Stirring up with the old enemy

After the celebration banquet in March, the time passed by until the end of May, Hao Chun did not see Chen Jingming again.I heard that he was ordered to go to Jiangnan Road to inspect an important case.

Hao Chun didn't see his "Mrs. Hou", but received people from Sanbo'er Taichang Temple one after another, even the Honglu Temple who came to assist in organizing this royal bestowed marriage came once.From the time when the application period was set to the day when Marquis Pingle greeted him in person, the errands on both sides took the trouble to ask over and over again.

At the beginning of June, Lu Fengchang, the Minister of Taichang Temple, came in person and said that the betrothal gift sent by the Pinglehou Mansion to Chen's house had been withdrawn.

"Refunded?" Hao Chun raised a pair of bushy eyebrows and yelled in a strange voice: "Why should he withdraw my dowry?"

Lu Fengchang had a bitter face, and his eyebrows hung upside down. "Your Majesty doesn't know, this Chen Yushi...he didn't buy a house in Chang'an at all, but rented a venue in Xishi. No, he left Beijing for a few months, and the venue in Chang'an was said to be expired According to the owner of the venue, this Chen Yushi...he is poor! The poor one owes half a month's rent and has not paid yet. The lower official took someone to send the betrothal, but the betrothal gift was not delivered, but was paid in advance for him Half a month's rent."

Every time Lu Fengchang mentioned "this Chen Yushi", he had to pause for a moment, his face full of indescribable words.

Hao Chun didn't expect Chen Jingming to be so poor.

"Shouldn't!" Hao Chun stared wide-eyed, and frowned strangely, "He's still a fourth-rank court official now, what about the salary given to him by the court?"

It's not so poor that you can't even afford the rent.

Lu Fengchang sighed deeply. "Your Majesty doesn't know, this Chen Yushi... He comes from a very remote village in Nanyang, the entire Chen Family Ancestral Hall is about to collapse, and no one repairs it. This Chen Yushi... he put The salary has been used to subsidize Chenjia Village, saying that the ancestral hall in the village will be built into a school, and a poor scholar will be hired to teach children who can’t read twenty or thirty characters. Alas! In short, it’s hard to describe!”

Hao Chun rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle: "Lu Fengchang knows these things clearly."

"No, no, dare not!" Lu Fengchang quickly waved his hands, shaking his head like a rattle. "The whole court knows about his bad idea."

Lu Fengchang suddenly remembered that Chen Yushi had just married Hao Chun and was going to live in Pinglehou's mansion in the future, so he immediately changed his words in frustration. "Xiaguan didn't mean that. Well, Xiaguan just said it so casually. I blame Xiaguan for talking too much!"

Hao Chun patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and comforted him: "It's hard for Lu Feng to make a trip for nothing. Then, what are the betrothal gifts now?"

"It's all shipped back to Taichang Temple." Lu Fengchang wrinkled his face again, and looked at Hao Chun eagerly. "Master Hou, do you see?"

This matter is difficult!After all, it is a royal marriage.

Hao Chun bared his teeth and smiled, raised his eyebrows casually and said, "The results of Qin Tianjian's astrology haven't come out yet?"

"No, Qin Tianjian has been divination for a month, saying that there will be no good days until the end of this year, and it will be spring next year. What do you think, Lord Hou?"

"Let me see? How can I see it, young master?" Hao Chun sneered, and walked out impatiently. "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, I'm so happy that no one cares about me! Let's go, Li Conggui from the Western Suburb Barracks has made an appointment to have a drink at the Anxiang Building, and if Lu Fengchang has time, he will also go to have a few drinks!"

Lu Fengchang hurriedly shrank his neck back, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It's fine to eat wine, and I'm not too young to be an official. There are six wives and concubines in the family, so, let's not get involved with the Xiaowanlou."

When Hao Chun heard the words and turned around, he couldn't help laughing. "It turns out that Lu Fengchang knew about Anxiang Tower!"

"The No. [-] small house in Chang'an City, also known as the Ecstasy Building, who doesn't know?" Lu Fengchang smiled and winked at Hao Chun, his face full of misery. "I know that Lord Hou loves male sex, but is it not good to blatantly go to the small mansion before the wedding?"

"Afraid?"

"Oh, nothing else." Lu Fengchang approached mysteriously again, looked left and right, and said with a low voice, "I'm afraid, this Chen Yushi..."

Hao Chun's eyes widened, and he pretended to be angry with a stern face on purpose: "Master, do I look like a man afraid of guilt? Hmm? Besides, he's not in Chang'an City."

