Yu Ren hurriedly stopped, "Don't, don't. Not for this. Not really. You must not gouge out his eyes. I'm the last person I like to see these bloody scenes. If that's the case, I'm not going with you. ”

When Steward Fang heard this, he was overjoyed, "That means you agreed to go with me?" ”

Without waiting for Yu Ren to answer, Steward Fang had already shouted to the junior brothers beside him, "Someone! Bring the sedan chair over. ”

A few house slaves had already come over carrying a small sedan chair. This small sedan chair was originally prepared by these house slaves to invite the jugglers, but now they have to invite the two of them to walk.

Yu Ren was half-pushed and half-pulled into the sedan chair by this group of people, and the three women who followed him to protect him didn't know whether to stop it. Yu Ren sat in the sedan chair and said to Princess Mochizuki and the three, "I'm going to meet an old friend, you guys go back first!" I'll be back soon, don't worry about me. ”

"Do you want us to come with you?" Princess Mochizuki asked urgently.

"No need, it's just an ordinary friend, and I should be back soon. You can wait for me at home. Before Yu Ren finished speaking, the house slaves had already lifted the sedan chair and left, as if they were afraid that Yu Ren would run away.

When Yu Ren came to Hou Mansion, he found that Hou Jingru's mansion had been replaced again. Today, the palace is close to the city, just a few hundred steps from the palace. The surrounding mansions are all princes and nobles, and there is no ordinary family to see at all. And this Houfu is the most eye-catching among the palaces of these princes.

As soon as the house slaves put down Yu Ren's sedan chair, they saw that Hou Jingru had hurriedly greeted him from the gate. The steward had already sent someone to report to Hou Jingru in advance.

When Hou Jingru heard that Yu Ren was coming, he happily hurried out of the mansion and forgot about what his mother was going to do in a while.

When Yu Ren saw Hou Jingru, he was completely different from the young man who was bullied on Chang'an Street at the beginning. At the beginning, Hou Jingru looked malnourished, with a yellow face, a thin body, and a small stature. At this time, he had already made a fortune, his body had obviously gained a lot of weight, his figure had grown a little taller, and his face was full of oil.

The woman behind him was more than a class. However, although they were all as beautiful as flowers, and dressed up in flowers, none of them dared to surpass the ordinary-looking young woman who walked in front.

This young woman is Hou Jingru's wife Liu Ruhui.

As soon as Hou Jingru saw Yu Ren get off the sedan chair, he hurriedly greeted him and gave him a big hug first. "Big brother, where have you been in the past two years, why haven't I been able to find out about you. I miss my little brother! ”

As soon as Yu Ren got off the sedan chair, he noticed that there were people in several princely mansions around him, quietly looking over here. This is not surprising, today's Hou Gongzi is no longer the nobody who starved in the alleys and no one cared about him.

At this time, Hou Jingru was already in an important position in Jinyi Wei Qianhu, although he did not seriously become an official. But no one dared to despise this Jinyi Wei Qianhu who often slacked off work and didn't report to duty, because behind him was the emperor's nurse Keshi and Wei Zhongxian, the commander of Dongchang.

Therefore, when they heard that Hou Jingru actually opened the middle door to greet this guest, one or two heads poked out of almost all the mansions on this street to see who this person who was ceremoniously received by Hou Jingru was.

Yu Ren greeted Hou Jingru and gently patted him on the shoulder twice, while also smiling lightly at Liu Ruhui who was standing behind him.

After Hou Jingru and Yu Ren separated, Liu Ruhui also came forward to greet Yu Ren. Yu Ren hurriedly helped her up. At this time, the dozen or so little daughters-in-law standing behind Liu Ruhui also saluted Yu Ren together.

Yu Ren glanced at Hou Jingru unexpectedly, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Why do you learn from them and marry so many wives?" ”

Waiting for the scenery is like shaking its head. "I can't help it! Every time my mother came back from the palace, she would give me two beautiful women, and she insisted that I take them as concubines. I don't want it! But my mother disagreed. ”

Hou Jingru said, grimacing his face and shaking his head. It doesn't look like it's very painful.

