Crossing Prince Yinren

Li Qufei was immediately shot through by the jealous eyes of the whole room.

Li Qufei stood up respectfully when Ran Mo appeared at the top of the stairs - not because he knew Ran Mo's identity, but because he recognized him as the man who had rescued him that day and whose identity was suspected to be the emperor People around me who have given me more than ten taels of silver.

He had already guessed that the person next to the man should be of extraordinary status, but he hadn't thought that it was the servant of the household department, let alone that this big man seemed to remember himself after so long, Li Qufei bowed and saluted flattered.

Ran Mo didn't pay attention to the other scholars except him, and walked out of the door surrounded by others without stopping, and none of the scholars dared to step forward.As soon as he walked out, the Songhe Tower was full of excitement. Those who didn't know Li Qufei before rushed to him to ask how he met Ran Shilang and what relationship he had with Ran Shilang. He didn't move, his face was a little stiff.

Li Qufei explained that he only had a double encounter with that adult when he was selling calligraphy on the street. Everyone envied his luck and blamed himself for not encountering such a good thing. Those who were thoughtful and flexible had already started asking him for calligraphy. , Ask him his name and hometown, and make friends.Surrounded in the middle, Li Qufei rarely enjoyed the treatment of the stars, instead of being repelled, he was very moved at the moment, and he quickly socialized with everyone.

Fu Linyuan watched from a distance outside the circle, and snorted coldly with disdain. This time, it was only the same year who would attack Li Qufei once, but no one said anything.Wu Yanfang, the usual good guy, didn't notice their emotions, but he also looked envious, obviously envious of Li Qufei's fate.

After the seventeenth night of the twelfth lunar month in Songhe Tower, Li Qufei's reputation quickly spread among those who came to Beijing to take the exam. Many people came to ask for calligraphy, and the gift pens they gave were quite extraordinary, which was enough to make ends meet. , and Xiao'er no longer have to work hard every day to set up stalls, help people with fortunetelling and write letters to make money, and are often invited to attend literary meetings and have dinner.

One day, I was invited to dinner again. At the dinner table, Qianmou, a family member with connections in the imperial court, was holding a glass of wine, and suddenly said in a mysteriously low voice, "Brother Li, Brother Zhou, Brother Zhang, I am from my family." I heard the news from my uncle that General Nalan Rongruo, the Khalkha general who is in charge of grassland affairs, has written a letter to resign and go back to seclusion.”

Li Qufei and the other two were surprised: "Ah, that Nalan Rongruo?"

Qian Mou said: "How many Nalan Rongruo are there in the court!"

The scholar Zhang surnamed suspiciously said: "Lord Nalan is only in his forties this year, he is in his prime, and he has a great opportunity to do something, isn't it?"

Li Qufei also looked puzzled.

The scholar surnamed Zhou added: "Nalan Xingde is the general of Khalkha, who is in charge of grassland affairs! Now Galdan has been leveled, and he is the largest outside the customs. Back then, when his father Mingzhu was in power, his power was nothing more than that. Who else thinks power burns hands?"

Putting down the wine glass, Qian said disdainfully: "What do you know! Think about it, which class of courtiers is Nalan Xingde? And who is it that gave him the military power outside the customs?"

"The Supreme Emperor!" The scholar surnamed Zhou seemed to have come to his senses, "You, you mean..." He couldn't believe it.

"I don't mean anything!" Qian interrupted him, picked up his chopsticks and said, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables." His semi-concealed attitude aroused the curiosity of others even more, and he was about to ask, Suddenly a young man in rich clothes barged in from outside the door, "Brother Qian, Brother Li, Brother Zhou, Brother Zhang, you don't call me brother when you drink!"

What the four of them said just now was somewhat outrageous, and they were all taken aback. The man came in and looked at the table, then grinned and said, "What's the fun in just drinking." He put his arms around Li Qufei's neck and said, "Brother Li, little brother, I have something to ask, I've been looking for you for a long time, come with me quickly." As he spoke, he dragged Li Qufei away involuntarily.

It seemed that he didn't hear Cai Cai's words, the other three looked at each other, relieved, and said with a smile: "Duan Mulin has any new tricks, let's go and see." Then they got up and followed out.

The four of them drank in a small hotel. They turned in at random while walking on the street. In the city of Beijing, there were eight hundred if not one thousand hotels. It was hard for Duan Mulin to find them.

After leaving the store, a large carriage was parked, made of ebony wood, inlaid with gold and silver, the horse pulling the cart in front was completely white, without a single hair, it was so magnificent that all passers-by paid attention to it, Duanmulin and Li Qu Fei has already sat on it.

As soon as the three of them saw the carriage, they clicked their tongues and said, "Duanmulin, pull this carriage out again to show off, in case others don't know that your family has made a lot of money in business over the years?" Although they said this, it was not the first time Seeing this car, I couldn't help but look around the car again before climbing into the car.

