The teahouse culture is similar to the cultural center for socializing and making a living for scholars, and it can be seen in all kinds of activities. After all, who cares about this cup of tea, there are still some miscellaneous things.

Hearing Concubine Wan Gui's words, Chu Mingkong recalled it for a while, as if he had sent a poem to Jinyu and her dog queen mother to flatter her, and this matter could still reach Concubine Wan Gui's ears...

"This... the times are different. Back then, Xiling was stable, but recently it has been affected by turmoil. During the performance of martial arts alone, Buddhist monks sat in the street for a long time, and it was all affected. If this is the case, I will Find some fun for the two mothers and concubines, do you want to see selling characters or something?"

He thought that selling paintings is fine, anyway, now that he has plenty of filial piety points, he can be proficient in any show he wants to watch, and it's no problem to chop a fork.

Bomei's mother smiled, not shabby!

Concubine Chu also looked around, imagining the peak flow of people here, some literati writing poems here, and then Chu Mingkong drinking tea here, and silently memorizing the scene, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became...

"That's not right. Xiling is not a place with a prosperous cultural background. It took decades to produce a single literati and scholar. How come there are so many wonderful poems for you to steal? And you used to be more in frontier fortresses. That is to say, during the time when your Master Zuo accompanied you to play around, you often wandered around in various cities, could it be that in those one or two years, all the elegant writers from all over the world came to Xiling, and they all happened to recite a poem for you?"

"Ahem!" Chu Mingkong pretended not to hear Princess Chu's question, pretended to be confused and skipped the topic, and said, "In my opinion, it's good to tell a story, what do you two think?"

Concubine Wan Gui nodded: "Yes~"

Princess Chu didn't intend to delve into it, anyway, it doesn't matter where Chu Mingkong got the poem from.Before the reconciliation, she heard that Chu Mingkong could write a few lines of wonderful poems, so she was unwilling to believe that this guy could be so good. Now her mentality is different. As long as it is an advantage, no matter whether it is true or not, she thinks it should appear In a son, he can be as good as he is perfect.

Compared with these suspicious places, she was more concerned that her good son actually sent poems of praise to the queen of the capital!

Princess Chu really wanted to ask this in detail, but felt that it was not good to change the topic now, so she agreed:

"Then tell the story."

Chu Mingkong pondered for a while what kind of stories that are more mature and not silly are suitable for telling now. After searching in his mind, he found that there are really few stories of this type.

"Like a Shadow Chasing 〇"...Although it is aimed at mature women, it is more suitable for listening to my wife Shen Xuejun.

It's not good to keep them waiting for a long time, so Chu Mingkong had no choice but to determine the stories he could think of first, then slow down his speech, and make changes blindly according to the worldview.

"I'll tell you a story called "The Beautiful Legend of the Mississippi"..."

The original story of this story is a movie about a boy secretly in love with a wife and a widow.

The core of the story is heavy, but the superficial story is relatively simple.A beautiful, sexy, seductive widow whose husband goes missing in the army, and a teenage boy.The woman was favored by many men in the town because of her beauty, so she was rumored by a bunch of gossip women as an adulterous and promiscuous roast chicken, but in the first half of the story, this woman was a chaste woman who kept herself clean.

The climax of the story is the transformation of the woman's situation.Gradually, everyone in the town rejected this beautiful widow. Everyone felt that she had a bad character. Even her natal father felt ashamed for having such a daughter, which affected the reputation of his teacher.As for the widow in this situation, no one in the town is willing to sell her anything, and her job is gone. She can't even survive on food and clothing, and she is slandered by the moral women in the town... Forced to use her body Hooked up with men in exchange for food, and later experienced some changes in the times, the widow was torn up by moral women, dragged her into the street to criticize her lowliness.

It wasn't until her husband who joined the army and defended the country returned to the town that this woman was redeemed and rehabilitated.The role played by the male lead in this story is more of an observational perspective to look at this woman's experience, from falling in love with the widow secretly, using her as a target for punching, to sympathizing with the widow's experience, and imagining herself coming forward to help this woman.But until the end of the story, the only thing he did was muster up the courage to write an anonymous letter to the widow's husband, telling him about the whereabouts of the widow, and asking him to bring her back.

"When I heard this story, I was thinking, this woman has been hurt, is it still useful to be redeemed and rehabilitated?

If I were this boy, wouldn't it be better to cut off all this from the beginning, approach her, give her food, accept her, and be her reliance?Maybe I became that immoral person, but at least the woman I secretly love in my heart can avoid all the harm later. "

Chapter 260 Four Before Leaving

The author of this story is using the widow to refer to the blame his country has suffered, and through the boy's psychological perspective, he expresses a kind of "No matter how many women I have seen, I always feel for myself in my heart." The widow who first loves and secretly loves keeps a place", that is, the emotion of "I have always loved my country".

It’s just that Chu Mingkong didn’t feel deeply about this kind of far-reaching thing from the film. At that time, he focused more on the life experience of the widow. He was not satisfied with that result. The end of the story seemed to be redemption. ,Successful.

