Chapter 445 Tossing and Turning

Ji Zhen wanted to give the non-cigarette to Zhongshu Ling Zhang said, but Zhang said that he was quite hesitant after learning about it. In fact, concubines and beauties are no different from jade, calligraphy and paintings and other things in the hands of dignitaries, and it is also a fashion to send them around, but the problem is that he and Ji Zhen are not friends on an equal footing, and Ji Zhen has just been promoted, which makes him a little evasive.

Zhang said that in recent years, he has studied the military system and national defense the most, but he is a literati through and through, and he was born at that time after the martial arts was virtuous and square. He usually writes poems and fiddles with literature and ink, and even likes to collect folk tastes and write stories, such as "The Green Messenger" is from his pen, printed into a book and given to officialdom friends, Xue Chongxun also has a copy. Poet, writer, and politician are his identity, and he does not often mention military attainments.

So he also likes to associate with talented and learned celebrities, and he also had literary and ink contacts with the madman He Zhizhang before, but after the disparity in official positions, Zhang Shuo held his own identity and was not willing to be too enthusiastic and polite with low-ranking people.

So Zhang Shuo looked back at the left and right staff and said: "There is a difference between the top and bottom, if I accept Ji Zhen's kindness as a friend, it is a bit far-fetched; Colleagues will privately criticize Zhang for being greedy for money and lust, and will also discuss whether Ji Zhen's promotion has given me any benefits. ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Shuo is really not very good, but he is a little greedy for money, of course, for the sake of status and power, both can be thrown. Others are more thoughtful about giving him money and things than giving them to women, but of course he didn't dare to accept He Zhizhang's money for no reason, and even the woman was going to decline.

He thought that He Zhizhang's matter was something that the young uncle of the Jin Palace's palace said, so he reminded his staff: "You find a reason to refuse, don't hurt Ji Zhen's feelings too much." ”

The staff understood, and thought of a very clever way, thinking that Liu An, the prime minister of the central government, had stayed in Luoyang for many years, and must be familiar with the name of the prostitute, so he said to He Zhizhang: The lord (Zhang said) is busy with official affairs and has no time to spend time in the wind and snow, I heard that Liu Xianggong of the household department admires the name of non-smoke, why doesn't Ji Zhen be an adult and give the woman to Liu Xianggong? The lord also has the merit of recommending flowers to offer Buddha.

He Zhizhang couldn't help it when he heard it, everyone said it, can he not give it to Liu An?

He went back and told Feiyan about the matter, saying that he would not go to Zhang Xianggong's mansion and go to Liu's mansion instead.

Fei Yan is embarrassed and indignant: "I have no grudge or hatred with He Gong, what do you want to do, will I give up?" Although I came from a humble background, I am not a gift of goods that people don't want for nothing! ”

He Zhizhang also felt that this matter was a little uncomfortable for her, so he explained: "Zhongshu Ling has already recommended you to Liu Shangshu, if I don't honor it, wouldn't it be a dishonest person?" ”

"Then you don't care about breaking my trust at all?"

He Zhizhang said: "What have I promised, and how can I talk about breaking my promises? ”

Poor Feiyan is not familiar with the place in Chang'an, and he doesn't even have a person to rely on, only Ren He Zhizhang sent it as a bargaining chip to make friends with colleagues after entering Beijing. Fortunately this time, Liu An did not shirk it, and accepted it generously. If the old ministers of the political hall are still a little scrupled, the people of the Xue Party are simply unscrupulous, accept bribes and flattery without avoiding suspicion, and under certain default rules, they are all blatant and never sneaky, what is it to accept a concubine? Liu An also saved Ji Zhen's face.

Liu An has been an official under the Xue Chongxun faction for several years, in addition to doing a lot of things that are beneficial to the people's livelihood of the country, he has also made a lot of money, and in just a few years, the scale of the local mansion in Chang'an is not much smaller than that of the Jin Dynasty, and the real estate in Luoyang and his hometown has also been renovated once, and his family and relatives enjoy wealth and prosperity. The mansion is so rich and wide that it is not smoked, and you can't find the north and south when you enter Liu's mansion.

