Chapter 87 The play in the script appears in the real world

All the students in the private school passed the exam.

In order to celebrate, Master Zhuang allowed himself another three days off. He took the Suhexiang wine presented by Yang Wenyuan and hurried back to the courtyard to drink it by himself.

Three days later, Sheng's private school resumed classes.

Everyone began to devote themselves to study.

Prepare for the college entrance examination in August in the second half of this year.

It is also called the scholar test, and can also be elegantly called the "Sun Xiucai test".

One day, after Zhuang Xuejiu finished his class and left, Changbai's followers hurried into the classroom.

"Sir, a letter has arrived from White Deer Academy."

Changbai met Gu Tingye when he was in Yangzhou.

The two of them somehow fell in love with each other, and felt like they had met too late, and they exchanged letters very frequently.

I often have to send a letter to each other every ten days or half a month.

If conditions do not allow it.

I'm afraid the two of them will have to talk on the phone for a long time at night.

Not long ago, both of them mentioned in a letter that they would take part in the provincial examination, and they agreed that regardless of whether they passed or not, they would send a letter after the examination to inform each other of the good news.

Counting the days, it should be the time when Gu Tingye's letter arrives.

Changbai's face lit up.

He quickly stood up, took the letter from the servant's hand and opened it hastily.

After a moment, Changbai laughed heartily:

"Yes, Zhong Huai also got it!"

He looked so excited, and seemed happier than when he was on the list.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Changbai's performance at this moment as full of gay love.

No wonder many people in later generations joked that Gu Tingye recognized the wrong person when he came to propose marriage, and should have chosen "Sheng Bailan"!

Everyone followed suit and cheered.

Among them, the long maple is the best.

Chang Feng can never forget Gu Tingye, the big money sponsor when he was in Yangzhou.

Although he has Rong Xian now, Gu Tingye still occupies a place in his heart.

Qi Heng didn't say anything.

Princess Pingning comes from the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, and tracing back to her roots, she is actually a descendant of the Gu family.

Even in terms of seniority, Princess Pingning and Gu Tingye are of the same generation.

Therefore, Qi Heng called Gu Tingye "Second Uncle Gu".

However, although the two families are somewhat related, Qi Heng is not familiar with Gu Tingye.

The reason, of course, was that Princess Pingning stopped them.

She was afraid that Gu Tingye, a playboy with a bad reputation since childhood, would lead her son astray.

Therefore, similar to the rejection from Yang Wenyuan before, Gu Tingye suffered this for almost ten years.

It can be said that you can eat as much as you want.

So Qi Heng was naturally not familiar with Gu Tingye, and he didn't have any special feelings about the fact that this second uncle, whom he seldom met, was also on the list.

When Yang Wenyuan heard the letter from Gu Tingye saying that he had passed the provincial examination, his first reaction was not joy, but shock.

After all, we wandered around Bian Jing together and visited Guangyuntai together.

You actually gave your first letter to Changbai?

It's faded, the feelings have faded!

Yang Wenyuan only hoped that he would be able to see the letter sent by Gu Tingye when he returned home.

Otherwise, I would have endured the embarrassment to help you support Wei Xingshou in order to accept your invitation. Wouldn't all my hard work be in vain? !
Yang Wenyuan packed up and went home.

After entering the Marquis' Mansion, he received the envelope handed to him by the doorman.

It was sent by Gu Tingye from Bailu Academy.

Still having some conscience, Yang Wenyuan took the letter with relief, completely forgetting the fact that he had never sent a letter to Gu Tingye.

Yang Wenyuan opened the envelope and read it in the corridor of the mansion garden.

As soon as the letter was opened, it began with a round of greetings.

Then there was a lot of boasting. Gu Tingye said that he had passed the provincial examination, and Yang Wenyuan was a student of Zhuang Xuejiu, so he would not have failed, right?
Even through the letter, Yang Wenyuan seemed to be able to see the smug look on Gu Tingye's face when he wrote this sentence not long ago.

Yang Wenyuan felt his fist itchy for no reason.

Continuing to read, the letter reads:
"I heard that you've recently gotten engaged to Changbai's sister? As expected, I said that when I first saw you like that, I knew you had no good intentions. Today, the truth is revealed!"

Yang Wenyuan looked at the handwriting on the letter and couldn't help but laugh.

"If I hadn't cooperated with you that day, it wouldn't be so easy for you to achieve your wish now. Remember this, you owe me a big favor!"

Yang Wenyuan nodded.

Not only you, I also want to thank Yuan Wenchun and his wife and his wife.

The letter went on to say: "Although you are getting married, I am not a bad brother either!"

"A few days ago, I went to the theater with the students of the academy to celebrate passing the provincial examination. When we were drunk, we met a young girl wearing wide sleeves and playing. Although she was wearing coarse and old clothes, she danced gracefully and sang with a light voice, which was very eye-catching.

There happened to be a few young men watching and making a fuss. You know me, I hate to see such dirty things, so I spoke up for her and protected her.

But when I got closer, I realized she looked very familiar. I then realized that she was the girl I had helped in Bianjing before!"

Yang Wenyuan couldn't help but frowned when he saw this.

What a strong sense of déjà vu!

A hero saves a beauty, and then...

"You never thought that there would be such a fate in such a big world!
After asking her in detail, I found out that her brother had died and her family was in financial difficulty. They could not survive in Bian Jing, so they had to sing all the way back to their hometown to make a living. She had just arrived at Bai Lu Dong a few days ago and was thinking of going to the theater to raise some money for the journey home.

You know me, I see she is pitiful...

It’s definitely not for beauty!

Seeing that she was too weak to take care of herself, I helped her a little.

Although she is not outstanding in appearance, she has a natural purity, fragility and pitifulness.

After a long time, I became a good friend of her.

When we parted in Yangzhou, you asked me to tell you something happy. Now, I am taking this opportunity to tell you something and make you happy."

The letter ends here.

Yang Wenyuan felt something was strange after reading the letter. It took him a while to realize that Gu Tingye did not mention Wei Xingshou at all in the entire letter.

Wow, it turns out you have a new love and have forgotten the old one!
It’s a waste of my reputation because of you!

but……

Yang Wenyuan immediately showed hesitation.

Could this woman be Man Niang?

After such a long time, and Yang Wenyuan did not watch the drama very carefully, he could no longer remember Man Niang's specific identity, so he asked Gu Tingye to inform him as soon as he had any news.

However, Yang Wenyuan still remembers some details.

He remembered that in the original drama, Man Niang was not from a respectable family, so Gu Tingye even went to ask Xiao Qinshi to agree to let Man Niang become a concubine.

So Man Niang must have made a living in places like theaters and brothels.

And they met each other at Bailu Academy!

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Although he thought so in his heart, Yang Wenyuan was already certain that the woman was most likely Man Niang.

This scene is exactly like a play in a script.

The heroine was teased by a rich young man, and then the protagonist stood up, beat the playboy away and won the heroine's favor.

Then the protagonist saw that the woman was weak and unable to take care of herself, so he helped her.

After a while, the spark of love was created...

Gu Tingye was not welcome in the Gu family and had been ostracized since childhood.

That's why he felt pity and love for Man Niang, who was also in a disadvantaged position.

There is both a feeling of sympathy and Gu Tingye's inner desire to be needed by others and to prove his own existence.

Coupled with the fact that this was most likely a planned "fateful meeting" or "god-given marriage", Gu Tingye was naturally deeply involved in it.

Yang Wenyuan looked at the letter in his hand, with a deep look in his eyes.

When we were in Yangzhou, I owed you a big favor.

Now is the time to reciprocate!
