It's just that as the Lantern Festival is approaching, it's not easy to send Qu Lengjun away for a while. After all, nothing urgent happened to the Yuan and Qu families.
Other than that, they could only think of ways to make Qu Lengjun refuse. Fortunately, Huangfuyi really couldn't stand Sang Shunhua and delayed Sang Shunhua's seven years of youth.
With this incident in mind, no woman would like this kind of behavior, and naturally she would not be willing to help Huangfuyi spread the word.
Just when Li Hao had sorted out his thoughts and was about to speak to Qu Lengjun to accuse Huang Fuyi, a scumbag.
Seeing that Li Hao remained silent, Qu Lengjun asked again: "Why don't you speak? What are you thinking about?"
After hearing this, Li Hao took the opportunity to introduce the topic: "Nothing, I just thought of some old things about Dr. Huangfu. I don't know if Dr. Huangfu is looking for his brother for that reason."
Qu Lengjun became curious after hearing this and asked, "Do you know the purpose of Dr. Huangfu's visit? Why did he come here today?"
"Well, it's hard for me to say anything about this. Let's wait and see if my brother will ask you for help." Li Hao's hesitant words made Qu Lengjun even more interested.
Dang Ji asked: "What's the matter? Doctor Huangfu has never had any contact with my family. If you need my help with anything, don't be so secretive and tell me quickly."
After another hesitation, Li Hao replied: "Okay, then I will tell you the cause and consequences of this matter. If my brother asks you for help, you can make your own decision.
It turns out that I heard this when Dr. Huangfu accidentally checked for information after he became his elder brother's wife. "
After speaking, Li Hao first took Qu Lengjun back to his yard, and then told Qu Lengjun a story.
"Doctor Huangfu once had a fiancée who was the daughter of the mountain lord of Bailu Mountain. They fell in love when they were studying together in Bailu Mountain, so they entered into a marriage contract.
It was just that at that time, Emperor Wu was brutally tyrannizing the world, and there were elders in the Huangfu family who opposed Emperor Wu's tyranny, and then the whole family suffered. Of course, Huangfu was not immune to this, and had no choice but to flee away from home.
This journey lasted for seven years. Of course, it was during these seven years that Dr. Huangfu traveled around the mountains and rivers and achieved a great reputation with his talents, but because of this, he was unable to take care of his family.
At this time, it was Dr. Huangfu's fiancée who shouldered the heavy responsibility of taking care of Dr. Huangfu's family without fear of danger and defying all opinions, and waited for Dr. Huangfu's return.
During this process, the fiancée had to face both official persecution and various rumors. The pressure she endured can be imagined, but she still persisted like this for seven years.
After all the hardships finally came to an end and Emperor Wen brought peace to the world, Dr. Huangfu also decided to come back to marry his fiancée, so he sent back a letter and set a date for his return.
For this reason, the fiancée's family held a banquet for guests according to the return date and made full preparations for their daughter's marriage. However, in the end, the fiancée waited all day and night without waiting for the arrival of Dr. Huangfu, which made the fiancée suffer enough humiliation. "
At this point, Li Hao deliberately paused, so that Qu Lengjun could have time to put his feelings into it, and by the way, he stimulated Qu Lengjun's curiosity.
Although Li Hao did not directly identify who this fiancée was, based on Li Hao's identity, he believed that Qu Lengjun could guess it, which would make her more dissatisfied with Huangfuyi.
Sure enough, Qu Lengjun stopped hearing this and immediately said: "A gentleman promises a thousand pieces of gold. Why didn't Dr. Huangfu show up that day? What happened to him and his fiancée in the end?"
As soon as he said this, Qu Lengjun immediately continued: "You said that this fiancée is the daughter of the mountain master of Bailu Mountain. But as far as I know, the current mountain master of Bailu Mountain only has one daughter, and now she is married to a young man. Shang’s third uncle is the wife.”
Seeing that Qu Lengjun had guessed it, Li Hao answered: "It is indeed her. Then the fiancée chose to break off the engagement with Dr. Huangfu, and then married Cheng Zhi, who was studying in Bailu Mountain at the time, that is, Cheng Xiao Lieutenant's third brother.
As for the reason for breaking off the engagement, it seems to have something to do with the delay in returning.
It turns out that when Doctor Huangfu was on the run, a guard who was loyal to him died trying to save him, and then entrusted his daughter to Doctor Huangfu before he died.
Unexpectedly, this orphan girl actually had a secret love for Dr. Huangfu. After learning that Dr. Huangfu planned to go back to marry his fiancée, she chose to threaten him with poison, which made Dr. Huangfu miss his time.
After the fiancée learned about the cause and effect, she chose to break off the engagement, and then she got married to Cheng Zhi.
