Chapter 026: The Strange Zhang Jun

Lu Cheng himself didn't care about this matter, so Zhang Zijun also let Shen Yi go. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Yi was naturally grateful to Lu Cheng. In order to express his apologies and gratitude, he personally proposed to invite the two of them to have a meal, and the location was chosen by Lu Cheng.

There is a free dinner to eat, and of course Lu Cheng will not refuse. He could see that this Shen Yi was a rich boy, and the place to invite guests to eat would definitely not be too bad.

However, he was not very familiar with Fucheng, so he just let Shen Yi make his own decision.

Shen Yi thought for a moment and proposed, "Why don't we go to Wanhualou?" ”

"Wanhualou?"

Lu Cheng didn't know where Wanhualou was, but when he heard the name, it should be a big restaurant, and he just wanted to nod in agreement, but Zhang Zijun said: "No!" ”

"Why?"

Shen Yi asked strangely, but he was thinking in his heart: "Are the men in Kaifeng Mansion so clean?" It's just a flower wine, and when my son was in Jiangnan, I don't know how many times I went. ”

Lu Cheng didn't know the truth, and looked at Zhang Zijun with some doubts.

Zhang Zijun realized that he had reacted too much just now, and it was easy for people to see the clues, so he hurriedly covered up: "My father won't let me go to that kind of place." ”

"What kind of place?"

Lu Cheng asked stupidly, only to realize that something was wrong.

This Wanhualou, shouldn't it be the land of fireworks? Dare to love this boy brother is going to invite himself to drink flower wine?

Sure enough, Shen Yi's next answer confirmed his guess, and the Wanhualou was indeed a place to hook the fence.

In those days, prostitution was a common phenomenon and it was legal. Whether it is officials, businessmen and scholars, they all take it as fun.

Those who engage in this profession are called "lehu", which are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites and Religious Workshops, and are also a source of tax revenue for the imperial court.

Although the imperial court strictly forbade officials to engage in prostitution, this phenomenon was repeatedly prohibited, and by now, this regulation has become a non-existent rule, and the scholar class is proud of it. Many incumbent officials will even buy famous prostitutes home to be concubines.

Lu Cheng has never been to this kind of place, and he really wants to see and open his eyes.

I heard that at this time, the Qinglou advocated excellence, whether it was a geisha or a prostitute, it also belonged to the music family. The girls in the Qinglou will be divided into "Qing people" and "red people", Qing people don't sell their bodies, and red people can do anything as long as you have money.

If you drink flower wine, it doesn't mean that you really want to find a girl to sleep with, it's just a vassal and elegant hobby of the rich. Of course, there are still many guests who choose to stay overnight.

However, since Zhang Jun's father didn't let him go to that kind of place, Lu Cheng dispelled such an idea.

A few people found a restaurant near their home and asked for a private room to eat.

After chatting, Lu Cheng knew that Shen Yi was not a native of Kaifeng, but a native of Songjiang Mansion, and Shen Yi came to Kaifeng with a bride price this time.

In this era, they all pay attention to the right family, the Shen family is a wealthy local businessman, operating a cloth industry, a money village, tea, pawn shops and other industries, the woman's conditions are naturally not too bad, and it is also a merchant family in Kaifeng Mansion.

There have always been business contacts between the two families, the handicrafts in the Jiangnan area are developed, and the other regions are much backward, and a large amount of cotton cloth will be imported from the Jiangnan every year, and then cotton will be exported to the Jiangnan, so that an industrial chain has been formed.

Shen Yi finished mentioning his relatives, but he didn't plan to go back so soon, so he played in Kaifeng for a while, and planned to go to Luoyang for a while later.

Zhang Zijun and Shen Yi are both very good at drinking, only Lu Cheng is not good at drinking, but this time he also finished drinking a glass.

It's just that compared to Zhang Zijun's amount of alcohol, Shen Yi is still slightly inferior, and he soon became a little drunk. On the other hand, Zhang Zijun, except for his ruddy face, he really can't see any changes.

After contact, Lu Cheng found that Shen Yi was not bad, although he was a little unlearned, he was not like those rich boys in his impression, who bullied the market all day long and molested women from good families.

Even if Zhang Jun had done something to him just now, he didn't care. Lu Cheng felt that compared to a person like Zhao Yulong, Shen Yi didn't know how many times better.

The friendship between men is always a little inexplicable, comrades who have carried guns together, classmates who have been in the window together, drinking friends who have drunk together, or prostitutes together......

After drinking, the two of them formed some friendships.

It didn't take long for Shen Yi to take Lu Cheng's arm affectionately and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, it's not convenient to have Brother Zhang present today. If I have a chance another day, I will invite you to Wanhualou to drink flower wine! ”

Without waiting for Lu Cheng to respond, he continued: "But you have to practice this amount of alcohol again, the girls there are quite capable of drinking, if you, the head of Kaifeng Mansion, let them drink and lie down, I can't care about what happens next, haha......"

"Uh...... I'm a poor talent, but no one looks down on me. ”

"Brother Lu is not right to say this, those girls are all very talented, and they love to fight against you literati in poetry, talented people like you are the most popular among girls."

Lu Cheng could see that Shen Yi had really drunk too much, but he was just chatting casually, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun, who had been sitting on the side and drinking silently, suddenly spoke at this time: "Lu Cheng is going to take the exam, don't take him badly, you kid." ”

Xu is wine can strengthen his courage, Shen Yi is not so afraid of his fist this time, and said with a smile: "What is this?" Which of our talented people and celebrities in Jiangnan has never drunk flower wine? Can you still be admitted to the imperial examination? ”

"You ......"

Zhang Zijun was so angry that his teeth itched, and he wanted to pick him up and beat him up.

However, she also knows that she is now dressed as a man, so it is no wonder that people talk about these things in front of her.

Lu Cheng sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he hurriedly exposed the topic and talked about other things, and Zhang Zijun's face eased.

However, she found that Lu Cheng's gaze from time to time was a little weird, I wonder if it was her own delusion?

With enough wine and food, the account is naturally paid by Shen Yi, a rich boy.

Lu Cheng felt that it was not bad to make such a friend, and he could have a good meal from time to time. Otherwise, with his current conditions, he would not have to die of distress for a meal in such a big restaurant?

In contrast, you can find the gap, you really have to study and study, how to make money, and it's not a matter to live this kind of poor life for a long time.

This meal was not short, and when a few people came out of the restaurant, it was already evening.

Shen Yi's body staggered, and he let the servant help him go back. Zhang Zijun was also about to say goodbye, but Lu Cheng suddenly said, "I'll send you." ”

"Huh? Oh! ”

Zhang Zijun was a little stunned, and he could obviously feel that his cheeks were hot. Then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, after drinking some wine today, his face was already ruddy, otherwise it would be really easy for him to see something." ”
