Chapter 36 Seclusion in Maoling
As a Chinese, you may not know who Li Yannian is, but it is estimated that no one will not know the poem "There is a beautiful woman in the north", and his whole poem "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent." One look at the city, and then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country? Beauty is rare! It has been sung through the ages, and has evolved into a synonym for a peerless beauty, 'Alluring the country and the city'.
And this Yuefu poem is precisely written by Li Yannian, and it is even more coincidental that the peerless beauty depicted in the poem is his sister Li Yan, that is, Mrs. Li, who was favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his later years.
Huo Guang would never have thought that so many coincidences happened on this day, not only met his lifelong enemy Sang Hongyang, but also met Mrs. Li, who had not yet entered the palace. For Huo Guang, this is not only a coincidence, but also a great opportunity.
Li Yan's beauty can undoubtedly rank first in the entire period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and although her life was short, no one could match the years of Emperor Wu of Han's favor. Since Li Yan has not yet entered the palace, he has too many opportunities to befriend him, and in fact, Huo Guang has left a very good impression in Li Yan's heart.
"Huo Gongzi knows his brother?" Li Yan was also very curious, her brother was just a musician in the palace, and it stands to reason that a person with status like Huo Guang would not know Li Yannian at all.
"Oh, no...... I just arrived in Chang'an yesterday, but I heard in the house that there is a pair of brothers and sisters in Chang'an City, who are good at dancing and dancing, and their art is unparalleled in the world, that is, I heard the name of Brother Li. Huo Guang also found that he was a little out of shape just now, and hurriedly found an excuse to explain, since the crossing, Huo Guang found that his ability to lie has become more and more powerful, sometimes after a lie is finished, Huo Guang himself feels as if it is really like that.
"Huh? Am I so famous? Li Yannian smiled a little embarrassedly, but Li Yan frowned slightly, a little suspicious of Huo Guang's words. However, her impression of Huo Guang was too good, and now Huo Guang's image in her eyes was simply perfect, so although she had some doubts, she immediately disappeared.
"It's really a blessing to see Aunt Li Yan's demeanor today! I wonder if I will be able to see my sister-in-law again? Huo Guang hurriedly patted the fart, of course, this fart was also from the bottom of his heart. He is now thinking about how to get in touch with Li Yan, and now Li Yan is a real 'strange commodity to live in'!
"Hehe, Childe laughed. As long as the son does not dislike the little girl, the little girl is willing to perform at any time. It's just that I heard just now that Gongzi is a noble person of the Champion Hou Mansion." Li Yan is still young but has also reached the age of the beginning of love, he is the same age as Huo Guang, and Huo Guang's performance just now has made her feel emotional. At that moment, Li Yan expressed her thoughts euphemistically, although the euphemism was already obvious.
Huo Guang was first overjoyed when he heard this, and then he was a little worried in his heart. To be honest, a peerless beauty like Li Yan is tempted by normal men when they see it. But Huo Guang knew that the delicate beauty in front of him was the woman of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the future, and Huo Guang was not the kind of animal who would only think with his lower body when he saw a woman. And from the very beginning, Huo Guang didn't have that YY spirit, and wanted to build a big harem in ancient times.
It is undeniable that Li Yan is a peerless beauty, even if Huo Guang is now deliberately accepting Li Yan, but this result is just that Huo Guang has one more woman. But if Li Yan still became the Lady Li of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Li Yan, who became Lady Li on that day, was still very dependent on Huo Guang, then Huo Guang's harvest would be unexpected.
This is also the essence of 'Strange Goods'!
"Could it be that Childe is someone from the champion Hou?" Li Yannian only sounded at this time, Huo Guang did say that he was a person from the Champion Hou Mansion, and his surname was Huo, so it was natural to associate Huo Guang and Huo Quai. The reputation of the champion Hou Huo is very great even among the ordinary people of Chang'an, especially the victory in the Battle of Mobei, coupled with the title of the Great Sima Hussar General, has long become the talk of Chang'an City after dinner.
"The hussar general is my brother. I am also fated with the two, and I don't have any friends in Chang'an, if the two of you don't dislike it, you can come to me if you have any difficulties in the future, and no one will embarrass you if you come to the Hou Mansion with this. (Pingnan romance) "Huo Guang took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Li Yan, this jade pendant is very simple, but the words 'Champion Hou' are engraved on the side of the jade pendant, and this kind of jade pendant is not only one, it is prepared by Huo Qubing for his henchmen, and with this jade pendant, he can pass through the Champion Hou Mansion.
This time, Li Yan accepted it without the slightest hesitation. Then she solemnly took the jade pendant into her arms, as if in her eyes, the jade pendant was worth more than the bag of gold.
"Second master, it's not too early. Hou Ye is estimated to have returned home, why don't we go back first? "Because of Sang Hongyang, in fact, Huo Guang has been here for a long time. Lao Qi's reminder actually has another meaning, that is, it has a conflict with Sang Hongyang, and this matter should still be known to Huo Qubing earlier, so that he can do some coping measures in advance.
