Chapter 199 I don't like calligraphy and painting
Seeing that there was no one else, Zhong Zhen slapped Meng Laibao on the head, and no longer suppressed his voice and pretended to be a teenager, and spoke directly in his original voice, "You little bastard, you didn't recognize me at all, and you pretended to be so similar, I am your Aunt Zhong Zhen." ”
Meng Laibao was really clever, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately recovered, "Ah, it turned out that the seniors arrived, and the little one thought that he had taken some great luck, and he accidentally met a friend with a noble temperament who was like a relative of the emperor." ”
Zhong Zhen didn't bother to pay attention to his sycophants, and asked curiously, "Tell me, what's going on with your mother?" I was dressed as a teenager, but I looked fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and she was not too old, and she called herself a sister, and threw countless winks at me. Is your family doing some business in private, not seniors, I suspect it's too unseemly. ”
Meng Laibao smiled awkwardly, "The senior said that it was funny, don't worry about my mother, she is always a little crazy, she can't walk when she looks at the young man, and she acts in a daze." Having said that, the way you look, don't talk about my mother, even those lustful men outside, you have to look at them with your eyes. ”
"I'm dressed as a man, and I'm not a pretty big girl, why do men look at me?"
"Hey, you came out of that ravine, you don't understand this." Meng Laibao was very surprised, but his mind turned around, so he found a reason for Zhong Zhen on his own, "Yes, the seniors are originally women, of course they don't understand the affairs of these men." ”
After listening to Meng Laibao's explanation, Zhong Zhen finally figured out a lot.
It turns out that the people of Ningguo are very elegant, but those who have read the book for two days and know how to write and paint will be respected. Unlike the martial arts of Mongolia, the literati are more valued here.
Even if you are a cultivator, no matter how high your cultivation is, if you look strong and rude, you will definitely be looked down upon, and you will be laughed at as a country farmer.
Anyway, I don't know how many years it has been. Men who look like women are so popular that they are sought after not only by women, but also by men who want to include them in their beds.
Especially a passable teenager of Zhong Zhen's age, regardless of men and women. are very popular.
After listening to Meng Laibao's explanation for a long time, Zhong Zhen finally understood, where the strange road went, from time to time men looked at her with strange eyes, and she also met a man who robbed a man a few days ago.
She suddenly remembered Lu Tianyan, who was sent to the Flower Pavilion by Zixia Palace. Suddenly I laughed in my heart. Like him, he looks like a flower, delicate, how many men want to kiss Fangze!
Only then did Zhong Zhen understand why Zhu Ziling told him so much before parting. Zhu Ziling once said, whether you are pretending to be a man or a woman, don't look too good, so as not to cause trouble, it will be a little bit more or less, as long as you can blend into Zixia Palace.
She was still thinking that the big girl would be targeted by others if she was good-looking. What's the problem with pretending to be a slightly decent teenager, I didn't expect it to be the truth.
In this case, the reverse front can change its appearance, and then change back to women's clothing.
But when Meng Laibao continued to talk, Zhong Zhen suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to dress up as a woman.
It turns out that the man in Ningguo is still literate, so he is more subtle and has a lot of requirements for women's words and deeds. When the eldest girl goes out, she has to cover her face, and it is immoral to be seen. Poor families or peasant women in mountain villages are not particular about it, and they must pay attention to it if they have a little property. lest it be difficult to marry in the future.
In places such as restaurants and restaurants, women rarely appear. Zhong Zhen has to walk outside for a long time, which is really inconvenient.
"Senior, you rarely go out, do you? I don't understand anything. ”
"I'm concentrating on cultivation. How can you be like you all day long, and you don't understand, Zhong Zhen is just my pseudonym, but my real name can't be said to you. The rules of the hidden family are quite big, and it is not easy to come out. Zhong Zhen said nonsense, wanting to act in Ningguo. You have to follow someone who understands the local customs, but this Meng Laibao doesn't know whether it can be trusted or not.
She stayed for two days and found that the food was not the same as that of Mongolia, the plates were small and delicate, and the food was also not much, and she always felt that she was not too full after eating. In the morning, a bowl of gruel and two side dishes will be like nothing at all. I wanted to add two more bowls of porridge, but I found that they only prepared such a small amount.
Meng Laibao has several brothers and sisters, the courtyard is not big, but it is crowded, and the food is fixed every day, and there is no more food for her.
Zhong Zhen thought that he wouldn't stay long, so when he arrived, he set off immediately, and now he just learned a little about the daily customs of the locals.
On this day, she walked into the garden with Meng Laibao, and from a distance, a middle-aged scribe-like person sat in a pavilion, holding a book in a daze. For though this man had a book in his hand, his eyes were on heaven.
"That's my grandfather, the senior of the soul refining period, I used to see a courtesy, lest he scold me for not knowing etiquette."
Zhong Zhen already understood at this time that in Ningguo, "not knowing etiquette" would be looked down upon, so he was busy dressing up and went with Meng Laibao.
"Grandpa, I brought a friend to meet you, it's a distinguished guest."
"The seniors are polite, and it is really rude to bow to the seniors when I first come to your place." Zhong Zhen clasped his fists and saluted.
