On the 11th day of the first lunar month in the 29th year of Hongwu...

A trace of sunshine shone on Liu Wenyang's eyes. He opened his eyes hazyly and found himself lying on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt, while the little Tong Mingyue curled up and lay at his feet, sleeping soundly.

Liu Wenyang gently lifted the quilt, then got up and put it on Mingyue's body. Mingyue moved, whispered a few times, and fell asleep again.

Liu Wenyang felt soreness in his body, but he was very energetic. Especially when he looked around, he realized that it was not his home, but his new place was changed.

He took the water and washed it casually, then walked out of Guanxiang Pavilion, but saw the rising sun, like a red ball in the tender green of spring, extremely magnificent.

Liu Wenyang stretched out one arm and couldn't help but act Tai Chi on the lakeside.

Tai Chi was a very popular national fitness exercise in his previous life, but it was a rare thing in this era. Especially Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng seemed to have just passed away, and the Tai Chi he founded had not yet spread in the world. Only a few people knew about this kind of boxing.

Of course, Liu Wenyang is not a martial arts master, and the boxing skills he practices are just some physical and physical fitness. In this era, compared with those real masters, he is the kind of person who is instantly killed.

But no matter what, after a long punch, Liu Wenyang still felt relieved and had no previous back pain.

At this time, the two maids who served food last night brought the food again. When they opened the basket, they saw that it was some light food.

Liu Wenyang basically didn't eat anything last night, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of appetite. He picked up the chopsticks and started to work hard at the delicacies. He ate it happily.

The maids next to him saw him as such a handsome scholar, but they were so greedy when they ate, and they couldn't help but laugh.

"Young Master Liu, eat slowly. If it is not enough, we will send some more!" One of the pretty maids laughed softly.

Liu Wenyang licked his lips and smiled at the maid, "Don't bother you, these are enough, but I'm ugly, so I laughed at you."

The two maids were about sixteen or seventeen years old, and they were just the age when they first started to fall in love. Liu Wenyang himself was gentle and handsome, which made them feel a little bit of reverie.

"Young Master, don't be so polite. The master has told us to serve you well. By the way, my name is Chunmei, and her name is Qiuju." Chunmei is as pleasant as her name, and a dimples appeared on her cheeks when she smiled. "If you have anything in the future, just tell us. If I am not here, you will look for Qiuju, but we have always been together. If you find her, you will find me!"

Chunmei likes to talk and keeps talking. Qiuju just laughs but doesn't talk much.

Liu Wenyang has a good impression of these two maids and feels that it is much easier to get along with than the cold Shiqin.

"Thank you for your kindness, the two girls. If something really happens in the future, I will trouble you!" Liu Wenyang smiled at them and revealed his eight teeth in an iconic way.

Chunmei and Qiuju felt a bright light in front of their eyes, and they felt that the smile was extremely bright, which was indescribable to warm the heart. They also felt that the people in front of them were so outstanding in terms of appearance and temperament, and they were a handsome young man, so they showed a hint of admiration in their hearts.

"By the way, Mr. Liu, this is three hundred taels of silver bills. It was my master who asked us to hand them over to you. She said that you have just been here for a while. In a few days, it is the Lantern Festival. You can go out for a good trip and wait until the festival is over before starting business!" As he spoke, the maid Chunmei handed the silver bills to Liu Wenyang.

Liu Wenyang couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that Chun Shisanniang was so good at being a human being. He hadn't done anything he came here yet, so he gave him three hundred taels of silver bills. Since he knew how to be a human being, he could not fall behind. So Liu Wenyang took out ten taels and handed them to Chunmei and Qiuju and said, "You can take this little money, which is my wish. I came here from afar and didn't bring you any gifts. You can buy whatever you like!"

This time, Chunmei and Qiuju were stunned and hurriedly said, "No! Young Master, you must not, we cannot collect your money. If the master knows that we will scold us!"

"Haha, this is just my little intention, not too much. You take it. If Thirteenth Lady asks, I will speak for you!" Liu Wenyang smiled.

