Soldiers come to the world

After the ceremony of entering the city, the Han army withdrew from the west city of Chang'an and returned to the barracks. Although the crowd dispersed in Chang'an City, the enthusiasm remained. All the restaurants in Chang'an City were full.

Liu Jing also returned to her own mansion after entering the city. Xiao Qiao went back to the mansion last night to rest because she was feeling ill. Liu Jing's current mansion is still the former temporary residence. The mansion is not big, and the conditions are not as good as compared with Chengdu. Slightly crude.

After the Han Dynasty officially moved its capital to Chang'an, the Han Palace will be moved to the Dajia Palace in Beicheng. It was originally the Western Capital Palace built by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. The emperors of all dynasties will allocate money and food to repair and maintain it. Although it was destroyed by Li Cui's army in the end, it is still Some of them are well preserved. A few years ago, when Liu Jing marched north to Longxi, Cao Cao was stationed in Chang'an. Zhong Yao, the captain of Sili, rebuilt the Dajia Palace and became Cao Cao's temporary residence in Chang'an.

In the back hall of the mansion, Tao Zhan was chatting with his stepmother Su Shi. After Tao Zhan's biological mother passed away in Chaisang, his father Tao Sheng married the widow sister of Su Fei, a prominent family in Wuchang, as his second wife two years later. Although Tao Zhan did not object to his father Continuation, but she was not happy in her heart, his father had many concubines, why did he have to marry another wife?

The antipathy in Tao Zhan's heart was manifested in his indifference to his stepmother. One year after his father Tao Sheng got married, Tao Zhan still refused to see his stepmother until the Su family gave birth to a son for Tao Sheng, named Tao Lin. In the face of the younger brother, he reluctantly reconciled with his stepmother, Su Shi, but still seldom see each other.

As Tao Zhan grew older and matured, the relationship between her and her stepmother gradually became harmonious, and they could see each other often, especially Su, as the new mistress of the Tao family, had strict control over the Tao family.

A year ago, several family members of the Tao family drank in a restaurant in Chengdu, uttered rude words, injured the shopkeeper, and set fire to the restaurant. Only because of Tao Zhan's affection for the Su family, she officially accepted the stepmother.

Tao Zhan invited Mrs. Su here today because he had something to discuss with her. The reason was Qiao Xuan’s house. The family wanted to rebuild the house, so Qiao Xuan had to move out.

In fact, this incident was not accidental. The victory of the Han army against the Xiongnu meant that the move of the capital of the Han Dynasty to Chang’an was a foregone conclusion. The land price in Chang’an immediately skyrocketed. Hard to find.

A large number of aristocratic families from Jingzhou, Bashu, and even the Central Plains came to Chang'an to buy land and houses. In order to make a fortune, some small and medium-sized families sold their houses at high prices and went to nearby counties to buy houses at low prices, earning a huge difference in price. In this context, the house Qiao Xuan lived in was sold to the Zhang family in Taiyuan at a high price.

The biggest beneficiary of this is the Tao family. Tao Sheng has a keen business mind. When the Han army was preparing to conquer Longxi, he realized that Chang'an would become Liu Jing's final capital in the future.

At that time, people in Chang'an were panic-stricken, and many people sold their properties at low prices. Tao Sheng took the opportunity to buy a large amount of land at a low price. In Chang'an City, he still owns thousands of acres of land and made a fortune.

Tao Zhan approached the Su family to discuss, because he wanted to buy two good houses from the Tao family, one for Bao Niang's uncle, who was the only relative of Bao Niang, as a reward for Bao Niang giving birth to a son, and the other for Bao Niang. It was for Qiao Xuan, as the residence of the Qiao family.

Su smiled and said: "Is it not easy for the princess to want two mansions? I just ask the master to arrange it, but they are all from my own family. Why use "buy" characters, instead of alienating the family."

Tao Zhan shook his head, "Brothers have to settle accounts! Besides, I'm buying a house from the Tao family in the name of the housewife of the Liu family. I didn't want to trouble the Tao family at first, but the two houses I fancy are both It belongs to the Tao family, so Madam was invited to discuss it, besides, with the property of the Liu family, it is not too much effort to buy two mansions, Madam don't need to be polite to me."

Mrs. Su knew Tao Zhan's temper, so she had to smile wryly and said, "I wonder which two mansions the princess has taken a fancy to?"

"One is the famous Guhuai Mansion on Zhengyang Street in the south of the city, covering an area of ​​about ten mu, and the other is located in Longwang Lane in the west of the city, covering an area of ​​about eight mu. Both mansions are near the river and are currently closed. , according to the market price, the Linhe mansion is 30 taels of gold per mu, and I will pay as much as I want, and I just hope to transfer the ownership as soon as possible."

Su had no choice but to nod her head in agreement, but she had some calculations in her heart. She could still buy furniture and decorate the mansion. In short, the Tao family must not enter the account of the house money. .

"Okay! When the master comes back from Chengdu, the transfer will be completed immediately, and it will be completed in ten days at the latest." In fact, the land deed is in Su's hands, and she can transfer the ownership at any time, but she needs ten days to renovate the house.

Tao Zhan nodded, "That's a deal."

At this moment, a maid rushed to the hall and said loudly: "Madam, the lord has returned home!"

Tao Zhan was overjoyed immediately, and immediately stood up and said, "His Royal Highness has returned to the residence, and I have to go to greet him, excuse me first."

"I won't disturb your family reunion, I'll leave first."

