Chapter two hundred and fifty first appointment
There are 360 professions, and every profession is the top scorer. No matter which profession or profession, he is not an ordinary person. As the best in this profession, Shi Hengbo is known as the number one courtesan in the imperial capital. He has already jumped out of the courtyard and is not under the control of others. The performance was also invited to go there that day. Whether she agrees depends on her mood. Only when she agrees will the courtyard start to promote and create momentum.
Shi Hengbo naturally would not live in the courtyard and had his own private house. This kind of private house is not the kind of private house where famous prostitutes set up their own houses. Shi Hengbo's house is only for living and not for guests. Moreover, Shi Hengbo's house is just like the major guild halls, and is in the inner city and is very quiet on weekdays, so Emperor Tianbao arranged the meeting place here.
After Shi Hengbo left, Li Xuan finished the matter at hand, and then he refined the qi as usual, as usual. It was not until the early morning of the next day that he began to prepare for this "audience".
Li Xuan agreed to go to the appointment, but did not intend to make a big fuss. Li Xuan didn't care whether the Confucian people knew about this, because the whereabouts of Emperor Tianbao must be within the control of the Confucian people. Even whether Emperor Tianbao could leave the deep palace depends on the wishes of the Confucian people. Li Xuan just didn't want rumors that "Mr. Qingping met with the courtesan men in private."
In this kind of thing, Qin Su's ears and ears are always particularly sensitive, and there is no need for Qin Su to take the initiative to investigate, and someone will report to Qin Su. Although Qin Su believes in Li Xuandu, Miss Qin is never generous in such things, nor is she generous in this kind of thing. The reason for this is related to Qin Su's childhood experience. Although Qin Su has now accepted the affairs of her father and Bai Xiushang, her mother's experience has become a thorn in her heart and cannot be completely relieved. Li Xuan doesn't want to cause trouble because of this.
So Li Xuandu transformed the "Yin and Yang Immortal Clothes" in the style of crane cloak into an ordinary Confucian robe, making him look like an ordinary Confucian scholar. Then he let Lu Yanbing accompany him and quietly left the Qizhou Guild Hall. As for the many eyeliners outside, how can he find the whereabouts of a immortal immortal?
Li Xuandu brought Lu Yanbing to appear in a clean alley. Today, Lu Yanbing rarely changed into a woman's outfit, and was very low-key. She stood with Li Xuandu, like an ordinary brother and sister or couple.
Lu Yanbing looked around and said, "This place is not far from Mr. Zhang's mansion. Don't you go and see it? I remember that after my senior brother entered Beijing, he had never returned."
"I won't go." Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "It's a change of things, but it's just a matter of hurting. It's enough to go there and say something bold and powerful. It seems a bit out of place."
Lu Yanbing flattered and said, "Senior brother can see thoroughly."
Li Xuan laughed at it. He didn't see it thoroughly, but he just felt that his mentality was a little old, his body was not weak, his heart was old, and Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh at himself and thought: "Is it because he changed his heart to "Eternal Life Stone"?"
Lu Yanbing didn't know what Li Xuan was thinking, but when he saw that Li Xuan reached out and pressed his chest, he didn't ask anything.
The two of them came out of the alley and walked on the street. Lu Yanbing seemed to be a little uncomfortable when walking because she didn't wear women's clothes for some days. Because she didn't wear a folding fan, her hands had nowhere to put them. She always wanted to do a folding fan opening and closing action, but it was too strange for a woman to turn the folding fan. In the end, Lu Yanbing simply put her hands behind her, which made Li Xuan funny. Thinking of her usual appearance, I wonder which hero would accept this junior sister in the future, or would she plan to die alone.
Lu Yanbing noticed Li Xuandu's gaze and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Li Xuandu answered truthfully: "I am thinking about your lifelong event."
"No wonder everyone says that senior brothers have the style of senior brothers." Lu Yanbing did not have the shy attitude of a young woman and curled her lips, "The senior brothers liked to match others back then."
Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I didn't want to match anyone, I was just a little curious about what kind of person my future brother-in-law would be."
Lu Yanbing thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I hope my husband can achieve the achievements of his senior brother, but he should not be like his senior brother in temperament, nor should he be like his master. It is best to follow me in everything and listen to me."
Li Xuan didn't think it was offensive, but just joked: "In summary, if you are better than you, you have to listen to your words. How can a weak man control a strong man? I can only give you four words, and I think very beautifully."
Lu Yanbing joked, "Maybe someone can't think of it? I'll just get to the top of the sky while crying and shouting, "I won't marry you, and I'll get to the top. At that time, I'll go to Susu to show off and piss her to death. Susu will go home and complain that you are not good and have no future. Then tell you what Bingyan's man is, and you can only sulk."
