Chapter 307 A drink and a peck

At this moment, this situation.

Wen Yanjing only felt that he was like the poor scholar in the play. Even though he was well-educated and knowledgeable, he had to bow his head under the oppression of the powerful in the end, swallowing his pain secretly and grieving alone.

Then, don’t despise the poor young people…

I wanted to give up and leave, and find another way, but who would have thought that this "Ma Wencai" would dare to offend me?

Grandma can tolerate it, but grandpa definitely can’t!

Even a clay figure has a temper!
As a result, Wen Yanjing no longer cared about how he should deal with himself in the future, and only asked decisively:

"Who is the woman you just met?"

"woman?"

Wen Yanjing stared at Yang Wenyuan's face, hoping to see the embarrassment of having his scandal exposed in front of him, but what he saw was that "Ma Wencai" did not look panicked at all. Instead, he chuckled nonchalantly.

? ?
Are you going to deny it till death?

Or is it that "a gentleman deceives others with his own methods" and is sure that he dare not spread the word?

Wen Yanjing was extremely angry and secretly clenched his teeth, but when he saw that Yang Wenyuan looked unmoved, he could no longer hold it in.

He immediately snorted at Yang Wenyuan and said:

"I saw all the mean things you did just now. How dare you sneak into the Sheng Mansion and have an affair with the fourth daughter of the Sheng family!"

Yang Wenyuan was about to reply, "How can talking to each other be considered as having an affair?", but when he heard Wen Yanjing's last sentence, his heart suddenly paused.

Hmm? Fourth girl?
Isn’t it the fifth girl?

Seeing that Wen Yanjing was still aggressive and looked like someone whose love was taken away by someone, Yang Wenyuan immediately realized what was going on.

"So you can't even recognize faces now!"

"Brother Wen, what you said is wrong!"

"You still dare to quibble!" Wen Yanjing glared.

"Brother Wen really misunderstood!"

Yang Wenyuan showed an aggrieved expression on his face after being wronged, and then he took a few steps, walked to the side of Wen Yanjing, and explained in a low voice:
"Brother Wen, you've got the wrong person! I have absolutely no intention of taking away someone's favorite thing. That was not the Fourth Miss just now. It was... it was..."

Yang Wenyuan muttered that there were no servants, but Wen Yanjing's face became brighter. In the end, he could only say:
"Anyway, it's either the Fourth Young Lady or not!"

Wen Yanjing's face was filled with surprise at having recovered what he had lost.

"Brother Ma, are you serious? Is she really not the Fourth Miss?"

Yang Wenyuan nodded firmly.

"really!"

"You never made fun of me?"

"That's not what I meant!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Wen Yanjing heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that it was his future brother-in-law and not a competitor.

Wen Yanjing's mind suddenly cleared up, and he suddenly recalled that he had behaved a little inappropriately just now. He immediately bowed to Yang Wenyuan with a guilty look on his face and said:

"I was reckless just now, I hope Brother Ma can forgive me."

"No, no, Brother Wen is also worried about it, so it's inevitable that there are some unpreparedness."

Yang Wenyuan waved his hands generously, indicating that he didn't care, and Wen Yanjing's expression also relaxed.

Unexpectedly, just as Wen Yanjing relaxed, he suddenly heard Yang Wenyuan ask:

"But Brother Wen, how did you find this place..."

"..."

Wen Yanjing's face was embarrassed. It was hard for him to explain why he came here.

However, when he turned around and saw Yang Wenyuan's teasing expression, he was alerted and replied cleverly:

"I am no different from you, Brother Ma!"

It's the same behavior. The eldest brother doesn't say anything about the second brother. Those who understand will understand!
It’s just that I came through the main gate and you just climbed over the wall!

"Oh?"

Yang Wenyuan looked surprised and asked:
"Brother Wen, are you here for something too?"

Huh? Are you still pretending?
But since Ma Wencai wanted to act to keep his face decent, Wen Yanjing had no objection. He immediately showed indifference and nodded slightly:

"Exactly!"

"What a coincidence!"

Yang Wenyuan nodded when he heard this and smiled back at Wen Yan.

Wen Yanjing also responded with a "knowing" smile:

Wen Yanjing: Why are you pretending, you rude and unscrupulous man who steals people!
Yang Wenyuan: What a scumbag who is good at adapting to circumstances!

Since he had already found out that this man was his future brother-in-law, and had already "privately communicated" with the daughter of the Sheng family, he was several steps ahead of himself. Fortunately, he was not his "beloved" Fourth Miss. Although Wen Yanjing felt ashamed in his heart, he thought about his current position and it was not easy for him to judge others from the moral high ground.

So after some polite exchanges, Wen Yanjing prepared to go back.

