Chapter two hundred and ninety second drunk and sober
The sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music came from the direction of the Di Pavilion, but Qin Liang could no longer hear what the music was. He only felt that the scenery in front of him was a bit shaky. Yang Huiyu said he would not send it off, so he stood on the corridor, waiting to talk to him.
Yang Huiyu said goodbye.
At this time, Lu Xun rushed over from behind. After another introduction, Yang Huiyu stayed for a while, because Lu Xun had just arrived, and it would probably be rude for her to turn around and leave immediately.
Lu Xun obviously had a different temperament from Ji Kang. He couldn't say much to Yang Huiyu in front of Qin Liang, but while talking to Qin Liang, he looked at Yang Huiyu intentionally or unintentionally, as if Yang Huiyu had something wrong with him.
Like a magnet that attracts attention.
He said: "This Uncle Ji came all the way to me to take him with him when he came, but when he left he didn't even say hello."
What Lu Xun said may be the truth. Ji Kang and Lu Xun traveled the same way, but they didn't necessarily have a good relationship with Lu Xun. I'm afraid they just had contacts. But Qin Liang didn't think that Ji Kang went to the banquet because of his own favor, and most of it was because of his friendship.
What did King Pei Cao Bao say?
Qin Liang smiled nonchalantly and said, "Uncle Ji is informal at night. My elder brother should understand him."
Lu Xun shook his head and said: "I don't know much about it. Uncle Ji likes Lao Zhuang's metaphysics at night, and the servants are not willing to talk to him. He is so mysterious that it is almost nonsense. Is it Confucianism that General Qin studied?"
After Qin Liang drank, he talked a little too much, so he said casually: "The things I read are quite complicated. Tao is not necessarily nonsense. The thinking about the universe coming into being out of nothing may be true. It cannot be falsified, but it is also called
People can't understand it, and it's not clear because the content is too little. The world may underestimate the complexity of the Tao, and also overestimate people's enlightenment. I'm afraid it doesn't take one thousand years to gain access to the Tao. It can be done in two thousand years, and the method is not to sit through enlightenment.
, but it takes a very complicated process to gradually get a glimpse of the origin.”
Yang Huiyu didn't say much, but when Qin Liang spoke, she listened attentively, as if she was very interested in Taoism.
Seeing Lu Xun secretly looking at Yang Huiyu, Qin Liang turned around and looked at Yang Huiyu calmly, "The family education of the Yang family should be Confucianism."
Yang Huiyu just responded with a smile.
Lu Xun looked surprised and said: "General Qin and Uncle Ji have been going back and forth at night, maybe they can talk about it."
Qin Liang smiled and said: "I have dabbled in everything, but I am not good at it. I can probably speak a few words."
At this time, Yang Huiyu bowed his head and said, "I won't bother you too much. I'll take my leave now."
Qin Liang and Lu Xun returned the courtesy. After saying goodbye, Yang Huiyu turned around and walked south along the corridor.
After Yang Huiyu left, apart from the maid, only Qin Liang and Lu Xun were left. Qin Liang thought that Lu Xun was going to talk about his father returning to Beijing again, but Lu Xun didn't say anything and instead talked about a few people they knew.
.
Perhaps Lu Xun thought that Qin Liang was drunk and it was not the time to talk about business. However, Qin Liang was not confused even when he was drunk, but his reaction was slower than usual.
While the two were talking, they walked back to the hall of the palace along the long corridor. Qin Liang walked one step deeper and one step shallower. Lu Xun helped Qin Liang in the corridor of the hall and sent him to the upper level.
After a while, Huan Fan came up to propose a toast. The two drank one cup at a time, and Huan Fan quickly asked, "Does Lu Xun want to ask for the title of Three Dukes for his father?"
Qin Liang couldn't help but glance at Huan Fan and thought to himself: Huan Fan is indeed a sensible person.
Qin Liang did not hide anything from him and said truthfully: "We didn't talk about it just now. Before the banquet, he mentioned that General Lu was not in good health and wanted to return to Luoyang."
