Volume 6: Dream Record Chapter 436 Yuan Xudong Conquered Ge Zhaodi
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is summer. The business of the half-covered teahouse opened by Zhao Pan'er and others is getting better. If Yuan Xudong hadn't arranged people to protect them secretly, how could these young and beautiful ladies have thrived in this huge city of Tokyo? Whether it is the ruffians who want to extort money or the dignitaries who are greedy for their beauty, they are not something these weak women can deal with.
Privately, Yuan Xudong sent people to teach a lesson to those hooligans who wanted to extort money, or those colleagues who wanted to cause trouble for Zhao Pan'er and the others. There were also those noble sons who coveted Zhao Pan'er and the others' beauty, especially one named Shen Ruzhuo, who actually launched a mad pursuit of Song Yinzhang. According to Zhang Haohao, this bastard young master liked to pursue those musicians, and after getting them, he would play with them for a while, and then give them to his superiors to gain a future.
Shen Ruzhuo had an greasy face and powdered hair. According to Zhang Haohao, those ignorant young ladies liked such effeminate men, as if men should be weak and those strong men were all vulgar and rough. Yuan Xudong was very angry, especially when Shen Ruzhuo once dared to break into Song Yinzhang's private room without permission and wanted to take off her veil to take a look. Song Yinzhang refused, so he secretly took away Song Yinzhang's white jade hairpin and teased her, saying that he would return her hairpin if she agreed to date him. Yuan Xudong was so angry about such a dandy man who wanted to seduce his woman that he laughed instead. That night, at the Jinling Lake where he wanted to date Song Yinzhang, the unlucky boy fell into the water and was drowned. His father wanted to make trouble for Song Yinzhang and the Banzhaimian Teahouse. The next day, someone found his head cut off, which was suspected to be the work of the hat demon.
Of course, some people would not believe it, such as Gu Qianfan and those old ministers of the Qingliu faction. They wanted to use this as an excuse to arrest Yuan Xudong, the eldest son of Xiao Qinyan, and take him to the Imperial City Division. Yuan Xudong took advantage of the situation and asked his father Xiao Qinyan to introduce him to the emperor and the queen. Yuan Xudong was a good fool and he fooled the emperor and the queen without much effort. In their eyes, Yuan Xudong was no different from a god.
Yuan Xudong showed off some of his skills using black technology, and also sent some precious elixirs to the emperor and empress, such as Fire Qi Pills, Water Charm Pills, etc. He also introduced other elixirs to them, such as longevity pills, beauty pills, and even more advanced elixirs. His purpose was naturally to use the court to collect those rare and precious medicinal materials that are hard to come by.
The emperor gave Yuan Xudong a nominal title of imperial teacher, which was a high position but not great power. Fortunately, Yuan Xudong did not care about these empty titles. He only wanted to collect those medicinal herbs. Seeing that Yuan Xudong was not greedy for power and wealth, and only wanted to collect medicinal herbs to refine pills, the emperor and the empress trusted him even more, and gave him a gold medal that said "the emperor is present in person", allowing him to freely call on medicinal herbs from all over the world to refine pills.
Yuan Xudong was overjoyed, and he put 99% of the precious medicinal materials he collected into his own dimensional space. He used the remaining 1% to refine pills, and then shared half with the emperor and empress, so that the preciousness of the pills could be better reflected.
The days passed like this, and because of Yuan Xudong, Xiao Qinyan became more powerful. The old guy originally thought that Yuan Xudong was pretending to be a god to fool the emperor and the empress, but later, he also believed that Yuan Xudong was the reincarnation of a god from heaven. He also secretly collected many precious medicinal materials and asked Yuan Xudong for help in making pills. As Yuan Xudong expected, he wanted Yuan Xudong to help make longevity pills. This low-end version of longevity pills can allow the person who takes it to live to about 100 years old, and the upper limit is 120 years old.
The specific effects vary from person to person. Considering that Xiao Qinyan was his father in this life, Yuan Xudong gave him a 10% discount and then shared the pills with him equally. Xiao Qinyan was overjoyed and kept praising Yuan Xudong for his filial piety.
Following the example of the superiors, the subordinates followed suit. Those ministers all came to Yuan Xudong privately to ask them to make pills. Those who had a bad relationship with the Xiao family asked others for help. Yuan Xudong accepted all requests and collected a lot of medicinal materials in a very short time. The medicinal materials needed for alchemy were all made up by him. Most of them only needed some ordinary medicinal materials as the main medicine. Those precious medicinal materials were hidden by him in the dimensional space. They are more valuable than gold and jewelry. If a thousand-year-old ginseng were placed in modern times, how much do you think it would be worth?
