my wife is queen

Chapter 19 Prostitution
In Yuan Gong's eyes, Li Mian, the newly promoted son-in-law, was also very strange. It was customary for officials and gentlemen in the capital to have sex with prostitutes, and there were many people who raised prostitutes.

Born in Li Mian's poor family, if he wanted to integrate into the family of officials and gentry as soon as possible, he would go in and out of the Wuxie Singing Building, picking rice, owl sounds, strange stones, solving Chinese characters, playing cards, raising cats, etc.

I have never seen Li Mian serve any of them, and wandered around the streets and alleys with a little maid all day long.

He is not keen on power, nor does he make friends with officials and gentry in the capital through his status as a son-in-law, but he is quite like the two old men of them, sneaking away from their busy schedule and living a leisurely life.

It's just that the two of them are over sixty years old, and Li Mian is no more than a weak crown.

He doesn't have the vigor that a young man should have. Compared with the two old men, he seems to be spending his life after resigning from office.

Yuan Gong beckoned, and a person behind him with a bean green glaze teapot placed a bean green glaze tureen on the short square table in front of Li Mian, and poured a cup of tea.

Li Mian took it and took a sip of the tea, the fragrance remained in his mouth, and he praised without hesitation: "Good tea, comparable to gardenia tangerine peel tea."

The tea brewed in the bean-green glazed bowl is Songluo tea from Huangshan Mountain, which stands out among many teas and becomes a tribute tea.

Pay attention to the soil and climate, but if the climate is slightly worse, the tea will be inferior and cannot be sent to the palace as a tribute.

Natural tribute tea is of course better than hand-scented tea.

Sun Gong laughed and scolded: "This is the pineapple tea that is honored to be a tribute tea. Of course it is a good tea. You kid actually compared it with the tea leaves scented by hand. You should be the gardenia tangerine peel scented by the female number one scholar Chen Yuanyuan." Tea."

This champion is not that champion.

Every time after the end of the Spring Festival, the Shili Fireworks Resort by the Jinshui River usually holds a grand event. The famous scholar Cao Dazhang listed four things in "Yandu Prostitutes Preface": "character, rhyme, talent, and color". The four aspects of talent and appearance are used to judge Qing people and actors.

In turn, the prostitutes such as champion, second place, Tanhua, Chuanlu and so on are set.

When Chen Yuanyuan was nine years old, she made her debut in Liyuan by the Jinshui River, and she was shocked as a goddess. She became the No. [-] female scholar in "The Preface to Prostitutes in Yandu" for three consecutive subjects, and attracted the amazement of many officials and dignitaries.

Li Mian had read "The Preface to Prostitutes in Yandu" in Dongshaojian's study room, and knew what Sun Gong meant when he said that she was the number one scholar, so he said in a bad mood: "It may not be a blessing."

If anyone would dare to spoil the scenery, Grandpa Sun would have already reached out his palm and knocked that person on the head.

Sun Gong sighed today: "It's really not necessarily a blessing."

In order to pay tribute to songluo tea every year in Huizhou government, the local officials are already exhausting the people and money, and they also have to deal with the eunuchs who come from the palace.

In addition to the tribute tea, an additional batch of Songluo tea was purchased and presented to Liu Jin who came from the palace.

Thinking of this, Gong Sun and Yuan Gong looked at Li Mian a few more times, feeling that the lazy boy Pi Lai Bei in front of them was far from the concubine Li Mian in their impression.

After the court discussion at the Three Gates, Princess Changping didn't know whether it was to pave the way for Li Mian to make friends with officials or gentry, or to make him famous, a news spread from the mansion.

The entrainment of the water transport eunuch was embellished by Li Mian, the son-in-law, who saw through the disadvantages.

Li Mian, who has always been unknown, has a vague impression among the officials and gentry, and his conduct is quite good.

As for Li Mian seeing through the entrainment of the eunuchs, most of the officials and gentry didn't believe it. This kind of unique and vicious vision of the political situation is not something that a poor family can have.

Without the support of the elders of Gongbao for generations, the knowledge and vision could not reach the level of seeing through the water transport eunuchs.

Sun Gong and Yuan Gong had contact with him, and they also made thought-provoking remarks about abolishing the Cao Cao and reforming the sea. They had a lot of thoughts in their hearts, and what Princess Changping said was probably true.

Yuan Gong's point is beyond the nodding acquaintance: "The court is Tianshelang and the evening is in the Tianzitang. Once a person reads the book and opens his mind, he will always have something to ask for. Most of the people who have learned literary and martial arts are sold to the emperor's family. What scholars want, those who are more virtuous will also devote themselves to doing some practical things for the country, no matter how indifferent they are, they always have the idea of ​​writing a book, but the little friend is already in Vanity Fair, but he has nothing else to ask, even the old man can't read it. wearing you."

Li Mian smiled, and didn't take this sentence seriously, how could these two be unable to see through his thoughts with their sophistication.

It's just that he cherishes his talents and wants him to do some practical things and contribute to the court.

The cold wind blows melodious tunes by the Jinshui River. Grandpa Sun holds a bean-green glazed tureen and sips tea patiently. His eyes do not fall on the pleasant spring snow on the Jinshui River, and his attention is always on Li Mian.

Are there really people in the world who are indifferent to fame and fortune?

If he is an official and gentry son, it's okay to say that he has eaten and seen him, and enjoyed all kinds of fame and fortune.

Li Mian was born from a poor family, and he was most particular about getting ahead. In his dreams, he was eager to return to his hometown.

Li Mian said frankly: "As a son-in-law, my wife is still Princess Changping, who has changed from the eldest princess to the eldest princess. If I say something that looks down on fame and fortune, it is estimated that no official or gentry will believe it. Most of them will take my behavior seriously. Think of it as keeping a low profile. In fact, life is quite comfortable now, riding horses, going shopping, teasing pheasant slaves, why bother to cause a whole body of troubles, life is too tiring."

The pheasant slave secretly stuffed the candied fruit, and when he heard a word to tease the pheasant slave, his face instantly turned red.

I still said it in front of many people, my face turned red and hot, and I was so ashamed.

These words are full of calmness, as if I have been tired all my life, my body is exhausted, my heart is tired, and I don't want to continue to live a hard life.

But Li Mian is only at the age of a weak crown, where does the sense of vicissitudes of a lifetime of hard work come from.

Sun Gong is a casual person, seeing that he really doesn't want to worry about the copy, so he stopped persuading him.

The world is impermanent, and most people in the world can't help themselves, not to mention that the princess Li Mian married was Princess Changping.

Who is to say what will happen next.

Yuan Gong resigned from office, and still worried about the country all day long, and couldn't bear the presence of talented people: "It's good not for the court, but for Princess Changping. If Princess Changping, Liu Jin and other eight tigers don't deal with it, don't do something. If you work hard, sooner or later you will be expelled from the capital, driven to Jinling, and far away from the center of the imperial court.”

Heading to Jinling?

Li Mian was happy: "There are such good things. I have heard that the prosperity of the Qinhuai River is second only to the Jinshui River. I just want to see it. It seems that I need to talk as little as possible in the future."

"you boy"

Sun Gong was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help but cursed with a smile: "When you see this old man and Yuan Gong, the officials and gentry in the capital can't wait to confide all the bold words in their chests in one go, trying to gain a little favor. You are lucky, you don't want to confide. It's just a matter of heart, and thinking of the law has caused the dissatisfaction of the old man and Yuan Gong, which is really weird."