Huan Fan immediately said in a deep voice: "The article Lu Xun wrote about General Qin back then was just because he wrote good things about Lu Zhao and a small favor, so he was eager to get General Qin to repay him. The Lu family and his son are both villains!"
Qin Liang was noncommittal. The main reason was that when he met Lu Xun in Jizhou, Qin Liang and Lu Xun gossiped about Huan Fan together, but they talked very enthusiastically.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "He didn't mention it anyway. We'll talk about it later."
Huan Fan nodded, poured another glass of wine, and then went to the side to toast and chat with Wang Guang.
Then Ma Jun also came, stuttering some words of thanks. Obviously he was very satisfied with the official position of Jiuqing like the Shaofu. So Qin Liang arranged something for him, asking him to find craftsmen to make paper. No need to sang.
Paper was made of reeds and bamboo. Qin Liang couldn't remember the specific papermaking process, so he told Ma Jun some impressionable things. He asked Ma Jun to first mash and boil the raw materials to make paper pulp for testing.
As the banquet continued, Qin Liang became very drunk.
However, he was not drunk yet, and he persisted until the end. When the guests gradually dispersed, he still staggeredly escorted Wang Guang, Ling Huyu and other important guests to the entrance of the mansion.
The cups and plates in the hall were in a mess, and there were only a few drunk people left talking verbosely.
Qin Liang stood up from his seat again, and suddenly felt that the whole palace was shaking, as if it was an earthquake. He stood for a moment before taking steps. The maid next to him wanted to help him, but he refused. Chang Shi Fu Gu
, the eunuch Zhang Huan hurriedly stepped forward to see him out.
The showgirls and dancers were resting in the house next to them, and people came in and out from time to time.
Qin Liang thought that the first banquet hosted by General Wei's mansion was quite decent for so many people. The contribution of these dancers and dancers was not small. Without them, the banquet would not have been as joyful and enjoyable. Only in this way, he relied so much on
Only by defeating Sima Yi by force can he re-establish relations with the major families and ease the tension in Luoyang.
According to what Wang Xuanji said, these singers and dancers are actually in a precarious situation. Now they are pretty and living a good life, but they will be resold when they get older.
Thinking of this, Qin Liang walked into the room of the dancers. The tired girls came forward to pay homage.
Qin Liang was in a daze and didn't hear clearly what they said. He just said in front of everyone: "You have done a good job, and I will not treat you badly. All the singers, dancers and musicians who work in General Wei's Mansion will not care about you in the future."
For those who are willing to stay at any age, the government will give them a monthly salary to ensure their livelihood. In the future, you can learn skills and do some textiles and other things. If you want to get married, I will also give you a sum of money.
dowry."
Sure enough, he saw the girls cheering with joy, and many of them said words of gratitude. Qin Liang ignored them and turned around and walked out of the room. He turned around and saw that Fu Gu was still beside him, and said: "Fu Changshi is also very considerate in his work, and some
I didn’t expect you to invite someone on my behalf.”
Fu Gu bowed his head and said, "My servant is the long history, I just do my duty."
The eunuch Zhang Huan said with a smile: "General Qin is not drunk?"
Qin Liang said: "I'm drunk, but I'm sober inside."
The two then took him to the gatehouse of the inner house and handed him to the maid to help him in to rest. When they passed by the banquet hall where the female guests were entertained, there were no guests there, only some servants and maids were cleaning the house. There were not many drunken women, so they left.
It has to be earlier than here at Dige.
Wang Lingjun came out and took Qin Liang to the bedroom to sleep.
But Qin Liang couldn't fall asleep. He felt hot all over, felt flustered, and felt very uncomfortable, as if he had caught a cold and had a fever. His constitution was probably because the efficiency of decomposing alcohol was too low. Wang Lingjun made him a hangover soup, but it still had no effect.
After a drunken meal, it will take at least the next day to catch your breath.
