Chapter 117 Stealing Incense and Jade (1)

Soon, Zhao Xin's thoughts were interrupted. Seeing Zhao Xin and Hu Mao whispering there, the others naturally refused to do it and hurriedly pulled them back. Zhao Xin simply let go of his worries and just laughed and drank with everyone.

As the wine was in full swing, the stubborn boys wanted to have some fun, so someone suggested going to Nulu to find flowers and ask Liu. Before he could finish his talk, Hu Mao kicked away and cursed, "Look at your promising prospects, do you have to go to a place like Nulu that is not of grade? Just wave to wave, there are a lot of women willing to come to him."

This place of the Nvlu is similar to the brothels and prostitutes in later generations, and is a place where prostitutes and escorts sell their lust. However, prostitutes in the Warring States Period were not allowed to be opened privately, and they were all operated in the name of the state. In the past, Duke Huan of Qi was seven cities and 700 female neighbors, and the people of the country missed it. What is said is that Guan Zhong, the virtuous prime minister of the Nvlu during the period of Duke Huan of Qi, opened a Nvlu in the name of Qi, and filled a large number of female slaves and prisoners and relatives into the Nvlu, entrusting men with lustful pleasures. Most of the overnight income obtained was filled into the treasury and considered military funds.

Guan Zhong's move not only eased social conflicts, but also increased a large amount of income to the treasury. So after Qi State, the Nulu incident was followed by various countries and successively opened to collect night capital. Zhao State is naturally no exception. Years of foreign wars have won a large number of young and beautiful Hu women, and the government has devoted them to Nulu, which has achieved a major feature of Zhao State today.

However, most of the affairs of the Nvlu are the source of lust for some common people. Scholars like Hu Mao who came from the family of scholars and officials naturally disdained them.

As soon as Hu Mao finished speaking, a stubborn young man laughed and said, "Take a hug? Mr. Hu, why did I hear that you were rejected by Miss Ran's last time? Why didn't you see her throwing her hug at you?"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, but Zhao Xin looked at Hu Mao in confusion.

Hu Mao was embarrassed, blushed and shouted with a thick neck, "What nonsense? Who said that Ran Min was rejected by me? I obviously looked down on her first."

When Zhao Xinhuo De heard the word "Ran Min", his heart suddenly jumped out of nowhere. He couldn't help but think of the little girl holding a kitten in his arms and looking at her with a vigilant look. Since that time, Zhao Xin has not seen Ran Min again for more than half a year. There was nothing at all, but when it was mentioned by everyone today, he suddenly wanted to see her.

Zhao Xin hurriedly asked the people around him, and then he realized that Hu Mao heard Ran Min's reputation and met Ran Min by chance. He was shocked and loved him, so he asked his father to go to Ran's house to propose marriage for him. Hu Yi was the head of the Zhu Kingdom and the Hu family in the dynasty, so Ran Bian would not agree. However, he was worried that he could not resist his daughter Ran Min, so he asked Hu Mao to go to his house to see his daughter by himself.

Originally, Ran Bing thought that Hu Mao was handsome and gentle. Even if his daughter didn't like him immediately, she would never be disgusted. However, she didn't expect that Hu Mao had just entered for a while and walked out of the room with a red face and was embarrassed. Without even saying a polite word, she hurried into the carriage and left. From then on, she broke down and refused to discuss the marriage proposal.

This matter was humiliated by Hu Maoshi for a great shame and never mentioned anything that happened in the Ran Mansion, and was praised as a laughing stock by a group of stubborn young men. Now, he was brought up again by drinking. Although Hu Mao said beautifully, everyone would not believe it. He was ridiculed with ridicule on his face. Zhao Xinxin was strange and just echoed with a forced smile.

That time, his blind date with Ran Min was limited to the two families and was not revealed. Therefore, after Zhao Xin offended Prince Cheng, Ran Bian refused to mention this matter again. Li was also a proud and arrogant person, so naturally he would not ask for shamelessly, and the matter was left unresolved.

