Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 25
Early in the morning, Du Wulang opened the door and entered Xue Bai's room.

"Yang Zhao is here."

"Ok?"

Du Wulang sighed: "Thinking that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion sent him, I'm so anxious. I don't know when I can get rid of these traitors."

"Don't worry."

Xue Bai smiled, still saying the same thing.

When the two arrived at the front hall, they saw Quan Rui sitting with him from a distance, while Yang Zhao was holding a gift list and looking at it with interest.

"My brother is here." Yang Zhao immediately recruited Quan Rui, clicked on the gift list, and said, "This... I will give it to Brother Xue, cross it off the gift list, and make a new gift list for me?"

Quan Rui said: "Don't bother, Du Zhai will send another equally expensive gift to Mr. Xue Lang, and there is no need to change the gift list. How does Yang Canjun think?"

"Really?"

Quan Rui hurriedly said: "It's really a gift."

"Okay!" Yang Zhao made another gesture, laughing and said, "I need to ask the manager to help me."

"Yang Canjun, please tell me."

"Send someone to help me deliver the gift to Mrs. Guoguo's house in Xuanyangfang."

Hearing these words, Xue Bai was slightly puzzled, and after a while he figured out something, and walked in calmly.

Mrs. Guo Guo was only found out yesterday, and Yang Zhao is going to take him to a banquet today. He doesn't think it's a coincidence.

"It must be done."

Quan Rui bowed his hands and saluted, then turned and walked out.

From the angle of just entering the door, you can see him rolling his big eyes.

Xue Bai entered the living room, immediately smiled and said: "Uncle Guo is so generous, every time he gets a gift, he just gives it away."

"You don't understand." Yang Zhaozhi said triumphantly, "If you're willing to spend money to make friends with nobles, when you get better, why don't you need such money?"

"Good spirit!"

Although Xue Bai said three words in a casual and perfunctory manner, they could still make Yang Zhao happy at once.

"Haha, Brother Xue understands me. When I first arrived in Chang'an, I have no special skills, and what I rely on is courage and making friends with people."

Yang Zhao laughed for a long time before changing the subject and asking, "By the way, are you ready for the poem?"

"I have prepared a song." Xue Bai said intentionally, "but right now is the critical moment for the right minister to deal with the East Palace. If the right minister wants to use the uncle of the country, but the uncle of the country is drinking flower wine, I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"

Yang Zhao shook his hand and said, "It's not that fast, I guess Luo Jiaji's fart hasn't been tried yet."

"Oh? Can't get through the trial?"

"Longyou army man is not as soft as Liu Ji."

Xue Bai said: "At that time, one escaped. Wouldn't the right minister call the uncle to search for it?"

"How can I catch those desperadoes?" Yang Zhao said: "It's a long way off, I just wanted to say something, oh, today I'm not taking you to find Xu Hezi, but Madam Guoguo's banquet, I'm taking you there Long experience."

"Ms. Guo Guo?"

Yang Zhao laughed triumphantly, and said: "The poems you prepared can just be sent to Mrs. Guo Guo first."

He didn't care whether the poems he planned to give to the singing girl Xu Hezi were suitable for Mrs. Guo Guo, he raised his hand and smiled and said, "Let's go."

"Let's go."

Du Wulang asked: "Shall I go too?"

Impatient, Yang Zhao said, "If you want to go, you can go, it's very long-winded."

Du Wulang clearly only said a word, but he was scolded. He didn't really want to go, but he was worried about Xue Bai, so he didn't hesitate.

Xue Bai pushed him lightly, and said in a low voice, "Being friends with Mrs. Guo is good for the Du family."

"But I heard that Mrs. Guo Guo likes beautiful boys, if she goes there and doesn't come back..."

Yang Zhao laughed out loud when he heard this, looked Du Wulang up and down, and said, "Go, go, just go and have fun."

~~
After Concubine Yang was favored, she asked the sage to welcome her three sisters into Chang'an.When the sage saw them, he called them his sister-in-law and named them Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Han, and Mrs. Qin respectively.Give the house, and the amount of cosmetic money rewarded every year is calculated in the thousands.

