I, Liu Bian, the hero

Chapter 43
"The festival biography of Nanyang County and Taishan County..."

Under the Middle East Gate of Luoyang, the Marquis of the Gate looked at the festival document in his hand, and compared the appearance depicted in it with the young man in front of him, he read without haste: "Yangqin, a native of the southern city of Mount Tai. , Nanyang prefect Yangxu Zhongzi..."

He looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, and then found out the biography issued by Nanyang County. After confirming that it was correct, he smiled and said: "So he is the son of the prefect of Yang. Do you want to be an official this time, Mr. Yang?"

"Do not."

The young man named Yang Yu shook his head and said: "I haven't finished my studies yet, this time I just accompanied my wife to the capital to visit his sister....Your Majesty, I don't know?"

The Marquis of Men understood, and handed back the festival pass in his hand, also known as Lu Yin in the future, to Yang Qi, and apologized: "I have delayed Mr. Yang."

"Don't dare."

Yang Qin thanked repeatedly, put the festival into her arms, and walked quickly to a carriage not far away.

The person driving the carriage was Yang Yu’s younger brother Yang Dan, who was a few years younger than Yang Yu, and looked only fifteen or six years old. This time he accompanied his second brother and second sister-in-law to Luoyang for the purpose of exchanging Drive the carriage, so that Yang Shen has a chance to rest.

Seeing the return of the second brother, Yang Dan asked: "Second brother, how are you? Can you go to the city?"

Yang Qin nodded and was just talking when suddenly the curtain of the carriage was raised, and a beautiful young woman poked her head out and asked, "Husband?"

Looking at the appearance of this woman, she is six to seven points similar to Cai Yan, but she is a few years older. She is Cai Yong's eldest daughter and Cai Yan's sister Cai Zhenji, who married Yu Yangqin a few years ago and became her step-wife.

"nothing."

Yang Qin said: "The Marquis knew that my father was serving as the prefect in Nanyang, so he said a few more words to me, and there was a slight delay. You can enter the city."

After finishing speaking, he sat next to his younger brother, and his younger brother Yang Dan also slowly drove the carriage into the city.

When passing through the city gate, the famous gatekeeper bowed his hands to Yangqin with a smile, and Yangqin returned the salute by bowing his hands.

Entering the city from the Middle East Gate is the east city of Luoyang. Although the high-ranking officials and nobles living there are no more than those living in the north, it is more prosperous and lively than the north city. Yang Dan was amazed, and even Yang Qin couldn't help feeling that the prosperity of Luoyang was far from comparable to that of his hometown, Taishan South City.

Half an hour later, under the guidance of passers-by, the Yangchen couple and their uncle Yangdan took a carriage to the posthouse in the city to settle down.

After freshening up and changing clothes, Yang Qin planned to follow his father Yang Xu's instructions to visit Yang Biao, a doctor in the Taizhong. , Naturally, he also has friendship with Yang Biao.

Of course, in fact, Yang Xu, as a "party member" implicated in the second party imprisonment, he has many acquaintances in the court, such as Lu Zhi, Zheng Tai, Yuan Kui, Ma Rixun, etc., he basically has Friendship, but not as deep as friendship with Yang Biao.

But even if the friendship is deep, this time Yang Xu is actually not sure whether Yang Biao is willing to help.

After some discussion, the three of them took a carriage to Yang Biao's house again without taking a break.

It was in the afternoon at this time, and there was still more than an hour before dusk. Yang Biao was still studying in Dongguan, and he was not at the mansion. Fortunately, all the servants in Yang Biao's mansion knew about Yangxu, and they heard that Yangqi and Yangdan were sheep. The son continued, and after asking the mistress for instructions, the three of them were invited in.

The mistress is the daughter of the late former Situ Yuan An, and the sister of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. She gave birth to a son named Yang Xiu for Yang Biao, who is now 12 years old.

In view of the fact that he was not easy to accompany, Yang Yuan invited Cai Zhenji to the side room, and asked his son Yang Xiu to accompany the Yang brothers to show their closeness.