Lu Fengchang thought he understood, and immediately nodded in agreement. "That's right, that's right, a manly man, who can kill the enemy in a bloodbath outside, and when he returns to the back house, he is a brave general who has marched thousands of miles!"

...Why does it sound so weird?

Hao Chun rolled his eyes, and saw Lu Fengchang approaching his ear wretchedly, and teased with a low smile: "I heard that the road for men to live in the house is particularly rugged. The Lord Hou thinks it is worthwhile to say the long march of ten thousand miles. Appropriate for the occasion?"

Hao Chun raised his thick eyebrows, his white eyes turned into blue eyes, he slapped Lu Fengchang on the shoulder vigorously, and smiled obscenely. "Hey, that's a good sentence! Lu Fengchang is very talented!"

"Don't dare to take it." Seeing that he was happy, Lu Feng stepped back half a step with a smile, and cupped his hands. "Master Hou is going to have a drink and have some fun, so I won't bother you if I'm an official, let's take my leave first!"

"Go, go, young master, I will rush to find them too."

Hao Chun casually dismissed Lu Fengchang, the Minister of Taichang Temple, and stepped on the back of Yuhuacong's horse when he went out, still thinking about Chen Jingming.How can this guy be so poor?It's okay to be poor in the past, after all, he is a down-and-out scholar.Now that he is the number one scholar in high school, he has not seen him for a few years, and he has become a fourth-rank official. How can he still owe rent?

"Hey, wait!"

Hao Chun tightened the reins abruptly, turned his head and said to the servants following behind him: "Send 20 taels of silver to Lu Fengchang at the Taichang Temple, and say it's hard for him. The rent owed by the wife of the Marquis in Chang'an City is of course It must be counted in our Pinglehou Mansion, and Lu Fengchang cannot be made to spend money."

Several servant boys looked at each other in blank dismay.

In the late autumn of the tenth year of Yong'an, when Hao Chun left Beijing, he dismissed his personal maid, Xiao Tong, and now these servants are all newcomers who have just been trained by Mr. Wang's servants.His Majesty marrying his Lord Marquis to Mr. Chen from Yushitai is a disgraceful thing in the eyes of the servants.

"Lord Hou," one of the servant boys also rode behind, and said timidly at this moment: "That Mr. Chen...why does he still owe Lu Fengchang money from Taichang Temple?"

Sounds like a very poor and stingy "mother".

Hao Chun stared at him, and said angrily, "None of your business! Just go if I tell you to."

The servant boy had a bad nose, but he didn't dare to do anything else, he hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Go back to the mansion and ask Grandpa Wang for money?"

Hao Chun is not yet married, so all the housekeeping is under the command of Mr. Wang's servants, including money and property.Hao Chun rolled his eyes, thought for a while, then looked at the sky and muttered something to himself. "So poor, I don't know how he lives."

"...Father?"

Hao Chun came back to his senses and impatiently waved his horsewhip. "Go, go back to the mansion to find Manager Wang and take the money back to Lu Fengchang, and take some freshly picked water chestnuts by the way. There are many people transferred from Jiangnan Taoism in Taichang Temple, and they are used to eating this long-winded thing."

"Hey, hey—!"

The servant boy answered the question repeatedly, turned his horse's head and hurried back to Pinglehou's mansion.

Hao Chun led the rest of the servants to the Rapture Building. The building was rich in fat and powder, and when he entered the door, he was surrounded by a few young men and entered the wing room on the second floor.When Li Conggui saw him coming, he immediately stood up to greet him.

"Master Hou, I finally have you here!"

Hao Chun bared his teeth and smiled, Qiu Shui's pupils turned slightly, seeing that the banquet was full of old Chang'an playboys, only Shen Hutou was missing, he knew it in his heart.Since Shen Hutou went to the Western Regions to get him back, he was highly regarded, and he was promoted by half a rank in the Dragon Huben Army, which is naturally different from Li Conggui who died in the western suburbs barracks.

Li Conggui was in a hurry, wishing he could find a way out of him.

"Today, it's costing you money." Hao Chun replied with a smile, sat down, and followed suit. "Come on, let's continue singing the little song. If you have any good songs, just sing!"

"Master Hou, what we are best at in this building is not the melody." A young man snuggling close to Hao Chun's side giggled and winked lightly. "What we are best at is persuading people to drink."

"Oh? What kind of persuasion?" Hao Chunmi squinted and chuckled, pretending not to see where the young man's dishonest hands fumbled.

