Chapter 125: The Outspoken Zhang Jie

"Renjie, look, is my clothing straight?"

Arriving in front of the living room where Li Shishi entertained guests, Li Gang hurriedly straightened his clothing.

"It's straight, it's straight."

Zhang Jie gave a perfunctory answer without any sincerity.

But in his heart, he was laughing:

Even if he was taking the Metropolitan Examination, Li Gang wouldn't be this nervous.

Zhang Jie could only sigh that famous courtesans like Li Shishi,

had a terrifying status in the hearts of the scholars of Great Song.

Knock, knock.

Arriving in front of the main gate, Qing'er knocked on the door:

"Miss, I have brought Young Master Zhang and his companion."

"Come in."

The next second, a voice as crisp as a lark came from the living room.

Qing'er then opened the door and brought Zhang Jie and his companion into it.

Zhang Jie looked around casually and found that this living room did not have the gold and jade in the main hall on the first floor,

the extreme luxury, and the exquisite decoration,

but the furnishings were extremely simple, just a few tables, chairs, and benches.

However, the furnishings inside were clearly designed by experts; although simple,

they were not crude or empty, giving people a refreshing and elegant feeling.

"Little woman Shishi has met Young Master Zhang and Young Master Li."

Li Shishi's voice, like pearls falling on a jade plate, came from behind a gauze curtain.

Yes, Li Shishi did not appear directly:

There was a gauze curtain in the center of the living room, dividing the living room into two halves,

Zhang Jie and his companion were on one side, and Li Shishi was on the other.

Zhang Jie was speechless in his heart: I've almost taken off my pants, and you show me this?

Just being able to see a hazy figure,

even as material for dreams at night, it's not enough!

Li Gang was very excited and hurriedly returned the salute:

"Li Boji has met Miss Shishi."

Thinking that "since I'm here," Zhang Jie also bowed:

"Zhang Renjie has met Miss Shishi."

Li Shishi behind the gauze curtain was surprised when she heard this, and asked:

"Is it Zhang Xingwang who wrote "Shan Po Yang"?"

Zhang Jie replied humorously:

"If there is no other Zhang Renjie, then I probably am."

"Hehe."

Li Shishi, who was amused, let out a silver bell-like laugh.

Li Shishi's intentional concealment aroused Zhang Jie's interest,

he circulated his internal energy to his eyes, and his vision increased greatly; even through the gauze curtain,

he could still see Li Shishi behind it through the gaps in the gauze curtain.

Then a clear and refined, beautiful figure, beautiful face,

without half a trace of dust, just like a rich family's daughter,

and like a fairy from the nine heavens who had descended to the mortal world, came into his eyes.

'No wonder she could fascinate so many high-ranking officials and nobles, and even that Prince Duan.'

Zhang Jie nodded knowingly.

People are visual animals; no matter how beautiful the inside is,

without a beautiful appearance, most people still have no interest in understanding.

After all, the vast netizens of the 21st century know that when watching movies, you must first look at the cover...

And since Li Shishi could get so much praise from so many people,

clearly her appearance and talent were very much in line with the aesthetics of these people.

'However, for that Prince Duan who has three palaces and six courtyards and many concubines,

beauty is secondary; the most important thing is stimulation!'

Inexplicably, Zhang Jie thought of the famous saying that has been widely circulated in later generations:

'A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a maid, a maid is not as good as a prostitute,

a prostitute is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as not being able to steal.'

For Song Huizong, Li Shishi was the object he "stole".

This experience of being obedient to him, the object that others praised, must be very stimulating for Prince Duan.

'Humph!

It's just that Great Song doesn't have venereal diseases, otherwise, with his style, he would probably be hit.'

Thinking of the third-to-last Emperor of our Tartar Qing, the unnamed,

Emperor Tongzhi who died of venereal disease (syphilis), Zhang Jie thought maliciously.

And what is very interesting is that in the history of syphilis naming,

it is a process of mutual shirk and mutual slander in various countries and regions.

At first, syphilis was called Naples disease,

Later, because the soldiers of the Charles army who participated in the Battle of Naples,

brought the disease back to their respective countries,

the names "French plague" or "Gallic disease" spread.

Italians call it "Spanish disease" or "French disease".

The French call it "Italian disease" or "Naples disease" or "Spanish disease".

