After arranging the matter of the scholar accompanying him for drinking, Qian Ning rushed to see Zhu Houzhao excitedly.

When he was about to arrive at the door of Zhu Houzhao's bedroom, Qian Ning suddenly felt a little doubtful: "Do you should go and ask Concubine Li first to see her opinion on this matter?" Then he thought about it, and was a little unwilling to accept it: "That woman relies on her favor and has a brain to bully me repeatedly... I have done a good job in this matter, why do you still have to listen to her?"

After Qian Ning made up his mind, he waited patiently at the door of Zhu Houzhao's bedroom.

He couldn't go in casually, and he didn't know when Zhu Houzhao would wake up, so he could only wait, but in fact, Zhu Houzhao had already woken up at this time.

After the eunuch went in to spread the news, Zhu Houzhao Xuan met.

Qian Ning smiled and saluted respectfully to Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting behind the coffee table, and then said, "Your Majesty, I have prepared a banquet for you and beg you to go to the banquet."

Zhu Houzhao asked with a stern face: "Didn't I say you don't need to arrange it? Do you not understand human words or what?"

Qian Ning was scolded and felt that the crisis was coming, so he quickly defended: "Your Majesty, I was drinking and having fun outside before, and I knew a few people. They were very happy with some folk fun, especially the romance of the world. So I set up a banquet and invited them to come and drink, and wanted... to ask Your Majesty to come and listen."

Zhu Houzhao frowned slightly: "Who do you know outside? Who are they?"

Qian Ning said: "I am not very clear about what I do, but I can see that they are all scholars, and their knowledge and speaking well. I have not told them what they do, and I am embarrassed to ask about their situation... Since they were invited to come over and were in a sedan chair and came in from a side door, they didn't know where this place was."

Zhu Houzhao was a little resentful: "You dare to take me to my side without even figuring out anyone, aren't you afraid of being an assassin? What if you hurt me? Forget it, I'll go and listen to what they said... You said you've arranged a banquet, right?"

Qian Ning knew there was a chance at first sight, because Zhu Houzhao's face looked much better than before, so he immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I have made arrangements. I didn't explain your Majesty's identity to the guests, just because I'm afraid they will not do you."

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "You have thoughtful arrangements... Let's lead the way!"

As he said that, under Qian Ning's leadership, Zhu Houzhao headed to the side hall where the banquet was held. Along the way, Qian Ning began to talk about the items according to the pre-woven Taiwanese book:

"...I know many people outside, but because it is midnight, there are only two people who can be invited. They have family resources and like to look for flowers and willows on weekdays. There are many beautiful friends around me. I said there are beauties here, so I tricked them... Hehe, these two people are indeed unprepared."

Zhu Houzhao asked, "Then have you arranged for women to accompany them to drink?"

"Who dares not have His Majesty's permission?"

Qian Ning looked like he was clearly divided into public and private, "They were drinking. I told them that my son wanted to meet them and discuss the bad things with them. They would drink and wait... As for whether to give them women later, everything is based on the will of His Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao finally showed a smile on her face and said, "Okay, if they both have real talents and knowledge, have the ability to do things, and know how to drink and seek flowers and ask about willows, I will not be stingy with rewards."

Originally, Zhu Houzhao was upset because he could not see Su Tong and Zheng Qian and could not drink and chat with like-minded people. As a result, Qian Ning found two scholars who were satisfied with him as soon as he heard it, and his depression was much less.

When he arrived at the door of the side hall, Zhu Houzhao saw that the wine table was already on the inside, and a strange man was sitting there motionless. He suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know that the two scholars in it had studied books, but they had never achieved fame and fame. Until now, they are just children. They failed the college entrance examinations many times and were unable to obtain fame of scholars. When they were middle-aged, they no longer regarded studying as their main business. They usually took some work to write letters and write Spring Festival couplets for others. In addition, there were shops and houses for rent in the capital, so their life was basically safe.

The two have far inferior social status to Su Tong and Zheng Qian, and their living level does not meet the standards, especially when they were caught in a strange place in the middle of the night and drank with others. It was all right that they didn't wet their pants on the spot. Now they are sitting there listless, and they can't tell at first that they are not invited to drink and have fun with others.

Zhu Houzhao didn't go in for the time being, pointed at the two of them, and asked in confusion: "Is this what you said...friend?"

Qian Ning didn't know what was wrong, so he smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, why don't you go in and try their talents first?"

"No."

Zhu Houzhao said something, and probably understood something in his heart, thinking to himself: "Mr. Chen is the top scholar. He can be friends with him. His level is obvious... What is Qian Ning? Before he met me, he was just a hundred households in the Jinyiwei family, and he didn't know many words. What level can he have with him?"

