Chapter Nineteen: The Prime Minister’s Office——Playing With Meat Boys
The next day, I stood in front of Qingcao and my mother, dressed carefully like a scholar, which surprised them.
At first, I thought they were fascinated by my handsomeness, but later, when I looked in the mirror, anyone who was not blind would know that I was not a man. It seems that women disguising themselves as men are not just about their clothes.
So I darkened my face a little bit, and put down my bangs to cover my eyebrows and eyes, so that I looked a little bit more cool. And I was a little bit cooler.
I also brought the white jade dagger that my second brother gave me three years ago and stuffed it into my boots for self-defense. Speaking of white jade daggers, they are really good things. We have not had to buy kitchen knives for three years. At first, I was really reluctant to part with them.
, but I remember that my second brother seemed to have said that the white-headed guy said to just let things go and make the best use of them. That should be fine.
I promised my mother that I would be back before sunset, and walked out. Although my Qinggong can't fly over the three-meter-high wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I can still use it. Akiye Court is the westernmost part of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
.Not far behind is the high wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. There are some piles there.
The wood and stones were probably leftovers from the several courtyards of the Prime Minister's Mansion and were discarded here. They were more than one meter high, and no one would come here usually. I jumped onto the rocks first, and then onto the high wall.
It's very embarrassing that I still can't fly over gracefully, I can only crawl over in a very unsightly way.
I have kept my promise for the past three years and have not left the Prime Minister's Mansion. When I came out at this time, I still felt so unfamiliar. I followed the bustling crowd and walked blindly on the street. Today I came out mainly to familiarize myself with the outside environment, prices, and look for
Business opportunity, easy to scrape together money and run away.
I first went to the prosperous area, thinking that there should be more opportunities there. After asking around, I found out that most of the prosperous areas in Lin'an City are concentrated in this East Street. There are several largest banks, cloth shops, rice shops, restaurants, and inns.
Brothels..., and there are a lot of market snacks scattered in the alleys between each building. There are several streets that can't be seen to the end. The street closest to the Tianhu Lake is especially prosperous. It is said that they are all literati.
A place where dignitaries and dignitaries go.
I was tired from walking and hungry, so I was looking for a teahouse to sit for a while. I saw a group of people gathered in front of me. I didn’t know what they were discussing, so I ran to have a look out of curiosity. I saw a young but fat man.
Dressed in silk as a scholar
The man was holding a paper fan and instigating a group of servants to beat an old man. A woman was being grabbed next to him, crying and calling the old man daddy. There were many people watching, but no one dared to stop him. It was just helpless.
shook his head.
"Stop!" The tough man yelled lazily, and the servants stopped and walked aside.
I saw the muscular man swinging open his fan with a loud sound, smiling and showing his yellowed teeth, which made people lose their appetite. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't look like a prince even though he was wearing a dragon robe. Even the people around the prince didn't look like him.
It's not like that. Just listen to him opening and closing the mouth of the two sausages and saying: "How about it? Beauty, just follow me and go back and be a concubine for me. Wear gold and silver, and your father will have an easier time in the future."
Already."
"Uncle, please spare us." The woman begged in sobs while supporting the old man on the ground.
"I'll spare you, haha. If you come back with me, I'll spare you and take you away!" As he said that, the ruthless man motioned to the servant on the side to arrest him.
I walked to the front, although I didn't want to cause trouble when I came out today, and I was afraid of death and pain. But I just couldn't bear it anymore. How could this person be so unreasonable? He scolded: "Stop. You are robbing a girl in broad daylight.
Do you have any other methods?"
"Yo yo yo. This girl knocked over my inkstone. This inkstone is a treasure, worth hundreds of taels of silver. They can't afford to pay, so selling yourself to me as a concubine as a mortgage will be an advantage for them.
"The tough guy walked up and said confidently.
"That's not the case. It was this uncle who grabbed me first. Then..." the woman explained with a sob.
I thought and knew that the tough guy was specifically looking for an excuse, but I still thought to myself: Damn, it’s a few hundred taels. Three years’ worth of monthly money can’t even make up an inkstone. I wanted to wave my sleeves so much, but it was so hard.
I said proudly, take it. The rest will be thrown at you. But I only have ten taels in my hand now. As soon as I thought about it, I said slowly: "I said Chun'er, your child is still waiting for you at home."
.I said this young man
, Don’t look at this Chun’er who looks quite handsome and is already a mother. She was married to a rich family as a concubine, but she killed her husband in a few days. The fortune teller said that she was a concubine. So she was killed.
I've kicked him out. I said, Master, you are also a scholar who knows how to read and respond to etiquette. The wives and concubines at home must all be beautiful and smart. If Master really doesn't dislike it, it can be regarded as a good deed. I will first..."
A scholar who knows the book and responds to etiquette?! It made me feel sick. I cursed myself secretly, Xiao Xiao or Xiao Shi. You can say such things against your will, bah bah!
The handsome man's face changed after hearing this, and he quickly walked away a few steps away from the woman. He said unwillingly: "Then we can't just let it go."
"Then what do you think you can do to let it go? Look, they don't have any money to compensate you!" Actually, what I want to say is: You are a bastard, you're not done yet.
"Poems and poems." He pointed to a few poems hanging behind him. "If you can compose a poem based on this scene within a few dozen of my words, then do it, otherwise you will come to my house and write for me for the rest of your life."
slave."
After saying this, everyone booed.
"Okay! It's a deal!" I thought: I'm afraid you won't succeed, sister, I was a master at reciting poems back then.
"One, two, three, four..."
My mind was spinning rapidly. When I saw someone standing on a big rock feeding the fish by the lake, I had an idea. I picked up a pen and quickly wrote a poem on the paper.
When he looked up, he saw a man looking at the poem with a clear smile in his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a pair of wise eyes.
I looked at the two father and daughter and motioned for them to leave quickly. They also understood what I meant. I left before the meaty man could react. After seeing them leave, I looked at the meaty man in front of me with his big mouth and said: "
I can go.".
"Master, what are you writing?" The servant on the other side looked over and asked.
He picked up the scroll and read seriously:
"Wo Chun
Lying on the plum trees and smelling the flowers,
The lying branches meet the sky.
The fish smells the water lying on the stone,
The lying stone answers Chunlu. The inscription on the back is to give it to Mr. Chunlu."
Hehehe, I smiled to myself, it's a classic poem in "Three Gates". You're so cooperative, I actually read it out. Someone next to you has already laughed out loud. Before this big stupid donkey can react, do a quick move.
.
"No, I'm stupid, I'm uneducated, I only know how to farm. If you ask me who I am, I'm a big dumb ass." After saying this, there were bursts of laughter behind him, and the arrogant man roared angrily: "Boy
