Wen Jianning pondered for a long time, took out a stack of manuscript paper and wrote a title on it:

"Continuing the Biography of the Lady of the Kingdom".

"The Biography of the Lady of the Wangguo" is a legend written by the Tang dynasty Bai Xingjian, also known as "The Biography of Li Wa", which is written about the famous prostitute Li Wa who met Zheng Sheng, the son of Xingyang, in Chang'an, and the two finally got married after some twists and turns. Li Wa was later named Mrs. Wangguo, and her four sons became big officials, and she also intermarried with the Wang family, and the family prospered.

The ending of the Tang legend was originally very satisfying here, and the lovers eventually became married, and the blessings extended to the children and grandchildren.

However, a legend is only a legend after all.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty pursued the practice of not marrying, and the view of the family was far more deep-rooted than it is now.

With Li Wa's background as a prostitute, even if she was kind to Zheng Sheng and respected by the world, but if you change the story to reality, can everyone really accept her without any guilt?

One only needs to look at Meng Li's situation to know the conclusion.

Although, Wen Jianning now writes it himself, knowing that fiction and reality cannot be confused. But that doesn't stop her from writing a story from another angle.

She continued from the ending of "The Legend of Li Wa", and Li Wa and Zheng Sheng at the beginning have been married for nearly 20 years. Although the legends of the past are occasionally mentioned, they have long since faded under the wear and tear of the years. The vigorous love rolled in the wind and dust, and finally fell into the trivial world.

However, in the blink of an eye, the eldest son of Li Wa and Zheng Sheng has reached the age of marriage, and the two intended to marry the daughter of the Cui clan for him, but they did not think about it but were politely rejected by the other party. After several successive courtships, they repeatedly hit a wall. The couple was deeply puzzled, and inquired about the reason in private, only to find out that it was because these big families actually had a bad reputation because Li Wa had been a prostitute in the past, and they didn't want their daughter to be involved with such a family.

Only then did they know that even if Li Wa had been named Mrs. Wangguo, even if many years had passed, the prejudices of the world were still deeply rooted in their minds.

The two were working hard for their son's marriage, and at this time, the eldest son fell in love with another dusty woman and turned against the family. After several twists and turns, the couple gradually became disliked, and by the end of the story, the two were already in the same bed and dreaming. At the end, Li Wa turned over, looking at the heavy night rain outside the window, her thoughts gradually became confused, and she was still thinking about waiting for Tianming to discuss with her eldest son.

The ending of this story is not clear, just as Wen Jianning himself does not know what kind of answer to give.

She just expressed Wen Baiqing's current predicament in a different way, as for what the other party would think and react to when they saw it, Wen Jianning couldn't be sure, she couldn't even be sure whether it was right or wrong for her to persuade people in this way.

But she can only help Wen Baiqing get here.

After Wen Jianning sealed the envelope, he nestled in the quilt and fell asleep.

...

only sent a letter to Wen Baiqing, and Wen Jianning began to count the days of replying to the letter.

In the past, when Wen Baiqing was studying at the military academy in Guangzhou, he would wait for ten days and half a month to hear back at least once and again. Now he often carries out important tasks in the mainland somewhere, but he is afraid that there will be no news in a short time.

But she can afford to wait, and can Miss Liao wait?

Wen Jianning was a little worried.

But just as she guessed, Wen Baiqing never replied. Wen Jianning only felt that the situation was not optimistic, but he couldn't write to urge him to ask, so he could only wait for Wen Baiqing to think about it.

This year's summer seems to be extraordinarily long, with time passing day by day.

During this period, big and small things happened at home and abroad.

Although Hong Kong is also not calm, it is a rare shelter in the surrounding storms. Although there is no shortage of enthusiastic students in the school who are dedicated to serving the country, compared with those students in the mainland who march on the streets from time to time, at least this small Hong Kong island can still put a stable desk.

After school that evening, Wen Jianning was the last to walk out of the classroom with a book in his arms.

Zhong Hui They have club activities today, but I am afraid that the meeting will not be over for a while, so she stayed in the classroom alone and slowly finished packing up her books and cleaning, and then walked along the boulevard to the school gate alone.

Hong Kong has warm seasons, and this season is particularly hot and rainy, making the island's vegetation particularly lush. The shadow trees on both sides of the road are so tall that they seem to rise into the clouds, and the wildsparks in the canopy of the trees are like burning clouds, reflecting the blue sky.

In Wen Jianning's impression, the wildparks of previous years have never bloomed so well as this year, warm, sincere and pure, as if they are going to use all their strength to burn this last peaceful summer.

Someone under the tree at the end of the front waved at her and shouted, "See Ning!"

Wen Jianning trotted all the way to the other party, and only after standing still did he ask: "Didn't you go to the club with Jiang Xuwen, why did you come over so quickly, and you are the only one." ”

Zhong Hui said with a relaxed expression: "It's just a change of the club, I'm just an officer, and I slipped away first when I felt bored." He is the president, so naturally he has to stay and say a few words. ”

She kept her hands behind her back as she spoke, as if she was hiding something.

