The marriage of Cao and Liu was very lively in Wei State, and the situation was spectacular, but it was also lively in Chang'an. When the wedding carriage drove into the city, it caused a sensation in the city, and more than [-] people welcomed Cao's daughter on both sides of the street.

Although the whole wedding ceremony was very grand and lively, the wedding ceremony was simple and plain, without extravagant pomp and banquet, and the congratulatory gifts from all the officials were declined.

Amidst the sound of drums and music, Cao Xian was married into the Palace of the King of Han, and married Liu Jing. Some important officials were invited to watch the ceremony. The whole wedding ceremony was simple and lively.

In the marriages of the Han Dynasty, most high-ranking officials and princes had wives and concubines in groups. Except for the main wife, not every woman had the same status. Generally speaking, Ping was a wife, and Ben was a concubine. , Those who have a wedding ceremony are called wives, while concubines enter the house quietly without any ceremony.

But for high-ranking officials and princes, many people also have a grand ceremony to marry a concubine. For example, Dong Zhuo married Huangfugui's widow. The scale was grand and the wedding was a sensation in Luoyang.

Therefore, there are differences between concubines and concubines. The officials who made the etiquette divided the concubines into a class with more status, called concubines. Except for regular wives, those who married were concubines, and those who were married were concubines.

Before Liu Jing was named King of Han, Sun Shangxiang was concubine, and Xiao Baoniang was concubine, but Liu Jing was named King of Han, and her appearance was the same as the East Palace, so Liu Jing's wives and concubines were different from ordinary people.

According to the Han system, only Tao Zhan can be called the princess, and the other concubines can only be called Liangdi and Ru. But in fact, everyone in the Han Dynasty called Sun Shangxiang the second concubine. Xian is also the second concubine.

But Cao Cao still thought it was not formal enough, so he asked the world to list the second concubine as an internal official, with a rank ratio of two thousand stones, and canonized his daughters Cao Xian and Sun Shangxiang as the second concubines of the King of Han, and Qiao and Bao as Liangdi. Xian's status is higher than that of Sun Shangxiang, as the second concubine of the left, and Sun Shangxiang is the second concubine of the right. This is also Cao Cao's good intentions.

However, these official statuses are not considered in the palace of the King of Han. The Palace of the King of Han has its own rules. According to the seating order at dinner, Tao Zhan is the first, Sun Shangxiang is second, Cao Xian is the third, and Xiao Qiao is the fourth. Bao Niang is the fifth.

As for the children, except for Shi Liuzhi who must sit in the first place, the rest of the children can sit freely, there is no deliberate order.

This was a consensus within the Han Palace. Sun Shangxiang was indeed one level higher than Cao Xian. Of course, Cao Xian would not have any dissatisfaction. She not only respected Tao Zhan, but also the other sisters, calling them sisters.

Cao Xian's cleverness and cuteness also won the love of everyone, and they soon got along well.

Cao Xian especially has a very good relationship with Sun Shangxiang. The Mingyue Tower where she lives is relatively close to Wanghu Pavilion where Sun Shangxiang lives. There are only a few dozen steps between them, and they communicate every day.

Fast forward to the end of the month, and Cao Xian has been married into the Han Palace for almost 20 days. She has gradually become familiar with the people in the mansion, but Chang'an is very hot in summer, much hotter than Yedu, which makes her a little uncomfortable with the weather in Chang'an.

Fortunately, there is an ice cellar in the house. Ice cubes were placed in the walls of the small building where she lived, which made the room much cooler. Cao Xian refused to go downstairs and stayed in the room most of the time.

This morning, the scorching sun hung in the sky, the weather was extremely hot, and I felt sweaty every time I moved. Cao Xian stayed in his living room as usual, reading a book by the window, holding a round fan in his hand, gently Gently fan the wind.

As a wife for the first time, Cao Xian was deeply favored by her husband. Her short marriage made her satisfied with her married life. The initial uneasiness and worries gradually disappeared. She can accept the unification of the world.

As the married life is gradually on the right track, the husband can't just accompany her every night, just like Bao Niang is obsessed with food, Xiao Qiao is obsessed with music, Shang Xiang loves to collect weapons, and the mistress Tao Zhan has to manage the entire mansion. Everyone has their own things, Cao Xian also began to find his own interests and hobbies.

Cao Xian loves reading very much, and has collected two whole rooms of bamboo slips and scroll books. Most of the more than 100 large boxes she bought as a dowry are her books, which are just books she often reads.

Fortunately, there were enough vacant rooms in Mingyue Building, and she had already written home asking her father to bring all her books.

At this time, the maid outside the door smiled and said, "Second Madam is here!"

This is Shang Xiang, Cao Xian quickly put down the book and came out to greet her, just in time to meet Sun Shangxiang walking in, she quickly smiled and took Sun Shangxiang's arm, "How can the second sister go out in such a hot day?"

"I'm different from you. I can't stay in the room. It's like you lived in a carriage for several days and nights when you came to Chang'an. If it were me, I would have been driven crazy."

Sun Shangxiang took out a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, looked Cao Xian over again, and said with a smile, "You are more beautiful and delicate than when you first came here. It seems that person has nourished you well."

