Chapter 423: Old things

The story is of course to be heard, and there must be a suitable place.
Such as the mansion of Xiahoudi.
These are the rare roads Xue Mu knew in the huge capital. They visited with Xue Qingqiu. It was for negotiation and wanted Xiahoudi to spend the night, and at the same time Xue Mu racked his brains to gain a foothold in this world. World War I.
It was no problem to say that Xiahoudi was the first pass Xue Mu faced in this life.
But now she took him home by herself, and there was an ambiguity between the two.
"This mansion is at the end of the dead end, right and left, but it occupies a large area at the rear." Xia Houdi stood at the door and looked up and introduced: "Your Majesty rewarded me for living. There are people who understand the public in the six doors. After reading it, I said this. It’s a deadly and ominous place, suggesting that I stay idle and choose another place to live. Then I scolded me, there is no life or death in the land, and there is no reason for idleness in a good place."
Xue Mu looked at it for a while and replied: "It's really not too good. If someone assassinates..."
"Xue Qingqiu of your family didn't dare to move me easily. If the chief arrester of the six doors is really assassinated, it is not the cause of death here, but the imperial court is dying."
"Normally this is the case, but now the situation is different. Those who are disadvantageous to you may come from the court. You should pay attention."
"Yeah..." Xiahoudi smiled and pushed in.
The old servant was sitting cross-legged in the hall. Seeing Xiahoudi's return, he hurriedly greeted him: "Is the always arrested?"
Then he stopped Xue Mu with a surprised look, and suddenly smiled: "It turned out to be Manager Xue."
Xue Mu smiled and said, "I have visited before, do you remember the old man?"
The old servant smiled and said, "Old slaves have served more tea and water to meet customers. Mr. Xue is the only one who thanked me. It's hard to remember."
Old slave... Xue Mu took a serious look and realized that this was a father-in-law... He didn't start practicing at the beginning, and he didn't understand anything, but now that he can't understand the practice of this old servant at all. . It's normal to want to come here. He didn't think much about it, and said casually: "I don't believe it, the head catcher is also a high-powered person, and the guests should respect the old man."
The old servant smiled slightly: "So they respect the head catcher, but you are the only one who thanked me."
Xue Mu was stunned, Xia Houdi smiled beside him: "Okay. I have something to tell Manager Xue, Uncle Wang helps warm the pot of wine."
The old servant smiled ambiguously: "Yes."
Xiahoudi didn't care about his slightly dignified expression, and led Xue Mu to the back hall, and smiled: "The first time I have a guest here, it’s for your Qin Fairy to build momentum. I thought it would be fine to ask the restaurant to bring a water table. But at that time, I discovered that no one at home really can't treat guests. Fortunately, King Qi sent a housekeeper to help, otherwise he would be embarrassed."
Xue Mu smiled and said, "Thank you for the first time you catch the head."
Xia Houdi glared at him, and Xue Mu frowned nonchalantly.
Xiahoudi was too lazy to talk about him, and walked into the backyard. There is a pavilion outside the corridor, with a few branches of Sumei adorn the pavilion, and the pavilion cover is thick with snow, and the snow plums reflect each other, which is quite interesting. Xiahoudi entered the pavilion and looked at Mei with his hand held down.
Xue Mu followed behind and looked at her look very interesting. Even a proud woman like Xue Qingqiu will inevitably have some little women's taste when enjoying the scenery. But looking at Xiahoudi's back, she is quite brilliant, and the hunting cloak is black and red. The suits of the public service, capable and easy, can only make people feel very handsome.
Such a woman... She doesn't really think of herself as a woman. It must be painful to throw oneself on the absolute spectrum.
Xiahoudi suddenly said, "You wrote a plum blossom poem to Xiao Qingwu? By the side of the broken bridge outside the post, loneliness leaves no master."
"Well, that's a word." Xue Muqi said: "How did you know?"
"After she treated your Majesty today, I went to find her and ask about her condition, and happened to see her reading." Xia Houdi turned his head and looked at him: "I love Mei too, why don't you write the first to me?"
Xue Mu blinked his eyes: "Is this jealous?"
