Wei Xuan insisted on taking Cai Yan to Luoyang, in addition to the inseparability of the young couple during the honeymoon period, the main reason why he went to Luoyang was to develop contacts, Cai Yan is also a famous family, and there is no shortage of lady diplomacy in this era. With Cai Yan by his side, he was able to get acquainted with the network of Luoyang officialdom in a short period of time.

Of course, Wei Xuan also counted on this Cai Yan to help the unmarried men and women of his family find a partner, which is the fastest way to develop and strengthen the Wei family, but such a thing is either handed over to the old man who is idle at home, or handed over to the woman, and it is not suitable for a man under twenty to be a matchmaker everywhere.

Wei Xuan still has a thought, that is, Cai Yan in history was plundered by Yu Fuluo in Hedong, Wei Xuan didn't want to leave his little wife alone in Hedong, although the current Hedong Wei family has enough strength to protect itself, but who knows if Dong Zhuo will target the Hedong Wei family next.

Because he was accompanied by Wei Xuan's eldest sister and third sister, the eldest sister was Zhong Xuan's wife Wei Ying. She, her eldest son and sister also returned to Yingchuan through Luoyang. Wei Xuan also wanted Cai Yan and Wei Ying to get close, and by the way, let his eldest sister know more about the children of the Wei family who accompanied her, saying that when she returned to Yingchuan, there would be a few family affairs. In the future, in case of war, Cai Yan can also be given to the eldest sister, Yingchuan is always safer than Hedong.

Being able to accompany Wei Xuan to Luoyang, Cai Yan was naturally happy in his heart. Pei Shi also thought of hugging his grandson early, so naturally he didn't object, only Wei Su was worried that Wei Xuan was obsessed with love and would affect his future, so he didn't care if he said a few words.

Of course, the Cai family has no opinions, this is a manifestation of the love of the husband and wife, and a manifestation of their daughter's attention from the Wei family. Wei Su even tried his best to invite Cai Yong to live in Anyi temporarily, Cai Yong did not have any official position, and he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the Taishi, but he agreed.

What is surprising is that Wen Ping, who had just arrived in Anyi, heard that Wei Xuan was going to Luoyang, and he wanted to follow, this is a typical star-chasing clan, where Wei Xuan goes, he falls. Wei Xuan has a training plan for Xiao Zhengtai, and Wen Ping is also the object of his appreciation, so naturally he will not object. Wen Zhi originally thought that it would bring Wei Xuan a lot of trouble, but he was afraid that Wei Xuan would not agree, but he didn't expect Wei Xuan's attitude to be very enthusiastic, and Wen Zhi also loved this nephew very much, so he followed him. Wei Xuan also specially asked someone to prepare a set of books on the art of war for him.

Seeing Wen Ping's happy appearance, Wei Xuan remembered Fa Zheng again, and before leaving, he gave a death order to Jinyi Wei and Baihutang, unless Fa Zheng did not go out to take refuge, as long as he left home, he must be abducted and brought to Anyi! Wei Xuan explained to them that he invited Fa Zheng's family to take refuge in Anyi, and let them enter Wei's private school for free, and at the same time would take the twenty-four military books compiled by Wei Xuan to seduce Fa Zheng. As for the others, they can only take their time.

Naturally, Cai Yan traveled with the Cai family's marrying attendant Su'er and another Wei family's Xue'er, as well as Wei Xuan's maid Xiaodie, plus Chunqin and other four daughters. Coupled with the retinue of the two sisters, the group was more than 140 people.

Today's Wei Xuan can be regarded as a real nobleman, mainly because he has money in his pocket, although he will not be as extravagant as Yuan Shu, but he is naturally still particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. A group of women sat in a car, men rode horses, all of them were freshly dressed and angry, naturally no bandits and ruffians dared to come forward to provoke.

Ten days later, the huge city of Luoyang was in sight. This group of people's yearning for Shenjing Luoyang is more than any saint in the later era. Wei Xuan is no exception!

Luoyang and the later generations of the north * capital called the same as the four nine cities, Luoyang also has a separate name called the nine six cities, and the north * Beijing is named after the number of city gates, Luoyang City is nine miles long from east to west, six miles long from north to south, the city is divided into the palace city, the inner city and the outer city, the palace in the city is numerous, and the population is as much as one million.

Wei Xuan admired the wisdom of the ancients from the bottom of his heart, how to manage such a vast city and a huge population really tested people. Although it is possible that most of the population of Luoyang City lives in the outer outline of the city wall, even if there are only 300,000 people inside the city wall, the supply of food, vegetables and fresh water and fire safety for so many people are all very complex system projects.

Of course, Wei Xuan is most concerned about the geographical situation around Luoyang.

Of course, Wei Xuan only knew a rough idea about the eight passes of Luoyang, such as Hangu, Yique, Guangcheng, Dagu, Yuyuan, Revolving Gate, Mengjin, Xiao*Pingjin, etc., and the rest of the specific locations and defense situations needed to be obtained by the Jinyi Guards.

Dong Zhuo was forced to move westward that year, in addition to the Kwantung coalition army controlling most of the Kwantung region, another very important reason was that he was worried that the Baibo Army entrenched in Hedong and Yu Fuluo in the Fenhe River valley would attack Chang'an and cut off his back route. Now that the Baibo army in Hedong has not become bigger, and has submitted to the imperial court, I don't know if there will be a huge butterfly effect. If at that time, Dong Zhuo would be hard under the attachment of Li Ru and others, and Yuan Shao and others would look good.

