368 bumpkin(1/2)
He has been in this era for several years, and this is the first time Liu Baiyu has been called sir. This title is usually used to address those who are not famous scholars. Liu Baiyu doesn't know him well, and probably thinks he is a brave warrior.
, those who knew him directly called him a great scholar at that time, or privately thought that he was a thief like Sima Yi. In short, he was not an ordinary person.
Scholar. Liu Baiyu found it very interesting and smiled at the maids. These girls were all thirteen or fourteen years old. Originally, Liu Baiyu was worried that these maids would come over enthusiastically and pull them. How should he respond?
.However, his worries were obviously unnecessary. These maids were very measured and made Liu Baiyu feel very comfortable.
Look at Zheng Zhifeng in the distance, and the several leaders of the Zheng family that I saw yesterday. They are all wearing long robes and standing in front of the Meilou door, waiting there.
Liu Baiyu looked at the clothes on his body and couldn't help but laugh. The shopkeeper Zheng beside him laughed and extended his hand forward to make a gesture of invitation. The environment of this eyebrow building is indeed beautiful, and today is considered a visit.
There were many rules for high-level business talks in the Ming Dynasty, which Liu Baiyu found quite confusing. For example, after Zheng Zhifeng said a few polite words at the door, he never mentioned it again and just asked Liu Baiyu to go ahead, saying that the food and drinks had been prepared long ago.
.
Poor Liu Baiyu has never seen any high-level scenes in modern times. In the Ming Dynasty, he has been leading troops and training. Otherwise, he is a copycat and is stuck in a small place. Today in Meilou, Nanjing, after making sure that he is not in danger, what is next?
The thing is, I just remind myself not to show my timidity. To be honest, this feeling is quite embarrassing.
Walking so quietly is also good for Liu Baiyu. He can carefully look at the scenery on both sides. Although the eyebrow tower is a building, it is actually a large courtyard. The rockeries, flowers and trees in the courtyard are all
The decoration is very ingenious. Even in the early winter world, it is pleasing to the eye and makes people feel comfortable.
When he really walked into the building, Liu Baiyu didn't feel that it was any better than the outside, because the decorations inside were too complicated, although it could be seen that the people who arranged them had put a lot of effort into it. Perhaps such decorations were very good in ancient times.
For the modern Liu Baiyu, his style is somewhat deliberately crafted.
Zheng Zhifeng had a polite face and felt quite proud in his heart. He felt that what he had done had aggravated the Zheng family's attitude towards each other. Older people believed in their intuition more. Liu Baiyu's agency business in Jiangnan and
Those places are indeed coveted, but this old pirate feels that having a good relationship with Liu Baiyu may bring greater benefits in the future. In his opinion, Liu Baiyu was known as a great scholar at that time and a giant of Donglin, so he would definitely have a negative influence on the Donglin Party.
That set of romance is like a fish in water.
It's a pity that his good intentions were completely in vain. At this time, Liu Baiyu only felt cautious and awkward.
The place where they drank was a cubicle. After they sat down, the maids who had prepared it early began to serve appetizers and fruits. Liu Baiyu was just about to talk, but he found that several members of the Zheng family present, whether old or young, were
It looked a little awkward, and Liu Baiyu was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
These Zheng family members are all acting polite at this time. These people may have been big bosses and big pirates in the sea a few months ago, but now they are acting like this here. It is really as awkward as possible.
Awkward. Liu Baiyu didn't know what was going to happen next. He turned around and thought about Shopkeeper Zheng. When he saw Liu Baiyu's questioning eyes, Shopkeeper Zheng whispered excitedly:
"Gu, everyone is coming over soon?"
Aren't we discussing things with your Zheng family? Who is Gu Gu? Could it be that he is a senior member of the Nanjing Ministry of War, but it doesn't look like it, and isn't he usually called "sir"?
The short blunderbuss of this era is not a modern pistol. It can be stuffed in any place. At least it is not a burden for movement. The short blunderbuss on Liu Baiyu's body is already exquisitely crafted, surpassing fifty years of black technology. However, even if it is
In this way, in order to ensure the lethality, it also has to weigh one and a half kilograms, which is very awkward to put on the body. In addition, with the short knife and the short stab and the iron pipe of the fire medium, it is really uncomfortable.
After knowing that the other person's change of schedule was not to his disadvantage, the feeling of heaviness on his body became more and more obvious. It's not that he couldn't support it, but the position of some things needed to be adjusted.
