Xia Houxuan had a very good relationship with He Yan before. In addition to seeing each other in Cao Shuang's house, the two often talked about metaphysics together. Therefore, He Jun was also included in the banquet.
He Jun saw from a distance that Xia Houxuan and two other men and a woman were talking. When he passed by, the three of them had already dispersed. So He Jun took a shortcut from the pavilion in the courtyard and quickly saw the woman clearly.
Shi Hejun's eyesightened, he kicked a stone, which made him cry out "ouch" in pain.
The beautiful woman looked sideways at the sound and gave He Jun a cold look.
He Jun resisted the pain and walked onto the corridor. He immediately threw out his fan and fanned twice, then walked towards the woman.
The woman avoided the wall, as if she didn't want to talk to him. When He Jun saw this, he felt a little annoyed. It would have been easier if he had come earlier, greeted Xia Houxuan first, and let Xia Houxuan introduce her.
But how can such a rare and beautiful woman be easily missed? He Jun still held his hands with a calm face and said: "Madam is also a guest of Xiahou Taichu? How come I haven't seen her before?"
The woman still ignored him, changed her position to a place near the patio, and wanted to continue walking forward.
He Jun dodged and blocked her way again.
The woman finally frowned and said: "There are differences between men and women. Isn't it normal that I haven't seen it before? Since you are a guest of the Xiahou family, why do you need to embarrass me?"
With a smile on his face, He Jun pointed behind the woman and said, "I'm about to go over there too, am I in trouble? I'm He Jun, whose courtesy name is Boyun. May I ask my wife's name?"
When the woman heard his name, a sneer flashed in her eyes and she said, "It's better that we don't know each other."
After saying that, she changed to the direction against the wall and walked away from He Jun. He Jun didn't stop her anymore. After all, as the woman's words hinted, the guests who could come to Xiahou's house for the banquet were all of some status.
Man, he can't be too obvious.
He Jun also has a way. He only needs to ask Xia Houxuan or Xu Yun to find out whose family the woman belongs to.
However, He Jun soon realized that his father, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was no longer alive, and his former friends Deng Yang and others were also dead. Nowadays, there is really no way to treat women with a certain status, both soft and hard, and they can only
Try to please. Thinking of this, He Jun felt disappointed.
At this moment, He Jun saw Fu Gu watching diagonally across the street.
He immediately planned to leave this place angrily. This Fu Gu had a good relationship with Cao Xi and had served as a minister of the Huangmen. He was dismissed because he offended He Jun's father. He Jun knew that Fu Gu had an old grudge with the He family.
So I pretended not to see it.
Unexpectedly, Fu Gu took the initiative to come over, and He Jun had to calm down and greet him.
Fu Gu said: "The woman just now is from the Yang family, Yang Hu's sister."
He Jun was stunned for a moment, his face turned blue and white, and he felt mixed emotions. Fu Gu observed him with a smile.
Although Fu Gu only talked about the relationship between Yangshi and Yang Hu, He Jun certainly knew that Yangshi was Sima Shi's wife! Sima Shi had a grudge against He Jun's father, He Yan, and now the hatred between the He family and the Sima family is even deeper!
At first, He Yan criticized Master Sima for being talented but not virtuous, and Master Sima held a grudge. Later, Sima Yi asked He Yan to betray his colleagues and then kill them. It was simply an act of humiliation and killing!
No wonder Yang said just now that it would be better not to know him.
Fu Gu looked at him for a while and said, "I don't want to ridicule Boyun. My father has offended many people. You should be careful."
He Jun blurted out: "Are you threatening me?"
Fu Gu waved his hand and said: "Bo Yun misunderstood. Were you not invited to the last banquet at General Wei's mansion? I am now the commander of General Wei, how can I disobey General Wei? This is indeed a kind reminder."
In the past, He Jun would never have had such a good temper, but now he could only say patiently: "I appreciate your kindness."
So the two of them bowed and said goodbye again.
He Jun returned to the banquet and continued to drink, eat and dance until the end of the banquet. However, the banquet at Xiahou Xuan Mansion did not satisfy He Jun. He only felt that life had become very boring, and even the banquet lacked joy.
Pleasure.
Whether it's socializing or having a banquet, isn't the greatest pleasure just meeting a beautiful woman and having an indescribable new experience?
But now it is difficult for He Jun to get women with status. In fact, he has good looks and is not short of money, but he was used to using blackmail and other methods in the past. Others were willing to give face because of the power of the He family. Suddenly, his situation changed.
Feeling a little helpless.
Recently, people have come to Beijing one after another. Xia Houxuan returned to Luoyang and became the right servant of Shangshu. He had just invited guests to a banquet. Within a few days, Qin Lang also arrived in Luoyang.
It is said that the imperial court gave him a Zongzheng official position. During the reign of Emperor Wei Ming, Qin Lang served as a heroic cavalry general. Although he has lost military power now, Zongzong is the Jiuqing, and his rank has been promoted. Qin Lang is likely to receive such treatment.
It was his clan brother Qin Liang who helped.
Qin Lang first went to General Wei's mansion to meet Qin Liang, and then came to the He family's mansion.
He Jun was called uncle without any pressure. In the past, when Qin Lang was still an official in Luoyang, He Jun was called like this. This uncle is really the brother of his mother, Princess Jinxiang, and his half-father.
Only Qin Liang, He Jun really can't say anything. Because Qin Liang is too young, and He Jun used to get along as classmates, they didn't recognize relatives at all, and the relationship between relatives was a bit far apart.
