Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 262 Teaching Wen Yanjing a Lesson

After Yuan Wenshao inspected the military camp, he returned home and learned that Haishi was here and was talking to Hualan in the main hall.

Yuan Wenshao didn't think much and went directly to the main hall.

"I've met my eldest brother-in-law."

When Haishi saw Yuan Wenshao coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted.

Yuan Wenshao waved his hand and said, "You guys chat, I'll go change clothes."

"Official!"

Hualan called out to Yuan Wenshao and said, "Something happened at my parents' side. My younger siblings came here to ask for our help."

"What happened?" Yuan Wenshao asked confused.

"Brother-in-law, this is what happened..." Haishi told what happened.

Mrs. Wang wanted to check whether Ru Lan was perfect, but Ru Lan naturally refused.

In the end, Madam Wang had someone forcefully inspect her body and it was found that Ru Lan was indeed in perfect condition.

Ru Lan knew that her lie had been exposed, and she directly told Mrs. Wang that she would not marry unless Wen Yanjing was involved.

Madam Wang was so angry that she was slapped ten times, and then she was sent back to her room. She also told her that Ru Lan was not allowed to step out of the room without her permission.

Who would have thought that Ru Lan actually committed suicide, but fortunately the maid found out in time and saved her.

When Mrs. Wang heard the news, she was so angry and anxious that she fainted.

It was related to Rulan's reputation. Madam Wang wanted to hide this matter at first, but now she couldn't hide it anymore.

When Heidegger found out, he was speechless. Heidegger came from a scholarly family and had abided by the rules since childhood. He really couldn't figure out how the girls in the Sheng family, who came from a scholarly family, had had fornications one after another.

Now that she is also a member of the Sheng family, she naturally has to consider the reputation of the Sheng family.

According to her intention, she actually wanted to marry Ru Lan.

After all, Wen Yanjing is ranked among the top 13, and with the help of the Sheng family, his future will be good.

More importantly, this will not make things worse.

But after Mrs. Wang woke up, she disagreed with this matter.

Haishi knew that he could not persuade Mrs. Wang, so he came to the Sheng family and asked Hualan to go back and help persuade her.

In addition, I would also like to ask Yuan Wenshao to help find Yan Wenjing and stop him from talking nonsense.

After hearing this, Yuan Wenshao said, "Okay, then you go with Hua Lan first, and I'll go change my clothes and go find Yan Wenjing."

"Brother and sister, you go back first. I'll have a few words with the officials and I'll be there in a moment." Hua Lan said.

"Then please leave it to my eldest brother-in-law."

Haishi bowed and left with the maid.

"Officer, this Wen Yanjing has gone too far. Dad really misjudged him. Can you please take care of him?" Hua Lan said angrily.

"Madam, do you think he did it on purpose?" Yuan Wenshao asked in surprise.

Hualan said: "He is a scholar. He doesn't know how much impact this will have on a girl's family's reputation. Even so, he still did it. Who would believe that he didn't do it on purpose? My sister is just stupid, and she was given to him by him. Cheated."

Yuan Wenshao raised his eyebrows and felt dumb. Hua Lan's statement was actually not wrong.

When he was watching TV series in his previous life, he thought the two of them were in true love.

In fact, the reason why I feel this way is because I look at it from a modern perspective.

Whether in modern or ancient movies and TV dramas, a poor boy falling in love with a rich and beautiful woman is an enduring theme.

However, in ancient feudal society, people received strict ethics and ideological education, and this situation basically did not exist.

Even in later generations with emancipated minds, how many scenarios exist for a truly poor boy to marry a rich and beautiful woman?

It would be difficult for the two of them to have feelings just based on the three views they have developed from their childhood experiences.

If you look at the two people with the thinking of ancient people, you will find the problem.

In later generations, free love was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many people could not accept arranged marriages.

Many people find it strange to hear about arranged marriages.

But the so-called free love in ancient times was even stranger than the arranged marriages of later generations.

As a scholar who received ethical education since childhood, doesn't Wen Yanjing know this?

Not to mention it was because of feelings, how many times had he been in contact with Ru Lan? Can he give up the education he has received for many years?

There is a saying in later generations that is right, there is no such thing as love at first sight, it is all about lust.

Yuan Wenshao didn't believe in love at first sight.

If nothing else, people are good at pretending.

Just like a sloppy person, he tidies up when he goes out.

Because humans are social animals, they habitually hide their shortcomings and show their good sides.

Before you know the other person's personality and temperament, you will fall in love with them at the first sight. The only thing that attracts you about the other person is their appearance.

This 'color' is not just appearance, it can also be family background, etc.

People instinctively like beautiful things, and family background is a filter.

In Yuan Wenshao's view, the so-called love at first sight means that the person is either good-looking or rich and powerful.

