Should the soul

After Xiao Tang Hou came out of the palace, he first went to Nanshi to buy wine and meat, and then returned to Cheng Guogong's mansion with the wine and meat. He set the table, turned out the mirror, and greeted Huang Daxian and Wang Pu. At this time, the sky was getting dark. Before Wang Pu came back, Huang Daxian came first, and the two sat down cross-legged and began to talk.

Kong Jie: "I have a showdown with my sister-in-law."

Huang Daxian stared blankly, meaning: Is it the sister-in-law I was thinking of?

Kong Jie nodded.

Huang Daxian looked Kong Jie up and down, and asked nervously, "What did you say? What did you say?"

Kong Jie: "Hey, I just said a little bit and didn't say anything. Anyway, she knows... eh, don't worry, let's deal with this idea first. What I taboo now is being called by the name of my previous life. I will Respond, right? In fact, as long as the other party doesn’t call me and I don’t respond, it’s fine? It’s like you know who I am, and I’m fine, right?”

Huang Daxian: "But the empress can control it, she is your relative, and she is also a woman..."

"Well," Kong Jie immediately retorted: "She is not an ordinary woman, ten men can't compare to a woman like her, if I play tricks in front of her, I will be seen through, so I might as well confess to myself, so as not to be blind After a lot of tossing, besides she is shrewd, the so-called 'best policy' may not be the 'best policy' in her opinion, and the stupid bad policy may become the best policy instead."

Wong Da Sin: ...

He has nothing to say, the little Tang Hou dared to take advantage of the matter of life and death, what else could he say?

But that's not what Xiao Tanghou really wanted to ask Huang Daxian. He was more concerned about: "Why did I faint?"

And he slept for a longer time this time. Kong Jie recounted a series of feelings after he met his sister-in-law, warm, comfortable, intimate, and his emotions were violently impacted, and then he suddenly lost consciousness.

This is terrible, if he suddenly faints while working outside, what should we do?

Huang Daxian looked at his body for him, but he didn't find any serious illness, and he couldn't explain the situation, so he had to give up.

While the two were talking, the door suddenly opened. It was Wang Pu who came back. He was a little tanned, and while changing his shoes after closing the door, he greeted the two people in the room cheerfully: "I saw the note coming. What is the festival today? How did you arrange the wine and meat?"

The conversation between Kong Jie and Huang Daxian just now came to an end. Kong Jie smiled, put one face on the table, facing himself and Wang Pu, and said with a smile: "Wang Pu, look who this is?"

What was reflected in the mirror was Kong Jie's appearance, but his demeanor was not in sync with Kong Jie's. Wang Pu just glanced at it and widened his eyes in surprise: "This is... this is..."

The child in the mirror smiled and greeted him: "Long time no see, Wang Pu."

Wang Pu's eyes straightened, and he rushed to the edge of the table, looked in the mirror in disbelief, and then looked at the two Kong Jie outside the mirror, his voice trembling with excitement: "So you are still there! You are still there!" exist!"

The young man in the mirror is the one Wang Pu is familiar with. He has obedient eyes, loves to be clean, picky eaters, timid, and stubborn. This soft and clean temperament cannot be faked by the possessed ghost man next to him. No matter how obedient and timid the old man is on weekdays, Wang Pu also feels that he is going to make waves when he goes out, and the one who makes waves is still going to fight for the elder brother. Now Kong Jie in the mirror has a beautiful face, which is true.

Wang Pu was very excited: "I thought I would never see you again, it's great, you're still alive."

Little Tang Hou couldn't help laughing: "Of course he's alive, I'm just borrowing his body for a while, and I'll leave by myself when the time comes."

Wang Pu looked at Xiao Tanghou at a loss: "Then...how will I call you from now on?"

Little Tang Hou smiled and pointed to himself: "Big Kong Jie." He pointed to the mirror: "Little Kong Jie."

Wang Pu nodded vigorously: "Hey!"

Little Tang Hou could see that Wang Pu was really happy. Although he had used some brains before, most of them were forced by the environment. After all, Kong Jie was the one who got along with him day and night. He still sincerely hoped that he would It can be fine.