After Qin Lang arrived, the family sat together to drink tea. He Jun's uncle was about fifty years old. He remembered that he had a goatee before, but now he seemed to have more beard, and the mustache on his upper lip was almost connected to the folds of his chin.
together.
But having a large beard does not mean he has a brave temperament. On the contrary, Qin Lang's expression and appearance are a bit lacking in masculinity. Maybe it's because of his eyes, or maybe it's the tone of his voice.
Qin Lang's voice said: "I first went to General Wei's mansion to see Zhongming. I originally invited Zhongming to come to my sister's house to sit together, but Zhongming declined and refused to come."
Princess Jinxiang gently wiped the sweat on her neck with a handkerchief and said, "He may be busy now."
There was a large piece of ice placed in the upper room. He Jun felt that the room was not too hot. Even the bearded Qin Lang was not sweating. Only Princess Jinxiang looked very hot.
Only He Jun knew that my mother was wearing too thick lining, and she was afraid of showing signs of indecency in front of others. My mother was like this, even if the guests were brothers, as long as they were men, she would care about appearance; if not
He Jun is also here, and she won't even meet her relatives easily. So in He Jun's heart, his mother is as pure as a goddess.
But Mrs. Lu was also there, so she didn't wear such thick clothes, but she didn't show any indecent condition.
At this time, Qin Lang said: "I was negligent before. In my mind, this is the first time I have met Zhong Ming."
Princess Jinxiang said in surprise: "You haven't met yet?"
Qin Lang nodded and said: "The Qin family was originally in Bingzhou, and their family moved to Jizhou very early. I may have seen Zhongming when he was young, but it was so long ago that I have no memory."
Princess Jinxiang said: "The mountains are high and the roads are far away, so it is indeed difficult to meet each other. Fortunately, we are both in Luoyang now. You will have more contacts in the future. After all, we are relatives."
He Jun thought to himself, maybe it was because the status of Qin Liang's family was too low in the past?
Qin Lang said with emotion: "Yes, we are of the same clan after all. If it weren't for Zhong Ming, no one in Luoyang would remember me, and I probably wouldn't be able to return to the officialdom, let alone achieve the position of Jiuqing."
After he finished speaking, he finally noticed that Princess Jinxiang had been sweating, and suddenly asked: "Is my sister taking Wu Shi Powder?"
Princess Jinxiang said hurriedly: "No." She glanced at He Jun and frowned, "I hate that kind of thing."
He Jun immediately lowered his head and refused to say anything.
Qin Lang nodded and said: "It is indeed bad for your health. Even if my sister encounters misfortune, don't treat yourself badly." He paused and then said, "Don't be sad about the past. When I went to see Zhong Ming in the morning, Zhong Ming also said
You are my elder sister, and I will not be without support from now on."
When the Five Stone Powder was mentioned, Princess Jinxiang was very unhappy. She still frowned and said: "Zhong Mingming is a person who does big things and is very ambitious. I thought he had a grudge against He Jun, but I didn't expect that he had no intention of revenge."
I mean, I invited He Jun to the banquet last time." She turned to look at He Jun, "I told you to call Zhong Ming uncle, but you didn't listen, as if I had wronged you."
Qin Lang's eyes widened a little, "Is there a gap between Boyun and Zhongming?"
He Jun said: "It's a long story. He used to be jealous of my good background, but he didn't like me anyway."
When Mrs. Lu next to her heard this, her cheeks turned a little red. She didn't know if it was because the weather was too hot.
Qin Lang's voice said: "We are all one family, what's the trouble? I'll hold a family banquet at home later and invite Zhong Ming, sister, and Boyun over. Let's have a meal as a family and talk things out.
.”
Princess Jinxiang said: "I am still in mourning."
Qin Lang sniffed, glanced at He Jun, and said: "No one cares about funerals now. Besides, I don't invite outsiders, just a few relatives."
Princess Jinxiang's eyes evaded and she said softly: "That's fine."
Qin Lang didn't like to make friends with scholars. Even if he hosted a banquet, it would probably not be as full of guests as Xia Houxuan. It was just a family banquet to avoid embarrassment.
The brother and sister talked about Qin Zhongming for a while. Although Qin Liang was a young man who was ignored by everyone in the past, he is now the most critical figure in this circle.
Qin Lang probably means that now only by helping Qin Liang wholeheartedly can everyone be safe. Princess Jinxiang deeply agrees.
When He Jun heard his mother and others saying good things about Qin Liang, he still felt uncomfortable. He couldn't be dissatisfied with Qin Liang anyway. However, as Qin Liang's time in power gradually extended, He Jun accepted the reality.
But his feelings in his heart were very complicated. On the one hand, he wanted to rely on Qin Liang's power, but on the other hand, he felt disgusted in his heart, so he muttered: "Qin Zhongming also relied on the Wang family. He used to be like a son-in-law in the Wang family, with food and accommodation.
In the Wang family's mansion, hug the big tree of the Wang family tightly."
Qin Lang was a little unhappy and said: "You can't say that. Whoever defeats the Sima family, won't the Wang family benefit from our Zhongming?"
Lu persuaded in a low voice: "Qin Zhongming doesn't care about the past anymore, husband, just forget about it."
In fact, He Jun knew that the family members seemed to be right, but he was still not convinced, "That Wang Xuanji is the aunt of Qin Liang's wife, the Wang family, and now she lives in the Qin family and steals people. Isn't that what you said?"
Mrs. Lu hurriedly said: "I'm just saying that Wang Xuanji seems to be living in General Wei's mansion recently. When did you say she stole someone?"
He Jun suddenly looked angry. Princess Jinxiang stopped her, so He Jun and his wife stopped arguing.
