I am immortal in history

The performance of a wave of maids ended, and a new girl was replaced.

Play, play, sing, and dance.

The scholar sitting at the table next to Li Ping'an ordered the maid to get a brush and rice paper, and wrote two poems in one stroke without adding any points.

The maid held the poem and came to the stage to sing the lyrics loudly.

"Two poems for Miaomiao..."

As the title of the poem suggests, the scholar composed the poem for the girl who was leading the dance on the stage.

The diction is gorgeous, the sentence structure is gorgeous, and it sounds very literary at first glance, but in fact it cannot be studied in depth, but it is already very powerful for improvising.

There were many scholars among the guests, and they applauded the scholars loudly.

Those merchants were illiterate in writing, but it was good if they didn't understand, and they all took out their money to reward him.

Li Ping'an saw it very interestingly. This brothel was different from the brothels he knew. The girls were more important than selling their bodies.

Celebrities make much more money than ladies!

Zhigang clicked his tongue and said, "The tricks used to cheat people out of money in the capital are much deeper than those in the countryside."

"It can't be said that it's coaxing. I make the guests happy. I know I'm asking for help but I'm willing to spend money."

Li Pingan said with a smile: "Emotions are valuable and can be exchanged for material value."

"Layers often have enlightening and enlightening remarks!"

Zhi Gang pondered carefully and became more and more aware of the mystery.

During this period of chatting with Li Ping'an, he was obviously an inexperienced coffin official who had no knowledge of the world and the world, but he often said words that pointed to the essence from a high position.

Otherwise, the mad monk would not be able to have friendship with ordinary people!

The two of them spoke without concealing their voices. When the scholar who composed the poem heard it, he stood up and walked over: "Su Mingyuan, a young student, has met the master and the young master."

Zhigang raised his eyebrows, a bit surprised: "Sajia Zhigang, the knife catcher."

"Li Ping'an, a common mortician."

Li Ping'an reported his professional name and saw that the scholar didn't have any dislike, so he couldn't help but feel a bit fond of him.

Subordinate officials seem to have more income and higher status than ordinary people, but in fact they have low status.

They were not allowed to take scientific examinations, engage in farming, or do business, and because many of the subordinate staff were greedy and cruel, most scholars hated the subordinate staff.

"Why did Mr. Su come here?"

"It's interesting to hear the two of you talk. You're not like ordinary people. I came here specifically to get to know you two."

"We are just looking at a lowly official. The master is a gangster and has no value in making friends."

"I'm just a down-and-out scholar who has failed many attempts."

"Please take a seat."

Li Ping'an ordered the maid to add a pair of bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses, and praised: "Master Su's poems are good."

Su Mingyuan's face turned red: "I'm not good at writing poems. I write them all in advance."

Li Ping'an suddenly asked: "How many taels per song?"

"Twelve taels."

Su Mingyuan answered subconsciously, and then quickly explained: "I really don't have any rice to cook with, so I have to make money. On weekdays, I just copy books and learn a little bit."

Zhigang said: "The Sa family kills people for a living, and the lay people make a living by touching corpses. Mr. Su, please don't dislike us for being rude."

"There is no distinction between high and low when eating!"

Su Mingyuan said: "When I didn't pass the scholar examination, I was working as a farmer in the countryside. I didn't even have any clothes on my body. I would bend over and expose my buttocks, and talk nonsense politely."

When Zhigang heard the word "shit", he laughed loudly and immediately called the maid.

"Good wine!"

Li Ping'an smiled: "We heard that there is a saying in the book, which says that a person who works hard will strain his muscles and bones and starve his body and skin?"

"The person who said this should be allowed to farm for a few years."

Su Mingyuan said in a deep voice: "The young man is determined to study and come to live in the city. He does not seek wealth or officialdom. It is purely out of the instinct of survival!"

Li Ping'an nodded slightly, agreeing with this.

People freeze to death every day in the capital, and people they meet will sigh a few words, but in the countryside this is a common thing.

When there is a famine in the countryside, there is no talking about similar things. The frozen corpses on the roadside are food, and the same goes for the living people no matter how desperate they are.

The capital city is somewhat civilized, but the countryside is a place of naked jungle law.

For example, farmers tend to marry in the autumn, not for good luck, but because their children are born in late summer and early autumn, so the probability of their children dying is smaller.

The infant mortality rate in rural Daqian exceeds 40%, and only half of those who survive to adulthood drop!

