"The sun rises in the southeast corner, shining on my Qin family building. The Qin family has a good daughter, and she names herself Luofu." [Yuefu Poetry Collection·Mo Shang Sang]
"No matter what, it's fair to say that we all lose. The Three Orders of Taicang should be busy with things. Ming Gong only needs to sit back and take control and enjoy his success." Hu Miao said with a smile.
Dong Cheng chuckled lightly. This is the advantage of sitting in the highest position. No matter what the people below do, if good things happen, he will eventually have his own share, and he does not need to do the hard work himself. Who makes him always the best?
What about the person who is in charge of the center and manages the affairs?
The autumn weather was still severe at this time, and the carriage had both curtains and walls, completely blocking the wind. Dong Cheng felt that it was stuffy inside the carriage, so he raised his hand and asked Hu Miao to lift the curtains on both sides.
The car happened to be driving in the East Market. It was very noisy outside. Not only were there many unpleasant smells mixed with it, but there were also many ugly and dirty Li Shu people walking around who didn't like to wash themselves up. Dong Cheng didn't want to look outside at first. He was about to urge
The driver hurriedly walked over, but he heard a commotion in front of him. Among the lively and crowded Dongshi people, some people were actually standing still on the street.
Hu Miao was rolling up the car curtain, glanced out, and suddenly said "Huh".
Before he could take a closer look, someone suddenly pushed his body to the side. Dong Cheng leaned forward and leaned against the car window to look out.
At this time, the sun had just passed noon, and there were a few clouds hanging sparsely in the blue sky. Under the golden autumn sunshine, a woman was slim and graceful, with a pony bun on her head, leaning slightly to one side.
The waterfall is flowing like a waterfall, with no other ornaments except a jade hairpin on it and pearls hanging from both ears.
This woman is beautiful and elegant. She is wearing a light blue dress and a purple robe. There is a bamboo basket hanging on her slender arm. She is pausing a few steps to select a loader and a peasant woman from outside the city.
The fruits and vegetables that came. The arm exposed from her sleeves was white and soft, like a new lotus root. The sun shone on her skin, emitting a faint soft light. The woman's back was facing the carriages and horses of Dong Cheng and others.
His movements were like a weak willow supporting the wind. Just from the moving figure on his back and the reaction of the pedestrians in front of him, Dong Cheng could almost tell that his appearance was extraordinary.
"Eh!"
Seeing her walking further and further away, a man who looked like a vendor suddenly called out.
The merchant had just arrived in Chang'an not long ago. As soon as he shouted, the local friend next to him quickly pulled him aside and whispered: "Just take a look, but don't provoke her! If you offend her husband, you will never think of it in your life."
Going on business in Chang'an!"
Seeing the seriousness of what he said, the merchant felt regretful, but at this moment the woman heard someone calling her and suddenly turned her head.
Only half of the side face exposed is indeed fresh, charming and naturally charming. Such a weak and beautiful woman should be treasured and hidden in a golden house. How can she be willing to let people see her?
Dong Cheng, who was kneeling in the car, suddenly stood up from his knees. He suddenly understood what "amazing" meant.
"Qing Tong!" Dong Cheng shouted anxiously when he saw the woman picking out the vegetables.
The driver who was sitting on the shaft immediately jumped to the ground, walked a few steps to the window, and bowed respectfully with his fists clasped.
This handsome coachman was none other than Qin Qingtong, who was originally a disciple of Dong Cheng. By chance, he was spotted by Dong Cheng and became his personal coachman.
Hu Miao seemed to have just noticed this coachman and couldn't help but glance at his handsome face.
Dong Cheng also looked at Qin Qingtong's face for a while, his eyes flashed across his face, then he shook his head and sighed, and said: "Go to the front and ask, whose daughter is she?"
Qin Qing didn't say much about the fairy tale. He just answered "here" and ran quickly to the other side of the street.
