Chapter 117 Stealing Fragrants and Jade 1
Soon Zhao Xin's thinking was interrupted. Seeing Zhao Xin and Hu Mao whispering there, the others naturally refused to do it and quickly continued to pull them back. Zhao Xin simply let go of his worries and only laughed and drank with everyone.
The wine was in full bloom, and a group of stubborn young people wanted to have some fun, so someone proposed to go to the girl to look for flowers and willows. Before he finished speaking, he had been kicked away by Hu Mao and opened his mouth and scolded, "Look at your good-looking. Do you still want to go to a classless place like Nv Lu to find a woman? As long as you wave, there are a lot of women who are willing to send them to your door.
This female land is similar to the brothel brothel in later generations, which is a place for prostitutes to sell their sex. However, prostitutes in the Warring States period were not allowed to be opened privately, and they were all operated in the name of the country. In the past, there were seven cities in the Duke Huan Palace of Qi, and the female Lu was 700, but the Chinese were not. It is said that Guan Zhong, the virtuous prime minister in the period of Duke Huan of Qi, opened a female Lu in the name of the State of Qi, and filled a large number of female slaves and prisoner female family in the female Lu. The man was happy, and most of the night money he received was put into the treasury as military assets.
Guan Zhong's move not only eased social contradictions, but also added a large amount of income to the treasury. Therefore, after the State of Qi, the matter of female Lu was followed by various countries one after another, and it was opened one after another to collect night money. Naturally, the State of Zhao is no exception. After years of foreign war, it has gained a large number of young and beautiful Hu women, and the government has put them into women one after another, which has achieved a major feature of the State of Zhao today.
However, most of the women's affairs are the place where some ordinary people ** are happy. Scholars like Hu Mao, who come from the scholar and doctor's family, naturally disdain to do it.
As soon as Hu Mao's voice fell, a stubborn young man laughed and said, "Is it a hug? Hu Shao, why did I hear that you ate Miss Ran's closed door last time? Why didn't I see her give you a hug?
Everyone laughed when they heard the words, but Zhao Xin looked at Hu Mao with some puzzledness.
Hu Mao was immediately embarrassed and roared with a red face and a rough neck: "What nonsense? Who said that Ran Min closed the door for me? Obviously, I didn't like her first."
Zhao Xinhuo heard the word "Ran Min", and his heart beat for no reason. He couldn't help thinking of the little girl holding a kitten in her arms and looking at him with a vigilant face. Since that meeting, Zhao Xin hasn't seen Ran Min again for more than half a year. Originally, there was nothing. Today, she was mentioned by the crowd, but suddenly wanted to see her.
Zhao Xin hurriedly asked the people around him. Only then did Hu Mao hear Ran Min's talent name. He met Ran Min again by chance. For a moment, he was shocked and had a heart of admiration, so he asked his father to go to Ran's house for him to ask for marriage. Hu Yi is the head of the state pillar and the head of the fox family. How can there be no reason not to agree? But he was worried that he could not resist his daughter Ran Min, so he asked Hu Mao to go home to see his daughter.
Originally, Ran thought that this Hu Mao was handsome and polite. Even if his daughter didn't like it immediately, she would never be disgusted. Unexpectedly, as soon as Hu Mao entered for a while, he came out of the room with a red face and an embarrassed face. He hurriedly got into the carriage and left without even saying a polite word. From then on, he never talked about asking for marriage.
This matter was regarded as a great humiliation by Hu Mao. What happened in Ranfu was also closed and never mentioned, and it was passed down as a joke by a group of stubborn people. Now, with the help of drinking, it has been mentioned again. Although Hu Mao said it beautifully, no one would believe it. It was just a ridicule on his face, but Zhao's confidence was different, so he just echoed a strong smile.
That time, his and Ran Min's blind date was only known between the two families and did not make it public. Therefore, after Zhao Xin offended the prince Cheng, Ran Bian refused to mention this matter. Li was also an arrogant person. Naturally, he would not be shamelessly asking for each other, and this matter was over.
