I really can't tell that you're actually this kind of Yuanjing!
When Liu She found out where Master Yuanjing was staying, he found out from the boy servant that Master Yuanjing had brought a group of students to Ji Shan to soak in the spring. It was estimated that they would be soaking for a few days. Liu She, who had come empty-handed, had a slightly cracked expression on his face. Was he supposed to wait for a few days?
In that room, Liu She was extremely depressed.
Why was he depressed?
He could not possibly bring his daughter to the hot spring to look for Master Yuanjing, could he?
Although hot springs were also divided into male and female hot springs, they were separated.
Not only that, but in recent years, the culture had gradually become more conservative, and the status of women had been declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. The belittling of women in the outside world had also caused their freedom to be restricted, which led to the cold weather. Most of the people who went to the spring were men, and there were almost no women.
Even if there were women, most of them would be noblewomen of noble families. There would be people following them in and out to avoid accidents.
Wasn't it ridiculous to ask Liu She to bring his daughter to a men's spa just to find Yuanjing?
However, if he did not look for Yuan Jing, he could only wait until he was done playing with his students and left Ji Shan.
If Master Yuan Jing was so powerful, why didn't he predict his plan? Why did he choose to soak in the spring at this critical moment?
Annoying (ノ ω <) ノ) ☆.
Liu She silently hated Yuan Jing for a while. He sighed and continued to think of a solution.
Before he could come up with a solution, Feng Ren took the initiative to invite Liu She to Ji Shan's hot spring to relax. He had even thought of a reason.
"The assessment is around the corner. The young talents of Dongqing will gather in Shangjing. These days, all kinds of scholarly gatherings and poetry gatherings are happening one after another. Zhongqing is always busy with work, so he should take a break from time to time. Ji Mountain is a popular place for scholarly gatherings and poetry gatherings. Why don't we go together? "
Although he said that he was fooling around, he could actually take the opportunity to visit Dong Qingjun incognito and see what kind of person he was in the examination hall.
Liu She pursed his lips and didn't say anything. When did the Secretariat become so free?
Judging from Feng Ren's familiarity with the hot spring, he was probably a regular customer of Ji Shan's hot spring, the kind that would go there every few days.
On the other hand, Liu She was only the County Chief of Hu County, but he had been busy for a few years. He worked day and night, and he didn't even have a holiday.
He took the salary of a county governor and did the workload of an emperor.
Feng Ren was one of the top Head of the Secretariat, a real high-ranking official. How could he be so free?
After hesitating for a while, Liu She decided to ask for his daughter's opinion. If she said yes, then he would go. If not, then he would wait a few more days.
Needless to say, Jiang Pengji's answer was to go!
"Why not?" Jiang Pengji asked Liu She.
Liu She opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
That's right, why not?
But daughter, you are a daughter!
Liu She's mind was in a mess. He felt that he and his daughter were thinking about different things.
Due to geographical reasons, there were many natural hot springs in the northern part of Dongqing. Among them, Mount Ji, which was near Shangjing, had the highest concentration.
During the Great Xia Dynasty, the royal family had built a hot spring palace in Ji Mountain, and several generations of emperors had expanded it.
Those emperors held the hot spring in high esteem. Many books and unofficial histories even believed that the hot spring had the miraculous effect of increasing one's lifespan, prolonging one's life, and curing all kinds of diseases. It was also respectfully called the 'Immortal Spring' by many common people.
Whether it was the royal family or the common people, they loved the hot spring very much. Especially in late autumn, they couldn't wait to move.
After the fall of the Great Xia Dynasty, the world was divided. Dongqing established the dynasty with Shangyang County as its capital, which was now called Shangjing.
Mount Ji, which had many hot springs, was near Shangjing. It only took one to four hours to get there by horse carriage. The distance was short and it was very convenient.
The royal family of Dongqing took advantage of the previous dynasty. They slightly renovated the original hot spring palace and changed it into a new royal palace.
Because two or three generations of emperors of Dongqing were incompetent, their goals in life were to seek pleasure and pleasure. Naturally, they paid great attention to the hot spring palace that brought them joy. They visited it four times a year, and each visit lasted at least a month. Each visit was a waste of manpower and money.
There were many hot springs in the Ji Mountain range. The largest area was occupied by the royal family and became the Royal Hot Spring Palace. The other areas were occupied by various aristocratic families and wealthy merchants. They were converted into hot spring hotels of different sizes and served different guests.
The rich and powerful could enjoy quality service, and the common people could also experience hot spring in ordinary hot spring hotels.
Therefore, when the weather was cold, the hot spring hotels were especially popular.
Mount Ji's hot spring was not just a place to soak in hot springs. After many years of development, it had long become a tourist attraction centered around the hot spring. Not only could one soak in hot springs, but there were also wine shops, tea houses, restaurants, and shops that sold all kinds of exquisite small goods. In addition, there were many scholars and beautiful ladies who held elegant poetry gatherings. There were even many brothels and brothels.
At night, it was as bright as day.
The Feng family's horse carriage drove all the way from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. Finally, it stopped in front of an extremely luxurious mansion.
When they got out of the carriage, there were already many luxurious horse carriages parked neatly around it. Upon closer inspection, there were all kinds of family emblems on the carriages.
"If it wasn't for Xiande leading the way, I would have thought that this was a mansion of a noble family. I couldn't tell that it was a hot spring hotel."
Other than the common people, the other gentry families didn't build hot spring hotels to make money. They built them to provide a place for their children to have fun and enjoy themselves.
The hot spring hotel that Liu She saw was many times more luxurious and larger than his Liu mansion!
Extravagant and luxurious!
Other than these four words, he couldn't think of a better way to describe it.
"This is under the name of Prince Changshou. It's said that it was built according to his mansion. During the evaluation month, it's open to all young talents for free. That's why it's the place that holds the most gatherings and poetry events. The more the merrier, the more the merrier. I'm just here to join in the fun. "
Liu She was speechless. Jiang Pengji, who was behind him, secretly chuckled.
She didn't expect that such a mature guy like Feng Jin would have such an interesting father.
Feng Ren's words were very clear. He came because the hot spring hotel was luxurious and exquisite, and it didn't cost him any money.
"Prince Changshou …" Liu She frowned. "… He's so brazenly trying to win me over … He's really ambitious …"
Liu She had spent all his energy on Hu County in the past few years. He didn't pay much attention to the various forces in the court.
Even though Gu Min had told him that Prince Changshou would be one of the contenders for the throne in the future, Gu Min's history was not good. She only remembered that the guy had been eliminated very quickly and was a coward who was too soft to listen to. The only famous advisor under him was Qiguan Rang … All this information had led Liu She astray. He had the impression that Prince Changshou was the same, cowardly, weak and useless.
Feng Ren coughed and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the hot spring first before we talk about this."
They picked up their bowls to eat meat and put down their chopsticks to curse … They hadn't enjoyed the free hot spring provided by Prince Changshou, so they didn't talk about it for the time being.
If they wanted to talk about it, they had to wait until they enjoyed the hot spring.
Liu She was speechless.
