MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 10

  Chapter 10

  Wen Mansion is not big.

  Just as Mr. Liang disliked, although Wen Tingchun's current official position allows him to live in a three-entry house, he has always been reluctant to abandon the old house, and only repaired and improved it on the original basis. After all, it is not as spacious as other people's yards.

  Wen Ning went from the West Wing to the East Wing in just one stick of incense.

  Wen Jiahe's family has a master, two young masters and a girl, both of whom are unmarried, so it is reasonable to have dinner in one place.

  But every time Wen Tingchun sees the two sons, he gets angry.

  Wen Ning just met Ji, what about the two of them? One was twenty-one, and the other was nineteen, yet both of them neither started a career nor married, and even said some outrageous things at the dinner table to irritate him.

   After a few times, Wen Tingchun asked each of them to eat in their own yard, and they would only eat at the same table every month when they were resting.

   Therefore, when Wen Ning passed by, Wen Lan was full of wine and food, and was reading a medical book.

   When leaving Xiangti Garden, although Wen Lan felt bad, she didn't take it to heart.

  What can Wen Ning really do if he takes a fancy to Wang You? It is true that he also thinks that Wang You is a good choice for his sister-in-law, but he already has a marriage contract, so they can still go to **** the marriage?

  Wen Ning has always been reserved and gentle, and also pays attention to everyone's ladylike demeanor, so a few days passed by herself sadly.

  So when I saw Wen Ning coming over, I didn't connect the two things together, I just raised my head and teased: "Oh, rare guest, why did my sister think of my brother today?"

  Wen Ning gave Linglan a look, Linglan immediately helped her move a chair, and she sat down at Wen Lan's desk.

  Seeing that she looked like she had something important to discuss, Wen Lan put down the medical book, leaned on the chair and looked at her leisurely.

   "Big Brother, Ah Ning came here because I wanted to ask Big Brother for help." Wen Ning whispered softly by the candlelight.

  Wen Lan immediately replied righteously: "Ah Ning, you are too out of touch. Who am I to you? You can speak up if you have anything to do, and there is no way you can help or not."

"Brother..." Wen Ning glanced at him gratefully, lowered her willow eyebrows, lowered her eyes, her face was a little red, "A Ning thought... After seeing the prince last time, A Ning... thought like crazy, A Ning I wonder... can my eldest brother introduce him for me, so that I can meet him again?"

   After saying these words, not only Wen Lan, but also Linglan beside him widened their eyes, staring at Wen Ning in disbelief.

  Thinking like mad...

  What kind of Meng Lang's words came from Wen Ning, who had always been arrogant and reserved?

   Isn't she sad for Shen Jin these days?

  Wen Lan was choked for a long time before she found her voice: "Ah... Ah Ning... last... Didn't we hear someone say it last time? He...he has a marriage contract..."

   "That's because the eldest brother said that someone was listed to catch a son-in-law." Wen Ning bit her red lips and said, "Presumably he also has this concern, and deliberately fabricated a marriage contract just in case."

   "Marriage is a trifling matter? I don't think it's a foolish person to forgive..."

   "But if he really has a fiancée, how could he only know her baby name?" Wen Ning said, "And if he wanted to look for it, he would have reported it to Jingzhao Mansion. Did he look for you these two days?"

   "This..." Wen Lan hesitated, Wang You had indeed never been to Jingzhao Mansion, but...

   "This...every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, maybe he has some difficulties..."

   "What's wrong with him, how do you know if you don't ask?" Wen Ning took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Ah Ning knows, but my brother just doesn't want to help me."

"I...I didn't!" Wen Lan was usually out of tune. She loved her sister sincerely. When she saw that she was about to cry, she panicked. , why bother hitting the south wall?"

"How do you know if you haven't made an appointment?" Wen Ning wiped her handkerchief, she really shed two tears, "Besides, didn't elder brother deliberately let me see each other that day? Ah Ning fell in love with each other that day , but you obstructed in every possible way, telling Ah Ning what to think..."

   "This..." Wen Lan had nothing to say, patted his forehead and said, "My good sister, can you stop crying first?"

   Crying made him flustered.

  Wen Ning really stopped her tears and looked at her with teary eyes.

  Wen Lan breathed a sigh of relief, then sighed again: "Oh, Ah Ning... What do you like about him? He came from a poor background, and the result of the imperial examination is still unknown. If he fails, he is not a good match for you."

  Wen Ning didn't really like Pei You, and even had such doubts in her previous life when she looked at the women who flocked to Pei You.

  Where did they fall in love with him?

  Yi did not answer for a while, but only blinked.

  Wen Lan took advantage of the situation and said: "Although he is talented, Shen Jin is not much worse than him. Shen Jin is also capable of martial arts. He has military achievements at such an age, and you have a marriage contract with him since childhood..."

   "He looks better than Shen Jin..." Wen Ning's soft voice interrupted Wen Lan's words.

  Wen Lan:…

  He couldn't refute it... Wang You's appearance is indeed impeccable, elegant with coolness, deep with sharpness, even the temperament of his body, clearly from a poor family, often feels oppressive. Shen Jinchang wasn't bad, but compared to him, he fell short.

  It's just... When did Wen Ning become so superficial?

