Chapter 18 Uninvited
Han Jian first arrived, he had never heard of "Mrs. Luo", and he thought that he should have married a woman who married into the Luo family, and her husband died and came out to take charge of the house. Because it is the empress of the dynasty, the status of women has also improved, but the status quo of male superiority and female inferiority has not changed.
"Then how can I meet your host and talk about it?" Han Jian asked again.
Shopkeeper Song reluctantly smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to ask our host, our boss is ...... Very busy. ”
"We'll talk about that another day." Han Jian knew at a glance that this Song shopkeeper had no status under Mrs. Luo, and what he said was tantamount to nothing.
When Han Jian, Sima Yi, and Ruan Ping got out of the bookstore and arrived on the street, Han Jian instructed his guards to find out what the origin of "Mrs. Luo" was.
Although Han Jian has just reached adulthood and has not yet begun to take charge of the family, he can still mobilize the people of the Dongwang Mansion, and the Dongwang Mansion has more or less arranged some intelligence eyeliner in the capital, and it is natural to investigate the origin of a Luo wife.
The three of them first went to Qianzhuang to redeem the silver, and on the way back to Qingxu Yashe, Han Jian instructed: "Don't mention Qingyuefang and Xiliu girl to Yang Gongzi when you go back, visit Luoyang City as usual in the afternoon, and we will go to Qingyuefang by ourselves at night." Remember. ”
"Understood." Sima nodded with a lot of sophistication.
Ruan Ping, who was on the side, was puzzled and said: "Why is this, isn't it better to bring Yang Gongzi?" ”
"If he is really a person from the palace, let's take him to the ** Chu Pavilion and come back with a commotion, how will it end?" Han Jian said, "Besides, the people in the palace have to go back to the palace gate before nightfall, this is the rule." Don't talk about leaks. ”
Ruan Ping nodded as if he understood or not, Han Jian expected that Ruan Ping probably didn't even know what ** Chu Pavilion was doing, and he thought that he was really just going to "see".
Back to Qingxu Yashe, Yang Gongzi was really still waiting for the window seat upstairs, at this time after lunchtime, there were no guests in Qingxu Yashe, Yang Gongzi saw the three of them come back, and got up with a smile to welcome the stairs.
"The private affairs of the three of them, but they have already been handled?" As soon as they met, Yang Gongzi asked with concern.
"That's pretty much it." Han Jian said perfunctorily, and then asked, "Where are Yang Gongzi going to play when he comes out this time?" ”
Yang Gongzi thought for a while and said, "I heard that there is a singer from the Western Capital in Qingyuefang, Luoyang, named Xiliu Girl, I want to go and see it." ”
Han Jian and Sima glanced at each other, and just now they said not to mention the matter of Qingyuefang and Xiliu Girl to Yang Gongzi, but he didn't expect that he would know about it first, and it seemed that he was going to "see" it himself.
"This ...... Is it what Sister Ling means? Han Jian asked tentatively.
Yang Gongzi shook his head and said, "How can my sister know about trivial things, I heard the legends of people outside." ”
Han Jianxin said that this matter was not simple, and then said: "Young Master Yang, what is Qingyuefang, don't you know?" This kind of place, shouldn't we avoid taboos and go less? ”
"Can't you go to Qingyuefang?" Yang Gongzi was surprised, "I went there a few days ago, and the tea there tasted strong. ”
"But it is said that only some specific people are invited to Qingyuefang today, and you must have an invitation card to enter." Han Jian said another sentence bitterly.
Who knew that Yang Gongzi took out a red invitation from his arms and said: "I just have one here, I want to have a banquet for the three of you in Qingyue Fang today, please don't refuse." ”
Han Jian said helplessly: "Then thank you Yang Gongzi for your hospitality." ”
Han Jian was also really helpless, after knowing that Yang Gongzi came out of the palace, Han Jian wanted to keep a distance from Yang Gongzi first, and the occasions for socializing with him could only be limited to some "elegant" places, but Yang Gongzi had to invite them to Qingyuefang, and Han Jian was inconvenient to refuse.
Coming out of Qingxu Yashe, Yang Gongzi was happily going to hire a carriage and preparing to visit Luoyang City in the afternoon, Ruan Ping looked at Han Jian puzzled and asked, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't go to Qingyuefang with him?" ”
Han Jian rolled his eyes and didn't speak, and Sima Yi on the side said angrily: "Is it now that we are going?" It's Yang Gongzi's dead skin and shame that he has to invite us to go and drive the donkey to the shelf, so don't do anything. ”
Han Jian muttered: "There shouldn't be anything wrong, if something happens, he also caused it, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
was waiting for Yang Gongzi to hire a carriage to come over, and a guard from the Dongwang Mansion also came over to report to Han Jian the results of the investigation of the "Luo Lady", Han Jian didn't expect the efficiency of the intelligence officers of the East Wang Mansion to be so high, and only after hearing about it did he know that this Luo Lady was a celebrity in Luoyang City, so many of them didn't need to be investigated in too much detail.
“…… Mrs. Luo is a woman raised by Luojiaqiu, the former Dongge Shangshu, after Luojiaqiu's death, this woman put the Luo family's property outside the house, opened several businesses, and the business gradually expanded. This Mrs. Luo lives in a simple house on weekdays, but it is said that she is very close to Hu Deming, the Shaofu of Tingwei, and some people say that now Mrs. Luo has become Hu Deming's concubine...... Oh, forgive me, young master, concubine is the meaning of **. ”
Han Jian couldn't help frowning when he heard the name of Hu Deming of Tingwei Shaofu, this old man he saw yesterday, it can be said that he is a figure who is not afraid of heaven and earth, Tingwei Shaofu has the same official position as "Luoyang City Public Security Bureau Director and Deputy Minister of Public Security of Wei Dynasty" in this year, and he has power in his hands. A woman who has no husband still wants to develop in the business world, and it is normal for the court to be in the palace.
