White Hedge Dream

Chapter 24 Hearing

"Hua Xiaoxian."

In the upper room of Changle Tea House in the capital, Fourth Young Master Xue read out the name and then spat.

"What bad luck!"

As he spoke, he patted himself and raised his sleeves to sniff.

"My grandmother made me smoke ashes in the Buddhist hall for half a day. I'm already smelly. If I go to see Little Mingzhu tonight, she will definitely not allow me to kiss her."

Xiao Mingzhu is a famous female prostitute in Huanxiang Tower in Beijing.

The Fourth Young Master Xue was not qualified to see her earlier. It was only in the past few years that my grandmother became a royal relative and became favored by beauties.

There were seven or eight young men sitting in this teahouse, including Li Juro and Zhang Jiuro. Because the incident was caused by them and everyone was in trouble, a banquet was set up to express their apology.

Hearing this, Li Julang, with swollen eyes, leaned against the back of the chair and waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, little brother Xue, I'll let Yingying'er stay with you for three days!"

Ying Ying'er is also a famous prostitute, and she is in Li Julang's pocket, and is rarely seen by others.

Fourth Young Master Xue was overjoyed to have a beautiful woman accompany him, not to mention that this was a gift from Li Shilang! Although his grandmother was a relative of the royal family, Fourth Young Master Xue knew that the weight of this royal relative could not be compared with that of the powerful Li family.

If he is willing to give up his beauty, he treats him as a brother!

"Juro is so generous!" He praised.

Zhang Jiulang also touched his palms and laughed, and said teasingly: "Jiulang is such a heroic gentleman, no wonder Hua Xiaoxian won't follow me even to death."

Because this woman came to Jingzhao Mansion to make trouble, even though nothing happened, she was scolded by the elders in the family. However, the two did not have any bad feelings, but instead cherished each other. Li Julang even gave Zhang Jiulang a gift as an apology. Two beautiful maids.

Hearing Zhang Jiulang's words, Li Julang spat: "That stupid woman! I thought she was smart and well-behaved, but I didn't expect that she would be so useless and ruin the fun of you and my brothers." He waved his hand and said, "I will be the host today. Please go and get rid of bad luck.”

Everyone in the room cheered wildly, and Fourth Young Master Xue even stood up: "Juro is too polite, but he was just asked by Jingzhao Mansion. Since we were young, none of us have ever dealt with Jingzhao Mansion. It's not a big deal." , but at that time my family was hosting a banquet for Mrs. Dongyang Hou and her new daughter-in-law, which made the guests laugh..."

Zhang Jiulang sighed: "Zhou Jingyun's new wife went to your house? Didn't she say she couldn't go out?"

Since Zhou Jingyun sent his new wife back, countless invitations and invitations have been sent to the Dongyang Marquis Mansion, but they were all rejected. Mrs. Dongyang Marquis did not even leave the house, and even the Ding'an Bo Mansion could not see this new wife, and no one could see her. Even the discussion was not interesting.

This sentence made everyone else excited, "What about the new sequel?"

Seeing that all eyes were focused on him, Mr. Xue became more energetic.

Compared with his grandmother's status as a royal relative, what made Mr. Xue even more proud was that he was related to Zhou Jingyun.

Although they disdained studying and practicing martial arts, they were jealous and envious of a noble man like Zhou Jingyun who was astonishing in both civil and military skills. They were secretly proud to be able to associate with Zhou Jingyun.

"Yes, if he doesn't go to other people's homes, how can we not go to ours?" Mr. Xue said, "I brought my new wife here specifically to visit my grandmother..."

Zhang Jiulang interrupted him and asked: "What does the bride look like?"

When Zhou Jingyun refused to renew his relationship, the women all believed that he was deeply in love with his deceased wife, while the men had different views.

Zhou Jingyun is either waiting to find the daughter of a powerful person who will be beneficial to his future, or he is looking for a beautiful woman from a beautiful country.

"At least she is as beautiful as Empress Jiang." Li Julang said.

The reason why Empress Chiang is called the Demon Empress is not only because she does many evil things like a monster, but also because she is as beautiful as a monster. Otherwise, she would not have confused the late Emperor, who not only made her the queen, but also allowed her to do whatever he wanted.

Everyone became more interested and asked Mr. Xue: "Is the bride really beautiful?"

Fourth Young Master Xue said: "I haven't seen this either."

That's a female guest.

Although he could see her as a relative, he hung out too late at night and hid during the day to catch up on his sleep. He didn't go to his grandmother's place at all.

Seeing everyone's disappointed expressions, Mr. Xue hurriedly continued: "But I asked my sister."

