MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 29
Chapter 29
Wuli Mountain is a well-known cemetery in the capital.
The family hired a carriage and arrived in less than half an hour.
There are official tombs in this cemetery, where many unknown heroes who died in the war are buried, and there are also many private tombs, where generations of families are buried.
Wang's family and his party of four came to an extremely inconspicuous small tomb. There was no name on the tombstone, and it simply wrote "Tomb of Shu's biological father and biological mother".
Wang Qinsheng skillfully placed the tribute, and Wang You began to offer incense.
Mrs. Wang hadn’t gone out for a long time, she was a little tired at this time, she sat on Wang Fu a little bit, saw Wang You’s back straight, bowed to incense, and silently thanked her in her heart.
Back then, despite her parents' objections, she resolutely married Wang Fu. Unexpectedly, she was in poor health and could not have children at all. Wang Fu valued friendship, refused to take concubines, and never disliked her. Instead, he ran around for money for her medical treatment.
I thought that the two of them would be lonely in this life, and didn't want someone to send them Wang You.
In those few years, there was turmoil in the south of the Five Ridges, either in border troubles or plagues. One day, an old woman brought her four-year-old Wang You to her home, claiming that she was separated from her family, hungry and cold, and wanted to stay for a few days.
The couple have always been kind-hearted, and seeing her with a thin child, of course they agreed. Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the second day, the woman disappeared, leaving only the four-year-old Wang You.
At that time, his surname was not Wang.
The woman may have revealed it intentionally at the dinner the night before, saying that she also found him in a mass grave on the border, and seeing that he was still alive, she brought him home to raise him. When he was found, he had only a purse all over his body, and there was a torn note in it, which wrote "My name is forgiven, and my words are forgiven".
She looked for the child, and sure enough, the woman had sewn the purse with the note on the inner coat. Obviously, he was too busy to take care of himself and deliberately kept Wang You here.
In those years, there were often soldiers burning, killing and looting on the border of Lingnan. The child was found in a mass grave, and his parents must have died. After discussing with Wang Fu, she decided to adopt the child.
After going through the official procedures, he used the only purse to set up a tomb for the parents of the child.
Six years ago, the family moved from Lingnan to the capital. She specifically told Wang Qinsheng to come later. It took more than half a year to move the tomb from Lingnan to Wulishan.
She is always grateful to Wang You's biological parents.
If it weren't for them, how could she have given birth to such a talented son as Wang You. He was also filial, and never let her and Wang Fu worry about him since he was a child, except that he was a little cold inside, perhaps because of the ups and downs of those years when he was young, although he didn't remember it, it was still imprinted in his bones.
But after all these years, he is probably still a gentle, courteous, wise and sensible man.
After Wang You finished offering incense, Mrs. Wang also had a rest, and she and Wang Fu burned incense together, thanked silently again in her heart, and the family went down the mountain.
At three quarters of the unitary hour, Wang You changed his clothes, **** his hair crown, and drove to Qionglin for the banquet in a plain carriage.
-
Since the implementation of the imperial examination, the Qionglin Banquet has been held every three years by the Holy Master in Qionglin Garden to celebrate the new Jinshi. Banquets are often filled with bright lights and colorful laughter.
This year, the imperial court produced the first six-yuan and No. 1 scholar, and the atmosphere of the banquet was even more lively.
And this excitement, naturally, mostly revolves around the champion Lang Wang You who has received much attention.
Not long after the banquet started, Wen Tingchun found a familiar colleague to change seats.
Originally according to his official position, he sat very close to Wang You, only two or three chapters away from the table. But he didn't want to be so close to him, even today...he wanted to ask sick not to come.
Wen Ning made such a fuss yesterday, after drinking for three rounds later, someone will definitely make a joke about him and Zhuangyuanlang.
How can he bear this old face!
But a few days ago, he was active in official affairs, seeing that the etiquette department was busy, he volunteered and transferred a group of people to assist Qionglin Banquet. If he doesn't come tonight, it's fine, but if anything goes wrong, those from the Ministry of Rites will poke him in the back.
Wen Tingchun sat in the corner, seeing that no one noticed him for the time being, he raised his eyes and glanced at the number one scholar who was surrounded by officials.
Wearing a robe with dark indigo patterns and a simple log hair crown, the whole body is full of simplicity, but the demeanor around him is not ordinary. Facing the greetings or flattery of the crowd, his face was always pale, but he did not appear arrogant, and he was always polite and polite, responding neither humble nor overbearing.
Looking at that appearance again, eyes are bright and brows are relaxed, teeth are white and lips are red, at a glance, he is actually compared to the young man present.
He suddenly understood why Wen Ning fell in love with him, and why he did such extraordinary things for him. Zhuangyuan Lang's appearance and talent, I'm afraid...
Wen Tingchun looked around, and there were several families in the court who had girls to marry, and they were all staring at them, especially Zhao Shangshu from the household department, who almost had the word "satisfaction" written on his face.
Wen Tingchun withdrew his eyes, accidentally glanced at the current emperor, and found that Emperor Jiahe was also staring at Zhuangyuanlang.
Emperor Jiahe reigned for fourteen years. He ruled the court arbitrarily, killed decisively, and had great power. At this moment, he looked at the new champion with a look of satisfaction with warm eyes and shining eyes.
Could it be...
Emperor Jiahe and the current Zhonggong, there is a princess who is like a jewel in the palm of her hand. She has been favored far more than the princes since she was a child.
It should not be.
The son-in-law of this dynasty is not allowed to be an official. It is rare for a six-yuan champion. Emperor Jiahe has always cherished talents. He should just appreciate it and would not ration him to Princess Zhaohe.
At the Qionglin Banquet, I saw a number one scholar with outstanding appearance and talent, more or less with their own thoughts, one after another glanced at Wang You's face.
Wang You didn't seem to notice it, and calmly dealt with the toasts.
"Zhuangyuan Lang!" Suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, the strength is not light, "Zhuangyuan Lang is really proud of his spring today, he is very energetic!"
Wang You turned around, and saw a man in green shirt, holding a paper fan, his temples were shining brightly, his smile was as contemptuous as his words.
Qin Zhi, Minister of the household department.
Son of Qin Shangshu, cousin of Qin Yu.
The visitor is not good.
"Qin Shilang." Wang You's face was warm, but his eyes were colorless, he only glanced at his paper fan, "I'm afraid it's wrong to shake the fan in front of the imperial court."
Qin Zhi's smile stiffened slightly, his eyes became colder, and he slowly put away the paper fan: "Thank you Zhuangyuan Lang for reminding me."
"You're welcome." Wang You glanced at him lightly, then turned to leave.
Qin Zhi said coldly: "My next cousin was broken two ribs at the door of Zhuangyuanlang's house a few days ago, and he is still sick on the bed. I don't know if Zhuangyuanlang knows about this?"
Qin Yu told him before that Wang You was arrogant and didn't care about the Qin family at all, but he still didn't believe it. When I saw him today, he really was a poor scholar, presumptuous and lofty.
Wang You raised his eyelids: "Qin Shilang means Qin Yu, Young Master Qin?"
Qin Zhi looked at him with a smile.
"Ms. Wang's family is poor and his residence is remote, and bandits often come in and out. Mr. Qin was born a nobleman, and his clothes are extraordinary. He must be coveted by bandits." Wang You looked serious, and his expression seemed extremely sincere. Investigating this matter, Jingzhao Mansion Yin is over there, Qin Shilang didn't see it?"
"Or Qin Shilang wants Wang to take you there?"
Qin Zhi held his breath in his chest.
"Let's go, Wang will take you there."
"You..." Qin Zhi turned pale with anger.
