Chapter 5 On the Journey
When Han Jian visited Luoyang, he not only accepted the title of a prince and held a place to take charge, but also wanted to make friends with high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital to expand his connections.
In addition to preparing various trips for him, the aunt at home also prepared many "gifts" for him. Han Jian also carried the task of helping the aunts go back to their parents' home to visit their relatives.
In addition to Han Jian's ninth concubine, the other ten concubines in the family have family members in Luoyang City. Han Jian has no immediate relatives, but there are many grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. They are also stepping stones for Han Jian to expand his connections in Luoyang, the capital. Before leaving, the aunt taught him earnestly and taught him a lot of "handling with people", such as how to treat his grandfather, such as interacting with his uncle more, such as not looking down on his cousins, and then ignore those cousins who are dedicated to him.
Han Jian is the little prince and the pride of his aunts. He is outgoing in his daughters. The aunts have long regarded him as their son. If they ask him, they are completely standing on his side and alienating their mother's family.
On the last day before leaving, Han Jian's second concubine, Han Song, called him into the room and gave him a roll of paper, saying, "Jian'er, this time you go to Luoyang, the mountains and rivers are far away, and you can't be with you for your side. You must take care of yourself."
"Yes." Han Jian bowed to take the order, but he was wondering whether he had forgotten to bring something.
A few days ago, he had already discussed with Ruan Ping and Sima Yi, and the two would go to Luoyang with him. Ruan Ping had already passed the imperial examination when he was fifteen years old. He was a young talented man and was going to the capital to take the imperial examination and prepare to take the imperial examination in one fell swoop. Sima Yi wanted to sneak out of his house and travel thousands of miles to fulfill his dream of becoming a hero.
"Your Majesty hopes that the Eastern Prince's Mansion will marry the Southern Prince's Mansion, so this time you go to Luoyang and walk around more with the people from the Southern Prince's Mansion." Han Song added.
Han Jian was wandering around the sky and pulled his soul back in one sentence: "Er Niang, what did you say?"
"Travel with the people from the Nanwang Mansion more often. This year, people from the Nanwang Mansion will also go to the capital and meet you."
Han Jian of the Nanwang Mansion didn't care at all. He was mainly surprised by the "marriage matter". He had never heard anyone mention that his lifelong affairs were decided by others?
The four kings of the Wei Dynasty, the kings of the southeast, the west, the west, the west, the west, the Xianbei in the north, and the south to resist the Southern Qi. Although Han Jian was named Dongwang, he was actually the Southeast King, and the meaning of the existence of the East King was also to resist the Southern Qi.
However, the Eastern Prince's Mansion has always been incompatible with the Southern Prince's Mansion, mainly related to the Battle of Jinling 16 years ago. In the Battle of Jinling, Han Jian's father, Han Gui, led his troops to the city of Jinling. Seeing that Jinling was about to break down, the defense line of the Southern Qi Dynasty was about to collapse. As a result, the Southern Prince's troops, who were responsible for defending the flank, withdrew their troops, resulting in the isolation of the Eastern Prince's army. In the end, Han Gui also failed in the Battle of Jinling.
When this enemy meets, not only can't be jealous, but also pretend to be close. Han Jian thinks it's really embarrassing to him.
Han Jian thought, probably because the queen wanted to resolve the conflict between the two families through marriage. If the marriage between the Eastern King and the Southern King of Kings was indeed of great help to the stability of the southern line of the Wei Dynasty.
With great helplessness, Han Jian came out of the room and put all his last belongings into the carriage where he loaded the goods.
Most of these things were "invented" by his woodworking, and some tools were used to continue inventing them. Among them, Han Jian was most proud of his homemade guitar. He spent several months looking for materials to make and then tune. In addition, there was a harmonica he made, which in his opinion were all essential tools for "sucking girls in Beijing". Han Jian also liked his appearance of playing the harmonica while Wen'er was dancing.
