Forty-seven, I want a mansion
Zhou Xuan saw Princess Qingle in front of the Yudian Palace. She was not wearing a white wedding dress today, and was wearing a pretty fallen horse bun. The lake green palace skirt wrapped in a tall and graceful figure, bright eyes and white teeth, and her skin was as bright as snow. She was as fresh as tender onions. She couldn't help but make Zhou Xuan's tongue produce saliva.
In terms of appearance, Princess Qingle is really the most beautiful among the women Zhou Xuan has ever seen. Queen Zhou is an elder and is not among the comments. Qin Que, the needle in front of Princess Qingle is about to be overshadowed. Even the beautiful fairy of Hongluan and the pure and quiet sheep Xiaopin seem to be inferior to Princess Qingle. As for where it is not enough, it is hard to say. Anyway, the first feeling is that Princess Qingle is more beautiful. Her slender figure is a bit like the Taiwanese supermodel Wu Peici, and her face is even more delicate and beautiful than Princess Wu Peici. Although her long skirt is on the ground, judging from Princess Qingle, her legs are very long. When she stands, she will naturally rise back and look at it, which is very attractive.
But it is not enough to be beautiful on the outside. Marquis Zhou also appreciates the beauty of the soul. Thinking of Princess Qingle's perverse temper, he made him shake his head secretly. It is better to stay away from such a woman, no matter how beautiful she looks, she will be the case after she has been looking at her for a long time.
Feng Ajian walked in a hurry and walked to Princess Qingle first. Wanfu said, "Your Highness, the Marquis of Xinzhou is here."
The beautiful and noble Princess Qingle nodded reservedly, stood on the danmu and looked down at Zhou Xuan, waiting for Zhou Xuan to salute her.
Zhou Xuan held his hands, leisurely and said with a smile: "Pig girl, the weather is hahaha today."
Princess Qingle said annoyedly: "Who is your Zhumei? This princess does not admit that you are my cousin."
Zhou Xuan said: "What's the use of not admitting it? Your Majesty has an order. Zongzheng Temple has a record. You are my pig girl. Even His Royal Highness calls me cousin Xuan. Wouldn't you be so rude!"
Princess Qingle could not argue with Zhou Xuan. She was about to be angry and was about to be angry. There was Ajian on the side, and the palace maids were all worried. When the princess started to get angry, the whole Jingxu Palace was not at peace. Unexpectedly, the princess suddenly smiled. Although it was a bit forced, she was indeed laughing, and her tone became softer, saying, "Huozhu is a joke, cousin Xuan takes it seriously?"
Zhou Xuan was stunned. This was not the princess' nature. There must be a fraud. He smiled and said, "It's okay, my cousin is very generous and I won't care about my princess's cousin."
Princess Qingle secretly hated her heart, and smiled on the surface: "The portrait that Cousin Xuan painted for my mother is really a magical product. Huzhu also wants to ask her cousin to paint it. Is it OK?"
Zhou Xuan thought to himself, "How do you want to tease me? When you suddenly took off your clothes and shouted illegitimate? No, you, a royal lady, wouldn't you be so vulgar?" He said, "I was here to paint my cousin today, but I just met my aunt and said that in three days, I would convene three ministers and two provinces in Qinzheng Hall to test whether I have the qualifications to be a Grand Secretary in Jixian Hall, and asked me to go back to study poetry and books to prepare for the exam, so I came to say to my cousin, how about the portrait of you after I was awarded the Grand Secretary of the Cousin Hall?"
Princess Qingle hurriedly said, "Cousin Xuan is very talented, why do you need to prepare for the exam? Cousin Xuan, it's good to take one hour a day to paint my portrait, just one hour?" As she said that, she stretched out a finger like a green onion tube, indicating that it would not take up too much time in Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan couldn't bear the charming appearance of Princess Qingle. Even though he knew that the princess was not kind, his charming appearance made him unable to refuse. Zhou Xuan was looking forward to taking the trick and said, "Okay, from tomorrow, I will come to Jingxu Palace in the afternoon, right from Shenshi."
Princess Qingle couldn't wait to ask: "Cousin Xuan, why don't you start today?"
Zhou Xuan said: "There is something happening today, and my cousin is not ready, right? I'll go back first, see you tomorrow." After that, he bowed, turned around and left.
Princess Qingle stared at Zhou Xuan's back, put away the smile on her face, and thought to herself: "I deliberately pushed and stopped it, and it seemed like I begged him. If there is any preparation for the portrait, I can just sit there - by the way, some things are indeed not ready!"
