Dress to be a celebrity

The author has something to say: There are a few things that I didn't explain clearly before, so I will add it today:

1. Miss Huan chose the concubine, and her "I would rather be a concubine of a hero than a wife of a mediocre" is just a common saying, to show her attitude

2. There is a delay in information from Beijing to Fujian. Generally, three months will be given on the way from the capital to Fujian to become an official or to be exiled to Fujian.

It's not that the Huan family will know how Song Shi was in Fujian. He arrived in Fujian on the 24th of the first lunar month, and the Huan family came to retire on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month. Retirement has nothing to do with what he did in Fujian.

3. Washe and Goulan are used in this article in their original meaning, not brothels

Here is the information from Baidu:

In some big cities in the Song Dynasty, there were fixed entertainment venues, which people called Washe.Washe—an urban commercial entertainment area, also called Wazi and Washi.The performance place set up in Washeri is called Gou Lan, also known as Gou Lan, Gou Lan.

The form of the Goulan is a building in the middle, surrounded by layers of chairs. There is a description of the style of Goulan in "Playing with Children·The Banker Doesn't Know Goulan", so I will post the translation:

The door leaf is nailed by wooden strips

I charged two hundred dollars and put it in the door. When I entered, I saw a wooden stand, which was shaped like a slope, and there were layers of ring-shaped seats.Looking up at the stage, it looks like a clock tower, but looking down, you can only see the dark crowd.

The brothels are built in the tiles, but this article does not equate the tiles with the brothels

His beloved... the peerless beauty?

What kind of beloved beauty does he have, why doesn't he know it himself?

Song Shi always had a bad premonition, and said coldly: "Thanks to Mr. Huan's concern. But Song is just an ordinary person, and he can't afford any peerless beauty. You should bring him back to Beijing."

Huan Wen chuckled, but he didn't suddenly call someone in, but bowed to say goodbye, and led them out.

Mr. Song was so angry that his face turned green and his lips turned white. He just said "No", and refused to move his feet.Song Shi secretly patted his father twice, winked and asked the boy to go up to comfort him, and he went out with the Huan family and sent them outside the rear yamen.

Song Shi arched his hands and said, "I still have some things to do, so I'm sorry Song can't send him away. May Mr. Huan return to Beijing safely."

He said goodbye insincerely, and was about to turn around to go back, but Huan Wen stopped him and said loudly: "My dear brother, wait a moment. I have already asked someone to pick up your beloved Li Xingtou. If you don't see him Do you want to go back?"

He gestured behind him, and a servant stepped forward to hand a letter to Song Shi.The curtain of a carriage parked by the side of the Yamen was lifted, and a beautiful woman with heavy make-up stepped down from it.

Song Shi's face tensed instantly, and he waved away the envelope, wishing he could go back to the yamen immediately.

Huan Wen laughed and said, "My lord has a blunt temperament, and I can't see such people in the court of love and moon, so I dare not bring people into the yamen directly. I have already bought both the person and the car. Brother Song Xian wants to take them back to the yamen or find another golden house." You can hide it. Now that you have a beautiful woman you like, the marriage between our two families will be over and we will bid farewell."

In broad daylight, he sent a man to their door, and even reversed cause and effect, making it look like the Huan family divorced because he was taking care of a young boy outside!

Song Shi's anger was stagnant in his chest, but seeing Mr. Huan's old grace and the power of the Minister of Rites, he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor, and calmly said to Huan Wen: "The ancient gentlemen broke up with each other. Evil words. If so, Wuxin will make friends with Your Excellency again."

Turn around and leave.

These two sentences come from Ji Kang's "Letter of Breaking Friendship with Lu Changti". In the article, Lu Changti and Lu Xun are a villain who framed his younger brother.Huan Wen's trip was here to frame him, and he is also a gentleman who cannot open his mouth to curse, so it is very appropriate to break the relationship with these words.

Huan Wen watched his tense back disappear into the gate, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he turned around and said: "Let's go, I've finished the work here, and I have to go to Baoding to get my uncle's document." Go back Tell Yuan Niang that Song Shi is a frivolous child who is a child molester, so she will naturally not have any nostalgia for this marriage.

The steward who came with him pointed to the door of the carriage outside the Yamen and said, "This boy is still outside, what if the Song family doesn't take him back?"

Huan Wen said coldly: "The person who gave the deed to the yamen. No matter how he arranges the child molester in the future, someone will speak for himself."

