Half fairy

Chapter 223 Everyone Is Younger

To be Wen Mao's uncle is indeed very old.

The second grandpa feels that ordinary people don't have much time left. Looking back on his life, no matter whether it is good or bad, success or failure, he knows that after his death, he will be just a name on the family tree. In this world, he knew that he had a chance to become famous in future generations.

Now that he had the opportunity, how could Wen Miao, the head of the clan, refuse such a request from the Second Great Master?

So he found a relationship and spent money, and arranged for the second grandfather to be one of the people who offered tea or wine when Jinshi paraded through the streets, and found a good angle in a roadside restaurant, and arranged for a brilliant painter hired with a lot of money.

When the parade team arrived, among the three people who offered tea and wine to the No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua, there was the second grandpa, and the second grandpa arranged to meet Tanhualang.

Tanhualang took his drink, and there were conversations and polite greetings before and after he drank it all down.

This scene was recorded in the artist's painting.

The second grandpa passed away shortly after returning to Ningzhou. His name was Wen Yuanchun, and a great funeral was held.

And that one, Wen Yuanchun Hui Tribute Examination Four Subjects Full Score Tanhualang, Zunwen Respects the Elderly, and it was actually hung in the "Wenshu Pavilion" of Wen's Millennium Library, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of the second grandpa's last wish. .

If the Wen family is still there in a thousand years, future generations will have to look at this picture when they enter the "Wenshu Pavilion". They will know that there is another person named Wen Yuanchun among their ancestors, and they will feel how Wen's ancestors respected Wen Dao.

The name Wen Yuanchun may also become an allusion passed down by word of mouth among future generations.

Otherwise, it is really just a name turned over in the family tree.

Generally, only people like Wen Yan'an of the Wen family are eligible to be painted as portraits and hung in the Wenshu Pavilion. The portraits of the sixteen Jinshi of the Wen family have already been hung in the pavilion. Hang the portrait in Wenshu Pavilion.

When it comes to the portrait, Wen Yan'an is also very emotional. He can only blame himself for his incompetence when he watched his second grandpa go to toast others in the ranks of Jinshi.

Hearing that there was no way to invite Tanhua Lang to Wen's family, Wen Hui who asked the question had no choice but to give up with regret.

But when it came to the matter of respecting Tanhualang rather than Zhuangyuanlang, Wen Guo couldn't help being curious, "Yan'an, I heard that Tanhualang was the number one scholar, but was demoted to Tanhua by His Majesty, is that true? "

Wen Yan'an smiled wryly, "It seems that this incident has become known all over the world, and the number one scholar Zhan Muchun is the most embarrassing one, but the court is trying to refute the rumors in a way of praise, giving Zhan Muchun a lot of opportunities to display his talents.

Based on the disaster relief last year alone, it can be said that they were daring to do something. From Bapin, only one person who went to the disaster area to run errands and work, dared to offer advice to suppress the powerful and wealthy gentry, and then combined with local scholars and a large number of disaster victims to force the locals The big family had to open warehouses to release grain.

This is simply a general's hat pinned to his trouser belt and going all out for fun. In other times, people who do this will definitely end badly.

However, that time, he received the full support of His Majesty, who blocked the attack from the court for him, and even Xuan Guogong and others stepped forward to fully support him. Gaining huge popularity in the disaster area also offset many rumors about the title of champion.

Just because of that incident and after the incident, he was promoted two ranks because of his meritorious service. When I just left Beijing, he had been promoted again to rank six.

In just over a year, from the eighth rank to the sixth rank, and to the fourth rank in one year, it can be described as a rare rapid rise, and I don't know how many people are envious. "

Speaking of this embarrassing look, he is obviously very envious.

The answer also bypassed Wen Guo's question, and did not make any positive answer.

Wen Miao said slowly, "The imperial court may have strong support, but if it were you who went to the disaster area, would you dare to do that? Can you do it?"

Hearing this, An was silent, then shook his head slightly.

Wen Mao reminded, "What people have worked hard for is what they deserve. Don't say harsh words, and don't need to be envious. The family doesn't need you to fight hard. It only needs you to be stable and communicate with the family when you have something to do. Understand? "

"Yes." Hearing this, An bowed in response.

Wen Mao glanced at Wen Guo again, "There are some things that can be muttered at home, but if you dare to chew your tongue outside the house, it's up to the family law!"

Wen Guo's mouth twitched, and he answered with everyone, "Yes."

Wen Mao waved to everyone again, "All the female relatives stand down."

It's time to talk about business, a group of women who like to talk, no matter whether they are happy or unhappy, they all resigned honestly.

Without those chattering women, Wen Mao asked: "Yan An, the Wan family's son-in-law Yin Jizhen just mentioned, did he come back together this time?"

Wen Yan'an: "My fellow countryman went to Yushitai to ask him. He has something to do, and he may not come back until later."

Wen Mao: "You should know that the grand ceremony is about to begin, and you don't want Grandpa and I to follow behind the old ghost of the Wan family to beat him up in full view, right? I'm ashamed there, and the entire Wen family can't hold their heads up, so they just follow suit. At the Wenbi Conference, once Yin Jizhen appears on the stage as the son-in-law of the Wan family, are you sure you can win against him?"

Wen Yan'an hesitated, "Grandpa, with my identity and his identity, isn't it inappropriate to participate in this kind of thing now? He is also the spokesperson of Yushitai, so I'm afraid he won't participate?"

