Pingyang Hou Cao Shou died, and he died of an emergency, at least that's what Pingyang Houfu said. Princess Pingyang is the emperor's sister, and after Pingyang Hou Cao Shou is a hero, the funeral is grand. For a time, the princes and nobles of Chang'an City rushed to Pingyang. Although Su Ren is not a royal nobleman, he has a friendship with Cao Shou and Princess Pingyang, so it is naturally indispensable to go to the memorial service.

When they came to Pingyang, the streets were already overcrowded, and there were more people in the capital than the local people, and Su Ren found that there were many court officials interspersed with them. After thinking about it, I understand, Princess Pingyang is the emperor's sister, and the relationship with the emperor has always been very good.

Wei Qing went out from Pingyang Houfu, and it was natural for him to come to pay respects. Now Wei Qing's identity is different, whether he is a court official or an uncle, goodbye Princess Pingyang doesn't know what kind of identity to introduce herself, and when she was sitting on the horse and was worried, she was seen by Su Ren.

A slap on Wei Qing's shoulder, Su Ren glanced at Wei Qing: "What?" As soon as Pingyang Hou died, you remembered Princess Pingyang? ”

"Brother Su, don't talk nonsense!" Hurriedly covered Su Ren's mouth and looked nervously left and right.

Su Ren said: "In the Book of Poetry, Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Island, My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good, liking is not a dirty thing, what's embarrassing?" Now that you're not a manu, your identity has changed, and you're older, it's time to think about yourself. ”

Wei Qing shook his head: "When our Wei family was in trouble, it was the Hou Mansion that took us in, and I, Wei Qing, will always be the slave of the Hou Mansion, no matter what happens in the future." ”

"Why are you doing this? Pingyang is dead, the princess is not impossible to find another person, you know the princess well, if you explain to Your Majesty, this matter is estimated to be ten **, in case it is delayed again, maybe someone else will take the lead, then you will regret it! Glancing at Wei Qing, Su Ren continued: "If you feel embarrassed, I can say something to Your Majesty for you." ”

"A big husband should stand in the world, and only by making contributions can he marry a wife!"

Su Ren was laughed at by Wei Qing's bold words, and pointed to the pair of mighty people in front of him: "See, that is your most powerful competitor." ”

Looking in the direction of Su Ren's finger: "Ru Yinhou? ”

"Yes! After Ru Yin Hou is the founder of the country, he looks good, no matter his identity and status are stronger than you, if he opens his mouth to His Majesty, you have no hope. ”

"Why did you want to marry a princess?"

"Huh!" Su Ren looked at Wei Qing suspiciously: "Are you really stupid or fake stupid?" See, this time the people who came to mourn were basically the sons and nephews of the princes and nobles, all of them were freshly dressed and angry, what do you think they are here for? Really condolences Pingyang? ”

"Won't it?" Wei Qing glanced at the street, and it was really as Su Ren said, most of the people who came to mourn this time were young people, and they looked and had a good figure. There are many people like Ruyin Hou Xiahou, but the title is not as hard as Xiahou Po.

Xiahou Po also noticed Su Ren and hurriedly rushed over. Sitting on the horse, he saluted Su Ren: "Mr. Su is also here, I thought that Mr. really wanted to do his studies wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect Mr. to ...... too."

Su Ren waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm really here to condole, and other things will never be involved." ”

"So good, so good!" The smile on Xia Houpo's face was even better: "Since Mr. went to the Louguantai, I haven't listened to Mr.'s teachings, and I can only mourn tomorrow, why don't I go and sit down there today?" ”

"Okay! Is there a gift for you not to be invited? Wait until I'm ready to make it a bother. ”

Looking at Xiahou Po's back, Wei Qing couldn't say a word with his mouth wide open. He is not a stupid person, the meaning of Xiahou Po's words can be heard clearly, and when he walks away, Wei Qing's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character: "What about these people?" How so! Hou Ye's bones are not cold, and he ......"

"Pingyang Hou is an insignificant character, what's the big deal if he dies? Is it worth the sons of so many princes and nobles to travel so far? Patting Wei Qing on the shoulder, Su Ren said meaningfully: "Learn a little!" ”

While speaking, Huo Zhongru arrived, which was Su Ren's foothold. The last time I came to Huo Zhong Confucianism was two years ago, when the relationship between the Huo family and the Wei family was very stiff, and now Wei Qing's second sister Wei Shao'er has a firm foundation in the Huo family, and the relationship between the two families has naturally eased a lot. Speaking of which, all this was given by Su Ren, and coming to Pingyang and not living in Huo Zhongru made Huo Zhongru feel uncomfortable.

Huo Zhongru was waiting at the gate early, and when he saw Su Ren and Wei Qing coming, he hurriedly went down the steps to lead the horses for the two: "Mr. Su and the eldest brother came just in time, the banquet has just been prepared, and the house has also been arranged, just waiting for the two to come." ”

Su Ren arched his hand: "There is Mr. Laohuo." ”

Huo Zhongru hurriedly said: "Mr. is polite, it is rude to go to the door of Mr. to be sick, Zhongru has never visited." ”

A few people stood at the door just talking, and Hawking on the side was a little impatient: "Second uncle, shouldn't we just stand outside the door like this all the time?" ”

"Hehehe......" Huo Zhongru smiled, and then let everyone in.

