Chapter Forty-Four: Hu Meiren's Summoning
"ah?"
Mrs. Hu lightly covered her red lips with a confused look on her face.
Although she was a little surprised that Zhang Ji fell in the eyes of her sister so quickly, she always felt that the way her sister looked at her was... a little weird, and she always felt that she hated iron for not being able to make steel?
Shaking her head slightly, Mrs. Hu felt that she was a little sensitive.
After all, she and Zhang Ji were in front of the drunk Liu Yi at the banquet that day... Although she was very happy at the time, she still regretted it afterwards and was always worried that the incident would be exposed. She carefully observed the expressions of everyone around her every day.
Sometimes I always feel like they are laughing at me as a slut who hooks up with her husband's best friend.
However, it turns out that I was overthinking it. No one else was present except Liu Yi that day, and the doors and windows were closed. How could he be exposed?
After thinking about this, Mrs. Hu stopped worrying and smiled. Han Yu, who was standing aside, frowned when he looked at the expressions of the sisters.
Although he mentioned Zhang Ji accidentally, he always felt that Mrs. Hu seemed to intend to support Zhang Ji from Hu Meiren?
Forget it, maybe it was Liu Yi's instruction. After all, Mrs. Hu said that Zhang Ji was Liu Yi's close friend.
He was not qualified to care about a mere scholar who was good at heresy. What he cared more about was Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, the grandson of Xiang Guo Kaidi.
He has always been well aware of Zhang Liang's talent and learning. In the Yin soldiers robbery case not long ago, he also helped his ninth brother Han Fei to make great achievements, which further proves that Zhang Liang is not a man of empty words, but has a pragmatic attitude.
of true talent and practical learning.
Han Yu cherishes talents and loves talents. At the same time, he also knows how important it is to gain power for himself in the court. If he can draw this elegant and knowledgeable Zhang grandson into his camp, it will be equivalent to winning the prime minister's land.
support.
Since Hu Meiren wanted to summon the scholar who was not doing his job properly, it would save him from spending the time recruiting talents on such meaningless things as going shopping with his little mother.
Han Yu suggested: "In this case, Hu Meiren can summon her in the harem with the consent of her father."
During the Warring States Period, Confucian etiquette had not yet been popularized, and there was no great defense between men and women. It was relatively easy for concubines in the harem to see foreign ministers. They could meet with foreign ministers in the harem as long as they reported, so Hu Meiren summoned Zhang Ji in the harem.
There is nothing wrong with that.
That night, in the palace of King Han
Hu Meiren carried an exquisite food box and walked slowly in the deep palace. She was followed by two rows of pretty maids and more than ten imperial guards.
Because of the assassination of Zuo Sima Liu Yi a few days ago, the King of Han felt uneasy. He not only sent additional guards to accompany her when she was out, but also strengthened the guards in the palace and increased the frequency of patrols by the guards after dark.
Along the way, there were Forbidden soldiers in helmets and armors patrolling back and forth everywhere, standing ready, and even she, who had been living in the palace all year round, felt a little uncomfortable.
Finally, after Hu Meiren came from the dining room to the palace, the guards slowly retreated and stood guard outside the door of the palace.
Taking a deep breath, Hu Meiren pushed open the door of the palace and vaguely saw the plump body. As she walked, she took off her gorgeous clothes and wore only a thin pink tulle, twisting her graceful figure.
He came to the bed and sat down next to Han Wangan who had put on his nightgown.
However, she did not flirt with King An of Han.
In fact, Han Wangan is already in his fifties. He indulged too much in his early years and lost the ability to bully others many years ago. He just likes to use visual enjoyment to replace some unfulfilled desires, so Hu Meiren specially wears this temptation.
Human gauze to satisfy Han Wangan’s visual senses.
And because Hu Meiren satisfied the visual experience of King Han, but Han Wangan could not satisfy Hu Meiren's needs, so he decisively agreed to Hu Meiren's request to summon Zhang Ji, a scholar who was good at compiling scripts, in the harem.
As for worrying about Hu Meiren and Zhang Ji’s inappropriate behavior?
Just kidding, this is his Han Palace!
Although the four forces in the court, including General Ji Wuye, Prime Minister Zhang Di, Han Yu and Han Fei, are all in full swing, it is Han Wangan who has the final say in this Han Palace! Everyone in the palace is loyal to him
He believed that Hu Meiren would not have the courage to do anything inappropriate under his nose.
The next day, Zhang Ji's mansion
A luxurious carriage, escorted by a group of forbidden troops, stopped at the door of Zhang Ji's mansion.
Don't look at the TV series where the emperor summons his ministers. When concubines summon their families, it seems that they send someone to pick them up at short notice. In fact, the servants have already informed the people who are about to be summoned in advance, allowing them to bathe and change clothes in advance, and understand some of the etiquette and taboos in the palace in advance.
, will be summoned to the palace on the second day.
And last night, a chamberlain also came to his house to inform him about today's summons by Hu Meiren.
But at that time, Zhang Ji was having a verbal dispute with Mrs. Hu who lived alone in Zuosima Mansion. Mrs. Hu seemed to have forgotten how many times she had promised Zhang Ji. Now she is even more addicted to the pleasure of revenge against Liu Yi.
, and has developed the good habit of eating actively, not being picky about food, not wasting food, and wiping his mouth clean after meals. Zhang Ji’s careful teaching over a long period of time has also given him the confidence and motivation to continue teaching.
Lying on his side on Madam Hu's bed, Zhang Ji listened to Madam Hu telling her everything about what happened in the West Garden. For a moment, he was a little dumbfounded.
A few years ago, a Zhao Guo opera troupe got lost in the wild and strayed into Niushou Village. Lu Goujian, who was very cold at the time and did not speak to him, sang the song "You hate me for being late, I hate you for being born."
The poem "Morning" was also casually mentioned when making nonsense. Unexpectedly, the musicians of the troupe heard it and quickly asked about the story behind the poem.
At that time, Lu Goujian did not teach him martial arts, so when he was bored, he casually made up a love story between a middle-aged uncle and a girl who had just reached haircut, which could be used as a criminal law case in later generations. Who knew that the musician actually made it up?
The drama also made him famous in various places.
However, he did not let Mrs. Hu push for this summons on his behalf.
Dramas, such as "The Injustice of Dou E", "The Peacock Flies Southeast", "Li Huiniang", anyway, they just asked him to tell the story but they didn't really ask him to adapt it into an opera. Isn't it easy to get it?
No matter how bad it was, if he cut out part of the classical novels and modern online articles he had read in his previous life and turned it into a story, he still wouldn't believe that he could handle a mere Hu beauty.
What's more, he also wanted to meet this enchanting Hu beauty in person and have a long conversation with her.