The Su family left through the side door, while Tao Zhan walked quickly towards the outer house, just in time to meet Liu Jing entering the mansion, and he had not seen her husband for several months, Tao Zhan felt hot and went up to him, "My husband is back! "

When Liu Jing returned home, his mind, which had been tense for several months, suddenly relaxed, and he felt an indescribable exhaustion all over his body. But when he saw his wife, he felt a kind of affection for a long-lost reunion, and he stepped forward to hold Tao Zhan tightly. Hugging in his arms, the large group of maids behind were stunned. They had never seen the prince and the princess so intimately, and everyone fell silent.

Tao Zhan's face turned red slightly, she felt her husband's deep affection for her, and she was also very moved, but in front of so many maids and maids, she felt a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Husband, everyone is here Look at us!"

Liu Jing laughed, let go of his wife, and saw Sun Shangxiang again, she was standing aside, looking at him with a half-smile, Liu Jing stretched out his arm to her, Sun Shangxiang walked forward slowly, although he was a little embarrassed, But he still let Liu Jing hug her tightly in his arms.

"Okay, okay, you should hug your son, we old arms and legs don't have to be so courteous."

Hearing what she said was funny, Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, and everyone immediately became lively again, "Daddy!" The eldest daughter Liu Zhu rushed over. She was already six years old, and she was still so round and cute.

Liu Jing liked her the most, picked her up, kissed her heavily on the cheek, and smiled lovingly: "My little pig has grown into a big pig."

"Daddy, go and see your little brother! He looks similar to Zhu'er." Liu Zhu whispered in Liu Jing's ear.

"Of course Daddy wants to see him."

At this time, the eldest son Liu Zhi knelt down and saluted his father, "my son pays homage to his father!"

Liu Jing quickly pulled him up and said with a smile: "There is no need to kneel down here, get up quickly!"

Liu Zhi is the eldest son of Liu Jing, and the eldest son Liu Jing has already established. In the future, he will inherit his father's career and shoulder the important task of bringing the Han Dynasty back to prosperity.

So Liu Jing had very strict requirements on him, and even Tao Zhan changed Liu Zhi's master without discussing with him first, which almost caused the husband and wife to turn against each other.

But it is also this relatively harsh requirement that makes the father-son relationship between Liu Jing and the eldest son a little weak, at least not as close as Liu Zhu and his father.

At this time, the two-year-old Liu Long and Liu Chan were also carried by the nanny to welcome their father, and Liu Jing made out with them one by one, and then they were welcomed into the back hall by the family like stars holding the moon.

In the back hall, the family gathered together, and Xiao Qiao, who was sick, also came to the back hall to welcome Liu Jing home. At this time, Liu Jing finally saw Da Qiao. She was sitting at the end, with plain clothes and no makeup. There is not a piece of jewelry on it.

She just sat there quietly, with a faint smile on her face. The years did not leave any traces of vicissitudes on her face, but added a mature and calm charm, even the eyes of her and Liu Jing When they touched each other, her eyes were still calm, as quiet as a deep pool.

Liu Jing sighed secretly in his heart, the passion between him and Da Qiao was just a coincidence, I am afraid it will be difficult to relive the old dream in the future.

The eyes of Liu Jing and Da Qiao met, and only for a short moment, Liu Jing's eyes moved away. It was difficult for people around to see any clues. In fact, in the whole mansion, except for Xiao Qiao who was slightly suspicious of their relationship, everyone else Are at a loss.

Tao Zhan said with a smile: "Da Qiao came here in September, and it has been almost two months. We all get along very well, but she is determined to move back to Qiao's residence. No matter how much I, Monk Xiang, persuade her, it is useless. My husband will also help her." We persuade her."

Liu Jing nodded slightly to Da Qiao, and asked with a smile: "Is Madam not used to living in my residence?"

Da Qiao smiled lightly, "No! The princess is very kind to me, as close as a family member, and I can't thank you enough."

"Then why do you want to move away? In fact, if you live with everyone, you can also take care of each other. There are so many lovely children, so you won't feel lonely. Ma'am, stay here!" Big Joe.

Da Qiao's long eyelashes drooped down. After a long time, she still shook her head slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, but my father is old and needs someone to take care of him. It's better for me to move to my father's side. I will come when I have time."

Liu Jing couldn't force her, so he could only sigh in his heart, "If that's the case, then don't force Madam."

At this time, Bao Niang came out holding her full moon son, everyone's attention was immediately diverted by this cute little guy, the back hall suddenly became lively, but Da Qiao quietly got up and left the back hall, her things It has been packed, just to take a look at Liu Jing, now that her wish has been fulfilled, she can leave.

Only Liu Jing noticed her getting up, and he watched her back from the corner of his eye, seeing that she left without looking back, his heart was suddenly stung.

"Master, this is your child."

Bao Niang handed her son to Liu Jing, she was very excited, his dream wish finally came true, she had her own son, she hoped that her husband would love this son as much as his daughter.

Liu Jing suppressed the pain in his heart, pulled back his thoughts, took his son, looked at the cute, fat and round face in the swaddling baby, his sadness caused by Da Qiao's departure was also temporarily forgotten, Liu Jing smiled and said : "This is another little bun, I like it!"

Everyone laughed, and the little Bao Niang blushed and whispered: "The eldest sister gave him the baby name Polu, because he was born just when the Han army defeated the Xiongnu, and he has no official name yet."

Liu Jing nodded to his wife Tao Zhan and said: "This baby name princess is very good. Long'er was born when I recovered Longxi, and Polu was born when I restored Yongzhou. The official name is Liu Yong."
