At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were no Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty

In the past few years since I was reborn, I have been staying in the Marquis Mansion, and the farthest place I have been to is only a military camp outside the city. This time I will travel far, and I must see the customs of the big man.

In the large carriage, four or five people can sit side by side, but it is almost full of packages of all sizes.

These parcels were carefully prepared by Cai'er, including a change of clothes, wine, dried meat, books, and even a doll... It almost took the entire Hou Mansion into the carriage.

Liu Yu reached out and took the doll in his hand, which was made by Cai'er himself. After carefully looking at the doll for a while, Liu Yu found that there were still a few lines of small characters on the doll.

It said "Cai'er will think of Lord Hou all the time, and hope that Lord Hou will always think of Cai'er when looking at the doll."

Liu Yu was very moved and muttered: "This girl"

Thinking of the details of being with Caier in the Hou Mansion, "Ah!" Was he being too stubborn?I was a little moved in my heart.

But then he dismissed this idea, and it is his creed not to travel with women.

No matter now or in the future, when I go out or march to fight, I will definitely not bring a woman to the battlefield!Women are for pain, how can you put your own woman in danger?

Although Cai'er is Liu Yu's personal servant girl, she is also a woman he has chosen by default. If she is not able to take the position of wife, even if her brother does not agree to it.

But Liu Yu will definitely give Cai'er an identity, and he will treat every woman he owns equally, not to mention that Liu Yu came from later generations through time travel and obeys monogamy.

In ancient times, not to mention a prince, even a wealthy businessman had wives and concubines in groups!

If I find fewer women, I will be gossiped about!There are so many famous beauties recorded in later generations, Liu Yu still yearns for it very much, and has already looked away.

"Alas" Liu Yu sighed, no matter how luxurious the ancient carriage was, it was always bumpy, and Liu Yu was not interested in reading books even if he was bumped.

This is also because the official road is close to the county seat, and the road is uneven. If you go further, when the terrain is flat, it may not be so bumpy.

Liu Yu thought for a while, instead of doing this, it is better to take a look at the scenery along the road, so Liu Yu opened the window and carefully admired the ancient scenery without traces of modernization.

Chapter 017 The Promise Zhen Family

Wuyuan County of Bingzhou is in the northwest of Jizhou. Starting from Lecheng, it has to pass through many counties.

Every time he passed by, the local county magistrate warmly entertained him with delicious food and drink, for fear of neglecting the young master who is the most beloved by the current emperor.

The land of Jizhou has a flat terrain and a large population. It is the state with the largest population in the Han Dynasty. Here, the land is fertile and the people are rich, followed by Jingzhou, Xuzhou and other places.

Stopping and stopping along the way, although the road was bumpy, it didn't disturb Liu Yu's interest at all.

Soon, Liu Yu and his party arrived in the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom, which is adjacent to Hejian Kingdom.

Although Zhongshan Country is not as rich as Hejian Country, it is much better than other places.

In Wuji County, Zhongshan, there is also a family of great merchants, the Wuji Zhen family!Not to mention that the wealth is incomparable to the country, but it is also a family fortune with tens of thousands of diners.

However, although the Wuji Zhen family has a lot of money, in the eyes of the aristocratic family, this kind of merchant's family is simply out of sight.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have distinct classes, and merchants are the lowest class of people, only higher than slaves and domestic servants.

But Liu Yu was very curious about this Zhen family, so he decided to take a detour to visit the Wuji Zhen family.

It's a visit, but it sounds good. As Liu Yu, being able to go to his Zhen's house is like smoking from the ancestral grave.

Before arriving in Wuji County, Liu Yu sent a small team of cavalry to the Wuji Zhen's house to hand over the greeting card.

The current head of the Zhen family is Zhen Yi. Zhen Yi lost his father when he was young, and only one mother lived in the church. At this time, Zhen Yi was about 20 years old and had already married a wife and had a son and a daughter. only a few years old.

When Zhen Yi received Liu Yu's invitation, he couldn't contain his excitement.

This is the big man Hou Ye, the younger brother of today's son, Genzheng Miaohong, although he is not very old, he has the reputation of a child prodigy, Zhen Yi dare not underestimate him, let alone neglect him.

