This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 318

Yihong Pavilion... This is a brothel spread all over the Song Dynasty, but there are brothels in every prosperous town.

Now Shi Lei is sitting in Yihong Pavilion, drinking some wine.

Everyone knows that Lu Sen has three disciples, a pair of twin girls, and a scholar.

But knowing the name does not mean knowing the person, except for a very small number of people, very few people know what Shi Lei looks like.

The main reason is that Shi Lei usually stays inside the mountain gate, and only goes out for a walk for ten and a half months.

Besides, Lu Sen is also an 'otaku', and he will not bring his disciples around to visit other people or other forces, soliciting favors and making connections.

Therefore, Shi Lei, a new disciple, is obviously famous, but in real life, he is a little transparent.

He is now drinking a little wine in the bustling brothel, waiting quietly, and no one comes to disturb him.

"Knowing the destiny at forty, really knowing the destiny." Shi Lei sipped the fine wine in the brothel, full of sighs.

More than a year ago, he was still waiting for the exam with trepidation. As he got older, his spirit became more and more depressed, and his confidence in luck became lower and lower. The willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and he has become the disciple of the immortal.

From then on, with the 'Xianshu' around him, everything in the world seems to be less important to him.

Fame and fortune are just waiting.

Thinking back to the anxiety, resignation and worry about preparing for the exam a year ago, it seems that they are all things from the previous life, just like waking up from a big dream.

After Sa had finished drinking, Shi Lei called out: "Xiaoer, serve another jar of green bamboo leaves."

Not long after, Xiao Er came over with a jar in his arms, and while helping to open the seal, he asked, "Guest officer, you are also a gentleman, so you shouldn't look down on the vulgar fans down there. Everyone from Li Wenwen who just happened to go upstairs If you are free, why not go and kiss Fangze."

Shi Lei was moved intentionally.

Shimen doesn't really prohibit beauty, as long as it doesn't force it.

After all, Shi Lei's master, Daoist Lu, has many beautiful people around him, so naturally he doesn't have any opinions or restrictions on this aspect.

For nearly 20 years, Shi Lei has been obsessed with scientific research and has never considered the issue of wives and concubines, but now, he thinks he can think about it.

This is also the reason why he usually goes shopping and loves going to Huafang and brothels.

"Everyone Li likes scholars like Ke Guan the most." Xiao Er continued.

Shi Lei thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go up and sit down. My surname is Shi. If someone comes to see me later, just let him come up."

Xiao Er nodded repeatedly, extremely happy.

If he can successfully attract customers, he will also be rewarded.

Not long after, Shi Lei saw Li Wenwen in the big room on the third floor.

This woman is really beautiful, and she has a bit of skill in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After sitting down, Shi Lei chatted with her, from romantic poems to family and country affairs.

This Li Wenwen can tell a little way, although it is not deep, but it is indeed much better than ordinary people.

The amazing thing about this woman is that she can chat with you while playing the piano. The sound of the piano is melodious but not competitive, just like soft background music, softening the atmosphere of the scene.

The last two talked about calligraphy.

Shi Lei couldn't help but said: "Calligraphy is one of the world's talented people, but only my master can be No. 1 in the world."

Li Wenwen looked a little surprised, but also a little disbelieving.

Bragging, who wouldn't.

The middle-aged scholar in front of him looked stable, but he didn't expect that he was also arrogant in his bones.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Shi Lei smiled and said, "Bring a pen and paper, and I'll write a few words for you."

Li Wenwen stopped playing the piano, took out a pen and paper and put it on.

All courtesans will definitely have such things in their rooms.

Because the objects they serve are generally officials or scholars.

Shi Lei imitated Lu Sen's style and wrote four words: Yesterday and past.

These four characters are in thin gold body.

Although Shi Lei was just imitating, as a scholar, he still writes well, and this imitation also has a three-point flavor in it.

When Li Wenwen saw these four characters, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said: "The font is clear and slender, and it looks like iron bones. It is indeed a font that I have never seen before."

Shi Lei put down his pen and smiled triumphantly.

At this time, Zhao Ji had not yet been born, and Lu Sen had practiced calligraphy for five years, using the Shoujin style improved by Qin Hui, which is what later generations call Song style.

It is now his first.

And after five years of uninterrupted practice, his handwriting is already very beautiful, and it also has his own "meaning" in it. Shi Lei can copy his shape, but it is rare to have Lu Sen's charm.

"My calligraphy skill is not even master's complete."

Li Wenwen couldn't help asking: "May I ask the guest officer's master, Gao's name?"

Shi Lei didn't say anything, just smiled.

Li Wenwen let out a long sigh, held the copybook and said, "Even the apprentice's handwriting is so strong, I wonder how amazing the master's handwriting can be."

"Yeah, when I first saw Master's words, I was astonished as a man of heaven... No, he is a man of heaven." Shi Lei recalled the scene at that time, and said slowly: "There is always a feeling that I have practiced for more than 30 years. The words are no different from children's graffiti."

