Chapter 157：

Eye.

"Huo Buxu, you're deceiving people too much!" Yuan Shen finally regained his senses, and immediately became furious - this is unprecedented in his twenty-seven years of life.

Shao Shang glared at Huo Budo as if looking at a monster: "Don't be crazy!"

Huo Budo was not surprised or angry, and his tone was natural: "This statement is purely from the bottom of my heart, less business, you can think about it again."

"This king thought she had thought about it, and then chose Yuan Shen." The fifth prince smiled and shook his feather fan.

Shao Shang straightened his neck and roared back: "What do you think, I never have to think about it, and I have nothing to think about! What kind of person do you take me, I will immediately retire and marry if you shout You, then why did I find another husband and go directly to the northwest to find you!"

Huo Budoubt said: "You are angry with me, why would you go to me."

"You know it!" Shaoshang shouted loudly.

The fifth prince said softly: "Of course he knows, but he still wants to grab the marriage."

"You, you, you are too ignorant of me, Jiaodong Yuan! You dare to say such nonsense in front of me, you are just... just crazy Extremely absurd!" Yuan Shen's whole body trembled.

"Yuan Langguan." Huo Buzhu said in a sincere tone, "I know you must be very angry at this time, but please rest your anger and listen to me. Shaoshang and you are not good friends. match…"

Yuan Shen felt that none of the noble children in Mandu City would have such a fortuitous encounter, and he has gained a lot of knowledge today. He sneered again and again: "I am not a good match with Shaoshang, but you are a good match with Shaoshang? It's really a big joke! Why didn't you say to the tyrant Sun of Shu, 'You are not unworthy of being an emperor', look See if he surrenders immediately!"

"Actually, I said this in the letter last year, but Gongsun didn't listen." Huo Budo said.

Shao Shang&Yuan Shen:…

"Then the war started." Huo Budo added.

The fifth prince hid behind the feather fan and tried to laugh.

"So what?" Yuan Shen held back his anger, "Could Huohou want to fight me too!"

Huo Budo suddenly smiled: "How could I be like this, now I hope you have a long life before it's too late, otherwise how will I and Shaoshang achieve a marriage."

The fifth prince interjected: "Yuan Shizhong is proficient in the six arts. I have seen him in the martial arts field to participate in the riding and archery training. It is very good. Not squeezed into the carriage in vain.

In the fight, this product is less.

The fifth prince was taken aback: "Why don't you have legs?"

"Because I will tell Your Majesty that it was you who provoked them to fight, and see if His Majesty will break your legs!"

"You are talking nonsense!" The fifth prince slapped the feather fan on his leg and glared at him.

Shao Shang squinted at him: "Yes, the Fifth Highness clearly saw that the three of us had something to say, so he just squeezed into the carriage, and you told Your Majesty that it was just a coincidence, did you read His Majesty's letter?"

The face of the fifth prince changed a few times, and he gritted his teeth: "Okay, you are not benevolent and I am not righteous..." He smiled at Huo Budo, "Eleven Lang, there is something you may wish to do. Don't know yet, I can't watch you in the dark..."

Shaoshang's eyelids twitched and his heart was screaming badly, Yuan Shen still didn't know why, so the fifth prince had already continued, "Eleven, you know, Cheng Shaoshang, she once She asked the East Sea King to marry her?! She asked her eldest brother to marry her!"

Yuan Shen's face sank, wondering how the fifth prince knew about this; Shao Shang groaned in his heart, holding his forehead in his hand.

The fifth prince was proud: "What? Eleven Lang, you didn't expect it! Cheng Shaoshang would actually do such a thing, it's a strange story in the world..."

"And then what?"

"Huh?" The fifth prince was taken aback.

Huo Budo didn't change his face, and patiently asked: "What happened later. Did the King of the East Sea didn't agree, or did he go back on his business?"

The fifth prince was dumbfounded: "Uh, it's the first emperor who didn't agree..."

Huo Budo nodded and stared sideways at the girl.

Don't be afraid of being told by others! Besides, I have already told Shan Jian about this, so don't waste your time, Your Highness..." Having said that, her eyes wandered around with a guilty conscience, and she didn't know what she was afraid of.

"Shao Shang, why do you act like this. As far as I know, you not only dislike the King of the East Sea, but you even have a lot of criticism." Huo Buxuan's expression was calm, and he was not even a bit surprised or annoyed.

Shao Shang snorted, and turned his head away with force: "This matter has nothing to do with you!"

