house.

The apricot red decoration is a bit harsh, and the ancients liked this tone.

But in the middle of this large red field, a green lotus sitting in front of the tea table makes people feel a sense of dementorship.

I saw Xiao Zhouhou wearing an emerald green dress, revealing an indescribable sense of enchantment in the dignified appearance, the green silk was draped, only tied with an emerald hairband, and the emerald color shirt set off Xiao Zhouhou's skin was more pink, it was beautiful, the phoenix eyes were rippling, but the autumn water was continuous, swaying people's hearts, and the lips were like cherry blossoms, which led people to infinite reverie.

Xiao Zhouhou himself is very beautiful, and under the careful dressing, he looks even more beautiful, Wang Chen looked a little stupid for a while, and he finally understood why King Zhou You wanted to let Yang Guifei ride the red dust concubine and laugh.

Maybe that's why the red face and the water are coming from this.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat. Xiao Zhouhou smiled and stretched out his hand.

Listening to the numb voice of Huang Ying in his ears, Wang Chen's heartbeat jumped suddenly, he felt a little out of shape, mumbled to cover it up, and then sat down in the opposite position from Xiao Zhouhou, and did not talk nonsense, and went directly to the topic: "What is the important matter for Mrs. Zheng Guo to come down?"

Xiao Zhouhou glanced at him and said, "Can't I find you to catch up with the past?"

Reoccupiing?

Wang Chen smiled dumbly, he always felt that something was wrong with Xiao Zhouhou, the women in the early Song Dynasty were more open, unlike women who were confined to the boudoir after Cheng Zhu Lixue appeared later.

How open were ancient women?

In fact, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China, people did not regard the matter of sex boudoir as private, and could talk about it openly, even when discussing state affairs in the court.

In the Han Dynasty, sex was regarded as a private matter for men and women, and it was not discussed publicly, but it was not regarded as a scandal; In the Tang Dynasty, sexual customs were more open.

It was only after the prevalence of the Song Dynasty that Chinese society implemented its 800-year sexual confinement and sexual closure, but it was also forbidden to go up, ostensibly forbidden but actually unforgiving.

Nowadays, the atmosphere of the early Song Dynasty is still relatively similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, but no matter how open it is, the cheating rate is not high, and not every woman is a princess of Taiping.

The history records that Xiao Zhouhou was also a martyr woman.

How can you think when you see yourself? It's not realistic!

Wang Chen didn't feel that he was so handsome that he could charm the mother of the former Southern Tang Kingdom, so there was only one possibility, the other party had other plans, and he didn't know what to do, he smiled and said: "Yes, but aren't you afraid that the Venerable Husband will be angry if he knows?"

Speaking of Li Yu, Xiao Zhouhou's eyes were gloomy for a moment, and then he resumed his smile, "How can he go out so easily, he can only leave the deep courtyard when the Queen Mother summons the slave family or the emperor summons him." ”

Indeed, although he was sealed for disobedience, he was placed under house arrest in disguise, which is normal, Wang Chen suddenly thought of the poem "Seeing Huan" written by Li Yu or Meng Chang, because this poem only shows that it was written by the "Hou Lord", Meng Chang and Li Yu are both Hou Lord, even if the ancients are studying who wrote it, but more people tend to be Li Yu, Wang Chen sighed: "Yes, go up to the West Building alone without a word, the moon is like a hook." Lonely Wutong deep courtyard, lock Qingqiu. ”

Xiao Zhou was stunned for a moment, and said in a loud voice: "What a beautiful poem, but why do I feel that it is a residual sentence?

Uh, haven't you heard?

Wang Chen was stunned, so to speak, this poem should have been written by Li Yu, and it is very likely that it has not been written now, after all, not long after being captured, he smacked his lips and said: "Yes, the second half of the sentence is like this: cut constantly, the reason is still messy, it is sorrowful." Don't be a general taste, in the heart. ”

"Cut constantly, the reason is still messy, is it sorrow, don't be a general taste, in my heart?" Xiao Zhouhou's eyes became hazy, as if he had been touched by something sentimental in his heart.

After a long time, she sighed softly, "The poems of the palace marshal are really extraordinary, I have to write them down." ”

Immediately, Xiao Zhou Hou called Xiao Xiao, took pen and ink, and implored Wang Chen to write this poem by himself.

