Chapter 184: A Misunderstanding
The remaining five days of the examination passed quickly, and the Gongyuan was quiet under the watchful eye of the guards.
Wang Jue walked out of the gate of the Tribute Academy, finally finished the exam, and stayed in the prison of the Tribute Academy for six days, feeling that the skeleton of the whole body was about to disperse, and there was a faint pain in the knee joint.
"Brother Wang, wait for me."
A familiar voice came from behind him, and Wang Jue frowned.
"Look at Brother Wang's appearance, you are the champion this time." Qiu Xi looked at Wang Jue with a smile.
Wang Jue didn't look at him at all, and said coldly: "I rushed from Jiangnan to Beijing for thousands of miles, and the position of champion is bound to be obtained, Brother Qiu's literary talent is not bad, and the list must be Brother Qiu." ”
After Wang Jue finished speaking, he left without waiting for Qiu Xian to answer.
Qiu Xi looked at Wang Jue unusually, suddenly so conceited, the doubt in his heart had already been swept away by anger, and he whispered in his mouth: "It's really arrogant, the champion may not be killed." ”
......
When Wang Jue returned to Wen's house, everyone gathered around and asked long questions for a long time before they dispersed.
"Seventeen Lang, the exam is hard, sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." Wen Banniang said thoughtfully.
"Thank you, Ba Niang." After Wang Jue finished speaking, he looked around at the crowd, but he didn't find Wen Jing's shadow.
"Where's Qi Niang?"
Wen Banniang brought a cup of tea, and the smile on her face stiffened slightly: "Qi Niang hasn't come back yet, it should be almost time to see the sun." ”
Wang Jue nodded, but he hadn't seen him for six days, but his heart was in chaos, as if he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he hurried back just to see the longing face. I don't know when it started, but I already have a concern in my heart.
I don't know what to do, and I go deep.
Wen Banniang looked at Wang Jue's distracted appearance, and called softly: "Seventeen Lang? ”
"What's going on in the house lately?" Wang Jue came back to his senses.
"Yes, the Ningguo Mansion has come to propose." Wen Banniang said.
Wang Jue's hand shook, and the tea was sprinkled on the cyan robe.
"Ahh Wen Banniang hurriedly picked up the handkerchief and wanted to wipe the tea leaves off Wang Jue's robe.
Wang Jue pinched Wen Banniang's hand that was about to touch his clothes, and said lightly: "Qi Niang, she, agreed?" ”
Wen Banniang's hand hurt, but she felt even more tingling in her heart. said angrily: "This can't be blamed by Qi Niang." The order of the parents, besides, it is the old lady Ji and the eldest princess who came to mention it in person."
Wang Jue lost his mind for a moment, suddenly let go of his hand, got up and walked towards the house.
Wen Banniang rubbed her aching wrist. Some chagrin. She didn't understand why she had said that. knew that Wang Jue would misunderstand, but he still said that, when did he become a person like Wu Niang
Wen Jing returned home. Thinking that Wang Jue should also come back, he walked in the direction of his house.
As soon as he walked to the outside of the house, he found that the lights in the house were dimmed all of a sudden, Wen Jing was slightly stunned, this was not the time to go to bed, and Wang Jue did not have the habit of going to bed early.
"Seventeen? Did you fall asleep? Wen Jing shouted softly, she wanted to ask Wang Jue if there was any movement in Qiu Xi.
There was silence in the room, and no one answered.
Perhaps he was too tired from the exams for several days, so Wen Jing turned around and left.
"Goo-dong!"
Wen Jing had just turned around and didn't take a few steps when he heard a pop from inside, and he was shocked, could it be Qiu Xian?
Holding the dagger in his hand tightly, Wen Jing hurriedly walked a few steps, suddenly pushed open the door, and by the moonlight, he found that Wang Jue was sitting on the ground rubbing his legs, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart, aren't you sleeping? !
Wang Jue was also a little embarrassed: "I just got up and went to make it easier." ”
Wen Jing looked at Wang Jue dressed neatly, how could she fall asleep, she didn't bother to debunk such a clumsy lie.
"Since you have nothing to do, then I'll go first, you can rest."
After speaking, Wen Jing turned around and left.
Watching Wen Jing disappear into the night, Wang Jue got up, after winter, his legs were still a little sore, only to hear movement outside the door, from the footsteps he could hear that it was Wen Jing coming, but somehow he hurriedly blew out the light, he was suddenly a little scared, although he had learned from Banniang's mouth, but he felt that it was a hundred times cruel to say it from Wen Jing's mouth.
Hearing Wen Jing shout, he couldn't help but want to open the door, but he couldn't help but want to see her, so he thought about walking to the window to take a look, but when his leg hurt, he hit the corner of the table, and was pierced by Wen Jing like this, Wang Jue felt that it was better to dig a hole and bury himself
Following.
Wen Banniang walked into Wang Jue's room with a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup, but saw that Wang Jue was putting the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table in his bag.
"Seventeen, what are you doing?"
Wang Jue didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "Go back to Jiangnan." ”
"The test has just ended, and the palace test hasn't been taken yet, why do you have to go back?" Wen Banniang was surprised.
"You don't need to take the temple exam."
Wen Banniang was stunned, the bowl in her hand was crooked, the soup in the bowl was hot to her hand, and the bowl fell to the ground with a "clang".
Wang Jue raised his head, glanced at Wen Banniang lightly, and had no intention of helping, then lowered his head and continued to pack his things.