Li Xuan was imagining the scene depicted by Lu Yanbing and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
If he was still Li Xuandu, a disabled man from the Qingwei Sect, even if he had a wife and had children, he would probably not be able to escape this ruling. He was complained by his wife and looked down upon by his children. He had no choice but to work hard, and he would be depressed for half a lifetime.
Lu Yanbing also knew that he was completely whimsical and laughed.
There is a long alley near the Jiangzhou Guild Hall, called "Swallow Lane", which is derived from an ancient poem: "In the old days, the swallows flew into the homes of ordinary people." This long alley was once the residences of many nobles and nobles. Later, in a major case, many noble families were uprooted, and they became free here and became the place where officials and civilians live together. However, every inch of land is still valuable. Most of the families who can live in this long alley now have some backgrounds.
Shi Hengbo's private house is also located here. It looks ordinary on the outside, but in fact it is winding and secluded, with a unique view of the sky.
Because today we were going to entertain two guests with very special identities, Shi Hengbo asked the servants at home to clean up inside and out, which was even more serious and careful than during the Chinese New Year, and was a busy scene.
At this time, Shi Hengbo was sitting in his boudoir, facing the glass mirror on the dressing table, a little absent-minded.
The mirror is a popular glass mirror at present, and it is expensive, making Shi Hengbo's appearance look very vivid.
Her maid stood behind her and whispered: "Miss, you've been sitting for a long time."
Shi Hengbo said "um" softly, and continued to be trance.
The maid no longer talks.
After a moment, Shi Hengbo suddenly asked, "I was wondering, what kind of person is that Mr. Qingping? What will happen if he meets a noble person?"
Perhaps these big names are too far away, just like for ordinary people, the emperor and the master are not yet terrible, so the maid disagreed: "Those scholars in Confucian robes said that they were ambitions and had great goals, and those rich men in the world said that they... said that they... "
"What did you say about him?" Shi Hengbo became interested. No one who could see her was ordinary people, so there would naturally be followers. These followers deal with the maids, so she was a little curious about what the maids heard.
The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "He looks like a scholar on his face, treats people kindly, humble and politely, but in fact he is cruel and ruthless. If he violates his taboos or goes against him, it will be a little bit of danger. It is said that he has destroyed several sects and killed them without leaving any other children. Even the Dazhen Mansion of Shangqing Mansion was not spared. Many Zhang family members have fallen to the ground! They are just like his father-in-law, so no one dares to provoke him easily. They also say that he must kill people when he comes to the imperial capital this time, it depends on when he takes action."
The smile on Shi Hengbo's face gradually faded away and he asked again: "So what is his taboo?"
The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know this."
Shi Hengbo whispered softly: "If you don't keep these words, the Zhang family, and the Qin family in Liaodong, don't talk nonsense outside, so as not to cause trouble. If it reaches Mr. Qingping's ears..."
The maid whispered, "If it weren't for the lady, how dare I gossip."
At this moment, footsteps came from outside. Except for Shi Hengbo's personal maid, no other servants could enter and exit Shi Hengbo's boudoir at will. People came here without any notice. They could tell if their identity was not found.
Soon, Emperor Tianbao, dressed as a noble man, walked into Shi Hengbo's boudoir. Shi Hengbo had already stood up in front of the dressing table, while the maid retreated with a wink.
Outside the boudoir there is a small courtyard with grape trellis and a stone table and bench below. At this time, two old men were sitting opposite each other. The maid recognized one of them as "Old Bai" who often followed the noble man. Another old man was blind and was holding a snuff bottle, which was a bit strange.
These two are Mr. Bai Lu and Jin Chansou. Although the Confucians believed that Li Xuan would not treat Emperor Tianbao, in order to prevent him, two Confucian hermits were sent to personally protect Emperor Tianbao. This was a treatment that Emperor Tianbao's father and ancestors had never enjoyed before.
In the boudoir, Shi Hengbo helped Emperor Tianbao remove the cloak and asked softly: "Why did the young master come here so early?"
Emperor Tianbao once ordered that as long as he did not reveal his identity, he would be called "Young Master" instead of "Your Majesty".
Emperor Tianbao seemed to be in a good mood today, and replied: "Master Long said that Mr. Qingping is the descendant of King Qi, and King Qi handed over all his foundation to him. I... I can't wait to see him."
Shi Hengbo was stunned.
The position of King Qi was suspended for many years and was equivalent to being deposed. The King of Qi mentioned by Emperor Tianbao was the last King of Qi, the uncle who once recruited three thousand guests. The battle between King of Qi and Emperor Shizong and Emperor Muzong was not a secret matter. Emperor Tianbao was quite impressed by his family. It was thought that it was because of King of Qi that Emperor Tianbao's impression of Li Xuandu changed, so he decided to meet Li Xuandu.