Yuan Shenshi was almost torn down by the girl, but fortunately he supported the car wall in time; he looked helplessly at his fiancée and sighed: "Before, the Queen Mother of Huai'an was not in good health, and said she wanted to watch Shaoshang Only when you get married can you feel at ease; so Shao Shang went to look for a candidate for marriage." After speaking, he still gave the girl a dissatisfied look.

Huo Buxuan hummed: "That's true. Shaoshang sees that the King of the East Sea is gentle, gentle and good-natured, and that he can continue to serve the Queen Mother after marriage, so I propose to him." Although he has never been a young businessman to argue, but he guessed that he was inseparable.

The fifth prince was very dissatisfied with Huo Budo's reaction: "Eleven Lang didn't say a word to her. Although the ancients also had poems in which women took the initiative to express their feelings, women were still more dignified and elegant. good..."

The fifth prince turned a blind eye - in fact, there was a secret between them, and he was sure that Cheng Shaoshang would not dare to say it.

"If you want to blame the young businessman, I should also blame it." Yuan Shen said coldly, "As long as I don't mind, why should the fifth highness be a villain." In fact, this time he did not object to the fifth The prince shook out this matter and said it more despicably. Now he is eager to be disappointed by Cheng Shaoshang.

"You've been beaten by Cheng Shaoshang, how can you blame her!" The fifth prince snorted, "Eleven, do you really have nothing to say?"

Huo Budo turned his head in a trance, as if thinking about something: "…I have something to say." He turned around, "Five Highness, how long has it been since Shaoshang asked you for a kiss?"

With a click, the fifth prince's feather fan fell heavily. The three of them were all shocked, but each was different - Yuan Shen was taken aback by surprise, while Shao Shang and the Fifth Prince were "how did he know, I didn't tell anyone"? !

The fifth prince panicked in his heart and forced a smile: "How do you say this, Eleven is joking... Haha, haha..."

Huo Budo looked at him quietly.

Seeing his fiancée's smirk, it was almost acquiescence, Yuan Shen almost couldn't get up-since he negotiated a marriage with Cheng Shao, his life has been wonderful day by day.

"At first, Shaoshang proposed to the King of the East China Sea, but he probably didn't think about it carefully. The King of the East China Sea only seemed to be friendly on the surface, but in fact he was soft and stubborn, not to mention that after marrying him, there was a lot of trouble. I Guess Shaoshang quickly wanted to understand the joint - fortunately the King of the East Sea rejected her, otherwise she would have to regret it later." Huo Budo said.

"Then how did you guess that she asked the Fifth Highness for a kiss again?" Yuan Shen asked.

Huo Budo glanced at the girl: "She is a person who is brave and indomitable, and will never die just because of a little setback. Since she plans to get married, she must look everywhere. people to marry."

This sounded like a compliment, but Shaoshang didn't dare to laugh, and his eyebrows became more and more pleasing to the eye, and he shrank behind Yuan Shen.

Yuan Shen gritted his teeth secretly, wishing he could pull out this unreliable dead girl, beat him first, then starve for three days, recite Xunzi 50 times and persuade him to learn and copy 100 times Yangxiong Fayan, so that she can know what the sky is high and the earth is thick!

Huo Budo put his hand on the fifth prince's shoulder, his five fingers exerted a little force, and the fifth prince immediately screamed like a porcupine with an arrow: "Ouch ... don't, let go, let go, you won't let go again I'm going to sue my father... oh oh oh, I didn't promise her, I really didn't promise her! She beat me to frighten me and threaten me, I'm stubborn, I didn't promise!"

Huo Budo loosened some fingers, the fifth prince took a breath, and said again: "...I don't know who Cheng Shaoshang is, if I marry her, I don't even know how to live How long... Oh, don't pinch, don't pinch, okay, I have eyes but don't know gold inlaid jade, Cheng Shaoshang once engaged you, you and I grew up together, how can I marry her..."

Spotting Huo Budo and releasing his fingers, the fifth prince immediately picked up the feather fan and tapped the wall of the car with the jade fan handle—he felt that the blood mold was really poured out today, and Huo Budo was really good The play is not for nothing, all the griefs of being repaired when he was young come to his mind, he thinks that after five years, he will forget the danger when he relaxes!

The fifth prince rubbed his shoulders a few times and noticed that the carriage stopped. Let’s go back to the palace on horseback! Goodbye, goodbye everyone, come to my fief when you have time, and tell me to show the friendship of the landlord a little bit, okay, let’s not pass this off… Hey, why don’t you **** support this king…”

In the last half of the sentence, the fifth prince was already outside the car. It seemed that he had fallen head and foot, and the fall was very indecent, and then he yelled at his guard.

