Everyone in Nanjing knows the name of Meixiang Tower.
Meixianglou's mother is Li Zhenhui, and she treats her adopted daughter Li Xiangjun as if she were her own. She herself is a famous prostitute in Qinhuai and is extremely generous.
When Ding Yunyi and others arrived at Meixiang Tower, they saw a word hanging high in the main hall:
"The rise and fall, everyone is responsible".
These eight words are exactly what Ding Yunyi said when he was painting the boat.
Li Zhenhui brought the girls and maids from Meixiang Building to welcome them out: "Ding Huben, who is famous all over the world, came to my Meixiang Building. Meixiang Building has also been famous all over the world since then. Today, I will always make the town satisfied. Satisfied
It’s about returning home.”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Ding Yunyi said hurriedly, and then looked behind Li Zhenhui. Li Zhenhui knew what he meant as soon as she saw it: "Mr. Ding, the girls are all waiting for you inside."
Ding Yunyi was a little embarrassed, but Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi behind him looked at each other and smiled. This Ding Huben might have taken a fancy to one of the girls among Gu Hengbo, Wang Yue and Li Xiangjun.
They never dreamed that Ding Yunyi was attracted by three girls at the same time. His idea was very simple. Rather than letting the three girls marry as traitors and weaklings in the future, it would be better for him to accept them all. This was also "saving them from danger".
The future is water and fire."
If Ding Yunyi's "ambition" were known to those talented people in Nanjing, they would drown him in just a mouthful of saliva.
Li Zhenhui arranged for Huangfu Yunjie, Hou Lu, and Deng Changgui who came with Ding Yunyi, and asked the girl to accompany them. She took Ding Yunyi and others upstairs.
When they came to the private room upstairs, Li Xiangjun, Gu Hengbo, and Wang Yue were already waiting there. When they saw Ding Yunyi coming in, they all stood up. Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi became dispensable people at this time.
The two of them sat down, with a charming smile on Li Xiangjun's face: "Have Master Ding seen those eight characters?"
"Ah, I saw it, I saw it." It would have been better not to say "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." Ding Yunyi really decided that he was ashamed of Gu Yanwu.
Li Zhenhui was also sitting with her. After hearing this, she smiled and said: "When our Xiangjun came back yesterday, he was in a state of disbelief. He got up early this morning and specially asked someone to write these eight words and make a plaque. Hang it there.
"
"Ding Yunyi appreciates the girl's kindness. I would like to offer this glass of wine to the Buddha with a flower, and give it to the girl." Ding Yunyi raised the cup and drank it himself.
Li Xiangjun is a cheerful person and drinks it all in one gulp.
After the two of them put down their wine cups, Gu Hengbo couldn't help but ask: "Master Ding, I heard that the thief Ruan Dacheng came to find you today. Did you accept his gift?"
I'm afraid only Gu Hengbo can say it openly calling Ruan Dacheng a "thief". Seeing Ding Yunyi nodding, Gu Hengbo's tone was both angry and disappointed: "I only think that Mr. Ding is different from others, but how can he be different from others?"
Are people like Ruan Dacheng complicit?"
Ding Yunyi was slightly embarrassed and did not explain, but Zhang Pu stood aside and complained for Ding Yunyi: "Miss Gu is probably wronging Mr. Ding. How can there be such a villain in Mr. Ding's eyes? If I hadn't persuaded him this morning, Ruan Dacheng
He was going to drive him away on the spot. Why did your town accept the gift? It was for the hundreds of thousands of victims who were rushing to Taiwan. If you don’t accept the thieves’ things, they would be free. Not only that, the town also received gifts from Ruan Dacheng.
That forcefully extorted two hundred thousand taels of silver."
Several people became curious upon hearing this. Zhang Pu explained the story in a mysterious and mysterious manner, and the girls all covered their mouths and laughed.
Gu Hengbo laughed for a while and raised the wine cup: "Sir, I have wronged you. It was my fault. I drank this cup of wine as a punishment. Please forgive me."
He said that he really drank it all in one gulp.
Li Xiangjun on the side said coldly: "I'm afraid that the Lord of the town doesn't care about you, and will give your body to the town, so that he can calm down the anger in his heart."
Everyone was startled, and then burst into laughter. Gu Hengbo had a heroic temperament. Although his face was blushing, he was not angry. He just gave Li Xiangjun a blank look.
Just this one glance is enough to make people feel emotional.
When the laughter subsided, Wang Yue said: "I have had a doubt in my mind for a long time. Since the headquarters is here today, please clear up the doubt in my mind."
"Miss Wang Yue, please tell me."
