Only a few days later, Zhen waited for Qin Liang near the Wang family's residence and invited him to meet him.
The other courtyard is still located in Yishouli, which belongs to the southeast area of Luoyang City. It is a bit far away from the school office. The other courtyard is slightly closer to Qin Liang’s own courtyard in Lejin, but Qin Liang lives there recently.
In the Wang family, I didn’t go back often.
Just after lunch time, Qin Liang and Wu Xin set off in a carriage. Wu Xin, wearing a hat and a thick cloak, drove the carriage in front.
The carriage entered the gate of the villa and went straight to the wall in front of the gatehouse of the inner house. This place was indeed quite hidden. When Qin Liang got off the carriage, he saw Mrs. Zhen in fur clothes had come to the gatehouse to greet her.
The two of them bowed to each other, and Mrs. Zhen turned to look at Wu Xin and said, "It's cold outside, so please stay in the side room next to me."
Wu Xin glanced at Madam Zhen in confusion and said expressionlessly: "Thank you, Madam, for reminding me."
Qin Liang pointed to the wooden door of the gatehouse of the inner house and said, "Madam, you can find someone to replace this door with a thicker and more airtight one."
Mrs. Zhen's face turned red and she looked embarrassed. She came closer and whispered, "You think my concubine's voice is too loud?"
Qin Liang did not answer and continued to ask: "Are the two people at the gate reliable?"
Zhen said: "The couple were brought over from Liangzhou by my family, don't worry."
The two of them walked along Langwu, and Qin Liang whispered again: "You should know where the Wang family's residence is."
Zhen's almond-shaped eyes showed a look of confusion, and she nodded slightly.
Qin Liang continued: "Go west from the gate of the mansion, then turn right and walk along the inner wall. When you approach the end of the street, you can see a small earth temple. Next to the small temple, there is a double-sloped eaves on the inner wall.
It was damaged, and a small half of the bricks underneath were loose. There were not many people on that section of the road. When the inner gate was first opened in the morning, almost no one passed by. If my wife wanted to see me, she would take off the bricks on the inner wall and throw them away.
Go to the corner of the small temple; if the space on the inner wall is empty, fill it with half a brick."
Mrs. Zhen laughed softly and said: "I remember it. The idea is really interesting. How could you look at those details?"
Qin Liang said: "Madam, don't you think the carriage is very slow and the time spent on the carriage is boring?"
Zhen shook her head slightly, but she seemed to have tasted it and asked, "I'm not afraid, so why are you worried?"
Qin Liang said: "Mrs. Zhen's identity is actually a bit sensitive. It's better to be cautious."
Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it because my sister is Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager?"
Qin Liang nodded in agreement.
Queen Mother Guo probably doesn't have much power at this time, and she can't decide important things. But she is not a dispensable person. She at least has a status. In some extreme times, Queen Mother Guo may be the key.
Characters. Even the Sima family is sparing no effort to win over the Guo family. It would be a bit stupid for people in the court to completely ignore the Queen Mother Guo.
Mrs. Zhen invited Qin Liang to the room and took a seat at the banquet. She went to the kitchen to fill the hot soup and worked for a while. She also said: "I know how to cook. If you come earlier, I can help you."
Prepare lunch with your own hands."
When Qin Liang heard this, he immediately felt that Zhen seemed to be interested in him and not just regarded him as a target for stealing.
He knelt down at the banquet and took a sip of the hot soup. At this time, Mrs. Zhen had taken off her fox green fur coat and was only wearing a well-fitting black dark coat underneath, which showed off her figure and highlighted her uneven figure.
Her body curves. Zhen knows how to attract people.
At this time, she knelt down beside her, with a gentle and a little aggrieved expression on her face, and asked: "I spoke to you in front of His Highness. Is it because you are grateful to me that you agreed to the invitation?"
Qin Liang glanced at her, shook his head and said, "Of course not."
Mrs. Zhen moved a little closer and said softly: "I thought you disliked me."
Qin Liang reached out and took her delicate white hand in response. He picked up the bowl with his right hand, took another sip of hot soup, pondered for a moment, and finally asked: "I met you in the east hall of Tai Chi Palace before, so you often
Can I see His Highness?"
Mrs. Zhen smiled and said, "Your Highness is like my biological sister."
Qin Liang pondered and said: "I only hear his voice in the court, but don't see his person, but I don't know what His Highness looks like?"
Madam Zhen immediately chuckled and said, "You are very courageous. Is this disrespectful?"
"Nevermind." Qin Liang said in a casual tone, "I hear His Highness's voice every time I go to court, but I don't even know what he looks like. I'm just curious."
Mrs. Zhen then said: "Your Highness is a little older than me, but your skin is well-kept. You look pure and pure. You are much prettier than me."
Qin Liang said casually: "From the sound of his voice, I know that His Highness is a dignified and graceful nobleman."
Mrs. Zhen smiled and said: "My sister just likes to hold it. In fact, she..."
Qin Liang turned to look at her face again and said, "I won't tell anyone. We just whispered a few words quietly. No one knows."