The British call it "French disease" or "French pox" or "Great pox".

Russians call it "Polish disease", and Arabs call it "Christian disease".

China calls it "Guangdong sore" "Guangzhou disease", Japan calls it "China disease"...

It is rumored that the bald head of a certain transportation brigade commander was because he was wandering in Shanghai in his early years,

and didn't love himself, resulting in syphilis, hair loss,

hair follicle necrosis, and finally had to shave his head directly.......

After the maid served the fragrant tea, Li Shishi began to show her talent.

Clang, clang, clang!

Li Shishi played lightly with her plain hands, and one person actually played the "Qin King Breaking the Array Music" with gold and iron horses,

and magnificent momentum!

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

Li Gang shook his head and was intoxicated by this music.

Zhang Jie was a bit sleepy: although Li Shishi played well,

but the various music using high-tech and sound in the 21st century had already raised his threshold.

Clang!

As Li Shishi played the last note, the song ended.

"This song should only be in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the world?"

Li Gang was still intoxicated by the music and could not extricate himself.

Li Shishi saw that Zhang Jie was not interested, so she opened her red lips and asked:

"Could it be that Shishi's skill is not as good as Young Master Zhang's eyes?"

"Not so."

Zhang Jie shook his head, and then said slowly:

"I'm just not interested in music."

Li Shishi's beautiful eyes moved, and she asked:

"Then what is Young Master Zhang interested in?"

"Of course it's sleeping."

Zhang Jie answered bluntly.

Since I've come to visit a brothel, why not sleep?

If he wasn't afraid of being too vulgar, he would have wanted to ask directly, 'What is the price of Cao Pi's painting'?

"Uh..."

Zhang Jie was so direct that Li Shishi was speechless for a moment.

According to the normal process, shouldn't they show their talents first,

and only after they were in love, start talking about such things?

She was not one of those low-level prostitutes who could be had for money.

With her level, if she didn't want to, except for Zhao Emperor,

who else would dare to force her?

Seeing that there was no chance to become a fellow traveler with Song Huizong tonight,

Zhang Jie, who was uninterested, pulled Li Gang and walked out.

"You are not interested, I am interested!"

Li Gang yelled and was unwilling to leave.

But his small arms and legs were no match for Zhang Jie, and he was pulled away by Zhang Jie directly.

"Miss, this Zhang Renjie is too impolite!

We, we should punish him!"

Qing'er, who shared honor and disgrace with Li Shishi, said angrily.

"It's okay."

Li Shishi was not angry; after so many years, who hadn't she seen?

Even words ten times more direct and ten times more insulting than this, she had heard a lot.

"He is an interesting person!"

Looking at Zhang Jie's back, Li Shishi's eyes flowed.

"Renjie, such a great opportunity is gone just like that!"

Outside the Fan Tower, Li Gang said with a pained heart.

"Boji, aren't you afraid that I will tell your wife about this after I see her?"

Zhang Jie said quietly.

Unlike him who hadn't married yet and wanted to wave as much as he wanted,

Li Gang, who was twenty-nine years old, not only married, but also had children!

"Gah!"

Li Gang was instantly like a duck whose throat of fate was strangled, stuttering and unable to speak.

"Renjie, my good brother, you must never say it!

My family harmony depends on you, brother!"

Li Gang hurriedly flattered and beat Zhang Jie's back.

"Hmm, a little lower."

Zhang Jie enjoyed Li Gang's service leisurely, and then asked slowly:

"Do you think I did something wrong this time?"

Li Gang, whose handle was caught, dared not refute, and immediately nodded and bowed:

"No, you are not wrong, it is all my fault."

"Haha!"

Zhang Jie laughed:

"Brother Boji, I still appreciate the unruly you just now."

Li Gang didn't stop his hands: "Where was I unruly just now? It was just some nonsense."

Zhang Jie was even happier: his Brother Boji was a henpecked husband,

and this visit to the Fan Tower was the only time he had visited a brothel since he got married.

The two of them returned to Daxiangguo Temple while playing and making trouble.

"Young Master, there is a letter for you."

As soon as Zhang Jie returned, Wu Song sent a letter.

"Whose letter? Who sent it?"

Zhang Jie instantly became serious and took the letter from Wu Song's hand.

