Due to the bad weather, the banquet banquet in the Zheliu Courtyard was changed from the Canglang Pavilion to the flower hall in the front yard.

Huo Xunmei invited Wu Zhongen and his wife who wanted to form an association today.

"Sir, Pei Fuyin rejected my request with Jing in one mouth, do you think, should the matter of the association be stopped?" Wu Zhongen asked in a frightened whisper.

With his status as a musician, it is a blessing to be able to intersect with Huo Xunmei. Therefore, when Huo Xunmei proposed to ask him to go to Pei Renkui to discuss the formation of the association, Wu Zhongen did not think much about it, so he agreed.

Hu Xianzhi thought that this matter was very inappropriate. The Wangguo drum song was made by Xie Langjun, and the two of them were able to go to the Guangming Hall and play it for His Majesty the Emperor and the civil and military officials. This is the highest honor for them. It is precisely because of the great success of Wangguo's drum music that the two of them received invitations from many dignitaries, and their worth also rose.

All of this is thanks to Xie Langjun. They formed an association in private and promoted the back drum of Tubo, didn't they rob Xie Langjun of his exploits? Became an ungrateful villain?

Hu Xianzhi persuaded him with good words, but Wu Zhongen ignored it and blindly stubbornly held his own opinions. Hu Xianzhi had no choice but to follow Wu Zhongen's wishes and work with him to persuade Pei Renkui.

However, acting in this way is ultimately contrary to Hu Xianzhi's original intention. Pei Renkui refused, but fell into Hu Xianzhi's arms.

The matter was not done, Wu Zhongen felt that he should inform Huo Xunmei, so he handed over the post to meet him in the other courtyard.

Huo Xunmei always had a decent smile on her face, and said indifferently: "Ah Zhong, Pei Fuyin must tell Xie Langjun about your intention to form an association." We can't afford to retreat at this point. ”

Wu Zhongen's small character Azhong.

Hu Xianzhi always felt that the word Azhong came out of Huo Xunmei's mouth, with a slight contempt.

However, Wu Zhongen believes that Huo Xunmei and him have a sincere relationship, and they can be so intimate regardless of each other, and every time Huo Xunmei calls him "Ah Zhong", Wu Zhongen is very happy.

Huo Xunmei kept saying "we", but he just moved his mouth, and Wu Zhongen mediated from beginning to end.

Hu Xianzhi pondered for a moment, smiled with his eyebrows, and said: "Mr. was born in a family, has a wide range of people, and is more clever than musicians like us who show off their skills. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Zhongen's face sank, and he looked at Hu Xianzhi from the corner of his eyes, and coughed lightly.

The implication is self-explanatory.

Huo Xun condescended to be noble, and it was not easy to make friends with them. What's more, Hu Xianzhi is a woman, how can she be as far-sighted as Huo Xunmei? Now, Huo Xunmei shows them the way, and they just do what they say. If this can really be achieved, Wu Zhongen and Hu Xianzhi will definitely be able to make a big splash in Kyoto, and by that time, their worth will inevitably double and rise.

However, what Hu Xianzhi said is not unreasonable. If Huo Xunmei is willing to say something, Pei Fu Yin will not give him face.

Wu Zhongen was afraid that Hu Xianzhi would speak frankly and suddenly. He pondered for a moment, smiled slightly and said, "Don't blame sir, Jing is also a good intention." After all, we are light-hearted, but Pei Fuyin's refusal is also reasonable. Mr. is not, Mr. is a child of the Huo family in Mozhou, and even His Majesty the Emperor has to give Mr. some thin noodles. ”

Hu Xianzhi glanced at Wu Zhongen, whose voice was soft and deliberately cheerful, and his heart swelled with sourness. In the past, Wu Zhongen was arrogant and stubborn, and he refused to bend his waist at all. However, in order to be able to occupy a place in Kyoto. Wu Zhongen slowly parted ways with the disdainful and likable him in the past, and went their separate ways.

The price of the Wu couple's fame in Kyoto was the abandonment of different customs.

Whenever he dreams back at midnight, Hu Xianzhi will definitely see himself who is in distress but sticks to his heart. That's the real Hu Xianzhi. Now that people are sufficient, Hu Xianzhi, who wanders in the bustling world, only knows fame and fortune.

