Chapter 176 Nanjing Customs
Shenyang Mansion
Official post station.
In a room,
Wang Sheng frowned as he looked at the two men in front of him, one standing and one kneeling.
To be more precise,
He must be a man who knows how to dress and put on makeup!
Standing among them was Xue Song, the Imperial Elder of the Southern School of Zhending, who was ordered to meet Wang Sheng and his group on the banks of the long river.
Xue Song, a middle-aged man, was dressed in a Taoist robe. From the back, he had a rather elegant and imposing air, but from the front, this middle-aged man had makeup on his face and his eyebrows were drawn.
If he were to wear red lipstick and eye makeup, it would surely disgust Wang Sheng to death.
Even now, Wang Shengyi still finds it quite disgusting.
The kneeling man was Li Weiqing, the magistrate of a small county under Shenyang Prefecture, with the cultivation level of the Innate Realm.
Li Weiqing also wore makeup, and her love of beauty was no less than Xue Song's.
"What brings you two to me in the middle of the night?"
Wang Sheng said expressionlessly.
Two days ago, when Xue Song first met him, perhaps he could tell that Wang Sheng was not very talented, so even though he was a True Intent cultivator, he ignored him.
But during the day, after news spread that Si Ming Yin Tian Zhen Jun was wreaking havoc in the north, Xue Song immediately changed his attitude and became very attentive.
"Brother Wang rarely comes to my Southern Sect. We must not let him down."
"It's too noisy and crowded during the day to discuss business. So we're bothering you at this hour, Brother Wang, to let you experience the local customs and culture of the South!"
Xue Song bowed slightly, bent over, and said with a fawning smile.
As a mere Imperial Immortal, he should possess a certain degree of dignity and arrogance.
But now, in front of Wang Sheng, he was fawning over him like Xia Xiu.
"Our southern region is different from the north; men here also enjoy dressing up and applying makeup. In their leisure time, they even compete in makeup skills. If Brother Wang is interested in making friends with learned and refined individuals in the future, I have specially invited ten handsome men to come and ask you to instruct them in the art of makeup!"
Xue Song smiled.
Because it was unclear whether Wang Sheng preferred men or women, Xue Song arranged for men to be with him first. This also gave Wang Sheng a chance to learn makeup skills so he could blend in with the upper echelons of society.
"No!"
Wang Sheng said indifferently.
"Thank you both for your trouble. I, Wang, am exhausted from my journey and just want to rest. Please return home!"
Bang bang bang!
Li Weiqing suddenly began kowtowing repeatedly, "Please forgive me, Your Excellency! Please forgive me, Your Excellency! I have failed in my duty; please punish me, Your Excellency! Please punish me, Your Excellency!"
"Brother Wang, it was my fault! You're a true man after all! That makes things much easier!"
Xue Song laughed heartily, then looked at Li Weiqing, his expression immediately turning serious, and said, "Magistrate Li, why don't you bring out your wives and concubines to serve your brother, the King!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Li Weiqing's face lit up with joy, and he nodded repeatedly. He scrambled out of the room to fetch his wives and concubines.
Even Wang Sheng's attempts to stop him were futile.
"Brother Wang, these are all customs of our southern region! You'll have to adapt."
"These inferiors are only allowed to live and enjoy wealth and luxury because of our pity!"
"Everything they have is a gift from us! Now they are simply asking us to give some to repay our kindness. This is only right and proper! We beg you, Brother Wang, to do us this favor!"
Xue Song said with a smile.
"Does the imperial court allow us to treat a county magistrate this way? Do the common people also treat their magistrate this way?"
Wang Sheng remained silent for a moment, then asked.
"nature!"
"This is a long-standing tradition in my southern region! The imperial court? His Majesty has only been here a short time, yet he has already said 'good'."
"As for the common people below, the same applies!"
"Magistrate Li is, after all, the governor of this region, their 'parent official.' Naturally, they will do everything in their power to support him."
Xue Songdao.