Before he knew it, Zhu Houzhao despised Qian Ning in his heart, but Qian Ning didn't know it yet, and was still complacent about his arrangements.

Zhu Houzhao and Qian Ning entered the side hall together. When the two of them saw Qian Ning bringing a young man to come, they immediately stood up and looked at the person with a frightened look.

Qian Ning smiled and said, "Young Master, they are just friends they make... Two, this is the young master I told you. Why not introduce yourself to you?"

Qian Ning wanted to introduce him personally, but suddenly he remembered that he didn't know them at all, and he didn't have time to ask, so he could only let the two of them introduce him by themselves.

Among them, the one who was slashed respectfully saluted: "I am named Cao, and my courtesy name is Mengyang."

"Haha, Cao Mengyang? You are only one word apart from Cao Mengde? It's so fun!" Zhu Houzhao immediately laughed, thinking that the name was very funny. After she was almost laughing, she looked at the short man next to her and asked, "You won't say that your name is Liu Xuande, do you?"

Two children looked at each other, and used their names to mock people like this. It is rare in the world. Even if they are so poor in emotional intelligence, they still want to make friends? Dream!

But the two dared not get angry because they knew that the official who caught them here was the official.

The short man said awkwardly: "I'm the next surname, Sun, and I'm called Sun Ruo, but I don't have any word yet."

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Oh, it seems that I was wrong. I am not Liu, but Sun. That is the child of Dongwu... Your ancestral home is not Jiangnan, right?"

This question is quite rude, and Sun Ruo couldn't answer it. Seeing Zhu Houzhao sitting down in a big way, he glanced at his equally awkward friend, and he was not standing or sitting down.

Qian Ning stood behind Zhu Houzhao, smiling and saying nothing.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "Cao Mengyang, Sun Ruo, you two sit down and talk... Didn't you agree to drink together and talk? There is nothing to be reserved. I am kind to others. Just let go of your heart. Drink and eat vegetables... Come and pour wine."

Cao Mengyang and Sun Ruo sat down tremblingly, but were silent and didn't even dare to move.

Qian Ning clapped his hands and four women emerged from behind the curtain. They were the palace maids who were carefully selected among the women he introduced to Cao Mengyang and Sun Ruo before, and were specifically responsible for toasting people.

If it were usual, Zhu Houzhao would have disdained such a woman at all, but today a stranger was present, he inexplicably raised a little interest and even sneaked into a woman's hand. The woman looked at Zhu Houzhao with a shy face, pulled her hand back, and after drinking, he stepped aside.

Qian Ning saw the scene a little embarrassed and took the initiative to come out to smooth things over: "What are Brother Cao and Brother Sun waiting for? Don't you toast my young master?"

"oh."

Cao Mengyang then came to his senses, stood up and toasted, "To this young master a glass... I wonder what the young master calls him?"

Qian Ning immediately robbed the vow: "My son..."

He was interrupted halfway through his words. Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and looked calm: "This young master's surname is Chi, you can call me Mr. Chi."

Cao Mengyang didn't care about the other party's name or the birth name. It had nothing to do with him. He raised his glass of wine: "I'm going to pay homage to Mr. Chi." After saying that, he raised his neck and drank the wine, and immediately blurted out, "Good wine."

Qian Ning said proudly: "Of course it is a good wine, which has been aged for decades and comes from Jiangyang, Shuzhong. Do you think you can buy it next to you? Young Master, look..."

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "Why is Mr. Cao so unruly? If you toast, why should I wait for this master to answer? You should drink it yourself first... Oh, forget it, I won't be as familiar with you. Mr. Sun, let's have a drink?"

When Sun Ruo heard that it was a good wine, he wanted to taste it. He stood up and wanted to hold the glass with both hands to touch Zhu Houzhao, but before he could turn his body forward, he saw Qian Ning glaring at him fiercely. He felt a huge crisis and immediately shrank his body back.

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about this, and she tilted her neck and drank a glass of wine, saying, "It's true that it's a good wine... Only when you meet a confidant can you drink a thousand cups. I wonder if you can be your confidant?"

Cao Mengyang and Sun Ruo were both thinking: "We don't even know who you are. We are not willing to be kidnapped here by your subordinates in the middle of the night. Who thinks you are a confidant?"

Qian Ning smiled and said, "Mr. Cao and Mr. Sun are very knowledgeable about women, aren't they? Tell me your experiences and experiences."

Sun Ruo was stunned for a while, not knowing how to proceed.

Cao Mengyang at least said a few words: "I like to visit the kilns every day, but the kiln sister inside... Hey, Isn't the girl I see here today beautiful? Is this the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the capital? "

"Bold, you're looking for death, right?"

When Qian Ning heard that Cao Mengyang regarded the noble leopard house as a kiln, he became angry from his heart.

