Body 355 Intricate relationships
Yang Wu knocked on the door several times, and the door of Pei Xingjian's mansion slowly opened, and before he could speak, the woman who poked her head out of the door smiled bitterly and said: "Noble, those four women have been ransomed and will no longer go to the flower shop, so don't make it difficult for you to be strong, okay?" ”
Li Hong and Yang Wu looked at the woman in a daze, and after the woman finished speaking, she also looked at the two of them with a shocked face, stayed for a while and then muttered, "You guys...... Who are you? But they were also ordered by the master of the family to invite them to the mansion to participate in the banquet? ”
"You misunderstood, we are friends with Pei Wanying, and we have nothing to do today, so we just stopped by to see her. Li Hong bowed his hand, tried to make himself appear amiable, and did not show his hypocritical face.
Looking at the woman in front of me, I thought it was not a maid, a maid or the like, that dress, although it was not very expensive, but its materials were also expensive, not to mention that the demeanor, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a maid.
"Wanying's friend?" The woman was stunned, this was the first time she had seen Wanying's friend Meng Lang find her home, and it was a man.
"Yes, I'm Wanying's friend, how about you report it, Madame?" Li Hong tried his best to make his expression very pure and his attitude was very sincere.
"You're not from King Ji's Mansion, come to invite those little ladies?"
"It's not." Li Hong responded.
Looking at the people coming and going on the road, Li Hong felt that he was still a little embarrassed to be turned away, and a man came to find someone's daughter, even if Tang Feng was civilized, I am afraid that he would not be able to do such a thing as himself.
"Madam, let's go, it's all our own family, and we can't always refute their face...... You...... You...... How did it come? Xue Chu'er and Yan Lingbin looked at Li Hong and Yangwu at the door, their mouths swelled wide, their faces were shocked, and they all stammered when they spoke.
"Hmph, dare you say you're not? Look at the little ladies who are scared, let's go, they are already free, and they will not go there again, you go back and tell Princess Ji, just say that the old Lu family personally refused for them. Pei Wanying's mother, Lu, looked at the frightened appearance of the two well-behaved little ladies, and suddenly turned cold, and said without refusal.
"Madam, we are really not from King Ji's Mansion." Li Hong smiled bitterly, and from time to time there were already people on the side of the road looking at his side.
Most of the places in this square are the mansions of officials, if you run into a well-fed imperial history and run into someone's house, you will have to be reprimanded by the dragon father and the dragon mother.
"Madame, Madame...... You misunderstood, he, he, he, he is not ....... ”
"It's not nothing, don't be afraid of them, what's wrong with the people in King Ji's Mansion, the old body is not afraid of the people in King Ji's Mansion." Lu's face was frosty, and it was like a cold day, which made Li Hongdu feel that he was afraid that this trip would be in vain.
Li Hong smiled helplessly, looked at Xue Chu'er and Yan Lingbin, who were blocked by the Lu family, and said, "You two can't count on it, and you can't say anything clearly." ”
Yang Wu looked at Li Hong's gestures, hurriedly put down the two large gift boxes in his hand, took out a token from his arms and respectfully handed it to the Lu family, and said respectfully: "Mrs. Pei, you can see, this is the token of my son-in-law." ”
"Li Bai ......? Belch...... I'm sorry, little girl....... Pei Wanying saw that her mother had not come back yet, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw the eunuch of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taking out a token.
"Wanying, do you know this son?"
"Mother, why don't you open the door quickly and let the nobles come in." Pei Wanying hurriedly grabbed Lu's arm and opened all the doors of the mansion, and Li Hong and Yang Wu entered the mansion.
"This ...... Wanying, you are really getting more and more disagreeable, how can you let a strange man enter our house, if your father finds out, he will inevitably have to reprimand you, it is really getting more and more crazy. Lu was inexplicable, but she could feel that when her heart saw this young man, the whole person was obviously a lot more excited.
"Mother......." Pei Wanying took her mother's arm and whispered in her ear, until she finished speaking, Lu Shi was suddenly shocked, and looked at Li Hong and suddenly became cramped and uneasy.
"This ...... Please also ask the prince to ....... ”
"Mrs. Pei, please excuse me, those who don't know are not guilty, not to mention that I didn't say hello this time, but I made you frightened." Li Hong hurriedly helped the Lu family in the void, and the Lu family also straightened up under Pei Wanying's support.
Pei Xingjian's mansion is completely built according to the system, and it can be regarded as a mansion in this square, but the population is pitiful, except for the mother and daughter and a gatehouse, there are two serving maids, and the whole mansion looks deserted.
After respectfully inviting Li Hong to sit down, the Lu family wanted to boil water and make tea in person, which was also an excuse to leave, leaving a space for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to find his daughter-in-law to speak. Yang Wu also took advantage of this, carrying two large gift boxes, and followed the Lu family to the back wing, these things also have to be seen by the master's family.
