In a hurry for two years, the Great Sui world was stirred up more and more turbulent by the emperor Yang Guang, who refused to settle down for a day, and gradually turned the world upside down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the beginning, Pei Ju, the squire of the Yellow Gate, persuaded Yang Guang to order Goryeo to enter the court and become a vassal on the grounds that Goryeo's fiefdom was not a vassal to ****. The king of Goryeo, Gao Yuan, had an arrogant attitude and insisted on not obeying the courtesy of his vassals, and Yang Guang was angry and had the intention of going east.

In this year, Yang Guang issued an edict and ordered Yuan Hongsi, the governor of Youzhou, to build 300 ships in Donglai Haikou. Due to the urgency of the deadline, the subordinate officials intensified their supervision and forced labor, so that the shipbuilders were immersed in water day and night, and were not allowed to go ashore to rest. Over time, maggots grew under the waists of many craftsmen, so three or four out of ten died.

After that, Yang Guang ordered the world's troops to gather in Zhuo County, and levied 10,000 sailors, 30,000 crossbowmen, and 30,000 Lingnan platoon runners south of Jianghuai, and ordered Henan, Huainan, and Jiangnan to build 50,000 trucks to load clothes and armor curtains, and requisition and send people to supply military supplies.

After such a toss, Goryeo has not lost a soldier or a general, but the territory of the Great Sui has been in turmoil, because of Yang Guang's order on the road as many as hundreds of thousands of people, day and night, there are many tired, sick and hungry to death, the corpses are pillowing each other, man-made disasters are fierce, and even more natural disasters.

On this day, on the official road from Chang'an to Luoyang, there was a group of knights galloping on horseback, and a yellow dragon-like billowing smoke and dust rose behind them. There were more than ten horsemen and horses in this line, and the first two knights were dressed as martial sons, with swords at their waists, bows and arrows hanging on both sides of the saddle, but they each wore a wide-brimmed soft hat with a four-sided veil to shield the wind and sand, and others could not see their faces. Behind the two of them, a dozen knights were all dressed as housekeepers, each wearing a long knife at his waist, with a cold face and sharp eyes.

"Slow down, let the horse slow down!"

Seeing that Luoyang City was in sight in front of him, one of the two knights who were galloping together shouted loudly, and the group slowed down at the same time.

When the horses slowed down, the two knights took off their floppy hats. The knight on the right riding a yellow horse looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with eyebrows like swords and starry eyes, and a resolute and courageous air in his handsomeness;

"Second brother," the girl said with a smile, "before you came, in addition to not daring to provoke the third brother, you extorted all the spare money in the hands of me, the eldest brother, and the fourth brother." With such a sum of money in hand, have you thought of a gift to buy for my future sister-in-law as a birthday present?"

The young man also smiled: "Last year, Guanyin wanted a 'Ruyi Fang' dressing mirror, but now their brothers and sisters are under the fence, and the 'Ruyi Fang' thing is notoriously expensive, so just talk about it." I've already calculated it, and now the money in my hand should be enough to buy the best half-length carved makeup mirror in the 'Ruyi Fang', Guanyin will definitely like it!"

"Second brother is so smart, no wonder Guanyin is dead set on you. The girl praised it first, and then pouted, "It's just that you are too favoritous, and I have wanted the vanity mirror of 'Ruyifang' for a long time, and I begged my father several times but he refused to buy it for me." ”

"Third sister, don't worry, this matter is on the second brother's body!" The young man patted his chest without hesitation, "In a few months, when the eldest brother and the fourth brother have saved money, the second brother will be responsible for helping you get it, and then personally go to Luoyang to buy a makeup mirror for you!"

The girl clapped her hands and laughed: "Then we will make up our minds, and the second brother will not be allowed to cheat then!"

The young man said proudly: "The big husband has made a word, and the horse is difficult to chase!"

The brother and sister talked and laughed all the way and drove the horse to gallop in small steps, and the girl asked again: "Second brother, you have made so many friends who are three and nine streams, do you know what the origin of 'Ruyi Fang' is, and how did it become so prosperous in just two years?"