30 years?

Li Wenwen was startled, and looked at Shi Lei's appearance. This scholar has a calm and mature temperament. He looks a bit older, but judging by the tenderness and texture of his skin, he will not be more than 30 years old.

At the moment she smiled and said: "Guest officer really likes to joke, you are at most [-] years old, no matter how you look at it, you are not confused."

"I'm really 41 this year." Shi Lei was rather proud.

More than a year ago, he looked very old, with a 40-year-old body and a 50-year-old appearance and spirit.

But under the nourishment of honey, fairy fruit and other strange things, his complexion is getting better and better, and he is getting younger and younger.

Li Wenwen didn't believe it: "Guest officer, don't joke, do you think I believe it or not, little girl?"

"It doesn't matter whether everyone believes Li or not." Shi Lei laughed twice, picked up his glass and drank it down in one gulp. He looked like a scholar, but he had a kind of unruly pride.

Li Wenwen looked at it, and felt a little throbbing in his heart for some reason.

At this time, the door knocked.

Li Wenwen shouted out: "Who is outside?"

"I'm here to find Second Brother Shi."

Shi Lei nodded to Li Wenwen and said: "The person who came to see me, please open the door, everyone, please let the guests in, and close the door for me by the way, we have something to talk about alone."

Li Wenwen nodded, and then did as he said.

She invited the middle-aged man outside to enter the house, then closed the door, and went to the inner room on the third floor to sit and rest.

This place is for courtesans to 'rest'.

For example, some customers have special requirements, and she will come here for help when she can't handle it alone.

And there are usually many people waiting here.

It was the same this time, as soon as Li Wenwen entered, those sisters surrounded her, asking what was going on and how to help her.

Li Wenwen waved his hand and said: "The benefactor has something important to discuss with other guests, so I will come out."

"You still took out a piece of paper?" A pretty woman next to her snatched the copybook and said with a smile: "Could it be that the scholar wrote you a love poem? Let me see... this is a word, wait, this It's the first time I've seen the font."

Still the same sentence, women in high-end brothels are much more educated than ordinary people.

They could see something wrong with this word at a glance, and they immediately started talking about it.

It is said that although the word "spirit" is insufficient, the "shape" has its uniqueness.

A beautiful woman said: "Although I haven't really reached the level of a master of calligraphy, it is rare in the world."

Li Wenwen sat down, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "This man said that his handwriting is far inferior to that of Master, and that his Master is definitely No. 1 in the world."

"It's really shameless."

"The writing is good, but the people are too crazy."

"How dare you claim to be number one in the world, where do you put those real talents in the court?"

"This man is so proud, do you know where he came from?"

Li Wenwen shook his head: "I don't know, I only know that the surname is Shi."

The sisters laughed again.

However, there was a woman who was not very talkative, and suddenly said timidly: "I heard that Master Lu's third disciple is named Shi... If it is really that person, he will be number one in the world. "

The room suddenly fell silent.

Li Wenwen was also stunned, with his eyes straightened, and muttered to himself: "I remember, he just said that he is 41 years old, and he looks pretty, only about [-] years old... If that is the case, then he can say it." pass."

Hearing this, all the women in the room stood up and stared fixedly at Li Wenwen.

This is Hangzhou, and real person Lu is practicing on the hill outside the city, which is the closest place to the dummy, so they reacted very quickly and thought of the answer in no time.

After a while, someone said: "Sister Wenwen, if you need help later, please feel free to tell me, I will help you without any reward."

At this moment, Shi Lei was in a difficult situation.

"Second brother, I'm not talking about you for my brother's sake. According to the clan elders, you should marry a wife and have children." The middle-aged man who just came in advised.

Shi Lei frowned: "But I have just joined the teacher's school for more than a year, and now I want to get married. It's not good, what will the master think of me?"

The person in front of him is his cousin, and what the other person said has weight with Shi Lei.

"Isn't Master Lu also married?" Boss Shi said cautiously, "He probably won't forbid his disciples to get married and have children, right?"

"That's not true." Shi Lei said with a smile: "Master often drives me outside and asks me to walk around, and he is also clear about my love of shopping in flower streets, and he never said a word against me."

"That's it." Boss Shi felt relieved, and he said, "Second brother, what kind of appearance do you like, and what do you want, just tell us, we will help you find someone, and you will be satisfied."

Shi Lei thought for a while, but really couldn't tell.

Now his vision is different from before. A beauty like Li Wenwen would have been at a loss if he saw a beauty like Li Wenwen more than a year ago, but now, he doesn't seem to be much touched.

The other party is beautiful, but there is always something missing.

Not attractive enough.

He thought for a while, and asked, "Brother, if I want to find a witch, can you help me find it?"

Boss Shi was immediately taken aback!
What are you talking about, isn't this embarrassing me?
