Chapter Eighteen

Han Jian was a newcomer and had never heard of "Madam Luo". I think he should have married a woman from the Luo family. Her husband died and she came out to be the leader. Because the empress is now in the court, the status of a woman has also improved, but the current situation of men being superior to women remains unchanged.

"How can I meet your boss and talk about this?" Han Jian asked again.

Manager Song forced a smile and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to ask our boss for instructions. Our boss... is very busy."

"Then let's talk about it another day." Han Jian knew at a glance that this shopkeeper Song had no position under Mrs. Luo's hands, and it would be useless to say it.

After Han Jian and Sima Jie and Ruan Ping left the bookstore, they arrived on the street. Han Jian ordered his guards to check what "Madam Luo" came from.

Although Han Jian had just become an adult and had not yet begun to be the leader, he could still mobilize the people of the Dongwang Mansion. The Dongwang Mansion has more or less arranged some intelligence spies in the capital, and it is naturally no problem to investigate the origin of Mrs. Luo.

The three of them went to the money shop to exchange the silver. On the way back to Qingxu Yashe, Han Jian instructed: "Don't talk about Qingyuefang and Xiliu Girl to Mr. Yang when he goes back. In the afternoon, we will visit Luoyang City as usual. At night, we will go to Qingyuefang by ourselves. Remember."

"I understand." Sima Zhi was very familiar with the worldly affairs and nodded.

Ruan Ping, who was on the other side, was puzzled and said, "Why is this? Isn't it better to bring Mr. Yang with me?"

"If he is really a person from the palace, we will take him to the ** Chu Pavilion and make him come back with a slut. How will the end then?" Han Jian said, "Besides, the people in the palace have to go back to the palace gate before nightfall. This is the rule. Don't let it go."

Ruan Ping nodded, but Han Jian thought that Ruan Ping might not even know what ** Chu Guan is doing, and he thought he was really just going to "see".

When he returned to Qingxu Yashe, Mr. Yang was still waiting in the seat upstairs by the window. After lunch time, there were no guests in Qingxu Yashe. When Mr. Yang saw the three of them coming back, he smiled and stood up to meet the stairs.

"Has the private affairs of the three have been handled?" As soon as they met, Mr. Yang asked with concern.

"It's almost done." Han Jian said perfunctorily and asked, "Where is Mr. Yang going to go for a trip this time?"

Mr. Yang thought for a while and said, "I heard that a singer from Xidu came from Qingyuefang, Luoyang, named Miss Xiliu. I want to go and have a look."

Han Jian and Sima Yi looked at each other and said just now that they should not mention the matter of Qingyuefang and Miss Xiliu to Mr. Yang. Unexpectedly, he would know first, and it seemed that he would go to "see" himself.

"Is this... what sister Ling means?" Han Jian asked tentatively.

Mr. Yang shook his head and said, "How could my sister know such trivial things? I heard the legends from outside."

Han Jianxin said that this matter was not simple, and said again: "Young Master Yang, do you not know where Qingyuefang is? Should we avoid such a place? It is better to go less?"

"Can't you go to Qingyuefang?" Mr. Yang was surprised. "I've been there a few days ago, and the tea there is a strong smell."

"But it is said that today, Tsing Yuefang only invited some specific people, and they must have invitations to enter." Han Jian said again with great thought.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Yang took out a red invitation from his arms and said, "I happen to have one here. Today I want to invite three of you in Qingyuefang, so please don't refuse."

Han Jian said helplessly: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Yang for your kind hospitality."

Han Jian was really helpless. After knowing that Mr. Yang came out of the palace, Han Jian thought of keeping a distance between Mr. Yang and not close, and social occasions with him could only be limited to some "elegant" places. However, Mr. Yang insisted on asking them to go to Qingyuefang, and Han Jian was not inconvenient to refuse.

After leaving Qingxu Yashe, Young Master Yang was happily hiring a carriage and preparing to visit Luoyang City again in the afternoon. Ruan Ping looked at Han Jian in confusion and asked, "Didn't he say he wouldn't go to Qingyuefang with him?"

Han Jian rolled his eyes and said nothing. Sima Jie, who was on the other hand, said angrily: "Are we going now? Mr. Yang is so arrogant that he insisted on asking us to go there. He drove the donkey on the shelves, so nothing happened."

Han Jian muttered, "Nothing will happen. If something happens, it is his own question and it has nothing to do with us."

While waiting for Mr. Yang to hire a carriage to come, a guard from the Dongwang Mansion also came to report to Han Jian on the results of the investigation of "Mrs. Luo". Han Jian did not expect that the intelligence personnel of the Dongwang Mansion were so efficient. After hearing this, he realized that Mrs. Luo was considered a celebrity in Luoyang City, so many of them were not required to investigate too much.

"...Madam Luo is a woman raised by Luo Jiaqiu, the former Minister of the Eastern Pavilion. After Luo Jiaqiu died, this woman put the Luo family's industries together, opened several businesses, and gradually expanded their business. Mrs. Luo lives in seclusion on weekdays, but it is said that she is very close to Hu Deming, the young master. Some people say that Mrs. Luo is now Hu Deming's mistress... Oh, thank you, the mistress means **."