Otherwise, why haven’t I seen anyone fall in love with an ugly girl or an ugly boy at first sight?

Isn’t it like this in novels, movies and TV shows? If you are good-looking, you will fall in love at first sight, while if you are ugly, you will slowly discover the inner beauty of the other person.

It can be seen that the so-called love at first sight is love at first sight.

Is Rulan beautiful?

It can only be said that it is, but it is not that amazing. What attracts Wen Yanjing is Ru Lan's family background.

Wen Yan worshiped Sheng Hong as his teacher, often went to the Sheng family, and knew the situation of the Sheng family relatively well.

The Sheng family is rich and powerful. It can be said that marrying Ru Lan will not only help him a lot in his future, but also support him financially.

"Then do you want me to threaten him to give up?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

Ru Lan is obviously the kind of fool who was deceived, and it is unrealistic to persuade her.

Only if Wen Yanjing gives up can Ru Lan give up.

"this…"

Hua Lan hesitated for a moment and said, "Teach him a lesson first and tell him not to talk nonsense. Let's see what my parents say for the rest."

She was not only angry but also a little disgusted by Wen Yanjing's behavior.

For your own future, it is normal to marry a wife who is helpful to your future.

Just like Sheng Hong asked Sheng Changbai to marry the Hai family, he was also interested in the Hai family's family background.

The same goes for her father marrying her mother.

If Wen Yanjing just came to propose marriage, it would be nothing.

But Wen Yanjing deceived her silly sister before proposing marriage.

From the bottom of her heart, Hualan didn't want her sister to marry such a person.

But she is married after all, and this matter ultimately depends on her parents' wishes.

"Okay, I understand." Yuan Wenshao said.

Dealing with Wen Yanjing is very simple, just find some local gangsters and beat him up.

Although he was named on the gold list, he was not awarded an official title after all. Strictly speaking, he was not an official.

As long as you do it cleanly, you won't have any trouble.

Moreover, as long as Wen Yanjing was not stupid, he could guess that it was the Sheng family who was instigating this, and he did not dare to go into details.

"Then I'll go there first," Hua Lan said.

"Well, go ahead. I'll pick you up at Sheng's house when I'm done." Yuan Wenshao said.

After Hua Lan left, Yuan Wenshao told Zhang An to arrange some people to clean up Wen Yanjing, and then went back to his room to change clothes.

…     Wen Yanjing was complained by the matchmaker when he came out of the Sheng family.

Normally, it is normal for a matchmaker to be rejected if she proposes marriage.

But she saw Wen Yanjing's clothes and knew that she was going to propose marriage. She asked Wen Yanjing if the girl's family had made arrangements in advance.

After all, she is just an ordinary matchmaker in Bianjing, and she cannot be a matchmaker for officials like the Sheng family.

Wen Yanjing repeatedly promised that it had been agreed and just asked her to go through the motions.

When the matchmaker heard this, she was extremely happy. If the marriage was successful, her qualifications would be improved a lot in the future, and the money she would receive from the matchmaker would be more.

In addition, she felt that Wen Yanjing was about to become the son-in-law of the Sheng family, so she paid Wen Yanjing a compliment along the way.

It turned out that everything Wen Yanjing said was a lie to her, and she was kicked out by the Sheng family after only a few words of conversation.

The matchmaker was angry and angry. Due to Wen Yanjing's identity, although she didn't dare to make any mocking remarks about the toad wanting to eat swan meat, she didn't give him a good look either.

Wen Yanjing knew that he was in the wrong, but he was worried that the matchmaker would go out and talk nonsense. Not only did he lose money, but he also gave the matchmaker all the gifts he bought for the proposal, so that the matchmaker could calm down and promise not to talk nonsense.

Speaking of this money, it was given by Lu Buqing.

Generally, if someone wants to catch a son-in-law, if the other party doesn't agree, they will give him some money.

Those who are captured as sons-in-law are all famous people on the list. Even if they don't agree, they can still form a good relationship with some money.

Lu Buqing was very generous and gave Wen Yanjing one thousand taels when he saw him off.

Otherwise, Wen Yanjing wouldn't even have the money to buy gifts.

Bianjing is prosperous and prosperous, but the expenses are also high.

He went to Beijing to take the exam and made friends with some scholars. It was inevitable that they would go to a restaurant together to have a drink or something.

If Sheng Hong had not given him some financial support before, he would not be able to stay in Bianjing any longer.

Although he is now on the list, he has not yet been awarded an official title, so he naturally has no money.

After sending the matchmaker away, Wen Yanjing returned to his rented house in a small alley in the east of the city.

The house he rented was called a public housing, which in later generations would be called a low-rent house.

There are more than 20,000 low-rent houses in Bianjing. Most of these houses are single rooms and are very cheap.

