At night, the eggplant drum is swaying, and Zimo is cold.

When Xia Mu came back from Xu's Mansion, he ordered the housekeeper to invite Yang Wan to come over, and invited all the high-ranking officials of the six departments in a row, but the old housekeeper had to go, starting from the military department, inviting Yang Bo, inviting Li Chunfang, the household department invited Zhang Siwei, Guo Pu, and the Ministry of Rites invited Zhao Zhenji, and by the way, Zhang Juzheng and Wang Shizhen were invited over.

Xu Xiyi and Princess An Ning asked someone to take down the meal and personally serve Xia Mu to bathe.

I saw that the huge room was steaming, and I didn't feel cold when I lay naked on the pool of water with good Hetian white jade.

Both of them are wearing sloppy clothes, silk yarn, as if the water is transparent, hazy, looming, outlining a thunderous fire.

After a while, the girl who served outside hurriedly closed the door curtain, her face flushed, and she only listened to the chirping of the two grandmothers in the room, as well as the sound of splashing water.

The girl secretly watched, and saw Xia Mu standing by the pool, nudging the beauty, while holding up the wine and singing: "The shallow wine is in front of the people, the nephrite lamp is embraced, and there is always affection when looking back into the embrace." In pain, he pushed the beauty lightly, and gradually heard the trembling voice, and was slightly frightened.

Try and change the longitudinal, there is no seam, this time the flavor is upside down, moving, arms together, lips together, tongues playing. ”

With such shame, the girl hurriedly closed her eyes, covered her heart and gasped.

**Wushan, unconsciously, the three of them tossed for an hour before they gradually stopped.

Waiting for the matter to be finished, I saw that in the mist, the beauty was lying next to Xia Mu with her breasts exposed, and the red clay stove on the side was ready to burn night and night, and the violet incense that Emperor Li Shimin had used was lit, and the aroma was like the fragrance of wine.

The latter plan is set up with a Tongling treasure jade mirror from Myanmar to offer Wu Zetian, and on one side stands the red black gold plate that Zhao Feiyan danced in the palm of his hand, and the walnut of An Lushan playing Yang Guifei is held in the plate.

Xia Mu's buttocks are lying on the couch where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is lying under His Royal Highness Yu Hanzhang, and the hanging is a special gold wire bead tent made by Song Taizu.

After a while, Ahsan opened the curtain and walked in.

I saw the two grandmothers sleeping soundly on the moon-hole doorway shelf bed with a tassel brocade tent, while Xia Mu was leaning on the white satin and saffron soft pillow, slanting at the bamboo shadow.

Ah San's face turned red when he saw this, and he quipped: "Everyone says that they are full of warm thoughts, and they are merry at night, and they don't care if outsiders look at the jokes?" ”

As soon as Xia Mu heard her say, the corners of his mouth rose, he pulled her in his arms, sniffed the smell of vanilla in her hair, and hugged her tightly: "They are different from you, there should be a few confidantes in life, you and I are." ”

Ah Sang couldn't be more ashamed, hurriedly broke free from Xia Mu's arms, tidied up his clothes, and said with a smile: "Master will make fun of me, the old housekeeper has prepared the stage, Zhang Juzheng and Wang Shizhen are here, waiting for the master to go to the back garden!" ”

Xia Mu nodded, probably because the exercise was too vigorous, but this time it was a little dazzling, so he had to close his eyes again for a while, and then slowly stretched out an arm from under the big red cloud satin quilt, and then stretched out another one, stretched out his body leisurely, and then stood out naked, letting Ah Sang wait to dress.

Princess An Ning heard the sound, woke up, and felt numb all over her body, with a small round face like an apple, and a pair of flexible eyes, she glanced at Xia Mu with anger and complained about him.

After serving Xia Mu, Ah Sang saw that his grandmother was going to get up, so he approached, gently helped Princess An Ning up, and took off a green velvet women's dress from the warm cage, draped it on her, and then walked to a table of eight immortals on the inside of the door, and used a tea cup that imitated the color of the grapes to make a cup of tea, and sent it to Princess An Ning, and asked An with a smile: "Grandma, are you awake, did you sleep well?" ”

Princess An Ning glanced at Ah San, and scolded with a smile: "You Sang girl, you didn't say anything about me in vain, and after Nai Tianye and you **, I will laugh at you like this!" ”

Xia Mu smiled when he heard this, took the crane and walked out of the door, only to see Luo Kedi walking over.