Cao Xian would never make such a blunt joke, she blushed immediately with shame, pinched Sun Shangxiang's hand, and said embarrassedly: "What nonsense is Second Sister talking about?"

Sun Shangxiang sat down and smiled again: "When I first married her, I was just as shy as you. After waiting for a long time, my skin became thicker, and you will be the same in the future."

Cao Xian sat down opposite Sun Shangxiang, and asked in a low voice: "I wrote to my father, he won't be angry, right?"

"No! He doesn't care about these things, as long as you don't talk about state affairs, it doesn't matter if you write a hundred letters a day."

Cao Xian nodded, and said quietly: "I always thought that my political marriage was destined to be a tragedy, but after I got married, I found that it was quite different from what I thought. I can only say that I used to think too naively. "

Sun Shangxiang took her hand and sighed: "You are not naive, in fact, I am the same, I am not a political marriage, but we are very lucky to meet a different husband, he is not Don't care about our natal family, but sincerely treat us as relatives, so that we can get rid of the misfortune of political marriage and have a real marriage, sister Xian, this marriage is hard-won, you and I must learn to cherish it. "

Cao Xian nodded silently, "I understand!"

"Okay, let's not talk about these heavy topics. I'm here today to tell you some good news. Tomorrow we're leaving for the manor to escape the summer heat. You should pack up your things today!"

Cao Xian cried out in surprise, and said anxiously: "But I have so many books, how do I clean them up? And my father will send my books in a few days, what if I'm not here?"

"Don't worry about these things. The housekeeper will send over a dozen large boxes later. You put the things you must bring into the box, and you don't need to bring a few volumes of books. If you want something at that time, let someone come back to pick it up. Anyway, keep it as simple as possible, and they will move it away."

Cao Xian breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How long are we going and where are we going?"

"Less than two months! I just came back before Bailu. I heard that in Yong County, it turned out to be an Huangzhuang, with mountains and water, beautiful scenery, and very cool. I can't wait."

. . . . . . . .

Not long after the Fei family handed over the land, the Han State carried out the first land distribution. Ordinary civilians had Yongye farmland, eighty acres for men and women, and fifty acres for soldiers. Has been practiced for many years.

Naturally, officials and generals should also have their own Yongyetian. For generals, Yongyetian is awarded according to title and military position, while officials are obtained based on official seniority and official position.

Generally speaking, there are five sources of land for officials. One is the ancestral property, which is recognized by the Han Dynasty, but there are also restrictions, that is, it cannot exceed the standard of Yongye Tian, ​​and the excess must be turned over.

The second is Yongyetian. Once this standard is drawn up, it will be fixed, and trading is strictly prohibited. It can be inherited from generation to generation. If the heir dies and there is no designated heir, Yongyetian will be confiscated and returned to the government.

The third source is purchase. The land that can be traded is called production land. Outside Yongye Field, it is usually newly reclaimed land or new land obtained by expanding the territory. For example, the land in Lingzhou and Hexi belongs to production land.

The fourth source is special rewards for their achievements. The land rewards are allocated from official land. Generals like Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, and Pin all received different degrees of rewards.

The fifth source is quite special, that is, the post land. Each official position has a corresponding post land. The output of the land belongs to the officials, which is actually a kind of post subsidy. return.

The land system is very complicated, and here are just a few words. As the king of Han, Liu Jing received [-] hectares of Yongye land and another [-] hectares of land.

Liu Jing's Yongyetian is in Shenyou Mountain, Yongxian County. This place was originally the summer resort of the Western Han Dynasty and the location of the emperor's estate of successive emperors.

One thousand hectares of land occupies a huge area, and the cultivated land only takes up half of it. The other half is an extremely beautiful isolated peak mountain. A jade belt-like clear water flows around the mountain. There are waterfalls, strange rocks and towering trees on the mountain. There is a palace, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, it has long been in disrepair and collapsed.

However, as early as last year, Liu Jing chose this place as his own permanent farmland, and the palace on the mountain was rebuilt. The army was stationed around the foot of the mountain, and there were [-] tenant farmers who were responsible for cultivating nearly [-] hectares of fertile land.

After a day's long journey, Liu Jing, king of the Han Dynasty, brought his family to Tianzhuang in mighty form, escorted by thousands of soldiers.

Liu Jing rode on the horse, pointed to the beautiful mountains and clear waters in the distance, and smiled to his wife and children: "That kind of mountain is called Shenyou Mountain. It is said that a fairy passed by here and dropped a jade pendant from his pocket, which turned into this mountain. The small river under the mountain It is the silk ribbon on the jade pendant."

Everyone was huddled in the window of the car and looked up the mountain. They saw clouds and mist shrouded in the mountainside.

Everyone was amazed together, they didn't expect this mountain to be so beautiful, Tao Zhan exclaimed: "This is really a land of gods!"

Seeing that his family liked it so much, Liu Jing couldn't help feeling complacent, and said with a smile, "This is the land I've been looking for for a long time. Now it's my Yongye Tian, ​​and it's also our other house. I hope everyone likes it."

At this time, Tao Zhan suddenly remembered something, and smiled at Liu Jing: "Da Qiao said that she is not feeling well today and cannot go with us. I will pick her up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
