"Chen Ziyu, thank you Mr. Wang for saving your life!"
Chen Ziyu pulled Jia'er, and the two of them bowed down. Seeing the sincere gratitude in the eyes of the two people, Liu Ling couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart. No matter what, no matter what the purpose,
Regardless of whether the purpose is good or bad, using this method against two girls is a bit unsightly.
Liu Ling quickly stretched out his hand to help Chen Ziyu up, and said with a smile: "I just happened to be passing by, it was just a little effort. The lady was not frightened, right? There are too many chaotic people in Taiyuan City, and the public security should be properly managed."
Chen Ziyu glanced at Zhao Er and Hua Sanlang who were standing behind Liu Ling, and couldn't help but think bitterly in her heart, how long are you, the cruel Prince Zhong, going to lie to me? But she never thought that she wouldn't
He is also trying to get close to Liu Ling step by step. Isn't he also lying? People are like this. When you lie to others, you will always find many excuses to comfort your own conscience. And when others lie to themselves,
, often gnashing their teeth and wishing to kill the other person with a knife.
Like Chen Ziyu, it's just some obsessive resentment, which is considered a good thing.
"Young Master Wang is so kind to me, I still want to thank you."
After saying that, Chen Ziyu still bowed down. Her body was soft and her posture was very beautiful. Zhao Er couldn't help but swallowed his saliva when he saw it, wondering if the next step would be a drama where he would give her body in return.
Yes? I just don’t know whether the prince needs a guard in front of the window during his bridal chamber...
"Jia'er also thanks Mr. Wang for saving his life. If anything happens in the future, please just give your orders and Jia'er will definitely obey."
Jia'er followed Chen Ziyu and bowed down. The two of them acted like this, which made Liu Ling's guilt deeper. Seeing Jia'er's face with tears still hanging on it, Liu Ling couldn't help but turn around.
He glared at Zhao Er fiercely. This look made Zhao Er feel greatly aggrieved. He said to himself, "My lord, why are you glaring at me? I am not doing this just so that you can embrace this beauty. I hope this beauty will give you more lives in the future."
The descendants of these young princes will be prosperous for eternity, and I, Zhao Er, am also responsible for this...
As he was thinking in his mind, he suddenly noticed that Hanasaburo beside him stretched out his hand to pull him. Zhao Er looked sideways and saw that Hanasaburo nuzzled at him. Zhao Er looked in the direction and saw Xiaonizi Jiaer's beautiful pair of eyes.
Meuzheng kept looking at Hanasaburo's face, and he actually blushed as he looked at it.
Zhao Er suddenly felt sad in his heart, what a shame... I came up with this idea of a hero saving a beauty. Why was it that I was the only one who didn't get anything in the end? Well, I am a gentleman who doesn't take advantage of others' danger, and my moral character is better than that of Hanasaburo.
Extremely.
Suddenly, the way he looked at Hanasaburo became contemptuous...
Liu Ling said: "Miss is frightened, how about Wang being the host and inviting her to Juxian Building for a glass of water and wine to calm down the fright?"
Chen Ziyu's face turned red, and she looked even more charming. She bowed again and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Wang. I was supposed to be the one who invited the young master, but I was so anxious that I didn't bring any money with me today, so I wanted to make the young master spend a lot of money."
Okay. One more thing, from now on, the young master should just call the slave family by their given name. The slave family is a young man who is destined to live in the world of immortals. With his low status, he cannot be called a young lady like the master."
Liu Ling sweated, thinking that the title "Miss" would have no meaning in modern times...
Seeing that Liu Ling was silent, Chen Ziyu thought that he disliked her origin, and her face suddenly became sad. How could she know that Liu Ling was still struggling with the word "miss" in her heart...
Suddenly coming back to his senses and seeing Chen Ziyu's sad expression, Liu Ling suddenly understood: "Miss Ziyu is like a white lotus. She emerges from the mud but is not stained. She touches the clear ripples without being evil. She is straight from the inside to the outside, does not creep or branch, and is fragrant.