"But--" Chunmei and Qiuju seemed very hesitant.

Liu Wenyang said again: "You said you would help me just now. If I have anything to do, just tell you, just ask you to accept this little money, you are not happy!"

Chunmei glanced at Qiuju, and Qiuju also looked at Chunmei. She wanted to reach out, but she was embarrassed.

Liu Wenyang stopped stumbling and directly stuffed the ten taels of silver to them and said, "Okay, we will officially become friends from now on! If I have something to do in the future, don't shirk it!"

"How could it be? We will do our best!" Chunmei and Qiu Ju smiled.

In fact, Chunmei and Qiuju are both ordinary maids in Chunfenglou. They usually have specifications and standards for food, clothing, and basically don’t have much private money. Occasionally, they are rewarded with pocket money during festivals. But that’s not much, it’s just hundreds of cents. As girls, who doesn’t like to buy some rouge, watermelon, and scented scarves and squids? But where does this money come from? It’s not something that can be saved by saving money. It’s not like Liu Wenyang, who is so generous, rewarding them with ten taels of silver at once. It can be said that they are so happy.

Carefully hiding the reward, Chunmei couldn't help but praise Liu Wenyang, "I really don't understand. I am as gentle and elegant as the young master and have a generous move. Why doesn't Shiqin like you?"

Liu Wenyang was stunned, "Does she not like me? How do you know?"

Chunmei said, "How come we live together, how could we not know? Yesterday, she turned cold as soon as she returned to the house and said that she had met a villain!"

Liu Wenyang touched his face awkwardly, not to mention that this "villain" is himself.

"And she should have given money today, but she asked us to do it. Needless to say, she didn't want to see you, young master. Hey, I don't know that you are such a generous person. But I missed your reward!" Chunmei kept chattering, "To be honest, the girl Shiqin is younger than us. Logically speaking, she should have called us sister, but she usually relies on her master's favor for her, not only does not respect us, but also always shouts at us!"

Qiu Ju next to her couldn't help but pull Chunmei's clothes with her hand, and Chunmei said, "What are you pulling me? I'm not saying the wrong thing! Aren't you bullied by that little girl enough? Humph. She only acts as a fox and a tiger with a chicken feather as a command arrow all day long, and she really thinks she is an amazing big shot!"

Qiu Ju became even more anxious and whispered to Chunmei: "Don't... stop talking!"

"What don't say! Even if the girl stands here, I still have to say loudly, I just don't like her, how about it?! Can she still let her master drive us out?!" Chunmei became more and more angry and her voice became much louder.

At this moment, "You spring plums are chewing behind your back again, why am I afraid of the root of my tongue!" But I saw that the maid's zither appeared at some point.

Liu Wenyang couldn't help but be stunned.

Chunmei couldn't help but be shocked.

The Qiuju said with a bitter face: "I won't let you say it long ago, you just don't listen. Now she heard everything."

Seeing that things had come to this point, Chunmei gritted her teeth and said, "So what if I hear it? Let her complain. What else would she do besides complaining? Which of the whole Chunfeng Tower heavy work is not what we do?!"

Seeing that Chunmei was still stubborn, Shiqin sneered: "I won't be like some villains, but only speak bad things in private! What's the use of being awesome? Be careful that if you say too much, you will be punished by your master sooner or later!"

"What did you say..." Chunmei was about to come forward to argue, but Qiuju pulled her away.

Liu Wenyang also changed the subject and asked Shiqin, "I wonder what Miss Shiqin is doing here in such an early morning?"

Shiqin then ignored Na Chunmei and sneered: "What are you doing? Look at a flirting with two shameless servants!"

In fact, Shiqin came over because she was worried about the three hundred taels of silver, but she didn't expect to hear Chunmei's words.

Liu Wenyang didn't expect this girl to be so vicious, so he directly labeled himself as a "flirtatious person", so he said without hesitation: "So sorry, the flirtatious person in your eyes wants to eat now. Some people who are annoying, it's better to leave immediately!"

