Chapter 168 I got angry after reading the chapter book
In the few days after returning from the palace, Gu Jingzhi became busy. He had to visit some elders in the capital and deal with the accounts and contacts of the mansion over the past year.
Li Xi had some free time. During her time in the capital, she had no plans to touch any herbs or develop any new pills. After all, this was the capital, with many people around, and she didn't intend to reveal her identity.
She didn't want to go out either. Although she didn't know the news outside, she could tell from the fact that she had only been out for half a day after arriving in the capital and was approached by that princess. There might be many people waiting to see her outside.
Although she is not afraid, she will of course try to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Li Xi was the type who could stay at home, so she asked Hong Tao to go out and buy her some storybooks and snacks.
I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, do a simple set of five-step boxing or Tai Chi to exercise my body, and after dinner I lie on a recliner under the shade of a tree, reading a storybook leisurely. My life is so comfortable.
However, this book is really boring. Li Xi threw the book in his hand on the table in disgust.
The previous few novels of the supernatural type were quite interesting to read, but this novel "The Story of Yingying" really makes me angry. What the hell is this?
Li Xi had heard of the name of Yingying Biography before, and knew that the protagonists of the story were named Yingying and Zhang Sheng. The content of the story was roughly about Yingying eloping with Zhang Sheng and Zhang Sheng abandoning her.
But after taking a closer look, I found that it would be better not to look at it carefully. It is really unbearable to watch.
The storybook says that Yingying and Zhang Sheng first met in Puji Temple, which happened to be during a war. Because Zhang Sheng knew a local general, he stepped forward to protect Yingying's family.
Because of this, Yingying's family hosted a banquet for him, and at the banquet, he fell in love with Yingying at first sight.
According to ancient customs, shouldn't Zhang Sheng have sent a matchmaker to propose marriage? At that time, Yingying's family only had a widow and orphans. Zhang Sheng was acquainted with the local generals, and his family should be well off. He also saved their lives, so it was very likely that Yingying's family would agree.
The book also says that he is "gentle and handsome in nature, aloof from the inside, and will not tolerate anything without proper manners" and "he is twenty-three years old and has never been close to a woman." These descriptions make him out to be gentle, resolute, aloof, and able to remain calm even when a woman offers him temptation.
But it was just such a man who, when he fell in love with Yingying, did not think of marrying her home through matchmakers and six betrothals, but instead wanted to have an affair with her.
He also said that he doesn't allow entry without permission. He is clearly a pervert and a filthy man.
Yingying's maid Hongniang asked him why he didn't use three matchmakers and six betrothals to marry the young lady.
He was not shy at all, saying that he had never been in contact with women since he was a child, and that he was too hungry when he saw Yingying. He thought that the process of matchmaking and engagement was too time-consuming, and he was afraid that he would die of thirst in the dried fish shop.
He had the nerve to say such things. And that matchmaker was no good either. She actually gave such a thing advice to help him win over his own lady.
Cui Yingying seemed to be suffering from a serious illness. She had clearly refused him righteously at first, but within a few days she was conquered and offered herself to him.
The two of them had been flirting with each other for several months without telling Cui's mother. After such a long time, if Zhang Sheng really wanted to marry her, he would have come to propose marriage long ago. Now he simply didn't have that intention towards Cui Yingying.
Later, Zhang Sheng abandoned Cui Yingying and went for the imperial examination. A year later, he failed the exam, but he still had the guts to write to Yingying with a flattering face. The scumbag wanted to get back with his girlfriend, so only Cui Yingying wrote back to him.
Men like this shouldn't live in this world, his ashes should be scattered!
She originally thought that was it, but she didn't expect that this scumbag had no bottom line at all. He actually shared Cui Yingying's reply with his friends around him and regarded this incident as a romantic affair that he was proud of. When others asked him why he didn't marry Cui Yingying, he actually said, "My virtue is not enough to defeat the evil spirit," directly comparing Yingying to a beauty who brought disaster to the country and the people.
When she saw this, her brows furrowed. For a moment, she didn't know how to express her feelings except for the national quintessence.
Zhang Sheng is a complete scumbag. He enjoyed Cui Yingying's body and emotions, but was unwilling to take responsibility. When Yingying came to her senses and no longer loved him, he was still reluctant to forget her and wanted to continue enjoying her kindness. After being rejected, he even slandered her and destroyed her reputation.
No wonder the old saying goes that most people who are loyal are butchers, and most people who are unfaithful are scholars. These sage books have really been read into their stomachs.
Li Xi originally wanted to read the storybook to have fun, but now, instead of having fun, she felt angry.
She then took the remaining few books and read them. She flipped through a few pages, read a rough outline, and then threw the book away. This book should not be read too much, otherwise it will make you angry.
"What happened?" As soon as Gu Jingzhi came in, he saw Li Xi with a look of deep resentment.
He walked over and picked up the book that Li Xi had thrown on the ground. There were three words written on the cover of the book: Li Wa Chuan.
"What's wrong? The storybook doesn't look good?"
Li Xi looked up at him with a look of disdain, "This thing is not worthy of being printed, this kind of rubbish should not exist in the world, I have never seen such a thing in my life, you sacrifice yourself for others, and then feel that you are not worthy and ask to leave.
This is some touching heroine, she is such a disgusting person. "
Li Xi took the book from Gu Jingzhi's hand and threw it on the table beside him. "Don't read it either. It will make you doubt your life."
This level is not much worse than Wang Baochuan's waiting in the cold kiln.
Just a man, the woman in this book is really enough.
Gu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He had never been interested in books like dialogues, but after hearing what she said, he became somewhat interested.
Li Xi saw the interest in his eyes, and simply followed the principle of "it's better to be disgusted with others than to be disgusted alone" and told him the outline of the story of "The Story of Yingying".
"...These two stories are like this. What do you think? Have they refreshed your knowledge?"
Gu Jingzhi: “…”
He had always thought that vernacular novels were all about stories of talented men and beautiful women. The protagonists of these two books, as A Xi said, each had their own serious illness.
"... Indeed, Zhang Sheng is hypocritical, Cui Yingying is confused, and Hongniang betrays her master. This kind of storybook seems to be unnecessary for killing time. It really should be banned."
Li Xi gave him an approving look, "That's a very good summary, it makes me upset."
"Then don't read it. I have a few local chronicles here. I'll give them to you someday."
"You've been very busy lately, how come you have time to come over at this time?"
"I'm done. The palace banquet will be held in two days. I'll tell you what to pay attention to."
"Oh, then go ahead." Li Xi hooked the stool next to her with her foot and pushed it to Gu Jingzhi.