As a result, the three wives shared their favor, went in and out of the palace, and gave power to the government and the public.

The three wives all live in Xuanyangfang, and when officials ask them to do things, they can hardly do anything, so bribes from all directions are endless day and night.

After entering the gate, you can hear children chasing from a distance, and the songs they sing are also different from other places.

"Don't be happy when you have a boy and don't be sad when you give birth to a daughter, and you can make up your door if you give birth to a daughter."

"Look, my son also knows how to boast about the three wives." Yang Zhao laughed out loud, took out a handful of copper coins and threw them over.

The children picked up the money with a burst of cheers, singing louder and louder.

"Don't be sad when you give birth to a boy, and don't be sad when you give birth to a girl..."

Entering Mrs. Guo's mansion, although there are only hanging flower gates and hand-painted corridors in the front yard, the corridors are already full of waists and high eaves, which is a luxurious scene.Going further in, there are even more trees and flowers, full of flowers.

Entering the lobby, colorful curtains hang high, magnificent, and warm. The maidservants walk back and forth in light gauze, like butterflies in flowers, and the men and women attending the banquet are all luxuriously dressed and have bright faces.

As soon as the three of Yang Zhao entered the hall, everyone turned their heads to look, they were accustomed to Xue Bai's handsome appearance, but the listless Du Wulang was very eye-catching.

"Hey, what a pair of listless little eyes."

I don't know who said something, and a beautiful woman sitting on the soft couch at the top laughed "puchi".

She covered her mouth and smiled at Xue Bai: "Hey, why did the young man bring his followers in?"

"I'm not a follower." Du Wulang muttered.

Yang Zhao laughed out loud and led them forward to say hello.

"I met Mrs. Guo Guo and brought some gifts, please have a look."

"Why should my cousin be so polite?"

Yang Yuyao, the wife of the Guo State, looks only in her twenties. She wears a ponytail, her hair is black, and her skin on her neck and chest is white. There seems to be water flowing in her pair of red phoenix eyes, and her mouth is like a cherry. To make fun of.

Taking a closer look, she turned out to be plain-faced, with no makeup applied. She was born with a smooth and tight skin.

Today she is wearing a red poncho, her breasts are half exposed, she is lying on her side, and her long white legs are looming, which perfectly outlines her undulating figure. There is a cloud in Wushan. The auspicious snow lamp on the chest is slanting, and the peach blossom wine is half drunk in the eyes."

If compared with Yang Zhao's wife, Pei Rou, Pei Rou served others with sex, showing off her appearance to please men, and looked dusty; Yang Yuyao was different, she knew that she was beautiful, and she sat lazily, as if waiting for a man to please them. It's called amorous feelings.

Xue Bai had an intuition that even facing today's saints, she would not be intimidated. She naturally has the confidence to be beautiful and charming.

Sensing Xue Bai's gaze, Yang Yuyao raised her head and exchanged a glance with him, as if surprised by his courage, her eyes showed a look of interest in him.

Yang Zhao quickly introduced, "This is Xue Bai. He fainted in the snow a few days ago and lost his memory, but now someone said that he seems to have come out from Mrs. Guo Guo?"

He actually said it directly.

Yang Yuyao was not annoyed when she heard this, instead she covered her mouth and laughed, then took a deep look at Xue Bai, and said, "Well, a while ago, I met a group of beautiful young men on the road and invited them to a banquet for a few days, my little one Could Lang Zi be one of them?"

As she spoke, she waved to Xue Bai, and asked with a smile, "Have we slept before?"

Du Wulang was shocked from ear to ear.

Xue Bai shook his head, and replied, "I really lost my memory, I can't remember it."

Yang Yuyao took a sip of her wine and said jokingly, "You'll remember it when you continue the relationship."

Yang Zhao said: "Xue Bai is a person who is valued by the right minister now, but which Qilin'er is it?"