Li Hong sat down in the living room, looking at the clothes on Xue Chuer's four daughters, which were also changed into clothes that were almost the same as Pei Wanying, no longer like the warblers and warblers that he saw in Qujiang Pond.
"Listen to your mother, have the people of the Ji Wangfu been inviting them to the palace?" Li Hong looked at Pei Wanying, who was next, and asked.
"Yes, it's been several times, but fortunately, the little girl's mother is here, and they didn't force it. In fact, not only King Ji, but also other nobles will also come to invite them with invitations. Pei Wanying mentioned this, and her face was sullen.
This made someone feel as if it was a mistake to ransom four maids for her.
"It is said that after the redemption, they will be free, are the four of you so famous in Chang'an?" Li Hong found out for the first time that he seemed to look down on the four daughters a little, which was very similar to the stars in the previous life.
"You have redeemed the four major capitals of Chang'an Huafang, imagine it, where can the noble and wealthy families of Chang'an City find someone who can match their status at once, and go to their mansion to feast with guests." Pei Wanying smiled softly and said: "And now, even if it is the four major flower shops, there is no way to find a beauty who can sing and dance and chant poetry like the four sisters, so naturally they came here to invite each other." ”
"Then you didn't say ......." Li Hong knew halfway through his words, this Pei Wanying probably took care of her identity and fame, so she didn't tell anyone that these four people were ransomed by His Royal Highness the current Prince.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really smart." Pei Wanying looked at Li Hong and didn't speak, but just looked at the four respectful beauties and said with a smile.
In the case of Qujiangchi, many scholars only know that there is a person who has redeemed the four major oirans, but as for the origin of this person, everything is very mysterious, and there is no way to find out the slightest clue.
But the four major capitals knew that the news in Pei Xingjian's mansion was now like wings, and it was known to everyone in Chang'an at once, so it also brought a lot of trouble to Pei Wanying and her mother.
"It seems that I came here today or came to the right place, if I don't come, won't you still have to be disturbed by others, won't this year be bad? Uncle Ji Wang has come to the door, and listening to your mother's words, it is obviously not the first time, why don't you plan to ask me to help you resolve this trouble? Li Hong held the teacup, looked at Lu and walked out with a smile, and asked Pei Wanying.
Pei Wanying pursed her lips, the small dimples on her cheeks suddenly appeared, and then she frowned and said: "Ji Wangfu is easy to say, my mother can block it a little, but it is difficult for us to stop others many times, especially when it is almost the first day, these noble and wealthy families all hope to be favored by one of the four elder sisters." ”
Li Hong savored Pei Wanying's words, could it be that someone with a higher status than King Ji Li Shen would invite the four of them?
In fact, Li Hong didn't know that Pei Wanying's father, his own deputy to protect Pei Xingjian, and Li Shennai, the king of Ji, were brothers-in-law, which was commonly known as once picked.
Princess Ji is the sister of Pei Wanying's mother, so this is why when Li Hong was at the door just now, Pei Wanying's mother dared to refuse so harshly to the subordinates of King Ji's mansion.
Li Hong looked at Xue Chu'er's four daughters, and then at Pei Wanying's gentle smile, and pondered in his heart: "Fortunately, King Ji is the same generation as his father, so he and Pei Wanying are also the same generation, but fortunately, they are not a generation higher than themselves." ”
"So, your maternal grandfather is Lu Lisu, the governor of the Yizhou Governor's Mansion?"
Pei Wanying nodded with a smile, but Li Hong was speechless in a daze, whether it is in this era or in the environment of the previous life, it is obvious that there has always been a family pair.
The relationship between these powerful people is simply intricately complicated, I originally thought that Pei Xingjian did not have any relatives, but now it seems that I have not sorted out these things clearly.
But what worries him even more is that Lu Shuang, the son of Lu Lisu, the governor of the Yizhou Governor's Mansion, is now the Shaoyin of Henan Mansion under the fourth grade, and his official position is not big, but his power is not small.
Moreover, Henan Mansion is led by Prince Yao, although it is owned by the chief, but now there are several princes who nominally lead Henan Mansion Yao, and Li Shen, King Ji, is one of them.
What makes Li Hong even more embarrassed is that after he goes to Luoyang this time, I am afraid that he will have to deal with Henan Mansion, especially this Lu Shuang, who has already been targeted by Lijingmen, and is being turned into a Jingwei stalker at this time.
Thinking of this, Li Hong couldn't help but feel a little big, this messy relationship is easy to sort out, but what if the question is asked about Lu Shuang's head in the future?
All of a sudden, Li Hong suddenly discovered that the crown prince was really not so easy to be a prince, let alone the emperor, there seemed to be too many intricate interests, kinship, and nepotism.
