Han Dao world

Chapter 673
Liu Xie agreed to Fushou's request and ordered Fu Wan to come to Chang'an.

In addition to Fu Wan, Liu Xie issued another edict.Although the discussion on whether to move the capital to Chang'an has not yet come to fruition, he will live in Chang'an for a period of time and has no plan to return to Hedong in the short term.The new year is approaching, and the soldiers whose family members are in Hedong can send letters back to bring the family members to Chang'an to celebrate the new year.

At the same time, Liu Xie issued an order to be a master craftsman to repair and renovate some houses in Chang'an for the families of soldiers to live in during the winter leisure time.In order to avoid too much conscripting labor and excessively disturbing the people, he asked to select some soldiers from the army to work.

Because it was preparing a residence for the upcoming family members of the soldiers, the enthusiasm of the soldiers was high, and they worked in full swing.

The efficiency of the army is high.After half a month, the barracks were ready.

Around the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, the first group of people who received the news arrived from Hedong.

Xia Houlan rushed to Baqiao to meet his wife.

Since parting from his wife in Hedong, he has not seen his wife for more than a year, let alone his newborn son.He couldn't leave because he was on official business.After the wife just gave birth, it is not suitable to travel long distances, so it has been dragged down.

"Junzheng, is that the carriage?" A servant suddenly called out, pointing to the distance.

Xia Houlan narrowed her eyes and took a closer look, but she still wasn't too sure.

After working as a teaching assistant, he not only had to teach, but also corrected a large number of homework, and his eyesight deteriorated severely.Especially in the distance, it is very blurry.When the carriage was approaching, he saw it clearly and rushed to meet it.

The coachman pulled the reins, and the two horses slowed down, stopping right in front of Xia Houlan.The coachman shook his eyebrows triumphantly, very satisfied with his driving skills.He knocked on the wall of the car with his backhand and shouted loudly: "Madam, here we are. This is your husband, he is really young and promising."

Upon hearing the sound, Mrs. Zhang pushed open the car window and saw Xia Houlan who was rushing towards her with big strides. Before she could speak, her eyes were wet.

"What, what's the matter?" Xia Houlan was a little flustered. "Are you too tired?"

"No, no." Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears while shaking her eyes, staring at Xia Houlan, reluctant to leave for a moment.

"Sister is not tired. This carriage is fast and stable, and the driver's driving skills are even more first-class." Zhen Mi pushed the door and jumped out of the carriage first. "Sister, let's take a look after getting out of the car, don't delay the car owner's business. It's still early, take the guests and rush back, and you can still make it to Xinfeng today. Drink a few glasses of Xinfeng wine and sleep well I feel that I can catch up with another two hundred miles tomorrow."

The boss of the car laughed. "Young gentleman is worthy of being the son of a big businessman. This account is better than mine. All right, just for your words, I don't want the final payment."

"How can it be?" Zhen Mi said, took out a small purse from her sleeve, and threw it to Boss Che. "For the agreed price, you can only pay more, not less. You drove the car well, my sister didn't suffer, and even the baby slept well. I also want to thank you."

The boss of the car took it in his hand, smiled openly, got out of the car, and helped carry the luggage.

Seeing it, Xia Houlan nodded secretly.

Although Zhen Mi is young, she is better at handling people than her own wife, Zhang Shi.It can be seen that Zhen Mi is making arrangements for this journey.

Seeing Xia Houlan staring at Zhen Mi, Mrs. Zhang whispered, "Husband, Zhen Shaojun is a talent. Not only is he generous, but also smart. It's nothing more than being good at accounting. He can learn everything quickly. If she didn't want to take care of me, Mrs. Tang would not be willing to bear it." Let her go. I heard that in order to keep her, Mrs. Tang even promised to advise the emperor and send her to the palace."

"Really?" Xia Houlan was also a little surprised.