Princess Qingle smiled proudly when she thought of her clever plan to tease Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan came from the corridor between Jingxu Palace and Daxing Palace to outside the Danfeng Gate of Daxing Palace. He had a fish patrol talisman, and could freely enter and exit the palace ban, find eunuch Bai, and ask His Majesty and his subordinates, and the Secretary of the Central Committee discussed the official position of Hu Shang Abu?
Eunuch Bai said: "It's not decided yet. Shizhong Wei objected, and Grandpa Qi was ambiguous, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went in just now, so he should be able to decide."
Zhou Xuan nodded, said goodbye to Eunuch Bai, met Sichi outside the palace gate, and returned to the shore of Mochou Lake.
Lin Heishan had already set out for Hongzhou. Abu was waiting for the official robe to put on his body and had been waiting in the residence hall for a whole morning. When he saw Zhou Xuan, he hurriedly came up and called out, "Marty Zhou." He looked expectant.
Zhou Xuan said: "Brother Abu, you should be indifferent. Isn't it vulgar to be so passionate about fame and fortune?"
Abu felt cold: "Why, no official position? I was a vulgar businessman. I donated 50,000 taels of silver just to pursue indifference? To be honest, I am not that patriotic."
Abu was depressed and the servant came to report to the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Lord Liu, arrived.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Brother Abu, good things are coming!"
Gu Changshi accompanied Liu Shilang from the Ministry of Personnel into the hall. Liu Shilang first greeted Zhou Xuan and Judge Fan. His eyes swept, and saw Abu, who was uneasy and blue eyes and purple beard. He smiled and bowed, "Congratulations to Lord Abu, Your Majesty, for granting you the seventh rank of Chaosanlang."
Abu was overjoyed. He had only expected that he would have a eighth or ninth rank and would have a good job. Unexpectedly, he was the seventh rank. He was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and thanked the emperor for his gratitude.
Zhou Xuan, Judge Fan, and Chief Gu all came to congratulate Abu and called him "Mr. Chaosanlang". He was so happy that Abu was so happy that he immediately changed his words, no longer calling himself "human" but humbly calling him "lower official".
Mr. Liu smiled and said, "My Lord Chaosanlang, please go to the Ministry of Personnel to register for the naturalization, receive the official uniform, and then enter the Daxing Palace to thank you."
Abu Lesizi followed Mr. Liu.
Sun Zhan and Sun Sheng brothers came over and said, "Brother Zhou, the battle to win the championship of the Qingming Festival is about to begin soon. Our Yuanshe is still not organized?"
The Sun brothers have been bored for many days and have long wanted to show off their legs.
Zhou Xuan asked: "Last time I asked you to go to Li Qiutou, Donggong Yuanshe, to try the ball, didn't you go?"
Sun Zhan said: "It's not interesting to live under someone else's roof. That Li Qiutou obviously doesn't want us to join. Why bother to see his expression? We should set up a Yuanshe ourselves."
The Sun brothers obviously regarded Zhou Xuan as their own people, and they did not feel like they were living under someone else's roof.
Sun Sheng spoke very straightforwardly: "Brother Zhou, although you have no power, you are a marquis of the country at least, so it is also necessary to set up a Yuanshe."
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, then we will form one by ourselves, just this player, the venue-?"
Sun Zhan said: "There is no problem for the players. We two brothers are both the masters and the deputy. There is also Chen Ji. Although Chen Ji is not good at skills, he is still OK to be a net-viewer. Brother Zhou, you can be a master. The servants we brought from Hongzhou this time can also choose two as a deputy party. The fourth brother is a handsome man, and the third brother is the ball head. By the way, when will the third brother come back?"
Zhou Xuan played several Cuju games in Hongzhou last time and knew the rules of Cuju. Compared with football in later generations, this Cuju ball head is equivalent to the captain of the football team. He must have comprehensive skills and superb skills, and can play any position on the field. He is equivalent to the forward and is the main scorer for shooting the elf eye; he is the forward and the deputy are the forward and the midfield, organizing offense and defense; the main and deputy court owners are equivalent to the defenders.
Zhou Xuan said: "Mr. The third brother will not be back at the earliest half month. Let me do this ball head first. Can the players be found? Where is the stadium?"
Sun Sheng said: "I heard from Mr. The Fourth, there is an idle mansion in Xiangluanfang, with a polo court and a Cuju venue. It was the Marquis' Mansion given to you by the emperor. Why did Brother Zhou refuse? That's so ready-made, you can start practicing by moving it over."
Zhou Xuan glanced at Siqi and smiled and said, "Fourth, you still think about that mansion. That's Huangfu Jixun's. He doesn't live there, and no one dares to live there. That guy has the military power in Jinling."