The middle-aged scribe had been looking at the sky in a daze, and he was not angry when he was disturbed, he lowered his head and looked at Meng Laibao, looked at him and asked, "Are you ...... Wen Zhong? ”
Meng Laibao smiled and said: "That's my father, I'm Noble Treasure, you forgot again, my father has been dead for more than ten years." ”
"Oh, Wen Zhong's sons, they have grown so big." Grandpa Meng thought about it, and it seemed that there was really such a thing. He had thirty or forty sons and daughters, and many great-grandchildren. Now that I'm older, I don't remember it much. Then he turned his head and looked at Zhong Zhen again, and his eyes lit up, "Hey, it's a handsome little brother, how old is he this year?" ”
"The seniors praised it falsely, and the juniors are fifteen years old this year."
Grandpa Meng took a few steps forward, came to Zhong Zhen's face, and suddenly stretched out his hand and held her hand, "This garden has nothing to see in winter, so it's better to go to my room, there are still a few passable calligraphy and paintings that can be glimpsed, all of which were collected in previous years." ”
Thinking of what Meng Laibao said about the customs of Ningguo, Zhong Zhen's face changed. This old man who has such a good qualification doesn't remember, just glance at it and ignore it, even forget that his son is dead, and when he sees a strange boy, he has to drag someone to the room to read calligraphy and paintings.
Meng Laibao was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that his grandfather was really getting older and more disagreeable, he hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed his grandfather's arm, and pulled Zhong Zhen's hand out. "Grandpa, we still have something to do, don't bother you, let's go first."
After that, he pulled Zhong Zhen's head and ran without looking back.
"Hey, don't be busy, I still have a few magic weapons, I don't like to look at calligraphy and paintings, you can look at magic weapons."
Don't say it's just a look, don't give it to me, Zhong Zhen ran with Meng Laibao as if he was burning his buttocks, "Your grandfather is an old pervert, so what kind of gift do you take me to see?" He almost dragged him to the room. ”
Meng Laibao also didn't expect that although he knew that his grandfather was out of tune, staring at the sky in a daze, and there were already dozens of concubines and several male pets, even his grandson's friends had to get involved.
At this moment, Zhong Zhen didn't even dare to go out of the door, the other party was a senior in the soul refining period, but fortunately, she had already released the messenger bird, and the help was almost there.
The first one to come was indeed Dong Huan, who had worked in the army, but he was relatively reliable. Compared to her own sweaty search for a place, Dong Huan held a detailed map of Daliang City in her hand, and found it without spending any effort.
He was followed by a cripple.
Zhong Zhen thought that if there was no Dong Huan, even if the cripple looked for a thousand years, he would not be able to find Meng Laibao's home.
Lai Bao Niang suddenly smiled again, the young man didn't hook up, and a middle-aged man with a cold temperament came. Although he doesn't smile, he looks good and manly.
Lying in front of Mu Lichou, Dong Huan and the lame man have nothing to say. And although this Brother Dong's cultivation is not so high, his brain is very good, and he has a very good way to fight and set up a battle. The most important thing is that he deceives people seriously, and Zhong Zhen feels that he has to learn from him.
When you come to Ningguo to do business, you can't go it alone, so you want these two safe and reliable.
After three days, there were two people who were not very safe and reliable, but Lu Jinyu and Xiao Cheng. This is also unthinkable, without the soul refining period by his side, he always feels unsafe.
Lu Jinyu is not a person who takes money to do things, and besides, everyone is familiar with the way, it is much better than a completely unfamiliar senior. Zhong Zhen didn't know how many spirit crystals Zhu Ziling gave, anyway, it was definitely not a small number.
It's just why did Xiao Cheng come along?
She pointed at Xiao Cheng and asked Lu Jinyu, "Why is he still following you, don't you like to be the leader?" ”
Lu Jinyu glanced at Zhong Zhen, "Although I don't like to be a leader, I don't like to be someone's errand runner even more." The surname Zhu said, this time you will take the lead, is it possible that I still have to bring tea, water, cooking, laundry, and Xiao Cheng to the kitchen to chop firewood and cook rice. Anyway, I have been waiting for more than a year in Ningguo, and I have only received a letter from your messenger bird until now, which is really a waste of my time. ”
When everyone arrived, Zhong Zhen could be regarded as having figured out a lot about the living habits of the people of Ningguo, and planned to leave.
Meng Laibao looked at Zhong Zhen's battle posture, and there were seniors in the soul refining period who were running errands, and he was desperate to keep up. Daliang City is a rotten place, he has completely stayed enough, one has no spirit crystals and two has not cultivated, and it is only serious to be able to go outside to see the world.
In the future, maybe he will be favored by some great family of cultivators, and he will soar from then on. Even if there are no other great families who take a fancy to it, looking at Zhong Zhen's formation, the origin is obviously not small.
Anyway, even Xiao Chengdu followed, and one more Meng Laibao did not dislike more, in line with the idea that there were more lice and no itching, Zhong Zhen let him follow.
The group embarked on a journey and sat on a gray-blue rather low-key flying bird magic weapon, needless to say, it was Mu Wanning's former phoenix, which was robbed by Lu Jinyu, and he didn't plan to return it so far. (To be continued.) )
