Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

After Cao Lan left, Chen Yang thought again about the parchment that Sima Hui gave him.

The question of the mirror mentioned in it, will it have something to do with this bronze mirror? Who is that old woman?Happened to appear at this time.

"Father, what are you thinking?"

Shu'er didn't know when she was sitting in front of Chen Yang, looking at it cutely with her head sideways.

"Shu'er, how did you see that old man?"

Chen Yang carried her over and asked.

"Shu'er didn't notice her at first. When my father was shopping, she waved to me. Then I saw the pitiful look in her eyes and thought that her family might have difficulties."

Shu'er thought about it for a while, and said that, "My mother often told me that if you see someone in difficulty, you can help as much as you can. I saw the old woman like that, so let my father help her."

Having said that, she asked carefully, "Father, did Shu'er do something wrong?"

"Shu'er is right, you did a good job."

Chen Yang pinched her little face lightly, and said, "Shu'er is kind-hearted, better than her father, and she has done a very good job."

"Father is a great hero."

The little girl took Chen Yang's hand and said, "Father has always been fine."

"Okay, let's go and play with your sister Ru'er. Father has other things to do. I'll take you guys out to buy things tomorrow."

Chen Yang said softly.

"it is good!"

Shu'er bounced away.

In less than half an hour, Cao Lan came back with results.

"General, the old man is gone."

Cao Lan said very solemnly.

"It's gone, do you mean you can't find anyone, or is it completely gone?"

Chen Yang thought to himself, there is indeed a problem.

"It's completely gone!"

Cao Lan added: "I found out that the old man's house was empty. I asked the people nearby, and they said that there was indeed an old man living in that place, but he died a year ago. Her family was half a year old. He moved out of Xiangyang a month ago and never came back, there must be something wrong with that old man."

Chen Yang's expression froze, and he said, "You really can't find anything? What happened to the old man before today?"

Cao Lan also shook her head and said: "Before today, there was no such old man in Xiangyang. She seemed to appear suddenly and then disappeared suddenly. Her shadow spread almost all over Xiangyang, and she couldn't be found."

This is really amazing. Chen Yang can be sure that there must be some reason why the old man approached Shu'er and asked him to buy those things, including the bronze mirror, through Shu'er. Give the bronze mirror to yourself.

So who could she be?What does it have to do with those Taoists?

Chen Yang never thought that the old woman might be Xiao Qiu in disguise, and there were many things he couldn't figure out at the moment.

"General, do you still want to investigate?"

Cao Lan asked again.

"Continue to investigate, I must know her specific identity."

Chen Yang pondered for a while, let him go down first, and then found the servant who sent the old woman back just now.

The servant briefly explained the matter of going to the old woman's house, and said that he gave all the money on his body to the old woman.

From what he said, Chen Yang couldn't tell there was any problem. The servants in his family were very clean, so he called him away.

"Old Fang, do you know anyone who can appraise ancient relics?" Chen Yang found Fang Hua and asked.

The identification of antiques in ancient China began with Ouyang Xiu’s epigraphy. Although there is no such category as epigraphy, some people like to collect some ancient objects, such as jade wares. Generally speaking, the older they are, the more valuable they are, and The antiques of later generations are similar.

People who can play this kind of game are basically rich and noble families. Ordinary people can't even eat, so they don't have the heart to get these things.

"Master, I really know such a person."

Fang Hua, as Chen Yang's chief housekeeper, knew many people of all kinds and ranks outside.

"Take me to see."

Chen Yang said.

After a while, Chen Yang followed Fang Hua to a pawn shop.

The business of pawning, according to textual research, first sprouted in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties. It has surpassed the Han Dynasty in this era. It is not surprising that there are pawnshops. There are still several pawnshops in Xiangyang.

"Old Fang, are you free to visit me today?"

The owner of the pawn shop is a middle-aged man named Jiang Qian, who warmly invited Fang Hua in.

"Our general needs to find you." Fang Hua said.

Only then did Jiang Qian notice that there was someone behind Fang Hua, and seeing that it was Chen Yang, he quickly bent down and said, "I've seen the general."

"You're welcome, sit down, I have something to appraise for you."

Chen Yang put the bronze mirror on the table and asked, "Can the shopkeeper tell the year of this bronze mirror?"

Jiang Qian didn't dare to be negligent, picked it up and looked at it carefully for a while, then checked the material and the degree of newness on it, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be from the Qin Dynasty."

From the Qin Dynasty?

Sure enough, it is an antique, earlier than Wang Mang, but how do you connect the bronze mirror of the Qin Dynasty with the Tianshu of Wang Mang's period?

"Are you sure?"

Chen Yang asked.

"It should be correct. I have come into contact with many ancient relics from the Qin Dynasty. Although I don't have a bronze mirror here, there are some copper products."

Jiang Qian said with certainty.

"Then trouble the shopkeeper."

Chen Yang was able to confirm the year without asking too much, put away the bronze mirror and left.

Jiang Qian was very strange, he didn't know what the general was going to do, but he didn't dare to ask random questions, for fear of causing trouble for himself.

The bronze mirror of the Qin Dynasty and the heavenly book written by Wang Mang are too far apart. What magical secrets are behind these things?

Chen Yang found that he still knew too little, so that even if he got a lot of things in his hands, he didn't know how to use them next.

"Husband, I heard that you are troubled by a bronze mirror?"

As soon as he got home, Chen Yang saw Qiao Wan and the others walking towards him.

"My husband is always acting weird recently."

Lu Lingqi couldn't help complaining.

"Is your husband in trouble?"

Sun Shangxiang asked with concern.

Seeing how much they cared about him, Chen Yang smiled: "I'm fine, I'm worrying you."

Chen Yang put these messy things aside for the time being, and before he knew it, the day of marriage was coming, and Cao Lan didn't find any news about the old woman, even if there was nothing, as if the world had evaporated.

In this case, Chen Yang decided to think about other things after getting married.

"General, Da Furen asked me to bring you the wedding dress."

Xian'er hugged the big red wedding dress and gently pushed open the door of Chen Yang's room.

In the room, there are also a few maids who are grooming him. Of course, he can't be casual when he is going to get married.
