Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Mansion of the Marquis of Yiyang

Now Luoyang wants to say that the most magnificent mansion is Zhang Rang's Mansion, even if it is three points taller than the palace hall, the pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and paintings are extraordinary.

With the sun rising, Zhang Rang's mansion was a room the size of a palace, and there was a burst of laughter at this moment.

In the middle of the room, a three-foot-tall bath rises from the ground, and the bath is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people. At present, the huge bath is covered with a thin veil, and the mist brought by the hot water adds to the mystery.

By the light of the oil lamp in the room, you can see these clothes scattered on the green and bluestone floor tiles of the bathhouse, and it is from here that the laughter just came from. Through the tulle, two figures were intertwined in the bath, intertwined and moving with each other, fiercely fierce.

However, what is disgraceful is that they are not yin and yang, and the figure shows that the two are obviously men, even if one of them is young and a boy and a girl, but he can't hide his gender at all.

Yes, one of the people in the bath at this moment is the great eunuch Zhang Rang, and he is not playing with a woman, but a special lover he has tamed, a 'male pet'.

Speaking of male pets, history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when there was a style of advocating beautiful men, Mozi in "Shangxian", Xunzi in "Non-Xiang" have mentioned, but this style was a special habit of princes and nobles before the Han Dynasty.

For Zhang Rang, a non-man, he is powerless in the face of women, except for loving money, his only sexual interest is to domesticate good-looking children in order to have fun.

It is worth mentioning that, according to court rumors, the reason why Zhang Rang was able to stand out among many eunuchs was because he was handsome and broke his sleeves with the first emperor to get to where he is today.

Zhang Rang was playing with his favorite male pet to his heart's content, when an inopportune voice sounded from outside the door, interrupting his interest.

"Master Qiqi, I just got the news that Jiang Boxiao, the general of Zhenbei, has returned to Beijing."

In the bath, the male pet suddenly stopped when he saw Zhang Rang, who was playing happily just now, and quickly fell charmingly on his not wide chest, and said coquettishly: "What's wrong with the master, isn't the slave serving bad??" ”

Zhang Rang didn't pay attention to the male pet in his arms, leaned on the bath and slowly kicked his anger, and after a while, he asked in a weird way: "When is it?"

"The person who came to report said that Jiang Boxiao had just entered through the upper west gate, and he should have returned home after calculating the time."

Zhang Rang smiled and said coldly: "I know, tell the people in Beisi Prison to detain him first, and I don't need to say how to do it." ”

These days, the impeachment of Jiang Qi by the DPRK is not three feet but two feet thick, but because Jiang Qi, the main master, has not returned, he can't find a place to start for a while, and now it's time to act.

Originally, Zhang Rang wanted to arrest Zhang Fei, who smashed Cai Yong's mansion, and cut off his arm on a charge, but now he doesn't need it, and he can also use one thing to convict Jiang Qi of conniving at his subordinates and supporting his own soldiers.

Of course, it is not without a target, who is called Zhang Fei is a general in his army, and he can't come out of the army after beating someone, and now as long as Jiang Qi is arrested and sent to Beisi Prison, he can't tell a hundred mouths.

Since Guangwu, as long as there are people there, how can anyone come out completely, as long as Jiang Qi is caught, it will be his grace if he does not die in it today.

"Do it immediately." The person who came respectfully saluted and departed.

When there were two people left in the room again, the male pet fell into Zhang Rang's arms and continued to say coquettishly: "Master." I heard that this Jiang Boxiao is very good-looking, isn't it a pity to kill him. ”

"What's the matter, the little beauty still wants to intercede for Jiang Boxiao?" Zhang Rang asked with some curiosity as he held the beautiful man teasingly.

After his heart, Zhang Rang remembered that when he saw Jiang Qi wearing armor for the first time in the palace that day, his heart moved, just Jiang Qi's appearance was really not comparable to the charming male pet in his arms at the moment.

"How can there be a 、、、、 slave family, isn't this for the sake of the master." The male pet continued to say softly.

"Well, don't say it, I don't think I think it's said that the Sprinkle family wants to play with this high-minded and invincible Yi Yanghou." Zhang Rang said without hesitation, and after speaking, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and then he pounced on the male pet in his arms to start a new round of battle.

Just as Zhang Rang's words fell, Jiang Qi, who had just stepped out of the carriage at this moment, was admiring the three big characters of 'Yiyang Hou' written on the plaque at the mansion gate, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill behind his back and shivered.

Jiang Lin'er also felt the inexplicable tremor of the brother beside her, and hurriedly asked with concern: "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with my brother?" ”

Jiang Qi looked around, but he didn't find any danger except for the soldiers guarding at the moment, so he shook his head, and said to himself with the help of the two stone carvings in front of the mansion: "It's okay, these two evil spirits are quite powerful, let's go, mother is still waiting for us." ”

As Jiang Qi pointed and looked, Jiang Lin'er immediately gushed and introduced: "These two evil spirits are specially built by my mother to find a master in Beijing, and my mother said that my brother is too murderous and uses two rui beasts to block it. Mother said that the metaphor of warding off evil spirits is a brave man, what does my brother think? ”

"Yes, there is indeed such a saying in the historical record "Five Emperors Benji", in ancient times, Emperor Xuanyuan taught Xiong Zhen, warding off evil spirits and fighting with my Jiang ancestor Emperor Yan and the wilderness of Hanquan, this evil spirit can not only swallow the qi of the Quartet and be unremitting, but also can drive away the evil qi, it is indeed a town house Rui beast." Jiang Qi nodded in agreement with his sister's explanation of warding off evil spirits.