Han Jian thought to himself, this Hu Deming is old and ugly, and he is still so popular? The Nalo Lady is not a good bird either.
Who is Mrs. Luo, Han Jian is still not able to make a final conclusion, but he knows that he will definitely not be able to cooperate with such a woman who relies on power to do business.
"Okay, don't tell the princess about this. Go back and invite the brothers to drink. Han Jian said.
"The young master is really polite." The guard said a word and returned to the ranks of the guards. Han Jian is very familiar with these five big and three rough guards on weekdays, and he has a good relationship.
Seeing that Han Jian seemed to be thinking, Sima Yi asked, "Young Master, are you looking for someone to inquire about Mrs. Luo, do you want to continue to work with the people of the ink book store to publish books?" ”
"Probably not." Han Jian said, "The background of Moshu is so complicated, it is not suitable to be a business partner. Looking back and thinking about the bookstore, first think about how to deal with this Yang Gongzi. ”
Han Jian said, and Yang Gongzi also hired the carriage over.
"Have you heard about what happened in Cuiyang Tower yesterday?" Yang Gongzi asked as soon as he came over.
"Oh." Han Jian seemed to have nothing to do with him, "What's the matter?" ”
"Hedong famous scholar Pan Fuzi, held a piano party in Cuiyang Building, and the troublemaker was a young man, and it is said that he still made trouble with Pan Fuzi twice or three times in public. Alas, a generation of famous scholars has been discredited like this. Yang Gongzi said, with a lot of sighs in his tone.
"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and Pan Fuzi's reputation will be ruined, and it is by no means determined by what happened in one day." Han Jian said a word and beckoned people to get into the carriage.
Yang Gongzi was repeating what Han Jian had just said in a low voice, feeling very surprised, and when he got into the carriage, he sighed: "Why is Han Gongzi so thought-provoking? Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, but there is a source? ”
Han Jian was annoyed enough to be questioned by Ruan Ping alone about the origin of the words on weekdays, but now that there is another Yang Gongzi, Han Jian casually prevaricated and said "I heard it" and ignored it.
In the carriage, five people were stuffed at once, a little crowded, Han Jian simply came out to catch the car by himself, and asked Wen'er to sit with him by the way.
The three of them visited some old temples in Luoyang City in the afternoon, because the Wei Dynasty suppressed Buddhism, many temples have been vacant, originally Han Jian thought that Yang Gongzi also had some prejudices about Buddhism, who knew that he was very nostalgic for those displaced Buddhists, and often sent some feelings, specious words like a Buddhist monk reciting Amitabha Buddha there.
"Yang Gongzi believes in Buddhism?" In the end, Han Jian couldn't help but ask.
"I don't believe it, but it's not all unbelieving, and it's good for Buddhism to be good to the people of the world. Taoism is not good in everything, and Buddhism is not bad in everything. When Yang Gongzi spoke, he seemed even more unfathomable.
When Han Jian heard this, he had the meaning of dialectical materialism. The heart said that the education that Yang Gongzi received on weekdays was inclusive, not that he was so columsy on the outside.
Han Jian didn't dare Yang Gongzi to continue to study the affairs of the Buddhist family, he was afraid that Yang Gongzi would be annoyed by him asking such and such questions like Ruan Ping.
By the end of the tour, the sun was already slanting westward and approaching dusk. A few people returned to the lively place in the city and found a teahouse to rest.
This teahouse is only one street away from Qingyuefang, which is convenient for them to go to Qingyuefang in a while. At this time, in the teahouse, there was a storyteller talking about the Three Kingdoms, and he was talking about Zhuge Liang's six out of Qishan, and he was slashing horses with tears. This is the part near the end of Han's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
There are many guests in the teahouse, and the difference with Qingxu Yashe is that the consumer class in the teahouse is the middle class of Luoyang City, and Qingxu Yashe is a place of high-end consumption in Luoyang City. As soon as Han Jian sat down, he saw a few "familiar" guests sitting in front of a table not far away, which was the "Southern Qi Envoy" he had seen in Qingxu Yashe yesterday, and the great eunuch Zhu Tongjing was also among them.
Soon Yang Gongzi also spotted Zhu Tongjing's figure, pointed, and Han Jian said in a low voice: "When I didn't see it." ”
Several people nodded and continued to listen to the commentary.
Although they entered the teahouse just to rest and prepare for going to Qingyuefang for a while, because they saw the people of Nanqi, Han Jian's mind was completely on that table of guests. Not long after, after commenting on the story, Zhu Tongjing got up and left with his attendants, and did not glance at Han Jian from beginning to end.
Han Jian looked at the direction in which Zhu Tongjing and the others from Southern Qi were going, and it seemed that it was Qingyuefang that they were going.
"They also went to Qingyuefang?" Sima got up and looked at the backs of those people, and said with a wicked smile on his face, "Eunuch going to **?" That's not all...... Interesting, interesting......"
Ruan Ping stared at Sima Yi, and it seemed that he didn't understand Sima Yi's words.
"It's interesting." Han Jian glared at Sima Yi and said, "If there is an intersection, then how should we deal with it?" That's a Nanqi person, if you can't get it right, if you are accused of collaborating with the enemy, things will be difficult to handle. ”
Yang Gongzi smiled freely and said, "It's okay." ”