Wang Chen stole the calligraphy skills of the famous calligrapher Li Jianzhong, but he did not have stage fright, he wrote it down in one go, and finally stamped a sign.

Li Jianzhong's calligraphy is not less than the four major calligraphers of the Northern Song Dynasty, when Wang Chen wrote it down, Xiao Zhouhou immediately clapped his hands and said: "Good words! good calligraphy! ”

The Four Uniques of the Song Dynasty?

Wang Chen suddenly thought of the Four Uniques of the Heavenly Dragon, and said in his heart that it was not a matter of the Northern Song Dynasty, he smiled and said: "False praise, false praise." ”

"The slave family does not praise falsely, but sincerely. When Xiao Zhouhou said this, he also deliberately pointed to the location of his heart.

She was dressed a little revealingly, this move was a little ambiguous, Wang Chen looked at it, her eyes were straight, "Thank you, Mrs. Zheng Guo, for your appreciation." ”

While speaking, Xiao Zhou got up and lifted her skirt, looking very charming, she came to Wang Chen with a gentle step and sat down slowly, an arm like a jade arm was on Wang Chen's shoulder, and she blew: "Is it still called Mrs. Zheng Guo?"

The hot aroma in her mouth came to her face, Wang Chen's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and she always felt that Xiao Zhouhou was seducing herself, so she couldn't help swallowing her saliva and said, "Why did Madam say this?"

Xiao Zhou got closer and closer, and she could almost feel the warm body temperature in her light emerald clothes, her face slowly approached, and her red lips were close at hand, "Do you remember what I said to the palace marshal before?"

Not to mention this, Wang Chen almost forgot.

At the beginning, Xiao Zhouhou once said that if Wang Chen could save her, in addition to offering Li Yu's treasure worth millions of yuan with both hands, he was willing to let himself do anything.

Self-help is normal.

After all, no one wants to be a "prisoner" for the rest of their lives.

may even lose her life at any time, because she is the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

It's just that Wang Chen thinks it's strange that in the historical records, after Zhao Guangyi became the emperor and wanted to play with Xiao Zhou, why didn't she agree?

If you honestly obey Zhao Guangyi, it seems that you can also make a living.

Wang Chen thought about it carefully and felt that there was only one possibility, Zhao Er disrespected Xiao Zhouhou, and purely treated her as a plaything, otherwise how could he still let the painter draw a picture of the Spring Palace on the side, so stooping down and enduring humiliation, in the end there was no good end, it was better to fall into the name of a chaste martyr.

But I am different, whether it was when I first met, or now, at least I have a lot of respect for Xiao Zhouhou on the surface, so it is natural that Xiao Zhouhou is willing to dedicate himself to self-help.

It is false to say that he is not moved by such a big beauty, this woman is so beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people feel thrilled, the problem is that if Wang Chen really takes down Xiao Zhouhou, I am afraid that he will become the laughing stock of the world, and the loss of reputation is a bit big, unless he secretly acts as a lover and finally finds a way to kill Li Yu.

Well, even if Wang Chen doesn't like Li Yu, he also didn't want to kill the other party, Li Yu is too famous in history, he still appreciates it in his heart, and hopes that the other party will make more excellent poems.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Chen decided not to provoke Xiao Zhou for the time being, and gently pushed it away and said, "Madam, please respect yourself." ”

Xiao Zhouhou was very disappointed, she originally thought that no one could resist with her own beauty, but she didn't expect Wang Chen to refuse, so she had to sit upright and say: "Doesn't the palace marshal like the slave family?"

As soon as Wang Chen wanted to speak, there was a commotion outside!

"Where is she?"

"Li Hou, I saw my wife and a man enter the same room with my own eyes. ”

After hearing the voice, Xiao Zhou's face changed, and he said in a panic: "Why did he get out of the house? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Wang Chen was very calm, and he could hear that the voice outside was Li Yu, although it was not good for him and Xiao Zhouhou to be in the same room with a lonely man and widow, but he would not let people find out at all, and he could leave here with a casual teleportation.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, Xiao Zhouhou hurriedly said: "There is Lao Dianshuai who bends down and hides under the table, otherwise he will be discovered by my officials......"

