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

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

Xiao Ren's brow frowned into the word "chuan", and he said, "There are so many twists and turns in these scholars, and it's annoying!"

Chen Tong was very curious and said, "Since even a casual cloud and wild crane like Mr. Chi can know about this, Prince Qin must have known it for a long time. Please help me find out what Mao Yuanmei has, which will make scholars deeply ashamed? Also, what is his virtue and ability to make the little emperor value him so much?"

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

He pointed to the north, pointing to the prince of Yanbei.

Chen Tong smiled and shook her head, saying, "You guessed it wrong. I just felt curious. I don't know what it was. Mr. Chi seemed to be unable to say it."

Well, Xiao Ren understood. After all, Tongtong was just a teenage girl. What they were really interested in was not the turbulent storm in the court, but these extremely boring gossips.

Xiao Ren called Xiaolizi and whispered to him. Xiaolizi turned around and ran away.

When the group had just left the city, there was a shout from behind. Xiao Ren turned around and it turned out that Xiao Lizi was chasing him on a horse.

"I found out so soon?" Xiao Ren asked.

Xiaolizi smiled and said, "Before the little one arrived at the palace, halfway through the way, he saw Mr. Li Sinan and Mr. Li's sedan chair, so he asked him. When Mr. Li saw that it was a little one, he knew that it was a seventh young master and he would not hide it. He told the little one all. Moreover, this is not a secret, it is just a rumor in the capital. Mr. Li said, please let the seventh young master listen to it as a story, and there is no need to take it seriously."

After Xiao Ren secretly told Chen Tong about the "story" he heard from Xiao Lizi, Chen Tong's mouth was so wide that it could stuff an egg into it.

Mao Yuanmei has a problem and likes a beautiful boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.

Throughout the dynasties, from kings to literati and scholars, there are many people who like men, and some are also passed down as beautiful stories and have been passed down through the ages.

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

He never goes to places like men's style halls or waiters, and he likes to meet them on the streets most.

Every day after going to the yamen, Mao Yuanmei would linger on the streets, staring at the people passing by without blinking. Sometimes he would go to restaurants and tea shops, sitting for two or three hours, and also examine everyone who came in.

Of course, there are many such people in the market, but those people are looking at big girls and little wives, while those he is looking for are beautiful boys.

Whenever there is someone he likes, Mao Yuanmei will follow him all the way to a place where no one is around, and invite the boy to the inn to paint it.

Some young men were young and did not care about it. Seeing that he was old enough to be an elder and a scholar, he did not doubt that he was there and followed him to the inn. At first, he was really painting. As he was painting, Mao Yuanmei would trick the young men into undressing and untiing their belts, and then do things in vain.

After he finished, he would really give the young man a picture with a seal, and then write a poem and an inscription for him.

Mao Yuanmei has real talent and knowledge. His paintings are good paintings, poetry is good poetry, and characters are good characters.

In addition, this kind of thing is ashamed to speak of. Some young men are already naive and weak, and can only cover their faces with his coaxing and scaring. They are also stupid and naive. They thought they met noble people from now on. Not only did they not hate him, but they also became "poetry friends" and "painting friends" with him for a long time. They were dating Mao Yuanmei until they got older and were disliked by Mao Yuanmei.

Of course, he has also encountered tough guys.

If you can't hook up, you will be beaten up on the street. Some people are beaten by a boy when they are acting in the inn.

On several occasions, Mao Yuanmei was not only beaten, but also alarmed the government. When the government came, he saw that it was a member of the Mao family, so he asked him to pay the money.

Even those young men who left with calligraphy and paintings and suffered losses in silence, some of them regretted afterwards and found the Mao family to ask for money.

Although the Mao family repeatedly concealed it, Mao Yuanmei's scandals were still circulating in the capital.

The Censor has been involved several times, but it is left unresolved. There is no way. Although Mao Yuanjiu ignored this cousin, if you really stepped on Mao Yuanmei, it would have offended the Mao family and the Yang family.

Therefore, although everyone in the Hanlin Academy looked down on Mao Yuanmei, he was still able to stay calm in the Hanlin Academy for more than ten years, showing off his talent as a Hanlin Bachelor in front of the beautiful boy he liked every now and then.

As for why the little emperor looked at Mao Yuanmei with admiration, Li Sinan did not say it, but according to Xiaolizi's observation of his words and expressions, when Li Sinan talked about this matter again, his words flashed and his eyes were extremely obscene and trivial.

Xiao Ren is a military general and is young, so he is not as hard to speak of as Mr. Chi.

Since Shen Tong wanted to know and he found out again, let's tell her.

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

"Either I was stupid in studying, or I had a low background and had no knowledge. When I met a Hanlin bachelor, I thought I had finally climbed the ladder into that circle, but I didn't know that there was no shortcut in this world." Xiao Ren said disdainfully.

Shen Tong sighed. She felt that she had studied too little and still could not understand the matter between men.

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

In short, Shen Tong has always been self-aware. If she doesn't understand or understand, she will blame herself for studying too little. Afterwards, she will find books to read. She believes that although she has no talent in studying, she will continue to read, which is much better than not reading.

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

Neither Shen Tong nor Xiao Ren came to report the news in advance, so Princess Yining didn't know that they would come today.

When they arrived, Princess Yining was watching the children weaving mats.

There is an old lady who helps the house in Ci'an Village who makes a living by weaving mats. It just so happens that the children's house will be replaced with new mats, so Princess Yining asked the woman to teach the children to weaving mats.

Five or six 14 or 15-year-old children sat around the shade of the tree, talking and laughing, and memorizing the lessons taught by Mr.

Princess Yining gently waved the fan and also talked and laughed with them.

When Shen Tong came over, the maid saw her and was about to speak, but Shen Tong made a move to silence them.

The maids knew that Shen Tong and Princess Yining had a handkerchief, so they pursed their lips and laughed secretly, and stopped talking.

Shen Tong tiptoed behind Princess Yining and blindfolded her eyes.

Princess Yining was startled, but she quickly calmed down, her mind turned around, and said with a smile: "Tongtong, are you back?"