But what Wen Yanjing didn't expect was that when he turned around and walked back, he saw Yang Wenyuan also following him.

"Ok?"

Wen Yanjing stopped and looked at Yang Wenyuan with a questioning look on his face.

Seeing that he was unmoved, she considerately turned her head and pointed to the courtyard wall not far away.

Brother, go back the way you came!
What do you want to do with me?
Yang Wenyuan naturally didn't understand Wen Yanjing's winking and seeing Wen Yanjing suddenly stop, he asked:

"Brother Wen, why don't you leave quickly? If it's too late, someone might come looking for you."

After dealing with Rulan's troubles and successfully getting Wen Yanjing to focus on Molan, Yang Wenyuan still had the leisure to provide him with some after-sales tips.

I know I'm leaving, but why are you following me?
During this time, Wen Yanjing glanced at the courtyard wall next to him a few times, trying to remind Ma Wencai, but seeing that he still did not move, he felt discouraged and wanted to remind him directly, so as to avoid Ma Wencai being caught and his reputation being implicated.

But before he could open his mouth, Chang Feng's questioning voice suddenly came from the side:
"Brother Wen, why are you here? I came to look for you right after I changed my clothes, but I waited for a long time in Qiming Pavilion, but I didn't see anyone. Only the servant who went to get toilet paper showed up. Why are you here?"

Wen Yanjing didn't expect that Chang Feng didn't ask "Ma Wencai" first, but he was the first to be asked. He forced a smile on his face and replied:

"I only had a short-lived stomachache and then it healed. I wanted to go find the butler, but after I left the hospital, I couldn't catch up and ended up getting confused."

Chang Feng looked suspicious.

Can you chase someone and get yourself lost?
If you don’t know, you might think my house is some kind of powerful mansion! “That’s what Brother Wen said.”

Just when Wen Yanjing was secretly cursing Ma Wencai for causing trouble, saying that not only was he not smart enough to escape, but he was also the one who caused him to be trapped by his master, he saw "Ma Wencai" suddenly step forward and say:
"I just happened to meet him at the gate of the courtyard, so I just led him here."

"Oh, I see!"

Chang Feng nodded, without any doubt on his face, and then smiled and invited Wen Yanjing to continue to discuss literature and philosophy in Qiming Pavilion.

"This... is this okay?"

Wen Yanjing, who was standing by, was stunned. Regardless of why Ma Wencai wanted to help him, he only had one thing to say...

Ma Wencai was walking in the backyard of your house, without any servants or maids following him. Do you believe what he said? Why don't you interrogate him in detail?

Wen Yanjing looked at Yang Wenyuan, who looked normal, and thought to himself:
"Could it be that it was not a private transaction, but that the two families are old friends, and they have been childhood sweethearts?"

Wen Yanjing thought again, the Sheng family rose from humble beginnings, and the old lady of the Sheng family was of military origin, so it is very likely that she is related to the family of Ma Wencai, who was also of military origin.

Apart from this, Wen Yanjing couldn't think of any other reason.

"Brother Wencai, why don't we come together?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Wen Yanjing felt that he had understood the whole process, and then he felt a little uneasy, thinking that Yang Wenyuan had something on him.

I have ulterior motives, but he is upright!

Therefore, Wen Yanjing invited Yang Wenyuan and decided to give "Ma Wencai" some extra lessons!

Judging from the fact that Ma Wencai never talked about his real talents and knowledge when he was giving lectures in Qiming Pavilion, but only boasted about it when he was speaking, it can be seen that Ma Wencai's talents and knowledge must be not good, so he did not dare to show his weakness in front of him, so he could only flatter and shirk responsibility with nice words.

After that, I didn’t even dare to come.

Wen Yanjing was quite confident in his knowledge, otherwise he would not have caught Sheng Hong's eye.

Therefore, Wen Yanjing regarded the current invitation as a reward to "Ma Wencai".

I can’t say that I’m a famous scholar or a distinguished friend, but I’m more than qualified to give you tutoring!
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Wen, but I have something else to do, so I'll have to excuse myself for now!"

Yang Wenyuan naturally refused.

Now that things have been almost resolved, why should I still act as a supporting actor?

Retreat quickly!
After saying that, Yang Wenyuan smiled, bowed to Wen Yanjing, and left with his sleeves fluttering.

Yang Wenyuan: Such considerate and thoughtful after-sales service!
Looking at the back of "Ma Wencai" pretending to be cool and casual, Wen Yanjing shook his head secretly in his heart:

"Brother Ma is a good person, but he is a little thin-skinned, not ambitious, and unwilling to listen to famous teachers' lectures."

……

Yang Wenyuan waved his sleeves, leaving not a single cloud behind.

But the misunderstanding he left in Wen Yanjing's heart was indeed deep.

