Chapter 108: Ugly

Zhang Ji's family is not too much, although the Zhang family is a famous family in Jingzhou, but after Zhang Ji left the officialdom, his branch gradually faded out of the mainstream of the family.

So there were only Zhang Ji's wives and concubines and his own children, as well as a few old servants and maids who accompanied him, and all the ordinary miscellaneous servants were dismissed, and he was ready to go to Chang'an to recruit a new group - those people are more familiar with life in Chang'an, and it is convenient for their families to adapt to life in Chang'an as soon as possible.

After all, compared to Jingzhou, Yongzhou, where Chang'an is located, already belongs to the north, and the severe cold of winter is enough to collapse southerners who have never experienced it.

During the time when Huang Zhong's house lived, it happened to be spring and summer, of course, there was nothing difficult to adapt, but when he came back this time, Zhang Ji was nothing, and his wife, sons, and daughters were obviously unwell.

"Why is it so cold this day!"

Perhaps the snow scene is a very rare sight for southerners, especially the kind of snow scene that is the same color as the sky and the sky, but it is even better if there is no deadly cold and knife-like cold wind.

"It's winter now, and it's naturally like this in the north!"

Zhang Ji was also not adaptable, he was wrapped in several layers of clothes, and even put on a set of fur coats given to him by Huang Zhong, still feeling that the cold wind kept drilling into the cracks.

Also uncomfortable is the Huang family who just moved in, and even Huang Chengyan was infected with a little wind chill because of his discomfort with the weather during this time, so Zhang Ji didn't sit down as soon as he came back, so he went to Huang Chengyan's house to help him see a doctor.

The two families came to Chang'an together, and Liu Xuan directly arranged for them to become neighbors when arranging them.

Although Chang'an City has been stable and safe enough in recent years, many people have gathered here, so that the population of Chang'an has been increasing.

However, the population of this era was not so large that it was impossible to find a place to live, and a large number of new people did not settle in the city, but in the surrounding counties, so there are still many empty areas or mansions in Chang'an City, and it is naturally not a problem to arrange two residences with the prestige of the imperial court today.

After Zhang Ji helped Huang Chengyan diagnose and treat and prescribed medicine, he told him to rest more during this time, and then chatted about the trivial matters of the two families.

"By the way, I came to Chang'an this time, and I was accompanied by Qiao Gong!"

"Gong Qiao?" Huang Chengyan was stunned, but he didn't expect Gong Qiao's family to follow.

This Qiao Gong family lives in Lujiang Anhui City, in the early years the Yellow Turban thieves revived, occupying most of Yuzhou, although they did not hit Lujiang County, but the soldiers pointed directly, Qiao Gong's family saw that the military disaster was in front of them, and wanted to beat their own pair of daughters have already had a reputation, if the Yellow Turban thieves really entered Anhui City, then disaster will inevitably come.

So soon Qiao Gong packed his bags and left his hometown, and came to Xiangyang, Jingzhou to settle down - compared to Lujiang, Xiangyang is much safer, and there is a rear general Yuan Shu in front of him, even if Yuan Shu can't hold on, Jingzhou Liu Biao is also a handsome man in the world, so he shouldn't be able to resist even a moment.

If Liu Xuan knows, it is estimated that he will bury this Qiao Gong's vision.

Because Lujiang had been included in Sun Ce's rule at that time, this Qiao Gong saw that the new Yangzhou pastor was just a young man, and he only felt that the Yangzhou boundary was estimated to be unable to be saved.

And Liu Jingsheng is a celebrity today, and he has been running Jingzhou for a while, and the famous ministers and generals are all ready, and the later general Yuan Shu is also one of the princes of Dong that year, and he has served as a tiger in the court, and he is still a member of the Yuan family, and his ability is naturally good.

So he felt that Jingzhou was safer than Yangzhou...... But in fact, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu together may not be comparable to a Jiangdong little overlord.

It's just that now that the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou has been pacified, Lujiang will naturally not be threatened anymore, why didn't this Qiao Gong go to live in Lujiang, but ran to Chang'an?

Zhang Ji knew, and whispered to Huang Chengyan: "What else can it be for? It's not that his daughters are too famous......?

Huang Chengyan nodded, indicating that he understood. If it weren't for the Yellow Turban Army watching the Yellow Turban Army, those guys were a group of unreasonable bandits, and Qiao Gong would not have moved out of his hometown and took refuge in Jingzhou.

And now that the years have passed, and the daughters have grown up, the excuse is not very good. As far as Zhang Ji knows, the Cai family has come to the door many times to propose marriage, and Huang Zu also sent someone to propose marriage for his son, and even said that Liu Jingsheng was moved to make peace from it, and the posture was like 'If you don't hand over your daughter, we will not be finished with you'.

Although Qiao Gong is also a little famous, he can only be regarded as a rich man, a little famous, and there is really nothing he can do about these people who hold great power, so he has no choice but to move to avoid trouble.

Originally, he wanted to go back to Lujiang, but unfortunately Jiangdong suddenly became not very calm, it is said that after the Yellow Turban thieves were pacified, Yangzhou Mu Sun Ce had a conflict with several families under his rule, among which the Lu family was also killed by Sun Ce, Jiangdong looked like it was about to be in chaos, and Qiao Gong did not dare to go back.

