Chapter Twenty-Six Things Are Getting Big
Han Jian came out of Qingyuefang and had passed the third update. Because there was no curfew on the road, the vendors in the downtown area had not yet dispersed until midnight.
"Luoyang City is so prosperous, it's such a good place." Han Jian sighed as he looked at the streets illuminated by lanterns.
Sima Yi said with a sad face: "You think about how to explain to the princess of the county when you go back. It's hard for the princess of the county to know whether you make a fuss."
But Han Jian didn't seem to hear it, and suddenly stood still and shouted: "Oh no."
Wen'er, who was absent-minded and suddenly lost, did not stop and hit Han Jian's back.
"Ah, Young Master, why did you stop? It hurts so much." Wen'er touched her head and pouted.
Han Jian glanced at Wen'er, and he could probably understand Wen'er's abnormality.
He has been paying attention in the past two years. In order to make Wen'er the first person to control the responsibility of men and women, he instilled a lot of "knowledge" in her. A girl who is still confused about love knows a lot about love. Even she herself is mentally prepared. Who knew that today her young master was "taken ahead" by someone. Wen'er was jealous, but she was more guilty of not completing her mission.
"What's wrong?" Sima Zhi asked.
"I said that Mrs. Luo would surrender, but didn't say where to go. She couldn't find me, so wouldn't she have to leave?" Han Jian said.
Sima Yi glanced at Han Jian and said angrily: "You said you are the King of Dong. She has such a wide range of people. Naturally, you can find out where the King of Dong is in the capital. Are you afraid that you will not be able to find your person?"
Han Jian smiled and said, "That's right."
Ruan Ping on the side said with confusion: "What are you talking about?"
"No matter what you do, think about the exam for a few days first. If you fail the exam, don't let me stay here. I am determined to be in all directions." Sima Yi shouted to Ruan Ping.
Three old friends walked towards the Dongwangfu Villa and didn't say anything. Han Jian suddenly stopped again and said, "You go back first, I have to go out to hide first. I can't go back to another hall tonight. Go to Cuiyang Tower for a night."
When Sima Yi heard this, he hurriedly said, "You go to Cuiyang Tower, Ruan Ping and I will go back and explain to the princess of the county."
"You just tell me if you don't have it. If you don't have it, go to Cuiyanglou with me. There are empty rooms there anyway, so it's okay to live in a few people."
Sima Zhi thought about it and was questioned by the princess of the county when he returned to the other hall of the Dongwang Mansion. It would be better to go directly to Cuiyang Tower with Han Jian to hide.
"Let's talk about the big things when dawn. Ruan Ping, let's go." Sima Yi immediately followed Han Jian's footsteps.
...
...
Han Jian slept alone until dawn, and Mei Meng was in love. Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the room going upstairs. He was shocked and didn't even bother to do Meng, so he jumped out of the bed. Wen'er, who was sleeping soundly on the small table, was also startled by him.
"Young Master, do you... want to drink tea? Hey, it's dawn."
"What tea do you drink?" Han Jian put on his clothes casually, "I left, the creditor came to the door."
"Bang!" Before Han Jian put his boots on, the door was pushed open with force. Han Cuishi, who was angry, came in with the shopkeeper and his friend of Cuiyang Tower.
"Sanniang, so early? Hehe, have you had breakfast?" Although Han Jian was much older than Han Cui's, he always looked like he was laughing in front of his concubines.
"You're still having breakfast, you're so angry!" Han Cui entered the door and sat directly on the chair. Then Han Jian's ninth concubine Han Zhao also walked in and stood behind Han Cui.
Han Zhao gave Han Jian a blank look, as if he hated him for not fighting. Han Jian smiled at Jiu Niang. As his mother's former maid, Han Zhao, who was the lowest-born among the concubines in the family, also loved him the most on weekdays.
"Tell me, what did you do last night?" Han Cui sat down and questioned Han Jian who was standing beside him with his head down.
"Last night? Sima and Ruan Ping and I went to Qingyuefang to see Xiliu. It was too late when we came back and didn't want to go back to disturb Sanniang's dream, so we went to Cuiyang Tower to spend the night."
