That Master Fu was probably a man who took an unconventional approach, and was also... a dissolute, frivolous, and shameless man. He had taken advantage of Kong Wenmin enough along the way. Yes, he had taken advantage of her with both his hands and his mouth. Kong Wenmin was concerned that he was Fang Zuotang's honored guest, so she endured it all the way. As soon as he was sent to the destination, he turned around and left without even drinking a sip of water. Even so, she had developed the habit of wanting to take a detour when she saw a fair and thin man, just like a girl who was extremely afraid of a pervert...
Huh?
Why does this sound weird?
However, there was a fair and thin man that Kong Wenmin did not take a detour with. Not only did he not take a detour, but he even got closer to him. At this moment, Kong Wenmin was in a clothing store, choosing clothes for this fair and thin man.
"Sir, do you want to buy some clothes for yourself?" The shopkeeper of the clothing store came up to him enthusiastically. "Sir, our shop has just received a batch of summer clothes. Isn't it getting hot soon? Look, for someone with your figure, this one is most suitable..."
"No," Kong Wenmin interrupted the shopkeeper's chatter, "I'm not wearing it, I bought it for my friend."
"Is that a lady or a gentleman?" asked the shopkeeper.
"It's a young man," Kong Wenmin said as he walked around the store, then walked to a moon-white silk long gown with a slanting collar, pointed at it and said to the shopkeeper, "This one is good."
"Sir, you have a good eye. This one just arrived today. The material and workmanship are both excellent," the shopkeeper said attentively. "Sir, what size do you want?"
"Well, he is two inches shorter than me, and his shoulders are an inch and a half narrower than mine," Kong Wenmin said as he recalled the last time he took care of Chen Qingxuan and changed his clothes in the inn, "His waist is much thinner than mine, about... one foot as long as mine."
As Kong Wenmin spoke, he opened his hand and used his thumb and middle finger to indicate the distance. Seeing that the shopkeeper said nothing, Kong Wenmin thought that the shopkeeper didn't understand, so he explained: "That's it, seven and a half inches."
"Okay, I understand," the shopkeeper looked Kong Wenmin up and down with a very complicated look. He took out a gown of the right size, wrapped it up, and handed it to Kong Wenmin. He also took out a sachet from under the counter and stuffed it into the gown. Then he said to Kong Wenmin with an apologetic smile, "This gown is not cheap. I hope you will accept this little gift."
Kong Wenmin paid the money and left with his bag. As soon as he went out, he saw Ma Zhiming. Ma Zhiming was wearing casual clothes and was walking hurriedly. Kong Wenmin hurriedly followed him. When he was about to call Ma Zhiming, he saw Ma Zhiming enter a tavern called "Feihualou". Then Kong Wenmin stopped and didn't follow him. While looking at Feihualou not far away, he wondered in his heart, why would Ma Zhiming go to Feihualou?
The food and drinks at Feihualou were very ordinary, but there was a high-end gambling house upstairs that was doing good business. Kong Wenmin really couldn't understand why Ma Zhiming went to Feihualou to eat, so he didn't think much about it and just walked forward with his bag.
…
Wind and rain courtyard.
Fengyu Courtyard is the courtyard mentioned by Zhong Mingwei and Chen Qingxuan before. Since Chen Qingxuan and Gu Qingtong arrived in the capital, the two have lived in Fengyu Courtyard. On weekdays, Gu Qingtong goes to work in the "Renhuitang" across the street, and Chen Qingxuan studies hard at home to prepare for the exam. Their lives are plain and fulfilling. Now that Chen Qingxuan has won the first place in the imperial examination, people on the streets are talking about who this first place winner is, but this courtyard is still quiet and peaceful. Gu Qingtong still goes out early and comes back late to work in the medicine shop every day, and Chen Qingxuan is still studying at his desk. Chen Qingxuan has always been a calm and unpretentious person, and Gu Qingtong has become much quieter and silent since arriving in the capital.
