Chapter 116 She just wants to stay in Yi County and enjoy life
Su Yueyao spent more than two hours painting before she finished the painting. Lu Wenxin smiled and said with satisfaction: "Thank you so much, Yueyao. I like this painting very much. I will frame it in my study when I get back."
"Wenxin, as long as you like it."
As they were painting, the two of them had already become friends, and they even addressed each other as "Lady Lady" no longer.
"The Yueyao Yang family won't give up so easily. In fact, Wenrui and I were able to come here because your reputation as a painter has been spread among the Fengdu literati circle. I heard from my father that His Majesty seems to know you."
"Next month is the annual time when the Academy of Literati will recruit students. There will be a big competition. Almost all the famous painters and writers of this dynasty will go."
"Your Majesty knows me?" Su Yueyao asked softly.
"Well, my father is the head of the Imperial Hospital. He went to check the pulse of a noble in the palace and overheard it. At that time, the legitimate son of the Lu family in Yi County wanted to marry you, so my father and mother sent Wenrui and me here."
"Yueyeao, please don't be angry with me. My father also wants me to get to know you and see if you are really talented. I didn't mean to get close to you. I really like your paintings and want to make friends with you." Lu Wenxin was afraid that Su Yueyao would misunderstand, so she said a little panicked.
"Puchi...haha..." Su Yueyao laughed at the somewhat panicked Lu Wenxin.
"I should thank Wenxin for telling me such a big secret! How could I misunderstand you." Su Yueyao pinched her face after she said this.
"Yueyeao, aren't you surprised that His Majesty knows you?" Lu Wenxin asked puzzledly as she looked at Su Yueyao who was not angry.
"Someone came to ask for a painting before, saying that it might be seen by His Majesty." Su Yueyao said simply.
"So that's how it is. Yueyao, if you are appreciated by His Majesty, you will have to go to Fengdu. At that time, you will have to visit the Yang family." Lu Wenxin said without asking any further questions.
"Let's talk about it then! I don't plan on entering the court in the future. I don't even want to enter the Academy of Literature. I just want to live a quiet life in Yi County in the future." Su Yueyao said casually.
"Yueyao has a good idea, but the current situation in the court has always been controlled by the aristocratic families. Your Majesty's wishes to nominate people have been obstructed. The Academy of Literature wants to support the children of common people." Lu Wenxin said with some concern.
"Since ancient times, the concentration of imperial power has always been what those in power want. The aristocratic families in Fengdu have been entrenched for hundreds of years, and some have a foundation of thousands of years. It is not so easy to move the whole body with a single move. Whether I am there or not, it will not affect anything. It would be best if I can stay away from these disputes." Su Yueyao said casually.
"I didn't expect Yueyao to have such a deep understanding of political affairs. It's a pity that you are not from a noble family, otherwise you would have already entered the court!" Lu Wenxin said with a smile.
"I don't want to marry into a wealthy family like yours! Although women can receive many preferential treatments, they have no control over many things. I just like to be free, and I'm afraid I can't stand your rules." Su Yueyao said with a smile, stood up, stretched, and said.
"I really like Yueyao's free and easy personality. What you said is right. Nowadays, the political power is increasingly relying on women, but most women like to enjoy themselves and don't want to take charge of things. The wealthy families have tried every possible means!" Lu Wenxin said with a sigh.
"So I'd better stay in Yi County and enjoy life! As for this country, I'd better leave it to you kids from noble families!" Su Yueyao said with a happy smile.
"Yueyeao, you are laughing like that. Why do I feel like you are laughing at me? I was thinking of taking the painting and going back to Fengdu, but seeing that Yueeyeao and I were having such a good chat, I decided to stay for two more days. Please treat me well." Lu Wenxin said as he decided to stay in Yixian and relax for two days.
When she thought about how she would have to read and study so many policy papers when she got home, and how she would be forced to go into her master's room to give birth at night, and drink some tonic medicine during the day, compared with Su Yueyao, she felt that her life was indeed difficult, so she should just enjoy it for two more days!
Su Yueyao was stunned for a moment when she heard Lu Wenxin's words. She didn't want to entertain, she just wanted to lie down. She had intended to lie down at home for two days after sending Lu Wenxin and the others away. She just knew that there was a peach forest in the yard, and there were some late peach blossoms blooming, and it was next to a stream. She had even planned to ask Chunri and the others to move the soft couch over there. She would eat snacks and fruits, feel the breeze, look at the scenery, and enjoy life.
"..."
Lu Wenxin saw Su Yueyao was stunned when she heard her words. She was very happy because she finally saw Yueyao's deflated expression.
"Wenxin, I'm not familiar with Yi County. I seldom go out, and mostly I bring my family with me. I just moved into this house." Su Yueyao said evasively.
"Wasn't Yueyao a gangster in Yi County before? How could he not be familiar with her? This excuse is too perfunctory." Lu Wenxin said dissatisfiedly.
"..."
She accidentally let it slip that she was indeed not familiar with the place, but the original owner was familiar with it...those were places that were not visited by decent people, and the original owner was extremely familiar with them.
"Yueyao, I'm in Fengdu. My mother is strict, and I have never been to those places of brothels. Can you take me there to have a look?" Lu Wenxin said excitedly.
"..."
She had never been there either, and only a trace of impression remained in her mind...
"There are also gambling houses. I heard that they have many tricks. Let's go and have a look... There are also teahouses. I heard that there is a teahouse in Yi County that tells stories very well and has special servants to serve them! Yueyao, you must have been there. Take me to have a look..." Lu Wenxin said excitedly.