But what Chu Mingkong remembers most clearly is the confidence, radiance, and beauty of the widow when she appeared on the stage, and at the end she cowered beside her husband, fearful, vicissitudes, and gloom.

Can this be called a happy ending?

"When I first heard this story, I was furious, but the little boy in the story seemed helpless, he had no ability to resist, and even had to rely on his parents for the most basic life.

I can only say that fortunately I am not him. When faced with many things, in addition to watching, I also joined in and tried to change the direction. "

After Chu Mingkong finished speaking, he took the catkins of the two beautiful women on the table.Being held by him in public like this, or doing it in front of each other, the sisters are a little uneasy and guilty.

But this is the son taking the initiative to hold their hands. Even if he may have to explain to Wanhua (Xiao Zhi) later, or even have a small quarrel, he cannot refuse his son.

The world view shown in this story, although Chu Mingkong has made some fine-tuning, is still strange and strange in the Tianji Empire, but this part was briefly mentioned by Chu Mingkong, interpreting it as "exotic customs", and Princess Chu and Concubine Wan Gui Didn't bother that much.

But the suffering experience of the widowed woman observed from the perspective of the boy gave them a bit of empathy.

Obviously, I have tried my best to do the best, and I have given and persevered from the bottom of my heart, but the fruit we have received is bitter, and I even have to endure the betrayal and neglect of my family...

The widow in the story was far away from them, but when Chu Mingkong said that the woman was finally dragged to the street by those gossips and low moral women, who tore up her clothes to criticize and scold her, the sense of despair of being a woman came over her face .

In the end, the husband "returns from the dead", proving the widow's innocence and giving her support, which seemed particularly ridiculous to Princess Chu and Concubine Wan Gui.

There can be suffering in the beauty of life, but it is the suffering before harvest, not the whole process of suffering.After being forced into prostitution by morality and being judged by morality, death is the best consolation for that woman.

Concubine Wan Gui was silent for a long time before recovering from the story. She didn't want the dullness in her heart to affect the atmosphere of getting along with her son, so she pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Mingkong, where did you hear such a bad story? The process is full of ups and downs. It's 'wonderful' enough, but it broke the mood of the listener... I thought you wanted to say it at first. It's the story of how a little boy got close to a widow."

"This possibility has to be found by the [-]th moderator..." Chu Mingkong said.

"What is that? The name of the study, why haven't you heard of it?" Concubine Wan Gui asked, she wanted to know everything she heard from her son.

"No, just talking casually. How does Concubine Xiao Pheasant feel?" Chu Mingkong saw that Princess Chu remained silent.

Princess Chu looked at the hand that Chu Mingkong was holding her, and only after she calmed down did she have the mood to speak.This story may be a little farther away from Concubine Wan Gui, but Concubine Chu's sense of substitution is much stronger.Especially when her husband disappeared and was forced to exchange her body for something, she felt her fists clenched tightly.

The woman's despair at that time almost echoed her, but Princess Chu was also glad that after her own experience, she found that the person who changed the dressing was actually Mingkong, and he just made such a scene just to anger her attitude. Misunderstand.She even now regrets that she didn't really work hard that night.

"I feel... not very good, although I feel that this story is carried out from the perspective of a boy's voyeurism and observation, and the author may have some other deep meaning, but as a woman, I can't like this story anyway.

This kind of story sounds like those written by those pedantic and pedantic scholars who claim to be noble, telling others that no matter how humiliated a woman is, as long as she sticks to women's morality, she can be redeemed in the end. "

This is not the case, if it was written by Confucian scholars and scholars of Tianji Empire, then the story should end very early, after all, "It's a small matter for a woman to starve to death, but a big thing for injustice."

Chu Mingkong could understand Princess Chu's anger at the moment, and comforted him:

"It's just a story, just listen to it, and I also hated it when I heard this story when I was a child, so if something like this really happens, I will definitely stop it."

Concubine Wan Gui felt warm in her heart, and said with a smile:

"What kind of stories are you just listening to, and where did you hear them? No one is serious!"

Chu Mingkong almost subconsciously said Xiling Teahouse, but when he realized that he was in the teahouse, he changed his words:

"It's said by the unscrupulous old people fishing by the river. Those old things only want to teach a simple child like me to be bad."

What Princess Chu thought was, if what Ming Kong said was true, could it be the story told by this old man that made Ming Kong admire older women since he was a child... not to mention admiration , at least not disgusted?Then he cast his gaze on her.

If this is the case, then I really have to thank this old man for his "unintentional cultivation" of Ming Kong!

When Princess Chu was in a trance, Concubine Wan Gui joked:

"Mingkong has been listening to this kind of story since he was a child, and he has learned a little bit badly. Didn't he also stare at some other woman's wife when he was a child?"

Without this condition, he spends more time in the frontier of the abyss, so why are there so many tender and tender young women for him to peek at?Observe the Jiyuan fierce beast secretly, and then spend more time beating his eggs.