"You---" Shiqin took her eyes and said, "Don't be too proud. My master is kind to you now, maybe he will throw you away in the future! Like garbage!"

"Hey, you seem to be very jealous when you say this. Do you say you secretly like your master and are you jealous of her treating me?" Liu Wenyang asked suddenly.

Shiqin's pink face suddenly changed color, and she said angrily as if she was touched by her worries: "What are you talking nonsense? A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" After that, she left angrily.

Liu Wenyang just said casually, but he didn't expect Shiqin's reaction to be so big. He couldn't help but guess, could they... they are really lace-edged?!

Someone couldn't help but fantasize in his heart that Chun Shisanniang and Shiqin, the little loli beauty, were wearing loose clothes on the bed, kissing me, what...

Holding the chopsticks in his hand, he could no longer eat them, so Liu Wenyang put the three hundred taels of silver notes in his hand, then woke up the little boy Mingyue who was still snoring in his dream, and said to him: "Let's go, go out to spend money!"

...

Now there are two days left before the Shangyuan Festival, but the entire Poyang County has already been decorated with lights and is extremely festive.

As a wealthy county town, there are many shops that do business and buy business, and there are endless streams of customers from all over the country. Many ladies and daughters will also show up at this time, buying some rouge, powder, silk and satin, just to dress up for the Lantern Festival night and show their beautiful appearance. As for the scholars and madmen, they are busy preparing paper, ink, pens and inkstones, or buying books for guessing riddles, preparing for Lantern Festival night to show their talents, attracting the attention of beauties.

When Liu Wenyang first came to the county town, he could not help but walk around, but he was not interested in the groceries he was selling and lacked enthusiasm for the fan calligraphy and painting. On the contrary, those book stalls attracted his attention the most.

Speaking of the fact that after so long in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Wenyang's biggest feeling was that he had a lack of entertainment and culture. He had nothing to do every day except eating and observing appearances. The best way to understand the boredom is to read. Of course, the books Liu Daguanren read were not eight-part essays, but some popular novels of judging.

At this moment, he was standing in front of a book stall and flirting and picking. The owner of the book stall asked him with a smile: "What book do you want to read by your master? I have poems, songs, Confucius and Mencius, and of course there are also good nouns and sentences gathered at the Poetry Competition Conference last year."

"Poetry Competition?" Liu Wenyang heard such words for the first time.

"Ha. You can tell that you are from another place when you look at the young master. This poetry competition is an annual event in our Poyang City. We chose to be held on the Lantern Festival. At that time, talented men and beautiful ladies from all over the world gather together to recite poems and write pairs. Finally, through everyone's recognition, the best person in poetry will be selected and praised!" The owner of the book stall rarely popularized such knowledge to people, but he said it very in detail.

After listening to it for a long time, Liu Wenyang understood that this "poetry competition" was like the entertainment activities such as "I am a singer" in his previous life, but he changed the singing to a poem chanting pair.

"Young Master. If you are interested in participating in this kind of competition, you will buy some of my books such as poetry. As the saying goes, you will read 300 Tang poems well and you will be able to recite them even if you can't write poems. At that time, you may be the first and the best!"

Liu Wenyang was not interested in such events, not to mention how much he had, he knew very well. So he went through and picked it up and said, "I want these!"

"Oh, it's great!" The owner of the book stall thought he had caught a big fish, and the poetry booklets were sold at a high price. But when he saw that Liu Wenyang was choosing... the cheapest lyrics!

These song books are usually sold to the country people, and they are not worth much money. How could a handsome young man like Liu Wenyang buy such things?

The book stall owner was surprised and smiled and said, "Young Master, are you kidding? Do you really buy these?"

Liu Wenyang: "There are still fakes, I will buy these as a pastime."

"Haha, if you want to have fun, I'll introduce you to a better one..." The stall owner blinked his eyes in a lewd manner, as if the aunts who sold yellow discs on the streets in their previous lives.