Mrs. Tang is notoriously indifferent, consciously staying away from government affairs, and unwilling to bother the emperor for anyone.Zhen Mi was actually recommended by her, it seems that she is really talented.

No wonder Zhang Hong valued her so much, he tried his best to offend Yuan Shao and rescue her.

"Will she go with us first, or..."

"Come with us first." Mrs. Zhang tugged Xia Houlan's sleeve quietly. "She has no relatives or friends in Chang'an, she only knows us, so naturally she wants to be with us. She accompanied me all the way, so naturally I have to take care of her for a few days."

Xia Houlan knew very well that this was one of his few opportunities.With Zhen Mi's intelligence and accumulated contacts, it will be a matter of time before she enters the palace.

Xia Houlan asked people to go up to help, loaded the luggage into the car, and drove to the barracks together.

Zhen Mi asked Xia Houlan to get into the car to accompany Mrs. Zhang, and rode by herself.Xia Houlan was a little worried at first, but when he saw Zhen Mi's vigor on the horse, he accepted the suggestion, hugged his son in one hand, and Zhang Shi in the other, enjoying the family happiness.

Entering the Bacheng Gate, driving through the long avenue, on both sides are the majestic palace walls, although they are ruined.Zhang's thoughts were all on Xia Houlan, but Zhen Mi watched with gusto.

"Brother Xiahou, is this the Changle Palace back then?"

Xia Houlan glanced out. "Yeah, we can be regarded as being in Changle Palace now, you really know a lot."

"I heard Mrs. Tang tell the story of Changle Palace, so I remembered it."

"There are too many stories about Changle Palace, which one have you heard?"

Zhen Mi smiled slightly, but said nothing.Xia Houlan didn't hear any reply, so she turned her head to take a look, and seeing Zhen Mi's eyes were clear, but with a depth that didn't match her age, she couldn't help being shocked.

He had a feeling that the Zhen Mi in front of him was not the same person as the Zhen Mi he knew half a year ago.

What exactly did she experience in Hedong, and how did she change so much?
Xia Houlan turned her head to look at her wife Zhang again, feeling more and more puzzled.Except that Mrs. Zhang is a little whiter and a little fatter, I really can't see much difference.

"Is there anyone living in this Changle Palace?" Mrs. Zhang also became interested.

"The Changle Palace was originally the residence of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager died a long time ago. How can anyone live in the Changle Palace?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help feeling sad. "The emperor is really pitiful. He lost his mother when he was born, his father when he was young, his grandmother was forced to death, and his elder brother and sister were killed by traitors. Now Mrs. Tang is considered a relative. Although she is the emperor, she is the most pitiful person in the world. .”

Zhen Mi rolled her eyes. "You can't say that. Mrs. Tang is just a sister-in-law. No matter how close you are, can you be closer than the queen and nobles?"

"That's not necessarily true." Zhang lowered her voice. "Mr. Xun Gui entered the palace because of Xun Lingyin, and Empress Fu was appointed by the ministers of the court. Things in this palace are different from our small family. Marriage is only based on interests. It is said that it is a husband and wife, but it is actually related to the marriage. It's like doing business..."

"Hmm!" Xia Houlan coughed.

Mrs. Zhang knew she had made a slip of the tongue, but refused to admit her mistake, and argued forcefully, "Ami is just like my sister, so what does it matter if I talk to her?"

"That's right, that's right." Zhen Mi also spoke for Zhang Shi.

The two laughed together.

Xia Houlan was a little helpless.He discovered that his wife has not changed, but these changes are not reflected in vision, but in mentality.Now she is a bit presumptuous, outspoken, not as cautious as before.

He has seen too many similar situations.

The typical ones are the female battalion knights, and Ma Yunlu, Lu Xiaohuan and others are the most prominent.In their eyes, it is nonsense that men are superior to women, and that men dominate outside and women dominate inside.

In the future, can the husband and wife still hold the same eyebrows and respect each other like guests?
