On the eve of Wang Li Kun's trip to Chengdu, he invited Huangfu Jixun to talk secretly, and asked Huangfu Jixun's movements, if he could, he would make friends and win over, Zhou Xuan is Li Jian's friend, although he has no power or position, but if he can alienate Li Jian, it will be a heavy blow to the East Palace, King Jing also said with a fierce look: "Zhou Xuan, this person is really hateful, he has humiliated this king, this king will never let him go, when the big thing has been decided, it is not too late to clean him up, he must let him live rather than die, let him understand the tragic end of robbing favor with a king of destiny!" ”

Huangfu Jixun didn't take Zhou Xuan in his eyes at first, and thought: "What is there to win over this kind of white ding!" Unexpectedly, King Jing left Beijing for only two days, and the queen recognized Zhou Xuan as her nephew, and then was named the Marquis of Xinzhou, the Marquis of Xinzhou is just a title and has no authority, and the Emperor Jixun does not care much.

Late the night before yesterday, Wei Bo, who secretly arrived in Beijing, visited Huangfu Jixun at night, and Huangfu Jixun instructed Wei Bo to cry in front of the emperor, striving to use Wei Jue's death to bring down Zhou Xuan, even if Wei Jue was not killed by Zhou Xuan, but as long as Zhou Xuan or Zhou Xuan's men could be caught and questioned, then there would be any evidence, but I didn't expect the emperor to obviously favor Zhou Xuan, but strictly ordered Wei Bo not to go out of Beijing, Huangfu Jixun was impressed with Zhou Xuan, and got the exact news in the morning, three days later, that is, on February 14, Zhou Xuan will be formally agreed in the Qinzheng Palace. The emperor's meaning is very clear, he hopes that Zhou Xuan will enter the cabinet, and he has not been so fast, he has soared into the sky.

Therefore, Huangfu Jixun invited Zhou Xuan to the banquet, tested it, and prepared to make friends, and listened to Zhou Xuanda pour bitter water and said that Jinling was not easy to live in, and there was no house to live in. When he gave the mansion of Xiangluanfang to Zhou Xuan, he thought that he had given a great favor.

Zhou Xuan didn't think so, and said in his heart: "That mansion was originally given to me by the emperor as a marquis mansion, and it can no longer be regarded as your Huangfu Jixun's private property, only I, Zhou Xuan, can do the thing of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and your Huangfu Jixun also wants to come like this, buddy doesn't appreciate it!" On the surface, he smiled and smiled, and talked about some cockfighting, wind and snow, which seemed to be good for money, good goods and lustful.

Huangfu Jixun sneered in his heart: "It's just a man with no ambitions and a good voice." Maybe he is a little quick and a little talented, but he is definitely not a person who has achieved great things, and I overestimate him, even if he is a scholar of Jixian Palace. The emperor is old, once the dragon returns to heaven, according to the covenant of the brothers, King Jing's accession to the throne is expected by all. The little Xinzhou Hou can afford any wind and waves, and the mansion of Xiangluanfang can be borrowed from him for a few days. ”

The guests and hosts each had their own thoughts, and their faces were harmonious, pushing the cup and changing the lamp. Watching the dance and listening to the music, it is very harmonious.

Zhou Xuan's alcohol consumption is good, but compared to Huangfu Jixun. It's still far from it. Drunk. I heard the sound of more priests in the distance, and it was three watches. He staggered to his feet and said, "Ben Hou has never drunk like this, and it is really a pleasure to drink with General Huangfu, good wine!" Wine! ”

Huangfu Jixun said with a smile: "Hou Ye is drunk, why not rest overnight in our place, the young general will choose two beautiful prostitutes to accompany him, and ensure that Hou Ye is happy and like a fairy." ”

Zhou Xuanqi squinted his drunken eyes and said: "House prostitute, let Ben Hou take a look, Ben Hou loves the little house prostitute the most." ”

Huangfu Jixun was also generous, and with a summons, more than 20 domestic prostitutes with beautiful makeup and clothes poured out of the back hall, all of them young and beautiful, with flowing eyes and slender postures.

Huangfu Jixun waved his hand: "Master Hou, please choose two maids to sleep, as long as Lord Hou can afford to eat, you can choose ten." ”

Zhou Xuan was drunk and clear, and looked at Huangfu Jixun and the beauties in the room with a smile, Huangfu Jixun is now like a turtle in a brothel!

The four idiots pulled Zhou Xuan's sleeves behind him, and said in his ear: "Master, don't pretend to be too much, go back." ”

Zhou Xuan staggered, held the shoulders of the four idiots and said to Huangfu Jixun: "General Huangfu, Benhou will enter the palace tomorrow to paint a portrait of the princess, and he dare not stay here. ”

Huangfu Jixun was stunned, and Zhou Xuan had already walked out with a laugh on his shoulders with the four idiots.