And Hu Mao was not. He thought that with his own conditions, Ran Min would fall in love at first sight, so when he went to Ranfu, he also looked ambitious. He boasted to his brothers long ago. As a result, the disgraced end has now become the laughing stock of others.
Originally, if a brother joked about this matter, most of Hu Mao didn't say anything and ignored it. But today it's different. Most of the jars of wine are in his stomach, and Hu Mao has been a little drunk. Hearing people expose his shortcomings, he can't put it down.
After a while of defense, I saw that no one believed it. Suddenly, Huo stood up in anger and pointed to the crowd and said wildly, "Don't believe it. Ran Min's face looks good, but her figure is dry. She has no breasts, buttocks and no buttocks. She touches and sleeps at night. Who am I? How can I fall in love with this stilled little girl? She fell in love with me at first sight and wanted to marry into my Hu family. Unfortunately, I shook my sleeves and left.
Ran Min is famous in Handan for her talent and beauty, and she looks as cold as frost and refuses people thousands of miles away. She has always been the goddess of the hearts of many people. At this time, he was insulted by Hu Mao. Naturally, some people quit and stood up and shouted, "Who can't talk big? You can prove it if you have the ability."
Hu Mao's thick @ red neck stared; "How do you think you can prove it?"
"This is simple. If you can go into the room and say a few words to Miss Ran to your brothers, even if you win, I will immediately kowtow to you and apologize. From then on, I will never have the same intention. But if you're just bragging, hey hey, I won't embarrass you, as long as you toast me and call me Brother Shi, how about it?"
It's difficult for Hu Mao to get off the tiger. In addition, he was not willing to retreat from the wine. He answered bravely on the spot: "Okay, when you kowtow, you should kowtow a little."
"It's a deal?" Shi Dan stretched out his right hand.
"It's a deal!" Hu Mao stretched out his hand and knocked his palm away.
Everyone left the restaurant in a noisy place and swaggered to Ranfu. Zhao Xin originally felt embarrassed, so he found an excuse to leave first, but he was pulled by Hu Mao and refused to let him go. In desperation, he had no choice but to follow him, thinking about whether to say hello to Ran Min later.
Zhao Xin was just a little nervous, and although Hu Mao looked like he didn't care at all, he was annoyed in his heart. Most of his drunkenness on the way has woken up, and he can't help but regret that he hit his swollen face and pretends to be fat. Now it will definitely not end like this.
According to Ran Min's nature, ten times he will close the door and disappear. In this way, how will he save his face? Is it possible that he really wants to toast and apologize to Shi Shan.
Thinking of this, Hu Mao couldn't help sweating coldly on his forehead. While pretending to talk and laughing with everyone, he quickly turned all kinds of thoughts in his heart to solve the crisis. On the contrary, Shi Dan, who was beside him, saw that he had always been confident. He couldn't help worrying 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 his nature very well. How can he not know that he is just drinking. There is also a lively mentality in my heart, and I want to see how he will end.
Suddenly, I felt a pain in my arm. When I turned my head, Hu Mao secretly pinched his arm. When he saw Zhao Xin looking at him, he squeezed his eyes and there was a look of prayer in his eyes.
Zhao was confident and knew that he regretted and wanted to ask himself to help him round up. He couldn't help feeling a little funny. After a little thought, he was already thinking about it. Suddenly, he stopped and shouted, "Oh, it's not good."
The young people looked back at him one after another and asked what was going on. Zhao Xinzou Zou Mei and said, "We went with such a large group of people with wine. How could the Ran County magistrate let us into the house? I'm afraid we were beaten out before we walked in."
Seeing that Zhao Xin was willing to relieve him, Hu Mao was overjoyed. He quickly patted his head and suddenly agreed, "Yes, why didn't I think of this? If it were usual, the county magistrate of Ran would have been polite to me. Now I'm afraid that the door won't let me in. I'll probably tell my old man, so that I'm going to suffer.
