Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

In the city of Qizhou in the year of the disaster, the flower-filled buildings, the embroidered lanterns, the beautiful nights with stars and the bright moon are all inferior to the glamorous world. The girls in the flower buildings are pounding clothes and cutting vines, and their beauty is still there. Wang Pu, who is in the bustle, is actually a little reluctant to leave. Because his predecessor grew up in this city, his former friends invited him to a banquet. He deliberately created a persona of a dandy, just domineering but without ambition. He accepted the invitation and thought it would be a hard job, but it turned out to be a lot of fun.

Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road,

The grass is green all the way to the sky.

The evening wind blows the willows and the sound of the flute is faint,

The sunset is beyond the mountains.

The end of the sky, the corner of the earth,

Half of my friends are gone.

A pot of muddy wine to end the remaining joy,

Don't dream of the cold tonight.

Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road,

The grass is green all the way to the sky.

When will you return?

When you come back, don't hesitate.

The end of the world, the corner of the earth,

My friends are half gone.

Life is hard to get together,

Only separation is common.

Listening to the singer singing this popular song in the style of the Republic of China, the surrounding dandies applauded. Wang Pu was happy and sad. He was happy that he finally got the bonus of time travel. As expected, human nature is common. Popular songs can make modern people intoxicated, and of course they can also capture ancient people. Sadly, this kind of popular song is decadent music, fragrant and vulgar in the eyes of the ancients, and it is difficult to be accepted in the hall of elegance. In the eyes of the world, he is at most a warrior with some literary talent and some eccentricity. He wants to make a name for himself with this move, and countless literati and poets will respect him as a guest of honor. That's a dream.

"Brother Shouxin, this poem is really amazing, but it's a pity that it lacks some obscure words and is not up to standard." The man sitting on Wang Pu's left was of great descent. He was Xu Jingting, the descendant of Xu Da, and the eldest son who would inherit the duke's throne in the future. He looked at Wang Pu, and naturally looked unconvinced, but he really couldn't compare, so he could only find fault with him.

Sure enough, someone was dissatisfied and shouted, "Our brother Wang is a military commander who actually holds military power, not a poor scholar. He doesn't have those bad habits of moaning without illness. Our poems should be refreshing, and should be, uh, fluent and simple. I don't like those things that are difficult to read. Brother Wang, you are my brother, so I offer you a glass of wine." The person who dared to confront Master Xu in person was of course also of great descent. He was the descendant of the Duke Rong, a meritorious official of the Jingnan Rebellion, Zhang Sheng. The founding nobles and the meritorious officials of the Jingnan Rebellion had never been on good terms, so Zhang Sheng wanted to protect Wang Pu, who was also from the Jingnan lineage. Moreover, the two people's closeness to Wang Pu can be seen from their names. One uses Wang Pu's courtesy name and calls him Shouxin. The other calls Wang Pu directly "brother".

"Haha." Wang Pu also laughed heartily and said, "I have no rules for writing lyrics. I often write lyrics first and then arrange the music. The music and lyrics are arbitrary. I can't tell the tune or anything else. Some people like it, and some people don't."

"It doesn't matter. I want to compose such a beautiful song, but my dog ​​brain is not smart. Brother Wang's skills are enough to be on par with Liu Yong."

"Yes, there are many people who can write lyrics, but not many who can arrange music."

"Then let's use this song as a card today. Each of us will write a lyric. The winner will be taken away by Miss Mei."

Everyone really wrote the lyric seriously. Some were good and some were bad. Wang Pu read them one by one. Indeed, no one was better than his. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I can't stand it these days."

"Brother Wang, do you want to change your taste?" The man next to him said with a smirk.

"Well? Why not?"

"Hey, that's easy."

That night, the elegant play was full of fun. As usual, it was a messy and chaotic pornographic play. Now there were many refugees begging for food on the streets, so someone came up with an idea to soak the sheep, cattle, chicken, fish and other meat on the table in a dung bucket and give them to them. Wang Pu and others looked down from a high place and saw the refugees below scrambling to eat the shit, and laughed. This scene was too shocking. Wang Pu gradually felt nauseous and asked, "Why are there so many refugees? What if there is a riot in the city?"

"Why don't you send troops to drive them out of the city? It should have been dealt with long ago. It's the local prefect who is shameless and deliberately let these poor people in to disgust us."

"Yes, the crying baby outside the yard at night made me sleep poorly and my eyes bulged. Even if I killed a few of them, I couldn't drive them away. It was a headache."

After all, Wang Pu was a person of later generations and valued human rights more than the ancients, although this modern concept has been in ancient times for a long time and has been mostly corrupted. He said, "The Wang family asked me to build a garden for them. These people are willing to eat shit. As long as they are given food, they should be used as laborers. It's better to give them a decent meal."

"Why do we need such lowly outsiders? We should use our servants to build the garden."