Wen Mao: "What I'm asking is in case, in case you want to appear on the stage, are you sure you can beat him?"

Wen Yan'an was a little hesitant, but in the end he didn't pretend to be false, and admitted with difficulty: "I have read the answers to the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination. It was not a fluke in each game. I performed stably, and I am indeed better than me."

Wen Mao rolled his eyes and knew it was over as soon as he heard it.

The so-called literary no-one can make literati admit that they are not as good as others, then the gap must be not small.

In fact, if Yu Qing hadn't taken the answer given by Mr. Ming as a reference and disrupted the situation, not only Yu Qing would not be the champion, but Zhan Muchun was also unlikely.

In other words, Yin Jizhen, who is second in the list, is the real No. [-] pick.

It's normal for Wen Yan'an to feel the gap between herself and Yin Jizhen.

Uncle Wen Jiantang, who is also Wen Yan'an's father, said in a deep voice, "An'er, you should work hard, work hard!"

Wen Yan'an hesitated to speak, but Wen Mao raised his hand to stop, "I wanted you to try it out, since I have realized the gap, so don't force it, Wen Zhi's talent is tricky, and it is the most reluctant No way. Well, if you can’t, then don’t do it, you’re an official after all, there’s no need for you to smear your face when you know you’re bound to lose, it won’t look good when you go back to Beijing.”

Wen Jiantang was a little anxious: "Father, what should we do? Among the children of the Wen family, Yan An is currently the strongest in terms of dancing and writing. If even Yan An can't stop the son-in-law of the Wan family, let alone the others." gone."

Wen Mao: "Is there no one in Wen's family? He has a son-in-law in Wan's family, but I don't have one in Wen's family? If not, let Xin'er's fiancé take the exam. Yu Wenyuan's score in the local examination is similar to Yin Jizhen's. Maybe the two can compete higher. Excuse me. What's more, with Mr. Yuwen's face, those judges have to think about it, at least they don't dare to favor Xiang Wan."

On the waterside pavilion by the lake, there were three people talking on the railing, and they were also talking about Wen Yan's return.

A chubby old man, a young man in white with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a capable woman in a long blue dress.

The chubby old man is the elder of Qinglian Mountain, named Fan Wuchou, who is in charge of the affairs of Qinglian Mountain disciples' experience in the mundane world. He has lived in Wenfu for a long time, and to some extent, he is also ensuring the safety of Wenfu.

The handsome young man with sword eyebrows and star eyes is his disciple, named Zou Yunting.

The woman in the blue skirt is also Fan Wuchou's disciple, named Song Pingping.

The three masters and apprentices who were talking turned their heads one after another, and saw Wen Xin walking quickly with a long metal tube in her hand, followed by the maid Xiaohong.

Seeing them, Wen Xin stopped and bowed, saluted before leaving.

Xiaohong also squatted down and gave a salute, and was about to run away.

"Xiaohong." Song Pingping stopped her, beckoned her to come over, and asked, "What is Xin'er in such a hurry?"

Xiaohong smiled mischievously, "Baby, at least in the eyes of the lady, it is a baby, a single word." Then she said to Zou Yunting with a sad face: "Mr. Zou, Zilong is still spitting food, he just refuses to eat, and keeps running away, why? Do it?"

Zou Yunting said calmly: "Continue to be hungry. When you are hungry, you can eat everything. If you tie it up and lock it up, you won't be able to escape."

Xiaohong sighed: "After it was locked up, it wouldn't eat or drink and kept whining. It's so pitiful. The lady couldn't bear it, so she kept letting it out. One of them slipped away without keeping an eye on it. It's so annoying."

Fan Wuchou laughed, "It's like weaning a child, it's normal to cry and fuss, there's a transition period, it'll be fine when it gets used to it."

"En." Xiaohong nodded vigorously, expressing her understanding, and then left.

Song Pingping said: "Master, I'll go and see what treasure Xin'er got." After getting permission, she also left quickly.

Zou Yunting watched him off, not his junior sister, but stared at the beautiful figure who had just disappeared at the intersection by the lake from afar.

Fan Wuchou glanced at the reaction of his disciples, and suddenly said to himself: "Everyone is young, and there are people who can't get it, some people can only be kept in the heart, things that don't belong to you, don't express them color, let alone put it into action, otherwise it will be bad for everyone.”

Hearing this, Zou Yunting was shocked, his face changed drastically, and he looked at Master with flustered eyes, as if he didn't expect that his hidden thoughts in the depths of his heart would be known by Master.

Fan Wuchou: "Everyone likes a good woman, but you should be clear that the Patriarch established a rule for Qinglian Mountain. The disciples in the sect cannot marry Wen's daughter or Wen's man, otherwise you will be severely punished. This is a lesson learned from the past. Rein in your desires so as not to mislead others and yourself. Your junior sister has shown affection for you, why should you let her down. If you are not sure about restraining your desires, I will give you a chance to return to Shanqing Let's fix it!"

Zou Yunting bowed his head and remained silent for a while before replying, "I understand."

Fan Wuchou closed her eyes and fell silent.

Yuyuan, Wenxin's residence.

Song Pingping had already caught up with Wen Xin, and asked, "Whose word did you get that made you so excited?"

Wen Xin smiled sweetly, "Ah Shiheng's original handwriting."

"Ah, is that Tanhua Lang? Quickly take it out and show me too."