The steward handed over Li Shaosheng's identity document to the gatekeeper, and the group left Wuping County straight away.The officer held a body deed that was as hot as coals, but he didn't dare to send it in, and he didn't dare not to send it in, so he simply took Li Shaosheng into the back office, and quietly handed the document to the butler Song Juren brought from Beijing.

Song Juren was getting angry, but the housekeeper didn't dare to lead people in. He had ordered someone to clear the yard long ago, so that father and son could talk quietly.

But the yard is quiet, but the house is not quiet.Song Juren dropped a few blue and white teacups and scolded angrily: "They are just bullying your father that I am not a Jinshi, or that our family has no Jinshi! In the same year as Tang, who would dare to bully my son like this..."

Song Shi went up and hugged his father to comfort him for a long time, Song Jucai relaxed a little, looked up at him, and said guiltily: "It's only because your father didn't pass the Jinshi examination, and became this person-jurring officer... the whole yamen, the place Township eunuchs are used to watching people order dishes. Usually, it seems that they are giving gifts to us, or is it because they want me to do things for them, so that they can greedy and exploit the people and occupy the fields? If they don’t like them, they will turn around and threaten them in the blink of an eye intimidate...

"Hmph, if I were a Jinshi, who would dare to bully me? Let me do local affairs, who would dare to obey? You don't have to work hard all day to make friends with gentry, appease the village, and control the yamen... You can study and take exams at home. Last year, he was supposed to win the Juren examination, and this year he will be able to take the Jinshi examination. It doesn’t matter if the Huan family resigned, let’s look for another daughter from the Shangshufu!"

Seeing that his face became more and more ugly as he spoke, Song Shi was really afraid that he would be angry, so he hurriedly poured tea for him to drink, and patted him on the back to comfort him: "I'm not very old. Even better. Father, don't be angry because of that little son of the Huan family. It's not worth it if you get angry? He is a junior and ignorant. Father can only forgive him for Mr. Huan's sake."

For Mr. Huan's sake...

Song Juren sighed heavily, and hugged Song Shi fiercely: "My son must be admitted to Jinshi in the future, and marry an old man's daughter, so that those blind people will regret it!"

Song Shi stroked his back and replied, "don't worry, dad. I'll take the exam. The next year will be the provincial exam. Now that I donate the supervisor, I just don't have to travel thousands of miles back to Beijing for the exam. I'll study here for two years and then go to the entrance examination." Tianxiang test."

How much anger he had had had his father's outburst diluted it, and now he only cared about whether his father would be angry or not.He comforted Mr. Song and told him to go to the Yamen to rest first, while he went to the front to find a medical officer to show his father his pulse.

Just after leaving the courtyard, the steward grabbed him, pointed to a corner outside the courtyard mysteriously and asked, "Third Lord, what should we do about this?"

Which?

Song Shi looked along that hand, only to see a familiar face reappeared in front of him not long after parting.The excitement of being forced into a sweetheart just now was still in his heart, Song Shi subconsciously took two steps back and asked, "Why is he here? Who brought him in?"

Li Shaosheng gave a blessing, and said pitifully: "The slave has been bought and given to the third master. From now on, the honor and disgrace of life and death will be up to the third master."

Song Shi was not moved by him at all, his expression was colder than before, his eyes swept across his face, but he no longer had the focused eyes that seemed to be exploring or savoring something like before.

Li Shaosheng felt it keenly, and asked with lowered eyebrows: "Could it be that the young master sent you the dislike of slaves?"

No, it is because you are no longer in the service industry, and it no longer matches the theme of my thesis, so there is no need to observe your behavior anymore.Song Shi thought coldly, took his body deed, waved at him, and strode towards the front office.

Li Shaosheng followed behind him in small steps, passing through the front hall, watching Song Shi call a servant to find a medical officer to see Mr. Song, and followed him into the household room under the corridor of the main courtyard.

Several book offices hurriedly got up to greet them. Song Shi opened Li Shaosheng's deed of sale and took a look. If he cancels his registration, if he has a good registration, he will directly open an account for him."

Li Shaosheng's heart beat like a drum, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.The book offices in the house were also very surprised, and felt that Xiao Sheren was bewildered by this monster—a child prostitute, he can just be raised in the yard, why should he set up an account?

However, Song Shi was divorced today, and even taught the woman's elder brother to humiliate her outside the yamen, so no one dared to recruit him at this time.Several book offices quickly dug out the yellow book and checked Li Shaosheng's old body deed. Song Shi led the people to the outer anteroom, sat down and asked, "What are your plans for the future? Is it to rely on relatives and friends, and rent land?" Cultivate the land, or borrow some capital to start a small business?"

Li Shaosheng looked at him in surprise, without saying a word.