"Yes, the garden drawings must not be leaked. Otherwise, thieves can sneak in and steal, or even kill people, which is very bad."

"So that's it." Wang Pu suddenly realized it. He just said it casually. Hearing such a taboo, he said, "It's not okay to drive them away, but relief is okay."

"Brother Wang is a kind man. I will give 500 taels."

"I will give 100 taels. Recently, many places in my home have suffered from disasters."

"Who won't suffer from disasters? You are so stingy. I will give 300 taels."

So everyone donated money to help the poor, and complimented Wang Pu for being kind and generous. Just as they were talking, someone brought two tall and thin beauties. Wang Pu's eyes were immediately drawn. These two beauties were too thin and their curves were not obvious, but they were flawless. Especially their cheeks were shy and happy, and their brows were particularly prominent. They seemed to be dolls made of sour lemons, which made people feel sour.

"Atmosphere beauties." Wang Pu muttered suddenly. These two little beauties, with high nose bridges and delicate and clear facial features, were clearly Korean-style technological beauties that were popular in later generations.

"Send them to the bridal chamber, brother Wang, please enjoy yourself." The others saw Wang Pu's pig-like face and knew that there was something going on. Wang Pu knew that these brothers present were all straightforward people, so he didn't refuse. He laughed and hugged the two fragrant Korean-style beauties on his left and right, and walked into the flower pavilion.

Under the candlelight, looking left and right, the beauty on the left was as beautiful as a work of art., the corners of her eyelashes swayed slightly, and when she looked up, she felt like she was going to be melted. The girl on the right was so slender and lovely, like jade and boneless, and when she rubbed her hands, Wang Pu's heart was about to melt.

"What are the names of the two sisters?" Wang Pu asked.

"My name is Xihe."

"My name is Xishou."

"My name is Slave?" Wang Pu suddenly felt something was wrong, men should be called slaves, right? He trembled and reached out to lift his sister's jaw, and he saw the terrifying Adam's apple. Ah, he screamed, rushed out of the door, and ran to the sink like he was escaping, washing his hands, washing his hands.

The soldiers broke in, and the surroundings were also in turmoil. When a group of people came in and saw that Wang Pu was fine, but his face was pale, they asked why.

Wang Pu replied: "Why are they men? What's wrong with you? Find me two men."

Everyone looked at each other and immediately understood that Wang Pu didn't like this. Wu Dongrong, the fourth young master of Xincheng Houfu who offered the two boys, was very embarrassed. He didn't have a high status among the crowd, so he tried too hard. He had already offered the best goods in the bottom of the box, but it was messed up. He said with a sullen face: "It must be my two servants who are wrong. I will beat them to death when I get back."

Wang Pu felt a chill and finally calmed down. After hearing what he said, he had to say: "It's okay, it's okay, I don't like this."

"I understand. Brother Wang likes this look, but it must be a woman."

Everyone nodded when they heard it. That's right.

"We all know what Brother Wang likes. Back then, Brother Wang also made a bold statement that he would marry Chi Yinping, the second daughter of the Chi family." Someone who was familiar with Wang Pu's old friend also broke the news as if to show off his achievements. Everyone was suddenly enlightened and smiled at each other.

Wang Pu was stunned. How could he, the fake Wang Pu, know what the real Wang Pu said in Qizhou? He could only laugh awkwardly.

"Unfortunately, you are late. Teacher Chi's daughter has been promised to Pu Zhen, the idiot." Seeing Wang Pu's confusion, others thought he was still nostalgic and teased him with this gossip.

"This guy is lucky. Teacher Chi refused to take his daughter as a concubine. Otherwise, I would go to her house. Pu Zhen is a cowardly guy. His family actually lets him do whatever he wants. Is there no one to control him?" Everyone agreed and felt sorry.

Wang Pu pondered these words carefully and understood the general idea. In ancient times, people paid attention to matching up. The noble sons present could only listen to their families' arrangements. The beauty and ugliness of the wives who were married in a formal way were all determined by fate. Only for families of very low status, they could make their own decisions and spend money to buy the daughters of other people as concubines. However, the rank of the teacher is too low. It is too disadvantageous for the noble children present to marry him. If they want to take him as a concubine, he is an official after all, and a school official, with a noble status, so of course they are not happy. Moreover, it is a small flaw in the national law for a school official to give his own daughter as a concubine. If someone reports it in the future, it will be a crime. Their noble families will not fall because of such a small crime, but small school officials may not be able to withstand it, and losing their jobs will be bad. Therefore, Teacher Chi refused to take his daughter as a concubine, otherwise it would not be Wang Pu and others' turn to think about it.Remember.

After a big blunder, Wang Pu lost interest and set off to return to the camp in a depressed mood. When he left the flower house, there were refugees outside and a foul smell of meat and bones. Wang Pu said angrily: "Drive these people away, how can we smell this smell."

