Thousands of miles are not as good as you

In the spring of the sixth year of Yongning, Yangzhou Prefecture, Pingling County.

Yin Sheng strolled along the street, waved a paper fan, and strolled in the courtyard.Wearing a jade crown and brocade clothes like the children of ordinary rich and noble families, but the demeanor of the whole body is not comparable to that of ordinary people. When he first appeared, there was a commotion around him.

Yin Sheng took a rough look around, and waved behind him. Cui Bai quickly took two steps and followed Yin Sheng to the wrong position: "Master."

Yin Sheng said in a low voice: "It is said that there are beauties in Yangzhou, but when I look around, the one with the best color is much inferior to the one with the worst color in the picture of beauties in my father's picture."

Cui Bai just took a look around, and it was true, but it was not easy to hit Yin Sheng, so he said: "Yangzhou is so big, today is just a glimpse, master, don't worry, the beauty you want will definitely be found. "

Even though he said so, Cui Bai actually had no idea. After all, the time agreed between Yin Sheng and the Queen Mother was only three months, let alone find someone who is three points more beautiful than Su Qingqing in three months. Son, I don't even know if I can travel every inch of Yangzhou.

The Prime Minister Su Qi is the elder brother of the Empress Dowager Su Ying. Su Qi has been competitive since he was a child, obsessed with fame and fortune.Back then, in the scientific examination, in order to get the first place, with the help of Su Ying, the few students who stood in the way were ruined, and they could no longer pursue official careers, and now they are standing at the pinnacle of power.

Yin Sheng was supposed to be in charge at the time, but Su Qi insisted on controlling the government until Yin Sheng became the crown. Finally, under the pressure of the officials, he handed over the power as Su Qingqing's empress, but how could Su Qi be willing?

Yin Sheng knew very well that Su Qi was a human being, and he was afraid that if Su Qingqing sat on the queen's position and gave birth to a son-in-law, his own death would not be far away. After all, an ignorant child is much easier to control than him.

Yin Sheng tested Su Ying several times for this matter, and found that Su Ying was devoted to her natal family, but she didn't think about him or the country at all. Britain.

You know, this Su Qingqing is known as the number one beauty in the capital. In terms of talent, she may not be as good as Cen Shuyin, the only daughter of Zhongshuling Cen Zeling, but her appearance is first-class. Even Emperor Cheng, who has read countless beauties, praised Su Qingqing: Wu She Lingbo's muscles are like snow, and a generation of Qingcheng is better than Chunhua.

Now that Yin Sheng is talking about his appearance, Su Ying knows it's prevarication, how can he not be angry?How could she, the daughter of the Su family, allow others to dislike her so much?So they set a three-month period with Yin Sheng. If Yin Sheng can find someone who is three points more attractive than Su Qingqing within these three months, then this marriage will be abandoned. Otherwise, after three months, it will be him and Su Qingqing. at the time of marriage.

It has been nearly a month since Yin Sheng set off from the capital, but he has found nothing. During Emperor Cheng's reign, he traveled to Yangzhou more than once. Many of the women in the picture of beauties are from Yangzhou.

Thinking of this, Yin Sheng couldn't help lamenting, since they were all in the boundary of Yangzhou, why did Emperor Cheng travel twice? Excluding the time spent on the road, the time spent in Yangzhou was no more than ten days. In such a short ten days, Emperor Cheng Four or five beauties can be added to my beauties picture, but now it's been more than half a month, but I haven't seen any beauties!

Yin Sheng looked up at the sky, sighed, and continued to search along the street.

At noon, Yin Sheng and Cui Bai went back to the restaurant to have something to eat, and then took a nap, and then went out to look for people in the afternoon.

It was already late spring at this time, Yangzhou already had the shadow of summer, Yin Sheng walked along the street for more than half an hour and couldn't bear the heat, it happened that there was a teahouse not far away, so he simply took Cui Bai to escape to cool off .

I thought I was hiding at home to cool off at this time, but unexpectedly the first floor of this teahouse was full of seats, Cui Bai searched for a long time before finding an empty seat in the corner.