Of course, there may be some reasons for this that are not humane to outsiders, but I have not been able to find out.
Anyway, after this incident, Dr. Huangfu felt guilty for his fiancée, and he always wanted to make up for something, but he was not accepted.
Now our family has some contacts with the Cheng family, and Cheng Zhi and his wife have returned to the capital. At this time, Dr. Huangfu came to see him, and it was most likely related to this matter. "
Li Hao has said everything he can. As for Huang Fuyi's distaste for Sang Shunhua's mediocre appearance, Li Hao did not mention it. After all, it is difficult to say the source of such a personal evaluation and cannot withstand scrutiny.
But these alone were enough. Anyway, after Qu Lengjun heard this, his anger suddenly rose: "What a heartless and unjust man, his fiancée has worked hard for him for seven years, but he is not as good as a guard daughter. Don't know what he thinks.
According to his approach, when you lead the troops to fight, you will probably have to marry back the daughters of the soldiers who died to protect you one by one. This is simply ridiculous.
And now that the husband and wife are in harmony, why does he have to get involved now? He must disturb the peace of the family.
Not only can we not help with this matter, but you also have to talk to your uncle-in-law later and ask him not to interfere in this matter and not to help the evildoer. "
Seeing Qu Lengjun's attitude, Li Hao knew that the matter was done, and said immediately: "Okay, I will try my best to talk to my brother about this matter, but he is Dr. Huangfu's disciple after all, and sometimes it is difficult to disobey the teacher's orders. There is nothing we can do.
Anyway, let's just be ourselves and let other things take their course. Anyway, brother always has a sense of speed when doing things. "
Qu Lengjun nodded when he heard this. He really didn't care about Yuan Shen's affairs.
However, Qu Lengjun always felt that there was still a blockage in his heart, so he said: "When Dr. Huangfu comes out, you can go and deliver it yourself. I won't go out, so as not to look angry."
"Okay, don't be angry for others. If Dr. Huangfu comes again in the future, I will be the one to see him. What do you think?" Seeing what Qu Lengjun said, Li Hao replied, and then returned to the main hall by himself. .
But when Li Hao came over, Huang Fuyi had already left, and only Yuan Shen was here waiting for Li Hao to come over.
As soon as he saw Li Hao, Yuan Shen asked: "Where is Mrs. Di? I have something to ask her for help."
As soon as Li Hao heard this, he knew that his guess was indeed correct. Huangfuyi came here this time because of Sang Shunhua's affairs. He replied: "Oh, Leng Jun just said that he felt a little unwell, so he should go to bed first." Got off.
Brother, if there is anything you need her help with, you might as well tell me first, and I will inform Lord Leng tomorrow. "
Yuan Shen thought that it would be okay to talk to Li Hao about this matter. After all, if he wanted to ask Qu Lengjun for help, there was no way around Li Hao, so he said, "That's it. Doctor Huangfu has something he wants to pass on to Mrs. Cheng Jiasang, so I would like to ask my wife to help me bring a message."
After hearing this, Li Hao refused directly and said: "I think it may not be possible to do this. How about brother think of another way."
Hearing this, Yuan Shen asked very strangely: "Why is this? It's just a sentence. I often come in and out of the Cheng Mansion, so I just said it by the way."
Li Hao replied: "The matter between Doctor Huangfu and Mrs. Sang is not a secret, do you think we don't know anything?
Brother, if you want to get involved in this muddy water, just find another way. We don't want to get involved, so as not to be thankless. "
Yuan Shen knew Li Hao's temper very well. Since Li Hao didn't want to do it, it would be difficult to persuade him, so he didn't say anything more.
He just planned to go directly to Qu Lengjun to talk. After all, it was Qu Lengjun who could really help, not Li Hao, and in his opinion, Qu Lengjun's character was much easier to persuade than Li Hao.
But what Yuan Shen didn't expect was that after Li Hao's exaggeration, Qu Lengjun's sense of Huangfuyi was extremely bad. No matter how he tried to persuade him, he refused to agree to the matter, forcing Yuan Shen to come again. Think of ways to.
At this time, Cheng Shaoshang came into Yuan Shen's sight. After all, Yuan Shen did not want his mentor's personal affairs to become known to everyone.
Apart from Qu Lengjun, who he can trust and has access to Sang Shunhua, he can only choose someone from the Cheng family.
This candidate must be quite close to Sang Shunhua, but must not talk too much with everyone in the Cheng family. Among the only two girls in the Cheng family's junior generation, Cheng Shaoshang is undoubtedly the best candidate.
However, Yuan Shen had no plan for how to contact Cheng Shaoshang. However, Yuan Shen was not in a hurry. Anyway, Li Hao had contacts with the Cheng family.