Hu Mao was not like that. He thought that with his own conditions, Ran Min would fall in love at first sight, so when he went to Ran Mansion, he seemed to be determined to win. He had bragged to his brothers early on. As a result, he ended up in a mess and has now become a laughing stock for others.

Originally, if a brother was joking about this, Hu Mao would mostly ignore it and ignore it. But today it was different. Most of the jar of wine was drunk, and Hu Mao was already a little drunk. He could not let go of his weaknesses when he heard people reveal their shortcomings.

After defending her, she saw that no one believed her, and suddenly became angry and stood up, pointing at everyone and said wildly, "Don't believe it. Ran Min looks good, but her figure is dry, she wants to have no breasts, but she has no butts, and it is disgusting to touch her to sleep at night. Who is my Hu Mao? How could I fall in love with this shriveled little girl? She fell in love with this young master at first sight, and was looking for death to marry into my Hu family. Unfortunately, I threw my sleeves and left."

Ran Min is famous for her talent and beauty. She is also born with a cold look like she is frosty and keeps people from thousands of miles away. She has always been the goddess that many young people have fantasized about. At this time, she was insulted by Hu Mao so naturally that someone quit and stood up and shouted, "Who can't speak big words? If you have the ability, you can prove it."

Hu Maomao @ with red neck and stared at him, "How do you say prove it?"

"This is simple. If you can go into the house and say a few words to your brothers, even if you win, I, Shi Dan, kowtow to you immediately and apologize. From now on, you will follow your leader and have no other intentions. But if you are just bragging, hehe, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you toast me and call me Brother Shi, what?"

Hu Mao was unable to ride a tiger, and he was drunk and he was reluctant to retreat. He responded generously on the spot, "Okay, you must knock a little when you kowtow."

"A word is determined?" Shi Dan stretched out his right hand.

"A word is certain!" Hu Mao reached out and shot his palm away.

Everyone left the restaurant in a noisy way, and surrounded Hu Mao and went to Ran Mansion with a swagger. Zhao Xin felt embarrassed, so he found an excuse to leave first, but was held back by Hu Mao and refused to let him go. In desperation, he had to bite the bullet and go with him, thinking in his heart whether he would say hello when he saw Ran Min later.

Zhao Xin was just a little nervous, and although Hu Mao looked like he was not caring, he was very upset in his heart. On the way, he had already awakened most of his drunkenness, and he couldn't help but regret that he had slapped the swollen face and pretended to be fat. Now that he did this, he would definitely not end.

According to Ran Min's temperament, he would definitely stay away from him. In this way, how would he save his face? Could it be that he really toasted Shi Dan and apologized.

Thinking of this, Hu Mao couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. While pretending to talk and laugh with everyone, he quickly turned various thoughts in his heart to resolve the crisis. However, Shi Dan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but worry that Hu Mao was really confident as he said, thinking that if he really kowtowed and admitted his mistake, he would lose face.

Zhao Xin and Hu Mao have been friends for many years and know very well about his personality. How could he not know that he was just using alcohol to make a big head? He also had a sense of watching the excitement in his heart, wanting to see how he ended up.

Suddenly, he felt his arm hurt, and when he turned around, Hu Mao secretly pinched his arm. Seeing Zhao Xinwang coming, he squeezed at him, with a look of praying in his eyes.

Zhao Xinxin knew it well, and guessed that he regretted it and wanted to ask him to help him smooth things over. He couldn't help but feel a little funny. After thinking for a moment, he had already made up his mind and suddenly stopped and shouted: "Oh, it's not good."

The young men looked back at him and asked what happened. Zhao Xin said, "We are going with such a large group of people, and they are drunk again. How could the magistrate of County Ran let us in? I'm afraid that before we even walked in, we could have a big stick beat us out."
