The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 119 Huo Qubing is sore

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Wei Ning took care of all the chores in Lantian and took Zhao Ce and other ten generals to Chang'an.

He left ten Yulin family generals to guard the ancestral home in Qianshui Village, Lantian.

The house built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for Weining in Chang'an was relatively remote and not in the most prosperous urban area.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that Weining did not like to make noise, so he made such careful arrangements.

The mansion occupies a huge area, covering ten acres of land. There are small bridges, flowing water, and rockery lofts built inside. There are a total of six entrances in the front and back, and the building is divided into three floors.

This kind of construction pattern and height is already on par with ordinary marquises, and it also shows the scale of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In ancient times, the construction and height of houses were very particular. Common people could only use low houses, and lowly businessmen were not qualified to live in attics.

Although the level of housing construction in the Han Dynasty was still relatively low, Zongzheng Da Nong Mansion already represented the highest construction level in the entire Han Dynasty.

When Wei Ning took Zhao Ce and other generals and maids into the Chang'an Guards House, Zhao Ce was drooling.

"General, this house... is so big!"

"Your Majesty is so generous! So majestic, so majestic!"

He had never seen such a majestic house in his life. The construction of such a large house required an unknown amount of wood, stones, and labor. It was built in only about three months. This also shows how much Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty valued Weining.

Huo Qubing came over early this morning. As a champion, Huo Qubing was naturally not stingy.

He led a team of domestic slaves and sent Weining a lot of sandalwood furniture, low desks, desks, futons, wardrobes, dressing mirrors, etc.

Huo Qubing stood on the second floor of the huge Huxin Pavilion, overlooking the layout of the entire courtyard, and couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Admiration."

"Jealous beyond recognition."

Huo Qubing pursed his lips and said, "My uncle is really willing to give up. I thought my uncle's house was luxurious enough, but when I saw your house, I suddenly felt that my uncle treats you better than he treats my uncle."

Wei Ning was actually shocked.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was too kind to himself.

Although he did not make himself a marquis, but only granted him the title of chief concubine, the treatment that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave to Yu Weining was already higher than that of a marquis.

"The gap between people is so huge!"

Huo Qubing said: "I regret that I bought you so much furniture!"

Wei Ning smiled.

He knew that Huo Qubing was usually so optimistic and cheerful. Although there was a hint of sourness in his words, he was sincerely happy for his little brother.

After all, how could he not be happy for Weining when he was valued by the emperor?

Wei Ning asked Huo Qubing, "By the way, have you found your third aunt recently?"

"I've been a little busy recently and haven't had time to help you find it yet."

In fact, Weining didn't have a clue at first, and he didn't have any connections to find Huo Qubing's Sanniang.

But he had planned that after everything was settled in Chang'an, he would start building the post station system.

Once the post system is rolled out in Guanzhong, he will have more and more informants. It will be much easier to use the bottom contacts of the post to find people.

"Don't worry, wait for me for a while and I'll have an idea."

Huo Qubing hummed and said, "Okay, don't worry, I've been waiting for more than ten years, so I'm not in a hurry to get it done overnight."

Weining nodded, and while the two were chatting, Zhao Ce came over.

Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao and other military generals also gave many luxurious furniture, covering almost all the furniture needs of the mansion. In addition, there were also some ceramics, such as pots, gourds, cans, tripods, boxes, bells and donuts.

It is worth mentioning that in the early and middle Western Han Dynasty, the smelting technology of porcelain was not very developed, and the smelted ceramics were mostly sauce yellow, sauce brown and dark brown.

Most of them are imitation bronze ritual vessels.

Wei Ning was a little suspicious. He could understand the gifts sent by Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao, but it was a little difficult for him to understand the gifts sent by Gongsun He, Zhang Cigong and others.

Wei Ning is not very familiar with these people, and he has no romantic feelings.Huo Qubing said carelessly: "Hi! What's so strange about this?"

"It's enough that you and my uncle are familiar with each other. This is how human society is. They know that my uncle is interested in you, and they are taking advantage of your move to establish a relationship with you."

"We are all new dignitaries. Naturally, we need to be more active and active in our relationships. Are you looking at the descendants of the founding dignitaries? Do they send anything?"

Huo Qubing solved Weining's doubts very well, but his explanation was a little crooked.

These people gave gifts to Wei Ning, which naturally showed a sense of friendship. It also hinted that they, Wei Qing and you, Wei Ning, were all in the same boat.

They are all supporting you, Wei Ning.

Wei Qing strode toward the Huxin Pavilion with his hands behind his back.

Wei Ning walked over to greet Wei Qing: "General, why are you here?"

Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, looked at Wei Ning, and said with a straight face, "What are you talking about?"

"You should also know the etiquette in small things, and be cautious in your words and deeds everywhere."

As Wei Ning's elder and uncle, Wei Qing hopes that Wei Ning will become a dragon. He doesn't mind that Wei Ning talks to him so freely, and even likes that Wei Ning is so private.

But this child is destined to be no ordinary mortal, so he should pay more attention to his words and deeds.

You can tell yourself your wrong words and deeds, but what if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said too much?It will inevitably arouse His Majesty's resentment.

Of course, what Wei Qing didn't know was that Wei Ning was even more unscrupulous in talking to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Wei Ning snorted, as if he had been taught something, and said, "I understand, General, that's not what I meant..."

Wei Qing pressed his hands and said, "I know, I don't blame you."

"The Chinese New Year is in a few days. Come to my house to celebrate the Chinese New Year this year."

Wei Ning refused: "There are a lot of people here, but I'm not alone."

Wei Qing said: "My mother asked me to invite you over. I am old and I like a young child like you. Don't refuse the old man's wishes."

Wei Ning thought for a moment and said, "Okay then."

Wei Qing hummed and then said with a straight face: "Put your clothes on time. Your silk is not good. I will ask my mother to make one for you."

Wei Ning: "..."

Why does it feel like Wei Qing has some thoughts of his old father?

Wei Ning said awkwardly: "Okay."

Wei Qing nodded with satisfaction, but did not continue to stay here. After explaining the good things, he left with his hands behind his back. Huo Qubing also left, not to bother Wei Ning any more.

It's snowing late.

After Weining had dinner, he went to the study.

The study room is very large, and the books inside are piled up in a messy manner.

He bought these books at Lantian Market. After he was granted the title of Grand Concubine, he spent a large amount of money to purchase books. Most of the money that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had previously rewarded him was used to purchase books.

He has never given up on learning. He didn't have the opportunity before, but now he has the opportunity, and he shouldn't give up on improving his knowledge and knowledge.

It’s just that the big man’s books were too expensive and he spent a lot of money.

When he came from Lantian, he brought nothing but all the books on horses.

Weining did not let the maid in the house clean it for him, and all the books were piled up in the study.

Under the bright light, Wei Ning carefully placed the books on the sandalwood cabinet one by one.

The door was pushed open. Wei Ning turned around in confusion and saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty walking in with his hands behind his back. He subconsciously said, "Your Majesty, why... um, I'll see you, Your Majesty."

After being educated by Wei Qing in the afternoon, Wei Ning restrained himself this time and politely greeted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