"How can I remember this?" Yang Yuyao was displeased, and said angrily, "Inviting you to the banquet, you actually judged me. Yes, yes, all the beautiful boys lost in Chang'an City were captured by me, okay? "

Yang Zhao apologized and said with a smile: "I didn't mean that. I brought Xue Bai here today because I have a poem as a gift."

Yang Yuyao became interested as soon as she heard it, she pointed at the wine glass and said, "Okay, Concubine Cui is about to compose a poem for today's banquet."

Yang Zhao looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a handsome man holding a brush and thinking on the rice paper. He was Cui Huitong, consort of Princess Jin.

Cui Huitong was writing earnestly, ignoring the conversations around him, frowning, thinking about writing a few words, finally put down the pen, and said happily: "The poem is completed! The poem is completed!"

He was quite satisfied with his poem, picked up the rice paper and recited it aloud.

"Master laughs a few times in a month, meets each other and holds a cup."

"Seeing the spring is like running water, today's flying flowers bloomed yesterday."

After reciting a poem, everyone applauded and praised.

Yang Yuyao was quite happy to hear it, and said with a smile, "It's really a good poem. In the future, who will gossip and say that we are a vulgar banquet? There are also good poems at our banquet."

Du Wulang felt that the poem was just average, so he couldn't help muttering to himself, the women at this banquet were beautiful and the men were handsome and graceful, but they didn't seem very smart.

"My lords, my lords."

Yang Zhao could make a fuss, he clasped his fists together, and said in a loud voice, "Today I brought this Mr. Xue Lang, whose poems are full of praise even the famous Nanqu courtesans."

The son-in-law Cui Huitong was quite open-minded, he was not annoyed when he heard the words, but laughed and said: "Okay, I will invite Xue Langjun to write a poem."

Xue Bai did not refuse, and bowed to Yang Yuyao with a modest attitude, and said, "I don't know how to write poetry, but seeing this feast today, I remembered a poem in my mind, which is "Huanxisha", for Mrs. reward."

"it is good."

Yang Yuyao nodded to him, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and listened to him read the words.

"The jade bowl is cold and dripping with dew, and the powder melts into the fragrant snow to penetrate the light veil. Come at night, the makeup is better than the lotus."

"The temples are about to meet the moon at the brow, the wine is red and the face is glowing. A spring dream and the sun is setting."

When she only heard the first two sentences, Yang Yuyao was slightly taken aback and put down the wine glass in her hand.

Hearing the last sentence "Late makeup is better than lotus", her eyes became brighter, and she was very appreciative. She raised her bare hands lightly, stroked the broken hair on her sideburns, and lowered her head to glance at her snow-white skin under the light veil. The corner of his mouth curled into a satisfied smile.

After reading the second half of the Que Ci, she and Xue Bai exchanged glances, but covered their faces with their hands, as if shy.

She's not one to be shy at all.

It was just a strange feeling that she was not a shy young boy in front of her, but an ambitious big man, so she smiled shyly in cooperation with him.

"it is good!"

Yang Zhao couldn't understand the words, but seeing Yang Yuyao's expression, he knew the words were good.

"Good words, this poem describes Mrs. Guo Guo so beautifully, it even tempts me!"

The son-in-law Cui Huitong also nodded, and praised: "Live and fragrant, it is indeed a lively and fragrant little poem."

Yang Yuyao became more and more joyful, and beckoned Xue Bai to come forward, poured a glass of wine and handed it to him, and asked with a smile, "How is your drinking capacity, young man?"

Xue Bai took the wine glass and calmly replied, "I would like to accompany Madam Guo Guo until I get drunk."

"Call me sister." Yang Yuyao clinked glasses with him, drank the wine in his hand, and looked at him with a smile.

The alcohol content was not high, it was just like water to Xue Bai, he also drank it in one gulp, thinking about how to use the power of Mrs. Guo to seek peace.

However, at the next moment, he felt a little dizzy, so he shook his head, thinking that his drinking capacity should not be enough, unless... this body has a very poor drinking capacity.

Yang Zhao first saw Xue Bai holding the wine, and he knew that he could drink a lot, but he didn't expect that Xue Bai had just had a drink, and he was already in a trance.

