kill the immortal

Chapter 12 12, Fiancee
Mansion of Wenren.

In the pavilion of the inner house, a young man sat on a stone bench and looked at the newly bound book in his hand, and judged: "These poems don't look much different from last time, you people at the poetry meeting How can it be all these levels?"

Sitting across from him was a gentle woman in a red pomegranate dress. While sipping tea, she said in an unhurried manner: "If there was a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, the Xiyuan Poetry Society would have been famous all over the world."

The young man smiled and said, "Isn't there any famous poet in Luoyang, and you haven't invited him?"

The gentle woman said: "I have invited a few people before, but the best poems are not in the vernacular, and the works of some well-known talents at the poetry meeting also lack a lot of charm, and some people are proud of their talents. Poetry will dismiss it."

The young man looked at the book in his hand and sighed: "It seems that there are very few literati like Layman Nanchuang in this world."

The gentle woman said: "Xuantang is lucky to have a Nanchuang layman."

The young man continued to flip through the book full of poems, and suddenly let out a light snort.

"One piece, two pieces...Is this written by Yu Huanzhang?"

He looked at the signature with a look of surprise on his face.

The gentle woman didn't speak, but just drank tea quietly.

The young man tasted the words back and forth, and suddenly laughed: "It's interesting, Yu Huanzhang is enlightened."

He read the whole book, thought for a while and asked: "Sister, I heard that you invited Shentu Junshi this time?"

This young man is the legitimate son of Wenren Yunjian, Wenren Jingheng, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

"En." Wenren Jinping replied softly.

"Is Shentu Junshi as it is in the rumors?" Wenren Jing Heng asked curiously.

Wenren Jinping thought about it: "What is he in the rumors?"

"It is rumored that Shentu Junshi is just like his father, he is perverse and fierce, killing people without blinking an eye."

Wenren Jinping thought to himself, this rumor is not groundless.

She remembered the poem written by Shentu Junshi, and said in silence for a moment: "He didn't say much at the poetry meeting, so it's hard for me to judge."

"Oh." Wenren Jingheng didn't doubt it either. After putting down the book, he rested his chin on the stone table boredly.

He sighed a long time: "It's really boring, I also want to go to Chang'an to play, Huan Ting is not under his father's care, he must be dead cool now."

Wenren Jinping raised his eyebrows: "Have you finished your homework today?"

Wenren Jing Heng curled his lips, got up and left the pavilion: "Don't do it, don't do it, let's go out to play today."

Wenren Jinping said: "Aren't you afraid that Daddy will teach you a lesson?"

"Father has a visitor today, I just need to come back in the afternoon."

Seeing her naughty brother go away, Wenren Jinping sighed helplessly. She hoped that her brother would be more sensible, but her brother didn't listen to her, and she couldn't discipline her.

Wenren Jinping picked up the book on the stone table, and saw the four sentences signed by Yu Huanzhang.

The handsome young man who had been by Yu Huanzhang's side on the day of the poetry meeting flashed through her mind. She didn't know why he was able to write such a wonderful essay in a short period of time, which seemed to be extraordinary.

This booklet records all the poems and essays from the last poetry meeting, except for Shentu Juanshi's poem.

She also thought that poem was vulgar, and she didn't have any ill feeling towards Shentu Junshi, but she really didn't like Shentu Junshi's profligate performance at the poetry meeting.

Wenren Jinping is very confident in herself, she thinks it's perfectly normal for a man to want to possess her, but at least it shouldn't be so rude.

But Shen Tu Junshi's father was Shen Tu Ying. Wen Ren Jinping recalled what his father had said about his family's situation that day.

She also wants to help her father share some.

Yu Jingtang's car stopped at the main entrance of Wenren's Mansion, and An Yan got out of the car with Yu Jingtang. It was the first time for him to walk through the front entrance of such a wealthy family. Although it was not as grand as Xiang's Mansion, it was still grand extraordinary.

After Yu Jingtang mentioned his marriage that day, An Yan also briefly asked the servants around her for advice.

The only information I got from the servants was that this person had been the minister of the Ministry of Rites for ten consecutive years, and his official position had never been changed, promoted or demoted in the past ten years.

At the main entrance of Wenren Mansion, the servants lined up in two rows, An Yan and Yu Jingtang walked in together, and saw a rich middle-aged man welcoming them, with an approachable smile on his face, walking Lu Lai's figure was staggering, and the fat on his face was trembling.

The middle-aged man greeted Yu Jingtang, calling out: "Jingtang!"