Wen Jianning pretended not to find anything, walked next to Zhong Hui with a book, and talked to her about today's homework.

Zhong Hui waited left and right and didn't see Wen Jianning open his mouth to ask, and finally couldn't help but clear his throat: "Jianning, I have something to give you." Would you like to take a guess first?"

Wen Jianning lowered his head and pretended to be contemplative: "Is it a delicious dim sum, or is it a poetry book I wanted to buy before?"

"Neither. ”

Zhong Hui took out a brown paper bag from behind him and handed it to Wen Jianning with both hands with a smile.

After Wen Jianning opened it, he took out a few pieces of paper from it and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly froze.

The paper bag contains the admissions papers of various well-known universities in the mainland in recent years, and all subjects are available, which is very complete.

She suddenly looked up at Zhong Hui in surprise, she didn't know what to say for a while, she knew very well how precious this information was nowadays. Zhong Hui didn't know how much thought it took to collect such a complete set of information in such a short period of time.

Zhong Hui said with a smile: "You didn't say that you want to be admitted to a mainland university in the future, I asked my family to help find the examination papers of domestic universities in recent years, although they are not even, but it is always useful for you to take a look first." ”

Wen Jianning hugged the brown paper bag tightly and said movingly: "Zhong Hui, thank you." ”

Last time, she just said a casual word to Zhong Hui, but she didn't expect Zhong Hui to take it to heart.

"What are you polite to me, we are going north together in the future," Zhong Hui first waved his hand modestly, and then thought of something, folded his hands and made a serious request to Wen Jianning, "Moreover, maybe by this time next year, I will ask you, the number one, to help me and Jiang Xuwen make up for the lesson." ”

Wen Jianning smiled: "This bag is on me." ”

The two friends talked and laughed all the way, walked side by side through the long boulevard, and saw the school gate.

Wen Jianning was about to say something, when he turned his head and saw a car parked under the shadow tree at the school gate, and an old man wearing a sauce-red swastika tuanfu gown stood next to him. He was looking around with the driver in a suit next to him, and when he saw Wen Jianning, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

Zhong Hui found that Wen Jianning's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and hurriedly pulled her sleeve and asked with a wink.

Wen Jianning exhaled slowly, and reluctantly smiled at her: "It's okay, it's my aunt's friend." You go first, I probably won't be able to join you today. ”

Although Zhong Hui didn't worry about her, Wen Jianning repeatedly shook her head and said that it was okay, and she could only leave first.

After seeing her leave, Wen Jianning took a deep breath, walked to Master Qian, who was standing next to the car, and asked politely, "Hello, may I ask if my aunt has anything to do with me?"

Wen Jianning had a very bad impression of Master Qian.

Not to mention that he and Wen Jingshu had some tugging in private, this person also said inconsistencies to Jianwan at Jianwan's coming-of-age ceremony, and even entangled him later. Fortunately, Jianwan quickly established a relationship with Lu Jiajun, and this old man's behavior was slightly restrained.

Master Qian's gaze slid over Wen Jianning's face and neck inch by inch, and then he smiled: "Miss Jianning, I don't remember, there is a dinner party held by Sir Yan today." Mrs. Wen was afraid that you would forget, so she specially asked someone to pick you up and Miss Jianxiu. ”

When he mentioned this, Wen Jianning vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

It's just that she didn't take this matter to heart at all, and forgot about it in a blink of an eye, and she didn't expect Wen Jingshu to let Master Qian come outside the school and pick her up and see her in public. What the hell was her good aunt thinking?

During the conversation between the two, many students from Nanying Middle School walked past them in pairs. Although Wen Jianning deliberately stood far away, and the age difference between the two was still so big, it still attracted many people's strange eyes.

She was slightly annoyed in her heart, and there was no smile on her face.

Wen Jianning has never been good at hiding his emotions, and he was somewhat seen by Master Qian.

He has always been used to being flattered, even Wen Jingshu and the others will not easily give him a look, and today when he saw Wen Jianning such a little girl daring to put on a face, he was immediately a little unhappy. He was about to reprimand a few words as an elder, when he caught a glimpse of someone coming this way, and when he raised his head, he turned his anger into joy: "Miss Xiu, you can be regarded as coming out." ”

The person who came was indeed embroidered.

She smiled with the female classmate next to her and waved goodbye, first glanced at Wen Jianning next to her, and then smiled at Master Qian Yan Yan, "Why did you come here today?"

Master Qian naturally repeated what Fang Cai and Wen Jianning had said.

Seeing Xiu heard this, he smiled and said, "Aunt is really, how can I let you come to pick us up in person, it's too troublesome for you." ”

Master Qian smiled and said, "It is my honor to be able to come to meet Miss Xiu and go to the banquet together." ”

He took the initiative to open the car door for Jianxiu, and Jianxiu was not polite, so he naturally sat in.

Wen Jianning's hand hanging down his side clenched into a fist, and finally followed silently into the car.

