Shen Qing stared at this scene blankly, and after thinking about it for a few times, he finally understood what Tang Wenjie meant: "Oh you guys... So... Oh oh oh!"
Shen Qing's eyes widened. He had seen Qi Zhan teasing Tang Wenjie before in the hospital, saying some misleading words and leaning against Tang Wenjie. However, these two were men, and there was no brother between them. Shen Qing saw it for the first time and didn't think much about it. Only then did he react: there are many men in this world who are together. Hasn't he seen many men doing sex trades at the south wall outside the base?
Looking at Qi Zhan, who was yawning and sleepy, and Tang Wenjie, who was only wearing a white old man's shirt with one shoulder strap slightly crooked and slipping down, the atmosphere became even more embarrassing. Shen Qing was silent for a moment: "...To be honest, I didn't think much about it at first. But now that you reminded me, it's hard for me not to think too much..."
Tang Wenjie: “…………”
Song Kaiji laughed muffledly beside him.
Qi Zhan, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders and went downstairs to eat, as if it had nothing to do with him. Tang Wenjie looked at Shen Qing, then at Song Kaiji, and finally at himself, who was disheveled, and said with a red face, "You go first, I...I'll change my clothes."
Song Kaiji nodded, covered Shen Qing's eyes as he stared at Tang Wenjie curiously, and pushed him away.
Shen Qing pushed Song Kaiji's hand away, his eyes gleaming with gossip: "What's going on between the two of them? Is Qi Zhan going to join our team?"
The benefits of having a healing person in the team are huge. In the short term, if they had brought a healing person with them on the last mission, Li Aiguo would not have died. Although they don't need to go too far away from Hongcheng for missions in the future, the team is getting bigger and bigger now. What if they need to rescue the relatives of other team members one day? For example, Qu Weiwei's parents, Tang Wenjie's father...
Who can predict what will happen in the future?
It would be best if Qi Zhan could be recruited!
"It's difficult, unless Wen Jie □□..." The hospital's welfare benefits and security are very good. Without a large investment, the possibility of Qi Zhan switching jobs here is extremely small.
Song Kaiji pushed Shen Qing forward quickly. He had seen naked streaking in the dormitory before, but now that they were dating, he felt that the way Tang Wenjie dressed was too unethical for a man. Even an old man could wear a vest like that! He didn't want Shen Qing to see it at all! "I don't know what's going on between him and Wenjie. Wenjie didn't say anything after asking him twice. Qi Zhan just occasionally comes to stay at night and eat with him. Sometimes he helps my mom treat her legs. Although it can't be completely healed, it will be much more comfortable, so I didn't chase him away."
Besides, even if they couldn't recruit Qi Zhan into the team, it wouldn't be a bad thing to make friends with a healing psychic. After all, Qi Zhan treated Zhang Sujuan's leg and only ate a few of their meals and stayed with them for a few nights, so they were still getting the better deal.
Well...if you don't think about what happened in Tang Wenjie's room.
The only one who was dissatisfied, confused, and numb was Tang's mother. She still felt uncomfortable seeing Qi Zhan, but because of the previous incident between Shen Qing and Song Kaiji, she was somewhat accepting of homosexuality. But it was another story when it happened to her own son.
Qi Zhan, on the other hand, was shameless. He ate and drank as he pleased and treated the villa as his own home.
Shen Qing thought about the scene he had just seen, which seemed like something had just happened, and thought: "You said they really... they have only known each other for a few days, and they can...?"
Song Kaiji's face also turned red: "Who knows? Anyway, they have been sleeping in the same room for several days. I don't know how Qi Zhan got in..." The rooms are all locked. If Tang Wenjie hadn't brought Qi Zhan into the room, how could a powerless healing psychic forcibly break through the defense of the gold psychic? But if it was Tang Wenjie who brought him in himself, he would show that kind of reluctance in front of himself and Shen Qing.
Tsk tsk tsk.
"But our era is indeed different from yours." Song Kaiji thought for a moment, and then explained to Shen Qing: "Here, as long as two people love each other, they can sleep together even if they don't get married. If they feel it's not appropriate after a while, they can separate. Especially now is the end of the world, and we are in danger of losing our lives at any time. Even if Wen Jie is really with Qi Zhan... it's normal."
Shen Qing felt curious, but also confused. It's not that he couldn't accept why the world was like this. Since he came to the end of the world, he had seen too many things beyond his cognition.
He was just confused. Why was his world different from this one?
If my world is the "ancient times" of the end of the world, what happened in the process that caused such a big change in people's concepts? Why is chastity and reputation so demanding in my world now?
Shen Qing found that he now liked to think, think about the rules that govern the world, and then find the parts of these rules that were beneficial to him.
For example, he had previously entrusted three storefronts to Jin Ya Ren to rent out, but kept one to do business on his own. Jin Ya Ren was very surprised when he heard this: "Young Master, you want to get involved in business matters yourself? This... I suggest you not do that. Nowadays, the government is increasingly strict in checking business taxes. Even if you let your own servants run the business, they may be fined and put on merchant status if they are found out, which will affect the imperial examinations for three generations. It's really not worth it."
The Gold Tooth Man said this out of consideration for Shen Qing. Many people come from humble backgrounds and don't think too much when looking for a way out, or they have no other options, so they become merchants. When they become rich and give birth to extremely smart children, it's too late to regret. This young man seems to be quite wealthy, and he's not the kind of person who has no other options, so why bother getting involved in this mess?
