Smuggling Daming

While Zhou Zhong was staying at home and thinking about which novel to write, Xie Lingyun was sitting on a large chair in casual clothes in the study room of the Xie Mansion that he had just visited this afternoon, holding a soft brocade quilt in her arms, She was looking down at the manuscript of Journey to the West that Zhou Zhong had just delivered today, while her little maid, Suanzhu, was waiting on her side.

Apart from Xie Lingyun's master and servant in the study, on the chair opposite to them, a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face was sitting there, her face was full of respect, and she didn't dare to disturb Xie Lingyun at all.

After finally waiting for Xie Lingyun to put down the manuscript in her hand, she picked up the teacup next to her and took a sip of tea, then she raised her head and said to the middle-aged woman sitting in front of her: "Aunt Shui, how is the investigation of the things I entrusted to you today, Zhou What is the reason for re-borrowing money?"

Hearing Xie Lingyun's question, the middle-aged woman named Aunt Shui immediately leaned over and replied: "Miss Qi, Zhou Zhong took the housekeeper to another courtyard after borrowing money from Miss today!"

"The other courtyard!" Xie Lingyun frowned slightly when she heard the name, and a look of disgust flashed across her face, "What did he go there for? As far as I know, Zhou Zhong doesn't seem to be raising women in the other courtyard?"

"Miss does not know that Zhou Zhong did not raise a woman in another courtyard, but his housekeeper did raise a woman in another courtyard for nearly ten years, but he has no money to redeem her. It is a coincidence , when the Zhou family just went bankrupt, that woman named Su Niang happened to be pregnant..."

This woman named Aunt Shui told the reason why Zhou Zhong and Steward Xu went to the other courtyard. She even knew about the fact that the second son of the Song Dynasty bought the madam Qiu's mother. As for the transaction between Zhou Zhong and Qiu's mother today, and Afterwards, Aunt Shui also knew the matter of the second son Song fainting in anger, as if she had seen everything with her own eyes.

Xie Lingyun was very calm at the beginning, but when she heard Zhou Zhong intentionally said that his relationship with her was extremely intimate, no matter how deep her city was, she couldn't help but blush, the little maid standing behind her At this time, Suanzhu complained for his young lady: "This Zhou Zhong is really bold, he dares to make up and make up the name of the dirty lady, I think it's better to let Uncle Hei cut his tongue, so as not to talk nonsense."

"Miss, the abacus is right. That Zhou Zhong is too bold. I think it's better for someone to teach him a lesson, so that he won't be able to control his mouth in the future!" Aunt Shui also said at this time, if it wasn't for Xie Lingyun If she had been told before that she was only in charge of scouting for information and could not act on her own, she would have been given a severe lesson by someone.

Hearing Suanzhu and Aunt Shui's words, Xie Lingyun showed an indifferent smile, stretched out her hand to caress the manuscript of Journey to the West in front of her and said, "Zhou Zhong is not an ordinary person. Without my order, no one can touch him, and from what he wrote From Journey to the West, it can be seen that he is a lawless and bold maniac, even against heaven, what else is he afraid to do?"

When Xie Lingyun spoke the last few sentences, she saw her head tilted up slightly, and her eyes showed a bit of confusion. She always prided herself on her ability to recognize people. No matter what kind of person, as long as she met once, she immediately She can judge the character and general thoughts of the other party, which is also the biggest honor for her to be undefeated in the mall, but since she met Zhou Zhong, she has been mistaken time and time again, and now although she has roughly figured out Zhou Zhong He has a serious personality, but he can't figure out what this person is thinking?

The next morning, Zhou Zhong got up from the bed, washed up in a daze, and ran around the yard for a few laps. Then he opened the paper on the desk and started writing a book. Last night he thought of what he was going to write. After the book, because it was a bit late and I was tired all day yesterday, I didn't start writing.

Zhou Zhong sat down behind the desk, rubbed the ink, then stretched his wrist, then picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink, and then wrote three large characters on the paper with a lewd smile—" Jin Ping Mei

That’s right, Zhou Zhong thought about it for a long time yesterday, and finally came up with a novel comparable to Journey to the West, that is the famous Jin Ping Mei. Although the reputation of this book is not very good, it is actually the pioneering work of the world novel. The writing style of Dream of Red Mansions in the future was largely influenced by Jin Ping Mei, and if the obscene descriptions in Jin Ping Mei were removed, it would also be a great work comparable to Red Mansions.

Of course, Zhou Zhong didn't pay much attention to the literary quality of Jin Ping Mei. What he valued most was actually the obscene descriptions that were regarded as dross. The ancient people were not as old-fashioned as the later generations imagined. On the one hand, ancient people may be more open than later generations.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, although Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was very popular, on the contrary, all kinds of pornographic books were also very popular, such as those pious scholar-bureaucrats who read Spring and Autumn at their desks during the day and watched Erotic Palace by their beds at night.Tang Bohu, who was frustrated in the imperial examination, supported himself by painting ** for others.