In fact, it was not him who took the initiative to ask. It was Mrs. Xue Wu who came to teach him not to cause trouble outside, and asked him to apologize to his eldest aunt, so as not to make the Dongyang Marquis Mansion dissatisfied with him. The Crown Prince of Zhou is coming back, and he will definitely be reused by His Majesty when he comes back. .

He became impatient, changed the topic and asked how was Zhou Shizi's bride?

"My sister said," Mr. Xue recalled, "he is a very interesting person."

The young men around him booed, "What is this called?" "Please tell me whether it looks good or not."

But some young men laughed and waved their hands to stop asking: "Since a woman doesn't praise a woman's appearance, then her appearance is not worthy of praise."

"That's right, if you don't talk about appearance and talk about manners, then there is nothing to say about appearance." Another person also nodded and said. Fourth Young Master Xue nodded: "Yes, my sister didn't mention her appearance at all. Also, Zhou Jingyun's little wife even told my grandmother about her appearance."

Code? A group of housewives giving lectures? It’s not like a scholar is reciting poems and correcting them. Everyone is puzzled: “What canon?”

"Lao Dan lost his mother." Mr. Xue said.

His sister said a long paragraph, but he didn't remember it or understand it.

The young masters here were quite familiar with the old bustard, and were about to ask him who he was, when a laugh broke out first.

"O-"

"He's actually a Taoist."

Everyone in the room followed the sound and saw a young man wearing a white robe lying on the bed in the tea room. He was originally facing in, but now he was turning around, stretching his arms, legs and feet as he turned. A bit tired.

Seeing him, Mr. Xue hurriedly said hello.

"Shangguan Yuezhen is awake."

I am also confused about what Shangguan Yue said, Taoist? Taoist temple?

Li Julang then asked: "Tao? Is this little lady a nun? It's not right for nuns to like to take classes and lectures on Buddhist scriptures. Then how can they get married?"

Shangguan Yue sat up, the sun was shining brightly at this time, and his face was white and bright. He was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with bright and handsome eyebrows, a bit frivolous at the ends, and a smile in his eyes, which seemed friendly and yet drunk.

The young man, whose surname was Shangguan but could not be listed in the genealogy, seemed to be unaccustomed to appearing in the daytime. He raised his sleeves over his head to cover himself with a shadow.

"I was half asleep when I heard you talking about Lao Dan. Aren't you talking about Taoism?" He said, yawning, and changed the topic that these dudes didn't understand and were not interested in. "It's just a little girly idiot." After jumping into the river, are you going to talk about the world? Then I can deal with the beautiful women on my boat. "

Everyone in the room was laughing and talking, "I'm so sleepy." "We're talking about Zhou Jingyun's bride." "You can't even think about plotting against my wine and beauty."

Shangguan Yue smiled: "It's too boring to talk about Lao Dan Zhuangzi's bride. I'm not from this world, so I don't want to talk about it." Without waiting for anyone to say anything else, he put his sleeves on his head and said, "It's really hard to walk around in this blue sky in the daytime." It makes me uncomfortable. Juro, please bring me some tea and wine on the boat."

Shangguan Yue, like his building boat, would only appear at night, wandering around the Jinshui River and never appear during the day. This time, he was first questioned by Jingzhao Mansion and then pulled in by Li Shilang to apologize.

Everyone laughed again. Li Julang waved his sleeves and promised to buy a boatload of drinks. While he was laughing and joking, a servant knocked on the door.

"Xiao Lang, I want you to go home." The voice outside the door said.

Hearing this, several young men in the hall wanted to curse.

She thought it was a servant of her own family, but a little female prostitute died, and the elders actually wanted to interrupt their social interaction! It was really humiliating. When the door was opened and I took a closer look at the people, they all became quiet again.

This is Shangguan Yue's servant. He is almost fifty years old and is called Rui Bo.

Shangguan Yue said oh and stood up.

Zhangkuro, Lijuro and others also stood up.

"Xiao Lang, you will be reprimanded by the consort for being troubled." Zhang Jiulang said.

Shangguan Yue laughed: "This is a good thing, otherwise how could I see my father?" At this point, his eyes turned again, and he smiled, "I should thank that little lady, what is that little lady's name?"

Zhang Jiulang and others suddenly laughed.

Although this concubine was recognized by Shangguan's family, she was never included in the family tree because of the princess's rage. She was not qualified to live in the princess's mansion, and Shangguan's consort could not easily see his son.

Now that his son is involved in a murder case, the father must see and ask questions, and it is not easy for the princess to stop him.

"Whatever her name is." Li Shilang said with a smile, pushing Shangguan Yue, "Go quickly, go quickly, leave early and come back early, don't delay the evening sailing."

Shangguan Yue laughed and said, "Don't worry." After saying that, he walked out and Ruibo lowered his head and opened the door.

"My dad is still waiting for me at the back door?"

"yes."
