MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 22
Chapter 22
Before going home, Wen Ning went to the tailor shop to buy two men's clothes.
Wen Ning is already familiar with this kind of thing. After all, she has escaped so many times in her previous life, what kind of disguise has she never tried?
But to Linglan, it was still... dumbfounded.
When Wen Ning, dressed in men's clothes, and she in men's clothes, in the name of Wen Qi, bet five hundred taels of "Liu Ye Second-Class Scholars" in an underground gambling house, her whole heart was... numb.
She was numb, and she didn't know what she was doing with the girl.
But soon, her thoughts were diverted by Wen Ning.
Five hundred taels, ten times the odds, that is five thousand taels!
Linglan has never seen so much silver in her life. I am afraid that the entire Wen family may not have five thousand taels of silver.
And looking at the smiling face of her girl, she was sure that she would win, so sure that she wanted to take out her private money to raise a bet.
Bah, bah, see the bad Linglan who is open to money, go away, go away!
Wen Ning was indeed in a happy mood.
This kind of pleasure is not only due to the silver that may be in the bag, but also due to her perception.
If it is said that the initial divorce with Shen Jin was a kind of temptation, when she met Pei You unexpectedly for the first time, she was still so frightened that she couldn't help herself, and she still couldn't fully realize what her "rebirth" meant. A confrontation with Pei You in Yuntinglou gave her confidence.
That's Pei You.
She can even fool Pei You, so what is she afraid of?
And when she really took that step, wearing a men's clothing and going to the underground gambling shop that was incompatible with the "boudoir", she suddenly realized that she could do more things.
Why not?
Since doing it all over again, will she still be as muddle-headed as she was in her previous life?
She always makes her rebirth worthwhile.
Wen Ning took Linglan to finish the bet, and went to the Ministry of War to find Wen Qi.
Men's clothing is convenient, even though women in this dynasty are much more free than before because of the benevolent government of today, but walking on the street is not as comfortable as men.
Seeing her dressed like this, Wen Qi raised her brows high, scrutinized her from top to bottom meaningfully, and finally supported her hair crown: "It seems that the marriage with Shen Jin went very well, and I got a refund." A new sister is coming."
Wen Ning knew that with Wen Qi's personality, she would not have any objections to her attire.
The two had a final discussion on the future, and Wen Qi asked: "If he fails to win the championship in one fell swoop, will you still arrest him?"
"Catch it, of course!" Wen Ning said as a matter of course, "I'm looking at his people, not his talents!"
"Where is the father?"
"Don't worry, I've made arrangements for my sister!"
Wen Ning looked confident, and Wen Qi didn't ask any more questions. After all, that old man has always loved her the most. When the time comes, it's a done deal. Can he still jump out and object?
On the second day, Wen Ning did not leave the residence.
Yesterday, the teahouse told customers in advance, and today the drama has been lined up for a whole day without interruption.
Chun Wei has been brewing for so many days, presumably today will be the busiest day in the past few years in the major teahouses and restaurants in the capital. After all, everyone is going to squat and release the rankings tomorrow, and they won't get together to brag everywhere.
Wen Ning didn't want to join in this excitement. But anxiety is inevitable.
Linglan poured her tea cup after cup: "Miss, don't worry, the prince will definitely win the championship in one fell swoop and become a blockbuster."
Prince Wang?
Who cares about him.
If he fails the exam, she will wake up laughing from her dreams.
She is anxious about her money.
Five hundred taels!
Almost all of her net worth, the scholar named Liu Ye, there must be no mistakes in this life.
Linglan saw that Wen Ning took out the betting list from time to time to look at it, and couldn't help asking: "Girl, you are so anxious for money because you are worried about the prince's family..."
Linglan couldn't speak so bluntly, so she paused and said, "Miss, don't worry, the master will definitely marry a generous dowry."
Wen Ning was amused by Linglan again.
This silly girl.
How come when I was this age in my previous life, I didn't notice it at all, and I still regarded Linglan as my sister, and I felt that she was very reasonable in everything.
She wants money, and she does have other ideas in her heart, but she still needs to think carefully about what to do.
It’s just that no matter what you do, you will need money.
In her previous life, she was so worried about money.
