As Xie Jingchen guessed, the person who invited him to go was the prince of the protector of the country.
The position of the son of Duke Huguo in Nanliang is even worse than that of the son of Duke Chongguo in Daqi.
Duke Huguo and Emperor Nanliang are cousins.
Mrs. Hu Guogong and Queen Nanliang are sisters.
For the son of the protector of the country, he has a cousin who is the emperor of Nanliang, and another cousin who is the prince of Nanliang.
With such an identity, no one dared to say anything in Nanliang.
But Changning Hou Shizi is an exception.
The younger sister of the Marquis of Changning was married to the Prince of Nanliang by the Emperor of Nanliang two years ago.
It's a pity that she died of miscarriage and hemorrhage within half a year of her marriage.
? To Dong Chenglang, the prince of Beining, the prince of Nanliang was his brother-in-law.
General Shi was loyal to the court of Nanliang. Twenty years ago, General Shi died to save the late emperor of Nanliang. The late emperor gave the Shi family an iron coupon of Danshu, precisely because he held a Danshu in his hand Iron coupons, even if Duke Protector wanted to snatch the military power from General Shi.
This time, the food and grass in Nanliang were burned, and a city was lost, which gave the Lord Protector an opportunity.
Although Xie Jingchen did this to help Daqi, so far, it seems that except for General Shi, everyone else is quite satisfied with this matter.
Needless to say, Daqi had severely damaged Nanliang, boosted the morale of the generals, and alleviated the crisis of food shortage.
Dong Chenglang hoped that the grain and grass would be burned, and his uncle, General Shi, would be estranged from the court, so he fell to Zhao Xu.
Duke Huguo even wanted to take advantage of General Shi's military prestige to seize his military power
But Xie Jingchen didn't want to meet the son of the Hu Guogong in Hualou.
Standing in front of the flower building, Xie Jingchen frowned tightly, the feeling of entering the flower building last time was really not good.
Captured his daughter-in-law, and got punched by his brother-in-law.
Seeing him stop, the boy said, "Please."
After Xie Jingchen took two steps forward, he stopped, "I won't go in."
The boy was stunned for a moment, "My family's eldest son is inside."
"I know," Xie Jingchen said.
"But I'm afraid that my daughter-in-law will beat me to death if she finds out that I'm visiting flower houses."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.
Boy, ""
The boy just watched Xie Jingchen walk away.
Although Xie Jingchen didn't go to see his master and he didn't complete the task, he was not angry at all, and even had a little bit of sympathy in his heart.
How can a man not visit flower houses?
It is really rare to be so afraid of guilt.
The boy turned around and entered the flower building.
In the flower building, Yinggeyanyan dances, and the smell of powder is so smoky.
On the second floor, at the best location, the son of the protector of the country is sitting there hugging left and right.
A beauty gave the prince a glass of wine, and he kissed the beauty, which made the beauty shy, "I hate it."
"Do you really hate me that much?" The protector prince laughed.
"The son of the world is really annoying," said the man with a soft voice, his bones softened a little, and he stuffed fruit into his mouth.
The boy stepped forward and called out, "Master."
The Prince Protector glanced at him, "Where is he?"
There was a man sitting next to the prince of the protector of the country, drinking and said, "Isn't it because you don't give face?"
The boy didn't know if it was a disgrace.
Let's say you don't give face, people have no objection to coming to see the son of the world.
Let's save face, they didn't come in after all.
The young man said truthfully, "Knowing that the son of the world invited him, he went out with the little one, but stopped in front of the flower building, saying that he was afraid that if his wife found out about entering the flower building, he would beat him to death. gone¡¡."
Cough cough!
The man choked.
"In the restaurant, he stood up to protect Prince Ninghou. I thought he was fearless, but I didn't expect him to be afraid of himself," the man couldn't believe it.
However, it is rare to be helpful to others.
The woman crooked in the arms of the Duke Protector also smiled, "What can a man afraid of guilt do?"
The Prince Protector held her hand and said, "The fearful man you mentioned saved Changning Marquis three times on the battlefield."