When they got to the car, the two of them talked very harmoniously. Wen Jianning only felt that their laughter was particularly harsh, so he simply turned his head to look out of the car window.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for them to return to the mid-level villa, change their dresses and drive to the banquet again. When they arrived at the Yan Mansion, there were already fragrant clothes and sideburns outside the door, and there was a lot of traffic.

The courtyard is brightly lit, and the fountain in the middle of the lawn is even brighter in the light. People who knew each other had already started talking with champagne in twos and threes, and Wen Jingshu and them were among them. finally followed Wen Jingshu one by one to meet the big people they met, and the girls were finally let go to dance with the young people.

Wen Jianning was not interested in these things, and just wanted to find a corner to stay until the end of the dinner, but when he turned around, he just happened to meet an acquaintance.

Chen Hongwang raised his glass and saluted: "Miss Wen San, long time no see." ”

Wen Jianning smiled politely at him: "Hello Mr. Chen." ”

The two simply said hello and staggered past.

It's just that after Wen Jianning walked out of a distance, she could vaguely feel that there seemed to be someone watching her behind her. When I turned around again, I only saw a swaying figure and Chen Hongwang who was chatting and laughing with a few ladies.

Maybe it's an illusion.

She shook her head, came to her senses, and walked into the corner alone.

Wen Jianning originally planned to avoid the crowd quietly as usual, standing in the corner and waiting for the dinner to end. However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and after a while, Mr. Qian, who was already a little drunk, walked towards her.

Seeing him like this, Wen saw that Ning suddenly knew that it was not good, and hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it. However, when the other party is close to her, she dodges to the left, and the other party is on the left, and she goes to the right, and the other person moves to the right to block the way.

Seeing that there was no way out left and right, Wen Jianning could only raise his head, ready to see what this old beast planned to do.

Master Qian had suffered from Wen Jianning's cold face before, and although he was later relieved a lot by Jianxiu's gentle words, he was still faintly uncomfortable in his heart. After just a few glasses of wine, and then being complimented, this will make me want to come to Wen Jianning here to regain face.

His face was slightly drunk, his eyes narrowed and looked Wen Jianning up and down, and he smiled with satisfaction: "At Miss Jianwan's coming-of-age ceremony back then, Miss Jianning was still young, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, she would be so slim. If Qian is not mistaken, Miss Jianning is also going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony this year, and there is a good wine in my winery in Guangdong, and when the time comes, I will definitely have someone send it to celebrate Miss Jianning's good life. ”

"Don't bother," Wen Jianning barely controlled the expression on his face, so that he would not appear too out of shape in this kind of public occasion, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll miss it first." ”

She turned around and was about to leave, but someone grabbed her wrist from behind.

Wen Jianning turned his head suddenly, his black and white apricot kernel eyes were full of anger, as if he would erupt in the next moment.

Master Qian didn't care, and his tone was still shy: "Why do you want to pretend to be high like this when you see Miss Ning, Qian has no other meaning today, how can I say that I am also your aunt's friend, it is not an exaggeration to ask you to dance." As he spoke, his hand gently twisted along Wen Jianning's wrist.

Wen Jianning only felt a burst of nausea, shook it off vigorously, and took two or three steps back before suddenly realizing that someone was looking at it. She turned her head to look and saw Yan Tingchen in a white suit standing not far away, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Since the last unhappy parting, Yan Tingchen has not been to the Mid-Levels Villa for a while. During this period, he went to the school to look for Wen Jianning several times, but she pulled Zhong Hui to avoid him, and the two never saw each other since. Today's party is the home of the Yan family, and it is not surprising that he will appear here.

Master Qian followed her line of sight and looked at Yan Tingchen, and couldn't help but sneer: "What's the matter, I see that Miss Ning has a sweetheart?"

In the light and shadow, Yan Tingchen stood in the crowd without moving, as if waiting for Wen Jianning to ask for help.

Wen Jianning sneered in his heart, and his anger became worse, and he immediately turned his head and strode out.

As soon as she walked up regardless of it, Master Qian realized that this little girl's strength was far greater than he imagined. She, a girl who looked a little delicate, was able to drag him staggering forward with her brute strength.

The conflict between the two had already attracted a lot of attention, and when a girl was seen dragging an old man forward without looking back, everyone dispersed, looking at them in amazement and whispering.

After being dragged out of a distance, Master Qian finally came to his senses. He suddenly felt that an old face couldn't hang up, and he immediately wanted to grab Wen Jianning's shoulder with one hand, but she dodged sideways.

Wen Jianning saw that the other party still wanted to move his hands and feet, so he directly pushed him away. But when she caught a glimpse of the pool not far away, she remembered to restrain her strength a little.

However, it was too late.

Master Qian only felt a strong rush coming, and suddenly stumbled back a few steps. He was already in his sixties, and he was hollowed out by the wine, and his center of gravity was unstable under his feet, and he threw his head upside down into the pool below the fountain with a thud.

I only heard a loud bang, and there was a huge splash, and the women who were a little closer were splashed by the splash, and the dresses on their bodies were soaked, and they suddenly let out one exclamation after another.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone present were turned here.