When the three-zhang high city wall appeared in front of everyone's eyes, Wei Xuan lamented the chest of Luoyang City and was also worried about its imminent tragic fate. If it is possible, Wei Xuan wants to keep everything here, even if it is a flower or a grass.

Wei Xuan and his entourage entered Luoyang together, but after entering the city, they separated, and Wei Xuan took Cai Yan and more than a dozen people accompanying him to the house of his eldest brother-in-law Zhong Xuan. The rest of the people went to the mansion that had been prepared a long time ago.

Wei Xuan was not only worried that Zhong Xuan's family would not be able to live, but also worried that he would blame himself for being too ostentatious.

Zhong Xuan is about to be forty this year, and he is also a beautiful man with excellent genes. In his early years, he was also a councilor, and then he was released to Yang Lingling, not to call himself sick and return home, and then he was requisitioned by the three governments, and is now a court lieutenant, although the rank is not high, but the power is very great.

There is a small story about Zhong Xuan, saying that when he was a child, he went to Luoyang with his father, and met a Taoist priest on the way, he said that Zhong Xuan will be unspeakably expensive in the future, but it is a pity to pay attention to falling into the water, Zhong Xuan's father of course did not believe it, but did not walk more than ten miles Zhong Xuan really fell into the river and almost drowned, he and his father were very surprised, so he went back to ask the Taoist.

The Taoist priest said that this son had a relationship with Sanhe, and then he refused to say more, Zhong Xuan's father then took him to Luoyang to study, Luoyang belonged to Henan Yin, and later married a wife Hedong Wei's daughter was also influenced by this Sanhe fate.

In Wei Xuan's impression, this pillar of Cao Wei can be said to be a late bloomer and lived until he was nearly eighty years old, so when he was in his thirties, most of his illness was fake, and it was estimated that he was too young to see the corruption of the government.

Zhong Xuan, as Ting Weizheng, has a collective dormitory in Luoyang, but now that Wei Xuan has brought his wife and sisters, he can't live in a collective dormitory all the time. However, his courtyard in Luoyang is very simple because he doesn't live very well, with no furniture and servants, let alone decoration.

Zhong Miao was also very happy to see his wife and brother come to Luoyang from Anyi and go straight to his house with his wife. This shows that Wei Xuan takes his brother-in-law to heart. Of course, the main reason is what Wei Xuan has done in Hedong for more than half a year. Today's Wei Xuan is also well-known in Luoyang.

But his wife is from a famous family in Hedong, although Wei Xuan let the other servants leave first, but Cai Yan's maids plus Chunqin and other four daughters, plus Wei Ying's servants, add up to more than 20 people. Zhong Xuan had long been accustomed to living alone before, but now he is a little embarrassed to use this courtyard to receive his wife and brother-in-law and Cai Yan.

Wei Ying is everyone's best girl, so naturally she will not blame her husband in person, but the resentment in her eyes is obvious, because this time she went back to her parents' house and got a lot of gifts from her second brother.

After receiving his wife's signal, Zhong Xuan had no choice but to apologize to Wei Xuan and Cai Yan again and again: "It's also that Xiang is too lazy on weekdays and is used to living in the official house alone, so this side is a little shabby, ashamed, ashamed!" ”

Wei Xuanzheng was worried that he would not get the opportunity to play in front of this brother-in-law, and when he saw him say this, he waved his hand again and again, and then paced in the small courtyard, and after a long time, he spoke again and got another poem: "The mountain is not high, and there are immortals." The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin. The moss marks are green, and the grass is green. There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding. You can tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra. There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no case. Confucius: What's ugly? ”

Zhong Xuan, Cai Yan and others were stunned when they heard this, everyone knew that Wei Xuan had a certain attainment in poetry, but it was really rare to be so talented and quick-witted. Especially Zhong Xuan, Wei Xuan's Burrow Ming is not only full of talent, but also alleviates his embarrassment, which can be said to be just right.

Zhong Xuan had to take a serious look at this wife and brother again. asked seriously: "Zhongdao, your poem is good, I don't know what the title is?" ”

Since Wei Xuan has done a copyist, he will not be ashamed, and said with a smile: ""The Burrow, if it is hung in the study with my brother-in-law's calligraphy, Xuan believes that it is more luxurious than any gold, silver and jade." ”

Seeing that Wei Xuan was not modest, and praised Zhong Xuan's calligraphy by the way, everyone laughed, and after laughing, the distance naturally narrowed.

Wei Xuanlai came to Zhong Xuan's house to ask for advice sincerely, and seeing that his on-the-spot performance had achieved results, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, my little brother came specifically to ask for advice this time, and I hope that my brother-in-law will teach me." ”

Wei Xuan is telling the truth, because Luoyang, the political center of the Han Dynasty, Zhong Xuan has done two important positions, and he is naturally very familiar with the ecology of Luoyang officialdom.

As Wei Xuan expected, Zhong Xuan's suggestion to Weixuan was also to visit He Hao first, which was in response to He Hao's special trip to Hedong to visit Wei Xuan, and then Wei Xuan could be introduced to Yuan Shao through He Hao, so that some of Yuan Shao's running friends such as Zhang Miao, Cao Cao, Xu You and others could also be seen one by one, and then wait for the summons of the general He Jin and the lieutenant Yuan Kui.