Li Ping'an sighed: "It's already difficult to live!"

When Su Mingyuan heard this, he seemed to think of his parents, brothers and sisters who starved to death, and couldn't help crying.

"Amitabha!"

Zhigang proclaimed the Buddha's name, and the sound went directly into their ears, making their scalps numb.

"Let's come to Goulan to listen to music and have fun. Don't mention those depressing things, otherwise the money will be wasted?"

"Drink, drink."

Li Ping'an raised his wine glass, and the three of them clinked it and drank it down.

Drinking is an important way for men to get closer. Even if they meet for the first time, they can still talk to each other as brothers after a few glasses of wine.

The three of them talked while drinking. Li Ping'an talked about the weird things about the underworld business. Zhi Gang also had many mysterious experiences while traveling around.

Su Mingyuan shouted that he was silent and had strange powers, and then he changed his voice and said that he was making money by writing a book about strange stories.

Talk from the northern Xinjiang to the south of the Yangtze River, from the East China Sea to the Western Regions, from the rivers and lakes to... the rivers and lakes!

Don't touch the court at all!

Li Ping'an was well-informed, and after telling the ghost story, he was defeated and listened to Zhigang and Su Mingyuan talking about Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.

"Buddhism produces obedient people..."

"Confucianism produces slaves..."

The two quoted scriptures and argued endlessly.

From noon to dusk, the girls on the stage changed round after round, but there was still no winner.

Li Ping'an was astonished that a fair-wine monk and a down-and-out scholar had read so many books. How could a person who won the Jinshi be so good?

Until around Xu time, Su Mingyuan fell drunk and fell asleep on the table.

Zhigang said proudly: "The Sa family practices the art of boiling eagles and can go without eating or drinking for three days and three nights. This guy is still far behind!"

Li Ping'an was quite speechless. As the two debated, it became clear that their intellect and heart were lacking, but they didn't want to be stubborn. They were waiting for this.

"Master seems to have read a lot of books?"

"Martial arts strengthens Qi and blood, which makes people prone to dryness and anger."

Zhigang said: "Buddhist scriptures say that the four elements are empty, Taoist scriptures talk about pure mind and few desires, and Confucianism teaches about cultivating the mind and nature. In fact, they all teach how to resolve and subdue mania."

"When the Sa family was practicing in the temple, they read many Buddhist scriptures, but they didn't take it seriously at the time."

"Later, when I was fighting in the arena, I would get angry and bloody from time to time. I recalled the admonitions in the Buddhist scriptures, calmed down and thought about it, and saved the lives of the Sa family several times!"

"I see."

Li Ping'an wrote down this matter, went back to buy some books to read, and pointed at the unconscious Su Mingyuan.

"Why does Master value Mr. Su so much?"

Zhigang said: "The green energy covers the top."

A person with green energy indicates a prosperous official career, so there is a saying that he will rise to the top.

Li Ping'an frowned and said, "I originally thought Mr. Su was interesting, so I planned to take him home to stay for a night, and then we could entertain him and make friends with him tomorrow."

"Since Master said so, let's avoid it!"

Officialdom is like a battlefield, no less dangerous.

Su Mingyuan will have a prosperous official career in the future, and his friends, chickens and dogs, or nine tribes will ascend to heaven.

"The same goes for the Sa family."

Zhigang called the madam: "Arrange a room on the third floor for the Sa family."

The old bustard reminded: "Lord Buddha, the price of the girl on the third floor..."

Zhigang took out a stack of banknotes, the madam clicked the amount, and immediately went to make arrangements with a smile on her face.

Li Ping'an's eyes darted around and he looked around: "Master, are you going to spend the night upstairs?"

"Don't be a hypocrite and fake Taoism. Only by going deep into it can you truly criticize!"

Zhigang held Su Mingyuan with one hand and pushed Li Pingan to the third floor with the other.

The next day.

Li Ping'an carefully removed the girl's lotus arms and legs from her body, got out of the embroidered quilt, dressed and went downstairs, sneaking around as if she was a thief.

"The past few months have been wasted!"

When I traveled to ancient society, I originally thought that there were no entertainment activities and life was boring. Last night, I really opened up a new world.

The girl is well-educated, elegant and refined, and can also play the harp and flute. In her previous life, she was a talented woman and a goddess who could only be seen from a distance.

That plaintive cry made Li Pingan forget to leave.

"How do you feel, layman?"

"Very smooth!"