When Han Jian heard the name of Hu Deming, the Tingwei Shaofu, he couldn't help but frown. He had seen this old man yesterday, and he could be said to be a person who was not afraid of heaven or earth. In the past, the Tingwei Shaofu has the same official position as the "Luoyang Public Security Bureau Director and Deputy Minister of the Public Security Department of the Wei Dynasty" and has power. A woman who has no husband wants to develop in the business world, so it is normal for her to be with the Tingwei Shaofu.

Han Jian thought, Hu Deming is old and ugly, and he is so popular? Mrs. Luo is not a good bird either.

Han Jian is not able to make a final conclusion about who Mrs. Luo is, but he knows that he will definitely not be able to cooperate with such a woman who relies on power to do business.

"Okay, don't tell the princess about this. Let me ask my brothers to drink afterwards." Han Jian said.

"Young Master, you are so polite." The guard said, and returned to the guard team. Han Jian is familiar with these big and thick guards on weekdays and has a good relationship.

Sima Yi saw Han Jian as if he was thinking, and asked, "Young Master, are you asking someone to ask about Mrs. Luo? Do you want to continue to work with the people from Mo Shuxing to publish books?"

"It shouldn't be." Han Jian said, "The background of Mo Shuxing is so complicated that it is not suitable to be a business partner. When you think about the bookstore, think about how to deal with Mr. Yang first."

Han Jian said, and Mr. Yang also hired the carriage.

"Have you heard about what happened in Cuiyang Tower yesterday?" Mr. Yang asked as soon as he came over.

"Oh." Han Jian seemed to have nothing to do with him, "What's the matter?"

"Master Pan, a famous scholar in Hedong, made an embarrassment at the Cuiyang Tower. The person who caused trouble was a young man. It is said that he had made trouble with Master Pan in public twice and twice. Alas, a generation of famous scholars have lost their reputation." Mr. Yang said, with a sigh in his tone.

"The three feet of ice is not a day's cold. Master Pan's reputation will be ruined, and it is definitely not decided by what happens in one day." Han Jian said, calling people to get on the carriage.

Mr. Yang was whispering what Han Jian said just now, feeling very surprised. When he got on the carriage, he sighed: "Why is Mr. Han's words so thought-provoking? Is there any source of coldness that is not a day after the cold is cold?"

Han Jian is annoying enough to be asked by Ruan Ping alone on weekdays. Now there is another young master Yang. Han Jian casually evaded him and ignored him by saying "It sounds like that".

Five people were stuffed into the carriage at once, and it was a little crowded. Han Jian simply came out to drive the car by himself and asked Wen'er to ride with him.

The three of them visited some old temples in Luoyang City in the afternoon. Many of the temples were vacant because the Wei Dynasty suppressed Buddhas. Originally, Han Jian thought that Mr. Yang also had some prejudice against Buddhism, but he was very moved by those displaced Buddhists and often expressed some emotion, and his slanderous words were like a Buddhist monk chanting Amitabha Buddha there.

"Young Master Yang believes in Buddhism?" In the end, Han Jian couldn't help asking.

"I don't believe it, but I don't believe it at all. It's also good for Buddhism to save people from the world and be good. Taoism is not good for everything, and Buddhism is not bad for everything." Mr. Yang's words seemed even more mysterious.

Han Jian listened to this, meaning dialectical materialism. He said that the education that Mr. Yang received on weekdays was inclusive, but not as cowardly as he appeared on the outside.

Han Jian didn't dare to continue to explore Buddhist matters. He was afraid that Mr. Yang would bother him asking questions like Ruan Ping.

After the tour, the sun was setting in the west and dusk was approaching. Several people returned to the bustling place in the city and found a teahouse to rest.

This teahouse is only one street from Qingyuefang, which makes it easier for them to go to Qingyuefang later. At this time, a storyteller in the teahouse was talking about the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang was talking about the sixth trip to Qishan and killing Ma Su with tears. This is the part near the end of Han's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

There are many guests in the teahouse. Unlike Qingxu Yashe, the consumer class in the teahouse is the middle class in Luoyang City, and Qingxu Yashe is a high-end consumer place in Luoyang City. As soon as Han Jian sat down, he saw a few "familiar" guests sitting in front of a table not far away. It was the "Southern Qi envoy" I met in Qingxu Yashe yesterday. The eunuch Zhu Tongjing was also inside. At this time, he was shaking the folding fan and listening to the storytelling.

Soon Young Master Yang also noticed Zhu Tongjing's figure, pointed, and Han Jian whispered: "Didn't see it."

Several people nodded and continued to listen to storytelling.

Although they entered the teahouse just to rest and prepare for a while to go to Qingyuefang, Han Jian's thoughts were completely on the table of guests when they saw the Southern Qi people. Soon after, after the storytelling, Zhu Tongjing got up and left with his servant, and never looked at Han Jian from beginning to end.

But Han Jian looked at the direction Zhu Tongjing and the people of Southern Qi went, and it seemed that he was going to Qingyuefang.

"They went to Qingyuefang too?" Sima Yi stood up and looked at the backs of those people, with a wicked smile on his face, "Eunuch Go **? That's not all you can see... Interesting, interesting..."

Ruan Ping stared at Sima Yi, and it seemed that he didn't understand Sima Yi's words.

"It's interesting." Han Jian glared at Sima Yi and said, "If there is a connection later, how should we deal with it? That's the Southern Qi people. If they can't do it well, they will be difficult to deal with it."
