Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

To put it bluntly, he was the backbone of the eunuch forces in Luoyang Palace.

And the person who came today, if it is true, can be regarded as an old acquaintance of his.

If Zhang Yan did not admit his mistake, this person is a celebrity under his adoptive father Zhang Rang. As early as when he was building a sundial in the north of Luoyang City, the other party had served as an envoy and sent a lot of money to the original construction site. Money and silver, this supported Wei Xian to build the spectacle smoothly during the period when he went out to Hedong and Taiyuan to fight against the Yellow Turban.

Later, during the sacrificial ceremony, the other party also followed Zhang Rang's side all the time, and had many face-to-face encounters with Zhang Yan.

Even now in Zhang Yan's bedroom, there is still an extremely gorgeous wooden dressing table, which was a congratulatory gift given to him by the other party at the banquet after the wedding when he got married in Luoyang.

According to Zhang Rang, this is a gift from a favored concubine in the harem. It is made of camphor wood and painted with high-quality red paint. It is almost a tribute-level treasure. There is no way to do it in the ordinary market. If you buy it with money, there is nothing wrong with saying that there is a price but no market.

He didn't know whether the other party was trying to curry favor with him or what, so he transferred the things that the concubine of the harem bestowed to the other party to himself who had just married.

However, judging from his wife Qiaoying's fondness for the dressing table, Zhang Yan still accepted the friendship of the other party, and his attitude towards the other party was very good, without any trace of domineering.

Smiling and bowing back to the other party, Zhang Yan never expected that the nobleman mentioned by his servants before was referring to this young palace attendant, and he didn't know that the other party came here at this time, and he had something to do. find yourself.

It is still in 188 AD, which is the end of the fifth year of Zhongping, and it is one of the few peaceful times in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

All the forces have already seen the turbulent waves under the cover of the big man's calmness, so they are busy increasing their strength, and nothing too important happened.

……

In this year, Taichang Liu Yan said to his good nephew Liu Hong that "the side that abolishes history and establishes animal husbandry can be stable", so he took the lead in abandoning the rotten officialdom of the big man. He ran to Yizhou, the land of abundance, where the emperor was far away, and became his emperor.

……

It was also this year that Liu Yu, the eternal good friend of the Hu people and Gongsun Zan's lifelong enemy, set off from Luoyang to go north to Youzhou to serve as the shepherd of Youzhou, and began to drag each other's legs with Gongsun Zan.

……

Even just a few days before the completion of the big library, Liu Biao, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, couldn't stand He Jin's self-willedness, and began to think about how to pave the way for his future.

……

According to Zhang Yan's knowledge of this era in his previous life, there was actually no major conflict at the end of 188 AD, so he didn't quite know what the other party meant by coming to him at this time.

To put it in an exaggeration, he just heard what the servant said about his young age and noble appearance, and he thought it was Yuan Shu, a flirt, out of his mind or something, who actually came to Lujiang to visit him.

But then again, Zhang Yan is not a fool. Since he came from the Yellow Gate in the palace, it depends on the identity and status of the other party. Because his adoptive father Zhang Rang had some news over there.

I just don't know if the news is mostly good or bad.

Smilingly, he invited the other party in from outside the door. Zhang Yan waved his hand first and signaled his servants to prepare tea and snacks to entertain the other party. Inside the tea room.

Unlike the Wancheng government office that had been borrowed from Kuai Qi before, after Zhang Yan's manpower gradually became abundant, the Wanguohou's Mansion was built by everyone, and it was located in the wasteland in the south of Wancheng. It is now the core of the new urban area.

Although the surrounding living facilities are not complete here, it is better than a spacious place, which is convenient for him to toss about.

More importantly, the future of this place is the Wancheng City he planned... No, it should be said that it is the core area of ​​Lujiang, so some troubles are only temporary. When the roads become wider and smoother, and some markets are enriched, this place will quickly It replaced the original Wancheng and became the No. 001 location of Lujiang.

Until now, after his mansion was built, Zhang Yan hadn't been to the government office in Beicheng District for a long time. No matter the environment or the service of the servants at home, this place is much more convenient than the government office.

More importantly, without the delay of commuting to and from work every day, Zhang Yan, who "works from home", can now squeeze out more time to spend with his family or do something more meaningful.

For example, taking advantage of the cold weather in winter, it is such a big thing to sleep a little longer in the morning.

Chapter 64 Snow Cherry

No matter how critically one looks at it, the Marquis Mansion of the Kingdom of Wan, built almost in tandem with the Great Library, is very gorgeous.