After inquiring carefully about the soldier who delivered the greeting card, he ordered his servants to treat him well and not to be negligent, so he rushed to the backyard of Zhen's mansion to discuss with his mother.

In the backyard of Zhen's mansion, a beautiful woman under forty years old, with a plump body and an exquisite face, but with a lazy expression, was taking care of the flowers and plants planted in the backyard, followed by two delicate maids.

This beautiful woman is Zhen Yi's mother, Zhen Shi. Zhen Shi has a gentle and quiet personality. Suddenly seeing her son Zhen Yi rushing in, seeing her son's eagerness, Zhen Shi couldn't help being a little angry.

"Yi'er, my mother has told you many times that you should be prudent when things happen. How can you manage the Zhen family if you are so frizzy?"

Because of Zhen's relatively gentle personality, even if she gets angry, people can't feel the slightest anger, but instead give people a coquettish feeling.

The beauty Bo Nuna is also pleasing to the eye, Zhen Yi doesn't have the time to appreciate these things, besides this beautiful woman is Zhen Yi's mother.

Zhen Yi also inherited the excellent genes of his mother, Mrs. Zhen, and she also looks like a crown jade, handsome and extraordinary.

But Zhen Yi's body is weak, giving off the impression of a frail scholar.Because of my weak body and a few more steps, I was a little out of breath, and my face was flushed because I was tired from running or excited.

Zhen Yi ran to Zhen's side, took a few deep breaths, calmed down and said: "Mother, my child has received a greeting card!"

Zhen Yi deliberately betrayed Liu Yu's name without mentioning Liu Yu's name, and respectfully handed over the greeting card in his hand to his mother.

Zhen Shi said a little strangely: "It's just a greeting card, what's the fuss?" Zhen Zhen didn't go to accept the greeting card, but gave Zhen Yi a blank look.

Immediately, Mrs. Zhen said indifferently: "There are always some people who send invitations to visit my Zhen family. Most of these people come here to ask for money. Just give some money and send these people away. These trivial matters Don't bother me, my mother."

"Mom, it's different this time! You'd better read the greeting post before talking."

Zhen Yi's tone was excited, but he didn't say it clearly. He planned to see his mother's reaction after seeing the invitation.

Seeing his son's excited appearance, Zhen Shi also became curious. Although his son is not yet [-] years old, he is also mature and stable.

To make my son lose his temper like this, could it be that the person who came to visit this time is of high status and high official position?

However, Mrs. Zhen thought it was impossible if she thought about it carefully, because how could a person with a noble status or a high official position value himself as a family of merchants?

Although he thought so in his heart, he stretched out his plain hand to take the letter from his son, and read it without blinking his beautiful eyes.

"He...hejian's little... young master? Want to visit our Zhen family? This..." Zhen's beautiful eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "Yi'er! Could it be that you used this as a joke for your mother? ?”

"How dare you child!" Zhen Yi said, seeing his mother lose her composure, holding back a smile.

It's really rare for a mother who has always been gentle, elegant and stable to lose her composure like this.

"Then hurry up and get ready! What are you still doing here? Order someone to clean the mansion carefully from the beginning to the end, and don't let the young master be dissatisfied!" Such a gentle temper like Zhen's is completely chaotic. Proper.

"Didn't the mansion just be cleaned a few days ago..."

Before Zhen Yi could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Mrs. Zhen, "You can go if you are told! After cleaning, can't you clean it again? If you make Lord Hou unhappy, I will ask you!"

Zhen's beautiful eyes widened, she stared at Zhen Yi and said.

This might be an opportunity for the Zhen family, and it must be seized. If Lord Hou is happy, it is possible for the Zhen family to step into the noble class, and the Zhen family cannot afford to be careless.

Zhen Yi didn't know what his mother was thinking, so he said solemnly: "My child obeys orders, and I will definitely do it properly!"

After finishing speaking, Zhen Yi ran out in a hurry.

When Liu Yu and his party were more than ten miles away from Wuji County, they heard Dian Wei humming slightly outside the carriage and said: "My lord! There is a group of people ahead, who claim to be Wuji Zhen's family, and come to welcome the lord!"