It is precisely the social atmosphere that all kinds of pornographic books were popular in the Ming Dynasty. Literate people liked to read pornographic novels such as Monk Dengcao, and those who could not read would buy a few passports to increase the fun of the boudoir.For example, after Zhou Zhong was reborn, he dug out a copy of the most widely circulated book, Monk Dengcao, from under his bed.Even Zhou Zhong, who used to have a staid personality, has such novels in his possession, which shows that pornographic books are widely circulated in this era.

Zhou Zhong knew all of the above, so he decided to write Jin Ping Mei. Anyway, there is no need to worry about this kind of book being banned. Moreover, as Jin Ping Mei is so exciting, as long as it is published, it will definitely attract countless people, and its influence may even exceed journey to the west.In addition, Zhou Zhong also wanted to see what kind of expression she would have when he showed Xie Lingyun the manuscript of Jin Pingmei?

Thinking of that Ms. Xie, who is always calm and strong, reading pornographic novels in front of him, Zhou Zhong felt a perverted pleasure, and this pleasure also made him more motivated when writing books, and he felt like a godsend when he started writing. , soon not only finished the first chapter of Jin Ping Mei, but even half of the second chapter.

However, when Zhou Chong was writing excitedly, he suddenly heard a burst of cheerful running sounds from the yard, and then the house was suddenly pushed away, and a small figure rushed in. When he saw Zhou Zhong, he rushed forward and said: "Brother, why didn't you go to have breakfast?"

"Wow~" Before Zhou Zhong could answer, the white ball stood at the door and poked its head in, and then yelled at him twice, but when Zhou Zhong glanced at the white ball, it immediately hid outside the yard whimpering in fright.

"Is it already noon?" Zhou Zhong hugged Duo'er, put down his pen and looked at the sky outside, only to find that he was too engrossed in writing, the sun has already risen high, and it's not long before noon It's time.

In his previous life, Zhou Zhong’s jobs were generally shady, and a lot of jobs were done at night, such as smuggling, watching the scene, etc., which also made him develop the habit of sleeping during the day and resting at night, especially he dislikes getting up in the morning , so he told Aunt Wang before that if he didn't go to eat in the morning, then he didn't have to call him.

At this moment, Zhou Zhong heard footsteps coming from the yard outside. Now Zhou Zhong could distinguish the footsteps of everyone in the family, so he knew that Bracelet was coming.At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he saw the manuscript on the table, he was startled immediately, put Duo'er down hastily, and then packed up the manuscript and stuffed it under the bed as quickly as possible.

In the past, every time he finished writing a manuscript, Zhuo'er was the first reader, but now this Jin Ping Mei, which is not suitable for children, can't be seen by Zhuo'er, otherwise he, as an older brother, would be ashamed to face others.Duo'er was a little strange about her brother's behavior, and looked at him with her little head tilted. After Zhou Zhong hid the manuscript, she turned around and whispered to Duo'er: "Duo'er, those manuscripts cannot be seen by my sister. Don't tell her, okay?"

"Why?" Duo'er asked with her big watery eyes open.

"Because...because..." Zhou Zhong was at a loss for words, he really didn't know what to say, he couldn't explain to a four-year-old girl what a pornographic novel is, right?

"Because my brother is going to give my sister a gift here, but I don't want her to know for now, so Duo'er, can you help my brother keep this secret for the time being?" Zhou Zhong suddenly had a flash of inspiration.This trick to coax the little girl was something he saw on TV in his later life.

"Oh, Duo'er understands, brother wants to give sister a surprise." Duo'er nodded obediently, trying to put on an expression that I understood, "Okay, then Duo'er will help brother keep it a secret, But brother, you have to promise Duo'er, and give Duo'er such a surprise gift in the future!"

"Okay! No problem!" Zhou Zhong stretched out his little finger and pulled La Duoer's little hand as a hook.

"Brother, tomorrow is the winter solstice. Mother said she wants to eat dumplings, but there is no flour at home. I want you or Uncle Xu to go out and buy some!" Biao'er's slender figure walked into Zhou Zhong's room, and the sun shone from behind her. Shooting it, it coated the bracelet with a layer of holy light, adding a bit of temperament.

Songjiang Mansion belongs to the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River, where people eat glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice, but Zhou Zhong’s father, Zhou Hai, moved from the north, so the customs still retain the characteristics of the northerners. For example, they eat dumplings during the winter solstice and the Spring Festival. Flour in the south is much more expensive than rice, and southerners are not used to eating pasta, so few people have flour at home.

"Okay, I just want to eat dumplings too. This afternoon, Steward Xu and I went to buy some!" Zhou Zhong liked to eat dumplings in his previous life, and now he hasn't eaten them for such a long time, and he misses them very much.But then he thought of another thing, thought for a while and said to Biao'er, "Biao'er, last time I promised to help you prepare a unique gift for Xie Lingyun, it happened that she did me a favor yesterday, today I How about going to buy some materials and let's make the gift together?"
