Nian'er followed Li Xia's gaze and saw the jingling horse eaves.
She reminded in a low voice: "In our Fenglian Tower, you are not allowed to say those eight words."
Li Xia said: "I only said four words."
Nian'er was a little helpless, so he flattened his mouth and forgot what he was saying a moment ago.
It wasn't until she watched Li Xia walk out for a while that she remembered that he was talking about Sun Niannian...
Although Li Xia is a fugitive, he walks calmly, as if he is walking in his own garden.
After walking through the path, a maidservant saw him and hurriedly came forward to greet him. He said softly: "May I ask which girl's courtyard this gentleman comes from? Duan'er will guide you."
"Take me to see Mother Hu."
Seeing this look and listening to this tone, Duan'er thought he was a great dignitary and did not dare to be negligent. He first led the way obediently.
After that, she dared to ask as she walked: "I wonder what the official's surname is? Duan'er is a messenger for the official."
"Li Xia. I heard from Miss Nian Nian that Mother Hu sent people everywhere to find a book, but it's called "Junior High School Chinese"?"
"Yes, it turns out that the official is Miss Nian Nian's benefactor."
"I have that book here, the only copy."
"That's great. Duan'er will bring the officials to see my mother right now."
The little maid walked a few more steps, suddenly thought of something, and began to become confused.
She raised her head and glanced at Li Xia, thinking that the official's name was the same as that of the fugitive being searched outside.
When they got downstairs, after Duan'er reported the matter, she was still worried that Hu's mother would scold her for disturbing her while she was having an account with her employer. However, she only waited outside the small building for a while before a mother-in-law came down and took Li Xia up.
Li Xia walked all the way to the second floor and saw a woman sitting in the small flower hall drinking tea. She looked like she was in her thirties or forties. She was dressed plainly and looked very comfortable.
She must have been very beautiful when she was young, and she is not bad now, but her temperament is capable and she no longer has the attitude of serving others with sex, and she looks a bit dull.
Hu Zhen's image doesn't look like a madam at all, he looks more like a successful businesswoman.
Thinking about it again, after all, the people she associates with are the most dignified people in the world.
Li Xia suddenly felt a little warm. In his previous life, he had lived in the same state as Hu Zhen... he had reached the top of a profession and then moved to the business behind the scenes.
The social level is similar. They are not very important people, but they are living well. They are all in the most career-oriented state in life.
"I guess Mother Hu recently bought herself a gift, Lin'an House, West Lake Painted Boat, something like that."
Hu Zhen was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Xia's first words were this.
"How do you know?"
"Intuition." Li Xia said, "I also think we can become good friends."
Hu Zhen smiled, inexplicably feeling that he was right.
But she quickly stopped her smile and said with a straight face: "I am a prostitute, and all my life's greetings and farewells are empty. Do I have any friends? If I do, they are just one Liu Susu, but your father mistakenly made her ten
Nian Yunhua."
"Has Mama Hu seen me before?"
"I've seen you twice. You're not the same as before."
Hu Zhen was good at socializing, but she was too lazy to chat with Li Xia. She had seen many good-looking people in her life, and she was not interested.
Unlike Liu Susu, she fell in love with Li Yong and was obsessed with him for ten years. She only waited until Li Yong's wife passed away to become his concubine.
Because of these things, Hu Zhen didn't like Li Yong very much and was too lazy to give Li Xia a good face.
"Give me that "Junior High School Chinese", how do you want to trade? I can't protect you, but I can give you money, or try to change your sentence to exile through some connections."
"Do you really believe this book exists?"
Hu Zhen said: "Both your father and son are talented in literature, but for those five poems, you are not yet up to par. I'm still busy, so let's make an offer."
Li Xia said: "Are you busy because you are talking to Chief Guan?"
Hu Zhen was stunned.
Li Xia turned to look at the side hall and said, "Chief Guan, we are all acquaintances. Come out and have a cup of tea."
"Hahaha."
There was a high-pitched laughter, and Guan De came out of the side hall, stroking his hands and saying, "You are so good, Li Xia, how did you know I was hiding behind you? But it's not that I'm hiding from you, I'm just afraid that if the eunuch opens a brothel, it won't sound good.
.”
Li Xia said: "That night at Prime Minister Ding's Mansion, I heard the conversation between Prime Minister Guan and Prime Minister Ding. The scholars at the Gushan Literary Meeting said that they wanted to rescue the six imperial students who slandered Prime Minister Ding and Grand Official Dong. I was thinking at that time, Mr. Guan Ge
How do you know so much about it?"
"Then what?"
"I heard that Tang An'an was going to perform at the Gushan Cultural Festival that day. I guessed that it was probably Fenglianlou who delivered the news to you."
Guan De smiled and praised: "Smart."
"It is impossible for most people to build such a large pavilion in this area. I heard that the Fenglian Tower has a great backing; I also heard that Mother Hu once entered the palace." Li Xia said, "From this we can guess that the Fenglian Tower's backing is Guan
The cabinet minister is here."
"I don't dare take it seriously. I'm just an errand boy, but most things can be solved just by me."
After Guan De praised this, he thought of something and changed his words: "But, I really can't care about your business. I just heard from Mother Hu that you are wanted again? You have only been back to Lin'an for a few days. How many times have you done this?"
?”
"Chief Guan only found out today?"
"I haven't been out of the palace in the past few days, so I haven't heard anything about it." Guan De picked up the orchid finger and laughed and scolded: "Who do you think you are, like a little ant, who has the patience to listen to your nonsense all day long."
"yes."
"It's not good to offend anyone, but King Rong. Even Prime Minister Ding can't protect you, right?" Guan De rolled his eyes and said, "Let me tell you, it's useless for you to find me. The official family has only one younger brother, King Rong, and we have been dependent on each other since childhood.
, the best relationship. King Rong wants to play a small role in you, who dares to come forward? Obediently take out the book that Hu’s mother asked for, we will give you money, you can run away, run away."
Li Xia said: "I want to meet Mr. Dong."
"Don't make trouble." Guan De spat: "I see that you are handsome and you are a disciple of Prime Minister Ding, so I am willing to talk to you so much. If you don't know what is good, you have annoyed me and sent you to Lin'an Mansion.
"
"Please give Chief Guan a message to Dong Daguan and he will meet with me."
"Li Xia, don't go on forever." Guan De became annoyed and slapped the table: "Also, don't mention 'Dong Daguan' all the time. Just know it well. It's true that this is Dong Daguan's property, but it's just a private property."
It's a money-making business. If you want to ask for something, just go to Dong Daguan's house to ask for money. What's the matter with me? I'm bothered!"
Li Xia was not panicked at all and said: "It's not that Prime Minister Ding can't protect me, but it's not worth offending King Rong for my sake. But as the so-called 'Yan Martin is in charge', Prime Minister Ding is just relying on Dong Daguan to rise to power."
"Hey, of course, I don't want to think about who Dong Daguan is!" Guan De said: "But I tell you, Dong Daguan will not offend King Rong for you, and it will be useless no matter how much money you spend!"
Li Xia took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and said, "This is the jade pendant of Prince Zhong's biological mother, Huang. She rescued me."
Guan De was stunned and said: "So what?"
Li Xia added: "Please tell Chief Guan to tell Dong Daguan for me that all it takes is Concubine Yan Guifei to protect me, but I can do a lot for you..."