"Well, well!" Huo Guang also understood what Lao Qi meant.
Seeing that Huo Guang was about to leave, Li Yannian was excited and didn't know what to do, but Li Yan showed a slight regret. Although this era is very open, Li Yan is a girl after all, although she is already very satisfied that Huo Guang left her a jade pendant, but Li Yan also hopes that Huo Guang can ask where she lives. Li Yan also knew that with this gold, he and his brother would definitely not come to the tavern, so it would be very inconvenient for Huo Guang to find him.
"Wait, how did I forget this!" Just when Li Yan was disappointed, Huo Guang suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Ah, what's the matter with Childe?" Li Yan's originally lost face immediately flushed with a blush, but her tone was quite calm.
"That's the case, the girl once said before, 'But ask for one heart, and the white head is not separated' This seems to be from the talented girl Zhuo Wenjun in Linqiong, I don't know what the relationship between the sister-in-law and her is?" Huo Guang really forgot about this, Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru are also two people that Huo Guang admires very much, since he came to the Western Han Dynasty, he naturally wants to meet these two when he has the opportunity. Especially Sima Xiangru, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty loves him very much, if he can get his favor, he can indirectly understand the character of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
"Childe knows Aunt Sima?" Li Yan looked at Huo Guang in some surprise.
"Aunt Sima, his husband's name is Sima Changqing." Huo Guang hurriedly said, but he was muttering in his heart, could it be that Li Yan and Sima Xiangru are still relatives?
"What? You said that Uncle Sima was the former Zhonglang General? This was Li Yannian's surprise. The performance of the two brothers and sisters suddenly made Huo Guang puzzled, judging from these few conversations, Li Yan's brother and sister did know Sima Xiangru and his wife, and it seemed that the relationship was not shallow, but the brother and sister didn't seem to know that the person they knew was the former Zhonglang general Sima Xiangru.
"I have always admired Sima Da's talent, I hate not to be born at the same time, and then I heard that Sima Daren resigned due to illness, and no one knows his news, I have already lost my thoughts, but I didn't expect you to know him!" Huo Guang said another affectionate and lushful statement, but his statement was similar to what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said when he first met Sima Xiangru's article.
"Actually, although my family has been an advocate for generations, my brother and I did not pass on the skills from our parents, but from a neighbor couple. We didn't know where they came from, and we only knew that the family's surname was Sima, but we didn't want it to be the Zhonglang General. Li Yan said with memories. Sima Xiangru was still very famous in the Western Han Dynasty, but at that time, there was no media in later generations, except for acquaintances, but no one knew what you looked like when you walked out of the village in that era. Listening to Li Yan's meaning, Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun should have lived in seclusion to Li Yan's place a few years ago.
"Great, so they live near your house?" Huo Guang didn't expect that he really found Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun when he asked casually, and what was even more coincidental was that the music and dance attainments of Li Yannian and Li Yan actually benefited from Sima Xiangru and his wife.
"Uncle Sima is less than 100 meters away from my house." Li Yan replied very affirmatively, and she was also a little happy at the moment, because seeing that Huo Guang was so similar to Sima, then he would definitely go, doesn't that mean that he knows where his family lives?
"In what place? Can you take me there? Huo Guang asked.
"It's in Maoling, of course you can take Gongzi there." Li Yan said with a smile on her face, in fact, she couldn't ask for it in her heart!
"Maoling, this is a bit far away...... It must be too presumptuous to go at this time. I wonder if you'll be available tomorrow? "Huo Guang knew that Maoling was the mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the tombs of ancient emperors were built when the emperor ascended the throne, and Maoling was built in the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it has been repaired for nearly 20 years now. The construction of each imperial mausoleum had to levy hundreds of people to move into the imperial mausoleum to live, and there were already many villages in Maoling now.
"Of course, there is time to serve Childe, no problem, no problem. We can wait for Gongzi outside the Hou Mansion tomorrow morning. Li Yannian had regained his composure after such a long time, and he naturally would not let go of every opportunity to befriend Huo Guang, so he hurriedly said.
Originally, Huo Guang wanted to let their brothers and sisters live in the Champion Hou Mansion tonight, but seeing Li Yannian holding the gold, it is estimated that what they want most at the moment is to go home. Huo Guang also dispelled the idea of leaving the two of them, and if he went to see Sima Xiangru tomorrow, he could also prepare first, and meeting Sima Qian and Su Wu in the morning was a good negative example.
"It's okay, but you still have to go back to the Hou Mansion with me first." Huo Guang responded, but the latter words made the brother and sister stunned.
"Haha, don't worry, I just want to arrange a few guards to send you back, I don't worry about you going out like this." Huo Guang said with a laugh, and gestured with his eyes to the golden cake that Li Yannian was holding in his arms.
