Dongli drinks wine after dusk

Chapter 192
Jiang Wensheng's eyes were blurred, as if he had returned to the time when the two first met ten years ago.

At that time, the family was trying to get a wife for him.

He did not object to this, but quietly begged his aunt, hoping that his future wife would be well-read in poetry and books, so as not to have incompatible personalities and no common language after marriage.

Such a woman is really not easy to find.

Few of the children of rich and powerful officials are blind, and they must recognize the characters, but the ethos of more than 20 years ago still carries the shadow of the previous dynasty, which is far less open than it is now. The saying that women without talent is virtue is extremely prevalent.

This also directly led to the fact that most of the women who had just entered the marriage age ten years ago only read the Four Books for Women, knew a few words, learned the three obediences and the four virtues, the three cardinal principles and the five constant principles.

Of course, the most critical question is that Jiang Wensheng's identity is not worthy of a truly wise wealthy family and a talented woman from a Qingliu family.

His talent and fame have only been gradually revealed in recent years. Ten years ago, he was just a small concubine in the Jiang family. His father and grandparents did not have official positions, even if he was a concubine, he usually married wives who were well-matched.

When it was his turn, he was naturally inferior.

Mrs. Cui did her best to him, she tried her best to find a few similar ones, and arranged to meet him.It doesn't matter to him, his mother said yes, that's great, just marry him.

With a young heart, it is normal to go to brothels with friends to eat, drink and have fun, but because of his birth mother's status, he will never stay overnight in brothels, let alone touch these poor people with bad words.

Su Niang was very beautiful, and this beauty brought her more disasters.

She is a few years older than Jiang Wensheng, and she has lived in this man-eating building for many years, and has seen all kinds of men, from the initial despair to the current discouragement.

For a young lady, the first way to survive is to keep your mouth open and not your heart. Those sweet words come as soon as you open your mouth.

Otherwise, let's see what happened to those sisters who thought they had reaped love, but ended up losing money and being cheated to death by men, and they should know what to do.

Jiang Wensheng spoke elegantly and showed respect in his bones, which made Su Niang dumbfounded for the first time.

"Thank you ladies." He subconsciously thanked him after taking the filled wine glass.

"The slave's name is Su Niang." Qin Suyan laughed at Yanyan.

"There's Lao Su Niang." Jiang Wensheng was shaken by this smile, and then said after a moment of stupefaction.

"My lord, don't you think that the servants are not serving you well, why are you so polite?" Su Niang leaned on him sadly, her task today is to accompany him to drink, it is best to keep him here, if successful, then You can get 20 taels of silver.

In this romantic scene, it was always a place where newcomers laughed and old ones did not cry. Qin Su was only in her early twenties that year, and she has already become a thing of the past.

The new oiran in the building is a 14-year-old girl, her skin can be broken by blows, and her waist is too hard to hold.

Su Niang is no longer popular, she has never been an oiran, she used to be able to rely on her youth, and make a living, but the older she gets, the harder life will be.

She hasn't saved enough money to redeem herself.Although it is impossible for a person like her to get rid of her humble status in her whole life, as long as she saves enough money, she can stop selling herself and find a small house to live in peace.

So 20 taels, she couldn't ignore it.

But what happened to this seemingly deceitful young man?No matter how she expresses or hints, she remains unmoved, and in the end, she even tells her affectionately that she is fine, there is no need for this, and they just have a glass of water and wine and chat.

What the hell went to the brothel to spend the night chatting!Su Niang was secretly anxious, it was already dark, the boy wanted to leave several times, but she forced him to stay.

In the end, the result was that she didn't earn the 20 taels, and Jiang Wensheng pleaded guilty and left.

It turns out that there are really cats in this world who don't steal. Su Niang tidied up her messy clothes, stared at the boy's back as he went away, and was dazed.

"Trash!" A slap on the face was slapped by the friend who came with the boy: "You bitch, you can't do such a small thing well."

"Master, don't be angry~" The sisters in the building helped out, and Su Niang kowtowed again to make amends, and was finally spared.

Later, I heard from the sisters that it was because of a few of them betting on whether Jiang Wensheng could stay here. The man who beat her paid a high price of 1000 taels but lost the bet, so he vented his anger on her.

It turned out that his name was Jiang Wensheng.

When they came again next time, Su Niang took the opportunity in private and told Jiang Wensheng that these people bet against him.

Usually she is not a troublesome person.For people like them, the first rule of survival is to mind your own business, so that you can live long and safely.

However, she didn't want him to be kept in the dark. In her more than 20 years of life, she felt that this boy was different, and she didn't want him to be hurt.These people obviously didn't really regard him as a friend.

Jiang Wensheng was slightly surprised, and then sincerely thanked him. He didn't say much at the time, but he didn't come for a long time afterwards.

Su Niang was relieved that he had left a group of friends who had other plans for him, but also regretted that he was such a good boy, maybe we won't see each other again in the future, he is not the kind of slut who likes to visit brothels.

In the new year, he actually appeared again!This time it was a person. When they saw her, they looked at each other and smiled.

Every ten days, he would come to look for her.

They drank and chatted to each other, he was surprised by her erudition, and she was grateful for his integrity.

The two throbbing hearts are getting closer and closer, she is waiting, waiting for a word from him, even if there is a mountain of fire, as long as she is with him, she is willing to take a gamble and make a breakthrough.

During the Lantern Festival, the streets and alleys of the capital are decorated with lanterns and festoons, and after dusk, it is an excellent time to make love.

Jiang Wensheng ordered her today, and the two of them traveled together, like ordinary boys and girls, this night, she was not a lowly lady, but a friend who could talk with him on an equal footing.

All night, they chatted from ancient poems to allusions, from food to regions, and they chatted speculatively and happily.

The flow of people dispersed in twos and threes, and after the hustle and bustle, they stood on the bridge beside Taiye Lake.

Jiang Wensheng called her name: "Su Niang."

She waited all night, is it finally coming?

"I'm getting married."

What did she just hear?Her heart stopped beating for a beat, and then a tingling pain spread all over her body, causing her to stand there in a daze.

"Su Niang, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." She raised her face slightly, smiling very naturally and happily: "I'm so happy for the young master. Once you marry a wife, you are an adult."

This is her usual mask. After wearing it for many years, there is no lag in wearing it again.

It turned out that she also learned to pretend to this boy.Su Niang looked back at the lights in the street that had not been extinguished, it was still a dream,