…… But that's not all. Liu An was naturally very surprised when he heard the name of non-smoke, but he was busy thinking about raising military expenses recently, and some policies must be supported by the courtiers, especially Zhongshuling, so he didn't have a cigarette, and he didn't even see Feiyan once.

One day, he met Zhang Jiuling on Zhuque Street and greeted him for a while, and the two naturally talked about some common topics, such as Liu An, who also participated in the reception dinner of the Jin Palace, so they can talk about this kind of topic that everyone can talk about. Zhang Jiuling mentioned that Xue Chongxun lived a frugal life for the Northern Expedition, "The gifts given by the Tubo people were also sent to the treasury by the young uncle according to Xue Lang's wishes; And last time Liu Xianggong went to the banquet, I also saw that in the huge prince's mansion, there are only more than ten courtesans in the family, which is not as good as a local assassin historian. The prince is like this, and we should encourage him. ”

Liu An stroked his palms when he heard this: "Xue Lang's family lacks songs|prostitutes? Ha, it just so happens that my disciple has just accepted a person who can be met but cannot be obtained! Her name is Bu Feiyan, Zishou has not lived in Luoyang for a long time and does not know her name, but Xue Lang has also seen it, so he should know the value of this woman...... Since there is a shortage of people in the palace, it is not easy to find talents like Feiyan, who know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, song and dance, lyrics and music! It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, it's better for Zishou to go back to the house with me, how about taking it back to the Jin Palace? ”

Zhang Jiuling hurriedly said: "I don't know how much it is worth? ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu An smiled, "I can still accept Xue Lang's money, but Zishou is telling jokes." ”

"This ......," Zhang Jiuling pondered for a moment. Liu An said excitedly: "I'm too anxious, in this way, after Zishou returns to the house, he will mention this matter to the prince of the kingdom, and ask him to send a few slaves to pick it up another day." The young uncle is really young and promising, and he has become a big responsibility before he is weak! ”

Sure enough, Zhang Jiuling said casually: "Actually, the affairs of the pro-kingdom are discussed by a few of us, but there is no need to discuss the trivial matter of adding one or two prostitutes to the house?" Liu Xianggong's hospitality is difficult to resist, so I am respectful rather than obeying. ”

So Liu An invited Zishou to the same car, although the official positions are very different, but the fight is hot, Liu An is not at all good in front of Zhang Zishou, he once said to his own people that the prime minister of Zishou is not like a human thing.

At this point, Liu An is much more easy-going than Zhang Shuo, compared to those with low official positions, they are all smiling and do not put on a show, and when those people get up, they also save a lot of mustard; At the beginning, Zhang Shuo encountered such unnecessary contradictions, there was once an official who was originally lower than his official position, Zhang Shuo looked inferior in front of others, but once he was unlucky and fell to the military department, others were higher than himself, and he was very embarrassed when he met.

Liu and Zhang sat together in the carriage, and Liu An said shamelessly: "He Jizhen said that non-smoking is still complete, and I didn't dare to move when I arrived at Liu's house, so I stayed to honor the prince." This kind of flattery has exceeded the bottom line of civil officials' demeanor, but Liu An said it very easily, and the meaning of flattery was undisguised.

Zhang Jiuling was stunned and looked left at him. The heart said that Liu Xianggong was shameless, but I couldn't do this when I spoke.

