Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

After Cao Lan came back and finished his report, he continued to inquire about Gaodu.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Yang's wedding was about to be held. This time, he married three women at the same time, and there was one more woman than when he married Qiao and Qiao in Lujiang.

Because of this, the house is very lively, and there are a lot of preparations. There are busy people everywhere, even Chen Yang is no exception. He went out to pick out the cloth and sewed the wedding clothes. Once he went out, the brats at home would definitely To keep up, hang out together lively.

Today's Xiangyang is definitely the busiest place in the Great Wei Dynasty, people come and go in the market, and shopping is also convenient.

"Father, look quickly, that old woman is so pitiful!"

While walking on the road, Shu'er tugged on Chen Yang's sleeve, and looked at an old woman beside the street.

The old woman looks to be 70 to [-] years old. In this era, she is definitely considered old and long-lived. She also has gray hair and wrinkled face. She sits on the ground casually and sells some small objects, but no one who passes by pays attention to her, including Chen. Praise them, only Shu'er is an exception.

"Father, let's help her."

Shu'er was so young, but she was so kind-hearted, with big eyes, she looked at her father with sparkles, and her eyes were full of longing.

"Since Shu'er has spoken, father must help her."

Chen Yang walked over to the old woman and took a look at the things she was selling. All of them were worthless, except for a special bronze mirror with exquisite patterns and beautiful carvings.

"Great... Great General!"

Seeing Chen Yang coming, the old woman hurriedly got up and saluted.

"You are welcome, old man."

Chen Yang helped her sit down again, and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"In Xiangyang City, who doesn't know the General? On the day His Majesty ascended the throne, I had the honor to meet the General outside the imperial city."

The old woman couldn't help but panic when she got his care, as if she was afraid of angering Chen Yang, she spoke cautiously.

"Old man, I bought all of your things, and Wang Yue gave all our money to the old man."

Chen Yang didn't hesitate, since she was selling things here, she must be short of money.

The old man who would come out to sell alone may be the only one left in the family, childless and lonely.

Wang Yue put all the money he brought out in a heavy bag.

"Old man, is this enough?" Chen Yang asked.

"Too much, too much!" The old woman waved her hands and said, "My things are worthless."

Chen Yang said with a smile: "The old man takes it. Wang Yue, you arrange a few people to send the old man back. The money is too heavy."

Once there are more coins in this era, it will definitely be troublesome to carry them, not to mention that it is normal for the old man to be unable to carry them because of his age.

"Thank you General, thank you General!"

The old woman bowed and bowed excitedly.

Chen Yang told her not to be polite, put away all the small things, bid her farewell and left.

"Father, you are so kind!"

Shu'er happily waved her little hand.

"It's Shu'er who is good, and father who is not. They didn't notice her."

Chen Yang picked her up and touched her little nose. The girl smiled even more happily.

"Sister Shu'er is too kind."

Ru'er said guiltily, "I didn't notice that old woman either."

"Sister Shu'er, my mother has always said that if I want to learn from sister Shu'er, I will be as kind as you in the future."

Piao'er immediately echoed, with a little excitement on his face.

Shu'er was praised by them, her face flushed slightly, and she hugged her father's neck proudly, and the family went back happily.

On the other side, the servant who was carrying the money bag and sending the old woman back also arrived at the old woman's house.

The old woman's house was very messy and dirty, very simple and bare, and he even found out that the things the old woman sold were like her previous dowry.

If he had no other way out, he would not have taken out the dowry and sold it lightly.

The servant felt sour, took out all the money on his body, and said: "Old man, I will give you these, and I will send you here. There is still something to do at the general's residence, so let's go first."

He put down the money and the heavy bag of coins, and was worried that the old woman would not want it, so he rushed out the door quickly.

"thank you all!"

Tears welled up in the old woman's eyes, but when the servant walked away, she narrowed her eyes, stretched out her hand and lifted it up from the neck, and a layer of human skin mask fell off.

"The last thing is done, the mirror is sent out, and everything that should be arranged is also arranged."

The old woman was actually Xiao Qiu pretending to be. She lifted the purse and said with a smile: "From now on, I really don't care about the affairs here. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."

After she finished speaking, she left here.

Chen Yang still didn't know who the old woman was, and most of the little things he bought when he returned home were useless.

"Husband, what did you buy these for?"

Mizhen asked curiously.

"I asked my father to buy it."

Shu'er put things in a nutshell.

"Shu'er is kind-hearted. I think that old woman is quite pitiful. Anyway, our family is not short of money."

Chen Yang said with a smile: "Look at what you want, and play with it."

Shu'er carefully picked up the bronze mirror and said with a smile, "Father, this is very beautiful. I want it. Come and take a look, there are words on it."

"What's the word?"

Chen Yang took the bronze mirror curiously, and as soon as he turned it over, he saw two characters engraved on the top of the mirror—mirror reverse.

This is still Qin Zhuan font.

These two words were somewhat familiar, he thought for a while, and his body shook slightly.

The mirror of Huangquan is crossing the river of darkness.

This sentence appeared in the secret given by Sima Hui back then, and now this bronze mirror is also engraved with the word "mirror reverse". Does it have any special meaning, and there may be a connection.

Shu'er didn't know what her father was thinking, she played with the bronze mirror curiously, and exclaimed: "There are no more words."

Chen Yang looked down and found that the two words he saw just now had miraculously disappeared without leaving any traces. How could this be possible!

"Shu'er, can you give me the mirror?"

Chen Yang asked softly.

"Father likes it too? Give it!"

Shu'er raised her small hand and handed out the bronze mirror.

"It's so cute!"

Chen Yang smiled.

"Husband, what's special about this mirror?"

Seeing the change in his expression, Mi Zhen asked curiously.

"I don't know, I just think this thing is not simple."

Chen Yang couldn't tell if there was anything special about it, so he continued: "Let me do some research first, you go and play."

He came to the backyard, took a good look at the bronze mirror, and found that the patterns carved on it were very beautiful, and the patterns were very old, which should have a certain history, but there was no patina or anything on it.

"Cao Lan!"

Chen Yang hesitated for a long time, and said loudly: "Go and check on that old man, I want to know everything about her."

If he doesn't check, he will feel uneasy and have more and more thoughts.