This is the brainchild of countless craftsmen throughout Lujiang, and it is a blueprint directly provided by the system. Therefore, no matter the workmanship or scale, it can undoubtedly support the two big characters "rich" on the blueprint.

Although the entire Anhui Marquis Mansion does not have the attribute bonus of wonders, it covers an astonishing area of ​​more than 600 square meters, which is nearly [-] acres of small acres in the Han Dynasty. Compared with the large libraries of the same period and a sundial occupy a lot more space.

Even compared with the residences of those Lujiang families, such as the building complex that Zhang Yan jokingly called "Qiao Family Courtyard", the Mansion of the Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan is not inferior.

And such an area is almost the limit required by the big and small families of the whole big man, and it is even enough to support hundreds or even hundreds of people living in this building complex.

At this moment, the envoy from Luoyang entered the mansion under the leadership of Zhang Yan, and was immediately amazed by the exquisiteness like a royal garden, and even faintly felt that the layout of the plants and trees was extremely particular , It is not inferior to Luoyang West Garden, which he has visited many times.

The courtyards of this house are layered on top of each other, and are dotted with a lot of cherry blossom trees. Even though it is not yet the junction of spring and summer, he, who has been a eunuch since he was a child, can naturally imagine that this kind of royal family of the Han Dynasty What kind of gorgeous scenery will the special ornamental flowers and trees in the garden show when they are opened on a large scale.

Speaking of it, this thing was first discovered by a certain governor of Yizhou in the [-] mountains in the southwest of Yizhou, and then it was given to the imperial city as a tribute.

In the next few hundred years, cherry blossoms have always been the exclusive flowers and trees of the royal palace of the Han Dynasty. Not to mention ordinary people, even some Sangong families and princely bodies are unlikely to be eligible to enjoy such treatment.

But after thinking about it, the other party's background is not small, and he is so close to his immediate boss "Chang Shi", and there are some "tributes" from the royal family in that family, so it is not too difficult.

……

"Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, your mansion is beautiful. If my guess is correct, then the snow cherry trees planted in the courtyard are all the snow cherry trees of my Luoyang imperial court?"

"Tsk tsk, this is green bricks and green tiles, surrounded by pools of water, and green trees. I don't know how much money it will cost to buy such a mansion..."

……

Some enviously said to Zhang Yan who was leading the way, the yellow gate looked left and right, it didn't look like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden, but rather like an employee of a sales office in a third-tier small town who just arrived in a big city Finally, I sighed at the "**Golf" and "Lakeside Four Seasons" which are very familiar with their uses but extremely unfamiliar in price.

He goes in and out of the palace on weekdays, and he has seen these things in Zhang Yan's mansion, but they are all the things of the emperor, which are obviously very different from the one in front of him.

Looking at the layers of vegetation and rockery not far away, Huangmen didn't know what he thought of, so he inevitably said something like this.

On the contrary, Zhang Yan was leading the way ahead, but when he heard the words from the man behind him, his face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed.

……

"Ah, you said that cherry tree... yes, it's from Luoyang... ahem."

"It's Xueying, but it's not a tribute from the Luoyang Imperial City. I asked someone to buy it from Yizhou. It's the same style as the one in our Luoyang West Garden."

"You also know that I was born as a general in the Xiyuan Army, so I have seen the scenery of snow cherry blossoms in full bloom many times, so I remembered it and planted some in my home. come out……"

Blushing and scratching his head, although Zhang Yan had indeed served as a partial general in Xiyuan, as long as the other party was a little familiar with him, he could find that Zhang Yan was just talking nonsense and fooling the other party.

He did serve as a partial general, but his entire career as a partial general did not last more than half a year, and he only entered the West Garden two or three times, and he never saw any cherry blossom trees.

Besides, it was March and April in the fifth year of Zhongping, and the cherry blossoms in the north hadn't bloomed at all, and all he saw were some bare branches.

I said earlier that I planted the same type of cherry tree in my mansion because I like the snow cherry trees in the West Garden. Is it because these snow cherry trees are tributes from Luoyang? of!

The reason why Zhang Yan chose this kind of snow cherry tree as the decorative flowers and trees in his mansion is because Zhang Yan took a fancy to the characteristics of this kind of tree that blooms first and then grows leaves. The appearance of the green leaf is quite beautiful in the game, so I want to experience it in real life when conditions permit.

It seemed that the other party just said it casually, but how could he know that Zhang Yan's little trick was right in his mouth.