This time Han Jian went to Luoyang, and his second wife, Han Song, wanted to stay at home to guard the house. Only his third and ninth sisters were his third sisters and ninth sisters.
The third aunt has a good status at home, and the third aunt's father is a former official of the Ministry of Personnel, which is helpful for the expansion of Han Jian's connections. Therefore, this time Han Song specially asked the third aunt to accompany him. Han Jian's ninth aunt is Han Jian's mother's maid. She knows martial arts and can protect her. The family does not want Han Jian to be in danger outside and no one takes care of him.
In addition to the Third Aunt and Ninth Aunt and who were with Han Jian, there was also a general of the Eastern Prince's Mansion's personal guard camp. The Emperor's Mansion had a total of 400 cavalry and was an elite soldier under the vassals of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. He was responsible for escorting the Eastern Prince's Mansion to Beijing and being granted a title and returning safely.
In addition to these, Han Jian's personal maid Wen'er was also with Han Jian. Wen'er was fourteen years old at this time. Although she was still a little girl and had not developed well, she was already very beautiful. Han Jian always felt that she had a good vision and even chose the best maid.
When he went north to Luoyang, he not only had to prepare for the needs on the road, but also had to develop the semicolon of the "Three Kingdoms Bookstore" to the capital. The comic strip "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to the ninth episode has become a "myth" in the publishing industry in the Wei Dynasty, and countless readers have been followed. If the distribution was interrupted because of his going north, not only disappointing readers, it will also cause him to suffer financial losses. He simply wanted to run a bookstore and put the bookstore to the feet of the emperor. Han Jian felt that only in a capital like Luoyang City could the maximum effect of publishing books in the bookstore.
...
...
The spring breeze is thriving. Han Jian set out with a relaxed and happy mood.
It would take less than two hundred miles to get a problem.
The weather is not suitable for the local environment and cannot withstand the fatigue of travel. It is also the warm and cold weather when spring is warm and the weather is cold... Anyway, it is because of some reasons that he cannot explain clearly that Han Jian is sick. The disease is still a bit serious.
Fortunately, Dongwang Chejia and his party took the doctor to diagnose him, saying that it was wind and cold. Wind and cold matters can be big or small, and Han Jian got the "big" type, cough, fever, vomiting...
Han Jian suddenly felt that he might have had wealth and good food and clothing, and he had a good life. He was in a state of trouble with him as soon as he left the house.
Han Jian was not in the mood to see the scenery along the way, so he could only stay in the car and wrapped in a quilt every day. He took more medicine than he could eat.
The illness was a little better, and it was a little more serious. This was repeated over and over again. Han Jian's mood also continued.
Because of the illness of the little prince, the car drivers of the Dongwang Mansion had to walk for two months, but they had been walking for nearly three months. It was not until April that the first party arrived outside Luoyang City. Han Jian originally wanted to go to Chang'an City to watch peach blossoms, temple fairs, and attend a poetry fair, and make friends with a few celebrities in the capital. This disease disrupted all his plans.
The car drove into Luoyang City and directly into the villa of the Dongwang Mansion in the capital. Ruan Ping and Sima Yi couldn't wait to run to Luoyang City to "see", but Han Jian could only hide in the room and live in a pot of medicine.
After settling in Luoyang City, Han Jian's condition finally stabilized. A few days later, he was already full of energy.
Just the next day, Han Jian was preparing to experience the prosperity of Luoyang City with Ruan Ping and Sima Yi. Sanniang gave him a "famous sect" and told him: "Master Pan, a great man from Hedong, will give him the last time to go and listen to it tomorrow."
"Public lectures" are the public lectures of some people who are arrogant and outstanding in their studies, which is similar to the public lectures. However, there are too many people who want to listen to this kind of lectures, so only those who receive special invitations or request instructions will be allowed to listen.
Han Jian sighed, it was obvious that the third concubine had gone to the relationship for him to increase her knowledge.