Correspondingly, the people living here are also very mixed, including scholars from all walks of life and Wen Yanjing.

Back in the dark room, Wen Yanjing closed the door and lay down on the bed.

Although Mrs. Wang was restrained today, she also said a lot of unpleasant things, which caused him great humiliation.

This also made him more determined to get ahead.

But to get ahead, marrying Ru Lan is the shortcut.

After thinking about it, Wen Yanjing fell asleep unconsciously.

It was already evening when I woke up again.

Wen Yanjing rubbed his hungry belly and prepared to go out for a meal.

Of the one thousand taels Lu Buqing gave him, in addition to the recent expenses of treating some scholars who were on the same list as him to dinner and buying gifts for the matchmaker today, he still had more than 800 taels in his hand.

In order not to be known by the Sheng family, although he did not move out of the low-rent house, he did not treat himself badly in terms of food.

I found a nice restaurant, ordered a few dishes and ordered a bottle of wine.

Wen Yanjing thought that since Ru Lan said she had a solution, she was not in a hurry.

Wen Yanjing's family was poor, so naturally he couldn't afford to drink, so his drinking capacity was average.

When he thought that if he married Ru Lan, others would either take a sinecure position or be sent out to serve as a county magistrate, but he might be able to enter the Hanlin Academy, he drank a few more drinks unconsciously.

By the time he left the restaurant, Wen Yanjing was already a little shaky.

"The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe, I can see the Chang'an flowers in one day."

When we walked to the alley near home, Wen Yanjing recited a poem happily.

At this moment, several people suddenly rushed out of the alley next to them. Before Wen Yanjing could see clearly, his head was covered with darkness, and a sack was placed directly on his head.

Just as Wen Yanjing was about to speak, he was kicked to the ground and then punched and kicked by a group of people.

Wen Yanjing couldn't say anything after being beaten, and could only curl up instinctively.

When he regained consciousness again, Wen Yanjing felt that the muddy water hurt, and there were many voices around him. He dragged his body and slowly groped to sit up, took off the sack on his head, and saw a lot of People were pointing at him.

"Whatever you are looking at, get out of here!" Wen Yanjing yelled.

The onlookers were all people living nearby. They didn't want to cause trouble, so they dispersed after being yelled at by Wen Yanjing.

"Sigh~"

Just as Wen Yanjing was about to get up, he felt a heartbreaking pain and couldn't help but take a breath of air.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.

"Called...Zhongyonghou?"

Wen Yanjing thought someone was watching his joke again, and just when he was about to turn around and scold him, he looked up and saw Yuan Wenshao walking over.

Yuan Wenshao smiled and said: "Brother Wen, how did you do this?"

"Did you do it?" Wen Yanjing asked.

Wen Yanjing was able to pass the imperial examination, so he was certainly not a fool. He was stunned before and had no time to think about it.

But now Yuan Wenshao appears here, and he is still laughing when he sees him like this. If he still can't react, he is stupid.

Yuan Wenshao's face turned cold when he heard this, he paused, looked at Wen Yanjing and said, "You are a scholar. You should know that trouble comes from your mouth. Some things should not be said carelessly."

"you…"

Wen Yanjing's face suddenly changed, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Although he is said to be more noble than military, Yuan Wenshao is a marquis and a second-grade military general, and there are only a handful of civil servants who can really outdo him.

"Looking at you, you should understand what I'm talking about. Remember my words."

After Yuan Wenshao finished speaking, he stood up and turned around to leave.

"hateful!"

Wen Yan's eyes were filled with anger, but there was nothing he could do against Yuan Wenshao.

After a long time, Wen Yanjing climbed up holding on to the wall and walked out of the alley.

If you're injured like this, you need to see a doctor first. As for revenge, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

After leaving the alley, there were more and more people on the street. Wen Yanjing ignored the surprised looks of passers-by and walked to a medical clinic he knew.

By the time we came out of the hospital, it was completely dark.

Wen Yanjing limped toward the public housing while carrying the drink.

"Xu~"

A carriage stopped next to Wen Yanjing. The driver jumped out and cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Wen, my master has invited you."

"Who is your master?"

At first, Wen Yanjing thought it was Yuan Wenshao who sent someone here again. Seeing that the other party was so polite, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked a little warily.

"My master is..." The coachman quietly announced his identity as the owner.

Wen Yanjing's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he didn't believe it: "How do I know whether what you said is true or false?"

"Master Wen, please take a look."

The coachman pointed to the clan emblem engraved on the carriage and said, "No one in Bianjing would dare to pretend to be one."

After hearing this, Wen Yanjing hesitated slightly and got into the carriage.

"Master Wen, sit down."

The coachman warned, set up the carriage, turned around, and disappeared into the night.