An Yan suddenly felt a little confused, Wen Ren Yun Jian's name was too elegant and refined, and he was also Wen Ren Jinping's father, so he thought that the other party was a handsome and extraordinary person.

But looking at the tall, fat man with a kind face in front of him, An Yan doubted whether Wenren Jinping was his own.

After Yu Jingtang and Wenren Yunjian met, they didn't have any hypocritical politeness, they just called each other's name, and Yu Jingtang introduced An Yan.

"This is my nephew, An Yan, the son of an old friend of mine."

Wenren Yunjian looked An Yan up and down, his eyes narrowed and he couldn't see.

"This is my friend's advice, you can also call him uncle." Yu Jingtang said to An Yan again.

An Yan immediately saluted respectfully: "Nephew has met Uncle Wenren."

Hearing that Yu Jingtang made An tired of calling her uncle, Wenren Yunjian suddenly showed a smile on his face. He looked a little festive, which made it hard to feel disgusted.

This might be his future father-in-law, An Yan kept his posture extremely low.

"Okay, okay, let's talk inside first."

Wenren Yunjian nodded, and then led the two of them through the courtyard and into the living room.

"I didn't expect you, Yu Jingtang, to have friends." Wenren Yunjian said in a teasing tone.

"I haven't seen you mention it either."

Yu Jingtang pondered and said: "A long time ago, his father An Guanglie had saved my life before he was alive. Not long ago, something happened to his family, so he came to me from Yanzhou to Luoyang. He was also met by robbers along the way." .”

"Blessings and destiny." Wen Renyun nodded and said, looked at An Yan and smiled again: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing. Your uncle is the biggest official in Luoyang."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly thought again: "Are there already bandits in the border of Yanzhou?"

In the prosperous Xuantang Dynasty, the people were rich and well-fed, and everyone had enough food and clothing to keep warm. No one was willing to become a bandit. However, the natural disasters that happened for several years in succession made the people suffer.

Yu Jingtang frowned and said: "It is estimated that this situation may have occurred in not only Yanzhou, but also in the counties and counties covered by the disaster. The local officials are afraid of being the first example if they do not hide it from the report."

"Where is the Queen of Heaven?"

"I have privately sent people to various states and counties to conduct detailed investigations. After obtaining detailed information, I will report to the Queen of Heaven."

An was tired of hearing the two of them suddenly chatting about political affairs, and without caring about herself, she just sat there without moving.

"I heard that Xuanjiawei killed many people outside the city yesterday." Wenren Yunjian said again.

"A new batch of refugees didn't follow the order when serving porridge, and there was a conflict, and the Xuanjia guards started to fight." Yu Jingtang said, he knew such things in detail, even the number of dead I know, I just didn't say it.

Wen Renyun remonstrated with a sigh: "If it doesn't rain and the land doesn't grow seedlings, Luoyang can provide for these refugees for one year. Is it possible that they will provide for two or three years?"

Yu Jingtang frowned and said nothing, Xuantang has never encountered such a disaster for several consecutive years in hundreds of years, this has aroused countless rumors, rumors in the market are that the demon queen is in power, and the treacherous officials are in power, which is against the law of nature.

This "treacherous official", some said Shen Tu won, and some said he was Yu Jingtang.

Most of the people who said this are dead.

"Let's not talk about it for now." Yu Jingtang shook his head, pointing at An Yan and Wenren Yunjian and said.

"My nephew has just turned seventeen this year and is not yet married."

Wen Renyun was stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Jingtang, then at An Yan, and fell into deep thought.

An Yan couldn't help feeling tense, he felt that hearing people's remonstrance was examining himself.

Wenren Yunjian suddenly said to the servant outside the living room: "Come here, go and call the lady."

After all, he looked at An Yan and asked, "Are you going to take the exam?"

But Yu Jingtang said in front of An Yan: "Why, do you want him to be an official?"

Wenren Yunjian grinned: "It's better to be an official, and it's better not to be an official. If you want to be a rich man, you can go to Chang'an."

An tired of thinking, the other party seemed to be arranging his own future path.

Wenren Yunjian continued to ask: "What do you think?"

An Yan found that Yu Jingtang was also looking at her, and said respectfully: "My nephew has no talent for becoming an official, nor does he have any lofty ambitions, he just wants to live a stable life."

Wenren Yunjian nodded, and suddenly laughed out loud, looking sideways at Yu Jingtang: "This sounds familiar."

Yu Jingtang looked calm, looked at An Yan and said nothing.

After a while, there was a figure at the door of the living room, An Yan turned her head to look, and it was the famous man Jinping whom she had seen at the poetry meeting.

