Jiang Kui sighed and said, "You really misunderstood Mother Hu. After Mother Hu came out of Ningxiang Pavilion, she spent all her family wealth and built the Zhenyun Tower here, specifically to take in women with miserable life stories from all over the world. In the court, there have been many treacherous ministers in recent years, and their subordinates have been rampant for many years. Only Mother Hu dared to confront them. The women that the treacherous ministers and their lackeys took a fancy to and tried to take over, as long as they fled to Mother Hu, they would be safe. Although the dignitaries flocked to the Zhenyun Tower and coveted the beauty of the women here, but, you know, this is all A pure and innocent girl."
The sword-browed man and Hao Zhen were both shocked: "What?"
Zhen'er looked at Hao Zhen's shocked expression and said in confusion: "Tian Hao, what's wrong with you? Didn't Aunt Yun tell you all these things when you were a child? Why do you have this expression?"
Hao Zhen came back to his senses: "I... I'm just following the current atmosphere."
Zhen'er tilted her head and looked at Hao Zhen carefully: "You are really getting weirder now."
Hao Zhen didn't answer Zhen'er's words, and his attention was all on Jiang Kui and the others.
Jiang Kui continued, "In this male-dominated society, Mother Hu taught these refugee women how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and taught them how to move between men without being defiled by them. They never sold their art but Mother Hu taught them wit, which made them bewitched by men and willing to spend a lot of money on them. And they used the money they got from the dignitaries to help the victims and support the anti-Jin army. Did you know that a large part of the military funds raised by the army you led before were donated by them? If they reach the age of marriage and want to get married, Mother Hu will help them find a good family and give them a generous dowry so that they can get married in style."
The sword-browed man was dumbfounded, obviously not believing Jiang Kui. Everything Kui said: "This... is this true?"
Jiang Kui said: "Although I, Jiang Kui, am used to laughing and scolding in trivial matters, I can guarantee my personality in this matter. Everything I said is true."
The old man also responded: "Yao Zhang is not false. Jiaxuan really blamed Mother Hu wrongly."
Mother Hu was also shocked and said: "Mr. Jiaxuan, are you the great hero Xin Qiji who led the army to fight against the Jin for many years and proposed the specific plan of strengthening the army and restoring the country, "Ten Essays on Beautiful Plans" and "Nine Proposals" by the Prime Minister?"
The sword-browed man said with shame: "It is because of my incompetence and reckless temperament that I have offended many times. I apologize to Mother Hu and all the girls here. I have been running around for half a lifetime and have not made any contribution to the court and the people. I am really ashamed to be called a hero. "
Mother Hu said: "If it was someone else, even if Mr. Jiang Kui pleaded, I would have asked people to drive him out. Since it was Mr. Jiaxuan who worked hard for our Song Dynasty for half his life, that is naturally another matter. What happened just now is in the past."
Jiang Kui laughed and said: "Mother Hu is really generous."
Mother Hu said: "Why, do you want to ask for wine again?"
Jiang Kui joked: "This Song Dynasty is full of drunkenness and dreams, and people who enjoy extravagance are everywhere. Except for Mother Hu, I really can't think of any pure land, where there are passionate people in the Song Dynasty?"
Mother Hu said: "Don't flatter me, those dignitaries say that my place is a den of money that only recognizes money and not people."
Jiang Kui said: "These are just the prejudices of those vulgar people. In my eyes, this place can be There are heroic women everywhere who have the ambition to help the universe. "
Mother Hu raised her finger and touched Jiang Kui's forehead and said, "You are the only one who can say it." Then she bowed to the two people behind her and said, "Please don't be offended if I ignored you just now."
Jiang Kui said, "Mother Hu, let me introduce these two to you. This is Lu You, a great poet of our dynasty, and this is Liu Yixian, a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes."
Mother Hu sighed, "There are so many famous people and heroes in Zhenyun Tower today, which is really a great honor."
Jiang Kui said, "Then how will Mother Hu thank me?"
Mother Hu said, "Whatever you want, as long as it is not difficult, mother can satisfy you."
Jiang Kui said, "A pot of the best Shaoxing Nv'erhong, three or two dishes of stir-fried dishes, and let Yun Niang dance a song, that's enough. "
Mother Hu knew they were here. Although Jiang Kui looked very relaxed and happy, he actually had something to discuss. She said, "Okay, please come to the back garden. Tianhao, come and serve the gentlemen."
Zhen'er pushed Haozhen excitedly and said, "Tianhao, this is Mother Hu's chance for you to learn from the gentlemen. Hurry up and go."
Haozhen was excited to hear that he could get close to three famous people in history. He climbed up from the side of the boat in a hurry. He was wet all over. In addition to his face full of excitement, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Mother Hu gently patted the back of his head and said, "Silly boy, you are like a drowned chicken all over your body. How can you take care of guests? Hurry up and change into clean clothes for me and serve carefully in the back garden."
Haozhen responded and trotted all the way.
