Chapter 34

Li Mian was wearing a soft scarf and a Ning silk round-neck gown. Standing in front of the red rosewood bookcase, he took out a rare copy of "Ming Zhe Bao Zi Lun" and read it carefully.

He opened the classics of the Taizhou school of mind, not to ponder the mind, but to extract some vulgar characters from it, and compare them with the fonts in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't want to buy the books and extract the simplified vulgar characters, it's just that there are three or five more vulgar characters in each book, and only one or two are missing.

If Li Mianzhen finished writing the thousand-character prose in vulgar style in his hand, he would buy enough books to pile up a small mountain, and the study room four rooms wide in the east tip would not fit it.

In order not to be kicked out, when I came here today, I wore a soft scarf to show that I have fame and fame, and I am not an ordinary white-bodied scholar.

Li Mian also placed a red silk inkstone on the half-moon table at hand, which is a rare red silk stone parrot inkstone.

The red silk inkstone is different from the general black inkstone. The appearance color is mainly red and yellow, and the difference can be seen at a glance.

The red silk inkstone is originally a famous product in the inkstone. A scholar who owns a red silk inkstone is either rich or expensive, and has a certain power in the capital.

What's more, it is the famous red silk stone parrot inkstone in the red silk inkstone, its status is even more unusual, and it is not something that the shopkeeper of the study can drive away at will.

After the shopkeeper of the study saw the red silk inkstone today, his dark face immediately turned into a smile, and he hurriedly arranged for the servant to make a pot of good tea for Li Mian.

Li Mian wrote a few more lines on the thousand-character text in vulgar style, glanced at the sun outside the window lattice, and saw that the time was almost up, so he walked out of the study with the pheasant slave, and went to the Lengtao list at Yinding Bridge to eat Lengtao.

I haven't been there for a few days, and I still miss the fresh and delicious Lengtao.

"Master?!"

Li Mian had just stepped out of the threshold of the study when he heard a pleasantly surprised shout from behind him. Normally, it would be difficult to tell who it was just by the sound, but this voice was so soft that he immediately thought of someone.

Li Mian turned around, and sure enough, he saw Chen Yuanyuan, leading the little donkey, walking towards the study.

Chen Yuanyuan wiped the sweat from her forehead with a fragrant handkerchief, and wanted to speed up her pace, but the little donkey beside her was walking slowly and refused to go any faster.

With a helpless expression on her face, she could only walk slowly along with the little donkey, but it took a lot of time to walk abruptly for a distance of more than ten steps.

Chen Yuanyuan made a wish with a little apology, then reached into the wooden box hanging on the back of the little donkey, and took out a bunch of copper coins: "This is the money I have earned from selling tofu for a while, and the market is not bad. That’s right, there shouldn’t be any problem in making a living. The idea of ​​white tofu given by the young master, the slave family decided without authorization, half of the money earned will be distributed to the young master, and please accept it.”

Li Mian nodded, and signaled to the pheasant slave beside him to borrow money and put it in Suxiu's purse.

Copper coins are not silver, and they can't be put down after only a small half.

The pheasant slave had no choice but to hold the hemp rope strung on the copper coin in his hand.

There was no man in front of the beauty, for the sake of face, he didn't take away the money that should belong to him, he pretended to be generous, and said that he didn't need it.

Chen Yuanyuan originally thought that he would refuse to accept the money, but unexpectedly he was acting uncharacteristically as usual, "Pu Chi" laughed out loud, feeling that Li Mian is quite an interesting person.

With her beautiful appearance and her status as a legendary pity, it is rare for a man to have no intention of her, and get along with her very relaxedly.

Li Mian took the money, turned around and left without any pause.

At this time, a demure woman who followed behind put down the Suhang Qingru skirt she was carrying with both hands, and her eyes widened involuntarily.

Shen Yixiu shook his bun, surprised at the same time, but also had a bad impression of Li Mian: "It seems that not all the scholars in the capital are as gentle and gentle as Mr. Li Mian, just take this person in front of him as an example. , I don't understand the style, and I don't have any wit. Sister Yuanyuan has already taken the initiative to talk, and this person took the money and left without any polite intentions. He is really a philistine, far worse than Mr. Li Mian .”

After Shen Yixiu finished speaking, he turned his face to look at Chen Yuanyuan, and asked expectantly: "Sister Yuanyuan said a few days ago that she would introduce Mr. Li Mian to the slave family. I don't know when she will fulfill her promise."

Li Mian didn't want to pay attention to a female voice that appeared behind him, but when he opened his mouth to say Li Mian and closed his mouth to a young man, he couldn't help but froze.

It was helpless and funny, and I didn't know what to say.

Chen Yuanyuan glanced at Li Mian who had stopped suddenly, and then at Shen Yixiu who was full of anticipation, covered her vermilion lips and laughed until the flowers trembled.

I don't know how Li Mian felt in his heart, but he should be very happy. The person who praised him was Shen Yixiu, a talented woman from Jiangnan.

Li Mian turned around, stretched out his hand to cover Pheasant's mouth, and signaled her not to reveal her identity.

He took a few glances at the woman who was speaking, wearing a Suhang Qingru skirt, exuding the demure aura of a scholarly woman.

Being able to become close friends with Chen Yuanyuan, needless to say in terms of appearance, is also a beautiful woman with a beautiful face.

Li Mian wanted to tease the woman, and retorted: "After the Lantai Poetry Conference that night, many people in the capital said that the Mulan Flower Order was not written by Li Mian, but a poem he bought with money. .After all, Li Mian ranked last in the provincial examination of Jinke, and he almost failed to pass the exam. He didn't have enough ink in his stomach, and he didn't have enough talent to make the Magnolia Order."

After the Lantai Poetry Fair, many scholars took out Li Mian's examination papers for the provincial examination, and compared the literary talents on the examination papers.

Without exception, they all shook their heads, thinking that "Mulan Flower Order" should be a poem bought by Li Mian with only one purpose, not wanting to lose face in front of Princess Changping.

On the night Li Mian and Princess Changping got married, they only paid homage to a hen and did not meet the real person.

This incident has long been spread throughout the capital, and it has become a joke, which made most of the applicants in the Jinke Township Examination feel better.

I comforted myself, even marrying Princess Changping might not be a good thing.

Scholars in the capital can already imagine Li Mian's life, living aggrieved in the son-in-law's mansion, causing Princess Changping's slightest dissatisfaction, and will be beaten and scolded.

Even the maids and servants in the mansion treated him coldly, looking down on Li Mian all day long, living a miserable life in the mansion.

In order to flatter Princess Changping, Li Mian must have spent a lot of money to buy "Mulan Flower Order" in order to become a blockbuster in the Lantai Poetry Festival.

"Magnolia Order" really made Li Mian a blockbuster, but the public opinion turned sharply, thinking that it was a poem he bought.

It's an insult to gentleness, it's like a gentle scum in the capital.
