Volume 1 The Storm Rises Chapter 192 Hou Mansion

Xiangxin pointed to the budding flower bones and said: "What I need is these flower bones, preferably chrysanthemums!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Li Yulong immediately fell into deep thought, Li Yulong didn't know that there were chrysanthemums in the city, but seeing that Xiangxin was so anxious, Li Yulong still looked at Ziyun and wanted to know if Ziyun knew anything about this aspect.

Ziyun also shook his head when he saw Li Yulong looking at him, but Liu Deng thought about it and said, "Young master, there seems to be a place with dense chrysanthemums in the woods outside the city, I don't know if there are many flower bones over there!" ”

Chengxin thought about it and still didn't let Liu Deng check it, returned to Yufengzhai, found the shopkeeper and explained to him what he needed, and saw that the shopkeeper knew what he meant, and Xiangxin sat comfortably on the chair, watching the troupe rehearse on stage, Chengxin couldn't help but sigh: "Let them do these trivial things, let's watch the play here!" ”

Liu Deng also liked this feeling of leisure, and sat alone in the back and watched the play.

After a while, the shopkeeper also returned, looked at him with satisfaction, and asked, "What about the girls?" Went to where to stay? ”

The shopkeeper nodded, looked at Xiangxin and said, "They went back to rest, and the tailor is also tailoring clothes for them, but the young owner, these girls' clothes cost so much silver, isn't it worth the loss!" ”

When he heard the shopkeeper's words, he knew that he was distressed about the silver, so he thought about it and said, "The shopkeeper feels sorry for the silver?" You don't have to, these girls are all treasures, and they will depend on them to make money in the future. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the shopkeeper with satisfaction, and said with some pride: "The people they serve are all nobles in the palace, and the people who serve in the future are all either rich or expensive, if they become our repeat customers, you can say that the silver will not be big in the future!" ”

The words of satisfaction made the shopkeeper suddenly brighten, he thought too narrowly before, only knew that these girls spent their own money, but did not expect that these girls would return to themselves hundreds or thousands of times in the future.

Finally, Liang Zhu's first words were almost rehearsed here, and Xiangxin was surrounded by the people of the troupe again, and Chengxin watched this scene and knew that if he didn't tell the story behind the White Snake, he might not be able to leave safely today.

He was very happy here, but Li Chengqian's side was confused, because he was forcibly written by Li Shimin yesterday, and today a notice was posted, and the impeachment was handed to Li Shimin just one morning.

At this time, Li Chengqian was honestly listening to Li Shimin's lecture, but Li Shimin was obviously acting for these ministers, and after these ministers left, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with a happy face and said: "The prince has suffered, but this is all your own fault, you can't complain about being a father!" ”

Li Chengqian had a loveless expression on his face, but suddenly remembered what he had heard this morning, and immediately asked: "Father, my son heard that General Hou was punished today, not only was he not promoted, but he was demoted by one level, and now he is punished and confined to the palace?" ”

Hearing Li Chengqian mention Hou Junji's name, Li Shimin's face was also a little unpleasant, but at this time, there were only old eunuchs in the Jinluan Palace except for Li Chengqian, Li Shimin sighed and said: "Hou Junji originally had a merit in capturing King Gaochang back, but before we were controlled by others, we wanted to borrow some food from Gaochang to help the people tide over the difficulties." ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin also sighed a little, "At that time, I explained to him, and I also promised him that I would make up for it in the future, but I didn't expect him to be still depressed, and in the last breath, he beat the soldiers on the curfew patrol, and accidentally killed a prostitute and girl after getting drunk in Changgefang." ”

Li Chengqian didn't hear so much inside information, and looked at Li Shimin with some surprise: "He still killed someone?" How so! ”

Li Shimin sighed, and said a little helplessly: "Originally, it was nothing to kill a prostitute and a woman by mistake, but I didn't expect this prostitute to be Tang Jian's son, Tang Songling's concubine, this kid didn't know where to get the news, he actually went to Jingzhao Yin Mansion to bring in officers and soldiers to arrest Hou Junji, this matter is known all over the city, and I have to punish him!" ”

Li Chengqian only then knew the whole reason for this matter, and he also knew that Hou Junji's temper was a little irritable when he got along with Hou Junji before, and he didn't know how to observe words and feelings, but Hou Junji's nature was still good, and he originally thought that there might be some misunderstanding in it, and wanted to plead for him, but when he heard that this was the case, Li Chengqian was also a little helpless.

Leaving the Jinluan Palace, Li Chengqian felt more and more that it was not a taste, Hou Junji and Cheng Yanjin, two generals, went out to conquer the Turks together, and the merits of the two generals were similar, but now Hou Junji has been punished, and Cheng Yanjin is still making meritorious service outside.

Once Cheng Yanjin returns to Chang'an, the kind of situation where the whole people cheer for him, I am afraid that the most stimulated person is Hou Junji.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and walked out of the palace with Brother Liang.

