Chapter 6 Buying a Horse
"Let's blow the porridge in front of you cold first. Liu Han said lukewarmly, he was not so excited, he only took a small step in the imperial capital, and he could say that he had not done anything serious, from Liangzhou to Chang'an to the imperial capital, in just two months, a lot of things happened, but there was no clue about the serious matter.
The imperial capital is very large, a day or two can not be finished at all, Xu Yuan has been to the imperial capital for more than a year, many places have not been to go, he is most concerned about competitors, in addition to Ming Yu Zhai, another big name in the imperial capital jewelry store is Bao Zhen Ge, this jewelry store materials are also very fine, slightly worse than Ming Yu Zhai in the design, there are three major blockers, not to be underestimated.
Xu Yuan told him, what made him a little strange was that Liu Han didn't seem to care, which made him a little worried, the jewelry of Hanhai Trading Company was famous in the Western Regions, but after all, it was only the Western Regions, this is the imperial capital, bringing together the essence of the world, the essence of the world, and it will be untenable here if it is a little bit.
"Can you open a shop in this inner city?" When passing through the Lijing Gate, Liu Han asked casually, staring at the tall and wide city gate hole, there were no soldiers in front of the city gate, and asked: "Is this city gate usually closed?"
"The gates of the inner city were never closed. Xu Yuan just said this, Lao Huang interjected: "The inner city gate is usually unguarded, and it doesn't need to be closed, only in wartime, it will be closed, the Great Jin Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, and the inner city gate has only been closed once." ”
Liu Han thought about it seriously, and in the records he saw, after the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there were Hu people who fought in Chang'an, but they did not hit the imperial capital, so.
"In the seventeenth year of Emperor Xianzong's reign, the imperial capital rebelled and the inner city was closed. Lao Huang obviously saw Liu Han's doubts, so he reminded Liu Han that in the last years of Xianzong, there was a tragic internal strife in the imperial family, and the cause was the struggle for the throne.
History, the rebellion, the emperor burned tens of thousands of houses, tens of thousands of people were killed and wounded, after the rebellion was quelled, the successor Emperor Muzong carried out a purge, almost all his brothers were killed, the imperial capital was killing people almost every day, one by one, killing in groups, so Emperor Muzong was called Shao Rende by the historian.
That is, from now on, in the royal family, in the last years of the emperor, all the princes other than the prince will be sent out of the imperial capital to become a vassal, and all the princes will collude with the border generals, and the generals of the forbidden army will collude with the princes, and the result will be one, kill!
Compared with the outer city, the inner city is much quieter, the streets are more spacious, the roads are cleaner, and the houses are more high-end and atmospheric.
This kind of family emblem, Liu Han had never heard of it in his previous life, but in film and television dramas, he saw that those ancient families in the West did have it, how did this thing come to the East, Liu Han didn't even think about it.
In Guzang and Chang'an, I also saw signs on the carriage and the door of the house, and I didn't go to my heart at that time, but when I walked in the inner city of the imperial capital, I found that almost every household had a unique sign, and asked Lao Huang to know that it was a family emblem, which made it difficult for him to wonder, how could there be a family emblem?
"How can there be no family crest?"
Regarding his question, Lao Huang wondered even more, Da Jin, no, since the Great Zhou, or even earlier, the family of this land has a family emblem, what's so strange about it.
Looking at his expression, Liu Han didn't dare to continue to ask, this guy is a very alert guy.
"Let me ask you, what is the family emblem of this Yan family?" Liu Han asked a very tricky question, the Yan family is the current royal family, Lao Huang understood what he meant, and snorted with some dissatisfaction: "The royal family is naturally a dragon, if one day, the Yan family no longer lives in the palace, it doesn't hurt to change the family emblem, the Wu family in the Great Zhou Dynasty was like this before, and the family emblem was replaced by a gray thread grass." ”
Liu Han couldn't help laughing, this retreat is complete, gray thread grass, an extremely ordinary grass, is the favorite food of cattle and sheep, this meaning is too obvious, the world is for you, I will be a shunmin, you can cut it however you want.