Zhou Xuan went out and got on the horse, and said goodbye to the emperor Jixun who was sent out of the mansion.

After riding a horse for half a mile, the night breeze blew and the wine surged, Zhou Xuan was so dizzy that he bent down and hugged the horse's neck and shouted: "Fourth, look at me, take me back to Mochou Lake when I fall." ”

The four idiots snorted and controlled the mule to approach Zhou Xuan's mount.

Zhou Xuan closed his eyes and said with a smile: "Fourth, we will move to a new house tomorrow, let's go to the Keju field to practice two first, haha." In the midst of laughter, the body is crooked, the left foot is off the pedal, and it is about to fall down to the right side.

The four idiots kept staring at him, and hurriedly leaned over and reached out to straighten him, but Zhou Xuan leaned to the other side, and the four idiots hurriedly grabbed his belt.

Zhou Xuan stepped off his feet, pressed the saddle on his waist and abdomen, hanging on the horse's back like a long baggage, and called "fourth, fourth" or something in his mouth.

The four idiots were afraid that Zhou Xuan would fall, so they had to gently lift him to the mule's back with one arm, and the two rode together.

Zhou Xuan couldn't sit still, leaning on the four idiots, who didn't let him get close and put him on the back of the mule.

The white-nosed mule carried two people, shook his body, Zhou Xuan was shaken by the mule like this, and he was afraid of falling down in his drunken dream, so he stretched out his arm and hugged the left thigh of the four idiots, holding it tightly.

The four idiots couldn't break free with any force, so they returned to the Fenghua Military Mansion like that, and it took a lot of effort to pull out their legs when they got off the mule.

Zhou Xuan was already in a dream at this time, still riding a horse, a black-maned horse without a bareback, he hugged the horse's neck tightly, the horse galloped, jumped over the stream, passed through large forests, snow-covered peaks, the scenery was incomparably magnificent-

Where do you wake up tonight? Incense pillow, beauty embrace.

Zhou Xuan opened his eyes and saw a piece of greasy white skin, fragrant and fragrant, and couldn't help but lean over, bury his head in the fragrant and greasy, and breathe deeply.

"Childe-" The low soft voice is like a flute pipe.

Zhou Xuan propped up his head, the little prostitute and the little cheeks flew down, delicate and incomprehensible, wearing a thin shirt, exposing a snow-white neck and delicate collarbone, and the green bandeau was seductively raised.

"Xiaofeng, didn't I say, don't tie a bandeau at night, relax the restraints, and let it thrive."

Zhou Xuan said in his mouth, stretched out his hand and quickly untied the bandeau tie for Yang Xiaofeng, and lifted it, as if the bandeau was wrapped in two living creatures, and they needed to breathe.

"It's not nighttime." The little sheep reached out and covered the two little lambs. Embarrassed, he said, "It's dawn." ”

Zhou Xuan looked at it, Yang

He came in, and said, "Anyway, I haven't slept enough." ”

Xiao Xiang may have been waiting outside the door, and then shouted: "Uncle, Chen Gongzi and Sun Gongzi are coming to you." ”

Zhou Xuanying said: "I know, I'll get up immediately." Retracted the quilt and whispered to Yang Xiaofeng: "Little lamb, let the son check it." Is there a bit bigger? ”

Yang Xiaofeng knew that the son was checking endlessly, and Xiaoxiang was just outside the door, holding it and saying, "It's too big." Childe doesn't need to look at it. ”

Zhou Xuan looked at Yang Xiaofeng's delicate appearance, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Let the son see how much older he is?" "Grab her wrist and use a little force. Just removed his hand, the two peaks are delicate and delicate, and the tender red milk has a sweet fragrance -

Zhou Xuan, deeply intoxicated.

This view. Sure enough, it's endless, and the begonias are blooming in the spring.

Outside the door, Xiaoxiang heard the sound of Begonia opening, and walked away with a red face and a pout. Go and tell the servant to prepare water for my aunt to bathe.

When Zhou Xuan appeared in front of Chen Ji and the Sun brothers refreshed. It's already hourly time. The master of Guanglu Temple is already waiting there, and he asks Marquis Zhou to go to Xiangluanfang to see the mansion again.

Zhou Xuan said: "I saw it last time. Very satisfied, there it is. ”

Master Ding Bo said: "Then the lower official will let people clean it up, and the Hou Ye will choose a good day to move over." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It's scheduled for February 15, Lord Ding." ”

Chen Ji and Sun's brothers Xing Chongchong followed Master Ding to Xiangluanfang to see the Xinzhou Hou Mansion, Zhou Xuan didn't go, he still had something to do, he was going to paint a portrait of Princess Qingle in the afternoon, and promised that the gifts of those palace ladies in Jingxu Palace had not yet been prepared, and it was inevitable to call Lord Chaosanlang Abu again.

