Chapter 16: The Ups and Downs of Heaven and Earth (1)

Xiang Ye stood outside the study, watching "Hucheng Yushan Map" being hung back on the wall again, feeling complicated.

The "painting theft" incident, which caused an uproar, quietly perished on the shore after a huge wave was made on the sea.

After the investigation of the yamen, the collection of paintings was finally found in the storehouse of Lord Mei. The emperor was afraid of the anger of the people and the ink of the ministers, dismissed the official, and ordered him to return to his hometown to support the elderly, so as to educate his children and grandchildren.

The eldest girl of the Mei family was going to marry Wang Changshun of the Wang family this year, but because of this incident, the marriage was also yellow, so she had to return to her hometown with her father. The second girl had just been released back to the court to get an errand, and now she was immediately transferred to a remote place, which was not the intention of the emperor or the Yan family, but the subordinate officials stammered and made excuses to release people early.

Although he is a world-famous thief, the strangest thing is that although the people who were stolen hated him and would raise money to hunt him down, they would never report to the authorities. Therefore, to this day, he has neither a criminal record nor an unsolved case, and is still fleeing in style.

Xiang Ye looked at the painting and thought, its life is destined to be inseparable from politics.

After a few days, the solar term was pushed forward again.

Dong Di went out to the clothes shop she opened to collect the accounts, this clothes shop was her mother took the money and opened it, at first her mother just hoped to open a store for her to collect her heart, don't be so profligate, but I didn't expect this clothes shop to get better and better, and within two years, she earned back the money to open the store.

Dong Yan's clothes shop is not on the bustling main street, but there are many delicious shops around, she just finished collecting the account, and her stomach was also hungry, so she struggled for a while whether to eat wontons or roast duck, and finally chose to wrap a roast duck and bring it to the wonton stall to eat.

After sitting for a while, a pretty boy sat down across the table.

Dong Di's hand holding the duck leg was greasy, and the lipstick on the side of her mouth was also dizzy, she raised her eyes and found that there was a pretty boy with a single eyelid on the other side, and her heart flickered, she took a bite of the duck meat, handed over the duck that had been gnawed to half a bite, and asked, "Little boy, do you want to eat some?" ”

The single-eyelid boy on the opposite side obviously had no experience in the world, and when he saw a girl with a greasy mouth and oily hands handing him roast duck, he couldn't help laughing at first, and then waved his hand at Dong Di with a little red face, and said to her: "Thank you girl for your kindness, you can eat." ”

Dong Di didn't care too much about him when he looked at him, shrugged his shoulders, and gnawed on himself by himself, but he liked him very much in his heart, and he had already imagined an interesting picture of fishing and grilled fish with him in the future.

The little boy's wontons came up, and Dong Di asked with a needle: "Are you studying for the exam recently?" ”

The little boy was a little surprised, and replied: "How do you know?" ”

Dong Di smiled and said, "When I first saw you, your eyebrows and eyes were very sharp, which made people feel determined. The temperament is good, at first glance, it looks like a reader, there are more rented houses in this area, and most of the scholars who have recently entered Beijing to take the exam live here. So I guess, you're one of them. ”

The little boy bowed his head and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I've been observing the girl for a long time, but I really can't see what you're doing, girl." ”

Dong Di ate a wonton and said to him with a smile: "Come with me to the lake to read the book, a light boat, little boy, what you want to know, what you don't want to know, will know in the end." ”

The little boy didn't expect her to meet directly, his face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head to eat wontons.

Dong Di stepped up his offensive again, and said with a smile: "Don't misunderstand, little boy, I made an appointment with a boat early today, planning to go fishing on the river, and when I first met my son, I felt speculative, so I wanted to invite you to go with me." There are a lot of people on the boat, and they are all boats that are packed together by anglers, so it doesn't matter if the little boy doesn't want to go if he has something. ”

The little boy on the opposite side looked up at her with a red face, only to see her eating wontons in small bites, revealing a small piece of white neck.

The little boy was about to speak, when a person suddenly sat down next to him, put his hand on his shoulder, and said casually: "It's not easy for this boy to take the exam from other places, and you can't bear to deceive others?" ”
