Chapter 45: The Dispute

Fan Mingyou returned to his mansion and went straight to the back hall, but saw his wife Huo Ke dressing up in front of this bronze mirror, and several handmaidens waiting on the side.

Fan Mingyou was surprised and said, "It's too late, you still have to dress up, but you want to go out?" ”

Huo Ke's eyebrows fluttered, and he said: "Mother sent a message to ask our sister to accompany her to Changle Palace to play, and the queen's sister misses us." ”

She chuckled a few times, reached out and picked up a gold medal spike from the jewelry box, stroked it gently, and held it up to shine in the light, not satisfied. After putting it down, he picked out an ink-colored tortoiseshell, thought it was okay, handed it to the maid, ordered him to put on a big bun, looked left and right in the mirror, and smiled up: "It's beautiful." ”

Fan Mingyou was absent-minded and said perfunctorily: "It's good-looking." ”

Huo Ke snorted: "It's also useless to ask you." He stood up, spun around lightly, and said, "This dress is beautiful." Fan Mingyou paid attention to it.

Huo Ke was wearing an ethereal silk robe, elegant and elegant, lined with a round face white and red, extremely charming.

Fan Mingyou was stunned, and praised sincerely: "Sure enough, as the children in the market sing, the daughter of the Huo family is Yan Ruyu." ”

Huo Ke said angrily: "What the children in the market are singing? You don't have anything to say yourself. Pham Minh Woo smiled.

Huo Ke instructed the maid to pick up the bronze mirror, twist her waist, and inspect the mirror up and down again, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and said, "I'll leave now." ”

Fan Mingyou followed and said flatteringly, "I'll send you there." Huo Ke turned around and shook his hand, and said, "There is a car coming to pick me up, and you don't need to send it." ”

Fan Mingyou hesitated for a moment, hurried two steps to follow, and said, "When you go to Changle Palace to play, will you disturb the emperor and the queen mother." ”

"What's not to disturb. The emperor is in Weiyang Palace, and he doesn't come here often, the Empress Dowager Shangguan——。 Huo Ke seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but chuckle.

When she saw Fan Mingyou's stunned face, she suppressed her smile and said, "We originally went to Changle Palace, and we would first go to Changxin Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Shangguan. He giggled for a while, and then said: "On the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, Shangguan is the queen mother, but in terms of the eldest and youngest, we are all her aunts, and the mother is her maternal grandmother. So she is not at ease, and we are not at ease. Giggles. ”

"Then you won't go to pay homage to the Queen Mother?"

"If you just go to play, go directly to the Jiaofang Hall of Changle Palace. Changxin Palace also pretended not to know, so as not to embarrass everyone when they met. Huo Ke didn't care about Fan Mingyou's surprised expression, and said with great interest: "Little sister's palace is much more fun than our mansion, no wonder my brother wants to expand the mansion." ”

Fan Mingyou frowned: "There are already people in the DPRK who are talking about the Huo family's arrogance and indulgence, and we should also restrain it a little, so as not to fall into the mouth." ”

Huo Ke was unhappy when he heard this, and said with a sinking face: "What is there to discuss, who can compare with our Huo family's credit." Ignoring Fan Mingyou, he walked quickly towards the door.

Fan Mingyou followed behind, helped Huo Ke into the chariot, and watched the car go away.

He stood in the doorway with his hands behind his back for a moment, looking up at the sky.

The weather was fine, the sky was clear, blue as transparent, and the wind blew on the body, neither hot nor cold. He sighed softly, and suddenly remembered the little girl from the Western Regions who was drinking wine, and his heart suddenly softened, so he slowly walked towards the East City alone.

walked into the noisy and noisy East Market, walked around, and didn't find the little girl from the Western Regions. He felt bored, and returned to Hengmen Street, and found that there were many people not far away, and there seemed to be a conflict between two carriages.

He was idle, and without much thought, he squeezed in. Squeezed inside, sure enough, two carriages were parked, and the two coachmen pointed at each other and cursed.

He recognized a Xuan car as belonging to Huo Fu. The chariot is luxuriously decorated, decorated with gold and splendid scenery, and the outer ring of the wooden wheel is also wrapped in a layer of leather. The other car was much simpler, but it could also be seen that it was the official eunuch's car, inlaid with a family crest with the word "Min".

After listening for a while, he finally understood what was going on. These two cars are walking on the road, the Min family's car is in front, the Huo family's car is behind, the Huo family coachman scolded the Min family's car to give way, the Min family coachman did not pay attention, the Huo family coachman was angry, and waved the whip to break the cover of the Min family's car, of course the Min family coachman did not follow, so he got out of the car and argued.