Outsiders all believed that Yuan Xudong was the reincarnation of a god, but Zhao Pan'er and others never believed it because they felt that Yuan Xudong was too lustful. How could a god be so greedy for beauty?
However, it is better if Zhao Pan'er and the others do not believe it. Yuan Xudong does not want his women to be believers of gods. That is too terrible. Such a simple life is most suitable now. No matter how the outside world changes, Yuan Xudong just needs to guard his own piece of land. Isn't it comfortable to lie in the land of gentleness?
…
That evening, there was a long queue in front of Zhang Ji's Yikousu stall on Zhuque Street. Yuan Xudong and Ge Zhaodi stood at the back. Ge Zhaodi watched the owner pack the cakes for the customers one by one. As the number of cakes on the chopping board became less and less, she became more and more anxious, fearing that they would be sold out before her turn.
When it was finally Ge Zhaodi's turn, there were only two shortbreads left on the chopping board. She and Yuan Xudong were eating one each. Just as she took out two copper coins and was about to give them to the boss, a figure suddenly came up to her and said loudly:
"Boss, give me these two!"
"Okay!"
"What are you packing?"
Seeing someone cutting in line, Ge Zhaodi, who had been waiting in line for a long time, said angrily:
"Why are you still cutting in line?"
As she spoke, she turned her head and saw that the person who cut in line was actually the spy from the Imperial City Bureau whom she had met once before, Gu Qianfan's younger brother Chen Lian.
When Chen Lian heard Ge Zhaodi say that he cut in line, he frowned and said:
"Who cut in line? I just bought something here, but there are two stoves missing. The boss told me to come over and get them later. If you don't believe me, just ask!"
Seeing the boss nod, Ge Zhaodi immediately complained to him:
"Boss, why didn't you tell me earlier? You've made me and my son wait in line until now!"
Then, she looked at Chen Lian and discussed:
"How about this, we each take one?"
"One for each?"
Glancing at Ge Zhaodi, Chen Lian said unhappily:
"Dream on!"
"you……"
"Okay, stop arguing!"
Seeing that Ge Zhaodi was still trying to argue with Chen Lian, Yuan Xudong spoke up to stop her. Knowing that the little girl liked to eat Zhang Ji's crispy pastry and had waited in line for such a long time, Yuan Xudong looked at Chen Lian and said with a smile:
"My dear little brother, I am really sorry. My little girl likes to eat the crispy pastry here. She has been waiting in line for such a long time. Can you please give up one?"
"Okay!"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong was dressed in rich clothes and had the appearance of a modest gentleman, Chen Lian agreed to give Ge Zhaodi one of the bite-sized cakes. Yuan Xudong thanked him again and after paying the money, Yuan Xudong took Ge Zhaodi to the east, while Chen Lian walked to the west.
Yuan Xudong took Ge Zhaodi away from Zhuque Street, and after many turns, they walked further and further away, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around, until they walked through a dark alley. Suddenly, the view in front of them opened up, and they came to the bank of the Bian River. The surface of the river was sparkling, and the willows on both sides of the river were drooping, and the wind gently brushed across the river, creating rippling waves.
Taking a shortcut to the vicinity of Osmanthus Alley, Yuan Xudong turned around and looked at Ge Zhaodi who had been following him closely. Seeing that she was still holding the oil-paper wrapped pastry, he could not help but asked in surprise:
"Zhao Di, why don't you eat?"
"Sir, I'll keep it for you!"
It turned out that Ge Zhaodi accidentally met Yuan Xudong while shopping, and said that Zhang Ji's Yikousu was delicious. Yuan Xudong had nothing to do, so he went to queue up with her. As a result, he could only buy this one Yikousu, so Ge Zhaodi left it to Yuan Xudong. Speaking of which, she often ate Yikousu, and Yuan Xudong had never eaten this one, so she thought of leaving it for Yuan Xudong to try how it tasted.
Yuan Xudong was not particular about food. He was fine with delicacies from land and sea, as well as simple meals. Knowing that Ge Zhaodi was greedy, he smiled and said:
"This is for children, you eat it!"
"Who is the child?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong calling him a child, Ge Zhaodi pouted unhappily and said:
"If you don't eat, then I won't eat either!"
"Okay, then we each eat half?"
"Okay, okay!"
Looking at the excited Ge Zhaodi, Yuan Xudong smiled, took a piece of pastry from her hand, peeled off the layer of oil paper wrapped around it. He did not tear the pastry open, but gently pinched it with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and then handed it to Ge Zhaodi's mouth.
