Chapter 252: Terrible Sister-in-law
Chapter 252: Terrible Sister-in-law
You don't necessarily have to pick the soft persimmons, but you must pick the ones that aren't prickly.
It's foolish to touch someone who risks amputation by doing so.
After Jiang Xinyu and Bao Beibei recognized each other, they wished they could be together every single hour of the day.
Unfortunately, due to their status, besides sneaking off to the back mountain, they often had to rely on Xiao Yuan to cover for them.
The meeting between the Marquis of Zhenguo and his wife and the National Preceptor of Nanzhao was hardly a diplomatic event; people's imaginations could only linger on a three-line text at most.
If Lady Hou were alone in a meditation room with the young and handsome Zen Master Miaowu, that would be a scandalous story.
This thing spreads faster than intelligence; I reckon it won't be long before new tunes are playing in teahouses everywhere.
A Few Stories Between a Charming Eunuch's Wife and a Romantic Monk
After marrying a eunuch, I fell in love with a master.
What can save you, the unsatisfied female benefactor?
Never underestimate the imagination of the ancients; they were far more ingenious than modern people when it came to human reproduction.
Modern people only spread such things privately.
The ancients were different; in many places, they openly worshipped those small dolls.
There are even those who worship fertility totems.
However, unlike the information equality of today, this kind of thing in ancient times was two extremes.
The girl probably knows, but the boy probably doesn't.
Girls, especially those from wealthy families, were often kept in their boudoirs until they were married in order to prevent them from coming into contact with such things or men.
She was surrounded by maids and servants, cutting off all contact with these things, euphemistically called chastity.
Boys, on the other hand, are not subject to any restrictions. In some places, parents even pay people to teach boys these things when they are twelve or thirteen years old.
But once you get married, you enter a new phase.
Especially for men, once they get married and have children to carry on the family line, their families become much more lenient towards them in this regard.
If the family has good reputation and character, it's fine; at most, they'll take concubines or sleep with maids.
Those who lacked manners would hire actors and courtesans, sleeping with them in brothels and even openly forming sworn brotherhoods.
As for those erotic stories, they have been passed down for generations, after all, ordinary people don't have that much entertainment.
Seeing the jokes of the upper class, they all swarmed around like flies that smelled blood.
They not only listen, but also embellish their own interpretations based on their own imagination.
It can be said that rumors were the earliest form of fan fiction, and new elements would be added after each instance of rumor.
Xiao Yuan was extremely reluctant to stay in the same room with these two; it was too much of a test for his nerves.
Every time he watched the two of them act together, he felt an urge to grab a knife and stab them.
He used to think his wife was shameless enough, but after meeting his sister-in-law, he realized there's always someone better.
Is their fairy cave poisonous?
These people are so shameless, don't they know how to be ashamed?
He didn't want to stay here, and neither did Jiang Xinyu and Bao Beibei.
With him around, it's inconvenient for the two of them to talk about the apocalypse and other topics. It's really annoying when things get a little heated and then suddenly stop.
But they couldn't let Xiao Yuan leave.
Thus, a strange scene appeared in the meditation room of the Nanzhao National Preceptor.
The Marquis of Zhenguo sat far away in a corner, watching with murderous intent as Zen Master Miaowu embraced the Marquis's wife, whispering and exchanging affectionate glances.
It's fortunate that no one else knew about it, otherwise this explosive story would have been passed down for years.
Bao Beibei originally left Nanzhao just to relax, but now that she has Jiang Xinyu, she has no desire to go back to being a holy monk.
The reason he didn't run away wasn't because he didn't want to, but because he knew life in the countryside was too hard, and that a good-looking, unregistered person like him would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Now that we have a powerful patron, what are we waiting for? This lousy monk can be whoever wants to be him, he can't be a sister to me at all.
Jiang Xinyu naturally didn't want her best friend to leave her. Since the Grand Preceptor of Nanzhao couldn't stay in Dajin for long, she had to give Beibei a different identity.
Of course, the Imperial Advisor couldn't just disappear or die for no reason.
This is a major event concerning the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If those fanatical believers in Nanzhao knew that their national teacher had died in Dajin, they would go crazy.
These two mischievous friends would plot whenever they had free time, and combining plots from countless melodramatic novels from their past lives, they finally decided to play the role of Xiang Fei turning into a butterfly and flying away.
Isn't Miaowu a highly accomplished monk?
Then let's go a step further and have him ascend to heaven in broad daylight to completely confirm that this legendary Buddhist disciple is no ordinary person.
Since the people of Nanzhao are devout Buddhists, surely they wouldn't object to their Buddhist disciples ascending to heaven!
This ascension absolutely cannot be done secretly, otherwise everyone would have to plot against it.
If you're going to ascend, then do it openly and confidently, and the more people who witness it, the better.
Wasn't the Quanrong delegation also there?
Summon them all, including the Nanzhao merchants who recently entered the capital. Don't think she doesn't know they're all spies.
A mind that reads a lot of novels is really useful; the two of them devised a series of scenarios to make a name for themselves at the debate.
Bao Beibei can attract lightning, and Jiangxinyu can create rainbows and water mist through the refraction of water and sunlight.
With Xiao Yuan's men providing backup, they could easily create a scene of sudden enlightenment, ascension, and refining their golden body through heavenly lightning, all under the watchful eyes of the public.
To be honest, Chief Supervisor Xiao was not happy about it; he couldn't wait for Bao Beibei to get out of there.
The eldest sister-in-law of the long-necked bird is really a headache. He always feels that his forehead is flashing dark green and light green.
However, he also knew that his wife was not one to listen to advice. If his sister-in-law could not stay in Da Jin, his wife might run away to play with her best friend.
Then he'll really be left alone in his empty room, since his position means he can't possibly chase after his wife.
Is there any husband in the world more aggrieved than him?
Not only do I have to watch other men being affectionate with my wife every day, but I'm also forced to keep my rival behind.
Xiao Yuan felt he could change his name, so he changed the "Yuan" in "Yuanbo" (meaning profound knowledge) to the "Yuan" in "Yuandatou" (meaning sucker).
Today, Jiang Xinyu went on another date with Miaowu at the back mountain. There, he didn't need to cover for her, and Supervisor Xiao stayed in the meditation room to make plans out of the sight of her.
Just then, Jin Zekang arrived and immediately accused him of neglecting his duties. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
He dared not offend his wife, nor could he afford to offend that wicked sister-in-law. It would be too frustrating if he didn't say something to his brother-in-law.
Jin Zekang is habitually sarcastic, and seeing that Xiao Yuan was indeed in a bad mood, he stopped teasing him.
"Give me a straight answer on what exactly happened. When can you go back to work?"
Nearly half of the female relatives of high-ranking officials in the court came to the temple, but none of them accompanied them every day.
What are you worried about? My sister is the kind of warrior who can slap an elephant away.
If you really encounter an assassination attempt, your only worry is that she might be too ruthless and leave no survivors.
As Xiao Yuan watched Jin Zekang chattering away, a thought suddenly struck him: wasn't this a perfect example of homosexuality?
Why don't we send my sister-in-law to the Regent's Palace? Better to die for my friend than for me.
He wasn't doing it for himself; he was afraid that this guy would harm his son and daughter-in-law if he came to his house.
Given He Zhang's appearance, if Miao Wu didn't flirt with him, he'd probably end up writing his name backwards.
Now that Twelve and He Zhang are getting along better and better, he doesn't want to bring back such an oddball to cause trouble.
He wasn't trying to monopolize his wife's time; he's a good father who cares about his son.