Before he could speak again, Wen Ning wiped her tears again with a handkerchief: "If the elder brother doesn't want to help, that's all. When the second brother comes back, Ah Ning will ask the second elder brother to help. The second elder brother always loves Ah Ning the most. Will not sit idly by."

   After speaking, he stood up and made a gesture to leave.

"A Ning, A Ning, don't..." Wen Lan stopped her, "That's all, big brother will go to Shu Zhi to find out after taking a shower in a few days." If Wen Qi, the devil in the world, knows, he doesn't know that he will make things happen. what it looks like.

   "But if he doesn't want to...you can't blame big brother!" Wen Lan added.

   "Of course." Wen Ning immediately showed a delighted smile, and Fushen said, "Brother Lao is worrying."

  —

  Spring in Beijing has always come later. Every year after the Spring Festival, it is often cold in spring, and the weather is a bit colder than the cold winter months.

  Unfortunately, this year, it suddenly snowed the day before yesterday, and it was like winter again.

Wang Qinsheng slammed the door bolt down, put his hands into his sleeves, stepped on the snow and walked quickly while cursing: "Pick up high and low things! What did you do before? If you want to enter the door at this time, go dreaming!" "

  Wang Qinsheng is Wang You's book boy.

  Wang’s family is not rich, but even at the most difficult time, Wang Fu never wronged Wang You in his studies.

  If other people have it, others must also have it.

   "Master, he said he was the uncle of the sister-in-law next door to the second aunt's house, so I sent him away."

  The Wang family only had a small courtyard, and Wang Qinsheng arrived at the main hall within a few steps, and replied to Wang Fu.

  Since the news that Wang You won the first place in the exam, relatives who hadn't seen each other for ten or eight years, relatives of relatives, and even people with no blood relationship at all, have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. From time to time, people came to visit the deserted house in the past.

   Mrs. Wang's family has been ill for a long time, and she couldn't stand such a disturbance, so she simply closed the door and refused to see visitors.

  But recently, in addition to these "relatives" who unilaterally came to recognize their relatives, there are also many people from the DPRK.

  Although Wang You did not have the idea of ​​clinging to the powerful, Wang Furui was still worried that an overly cold attitude would offend people, so whenever someone knocked on the door, he asked Wang Qinsheng to go and have a look.

  At this moment, Wang Fu is playing chess with Wang You.

  Wang Fu is not too old, he is just forty-five this year. It's just that since Mrs. Wang got sick, the family has gone from bad to worse. He has done all kinds of work and suffered all kinds of hardships. After more than ten years, he is now gray-haired, like an old man in his sixties.

   But he is in good spirits and has superb chess skills. The two fought each other on the chessboard without mercy.

   "Excuse me, Qin Sheng said that you went to the Temple of Mercy by yourself a few days ago, why?"

  There was another knock on the door in front of him, Wang Fu asked just as Wang Qinsheng left.

Mentioning this, Wang You frowned slightly, thought for a while before saying: "A few days ago, I received an anonymous letter, saying that it was an old friend who hadn't seen me for many years, and asked me to talk about it in Ci'en Temple. After thinking about it, I didn't find anything An old friend I haven't seen for many years, but saw that the handwriting was strong and strong, not from ordinary people, so I went there alone as requested in the letter."

  Wang Fu paused his chess hand: "Who did you see?"

  Wang You shook his head: "No."

  He went there early in the morning and stayed there for nearly two hours. He didn't meet anyone special, and no one came over to talk to him.

   "I met the eldest son of Wen Tingchun's family in Honglu Temple." Wang You said.

  Wang Fu said slowly, "Master Wen has been an official for several years. He is upright and strict. He has never participated in the disputes between the court and the Chinese party. It should not be him."

   "Well, it's just a chance encounter."

"But you still have to be careful." Wang Fu warned, "You come from a poor family. If you can win the palace examination at the end of the month, you will be the first six-yuan and the number one scholar in my dynasty. How many noble families will be swept away? How many princes and nobles' interests have been damaged? If they fail to win over, they will inevitably have other ideas."

  Wang You snorted very lowly, and said in a proud tone, "What can they do to me?"

  Wang Fu was actually a literati. It’s just that more than 20 years ago, the imperial examinations were not implemented maturely, and there were many objections to this in the court, especially the aristocratic families. Asking them to let go of their rights that originally belonged to them to students who passed the exams from poor families is tantamount to cutting flesh on their legs.

   Back then, he also achieved excellent results in the general examination, and he was full of expectations to be a blockbuster in the imperial examination, and to win glory for the poor students, but unfortunately...

  Before the palace examination, he was inexplicably beaten and severely injured. He was in a coma for half a month, and when he woke up, the palace examination results came out.

   "Excuse me, although I have always hoped that you can fulfill the unfulfilled long-cherished wish of being a father, but..."

   "Father, I won." Wang You's son fell down, the corners of his mouth curled up, full of ambition.

  At this time, Wang Qinsheng hurriedly walked in: "Master, young master, Wen Lan, who joined the army in the Jingzhao Mansion outside the gate, said that he wanted to meet you for something."

  Wang Fu and Wang You looked at each other at the same time. Wang Fu got up and said, "I'll go see your mother."

  Wang You closed his eyes to collect the remaining chess pieces on the chessboard, his thick eyelashes cast a quiet shadow on his lower eyelids, and after a moment, he said in a clear voice, "Please come in Wen Canjun."