Abu was not there, and when I asked, I learned that Lord Abu had gone to the Bailuzhou wharf, and the merchant ship carrying goods from Jiangzhou had arrived.

Steward Liu, who was sent by Jiangzhou Xu Tingshi to take care of his three idiots, came over and said, "Master Hou, the villain is going to take the three sons of Xu back to Jiangzhou tomorrow, what does Master Hou command?" ”

The Lantern Festival Chicken Festival ended, and Master Wuyun refused to accept them as apprentices, throwing away a copy of "Famous Prostitutes" to fool them, and the three brothers became homesick.

Zhou Xuan said: "I want to go back in May, you might as well spend two months in Beijing, how about everyone go back together?" ”

Steward Liu shook his head and said, "Don't you know about the three sons?" They want to do whatever they want, and they will burn the ground to do it. ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Well, Abu's merchant ship has just come from Jiangzhou, and it will return in the near future. ”

Steward Liu was overjoyed.

At noon, Abu came back, dressed in a seven-grade official uniform, full of official and business style, saw Zhou Xuan, gave a deep salute, and called "Xia Guan".

Zhou Xuan smiled and asked: "Lord Chaosanlang, how do you feel about being an official for a day?" ”

Abu said with a spring breeze on his face: "All the cultivation of Hou Ye, do not hide from Hou Ye, the feeling of being an official is happy, in the past, the lower officials, no, contemptible people walking on the street, always feel inferior, to be careful with whoever you speak, always have to give up three points in case of trouble, but now it is different, from inferior to superior, of course, the lower official used to be despised by others, so he will never be domineering, and he is still modest and cautious in dealing with others. ”

Zhou Xuan laughed and said: "Brother Abu is rich and noble, he doesn't forget his roots, it's very good, you can be rich and good in Beijing in the future, you are an official and businessman, no one dares to make things difficult for you anymore, and your money will snowball." ”

Abu said sincerely: "Abu can have today, it is all due to the kindness of Hou Ye, and Abu's property is shared with Hou Ye." ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "The income of Xuanjing Land is shared equally between the two of us, and I don't take any of the rest, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, I have 'Yunshang Women's Clothing', and I also want to open a worm club, a round society, and a chess club in Beijing, and hold concerts and dances, haha, I'm very busy - by the way, Brother Abu, how many Xuanjing did you bring with the merchant ship this time?" ”

Abu replied: "The skills of the mirror craftsmen are becoming more and more proficient, and this time they have brought 100 high-grade mirrors and 300 medium-grade mirrors. ”

Zhou Xuandao: "You take two high-quality Xuanjing, ten medium-grade Xuanjing to me, and prepare ninety-one Fanghua Yongzhu Frost, ninety-one clothing, and sixty colorful glazed utensils, and the rest of the candied pastries, the more the merrier, this is a gift prepared for the palace, hurry up and do it, I will enter the palace later." ”

Abu is the strong backing of Zhou Xuan's gift, as long as it is Zhou Xuan's gift, then it must be Abu to handle it.

Abu naturally thought that this was Zhou Xuan's gift for him to be appointed as Chaosanlang, and he went to prepare it with gratitude, and it was all ready in less than an hour.

Before then, Zhou Xuan came to the gate of Yuanheng of Jingxu Palace with the gifts of the four idiots and Laifu, as well as the gifts of the four carriages, and Zhou Xuan went to the palace and asked the deacon in the palace to carry the gifts.

When the people of Jingxu Palace heard that the husband of the needle and the noble Marquis of Zhou really came to give gifts, they were all overjoyed and came out to see the gifts.

Zhou Xuan had asked about the number of palace maids and attendants in Jingxu Palace yesterday, and the two high-quality Xuanjing mirrors were prepared for Princess Qingle and Feng Ajian, and the rest of the ten eunuch female officials in the palace each had a medium-grade Xuanjing, a Fanghua Yongzhu frost, and a piece of clothing, and eighty palace ladies were each with a Fanghua Yongzhu frost and clothing, and sixty eunuchs were sent to the ground with colorful glazed vessels, which were also sold for twenty taels of silver on the market.

The Marquis of Xinzhou made such a generous move, and took care of the palace ladies and deacons in the lower echelons of the palace, not only looking upwards, which won the great favor of the female officials and eunuchs in Jingxu Palace, down to the ordinary palace ladies and ordinary chamberlains, and the praise was endless.

Suddenly, Zhou Xuan had a subtle feeling, this was the same as the first time he used the thirty taels of silver he won to buy gifts for the Qin Mansion from gambling on crickets, he was buying people's hearts.

That time to buy people's hearts was to win Qin Que's heart, and now what is Jingxu Palace buying people's hearts for?