The four cynics said: "The master doesn't seem to be a person who is afraid of trouble."
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Last time was Huangfu Jixun at the cockfighting hall. Is it almost time?"
It seems that in order to prove that Marquis Zhou is wise and wise, the servant of the mansion brought a manager to deliver the invitation. It was General Huangfu Jixun who sent Zhou Xuan to the banquet.
The four fools stared at Zhou Xuan in a daze. This is too amazing. Will the master predict the future?
Zhou Xuan said to the Huangfu family manager: "Reply to your master, I will go to the banquet on time - Lai Fu and give me a reward."
The Huangfu family manager got the silver reward of ten taels of silver and went back with a smile on his face.
The Sun brothers were shocked and said, "Brother Zhou is a magical calculation. Could it be that Brother Zhou has learned the art of Yao hexagram? Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng?"
Zhou Xuan smiled but did not answer and asked, "If Huangfu Jixun wants to give me that mansion, do you think I'll accept it or not?"
The Sun brothers and Sichi said in unison: "Of course we have to accept it."
The Sichi said, "That was originally given to you by the emperor, why do you need him to give it to me? This favor is wronged."
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, if he sends me, I will take it away. The fourth brother, wait for you to accompany me later. You are my personal guard, and I will leave you for a moment."
The four fools said: "You should protect your master."
Zhou Xuan said: "The third brother is not here, and it is very hard for the fourth brother to work alone. If you have any requirements, just say, I will satisfy you, and it is okay to ask unreasonable requirements."
Sichi shook his head: "No request."
Zhou Xuan laughed and suddenly said, "Fourth brother, you lied to me. Last time I wanted the third brother to pass on my martial arts. You said that the third brother has thirty years of boy skills, but I can't practice it. Now the third brother is not a boy. It seems that he has not seen all his martial arts be useless."
Sichi said: "When practicing, you need a boy, you don't need to practice it."
"Ah!" Zhou Xuan's eyes widened: "There is still such a thing, Brother Fourth, you are fooling me."
The four cynicals laughed and said, "It's enough for the master to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting. You really want to be a versatile talent in civil and military affairs. You can't bear the hardships. I missed back then, I--"
The Four Idiots stopped talking, just said: "It's good to strengthen your body and practice the Five Animal Show."
The third and fourth brothers refused to teach, so Zhou Xuan had to stop the idea of becoming a martial arts master and felt very melancholy.
In the evening, General Wei's Mansion sent another person to invite him, so Zhou Xuan and Si Chi and went on horseback to control mules.
The mansion of General Huangfu Jixun was also in Qingxifang, which was adjacent to Han Xizai's old house. Han's house was desolate, but Huangfu Jixun's mansion was luxurious and magnificent, with maids and servants. Compared with the two, it made people feel a sense of rise and fall. Zhou Xuan didn't understand why Huangfu Jixun wanted to build so many mansions? It was too ostentatious and inevitably was impeached by others, and the new house was just as empty.
Huangfu Jixun welcomed him out of the gate and was very generous in his style. If he was not the King of Jing, Zhou Xuan would be willing to make friends, but he would not be so pure in the court, and it would be difficult to have real friendship if he had intrigue.
Entering the hall, the host and the host sit down, the maids come and go, and the female musicians are mixed.
Zhou Xuan looked around and saw no other guests, and said with a smile: "General Huangfu, he has come down early. When he heard the general's invitation, he came quickly. The other guests have not arrived yet, right?"
Huangfu Jixun smiled and said, "This time I will invite the Marquis to the Marquis. The Marquis is a new crown in Jinling. How can the young general not make friends first?"
Zhou Xuan laughed: "General Huangfu is really good at joking. Although I am a marquis of the State, I have not seen where the fief is? Where is Yongyetian? I don't even have a place to live. I still live in the Fenghua military residence."
Zhou Xuan was very shameless, afraid that Huangfu Jixun would not mention it, so he took the initiative to say that he was salivating the mansion with a polo stadium and a Cuju stadium.
Huangfu Jixun indeed said, "The day before yesterday, the Zongzheng Temple, did not have two choices for the Marquis of Guanglu Temple? Why don't the Marquis not?"
Zhou Xuan said: "One place is the old master of Han Xiang, who is close to the general. The general also saw it. Can people live in that place be there? It is a paradise for snakes and rats. I like the other place, but when I heard it was a general's house, I immediately thanked and retreated. The general was a famous general, and I respected each other very much, so how dare I offend it."
Seeing that Zhou Xuan said sincerely, Huangfu Jixun said happily: "The Marquis will live there, and the young general will never complain. Tomorrow, the young general will go to Guanglu Temple to explain this matter."