The red pomegranate dress she is wearing today is much brighter than that day, and it also makes her even more dazzling.

"Jingping is here." Wenren Yunjian waved to her.

Wenren Jinping, with a dignified and elegant demeanor, walked into the living room gracefully, and saluted Wenren Yunjian and Yu Jingtang.

"Meet daddy, Uncle Yu."

It can be seen that the relationship between the two families is very close. Yu Jingtang and Wen Ren Yun Jian talked casually, and Wen Ren Jinping was used to seeing Yu Jingtang.

And when she looked up and saw An Yan who was sitting by the side, she was obviously taken aback, and then blinked curiously.

"This is An Yan, your uncle Yu's nephew, one year younger than you, you can call him brother for now."

tentatively called...

The thoughtful Wenren Jinping looked at An Yan who was sitting there, and suddenly felt a little absurd in his heart.

But she didn't lose her composure, and said in a flash of thought: "I didn't expect to meet Brother Yan again."

"You guys know each other?" Wenren Yunjian asked in surprise.

An Yan said at this time: "Yesterday at the Xiyuan Poetry Club, my nephew met with Brother Huanzhang...with Miss Jinping."

He felt strange in his heart, why they suddenly called each other brother and sister.

Wenren Yunjian laughed: "You are really destined."

Wenren Jinping secretly noticed his father's expression, and smiled again: "Yesterday's poems and essays written by my younger brother are still fresh in Jinping's memory."

"Oh? My nephew can also compose poetry?" Wen Renyun asked with a smile, stroking his beard.

Yu Jingtang was also a little surprised. He clearly remembered that when he asked An Yan about his knowledge, An Yan said that he had never even attended a private school.

An Yan also found it troublesome, so she said: "Sister Jinping must have lost her memory, brother Yu didn't write a poem, brother Huanzhang wrote one."

Wenren Jinping continued to say with a smile on his face, "I must have misremembered that."

Does Yu Huanzhang know how to write poems, do Yu Jingtang and Wenren Yunjian know?
Wenren Yun remonstrated and thought: "What poem, come and listen to it."

Wenren Jinping nodded slightly, and then said in front of everyone: "The topic of yesterday's poetry meeting was about the newly planted flowers and trees in the garden. The content of the poem is..."

Saying that, Wenren Jinping's voice paused, and said softly: "One piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, seven pieces, eight pieces, nine pieces, ten pieces, countless pieces, flying into the grass and disappearing."

When hearing the first three lines, Wen Ren Yun Jian's expression was weird, and Yu Jingtang's face turned dark, and when Wen Ren Jinping recited the last line, both of them became stunned at the same time.

After a while, Wen Renyun remonstrated: "Not bad, not bad."

He looked at An Yan thoughtfully, then smiled again, and asked the people beside him, "What does Jingtang think?"

Yu Jingtang just gave a faint "hmm".

Wenren Yunjian burst out laughing, as if something happy had happened, and said to Wenren Jinping, "Jinping, take nephew An Yanxian to visit the mansion, the newly added colorful carps in the backyard pond are even more interesting." It's beautiful, you two can go watch it together."

Wenren Jinping was very obedient, nodded in agreement, An Yan heard the sound and got up, saluted Yu Jingtang and Wenren Yunjian, and left the living room with Wenren Jinping.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Wenren Yunjian said cheerfully: "This son is beautiful."

There were only two of them left in the living room, Yu Jingtang said, "Just as long as you are satisfied."

Wenren Yunjian picked up his teacup and said with a smile: "You Yu Jingtang has helped me so much, I have nothing to dissatisfy with it. It's not a disadvantage for Jinping to follow him."

As he spoke, he sighed again, lowered his head and drank his tea.

"My concern is that I have a son and a daughter. Jing Heng is a man, so it's okay to suffer a little bit. Jinping is a weak woman. She has read books and has a high spirit. She often compares herself to Nanchuang Layman. I'm afraid she will not be able to bear it in the future. .”

Yu Jingtang was silent and said after a long time: "Don't worry, I will protect them both."

Wenren Yunjian laughed and said: "What's sad, Xuan Tang can do without me Wenren Yunjian, but he can't live without you Yu Jingtang. If I can exchange for a lifetime of peace, this is my childhood dream."

childhood dream...

Yu Jingtang suddenly thought of what An Yan said just now.

When he was young, he would never have thought that he would be a prime minister one day.

"Thinking of the three masters of martial arts back then, I was the only one who had been a servant for ten years. The hundred-year-old tribute is coming soon. It is both a success and a benevolence!"
