After paying homage to Princess Anding, the chosen aunt, Wang Xun was introduced by Han Shigu to several other well-dressed ladies. They were nothing more than aunts and aunts, either with the Han family, the Zhou family, or the Xu family.
There are relatives in the family. Some are entrusted by the Xu family and come to look after their sons-in-law, while others are just bored at home and have nothing to do to join in the fun.
In the Tang Dynasty, Hu Feng was very powerful. He attached great importance to hierarchy, but paid very little attention to the differences between men and women. Therefore, the eyes of the aunts and uncles looked at Wang Xun as if they were choosing jewelry in a jewelry store. Even if they were buying for others, they would not care.
I wish I could try it on my head first before I would give in. Fortunately, Wang Xun had put a thick layer of powder on his face before he came, so even if he was looked at and felt uncomfortable, he didn't blush.
The women were not interested in taking care of the thoughts of a junior boy. As soon as the banquet started, Wang Xun was questioned one after another. Wang Xun had already answered most of the questions more than ten times, and he felt increasingly impatient.
After moving his chopsticks a few times, I lost interest in the delicacies in front of me.
Just as he was holding a glass of light wine and sipping it boredly, he suddenly heard a very delicate voice asking: "I heard that Mingyun beat up the traitor Wang Zhun in the south of the city a few months ago. In
He was captured alive by hundreds of royal minions and humiliated severely in public. Is this true?"
"Ah, oh!" Wang Xun didn't expect that someone would suddenly ask a question that had nothing to do with his family background. He was stunned and almost choked on his drink. Putting down the wine cup, he gently raised his hand in the direction of the question, "Reply
According to Mrs. Xiangjun, there is indeed such a thing. But she was not a junior at that time..."
"You kid!" Before Wang Xun could finish his sentence, Mrs. Xiangjun poked her in the distance with her orchid finger, "Didn't I tell you just now that in terms of seniority, I am your aunt, you should call me Fourth Aunt.
That's right! Why did you suddenly get angry again?"
"Yes, yes..." Wang Xun, who was stunned by the other party's charming eyes, responded with a smile, "It's the junior who was negligent. The junior fought with Wang Zhun that day, not with bare hands. There was someone beside him.
There were more than a dozen friends who helped. The person who captured Wang Zhun alive among a group of servants that day was not the junior. It was the junior’s friend Lei Wanchun!"
"Oh!" Mrs. Xiangjun opened her mouth slightly and put on a very good-looking posture. "Then you were outnumbered and were not intimidated by the arrogance of the Wang family and his son. You know, in the capital at that time, you dared to follow
The Wang family and his son can't find a few who did it. Even, even..." As she spoke, she looked around, pretending to be mysterious and lowered her voice, "Even Princess Yongmu,
She had to serve him tea and water with her own hands! She was like an angry little maid. But the prince-in-law actually stood aside, not daring to say a word of complaint!"
The Tang Dynasty was a powerful country, and its monarchs and ministers were confident, so they had little control over folk speech. Chatting a few anecdotes about the royal family at banquets was a common way of entertainment for everyone. Especially the family members of some officials often used this as news
It is a symbol of intelligence. But in front of Princess An Ding, it would be too rude to arrange another princess. Wang Xun was stunned again, grinned, and explained with a smile: "This junior is not forced
Are you in a hurry? If you don’t even care about your life, how can you expect to know whose son he is? Besides, there were Brother Lei and Brother Nan around me at that time, so I am not alone!"
"A man must have some courage and be willing to take risks at critical moments!" Mrs. Xiangjun didn't realize at all that she had offended anyone with her words. She clapped her hands and continued to comment with a smile. "If someone bullies his wife and children, he still obeys.
If so, what is the use of such a man? He might as well...!"
This time, not only did Wang Xun feel embarrassed, but Han Shigu, who had been apologizing to Princess Anding, couldn't sit still. She raised her wine cup and suggested loudly, "Elders and sisters, it's rare for us to get together today. Come on, let's do it again.
One!"
"Do it!" Several relatively prudent wives immediately responded loudly, forcing Mrs. Xiangjun's words to be drowned in the sound of urging them to drink. While everyone's attention was diverted, Wang Xun secretly wiped his forehead and secretly sympathized with Mrs. Xiangjun's husband.
. It’s not like I haven’t accumulated any virtue in my life, so I actually married such a woman. She looks like a first-class woman, but I’m afraid her belly is full of chaff.
While she was cursing, Mrs. Xiangjun had already put down her wine cup again, lightly opened her red lips, and asked softly: "Mingyun, I heard someone said that that morning, Wang Zhun sent three generals to rob a singing girl, but they happened to be raped.
You met and killed two on the spot and captured one alive. Is it true?"
After saying that, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Wang Xun with admiration, and the water inside them was full of water.
"It was an accidental collision. Those three guys were very poor in martial arts, and they all covered their faces with black cloth. I didn't know their origins, so I defeated them!" Beads of sweat finally appeared on Wang Xun's forehead.
He lowered his head and responded with a wry smile.