The two entered the courtyard while talking.

"It turned out that your mother forcibly sent you. That's fine. I thought that after not seeing you for more than a year, you changed your sex, and forgot about the wife with whom I had shared weal and woe! If that's the case, then I won't be in your house today. ”

"How so? I know that I'm not like you, big brother. Big brother, you have the ability and talent. I am waiting for Jingru to be a splasher, no matter how high the official is, no matter how much money I make, I am still a splash. Although those people were polite to me on the surface, in their bones, none of them looked up to me.

But I believe there is one thing that I am better than all of them. That's the end of the wife.

Although my wife gave me more than a dozen beauties, I have never touched them. Really, you can ask them if you don't believe me. "Waiting for the scenery is like a way.

Yu Ren patted Hou Jingru gently, "Okay, as a man, you should be like this." At this point, you are better than my brother. ”

The two chatted all the way into the hall. Waiting for the scene was like ordering someone to set up a table of wine. Now he is no longer the mentality he had when he first became rich. Therefore, waiting for the scene was ordered to set up only one table of wine in the hall. Except for him and Yu Ren, only Liu Ruhui was the only one to accompany him. Behind him was the beautiful woman of that class waiting with a golden basin and a towel.

The two chatted about family life, and Hou Jingru asked Yu Ren about the recent situation in the past two years. I heard Yu Ren talk about his rebellion in Shandong. Waiting for the scenery is like the blood boiling just listening. It seems that he can't return to Shandong with Yu Ren immediately and fight another big war.

When Yu Ren finished talking about him, Hou Jingru gradually calmed down. He reached out and put a small piece of bear's paw in his mouth as a contemplative gesture.

"In this way, Lord Zhao Nanxing Zhao should be regarded as your father-in-law. Why do I see that he took the initiative to embarrass you in the court today, and strongly opposed the proposal of King Lu to let you be the commander-in-chief of Shandong. He also said that King Lu was because you were his son-in-law, so he attributed all the credit of others to you alone.

In the end, this proposal was not approved by the emperor. ”

Yu Ren sighed softly, he didn't expect Zhao Nanxing to embarrass himself in this matter. But it doesn't matter. He had little interest in being an official in the Ming Dynasty. He still prefers to run his piracy business, but because of the close relationship between the two, he has to visit the court from time to time. Otherwise, even if you just give him a higher official position, they will not be interested. In his bones, he still prefers the kind of free life of being a pirate.

Hearing that Hou Jingru seemed to feel sorry for himself, Yu Ren comforted him instead. Then he told him again that Zhao Rui used this bitter trick in order to ask for his father's forgiveness.

Hou Jingru then understood.

"Do you want me to talk to my mother and let her fight more in front of the emperor. My mother's words, the emperor has always listened very well, if she is willing to speak, maybe the emperor may really change his mind. "Waiting for the scenery is like a way.

Yu Ren shook his head slightly. "No need. I had no intention of being an official. It's just that King Lu has to write me such a letter of merit, and I can't help it. Now the emperor has not approved it, isn't it just right. ”

The two chatted for most of the day, and seeing that it was almost dusk, Yu Ren was about to say goodbye and go back, but Hou Jingru didn't let him go.

"Big brother, stay a little longer! My mother had someone bring me a message yesterday, saying that she was going to come home tonight to have a look. Big brother why don't stay for two more hours, just to get to know my mother. ”

When Yu Ren heard that the Hakka family was going home at night, his heart was also moved. Thinking about the fact that he is going to invite Xiong Tingbi to make a comeback this time, since he has not yet repaired his relationship with Zhao Nanxing, this matter is likely to be opposed by the Donglin Party. And if he pulls the Hakka to his side, there is much more hope for this matter.

So Yu Ren stayed.

Hou Jingru sat in the living room with Yu Ren and talked, while waiting for her mother's arrival. When it was time to hold the lamp, a domestic servant hurriedly came in and reported, "Young master, Madame has already left the palace gate." ”