After walking around half of the inner city, Liu Han found that the inner city and the outer city, except for being more luxurious and luxurious, there are still restaurants and shops, but the number is much less, but whether it is the door curtain or the layout, it is much better than that of the outer city.
"If only there was a shop in the inner city. Liu Han looked at the nearby shops, and did not see the sign for Yoshiya to sell, he sighed softly, this inner city is a treasure land, at least a treasure land for jewelry business.
Look at the time is not early, they came out of Ding'an Gate, in addition to the four city gates in the inner city, there are also four city gates, this Ding'an Gate is a city gate between Yongchun Gate and Yingtian Gate, after going out of Ding'an Gate, you can see the East Water Gate, as the name suggests, the East Water Gate is the water gate, Changqing Canal enters the city from here.
The river breeze blows head-on, a little cool, with a bit of water, so that they are refreshed, there are still no soldiers guarding the city gate, two wall incense cars are coming, a girl is lying in the car window, is bored looking around, see Liu Han's black cone, show up.
The black horse has a black and bright body, and its four hooves are slender and strong, and you can tell at a glance that it is a good horse.
Liu Han didn't ride on the horse, the black cone was tied to the back of the car and followed the car.
"Ah, hey, look at the horse!" the girl shouted to the inside of the car, "Look at it!
A helpless voice sounded in the car: "Can't you be quiet, after a day of playing today, you're not tired!"
"What a good horse!!" the girl exclaimed anxiously, and then patted the wall of the car: "Stop!
When the carriage stopped, the girl jumped down when she opened the door, and when she turned around, she shouted again, "Hurry!
Out of the carriage came a girl in a white dress and a white dress, this girl first looked at it and then slowly got off the train, the girl in front was very anxious, the girl in white just landed, and pulled her to, pointing to the back of the black cone that had passed.
"Look, it's that!
The girl in white looked ahead, turned her head and sighed: "Isn't it just a horse, you already have dozens of good horses in your family, and like this, you don't want to get all the best horses in the world to your house!"
The girl in front didn't seem to hear it, and shouted at the guards who were following her, "Hurry! stop the car, hurry!"
The guards who followed the carriage had already stopped, and after hearing this, one of the guards turned his horse's head, and the horse caught up quickly, stopping Liu Han's carriage.
Liu Han was very surprised, he looked at the person who stopped in front of the car with some puzzlement, this person was wearing the common family clothes in the imperial capital, and he was obviously a family member of a wealthy family.
Liu Tie, who was riding a horse on the side, frowned slightly, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and stepped forward to ask, "Who are you? Why did you stop my master's car?!"
"Wait!" the family looked arrogant, and the horse was in front of the carriage, with a look of ignorance.
The fire in Liu Tie's heart was spitting, and he wanted to step forward to pull this kid off the horse, but just as he was about to make a move, Liu Han's voice came from beside him: "Who are you? ”
The family glanced at him, and when he came, he had already noticed that there was no insignia on the carriage, indicating that the owner of the carriage was not even a scholar, and the things that the young lady wanted from him had already given him face.
"My master has something to tell you, you wait. ”
Still unwelcome, still arrogant, I don't care about what Liu Han asks.
Liu Han showed a smile, Liu Tie had been with him for many years, and immediately knew what he meant, and was about to urge the horse over, Lao Huang said in the carriage: "Then wait, let's not worry." ”
Liu Han's smile remained the same, but he raised his eyebrows slightly, Liu Tie grabbed the horse, and the family didn't know that he had walked on the edge of danger, his head was raised, and his expression was still so arrogant.
The two girls came over quickly, and before the girl in white could speak, the little girl had already spoken first: "Whose horse is this black horse?"