"Then Ming Yun wasn't scared at that time? Have you ever dated that singer before? How could she go to the wilderness in the south of the city so early in the morning?!" Mrs. Xiangjun couldn't hold back the more she asked.
, actually started asking for details.
"I guess someone asked her to sing a song the night before!" Just as Wang Xun was at a loss when asked, Mrs. Guo Guo took over the conversation with a smile. "I remember there are several big villages in the south of the city.
They are all villas for high-ranking officials. They must have been far away from the capital, but they can't let go of the excitement in the world. It wouldn't be surprising if they asked the singer to go home to sing a few songs and then send them back the next morning!"
"That should be the truth!" Although he felt a little sorry for Bai Yunzhi when he said this, Wang Xun still cast a grateful glance at Mrs. Guo Guo. "Anyway, I encountered a masked person blocking the road and robbing someone, so I can't ignore it."
"See you on the road..."
"When the road is rough, I draw my sword to help, that's what I am like as a man of the Tang Dynasty!" Mrs. Guo Guo exclaimed before Mrs. Xiangjun could speak. "Later, Wang Zhun led a group of minions to come out to find you, presumably to take back his general?"
"Yes!" Wang Xun responded with a smile, deliberately not looking towards Mrs. Xiangjun from the corner of his eyes, lest that heartless woman cause trouble for him again.
"So, you are right when you said that you were forced to panic!" Mrs. Guo Guo was very cooperative and did not give Mrs. Xiangjun a chance to interrupt again. "You said that Lei Wanchun and Nan Jiyun were also present at that time.
.Among them, Lei Wanchun, the hero who traveled thousands of miles to avenge someone and only took an egg in return?"
'You know this clearly, but you still come to ask me?' Wang Xun smiled and glanced at Mrs. Guo Guo again, but still continued the conversation, "It is the hero Lei. He was in Hebei back then...
"
This topic is obviously more suitable to accompany wine than the royal anecdotes mentioned by Mrs. Xiangjun just now. All the ladies turned their heads and looked at Wang Xun with big eyes. While listening, they did not forget to express a few words of emotion and curse.
The local officials were incompetent, they scolded the gangsters for their cruelty, and they praised Lei Wanchun's righteousness. After hearing that Lei Wanchun politely rejected the woman's offer of his life and took an egg from her as a reward, he even kept stroking his hands. Only
Mrs. Xiangjun looked at her long nails painted in vermilion and sneered: "What? I obviously don't like her. I'm just looking for an excuse for myself. If that woman is as beautiful as a fairy, I'm guessing she's not a big deal."
Your feet are weak. Are you still going to walk away in a hurry?"
"Brother Lei is not the kind of person who gets interested in sex!" Wang Xun couldn't bear it any longer and raised his voice to retort. "He has been in the world for many years, traveled all over the world, and met countless beauties. I have never heard that he did it for
What woman can’t even walk!"
"It must be because he hasn't met anyone who makes his heart beat!" Mrs. Xiangjun clicked her fingers, her tone full of disdain.
Wang Xun was too lazy to argue with such a woman anymore, so he smiled, raised his wine cup and took a sip. Mrs. Guo Guo also smiled, raised her wine cup, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the hero Lei has been following Zhang Tanhua.
.Now that Zhang Tanhua has gone to Zhenyuan as the county magistrate, Daxia Lei must have followed him, right?"
"He hasn't gone yet. He has a new apprentice and is teaching him martial arts. So he won't leave the capital for the time being!" Wang Xun responded without thinking. After saying the words, he suddenly realized that what he encountered today was
The Lady of Guo State was completely different from the one in his mind. In his memory, whether he heard rumors or saw it with his own eyes, the Lady of Guo State was very charming and domineering. But today's lady,
But she is graceful, generous, and considerate. She is not at all like the rumored person who can do anything with her husband. On the contrary, she is more like a lady who can support her husband and educate her children than Mrs. Xiangjun.
"Oh!" Mrs. Guo Guo's face changed in a way that was difficult for ordinary people to notice, and in an instant she returned to her previous calmness. This slight movement was caught in Wang Xun's eyes, and it was like lightning in an instant. "She was looking at me.
Asking about Brother Lei? This is the purpose of her coming here today and helping me out again and again!'
'Does this woman have true feelings for Brother Lei? Could it be that Brother Lei stayed in the capital not to mentor his apprentice Ma Fang, but for her?' Even though he didn't like to pry into other people's privacy, Wang Xun was still surprised by his own thoughts.
He couldn't even imagine the scenario of Lei Wanchun marrying Guo Guo's wife. Not to mention that the former was just a small county captain, while the latter had already climbed onto the dragon's bed. But the former's tall and majestic knight's back, and the latter's
The sinister and peach-colored image looks out of place when placed together.
But Wang Xun doesn't know what he should do? Although Lei Wanchun is still laughing and joking all day long, Wang Xun can feel that this open-minded and capable big brother has not been happy recently. "Master always likes to sigh!" The next moment,
Wang Xun recalled what Ma Shouzhi said to him when he met him a few days ago. His chest suddenly tightened, as if there was a stone weighing heavily on it!
