MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 24

  Chapter 24

  Wen Ning knew that Pei You might not suddenly look up at the second floor of the teahouse, but subconsciously avoided it, only looking at him from behind the window lattice.

  When the spring breeze was proud of the horseshoe disease, the expression on his face was pale, and the red silk flowers on his chest made him look a bit colorful.

  He has always looked neither sad nor happy, but to outsiders, he looks gentle and indifferent.

  Back then, many people talked about the number one scholar, and they all commented that "the gentleman is modest, the moon is clear and the wind is clear".

   But it's not.

  He is not thin, he is cool.

  She remembered that she fled one year, when she was not yet experienced enough, she was pushed forward by the crowd when she got on Chang'an Avenue, and then she witnessed him beheading a family in person.

   At that time, he also had this expression.

   Neither sad nor happy, it seemed that no matter what happened, it was not worth blinking his eyelids.

He just sat there high, watching one head after another with a blank expression. There was even a child under three years old who was too scared to cry. He just watched like that until his head fell. landing.

  Everyone said Mr. Pei was "stern and selfless", but she saw a bit of cruel pleasure in his dull eyes.

  After that time, she was terrified of him.

  He is basically a beast with a warm skin, seemingly harmless, but there is a bloodthirsty heart hidden inside.

   "Girl, we're hired, when shall we go?" Linglan's voice brought back Wen Ning's thoughts.

  Wen Ning retracted her eyes: "Go, go now."

   There are too few trustworthy people around. The last time Wen Ning made a bet, she personally brought Linglan here.

The gambling house is really as lively as she imagined, some are proud and some are frustrated, but no matter whether they are successful or not, most of them go to the gambling table immediately with the money in their hands. If they win, it is free money anyway. Just be happy, if you lose, you will naturally be unconvinced and want to get your money back.

  Wen Ning's banknotes were obtained more smoothly than expected, and the shopkeeper kept praising her for her good vision and good luck, and added: "Such a good fortune, sir, don't you want to take advantage of the victory and chase after it?"

  Wen Ning took the banknote and stuffed it into her bosom, not falling for his trap.

  It's just that she was about to take Linglan away when she heard a familiar shout at the door: "Come on! Copy this black gambling house to Ben Junjun!"

-

   On the other side, Wen Qizhao and Wen Ning agreed to stay at the gate of the Wang residence.

   Today, the Wang family is very lively, the door is open, and the sound of firecrackers is constant. Wang Fu's face was full of red, and together with Wang Qinsheng, he greeted the people who came to congratulate him.

  According to the custom, the Wang family will host a banquet in the evening.

   Very good, the wedding banquet is skipped.

Wen Qi leaned against the corner of the wall and yawned loudly. When he saw noon and his legs were sore, he finally saw a group of guards of honor approaching. After a few words, he walked into the house.

  Wen Qi regained his spirits immediately.

   "Go!" With a big wave of his hand, he beckoned the ten or so people behind him to follow.

  Da Yin's style of catching his son-in-law under the list also began in the Jiahe period. Since Emperor Jiahe came to the throne, he has implemented many policies that are of great benefit to women's rights and interests. In fact, the roots lie in today's Fengjia.

  The emperor and empress have been married for decades, and their love has increased. Emperor Jiahe respected and favored the queen, and the queen was benevolent in her heart, and often lamented the difficulty of women in the world. After Emperor Jiahe heard about it, he remembered them all in his heart, and despite the objections of the admonishers, he implemented many new policies that were beneficial to women.

  For example, women can also divorce their husbands, for example, women who have not left the cabinet can also walk in the market, and should not be criticized by old virtues.

   And this list of catching a son-in-law originated from a joke made by the queen.

It is said that there was a family banquet in the palace, and some royal relatives talked about a civil case. A man robbed a civilian woman. The woman sued the government office. The man said that it was not his fault, but that the woman was too beautiful. No end, only to make such a bad move. Since Shangguan felt that what the man said was quite reasonable, who made the woman look too ostentatious?

  The queen heard this and said angrily: "If the woman sees the man she likes, can she also take him home?"

   Emperor Jiahe then nodded: "The empress is right."

No one knows how the final case was judged, but in the imperial examination that year, there was a bold man who hired someone to directly catch a student who was not on the list on the day the result was released. It became a dream of "the night of the wedding ceremony when the gold list was named", and the two married on the spot, which became a beautiful talk.

  Since then, every scientific examination, there will always be one or two students who are arrested and go to worship and get married, which has become a unique custom of Dayin for a while.

   Only those who were arrested, or those who dared to be arrested by folks, were mostly low-ranking Jinshi. No one had dared to catch the number one scholar, and he was the only six-yuan and number one scholar since the founding of the dynasty.

   Therefore, when Wen Qi stepped into Wen's house and asked Wang Fu with a smile, "Is your son married?" Wang Fu never thought of this, and naturally told the truth: "Never."

   "That's why I'm bothering you." Wen Qi made a bow, "Wen Qi of the Wen family in Xiahonglu Temple, there is a young girl in his family. She has a good appearance and good conduct, and she is worthy of a son."

   After finishing speaking, without waiting for Wang Fu to respond, he greeted the people behind him: "Go! Come with me to pick up my uncle back to the mansion."

   It only made Wang Fu dumbfounded.

  Wang Fu reacted a beat slower, but Wang Qinsheng was extremely fast.

  He is a domestic servant, but he is also Wang You's book boy, so he has naturally heard of "catching a son-in-law under the list", so he immediately ran to Wang You's study.

   "My lord, my lord!" Wang Qinsheng was overjoyed.

   No wonder it is said that reading is good, it is said that there are people in the book like jade, so I am waiting here! I think his son is twenty-one, let alone a wife, there are several cubs in the family, but his son doesn't even have a roommate.

   Just after the list was released, someone came to the door.

   It sounds like an official girl!

   "My lord! We are going to have a mistress!" Wang Qinsheng ran out of breath, and shouted excitedly when he entered the study.

  Wang You just came back not long ago, was cleaning his hands, looking over inexplicably.

  Wang Qinsheng just remembered and panted: "Young master, outside...someone is coming outside, the son-in-law is here!"

  Wang You's face froze, and without waiting for him to ask, Wang Qinsheng continued: "It's the Wen family of Honglu Temple! My son, Miss Wen family, you..."

  Wang Qinsheng thought that his young master hastily wiped off the water stains on his hands and was going out to meet people, but he didn't know that before he finished speaking, Wang You had already opened the west-facing window of the study and walked out through the window.

"do you know it…"

  Wang Qinsheng watched Wang You disappear into the study with lightning speed, dumbfounded.

  Isn’t it everyone’s dream to have a wedding night in the bridal chamber when they were named on the gold list? His son... ran away?

   No, when did his son turn the window so vigorously and skillfully?