"No." Xiahoudi expressionlessly: "This is asking for bribes."
Xue Mu laughed blankly. Looking left and right, the pavilion column is blank, and there is really no habit of writing poems in this life. He thought about it, took out the folding fan, and carved a sentence on the left and right pillars:
"Don't praise the color"
"Just leave the fresh air to fill the universe"
Xiahoudi watched steadily, and his eyes became misty again. I don't know how long I watched, and finally sighed: "Xiahou dare not accept this."
"I think you deserve it."
The old servant brought the hot wine up, Xiahoudi stopped talking, and smiled instead: "Uncle Wang, go and rest. Here I will come by myself."
The old servant responded with a smile, and when he turned to leave, he stopped to look at Xue Mu's poem, and sighed thoughtfully.
"Sit down." Xiahoudi flicked his cloak and sat down first, pouring the wine with his hands, and said lightly: "Do you know why I am always surnamed Xiahou but not Ji?"
Once the atmosphere of the discussion is reached, there is no nonsense to open the door immediately. Xue Mu really appreciates her capable appearance: "I would like to hear more."
"Xiahou is my mother's surname. She was a fisher girl by the river. At that time, her Majesty was still a prince, and she often went hunting. On a trip, I met my mother with a bit of beauty, and raped her directly in the daisy bush. After October, There is Xiahoudi in the world." Xiahoudi said lightly, as if talking about a completely irrelevant case: "Your Majesty has returned with satisfaction and never considered what the fisher girl would do. My mother gave birth to me and raised me alone. After more than three years, we lost our lives in poverty."
Xue Mu was silent.
"His Majesty has been on the throne for a year. Maybe that day, on a whim, thinking of the game of that year, I ran out to take a look, and it happened to see his mother for the last time." Xiahoudi smiled mockingly: "Your Majesty had a blood relative test. Since then, there has been a little palace lady named Xiahoudi in the palace."
"Lady..."
"Of course it can only be a court lady. This is a royal scandal. There is no such wild princess. Not only cannot be given a name, but it must be strictly forbidden. You see, for more than 20 years, I have become a minister, and I have a very casual relationship with my brothers. , But the so-called princess status can still only be a conjecture without evidence by outsiders."
"..." Xue Mu didn't say anything, basically the beginning of this story did not exceed his expectations.
Xiahoudi took a sip of the wine and said, "Your Majesty is very good to me, perhaps because he has nine sons and no daughter... For many years, he has been caring for him, named as a court lady, and actually lives in the inner palace courtyard, let The worship hall taught me literacy and martial arts, and sent princes to take care of my daily life. I don’t understand the rules and run around the house and no one teaches me... Actually, it’s a princess treatment."
"This is called the princess treatment? Which princess is taken care of by an old eunuch... and it's the worship hall that teaches you, and the royal family's own martial arts? Besides, you probably haven't even touched Qiankun Ding."
Xiahoudi was surprised: "How do you know I haven't touched Qiankun Ding?"
If you have touched it, can you still get a breakthrough after being touched by me? Obviously, I have never touched Ding.
Xue Mu didn't say directly, just said: "Anyway, you are too easy to be satisfied, obviously there is a big difference in treatment."
"Satisfied." Xiahoudi didn't get to the bottom of the question, and smiled and said: "There are people who take care of someone and teach. How many people can't ask for it and are not satisfied?"
Xue Mu could only nod his head: "Yeah."
Xiahoudi said: "The princes who were fashionable in the palace, such as King Qi and King Tang, are not much older than me. The wild girls run around in the palace, but they are quite familiar with them. They are fashionable young, and they don’t understand. Why is there such a small lady in the palace who can run around, but it is quite novel. One or two with runny noses wearing open crotch pants is a great way to show that I will be accepted as a concubine when I grow up. Think about how it looked like at that time. Fun."
"Hey, you're very proud of it?"
"Tong Yan Wuji, are you jealous too?" Xiahoudi smiled, "It's really boring."
Xue Mu snorted, poured his own drink, suddenly thought of something, haha ​​laughed: "So I'm jealous, do you think it's normal?"
