Although Liang Shicheng was a eunuch, he had already established his residence independently. The mansion was located in the west of Yu Street, Neicheng, close to the palace. It is a mansion covering an area of ​​100 acres. The scenery in the mansion is surrounded by green water, shaded by green trees, and various exquisite pavilions and towers are dotted.

Although Liang Shicheng was a eunuch, it did not mean that he did not like women. There were hundreds of beauties living in his mansion, all wearing silk and singing softly, becoming a beautiful scenery in the mansion. Even ordinary servants wore brocade clothes and tied gold belts on their waists, making their lives extremely luxurious.

Li Yanqing came to Liang Shicheng's mansion, and eight sword-bearing servants were guarding the door. Before he could approach, someone immediately shouted: "Idle people are allowed to approach the mansion of the Grand Master here, so leave quickly."

Li Yanqing walked up and clasped his fists and said, "Please tell Tai Shi Liang, just say that Tai student Li Yanqing asked for a meeting!"

A servant looked at him arrogantly and said coldly: "First, my Grand Master has no students; Second, the Grand Master is not in the mansion now, you go!"

Li Yanqing still asked patiently: "When will the Grand Master return?"

"I don't know much about this, at least three or five days, at most ten or half a month."

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment. If Liang Shicheng wanted to let him come, he would definitely order the gatekeepers, but these gatekeepers were confused. Could it be that he was thinking too much?

At this moment, a horse-riding servant rushed over behind him and shouted, "Open the door quickly, the Grand Master is back home!"

The guard's housekeeper suddenly became busy. He moved the horse-drawn sign and opened the door. Li Yanqing also took a few steps back and stood aside and waited.

In just a moment, a gorgeous and wide carriage drove over under the escort of dozens of cavalrymen. Liang Shicheng was closing his eyes to rest, and two children knelt on the carpet and gently beat his legs for him.

At this time, the carriage slowed down and went up the steps to enter the mansion. Liang Shicheng slowly opened his eyes. He suddenly saw Li Yanqing standing in the distance. A cold smile appeared on the corner of Liang Shicheng's mouth and told the boy, "There is a tyrant student at the door. Let the butler take him to the study room to wait for me."

"Yes!" The boy agreed quietly.

The carriage entered the mansion. In just a moment, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a housekeeper ran out and asked loudly: "Is there a student outside?"

At this time, Li Yanqing was about to ask his servant to report to him again. When he heard this, he hurriedly said, "I'm here!"

"What's your last name?" the butler asked at him.

"I am in the lower school, and I sacrificed my life in the Taixue school."

The butler nodded, "Please come with me!"

Li Yanqing followed the housekeeper into the mansion. As soon as he walked past the middle gate, a young man came towards him, with a thin chin, a pale face, and a weak and weak walk. It was Liang Qing who had a conflict in the Alum Tower.

Liang Shicheng had three fake sons, and his eldest son was also a eunuch, and he would inherit his legacy in the future. His second son and third son were both orphans adopted since childhood and would pass on his family line for him.

The second son is a little better and serves as an official in Shaofu Temple, while the third son Liang Qing hangs out with a group of powerful scoundrels all day long and does nothing outside.

Liang Qing suddenly saw Li Yanqing and jumped up in anger, pointed at Li Yanqing's nose and shouted: "What are you doing in my house?"

After Liang Qing suffered a great loss at the Anchor Building, she instigated Gao Yanei to retaliate against Li Yanqing. Unexpectedly, the eight people sent by Gao Yanei were beaten up. Gao Yanei explained vaguely afterwards that Li Yanqing was a cruel person and it would be better not to provoke him.

Liang Qing is also a person who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong, so she had to hold back her breath. Unexpectedly, she saw her in her mansion today. Liang Qing remembered that she suffered a loss that day, and her anger burned again.

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "The ring Liang Yanei gave that day is good, thank you!"

"You bastard!"

Of course Liang Qing didn't dare to do it, so she turned her head and shouted at the butler: "What did he do in my mansion?"

The housekeeper bowed to him and said calmly: "Report to the third yamen, the Grand Master is going to meet this Li Shaojun in the study outside!"

The butler specially took the words "outside study room" very seriously.

"Ah!" Liang Qing was stunned for a moment. His father rarely saw guests. Even if he met guests, he was a high-ranking official like Cai Jing and Tong Guan, and he was still seeing guests in the study outside. This was not an ordinary courtesy.

Liang Qing didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. She watched the housekeeper take Li Yanqing to the outside study. He was puzzled. Why did his father treat a great student? What secret is there in Li Yanqing?