Separated by a courtyard gate, inside and outside the door are completely different worlds. Because Pingyang is dead, almost all Pingyang is vegetarian, filial piety is hung on the door of every household, and all colored things are put away, and it is full of gray at a glance, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they look at it. However, there was a celebration in the Huo family, and the servants happily greeted the distinguished guests, and their words and expressions were quite well matched, making people feel like a spring breeze.

This time, Huo Zhongru was well prepared, whether it was the guards or the main owner, they were all entertained very properly, and even placed the tables, chairs and tea that Su Ren liked in the courtyard, and they were all good Shu tea, which was very good for Su Ren's temper.

After eating, accompanied by Huo Zhongru, Su Ren and Wei Qing came to the courtyard. The tea has been brewed and the temperature and consistency are very suitable. Su Ren took a sip, not only admiring Huo Zhongru's hospitality. While drinking tea and chatting gossip, Menzi hurried in and said that Ruyin was waiting for Xiahou Po to visit.

Huo Zhongru was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Su Ren. Su Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This Ru Yin Hou is still an impatient, he can't wait so much, or Mr. Huo will let him in." ”

"Okay, well, welcome immediately!"

Xiahou Po didn't feel uncomfortable when he came in, and said with a smile while saluting: "It's really rude, I came uninvited, and I hope Mr. Su will forgive me." As he spoke, he sat down at the table. Turning his head to look at Huo Zhongru, Xiahou Po continued: "I was going to invite Mr. Su in the evening, but after I went back, I thought about it and it was still inappropriate, so I visited in a hurry, don't blame Scribe Huo." ”

Since he was a friend of Su Ren and a marquis, Huo Zhongru naturally had no reason to blame, and ordered someone to take a new pair of teacups and pour tea for Xiahou Po personally.

Su Ren said: "It's okay, let's be regarded as an old man who went to you and came here is the same, but this time I came to Pingyang to condole, I heard that Mrs. Hou and Princess Pingyang have a good relationship, why didn't they come together?" ”

"Hehe, I'm ashamed to say it, the cheap and unvirtuous have been retired yesterday!"

Xiahou Po's wife is also considered to be the great-granddaughter of Xiao He, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. If such a woman is not virtuous, there is really no virtuous woman in the world. Xiahou Po's words were light, but he didn't dare to agree with what he did. is such a prodigal, if he really marries Princess Pingyang, no one dares to guarantee that he will become a second unvirtuous woman in the future.

Wei Qing sat on the side without saying a word, but his eyes were staring at Xiahou Po.

Xiahou didn't care at all, took a sip of tea, and pretended to be mysterious: "Sir, you really ......"

Su Ren said with a smile: "The two wives of my family are still virtuous, and I have no plans to divorce them." ”

"Sir said he was smiling!" Xiahou laughed dryly: "This time Mr. can help me, if this matter is successful, I will definitely thank you with a lot of money." ”

"What do you mean? Do you still need me to help you with this dignified appearance? I've seen all the people who came today, except for Ruyin Hou, the highest title is the third son of Hui'an Hou, this identity is naturally incomparable with you, what else do you need to help? ”

"Mr. didn't know, the middle doctor Han Yan also came, and it is said that he also brought a letter from the Queen Mother and lived in Pingyang Houfu early, so he ......"

"Han Yan? The Empress Dowager's letters? Su Ren thought for a while: "What, he also has this thought?" ”

Xiahou smiled: "I'm afraid that the only person in the world who doesn't have this mind is you, Mr. Su." ”

Su Ren said: "How are you going to let me help you?" ”

Xiahou Po immediately got up and bowed to Su Renshen: "I heard that Mr. Su and the princess have a relationship, if Mr. can say a few kind words in front of the princess for Ben Hou, Ben Hou is grateful, of course, His Majesty also trusts Mr. Yes, he knows that the princess and His Majesty have a deep relationship, and I also ask Mr. Su to talk about it in front of His Majesty." ”

Su Ren nodded: "It's natural and feasible to speak, but I don't dare to guarantee whether the princess and His Majesty will listen." ”

Xiahou was overjoyed: "As long as Mr. Su speaks, he will be grateful!" Come on, bring the present in. ”

A large box was carried in by four strong men, and looking at the steps of several people, he knew that this gift was not light. You don't have to open it to know it's money. Su Ren was born as a businessman, and the world knows that he loves money, and Xiahou has given a lot of favorites.

Su Ren was not polite, and waved his hand to let people go down. Such a good thing could never have been dreamed of, since it was necessary to send it and receive it, even if he fooled Xiahou Po, he couldn't say a word. In fact, Xiahou was quite determined to win, but he was worried that Su Ren would talk nonsense in front of the emperor, so he used a box of money to seal Su Ren's mouth. Seeing that Su Ren had collected the money, Xiahou felt a lot of relief in his heart.

After gossiping, Xiahou happily said goodbye. Su Ren didn't take Xiahou Po's request to heart, he cared about Han Yan. Since Xiu Chengjun was brought back, this kid has been very happy, and this time he actually came to Pingyang and lived in Pingyang Houfu, so things have become a little tricky.

According to historical records, the person who remarried Princess Pingyang was Xiahou Po, what happened to Han Yan suddenly? Su Ren thought about things, and Wei Qing and Huo Zhongru hid in a funny way. Han Qing came out from under the shade of the tree and nodded at Su Ren, the meaning was very clear, Xiahou was telling the truth.