Yin Sheng sat down, and first gulped down two cups of herbal tea before feeling a little better.He looked around, saw everyone discussing with each other, glanced at the stage from time to time, with joy in his eyes, and called Cui Bo: "Go and ask, why is the teahouse full at this time?"

Cui Bo agreed, went to inquire around, and immediately came back to report.

It turns out that there is a storyteller surnamed Gu in this teahouse. Mr. Gu is well-read and knowledgeable, and he always talks about novel things. Sometimes he tells interesting stories in the mountains, sometimes he tells wild history of the past dynasties, and sometimes he talks about things that are not human. But no matter what it is, if it comes out of his mouth, it will be indescribably fascinating.

Hearing what Cui Bai said, Yin Sheng also became interested, and couldn't help but want to hear if Mr. Gu was really eloquent.

Mr. Gu has a mediocre appearance, but he is full of energy. He is not only a storyteller in this teahouse, but also a teacher in the academy. The books he tells are loved by everyone, and the lectures he teaches are also loved by students.It is said that this Mr. Gu was one step away from the palace examination, but just the day before the examination, he fell ill suddenly and abruptly missed it.As everyone knows, Mr. Gu and Su Qi are candidates in the same class. If he didn't suffer from that "sudden illness", he might end up ruined. How can he be as happy as he is now?

Yin Sheng couldn't sit still for a cup of tea, so Mr. Gu stepped onto the stage.

There was a tea table in the center of the stage with a pot of tea on it, but there were no seats.Mr. Gu stepped onto the stage, bowed his body slightly, beat the folding fan, and the audience fell silent immediately.

Yin Sheng watched Mr. Gu walk slowly to the tea table, first poured himself a cup of tea, and only opened his mouth after the cup of tea was drunk.

"The story I'm going to tell you today happened a hundred years ago in a place called Douyang County. I don't know if this place can be tested. I just heard the story by accident. I don't want to argue whether it's true or not. I hope you don't pay attention." With a smile on his face, Mr. Gu slowly raised his head and started talking about this story.

Yin Sheng had never heard of Douyang, but it was just a story and he didn't go into it. He just picked up a bean and threw it into his mouth, listening with his head up.

It is said that the richest man in Douyang County is named Mo Cheng. Mo Cheng was poor when he was young. Within two years after he got married, his wife Deng couldn't stand such a poor life, and finally ran away with the only copper coin left in the family.

Mo Cheng was deeply hit by this, and he worked hard to become stronger from then on, and finally established a foothold in Douyang County, and married Li Shi, a beautiful woman with a house, but it didn't take long for Deng Shi to come back after hearing that Mo Cheng had made a fortune. up.

For such a woman, Mo Chengzi couldn't look down on her, and with his newly married wife, he was even more serious about Deng's.

But the Deng family was not a good match for being able to do such things at the beginning, so he waited for the second day when there were many people, and after berating Mo Cheng at the door of Mo Cheng's house, he abandoned his wife and took the vixen raised outside. After taking him home, the eyes of the villagers on Mo Cheng changed all of a sudden, and the accusations made Mo Cheng have no choice but to invite Mrs. Deng back.

However, it is easy to ask God to send God away, but it is difficult to drive her out after Deng Shi has entered the door.

But Mo Cheng has been struggling for so many years, what kind of person has he never seen?How could he swallow this breath in vain?So he bought a new house and sent Li Shi away, deceiving Deng Shi that he had divorced Li Shi.

Deng Shi is just a tricky woman with a little cleverness, but she has too many detours, so she can't figure it out.So Mo Cheng was obedient to Deng's family, and transferred the money. When Deng found out, the family's wealth had been wiped out, and the creditor came to the door.

When Mrs. Deng saw it, she immediately panicked, asked Mo Cheng for a letter of divorce, and ran away. On the night Mrs. Deng left, Mo Cheng also left Douyang County to join Mrs. Li.

