Chapter 2 Going out and being kidnapped
The first year of Zhaohong, on the first day of the second month.
Cao Hua, who was in the jewelry business, slept a little deeper during lunch break and came to this strange and familiar world. He just came and was hurt by a good woman. After being shot in a vase, she woke up late at night.
"Young Master? You guy? Get up and take medicine!"
I woke up quietly on the carved soft couch, and my headache was split. What I just experienced was like a strange dream.
It's really a strange dream!
I tried to look up, but found that the room was just now. The room was darker, with wooden tables, wooden beds, and wooden furniture. The workmanship was simple but clean, and the air was filled with a faint aroma of herbs.
"Young Master?"
The call sounded, and in a blink of an eye, it was a woman in green dressed as a maid, with a pretty face and a slender waist, holding a porcelain bowl and looking down and gentle.
The maid in green was holding a porcelain bowl and knelt in front of the soft couch and said softly: "Young Master, take medicine."
He was engaged in jewelry business and had some knowledge of antiques. The houses, including women's clothing, were almost the same as the folk customs of the Song Dynasty. Could it be that someone was joking with him and deliberately played such a big scene?
Thinking of this, he took the medicine bowl and asked with a smile: "Beauty, you graduated from the Drama Academy? You really can't find any fault."
He is optimistic and cheerful and a businessman. His conversation is a bit easy-going, and his smile makes people feel like spring breeze, but this is different in the eyes of the maid in green. She has never seen the young master smile before, and she is a little surprised: "Young master, you..."
"Stop pretending, is there anything wrong in the store?" He had no intention of acting with others, and there were still many things that he had not handled in the jewelry store.
"In the store?"
The maid in green was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the young master was very strong and did not dare to neglect, she bowed and replied seriously: "There are a few bandits in Liangshan who seem to come to Bianjing, and the young people are patrolling..."
"puff..."
The medicine that had just entered his mouth sprayed out in one mouthful.
Liangshan? Water Margin? Feeding medicine? Golden lotus?
After careful examination, I found that the window was brightly lit, but there was no tall building, and the towering palace city could be seen from afar.
I'm running there!
No wonder I just felt familiar, exactly the same as the scene when Pan Jinlian died of Wu Dalang on TV.
He lay on the collapse and said, "Bo" for a long time before he spitting out the medicine from his mouth. He was shocked. Could it be that he had become Wu Dalang?
I quickly looked down and looked at it. My fingers were white and slender, but I didn't like Wu Dalang at all.
After calming down, he hurriedly asked, "Where is this?"
"Report to the young master, Wu'an Marquis' Mansion."
"who I am?"
The maid in green was stunned. Someone had lost her memory? But she did not dare to disobey the young master's words and replied seriously: "Cao Hua, the right governor of the Heiyu Guard, the emperor personally named Wu'an Marquis!"
Marquis!
Cao Hua's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect to possess himself directly from the king and prince of the same name and surname.
This is the beginning of the magical start and the beginning of the dream.
Unfortunately, he couldn't be happy the next day.
The Black Feather Guard is the guard of the emperor, that is, the private soldiers under the emperor. Cao Hua was originally very skilled in martial arts and was always the guard of the emperor when he was away. When the emperor did not leave the palace, he was responsible for catching the court officials everywhere.
The three thousand subordinates have great power, but their family background is a bit shabby. There are only four people in the Marquis's house. Apart from him, there are only three maids left in the family. One is the beautiful girl in the above text. He grew up with him, surnamed Zhao Minghan, with his martial arts skills but a cold temperament. He is considered his little assistant. The remaining two are named Yutang and Luzhu, which were bought by Han'er, who are responsible for serving tea, pouring water, washing and cooking.
Although his family is not very rich, he is still a marquis. He originally wanted Han'er to take him out for a walk to see the world, but he didn't expect that he would be rolled all the time. Everyone hid when he saw him. He didn't see the quaint beauty, but someone fired a cold arrow on the street and almost shot him to the heart. If Han'er hadn't stopped the feather arrow with great martial arts skills, he would have seen the King of Hell on the spot.