The housekeeper invited Li Yanqing into the study outside and smiled and said, "Shaojun, wait for a moment, I'll report to the master!"

Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, and the butler walked away quickly.

The so-called outer study room is actually a reception room. It is just named after the outer study room, which makes it look closer and more private. It means that only the confidant subordinates have the honor of being received here.

A maid served him tea, smiled at him, and slowly stepped back. While drinking tea, Li Yanqing looked at the study. Rather than saying the study, it was a calligraphy and painting exhibition hall, with various famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.

At this time, Li Yanqing was suddenly attracted by a piece of characters. The characters were very exquisitely pasted, one zhang long and six feet wide, with plump ink ink, and the running script was vigorous and heroic. "The river flows eastward, the waves wash away, and the eternal heroes" is Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao? Nostalgia for the Red Cliff". Li Yanqing copied Su Shi's calligraphy for many years, and he recognized it at a glance that it was actually Su Shi's original work. Li Yanqing felt his heart turbulent for a moment.

"Does Li Shaojun like this calligraphy?" A clear voice came from next to him.

When Li Yanqing turned around, he found that Liang Shicheng was standing behind him. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Students meet the Grand Master!"

Liang Shicheng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Li Shaojun seems to be very interested in the character Su?"

"Students like the poems of Mr. Dongpo the most, and also appreciate his words the most, and have copied them since childhood."

"Is that so? Then please write a piece of Li Shaojun for me to appreciate."

Li Yanqing quickly said modestly: "Students are ignorant and knowledgeable, how dare they show off in front of the Grand Tutor?"

"It's okay! It's okay! The guests who enter my study outside will write a few words as a souvenir. This is a convention. Besides, Li Shaojun is a Jieyuan in Xiangzhou, so I believe his words will not be too bad."

Li Yanqing couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "The Grand Tutor's kindness is hard to refuse, so the students will be ugly."

He walked to the table and spread a piece of rice paper. He focused his mind for a moment, and then picked up his pen to write another poem by Su Shi: "Xijiang Yue"

Things in the world are a big dream, and life is cooler. When the night comes, the leaves are already roaring. Look at the eyebrows and temples.

When the wine is low, there are often sorrows in the few guests, and the moon is bright and the clouds are hindered. Who can share the lonely light with you in the Mid-Autumn Festival? Look north with your cup sadly.

Liang Shicheng claimed to be Su Dongpo's posthumous son. He liked to talk about Su Shi in front of others. His greatest contribution was to preserve most of Su Dongpo's poems, which prevented them from being burned to death in the Yuanyou Party case, and also allowed future generations to read such famous works as "The Great River Goes East, When will the bright moon come to?"

Liang Shicheng saw Li Yanqing's handwriting was extremely elegant and ink-like, and deeply imitated, and deeply understood the essence of the character Su. It can be seen that he had worked hard. Moreover, the poem "Xijiangyue" was written in the third year of Yuanfeng, and few people know it.

Especially after the Yuanyou Party case, Su Ci was basically extinct in the school, and students like Li Yanqing could not learn it at all. If they were not really fond of it and secretly hid it in private, it would be impossible to write this poem.

Liang Shicheng nodded secretly, and was quite appreciative in his heart. Li Yanqing's first hurdle had passed.

"This is a good handwriting, I will collect it. Please sit down at Li Shaojun!"

Liang Shicheng smiled and asked Li Yanqing to sit down, and then ordered the maid to serve tea again.

Liang Shicheng took a sip of tea and asked lightly: "I wonder what happened to Li Shaojun coming to me today?"

Of course, Li Yanqing could not say that he was here to ask for money. Such words would collapse. He had to use implicit words, both parties knew it well and did not lose their etiquette to imply Liang Shicheng. This is called talking about mountains without seeing mountains and water without seeing water.

"The night banquet in the Alum Tower, the Grand Master looked at the students differently, and the students were very grateful. I would like to thank you!"

Liang Shicheng smiled, "This is a small matter. Shaojun showed both wisdom and courage during his trip to Jiangnan, and was extremely courageous. He assisted King Jia to successfully complete the tasks assigned by the emperor, which is of course worthy of commendation."

After pausing, Liang Shicheng asked again with a smile: "I wonder how long has Shaojun known His Highness Jia?"

"The student only entered Beijing in February this year. He had never been to Bianjing before. However, King Jia read my explanation and was a little interested, so he got to know him."

"Oh! It turns out that Shaojun has just met His Highness Jia, but His Highness Jia values ​​Shaojun very much and found me yesterday."

At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly realized that he had made a mistake in asking King Jia for help. Not only did he have no effect, but he was counterproductive and even offended Liang Shicheng.
