"Chishunin" is the most famous brothel in Kyoto. I heard that the ladies there are all extremely talented and beautiful.
"Why are you shouting so loudly!"
Shen Zhuo grabbed Shen Xi's sleeve and pulled him to a quiet place. He looked around and then whispered, "I went to Zhichun Yuan not to have fun, but to find someone who can be useful." , used to detect people’s character..."
Then, Shen Zhuo told Shen Xi all about the plan they had made, but he didn't dare to mention that it was for Shen Yao.
Shen Xi touched her chin: "So, you are planning to go to Zhichun Yuan to find a male and female servant, and then let them test Xie Zhe's character?"
Shen Zhuo nodded.
"Pa!" Shen Xi waved his hand back, and a scabbard hit Shen Zhuo. It was not heavy but not light either.
"Ah" Shen Zhuo yelled, covering his buttocks and jumping up.
"Where do you have the courage to stain the master's innocence!" Shen Xi's face darkened.
"The Qingliu family has the most important reputation. Do you know that if anything happens to this farce, it will be a stain on Xie Zhe's life, and it may even destroy his life!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Shen Zhuo retorted loudly and unconvinced.
"Only people with noble character will not do despicable things because of temptation. On the contrary, it is people with low character and hypocrisy who will be tempted to tear off their disguise and reveal their true colors."
"If you don't want to help me, forget it. I'll go find the second brother. The second brother will definitely be more reasonable than you." Shen Zhuo snorted angrily.
Shen Wei and Shen Xi are twins.
Shen Wei was born a moment before Shen Xi, so Shen Wei was the second oldest and Shen Xi was the third.
Shen Xi has been dissatisfied with this since she was a child, and has never refused to call Shen Wei "second brother". She has always called him by his first name. She also wants to stay out of the limelight with Shen Wei in everything, and always wants to outdo Shen Wei. It seems like this , he can regain the second place ranking. Shen Xi didn't know how many times she had been beaten by Shen Wei because of this, but she never changed her original intention.
"Come back." Shen Xi stretched out her long hand and picked up Shen Zhuo, who was about to run away.
"If you go to beg that fox, do you believe that you will turn around and let him sell you? Okay, I will arrange this matter. You have to be good these days. You are not allowed to go anywhere except the academy."
"I knew the third brother was the best." Shen Zhuo said sweetly and waxily, holding Shen Xi's hand with a smile as bright as a flower.
"Who made me drink the rock sugar bird's nest you stewed?" Shen Xi snorted, feeling helpless.
"Well, that bird's nest... wasn't stewed by me. It was stewed by my mother for my father. If my father asks about it later, remember to stay away." Shen Zhuo ran away with a smile.
"Shen Zhuo!!" Shen Xi felt the veins on her forehead throbbing.
After Princess Pingyang learned that Shen Xi had drunk the bird's nest she had stewed for her husband, she picked up a feather duster and chased Shen Xi half the yard.
Although she was tricked by Shen Zhuo, Shen Xi still completed the tasks assigned by Shen Zhuo regardless of past grudges.
On June 10th, Prince Zhuang's Mansion held a lotus appreciation banquet. It was a beautiful day, the sky was high, the clouds were clear, and it was exceptionally sunny.
The princes of the Tiansheng Dynasty implemented the system of demotion, so there were only three princes in the Zhengyuan period, namely: King Zhao, King Zhuang and King Rui.
Among them, King Zhao is an old prince, the younger brother of the late emperor, and Shen Zhuo's grandfather. He is currently the most virtuous and respected idle prince, while King Zhuang and King Rui are the younger brothers of the current Emperor Zhengyuan. As for Emperor Zhengyuan's own sons, none of them have yet been crowned kings.
Prince Zhuang was a sibling of the same mother as Emperor Zhengyuan, so he was deeply trusted by Emperor Zhengyuan. He was a popular figure with great military and political power today. So today there is a banquet at Prince Zhuang's Mansion, and everyone who received the post will come.