Wang Yue thought about it for a moment: "I once heard people say that there was a great disaster in the world. Some people exchanged their sons and ate them, and some mothers ate their daughters. I thought how could such a cruel thing happen in the world? What do you think, Lord Mayor?"
Ding Yunyi was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Don't think that I have seen all these cruel things with my own eyes. In the past, I rushed to the border and saw millions of victims along the way, all waiting to starve to death. I have a righteousness
Sister, her brother was eaten alive... There was a burst of exclamations.
In the prosperous place of Jinling, these women have lived here all year round. They are used to living in luxury and entertainment. How could they have thought that there are really such tragic things in the world?
In fact, they were not the only ones. Even Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi had only heard about it in the past and did not believe that such a tragedy could happen in the Ming Dynasty. But this time when Ding Yunyi said it, everyone was shocked.
Human cannibalism is simply unimaginable to them...
Wang Yue sighed softly: "After all, we have not seen enough. The misery of the human world is far beyond our ability to understand. But I suddenly understood. I heard that Mr. Ding saved the lives of 200,000 victims. This meritorious deed
, it is much bigger than annihilating bandits... Zhang Pu deliberately wanted to make Ding Yunyi look good in front of these girls: "When I went to Fujian, what I heard along the way were all about the kindness of Mr. Ding.
He himself in Taiwan is not rich, but he does not hesitate to do anything. He would rather starve himself than save the lives of the victims. I am afraid that the things that saints have done throughout the ages are nothing more than this... Ding Yunyi sighed: "Now it's not just this.
Hundreds of thousands. Last year and this year, there were consecutive natural disasters in Ming Dynasty. Instead of reducing the number of victims, there were more victims than before. I am afraid that there will be 300,000 to 400,000 new victims in Taiwan. Can Taiwan save them?
When I saw these people, I really had no idea whether I could cross with them... The three girls, Li Xiangjun, Gu Hengbo, and Wang Yue, looked at each other and stood up together: "We women, we don't understand anything.
, I can’t do anything. Lord Ding moved the sky for righteousness. Compared with the kindness of hundreds of thousands of victims, those who suppressed the bandits are nothing. Lord Ding, please accept our courtesy."
Ding Yunyi quickly stood up and said: "You three girls must not be like this. This is what I can do."
After sitting down again, Li Zhenhui smiled and said: "They say Ding Huben is a murderer, but who would have thought that when we meet him today, he is so kind. It seems that the legends from the outside world are not very reliable."
Ding Yunyi himself laughed first: "I do kill people like crazy, and the bandits all call me 'butcher'. But on this occasion, shouldn't I raise my knife and scream? Girls are not bandits."
The girls who said this all laughed. Wang Yue suddenly blinked and asked, "Do you still want Master Ding's knife?"
Ah... As soon as Ding Yunyi heard about his knife, he quickly said: "Yes, yes, the girl promised me that I will return it when I leave Nanjing... stingy." Wang Yue pouted and said no.
She sounded charming and cute: "You want to get back what you gave away. It's not that I refuse to give it to you, but it's better to let Mr. Ding stay in Nanjing for a few more days. We people are short-sighted. I don't know how many days have happened outside.
If Mr. Ding doesn’t tell us all the big things, the knife will definitely not be returned.”
Zhang Pu smiled and came to Ding Yunyi's rescue: "Mr. Ding will stay in Nanjing for one month. He will wait until my Jiangnan Academy is completed before leaving. During this month, the girls can listen to him every day."
Li Xiangjun pouted at the side again: "If Sister Xiaoyue wants to listen, why not follow Mr. Ding back to Taiwan? Even if you want to listen to it for the rest of your life, you can do it."
Wang Yue's face suddenly turned red.
But to be honest, these women here have never seen a person like Ding Yunyi. He is decisive in killing and roaming the battlefield, but he is also versatile in both civil and military affairs and can write well. And the most important thing is that he has such a compassionate heart.
When someone kills someone, his blood will be spattered for ten steps, and when he saves someone, he destroys his family to save others. Where can you find another person like this in the world?
At this time, several people were drinking while listening to Ding Yunyi talking about the customs and customs of Fujian and Taiwan, the border killings in the Central Plains, and the battle between the Tiger Guard Fleet and the Western Fleet.
They had never heard of these things, and they were all fascinated by them.
Speaking of excitement, even the three women were excited and wished they could see Ding Yunyi go into battle to kill the enemy. When they heard Han Xiaoxiao cheering for his pipa, envy was revealed in their eyes.
