The next day, Xiao Ren came early in the morning, and he was also going to Ci'anzhuang.

While eating wontons at Aunt Lei's stall, Shen Tong whispered to Xiao Ren what he had heard from Mr. Chi.

Xiao Ren's brows twisted into the word "Sichuan", and said: "There are so many twists and turns of these readers, annoying!" ”

Shen Tong was very curious, and said: "Since this matter can be known even by an idle cloud and wild crane like Mr. Chi, Prince Qin must have known about it for a long time, you help inquire, what is wrong with that Mao Yuanmei, which will make the reader feel ashamed?" Also, how can he make the little emperor so important to him? ”

Xiao Ren was a little strange and said, "Tongtong, why are you interested in the affairs of the court?" Could it be for ......"

He pointed to the north, meaning the king of Yanbei County.

Shen Tong shook his head with a smile and said, "You guessed wrong, I just felt curious, and I don't know what it is, Mr. Chi seems to be unable to speak." ”

Well, Xiao Ren understands, to put it mildly, Tongtong is still a teenage girl, what they are really interested in is not the turmoil in the court, but these extremely boring gossip.

Xiao Ren called Xiao Lizi and whispered a few words to him, and Xiao Lizi turned around and ran away.

As soon as the group left the city, there was a shout behind them, Xiao Ren turned around, and it turned out that Xiao Lizi rode a horse to chase after him.

"Got it so soon?" Xiao Ren asked.

Xiao Lizi grinned and said: "The little one hasn't arrived at the palace yet, and halfway through, I saw Mr. Li Sinan's sedan chair, so I asked him, Mr. Li saw that it was small, and he knew that it was Qishao who wanted to ask, and he would not hide it, and he told it all to the small one, and it was not a secret, it was just a rumor in Beijing, Mr. Li said, please listen to the story of Qishao, don't take it seriously." ”

After Xiao Ren quietly told Shen Tong the "story" he heard from Xiao Lizi, Shen Tong's mouth was wide enough to fit an egg.

Mao Yuanmei has a problem, he likes seventeen or eighteen-year-old beautiful boys.

All dynasties, from kings to literati and scholars, good men abound, and some of them are also passed down as beautiful talks, which have been passed down through the ages.

But Mao Yuanmei's liking is slightly different from those people.

He never goes to places like men's halls and small halls, and he likes to find chance encounters on the street.

Mao Yuanmei would wander the streets every day after leaving the government, staring intently at the people who passed by, and sometimes he would go to the restaurant and tea shop, and sit for two or three hours, also looking at everyone who came in.

Of course, there are no such people in the market, but those people look at big girls and little daughters-in-law, and what he is looking for is a beautiful young man.

Whenever there is a person he likes, Mao Yuanmei will follow him all the way, go to a place where there is no one, and invite the young man to the inn on the grounds that he wants to paint for it.

Some young people are not more than anything, seeing that he is old enough to be an elder, and he is a literati, so he does not doubt him, and follows him to the inn.

After the work, he would really give the painting with the seal to the boy, and then make a poem and an inscription for him.

Mao Yuanmei has real talent and learning, his paintings are good paintings, poems are good poems, and words are also good words.

In addition, this kind of thing is ashamed to speak, some teenagers are already immature, and they can only hide their faces in his coaxing, and some are stupid and naïve, thinking that they have met a noble person since then, not only do they not hate him, but they have really become "poetry friends" and "painting friends" with him, and they have been in a relationship with Mao Yuanmei for a long time, until they are getting older and are disgusted by Mao Yuanmei.

Of course, he also encountered hard stubble.

Hooking up failed, when he was beaten up on the street, and when he was acting in an inn, he was beaten by a teenager and his nose was bruised.

On several occasions, Mao Yuanmei was not only beaten, but also alarmed the government, and the people from the government came, and when they saw that it was someone from the Mao family, they made him lose money.

Even those teenagers who left with calligraphy and paintings and suffered a dumb loss also regretted it afterwards and found the Mao family to ask for money.

Although the Mao family has repeatedly covered it up, these ugly things of Mao Yuanmei are still spreading in the capital.

Yu Shi has participated in it a few times, but it is over, there is no way, although Mao Yuanjiu ignores this cousin, but if you really step on Mao Yuanmei under your feet, then you have offended the Mao family, and even offended the Yang family.

So, although all the people in the Hanlin Academy looked down on Mao Yuanmei, he was still able to mix quietly in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, and he showed off his talent as a Hanlin bachelor in front of the beautiful boy he liked every once in a while.

As for why the little emperor was impressed by Mao Yuanmei, Li Sinan didn't say, but according to Xiao Lizi's observations, when Li Sinan talked about it again, his words flickered, and his eyes were extremely obscene and trivial.

Xiao Ren is a military general, and he is young, he is not as unspeakable as Mr. Chi.

Since Shen Tong wanted to know, he found out again, so he told her.

"Are those teenagers stupid? Can you be deceived like this? Shen Tong was surprised, this is too easy to deceive.

"Or you are stupid in reading, or you are not from a high background and have no knowledge, and when you meet a Hanlin bachelor, you think that you have finally climbed the ladder to enter that circle, but you don't know that there is no shortcut in this world." Xiao Ren said disdainfully.

Shen Tong sighed, she felt that she had read too little, and she still couldn't understand things between men and men.

I don't know if there are any books about this.

In short, Shen Tong has always been self-aware, but if she doesn't understand things that she doesn't understand, she can't figure out, she will blame herself for reading too little, and afterwards, she will find books to read, she believes that although she has no talent in reading, but she keeps reading, it's much better than not reading.

It was almost noon, and the group arrived at Ci'an Village.

Shen Tong and Xiao Ren didn't let anyone report in advance, so the county lord of Yining didn't know that they would come over today.

When they arrived, the county lord of Yining was watching the children weaving mats.

There was a maid's mother-in-law in Ci'an Village who made a living by weaving mats, and it happened that the children's house was about to be replaced with new mats, so the lord of Yining asked the mother-in-law to teach the children to weave mats.

Five or six fourteen or fifteen-year-old children sat in the shade of the trees, talking and laughing, weaving mats and reciting the lessons taught by the husband.

The county lord of Yining shook his small fan lightly and also talked and laughed with them.

When Shen Tong walked over, the maid saw her and was about to speak, when Shen Tong made a silent gesture at them.

The maids knew that Shen Tong and the county lord of Yining were handkerchiefs, so they pursed their lips and snickered, and stopped making a sound.

Shen Tong tiptoed behind the county lord of Yining and blindfolded her.

The county lord of Yining was startled, but she quickly calmed down, turned her brain, and said with a smile: "Tongtong, are you back?" ”
