Chuanwen stretched out his left hand, oh no, his right index finger shook, no no no, with an air of "Let me tell you the story slowly," "One day, Grand Tutor Zheng was craving something sweet, so he bought a candied hawthorn. Every time he took a bite, a tooth would stick out of his mouth, and he would stick a tooth on the candied hawthorn stick. When he finished the candied hawthorn, he found his mouth empty. He looked down and, well, all his teeth were on the sticks."
This is acceptable?
The girls had expressions that said, "Are you kidding me?"
"Then... what does this have to do with you not being frustrated?"
One of the girls in the group of girlfriends asked. She was the youngest among them, named Zheng Ning, fifteen years old, one year younger than Chuan Yu and the others, and one year older than Chuan Wen.
"Others can eat even with dentures, but I can still gnaw even with bandages wrapped around my mouth."
Chuanwen held up the pig's trotter in her hand, which made the others laugh.
"You guys eat too."
Chuanwen pointed to the large and small bowls of food in front of her, but her sisters all shook their heads, saying, "We just like watching you eat."
It's not that they don't want to eat, but they don't have Chuanwen's good physique. Chuanwen can eat as much as he wants and won't gain weight, while they gain weight even from drinking water. How could they dare to eat and drink so much?
Seeing is believing, so they really enjoy watching Chuanwen eat. They feel that everything Chuanwen eats tastes delicious, and they even poke his chubby cheeks with their fingers from time to time.
Chuanwen was always speechless at this point. She'd lived two lives; she could be their mother, yet they were praising her for being cute...
A few girlfriends watched Chuanwen's mukbang video and chatted about gossip. Recently, for some reason, a lot of gossip has suddenly emerged in Beijing.
Chuanwen blinked, quite interested; who doesn't love gossip?
The first piece of gossip is that the wife of Liu Zhangmin, the censor of the Censorate, attended a banquet the other day. Upon returning home, she took her two sons and one daughter back to her parents' home, insisting on a divorce from Liu Zhangmin. As for the reason, it seems that Mrs. Liu was ridiculed at the banquet, but the girls don't know what was being ridiculed.
The ministers couldn't help but whisper about what Chuanwen had said in the Golden Palace, but none of them let their unmarried daughters hear it.
Several girls were speculating about the reason. Some guessed that Lord Liu had been discovered to have a mistress, some guessed that Lord Liu was too fond of his concubine, and others guessed that Lord Liu might have offended the emperor and was going to be punished, so Lady Liu was trying to avoid trouble in advance.
Why? Did Madam Liu discover Lord Liu's peculiar fetish? The others shouldn't know, right?
Unaware that he had become the culprit, Chuanwen guessed for a moment, then shook his head, denying that it was probably not the reason.
The second piece of gossip is about Liu Kala from the Ministry of Revenue. It is said that this Lord Liu once accidentally fell into the latrine while squatting in the outhouse. Not only that, he actually swam around in it a few times and swallowed some excrement!
The girl, who had never heard of this gossip before, stared in shock. Even Chuanwen was starting to doubt himself. How could she have gone swimming? It wasn't mentioned in the plot.
How big is his outhouse?
A round-faced girl named Cheng Wanrong exclaimed in surprise. Chuanwen wholeheartedly agreed, but then wondered if it was also possible that her outhouse was built to the specifications of a swimming pool, so she could take a few laps in it while taking a dump. Chuanwen quickly shook her head, thinking, "I can't think about that, she's still eating."
Noticing Chuanwen's conflicted expression, the sisters quickly ended the suggestive topic and started talking about the Zhang family.
It is said that the Prime Minister's house was robbed. The thief went to steal from a concubine's courtyard in the middle of the night. When he came down from the roof, he found the concubine and the guard having an affair on the roof beam. Someone yelled, and the Prime Minister's mansion became lively.
Prime Minister Zhang rushed over, but the thief had already fled. However, the affair between the concubine and the guard could no longer be kept secret.
Prime Minister Zhang was furious and investigated thoroughly. It turned out that eight out of ten concubines were having affairs, and the remaining two were only recently admitted to the household and probably hadn't had a chance yet.
Then, for some reason, Prime Minister Zhang insisted on investigating whether the sons born to his concubines were his biological children.
After finishing the pig's trotters and switching to the pork knuckle, Chuanwen fell silent, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed. In the story, Zhang Hui never discovered his concubine's affair until his death, let alone that his sons weren't his. His entire family was killed by the Third Prince.
How did a thief suddenly appear?
Chuanwen quickly checked the plot and found that the plot had indeed changed, but she was even more confused.
[The thief was actually Zhang Hui himself!]
He not only climbed the roof beam of that unfortunate concubine, but he climbed the roof beams of all the concubines' roof beams. Did he have some kind of strange fetish?
Zhang Hui, who was bedridden, suddenly sneezed. Who the hell is talking about me again!
Chuanwen suddenly shuddered and continued listening to her girlfriends' gossip.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that the sons he had carefully taught were not actually his. Prime Minister Zhang was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot. He is still bedridden now.
The group sighed in dismay.
"But why would you have an affair on the roof beams?"
Chuan Yu was surprised; wasn't he afraid of falling?
"I heard it's to avoid being discovered. Even if they make a noise on the roof beam, the maids and servants will just think it's a mouse."
This is acceptable?
The group silently applauded the concubine and the guard; the two of them were really going all out for their affair.
After a moment of sighs and sympathy, the conversation turned to Princess Baohui's residence.
The glorious deeds of the Lady of Chaoyang County shocked several girls with normal values to the point of speechlessness. After hearing that Zhou Yong had been imprisoned, the Lady of Chaoyang County refused to eat or drink and insisted on seeing him.
Princess Baohui was furious, but she was also worried that something might happen to Chaoyang, who was already malnourished, so she agreed.
Everyone thought that after seeing the person, Chaoyang would cry and beg Princess Baohui to save him. However, Princess Chaoyang immediately slapped Zhou Yong hard across the face, leaving everyone stunned.
"But wasn't Princess Chaoyang head over heels in love with Zhou Yong, even refusing to eat or drink and threatening Princess Baohui to bring her to see him? Has Princess Chaoyang finally come to her senses?"
The young woman named Mu Qing had just felt most sorry for the county magistrate of Chaoyang, and thought that the county magistrate of Chaoyang was a bit dim-witted, but now she was happy.
Cheng Wanrong was most familiar with this matter, so she continued the story.
The first thing the Chaoyang County chief said after beating the man was, "You're not Zhou Yu!"
Then he turned around and resolutely ran out of the cell, leaving Zhou Yong there completely bewildered.
The group looked at each other, and finally Chuanyu asked, "Why?"
Perhaps... it's because Zhou Yong has become unrecognizable.
Cheng Wanrong guessed.
Zhou Yong was already injured before he went to prison. After he was imprisoned, they neither allowed him to see a doctor nor apply any medicine. His wounds were oozing pus, and his face was even more horrible. He had been whipped before, and now there were signs of ulceration. It was unsightly.
Everyone sighed again.
