Looking at Zhang Jingxiu, who was dressed in men's clothing, he held the ivory bone folding fan in his delicate hands and started chatting with the acquaintances of the noble gentlemen.
Talk and laughter abound.
But Shen Lie silently took another half step back, pretending to be polite and closing his mouth.
Say nothing.
Become an old monk and enter samadhi.
This was a countermeasure that Shen Lie came up with after a night of hard thinking. Considering his true poetry writing skills, he planned to remain a mute.
After all, if you say less, you will make fewer mistakes; if you say more, you will make more mistakes. If you don't say anything, you will never make mistakes.
Shen Lie's plan was to accompany Zhang Jingxiu for a walk, check in, and then secretly find an excuse to escape, but as a breeze blew by.
Shen Lie sniffed involuntarily, and the strong smell of powder came to his nostrils.
He raised his head and blinked.
He immediately saw through the ranks of the noble gentlemen who were chatting with Zhang Jingxiu that there was also a young woman disguised as a man.
It is said that this woman is very beautiful, with a graceful and petite figure. Although she is only twenty-eight years old, her eyebrows are quite romantic, and she does not look like a woman from a good family.
This woman...
Shen Lie took a few glances out of the corner of his eyes, thinking that this was the kind of expensive brothel woman, maybe a famous prostitute.
Looking at the charming look between this prostitute's brows, her swaying figure, her slender waist, and her picturesque features, she is one of a kind in appearance and figure.
Shen Lie couldn't help but secretly dumbfounded. A famous prostitute of this level could easily be worth hundreds of taels, or even thousands of taels. It was definitely not within the reach of ordinary people.
Look carefully again.
Shen Lie was even more stunned when he realized that among these young masters, there was actually a prostitute who couldn't tell the difference between men and women.
This prostitute...
She is as handsome as a woman, walking as if she has no bones, and is actually quite charming, which opened Shen Lie's horizons.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
"What a loser!"
People from the Ming Dynasty are very good at playing. After all, they are in the top social circle. It is open to both men and women. They must be sleeping together.
"What an evil old society!"
After some pleasantries and saying goodbye to these top dignitaries who didn't know what they were doing, Shen Lie followed Zhang Jingxiu and continued on his way.
Shen Lie couldn't help but be curious and asked softly: "Who are these?"
Zhang Jingxiu stopped and looked around to see if there was no one around. Then he covered his mouth with a folding fan and said softly: "This person is... De Fei's brother-in-law."
Shen Lie was stunned for a moment, and a flash of light flashed through his mind, and he nodded slowly: "Oh... Got it."
He knew who this concubine was. She was the famous Concubine Zheng of the Wanli Dynasty, one of the most beloved concubines of the current Emperor Wanli.
This person turned out to be her brother-in-law. No wonder her life was so corrupt, with famous prostitutes as her companions, and both men and women taking care of her. Even Zhang Jingxiu, the daughter of the first assistant, had to be a bit mean-spirited and submissive.
Speaking of Emperor Wanli and Concubine Zheng...
Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Lie's mind. It can be said that most of the bad things in the Wanli Dynasty were related to Concubine Zheng and the prince she gave birth to.
Not only was this Concubine Zheng De extremely beautiful, but her skills were also very impressive. It can be said that she controlled Emperor Wanli to death throughout her life!
To what extent did Emperor Wanli dote on her? In order to make the prince born to Concubine Zheng the crown prince, Wanli felt as if he had given her blood.
He fought with the Queen Mother, fought with the ministers, fought with the people of the world, and finally ended up not going to court for twenty years.
Of course.
Nowadays, Concubine Zheng has not given birth to a child, she is just a concubine favored by the emperor...
In Shen Lie's thoughts, the two of them passed by elegant literati and poets from time to time, and walked to the lakeside.
At this time, guard Zhang Kui had already led his men and laid out a wool blanket under a big willow tree by the lake in advance. On the blanket were some pastries, fruits, braised food, and even a bottle of fine wine.
We've arrived.
Zhang Jingxiu first sat cross-legged on the wool blanket with an elegant gesture, straightened the lower part of his Confucian clothes, then turned around and smiled: "Sit?"
Shen Lie hurriedly responded: "Hey!"
Following her example, he sat cross-legged, facing the lake, leaning against the willow tree, and basking in the sun. Shen Lie felt so relaxed and happy that he relaxed completely.
Shen Lie now understood that this so-called poetry club was a gathering of celebrities in the capital, where they would go on outings, picnics, meet friends, pick up girls, and show off their talents...
In addition to being elegant and relaxed, there are even famous prostitutes singing ditty to add to the fun, and a babbling tune can be heard not far away.
"It's just like the song of the oriole and the flowers, one step at a time is pitiful. Jie Wu's waist is delicate and soft, graceful and graceful in every possible way, like a weeping willow before the evening breeze."
Listening to this melodious little song, it seems that the fatigue of the past few days has disappeared.
With the arrival of Zhang Jingxiu, he naturally became the focus of the audience, so all kinds of people came over to pay their respects one after another.
Most of these visitors with ordinary status were stopped by Zhang Kui and other guards, but there were also some with high status who could not be stopped.
Zhang Kui had no choice but to let him go and have a chat with Zhang Jingxiu.
It was chaotic and bustling for a while.
Seeing Zhang Jingxiu chatting with others, Shen Liezai was really bored and couldn't help but reach out and pick up a food box from the wool blanket.
The food box is very delicate. When opened, it contains sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Shen Lie couldn't help but swallowed and wondered whether he should eat. After all, Miss Zhang was chatting with friends. It was very impolite to eat at this time.
But……
Firstly, Shen Lie really couldn't get a word in. What could he have in common with these celebrities and noble sons in the capital? Secondly, he was really hungry.
He got up before dawn and forgot to eat. He was already dizzy with hunger. Looking at this delicious sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Shen Lie couldn't help but eat one.
He originally planned to only eat one and forget it, but he couldn't resist the delicious osmanthus cake. After eating one, he wanted to eat the second one.
So the box of sweet-scented osmanthus cake quickly ran out.
But Shen Lie felt even hungrier, so he couldn't help but secretly pick up a food box, opened the box and looked at the beef jerky inside, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
At this time, Zhang Jingxiu had just dealt with an acquaintance. When he turned around, he saw Shen Liezhen grabbing a piece of beef jerky and stuffing it into his mouth.
This picture...
Zhang Jingxiu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but get angry: "Brother Shen!"
Such a rare expression appeared on her pretty face, which made her look particularly charming.
Shen Lie was stunned, and quickly swallowed the beef jerky with great difficulty, and said hurriedly: "Huh?"
The honest look on his face made Zhang Jingxiu burst into laughter and gave him a fierce look: "Aren't you a cook?"
Shen Lie had no choice but to spread his hands and said aggrievedly: "The cook... also has to eat."
Zhang Jing Xiuqi's pretty face turned slightly red. Others went out for outings and outings to enjoy the scenery, talk about poetry with friends, and talk about romantic affairs with beauties.
This guy is so good, he came here to eat!
Is it that the scenery is not beautiful enough or that the girl is not pretty?
But……
Zhang Jingxiu was angry and funny. Seeing Shen Lie's aggrieved and embarrassed look, he felt soft for no reason, so he picked up a bag of braised pork with his delicate hands and stuffed it over.
She also covered her red little mouth with a fan and whispered, "Eat quickly."
Shen Lie quickly took the braised pork and nodded naively: "Hey!"
Then Shen Lie began to lower his head and eat happily.
