Chapter 208 [With bad intentions]
Han Mo was in a bad mood when he saw Xiao Mingtang, but he really wanted to know something now. After leaving yesterday, he didn't know if the group of people in Xiao Mingtang were really looking for horse manure to detoxify.
But Xiao Mingtang was standing behind the pillar at the side door and summoned Han Mo. Although it was not close, Han Mo clearly saw that Xiao Mingtang had a smile on his face at this time, and the smile looked very reluctant and stiff.
Han Mo was surprised, but he knew that Xiao Mingtang was not a good bird, so it was not a good thing to let him go. This is the Grand Master's Mansion. He was not familiar with the place, but he was not interested in playing with the boy, so he just pretended that he didn't see it.
Xiao Mingtang gritted his teeth, tidy up his clothes, and walked out of the side door. Master Xiao happened to catch a glimpse, frowned slightly, and shouted: "Mingtang, come here."
Xiao Mingtang was about to come over, and quickly walked to the Grand Master and bowed: "Grandpa!"
Master Xiao said, "This is your Uncle Han and that is your brother. Why don't you go see it quickly?"
Xiao Mingtang filled with smiles and stepped forward to salute Han Xuanchang and said, "My nephew Xiao Mingtang pays homage to Uncle Han." He looked at Han Mo again, and said, "Hello, Brother Han!"
Han Xuanchang stroked his beard and smiled, "Okay, okay. The Grand Master, Mingtang is handsome and has a bright future. He will definitely be the pillar of Yan State in the future."
Master Xiao shook his head and said, "He is naughty by nature and does not want to be ambitious. If he has half of his ability, I will thank God." Speaking of this, a trace of anger really flashed through his eyes. He glanced at Xiao Huaijin next to him. Xiao Huaijin was shocked and said, "It's all the children who are not disciplined strictly, so I'll ask my father to punish him!"
This Xiao Mingtang is indeed Xiao Huaijin's son.
After Han Mo sat in the case, he thought that Xiao Mingtang would look ugly when he heard these words, but today Xiao Mingtang's performance was a big surprise. The boy turned around and said respectfully: "What grandpa said is that grandson is usually naughty and it is the grandson's sin to teach grandpa to worry. I heard that Han Mo and Han Shidi are both civil and military, so grandson wants to get closer to Han Shidi in the future and learn skills!"
When Master Xiao heard this, although he was a little strange about Xiao Mingtang's change in temperament today, he would undoubtedly be very beneficial to the relationship between Xiao Han and the two families. He even hoped that Xiao Mingtang and Han Mo would be more close to each other. In this way, even if the Han family could not be used by the Xiao family, the Han family would not be allowed to walk with the Su family.
"That's right!" Master Xiao's expression was gentler, and there was a smile on his lips, and he said to Han Mo: "Han Mo, you should give me more advice in the future!"
Han Mo stood up and said respectfully: "Han Mo dares not, so he wants to ask Brother Xiao Shi for advice!"
Xiao Mingtang immediately said to Master Xiao: "Grandpa, Han Shidi is here today. I want to take him around the mansion and ask for some questions by the way. I also ask for advice on my grandpa!"
Master Xiao said "Oh" and looked at Han Mo with a smile, with a soft voice: "Han Mo, what do you think?"
Han Mo had already smiled and said, "The magnificent and majestic Taishi Mansion is a scene in Yanjing. If you can enjoy it, it would be a blessing!"
Xiao Mingtang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but pull Han Mo's arm and said, "Okay, since Han Shidi is willing, I'll take you around. There are many beautiful things in our Grand Tutor's Mansion."
Master Xiao coughed, looked at Xiao Mingtang coldly, then stroked his beard and smiled: "Since that's the case, Han Mo, let Mingtang take you around and see. You young people should be together as close as possible."
Han Xuanchang looked at Han Mo, and he naturally knew that on the surface, everyone was in harmony with their guests, but who knew whether the Xiao family would design any conspiracy from it.
The relationship between aristocratic families is originally the wind and rain in the morning, and the positions of alliances and hostility are changing at any time. Sometimes, just a small loophole can take the opportunity to rectify the other party.
So Han Xuanchang gave Han Mo a "careful" look, and Han Mo also smiled slightly.
When Xiao Mingtang saw Han Mo agree, he immediately gave Murong He a color to the seat. Murong He understood it, picked up the wine cup, and drank it all in one go.
...
The Grand Master’s Mansion is indeed very big.