Although Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions to bring the lion to the Han Dynasty during the Han Dynasty, there are not many stone carvings in front of the door with stone lions today, and most of the real houses in the market are still evil spirits, end beasts and other beasts.

Looking at the children who came over with a smile, Jiang's mother asked lovingly, "What are your two brothers and sisters talking about, so lively?" ”

"There's nothing to talk to my little sister about the evil spirits at this door, by the way, now my mother and my little sister live in this house?" Jiang Qi explained with a smile, and after speaking, he looked at the magnificent mansion and asked.

Although this is the mansion given to him by the emperor, Jiang Qi has never been there, and his housekeeper Jiang Da used to take care of it.

"I moved here after a year, and at that time, your grandmother complained for a while, saying that she had built a family yard in Wubao and came to the city to do something, and she had to go back to Wubao for three or five days, otherwise your grandmother would have to nag again. Tomorrow Ananda you should go back too, or your grandmother will complain about you again. ”

After speaking, Jiang's mother also looked at the huge mansion with some emotion, if someone told her a year ago that her son would become a general of Zhenbei and a marquis with heavy troops, then she would definitely think that the other party was crazy.

If you want to think about how old her Jiang Qi is, she hasn't done the crown ceremony yet, and it's too early to even show filial piety. But that's the case, Jiang Fang really felt that happiness came too suddenly.

As the mother and son prepared to return to the house together, Jiang Lin'er couldn't help but introduce the arrangement of the room in the house: "Li'er and her mother both live in the backyard, and there is a wall between them and her brother's courtyard. ”

"I'm going to take a look, but seriously, my little sister must accompany my brother later! Otherwise, it would be a shame to get lost again. Jiang Qi said with a hearty smile.

"I almost forgot, Ananda, you haven't been back to your house yet." Jiang's mother also remembered the fact that her son said that if no one led him into the courtyard full of corridors and water pavilions, it would be easy to get lost.

"Then please wait a moment for my mother and little sister, and the child will enter together after two orders." Jiang Qi nodded and said with a smile.

"My son is 、、、、、 when he goes," Jiang's mother nodded in agreement and didn't ask much, pulling her daughter to walk up the steps towards the door of the mansion surrounded by maidservants.

Jiang Qi watched his mother walk away, turned around and walked to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two brothers who were waiting more than ten steps away: "Second brother is right, I forgot to ask just now, can my sister-in-law and nephew go to Luoyang?" ”

Hearing Jiang Qi's inquiry, Guan Yu rarely showed joy, and said with a smile: "It's here, I bought a small house at the north gate half a month ago and became neighbors with the fifth brother's family, your sister-in-law is not boring with the Zihu brothers and wives, but the two boys are too noisy." No, yesterday I beat the fat boy of a merchant next to me, and when I came today, I was punishing the two of them for thinking about it. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei also recalled that he returned home with his second brother last night, and saw the two little guys who were covered in injuries but did not say a word, and then said appreciatively: "Don't say it, Ping'er and Xing'er have a little bit of courage for the second brother. With more training, he will inevitably become a battlefield general like the second brother in the future. ”

"Really? How old are the two nephews now? Hearing this, Jiang Qi also asked with some curiosity.

"The eldest is eight years old, the second is six years old, I think these years have made the two children suffer, when Yu fled, the child Guan Xing was still in infancy, and when he went home that day, he was almost beaten out by these two boys as a villain who came to collect debts, which made me feel very guilty as a father." Guan Yu said with a sigh.

In the words, Guan Yu was also very grateful to his fourth brother, who was a few years younger, if it weren't for this brother, their father and son would really be far away.

Jiang Qi thought for a moment and replied: "The second brother brought his sister-in-law and nephew over at night, this child can't stay at home all the time, so that the nephew can read and write in my clan in the future, and he can also practice martial arts with my apprentice in his spare time. ”

"Brother's words are right, there is definitely no harm in reading more books, and it will save these two boys from causing trouble everywhere in the future." Guan Yu naturally would not object to Jiang Qi's suggestion, he originally planned to find a private school for the two boys these days, but now it would be better to go to the Jiang family's own private school.

"Then it's decided, tomorrow Qi will tell the housekeeper to handle this matter, it's still early, why don't you go back to the house and talk to the two nephews about this matter first?"

"That's right, the two boys are used to it, and they don't know how it will happen if they don't talk about it in advance." Guan Yu was also not polite, at this moment he also wanted to discuss the matter with his wife again, said hello, turned over and got on the horse and simply said goodbye and left.

Seeing Guan Yu leaving, Jiang Qi then asked Zhang Fei, who wanted to slip away, "Is there anything wrong with Yide?" ”

"Does my brother have something to order?" Zhang Fei smiled and asked, he knew too well about his brother, and this was an errand for him again.

Jiang Qi patted Zhang Fei, who had a somewhat bitter face, pointed to the dusty group of soldiers and said: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, I'm working hard with the guards these days, you take it back to the camp and let the Huotou Battalion make some good things to reward, and then take three days off." Finally, inform everyone to go to the banquet together. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Zhang Fei saw that there was nothing else to do with bringing the troops back to the camp to change defenses, so he immediately agreed. It's too early for dusk, and even if he stays, there is nothing to do, so it's better to take a run.