Mrs. Zhen shook her head slightly and said: "Anyway, she is very good-looking. She looks nothing like me because I am an adopted daughter. Her temperament is also very different. She doesn't talk much..." Mrs. Zhen paused here.
"She likes to hear what I have to say."
At this time, Mrs. Zhen suddenly looked at Qin Liang's face, came closer and whispered: "When Jun Yixi did that to me, wouldn't he be thinking about His Highness while doing it?"
Qin Liang asked a little embarrassed: "Who is being disrespectful now?"
Mrs. Zhen bit her red lips and said, "No matter what I say, I won't be punished. Besides, no one knows."
Qin Liang smiled and said: "You can learn from me very quickly."
Mrs. Zhen raised her head and looked into Qin Liang's eyes, with a serious look on her face, and said softly: "Even if you think about her at that time, I won't be angry. How about you think about her for a while."
Qin Liang and Mrs. Zhen looked at each other for a while and said in a deep voice: "Qing Dan said that her skin is as ice-like as jade and she is beautiful. It's too general and vague. What should I think?"
"That's right." Mrs. Zhen nodded solemnly. Then she described her appearance. She was half a head taller than her, with an oval face, but the contours were not round and her forehead was flat. After talking for a while, Mrs. Zhen said again, "She is half a head taller than her."
I'm tall and not afraid of pain. My fingers are long, but not as soft as mine. You can vaguely see the tendons on the back of the hand, which gives me good strength. She can play the piano, but maybe she uses her fingers too much."
Qin Liang could only think of a general appearance, because people's overall appearance is too easy to produce differences. For example, people with the same almond eyes can have completely different feelings.
The more Zhen talked, the more interested she became, and she had already put down her initial embarrassed expression, "But I haven't seen her without clothes for many years. After she entered the palace, I couldn't stay in the palace. Next time I will
When I enter the palace again, I invite her to take a bath with her to help you see more clearly."
Qin Liang was stunned. He knew before that this beautiful woman loved to imagine, but he still didn't expect that she could imagine this.
Today was not like that evening, time was tight, so the two of them talked for a while before going to the couch. In the middle of the day, Zhen suddenly asked Qin Liang if he was thinking about someone else. Qin Liang didn't want to disturb others, so he had to say yes.
...According to what his cousin Linghu Yu said, Cao Shuang's younger brother Cao Xi has confirmed the official position of the leading general. At this point, it has become a foregone conclusion that Cao Shuang's government completely controls the Luoyang Central Army.
As Qin Liang expected, Cao Shuang's mansion immediately prepared a grand banquet, in the name of honoring Guan Qiu Jian.
When the day came to court, the princes no longer debated the topic of Jiang Ji, the leading general. Sima Yi proposed to go to Wancheng to attack the Wu army. Cao Shuang did not object, but other courtiers raised questions.
The courtiers questioned, probably not against Sima Yi personally, but just discussing the matter. After all, after receiving great benefits, Cao Shuang was not in a hurry to get into trouble with Sima Yi. Why were others anxious? A few people said to the effect that Wu Jun built a city in Wancheng and built fortifications. It is also close to Wu State and can easily get reinforcements. The Wei army may not be able to get a good deal from a long distance expedition. However, Sima Yi insisted on his idea and said that he would wait until next winter when the river water is shallow to attack.
Cousin Linghuyu sent an invitation to Qin Liang. Qin Liang has been collecting poems and essays about Guanqiu Jian these days, trying to get a general understanding of this person's stance.
There were only four or five border governors in the Wei Kingdom who had a large number of troops. Guanqiu Jian was one of them, and he was certainly a very important figure.
Qin Liang and Guan Qiu Jian did not know each other, and they might not have been able to exchange a few words at the banquet, but it was always a good thing to be prepared.
The banquet was held in the front hall of the General's Palace. Many people were invited, and there were several rows of seats on both sides. The last time Qin Liang saw a banquet with so many people was at the celebration banquet of Wang Ling of Huainan.
Qin Liang is very familiar with the courtyard in front of the General's Mansion and this hall. But now he rarely comes here. When he came here today, his mood seemed to be completely different.
There was a red charcoal fire burning in the hall, and the aroma of meat and wine had filled the warm air. In such an atmosphere, people naturally would not be silent, and the surroundings were surrounded by voices. Cao Shuang, who was sitting in the upper seat, said a few words to Guanqiu Jian As the scene unfolded, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music began to sound.
Sure enough, Qin Liang had little chance to talk to Guanqiu Jian, mainly because he was sitting a bit far away.
Shi Linghuyu, the chief of the general's palace who arranged to accompany him, sat behind Guanqiu Jian and seemed to have said nothing. Guan Qiujian had a better relationship with Cao Shuang's cousin Xiahou Xuan, and they often talked with each other.
At this moment, a maid knelt down in front of the case and said, "Ling Hu, Chief Shi, please come and take a seat next to him."
After hearing this, Qin Liang looked at Linghuyu in front of him. Linghuyu was turning his head and making gestures, pointing to the empty seat next to him. There were dishes and wine bottles on the table. But Qin Liang still took his chopsticks and wine glass. Let's go, otherwise someone will sit over later and accidentally use this pair of chopsticks and wine glass.
