After the entry ceremony, the Han army withdrew from the west city from Chang'an and returned to the military camp. Although the crowds in Chang'an City dispersed, their passion had not disappeared. Restaurants of all sizes in Chang'an City were full of people, and people drank and gathered to express their unfinished recreation.

Liu Jing also returned to his mansion after entering the city. Xiao Qiao was a little sick and went back to his house to rest last night. Liu Jing's current mansion was still the temporary residence he had in the past. The mansion was not big, and the conditions were a little simpler than Chengdu.

After the Han Dynasty officially moved the capital to Chang'an, the Han Palace would move to the Dajia Palace in the north city. It was originally the Xidu Li Palace built by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. Emperors of all dynasties allocated money and grain to repair and maintain it. Although they were eventually destroyed by Li Kuai's army, some of them were well preserved. A few years ago, Liu Jing fought north to Longxi, Cao Cao personally stationed in Chang'an, and the Sili-guard Zhong Yao renovated the Dajia Palace and became Cao Cao's temporary residence in Chang'an.

Tao Zhan was chatting with his stepmother Su. After the death of Chaisang, his father Tao Sheng married the widow of Su Fei, a prominent Wuchang clan, two years later. Although Tao Zhan did not oppose his father's re-string, she was not happy. His father had many concubines around him, so why did he have to marry his wife again?

Tao Zhan's disgust in his heart was manifested as his indifference to his stepmother. A year after his father Tao Sheng got married, Tao Zhan still refused to see his stepmother. It was not until Su gave birth to Tao Sheng and named him Tao Lin. Tao Zhan barely reconciled with his stepmother Su for the sake of his younger brother, but he still rarely met.

As Tao Zhan grew older and matured, her relationship with her stepmother gradually became harmonious and she could meet frequently. Especially as the new mistress of the Tao family, Su was strict with the Tao family.

A year ago, several Tao family servants were drinking in a restaurant in Chengdu. They spoke rudely, injured the shopkeeper, and set fire to the restaurant. Su did not protect him and handed over the criminals to the government for guilt and compensated the restaurant for losses. This matter won Tao Zhan's favor for Su, and she officially accepted this stepmother.

Today, Tao Zhan invited Su to discuss something with her. The cause was Qiao Xuan's house. Qiao Xuan's house was a rented house, but recently the owner sold the house to the original Zhang family. If the Zhang family wants to rebuild the house, Qiao Xuan has to move away.

In fact, this incident was not accidental. The Han army defeated the Huns, which meant that the Han Dynasty moved its capital to Chang'an was a foregone conclusion. The land price in Chang'an soared, from one tael of gold per mu of land the previous year to twenty taels of gold now, and it is still hard to find a place.

A large number of wealthy families in Jingzhou, Bashu and even the Central Plains came to Chang'an to buy land and houses. In order to make a fortune, some small and medium-sized families sold their houses in Chang'an at a high price and turned to nearby counties to buy land and houses at a low price, making a huge difference. In this context, the house where Qiao Xuan lived was sold to the original Zhang family at a high price.

The biggest beneficiary of this was the Tao family. Tao Sheng had a keen business acumen. When the Han army was preparing to conquer Longxi north, he realized that Chang'an would become Liu Jing's final capital in the future.

At that time, people in Chang'an were panic. Many people sold their properties at a low price. Tao Sheng took the opportunity to make a lot of money. Although Tao Sheng later donated half of the land he bought to the Jingzhao government for free as an official land, the Tao family still owned thousands of acres of land in Chang'an City and made a fortune.

Tao Zhan came to discuss with Su, just to buy two good houses from the Tao family, one for Bao Niang's uncle, which was Bao Niang's only relative. As a reward for Bao Niang's childbirth, the other was to Qiao Xuan, as the Qiao family's mansion.

Su smiled and said, "It's not easy for the princess to want two houses. I'll ask the master to arrange it. But they are all their own family members. Why do you have to use the word "buy"? Instead, they become unfamiliar with family affection."

Tao Zhan shook his head, "Brothers have to settle the score clearly. Besides, I am buying a house from the Tao family in the name of the housewife of the Liu family. I didn't want to bother the Tao family, but the two houses I like belong to the Tao family, so I asked my wife to come and discuss. Besides, with the assets of the Liu family, it is not laborious to buy two houses, so my wife doesn't have to be polite to me."

Su knew Tao Zhan’s temper and had to smile bitterly and said, “I don’t know that the princess has a crush on those two houses.”

"One is the famous Ancient Huai Mansion on Zhengyang Street in the south of the city. It covers an area of ​​about ten acres, and the other is located in Longwang Lane in the west of the city. It covers about eight acres. Both houses are all in Linhe. They are currently empty. According to the market price, Linhe Mansion's house will be ten taels of gold per acre. I will pay as much as possible, and I just hope to transfer the property as soon as possible."

Su had no choice but to nod and agreed, but she had a scheming in her heart. She could also buy furniture and decorate the house. In short, the Tao family would never be able to make a deposit on this house. Even if Tao Zhan is not concerned, she would still give the Han King face.

"Okay, when the master comes back from Chengdu, the transfer will be immediately, and the settlement will be completed in ten days at the latest." In fact, the land deed is in the hands of Su, and she can transfer the ownership at any time, but it will take ten days for her to modify the house.

Tao Zhan nodded, "Then it's a matter of determination."

At this moment, a maid rushed to the hall and whispered: "Madam, the prince is back home."

Tao Zhan was immediately overjoyed and immediately stood up and said, "His Royal Highness of Han has returned to his house. I have to go to greet him. I will lose my companion first."