The door was closed, and there were only three people left in the car.

Listening to the howls of the fifth prince, Yuan Shen felt relieved, and began to consider whether to hand over the girl behind him to teach Huo Budo a lesson. Shao Shang noticed that his fiance's eyes were not good, and tried to smile: "I'll just say that, it's a joke, who wants to marry him, it's just a joke, no one else heard it anyway..."

Yuan Shen took a deep breath and decided to defend against foreign enemies first and then deal with internal troubles, so he cupped his hands and said: "Huo Hou Mingjian, I know you know a lot about Shaoshang, in this case, you should also know that Shaoshang The marriage with me was decided by her after careful consideration, and it is not a nonsense like the King of the East Sea and the Fifth Prince. What do you think?"

Shao Shang nodded vigorously behind him.

Huo Buxuan frowned and stared at the girl, her dark brown eyes half-dark: "...Sometimes, what Shaoshang says and does are not what she has in mind. willing."

Yuan Shen held back his anger: "Junhou's remarks are a bit arrogant. She doesn't know what Shaoshang wants to do, so is it possible that you know?" Those old schoolboys are arguing!

"You can say the same." Huo Budo said.

Yuan Shen was angry, Shaoshang patted his arm and comforted: "I think he is hysterical, you ignore him."

Yuan Shen sternly said: "The mad words of Junhou are extremely difficult to accept. There is no need to say any more today. Everything ends here, and Shaoshang and I will get off the bus..."

"Everything I said is true." Huo Budo snapped, and he looked at the girl again, "In Tu Gaoshan Royal Garden, there is a kind of cold spring shrimp, which Shao Shang loves very much..."

"Bullshit!" Shao Shang couldn't help interrupting, "I've eaten that kind of shrimp several times, but I don't particularly like it."

Who knows Huo Budoubt firmly: "No, you like it very much."

"Don't I even know what I like to eat?" Shaoshang laughed.

Huo Budo turned to look at Yuan Shen: "The first time Shao Shang ate this kind of cold spring shrimp was when the Empress Dowager Xuan held a banquet in Changqiu Palace. She had nagged 'this shrimp is very delicious, but the mother can't eat it, and even if it touches it occasionally, it will cause a red rash', after that, Shao Shang never asked the chef for this kind of shrimp again."

Shao Shang was not convinced: "That's because I really don't like this kind of shrimp!"

Huo Budo ignored her and continued: "Young merchants say this to everyone, but if Yuan Shizhong looks closely, it is not difficult to find her food habits. Sometimes Zhai is greedy, sometimes Your Majesty gave me a few buckets of live shrimp raised in water - whenever there is this kind of cold spring shrimp on the food table, no matter whether it is boiled, salted, or soaked in sauce... Shao Shang can always use a few more bowls, and even take the shrimp soup to bibimbap ." Speaking of the last half of the sentence, there was a slight pain in his heart.

The inside of the car was silent, Yuan Shen was stunned, and Shao Shang was also a little stunned, he couldn't help but wonder if he was really like this, but... the cold spring shrimp that was distributed to Huo Buzhu's mansion, it seems, indeed , all into his stomach. Uh?

"It's a common thing in the palace if you don't like the food you love, the Lord." Huo Budo continued, "But ordinary people mostly follow two paths. Those who are more scheming, Pretend to be forbearance, but will let others know that she is patient for the sake of her mother, and by the way, she will be able to spread a virtuous name; those who are more kind will endure silently, so I don't mention it at this point - but Shaoshang is different, she tells others and tells herself that she I also don't like to eat this kind of shrimp."

Yuan Shen turned his head to look at his fiancee.

He can understand the girl's deep and obscure kindness and pride. Goodwill is that she does not want to declare the queen mother to 'pity' her forbearance. Pride is that she does not want people to praise her for this reason. .

Huo Budo looked at Shaoshang and said word by word: "As long as it is something she thinks is useless, she will deceive herself into believing it - she is such a silly girl."

Shao Shang avoided his eyes, turned his head and said loudly: "Don't confuse the public, can the hot spring shrimp be the same as a lifelong event - I and Shan Jian will not fall for you!"

Yuan Shen thinks more. At that time, Mrs. Xiao treated her own daughter slowly, and Shao Shang showed no concern more than once, and everyone believed that - so, in fact, the fiancée is not as shown on the surface, "really" does not care?

"I heard that Huohou is taciturn. Today, it can be seen that what the world says may not be true. Although Junhou has established himself as a martial artist, now it seems that his eloquence is better." Yuan Shen said slowly Now, since he was fifteen years old, he has been famous for his erudition in debating the scriptures. In these years, he has come and gone on the scriptures platform and the Shangshu platform, dealing with either the arguing doctoral and Confucian students, or the deep-minded officials and dignitaries.