Seeing him like this, Ge Zhaodi's face turned slightly red. She looked up at Yuan Xudong, then quickly lowered her head, and then silently took a bite of the piece of pastry that Yuan Xudong was holding between his fingers. Her lips and teeth gently touched Yuan Xudong's fingers, and her face flushed with shame. She ate the half of the pastry she had bitten off into her stomach. Before Ge Zhaodi could breathe a sigh of relief, Yuan Xudong stuffed the remaining half of the pastry into her mouth. This time, Yuan Xudong did not let go. He just gently pinched the piece of pastry, and Ge Zhaodi slowly ate it into her mouth, along with Yuan Xudong's fingertips. Her warm little tongue slid gently over the pads of his fingers and licked all the crumbs of the pastry on her fingers clean.
After eating a bite of pastry, Ge Zhaodi blushed with shyness. Although she had a tomboyish personality, she was still a girl after all. Facing Yuan Xudong, she was more shy than the average little girl because she liked Yuan Xudong. When she saw Yuan Xudong for the first time, she liked him in her heart. After spending these days together, she knew what kind of person Yuan Xudong was. With a little dressing up, in the words of Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang, she was also a little beauty. There was no guarantee that Yuan Xudong would not have bad ideas about her. After all, he was just that kind of person. He liked to play tricks on people and bully girls, especially young and beautiful girls. Ge Zhaodi felt that although she was not as beautiful as Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang, she was younger than them and had more energy.
This was indeed the fact. As a role model of a scumbag, a sea king, and an old driver, he could tell at once that Ge Zhaodi liked his look. He fed her a bite of pastry so intimately just to test her further. As a result, it was proved that Ge Zhaodi really liked him. For those beautiful girls who liked him, Yuan Xudong could not bear to let them suffer from lovesickness. Since they wanted it, Yuan Xudong would satisfy them.
In fact, in this feudal era, Yuan Xudong was born into a noble family, was handsome, and had excellent character. He was extremely attractive to girls, especially to someone like Ge Zhaodi, who had never been cared for by anyone. From her name, it can be seen that her parents and family must be patriarchal. On the contrary, Yuan Xudong treated her very well, warmed her, and cared for her. How could she not be moved?
Generally speaking, it’s not that girls don’t like honest men or good men. If there is a rich second-generation who is honest, good, and handsome, then he is a male god, and it is no problem for beautiful girls to throw themselves into his arms. But on the contrary, if he is just an honest man or a good man , then it’s better to be good friends. After all, a forced melon is not sweet, right?
In short, Yuan Xudong is rich, handsome, and has a very high social status. He also has sweet words and tricks to coax girls. Oh no, he's finished. Even if people know that he is a scumbag, there are still girls who will come to him one after another. After all, if a girl is pretty, there will be boys who will lick her like a dog. And vice versa, as long as the guy is good enough, he will have a lot of good girlfriends. This is probably love. Nothing else matters. It is enough to love him. If she dislikes your shortcomings, it only means that your strengths are not enough to make up for your shortcomings.
We have strayed off topic, let's continue talking about Yuan Xudong. Under the bright moonlight, no one knew when it started, but Yuan Xudong took Ge Zhaodi into his arms. He held her waist with one hand and the back of her neck with the other. He gently kissed her lips and licked the crispy crumbs on them clean. It was really sweet, warm, fragrant and soft, making people unable to stop.
After a while of lingering, Yuan Xudong let go of the girl. Looking at her misty eyes, he knew that she was already moved. Yuan Xudong smiled slightly in her ear and said:
"This bite of pastry is so delicious, warm, fragrant, soft and rich, it makes people unable to stop eating!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong teasing her, Ge Zhaodi naturally said nothing, but shyly hid in his arms. What would happen next? Naturally, Yuan Xudong took Ge Zhaodi back home, secretly, so as not to be discovered by Zhao Paner and the others. After a whole night of romantic affairs, Yuan Xudong gained some experience points, and Zhaodi also matured a lot. She was no longer an ignorant girl, but had grown up thoroughly.
…
At the same time, in a restaurant in Qiantang County, Fu Zifang, with dishevelled hair and dirty face, was eating voraciously from a large table of food. Compared with a few months ago, Fu Zifang had lost a lot of weight, and the sleeves of his clothes were obviously shorter. Just looking at his dishevelled appearance, he was no different from a beggar on the street.
Next to Fu Zifang sat two men sent by Yuan Xudong to Qiantang County to see him. Yuan Xudong had promised Sun Sanniang that he would send people to Qiantang County to see how her son Fu Zifang was doing. Now it seemed that without Sun Sanniang, his life was getting worse day by day, and he was like a little beggar. Fu Zifang ate meat with big mouthfuls while mumbling:
"I am really Sun Sanniang's son, not a beggar. When you return to Beijing, take me with you. When you see my mother, I will give you money!"
"OK!"
