Chapter 159 Eyesight
Hua Wanli invited Shen Qingyue for tea, and it wasn't just for the sake of drinking tea.
It was only because she had told Shen Qingyue some time ago that she could tell a man's physical condition, whether he had concubines, maids, or other maids at home just by looking at him.
Shen Qingyue was a little skeptical, thinking it was impossible. "You're not a mind reader, how could you possibly know so much?"
Hua Wanli was only two years older than her, how could she possibly know these things?
Even someone who grew up in the Wan Hua Lou couldn't possibly do that.
Faced with Shen Qingyue's disbelieving gaze, Hua Wanli felt it was necessary to prove herself.
So she took Shen Qingyue to Chunbuwan and picked the best spot with a view of the street.
You can see people on the street in front of you through the window.
Then Hua Wanli told Shen Qingyue about this person's situation.
“Look at that man, his steps are unsteady, his eyes are dark and lifeless, and his pupils are a little cloudy.”
This kind of person is a typical example of someone who is obsessed with beauty and whose body is completely drained.
He has a weak spleen and kidneys; nowadays even a child could knock him down with a single punch...
With a "thud," the man Hua Wanli had mentioned was accidentally bumped by a little beggar and immediately swayed and squatted down on the ground.
"You little brat, are you blind?!" The man sitting on the ground didn't even have the strength to get up and chase after them.
"See, I told you I was right!"
Judging from that, they probably just came from Xiushui Tower over there.
Or perhaps the family has just taken in a concubine or maid.
This kind of man, no matter how beautiful the flowers at home are, will still cheat on his wife with someone else.
Unless you cut him up right after you get married, he definitely won't behave.
"Even if he marries a princess, he'll still find ways to cheat on her." Hua Wanli said, shaking her head.
Shen Qingyue didn't speak, she just nodded.
Wasn't that young master just now the young master of the Marquis of Annan's family?
She's so young, and all she does is visit brothels.
I heard that he has a lot of concubines and maids at home. Even so, as soon as a new girl comes to Xiushui Tower, he runs away faster than a rabbit.
The young ladies in the capital city had the utmost contempt for this kind of person.
"Hey, Sister Yao, look at that one in blue."
"That guy who's all showy and has a long sword at his waist, did you see him?" Hua Wanli pointed to a man outside the window.
Shen Qingyue peeked out.
Oh, isn't this the eldest grandson of the Duke of Anguo?
I heard that he married the Fourth Princess. On the surface, they seem to be a loving couple, but in reality, he has more than one mistress outside!
"He looks respectable, as if he doesn't look to the side, but his eyes are actually constantly moving."
Just now, a young woman walked past him.
He deliberately glanced to the side while adjusting his sleeves, and even took two deep breaths.
Such people are usually very abnormal.
He probably has a shrewish wife at home who suppresses his lecherous nature.
Given the opportunity, he will reveal his true nature.
"Sister Yao, you should stay away from this kind of person, understand?" Hua Wanli said seriously.
Shen Qingyue nodded subconsciously.
She seemed to have heard Aunt Dongmai say that this prince consort kept many women and male prostitutes in his two outer residences.
On several occasions, several women and male prostitutes escaped, their bodies covered in injuries.
In the end, it was only with the help of the King of Qin that the matter was covered up, and only then did they get past the Fourth Princess.
"Sister Yao, choosing a man is like choosing your own face powder."
What others like may not be suitable for you.
You have your own favorite face powder, the kind that doesn't smell bad at first but isn't unpleasant, and then smells better and better the more you smell it.
But, it's the capital!
It's so nourishing.
Not only do they raise women like delicate flowers, but they also raise men in a way that is neither fish nor fowl.
"Sigh, there's no top-quality perfume here!" Hua Wanli sighed.
It seems impossible for her to find someone she finds pleasing to the eye in the capital.
If that doesn't work, she could try following her mother's example and go to the Jiangnan region to look around; maybe she could find someone like her father...
Shen Qingyue remained silent.
Actually, not all men in the capital are like the ones you see on the street.
The boys in their household, though young, are definitely not the type you see on the street...
"Miss Wanli, tell me, what kind of man do you consider a good man?" Shen Qingyue asked softly.
Hua Wanli's eyes never left the window.
“Okay? Actually, there are some, but so far, I’ve only found one in the capital.”
"Who?" Shen Qingyue was immediately curious.
"My brother! Don't be fooled by the fact that my brother has always been surrounded by women since he was little."
He's actually still a virgin!
I guess he's seen too many beautiful women, so he sees everyone as the same.
That's just how he is in this life—carefree and irresponsible, even though he's quite skilled in martial arts. He just doesn't like to show it off.
Tell me, what girl would be blind to like someone who only likes writing fiction?
"Apart from my younger brother, I really haven't found any other man in the capital who can keep himself faithful," Hua Wanli said while looking outside.
Shen Qingyue paused.
That's not necessarily true.
Who knows, his younger brothers might grow up to be the kind of people who remain unmoved by temptation and have gentlemanly manners!
After all, when her father married her mother, he didn't have a single concubine or mistress.
It was because of this that my grandfather was willing to let my mother marry my father.
"actually......"
"Oh dear, I spoke too soon. I was just saying that there's no one else like my brother in the capital!"
"Where did this come from?!" Hua Wanli quickly tugged at Shen Qingyue's sleeve, gesturing for her to look outside.
Shen Qingyue peeked out.
Just then, I saw a young man riding a horse, escorting a carriage as it slowly approached.
The man had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a face as handsome as jade.
Even though he was riding a horse, you could still tell that he was tall and slender.
His gaze was fixed straight ahead, as if everyone on the street was irrelevant to him.
So it was him!
Shen Qingyue smiled, then glanced at Hua Wanli, who was staring intently.
“Sister Yao, look at him, even on horseback, his back is still straight.”
What does this mean? A strong back and good stamina indicate a resolute person who won't be swayed by beauty.
Also, look at how he jumped off his horse.
His footwork was solid, his body remained still, and his lower body was stable.
besides......
Huh, why did he stop at the entrance of Spring Festival Gala?
Are you here to have tea with your elders?
"How come I've never seen this before!" Hua Wanli found it increasingly strange as she looked at it.
I looked back at Shen Qingyue one last time.
He saw her looking at him with a smile.
"You...know this person?"
"So you know this person. What do you think of him?"
"Peony among perfumes, the finest!" Hua Wanli uttered these words.