Yang Xiu was born intelligent, and he studied literature since he was a child. Having him accompany Yang Ling and Yang Dan brothers will not make you angry and dull.

After waiting around dusk, Yang Biao came back from the palace. He probably heard about Yangqin and the others when he entered the mansion. When he stepped into the house, he smiled and called out: "The doorman told me that the son of an old man came to visit. I didn't know who it was, it turned out to be two good nephews."

"Shibo."

Yangqin and Yangdan stood up to salute, and Yang Xiu also stood up and called his father.

Yang Biao is forty and five years old this year, but there is only Yang Xiu, his only son. Naturally, he loves him dearly. When Yang Xiu approached, he touched his son's head with a smile, and immediately called the Yang brothers to sit down, and asked with a smile. He said: "As far as I know, the two nephews have studied hard in their hometown, how come they came to Luoyang?"

As soon as the words fell, Yang Yuanshi also led Cai Zhenji out to meet Yang Biao. When he saw Cai Zhenji who looked similar to Cai Yan, Yang Biao was slightly startled, and soon after he guessed something, he put away his smile and told Yang Yuanshi: "Madam , you and Xiu'er are temporarily stepping back, I have something to discuss with my two virtuous nephews."

Seeing her husband's serious attitude, Mrs. Yang did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly retreated with her son Yang Xiu.

Seeing this, Yang Biao greeted Cai Zhenji to take a seat, and then showed a thoughtful look.

Seeing his expression, Yang Qin seemed to realize something, and clasped his hands respectfully and said the reason: "Shibo, a month ago, Yuezhang went to Mount Tai, saying that he had been exonerated by the court, and he also said that his second daughter, Zhaoji, wanted to come here." Luo Yang visited her daughter, I was afraid it was a trick by the middle official, so I came here to test it out on his behalf, and by the way, let Zhen Ji meet her sister and tell each other about her love..."

Yang Biao nodded and said: "I know this. It's not a trick of the eunuchs. The court has indeed spared Brother Bojie from the crime of being falsely accused of criticizing the court in the past. You can let Brother Bojie return to Luoyang with peace of mind. Now there is no one in Luoyang. Dare to move him."

No one dares to move?

Yang Qi and his wife looked at each other in blank dismay, with a look of astonishment on their faces.

Seeing this, Yang Biao said vaguely: "I don't want to say much about this matter, but I can assure you that Miss Cai was not bullied at all in the palace, on the contrary she was very much loved by Marquis Shi."

Haven't suffered the slightest bit?
Is this too much to say?

Even if Shihou loves Cai Yan, how can he guarantee others?
Seeing Yang Yu and Cai Zhenji's skeptical looks, Yang Biao was not surprised. After all, the young couple was not in Luoyang, let alone in the palace. He didn't know the influence of that Shi Hou in the palace and in the court.

It is no exaggeration to say that only Empress Dowager Dong, Dong Zhong, Sun Zhang and others in the entire court and harem may be unfavorable to Cai Yan. Others are also secretly helping, and these people have no contact at all.

"Don't you believe what I say?" Yang Biao asked with a smile.

"Don't dare." Yang Qi hurriedly confessed.

His wife, Mrs. Cai, pleaded: "How dare a Min daughter disbelieve what your lord said, but if it's convenient, a Min daughter would like to go to the palace to see her sister, so that father can feel at ease."

"This……"

Yang Biao had a look of embarrassment on his face.

Even though he is the son of Yang Ci and a doctor of the Taizhong, it is not impossible for him to arrange people to enter the palace, but the question is, how dare he arrange for the person next to Shihou?
As Lu Zhi's close friend, he knew it. Even Zhang Rang would not dare to arrange Shihou's affairs hastily, otherwise Yuan Wei would have succeeded in replacing Lu Zhi as the prince and grand teacher.

He thought for a while and said: "How about this, you write a letter and I will send it to Cai Ji when I enter the palace tomorrow. If she asks Shi Hou, Shi Hou will definitely agree."

