Chapter 644: An Invitation
Even more than 365 days, it also shows that the four levels of this book have been written for a year, and it is a time worth being clear.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
During the suburban festival, Wei Zifu appeared in front of the world as the person who replaced the queen, and many people had new speculations. As a result, the Wei family, which had not been cared about before, has been visiting an endless stream of guests in the past few days, and all of them have been sent heavy gifts. The most representative of the Wei family, Yi Weiqing, is none other than Wei Qing, and he has the most people visiting his house.
Ruyin Hou Xiahou Po entered Wei Qing's house with two carts of gifts and laughed: "Oops! Brother Wei Qing's house is really difficult to enter, if it weren't for his brother's good figure, I'm afraid he would be squeezed into a meatloaf! ”
Wei Qing hurriedly saluted: "Ruyin is waiting for the arrival of the great driver, please forgive me." ”
Xiahou Po waved his hand: "Who is our brother with whom?" It's also a no-fight and no acquaintance, Mrs. Wei is about to be sealed, and she has no ability to congratulate her brother in person, so there should be no problem with coming to Brother Wei Qing to ask for a glass of water and wine, right? ”
Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, and his face was solemn: "Ruyin waits for caution!" ”
"Hahaha!" Xia Hou was quite unimpressed: "Be careful, who else in this world can't see clearly?" Although the queen's position has not been abolished now, it has been claustrophobic in the Changmen Palace, even if she invited Sima Xiangru to do the endowment, she has not been able to come out, and Mrs. Wei has given birth to a dragon son for Her Majesty, and it is a matter of time before the mother is crowned with her son. ”
Wei Qing couldn't answer, so he didn't say much and only let Xiahou in. Xiahou didn't care about it, and still said jokes loudly. As the leader of Chang'an City, Han Yan is the first, Chen Wu is the second, and Xiahou Po is definitely the third. Now that the first one is dead, and the second is because of the problem of Princess Guantao, it won't take long to become a wasted person.
Xiahou Po's ancestor Xiahou Ying is also one of the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty. If it weren't for Xiahou Ying, Empress Lu's son Emperor Hui and daughter Princess Lu Yuan would have died in the chaos of the army. With these merits, Xiahou Ying was given the title of Ruyin Hou and allowed to have 800 private soldiers, which was very rare in the Great Han Dynasty. It is precisely because of the 800 private soldiers in Xiahou's family that no matter which emperor has to treat him with courtesy and do everything he can to win him over, so Xiahou dares to show off in Chang'an City.
Today, Xiahou is quite high-spirited, and it can be seen from the expression on his face that there must be something good. Accompanied by Wei Qing, after drinking tea for a while and chatting for a while, Xiahou Ying smiled and took a beautifully made paper from the hand of the servant. The paper is very white and hard, and such paper is rare in the market, except for some officials who used it as a cover for the concerta.
Handing the hard paper to Wei Qing, Xiahou said with a smile: "Today, Ben Hou is here to congratulate Mrs. Wei, and another thing is to invite Brother Wei to participate in Ben Hou's wedding, the Empress Dowager has promised to marry Princess Pingyang to Ben Hou, the date is set for August 20, and Brother Wei will be invited to enjoy the light." ”
Wei Qing was stunned again, this Xiahou Po entered the mansion and said two things, all of which were on Wei Qing's heart. Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, he took the hard paper in Xiahou Po's hand, which was an invitation. I don't know when it began, the dignitaries and dignitaries of Chang'an City liked to use paper to make all kinds of things, folds, books, films, and even this kind of invitation.
Xiahoupo's invitation card was marked with a golden stroke, and a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water was drawn on it. Whether it is painting or workmanship, it can be said that it is a success, according to Wei Qing's understanding, the production cost of such an invitation is no less than 30 yuan. Looking at the baggage in the hands of Xiahou Po's servants, there must be a lot of them inside.
"Ruyin is waiting to marry Princess Pingyang? Why haven't you heard of this? ”
"Hehehe! If you haven't heard of it, you don't have to make a fuss, this matter is the same as that of Mrs. Wei, the Queen Mother has agreed, but Her Majesty has issued an order, and the date will be drawn up first, so as not to panic when you get it, right? Although Princess Pingyang is widowed, and she waited for Cao Shou in Pingyang to keep filial piety for a year, the year of filial piety on August 2 expired, and she was completely free to marry. ”
Wei Qing frowned: "I'm afraid that there is something wrong with what you are waiting for in this matter, what if Your Majesty does not give an order by then?" Won't you make the world laugh at you? ”
Xiahou Po waved his hand: "Brother Wei Qing's kindness should be appreciated, tell the brother the truth, there will be no problem in this matter." ”
"Oh! In this case, it is inevitable to ask for a glass of wine! ”
"In a word, Mrs. Wei and Brother Wei Qing are both from Pingyang Houfu, and they are also considered princesses, from now on, you and I will be people who advance and retreat together, Brother Wei Qing will have to speak more for his brother in front of Queen Wei?"
Wei Qing smiled dismally: "Ruyin Hougui is a marquis, and he can't enter the palace on weekdays, and he can't enter the palace on weekdays, and there is no movement in the affairs of my sister after the seal, even if the monarch and the ministers are different after the seal, many things are not easy to say." ”
"I don't need my brother to say anything, just mention my brother's name!" Xiahou patted Wei Qing's shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, the princess and Your Majesty have a deep relationship with each other, if there is anything for the brother, you must take care of the brother, speaking of which, if Mrs. Wei is sealed and the princess marries, we will become relatives!" Hahaha......"