It's clear from a distance, and the pavilions are pure and beautiful. You can only watch from a distance but don't play with them. It's an honor for Wang to know Miss Ziyu!"
Liu Ling casually recited a few lines from Zhou Dunyi's "Ai Lian", which made this line come out in advance. If Zhou Dunyi knew about it, I don't know what he would think...
This was the first time for Chen Ziyu to hear such words of praise for people. He just felt that these words spoken by Liu Ling were so comfortable to listen to. Although these words were not gorgeous, the sincere appreciation made Chen Ziyu
Ripples suddenly appeared in Ziyu's heart. She had some purpose in approaching Liu Ling, and at this time, because of these few words, a circle of slight but real ripples appeared in her heart, which was originally as calm as the surface of a lake.
"Cleaning out of the mud but not staining, washing the clear ripples without being evil..."
Chen Ziyu murmured and repeated these two sentences again. She raised her head and swept her beautiful eyes over Liu Ling's clean and handsome face. An inexplicable emotion quietly sprouted in her heart.
Liu Ling didn't know that a few sentences he recited casually had such a great impact on Chen Ziyu's heart. He just thought that this sentence suited Chen Ziyu, but he didn't expect it to have such an effect. In fact, ancient women valued
Because of her reputation, a young woman like Chen Ziyu, who is an artist but not a prostitute, cares more about other people's gossip. Liu Ling praised her as being as clean and beautiful as a lotus emerging from the mud, how could she not be touched in her heart?
During the time that Chen Ziyu has been living in the world of immortality, he has seen a lot of the ugly faces of those prostitutes. Now this is the first time that he has heard someone praise him so much, and it is inevitable that there will be something inexplicable in his heart.
Several people walked all the way towards Juxian Building, which is a century-old store in Taiyuan City with a very famous reputation. Liu Ling came here not long ago, and at that time he secretly discussed some matters with the old prime minister Lu Sen.
Last time I felt heavy, but this time I was obviously much more relaxed.
We found a private room and sat down. Because Liu Ling called himself Wang Lun and was a scholar from a well-off family, and Zhao Er and Huasanlang were both martial arts hired by his family, so Zhao Er and Huasanlang did not shy away from accompanying him and sat down.
Before Jia'er could sit down, there was a gurgling sound in her belly. Her delicate little face blushed, and she stuck out her tongue. Her cute look made everyone burst into laughter, and Chen Ziyu turned pale.
She glanced at her and said, "You are the only one who is shameless!"
Jia'er argued: "Miss, I can't control this stomach growling. I can't make it growl, but there are ways to stop it from growing."
The little girl said crisply: "Master Wang, you are my and my lady's savior, we should be the host of this meal. But my lady is very generous and has donated all the money before. So.
Well, it will cost you nothing this time."
"oh?"
Liu Ling pretended to be surprised and said: "I didn't expect Miss Ziyu to understand justice so well. Wang Mou admires her!"
Chen Ziyu's donation of money was actually for Liu Ling to see. She couldn't help but snicker when she saw that Liu Ling clearly saw her donation and still pretended not to know.
"Although the Nu family and Jia'er are not from Taiyuan, they are also the subjects of our Han Dynasty. The Nu family has also read the books of sages and understands some principles. Although the donation is not much, it is also the Nu family's sincerity."
Jia'er pouted and said, "It's not much, it's the money we saved for two months. I planned to buy a gift for the lady on her birthday next month."
Liu Ling said: "Miss Ziyu makes Wang ashamed. Wang will donate some when we go out soon."
Jia'er smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. My stomach is still growling. I heard that Juxianlou's Lotus Leaf Chicken is extremely good, but I haven't tried it yet."
When Liu Ling heard that she wanted to eat chicken, she suddenly remembered a short joke told by a non-famous crosstalk actor in her previous life. The joke was about someone going to a restaurant to eat because he liked chicken the most, so he asked the waiter
Said: "Miss, do you have chicken here?" The waiter smiled shyly and said shyly: "I am..."