She, they, lost themselves.

Hearing this, Huo Xunmei's face was embarrassed, she stroked her beard with one hand, and sighed: "Ah Zhong, you don't know anything!" As he spoke, he suddenly paused, took the wine jug from the handmaiden's hand, and poured the spout on the undrunk wine cup in front of Wu Zhongen.

Wu Zhongen was flattered, and hurriedly held Huo Xunmei's elbow with both hands, and said, "Mr. is tormented by Ah Zhong!" ”、

Huo Xunmei smiled dryly, handed the wine jug to the maid who was waiting on the side, and asked, "Ah Zhong, as a descendant of the Huo family in Mozhou, is it appropriate for me to discuss and form an association with Pei Fu Yin?" ”

The implication is that such a trivial matter as an association is a pearl to be done by the descendants of the Huo family in Mozhou. If he does, it will also damage the reputation of the Mozhou Huo family. Wu Zhongen himself is a musician, and it is most appropriate for him to take the lead.

Having said that, Huo Xunmei's slightly raised eyes and the arrogance that flowed out of his eyes all showed that he had contempt for Wu Zhongen. Hu Xianzhi saw it clearly from the side, and couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Huo Xunmei.

Wu Zhongen looked solemn, slowly bowed his head thoughtfully, and said, "What Mr. said is very true." ”

Hu Xianzhi flattened his mouth, secretly annoyed that Wu Zhongen not only couldn't see that Huo Xunmei looked down on him and his wife, but also obeyed Huo Xunmei's orders and flattered him. Hu Xianzhi didn't want Wu Zhongen to repeat the mistakes of the past, so he all listened to Huo Xunmei's fiddling, so he raised his right foot and stepped on Wu Zhongen's left foot.

Wu Zhongen and Hu Xianzhi have been married for more than ten years, and they can understand it without too many words. The meaning of Hu Xianzhi's kick, Wu Zhongen can figure out seven or eight points, but he deliberately pretended to be stupid, turned his head and curled the corners of his lips towards Hu Xianzhi, and teased: "You can't eat more of the wine here." If you get drunk, I won't carry you back. ”

After finishing speaking, Huo Xunmei immediately took over the conversation, "Don't be afraid if you eat too much." Sister-in-law and Ah Zhong stayed in another courtyard at night, and they ran around again. ”

When Wu Zhongen heard this, he smiled and declined: "Thank you, sir, for your kindness." However, Jing is nostalgic for the mattress at home, and it is difficult to sleep outside. After that, he looked at Huo Xunmei and smiled.

Hu Xianzhi was exposed by Wu Zhongen, and his face was blue and white, and he was very embarrassed. She was even more annoyed that Wu Zhongen was open-mouthed and told outsiders about her habits.

Huo Xunmei saw Hu Xianzhi's embarrassed face, so she turned the conversation back: "Ah Zhong, there has been a lot of rumors in Kyoto recently, saying that the princess's mansion has taken care of you and the two of you, is this true?" ”

Princess Mansion refers to Princess Hyeyeon's Mansion.

Hu Xianzhi frowned. In the final analysis, it was still relying on the support of Xie Langjun Wangguo's drum music that Princess Huiyan favored the two of them. During this time, whenever the princess's mansion hosted a banquet or a family banquet, Princess Huiyan would invite them to come over the house to play for fun.

Wu Zhongen raised his eyebrows proudly and nodded in response: "Yes, Jing and I do often receive invitations from the princess's mansion. ”

Huo Xunmei will never say nothing. Hu Xianzhi secretly guessed what Huo Xunmei's intentions were, so he heard Wu Zhongen say again: "The princess is really frank and generous, and she never spares money. ”

How can you talk about princess temperament with outsiders?

Even if there is not half an ugly word, it is extremely inappropriate.

Hu Xianzhi hurriedly sandwiched a slice of Ao pork for Wu Zhongen, and said with a smile: "Ah Zhong, you don't eat much in the morning, and you should be hungry if you talk for so long......"

Wu Zhongen didn't understand, frowned, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Let's put it there first." ”