After this time, he did not dare to go out easily. After carefully reading the history books in the Diankuisi Yamen for several days, he realized that this "Great Song" was different from the Song Dynasty he knew.
At this time, Song Jiang had just raised the banner of Tianxing Road, Fang La had not yet taken the initiative and Yue Fei had not joined the army.
In the history of this place, the Sui Dynasty had three more Sui Dynasty and then began to go astray. Although the dynasties were similar, many historical figures disappeared. There was an increase in Shu's treacherous gangster who called himself the King of Shu. Emperor Zhao Jie established the Diankui Si, named Emperor Guard, who actually inspected all officials.
And he, Cao Hua, is the most capable vicious dog around the emperor. Well... Maybe the hawk is better, but it is not a good thing anyway.
After knowing that he was a scumbag, he naturally didn't want to accept this identity. He just wanted to be a profiteer but not a traitor. Since he couldn't go back, he planned to go away and live in hiding his name.
However, as the saying goes, a penny cannot kill a hero. He has to find a way to earn money for half his life to leave. So on the fifth day of the second month, he disguised himself and sneaked out of the Wu'an Hou Mansion to look for business opportunities.
-----
The sunset tower is set on the banks of the Dongshui River, and flowers are like jade men and willows.
This common saying is widely circulated among the people, describing the Yanglou Street, the inner city of Bianjing. Yanglou Street is famous for its brothels, but the place of elegance is not the whole of it. The elegant place within the teahouse and chess club is also quite famous.
The spring is in full swing, and almost all the girls and leisurely women who are waiting to be named after the boudoir run to Yanglou Street to play, which naturally attracted scholars and scholars to gather on the street.
Cao Hua was not afraid of being assassinated, so he disguised himself as a scholar in a scholar's robe, had two beards, and had a square scarf on his head, pretending to be a scholar in a playful manner. As a marquis, he wanted to find these and put on makeup.
At this time, a large-scale poetry meeting was in full swing on Yanglou Street. Talented men and beautiful ladies from all walks of life gathered together, and several great scholars were in charge. This was a rare opportunity for literati to become famous. Brothel women also like to earn fame here.
Before the time came, many scholars were enjoying the scenery on the three-story building by the railings, writing unpleasant poems, which attracted the attention of the young man.
Seeing this, he helped the scarf above his head and was about to enter the Pipa Yuanxue Li Taibai's "Hundred Poems of Wine Fighting Wine" to let these foolish ancients see what talented men are. He has read the history books, but none of the big guys such as Li Bai and Su Shi appeared. If those masterpieces were lost in this world, he would naturally have no choice but to think about the textbooks of elementary school students in the future.
Unfortunately, before I could enter, I heard a noise suddenly coming.
"A broken stone, dare you ask for ten taels of silver. Are you blind to the Fourth Master?"
"Master Liu Si, this jade pendant is inherited from the ancestral age. If my mother hadn't been seriously ill, she would never have sold it..."
On the street, a poor scholar squatted on the ground, with beads, hairpins, flowers, birds and pendants placed in front of him, and a few stones pressed against the four corners.
The man named Liu Siye was wearing a robe and was picky in front of the stall. His face was full of flesh and blood, and he insisted on buying flowers and bird pendants for one tael of silver. Although his appearance was rough, he was obviously a bit hot and had a good grasp of his words, which made the scholars afraid and not become angry. Some people who watched the fun advised the scholars to speak loudly and take a step back and then they would do it.
A dou of rice in Bianjing is priced at three cents of silver, and the flower and bird pendants are of excellent material and workmanship is excellent, but there are some stains in the past. If they are cleaned up, it costs more than ten taels of silver. Cao Hua has been dealing with Jewelry for half his life, so he can naturally see the depth.
The scholar talked about the price for half a day, and finally nodded reluctantly and reduced it to eight taels of silver.