He first went to Mickey's restaurant to pack some food, and then swaggered to Hou Junji's house, looking at the closed door, although Li Chengqian had some concerns, he still knocked on the door openly.

The knock on the door of the bell bell came to the Hou Mansion, and the people who guarded the door opened the door after a while, after all, Hou Junji had been locked up in the house for a month, and no one came to the door, and suddenly someone came to knock on the main door, and the people were also a little confused.

The subordinates didn't know Li Chengqian, and when they saw this handsome and handsome young man, the subordinate guarding the door was a little puzzled and said, "Son, your surname, is your name?" What do you want to do when you come to Houfu? ”

Li Chengqian looked at him and said with some seriousness: "My surname is Li, and I naturally came to the Hou Mansion to find General Hou!" ”

As soon as they heard the surname Li, the subordinates were a little confused, there may be many people surnamed Li in this Chang'an City, but if they dare to claim their surname Li when they come to General Hou's mansion, it must be the Li family in the palace.

Thinking of this, the subordinate immediately opened the door, stretched out his hand to look at Li Chengqian and said: "Son, please come in, why don't you go through the back door, there are so many people on this street, I'm afraid it will affect you!" ”

Li Chengqian didn't have any expression, and motioned for his subordinates to lead the way, thinking in his heart at this time that if he was a few minutes late, maybe the food in his hand would be cold.

Hou Junji was sitting in the lobby, with a cup of tea soup still steaming in his hand, and Hou Junji was also a little shocked when he saw Li Chengqian coming.

I saw him stand up suddenly, and then slumped back in his chair.

Li Chengqian raised the dishes in his hand, then looked at Hou Junji and said, "Have you eaten it?" If you haven't eaten it, let's eat it together! ”

Hou Junjiqiang smiled, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "I haven't eaten it, then let's eat it together!" ”

Li Chengqian walked over by himself, then opened the food in his hand, and after spreading everything out on the table, Li Chengqian picked up the wine glass and wine jug and said, "Do you want to drink two sips?" ”

Hou Junji shook his head and said with some emotion: "If you don't drink it, you won't drink it in the future, you will make a mistake when you drink!" ”

Li Chengqian looked at him, and when he saw that he really didn't drink, he put down his wine glass, "I don't drink either, and I tell me that drinking is not good for my health, especially for my health!" ”

Hou Junji nodded, his face was a little more bloody, not as pale as before, I saw him pick up the chopsticks on the side and take a few bites of food, and said with some satisfaction: "The food outside is delicious, and the dishes made by the chef in my house are like those for pigs." ”

Li Chengqian said with some puzzlement: "If you want to eat, let your subordinates buy it, my father grounded you in the mansion, and he didn't block your subordinates!" ”

Hou Junji frowned, and his face returned to the ugly appearance just now, but he still said: "Now I am like a rat crossing the street, and it is too late for the people outside to avoid me!" ”

Speaking of this, Hou Junji looked at Li Chengqian with a smile on his face, "Then again, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to do when he comes to my mansion this time?" Preparing for your own accession to the throne later? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head, looked at Hou Junji and said: "No, are you thinking too much, I just returned to Chang'an not long ago, I heard that something happened to you here, I just want to come and see you, don't think about it." ”

Hou Junji smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "That's right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now popular with the people, and he has a high opinion of you both inside and out, so you don't need to waste time on me, a wasted person!" ”

Li Chengqian was a little surprised when he heard Hou Junji's words, in his opinion, General Hou has always been a very conceited person, although he was punished by Li Shimin this time, but there is no need to feel sorry for himself like this, but to find a way to turn the tables is Hou Junji.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian looked at Hou Junji and said, "General, what's wrong, why do you say that you are a waster?" The general's performance on the battlefield is known to everyone inside and outside the court, so why should he be hit by this trivial matter? ”

Hou Junji smiled when he heard Li Chengqian's words, "A trivial matter? That's a human life, it's not the life of the enemy, it's the life of my Datang children, even if she does a bad job, but she should die like this! ”

Li Chengqian was even more surprised, in his opinion, Hou Junji should be a person who is very arrogant and does not put the lives of the people in his heart, why is the life of a prostitute and a woman so important to Hou Junji?

Li Chengqian didn't ask deeply, only to see him take a bite of the dish and look at the tea soup in Hou Junji's hand and said: "Your tea soup is outdated, I am satisfied that I have researched a new tea in the past few days, and it tastes fragrant and pleasant, do you want to try it!" ”

Hou Junji was also a little surprised when he heard Li Chengqian's words, looked at Li Chengqian and said: "Another day, you can ask Xiangxin to send someone to send it to me, and the old man will also drink some tea praised by His Royal Highness the Prince, and see if it is as fresh and pleasant as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said." ”

Li Chengqian nodded, this matter can be regarded as a response, but Li Chengqian still has some questions, and when he saw that Hou Junji's face was better, he asked generously: "What did General Hou kill that person by mistake that day?" Do you remember what happened that night? ”
