Zhang Shixun returned home in a depressed mood. Seeing the bedroom full of dust, he sighed, rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning.
He is a clean person and does not allow mess in the room, especially the bedroom.
This took most of the day and I didn't even have lunch.
At dusk, Wang Dong came over with an unhappy look on his face.
"Someone's calling you from behind the wall. It seems to be Gao Yanei. Go over and take a look. I'm getting so annoyed."
"I guess he can't stand it anymore." Zhang Shixun threw the rag aside. "He must be here for that hairpin."
"Tell him next time not to shout in the back. I don't like it." Wang Dong said with a straight face.
"You have so many problems." Zhang Shixun came to the back garden and asked loudly, "Who's yelling outside?"
"Brother, it's me!" Gao Yanei responded.
"There's a door in front, why don't you go through it? Why are you running to the back?"
"I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, so I ran to the back."
"I'm busy at work. Please come back another day."
Gao Yanei shouted across the wall, "Brother, I came to see you for no other reason than to invite you to go to the tile house to listen to music."
"I'm busy." Zhang Shixun refused without even thinking. How could he have the time to listen to music?
"Brother, Madam Ding recently composed a new song. Everyone who has heard it says that the melody is very unique and intoxicating."
"Mrs. Ding?" Zhang Shixun's heart moved, "Yanei, are you talking about Ding Dusai?" "Of course it's her."
Zhang Shixun was so excited that the poem instantly came to his mind: I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, but when I turned around, he was there, in the dim light.
"...Brother, Ding Dusai is a famous courtesan in the capital, she looks like a fairy."
Zhang Shixun was very surprised. It turned out that Ding Dusai was a celebrity in the entertainment industry. No wonder she knew music scores.
"Open the back door and let me in. Why do you always make me stand here?" Gao Yanei shouted from outside, a little impatient.
"No! The backyard is my cousin's territory. He doesn't allow outsiders to come in here. He also said that no one is allowed to shout at the back door anymore."
"Okay, I won't provoke him. I'll go to the front now."
Gao Yanei walked around to the front door and immediately pulled Zhang Shixun aside and said, "Let's go to the Lotus Pavilion and play."
"Don't pull me, two grown men, what's the big deal about holding hands?" Zhang Shixun shook his hand off and said unhappily, "My cousin hasn't eaten dinner yet, I have to cook for him."
"What kind of crap is this? Let him eat on the street." Gao Yanei became a little anxious.
"No! His mind is sometimes clear and sometimes confused. It would be troublesome if he got lost."
"Then buy him some food." Gao Yanei walked out of the door, waved his hand, and someone came running over immediately.
"Gao Wu, go to West Street and order some food. Don't worry about the price, just get the best. Have the store deliver it here quickly." Gao Yanei casually took out a piece of silver and threw it to the man.
Gao Wu responded repeatedly and left in a flash.
"Who is this person?" Zhang Shixun asked.
"I have two followers in total. There is another one at the door, his name is Gao Liu." Gao Yanei pointed to the side.
Zhang Shixun looked and saw a man standing by the door, leading two horses.
They came well prepared, even bringing horses.
The two returned to the courtyard and chatted for a while. Not long after, the attendant came in with a servant holding a food box.
"Give me the food." Zhang Shixun took the food box from the servant and turned to walk to the back.
"I'm going to listen to music with Gao Yanei. You can eat by yourself tonight. I'll lock the gate." Zhang Shixun brought out the food.
"Well! There are noodle soup, mutton... Oh! There is also fish. It's quite a rich meal." Wang Dong stood with his hands behind his back and watched him put food on the table.
"What a jerk you are! Why don't you come over to help?" Zhang Shixun glared at him.
"You went out to have fun and leave me alone at home, and you still have the nerve to say that?" Wang Dong picked up his chopsticks, scooped up the noodles from the bowl and took a bite, nodding and saying, "It tastes good."
"Eat it yourself, be careful not to eat too much." Zhang Shixun picked up the empty lunch box.
"Take it easy, don't get carried away!" Wang Dong replied.
Zhang Shixun raised his middle finger at him, turned around and went downstairs, and heard Wang Dong's "haha" laughter behind him.
Gao Yanei was a rough man. When he saw Zhang Shixun coming out, he hurriedly called for his followers to bring the horse over.
It was Zhang Shixun's first time riding a horse. He sat upright on the horse's back with a stiff posture.
Fortunately, there were many people on the road, and Gao Yanei's followers were leading the horses in front and walking very slowly.
On the way, Gao Yanei ordered his followers to buy a lot of food, such as melon seeds, candies, braised meat, etc., and also bought a few pots of wine to take with him.
Zhang Shixun saw that he was very interested, so he asked, "Does Yanei often go to listen to music?"
"Yes, I go to the tile houses to play when I have nothing to do. Sangjia Tiles, Bei Tiles, Zhong Tiles, and Li Tiles are all places I often go to. There are places like the Lotus Tiles, the Peony Tiles, the Elephant Tiles, and the Yaksha Tiles. I stay there all day long."
Gao Yanei started talking about tile-making, and he immediately opened up: "I love to listen to purinating songs, small songs, and also like to listen to history, nonsense, and three-point talk... Oh, and I also like to watch sumo wrestling, hehe! Those fat women wrestling is really exciting, it makes people feel itchy inside."
"Yanei, you look very lewd when you talk about these things." Zhang Shixun said.
"As a man, who wouldn't be like this?" Gao Yanei said disdainfully: "I'll take you to a brothel someday. Once there, I don't believe you can handle it."
"I am a good man and I don't go to those dirty places." Zhang Shixun said seriously.
"You've never been to a brothel?" Gao Yanei tilted his head and looked at him, seeming very curious.
"No!"
"I don't believe it."
"Believe it or not."
Zhang Shixun thought of Gao Yanei from Water Margin and said, "Yanei, I heard you don't have a good reputation. You drool when you see beautiful women."
"What is drool?"
"Drool is saliva."
"Brother, you're talking like I'm a pervert."
"Aren't you?"
"Of course I'm not." Gao Yanei looked aggrieved, "I only have one wife at home, not even a concubine."
Zhang Shixun curled his lips and said, "Don't be ridiculous. The famous Gao Yanei doesn't even have a concubine. Who would believe it?"
"I swear to heaven, I really don't have a concubine. If I'm lying, heaven will punish me with lightning!" Gao Yanei cried out that he was wronged.
Zhang Shixun glanced at him and said, "That's not right. I heard that you often bully men and women outside, force good women into prostitution, and even like to steal other people's women."
"What did you say?" Gao Yanei was puzzled. "Bullying men and women? Forcing good women into prostitution! Who told you that? Why don't I remember robbing a woman from me?"
"Since you've forgotten, let me remind you. It's said that on a certain day in a certain month of a certain year, Yanei went to the Dongyue Temple for a visit and accidentally saw a beautiful woman. The moment he saw her, he was stunned by her beauty."