In the past, she was raised in a boudoir without realizing it, later she married and became a woman, she didn't realize it, and she went to Pei You's backyard and still didn't realize it. It wasn't until she wanted to leave that she realized that it was absolutely impossible to have no money in this world.
She has so much jewelry, what is the use of it? Whenever she took out one and went to the **** shop, Pei You could immediately follow this clue to find her whereabouts.
Later, I finally managed to save a sum of cash, but found that it was not enough to spend.
In this world where money is absolutely impossible, with money, many unexpected things can be done, such as the disguise technique that is almost fake.
In her previous life, if she had more money, she might be able to escape from Pei You.
Wen Ning simply went to sleep.
In the dream, it was this day in her previous life, and she was also anxious and anxious, but it was because of Shen Jin. The next day when the rankings were released, Wen Lan was the first to tell her that Shen Jin had passed the examination as a second-class Jinshi. She was so happy that she wanted to jump up and cheer, but because of her boudoir training, she blushed.
Waking up, Wen Ning just sighed and didn't think about it.
It was rare for the Wen family to gather together this night. Wen Tingchun had been busy for several days, and he was relieved when the palace examination was over. The crowd in Beijing hadn't dispersed yet, Wen Lan would have many things to do, but he was eager to ask Wen Tingchun about the situation of the palace examination today, so he returned early.
As for Wen Qi, there will be such a "big" event at home tomorrow, of course he has to come back.
But when she came back, she glanced at the main hall, and found that Wen Ning actually didn't know that she would meet Wen Tingchun, and even Wen Lan didn't know about it.
At the dinner table, Wen Qi gave Wen Ning a wink, but Wen Ning just shook her head silently, and Wen Qi let out a long sigh.
Wen Tingchun is discussing today's palace examination with Wen Lan. Although he is not the chief examiner, he can always hear a lot of news when he is in the palace.
When he heard Wen Qi's sigh, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Sigh, what a shame!"
Wen Qi was used to being scolded by him, so it didn't matter, he picked up the vegetables with his chopsticks, thinking that the old man would probably vomit blood tomorrow, so he asked, "Father, how are you doing recently?" ?”
Wen Tingchun was talking to Wen Lan with great interest and heard that several young poor students performed very well this time, which made Jiahe Emperor full of praise, and even one of them was praised by him as a "talent of longitude and latitude".
Hearing Wen Qi's question at first, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his chopsticks and reprimanded: "Don't make trouble for dad, your dad and I are in very good health!"
Hearing this, Wen Qi only gave Wen Ning a look.
Wen Ning naturally understood the meaning of this look, and winked at him, signaling him to eat honestly.
If in normal times, the siblings come and go with ghosts in their hearts, they can't escape Wen Lan's eyes, but today his eyes are full of palace examinations, and when he hears Wen Tingchun's words, he feels even more elated: "Father, His Majesty praised you, but it was a student surnamed Wang?"
Wen Tingchun was surprised: "You know him?"
"It's more than acquaintance!" Wen Lan's joy was about to be written on his face, he glanced at Wen Ning, and held back, "Father, you will know in the future."
I am your good son, but I am the best matchmaker for your precious daughter haha!
"Rong Yu, a gentleman should be happy without showing it." Wen Tingchun said seriously.
"Rong Yu" is Wen Lan's character.
As the eldest son, Wen Tingchun has always asked him to be calm and courteous, and his requirements are stricter than Wen Qi's.
Wen Lan coughed lightly and restrained her expression.
Wen Qi saw Wen Lan's look at Wen Ning, it seems that his elder brother didn't know it at all?
What Wen Ning was thinking at this time was that she didn't know how well that Liu Ye was doing. If she asked, people present would definitely wonder how she knew Liu Ye. If she didn't ask, she would feel a little itchy.
That's all, it's just this night, tomorrow morning she will go out to sit on the list.
The three brothers and sisters had different ideas and had a dinner that seemed to be in harmony with the spirit.
The second day is the day when the imperial examination results were released in the 14th year of Jiahe.
Early in the morning, both Wen Tingchun and Wen Lan went out to work one after another. Wen Ning watched the two leave, and immediately changed into men's clothes with Linglan, and slipped out through the back door.