But fortunately, although Xiao Huangmen and him are familiar, they are not as familiar as Eryuan and Cao, so I don't know if the other party didn't realize that Zhang Yan was talking nonsense, or that he did not. There was no dismantling the stage, in short, he followed Zhang Yan and walked into the house like this.

……

"Hehe, you don't have to think too much, it's just a house. If you like it, I can make the decision and send you a house here in Lujiang."

"In this way, when you are old and tired from working in the palace, you can also bid farewell to His Majesty and spend your life in our Lujiang River, so that you won't even have a place to stay after you leave the palace."

"Perhaps other houses nearby are not as big as my Mansion of the Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, but when it comes to this style, they are all about the same size, and they look about the same."

……

Turning around with a smile, Zhang Yan said something to the little yellow door. Zhang Yan didn't bother with this matter any more, but seeing the other party's envious look, he simply agreed to give the other party a house directly. A return gift for showing kindness to yourself.

Although the value of this house far exceeds what the other party gave him, but no matter what the other party said, he is still a person seeking life in the palace. If Zhang Yan can make friends with the other party, with this one more friend, he will be able to do so in Lujiang in the future. From time to time, some news came out from Luoyang.

For example, Zhang Yan will be extremely concerned about the physical condition of Han Tianzi Liu Hong in the future.

Besides, even though the house looks very luxurious, it was he who directly ordered people to build and produce it.

The gap between the production cost and the sales price can't be said to be a huge difference, but it can also be regarded as a world of difference.

Chapter 65 Don't Matter

"Ah... this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it?"

"It's just too expensive."

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, Huang Menlang bowed to the other party with some embarrassment, and then politely declined Zhang Yan's kindness.

He didn't expect that this young man who was not very prominent in Luoyang would be so generous that he would give this kind of priceless thing to himself without even thinking about it.

On the contrary, in front of him, Zhang Yan, who knew the real value of this house, waved his hand with a smile, and didn't pay too much attention to this "thing outside him".

……

"Hehe, the value or something... You can only know it by comparing."

"The construction cost of this Hou's mansion is quite high. Even with my family background, it is difficult to build another exactly the same courtyard in a short period of time, so don't think too much about it. I said that what I gave it to you must be better than this Hou's mansion." It's a little worse."

"It's just that although the place is not as big as this place, it is enough for you to live normally, and the scenery inside will not be much worse than my mansion."

……

Smiling and explaining to the Huangmen, the other party was a little relieved after hearing what Zhang Yan said, and then he started to think about the house he was talking about again.

Even though he has been in the palace for a long time, he can be regarded as a person with a small fortune, but as a heavenly disabled person, this is the first time that the small yellow gate of a lonely family has raised the idea of ​​​​settling somewhere. I never thought about going out of the palace or anything like that.

A pair of nimble eyes looked around for various details in Zhang Yan's mansion. Huangmen inevitably compared Zhang Yan's mansion with Luoyang's palace in his heart, and began to imagine that if he lived in such a courtyard, he would look like an emperor. What a different life it will be if you enjoy the service of others, instead of serving others as you do now.

……

"Uh, Marquis of Wan, is what you said true?"

"Even if the area is a little smaller, the real estate land is still a big thing, so it should be very expensive."

"I'm afraid it will cost more than a million dollars?"

……

The short silence passed quickly, and the little yellow gate finally couldn't hold back his inner desire, and asked Zhang Yan eagerly in front of him who was leading the way.

At the same time, he even quickened his pace, from following behind each other to walking side by side, and even his attitude was much better than before.

Seeing his appearance, how could Zhang Yan not know what this person was thinking, and immediately smiled and patted the other person's shoulder, making a look of "just let me do it".

……

"No, no, it's not that exaggerated. This courtyard is not as expensive as millions of dollars."

"I think you have stayed in Luoyang for a long time, and you don't know the value of things like houses and land outside. Luoyang, the imperial capital, has a population of millions, and every inch of land is expensive, and it is comparable to remote places like Jiangdong."

"If I remember correctly, an acre of land in Luoyang costs about ten thousand yuan, and even an acre of mediocre land is worth seven or eight hundred yuan. But in this Lujiang River, or even in the whole of Yangzhou, the land is almost the cheapest. A worthless thing."

"As far as the homestead under our feet is concerned, the market value of one mu of land is at most one or two thousand yuan."

……

Smiling softly to comfort the other party, Zhang Yan's words were naturally exaggerated.