"Brother, I have found out everything you asked me to check," said Luo Kedi, handing Xia Mu a fold.

Xia Mu took it and glanced at it, there was a list of roughly thirty or forty people, all of them were some fat people in the family, and the small clan in the capital who had been greedy for one hundred and eighty years, although it was not as rich as Yan Song's family, but the ancestors were all famous.

Seeing that he was looking carefully, Luo Kedi looked at Xia Mu and smiled: "Brother, you are good at fighting the autumn wind, there are Xu Party, Yan Party, and Li Party, Brother is not a picky eater, he has eaten it, the emperor is naturally satisfied when he sees it, and knows that Brother is a lonely minister." ”

"You monkey, if I don't do this, it is inevitable that the emperor will have other thoughts, in case I am put on the side of Xu Jie, I will be taken down as an official of the Rong government!"

"But can Hu Zongxian cooperate with your plan?"

Xia Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You go and send this list in, show him, and tell him that if he can help me, I will find a way to send his share to the Emperor's Warm Pavilion!" ”

Luo Kedi nodded, took the fold and turned to leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The hospitality hall of Xiafu was built when the Yongle Emperor stayed in Beijing, and it was as big as five wings, even if one hundred and ten people sat in it, it did not seem crowded.

All the eunuchs or the wealthy families in Beijing have a theater in the guest hall, and this horse family is no exception

Outside.

I saw that the painted beams of the guest hall were extremely decorated, and the furniture was as large as the gold ornaments, wood carvings, six-fold screens, and as small as lacquer utensils, all of which were exquisite. Even the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the four walls are all fine works of the Song and Yuan dynasties. When night fell, the thirty-two palace lamps in the hall were lit up at once, shining as if it were day.

Yang Bo came in a small sedan chair, and Zhang Siwei came with him, Zhang Siwei and him are fellow villagers, and his uncle Wang Chonggu and Yang Bo have been friends for many years, and the friendship between the two families is very deep.

And Yang Bo has almost stopped since he was squeezed out of the center, but when it comes to politics, he just spends his mind on military affairs, and he is not in the capital all the year round, and he is at war with me in the north, but they all win and lose.

And this time Xia Mu invited him, he also guessed the reason, the day when the governor Jingying Rongzheng took office was approaching, the twelfth regiment and battalion reorganized a military salary, and the cost was huge, Yan Song didn't give money, and said that there was no money to give, so Yan Shifan even thought of a way to fold pepper and Sumu, that is, to be difficult for Xia Mu, since the household department does not give money, he can only work from the military department, but the military department has no money.

At this time, the old housekeeper welcomed them in, walked into the back garden, and saw that the garden was full of yellow flowers, white willow cross slopes, small bridges leading to Ruoye Creek, winding paths to the rooftop road.

The clear stream in the stone is turbulent, the hedge falls and the fragrance is wafting, the red leaves of the tree head are turning, the sparse forest is picturesque, the west wind is tight, the warbler cries at the beginning, the warm day is the time, and the words are added.

"Great view!" Yang Bo walked all the way, sighing that the palace in the past was luxurious, looking at the southeast, only to see a few pavilions by the mountains, looking at the northwest, knotting three waterfront Xuan, sheng springs and ears, there is no romance, Luo Qi wears the forest, adding charm.

At this time, Xia Mu saw that someone had arrived, and hurriedly said goodbye to Zhang Juzheng and Wang Shizhen from the outer flower hall, only to see that Yang Bo was already sitting in the south wing of the guest hall.

Xia Mu leaned over and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Old Yang, the kid is full of brilliance, and he finally invited you, the big Buddha!." ”

Yang Bo stood up, smiled dryly, and replied: "Governor Rong Zheng's invitation, who dares to return the Manchu minister!" ”

"I invite the boss to come today, just to listen to the drama and exchange feelings!" Xia Mu invited Yang Bo to come in and sit together.

But although Xia Mu said these words naturally, they still sounded a lie to Yang Bo. He knew that Xia Mu must have invited himself for the matter of the Twelfth Regiment Battalion.

Zhang Juzheng, Wang Shizhen, Li Chunfang, Guo Pu and others all sat down on the right side, Xia Mu accompanied Yang Bo to sit in the front, and on the left side were Yang Wan and Luo Kedi.

The banquet was held, and it was sung that Mu Guiying broke through the heavens, She Taijun set out in his seventies, and temporarily invited the best pear garden opera in Beijing to sing.