Li Gang, who was standing beside him, also hid the laughter on his face and returned to his usual seriousness.

"It was sent by someone from the Li Fu."

Wu Song revealed the source of the letter.

"Someone from the Li Fu?"

Zhang Jie immediately understood which Li Fu it was:

It must have been written by his teacher Li Gefei.

Arriving in the room, Zhang Jie tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper, and began to read.

"Eh, this is actually discussing chess manuals."

Zhang Jie, who thought it was asking him about the imperial examination, was stunned.

"This chess manual..."

Zhang Jie pondered the chess manual recorded in the letter.

Whoosh, whoosh.

However, as his nose twitched slightly, for some reason,

he actually smelled a faint fragrance from this letter.

This was not the fragrance of letter incense or spices, but a body fragrance similar to that of a daughter.

It was as if this letter was written to him by a woman.

'I must have been dizzy from looking at Li Shishi.'

Zhang Jie patted his head and drove away this nonsensical idea.

Li Gefei was a big man, how could this happen?

"Reply to teacher..."

Zhang Jie then waved his brush and wrote down his understanding of the chess manual in one go,

and then asked Wu Song to run errands and send it to the Li Fu.

Li Fu.

"Miss, Miss, the son-in-law has replied."

Yuan'er, holding the reply, reported happily.

"Bring it here quickly for me to see."

Li Qingzhao, who was also a bit impatient, took the letter from Yuan'er's hand.

"So, it can be like this..."

Looking at the cracking ideas Zhang Jie wrote in the letter, Li Qingzhao suddenly became enlightened.

She immediately decided to discuss chess and poetry with Zhang Jie more often.

At night, Zhang Jie entered the shared space on time as usual.

"Shuihu, you are here."

As soon as he entered the shared space, he saw Yitian Zhang Jie and the others.

After a daily sharing, the Zhang Jies began to chat.

"There is actually a scumbag among our Zhang Jies who goes whoring!"

Tianlong Zhang Jie looked at Shuihu Zhang Jie with disdain.

"This..."

Shuihu Zhang Jie touched his nose embarrassedly.

It seemed to be true: among the four Zhang Jies, Tianlong Zhang Jie, Yitian Zhang Jie,

and Haize Zhang Jie had never visited a brothel; he was the first and the only one.

Feeling the strange eyes cast by the other Zhang Jies, Shuihu Zhang Jie spread his hands and argued:

"I didn't even hold hands, what kind of whoring is that?"

Next was another series of "just going to see the world",

"as long as you don't do it, it doesn't count as whoring",

"if you don't spend money, it doesn't count as whoring" and other difficult-to-understand words.

"Haha!"

Yitian Zhang Jie and the others burst into laughter.

The most exaggerated Haize Zhang Jie laughed directly, almost rolling on the ground.

For a time, the entire shared space was filled with an exceptionally happy atmosphere.

After laughing, Tianlong Zhang Jie and the other two looked at Shuihu Zhang Jie with strange eyes:

"By the way, you kid have already visited a brothel, why haven't you eaten yet?"

"Sigh!"

Shuihu Zhang Jie sighed: "A courtesan like Li Shishi,

is simply not something that can be done overnight."

After discussion, several Zhang Jies unanimously decided not to flirt with Li Shishi anymore, after all, it took too much time and energy.

Shuihu Zhang Jie: I want to spend time and energy on more important things,

such as making Great Song more great (overthrowing Great Song) or something...

After selectively giving up the topic of Li Shishi, Haize Zhang Jie winked:

"Brothers, I have been practicing the Law of Heaven and Earth for these years.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it is because of the wrong practice,

even after practicing for more than ten years, I can still only enlarge a small part of my body."

Shuihu Zhang Jie's face instantly showed a smile that every man understands:

"This, I can do it too, to be precise, every normal man can do it."

Tianlong Zhang Jie asked: "Big brother, are there any high-end, affordable cultivation places to introduce?"

Haize Zhang Jie shook his head: "No, it is already the era of the end of the law.

Hehuan Sect and the like have already been beaten into the dust of history.

In the era of the end of the law, only individual caves that are willing and registered can be practiced."

"This damn sense of understanding in seconds." Yitian Zhang Jie's mouth twitched.

If you want to drift, just drift, why pull on the cultivation training ground? ===== CHAPTER 126 =====