Han Jian was just talking, Sima Yi and Ruan Ping, who were sleeping next door, also came out to see the situation when they heard the sound. When they arrived at the door with the open door, they saw Sima Yi trying to escape. Han Jian pointed to the door and said, "...If Sanniang doesn't believe it, ask Sima and Ruan Ping!"
Han Jian's finger made everyone in the room turn over. Sima Yi smiled bitterly, and he couldn't escape, so he walked into the room in disappointment.
"Two princesses, young masters, everyone... you guys." Sima Yi nodded and bowed, but glared at Han Jian again, as if he was blaming him for being unfaithful.
"Tell me, did you two go to Qingyuefang with the young master last night?"
When Han Cui saw Sima Jie and Ruan Ping, his tone was slightly eased. After all, Sima Jie's father was Sima of Jiangdu, and Ruan Ping's adoptive father was a great scholar of Jiangdu. One held a group of soldiers and horses, and the other was full of peaches and students. Han Cui did not look at monks and faces. She had always been quite polite to Sima Jie and Ruan Ping.
Sima Yi didn't answer, and Han Jian interrupted, "Of course, there is another young master Yang who is also walking with us. He seems to have come from the palace."
"I didn't ask you, shut up!" Han Cui shouted angrily.
Han Jian stood beside him obediently, smiling at Sima Yi with a bitter look on his face.
The things that speak out are usually Sima Zhi said, because he is good at speaking, while Ruan Ping is a little stupid in front of others.
Sima Lian replied: "When the princess talks, that's the case. We just wanted to meet a singer named Xiliu. Later we found out that there were Xiliu in it."
"What happened later?" Han Cui's eyes became colder.
"Later..." Sima Yi glanced at Han Jian and sighed, "Later, Hu Erjin, the general of the Green Capital of the Western Prince's Mansion, went, and then the people from the Tingwei Mansion also went..."
Sima took what happened last night and went to Han Jian’s door to the door of Xiliu, the middle process was very detailed. However, he did not mention the matter of Zhu Tongjing, the envoy of the Southern Qi Dynasty, nor did he mention that Xiliu was actually an assassin who assassinated the Western King.
Han Cui turned to Han Jian and said furiously: "The dignified King of Dong, the backbone of the Great Wei Dynasty, actually went to places like Qingyuefang, and had an affair with women who were irrelevant, and even jealous with those guests! Where do you put the face of our Dongwang Mansion?"
Han Jian defended: "Sanniang, you only heard this guy say, but you didn't listen to me. Actually, I was in the room last night and nothing happened."
"Nothing happened?" Han Cui was also very surprised.
Han Jian continued to defend himself: "Sanniang also knows that the man is full of energy. When I see the Xiliu sisters, I will inevitably be moved. What's more, I feel happy that I can win the lottery for so many guests. I couldn't help it for a while, so I went in. But not long after I went in, before something happened, there was chaos outside. People from the Tingwei Mansion came again, saying that they wanted to search for the assassins. I was not in the mood to continue this, so I came back."
"Is this true?" Han Cui looked at Sima Lian.
"Go back to the princess of the county, that's really the case." Sima Yi actually wanted to let Han Jian in and tell him about the matter of throwing him outside, but he finally held back because he knew that Han Jian did not throw him away on purpose and was happy inside alone.
"Even so, the fact that the King of Dong appeared in Qingyuefang and had an affair with two women spread, and our Dongwang Mansion's reputation was also broken." Han Cui said, "I'm going to go to the palace to explain this to His Majesty. You are honestly staying in another hall and you are not allowed to go anywhere. Ninth sister, look at her, even if he goes to the cottage, you look at him."
"Yes." Han Zhaoshi gave Han Jian a blank look first and nodded in response.
After Han Cui left in a hurry, Sima Yi withdrew his gaze looking at the door and said, "Even Your Majesty knows this? Is it so exaggerated?"
Han Zhaoshi said: "The young master has not officially inherited the throne yet. Any rumors will be reported to His Majesty by the censors. If you don't help the young master to prosecute him, something will happen in the future."
Han Jian stepped forward, put his arms around Han Zhao's waist, and said like a child: "I knew Jiu Niang was good to me, so I can go out to play later?"
Han Zhao's arm was shocked, and Han Jian had to let go. After all, Han Zhao was his mother's attendant sword and had martial arts skills.