When the two arrived in the living room, Liu An accompanied Zhang Jiuling to drink tea, and sent someone to bring Feiyan over. After a while, I saw a light silk crisp sleeve style coming, the breath of the living room suddenly cleared, even the tea seemed to be more fragrant, and the originally ordinary house with green tiles was full of poetry and picturesqueness. Liu An was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "I really shouldn't have met Zishou today." ”

Liu An was moved, but Zhang Jiuling was still stable, and he could maintain a gentleman's words and deeds at any time, so he asked with a smile: "Where did Liu Xianggong say this?" Could it be that I am too presumptuous to visit today? ”

"Definitely." Liu An turned around and said, "To be honest, although I have seen Feiyan in Luoyang, my impression has faded after a long time, and I have not been able to meet him alone like this." When I saw it today, I regretted agreeing to Zishou. ”

Feiyan was curious about what Liu An promised this thirty-year-old official, because he was unfamiliar and difficult to ask, so he gave a salute and said: "The concubine has seen Liu Xianggong, I don't know what this Ming Duke is called?" ”

Suddenly, when asked Liu An, he was stunned, he usually called Zhang Jiuling when he saw him, but he couldn't even remember what Zhang Jiuling's official position was, only that he was an official in the Jin Palace. Zhang Jiuling understood it at a glance, and hurriedly opened his mouth to solve the difficulty: "My surname is Zhang, it is arbitrary, you don't have to be polite and polite." ”

Fei Yan saluted Zhang Jiuling again: "Meet Mr. Zhang." ”

Zhang Jiuling doesn't talk nonsense with a song prostitute, no matter what kind of oiran or famous prostitute she is, according to the habit of acting on official occasions, she still hugged her fists and arched her hand to Feiyan with a smile, and then turned back to Liu An and said: "A gentleman doesn't take advantage of people, if Liu Xianggong really wants to regret it, just don't mention it today, and I won't mention it again, which will leave Feiyan to leave." ”

Feiyan understood this time, Liu An is going to transfer himself to others again? She was so numb that she couldn't have any feelings, and still smiled and said, "Liu Xianggong is praising the concubine, but I really don't dare to take it." ”

Liu An laughed, "The better the thing, the more Liu doesn't dare to hide it privately, not to mention that he promised Zishou." If I regret it now, wouldn't I say that everything we offer is not good, and we will withhold it once we can see it? ”

For this kind of red and falling words, Zhang Jiuling was simply speechless. Feiyan is also speechless, she doesn't want to say anything more for a long time, since she is destined to be displaced, where can she stay, is there still a choice?

Liu An still couldn't help but take a few more glances when he handed over the people, and his eyes were a little reluctant, he was also a person who knew how to appreciate things like artworks.

Zhang Jiuling also knew the etiquette and etiquette of non-smoke, let her sit in the car, and rode a horse by herself beside the car without squinting at all, which was quite a Confucian style. Feiyan wondered, it stands to reason that Liu An is a high-ranking prime minister of the imperial court, and he wants to give up his hobby to "dedicate" this person, what is the identity of this person surnamed Zhang? Just now in the living room, the two of them were talking in the clouds, and it was difficult to understand after listening to some of them. Feiyan thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with anything he had heard of surnamed Zhang who could be above the prime minister, Zhongshu Ling Zhang said? Didn't he refuse?

Although she could only drift with the waves, she always wanted to know where she was going next, so she gently lifted the curtain and asked, "May I ask Ming Gong, where are we going?" ”

"King Jin's Mansion." Zhang Jiuling replied indifferently.

King Jin is like thunder, and she is also a celebrity in the streets and alleys of Luoyang, whether it is about his military exploits or bad words, the good and bad are very famous anyway. She understood, this surname Zhang was a person from the Jin Palace, no wonder Liu Xianggong was still polite to sit with him.

Zhang Jiuling said one more sentence: "I will send you to the mansion in a while, and I will not enter the palace mansion, and the office will be in the kingdom." When you go to the house, if it is Mrs. Sun's arrangement, you have to listen, Mrs. Sun remembers? ”

Fei Yandao: "Thank you Ming Gong for your kind reminder, I remember." ”

She lowered the curtain and whispered self-deprecatingly: "King Jin wants to reward me to his subordinates or so-and-so's favorite ministers this time, who knows?" ”

This time she came to Chang'an to encounter a simple adventure, how many times have she been sent back and forth, these dignitaries and nobles are also gentlemen, no one touches her, but they are torturing her heart, how much better is this treatment than the women who receive guests in Xiaojinlou are tortured?