"One of them was rescued by Major General Shangguan Ting of the Great Qi Flying Tiger Army."
The woman took a breath, "So powerful?"
She was a little envious of his wife.
I don't know what kind of woman can make such aThe evil man would not dare to enter the Hualou because he was afraid that she would be angry.
"I don't know if it's a real fear or a prevarication to my son?" The prince of the protector's eyes were dangerous.
The man laughed and said, "Whether it's fear or prevarication, you can tell once you try it. I hope he is smarter and doesn't become our enemy!"
Today I am very interested, I will not move the place just to meet Xie Jingchen.
Leave the temptation until tomorrow.
They were testing Xie Jingchen, and Xie Jingchen was also testing them.
He also wanted to see how much the Prince Protector wanted to win him over with a casual word in the restaurant.
Back at the inn, Xie Jingchen drew a portrait of Aunt Xue, and Yi Rong jumped out of the window.
I found the best place to inquire about news, and asked someone to help me find it.
There are no hidden guards with me, so I have to do everything myself.
The young man collected the money and opened the portrait. First, he was amazed by the beauty of the person in the painting, and then gasped, "Why is it her again?"
again?
Xie Jingchen looked at the boy.
The little guy smiled, "Two months ago, someone also brought a painting and asked us to find someone. It was the girl in this painting, but that painting was not as good as yours."
"This woman is currently living in a courtyard in the south of the city. The courtyard is near the lake and the scenery is extremely beautiful."
Xie Jingchen thanked him, turned around and left. The boy was a little embarrassed to see that he didn't ask for part of the money back.
Because I received two hundred taels.
The little fellow called to Xie Jingchen and said, "Master's money is easy to earn from a small shop. I would like to advise you, the girl in this painting is not something you can imagine."
Xie Jingchen, ""
"Why?" Xie Jingchen said.
"That other courtyard belongs to the present prince."
Aunt Xue belongs to Prince Nanliang.
Xie Jingchen was not surprised by this news, he said, "I don't know if there is another portrait looking for someone in the shop?"
The boy looked embarrassed.
Seeing his expression, Xie Jingchen knew that the portrait really existed, but he couldn't just show it to others.
Xie Jingchen took out a silver ingot from his pocket and put it on the counter, and the boy was able to talk easily, "Guest officer, wait a moment, I'll find it for you."
What a rich master.
I have a portrait of myself, but I actually pay ten taels of silver just to see someone else's painting.
The little guy took half a cup of tea and found the painting.
Xie Jingchen took a few glances.
Sure enough, as he guessed, it was the handwriting of the third master.
When the third master disappeared, Xie Jingchen wondered if he had come to Nanliang.
Aunt Xue used him to steal the defense map, and after the incident was completed, she killed the donkey and crippled him. No one can bear this tone.
Just how can he be the opponent of Prince Nanliang?
I knew the whereabouts of Aunt Xue two months ago, and I don't know if she is still alive at this moment.
Xie Jingchen planned to go to the other courtyard to inquire at night. Although the third master deserved what he deserved, he was a member of the Zhennan Palace after all.
The third master was abolished, and the Zhennan Palace became the laughing stock of the capital.
It's just that things didn't keep up with the plan, Xie Jingchen went back to the inn, and people from the Marquis of Changning came.
Mrs. Marquis of Changning blamed her son for treating his benefactor slowly. When he first came to Kyoto and was unfamiliar with the place, he was wasting time by wandering around by himself when he needed someone to show him the way.
Mrs. Changning Hou sent someone to invite her specially. What Xie Jingchen could do was to move to Changning Hou's mansion.
Xie Jingchen was a little overwhelmed by the hospitality of the Marquis of Changning, so he drank a few glasses of wine on the pretext of being overwhelmed with alcohol, and was helped down to rest by the servant.
Early the next morning, Xie Jingchen excused something left at the inn, and went to the inn to pick it up.
Just arrived at the inn, the servant who invited him yesterday came again, and said familiarly, "Don't worry, my family's eldest son is not in Hualou this time."
