Yesterday, the Jiang fu married off a daughter. Their Third Miss, a shu daughter, became Zuo Langzhong's furen, giving rise to enthusiastic chatter from the people in the capital. That a shu daughter could achieve such high prospects made her a shining example for the entire Great Jin. They only knew that, the day before, the guests had thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the hosts had waited upon their guests attentively. What other hidden situations transpired could never be known to anyone.

For example, on the second day, when the sun was high in the sky, Langzhong fu's maidservant and xipo[1] arrived to collect the blood-stained cloth that proved the bride had been a virgin. The maidservant had stood outside the door and called out several times without getting a response, so she assumed that Master was tired, and pushed open the door to enter the room.

[1] 喜婆 (xi po) – in ancient times, this refers to the woman who looks after the bride during a wedding; could also refer to a matchmaker.

Upon entering, her nose was immediately assaulted by a heady fragrance which she could not identify. The maidservant lowered her head and called softly, "Master, Furen."

She waited for quite a while but received no response. The xipo also felt that something was strange, so she worked up the courage to look in the direction of the bed. The bed's wide expanse of muslin curtains were billowing slightly, and one could see naked bodies intertwined. The old xipo's face flushed and she cursed inwardly. She thought, as expected, this shu daughter had no sense of propriety. How could a new bride be so uncaring of propriety and comport herself like a prostitute?

The xipo smilingly called out, "Furen?"

Perhaps because they finally heard the xipo's voice, the person on the bed cried out in a high voice, and then, after much tumbling about, a hand pushed aside the curtains, and a dazed voice asked, "Who is it?"

The xipo took one glance at the bed and was dumbfounded by what she saw. She let out a high-pitched shriek, which caused the maidservant by her side to raise her head and peer at the bed. With just one glance, she was transfixed. The two of them looked at each other, wordlessly took in the panic in each other's eyes, and bolted from the room, screeching.

The sound was so piercing that almost all the Langzhong fu's servants and subordinates were drawn to the room. The woman on the bed appeared to regain her senses somewhat and suddenly realised that something was not right. She looked down and immediately started to screech herself.
On that spacious bed lay two men without a stitch of clothing on!

Her piercing voice finally roused the two men on the bed, who slowly woke up.

Jiang Li was on the verge of collapse. At that moment, she was utterly naked, and her exposed skin was splotched with green and purple patches. The red lines marked on her fair skin clearly told the story of just how wild the previous night's activities had been.

One of the men rubbed his eyes as he woke up, and said in an annoyed tone of voice, "What's all this noise? If you continue with this ruckus, this prince will teach you a lesson you won't forget." It was Xuan You.

And the other man . . . Jiang Li shook all over. Zuo Jiang opened his eyes and was flabbergasted.

"Slut!" Zuo Jiang slapped her fiercely.