"I won't disturb your family's reunion, I'll say goodbye first."

Su left the side door, and Tao Zhan quickly walked towards the outer house. He happened to meet Liu Jing entering the mansion. He had not seen her husband for several months. Tao Zhan felt warm and greeted him, "Husband is back."

When Liu Jing returned home, his mind, which had been tense for several months, suddenly relaxed, and he suddenly felt an indescribable fatigue all over his body. However, when he saw his wife, a kind of family affection for a long time reunion surged in his heart. He stepped forward and hugged Tao Zhan tightly in his arms. The large group of maids behind were stunned. He had never seen the prince intimate with the princess like this, and everyone was silent.

Tao Zhan's face turned slightly red. She felt her husband's deep feelings for her, and she was also very moved. But in front of so many maids and maids, she felt a little embarrassed and whispered: "Husband, everyone is watching us."

Liu Jing laughed, let go of his wife, and saw Sun Shangxiang again. She was standing aside, looking at him with a smile. Liu Jing stretched out his arm to her, and Sun Shangxiang slowly walked forward. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still let Liu Jing hug her tightly in her arms.

"Okay, okay, you should go and hug your son. We old arms and legs don't have to be so attentive."

When Liu Jing heard her talk interestingly, he couldn't help laughing, and everyone immediately became lively. Liu Zhu, the eldest daughter of "Dad" rushing over. She is already six years old and still looks so round and cute.

Liu Jing liked her the most, picked her up, kissed her heavily on her face, and smiled lovingly, "My little pig has grown into a big pig."

"Dad, go and see your little brother. He and Zhu'er look like each other." Liu Zhu whispered in Liu Jing's ear.

"Of course Daddy wants to see him."

At this time, Chang Liu Zhi stepped forward and knelt down to salute his father, "Children pay homage to his father."

Liu Jing quickly pulled him up and said with a smile: "No need to kneel down here, get up quickly."

Liu Zhi is Liu Jing's eldest son and the world that Liu Jing has already established. In the future, he will inherit his father's career and shoulder the important task of realizing the Han Dynasty to become stronger again.

Therefore, Liu Jing's requirements for him were strict, and even Tao Zhan changed Liu Zhi's master without discussing with him in advance, which almost caused the couple to rebel.

But it is precisely this relatively strict requirement that makes the fatherly relationship between Liu Jing and Chang slightly thin, at least not as close as Liu Zhu and his father.

At this time, the two-year-old Liu Long and Liu Chan were also brought to welcome their father by their wet nurse. Liu Jing was intimate with them one by one, and then the family was welcomed to the back hall like stars and the moon was held by the moon.

In the back hall, the family gathered together, and Xiao Qiao forced her sick body to come to the back hall to welcome Liu Jing home. At this time, Liu Jing finally saw Da Qiao. She sat at the end, her dress was simple, without any makeup, and there was no decoration on her body or head.

She just sat there quietly, with a faint smile on her face. Time did not leave any traces of vicissitudes on her face, but added a mature and calm charm. Even when she and Liu Jing's eyes were touching each other, her eyes were still calm, as quiet as a deep pool.

Liu Jing sighed in his heart. His passion with Da Qiao was just a coincidence, and it would be difficult to relive the old dream in the future.

Liu Jing and Da Qiao's eyes met, and in just a moment, Liu Jing's eyes turned away. It was difficult for the people next to him to see any clues. In fact, except for Xiao Qiao a little doubting their relationship, everyone else was confused.

Tao Zhan smiled and said, "Da Qiao is coming in September. It has been almost two months. Everyone gets along very well, but she is determined to move back to Qiao's house. It's useless for me, Shangxiang, to persuade her, and my husband also helps us persuade her."

Liu Jing nodded slightly to Da Qiao and asked with a smile: "Are you not used to living in my mansion?"

Da Qiao smiled faintly, "It's not that the princess is very nice to me, she is as close as her family, I feel very grateful."

"Then why should I move away and live with everyone, and I can take care of each other. There are so many cute children, so I won't feel lonely. Madam, stay." Liu Jing's eyes were looking at Da Qiao with a hint of expectation.

Da Qiao's long eyelashes drooped. After a long time, she shook her head gently, "Thank you for your kindness. But my father is old and needs someone to take care of him. It's better for me to move to my father. I will come over if I have time."

Liu Jing couldn't force her, so he could only sigh in his heart, "Since that's the case, then I won't force her wife."

At this time, Bao Niang came out holding the son who had been full of the month, and everyone's attention was suddenly diverted by this fat and cute little guy. The back hall suddenly became lively, but Da Qiao quietly got up and left the back hall. Her things were packed up just to take a look at Liu Jing. Now that her wish has been fulfilled, she can leave.

Only Liu Jing noticed her getting up. He looked at her back from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that she did not look back and left without looking back, his heart suddenly felt stinging.

"Master, this is your child."

Bao Niang handed the child to Liu Jing, and she was very excited. The wish he had always dreamed of finally came true. She had her own son. She hoped that her husband could love this son like she loved her daughter.

Liu Jing suppressed his heartache, pulled Si back, took his son, looked at the fat and cute round face in the cradle, and his sadness caused by Da Qiao's departure was temporarily forgotten. Liu Jing smiled and said, "This is another small bag, I like it."

Everyone laughed, and Xiao Bao Niang blushed and whispered: "My elder sister gave him a nickname, Polu, because he was born, he happened to encounter the Han army defeating the Huns. He has no official name yet."
