The young man named Chengzi glanced at Yu Ren and the others, and leaned into Liang Ruji's ear and said something. When Liang Ruji heard this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly bowed to Yu Ren. "The student suddenly has an urgent matter here, so I won't take my husband with me. I'll come back to Mr. another day. ”

After speaking, Liang Ruji didn't wait for Yu Ren to answer, and hurriedly followed the man.

Yu Ren watched Liang Ruji leave in a hurry and sighed softly. Because he left in too much hurry, he didn't even leave an address, and there was no phone in this era, so I was afraid that it would not be so easy for me to find him again in the future.

Of course, he also had doubts. What this Liang Ruji was doing, he never said. Looking at his actions, it seems to have some kind of mystery. It is impossible to say that he is an official, and it seems that he is in business. Rather, he is a bit like the so-called "social activist" in modern society, and he is somewhat similar to the old monk who has been in exile for many years and encouraged foreigners to support him to go to Tibet to fight for independence.

"Can you come to our house, sir?" My young master has been waiting for you for a long time. It was the attendant sent by Hou Jingru who spoke. His words were whispered and seemed a little unconfident.

Yu Renzheng was guessing the identity of this Liang Ruji, and was suddenly reminded by this attendant of the Hou family, and then remembered that he had promised Hou Jingru to go to their house for a banquet, but he forgot to talk about it when he talked to this Liang Ruji. When I looked up, it was already dark. Yu Ren patted his head a little embarrassed.

"Ahh I'm so embarrassed, I almost forgot what I promised your young master. Okay, you lead the way! ”

When the attendant heard this, he was busy leading the way with joy.

Because Zhao Rui was unwilling to make contact with this Hou Jingru, she went back alone. Yu Ren followed the attendant through a few streets and came to a wide alley. The attendant walked to a house with a tall compound wall and stopped.

"Here we are."

Yu Ren was a little strange. "That's not right! I've been to your house! It's not this place! ”

The attendant laughed, "You don't know yet! Our family has moved. ”

Yu Ren couldn't believe it. "Isn't it! I only went ten days ago! ”

"That's right. My family only moved here three days ago. The attendant said as he knocked on the door.

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl opened the door to them.

"Hou Gui, why did you come back. The young master and the young lady have been waiting for you since noon and have been waiting until now. The young master and the young lady have not eaten until now. Are you here? ”

The attendant hurriedly stepped behind him. "Look, isn't it?"

The girl glanced at Yu Ren, hurriedly lowered her head, and saluted Yu Ren. "Greetings to Mr. Yu."

Yu Ren was a little surprised, he remembered that just ten days ago, this Hou Jingru was just a person who could only maintain food and clothing, how could it be that in less than ten days, he not only had a male servant, but also a maidservant, and his family had also changed to such a big house. He really wondered if he was mistaken, could this really be the home of that poor boy Hou Jingru?

Yu Renzheng was puzzled. Hou Jingru had already taken his wife Liu Ruhui out of the back room.

"It's finally time for Eun Gong. I'm still a good man, so I'm not free today, so I don't have to come! Hou Jingru said while letting Yu Ren in. By the way, he also said to Hou Gui on the side, "You did a good job on this errand." As he spoke, he took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and gave it to Hou Gui.

Yu Ren followed Hou Jingru as he walked inside, looking around at his new home.

It's a very different place from the home where Hou Jingru lived ten days ago. This is a courtyard house with more than a dozen rooms, the houses are quite exquisitely built, and the yard is still empty. Compared to the two small dilapidated rooms he lived in ten days ago, it was literally heaven and underground.

"Eun Gong must think it's strange! Why haven't I seen each other for ten days, and I've changed my appearance? Hou Jingru didn't wait for Yu Ren to speak, so he took the initiative.

