Chapter 169

"I'm not tired."

Xia Dingmao was full of energy. He left Chang'an miserably and miserably, but now he is killed with the gentleman.

The battlefield of the gentleman is in the court, and the battlefield of the old Xia is in these three yards, between banquets and cups. Letting gentleman's guests eat and drink well, and let the reputation of Dunhuang Xuanquan cuisine spread throughout Chang'an with the fragrance of cumin, is what Xia Dingmao wants to do.

Ren Hong was grateful and relieved, and smiled and said, "Mr. Xia will soon be called the number one chef in Chang'an."

He also began the final work of the banquet and said goodbye to the guests who came to say goodbye.

Among them is Xu Guanghan, the lowly old official was able to join the table today. Although others cast a look of surprise and disgust, the Marquis of Xi'an personally toasted him with a cup of wine, which made Lao Xu feel respected again after many years.

"Xu Wengjiayuan, I'll send someone to take you back in person. Lao Han, please help me!"

After all, just moved here and there was not enough manpower. Ren Hong could only use Han Gandang, who was free meals at his house, and stuffed the drunk Xu Guanghan into his arms: "Take Xu Weng home and watch him enter the door, and you must not lose anything!"

Han Gandang was also greedy for alcohol in the military camp, but today he had no common topics with the noble children of Shangguanli, so he was still sober.

But when Han Gandang helped Xu Guanghan walk out, he ran into several uninvited guests at the door.

"You stupid slave, don't have eyes?"

A shout sounded, but a few big slaves came from outside the Xi'an Marquis's Mansion. The leader was a tall middle-aged man wearing official uniform. Although he was handsome, his attitude was very domineering. It was Han Gandang who almost hit him.

"It turns out to be the general's family supervisor, Feng Zidu!"

Yang Yun was also helping Ren Hong to welcome and see him off. Seeing this, he immediately stepped forward to stop Han Gandang, who was about to have an attack, and asked him to do things quickly - Yang Yun was the slutty and the slutty, and there was no one in Shang Guan's house that could not be offended, but he still knew that Feng Zi was deeply favored by the general's wife, and everyone in the house was around.

And his shout, I wondered how many guests who were still addicted to the cup and the fragrant skewers, all of them suddenly became quiet.

Ren Hong couldn't help but be surprised: "The power of the general and his family's servants is what he has?"

He could only walk up and bow down: "I don't know what happened to Feng's Supervisor here?"

Feng Zi looked at Han Gandang who was leaving unhappily, and looked at Ren Hongxiao and said, "Of course, I am here to congratulate the Queen of Xi'an for her relocation."

Ren Hong personally invited the Huo family, but the general was not at home, and the Huo family did not even let him in the inner courtyard. Only Feng Zi came to the door to deal with it, but he did not answer the post.

What the implication is that the general's family is like a swan, how can he reunite with a sparrow?

Now that the banquet is coming to an end, how can this "Honghu" family supervisor come to the door?

Feng Zi was even too lazy to be polite and directly explained the purpose of the trip. It turned out that the taste of roasted mutton from Ren Hong's family was spread along the wind to the Huo Mansion, which was separated by two alleys.

"The general's favorite little girl has been eating badly recently, but after smelling the meat smell of the Xi'an Marquis Mansion, she has an appetite. The lady did not want to disturb the banquet of the noble mansion. Only then did I come and ask the Queen of Xi'an to ask the chef to go over and roast meat for General Huo's little girl."

Ren Hong hesitated a little and glanced at Xia Dingmao, who had been hammered for a while because of his fatigue: "Xia Family Cheng is very tired today, can he be tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow?" Feng Zidu's smile immediately collapsed: "General's little girl, but she hasn't eaten for a day and is starving her. Can the Marquis of Xi'an take responsibility?"

I will take on your mother!

Ren Hong was now thinking of who "Huo Guang's little girl" was in history, OK.

He immediately became angry and said in his heart:

"When the border was besieged by the Huns, the soldiers were so hungry that they ate the meat of the barbarians, but there was also such a noble lady who was picky in food and evil spirits in Chang'an."

"She doesn't have food to eat, is it all to me whether she is hungry?"

"If you starve to death, it will be a great thing for Liu Bingyi and his wife!"

Ren Hong suddenly laughed. He had drunk wine today and was about to use the opportunity to drink to Dumen and Xie Gu, but Xia Dingmao hurried over and stopped Ren Hong from having an attack.

"A gentleman, I'm not tired, I'll just go."

Xia Dingmao knew that once Ren Hong laughed for no reason, he would definitely start to squirt.

But today is a happy day for a housewarming move, so you must not cause trouble.

He then approached Ren Hong and whispered: "Gentleman, it's not easy for us to come back to Chang'an. No one can ignore it, but the general's family must not offend him!"

...

After a while, Xia Dingmao, who had successfully convinced Ren Hong, had already come to the gate of Huo Mansion, but had to undergo layers of investigation.

Ren Hong was going to follow him, but Xia Dingmao felt that what kind of morality would be to be called by the Huo slaves? What's more, the master should be taken care of by the guests at home.

Feng Zi checked what Xia Dingmao brought. After smelling it, he sneezes suddenly.

"What is this?" He was facing a great enemy.