"By the way, Magistrate Li has quite a few wives and concubines. This is a five-spice powder commonly used by the upper classes in the south. After taking it, one feels as if floating on air, and with beautiful women and fine wine by one's side, it's even more wonderful!"
Xue Song took out a packet of medicine powder and presented it like a treasure.
Wang Sheng frowned as he looked at it.
This southern land is indeed extravagant and wasteful.
Men wear makeup and take drugs; there is a strict hierarchy.
If the barbarian army were still here, they could probably pacify this desolate place in just one month.
"Brother Xue, my elders have ordered me not to move without permission. Please forgive me!"
Wang Sheng cupped his hands in greeting.
He's new here and doesn't know anyone, so how could he possibly take drugs or mess around with women?
Upon hearing this, Xue Song's expression immediately changed, and he quickly bowed in return.
"So it was the True Lord's order! It was my fault!"
"Another day! Another day, I, Xue, will certainly apologize to Brother Wang!"
Upon hearing the words "True Lord," Xue Song was terrified and immediately abandoned his attempt to persuade him.
Just then, the sound of a group of women laughing and joking came from outside.
The footsteps were chaotic, creating quite a lively scene.
There are probably close to a hundred people!
"I'll send them away right away! They won't disturb your rest, Brother Wang!"
Xue Song cupped his hands in greeting again.
"good!"
Wang Sheng returned the gift.
After Xue Song left,
Wang Shengcai pondered the road ahead with a considerable headache.
In this southern land, the air is too heavy with femininity and pleasure-seeking. Yet, the social hierarchy is extremely rigid.
If Wang Sheng weren't currently at the True Realm of Imperial Contemplation, anyone at any other realm would likely have been affected by the atmosphere here, either falling into depravity or being driven away and killed.
"Fortunately, I am a True Realm expert and a member of the True Monarch clan!"
"Now the infamous reputation of the True Lord of Hidden Heaven is known throughout the countries! At this moment, let alone the True Lord, even Emperor Jingkang would probably not dare to touch me."
"I dare to mess with people others dare not mess with! I dare to do things others dare not do!"
"No matter how strict the hierarchy is in the south, it doesn't extend to me."
With this thought, Wang Sheng felt a little less pressure.
At least no one dared to ask him to offer up his wives and concubines.
The problem now is, how to advance to the True Lord level!
Once he becomes a True Lord, Wang Sheng can do whatever he wants.
First, crush the barbarians and kill those two True Lords who insulted him.
Let's consider whether or not to kill Emperor Jingkang. I just really dislike this guy!
Then, I took my mother home.
And that mountain-sized tomb—we'll kick it open and see what's buried inside.
Two days later.
Wang Sheng and his group arrived at Shenyang Prefecture City, which is now the capital of Nanjing.
The Southern School of Zhending is located on Zhending Mountain, which is next to the capital.
Wang Sheng and his group came to the prefectural city because Emperor Jingkang of Southern Jing issued an edict appointing Siming Yintian Zhenjun as the Imperial Preceptor, bestowing upon him a mansion, land, treasures, servants, and so on, almost comparable to the treatment of a prince.
After Si Ming Yin Tian Zhen Jun returned from the north with the head of the Cold Emperor, he went into seclusion.
Some say she suffered a severe injury. Others say she intends to use this injury to rebuild herself and break through to a higher level. Still others say that the Hidden Heavenly Lord of Destiny is on the verge of death and will soon perish!
But no matter what the rumors are, they do not affect the unparalleled combat power of Si Ming Yin Tian Zhen Jun!
The Hidden Heavenly Lord of Fate is rumored to be the number one True Lord in the world!
Wang Sheng then went to pay homage to Emperor Jingkang on behalf of the Hidden Heavenly True Lord of Destiny to receive rewards and titles!
but,
No one expected that,
Emperor Jingkang actually attached great importance to the True Lord of Destiny Hidden Heaven.
Not only did he appoint Zhenjun as the Imperial Preceptor, but he also planned to marry the princess to Wang Sheng.