There were originally a lot of idlers on Chang'an Street, and when they encountered such interesting things, they were willing to miss them, and after a while, a large circle of people gathered around. One group of people cheered for the Huo Mansion, and the other group helped the Min family, and both groups of people excitedly instigated the two coachmen to fight.

The two coachmen were already fighting red-faced, and then they rolled up their sleeves and put on a dry stance. The crowd of onlookers became more excited, clapping, stomping, whistling, and the coachman became more and more enthusiastic at the noise of the surrounding spectators.

The Min family coachman was tall and emotional, stepped forward and grabbed the Huofu coachman's shirt, and punched it with his right hand. Huofu Coachman was so thin that he didn't have time to dodge, and he was hit by this punch and rolled all over the ground. The surrounding spectators applauded, and the Min coachman became more and more proud, caught up with two steps, and kicked when he raised his foot. Huofu coachman was powerless to parry, holding his head and curling up on the ground.

Fan Minh You wondered if he should come forward to stop the fight, and was about to step forward, when more than a dozen strong men squeezed in from outside the crowd. He recognized at a glance that these people were all house slaves of Huo Mansion, and the leader was a family member named Heng Si.

The coachman of the Min family also found that a group of people had rushed in, and before he could figure out what was going on, the dozen or so Huo Fu slaves had already swarmed up and knocked him to the ground in an instant. This time, it was the turn of the Min family's coachman to roll all over the ground, holding his head and screaming.

The Huofu coachman had already gotten up, wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, stepped forward and kicked the Min family coachman fiercely, and kept yelling: "You dare to beat me, don't look at who I am." ”

Pham Minh Woo shook his head again and again. Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, he felt that something would really happen if he continued to fight like this, and he should go out to stop this fight, so he pushed aside the spectators who were shouting wildly around him and squeezed into the circle.

Heng Si stepped forward and kicked the Min family coachman together with his own coachman, while shouting: "Smash his car and pull the horse away." The coachman of the Min family was holding his head and letting him kick and beat, but when he heard this, he was full of horror, and he couldn't care much, so he sat up and hugged Heng Si's legs, and begged: "Don't smash the car, can't smash the car." ”

At this time, a middle-aged man with a swashful expression squeezed in the crowd. Fan Mingyou recognized it as Prime Minister Sizhi Min Shitong, and suddenly realized that it was this Min family that was Min Shitong. He was afraid of being seen by Min Shitong, so he quietly hid behind people.

Min Shitong was originally studying at home, but a neighbor came to say that his coachman had a fight with someone, so he hurried over. When the coachman saw his master coming, he got up and said to the slave of Huofu: "This is my master's prime minister, Min Shitong, you must not be rude." ”

Heng Si looked up and down, and said in a flirtatious tone: "Min Shitong? I haven't heard of it. Do you know who the master of my house is, Da Sima Huo Mansion. ”

Min Shitong never thought that his coachman had a conflict with Huo Fu, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive, so he also wanted to make a big thing a small thing and a small thing. He pushed the coachman away, stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be someone from the Great Sima Mansion, if my coachman is offended, I will apologize here." ”

Heng Si glanced at him: "Are you Prime Minister Si Zhi?" Min Shitong arched his hand and nodded. The corners of Hengsi's mouth raised, with a hint of ridicule: "Even the prime minister doesn't dare to offend our Huo Mansion, you just want to do it." He turned his head to the Huo Fu slaves who were surrounding him and said, "How can there be such a cheap thing, right?" The group of Huofu slaves laughed together, and said, "Yes, that can be so cheap." "Dare to provoke our Huo Mansion, it's too bold."

Min Shitong turned to look at his coachman, who hurriedly distinguished: "They broke the lid of my car first, and I did it." ”

Huofu coachman crossed his hands on his waist and said menacingly: "Who let you get in the way." Don't ask me who I am, I dare to do it. The Min coachman muttered, "You beat me too." ”

"Begging for a beating." Heng Si shouted: "Fight." The Huo Fu slaves rushed up, added their fists and feet, and knocked the Min family coachman to the ground.

Min Shitong was at a loss, and stood for a while before he stepped forward and said, "Don't fight, don't fight, if you have something to say, say it well." ”

Heng Si sneered: "Okay, just say it." smashed the cart and led the horse away. ”

Min Shitong couldn't help but be stunned, and the coachman of the Min family was also anxious, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said: "You can't do this, how can the car hit my master." ”