He froze for a moment, thinking that he had drank wine with Xue Bai, no, that day at Xixiang Xiaozhu, Xue Bai actually only took a sip.

Thinking of the Right Prime Minister ordering Ji Wen to investigate Xue Bai's life experience, Yang Zhao has already made up his mind.

"Come on, have another drink."

After being persuaded by Yang Zhao for a few more drinks, Xue Bai's face turned red, obviously quite drunk.

He was quite calm at first, but now he let go a lot, and he didn't hold back at all, instead he would not refuse anyone who came.

"I also have a drink with Mr. Xue Lang, what a good word."

"Haha, I have another poem to send to Mrs. Guo Guo today, but the time is not suitable." Xue Bai blushed, waved his hands, and said, "The time is not suitable."

"Oh?" Yang Yuyao was very interested, she stepped forward to support Xue Bai, and asked, "He Shi?"

Xue Bai shook his head, thought for a while before starting to chant.

"The weather is new on March [-]rd, and there are many beautiful people by the water in Chang'an."

"The state is strong and elegant, and the texture is delicate and fleshy."

Yang Yuyao's eyes lit up when she heard it, she just felt that she liked this poem too.

Xue Bai was really drunk, and he couldn't stand still. He was half leaning against her arms, but she didn't get annoyed. Instead, he helped him stagger a few steps, and they sat down on the soft couch together.

Seeing that it was almost time, Yang Zhao stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"

"Xue Bai!" Xue Bai suddenly raised his hand to touch his forehead, and responded loudly: "I was admitted to the county inspection in one or two years, and I have seven years of grassroots work experience. I will definitely shine in political and legal positions..."

Yang Zhao was taken aback, and when he asked carefully, what he heard was still a series of incomprehensible words.

"Pfft."

Seeing this, Yang Yuyao couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

She had always known her cousin's temperament, and knew that Yang Zhao wanted to inquire, but she was prejudiced against Xue Bai's drunken and serious appearance to scare Yang Zhao, and she laughed more and more tremblingly.

"Okay, okay, everyone has already said who it is, and you still have to ask."

Yang Yuyao waved her hand, drove Yang Zhao away, embraced Xue Bai, and gently stroking his chin, her eyes were full of affection.

~~
Xue Bai seemed to be having a dream.

Changing the court in the dream and getting rid of Li Linfu made people feel a lot easier.

But when he opened his eyes, what he saw was still the beams in the wing room of Du's house, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"woke up?"

Someone opened the door and came in.

Du Jin walked to the side of the couch with her hands behind her back, raised her head to look at him, and asked with a meaningful smile, "Did you think you would be in Mrs. Guo's residence?"

"Yeah." Xue Bai rubbed his head, but he didn't shy away from it, and said frankly: "If you can climb up to Mrs. Guo, of course it would be great."

Du Jin gave two "tsk tsk", shook her head, and said leisurely: "That's right, she is the one who can decide the life and death of the Du family with one word. Unlike me, a resentful woman who was divorced by the prince."

The tone was a little envious and a little sour.

She's a little bit of a loser.

Xue Bai responded casually: "Don't worry, the prince will regret it."

"Wu Lang said, it seems that Mrs. Guo Guo wanted to stay with you last night, but it seems that the imperial concubine came, so she had to temporarily invite all the guests away."

"Concubine?"

Du Jin sneered slightly, and said, "It can be seen that it is not easy to be the head of the meeting."

Xue Bai stood up and said slowly: "After all, even Yang Zhao has to work for Li Linfu, let alone me?"

"We still have to get rid of Li Linfu sooner or later."

Xue Bai lowered his tone and said, "As for my identity, Princess Xianyi's Mansion pointed the wrong way. Now that Yang Zhao and Ji Wen have been confused, we have to investigate quickly."

"you sure?"

"Ah."

Du Jin asked, "Why didn't you dare let Yang Zhao and Ji Wen find out first?"

Xue Bai said: "What if I have a grudge against Li Linfu?"

Du Jin smiled at first, then her face gradually became serious.

She knew that with Li Linfu's enemies, it was indeed possible...