I can't go back to my hometown, and I can't live in Jingzhou anymore, so I have no choice but to find another place, just at this time Zhang Ji returned to Jingzhou to pick up his family and Huang Chengyan's family, and after learning that the two were going to move to Chang'an, Qiao Gong, who had some friendship with him, also came with him - during the period, he inevitably wanted to use Zhang Ji's name and prestige to help him get out.

"Sister Qiao's sister is here too?"

As he was talking, a crisp voice suddenly came from beside him, and Zhang Ji didn't have to look back to know who was speaking.

Turning around slightly, I saw a little girl about six or seven years old, with yellow hair and dark skin, blinking big eyes, and looking at herself with something in her hand.

"Oh, what are you doing?"

Zhang Ji asked, and the little girl named Ugly remembered what she was holding in her hand: "I walked around the street just now and found that there are a lot of novelties in Chang'an, so I bought some for my father to try!"

"What's it?"

watched as Ah Chou put a small pot in his hand in front of Huang Chengyan, and then lifted the lid on it, and a burst of heat steamed out, mixed with bursts of aroma.

"It smells so good!"

Huang Chengyan's nose was not through, he couldn't smell it, Zhang Ji on the side stared at the small pot with wide eyes, and found that the soup inside was still bubbling.

"Dad, eat some of this, sweat a little, maybe this disease will be cured!"

Hearing this, Huang Chengyan knew that his daughter bought this for her own body, and she was naturally happy in her heart, and she picked up the chopsticks on the side and was about to eat it, when she heard someone report it.

"There's a guy outside who says he wants to see the master!"

"Huh?" Huang Chengyan had to put down the chopsticks again and asked, "Did you say who it was?"

The man said that his name was Liu Ziang, and he was an acquaintance of the master...... But looking at the man, he was very young, only in ......his twenties, "Now the person is wondering if this person is impersonating? But seeing that the person is not dressed like this, and is analyzing it by himself, he saw his master stand up violently, and then hurriedly walked out."

"Huh?"

Not only Huang Chengyan, but also Zhang Ji, who came as a guest, was also ordinary, and the two hurriedly rushed out, making the clown on the side wonder for a while: "Liu Ziang, who is this?"

They don't know each other, it's impossible for Huang Chengyan and Zhang Ji not to know each other, that's today.

Liu Xuan's character is high, maybe many people in the world know that today's son is called Liu Xuan, but some ordinary people will definitely not pay attention to what the word of the Son of Heaven is, and even some people don't even know the name of the Son of Heaven, because they are usually called by the emperor, Your Majesty, and the Son of Heaven, as if this is Liu Xuan's name. ..., but as an important minister of the court, it is naturally impossible not to know this, so Huang Chengyan immediately reacted, this is the arrival of the Son of Heaven, although this means that the Son of Heaven does not want to make too much noise, just come in civilian clothes, but as a courtier, the etiquette can not be ignored, the two of them hurried to the gate, and then invited Liu Xuan into the courtyard first, which was only seen in accordance with the etiquette.

"No need to be polite, I'm just coming to see how Huang Shangshu's health is today, but is there a big problem?"

He finally found a qualified Shangshu for the Ministry of Industry, so that the Ministry of Industry gradually got on the right track, and he didn't want Huang Chengyan to fall at this time.

Although he had asked Xun Yu to properly teach some cultivation techniques to Huang Chengyan, Huang Chengyan's age was too old, and he suddenly came to Chang'an to be uncomfortable with water and soil, so he contracted a disease, which was not serious, and after conditioning and adapting to the climate of the north, it was naturally no problem.

"It's not a big deal, just recuperate!"

Liu Xuan looked at the sky, looked at the trembling appearance of the two old men with gray hair, and said with a smile: "Don't stand stupidly here, let's go in and talk about it!"

Huang Chengyan, as the master, led the way in front, and returned to the hall after a while, but this time the main seat was naturally given to Liu Xuan to sit.

"Huh?" Looking at the steaming dog meat pot in front of him, Liu Xuan smiled: "Eating this in winter is the most refreshing, Huang Shangshu is infected with the wind cold, eating some of this can also sweat more, maybe this disease will be cured immediately!"

As Liu Xuan took out more and more spice seeds, and the royal plantation was harvested several times, these things gradually flowed into the people, and many restaurants in Chang'an now began to sell dishes that Liu Xuan was once more familiar with.

In addition, the people have money in their hands, even if it is the cold winter season, this Chang'an City is not as deserted as it was back then, and it is very lively all day long.

After asking a few more questions about how Huang Chengyan and Zhang Ji settled in Chang'an, Liu Xuan suddenly said to the corner: "Come out, it's tiring to hide there and watch, isn't it?"

Zhang Ji and Huang Chengyan were stunned for a moment, and then their faces became a little ugly as if they thought of something, and Huang Chengyan shouted angrily: "How can you be so nonsense in front of the Son of Heaven?

He didn't even need to look at it, he knew that the one who did this kind of thing must be his daughter Ugly, that is, Huang Yueying!