Later, Mrs. Li became pregnant, conceived in October, and gave birth to a son. Mo Cheng's wife and children were hot on the bed, but Mrs. Deng paid for the cause and effect bitterly.

After leaving Mo Cheng, this Deng family was penniless and had only a little beauty, so he married a gambler in a dilapidated village in Douyang County.

She became pregnant shortly after getting married, but the child's month was wrong.Knowing that it was Mo Cheng's child, Mrs. Deng secretly hated her, but she had no choice but to give birth to this child.

I just don't know if Deng's bad deeds were retribution, and he gave birth to a hermaphrodite!

The tone of Mr. Gu's speech fluctuates with the plot, which is quite fascinating. After this is finished, everyone is waiting for the next article, but Mr. Gu smiled and said: "If you know the story, please listen to the next chapter." Shi Shiran stepped off the stage.

Yin Sheng was fascinated by what he was listening to, but Mr. Gu would pick his time and scratch Yin Sheng's anxious claws.

Seeing this, Cui Bai said, "Master, why don't you invite Mr. Gu to have a talk?"

Yin Sheng was about to agree, but seeing everyone's discussions in twos and threes, his expressions were full of unfinished business, and he thought for a while and said, "Forget it, come back tomorrow!"

Cui Bai thought to himself, it's only a day's delay to go around, so he should be fine, so he didn't mention the matter of finding a beauty.Unexpectedly, Mr. Gu's story took half a month to finish. When Yin Sheng came back to his senses, he realized that the agreed date was not far away. People, can't help but be curious.

"Cui Bo, tell me, are there really intersex people in this world?"

"This... I don't know, but Mr. Gu said it was a story, so it must be a lie?" Cui Bai was a little uncertain.

Although Cui Bo didn't believe it, Yin Cheng always felt that the world is so big and full of wonders. Since Mr. Gu can tell it, there might be something there, so he said: "Then you say, if there is such a person, he is really bigger than that." Are women even softer?"

Seeing Yin Sheng's interest, Cui Bai followed Yin Sheng's thoughts and said, "It must be."

"Then he can really conceive a child?" Yin Sheng said without waiting for Cui Bai's answer, "No, I still want to ask Mr. Gu."

"Master, this...beauty has not been found yet!"

"Left and right have been delayed for so long, and it's not too late. Besides, if such a person can really be found, why worry about losing this date?" After finishing speaking, Yin Sheng asked Cui Bai to go to Wenchang Academy after inquiring.

When Yin Sheng passed by, Mr. Gu was giving a lecture.

Cui Bo wanted to ask Mr. Gu to come out, but was stopped by Yin Sheng.

Standing outside the door, listening to Mr. Gu's explanation, he didn't feel fascinated. When he came back to his senses, he realized that school had ended at some point, and only a few students were left discussing issues with Mr. Gu.

Yin Sheng waited outside the door for a while, and only entered the school after those students had left.

Mr. Gu was reading an article in his hand, when he heard the sound, he looked at Yin Sheng: "You?"

Yin Sheng arched his hands: "The student first arrived in Yangzhou, and just heard Mr.'s storytelling. He just found it fascinating and couldn't help himself. He couldn't help but want to find out, so he came to ask Mr. where he heard the story. ?”

Mr. Gu put down the article in his hand, and smiled at Yin Sheng with his beard: "When I was young, I liked to travel in mountains and rivers, and I traveled to many places. It has been dozens of years now, and I really don't remember where I heard it. The son is disappointed."

Yin Sheng made up his mind, how could it be so easy to dismiss?

"Then the yin and yang people that Mr. said, are there in the world?" Yin Sheng stared at Mr. Gu closely, for fear of missing the slightest emotion in him.

Mr. Gu smiled and shook his head: "I've never seen it before."

Yin Cheng didn't give up: "Then...if there is such a person, is such a person really more beautiful than a woman?"

Mr. Gu said: "There are tens of thousands of women in the world, each with their own beauty and ugliness. I dare not make judgments."

Yin Sheng looked at Mr. Gu's calm expression, frowned slightly, endured the uneasiness in his heart, and continued to ask: "Then...that intersex person can really give birth like a woman?"