Liu Han was stunned again, he didn't expect that the two girls who stopped his carriage, he noticed when he was still in the killer camp, the women of this era are not like the legends of the previous life, the gate does not go out, the second door does not step, on the contrary, it is more free, on the street, teahouses and restaurants, they can secretly talk about their figures, the atmosphere of this imperial capital is more civilized, this way, there are many women on the street, there are married women, there are also young ladies with unmarried three-ring buns, the rich ones with maid rings, and a few bodyguards by their side; 。
Turning his head to look at the family, no wonder the family is so proud, whose young lady is this little girl, and her tone is so big.
The little girl was a little upset when she saw that no one was paying attention, and the leader of the house next to her saw it, and came over with a horse, and the whip struck on the roof of the car.
"Who's in charge! The fourth lady of my family asked!"
The woman in white frowned slightly: "Don't be rude!
The family jumped off his horse, led the horse back two steps, and stared at the carriage.
The woman in white was attracted by the carriage just now, this carriage is a little strange, or different, the door is actually open on the side, the groom sits in front, the seat is quite high, and the wheels are not two but four, she is looking curiously, I don't think that the woman in red can't wait.
The woman in white stopped drinking, stepped forward and asked the car door, "I don't know your surname, take the liberty of disturbing, and ask for forgiveness from Gongzi." ”
The woman in white lowered her head, Liu Han saw a black and bright hair, he didn't want to deal with them, and was thinking about how to be polite, Lao Huang stabbed him on the side, and he had to push the car door and get out of the car.
Liu Han still didn't say anything after getting out of the car, the woman in white had a slight flash in her eyes, and apologized again: "My cousin and I are too reckless, please forgive my son." ”
The little girl next to her was a little impatient: "Is this black horse yours? What is it called? Sell it to me." ”
Chu Mingqiu didn't seem to hear clearly, blinked his eyes, and looked at the little girl carefully, the little girl looked like she was fifteen or sixteen, wearing a red long dress, with a three-ring bun on her head, her appearance was delicate, and there was still a little astringency between her eyebrows and eyes, but at the moment she was a little eager.
"Not for sale. Liu Han's answer was very simple and crisp.
The girl in red was a little anxious: "Why! I'll give you more money, three hundred gold!"
Seeing her like this, Liu Han was not angry with her, this is a spoiled little girl, and it is not worth being angry with her.
Liu Han showed a hint of a smile and said steadily: "Don't sell it." ”
"Five hundred gold," the little girl immediately increased the price, and when she saw that Liu Han didn't say anything, she shouted again: "Eight hundred, or one thousand." ”
Damn, this can be regarded as meeting Bai Fumei, and it has doubled in just a few words, one thousand gold, one thousand taels of gold, this is a huge amount of money!
The woman in white sighed in her heart, this is not a matter of money at all, she saluted Liu Han slightly: "I take the liberty to disturb, this is my cousin, I am obsessed with horses, and when I see my son's horse, it is difficult to control it, so I stopped my son, please don't blame my son." ”
Then he turned to the woman in red and said, "Cousin, since the son refuses to cut his love, we can't take the favor of others, so let's go back." ”
The woman in white gave Liu Han a very good impression, gentle and polite, and she didn't look at her carefully before. Liu Han still has some social habits in his previous life, never staring at strange women, but at this moment, facing the woman in white, he has a heart-pounding feeling.
The woman in white looks ten years old, with a beautiful appearance, wearing a white dress, under the river breeze, the skirt flutters backwards, clinging to the delicate body, outlining a beautiful and moving curve. In the white dress, there is a red bandeau top, revealing a small piece of whiteness, which leads people to infinite reverie.
The woman in red stubbornly pulled the woman in white, looked at Liu Han and then at the black cone, and couldn't move.
"This friend, my young lady has taken a fancy to your horse, you have to be willing to sell it, and we will accept your affection. ”
Liu Han didn't look back, but he knew who was talking, the guy who was beating the roof of the car with a horsewhip.
"What's the matter, the gold can't work, it's going to be hard?!" Liu Tie spoke on the side, and now it was time for him to come forward.
Jia Dingtou looked coldly at Liu Tie and was about to speak, but the woman in white scolded: "Fall into the ground, retreat!"
