't like it, who else can I like? ”

"The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other." Zhang Kai said leisurely, "Ah Chu is a good woman. But I couldn't get along with her. I hope she understands this principle earlier, and it will be good to miss her youth. ”

"Besides," he paused, and said briskly, "though she is a rare good woman. But there are no other good girls in this world. For example,—— Ah Yan? ”

"Huh?"

She thought he was calling her, and looked up.

"You."

It took a while. She explained his two sentences together, and her heart trembled in an instant, and Zhang Kai on the other side stretched out his hand, his fingertips slowly touched her cheek, and he unconsciously held his breath.

He patted her cheeks. "You don't have a headache lately, do you?"

"Ah——?h It took a while to react back, and his face suddenly burned red. He shook his head in embarrassment and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”

When she resigned from the Liuhou Mansion, she looked at the sun and thought bitterly, whether the atmosphere in the room was too beautiful at that moment, or the palace lights were too beautiful, so she let her mind be confused.

Counting up, it has been three years since she arrived at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, and Wan Er's figure appears in dreams less and less, but only she knows that in the depths of her heart, there is always a place deeply engraved with his name. And Zhang Kai's appearance gradually became three-dimensional, and he had an independent place, but at the moment of the right talent, the shadows of the two people were stacked together, as if they were going to merge into one.

"Lady," Tu Yu smiled, "It's not too early, but you want to go back to the Hou Mansion?" ”

"Okay," Zhang Yan touched her stomach and begged, "I'm hungry, let's find a restaurant to eat something, right?" ”

"Childe said this," Tu Yu smiled, and said helplessly, "You are the master, I am the maid, is it possible that I can still stop you?" ”

Qiongyang Restaurant

Zhang Yanfang stepped into the door, and a little servant greeted her, "Little Zhang Gongzi, right?" He smiled and said, "A young man has already booked a private room on the second floor, and he is waiting for the young man to come." ”

Tu Yu was shocked, but listened to Zhang Yan's smile, and her voice was crisp, "Okay, I know." Then he turned and instructed the family members who came with him, "Go downstairs and find something to eat yourself." "I took myself upstairs.

Pushing the door in, there was a faint smell of thatch, and in the fragrant elegant room, a man in white stood in front of the street window, with an elegant figure.

"Mrs. Zhang." The man looked back.

It turned out to be the fifth son of the Marquis of Minghen Pavilion.

Xu Xiang bowed and smiled, "Xiang has been waiting for a long time. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yan bowed lightly, turned around and commanded softly, "Tu Yu, you guard the door for me, don't let people come." ”

Tu Yu was ignorant, so he had to respond to a good word.

"I heard that Mrs. Zhang had a head disease a few days ago, but now she is better?" Xu Xiang asked respectfully.

Zhang Yan looked at him for a while, smirked, and laughed at herself, "It sounds like my head disease is now known to everyone in Chang'an City." - It's no big deal. ”

"That's good."

Xu Xiang cherished the four-color bag from his arms, lined up on the case, one color green, one color purple, one color dark blue, one color indigo, the stitches of the bag are fine, the style is strange, except for the color, there is no other difference.

"Thank you to the little lady for the wonderful plan before leaving. Now, according to Zhang Niangzi's intentions, she will return to Zhao completely, but "Xu Xiang hesitated, "The white bag was lost on the battlefield in the battle of Huaishang and cannot be recovered." ”

"Really?" Zhang Yan sat at the head of the case, smiled, since the last time she had a head disease, her mother simply raised her as a pig, and she couldn't wait for her to eat, sleep, sleep and eat every day, and don't think about anything in the middle. And herself, firstly, she felt her mother's cherishment, and secondly, she was afraid that she would fall into the root of the disease, so she followed her mother's wishes and tried to use her brain as little as possible. As long as it doesn't fall into someone else's hands, it's fine. ”

Xu Xiang was stunned for a moment, looked at the girl's beautiful face, and said with a complicated expression for a long time, "Now I believe what Sister I said that day, Mrs. Zhang is a master outside the world, and she deserves to be transferred to the world." Although Zhang Niangzi has no talent for killing the battlefield, she has a strange semantics, a faint candle, and often makes words that can make people wake up. And he knows the prince's mind well, and every word will hit his heart. Xiang only relied on these five tips, even if he did not have the merits of fighting an inch of land, after this Huainan War, his status in the prince's heart, I am afraid that it is not inferior to Zhang Kaifan and his wife - it's just that Xiang doesn't understand a little. ”

"Since Zhang Niangzi has this talent, why didn't she personally persuade the prince, but to use Xiangzhi's mouth to say it?"

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Xu Gongzi is willing to listen to me carefully because of Sister Ling's previous prophecy." ”

Xu Xiang's face was slightly hot, and he turned his head.

She didn't care either, and continued, "If it were someone else, I was afraid that my words would be treated as children's nonsense, how could I listen to half a word." "This is not bad, if not only does she not believe it, but instead treats her as a demon, she will not just lose her wife and lose her soldiers.

And it's just a deal between us, and I'll use your body to do what I say to help my uncle get out of the world on his own, and reach his dream step by step. And you borrow my knowledge two thousand years later to get ahead in front of the prince to fulfill your ambitions.

Fair enough.

I'm not afraid you'll betray me. Because if you want to sell, betrayal is the foundation of your meritorious deeds, and without it, you are nothing.

After Xu Xiang said goodbye, Zhang Yan ordered the dishes and instructed Tu Yu, "Bring the incense burner over there." ”

Tu Yu brought the incense burner and wondered, "Lady, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Yan threw the bag into the incense burner until she saw them turn to ashes, and then sighed.

"Tu Yu," she smiled sweetly, "you know that I have always been closest to you, and you promise me one thing, and don't tell anyone about today, okay?" ”

Tu Yu looked at her in a daze, and felt for the first time that this girl who had grown up since she was a child had quietly grown new edges and corners in places she couldn't see.