Hearing this, Cai Zhenji was taken aback.

The next day, Yang Biao brought Cai Zhenji's letter into the palace and sent it to Cai Yan on the way.

Only after reading the letter did Cai Yan realize that her sister and brother-in-law had come all the way from Taishan County to visit him, and she was also excited, so she hurriedly told Liu Bian about it.

Naturally, Liu Bian would not miss such a good opportunity, and teased with a smile: "You kiss me once, and I will agree to call them into the palace."

Cai Yan looked at Liu Bian angrily, and reluctantly kissed Liu Bian on the face, his expression was so calm that even she was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bian was not satisfied, and raised his finger to his lips: "Here."

Only then did Cai Yan show a bit of shyness on his face, but more of it was anger, because the little bastard in front of him always tried to tease her in every possible way.

In the end, she still kissed Liu Bian on the lips with a cold face. Anyway, she has been kissed by this kid countless times since entering the palace, and this time is not bad. She is just angry, but he always likes to make fun of her .

"Are you satisfied?"

"Hmm." Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction, and even licked his lips, which made Cai Yan feel ashamed, angry, and amused at the same time.

"Then why don't you send someone to bring my sister to the palace?"

"What's the hurry?... Zhao Chun."

"The minister is here."

"You go there yourself, to the residence of Taizhong doctor Yang Biao, and invite Wenji's sister and brother-in-law to the palace."

"As ordered."

Zhao Chun left in a hurry, and in less than a moment, he brought several carriages to Yang Biao's mansion, called out Yang Qi, Yang Dan, and Cai Zhenji to meet each other, and said respectfully: "Shi Hou ordered me to invite the three of you into the palace. .”

Ever since, the three of Yang Qi got into the carriage and headed all the way to the Han Palace.

The guard guarding the palace gate saw Yangqin and asked Zhao Chun, "Zhao Dianling, who are these people?"

Zhao Chun smiled and said, "It's the person Shihou wants to see."

Hearing this, the guards let them go without hesitation, which made the Yang brothers murmur.

Not long after, Zhao Chun led Yang Qi and the others to the outside of the Jiafang Hall, and told them to wait outside, while he advanced into the hall to report.

At the same time, Liu Bian and the expectant Cai Yan were sitting in the hall waiting. Seeing Zhao Chun walk in, even Cai Yan lost his usual poise, and happily asked, "Could it be that my sister has arrived?"

"Yes." Zhao Chun smiled and bowed: "I brought them here."

Hearing this, Cai Yan stepped out of the hall, saw her sister waiting outside the hall at a glance, and called out happily: "Sister."

Cai Zhenji raised her hand when she heard the words, but she was a little dazed when she saw her younger sister. After all, the younger sister in her impression was thin and small, and she was often dirty because of doing farm work on weekdays, just like a country girl It seemed, but at the moment in front of her was a ruddy, fair-skinned young girl wearing a brocade silk skirt and a little plump.

This...is really her sister?
"Zhaoji?" She asked in disbelief.

Cai Yan, who hadn't heard her real name for a long time, was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "It's me, sister, don't you recognize me?"

Cai Zhenji had a strange expression. To be honest, it was really difficult for her to connect the girl in front of her with the younger sister in her impression.

The ones who showed the same look of surprise were naturally Yangqin and Yangdan. After all, when Yangqin married Cai Zhenji, the two brothers also met Cai Yan. She was just a dry little girl at that time, and she didn't expect such a change.

Just when the two brothers were secretly feeling emotional, suddenly, Yang Qin caught a glimpse of a young man in Chinese clothes who was around ten years old on the steps outside the hall.

Surprised, he hurriedly led his wife and younger brother to bow and salute: "Caomin Yangchen, with his young Yangdan and his wife Cai, visit Shihou, please Shihou forgive me for disturbing us."

Sheep?

Sheep?
A strange color flashed in Liu Bian's eyes.