Yu Ren nodded, "It's a little hard to understand." ”

Hou Jingru showed a smug laugh and said, "Actually, even I myself feel like I'm in a dream." No way, who let me die! These were all given to me by others, and I didn't spend a penny. ”

Yu Ren was even more surprised. "Someone else's gift? Who is it? Why did he give you these things. ”

"I don't know much either, it's a father-in-law named Wei Zhongxian. Listen to them, he is my mother's friend. ”

Yu Ren was startled when he suddenly heard this name, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Wei, Wei Zhongxian! Why, Eun Gong also knows him? ”

Only then did Yu Ren discover his gaffe, and hurriedly laughed, "Ah! I don't know. I misheard. I have a friend whose name is very similar to his. I thought it was him! Why did he give you these things? ”

Hou Jingru heard Yu Ren ask, and said proudly, "This is starting with my mother." I mentioned my mother to you last time, but I remember it! ”

"Remember, I remember you told me that your mother was a nurse for a grandson in the palace, right? also said that she and this imperial grandson were often bullied by the concubine surnamed Zheng, right? ”

"It's different now. Do you know who this imperial grandson of my mother is in the palace? ”

Yu Ren shook his head.

"It's the emperor today." After speaking, Hou Jingru couldn't help laughing anymore. After laughing, he said to Yu Ren, "Engong, do you say that I am a flying Huang Tengda!" Now, the emperor is my brother. That old woman surnamed Zheng is a fart in front of me! Zheng Yangxing, Zheng Yangxing, this kid, I have to clean him up sooner or later. However, yesterday I went to clean up the jewellery shop on Koan Street.

I smashed their shops and cut off one of the hands of each of the men who had beaten me in the first place. It's a pity that you weren't there at the time, otherwise looking at their wailing appearance, it would be a relief! ”

Yu Ren was taken aback, he didn't expect this Hou Jing to be so ruthless. "Are you going with these two henchmen?"

"No, it was Gonggong Wei who took someone and went with me. Originally, Gonggong Wei also said that each of these people would cut off two arms! I thought that Engong was naturally compassionate and must not like it, so I only asked each of them to count with one hand. ”

When Yu Ren heard this, he sighed heavily. "It's also their own doing."

Hou Jingru chatted with Yu Ren about his proud things in the past few days, and at the same time let Yu Ren go to the main hall. Although Yu Ren still had a smile on his face, his heart felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle. He never imagined that the poor boy he had helped a few days ago would have such a big change at once.

And what he didn't expect was that this Hou Jingru had obviously been pulled into the gang by Wei Zhongxian. Since his wife is the emperor's wet nurse, then this Wei Zhongxian has a big backer with him.

Thinking of the rumors in later generations about what Gonggong Wei had done, and the indignation of heaven and man, Yu Ren's heart became heavy.

At the banquet, Hou Jingru and Liu Ruhui were very attentive, but Yu Ren ate the same taste as chewing wax.

After eating in a hurry, Yu Ren said that there was still something at home, so he got up and said goodbye. Hou Jingru and his wife sent him all the way to the mouth of the alley, and Hou Jingru repeatedly told Yu Ren that he would have more time to come to the house to sit in the future. Yu Ren was just casually perfunctory.

When it was sent to the entrance of the alley, Yu Ren stopped Hou Jingru, who was about to be sent again. "Go back! You don't have to send it anymore. It's late at night, Ruhui is weak, don't be cold. ”

"Then, I'll send it to Engong again!" Waiting for the scenery is like a road.

Yu Ren also stopped, "You don't have to send it anymore." We are not a life and death. I'm going to stay in Kyori for at least a little longer. I'll come to you more often when I have time in the future. Yu Ren said.

"Then, I'll ask the people to call you a soft sedan chair and send you back!" Waiting for the scenery is like a road. In front of Yu Ren, although he is now rich, he is still a little unconfident.

Yu Ren really ate a lot of wine tonight, and his head was a little dizzy, so he didn't refuse again. "It's fine. Then let's just wait here for a while, and you let Ruhui go back first! ”

Hou Jingru sent away his wife Ruhui, and at the mouth of the alley, only he and Yu Ren were left. Looking at the empty alley in all directions, Yu Ren thought of Wei Zhongxian again.

Finally, Yu Ren couldn't help it, and said solemnly to Hou Jingru, "Xiao Hou! Although our brothers have not been friends for a long time, they are familiar at first sight, and there is a sentence that I have been holding back in my heart for a long time. But I still think I should tell you. ”