So the soldiers came forward and beat and kicked the refugees away. Wang Pu saw the wailing little baby on the ground and the mother who was desperately protecting the baby, and hurriedly stopped. He thought of the villains in film and television works at this moment, and reflected on whether he had gone astray. But I can't do anything about the catastrophe of the Ming Dynasty, I can only take one step at a time. So he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't bully the people, we will go out from the back door."

Wang Pu didn't see that there was a pair of beautiful eyes in the distance, still shining under the slender cloak. This was Xing Hongniang. She actually arrived in Qizhou earlier than agreed. She was looking at Wang Pu's back with a smile in the crowd. The woman next to her was Bai Xiaoru, the bandit leader who had caused chaos in Xianghe in the past. She took Xing Hongniang's arm affectionately and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law has a conscience, but it's a pity that there are not many."

"Huh." Xing Hongniang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He is the best among the people around him."

Bai Xiaoru tilted her head and squinted and smiled, "All rich young men are like this. No matter how good they are, they can't be devoted and loyal. Sister, you have to think carefully."

"Sister, I have no other choice." Xing Hongniang smiled bitterly. She hit By mistake, she mistook Wang Pu for Li Yan. After having sex with him, she realized that she had recognized the wrong person several days later. It was too late. The ancients attached great importance to chastity. What could Xing Hongniang do even if she was unwilling? She said, "Wang Pu, no, my husband is willing to secretly help the righteous army for me. Although one of us is an official and the other is a thief, we are connected in heart. I think we can get together in the future."

"The most troublesome one is actually the princess. As long as Wang Pu marries the princess, you will never be the main wife." Bai Xiaoru said disapprovingly, "I heard that the people of the Zhu family are very bad. Oh, what will you do in the future? Do you have to cry all day long?"

"Humph, afraid, what are you afraid of. I am a female thief who kills and robs people. Will I be afraid of her delicate princess? Just wait and see in the future." Xing Hongniang said harshly.

"Hmph." Bai Xiaoru sneered and said, "Can the descendants of the Zhu family get along well? Sister, you don't know that the Zhu family are the worst villains, a hundred times worse than my stepmother."

"You, why do you say that?" Xing Hongniang felt guilty. She grew up in the countryside and was indeed not as knowledgeable as Bai Xiaoru, the daughter of a city merchant.

"I heard that the princess's family raised a tiger. If she saw someone who was not pleasing, she would throw him in to feed the tiger. People raised by such a family tradition and education are definitely not good people."

"Well." Xing Hongniang's face flushed, but it was not spring, but she was suffocated and angry. She said angrily: "If it is such a female devil, I will kill her and enforce justice on behalf of heaven. If my husband dares to stop me, I will reason with him first. If he doesn't listen to reason and still persists in evil, I will, I will break his legs."

Listen to my sisterThis woman hated evil so much that she would not even forgive her husband when she was angry. Bai Xiaoru felt guilty and stuck out her tongue, saying, "The Zhu family has done a lot of bad things. I heard no less than ten cases when I was a child. The Zhu family forced marriage and forced seizure are the lightest things. What I hate most is that some of the Zhu family members caught children on the street and threw them into the furnace to make swords. For a sword, they burned several innocent children to death. One near my home was caught and his body was not found. I was scared to death when I was a child. I didn't even dare to go out for several years."

"Humph, that's why we have to rebel. All the injustices in the world are because the Zhu family is too bad. They don't care about everyone's life and death, but only care about pleasure."

"Sister, you are so heroic and talented. I have never thought about these things. I rebelled just to survive, unlike you, who rebelled to restore fairness to the world."

"Well, you will be with me in the future. We girls can also live a glorious life. If men are not good, we will break their legs."

"Yes, men who are disobedient will also be broken." Bai Xiaoru nodded repeatedly and said, "For men like my father who are unfaithful, even their hands and feet should be broken." When Xianghe was besieged by government troops, her father saw that the situation was not right, so he took away the gold and silver in the warehouse, abandoned her and fled alone. Bai Xiaoru still cannot let go of this resentment when she thinks about it today.

"What's so great about men? I have finally realized that men need to be tamed with heart in order to get along for a long time. If you don't give them some tricks, they will eventually betray you, just like a cat that always eats fish. Men like my brother-in-law have the nature of eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. I hope he will be loyal. There is no medicine to cure it, but I do have a way to prevent him from marrying a princess." Bai Xiaoru raised a pink little finger, with a round and chubby little face, but she said something cruel to cure men, which was inexplicably a bit weird.

"What, is there a good way?" Xing Hongniang's almond eyes were bright, but then dimmed, and said: "You are just like me, a girl from a good family, how can you understand these things."

"As long as his reputation is ruined, he will not be able to marry a princess." Bai Xiaoru said firmly.