The young man smiled, "I happen to know a little about this." It is said that the proprietor of the 'Ruyi Fang' is a young man from the Western Regions, who is originally a descendant of Hu and Han mixed blood, and has a Han name called 'Golden Cicada'. Two years ago, the golden cicada presented a giant glass mirror with a height of half a foot and a width of six feet to His Majesty through Yun Dingxing, who was then the Shaoqing of the Guard, and won His Majesty's favor with this treasure. At that time, His Majesty personally inscribed the signboard of 'Ruyi Fang', allowed him to do business in Luoyang, and gave him the official title of 'Chengfeng Lang'.

"Since the golden cicada has been appreciated by His Majesty, it is invincible to start a business in Luoyang. And he seems to have mastered a lot of strange skills such as glass mirrors in his hands, and every once in a while, there will be a new commodity on the market, and it will definitely make all the powerful and wealthy flock to it. In just two years, 'Ruyifang' has earned a wealth of gold and silver for the golden cicada, making him a wealthy man in Luoyang......"

The girl asked with some surprise, "The second brother said that the golden cicada is not a big year?"

The young man nodded and said, "That's true, I heard that he is two years younger than me, and he should be about the same as the third sister." ”

The girl praised: "Amazing! Chai Shao always boasted in front of me, but in fact, it was not because of the shadow of the family that he had a little achievement." He should really be taught to compare himself with this self-made golden cicada, I'm afraid I'm ashamed and ashamed!"

The young man smiled: "That Chai Shao is the husband chosen by my father for you, although I haven't picked it out yet, but the two families have already had a tacit understanding." Third sister, you can just talk about it now, and if you marry in the future, you can't praise your husband so much. ”

The girl's pretty face turned red, and she shouted, "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about, who wants to marry that guy?"

After saying that, he whipped his horse violently and galloped towards Luoyang City.

The boy laughed, and then rode after him.

The families in the rear will follow closely and catch up.

After entering Luoyang City, the young man asked for the path and soon found the "Ruyi Fang" located in the most prosperous section of Luoyang.

This "Ruyi Fang" is a three-storey building, which does not occupy a wide area, and it is not very lively in front of the door. Occasionally, the guys and customers in the store come and go, and they are all quiet and quiet, never noisy.

A group of people dismounted outside the gate of "Ruyi Fang", the young man instructed the families to wait outside, he took the girl to climb the stairs, first together to the top of the gate with the inscription "Ruyi Fang" three big characters and "Great Sui Tianzi Imperial Inscription" six small characters of the gold lacquer plaque salute, before stepping into the door.

A neatly dressed guy stepped forward and asked with a smile, "The two sons came to our store, I don't know if there is a need?"

The boy replied, "I and I bought a top-of-the-line bust carved makeup mirror in your store, can I pick it up immediately?"

The guy's face was embarrassed: "Childe doesn't know, and the other goods are fine." This half-body carved makeup mirror has always been in short supply because it is not easy to make and buyers are frequent. Generally, customers have to book a month in advance, but now there is no finished product for Childe. ”

The young man seemed to be prepared, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to shirk it first, my son has heard of these twists and turns in your store." There's a waist card here, you can take it and show it to the people in the store who can call the shots. ”

As he spoke, he took off a bronze medal from his waist, and on the top of the bronze medal was engraved with the ornament of the tiger descending the mountain, and on the other side was a "Li" character surrounded by moire.

The man seemed to have encountered such a situation more than once, and without saying anything more, he took the waist card with both hands and ran upstairs.

After a while, a handsome young man who looked thirteen or fourteen years old, with blond hair and golden eyes, walked down from the upper floor, it was Chen Yi who was wearing the false identity of the golden cicada, he held the bronze medal in his hand, walked up to the young man and woman, and asked, "Are the two relatives of the Tang State Mansion?"

The young man bowed his hand and said: "This is the son of the master of this room, the son of the golden cicada, and the son of Tang Guogong Li Shimin, this is the sister Xiuning." ”
