Chapter 164: There is a house in the first ring


Chang'an has one hundred and sixty miles, among which Shangguanli is the most famous, and the land price is the most expensive.This Lilu is located between Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, at the foot of the imperial city, the north is Jingzhao Mansion Yin, the south is against the city wall, the location is made in heaven, and it is definitely a part of the Beijing division for future generations.There are more than 100 families living in Shangguanli, either the princes of the clan or the important ministers of the imperial court, which can be described as a high-ranking family, so don't look at the small number of households, but Lilu covers a vast area, and half of the Weiyang Palace is big.On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, an old man with a yellow face and a bearded shirt wearing a soap coat was sweeping in the courtyard with only two entrances.His name is Xu Guanghan, a native of Changyi, and his family is well-off.Xu Guanghan was born when Emperor Xiaowu, Wei Huo broke the Xiongnu in Mobei in the year of the Xiongnu, which was something that made the whole Han rejoice, so his father, who was excited about this, gave him the name with the highest frequency of newborns that year: "Guanghan." ”It has the same meaning as the strong east of later generations.But Xu Guanghan has always felt that all the bad luck happened in the first half of his life.When he was young, he was the Lang official of the first generation of Changyi King Liu Ji, and when the King of Changyi entered the court, Xu Guanghan also came to Chang'an and followed Emperor Xiaowu to Ganquan Palace.He was groggy when he left, because he had been poured a few glasses of wine by his colleagues, and mistakenly took the saddle of the Ganquan Palace Langguan and placed it on his mount."

I really just drank too much and took it by mistake, it's not stealing!"

Xu Guanghan defended himself like this, the king of Changyi could have kept him, but only a few days later, the news of Li Guangli's treason and surrender to the Xiongnu came, and the Li family was clansized, and the king of Changyi was too busy to take care of himself, so he couldn't control Xu Guanghan.So he was convicted of stealing from the palace, and although the death penalty was pardoned, he was still pushed down from the silkworm room and executed.The officials of the silkworm room have cut Taishi Gong, the technique is skillful, the sharp knife is roasted hot on the fire, the knife falls down, and the bottom is cold, he is a good man who is expected by his parents to expand the territory for the country in the future, so he became a eunuch.Eunuchs are eunuchs, he has since entered Weiyang Palace, he is honest, and he has also become a eunuch, with a little power in size, so that his wife and daughter can have no worries about food and clothing.But after only two good years, bad luck came again.In the first year of Yuanfeng, after Shangguan Ji colluded with King Yan and Gai to conspire against the general, Xu Guanghan was ordered to search for criminal evidence in the palace of the eldest princess, and he found nothing when he searched, but then the general sent cronies, but he found a "secret cabinet", which contained thousands of ropes that could tie people several feet long!"

I swear, I've searched all those places, and there are no secret cabinets, and there are no ropes."

No matter how Xu Guanghan argued, he was still convicted of dereliction of duty, not to mention the loss of the official, and was sentenced to the punishment of ghost salary, and was punished to do coolies in the court of Weiyang Palace.Lao Xu has been working hard for a few years, and only last year because of his diligence was promoted by the court order to be a violent chamber and a petty official.Looking at the front half of his body, there are two words: unlucky!

Eunuchs who have been tortured in the silkworm chamber are not dignified, not only will they be ridiculed by outsiders, but they will not even be able to raise their heads in front of their own wives, although the rotten punishment of the Han Dynasty is not the same as that of later generations, only cutting eggs and not cutting handles, and occasionally being able to walk humanely, and even restore fertility in the event of medical miracles.But normal people are powerless at Xu Guanghan's age, not to mention that he was stabbed and stopped at all.His wife Xu Yu, who was in the year of the tiger and wolf, became more and more angry and irritable, and Xu Guanghan didn't know how many times he had to be scolded by her a day.At this moment, he was cleaning and working in the courtyard, and his wife was chattering on the side of the kitchen with his waist crossed, Xu Guanghan only flew by mosquitoes and flies, and his mouth was hmm-hmm, but he didn't hear it, and he only thought in his heart: "When Pingjun and my son-in-law come back, let them live in a new home." ”Carefully combing this life, Xu Guanghan's only luck is that he gave birth to a well-behaved daughter Xu Pingjun, who is filial and sensible, and her appearance is also thoughtful, and she is a flower in the court.Fortunately, her daughter followed her own temperament and did not follow her wife Xu Fei.But Xu Guanghan's bad luck seems to have been passed on to his daughter, she turned 15 years old this year, and she has already promised the son of the Inner Ling Ouhou family, but she is about to get married, and the prospective son-in-law is dead!