Wang Chen couldn't cry or laugh, "What are you hiding? I ......"

Maybe the footsteps were getting closer and closer, Xiao Zhouhou was about to cry, and grabbed Wang Chen's arm and pulled it under the table, "Please, the palace marshal! When my official is gone, let's continue to talk about business, okay? I still have something to ask the palace marshal, please!"

Okay.

Looks like you do have something to say.

Wang Chen didn't refuse again, squatted down and got under the table.

The tea table here is not the same as the ordinary Four Immortals table, there is a tablecloth hanging down on the table, if you don't open it, you won't find anyone underneath, of course, there is no light, it's pitch black, and you can't see anything clearly.

The only thing I could see clearly was Xiao Zhouhou's small feet as white as snow, without socks and shoes.

Seeing this, Wang Chen was completely stunned, not that he was attracted by the jade feet of others, but he finally understood how determined Xiao Zhou was to see him today, and all aspects were in place, especially in terms of etiquette.

Many people may not understand why Xiao Zhou saw himself barefoot after the ceremony.

Because not everyone could wear socks in ancient times, socks themselves had more attributes of social class, and the wearing of socks in ancient times also had their own etiquette norms. In the Zhou Dynasty, when the ministers saw the king, they had to take off their socks before they could enter the court. If you are with an elder or someone of higher status than yourself, then you can't wear socks. It's a sign of respect for an elder or someone with a higher status than oneself in socks.

There is a story recorded in the "Zuo Biography", which says that when Wei Hou was in power, he invited a group of colleagues to drink, and a person named Zhushi Shengzi was also invited to the table. When the masters came in, Wei Hou looked at his feet, and when he saw that the other party was wearing a pair of socks, he couldn't help but be angry.

It turned out that there was a rule at that time that everyone who entered the house had to take off their shoes and put them at the door before they could enter the house.

Although the teachers vigorously argued: This is because he has rotten sores on his feet, and he is afraid that others will gag when he takes off his socks, but he is still not forgiven by Wei Hou. Fortunately, the masters fled quickly, otherwise even their feet would have been cut off.

It can be seen that the ancients attached great importance to the etiquette of taking off their socks and going to the table, and this custom continued until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

When this custom finally ended, the history books did not clearly explain. As far as the relevant data is concerned, it should be before Tang Xuanzong. There is a record in the "New Tang Dynasty Book: The Biography of Li Bai", which says that the great poet Li Bai despised the nobles, drank in front of Xuanzong, and "made Gao Lishi take off his boots" when he was drunk. This shows that at that time, the courtiers could not only wear socks, but also wear boots, and there was no longer a custom of taking off socks to show respect.

But Xiao Zhou did it later, very retro, obviously showing enough respect for himself!

Wang Chen's heart moved, and he couldn't help but sigh that this woman was thoughtful, not to mention, she was still a talented woman who was familiar with history and knew allusions.

Beautiful, well-figured, educated, and smart, such a woman is rare in the world.

Just as I was sighing, there was a loud "bang"!

Needless to say, the door of the box was kicked open from the outside!

Sure enough, the next moment, Li Yu's angry voice came, "Slut! Where did you hide the adulterer!?"

Sweat!

During the day, buddy asked you to straighten the cuckold, but now you haven't cuckolded you, and you pressed it yourself?

Wang Chen, who was hiding under the table, couldn't cry or laugh, but he also understood Li Yu's mood, just imagine, what would any man feel if he heard that his wife was dating another man alone? I'm afraid that he has the mood to kill.

If it is found that it is a tryst between himself and Xiao Zhouhou, Wang Chen dares to say with certainty that Li Yu dares to be angry and dare not speak, in history, Zhao Erqiang Xiao Zhouhou Li Yu swallowed his anger, and Wang Chen's current rights are no worse than Zhao Er's in history, and Li Yu's soft temperament must be the same.

However, with so many people staring at the teahouse, his reputation must be ruined.

Ordinary people are probably worried at this time, and it is normal for the ancients to respect their names.

Although Wang Chen also has a reputation, he is not afraid of being discovered by Li Yu, so he really can't use teleportation to leave.

Eh, having said that, Xiao Zhouhou's pair of jade feet are quite good-looking, even if they may be discovered at any time, Wang Chen couldn't help but reach out and touch them.