Wei Qing laughed dryly with him: "Born in the lower untouchables, how dare you kiss Ruyin?" ”
"It's not a kiss, it's a fact! Even if I don't recognize it, I can't do it! ”
Xiahou is quite reluctant to leave, and Wei Qing is a sincere person, so naturally he does not have the courage to drive out. Every time Xiahou Po said one more word, Wei Qing's heart would be stabbed one more time. Thinking of what Su Ren told him at the beginning, things are also developing in the direction that Su Ren expected. In order to win over Xiahou Po, the emperor was really ready to marry Princess Pingyang. Wei Qing doesn't like this kind of naked use relationship, but as a courtier, he can't say anything, so he can only deal with it without a word.
Basically, Xia Houpo talked about it all morning, and Wei Qing sat aside to answer. Sometimes Wei Qing wanted to go up and beat Xiahou Po, or even slaughter him. Later, it was not possible to put it into action. In the envious and jealous eyes of a group of visitors outside the door, Xiahou Po and Wei Qing said goodbye. As soon as Xiahou Po left, Wei Qing immediately ordered to close the door and thank the guests, his mind was too chaotic, and he wondered if Su Ren was joking when he asked him to ask for a kiss.
Xiahou is quite able to send invitations to Wei Qing, so naturally Su Ren is indispensable. Compared with the first two gentlemen, Xiahoupo's only advantage is that he can bend and stretch, which is also the reason why Xiahou's family has not been in a hundred years. There were many princes who were sealed during the time of Gaozu, and the only one that could be handed down and still retain the treatment of the ancestors was the Xiahou family, all because the people of the Xiahou family were left and right, and they should not offend anyone.
Looking at the shoddy invitation, Su Ren smiled.
Huo Quzhi was a little anxious: "Sir, this Xiahou dares to slander the reputation of the princess and compete with his uncle for the princess, so the kid will take someone to break his leg." ”
Su Ren smiled: "Okay, you go!" With your little ability, you can beat the eight hundred private soldiers of the Xiahou family. ”
"That can't make Xiahou Po so nonsense, Mr. promised his uncle to fulfill him and the princess!"
Su Ren glanced at Huo Quai: "Lao Tzu didn't lose his words?" Isn't Xiahou Po still married to a princess? ”
Huo Quzhi's eyes lit up: "Mr. still has a clever plan?" ”
"Why don't you believe your husband?"
Huo Quzhi hurriedly shook his head: "My aunt said that Mr. is the smartest person in the Han Dynasty and the most committed person, so what he says will naturally count!" ”
"Don't scare me with your aunt, your husband is not even afraid of the emperor, but he is afraid of a queen who has not been crowned?" Su Ren glared at Huo Quai: "Okay, no flattery, no need to provoke, if you want your uncle to marry the princess smoothly, hurry up and find Mr. Han." ”
"No!" Huo Quzhi agreed, turned around and ran out of the door.
Su Ren looked at the invitation card in his hand again. Su Ren absolutely admired Xiahou Po for playing like this, and began to prepare for the wedding with great fanfare without getting the emperor's permission, so thick-skinned Su Ren was ashamed. There is nothing nice about the invitation, it is actually a reminder notice, but Su Ren does not think that this invitation is to urge his own money, but Xiahou Po uses it to urge his own life.
This time, Huo Quai's efficiency was very high, and he dragged Han Qing to Su Ren's courtyard in a short time. Han Qing was not as leisurely as Su Ren, he was busy with the acquisition of locusts, but he was pulled to Su Ren by Huo Quai.
shook off Huo Quai's hand vigorously: "It's here, you still drag, you can't break my arm?" ”
Huo Quzhi smiled: "Mr. Looking for Mr. Han, I can't help but be happy!" ”
Han Qing couldn't cry or laugh: "This time the matter has something to do with you, right?" Say, is there something wrong with it? Did you upset Mr.? It's still bullying the academy."
Huo Quzhi shook his head: "How dare the kid make Mr. angry, he is locked up in the confinement room once, and he doesn't want to go in again in this life!" Those guys in the academy are even more unbearable, bullying them is all worthy of them, and they dare to sue? ”
Huo Quzhi is a good seedling, although he is only fourteen years old, he is tall and handsome, standing with Han Qing is only a little shorter than Han Qing, but he is much stronger than Han Qing. Maybe the Huo family has this gene, and Huo Quai's contemporaneous Hawking is like this, but he is not very old, but he is five big and three rough, and he is even more interested in martial arts, and now he is the captain of the academy guard, and more than 300 people under his command are in good order.
Entering Su Ren's room, without waiting for Han Qing to speak, Su Ren threw the invitation sent by Xiahou Po to Han Qing: "Take a look, our Ruyin Hou can't wait." ”
Han Qing read it at a glance: "This Xiahou Po is so disrespectful of decency, isn't he afraid of His Majesty's guilt?" ”
Su Ren smiled: "The only competitor Han Yan is dead, and Xiahou is quite dominant, so he naturally feels that he has been caught!" Thinking about it, the entire court seems to have the capital to marry Princess Pingyang in Xiahou. ”
"So, what do you mean, sir? Do you want to ......?"
Su Ren smiled: "Since he is looking for death, he can't blame us, I originally thought that if Princess Pingyang kept filial piety for a year, Xiahou would be able to settle down, but now it seems that we are wrong!" Let Time Rain start acting, find a time and opportunity to poke things out, and see how he Xiahou Po responds. ”