This matter was relied on on Xu Pingjun, and everyone in the court thought that she killed the prospective groom, and no one came to kiss her.Xu Yu found Yue Wu for divination, saying that her daughter would be a noble person in the future, Xu Yu was happy, but Xu Guanghan didn't believe it and was full of sorrow.Until the elder brother of Zhang Anshi, Marquis of Fuping, who went to the silkworm room because of the case of Prince Wei, Zhang He, who had also been cut, suddenly asked Xu Guanghan to drink, and the two of them were eunuchs, but they could talk.When he was drunk, Zhang He pointed out a clear way for him."

The great-grandson of the emperor who lives in the court with you and others is sick, and although he is now a commoner, as a close relative of the royal family, he will sooner or later seal the inner marquis, but he can be a wife!"

Xu Guanghan felt that it made sense when he heard it, that Liu Yi was already the grandson of Prince Wei, and he was detained in prison since he was a child, and he was only released at the age of five, and he was registered in the clan and lived in the court with the servants and eunuchs.Liu Aiji's residence is next to Xu's house, and he has been a neighbor for several years, so he knows the roots.Xu Guanghan remembered that once he saw Liu Ai helping his daughter carry water by the well, and the two of them talked and laughed, which seemed to be a little interesting."

Could it be that this Zhang He was requested by the emperor's great-grandson to be a matchmaker?"

So Xu Guanghan happily promised and agreed to this family business.But the next day, when his wife Xu Yu found out, she was furious."

I beg for a fortune that my daughter will be rich and noble in the future, and you, an old eunuch with no eggs, actually promised her to a courtier?

The previous internal history of the Ling family, anyway, was a rank of 600 stones!

”Xu Guanghan weakly argued that Liu Ying was already the great-grandson of the emperor, and was reprimanded by his wife: "What's wrong with the surname Liu?"

In this Chang'an City, there are not 10,000 clans surnamed Liu, but 8,000, and there are many people who are worse than my family. ”As for the future closure of the inner marquis and the like, this woman can't listen to it, and she has to see the benefits immediately.Xu Guanghan could only move out of Zhang He to scare his wife: "Zhang He is a court order, it is my boss, I have promised, if I go against his will, maybe I can't even do this little tyrant!"

”Xu Yu gave up, but she always looked down on the hairy-footed son-in-law who liked rangers and fought cocks all day long, and he really had a lot of hair on his calves.When Liu Yi was married, the emperor saw that the money given by his close relatives was not small, in Xu Yu's opinion, it should have been used to buy land or find a serious errand to do, but what about him, instead, he was lavish, and took the bride to visit Wuling?

I really can't live!

To this day, she is still whispering in Xu Guanghan's ear, disgusting this and disgusting that, and at this moment she is pointing to the mansion and saying that she hates Xiao.Xu Guanghan couldn't help it, raised his head and said: "This is Shang Guanli, one acre of land is one million dollars!"

The one who lives next to him is either the prime minister or the prince, and he is the great-grandson of the emperor, and His Majesty heard about his marriage and gave this house, otherwise you and I will not be able to enter in this life. ”"Not necessarily."