"no!"

"...Really?" Princess Chu asked, she had so much hope, and heard that her son was peeking at her when she was a child, and her figure occupied Ming Kong's childhood scene.

"Really not! Who can I peek at? There are no female soldiers on the frontier of Jiyuan. If you really want to say that, it's peeking at my master... It seems that I didn't peek at my master."

Master Zuo Qiuchi really doesn’t need to peek. If Chu Mingkong wants to see it, he can tell her directly: I’ll show you my belly, and master, you can also show me yours.

Concubine Chu was a little disappointed. In her heart, the relationship between herself and Ming Kong when she was a child was indeed impossible, but she was somewhat hopeful.

The afternoon gradually ended, and there were more people. Chu Mingkong thought it was about time to take them back to Tianyalou.

On the way back, Chu Mingkong suddenly said:

"Mother Concubine Wanhua, Concubine Xiaozhi, I have set a time for my return to the capital. I will leave early in the morning the day after tomorrow. I will accompany you two nights before leaving."

The hearts of the two beautiful young women froze, their delicate bodies froze, and there were only two nights left...?

Chapter 260 The fifth chapter is enough money, make it hard

After Chu Mingkong sent Concubine Wan Gui and Princess Chu back to the main pavilion of Tianya Tower, he sat with them for a while, then got up and left, and went back to Qingxin Mansion.

"Then I'll leave first, and I'll come back later to accompany the two concubines!"

After he left Tianya Tower, the two beautiful young women lacked interest. Concubine Wan Gui said she was tired in the afternoon and went back to her boudoir to rest, while Concubine Chu sat in front of the file and picked up the notebook waiting to be processed, but she didn't care to deal with it.

When I read a few words, my mind was distracted, and I forced myself to read a few lines seriously, and then I felt bored, so I put down the notebook and looked out the window absent-mindedly.

She knew in her heart that Ming Kong still had to leave, and she felt that she had already made preparations in her heart, but for some reason, it was difficult to treat him calmly when she heard him talk about the specific time of departure this time.

Emotionally, he is very reluctant and wants to stay, but rationally understands that he has something to do and should not interfere.

Under the tangled thoughts, Princess Chu lay on the desk with her forehead resting on her arms.

She looked at her heart in surprise, feeling a little strange, this kind of reluctance to someone was something she had never experienced before...

The first parting that Princess Chu experienced in her life was when she was married to Xiling. After such a long distance, she was going to a strange place. Anxiety about unfamiliar surroundings.

Afterwards, I experienced many things. Even if I let my daughter go away to study as a teacher, I never said that I had such a strong feeling of reluctance for anyone. I never thought that I would have such a strong feeling for my other son...

She slowly stood up, took out the note that Chu Mingkong gave her, and wrote on it:

"Mingkong, since the time to leave is so close, how about coming to Tianya Building to spend more time with my concubine during the day? Tonight, my concubine also wants you to come earlier."

------------

Chu Mingkong was making preparations before leaving.

Going back this time is no better than when I came here, and I can get a "free ride", but now I have to rely on my own real money when I go back.

Naturally, there are means of transportation such as floating boats and spaceships in the Xiling Treasury, but this kind of thing will not become "fuel-efficient" just because the boat is owned by the family.

But burning spirit stones is still easy to talk about. Chu Mingkong took out some garbage and sold it to Xianzhen Pavilion, so the preparatory work was more to confirm whether the floating boat was damaged or not, so as to ensure that it could reach the destination smoothly.

But professional work has to be handled by professionals. Chu Mingkong arrested a few elders who specialize in floating boat refining as coolies, and sat by himself as a supervisor, urging them to work quickly.

"Things sent to the capital, minus the wind and rain obstacles that may be encountered on the road, should be in place within a day or two, right?" Chu Mingkong muttered, sensing a spiritual fluctuation in a paper post.

He was startled, could it be that the reply came from the truth, could it be from Yunhan's side?

Chu Mingkong rummaged through the paper posts, found the fluctuating one, and found that it belonged to Princess Chu. After reading the contents, he realized that he wanted him to spend more time with them these two days.

No, it's not them. Princess Chu probably meant to spend more time with her...

"Do you want me to stay with them until the morning when I leave tonight?" Chu Mingkong thought about the "Royal Reception Day" he experienced before leaving the capital.

Could this be a repeat.

He just returned a "good" past, and Concubine Wan Gui also sent a note message, which roughly meant to go to Tianya Tower to accompany her earlier.

Well, now it's really "them".

Chu Mingkong also replied "good" to Concubine Wan Gui.

"Your Excellency Zuo, these floating boats are fine, which one do you plan to use then?" The elder came over and said, pointing to the floating boats in front of him.

However, the floating boats he was referring to were not of the best specification. Chu Mingkong looked at the bigger and better floating boats in the distance, the floating boats containing Zuo Qiuchi and Fengying, how could they be shabby?
