Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 107 A conspiracy in a mansion
"Is this porcelain?" Cao Xiang grabbed a small teacup that looked like white jade and played with it carefully, his eyes filled with astonishment: "It feels like a jade cup..."

"This is a basket that Li Hou made by himself. The rest of the people made the baskets according to the firing method he said, but the ones they made were very crude." When Li Dadao said this, he had a strong look of admiration for someone in his eyes. It's unstoppable.

Cao Xiang noticed that the other porcelain seemed to be of poor quality, but compared to rough pottery, it was already much better.

"Li Hou said that these are only experimental products. After the entire firing process is completely stabilized, patterns and colors will be painted on the surface of these porcelains to truly achieve lifelikeness."

Cao Xiang put down the small teacup that was as smooth as jade, and an embarrassed smile flashed across her face: "There are treasures everywhere in the Hou's mansion, but why do you feel that after I came in, I only knew how to eat?"

"The Marquis of Pingyang is joking. There is so much food in the Marquis of Anyang's mansion. If you don't eat to your satisfaction, who will pay attention to these things?" A woman's voice suddenly came.

Cao Xiang frowned. He was very familiar with the owner of this voice, and he could even say he was disgusted with it.

"Is this a place where you can come?" Cao Xiang turned around and looked at Han Yan, who had appeared not far away, with displeasure.

Han Yan chuckled: "Anyang Marquis did not order Xiaguan to be turned away, and he also allowed Xiaguan to move around freely. I regret that I bumped into Marquis Cao and disturbed your enjoyment. It is Xiaguan's responsibility. crime."

"The porcelain stacked here are all as white as jade. You'd better not touch them with your dirty hands!"

Cao Xiang's words were very unkind, but Han Yan only dared to smile with her, and even respectfully sent Cao Xiang off.

In the entire Han Empire, there were not many people that Han Yan could not afford to offend, but Cao Xiang was definitely the one who could not be offended the most.

After leaving the backyard, Cao Xiang suddenly lost much appetite: "How did this bastard Han Yan get in? Where's Brother Huan? It's not easy for him to throw people out. I'll go there myself. Even if I throw him into the pit, no one will do it. say what."

"Let the noble man send you away." Huo Qubing stretched his body leisurely, "I heard from Dachangqiu that after Zhuo Wenjun and Li Gan were merged into Shu, there were some other problems in the newspapers... As for Han Yan, they also Why do you have to be at odds with Han Yan if I don’t take advantage of you?”

Cao Xiang snorted: "I even thought that someone would intercede for him, but I never thought that it would be you who would intercede for him?"

"Last time, Li Shaojun was treated here by Li Hou and I and became a cripple. After he returned, he went to complain to His Majesty. Han Yan said a lot of good things to me for Brother Huan. Do you see when I was like that? A person who doesn't distinguish between good and bad?" After Huo Qubing finished speaking, he couldn't help but sneered: "Okay, seeing you like this, you have to say that you don't know, and you just find Han Yan disgusting."

Cao Xiang instantly regained her appetite and stared at the shiny and fragrant grilled lamb chops.

However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Huo Qubing hit the back of his hand hard with his chopsticks, which hurt him as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake.

"Oh! What are you doing!"

"If you want to die, keep eating." Huo Qubing laughed nonchalantly, grabbed a large piece of lamb chop dripping with oil, and deliberately sipped it into his mouth.

The fat separated from his lips, and the hissing sound of the mutton chop bones and flesh separated made Cao Xiang's throat slide, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Huo Qubing seemed to still feel that it was not enough. He deliberately took the roasted lamb ribs into his mouth and took a few mouthfuls. Then he raised his hand and threw it to Wangcai who was lying on the ground waiting for the bones.

"Ah! I can't stand it anymore, you, you, you!" Cao Xiang stood up and pointed at the four guards behind him: "Come with me for a walk!"

Huo Qubing was very leisurely: "Watch out, if Cao Hou eats anything again at this time, I will break the legs of all four of you!"

Seeing that Huo Qubing had seen through Cao Xiang's thoughts, the four guards looked at Cao Xiang with some fear.

Cao Xiang swallowed hard again, shook his sleeves, and walked away with a depressed look.

"Hahaha! Enjoy it!" Huo Qubing grabbed a piece of mutton chop again and was about to put it into his mouth when a maid suddenly walked over quickly: "Alang, the old lady invites you to come over. She said she has something important to talk to you about. Discuss." "Mom, have you eaten?" Huo Qubing walked in with a smile and saw a man wearing armor standing in the courtyard.

When Huo Qubing frowned, Wei Shaoer's voice came from inside the room: "I've eaten for my mother, Qubing, you come in first."

Huo Qubing strode in and saw Wei Shao'er sitting under the window with a sad look on his face.

"Mom? What's wrong?" Huo Qubing frowned, as if he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

"You have to write a letter and ask His Majesty to grant you a mansion next to the Anyang Marquis Mansion." Wei Shao'er turned his head and looked at his son seriously.

Huo Qubing's scalp was numb: "Mom? What are you talking about..."

"My son, isn't this possible?"

Huo Qubing puffed up his chest and said, "Who chased my mother away?"

"Chen doesn't want to see my mother living here all the time. You saw the people in the yard outside when you came in." Wei Shaoer's eyebrows seemed to have turned into dead silkworms.

"Who came up with such a bad idea?" Huo Qubing sat down, "Mother asked my aunt, it's fine if you don't, why do you have to alarm His Majesty?"

"Doctor Han's idea." When Wei Shao'er said this, his expression was a little nervous, even unnatural.

"Han Yan's idea?" Huo Qubing was very dissatisfied: "Since it is His Majesty's intention, why not give it directly?"

"Go sick, the court has great momentum. Your Majesty can't be too partial. Naturally, your aunt's thoughts should also be taken into consideration when taking care of Mrs. Chen?"

"Okay..." Huo Qubing waved his hand: "Mom, do you have anything else to do? If not, you and I will go out to eat grilled lamb chops. Huan... my uncle's cooking is very good, and it is not something that ordinary chefs can match. of."

"Mom, if you can't go out, let someone bring some in, so that you can satisfy the cravings of the little girls around you. They were already drooling from the wind just now!" Wei Shao'er's mood suddenly improved.

Huo Qubing smiled and nodded, stood up and walked out quickly.

The armored man standing in the courtyard saw Huo Qubing striding out, and for some reason, he suddenly smiled and watched Huo Qubing leave.

"Madam, has the engagement been settled?"

The man in armor walked into the door and saluted Wei Shaoer respectfully.

"Go to the sick boy and I will tell Your Majesty to ask for a mansion. I don't need to worry about other things. You all should know what to do, right?"

"Don't worry, madam. The fact that our eldest daughter is able to have a good relationship with General Huo is because of our high expectations."

After hearing these words, Wei Shaoer relaxed his brows and smiled: "I'm serious, we are all a family in the future, so we don't want to talk about who is superior to another, but I am a stubborn person, and I am worried about your eldest daughter after marriage. , there will be a lot of neglect.”

"If she cannot serve her husband well, it will be my eldest daughter's responsibility. How dare I blame General Huo?"

Although this man was a martial artist, he had a good mouth, which made Wei Shao'er extremely satisfied.
