Chapter 70: The Diorama Is To Be Debunked?
Although he had studied the information of Mao Xiang, Ivan still saw the true face of Mao Xiang's Lushan for the first time, and he even saw the famous four sons of the late Ming Dynasty.
This made Ivan's mind a little confused for a moment.
Because the information was urgently replenished for a while, although Ivan had roughly studied their information about the four sons who were jointly dispatched in front of him, it was really a bit messy to pile them up, and he had to spend a little time sorting them out.
Fortunately, the attention of the fourth prince was focused on Dong Xiaowan, completely ignoring him dressed as a small servant, so that he had enough time to observe his words and feelings.
"Miss Dong, where are you going?"
A scribe who was nearly thirty years old, with a pale face and a slightly emaciated face, walked quickly towards Dong Xiaowan from the four, and the other three were one step behind.
gave Ivan the impression that this was the thin version of Feng Gong when he was young.
It's too similar between the eyebrows and eyes.
"When I saw Mao Gongzi, I walked around the neighborhood. ”
With Dong Xiaowan's answer, Ivan finally determined the main owner.
It turns out that this is Mao Xiang!
He couldn't help but wonder, although this Mao Xiang was brightly dressed, but this body was put into the future generations, he was a weak scholar who was powerless, and he was not the type that girls liked at all, why did Dong Xiaowan look down on him?
Could it be that Dong Xiaowan belongs to the kind of love who does not love sex?
He couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
He immediately turned his gaze to the other three.
If the information of later generations is correct, among the four sons in the late Ming Dynasty, the oldest should be Chen Zhenhui, who should be 35 years old now, followed by Fang Yizhi and Mao Xiang, who should be 28 years old at this time, and the youngest is Hou Fangyu, who is only 21 years old now.
From 21 to 35 years old, this age gap is a little bigger.
It is estimated that these four people can get together, which should be facilitated by the fame of the four sons of the Restoration Society.
According to the information, these four people are indeed like-minded, and often get together, or travel together, or sing poems and wine, or criticize the eunuchs, or discuss the government.
But what Ivan remembers most clearly is the affair of these four people.
It's really merry.
For example, Chen Zhenhui, the eldest of the four, has a close relationship with Li Zhenli, a famous prostitute in Qinhuai, according to later generations, that is, the two are concubines.
And the youngest Hou Fangyu, it seems that in this year, under the introduction of Chen Zhenhui, he met Li Zhenli's fifteen-year-old daughter Li Xiangjun, and then immediately got together and became a "concubine".
It's a bit of a mess.
Li Xiangjun is amazing.
That is the No. 1 Qin Huai famous prostitute in Qin Huai Bayan, and the story between her and Hou Fangyu has also been written into a legendary script "Peach Blossom Fan", which is very famous in later generations.
As for the romance of Mao Xiang, not to mention, in addition to Dong Xiaowan and Chen Yuanyuan, he also has a prostitute lover in Qinhuai.
As early as the autumn of the third year of Chongzhen, when the 20-year-old Mao Xiang went to Guozijian on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Jinling for the first time to participate in the township test, he first made friends with Wang Jieniang, the second sister of the "beautiful" and famous "Wang Family Triplets" in Qinhuai.
While Mao Xiang was in contact with Wang Jie, he also befriended Li Xiangzhen, another famous prostitute in Nanqu on the Taoye Ferry of the Qinhuai River.
This Li Xiangzhen is also an amazing character, she is also known as Li Shi Niang, it is said that she looks good, her skin is like snow, and she is very smart, especially a pair of smart eyes, "both smiling and smiling", and is one of the other versions of "Qin Huai Bayan".
According to the information, the talented Mao Xiang was also introduced by Li Shi Niang as a confidant, every time he came to Jinling, Li Shi Niang would be greeted with joy, Mao Xiang often stayed in her boudoir, and the relationship between the two has continued for more than ten years.
Among the two versions of Qin Huai Bayan, there are actually three people who are closely related to this unattractive impostor, and this Yanfu is even envious of Ivan.
What he admires the most is that Mao Xiang can also pedal on several boats, and swim among several women at the same time with ease.
Alas, it really lives up to the name of a merry genius!
Just when Ivan was sighing with emotion, Dong Xiaowan, who had already met the four sons, targeted him.
"Yi Gongzi, come here, this is the famous fourth prince I told you, you get to know each other. ”
Ivan: "......"
I just want to be a passerby!
To be honest, he was really not mentally prepared to deal with Mao Xiang and others.
Although he had a mission, he hadn't figured out how to get along with Mao Xiang and the others.
Alas, I can only bite the bullet.
He slowly took two steps forward and approached the four sons.
"Four sons, come, let me introduce to you, this is Ivan Yi from Songzhou, and he is also my friend. ”
Dong Xiaowan gradually showed her other side in front of Ivan.
In front of these readers, she behaved generously and decently, and showed a good tutoring side.
Moreover, in front of outsiders, she did not call Ivan Derpy, but used a very formal title.
In comparison, Ivan is much worse.
He just arched his hand: "I have seen four sons, and I have admired the name for a long time." ”
He didn't know what else to say.
He always seems to be lacking in communication.
It's not that he doesn't like to socialize with people, it's not that he has a mouth, it's just that he doesn't get used to talking nonsense and polite words until he finds a topic of interest.
Here comes something embarrassing for him.
Maybe it was because he and Dong Xiaowan appeared together to attract everyone's attention, or maybe it was because there was too much contrast between what he was wearing and Dong Xiaowan's introduction, the four sons focused their eyes on him and glanced at him first.
Then, Mao Xiang spoke first: "I've seen Yi Gongzi, and Yi Gongzi also came to Jinling to participate in the township test?"
This question really embarrassed Ivan.
But for the sake of the task, he couldn't show his timidity, so he could only smile and shake his head.
"Oh, is Yi Gongzi famous?"
Mao Xiang asked again.
Ivan could only smile awkwardly and shake his head.
As soon as he heard that he was not even a Xiucai, Mao Xiang, who had been gentle and polite, seemed to be a little disappointed, and he turned to Dong Xiaowan: "Miss Dong......"
Dong Xiaowan didn't seem happy to see Ivan being left out in the cold, she hurriedly said: "Mao Gongzi, Yi Gongzi is a well-informed person who returned from the West, but his interest is not in fame, but in terms of knowledge and talent, he is also a person I admire." ”
This is terrible.
As soon as they heard that Ivan had returned from the West, the four sons immediately focused their attention on him again.
Fang Yizhi immediately stepped forward, took Ivan's hand and said, "Yes, Yi Gongzi, fortunately, I am friends with Bi Fangji and Tang Ruowang, two priests from the West, and I am also very interested in Western academics, can you tell me about what you have seen in the West?"
Then, he added: "By the way, Father Bi Francis is in Jinling, and I am going to visit him again in two days, do you want to come along?"
Ivan: "......"
Wow, isn't that a problem for me?
Do you want to tear my diorama apart?