Now, the initial shock has receded, he packed up his mood and cleaned up his powerful rival, "However, Huohou is so eloquent and eloquent, but there is one thing, how do you know that Shaoshang promised my family's marriage, is it? Self-deception or sincerity? If you want to make your opponent surrender in just a few words, the lord and lord are too big."

Huo Budo looked at Shaoshang again, and said lightly, "If my opponent is really Yuan Shizhong, that's fine." His opponent was never Yuan Shen.

Yuan Shen was puzzled, but Huo Buzhu pulled the wall of the car: "Recently, the DPRK and China have been arguing about the Tianling, I have to go back to discuss matters - the Chengfu is right in front of you, you can walk a mile away , I will not send two more."

Everyone ordered to evict guests, so Yuan Shen and Shaoshang quickly got off the bus.

Standing on the north side of the quiet city square, with the family guards of Yuan Cheng and the two houses standing behind them, watching Huo Budo's black iron carriage go away, Yuan Shen and Shaoshang were speechless for a while.

"This man is really good. He attacked unexpectedly first, panicking what people said, but when the opponent was about to launch a counterattack, he interrupted it neatly, retreated, and would care about it in the future. Just like the so-called one-shot, then decline, three-dip, and so on, the opponent will naturally fall behind!" Yuan Da Gongzi, with his long sleeves and hands behind his back, commented on Huo Budo as if he were commenting on a war.

Yuan Shen firmly said: "Naturally I won't retreat! I used to underestimate the enemy. A few days ago I saw him in depression, and I thought he gave up, but I didn't expect to attack suddenly today. At the time of the engagement, I still thought about how to break up you, how can I back down now!"

"What, what?" Shao Shang didn't believe it, "You actually had this idea!"

Yuan Shen has no shame: "I dare to assure you that when you got married for the first time, Huo Budo must have thought about how to dismantle you and Lou Yao. But there are too many scruples, It's nothing to do." From this point of view, the two of them are on the same road.

"You two really cherish each other!" Shaoshang was speechless.

"Don't be too busy to sneer at me, think about how to deal with Huo Buxuan first, do you really want to change the marriage contract?!"

Shao Shang let out a sigh of relief.

Remembering that Huo Budo had completely mastered the negotiation rhythm just now, Yuan Shen said angrily: "In short, Huo Budo is really hateful!"

Shao Shang sighed: "I told you earlier, this man looks silent, and his mouth is very poisonous! If he wants to kill you alive, he will never leave you alone. Breath! I've eaten him before and I don't know how many times I've lost!"

"You too, why didn't you tell me about the matter with the fifth prince, and I was caught off guard!" Yuan Shenyu looked sullen and began to settle accounts after the autumn.

Shao Shang said helplessly: "At that time, I heard the Fifth Prince rant there, saying, 'The emperor is far away from the emperor, and you can do whatever you want'. After a few words from him, it shouldn't be true!"

Yuan Shen said with a straight face: "How can you make a joke about marriage!"

Find a way!"

"In short, tell me everything in the future, Huo Budo made it clear that he wants to find time to fight in, you and I should work together!"

"What do you think he will do?"

—The two looked at each other, unable to do anything. What Shaoshang thought was that no matter how Huo Budo tried to please and apologize, he would never be shaken; Yuan Shen wondered whether Huo Budo would use his power to suppress others and secretly suppress him, but his Yuan family was not a vegetarian.

The two walked and talked, until they reached the entrance of Chengfu Alley, Shaoshang suddenly remembered something: "Hey, Huo Budo is going to discuss Dutian Ling, are you okay?"

Yuan Shen slapped his forehead: "Cough, he is confused! Tomorrow, His Majesty will hold a grand meeting, I will go to the Da Sikong mansion to discuss the right thing, you..."

"It's alright, alright, you go first, it's all here, I'll go home by myself." Shaoshang waved his hand, "Aren't you going to be ranked third in the future, how can you do with such a bad memory? It's done, let's go, I'm waiting to be the wife of an unknown minister!"

Yuan Shen hurriedly got on the horse brought by the guards, just took a few steps and stopped to look back, only to see his fiancée with her hands on her back, very old and dignified and walked into the alley, he couldn't help but smile smile.

He thought: It is rare for me to like someone in my life, and I can't just offer it with both hands just because the enemy is strong. He didn't want to be like his mentor, Master Huangfu, who regretted half his life, and then went to sing under the wall of others.