Xu Yu muttered: "Our daughter looks so good, she should have been sent to the queen's side in the first place, maybe she will be taken by the Son of Heaven, if so, what will be given is not only these two small mansions." ”She had heard a story that the mother of the first emperor, the Empress Dowager Xiaojing, was named Wang Huan, who was already married and even gave birth to a daughter.But his mother Zang'er found Xiangshi divination, Xiangshi said that Wang Wan was a noble person, so Zang'er forcibly took Wang Wan back, dressed up and sent to the palace, and later gave birth to Emperor Xiaowu.Anyway, my daughter just got married, do you want to learn from Zang'er, and forcibly break off the marriage and stuff her into the palace to be a palace maid?

Xu Guanghan was frightened by his wife's thought: "You are crazy!

Didn't you see that in the huge Weiyang Palace, all the young palace maids were ordered by the queen Zhan Shi sent into the palace by the Huo family to wear poor clothes, and they also tied them to death with belts every day, monitored each other, and could only untie the toilet at a fixed time?

In order to let the queen be the sole favor!

”The wife really wanted to be rich and crazy, and she wanted to push her daughter into the fire pit.The palace seems to be glorious but actually hides danger, he, an ordinary person who has been involved in two turmoil, is so miserable, not to mention those who are in the whirlpool?

The Wei family was once prominent, but now?

Xu Guanghan couldn't bear it anymore and threw the broom: "My daughter and son-in-law love each other, this is not enough, what do you want?"

”"Pingjun Pingjun, why did I give her this name, I just want my daughter to be safe and secure in this life!"

Xu Yu was angry and was about to pinch her waist to quarrel with her husband, but she heard a knock on the door.Xu Guanghan glared at his wife, ran over to open the door, and when he opened it, he saw that it was an old man in embroidered clothes, older than himself."

I am Xia Dingmao of the Hou family of Xi'an, may I ask if this is the emperor's great-grandson's family?""

Xi'an Hou!?"

Xu Yu immediately walked over and smiled flatteringly.She and her husband work in the courtyard of Weiyang Palace on weekdays, and today they are resting and come out to sweep the courtyard for their daughter and son-in-law.Xi'an Hou Renhong has been a man of the hour in Chang'an these days, and he just cut the talisman in the front hall a few days ago, how can he not know?

And Xu Guanghan is also respectful, even if the other party is a family member, he is better than his little husband."

What did you want the Xia family to come into?"

Xia Dingmao looked at this small mansion, bowed his hand to Xu Guanghan, handed over a greeting post, and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Xi'an will move into the new residence of Shangguanli on September 15, let me invite the neighbors to drink together.""

Gentleman, neighbors, I've been invited from house to house.""

According to the gentleman's instructions, he specially went to the south wall and invited the emperor's great-grandson's family and several families in the vicinity.However, Xu Guanghan, the emperor's great-grandson's father-in-law, said that the emperor's great-grandson went out and would not be able to return until next month at the earliest. ”After a while, Xia Dingmao had finished his errand and returned to Ren Hong's new mansion to report to him.The mansion of Xi'an Hou is the mansion of the former Shaofu Xu Ren, Xu Ren was involved in the Sang Hong Yang rebellion case two years ago and was killed, and the house was also copied, so it was emptied, and now it is given to Ren Hong.This house is big enough, there are four entrances, on the left is next to the imperial historian Yang Chang's house, and on the right is the current Shaofu Cai Yi, but it is a little far away from the general Huo Mansion.Ren Hong has already set to move in on September 15, and is personally pondering the recipe for the banquet at the moment.Of course, since they are neighbors, the great-grandson of the emperor in Tongli naturally has to invite them, which is called a few thoughtful gifts."

The emperor's great-grandson is not at home, and he will return next month?"

Ren Hong was stunned when he heard this, this scene is so familiar, do you want him to look at the thatched house three times?"

Wait."

Ren Hong felt that something was not quite right, touched his chin and said secretly: "I obviously want to be Zhuge Kongming, how did I get Liu Bei's script?"

”PS: None at night.Tomorrow there will be a commuter pass update.