Liu Baiyu quickly got up and confessed, got up and walked out of the house. He was a guest, so the Zheng family would naturally not interfere with his actions, but looking at his expression was quite surprised, which made Liu Baiyu very puzzled.
The internal structure of this eyebrow building is quite complicated and is very different from the architectural layout of the same period. Trying to find a hall room, you can't find it.
Fortunately, Liu Baiyu didn't want to change clothes. He turned a corner and found a recessed partition. He walked directly in and took the fire gun hanging on the left side of his short robe. After checking the fire door, he stuffed it behind him.
.His clothes are covered with canvas bandages and pockets, and weapons can be stuffed into various places according to his needs.
He straightened his waist forward and stuffed the blunderbuss into his back with his arms. While he was doing this, he heard the sound of rings and the footsteps of several people walking from one side of the corridor.
It should be several women, the footsteps were very light, and a middle-aged woman could be heard pleading in a lowered voice:
"My eldest lady, please put on a smiling face. These people spent an extra thousand taels of silver to rent our yard today. The Zheng family is a powerful force in the sea. They have a lot of gold and silver. Don't be petty.
Okay!" A middle-aged woman said in a low voice.
"Mom, it's not that I don't give you face. Today, Brother Liu comes to Jinling and I have to pick him up at noon. Didn't I agree that I won't see guests today?"
For a while, he couldn't find the bandage hanging the gun behind him. Liu Baiyu still maintained his posture and stuffed the gun. Unable to dodge, he saw the people who were talking hurriedly passing by. Even if it was a restaurant, there should be a few waiters greeting him in the corridor, but
This eyebrow building was designed to give people a non-commercial atmosphere, but when Liu Baiyu came out, no one paid attention to him, and no one knew he was here.
Four women. Headed by a woman in her teens, her face was full of anger. Behind her was a middle-aged woman with an apologetic look on her face. The two maids behind were younger and both had their heads lowered.
Head follows closely.
These four women can all be called beauties of later generations, and the leading one is even more stunning. The middle-aged women and the two maids are wearing underskirts and bijia, the usual folk style, but
The pattern, style, and materials are just a lot more sophisticated than usual. But the last three
The ordinaryness of the woman and girl highlights the extraordinaryness of the teenage girl in front of her. The girl has almost no make-up and is wearing a jade-colored long skirt, which is no better than the previous one. Judging from the style, it is definitely not the style of this era.
Liu Baiyu must have seen it in some modern film and television drama.
None of these women thought that there was someone else in this place in the building. Moreover, they were wearing short robes and making such indecent postures. The girl in the lead was about to have a fit if she raised her eyebrows, but everyone knew that they could
The strange man who entered this building must be a guest.
Although her face darkened, she still walked forward quickly. However, the two maids stared at Liu Baiyu with wide eyes in surprise. Finally, they found the bandage. Liu Baiyu inserted the blunderbuss into it and returned it.
I could hear the girl's complaints and the woman's explanation in the corridor:
"Mom, you always say that I don't give you face, but look at what we have here today, vulgar villagers!"
"Oh, please, aunt, just keep your voice down..."
Liu Baiyu laughed out loud at this time. After being nervous for a long time, he was despised in the end, but it felt much more natural. Now he figured out who Gu Gu was. She should be the so-called famous prostitute in Qinhuai.
I don’t know if it’s the girl who just passed by. Speaking of which, Liu Baiyu felt that this girl’s eyebrows and temperament had quite the temperament of a modern girl. She was very open-minded in her behavior and had no restraint.
This is very different from the women of this era. Although the etiquette and customs have been relaxed, the basic rules still restrict all aspects. Even Oda Xiang, who is currently in her hometown, and she has a one-month-old child,
But he is chasing after himself to act coquettishly. That is just naive. Since he is sure that he
After my son inherited the Oda family and followed Liu Baiyu, he should also pay attention. In other words, etiquette and other things have penetrated into the essence, and his words and deeds can reflect this taste, no matter if his mentality is not normal
Kong Lingwen and the innocent Oda Kaori are actually very similar.
But that was not the case with the girl who just passed by. Liu Baiyu felt that only people with few restraints would have such an attitude.
After fixing the fire blunderbuss, I pulled out the short knife, the short spur and the iron pipe of the fire medium, and repositioned them to avoid being inconvenient when standing up or sitting down. Of course, I couldn't not get them at critical moments.
When I returned to the house, I happened to see the middle-aged woman coming out of the house. When she saw Liu Baiyu approaching, she also had a smile on her face and stepped aside to let her pass.