Everyone is ready, and we can start chatting. Little Tang Hou started to tune in first, "Wang Pu, are you familiar with Luo Mansion? Look at my face," he said, pointing to his bandage, "I'll go into the palace, I don't know anything, Concubine Luo slapped me first when she saw me, did Xiao Kong Jie offend them?"

Wang Pu was stunned when he asked this question: "She slapped you, why?"

Tang Fang: "I don't know, I'm new here not long ago, so I'm asking you, what's the situation in Luofu in this Dongdu?"

The old boy in front of him once pimped the Luo Mansion, so he must be very clear about the situation, Wang Pu didn't try to stop him, and said, "I know, I have some contacts with them. I was a doorman."

Little Tang Hou, who was tearing the meat and mixing the sauce, stopped immediately:? ? ?

The little Kong Jie in the mirror took the initiative to explain: "There is such a thing. When Mr. Luo Shiyu was in the mansion, he lived next to me, which is now Wang Pu's room."

"... such a deep relationship?"

Little Tanghou smirked dishonestly at little Kong Jie: "No wonder the one called you by name, you've been coveting for a long time!"

The child in the mirror glared at Xiao Tanghou angrily: "It's nothing, Mr. Luo is not familiar with me at all."

Tang Fang didn't take these words to heart, and quickly poured wine for Wang Pu, Huang Daxian, and Kong Jie in order: "Tell me, what's going on."

Wang Pu began his lecture, "Luo Shiyu and Luo Shiqing are brothers and sisters from Xiling. In their early years, their family ran a small dyeing business. They fell into disrepair. They were always humiliated by their rich brother-in-law. After going down, I came to Dongdu. Luo Shiyu is a man who is proud and arrogant. He has some skills. He is not very good at buying real estate, but he loves to read and has something in his mind. He came to Dongdu because he wanted to win Qiancheng, do you know that the east gate of the imperial city is also called 'Dragon Gate'?"

Little Tang Hou nodded: "I've heard a little bit about it."

Wang Pu: "The imperial city of our eastern capital is in the northwest corner of the city. Outside the north gate and west gate of the imperial city are the outer city walls. The flow of people is not that important. The south gate is the main gate for officials to go to court. The palace is tall and large, and outside it are the residences of various yamen and nobles, and the east gate is the daily use of the palace gate, which also has a function, which is to accept letters from officials and folks. His Majesty said this soon after he moved to the capital. "Four alchemists can talk about gains and losses", so there is a word among the people called "Longmen Wangyu". Once the documents you vote for win the emperor's favor, you will immediately have a way to be promoted directly. Straight across the Dragon Gate."

Little Marquis Tang was puzzled: "Isn't the East Gate overcrowded every day?"

Wang Pu: "That's right! Many people have been waiting in the East Gate for many years, and most of them have never been summoned once."

Xiao Tanghou: "Has Luo Shiyu also tried this method?"

Wang Pu: "No, no, Mr. Luo is very smart. He didn't take the matter of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge. He managed to squeeze his way into Duke Cheng's mansion."

Little Tang Hou: ...

Wang Pu: "Actually, the Duke's Mansion is very good. You can pass through five barriers and come in. As long as you are flexible and diligent, don't have unrealistic fantasies. In just half a year, it is enough for diners to earn you a living in your hometown. Five years of savings, I’m not talking about behind-the-scenes money here, the Duke of the State doesn’t give much behind-the-scenes money, but if you find some work in this mansion, all you get in contact with are high-ranking officials and dignitaries. They promote us little people a little , we just can’t get enough of it. But Mr. Luo, he didn’t turn this matter around at the time. He always felt that his ambition could be displayed here. The Duke of the Kingdom is the person His Majesty relies on the most. Don't you recommend him directly to His Majesty? Isn't this faster than 'Looking at the Dragon Gate'?"

Little Tang Hou: ...

He seems to understand the trend of Master Luo.

as predicted.

