  Chapter 27

  Because of Wen Ning and Shen Jin's divorce, Wen Tingchun thought about it for a while.

  He doesn't need to pursue power and power, and he doesn't seek high officials and high salaries, and he himself is indeed not a power-hungry person.

   But what about his children? Not to mention Wen Lan and Wen Qi, a man has to rely on himself to make a fortune, but Wen Ning, a daughter's family, even if he finds a good family for her after all kinds of choices, in the future she will marry her, in the first few years It is probably harmonious and beautiful, but after a long time, how can there be no friction between husband and wife?

  If the natal family is not strong enough to support her by then, where will they go if they are wronged?

   It may be time for him to adjust his direction, put the center back into the officialdom, and manage it well. After all, the children are already grown up, and they will no longer mess around like they did when they were young.

  So these days, he puts extra effort into his official duties, and besides, he is indeed busier than usual during the three-year scientific examination. I don't want him to be slapped in the face by those "grown up" children after he ignored his family for a few days.

  Wen Ning knew early on that she couldn't escape, so she knelt down straight with a plop, without any struggle.

  Wen Tingchun immediately yelled: "Old Qin, please family law!"

   "Master..." Qin Butler wanted to persuade.

   "Go!" Wen Tingchun's gray beard in the middle of his mouth and nose was trembling, obviously out of breath.

   "Daddy, it's all my daughter's fault, so don't be angry, Daddy." Wen Ning knelt on the ground and said honestly.

   "You still know that I will be angry? Why don't you just **** me off, huh?" Wen Tingchun has not been so fierce to Wen Ning for many years, but today's facts are breaking through his cognition.

  Before he was on duty today, he felt that his subordinates, who were very respectful on weekdays, would glance at him from time to time, as if hesitant to speak, wanting to say something but daring not to say it.

  After watching it many times, he simply caught one and asked, but the person half smiled, half inquiring and half reporting: "My lord, I heard... I heard that your family went to the list today to arrest a son-in-law?"

   It was completely beyond his imagination, and it took him a few breaths to realize what "catching a son-in-law under the list" was for.

  The man continued to want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh and said: "Still caught...Xinke No. 1 Scholar Wang Zi?"

  Wen Tingchun still remembers the feeling at that time, he only felt the blood rushing up all over his body, and his face should even be flushed.

"Marriage is an important matter, the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents. To catch a son-in-law! Who taught you? Who gave you the courage? Huh?" Wen Tingchun paced back and forth around Wen Ning, no matter what, he was soft and weak, obedient Qiaoqiao's daughter would actually do such a shocking thing behind his back!

"If you fall in love with the prince and tell me, Daddy will invite a matchmaker to come to the door and plan for you wholeheartedly!" Wen Tingchun really couldn't figure it out, "Although Daddy didn't rank among the three princes and nine ministers, did he talk about marriage for you?" Have no ability?"

  Wen Ning remained silent.

  Isn't this afraid that you will tell the truth.

   "What's more, the prince is the number one scholar personally appointed by the imperial pen! He is the first six-yuan and number one scholar in my dynasty! How can you let him get married so easily?"

  Wen Ning lowered her head: "Ah Ning is wrong."

   "Old Qin! Did your legs grow into the ground?!" Wen Tingchun yelled at Butler Qin.

   Qin Butler knew that the master loves the only girl in the whole family the most, and he thought that he would not want to beat her after the anger was over, so he took the ruler, but deliberately hid it to one side.

  But being scolded by Wen Tingchun, he had no choice but to step forward and hand over the ruler.

  Wen Tingchun held the ruler: "Do you know that this action will damage your boudoir reputation, and it will even damage the Wen family's face?"

   "It's Ah Ning's fault." Wen Ning stretched out her hand resignedly.

  Wen Tingchun gritted his teeth and was about to step down with a ruler.

   "Dad! No!"

   "Dad! This is all my idea for my sister!"

  Wen Lan and Wen Qi hurried over together, and knelt down straight in front of Wen Tingchun, very skillful.

  Wen Lan: "Father! It's all because of my son's incompetence in handling this matter. My sister is young, so how can I understand those great principles!"

  Wen Qi: "Father! I brought someone to Wang's house to catch his son-in-law, it has nothing to do with Ah Ning! I have thick skin, if you want to hit me, hit me!"

  When Wen Tingchun saw these two sons, he was even more angry. No one informed his father of such a big matter. Did he think his father died?

   "You know about this?" Wen Tingchun asked Wen Lan with a deep breath.

  Wen Lan didn't want to say it, but he had to say: "Before... my son set up a line for my younger sister, so that my younger sister met the prince, but..."

