Taiyuan granary was served by thieves such a scandalous thing, and there was no news spread among the people, and in the first month, Shangjing was still as lively as in previous years. In the box of the Dark Fragrance Sparse Shadow Garden outside the city, Xiping Hou Hu Chao was full of energy and a group of famous nobles, chatting and laughing, pushing cups and changing lamps, and cultivating further feelings.

Since taking the line of Concubine Chen, Hu Chao's small life has not been very comfortable, and the millions of catties of wine brewed in a single year are enough for him to earn a lot of money. Moreover, Concubine Chen's mother and son have been favored for many years, and Concubine Chen's mother's family is powerful, and Hu Chao really took advantage of this to make the reputation and connections of Xiping Houfu to a higher level.

Although Concubine Chen was downtrodden later, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and King Qing is good at buying people's hearts, and King Rui also has a few powerful staff around him to help him plan.

In Hu Chao's eyes, this year's performance in the Dark Fragrance Shadow Garden is really better than in previous years. Especially this year's dance, in the past two years, the entire Shangjing City has soared in a straight line under the stimulation of the exotic Oiran Xiaoman, and the patterns have emerged in an endless stream, which has greatly enriched the entertainment life of everyone in Shangjing.

Xiaoman was occupied by Xu Zheng's loser, this is a well-known secret in the capital, so naturally there is no way to kiss Fangze. Now that so many new talents in the dance industry have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, how can it not make people feel itchy?

At this time, the performance on the stage is "Hu Xuan Dance", a sturdy Kunlun slave, holding a silver plate only one foot in size, and a Hu Xuan girl wearing a thin and soft close-fitting dance dress stands on it. Dressed in a light veil and wearing glittering ornaments, Hu Xuannu raised her sleeves to the sound of plucked instruments and drums and flutes, and danced like flying snow and fluffy grass with the change of movements.

What makes people cheer and cheer even more is that the Kunlun slave, stepping on a powerful step, with the music, the silver plate in his hand turned left and right, and cooperated with the Hu Xuannu who stood on the top, seemed to be never tireless, and turned like a wheel, making all kinds of thrilling actions, causing the audience to burst into warm applause and cheers.

Hu Chao was gradually attracted by the Hu Xuannu, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, and even Yun Xiao, the right-hand man of Xiao Bo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood beside him with a glass of wine.

As soon as Hu Xuannu finished dancing, she naturally received full applause, Hu Chao was domineering and ready to take out a thousand taels of silver tickets, and asked the slave to hold this Hu Xuannu for him, Yun Xiao spoke next to him: "This Hu Xuannu is not the most powerful!" ”

"Oh!" Hu Chao's face was surprised: "Could it be that Brother Yun has seen more exciting?" ”

"Lord Hou has a good relationship with Pingning Hou, don't you know?"

"Brother Yun, don't hang my appetite, I have some business dealings with the Marquis of Pingning at most." Since Hu Chao gave the ingenious "Crane Amber" during the Thousand Autumn Festival of the Holy Lord, and followed in the footsteps of Jintong, he started a wine-making business, and the scale was much larger than Jintong, Shangjing City tacitly acquiesced that Pingning Hou and Xiping Hou had a close relationship.

Hu Chao is eager to have a relationship with Zheng Qiyan, plus Jintong has been very polite to him in the past two years since he cheated him for five million taels of silver, and the two families can be regarded as having contacts in plain life, and the "relationship" is indeed good.

"Mrs. Pingning Hou is so lively, now she is filial piety at home, where can she endure it? She instructed her subordinates to train a lot of dancing girls, and selected the best twelve of them, collectively known as the twelve flower fairies, in the name of flowers, and prepared to be a blockbuster when the Lantern Festival Xiangruilou auction show. This Hu Xuan girl is still far from the twelve flower fairies! ”

Hu Chao patted Yunxiao: "You be quiet!" Mrs. Jin is still in filial piety, and the spread of this matter will damage her reputation. ”

Yun Xiao lowered her voice and asked, "The invitation to the auction show of Yuan Xi Xiangrui Building, Hou Ye has got it, right?" ”

"Mrs. Jin left Ben Hou with a land number of sixteen compartments."

Yun Xiao rubbed her hands excitedly, the first to third floors of Xiangrui Building are a semi-circular pattern around a large stage, the first floor is a scattered platform, the third floor is the twelve boxes of the Tianzi number, and the second floor is the twelve boxes of the ground number. The three floors from the fourth to the sixth floors are all locked-in private rooms with excellent privacy.

Xiangrui Building started from the wax moon, and the bottom three floors were all blocked, saying that they were going to be renovated to prepare for the auction show on New Year's Eve, which has successfully attracted the attention of high-level personnel in Beijing.

Hu Chaoyun said lightly: "If Brother Yun doesn't dislike it, how about going to watch it with Ben Hou at that time?" ”

"Very good!" Yun Xiao was so happy that she agreed.

Yun Xiao is the right-hand man of Xiao Bo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Xiao Bo's eldest daughter is the concubine of the King of Jin.

Since he knew that Zheng Qiyan secretly supported King Wei, Hu Chao received a new task to find a way to get close to Zheng Qiyan and the high-ranking and powerful people around Zheng Qiyan and King Jin, and try to find out Zheng Qiyan's true attitude. After all, just relying on the words of a slave is not enough to prove it.

is different from Xiao Bo's iron-faced selflessness and unsmiling, Yun Xiao is very active. In addition, when he went to Shuoshui to help investigate Shi Yaoxian's corruption of ink, he secretly sent news to King Rui, but King Rui didn't open Yunxiao's letter at all, resulting in a lost opportunity. Fortunately, King Qing's flexibility and Concubine Chen's multifaceted operations in the palace minimized the damage of this matter.

Yun Xiao's attitude is quite suspicious, Xiao Bo is impartial above the court, loyal to the Holy Lord, and never forms a gang. And Yun Xiao, who is his right-hand man, why did he release kindness to King Rui, was it his own opinion, or was it secretly instructed by Xiao Bo?

After repeated analysis, Ke Xu and others felt that Yun Xiao could make friends, and taking this opportunity, Hu Chao naturally wished that he could get closer to Yun Xiao and find out Yun Xiao's true intentions by the way.

It is said that Yun Xiao was originally a ranger wandering the rivers and lakes, but later he was imprisoned in prison for some crime and almost died, but he was fortunately rescued by Xiao Bo, and Fang cleared his name.

Xiao Bo saw that Yun Xiao was full of martial arts, and he didn't want to be dusty, so he asked him for an errand, but he didn't expect Yun Xiao to have outstanding ability, and gradually became Xiao Bo's powerful left arm and right arm.

Both of them were interested in approaching each other, and soon they chatted passionately.

Although Yun Xiao is now a fourth-grade official, her personality still has the habits of the rivers and lakes, and she is bold and atmospheric. When he was young, it can be said that he traveled all over the north and south of the Great Yi Dynasty, with a wide range of knowledge, plus he can speak well, Hu Chao has a heart to stammer, the two of them push the cup and change the lamp, and talk very happily, until the willows on the moon, they are still reluctant.

Yun Xiao invited Hu Chao magnificently: "If Master Hou doesn't dislike it, I have a ten-pound battlefield autumn soldier hidden there, how about tasting it together?" ”

"I have heard the autumn soldiers on the battlefield for a long time, and the mellow smell of the soldiers is incomparable, and Ben Hou naturally can't ask for it."