Wang Pu said: "This is the first grievance of Mr. Luo. In terms of talent, learning and hard work, he has it. He is much better than us disciples, but after he performed in front of the Duke once, he was left out in the cold. Just after the first three months, he was kicked out of the house - there are many things to say about this matter, some say that the Duke is jealous, so he doesn't recommend it to Mr. Luo, and some say that the Duke is a general and can't discern the pearl ...In short, Luo Shiyu, who is not young, is living in more and more embarrassment. Obviously many people are fooling around, and after a few years they can always make a name for themselves. However, the more he muddles around, the worse he is. He used to work as a pawn in the Northwest Liaison Office. He was in his 30s and ran around like a teenager. His younger sister, who is now the imperial concubine, couldn't cope with the expenses of the Eastern Capital, so she went to the noble mansion to work as a kabuki. "

Little Tang Hou frowned deeply: "Don't they have any friends? Did the fellow villagers help them?"

Wang Pu shrugged: "It's not about helping the poor. Besides, their fellow countrymen seem to have a bad relationship with them. They have always regarded their brothers and sisters as a joke. I heard that the imperial concubine once stole for Mr. Jiluo when she was a kabuki. When he was discovered, he was thrown to the ground and beaten by a group of domestic slaves."

Little Tang Hou's heart trembled.

He thought of that woman Luo Shiqing, she was really a beautiful woman, she was dressed in grape brown and night purple, such an uncontrollable color was so perfect for her, especially her eyes, the inner eyelids were very sharp, and the ends of the eyes were very sharp. She is naturally upward, and when she opens her eyes to look at people, there is a peach blossom-like intoxication, a small oval face with those eyes, and a natural charm and coquettishness.

In fact, the sister-in-law is already a first-class beauty, with a bright and majestic appearance, a high and straight nose, a steady face, sexy and thick lips, a calm atmosphere, a pair of long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, all of which are intelligent and alert.

According to the standard of elder brother appreciating women, Luo Shiqing and elder sister-in-law are opposite opposite extremes. Luo is walking in a charming style. When the emperor sees it, the king's heart is in turmoil. Moreover, this woman's skin and body are well maintained, and her figure is slim. She was thin and thin, and she couldn't tell that she had given birth—even if she thought about it now, the demeanor of this beloved concubine could still shock the little Tang Hou. He couldn't imagine that this was a woman who had experienced hard times.

Wang Pu: "It's also because of this incident that Mr. Luo decided to resign himself to fate and give it a go. If it doesn't work, he will bring his sister back to his hometown."

Tang Fang: "Longmen Wangyu?"

Wang Pu: "Yes, looking at the tower at Longmen! This is the second strange thing about Master Luo. Many people have waited in Longmen for many years and could not wait to be summoned once, but Lord Luo's letter that day was somehow captured by His Majesty's hounds." Inadvertently biting a little bit, the eunuch of the royal dog held the memorial and pleaded guilty to His Majesty, His Majesty opened it casually, and summoned Luo Shiyu at night—the morning performance and the evening call, this is something that has never happened in Longmen. After accepting the emperor's policy question, His Majesty admired him very much after seeing him, and promoted him by leapfrogging in a short period of time. Not long after, the emperor met Luo Shiyu's younger sister, and fell in love with him at first sight and entered the palace. Pregnancy, from then on, the Luo family's chickens and dogs ascended to heaven."

Tang Fang breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, he still likes the story of getting what he wants.

After hearing what Wang Pu said, he was relieved a lot. The older brother favored his ministers, and the younger sister favored his concubine. Their family's popularity rose rapidly because of their elder brother's willingness to pamper them. Brother, after all, the only person they can rely on for their chances in life is the emperor—and, Concubine Luo does not seem to have a very good brain. She can cause minor troubles, but she shouldn't cause major troubles.

Wang Pu looked at Kong Jie's expression and immediately said, "No, this story is not over yet."

Little Tang Hou raised his head, surprised: "There is more?" Looking at the expressions of Xiao Kong Jie and Huang Daxian in the mirror, it seems that the matter is not small, "Then you continue to talk, what else?"

Wang Pu smiled wryly: "The most famous thing about this Luo Mansion is not the previous incidents. What they are most famous for is that they liquidated all those who despised their brothers and sisters back then, and launched demonstrations and revenge against everyone who treated them badly."