Xiao Mingtang led Han Mo out of the hall, not to mention the unhappiness of both sides before, but he was really like a enthusiastic master. He pointed to some buildings from time to time to time to explain, there was a college and a horse house, the material of the rockery was made from Wei, and the birds were made from Qing, with a smile on their faces. Although there was obvious malicious intention in the smile, Han Mo showed the modesty that a guest should have, listening, but his eyes were observing everywhere. He didn't believe that this kid was really just taking him out to enjoy the scenery.
However, the playboy is a playboy after all. Xiao Mingtang seemed to want to show his unrestrainedness, or to show his aristocratic status. Along the way, he met a maid and maid who squeezed his butt on the edge of his butt, rubbed his chest with a big breast, and smiled proudly on his face.
Han Mo knew that this was a true portrayal of the noble life, and countless nobles enjoyed it and were lewd.
After walking through the courtyard and walking to a vermilion arch, Xiao Mingtang smiled and said, "This is the back garden of our Taishi Mansion. There are many strange flowers, plants and birds, and they are not seen in other parts of Yan State. Even the imperial garden of the palace may not be visible. Director Han, should you go in and take a look?"
"Since I'm here, I always have to see it!" Han Mo smiled.
Xiao Mingtang smiled and looked back. He saw a figure slowly coming towards him. He immediately smiled more happily and said, "Come on, I'll take you in!"
The back garden of the Taishi Mansion is not comparable to that of other officials' mansions. There are rockery trees. Although it is not yet the season for flowering, there is a hint of green in the garden, especially the bamboo forest. After the cold winter, it still stands upright, like hundreds of erect spears, piercing into the sky.
"Director Han, now you are the Director of the West Flower Hall. You have to take care of me if you have something to do in the future!" Xiao Mingtang led Han Mo slowly on the quiet marble path in the garden.
Han Mo smiled faintly, glanced at Xiao Mingtang, and said, "Cousin Ming is wrong. You should be what I say!"
"oh?"
"The Taishi is highly respected. Your Xiao family is also the number one family in my Yan State. My cousin Ming is the grandson of the Xiao family. There will be a bright future in the future. Han Mo naturally needs cousin Ming to take care of him." Han Mo looked at Xiao Mingtang, and his face showed a very serious look.
This expression and these words made Xiao Mingtang very helpful. He said proudly: "You are saying this." He paused and whispered: "But should Director Han apologize to me?"
Han Mo said calmly: "But I don't know what the apology my cousin Ming said means?"
Xiao Mingtang showed a hint of anger in his eyes and said, "You lied to us that day!"
Han Mo smiled faintly and said, "Such beautiful scenery, why should cousin Ming mention those unhappy things? You have to hear that cousin Ming is a broad-minded person. Could it be that he still remembers the old sesame and bad things?"
Xiao Mingtang raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to say something, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Murong, are you here too? What a coincidence."
Han Mo turned around and indeed saw Murong He with a look of disdain and arrogant look on his face.
Han Mo was very surprised that a genius leader of the guards was so respected by the Xiao family that even the dignified Grand Tutor was treated quite politely to him. Is this person really outstanding? What the Xiao family values is really just his military power?
He naturally knew that it was not a coincidence that Murong He appeared here. Without the permission of the Xiao family, how could Murong He dared to enter and exit the back garden of the Grand Master's Mansion at will?
Han Mo did not deny that Murong He was standing there, exuding the calm aura of a mature man all over his body. From a certain perspective, it is still very lethal to women.
"It turns out that Lord Murong also has the pleasure of visiting the garden!" Han Mo smiled and said, "It's good to have some breath here, which is good for the body."
Murong He stared at Han Mo and suddenly asked, "I heard that Ye Tianmeng, the number one fierce general in Bozhou County, died at your hands?"
Han Mo frowned slightly, Murong He's tone was provocative and suspicious, which made Han Mo very unhappy.
"It's just luck!" Han Mo said lightly.
"Ye Tianmeng has been to Yanjing City, and the officials have also seen him." Murong He said coldly: "It is no exaggeration to be known as the number one general of Bozhou County... You can kill Ye Tianmeng with your hands. I believe that the skill under your hands will not be bad, right?"
Han Mo immediately understood that Murong He was coming to find a job.
He also understood that Xiao Mingtang was trying hard to bring him here, probably because of this. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Mingtang, but saw that Xiao Mingtang had already walked to a rockery, leaning against the rockery, looking at him with a smile, his eyebrows were so damn thief!