Maybe this is also a way to celebrate, just like staying up late on New Year's Eve. You have to torment yourself to feel that you have enjoyed something.
...When the eunuch Zhang Huan returned to the Lingzhi Hall of the palace, Queen Mother Guo was playing the piano, playing "Qingqing Zijin", and Mrs. Zhen was listening next to her. Mrs. Zhen was a sister who grew up with Queen Mother Guo and often went in and out of the palace. Everyone
I have long been accustomed to it.
It wasn't until Empress Dowager Guo stretched out her slender fingers and gently pressed the strings that the sound of the piano stopped, that Zhang Huan stepped forward to speak.
Zhang Huan was sent to the banquet by Empress Dowager Guo, so when he came back, he talked about what happened at the banquet. Who attended the banquet, what they ate, what was said, what the scenery was like, and also talked about what Qin Liang promised to the prostitutes.
thing.
When Queen Mother Guo heard this, the corners of her unrouged mouth above her beautiful white chin showed an imperceptible smile.
She recalled what Qin Liang said many years ago when he rescued the late emperor's palace wife who was kidnapped by school official Yin Mo. She was convinced that even without Ayu, Qin Liang was more worthy than Wang Ling, Sima Yi, Cao Shuang and others.
believe.
After Zhang Huan finished speaking, he left and left. At this moment, Mrs. Zhen laughed softly and said, "Sister, when you play Qingqing Zijin, who are you thinking about?"
Queen Mother Guo was a little distracted and responded casually, still looking at Mang Mountain to the north.
Because Zhang Huan said before that the scenery of General Wei's Mansion is good, there is no obstruction to the north, and Mang Mountain can be seen directly. In fact, the same is true for Ganoderma Palace? There is also Jingyang Mountain to the north of this place, but its continuous width and height are far higher than
Go up Mang Mountain. As long as the sky is clear, Queen Mother Guo can clearly see the shape of Mang Mountain from the Lingzhi Hall.
Mrs. Zhen then whispered: "I thought it would be easy to meet after returning to Luoyang, but it seems to be more difficult."
Queen Mother Guo then came back to her senses and said quietly: "Wang Yanyun can probably guess that we have a close relationship with Qin Zhongming, so we have to stay out of sight. If Wang Yanyun knows about those things, it may not be a good thing."
If Wang Ling is allowed to know about the affair between Queen Mother Guo and Qin Liang, and even the birth of a child, the relationship between the Wang and Qin families will definitely become tense. The current situation seems calm, but Queen Mother Guo can also feel it
Very complex and subtle.
Mrs. Zhen sighed and said, "Of course I listen to my sister. It's not easy for me to see Qin Zhongming now."
Empress Dowager Guo faced the scenery of Mang Mountain outside, walked a few steps by the window, and said quietly: "We can only wait for the transfer."
Madam Zhen asked again: "Can the palace maid tell that my sister has given birth to a child?"
Queen Mother Guo glanced at the direction of the stairs and said: "I no longer go to Jingyangshan Hot Spring, and I usually don't let others take care of me when I bathe."
After saying this, she took Mrs. Zhen to the palace, gently untied her clothes, and looked at her lower abdomen in the bronze mirror. Mrs. Zhen looked at it and said: "She is well raised, but if you look closely, it is indeed not the same as before.
"
Queen Mother Guo adjusted the position of the bronze mirror upwards, and said in a somewhat complicated tone: "I found Weng in Lujiang County, but the color became a little darker."
Zhen thought for a while and said, "But even if the palace maids find out, they shouldn't dare to tell anyone?"
Queen Mother Guo still said: "It's better to be careful at this time."
Fortunately, Queen Mother Guo has long been accustomed to the cautious life in the palace. Just like a fish adapts to the water, there are dangers in the water, but the fish knows how to deal with it. She was not much better before, but now at least there is hope.
Empress Dowager Guo knew that she did not have the strength and ability to take charge of the overall situation. What she expected was for Qin Liang to take charge.
