In Yichun Courtyard, the main city of Dingxiguan, although Wang Mang listened to music on the second floor, he kept his eyes on the first floor through the window.

Because there are no private rooms on the first floor, he can clearly see the behavior of the people.

Of course, at first he also wanted to sit on the first floor and get a feel for the situation. But because Wang Jingyan and Shangguan Ningxuan were by his side, it was not good for the two girls to be in that noisy environment, so he came to the second floor to be quiet.

At this moment, on the first floor, the middle-aged man who came in behind was very domineering and forcibly occupied the position of a guest.

As for the two mighty servants he had brought, they stood on the left and right, seemingly as bodyguards, guarding his safety.

Once he was seated, he began to watch carefully as the young women danced on the high platform in the center of the first floor. Cheering loudly, clapping his hands continuously, he didn't look like a heroic soldier at all.

While cheering, he urged the little maids to bring all kinds of snacks.

In a short moment, the table in front of him was filled with twenty or thirty kinds of special dishes, all the chicken, duck and fish meat, and a few pots of good wine.

He was eating and drinking and shouting, and he was very noisy.

As for the guest who was driven aside by him, his face turned pale, but he didn't say anything, let alone go up to theorize, he chose a new seat and sat down.

Of course, this is also because the maidservant of Yichun Courtyard stepped forward to persuade this person to say a few words, and this person did not leave angrily.

As for the other guests, they seemed to know the identity of this person, so they didn't pay attention to it, and they didn't see it, but they were slightly unhappy in their hearts.

These guests basically maintained a good etiquette posture, even if they were pretending, but they still didn't have anything too rude, except for this middle-aged man.

After Wang Mang saw this situation, he was also slightly unhappy. He basically saw that this middle-aged man seemed to be a local tyrant, extremely strong, and no one else dared to provoke him.

Wang Mang thought for a while, and said to Shangguan Ning Xuan: "Ning Xuan, you can sit here with Jingyan for a while, and I'll go down and take a look." ”

Shangguan Ningxuan was stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile: "Xianggong, I'll go around with you." You're alone, I'm not very reassured. ”

"You? What are you doing with it? Here, there will be no problem, I'll come over soon. Wang Mang said.

Yueqing, who was playing the piano, opened her mouth and said: "Miss Shangguan, don't worry, here, there is absolutely no one who dares to make trouble, you want to walk around, presumably because it is boring here." I don't have to worry about Miss, don't worry, let him go around. ”

Shangguan Ningxuan shook her head, "Xianggong, I didn't care about it before, but now, wherever you go, I will follow you." I'm not used to pinning my hopes in others. That brother of yours is the best example, that kind of thing, I don't want to see it anymore, I'm afraid. I'm relieved only if I've been following you. ”

"My brother?" Wang Mang thought for a while, and then understood what she meant.

This is because Shangguan Ningxuan is afraid of accidents, afraid of being a widow again, and wants to protect Wang Mang all the time.

"Okay, you can follow. But it's a bit of a business for me to go around here, so you don't want to get too close to me, so as not to have too much trouble. ”

Wang Jingyan hurriedly said: "Xianggong, I will also go." ”

"You? What are you going to do? You sit here, I'll be there soon. Wang Mang answered, left the private room, and walked towards the first floor.

Shangguan Ningxuan followed, and said to Wang Jingyan: "Jingyan, with me by your side, everything is worry-free, you can just sit here for a while with peace of mind." ”

"Hmph, you two aren't good people." Wang Jingyan had no choice, waved his small fist to demonstrate, and then sat honestly in place.

Wang Mang went down to the private room on the second floor, and after coming to the first floor, he didn't waste time wandering, but came to a little next to the middle-aged man and sat down.

As for Shangguan Ningxuan, because Wang Mang had spoken first, she did not approach, but watched Wang Mang from afar.

After Wang Mang sat down, he paid attention to the middle-aged man while admiring the dance.

In a flash, another half an hour passed. Outside, the sky is getting darker and darker, but inside, it is getting more and more lively, and the number of people is increasing. Even some of the people who came later, a few of them were as domineering as the middle-aged man Wang Mang was concerned about.

The dancing girls changed batch after batch, all of them were outstanding and beautiful like flowers.

After Wang Mang drank a small half pot of wine, he seemed to be a little drunk, or a little bold.

He got up and walked over to the middle-aged man's table and sat down generously.

When the middle-aged man saw this situation, he frowned and was very unhappy.

However, when he smelled the smell of wine on Wang Mang's body, he did not scold him loudly, and it was expected that Wang Mang had drunk too much, and his mind was a little unclear.

This person did not open his mouth to scold, and the guards standing on his left and right naturally did not speak rashly. At this moment, the two guards just glared at Wang Mang fiercely, with a look of vigilance.

After Wang Mang sat down, he said to the middle-aged man: "This benevolent brother is polite below." My brother Guan Ren is extraordinary, generous, and heroic. I don't know who Brother Ren is? Can you talk about it and listen to it? ”

When the middle-aged man heard Wang Mang's praise, he felt a little better, "I'm Zhang Hu, and I'm not a master, just an unemployed vagrant, it's nothing." ”

The guests next to them were shocked when they saw that Wang Mang dared to take the initiative to talk to this Zhang Hu, and was also sitting on Zhang Hu's table, feeling that Wang Mang was going to be unlucky, and he actually provoked Zhang Hu. At the same time, they all feel that wine is really harmful.

"Zhang Hu?"

Wang Mang said: "Brother Zhang, the younger brother has not been here for a long time, but he doesn't know the general situation here. I have only heard that Lord Wang once had a strict order not to be extravagant and wasteful, nor to bully others.

I see that you just drove another guest away, and ordered another thirty or forty dishes, can you eat them all by yourself? I'm afraid there's something wrong with that, right? If the king tracks it down, wouldn't it be troublesome? ”

"Tracking? Hahaha..."The two guards standing on Zhang Hu's left and right laughed unscrupulously, looking indifferent.

Zhang Hu also said: "This is a trivial matter, Lord Wang will not trouble me." Besides, I didn't kill people and set fires. But little brother, you are so daring, you dare to accuse me to your face, are you not afraid that I will abolish you? ”

Wang Mang caught the disdainful gaze of the two guards behind Zhang Hu at a glance, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and sighed secretly. I feel that even if I promulgate all kinds of good policies, it will be difficult to be perfect after all, and there will still be many people who break the rules. Not everyone can follow the rules.

"Won't bother you? Could it be that you and Lord Wang have old problems? ”
