Listen to the rain cottage!
Princess Yongping's face froze. Even for a noblewoman like her who lived deep in the palace, she had heard that it was the most popular place for the rich and powerful officials and talented men in the capital. And Zhang Shou not only went to that place himself, but also brought so many people with him, and even spoke out without hesitation? Is the usually stingy Zhu Ying so generous
She couldn't help but stare at Zhu Ying, and sure enough, she saw Zhu Ying's face darken, and she asked unhappily, "It was so early in the morning, why did you take my second brother and them to a place like that?"
"Didn't Lord Weinan invite us to watch a Twelve Heavenly Demon Dance there last time? I thought they had nice figures then. Lu Sanlang happened to go to a bookstore these past two days and saw a collection of stories from the pre-Song Dynasty. He bought it and flipped through it and found it very interesting. I had a bold idea, so I made an appointment with Lord Weinan to talk about it at Tingyu Cottage and met the Twelve Heavenly Demons again."
Hearing Zhang Shou mention Twelve Rain in such a calm tone, the other girls, who were either surprised, angry or confused, suddenly became shocked. However, what they didn't expect was what Zhu Ying said next.
"What do you mean you think they have good figures? Last time the Duke of Weinan invited you, you just watched them dance for a few seconds. The rest of the time you were just tasting the food. You are so stupid that you don't understand romance. You even joked that they were singing with their necks bent to the sky. If those talented people who think they are fairies knew about this, they would hate you to death. It's better for me to go than for you to go!"
Although some people knew that Zhu Ying was spoiled by her elders, they still felt a little amused when they heard Zhu Ying say that Zhang Shou was unromantic. As for Princess Yongping, her face turned pale, thinking that Zhu Ying was so outrageous to speak so freely in public!
"Okay, okay, you are the one who pities me, I don't understand romance!" Zhang Shou smiled, and then said lightly, "The book that Lu Sanlang has in that bookstore tells the story of a group of guild leaders in Lin'an City at the end of the Song Dynasty. The book is very interesting, but I think it would be more interesting if Shi Er Yu acted it out, Lu Sanlang, don't you think so?"
Fatty Lu didn't expect that Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying would suddenly drag him into the conversation. After a moment of hesitation, he looked up quickly, but he didn't have time to think about whether his fiancée was upstairs. He coughed and said seriously, "Teacher is right. Weinan Bo happens to be familiar with Wan Yuanbao, so we went to talk about this. If you don't believe me, Miss, why don't you ask Zhang Chen?"
Lu Zhu, you are such a fool who is trying to shift the blame to others. It is enough for you to explain yourself. Why do you have to drag me into this
Zhang Chen was so angry that his nose was crooked. However, when he found that there was a girl next to Zhu Ying, although her appearance was not clear, her posture and demeanor seemed a bit like Princess Yongping, he suddenly thought of the lofty ambitions he had made in front of Zhang Shou, and he was embarrassed. Although what he said before was purely angry, he was not willing to show his weakness in front of Princess Yongping.
"That's right. The young master told the stories of several heads of the late Song Dynasty in Tingyu Cottage. Unlike the common stories of talented scholars and beautiful women under the moonlight, this story involves two countries fighting each other, treacherous ministers and incompetent rulers, and even benevolent people with lofty ideals. The situation is very different." When he said this, he finally felt that he couldn't continue to argue, so he immediately said, "Xiao Wu, you tell the story?"
