Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Those who greeted at the door of this building were exactly Zheng Zhibao and others who also booked a building to entertain the Minister of Nanjing Military Department.

And Zheng Zhibao was also waiting for the carriage of the Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing with his head stuck out, so he didn't notice the collision of Wu Shigong and his pedestrians at all, so when he reacted, the guards on both sides had already shown their short weapons with swords drawn.

But after all, it was on the busiest Chaoku Street in Nanjing, so the two sides were confronting each other like this, and no one dared to make a move first.But at this time, Zheng Zhibao was leading a lot of people, so besides a dozen guards surrounding him, the rest of the guards formed a half circle and pressed towards Wu Shigong.

But Zheng Zhibao is still clear-headed after all, he knows that people who can come to Chaoku Street to play at least have some status, and people with more than [-] guards are either rich or expensive, so he yelled a few times in Hokkien to let him Your own guards should not act rashly.

On Wu Shigong's side, when there was a conflict, Zhang Rubao, who followed Wu Shigong closely, immediately followed the standard protection procedure, using his thick body to block Wu Shigong, and Wu Shigong was too crowded to understand the situation for a moment.

And the inferiority of the Chinese people who like to watch the excitement began to break out.The surrounding crowd immediately formed a big circle, and they were not afraid of getting hurt, so they were ready to watch the two sides start a full-scale martial arts fight.

But before those spectators stood still, the 170 or so guards arranged by Wu Shigong also rushed over. They pushed down the people in front of the circle regardless of everything, and rushed towards Zheng Zhibao's guards with weapons in their hands. .

What is exaggerated is that there are more than [-] of them still holding axes and guns, and nearly ten of them are holding firecrackers. I don't know how these guards brought these long weapons into Qianku Street.

When the group of guards joined, Zheng Zhibao's expression changed.Everyone knows that there is a battle between those with short blades and those with long weapons.That's basically one-sided carnage.Especially with nearly ten guns pointed at him.

Zheng Zhibao could clearly see that the soldiers in front of him were soldiers.Otherwise, who would dare to openly show the firecrackers in Nanjing?But at this time, I can't weaken my momentum, and I don't know what happened?So Zheng Zhibao could only turn pale, and shouted to Wu Shigong: "My lord, the villain has nothing to offend you! Is there some misunderstanding?"

Only then did Wu Shigong understand what had happened.I also heard that Zheng Zhibao's accent was very familiar, which is the Mandarin accent spoken by modern Taiwan compatriots, so it must be a misunderstanding, because I have no enemies in Fujian.

Therefore, Wu Shigong immediately stopped his urge to guard.He bowed his hands to Zheng Zhibao from a distance, and said with a smile, "Misunderstanding!"

Zheng Zhibao laughed dryly a few times, and bowed his hands in return, "My lord is a good soldier!"

Hearing Zheng Zhibao's compliment, Wu Shigong nodded to him with a smile, and then let his guards disperse.To go to Meilou.However, Wu Shigong admired the vision of the strong man in front of him, knowing that he was carrying soldiers.And this strong man's guard is not weak.Even being able to keep calm under the fire guns of his own guards is indeed a character!

However, the current Wu Shigong has no idea of ​​getting to know Zheng Zhibao, and all his thoughts are on the banquet of Wei Guogong's son Xu Wenjue.So Wu Shigong bowed to Zheng Zhibao again, and then walked towards Meilou with his guards.

But when he was about to leave, Wu Shigong suddenly had a joking idea, and said in Hokkien: "You will win if you fight hard!" Then he laughed and walked away.In modern times, Wu Shigong sang this song a lot in ktv.So his Hokkien pronunciation is quite standard.

Zheng Zhibao was stunned for a while when he heard this dialect from his hometown. He pondered over the meaning of this sentence over and over again.Suddenly, it dawned on him that this military officer was teaching him his experience in military training!

So Zheng Zhibao immediately laughed out loud.He said to himself: "Interesting! It's interesting!" Suddenly Zheng Zhibao's mind lit up, and he hadn't asked the military officer's name just now.

So Zheng Zhibao immediately called a guard beside him, and arranged: "Follow him and find out who that person is!" Zheng Zhibao came to Nanjing to make friends with people from all walks of life.He saw that Wu Shigong could rampage through the city of Nanjing with guards holding firecrackers, and he thought that this must be someone with a history, so he thought about making friends.

And Wu Shigong quickly put this skirmish behind him.He still took a walk looking at the scenery of Chaoku Street and Qinhuai River.But as he walked, Wu Shigong felt a little awkward.After thinking about it carefully, it suddenly dawned on me that my clothes were a bit out of place.

Now walking on Chaoku Street, except for the servants, no matter whether they are old or young, tall or short, fat or thin, they are all dressed as literati in long gowns, but Wu Shigong himself is wearing a short gown even though he is also wearing brocade clothes for the convenience of movement. leather boots.

