Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, it was already dark, and the two big red lanterns hung high in front of the door illuminated the men who came in and out, some came in groups of three or two, and some met at the door, greeted each other, and then put their arms in.
On the second floor were richly decorated rooms, some of the doors were closed, and from time to time there was the sound of men's lewd or hearty laughter, but the woman's delicate voice came from the room where the door was ajar.
The corridor leading to these rooms was covered with a thick carpet, and there was no sound when guests walked on it, and from time to time guests walked by with girls dressed in fancy clothes, and some scantily dressed maidservants carried red lacquered trays with wine and snacks on them.
At the end of the corridor to the left of the room, the door is closed, in the room is about forty years old, a thin man sits alone drinking, next to a bewitching woman holding a wine jug, from time to time for the man to refill the wine, the man one hand on the woman's towering and full breasts kneaded, with a heavy force, the woman gasped low.
Someone outside the door whispered, "Is Zhang Shisanlang here?" ”
The man snorted at the woman, who obediently got up and went over to open the door. She only wore a thin veil on her body, and when she walked, her chest was turbulent, and two cherries were even more looming, which made people salivate. As soon as the door opened, the eyes of the people outside the door widened suddenly, staring at the woman's crisp breasts, and they couldn't take their eyes off it anymore.
The woman was used to rolling in the wind and dust, and she had long been accustomed to seeing such a look at the man, so she glanced at the man and said, "Lang Jun, please come in." ”
The man walked inside, took two steps, glanced back at the woman's crisp breasts, and the light under the corridor shone on the man's face, isn't it Huo Guang's fourth son, Huo Yu?
The door closed behind him, and the middle-aged man who was sitting and drinking had already gotten up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Shiro is late, he should be punished." Then he said to the woman who was with him, "Go out, and you must not come in unless you are called." ”
Half of the guests who come here are really greedy for beauty, and half of them use sex as a medium, talk about business, make friends with each other, and look at this situation, these two people are clearly using sex as a medium to find a place to talk. The woman responded obediently, curtsied and retreated, and did not forget to explain to the maid who came over to eat when she went out.
Huo Yu sat opposite the middle-aged man, his face turned cold, and said, "Mrs. Zhang often invited me to meet at the Flower Pavilion, for what?" ”
This man's name is Zhang Mian, and he is now too often. He is often in charge of the temple affairs, and his subordinate institutions are huge and complex, and there are many personnel. People in this era pay more attention to the things of ghosts and gods, and the Wu Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, and the temple sacrifices are the most despised, so although Taichang is not responsible for daily administrative affairs, he is the head of Jiuqing, in addition to the general and the prime minister, he is the first person in the dynasty.
He is Huo Guang's person, loyal to Huo Guang, and ambitious, if it weren't for his too big ambition, Huo Guang felt that he was not very obedient, and the position of prime minister would not be Su Zhi, but his.
Huo Guang retired and asked them, his henchmen, to serve the current emperor for a good life, and not to disagree with the emperor just because the emperor was young. They first knelt down and begged Huo Guang to continue to be in power and not to return to the emperor, but after failing to do so, they said that they would follow Huo Guang's instructions and be loyal to the emperor.
After Huo Guang didn't hear about politics, there were people who were loyal to Liu Xun in accordance with the contract, but people like Zhang Mian realized that the imperial court was about to change blood, either the emperor purged Huo Guang's old department, or the emperor appointed Huo Guang's old department unsuspectingly, if this is the case, then it is the best, what he wants to fight for is to go further and sit in the seat of Su Zhi.
What he didn't expect was that he was still observing, and before he had time to act, the news of Su Zhi's illness came out. Su Zhi's illness came strangely, he used the excuse of visiting the patient, but he failed to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone see Su Zhi. At the same time, all kinds of news flew around, and there was no way to distinguish the truth from the false, so he invited Huo Yu to come to learn about the situation from him so that he could take further action.
Huo Yu is Huo Guang's favorite young son, but since Huo Guang retreated, the scenery is no longer there, and a depressed and uneven atmosphere in his chest cannot be removed.
"Do you have to have something to do to have a drink with Shiro?" Zhang Mian smiled and poured the wine glass in front of Huo Yu, and said, "I haven't seen Shiro for a few days, I don't know what I've been busy with recently?" ”
It's good that he didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Huo Yu was full of complaints, he used to be the son of General Huo Da, who was in a hurry to slap him? Now that Huo Guang has retired, people go to tea and cool, and the old department will be in love again. It is impossible for him to ask for it as much as before, and his attitude towards him has also changed subtly, and he has tasted the warmth and coldness of people.
Zhang Mian listened while pouring wine for him, occasionally interjecting a sentence, but he pointed the finger at Cheng Mo: "Sister Ling's son-in-law is a popular person in front of His Majesty, as long as he takes care of it a little, who dares to make Shiro angry?" ”
"Oh, don't mention my good sister-in-law." Huo Yu sneered: "This ungrateful guy only has the emperor in his eyes, how can he have a father?" Not to mention me. ”
"How so?" Zhang Mian pretended to be surprised and said: "You and Sister Ling are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and for Sister Ling's sake, he can't help but take care of you." ”
Huo Yu said angrily: "The little sister is blind, and it is just a matter of letting the noble ministers of the Manchu Dynasty look down on her, even the emperor can't look down on her, but she was deceived by this scoundrel." ”
He didn't say that he had gone to Cheng Mansion three or four times to find trouble with Cheng Mo, but he blamed Huo Shuhan for not marrying Cheng Mo.
Zhang Mianqi said: "Even Your Majesty can't look down on it? ”
Who doesn't know that Huo Xian wanted to send a woman into the palace as the queen, or Liu Xun had to change his words and ask the Xu family to be the queen on the grounds that Liu Xun had a deep love for the sword, and there were many people in the court who knew about this matter, how could it be said that Huo Shuhan didn't look down on the emperor?
Huo Yu took a sip of wine and said irritably: "Don't talk about the past." ”
Zhang Mian didn't ask again, and said: "Cheng Weiwei is not shallow, Su Zhi actually married his daughter to him." ”
In fact, when Liu Xun succeeded to the throne and named Cheng Mo as the Marquis of Yongchang, he also had the idea of marrying his daughter to Cheng Mo, Cheng Mo did not have a wife at that time, but he had a marriage contract with Zhao Yufei, a civilian woman, he didn't take it to heart, the reason why he didn't implement it was because after his wife gave birth to two sons, he didn't give birth, and his three daughters were all born to concubines, how could he fantasize about being worthy of the marquis? Now that Huo Guang and Su Zhi have married their daughters to Cheng Motuo, his heart is sour.