Han Xiaoxiao was an oiran on the Qinhuai River in the past, but she unexpectedly became Ding Yunyi's woman. She followed him through all kinds of battlefield competitions. How fascinating is this?
These women have seen many literary talents. When they saw Ding Yunyi, they felt that this man was brave and decisive. This was the real man in their minds.
Qian Qianyi looked over quietly and saw that the three women were listening attentively, for fear of missing a word, their eyes were full of admiration and confusion, and his heart suddenly brightened. Master Ding had completely moved them.
Although I was envious, there was nothing I could do about it.
Just as we were talking about the exciting part, there was a sudden noise downstairs, and then a maid hurried in: "Mom, Mr. Gong Dingzi from Hefei didn't know where he heard that Miss Gu came to our Meixiang Building and kept talking there.
I'm afraid he drank too much because he wanted to see Miss Gu, and he is currently arguing with Master Ding's companions."
Several girls were listening intently when they were suddenly interrupted. They were very impatient. Gu Hengbo even said angrily: "This is not Meilou, but Meixianglou. What's going on with him coming here to cause trouble?"
Ding Yunyi saw that it was already getting late, and something like this happened again, so he stood up and said: "Since something happened here, my companions may be rude, so I will take them away."
Li Zhenhui felt sorry and helpless. She also knew Gong Dingzi's name. She was always a celebrity, and she was a guest here, but she couldn't openly fall out with him.
When he came outside, he saw Gong Dingzi, whose face was red from drinking, arguing with Huangfu Yunjie and others. Looking at Huangfu Yunjie's appearance, if this was not someone else's territory, they would have already invaded. When Ding Yunyi came out, Huangfu Yun
Jie hurriedly stepped forward: "Headquarters, this man insisted on rushing forward, but the brothers stopped him and there was some conflict between words."
"This is someone else's place, don't be reckless." Ding Yunyi walked downstairs with a cold face.
When he saw Gu Hengbo behind Ding Yunyi, Gong Dingzi was overjoyed. He was about to step forward, but was stopped by Huangfu Yunjie and others. He really drank too much today and didn't care about anything anymore: "Hengbo, Hengbo, I thought about it again and again.
I want to see you, but why do you always disappear? I am so infatuated that I came here from Hefei, can't you see it?"
As he spoke, he said with a tearful tone: "My infatuation can only be judged by heaven and earth." The long-lasting regret drifted into the body of Lu, and he looked at each other haggard and covered with scarves. The flowers in the back garden were broken, and he was also a lost person in Chen Palace.
...This man is really very talented. Together with Wu Weiye and Qian Qianyi, he will become the famous "Three Jiangzuo Masters" in the future. He can write a poem casually, which is much better than Ding Yunyi who plagiarized from later generations.
If it were in the past, Gu Hengbo would really be impressed by his talent, but now he looks like he is crying, how can he be half manly? Compared with Ding Yunyi next to him, he is really disgusting and pitiful.
Gu Hengbo saw that Ding Yunyi was a true hero with both civil and military skills. He could barely hold back the disgust in his heart: "Gu Hengbo is just a little girl. She cannot be treated like a young master. Young Master, please take him back."
When Gong Dingzi saw Gu Hengbo and Ding Yunyi standing side by side with quite intimate expressions, he couldn't help but get jealous and shouted loudly under the influence of wine: "Hengbo, is this the kind of person you fancy? He is just a martial artist.
How can he be compared with our generation? Do you really only care about his power?"
These hurtful words made Ding Yunyi furious in his heart. If he hadn't been in Meixiang Tower, he would have been taught a lesson.
Gu Hengbo also looked unhappy, and pointed to the words in the main hall: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. This is exactly what Mr. Ding did. Mr. Gong, the Ming Dynasty is in chaos right now, and it is time to take revenge.
It’s not a man’s fault. Although you are talented, can you write such an article and say such words?”
When Gong Dingzi heard Gu Hengbo praising Ding Yunyi repeatedly, he became even more jealous. He didn't care about Ding Yunyi's identity and actually cursed him there.
Huangfu Yunjie and others were all angry, fearing that with this order from the commander-in-chief, he could be dragged outside to sober up.
Ding Yunyi suddenly smiled, turned to Li Zhenhui and said: "Mom, I want to stay here today, and the money will be paid. I wonder if there is an empty room here?"
Li Zhenhui was startled, not knowing what Ding Yunyi wanted to do: "Yes, of course there is. The first room on the left on the second floor above is the most elegant. Since you want to live there, why bother mentioning money."
Ding Yunyi laughed loudly and said: "Then I will thank my mother here first!" (To be continued)
