Ah Chou

Zhang Ji does not have many family members. Although the Zhang family is a famous family in Jingzhou, after Zhang Ji left officialdom, his family gradually faded out of the mainstream of the family.[]

So the only people accompanying him were Zhang Ji's wives, concubines, and his children, as well as a few old servants and maids. As for the ordinary handymen, all the ordinary servants were dismissed. He planned to go to Chang'an and recruit a new group -

—Those people are more familiar with life in Chang'an, and it is easier for their families to adapt to life in Chang'an as soon as possible.

After all, compared to Jingzhou, Yongzhou, where Chang'an is located, already belongs to the north, and the severe cold in winter is enough to collapse southerners who have never experienced it.

It was spring and summer when we lived at Huang Zhong's house, so there was nothing difficult to adapt to. However, when Zhang Ji came back this time, his wife, sons and daughters started to feel obvious discomfort even before Zhang Ji was fine.

"Why is it so cold today!"

Maybe the snow scene is a rare sight for southerners, especially the kind of snow scene where the sky and the earth are the same color, but it would be better if there were no life-threatening cold and knife-like cold wind.

"It's winter now, it's naturally like this in the north!"

Zhang Ji didn't adapt either. He wrapped himself in several layers of clothes and even put on a fur coat given to him by Huang Zhong. He still felt that the cold wind kept getting through the gaps.

Also unaccustomed were the Huang family who had just moved in. Even Huang Chengyan caught a bit of wind and cold due to being unaccustomed to the weather during this period, so Zhang Ji ran to Huang Chengyan's house without even being able to sit still when he came back.

Went to help him see a doctor.

When the two families came to Chang'an together, Liu Xuan made arrangements to become neighbors directly.

Although Chang'an City has been stable and safe in recent years, many people have gathered here, causing the population of Chang'an to continue to grow.

However, the population in this era was not so large that it was difficult to find a place to live. In addition, a large number of new people did not settle in the city, but in surrounding counties and counties. Therefore, there are still many vacant areas or areas in Chang'an City.

Speaking of residences, with the current prestige of the imperial court, arranging two residences is naturally not a problem.

After Zhang Ji diagnosed and treated Huang Chengyan and prescribed medicine, he told him to get more rest during this period and then started chatting about trivial matters between the two families.

"By the way, when I come to Chang'an this time, I am traveling with Mr. Qiao!"

"Mr. Qiao?" Huang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Gong Qiao's family would follow him.

Mr. Qiao's family lived in Wancheng, Lujiang. In the early years, the Yellow Turban bandits revived and occupied most of Yuzhou. Although they did not attack Lujiang County, the troops were pointed directly at them. Seeing the disaster of war in front of them, Mr. Qiao's family wanted to attack themselves.

His daughter has a long-standing reputation, and if the Yellow Turban thieves are allowed to break into Wancheng, disaster will surely befall her.

So soon Qiao Gong packed his bags and left his hometown, and came to settle in Xiangyang, Jingzhou - compared to Lujiang, Xiangyang was much safer. The rear general Yuan Shu was in front of him. Even if Yuan Shu couldn't hold on, so could Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

The heroes in the world should not be able to resist even for a moment.

If Liu Xuan knew about it, he would probably bury Mr. Qiao's eyes severely.

Because Lujiang had already been under Sun Ce's rule at that time, Qiao Gong saw that the new Yangzhou shepherd was just a young man, so he felt that the boundaries of Yangzhou could not be preserved.

Liu Jingsheng, a famous scholar now, has been running Jingzhou for a while, and his famous ministers, generals and soldiers are all ready. The later general Yuan Shu was also one of the princes who attacked Dong at that time. He also served as the tiger and the lieutenant general in the court, and he was also a member of the Yuan family. He was capable.

Naturally good.

So he felt that Jingzhou was safer than Yangzhou... But in fact, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu together were not necessarily as good as a small overlord from Jiangdong.

But now that the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou have been pacified, Lujiang will naturally no longer be threatened. Why did Mr. Qiao come to Chang'an instead of living in Lujiang?

Zhang Ji knew it, and whispered to Huang Chengyan: "What else could it be for? Isn't it because his daughters are so famous that they attract many people's attention?"

"Forehead……"

Huang Chengyan nodded, indicating that he understood. Speaking of Qiao Xuan's daughters, they were already well-known in Lujiang. At that time, the daughters were still young and did not consider marriage for the time being. If not,

The Yellow Turban Army was watching eagerly, and those guys were a bunch of unreasonable bandits. Mr. Qiao would not move away from his hometown and take refuge in Jingzhou.

But now that the years have passed and the two daughters have grown up, that excuse is not so easy to use. As far as Zhang Ji knows, the Cai family has come to propose marriage many times, and Huang Zu also sent people to propose marriage for his son, and even

He also persuaded Liu Jingsheng to make peace with him, with a posture that said, "If you don't hand over your daughter, we will never be done with you."

Although Mr. Qiao is somewhat famous, he can only be regarded as a wealthy man with a slight reputation. He really has no choice but to move to avoid troubles with these powerful people.

Originally, he wanted to return to Lujiang, but unfortunately Jiangdong suddenly became less peaceful. It is said that after the Yellow Turban bandits were pacified, Yangzhou Mu Sun Ce had conflicts with several families under his rule. Among them, the Lu family was killed by Sun Ce.