Liu Yu was also very surprised when he heard Dian Wei's report. The Zhen family gave him enough face to go out of the city so far to meet him.

Liu Yu lifted the curtain of the car and let Dianwei get out of the car, and saw a group of more than ten people surrounded by more than a hundred cavalry, trembling.

Think about it too, normal people are surrounded by more than a hundred cavalry, fear is also normal.

At this time, Zhen Yi was wrapped into dumplings by the cavalry, seeing the tall and mighty cavalry, full of murderous looks, Zhen Yi's heart was pounding.

After the torment, I finally saw a young man getting off from the luxury carriage opposite. This young man had red lips, white teeth, sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

The young master was followed by a nine-foot-tall man holding a short halberd, with a ferocious face and a hunchback, giving people an invisible oppression.

Liu Yu walked slowly in front of the group of people, and said with a smile, "Are you from Wuji Zhen's family?"

Hearing Liu Yu's question, the leader on the opposite side walked out cautiously.

Respectfully, he bowed to Liu Yu and said, "Zhen Yi and Zhen Xiansi of the Wuji Zhen family, I have met Lord Hou! Lord Hou honored me by coming to my Zhen family, and it really made my Zhen family flourish."

Liu Yu smiled lightly and said, "Master Zhen doesn't need to be too polite. I have heard that the Zhen family in Zhongshan is willing to do good and treat people kindly, so I came to have a look."

"The Zhen family is a family of merchants, how can they deserve such a reputation as Lord Hou, it really makes Yi feel ashamed!" Zhen Yi showed shame, but Liu Yu keenly noticed the joy in the corner of his eyes.

"Since ancient times, there are no worthy men under the great reputation, so you don't have to be humble." Liu Yu said with a slight smile.

"Then Yi thanked Lord Hou." Zhen Yi said after a pause: "This is not a place for conversation, please get in the car, Yi has prepared some thin wine, and please treat Master Hou." Zhen Yi remained respectful Said.

"Then you're welcome!"

The two got into the carriage respectively, followed by a large group of cavalry, and hurriedly headed for Wuji County.

Chapter 018

Zhen's house in Wuji County, Zhongshan, is very lively with lanterns and festoons today. It is said that it is because Liu Yu, Marquis of Jieduting, came to visit the house.

Early in the morning, people from all over the house started to work, and they have been busy until now, but everyone was very excited.

Because such a big man as the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, and servants like them, it is rare to see each other in this life.

Liu Yu politely declined the county magistrate who came to see him, and then came to Zhen's mansion.

In the living room of Zhen's meeting room, Liu Yu and Zhen Yi sat facing each other. There were also two tables next to Liu Yu, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei were sitting respectively. The army was stationed outside the city and could not enter the city. Liu Xiao was under temporary command.

At this time, the two of them were only eating, and did not drink alcohol. Although Dian Wei was tall and burly, his mind was a bit dull.

But he, Dian Wei, also knows that when going out with the lord, he can't drink alcohol, and he must always put the lord's safety first.

Liu Yu and Zhen Yi exchanged cups, feeling very uncomfortable. Liu Yu was too young to drink, so he substituted tea for wine.

During the period, to add to the fun, Zhen Yi even called the dancers to dance, but it was a lonely dance, Huang Zhong didn't look sideways, and Dian Wei only cared about destroying the food on the table.

Only Liu Yu pretended to appreciate it in order not to refute Zhen Yi's face, and Zhen Yi also saw that Liu Yu didn't mean it, so he waved his hand and let the singers back out.

According to Liu Yu's understanding, Zhen Yi is very talented, and the Zhen family also plans to become an official, but they have no connections.

At this time, unlike the later period, money can buy an official. Now if you want to be an official, you must be filial and honest, and Zhen Yi is obviously not qualified.

Liu Yu also took a fancy to Zhen Yi's talent and planned to use it. Relying on Liu Yu's status, it was only a matter of saying that he wanted Zhen Yi to become an official, but Liu Yu had his own arrangements in mind.

Liu Yu revealed his meaning in a cryptic way, but Zhen Yi couldn't figure it out with his intelligence, so he was overjoyed and toasted to Liu Yu excitedly, and Liu Yu returned a few glasses with tea instead of wine.