Facing Wang Jue's unwarm eyes, Wen Banniang regretted a little in her heart, she was moving a stone to shoot herself in the foot, if it wasn't for yesterday saying that Ningguo Mansion would come to propose marriage, it is estimated that Wang Jue would not have left so quickly, and the last trace of luck in her heart was also wiped out, Wang Jue's heart was indeed only Qi Niang, never her.
"Seventeen Lang Actually" Wen Banniang picked up the debris that had fallen on the ground, thinking about how to explain it.
"Wang Jieyuan, Lord Qi is here, Mrs. will let you go." Mama He's voice appeared outside the door.
"Just come." Wang Jue frowned slightly, stopped what he was doing, and walked out.
Wen Banniang finished cleaning up the debris on the ground and walked out, but the words that came to her mouth still didn't come out.
Wang Jue walked to the front hall, and King Qi was really sitting there, smiling and talking to Mrs. Wen.
"See the prince."
"Hurry up and excuse me." When King Qi saw Wang Jue coming, the smile on his face was even worse.
As soon as Mrs. Wen saw Wang Jue coming, she consciously got up and said goodbye.
"Sit down." King Qi pointed to the position beside him.
Wang Jue hesitated, but still sat down.
"Why does the prince have time to come to Wenfu as a guest today? It's just that the two Wen adults are not there. ”
King Qi smiled and said, "This king is here to find Wang Xie Yuan, not Lord Wen." ”
Wang Jue pretended to be surprised and said: "Wang Jue, how can he de, He Lao will run in person, and in the future, if the prince needs to go down, he will send someone to call him." ”
Hearing Wang Jue say this, the appreciation in King Qi's eyes was even worse: "What is this king, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, heard that Zhang Liang was coming, and he was so happy that he couldn't even take care of wearing shoes, so he ran out of the city to greet him, Mr. Wang's talent is not under Zhang Liang." ”
Wang Jue's heart was suffocated, although he had never been in the officialdom, but he was familiar with the history books, and he didn't understand the sinister ones, this King of Qi actually compared himself to Gaozu Liu Bang, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.
King Qi's gaze stayed on Wang Jue for a moment, Wang Jue didn't speak, and he didn't say anything.
After a moment of silence, Wang Jue raised his head and said with a smile: "Han Gaozu knows how to make good use of people, this point is especially superior, no wonder the prince is very popular in the court." ”
King Qi smiled: "Mr. Wang has won the award, this king just likes to make more friends with literati and scholars." ”
Wang Jue took a sip of tea, different from the calmness in his eyes last time, King Qi's eyes were a little more eager and hot, the prince was deposed, King Xuan was placed under house arrest, King Qi suddenly became hot, everyone is afraid that King Qi is the next prince, and King Qi is also a little fluttering, a prince has ambitions, this is not a good thing.
"This fan in the hand of the prince is from Tang Yin's hand?" Wang Jue suddenly stared at the fan in King Qi's hand and said.
King Qi was slightly stunned, looked at the fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Exactly, Mr. Wang has a good eye." ”
Wang Jue's eyes flashed with brilliance: "I like Tang Bohu's calligraphy and painting the most in my life, but I didn't expect the prince to be a like-minded person." ”
King Qi turned his eyes, put away the folding fan in his hand, handed it to Wang Jue and said, "Since Mr. likes it, this fan will be given to Mr. ”
Wang Jue hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't help it, such a valuable thing can't be collected in the next ten thousand, and the prince's mind is in his heart." ”
Seeing that Wang Jue reluctantly glanced at the fan, King Qi smiled slightly: "A good painting must also be appreciated by someone, a gentleman is the beauty of an adult, Mr. postponed it again and swept away the interest of this king, quickly accept it." ”
Wang Jue hesitated again and again, and finally took the fan in King Qi's hand, and said with joy on his face: "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
King Qi glanced at Wang Jue, although this Wang Jue didn't have too many good words, but he liked such people, he had seen a lot of honey-bellied swords, he believed that at this moment Wang Jue's heart was completely on his side, and a pair of calligraphy and paintings were nothing compared to the country.
After sending King Qi away, the smile on Wang Jue's face was hidden, he looked down at Tang Yin's painting in his hand, stroked it a few times, and a sarcastic smile circled the corners of his mouth
As soon as Wen Jing got home, even Wen Banniang hurriedly walked over.
"Seventh sister, Seventeen Lang said that he was going back to Jiangnan, and he didn't even take the palace exam, you go and persuade him." Wen Banniang said.
Wen Jing was stunned, he was going back so soon, wouldn't he avenge Sixi?
"Eighth sister, don't worry, I'll take a look."
Wen Banniang nodded.
Wen Jing walked to the door of Wang Jue's house and found him holding a fan, thinking about something.
"You want to go back to Jiangnan?"
Wang Jue nodded: "Yes, but now I have changed my mind." ”
“”
It's really fast, Wen Jing sneered.
"Do you know this fan?" Wang Jue raised the fan in his hand and said.
Wen Jing looked at it, it seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and shook his head.
"This is what King Qi gave me today." Wang Jue smiled.
Hearing Wang Jue say this, Wen Jing finally remembered, and the appearance of King Qi shaking this fan immediately appeared in his mind, but when Wang Jue said this, it was obviously not meant to show off to her, what is the purpose of this fan? (To be continued......)