The whole house was full, and Jiangdong looked like it was about to cause chaos, so Mr. Qiao did not dare to go back.

He couldn't go back to his hometown, and he couldn't live in Jingzhou anymore, so he had no choice but to find another place. At this time, Zhang Ji returned to Jingzhou to pick up his family and Huang Chengyan's family. After learning that these two people were going to move to Chang'an, they had some friendship with them.

Mr. Qiao also followed him - and during this period, he inevitably wanted to use Zhang Ji's name and reputation to help him escape.

"Sister Qiao is here too?"

As he was talking, a crisp voice suddenly came from beside him, and Zhang Ji knew who was speaking without even turning around.

Turning around slightly, he saw a little girl about six or seven years old, with yellow hair and dark skin, blinking her big eyes, holding something unknown in her hand and looking at her.

"Oh? What are you doing, A Chou?"

When Zhang Ji asked, the little girl named A Chou remembered what she was holding: "I was walking around on the street just now and found that there are many novel things in Chang'an, so I bought some for daddy to try!"

"What? Food?"

Watching A Chou place the small pot he was holding in front of Huang Chengyan, and then lifted the lid, a burst of hot steam steamed out, mixed with bursts of aroma.

"smell good!"

Huang Chengyan's nose was blocked and he couldn't smell. Zhang Ji on the side looked at the small pot with wide eyes and found that the soup inside was still bubbling. It was absolutely impossible for the weather outside to be so hot. It was probably another

I went to reheat it before bringing it over.

"Dad, if you eat some of this and sweat a little, this disease may be cured!"

After hearing this, Huang Chengyan realized that his daughter had bought this for her own health, and he was naturally happy. He picked up the chopsticks on the side and was about to eat when he heard a servant coming to report.

"There is someone outside who wants to see the master!"

"Huh?" Huang Chengyan had no choice but to put down his chopsticks again and asked, "Did you tell me who he was?"

"The man said his name is Liu Zi'ang, and he is an acquaintance of the master... But he looks very young, only in his twenties..." Now the person is wondering if this person is an impostor? But the man is not dressed well.

Like, just as he was minding his own analysis, he saw his master suddenly stood up and walked out in a hurry.

"well?"

Not only Huang Chengyan, but also Zhang Ji, who was visiting as a guest, looked the same. The two of them hurried out, leaving A Chou beside him wondering: "Liu Zi'ang? Who is this?"

They don't know each other. It's impossible that Huang Chengyan and Zhang Ji don't know each other. That's today.

Liu Xuan's courtesy name is Zi'ang. Maybe many people in the world know that the emperor is called Liu Xuan, but some ordinary people will definitely not pay attention to what the emperor's name is. Some people even don't know the emperor's name because they usually call him emperor.

, Your Majesty, the emperor came to call you, as if this was Liu Xuan's name.

But as an important minister of the imperial court, it is impossible not to know this, so Huang Chengyan immediately realized that this was the arrival of the emperor. Although it seemed that the emperor did not want to make too much noise and just came in casual clothes, as a minister

, but the etiquette cannot be ignored, the two people rushed to the gate, and then invited Liu Xuan into the courtyard first, and then followed the etiquette and law.

"No need to be polite, I just came to see how Huang Shangshu is doing today. Is there anything serious?"

He finally found a qualified minister for the Ministry of Industry, which gradually put the Ministry of Industry on the right track. He did not want Huang Chengyan to fall at this time.

Although he had asked Xun Yu to teach some cultivation techniques to Huang Chengyan appropriately, Huang Chengyan was too old, and he suddenly came to Chang'an and was not comfortable with the soil and water, so he contracted the disease, which was not serious. He recovered and adapted to the environment in the north.

After the climate is restored, there will naturally be no problem.

"It's nothing serious, just take care of it and it'll be fine!"

Liu Xuan looked at the sky, looked at the trembling looks of the two old men with gray beards and hair, and said with a smile: "Don't just stand here stupidly, let's talk after we go in!"

As the host, Huang Chengyan led the way, and soon returned to the hall, but this time the seat of honor was naturally given to Liu Xuan.

"Huh?" Looking at the steaming dog meat pot in front of him, Liu Xuan smiled: "Eating this in winter is the most refreshing. Huang Shangshu is infected with the wind and cold. Eating this can help him sweat more. Maybe this disease

It will be ready immediately!”

As Liu Xuan took out more and more seeds of seasonings, and the royal plantations harvested several times, these things gradually flowed into the people, and now many restaurants in Chang'an began to sell them. Liu Xuan was familiar with them.

of dishes.

In addition, the people have plenty of money in their hands. Even though it is the cold winter season, the city of Chang'an is not as deserted as it was back then. It is extremely lively all day long.

After asking a few more questions about how Huang Chengyan and Zhang Ji were settling down in Chang'an, Liu Xuan suddenly said to the corner: "Come out, isn't it tiring to hide there and watch?"

Zhang Ji and Huang Chengyan were stunned at first, and then their expressions turned ugly as if they had thought of something. Huang Chengyan even shouted angrily: "How can you be so ridiculous in front of the emperor? Why don't you come out to apologize?"

He didn't even need to look to know that the one who did such a thing must be his daughter A Chou, Huang Yueying!