But a few days ago, Xia Dingmao and Ren Hong used cumin spices made from celestial cinnamon, cinnamon and star anise. Today, they used a small half of kebabs and hand-pickled rice, and brought several packs to Huo Mansion.

"It is a spice for roasting, called cumin. It is absolutely not available in Chang'an, only in the Western Regions. A pack is worth thousands of dollars... "In fact, Xia Dingmao is too expensive, and the cost is only three or four hundred. In the future, if a gentleman planted celery near Chang'an, it would be cheaper.

"Thousands of dollars." Feng Zidu sneered: "Which meal between the Madam and the gentleman in Huo Mansion is worth ten thousand yuan... Why are you still standing there? Take it off!"

Xia Dingmao didn't understand and stood blankly at the small door of Huo Guang's mansion, a little stunned.

"This is a rule set by the wife. The scholastic and civilians who want to enter the General's Mansion must be exposed to their physical examinations to prevent the Sang family from remaining party."

Xia Dingmao really had a good understanding: "A gentleman has never heard of this when he entered the palace. Is it more strict to enter the general's mansion than to meet the emperor?"

Feng Zi asked several maids to "help" Xia Dingmao, and Lao Xia quickly waved his hand: "I'll take it off, I'll take it off."

It is late autumn now, and it is getting dark and cold. Xia Dingmao took off all the dandy robes, revealing his body that had been disfigured due to his age. He covered his hands and shivered.

Feng Zi even had to check Xia Dingmao's mouth, armpits, and even the anus.

The Huo family's green servants whispered and even sneered, not knowing what they were saying.

This was the most cowardly moment of Xia Dingmao's life. Even though he was a slave in the past, he met a good master and treated him very well. When he was in Dunhuang County, he relied on his tenacity and was neither humble nor arrogant. The gentleman treated him as his own uncle, and today he was greatly humiliated.

But when I looked up and saw the word "Huo", my anger quickly became angry.

Xia Dingmao spread his hands: "The recipe has to be asked by the Marquis of Xi'an. I am only responsible for roasting it. I don't know at all. If the general wants the recipe, the general's nephew can come forward and ask the Marquis of Xi'an."

Feng Zi was furious after hearing this. He heard what Xia Dingmao meant, which was that if the General's Mansion sincerely requested, the recipe could be negotiated, but if only one family supervisor Feng Zi was sent to get it, the amount would not be enough!

Although Feng Zi is a slave of the Huo family, he relies on the power of the general and is disrespectful to Shangguanli and even the entire Chang'an City? How dare this old minister talk back?

"Tie it up and beat it! You have to ask!"

Xia Dingmao really had a long experience. I still remember when I passed by Maoling, the gentleman was still expecting that there might be a domineering noble slaves who had conflicts with them, etc., but they were spent safely.

Unexpectedly, I entered Shangguanli and thought that there were decent neighbors around me, but I encountered such a thing in the General's Mansion.

The Huo slaves were about to take action, but a shout rang out outside.

"The General is here!"

As if he heard the emperor's edict, everyone knelt down, and his head was deeply buried on the ground and did not dare to lift it up. As the doors of the Huo Mansion opened one after another, a low-stature scholar came over. He walked slowly and steadily every step, and his expression seemed to be thinking about something.

Huo Guang completely ignored what happened in the yard. Seeing that he was about to walk over, Xia Dingmao hurriedly shouted: "Xi'an Hou Jiacheng is not guilty, please spare your life!"

Hearing the three words "Xi'an Hou", Huo Guang stopped and turned his face.

Under the moonlight, it is a face that looks ordinary. Except for the eyes that are a little wide open and have no characteristics, there is no turbulence in the eyes.

"What's the matter?"

Feng Zi wanted to make a fuss, but when he looked up, Huo Guang's eyes swept, he lost the courage. He only knelt on his knees, crawled over like a dog, bowed his head repeatedly, trembling and dared not speak.

The Jiacheng, who had been watching coldly in the yard, came over and whispered softly beside Huo Guang's ear.

"Silly woman!"

Huo Guang's unchanged expression finally had a slight fluctuation.

General Huo was not good at women, was not good at money, and was only interested in power. He served by the violent and ruthless Emperor Xiaowu for more than 20 years and never made any mistakes.

The witchcraft disaster was over, and as a member of the Wei family’s relatives, he was safe and sound, and his holy favor was even better than usual!

This is a miracle in the eyes of all the people in the world.

After taking office, Huo Guang not only took ruthless and straightforward methods, but also took three steps, always laying traps for his political enemies: Sang Hongyang, Shangguan Jie, Gaizhu, King Yan, and Che Qianqiu, and then smiled and watched them step in.

In a few years, all opponents were killed and the world was held in full force. In terms of internal affairs and diplomacy, the world that almost collapsed in the late Xiaowu year was governed steadily, and there were many people who shouted "Duke Zhou is still alive."

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a perfect person without weaknesses.

But only Mrs. Huo Xian is Huo Guang's life gate!

She is the only helpless person in Huo Guang, and always does things that make Huo Guang both annoyed and helpless.

This lady showed that she had sent someone to the palace to lead the family for her granddaughter, Empress Shangguan, and ordered all the palace maids to wear poor silk, and strictly prohibited them from having sex with the emperor, so that the thirteen-year-old Empress Shangguan would be favored only.

Huo Guang was speechless about this.