Pedestrians beside the car saw this movement and took a look at the luxurious carriage and horses Dong Cheng was traveling in. They all sighed in their hearts and said, 'I'm afraid his family is going to be in trouble.'
Dong Cheng's intention was still unfinished, and the fever in his abdomen refused to go away. He patted his thigh in the car and said to Hu Miao: "Unexpectedly, there is such a woman in the world! The wives, concubines, maids and maids in my house usually look pretty good, until today... Eh! What?
It’s too late to realize this!”
Hu Miao was also surprised. He had been in charge of Beijing for many years and had recruited many beautiful girls for Dong Cheng. He had never heard of such a beautiful girl, unless she was not a lady from a good family, but a married woman.
Thinking like this, the answer came quickly: "That person's surname is Du, nickname is Luofu, she is twenty-one years old, and she is the wife of Qin Yi, a captain in the north of Chang'an."
Women in the Han Dynasty often used the word "Luofu" as their name, just like men nowadays often use "Yannian" and "Pengzu". This is the naming trend of the era, popular but ordinary. Similar to it, there are also common names in later generations.
'Jianguo', 'Lili' and the like.
Dong Cheng muttered, somehow, such an ordinary name, which would be responded to by several people when mentioned casually on the street, was so beautiful and sweet, as if the woman had given this name a different charm: "
Good, good.”
He repeatedly praised: "What a good name."
Hu Miao looked up at Dong Cheng, his eyes showing a bit of helplessness. Knowing that the other party was completely fascinated, he did not dare to say anything to disappoint him. He smiled and said: "She is indeed a beauty, but she has a husband. What a pity."
He knew that Qin Yi was a confidant of Wang Ling, the commander of Chang'an, and Wang Ling was once the secretary-general who was favored by the emperor. If she were just an ordinary civilian woman, this woman would not be easy to touch.
Hu Miao tried to dispel Dong Cheng's idea, but Dong Cheng was obsessed with it and asked himself: "What a fool! Since you asked her name, why didn't you bring her to see her?"
Qin Qingtong quickly explained: "I couldn't catch up with him, and the man turned around and disappeared in an alley. It's better to ask around to understand these things."
Dong Cheng lost his temper and was about to say something when he suddenly thought of something and said, "You said she already has a husband? Can she have children?"
Qin Qingtong kowtowed beside the car and said, "Wei, this man gave birth to a son last year." After saying that, he immediately reacted, stood up and stood by the window and whispered: "Didn't Mr. Dong talk to Chang Shi about the palace summons last time?"
"That's right!" Dong Cheng opened his mouth and interrupted: "This woman must have been given to me by God, how could I sit back and watch her mistake?" He turned to look at Hu Miao, who had an incomprehensible look on his face, and said, "Jingcai, I leave this matter to you.
Come and do it.”
Hu Miao was shocked and said quickly: "Ming Gong! This is Qin Yi's wife, Qin Yi is..."
"A Northern Lieutenant!" Dong Cheng waved his hand impatiently and shouted softly: "A three-hundred- or four-hundred-ton official, Chang'an has four such lieutenants! It's enough to scare the common people, but in front of me, he
Even worse than Qingtong! If you are told to go, just go, what else can you do to the sky?"
Hu Miao was speechless for a moment. He suddenly realized something and asked aloud: "Just now this person said that Dong Feng and Ming Gong had a discussion about what? Why don't you know this at all?"
Dong Feng and Dong Cheng had secretly conspired, and it sounded like it was related to the palace. Hu Miao didn't hear any news about such an important matter! No wonder Dong Feng has been so popular with Dong Cheng recently. It turns out that she has left long ago.
We had to keep a close eye on him, but I didn’t even think of looking for Hu Miao for some secrets.
Hu Miao was angry and jealous. He originally wanted to argue the pros and cons for Dong Cheng, but he suddenly changed his mind. He thought that this matter would not cause a big fuss, and he could use this matter to gain favor.