Duan Mulin said nonchalantly: "Isn't the car just for people to sit in? I can hide it at home and get another one out? Besides, my family's money was earned by going to sea with a narrow escape, and it's not shameful. Why should people find out! "The three of them shook their heads helplessly when they heard this.

The interior of this car is very spacious, with five big men sitting in it, it doesn't look crowded at all, and there is even a ten-year-old boy with a long hair looking at the stove and the charcoal basin.When Li Qufei saw the little boy, he couldn't help but ask Duan Mulin: "Brother Duanmu, my little boy..." He came out to drink this time with a smile on his face.Duan Mulin winked and said, "Don't worry, we're all following in the car, we won't lose your baby." Qian and Zhou snickered when they heard this.

Qian, Zhou, Zhang, and Duanmu are all from the south. The local customs are very bad, and the masculinity is very strong. Needless to say, rich families buy male concubines, buy prostitutes, and raise actors and actresses. Men from ordinary families form contracts with the same sex It is common for brothers to get along like husband and wife, and no one thinks it is different.The servants brought by the four of them to the capital, especially the little Yaoer who served them closely, were mostly those who also took care of the bed. They judged others by themselves, and thought that Li Qufei and Tong'er were the same. Seeing that he cared for Tong'er very much, he spoke out. make fun of.

Li Qufei knew their habits, and said displeasedly: "Brother Duanmu, my boy is only seven years old, and he has always been treated like a younger brother."

When he said it so sternly, the four of them felt a little embarrassed.Duan Mulin gestured to the little boy, and the little boy opened the curtain and said something, and the carriage drove forward with a rumble.

The scholar Qian surnamed famously said, stroked the rich and gorgeous fur nailed on the inner wall of the carriage, opened the curtain and looked out, and asked, "Duanmu Zicheng, where are you taking us?"

Zicheng is Duan Mulin's handwriting. It turns out that his family's newly bought house in the capital has been repaired, and Li Qufei is asked to inscribe a few words.This was not difficult. After the inscription was finished, Duan Mulin led the four of them around the courtyard of the pavilion, and then asked someone to clean up a table of exquisite banquets, and placed them in the newly named Nuanxiangwu. He was accompanied by four or five enchanting and charming girls, and began to eat wine.

These few girls are only sixteen or seventeen years old, not even the oldest, but they are all attractive, one is wearing yellow, one is wearing blue, two are light red and the other is crimson purple, among them, the one wearing purple is particularly outstanding.

Duan Mulin sat down and put his arms around the girl in the green skirt, kissed unceremoniously, and said: "My good sister Yuncha, you have become more and more beautiful after not seeing you for a few days." He said, very dignified, his hair was messed up by his hands and feet, he freed a hand, angrily twisted his cheek fiercely and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Master Lin, you are getting more and more shameless !"

Duanmulin mourned, but his face showed an expression of extreme enjoyment, and the other girls who were teased all covered their mouths and laughed.

Duan Mulin asked the girl in purple to accompany Li Qufei, and the other three sat by themselves.The three of them were all his acquaintances, knowing that they were prostitutes called by the brothel, each of them found a place to sit down, and said obediently while sitting, "Duan Mulin, the imperial court clearly stipulates that officials are not allowed to prostitute. It is hooking us into making mistakes!"

Duan Mulin said: "We haven't entered the official position yet, so we have to hurry up and have fun. In case Chun Wei really wins a year later, won't we have the opportunity to get close to these good sisters in the future!"

Both Qian and Zhou laughed and scolded: "You really owe it!"

Duan Mulin laughed loudly, put his arms around Yun Cha and said, "Dear dear sister, pick a new song and sing it for us."

Yun Cha took out the hairpin on his head and knocked him again, straightened his hair, put on the tortoiseshell nails, tuned the strings, and smiled at the rest of the people: "In that case, please have a drink first, I will sing a song by Sun Xueshi How about the new work "Snow Repelling"?"

The other girls got up with a clever smile and poured wine for everyone.

Duan Mulin shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, don't just use these 'Yaosheng Flying Ring' and 'Cold Cold Invasion Luo' to blame. There are no outsiders here, so why bother to be arty. Dear sister, just let that 'flirtatious' flirtatious. Erhou' sing it again and listen to it."

Yun Cha couldn't help it, so he had to watch everyone drink a cup, Ding Ding Dong Dong played the pipa, and sang: "There is an obnoxious person standing in front of you, so you can't get it if you want to achieve it. Kowtow you 1 heads. That one who is ungrateful and ungrateful will be the dog under the table." When he sang the last line, Xingheer's shining eyes gave Duan Mulin a half-anger and half-anger look, and Duan Mulin almost His bones were crushed by this stare.