"Ha ha……"

Zhu Houzhao raised her head and laughed. After laughing, she was much more kind and said, "Mr. Cao actually regarded this place as a kiln? It's okay, it's all for food, drink and fun anyway. So what do you think is the difference between my kiln sister here and the kiln sister next to her?"

Qian Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but his mind was already confused and he didn't know how to guide Cao Mengyang and Sun Ruo to speak.

Although Qian Ning knew Zhu Houzhao's personality, he couldn't understand the thoughts that came to mind occasionally. For example, what happened in front of him made him very puzzled.

Beads of sweat as big as beans appeared on Cao Mengyang's head, and he plucked up the courage and said, "The girls here don't look like private prostitutes, they should have some background... It may not be suitable to say that the kiln sister is, but they should be the girl raised by Mr. Chi, who keeps it for their usual enjoyment, right?"

"Um."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, "It can be said that these women are the lowest-ranking maids in my husband's mansion. If you like it, just pick one or two of them to accompany you to drink."

"I dare not, I dare not."

Cao Mengyang said in fear.

Zhu Houzhao gestured to Qian Ning, and Qian Ning immediately came out and said, "Since it was given to you by my son, you should be welcome. My son can make friends. Since you know my son, the son asked you to choose someone to drink with him. You can choose someone based on your preference."

Cao Mengyang mustered up his courage, of course, he pointed to a woman who was leaning against the side. The woman was about twenty-five or six years old and looked very beautiful. What he thought at the moment: "Looking at the four maids, they are older and have relatively ordinary appearances. I chose to come here to drink and drink with her, shouldn't it be against the owner?"

Sun Ruo also chose one, but he still didn't choose the youngest and most beautiful one, but he still had the idea of ​​not offending his owner.

Zhu Houzhao watched the two of them choose the women. After both of them walked over, Zhu Houzhao stretched out her hand to hold the remaining two women in her arms, one left and one right, and then looked at the two people opposite curiously.

It was obvious that Sun Ruo and Cao Mengyang could not be so free and easy to Zhu Houzhao. At this moment, the two women were just standing beside them. They did not dare to extend their hands to cause trouble, their heads were slightly lowered, and they obviously were not adapted to the environment in front of them.

Zhu Houzhao said: "You have a unique vision. You don't choose the young and beautiful ones, but you have to choose the old and ugly ones. Do you specialize in this way?"

Sun Ruo and Cao Mengyang complained secretly, not knowing how to answer. Qian Ning next to him said in a fierce manner: "My young master asks you, answer honestly!"

Qian Ning's appearance of pretending to be powerful is not favored by Zhu Houzhao, so she frowned immediately: "There is nothing else. You retreat first, and then find a few palaces... The beauty comes in and arranges some other programs. It's boring to drink just? Oh, by the way, go and say to Li... the beauty and let her come and drink with me."

"Yes, yes, young master, go here." Qian Ning left excitedly.

After Qian Ning left, Zhu Houzhao felt that there was less restriction, so she turned to Sun Ruo and Cao Mengyang and said, "Now that annoying people are out, you have something to say... I wonder what you think of women in this world?"

"Well……"

Sun Ruo didn't say anything just now. Seeing that Cao Mengyang couldn't hold on, he could only speak up, "It seems that this woman...the most important thing is to live at home and keep her in her yard is her own."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "I want to take the women around you away?"

"I have no intention of this. Please don't misunderstand Mr. Chi. A gentleman will not take away the favors of others." Sun Ruo was able to deal with big scenes, but he still couldn't deal with such a difficult scene.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Since you like it, just take it away. Even if you can't be a wife, you can be a concubine, right? The woman gave it to you."

"ah?"

Sun Ruo felt like a pie fell from the sky. Although the women around him were not beautiful enough, they were all good for free. He looked at Cao Mengyang dizzyly, and saw that his friend was also confused. He even slapped his head hard with his hands, probably because he felt that he was dreaming and wanted to wake up early.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao looked at Cao Mengyang curiously and asked, "How do you understand Mr. Cao?"

Cao Mengyang shook his head nervously: "My wife... cannot tolerate her in the outdoor room. Mr. Chi doesn't have to give her to her, as she can't bear it."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "It turns out that there is a tigress at home. I guess it must be fierce and evil in normal times. You are subject to restraint everywhere, so you must not be happy, right?"

When Cao Mengyang talked about the family affairs, he was so scared before, and his tone became helpless, "Oh! I have suffered a lot because of this. I am afraid that there will be another trouble when I go back tomorrow."

Zhu Houzhao said: "Since you are so afraid of your tigress, then I will change it with you. I am willing to use these four... In addition to the person next to Mr. Sun, three women exchange your tigress. What do you think?"