Princess Pingyang brought four young ladies from the Shen family to the banquet this time. In addition to Shen Yao and Shen Zhuo, there were also the second young lady Shen Ting and the third young lady Han Mei.
Shen Ting is Aunt Cui's daughter. She is fourteen years old and ranks second in the family. Han Mei is the daughter of Aunt Su's ex-husband. She is thirteen and ranks third.
When Shen's carriage arrived at Prince Zhuang's Mansion, there was already a long queue of carriages in front of the Prince's Mansion, with no end in sight. They waited for a long time before it was their turn to enter the palace.
"Tsk, it's almost time to catch up with the people who go out to Qingyu Lake during the Spring Festival. Are all the unmarried young men in the city here?" Shen Zhuo raised the curtains on the car window and sighed while looking around.
"Prince Zhuang is highly regarded by Your Majesty, and Yue Yi has always been gentle, kind, and talented. She has a good reputation in Kyoto. Anyone who wants to marry her will naturally get over the threshold."
Princess Pingyang lowered the car curtains, then nodded Shen Zhuo's head with her fingers, and said: "When will you truly be like a lady? Then there will be many more people asking to marry you than this one."
"I don't want to get married. I want to stay with my father and mother for the rest of my life." Shen Zhuo put his arms around Princess Pingyang's waist and acted coquettishly.
"Who doesn't want to get married?" A hand reached out from outside the car and lifted the curtain, only to see a handsome young man standing next to the car, it was Shen Xi.
Shen Xi smiled and joked: "If you don't get married, are you going to stay in the house and finish demolishing Shen's house?"
"Lao San, why are you here?" Princess Pingyang was slightly surprised.
The Shen family had no plans to get married to Prince Zhuang's family, so she didn't bring any of her sons with her to the banquet this time.
"Mom, it was Crown Prince Zhuang who invited A Wei and I to have a small gathering." Shen Xi replied.
"The second child is here too?" Princess Pingyang was even more surprised.
Shen Xi has a fun and lively temperament and likes to make friends, so it's not surprising that he came here.
But Shen Wei has always been prudent and steady, and except for reading, he has never heard anything outside the window. Did you come to join in the fun today?
"My mother is well, and my sisters are well."
A man walked out from beside Shen Xi. His facial features were exactly the same as those of Shen Xi. It was Shen Wei, the second son of the Shen family.
Shen Wei and Shen Xi are twins. Although they look exactly the same and are completely cast from the same mold, no one has ever mistaken them.
Just because the temperament of these two people is really very different. One is a high-spirited young man from an aristocratic family, wearing bright clothes and angry horses, and the other is a humble gentleman who is as gentle as jade and has a restrained charm.
"Why are second brothers here?" When getting off the carriage, Shen Zhuo pulled Shen Xi and asked quietly.
Shen Xi was silent, touched his nose, and whispered: "When I went to Zhichun Yuan, he caught me."
Shen Zhuo looked at Shen Xi speechlessly.
"Awei said that your plan was full of loopholes and you couldn't deceive Xie Zhe at all. Besides, he recommended Xie Zhe to the academy. He couldn't worry about it, so he came to have a look." Shen Xi quickly added, but just disappeared and he The fact that he was repaired by Shen Wei.
Shen Wei stood aside and waited for the two of them to finish whispering, then slowly stepped forward and smiled at them: "Jiaojiao, you are really capable."
Shen Zhuo shrank his head and said humbly: "Hello, second brother."
What Shen Zhuo fears most at home is not Shen Yuan, but his second brother Shen Wei.
Shen Wei has a kind face but a dark heart, and his belly is full of twists and turns. He can have eight hundred evil intentions. Ever since she was a child, Shen Zhuo has never been able to get anything good from Shen Wei.
After entering the palace and paying homage to the elders, Shen Zhuo found an excuse and left.
She climbed up to a rockery pavilion with Ying'er familiar with the steps. When she arrived, several people were already sitting in the pavilion.