Mr. Liu spat: "Forget it, I won't bother with you, a nerd." Then he took the jade pendant and picked up a stone that pressed the cloth stall: "The table at home is broken, so I'll borrow this stone to equip you."
The size of a stone palm, the scholar picked it up from Dushan. He only felt that it was good-looking and never lost it. He naturally didn't mind making a big profit now.
Mr. Liu was cursing and was about to get up, but a young man dressed in a scholar came over: "Brother, give me this jade pendant. The tigress at home insisted on this flower and bird pendant. I ran half a street to find it. It was not easy."
Master Liu frowned and looked up and down a few times. Seeing that the person coming was a weak scholar, he couldn't help but show a bit of evil: "Don't you understand the rules of coming first and then coming?"
"I don't understand!" Cao Hua smiled and was fearless. He was "Kyoto Tai Sui". He had three thousand traits under his command, so what kind of way to go out?
Seeing that the scholar seemed to have a background, Master Liu couldn't help but frown slightly: "Liu Laosi, adopted father Chen Wen, my friend should know the right way."
Throughout history, local snakes have always been short of.
He chuckled and said, "My wife Cao from Xicheng, her adopted father Xue Laojiu, brothers should be more comfortable in their clothes."
Xue Laojiu is naturally his nominal adoptive father Xue Jiuquan and the eunuch whom the emperor Zhao Jie favored the most.
Mr. Liu was stunned for a long time, but he didn't remember that there was a person named "Wife Cao" in the city. He frowned and said, "Friends, you can eat random food..."
As soon as I said halfway, I saw the scholar in front of me and took out a sign from my arms:
The tiger's head is carved on the back and the 'black feather' is on the front.
The Emperor's Guards' waist card.
It flashed away, but it was enough to make people see clearly.
The Heiyuwei Guard has a reputation as a "Hei Wuchang" and "Life-seeking Ghost" in Bianjing. Liu Laosi was stunned on the spot. After returning to his senses, his face turned pale and he was about to kneel down on the spot.
Cao Hua hurriedly supported him: "Seeing that you are so polite, I won't care about you."
"Sir...help! Thank you Brother Cao for a lot of this jade pendant, this little jade pendant is used as a filial piety to you." Liu Laosi was so nervous that he climbed into the friendship of the Black Feather Guard. What is a broken jade pendant?
"Forget it, since I, Cao, have reported my identity, I will not force you to take over. This time I should make friends and see you again if you are destined to do so."
He picked up the stone that pressed a corner of the stall casually, weighed it twice, and then turned around and walked back.
Run faster than a rabbit.
Master Liu was stunned for a moment with his jade pendant, but he couldn't figure out what this official meant.
------------
The moonlight is hazy.
The lights of thousands of homes are decorated with willows in the wind, and the singing of the pavilions and alleys are like the flowing guests.
The spring river is green, and the moon is sparse.
In a small alley on Yanglou Street, three old locust trees stand at the entrance of the alley.
The alleys are sparsely populated, the lights are bright and the times are gone, and many houses are uninhabited.
Cao Hua wiped the stones he picked up with his sleeve in the alley.
Such a large piece of Dushan jade embryo, with a plump and delicate flesh, he had been dealing with jewelry all his life, so how could he not be able to see it?
It weighs four pounds, and it is a little smaller carved into a jade cabbage, but it is carved into a seal. It is easy to earn thousands of taels of silver with his skills.
Huge profits!
He looked carefully with the street lights, and the stones in his hand had been converted into small money, which was the first pot of gold he earned when he came here.
The night wind blew across the alley, and there were more personal figures on the walls.
He was intoxicated when he suddenly felt a wind coming from behind his head.
In the past, Wu Yi Tongshen's body was still there, and his instinctive sense of crisis made him feel threatened and his body suddenly bounced up.
"Peng!"
A dull sound.
He was hit by a hammer on the back of his head, his body shaking, and his eyes turned black. The raw stone he had just obtained in his hand rolled into the alleyway canal.
His strong body made him suffer a blow and still held him to hold on without fainting.
Chapter completed!