Even though Li Hao and his wife are unwilling to help, with this relationship, he can always find opportunities in the future.
In this way, time soon came to the Lantern Festival, and Yuan Shen went to Tianjia Restaurant as usual to participate in the lantern festival and solve puzzles by the way.
This is exactly what Li Hao wanted to complain about. To borrow Cheng Shaoshang's words, Yuan Shen went to participate in guessing activities every Lantern Festival and could guess it every year, and then insisted on going without changing activities. , What a boring person this must be.
Before going out, Yuan Shen still thought about asking Li Hao to go with him. Although Li Hao wanted to see Yuan Shen's hydrangea being thrown back with his own eyes, he decided not to do it after thinking about it.
Anyway, the follow-up will be more lively, and this time is not bad. Especially this year is my first time to celebrate the Lantern Festival in Luoyang, so I might as well go to the Lantern Festival in Luoyang, and I can accompany Qu Lengjun.
After all, although Qu Lengjun had stayed in Luoyang for two years, Li Hao was not here, and Ms. Liang didn't like to go out to join in the fun. Naturally, she couldn't go out alone, so she never went shopping.
So Li Hao refused: "Forget it, I'll go shopping with Leng Jun, you can go out by yourself."
After hearing this, Yuan Shen went straight out without disturbing Li Hao's world.
Li Hao then waited for Qu Lengjun for a while and saw her put on a fancy dress and come out wearing a fur quilt. She looked extremely beautiful.
Then Li Hao stepped forward, took Qu Lengjun's hand, and got into the carriage. He didn't get off the carriage until he got close to the lantern festival venue, and then he saw the crowded scene.
Speaking of the Lantern Festival, it was also a rare time of peace when there was no war in the surrounding areas. Emperor Wen deliberately postponed the curfew for two hours and opened up a long and wide street from Dehuifang to the front of Beigong for his subjects. Lantern viewing entertainment.
You must know that the system of the Han Dynasty was completely different from that of the Song Dynasty. After the night curfew, no one was allowed to walk around the streets without permission, and violators would be punished by the government.
Therefore, this rare lively day naturally attracted many people to go out to watch. The most common things hanging on the buildings on both sides of the street were lanterns and revolving lanterns.
The lantern is made by lighting blazing fireworks directly inside a round lantern frame the size of a hug. The thick lantern frame is wrapped in various dyed sheepskins, including vermilion, green, bright yellow, and blue. Many posters and shops are asking for it tonight. The lights are brilliant and eye-catching. Several huge lanterns will be hung in several strings and hung outside the facade.
Most of the revolving lanterns are cylindrical, with the lamp oil burning inside. When the heat rises, the movable lamp stand outside rotates, and the patterns drawn on the lamp skin slowly float and swim, which is very strange.
Among them, there are pictures of soldiers returning home to be greeted by their wives, naughty children chasing and playing, warriors bending their bows to hunt ferocious beasts, and even fish and birds touching each other.
Li Hao saw that Qu Lengjun liked it, so he ordered people to buy one revolving lantern with different patterns and take it back to his home and hang it up in his home.
Hearing this, Qu Lengjun quickly stopped him and said, "Why did you buy so many? Just buy a few and hang them back to make it more lively."
Li Hao replied: "Our house is so big, just buying a few is not enough. Anyway, our family is not short of money. Since my wife likes to watch, it is natural to buy a complete set."
After hearing this, Qu Lengjun wanted to argue with Li Hao and ask Li Hao to be more frugal, but before he could speak, he seemed to hear someone calling him.
Li Hao also heard the sound. Following the sound, Li Hao saw Cheng Shi's father and daughter, as well as Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong.
Qu Lengjun was very happy to see Cheng Shaoshang coming, so he also went up to greet him, and Li Hao naturally followed him.
This time Cheng Shaoshang wore clothes made of fine Shu brocade, which made him look childish and soft. I felt pity for him. It was so different from before. Qu Lengjun praised him as soon as he saw it, and then put his arms around him. tour.
After greeting each other, Li Hao and Cheng Shi and his son could only follow them and watch their laughter.
Cheng Shi was quite sorry for this. After all, he knew the inseparable feeling between the young couple.
Then he said, "We won't disturb you, otherwise I'll call Young Shang away now."
When Li Hao heard this, he smiled and said: "I didn't expect Leng Jun to hit it off with Shao Shang Jun. Since they were chatting happily, there is no need to dampen their interest. We will just follow behind."
This is also Li Hao's true thought. After all, only by following Cheng Shaoshang can he see the famous scene of Three Eyes for Ten Thousand Years with his own eyes.