"The old man has been in good health recently, and I heard that the adult will be going north soon." Xia Mu chatted with Yang Bo while knocking on the melon seeds.

Everyone didn't have the heart to listen to the play, and listened to Xia Mu's words with their ears pricked up, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in this Hongmen banquet.

"This year, there is a shortage of money in the Ministry of War, and the salaries of the soldiers in the north cannot be paid, and life is hard, and the little prince is arrogant, so it's not good!" Yang Bo replied unexpectedly.

"This ......" Xia Mu was speechless when he heard it. In terms of level, Yang Bo is two levels higher than him, but in terms of title, he is greater than Yang Bo, because Yang Bo can't directly reply in the tone of an adult to his subordinates, so he has to turn eighteen corners and say these words.

Xia Mu secretly scolded this old man in his heart, knowing that he was short of money, the twelve regiments and battalions were about to open, and the military salary was not missing, so he deliberately said this. Thinking about it, he looked around and exclaimed, "The Ministry of War has no money, didn't Taicang issue 150,000 taels of silver to the Ministry of War this year?" ”

Yang Bo saw that he already knew the roots, his face stiffened, he smiled embarrassedly, and saw that Xia Mu was broken, but he hardened his heart and thickened his cheeks: "Uncle Ning Yuan is really good at laughing, who doesn't know that Taicang has no silver, Yan Shifan used pepper and sumu to fold it, and what was enough for the old man to do with that little silver, he had already pulled down the north, and those who paid for the military salary paid for the army, and those who bought grain and grass bought grain and grass!" ”

"This too!" Xia Mu hurriedly smiled, happy to talk to Yang Bo about wild cotton, and after a while, he said, "Actually, no silver is nothing." I heard that the old man likes to listen to music? ”

"So-so." Yang Bo smiled faintly and also started Tai Chi, "On weekdays, people in the house like to listen to music to relieve boredom, I practice my ears on the side, and I naturally like it when I practice more." ”

"It's okay tonight, why don't you choose a few tunes to listen to, how about it?"

"I heard that Uncle invited the most famous troupe tonight, and there are a few first-class singers."

"That's true, but it's good, it's bad to give it back to the boss himself."

"Why don't you change the time?" After Yang Bo finished Taiji, he was about to slip away, but he was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Xia Mu tonight.

"Why?" Xia Mu didn't plan to let go, and asked knowingly.

"I came in a hurry tonight, and Yaxing couldn't bring it up for a while."

"Yaxing still needs to mention it, as soon as the orchestra sounds, it will naturally come." Xia Muke didn't care about Yang Bo's words, he slapped him, and the old housekeeper came in response, Xia Mu asked him, "What about the troupe?" ”

"Master, you have already opened your face, sitting at the back of the theater."

"Tonight, I won't sing the jokes, you go find a good one, just sit here, and sing a few tunes to Lord Yang."

"Ugh." The old housekeeper agreed, and went upstairs quickly, and after a while, he led a girl with heavy makeup and light makeup down, followed by three musicians.

The girl approached, squatted down to Xia Mu and the others, and said softly: "Slave Xiaoyue, meet your uncle." ”

Xia Mu smiled, looked at Wang Shizhen and the others, the gaze that came out of his eyes was uncertain, raised his hand and pointed at Yang Bo and said, "Yue'er, this is Yang Bo, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, who likes to listen to tunes the most, you can sing a few songs." ”

Yue'er saluted Yang Bo again and said, "The slave family doesn't sing well, I hope the adults will forgive me, I don't know what kind of songs the adults like to listen to." ”

Where does Yang Bo have the heart to listen to the tune, the ghost knows what kind of murder is hidden in this Hongmen banquet, in case he falls into the trap in a while, he can't let Xia Mu, this kid, get it, and pay the money from the military department.

Thinking about Yang Bo, he pushed it, but Xia Mu insisted that he listen to any tune, and he couldn't push it off, so he had to act on the spot, and replied perfunctorily: "Any tune is fine." ”

"You can't just do it," Xia Mu hurriedly interjected, asked someone to hand over the repertoire, and said, "What do you want to hear, adults order it yourself." ”

Saying that, he looked at Li Chunfang and Wang Shizhen, and said: "Our brothers are here tonight, so we have to have fun, don't we have to have fun, I have to accompany Lord Yang, and the adults will say that we don't know the rules." ”

Zhang Juzheng and the others saw that Xia Muna pinched Yang Bo and went online, and they held back a smile in their hearts, but they didn't dare to laugh.