Mr. Gu lowered his eyes slightly, and chuckled: "Everything in the world, if you believe it, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it. I'm just telling it as a story. As for what the young master thinks, it's beyond my control."

"You!" Yin Sheng was furious.

Seeing this, Cui Bai took a step forward, and scolded Mr. Gu: "Bold! You know..."

"Cui Bo!" Yin Sheng snorted, took a deep look at Mr. Gu, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a voice.

"gentlemen."

The voice was soft and soft, the short words were soft and glutinous, which made the human bones feel crisp.Yin Sheng didn't have time to turn around to look at the person, but saw that Mr. Gu's face changed slightly. Although it was fleeting, how could it escape Yin Sheng's eyes?Yin Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, curled up his mouth, and said to Cui Bo, "Cui Bo, let's go."

When going out, Yin Sheng didn't pay attention to look at the person, just glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and then left.

Seeing that Yin Sheng didn't notice the visitor, Mr. Gu breathed a sigh of relief, and waved to the visitor.

The visitor's name was Ye Tan, and he was the child of Wei Shi, Ye Yuan's concubine.

Speaking of which, Wei Shi is also pitiful.

Wei's mother died young, his father married a stepwife, and that stepwife gave birth to a son, Wei's life at home can be said to be a slave.

After finally making it through, she only hoped to marry a good family, but her father's stepmother persuaded her father to sell herself to Ye Yuanwai, who was 40 years older than her, as a concubine.

Naturally Wei refused, and failed several times to seek death, and was finally carried into Yuanwai's mansion.

Ye Yuan was lustful, seeing that Wei Shi was pretty, he really doted on Wei Shi for a period of time, during the time when Wei Shi was pregnant, he was simply a big favor.

Ye Yuanwai said that Wei's color is good, and the child he gave birth to is also of good color. After thinking for a long time, he chose the word Tan. Daughter, everything is good for use, but this expectation collapsed instantly when Ye Tan was born.

Ye Tan is different from ordinary people since he was born. He is the hermaphrodite in Mr. Gu's mouth.There are indeed intersex people in this world, but not many, coupled with the ignorance of the people, Ye Tan was treated as a monster, Ye Yuanwai almost threw him to death, it was Wei who tried his best to protect him.

Although Ye Yuanwai is not a good person, he pays great attention to his reputation.Wei Shi gave birth to a monster, and disobeyed him so much, so he built a small courtyard outside, and gave Wei Shi a lot of money, claiming that it was for Wei Shi's recuperation, but in fact, he drove Wei Shi's mother and son out of the Ye family. I'm afraid of getting bad luck.

Fast forward more than ten years, although Ye Yuanwai has passed away, but the temperament of Ye Yuanwai's eldest son is [-]% like Ye Yuanwai, and he has a great reputation, so although Ye Yuanwai has passed away, he is not short of Wei Shi Eat and drink for mother and child, but no matter how much there is, there is nothing left.

It's just pity for Wei Shi, who was kicked out of Ye's house within three days after giving birth, and had to take care of himself and the child before he was healthy. For more than ten years, he was tortured by illness almost every day. In addition, Ye Tan's body was special. Shi worries about everything, but at the age of 30, people are as old as a 60-year-old woman.

Mr. Gu knows this secret so well, but it comes from his wife, Ye Shi. The Ye family prayed for blessings, and never cared about the dust since then.

From time to time, Mrs. Ye went back to Ye's mansion to see her mother, and overheard this secret.Out of curiosity, I secretly went to meet Wei's mother and son a few times, seeing Xiaoye Tansheng's Yuxue is cute, although she is timid, she is well-behaved and sensible, and she can't help but love her.

From time to time, he always sends some money for food, but Wei is also a fierce person, and he doesn't want to receive this favor in vain, so he asks Ye Tan to help Mr. Gu to make up for it, but he doesn't want to plant willows unintentionally. Under Mr. Gu's careful cultivation, Ye Tan Tan is no longer the old Amon.