   "You...you..." Wen Tingchun felt his blood rushing up again.

  Wen Qi hurriedly said: "Father, don't get so angry!"

   Saying this made Wen Tingchun think of Wen Qi's sentence yesterday, "Father, you are in good health these days", but today's incident is counted!

   "Old Qin! Use the stick!"

  Wen Ning saw her two older brothers coming, and kept giving them winks to tell them not to say anything. After all, her father loved her, and she would be fine with a few rulers.

  But brothers are different.

   Sure enough, it went straight to the stick.

Wen Ning knelt on the ground dejectedly, made the last struggle, and looked at Wen Tingchun with tears in her eyes: "Father, it was Ah Ning's idea alone. It was Ah Ning who begged my elder brother to arrange for me to meet the prince, knowing that he would not agree to my list." I wanted to catch my son-in-law, so I lied to him that the prince was interested in me, and then I asked my second elder brother to help me, Daddy, both elder brothers love me as much as you do, that's why..."

   "Do you know that brothers love you and still do this kind of thing? Before tomorrow morning, I'm afraid the whole capital will laugh at you! When you ask your two brothers to marry wives in the future..."

   "Father, I don't have to marry!"

   "Father, I won't marry either!"

  Wen Ning: "..."

   Don’t say a few words, brothers.

  Wen Tingchun: "Where is the stick! Stick!!"

  In the end, Wen Lan and Wen Qi were hit with ten sticks each, Wen Ning was hit with five rulers, and Wen Tingchun also fined Wen Ning with a one-month grounding.

  Back in the room, Linglan gave Wen Ning some medicine in distress. She wanted to nag a few words, but she swallowed the words because she had suffered enough scolding from the master.

   But she really couldn't understand, why did it have to come to this point? This time her husband was not caught, and he was beaten. In the early morning tomorrow, the news that the only daughter of the Wen family fell in love with the number one scholar Wang You and did not hesitate to list her son-in-law would spread throughout the streets and alleys.

   "Where's the bank note?" Wen Ning knelt for half an hour. She was lying on the bed when she suddenly remembered this important matter and bounced up, "Linglan, do you still have the bank note?"

   "Here. You guide those two officers and soldiers away for me, and I will go home directly." Linglan sighed.

  Even five thousand taels of silver is not as important as boudoir reputation.

  Wen Ning lay back on the bed, but heaved a sigh of relief.

   This battle has been won.

  Although there were some surprises, the ultimate goal was achieved.

  After this incident, Pei You would no longer associate her with that little girl six years ago.

   She also got a lot of money.

   Compared to a comfortable life, what is a boudoir reputation? After half a month, Pei You will be recognized by the Duke's Mansion, and by then, those who laugh at her may say that she has good eyesight.

  I will be able to sleep well tonight.

  But it was true that they did not have dinner tonight, Wen Tingchun was furious, and fined them not to eat dinner for another three days.

   Fortunately, I ate enough at Mrs. Wang's place.

  Wen Ning thought of those two bowls of noodles, um... really delicious.

  But she doesn't envy Pei Youyouniang anymore. Besides her father, she has two older brothers who love her, don't they?

  Wen Ning lay comfortably on the bed after taking a bath, and being confined for a month is fine. These days, in order to deal with Pei You, she has been worrying and calculating all day long, and now she can finally take a good rest.

   Wait for her to rest for a while before making plans for the days ahead.

  Wen Ning soon fell asleep.

  She thought that she would sleep in an extremely comfortable and deep sleep, but she didn't think it was actually not safe.

  She always felt like she forgot something.

  The sea of ​​consciousness is ups and downs, and various broken pictures are taking turns.

  She kept wondering what she forgot.

  Until a sudden light flashed in her mind and she opened her eyes.

  It was a quiet night, and the room was dark, with only a few rays of moonlight shining on the window lattice.

  She sat up. It's already April, and the night is no longer cold, but she still feels a little bit of coolness creeping up to her skin through the quilt.

   She remembered.

   Remembering what she forgot.

  That was a very small matter for her in her previous life, probably just a casual mention after dinner one day.

  But she solved her previous doubts.

  Why did Wang Qinsheng stop following Pei You after he returned to the Duke's Mansion? Why has she never met Mrs. Wang after being by Pei You's side for so many years, and she didn't even hear him mention it anymore.

  In April of the 14th year of Jiahe, the eldest princess Ronghua found her long-lost biological son, and she was welcomed home with honor after reporting to the Holy Majesty.

   On the day when the ancestors were recognized and returned to the clan, the royal house was flooded, and a fire burned a couple and a servant in the house to the bone.