Song Shi showed a working attitude and asked again patiently: "How old are you this year? Have you ever read a book? Under 16 years old can first eat and live in a nursing home and help take care of the elderly and children. To help you make a living, think about it yourself."

Li Shaosheng was hesitant and sticky, and expressed his determination for a long time that he would serve him for the rest of his life.

Song Shi was in a bad mood today, and when he heard this, his face showed some impatience. He raised his hand to stop him from showing his loyalty, and said, "Brother Li, you are no longer a costume, let alone my servant—my father. It’s the magistrate of Wuping County, and I can’t do things like buying good things for cheap. You don’t have to try to curry favor with me, it’s better to think more about where you will eat and live tomorrow.”

The more indifferent he was, the more Li Shaosheng dared to believe that he really didn't want to use himself as a concubine, and timidly told the truth: "I am friendly with Zhao Xianggong of Xiannan Wenmingfang. If my lord allows, I want to see Zhao first." On the side of my husband, ask him..."

"That's considered to be dependent on relatives and friends." Song Shi nodded: "Can he borrow your house to settle down? Can he provide you with food and clothing? I don't ask about the affairs between you, I only care about your livelihood—you From now on, I will be a beloved person, don't just think about being happy every day, but also think about how to earn food and clothing to support yourself."

From Li Shaosheng's words, it can be heard that the friendship between Zhao Shusheng and him may not be very deep, and it's not like he can defect to him if he wants to.

He didn't speak clearly, he clicked to the end, and asked someone to bring a pen and paper, and asked Li Shaosheng to write a post for Zhao Shusheng.He got up by himself and stood outside, looking at the golden-red glow in the west for a long time, his mind was empty, he didn't want to think about anything, he couldn't think of anything.

This is also very good, if you don't think about it, you won't have trouble.

Song Shi leaned on the porch pillar and stole for a while, waiting for Li Shaosheng to come out to find him.But it was not Li Shaosheng who broke the silence, but the rapid and deep sound of the grievance drum outside the door.

A sound like a knock on people's hearts called him back to the world from the rare state of emptiness.He immediately ordered people to go out to inquire about the matter, and asked the yamen servant to go to the back hall to help the grandfather change his clothes. He was still thinking about Li Shaosheng in his busy schedule, and told him to stay in the household room and not to move around.

The gate of the county yamen was opened, the drumming of grievances stopped, and there was a lot of noise outside the door. He caught a glimpse of some colors in the corridor, but they were all Confucian scholars' attire wrapped in black gauze and green lapels.

Scholars making trouble is not just for fun!In Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, there were examples of students attacking the county government, forcing the county magistrate out of the county, and causing the county magistrate to be dismissed from office!

Song Shi hurriedly adjusted the prison robes on his upper body, strode out of the door, and asked with a commercial smile that he had dealt with the passengers who complained and quit the group: "I don't know what grievances some friends have, but they are here to sound the drum of grievances." ?In the Song Dynasty, I knew a thing or two about the affairs of the county yamen. If a friend has any grievances, just tell me, and I will ask the scribe to record it for you as soon as possible, so as not to delay the case."

He smiled gracefully and sincerely, just like the spring breeze turning into rain, soothing everyone's anxious hearts.When he was working in a travel agency back then, he had dealt with countless tourists who came for refunds and business partners who came to ask for money with his gold-medal service attitude. Now he has practiced in front of the eunuchs and gentry in the two places for several years, and he has become more and more proficient.

The leading scholar originally had a look of grief and indignation, but when he saw his warm smile, a bit of shyness was added to his grief and indignation, which turned into shame and indignation with not so high combat effectiveness.

Song Shi took a closer look at these people, and found that there were acquaintances—several of them were talents he had met at the banquet, as well as the chairman of the local literary society, Shen Shijing and Shen Juren.

This Shen Juren was friendly with his father, so he quickly saluted and asked: "I don't know that Mr. Shen is here, and he is not welcome. Mr. Shen also came to the county government. It can be seen that something serious has happened. I don't know if we can go with him." Late students say one or two?"

Shen Shijing sighed, and was about to speak, when the shamed and angry scholar opened his mouth: "Zhao has fought to lose his name today, and dragged Senior Shen and other gentlemen to come here to appeal, it is for Song Sheren, you, you. , You... You shouldn't let people rob my beloved!"

……

"Your surname is Zhao?" Song Shi realized something in a blink of an eye, and ordered the servants around him: "Go and call Li Shaosheng, and tell your lord to recover from your illness and don't rush to court. There is a misunderstanding!"
