Beauty has a disease

Chapter 91 The Scholar
Teng Yanyun was an orphan, and lived in the ruined temple until she met Ember, and was later adopted by her grandfather, but her grandfather died, and she had no home, so she lived in the ruined temple and became a beggar.

It is not easy to be a beggar. She is hungry and full, hungry every day, sick and has no money to look after, and no one knows whether she is warm or cold. She thought she would die in a ruined temple.

It wasn't until she met Ember a year ago that she brought her home again.

Although she calls her elder sister Ember, strictly speaking, Ember is her master. The master teaches her to read poetry and read, exercise, and also takes care of her food and housing and teaches her the principles of the world. She is very satisfied.

Teng Yanyun softly hummed the [-]-way tune. He was very skilled in handling fish, scraping the scales, handling the internal organs, removing fishy lines, making cuts, heating the pan with oil, and frying...

The smell of rice soon burst out from the kitchen. Teng Yanjun was busy in the kitchen, making out a piece of fish, a pot of porridge, and a dish of side dishes.

"Sister is eating!"

Teng Yanyun brought the food into the room, and saw that Yu Jin was still reading a book in front of the case, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to take out the book, "Don't read it when it's too late, sister come and eat quickly."

Ember closed her eyes and pinched the center of her brows, she was obviously a little tired, she hummed, cleaned her hands and sat down at the table.

"What did my sister go out today? She came back so late."

"It's nothing, I went to Wang's house."

Teng Yanjun's eyes widened when she heard the words, she looked at Ember, trying to see something from Ember's eyes: "Are you looking for Uncle Xingzhi?"

Ember hummed first, then teased, "You call me sister, why do you call Wang Xingzhi brother?"

Teng Yanjun put it on the chopsticks, she snapped her fingers and said, "Look, sister, you are about the same age as me, just a little older than me." She gestured with two fingers a fingernail distance away, "Uncle Xingzhi has already He is 20 years old, seven years older than me, why can't he be my uncle."

Ember laughed, "That's not what you shouted at first."

Teng Yanyun rolled her eyes, feeling a little guilty, she did call Wang Xingzhi her brother at first, but recently she discovered a little secret of Wang Xingzhi.

Teng Yanjun carefully looked at Ember, and asked tentatively, "What is my sister going to see Uncle Xingzhi for?"

Ember glanced at her, and raised one eyebrow slightly, "Why do you ask this?"

Teng Yanjun smiled, "I'm curious, just ask, sister doesn't want to say it's fine." Teng Yanjun said, adding vegetables to Ember's bowl, "Sister, eat quickly, or it will be cold."

Ember snorted and didn't pursue Teng Yanyun's purpose. She picked up the food in the bowl and said, "I had a heart-to-heart talk with your brother Xingzhi... no, I had a heart-to-heart talk with your uncle Xingzhi."

"Talking?" Teng Yanyun opened his mouth, wanting to ask what was discussed, but Ember patted his head, "Hurry up and eat, don't keep asking about what you have, kids, don't worry about adults."

"Sister, I'm not young anymore." Teng Yanyun couldn't help retorting, "I'm an adult now."

"That's also younger than me, Yanyun, I'm already." Ember said this sentence in a tone of emotion, "It's only two numbers behind 20 years old, I'm old."

Ember said tsk tsk and shook her head.

"Everyone says I'm an old girl."

Teng Yanyun grabbed the chopsticks and slapped the table, "My sister is not old, are those gossiping women in the village talking ill of my sister behind her back, sister, tell me who it is, and I will settle the score with them!"

"Ouch!"

Teng Yanyun covered the back of his head, "Sister, why are you taking pictures of me again, what should I do if you are stupid?"

Ember slowly withdrew her hand, "It's still settled, the hair is not fully grown yet, let's eat!"

"Oh."

Ember and Teng Yanjun live together in the small courtyard of the village. Ember doesn't like those sloppy rules, and Teng Yanyun has never learned those red tapes, and he doesn't pay attention to "eating and sleeping." The two talked and laughed Laughing and making noise, this is the daily life of the two of them.

After the meal, Teng Yanyun took over the job of washing dishes, and Ember patted her to let her go back to sleep, "Children need to sleep a little longer, and they will grow taller if they sleep more."

"It's just a matter of washing the dishes, it's not a problem."

Teng Yanyun glanced at Ember's left hand, she packed the bowl and put it on the tray, and ran away without giving Ember any time to react, "Let me do it, sister go to bed early!"

The embers were empty, she shook her head, cleaned up the debris that fell on the table, and went back to the bedroom to extinguish the fire of the candlestick.

In the darkness, Ember was lying on the bed with her clothes on, under the unrolled quilt, with her right hand behind her head, listening to Teng Yanjun's clanking sound of washing dishes, her eyes were clear and she was not sleepy.

She couldn't help but think of the scene of negotiating with Wang Xingzhi at Wang's house.

Back in time to just before sunset.

Ember received the letter from the Wang family of Shuntian Mansion, and first wrote some simple greetings in the letter, followed by the purpose of the letter from the Wang family—to persuade Wang Xingzhi to pass the imperial examination next year.

That is next year's spring.

Wang Xingzhi is a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. His ancestral home is Shuntian Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. Like the Cui family, he is a real scholarly family. Throughout the ages, there have been many famous officials and officials, and there are also many Confucian scholars who concentrate on studying ancient classics.

And Wang Xingzhi is the best student in his generation. He was supposed to take the exam three years ago, but something happened during the period and Wang Xingzhi couldn't catch up.

The general examination is held every three years, and if you miss it once, you have to wait for three years. The imperial examination spans all age groups, and it truly achieves "live to the old, take the test to the old."

Wang Xingzhi was talented at that time, and he was considered young in the imperial examination field. It would not be a pity to miss it once. He could afford to wait for three years.

Wang Xingzhi also thought the same way. He had learned a lot in the book, so he wanted to travel and gain knowledge. However, some things happened during the period, which caused Wang Xingzhi to have a different idea about the imperial examination. He wrote home and said that he did not want to continue. Participated in the imperial examination.

This letter exploded in the Jiangnan Wang family, how could it be possible not to participate in the imperial examination!

The Wang family tried to persuade him, but Wang Xingzhi didn't listen to it, and he didn't listen to the soft and hard. If he changed the place, he couldn't find anyone for the Wang family's letters.

It wasn't until a year ago that the Wang family found Wang Xingzhi in the backwaters of Beidi, and persuaded him to go back. Wang Xingzhi was unmoved. At that time, he happened to meet Ember who had just entered the village, and was forced to sleep.

Ember still remembers the scene at that time. As soon as she stepped into the village with her front foot, Wang Xingzhi pointed at her Wang family parents who were pulling at the door and said, "This is the person I like, I can't go back with you."

The parents of the Wang family were shocked, and so was Ember.

After the Wang family's parents were shocked, they became inquiring and curious, while after the ember was shocked, they became vigilant.

WTF?I'm afraid she has entered some kind of human trafficking village again! ?

Could this be a new trick by human traffickers?
Then should she report to the government?

At the moment when Wang's parents stared at her, many things flashed through Ember's mind, but she never thought that Wang Xingzhi was just using her as a shield.