Zhao Er stretched out his hand and touched Huasanlang under the table, then said in Huasanlang's ear: "Did you hear that, your little beauty wants to eat chicken? Why don't you take out the chicken that you have kept for more than 20 years to show your respect?
Go over there?" Hanasaburo didn't say anything, his face remained calm, and he looked serious, but he suddenly raised his foot and stepped on Zhao Er hard, and Zhao Er was so painful that his face turned the color of pig liver.
"Where is Miss Ziyu from? When did you come to Taiyuan?"
Liu Ling asked with a chuckle.
Chen Ziyu replied: "The Nu family is from Qiantang, Zhejiang. Although it is not a wealthy family, it can be regarded as a scholarly family. My father, Chen Bo, is a well-known professor in Qiantang and a teacher in the family of Qiantang Shou Cai. Later.
Because there was a big disaster at home, only Jia'er and I escaped. We fled all the way north and ended up in Taiyuan."
Chen Ziyu had already thought about this rhetoric, and some of it was true or false. She was just a prostitute from a brothel, and Liu Ling was not expected to send people all the way to Qiantang to check her details because of this. Besides,
Qiantang Shouzhen's surname is Cai, and there is indeed a gentleman named Chen Bo in his family, but he has nothing to do with Chen Ziyu.
Jia'er said: "We slept and ate in the open on this journey. If my young lady hadn't been so resourceful, she would have died on the way."
Liu Ling said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Miss Ziyu is also a hard-suffering person. She lives such a hard life and can donate the money she has accumulated to the national use. Wang Mou admires her."
Jia'er said: "That doesn't matter. My young lady has a bodhisattva heart. She will take care of any grievances she sees."
Chen Ziyu smiled and said: "Master, don't listen to Jia'er's nonsense, it's just what you can do."
Liu Ling said: "What a man who can do his best. Even ordinary men don't have the spirit of Miss Ziyu. Come on, Wang, give Miss Ziyu a drink!"
Chen Ziyu thanked him, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Liu Ling put down her glass and asked: "Miss Ziyu, please atone for Wang's offence. It is not good for a girl to live in a brothel if she is an innocent daughter. Wang asked too much, but Ziyu didn't think about it.
Have you ever left the brothel?"
Chen Ziyu was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.
Liu Ling said: "Sorry, it was Wang who was abrupt."
Chen Ziyu sighed and said: "To be fair to you, the slave family is now in control of their own affairs. But fortunately, the stewards in the building are very good to the slave family and have not forced them to do anything. Besides, the slave family is just a weak woman with no body.
I only know some music and poems. If I leave, I don’t know what else I can do to support the two of us."
Liu Ling said: "Wang is just worried. Although I have never been there, I heard that the customers in the brothel vary from good to bad. Some are gentle and some are rude and some are rude. It's better for Miss Ziyu to be careful."
He seemed to suddenly remember something and said: "I also heard that in this brothel there are many wealthy people from the Western Regions who spend a lot of money. It is also said that people from the Western Regions are strong and strong, as strong as lions and tigers. These people sell furs, gold and silver
, they are all very generous. I wonder if Miss Ziyu has ever encountered this?"
After asking, Liu Ling picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then glanced at Chen Ziyu seemingly casually.
Chen Ziyu's expression remained unchanged, but her brows twitched slightly inadvertently. She smiled softly at Liu Ling, seemingly not paying attention to Liu Ling's questions. However, no one noticed that Jia'er suddenly grabbed her under the table.
She held her hands tightly.
"Are you from the Western Region? I have seen one or two of them, but they are not as heroic and generous as the young master described. From the Nu family's point of view, they are not as generous as the officials of our Han Dynasty."
Liu Ling frowned after hearing this, and then asked with a smile: "Wang has never left Taiyuan City. He has never seen the barbarians in the Western Regions. It is said that the barbarians in Xixia are much taller and stronger than us Han people. They are also
I do not know it is true or not."
"Xixia people?"
Chen Ziyu picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "I've never seen the slave family before." (To be continued)