Soon, the feast of the guests came to an end. Zhen Yi ordered his servants to prepare three guest rooms. Zhen Yi personally led Liu Yu to the outside of the room, said goodbye to Liu Yu, and left.

Liu Yu also felt physically exhausted. When he entered the room, he saw that the bath water was ready. After drinking the maid who wanted to serve Liu Yu in the bath, he took a comfortable bath and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Liu Yu got up to wash up under the service of the maid. When he opened the door, he saw Dian Wei standing at the door like an iron tower. He said in astonishment: "Dian Wei, you have been staying here all this time? Could it be that you haven't slept all night?" ?”

"Yes, my lord!" Dian Weiweng said in a low voice.

Liu Yu was very moved and said: "From now on, you can go back to your room to sleep. If you don't sleep all the time, how can you bear it? Benhou is safe in Zhen's house, and you don't need to guard him at night." A loyal person like Dian Wei, Liu Yu Yu was very moved.

"My lord! I, Lao Dian, don't have anything to do if I don't sleep for a few nights. My lord's safety is the most important thing! Even if I go to sleep, Brother Huang Zhong will come to protect me!"

have to!Seeing Dian Wei's firm look, Liu Yu knew that even if Liu Yu forced Dian Wei to go to sleep, Dian Wei would still come to protect him when he fell asleep.

Liu Yu shook his head, no longer insisting, and took Dian Wei to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Liu Yu asked the servants of Zhen's mansion why they didn't see Zhen Yi, and was told that Zhen Yi had gone to prepare food for Liu Yu's soldiers and horses.

Liu Yu thought to himself, Zhen Yi's behavior is really hard to find fault with, anyway, the Zhen family has a big business, so it's not bad, so he let him go.

With nothing else to do, Liu Yu wandered around Zhen's Mansion. This Zhen's Mansion is really magnificent, with pavilions, towers and pavilions, rockery and flowing water, magnificent, and its size is several times larger than his own Hou's Mansion.

This is not to say that Zhen's Mansion is richer than his Hejian State Marquis's Mansion. The entire Hejian State's tax revenue must be collected from the people and used for the people.

Liu Yu doesn't know how much money is in the treasury of the Hou Mansion, because Zhao Lie helps to manage it.

At this moment, Liu Yu suddenly smelled a fragrance of flowers, followed this smell slowly, and Liu Yu came to an elegant courtyard.

I saw this elegant courtyard with a small bridge in the middle, and a small pond under the bridge. By the pond, there are exotic flowers and plants everywhere, and the flowers are competing for beauty, and the nose is full of fragrance.

There was a woman on the bridge, about [-] years old, dressed in expensive blue satin, holding a child in her arms, and holding a four or five-year-old girl in her hand. Because the distance was too far, Liu Yu did not see the woman's appearance clearly. Occasionally, the crisp laughter of a girl can be heard.

Liu Yu felt that this was a bit impolite, but if he made a sudden noise, he was afraid that it would scare the women and children, so he wanted to turn around and leave.

At this moment, the girl glanced away occasionally and saw Liu Yu.

"Mother! There is a big brother watching us over there!" The chubby little finger pointed in the direction where Liu Yu was, and shouted in a clear and clear child's voice.

Just as Liu Yu turned around and took a step, before his feet fell, he heard the girl's cry.

Helpless, he could only retract his legs in embarrassment, and then turned around to meet the woman's scrutinizing gaze.

Liu Yu frowned and said: "This... I was wandering around your mansion, and I smelled a scent of flowers by chance, so I came here with the scent of flowers. I didn't expect this to be the residence of your family members. Please forgive me for disturbing you! "

Liu Yu was a little displeased by the woman's eyes, which was the first time Liu Yu met such eyes.

But after all, he was reckless, so he didn't get angry.After all, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop! Who do you belong to..." At this time, the woman also reacted, and saw the young man in front of her, who was dressed in expensive clothes, elegant and elegant, with an air of nobility.

I suddenly remembered what my husband said to me last night, and my body became alert.

The woman panicked and asked aloud: "Is this young master Liu Yu, Lord Xieduting?"