"Master Hou..."

With the first young lady who succeeded in the test, the rest of the people looked at Li Conggui one after another. Li Conggui gave him a wink, and about seven or eight young servants in the wing all fumbled to Hao Chun's side, and gathered around him like an arhat.

During the banquet, no one mentioned Chen Jingming, the censor Taichung Cheng who didn't know how to flatter.

Hao Chun was also happy that no one mentioned it.Chen Jingming ignored him, he was not happy to see that cold Iceman!I wish I could never get in touch with each other!As for paying back the money for that ice face?It's because he's afraid of losing face in Pinglehou Mansion.

Hao Chun was sitting in the private room with a golden knife, behind the four screens was the sound of silk and bamboo, and there was a tender young man sitting on his lap.Drinking one cup after another is extremely joyful!

"Master Hou!"

"Your Majesty is massive..."

"Master Hou, have another drink!"

"Master Hou, you can't just drink what's in Ah Yan's mouth, so can I!"

Hao Chun didn't refuse anyone who came, he drank all of them upside down, squinted his eyes and giggled and said: "Use your mouth? No way, young master, I have eaten too much fat today, and I can't bear it."

Li Conggui hurriedly laughed at the side, and said loudly: "Master Hou is drunk lying on the lap of a beauty, haha, this kind of ecstasy wine respected by a beauty, you have to drink it for ten or eight days!"

"...It's the hardest thing to bear, beauty." Hao Chun hiccupped and laughed loudly, and the volume of his voice was accidentally raised very high.

The wing rooms on the second floor are all hung with bamboo curtains on all sides, and there is no line of sight behind the paper doors that push and pull each other.Today was just in time for the guests to gather in the Anxiang Building, and the No. [-] room next to Hao Chun's Tianzi No. [-] room was also full.The servant pushed open the door and served wine and food. Hao Chun's shameless laughter came from the No. [-] room with the wind.Behind the screen, Chen Jingming, who was drinking sake with several school officials in Room [-], straightened his back, fisted his hands, and his handsome face turned pale instantly.

"Master Chen, Master Chen?"

Chen Jingming clenched his fists, recovered slowly, and laughed. "It turns out that there is another cave in this Anxiang building, but the students don't understand it and are reckless."

All the academic officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

Although Chen Jingming became a disciple under the name of Cheng Da Sikong in the 14th year of Yong'an, but he was too strict by nature, and he also encountered obstacles in many places when he made friends with Yushitai.Some time ago, Emperor Yong'an granted him a marriage with Marquis Pingle, and the ruler of the Yuezhi Kingdom was the matchmaker. The colleagues at Yushitai were afraid that he would settle accounts after he became powerful, so today five or six people specially raised funds to invite Chen Jingming to have a drink.

The person Chen Jingming wanted to marry, Ping Lehou, was a man, and all the academic officials took it for granted that Chen Jingming naturally liked men too.Furthermore, Marquis Pingle is favored by His Majesty, and the title is placed there. After the marriage, Chen Jingming is probably a "Madam of the Marquis Mansion", so what else?Can only wait to be pressed.

It's a pity.

Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years, but when he arrived at the imperial court, he was proud of himself when he was married off by an imperial gift because he offended Ping Lehou.Although after the marriage was bestowed, Chen Jingming was in business as usual, he should go to court and handle cases, but everyone at Yushitai felt that he was probably not convinced.

Today, all the school officials arranged to entertain Chen Jingming for a drink in the Anxiang Building. It seemed casual, but in fact they took great pains.One is that the word "dark fragrance" is elegant, and the other is that the young ladies are all young and beautiful, so maybe one of them will be able to catch the favor of this Chen Yushi.

If it catches your eye, having some fun secretly before marriage, maybe you can calm down this Chen Yushi's temper?

But now after half an hour at the banquet, the soup is still clear and watery, some people have long been unable to hold back.Seeing that Chen Jingming finally opened his mouth, he smiled and said, "My lord Chen doesn't know something. The word "secret fragrance" was originally praised for having fat fragrance and full sleeves. But a woman is soft and fleshy, no better than this boy..."

The first person opened his mouth, and the rest of the senior officials all had deep smiles on their lips, "Master Chen, you finally know how to do it", and persuaded politely: "Master Chen, can you call a few over and try it out?" This feeling of full sleeves?"

The author has something to say:

Hao Chun: Be happy, young master is really happy today!

Chen Jingming: ... Oh!