"Ahem, what else is there?" Liu Wenyang asked in a very humble manner.

Seeing that he was so good, the stall owner said even more enthusiastically: "Of course the good things are inside, please help me!"

Liu Wenyang understood it and followed the stall owner into the shop. Not to mention, the stall owner soon found a stack of black and white paintings and colorful spring palace scrolls from under the shop.

"Look, these are all good things, written by the famous master, vivid and erotic..." The stall owner recommended.

Liu Wenyang looked around a few casually, but he felt that the ancient paintings were really not satisfactory, especially why did this woman paint them as fat girls?! Men paint them as Fan Wei? They all have big faces and thick necks...

Liu Wenyang didn't know that most of the spring paintings of the Ming Dynasty inherited the legacy of the Tang and Song dynasties. The Tang Dynasty regarded fat as beauty, and it was inevitable that the beauties in these paintings were all fat girls who had eaten too much from McDonald's.

Seeing that Liu Wenyang flipped over and over, he just didn't speak. The stall owner said, "I don't know which book the young master likes. If you like it, I will open a low price for you. It can be considered as making friends. I will visit the store more in the future!"

Liu Wenyang didn't expect that this little boss would do business. He also read it for a long time. I'm really embarrassed. Besides, although these scrolls are not as good as his wishes, they are better than nothing. It's okay to take them out occasionally to relieve boredom. So he said to the stall owner: "I'll have all the books and the lyrics I just selected, so I'll pack them for me!"

"Okay, I knew that the young master was the kind of cheerful person!" The stall owner was very happy to work hard.

After paying the money and paying the bill, Liu Wenyang asked Xiao Tong Mingyue to bring up the book he bought and continue shopping to see the scenery.

At this moment, Liu Wenyang walked out of the book stall. As an outstanding representative of "beautiful men", it inevitably caused many women to discuss their opinions. However, women's admiration for Liu Wenyang has caused many men to be dissatisfied. In their opinion, Liu Wenyang is useless, just a little white face.

Therefore, from time to time, the young masters on the roadside will glar at Liu Wenyang. Liu Wenyang doesn't care about this. He is a mediocre person who is not jealous of others. Similarly, he is an ugly man who is not hated by others, and he is not even more handsome as he is so friends.

If you are jealous of the same kind, Liu Wenyang and Liu Daren can barely accept it; but if you are jealous of the same kind, he can't accept it.

On streets like this, there are inevitably some guys with greasy and pink faces. When they see the handsome young man and handsome man, they can't help but tease each other in order to sing a song "Chrysanthemum Platform" together.

But they mistakenly regarded Liu Wenyang as the target of teasing.

At first, Liu Wenyang was still able to endure it, but after being teased by those guys with greasy and powdery faces for a long time, his answer was... and punched directly, "Dog head, pester me to break your mouthful teeth again!"

Immediately, the guys who liked "Rabbit" all scattered in shame.

Originally, he came to the street to have fun, but unexpectedly he was full of anger. However, compared to Liu Wenyang's unhappiness, Tong Mingyue was extremely happy. Just because Liu Wenyang gave him three taels of pocket money, he bought a lot of good things, such as candied haws, candy man, and the crackling rattle.

Liu Wenyang frowned and looked at Mingyue carrying so many things, and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect you to be a shopping maniac! I can understand these candied haws, but why do you still buy this rattle? You are no longer a child, but you are so childish!"

While biting the candied haws, the little Tong Mingyue said to her young master: "Young master, you don't know, but this rattle was bought for me! I bought it for my little sister in the family!"

Only then did Liu Wenyang remember that there seemed to be a little sister in Mingyue's family. She should be six or seven years old this year, and she seemed to have a runny nose and had twin girls on her head. The last time she went to his house to deliver New Year's goods, she was pulled by Mingyue's mother and insisted on keeping her for dinner. The little girl ran into her arms and made her new clothes full of snot and laughed and cried. (To be continued...)
