The first time in history

Qian Mingduo used the last bit of flour to make some noodles, picked a few persimmons, boiled them in water, and mixed them with the noodles. These were the most bland noodles he had ever eaten.

"If I don't make money, I'll starve to death." Qian Mingduo stared at the pink flames and thought to himself.

The woman sat up by holding onto the bedpost and said softly, "Can you help me get some papers from the cabinet?"

Qian Mingduo nodded, "Where is it?"

"On the left side of the cabinet, in the middle compartment."

Qian Mingduo opened the cabinet door. In the upper compartment were some papers, which seemed to be for writing. In the lower compartment were several scrolls. In the middle were several stacks of paper cut into palm-sized pieces.

"How many do you need?" Qian Mingduo asked.

"Two will be enough."

"This paper is very soft. What is it used for?" Qian Mingduo handed the paper to the woman.

Her face flushed slightly and she smiled. After Qian Mingduo turned around, she held the bedpost and lowered the outermost curtain of the bed.

Qian Mingduo seemed to know what the two pieces of paper were used for. "He is such a picky person. He must make sure that the toilet paper used by modern people is better."

The open cabinet caught Qian Mingduo's attention. He took down a few pieces of paper from it. The first one was a poem written on it.

Yan Jidao's "Shengchazi":

"The distant mountains have long eyebrows and slender willow waists. When the makeup is done, the spring breeze will blow, and a smile will cost you a fortune."

When I returned to Fengcheng, I told the brothel owner, "I have seen all the flowers in Yingchuan, but none of them are as beautiful as Shishi's."

Qian Mingduo knew this poem, which was written by Yan Jidao to Li Shishi, a famous prostitute in the Northern Song Dynasty. In Yan Jidao's eyes, even if he saw all the flowers in Yingchuan, they could not compare to the beauty of Li Shishi.

The second piece of paper also has a poem

Zhou Bangyan's "A Falling Rope"

"My eyebrows compete with the spring mountains for beauty, yet they are so wrinkled. Don't let your tears drip on the branches, for fear that the flowers will become as thin as people.

The clear and melodious jade flute has been played for a long time, but it is rare to find a soulmate. If you want to know the sorrow of leaning against the railing every day, just ask the willow tree in front of the pavilion. "

Qian Mingduo knew that this poem was also written for Li Shishi. He wondered, "These two poems were written by great figures in the Northern Song Dynasty, and they were both written for Li Shishi."

The third one was also written by Zhou Bangyan:

"Yulan'er: The new makeup is light and the new makeup is light": The new makeup is light and the new makeup is light. Good charm, natural and unique. We know each other well, although we just met, we already know each other well. The smoke from the stove is light and the cloud screen is curved. Half asleep, the fragrance permeates the body. It's a pity that we met, if we still waste our time, our life will not be enough.

It was written to Li Shishi again, which surprised Qian Mingduo. When he saw the fourth one, Qian Mingduo was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

The Slender Gold script is as slender as silk, thin, hard and upright, with obvious pauses at the turning points, revealing its sharpness. It has a unique style and is full of personality and artistic charm.

Qian Mingduo quickly looked at the signature of the poem, which was the monogram of "天下只有". He could not help but sigh.

Song Huizong Zhao Ji also had a story with Li Shishi. It is said that he left the palace in disguise more than once just to drink and have fun with Li Shishi.

"Drunk in the Spring Breeze? Drinking a Little Wine in Front of Others" in Slender Gold Script:

We drink a little wine together in front of people, embrace each other with soft jade by the lamp. Looking back, I embrace you and it feels so good, so painful. I push you gently. I hear your voice tremble, and my face flushes with surprise. I try to indulge you again and again, without any gaps, this time the flavor becomes crazy, moving, moving, arms embrace each other, lips touch each other, tongues play with each other.

"It's so sexy." Qian Mingduo looked at the bed.

There are only three words on the letterhead of this piece of paper: "Shishiyun" signed by Qin Guan, Su Dongpo's favorite disciple:

Her delicate face reflects the moon and the flowers, and her graceful dance and light song move the blue sky. A piece of music spreads far and wide, and the teacher's style and charm are like a fairy.

Qian Mingduo couldn't understand why this woman had so many elegant men, powerful officials and emperors write poems to her.

After opening a scroll, Qian Mingduo's eyes lit up.

The inscription reads: Li Shishi, a remarkable woman in Bian Jing, is unparalleled in beauty and talent, and extremely charming.

The beauty in the painting is like a fairy walking out of the mist of history, so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.

Her face was like a peach blossom in bloom in spring, pink and delicate, her skin was as delicate and moist as white jade, with a faint blush.

The curved eyebrows are like crescent moons, gently embedded in the smooth forehead. The eyes under the eyebrows are like autumn water, clear, bright and full of affection. The glances seem to be able to capture people's hearts.

Her nose is small and straight, her lips are as fresh and rosy as cherries, and her slightly upturned mouth corners carry a faint smile. She has the shyness and innocence of a girl, as well as the charm and style of a mature woman.

Her figure is graceful, as light and soft as a willow branch swaying in the wind. She is dressed in gorgeous clothes with fluttering sleeves, as if she could walk out of the painting at any time.

As the scroll gradually unfolded, Qian Mingduo saw the signature - Hanlin Zhang Zeduan.

How could this be possible? Zhang Zeduan, the painter of Along the River During the Qingming Festival, suddenly had an idea in Qian Mingduo's mind.

There are unofficial historical records that Zhang Zeduan once bribed Li Shishi to ask her to report to Emperor Huizong of Song and let him enter the palace because he wanted to draw a complete picture of the palace.

"Li Shishi..." Qian Mingduo recalled the records about her in the knowledge base:

Li Shishi's father's surname was Wang, and she was surnamed Li because she was later adopted by a prostitute named Li Lao.

Soon after Li Shishi was born, her mother died, and her father Wang Yin raised her alone. When she was four years old, her father was imprisoned and died for a crime, and Li Shishi became an orphan. Afterwards, she was adopted by a prostitute named Li Lao, so she changed her surname to Li.

In order to let her grow up safely, according to the custom at that time, she was sent to a Buddhist temple and was called "Shishi". This is the origin of the name Li Shishi.

As she grew older, Li Shishi showed her outstanding appearance and artistic talent. She was very talented in music, singing and dancing, and had an elegant temperament. As she grew older, she became a well-known figure in the brothels of Bianjing.

She attracted the attention of many scholars and nobles. With her talent and charm, she was very well-known and influential in the social circle at that time.

After meeting Emperor Huizong of Song, Li Shishi's life changed a lot. Emperor Huizong's favor towards her made her more famous, but she was also involved in the complicated relationship between the court and society.

The turbulent situation at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty brought a huge impact on Li Shishi's fate. During the war, there are also records that she chose to live in seclusion.

Qian Mingduo went through all the records he could think of about Li Shishi in his mind. He turned his gaze to the face of the woman in the painting.

Qian Mingduo was relieved. She was Li Shishi, a famous figure in Chinese history and the most famous prostitute.

He quietly put the painting back into the cabinet. Qian Mingduo sat down by the stove, and the aroma of medicine filled the room.

When he found out that his neighbor was Li Shishi, he was shocked and surprised, as if a historical figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

On the one hand, he had long heard of Li Shishi's beauty and legendary stories, and was full of curiosity and excitement, imagining how wonderful it would be to be a neighbor of such a world-famous woman.

On the other hand, he is also well aware of the turbulent situation in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and is worried about the fate of Li Shishi and his own situation in this era. At the same time, he is also full of expectations and uneasiness about the various interactions that may occur with Li Shishi in the future.