Shen Qing has figured it out: "If it doesn't go under my name, then I can still put it under my aunt's name. It doesn't matter if it goes under the merchant name."
He and Miao, a woman and a boy, their household registration was not important according to the rules of that era. Because in that era, the origin of a child was determined by the father, and no matter whether the mother of the child was a merchant, a slave, or a prostitute, as long as the father of the child was a good citizen, he could still take the imperial examination.
Let's do this business first. Even if they have to register as merchants when it grows, it doesn't matter. As long as he buys Song Kaiji a good citizen status in the future and then "marries" him, his place of origin can be changed instantly. By then, he will have a business and his children will not be delayed in the imperial examination.
There is even a group of people who do this business: marry a prostitute first, then divorce her, and the prostitute's identity can be cleansed and become a good citizen. Some people do it for charity, and some do it for money, offering a price to those prostitutes who are eager to get out of trouble and find a way out.
The rules of this world are very unfair to women and men, but it is not a dead end. As long as you observe and search carefully, you can still survive in desperate situations.
Jin Ya Ren was also a smart man. He was a man who had to be scheming to make money when he was doing business with a dentist. When he heard that Shen Qing wanted to put the business under the name of Miao, he immediately understood the pros and cons and even got a little excited: This is a good idea!
Many wealthy families want to do business but are afraid of ruining their offspring's future. If they follow Shen Qing's example...
But then I thought, it is not easy for a woman to set up a separate household in this world, and how many families trust women in their families and put all their property in their names? This loophole is not something that can be easily exploited, otherwise the world will be in chaos. I can only feel regretful and sigh at Shen Qing's cleverness and luck.
Shen Qing thought of this and talked to Song Kaiji about the situation over there: "When the time comes, I will buy you a household registration in a small village. The poorer the village, the less strict the management, and the easier it is to buy." In this era, the government wants to have more registered population so that they can collect more taxes. There are so many illegal households hiding in the mountains and forests to avoid the population tax, so it is not difficult to buy a household registration. "Then you can go to the city or even further away to buy a house, and move your household registration to the city. After that, you can return to the village and pretend to be the noble behind the workshop, so that the lies I told in the village can be covered up."
He touched Song Kaiji's temples and said, "You can grow your hair now."
Otherwise, if the villagers saw him, they would think he had found a monk who had just left secular life.
"I have a wig." Song Kaiji said proudly, "I just need to grow my hair long enough to tie it up, and then I can use the wig to make a bun at the back."
"But it's too unfair for me to act as that nobleman." Song Kaiji said. This workshop and this shop were all created by Shen Qing himself, but because of the rules of society, they were attributed to him. By then, the villagers will definitely respect him more than Shen Qing, but it's all Shen Qing's...
"It's not that bad." Shen Qing didn't care much, or he was used to it. Now he had tasted the fun of exploiting loopholes, and he didn't necessarily have to stick to the rules: "When we get married, I will be your husband. We are husband and wife, and others have to respect me even if they don't want to."
Song Kaiji's lips moved a few times, and he felt something was wrong. In fact, when Shen Qing told him about his life story, Song Kaiji felt something was wrong: Shen Qing said that his father was crazy about having an heir, so he kicked him and his mother out, but wasn't Shen Qing's son so old here? Did his father already know that Shen Qing was a man and would not marry and have children?
But just now he was mainly concerned about feeling sorry for Shen Qing and didn't think much about it. But now he feels more and more strange.
As for the marriage that Shen Qing had been talking about, Song Kaiji understood that it was just like before the end of the world, although many homosexuals could not get a marriage certificate and become a legal couple, they could hold a ceremony by themselves, receive blessings from relatives and friends, or leave some beautiful memories for themselves.
He had always thought that Shen Qing was like this, or that he had a strong sense of ritual, or that ancient people were more conservative and would not have a wedding night unless there was a ceremony. Now from what Shen Qing said, the whole village would accept their marriage. Was the homosexual atmosphere in Shen Qing's village so strong?
Song Kaiji was puzzled, and finally asked tentatively: "Well... When are you going to take me to see your mother? Will she be dissatisfied with me?"
Shen Qing thought for a moment and said, "Maybe in three days." He wanted to finish listening to the novel before going back. Right now, a workshop is being built next door, and people are coming and going. If he is caught listening to the book at home, it will be difficult to explain. Shen Qing is now very interested in this time-travel novel, and feels that listening to it will be a great inspiration for him to do business and open a workshop. "I'll get some grapes later and ask Aunt Zhang to teach me how to make wine. I wonder if Sister Weiwei can directly produce grapes after I get some grape vines back."
Shen Qing still misses wine. He looked at Song Kaiji's hesitant face and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I showed my mother the video of you reading the Three Character Classic to me. My mother still wants to see you and won't embarrass you. My mother is very nice. She will respect my ideas about whoever I like. She let me do it even though I didn't want to get married before."
"Get married..." Song Kaiji was even more confused. He gestured twice in a panic: "Auntie, won't you mind that I'm a man?"
"Why should you mind?" Shen Qing and Song Kaiji stared at each other for a long time. Shen Qing slapped his forehead and said, "Ah, did I forget to tell you that I'm a brother?"