Liu Baiyu nodded, smiled, and passed by. When Liu Baiyu entered the room, the middle-aged woman showed some contempt on her face.
Opening the bead curtain, sure enough, the girl wearing the jade-colored dress was already sitting at the top, right next to her seat. The girl looked up and saw Liu Baiyu coming in. She was also a little surprised, and she immediately understood.
You should be the guest of honor today.
The girl is indeed very beautiful, but Liu Baiyu's attention is not on her now, but on the several leaders of the Zheng family sitting in the seats. Whether it is Zheng Zhifeng or shopkeeper Zheng, they must have been licking blood with the blade of a knife in the past. At this time
But he acted like a scholar, especially the shopkeeper Zheng, who actually flashed a folding fan in his hand, which made Liu Baiyu almost laugh out loud.
While holding back her laughter, she sat on her seat and saw shopkeeper Zheng speaking with a smile and introducing:
"So that Mr. Liu will know that this is the famous Gu Hengbo from Jinling who cares about everyone. This is the dream of countless Jinling literati!"
It stands to reason that on this occasion, Gu Hengbo should stand up and give everyone a blessing, but who would have thought that the women here would also become attentive, and the etiquette was completely reversed.
Liu Baiyu was very calm. He was still thinking about what to talk about next. As a great scholar at that time, since he knew that the other party was a pleasure woman, that was all. He would not stay in Nanjing for long.
Time, and coming to this kind of occasion once is enough. I will never come again in the future, no matter what she does.
Although Gu Hengbo came from a humble background, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when rituals and music collapsed, Nanjing City and the Jiangnan area were already promoting her to the sky. No matter how she behaved, a large number of people applauded her.
And I came up with all kinds of elegant names
Purpose, a teenage girl, no matter how smart she is, can easily become arrogant and arrogant in such an environment. She is also "well-versed in literature and history, good at poetry and painting, and the landscapes she paints are naturally beautiful, especially good at
Painting Orchids, Nanqudi
Unparalleled in beauty and versatile, this is indeed something he can be proud of. Gu Hengbo has hardly encountered any setbacks from birth to now, and naturally he is becoming more and more arrogant.
Gu Hengbo is surrounded by all kinds of men every day, some are richer than others, some are literary and elegant, all of them want to please her or attract her attention.
In her eyes, Liu Baiyu ignored him, his attitude was natural and he was trying to attract her attention. Gu Hengbo sneered in his heart, and just followed the rules and poured wine for everyone on the table with a calm expression. The Zheng family
Everyone was very excited, but they had to act gentle and reserved.
Liu Baiyu thought to himself that these leaders of the Zheng family would probably take off their clothes and pounce on an ordinary woman when they meet an ordinary woman, but they just pretend to be elegant people here. When it was his turn to pour wine for himself, Liu Baiyu said
After taking a look at the girl in front of me, she was indeed very charming.
Welcome and send off every day, even if you are performing arts but not selling yourself, you will develop a kind of style. Sometimes, a woman can be called a beauty only when she has this kind of style. It is really enjoyable to see these.
When Gu Hengbo saw Liu Baiyu's eager eyes, he felt even more determined. He couldn't help but sneer, thinking that the girl would certainly not look good on such boring people.
"Miss Gu, there is something important to discuss here, please stay away for a while!" In Liu Baiyu's view, if such social butterflies get involved in matters between men, trouble will occur if they are not kept in good order.
Although what Liu Baiyu said was a question, his tone was irrefutable. The men in the room were all dumbfounded. Even the two maids serving the drinks were extremely surprised. Such a peerless beauty like Gu Hengbo
Here, in the past, those people would try their best to keep the girl for a while longer. Even though there was no physical pleasure, they could make the beauty smile. The group of people were fascinated. It was the first time they saw someone take the initiative to push her out.
The expression on Gu Hengbo's face froze, the room became extremely quiet, and Liu Baiyu spoke again:
"Girl, I'm extremely sorry. It's just a matter of aduwu [the Buddhist name for money]. Please stay out of it for now!"
Gu Hengbo actually urged her, and Gu Hengbo finally reacted. A blush quickly appeared on her originally indifferent face. It could be seen that she quietly took a few deep breaths and said calmly:
"Then please take your time, gentlemen, to enjoy the wine and dinner. The little girl is waiting in the side hall." This is also the rule of this kind of place. Since the other party has paid money to stay here, according to the rules, even if the girl does not want it, she can