As he became closer to the Sheng family, Wen Yanjing understood more and more about the situations of the three unmarried girls in the family.

There are only three girls in the Sheng family at the moment.

The fourth daughter was born out of wedlock, the fifth daughter was born out of wedlock but was raised by Old Madam Sheng.

They are all of marriageable age.

The fourth girl among them is the daughter that Master Sheng Hongsheng, the master, wants to see.

Unfortunately, the marriage is stuck with the fourth girl and is not making any progress.

Wen Yanjing also thought about seeking other ways out - such as seeing if the other two girls had any chances.

But just as this result was planned, it was blocked by "Ma Wencai".

No matter whether it is the fifth or sixth girl that Ma Wencai is in love with, he has no chance with the remaining one.

There is no need to talk about the fifth girl.

The eldest lady of the Sheng family is a legitimate child. Her maternal grandfather is the old Tai Shi Wang who is enshrined in the imperial temple. She also has a legitimate brother who is a Shujishi and a legitimate sister who is the wife of Pingyang Hou.
What a noble identity this is.

Not to mention that he was not qualified, even if all the scholars currently staying in Bianliang City were counted, there would be only a few who could match him.

Unless she is a young girl who knows nothing about the world...

But the possibility is too low and unrealistic, so he doesn't dare to fiddle with it.

Moreover, when he was wandering around the backyard of the Sheng family before, he was caught by Ma Wencai. Now Wen Yanjing didn't dare to act recklessly anymore.

It's understandable if it happens once, but it's hard to shirk responsibility if it happens twice.

There is no hope for the remaining six girls either.

Although she was born out of wedlock like the Fourth Young Lady, she was raised by Old Madam Sheng, the only daughter of the former Marquis of Yongyi. Her horizons must be very high, no different from those of a noble lady from a famous family.

Besides, there are rumors that she has some connection with Young Master Qi...

Who is Young Master Qi? !
He is the only son of the Duke of Qi and also the son-in-law of Prince Yong!
Wen Yanjing is very self-aware and follows his heart.

He knew that this Sixth Girl was someone he couldn't get involved with.

So in the end, Wen Yanjing finally found that he still had to fight to the death with the Fourth Girl!
Just one final step left!

As a result, Wen Yanjing became more attentive when visiting Sheng's residence, fearing that he might encounter the scenario he had imagined that day.

You can have one but not two!
The bright road was just around the corner, and Wen Yanjing no longer cared about the character of a scholar.

How much is character worth? Career is what matters!
Seeing that Wen Yanjing's offensive was becoming more and more fierce, and Sheng Hong's attitude gradually hardened because of Lin Qige's evasiveness, Lin Qinshuang understood that if she and Mo'er didn't find a way to deal with it, Molan would really have to marry into the poor Wen family and suffer for the rest of her life!

Lin Qinshuang has known for a long time that Minglan has been going to Yuqing Temple these days, saying that she was going to burn incense, but Lin Qinshuang doesn't believe it at all!
He went to Yuqing Temple to burn incense neither early nor late, but he just received a reward from Madam Wu's mansion a few days ago. Now he goes to burn incense so diligently. If he doesn't have something to hide, what is he thinking?
Lin Qinshuang immediately sent Xuenniang to ask the maid in Minglan's room, and sure enough, she got the news immediately.

It is said that Mrs. Wu saw Minglan going to Yuqing Temple frequently, and as Mrs. Wu liked to worship Buddha and burn incense, she invited her to go to Yuqing Temple to burn incense together on the fifteenth day of this month.

"Well, it turns out that this sixth girl is the most scheming!"

Lin Qinshuang got to know the news and was extremely angry:
"She said that she didn't care about power, but she said one thing and did another. When she saw that Madam Wu was interested in her, she immediately responded to her wishes and went to serve her happily!"

After saying that, Lin Qinshuang's eyes narrowed, and she turned to look at Mo Lan, who was also panicking, and said in a firm tone:
"Mo'er, you are now in a situation where you are faced with wolves in front and tigers behind. For now, you have no choice but to sacrifice your reputation and fight ruthlessly!"

Cook rice from raw rice!

As long as the matter is done, even if the Liang family wants to deny it, they have to consider the Sheng family, especially the face of the Yang family. Otherwise, if the reputation of the girl from the Sheng family is damaged, the Yang family will not end up well.

Everyone has to work together to cover this lid!
This was a situation that Yang Wen had never anticipated.

He originally just wanted Minglan to try her luck at Yuqing Temple, but now, by chance, he asked Minglan to go to Yuqing Temple to burn incense, which became the cause of this incident.

If he knew how things were going to develop, Yang Wenyuan would probably sigh -

In life, every sip and bite is determined by fate!
