002 scholarly family
Places like the Qinhuai River have given birth to countless romances of talented men and beautiful women. Behind this, there are also countless tragic incidents similar to the "Yangzhou Skinny Horse".
The woman in white appeared on the brothel boat early in the morning. Shen Yichen knew who the woman was without having to guess. However, there were too many stories about the woman from Qinhuai Fireworks. His ability at this moment was already at its limit, and he was unable to do anything more. .
But looking at the other party's appearance, Shen Yichen finally couldn't bear to ask: "Then what can I help you with?"
Hearing Shen Yichen's words, the woman in white stared at him for a few seconds. Finally, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips, and then she bowed slightly and saluted: "You can't help me. I have to thank you for what happened today."
As soon as the woman in white finished speaking, a hatch of the boat was suddenly pushed open, and a woman in colorful clothes walked out of it. Behind her were several strong men in short shirts, who looked like thugs. role.
"Hey, my aunt, the dew is heavy this early in the morning. If you are weak, don't catch a cold standing on the bow of the boat. You'd better go back to the house and rest quickly."
After saying this, the gorgeous woman winked at the people behind her, and soon several strong men in short shirts gathered around the woman in white and made a gesture of invitation.
"knew."
The woman in white responded expressionlessly, and then walked toward the cabin door. When she passed by Shen Yichen, she turned her head slightly and glanced at him, but she didn't say anything this time.
After watching the woman in white walk into the cabin, the gorgeous woman turned her gaze to Shen Yichen, with a professional smile on her face and said: "Young Master, our Qiuyue Fang only opens at noon. If Young Master You are interested in a girl from my family. Come to my mother He later to make sure that the arrangements are clear and Mr. Bao is satisfied."
"How about that girl just now?"
Shen Yichen asked casually, he was not interested in brothels or anything like that right now. The reason why he asked this question was purely because he was curious about the woman in white.
"Young master, you really have a good eye. Our Wan'er is an official girl from a scholarly family. She is good at poetry, good at calligraphy and painting, and can sing about the wind and the moon as well as a scholar. She is good at both sex and art, and she is also a courteous woman."
After praising her, Mother He changed the subject and said: "But Wan'er has just arrived at our Qiuyue Fang not long ago, and she is not very accustomed to the soil and water of the south of the Yangtze River. If the young master wants to be accompanied by a beautiful woman, he may have to wait for some time."
Hearing what the brothel madam said, Shen Yichen was a little surprised, because based on the behavior of the woman in white before, he guessed that the hidden story behind it was probably forcing a good girl into prostitution, but he didn't expect that the identity of a woman from an official family was actually involved. .
You must know that no matter in what era, officials represent the ruling class. No matter how powerful the brothel is, they would not dare to openly attack the women of the official family. However, this is the word of the old bustard family after all. Those who know a little bit about big health care in later generations will know that there are mistakes in it. Most women have a "soul-stirring" identity and story that makes me feel pity after hearing it...
As for whether it is true, it can only be said that whoever believes it is stupid!
"Mother He, you are exaggerating."
Shen Yichen naturally showed an expression of disbelief. The brothel madam was also an expert at talking nonsense to people and ghosts. She was afraid that she wanted to deceive herself into thinking she was a traitor.
Seeing that Shen Yichen didn't believe it, Mother He showed a hint of arrogance on her face.
"Young Master, it seems that you rarely participate in social events such as poetry, wine, singing, and singing. Otherwise, you must know the name of Qinhuai Qiuyue Fang, which is ten miles away. How could you do such an exaggerated and false thing?"
"To be honest, Wan'er is the daughter of Liu Qiu, a former imperial minister. She is a genuine scholarly and official woman. Do you still have any questions, Master?"
He's mother also snorted softly after saying this. On the one hand, it was to show off her Qiu Yuefang's strength, and on the other hand, she was contemptuous of Shen Yichen, a bumpkin.
Liu Qiu’s daughter?
When he heard this name, Shen Yichen was a little surprised. Before time travel, he was engaged in the restoration of cultural relics and specialized in calligraphy, painting and ancient books, so he was familiar with many historical events.
In the eighth year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty, a famous incident of killing Zhongliang happened. That is, Liu Qiu, who was a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, responded to the imperial edict and spoke frankly about the current affairs of the government. The ten suggestions including the Battle of Sichuan are called "Ten Things to Say" in history books.
Originally speaking outspokenly was an easy thing to get into trouble, but Liu Qiu also accused Wang Zhen, the first authoritative eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, of committing atrocities, which was no different from seeking death.
Sure enough, after being alienated, Liu Qiu not only failed to bring down Wang Zhen, but was falsely accused of abusing power for personal gain, was thrown into prison, and was brutally mutilated and died.
But if Shen Yichen remembers correctly, although Liu Qiu died tragically, the whole family was not implicated. The two sons safely retreated to the countryside. After Liu Qiu was rehabilitated, they even successively became Jinshi in high school, participated in politics in Guangdong, and served as inspectors in Yunnan.
As for Liu Qiu's daughter, there is no mention in the history books. Whether or not she has a daughter is a matter of suspense. But according to logic, it is basically impossible to become a prostitute. So what went wrong?
Thinking of this, Shen Yichen was a little confused. His identity as the illegitimate son of Duke Cheng made him feel that it was just nonsense. Now he encountered that the Liu Qiu incident was inconsistent with historical records, which made Shen Yichen even more confused. Confused, I don’t know if I am living in real history, or if the entire history has changed.
well……
Shen Yichen sighed. Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it. As the ancients said: Take it as it comes, take it one step at a time.
"Mother He's Autumn Moon Boat is truly extraordinary. I have no doubts about it, so I resigned first."
After saying that, Shen Yichen bowed his hands and walked down the gangway. The level involved in the Liu Qiu incident was so high that even the cabinet ministers might not be able to handle it, let alone a little shrimp like himself. He really did it. Liu Waner's words: You can't help me.
"Poor scholar."
Looking at Shen Yichen's back after getting off the boat, Mother He spat lightly. She thought that this boy, with his dignified appearance and a decent scholar's gown, would be the young master of some family. But after this conversation, she was simply mistaken. , a poor country bumpkin still wants to eat swan meat from Qiuyue Fang?