Wu Shigong felt a little funny in his heart, wasn't he just playing with a woman!Could Mensao be more popular than Mingsao?Don't even look at the green light in your own eyes!It will be a little more troublesome to take off your clothes by then!

After walking for less than a stick of incense, they came to a relatively quiet place. The guards who explored the road in front had already asked for the place, and he made a signal to Tao Xin, so Wu Shigong knew that Meilou had arrived.

At the entrance of Meilou, you can see a few clean-dressed guys and aunts, explaining to some people with smiles on their faces: "I'm really sorry, Meilou was booked today, sir, how about you come back tomorrow?" , sorry sorry."

There are also some guests who are very frustrated and complain there.Wu Shigong carefully looked at the door, and immediately frowned.Because at the gate of Meilou now, except for those fellows of Meilou, there is no one waiting to greet him.

Wu Shigong understood that Xu Wenjue, the heir of the Duke of Wei, could not go downstairs to greet him due to his status, but Ma Shouxin, who was kindly invited yesterday, did not appear either.This is a bit unreasonable.You know, the etiquette between the children of Xungui is very particular.This is not to welcome guests at the door. If you say it in Xiaoli, you have no tutoring. If you say it in Dali, you just don’t take yourself as a guest at heart!Could it be that the host, Xu Wenjue, and the others haven't arrived yet?Are you here early?

Tao Xin and the others stepped forward and reported Wu Shigong's identity, they may have already said hello, and several young maids came to greet him immediately.The maids from Meilou who came to welcome him seemed to be well-trained, that is to say, Wu Shigong was dressed in a short robe with a little surprise in their eyes, and then smiled and said, "Mr., please go inside."

After the Ming Dynasty, Wu Shigong never had the opportunity to go to brothels.The only occasions when he acted on the spot were either officials' banquets or the arrangements of the gentry he made friends with.It can be said that she was either ignored like Manling at that time, or she was completely held up to do whatever she wanted, and went to the brothel in a serious manner according to the procedures of the Ming Dynasty at that time. It was really the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair.

Wu Shigong didn't dare to be rude, he smiled at those maidservants, these girls were all thirteen or fourteen years old, originally Wu Shigong was worried that these maidservants would come over enthusiastically, how should he respond.But his worry was obviously superfluous, these maids were very measured, which made Wu Shigong feel very comfortable.

Wu Shigong casually asked the maid in front, "Have the princes of Wei Guogong come?"

The servant girl smiled generously and replied: "Your Majesty, they are all ready, just waiting for the arrival of the master." But this answer made Wu Shigong frown again.It made him lose interest in talking.

The place for entertaining guests in Meilou is very deep.The maids led Wu Shigong to walk quietly.Wu Shigong carefully admired the scenery on both sides.Although Meilou is a building, it is actually a large-scale courtyard. The rockery, flowers and trees in the courtyard are all arranged with ingenuity, which is pleasing to the eye and makes people feel very comfortable.

And when you walk into the building, the decorations inside are complicated, and it can be seen that the people who arranged them put a lot of effort into it.But for Wu Shigong who is now preoccupied with getting into Qian's eyes, the ornaments he saw couldn't help but think of Qian.In modern times, these ornaments should all be antiques.

But this kind of arrangement is indeed elegant, Wu Shigong feels that it is better than the arrangement in his modern nightclub.However, there is nothing to decorate in modern nightclubs. The rooms are so dark that you can't see anything!

Finally, he did not completely lose his etiquette. Outside the reception room, Ma Shouxinshou, who was notified, greeted Wu Shigong at the door.After the two of them saluted and politely, Ma Shouxin welcomed Wu Shigong into the room.

There were already five or six young men sitting in the room, and Ma Shouxin began to introduce Wu Shigong one by one.First of all, of course, Xu Wenjue, the son of Wei Guogong.While saluting to Xu Wenjue, Wu Shigong looked at Xu Wenjue, and found that he was older than himself, handsome and handsome, but he had a good appearance.

In fact, while Wu Shigong was sizing up, Xu Wenjue was also sizing up Wu Shigong. Seeing Wu Shigong's rough, unattractive appearance, and wearing short robes like shame, he felt a little more contempt for Wu Shigong in his heart.Xu Wenjue also felt sorry for arranging Liu Rushi to accompany Wu Shigong today. Wasn't that a bully chewing peonies and not understanding the style?

If it weren't for the money spent by Ma Shouxin, who was wronged, maybe Xu Wenjue would immediately trade it to Wu Shigong.However, Xu Wenjue has a good upbringing after all, so there is still no abnormality on the surface.

Then Ma Shouxin introduced those accompanying guests to Wu Shigong, such as the third son of the Shangshu family; and the fifth young master of the Hou Ye family.Anyway, Wu Shigong couldn't remember so much, he just saluted one by one with due courtesy.

However, the reaction of those accompanying guests was not as good as Xu Wenjue's. Some people were a little perfunctory when they returned the gift.Of course Wu Shigong also observed this, but Wu Shigong could only pretend not to see it.Have no idea!People are poor and short-sighted!
