Chapter 381: Sharpening the Knife

Seeing Wang Duanhan's debt, Wang Duanchun couldn't walk away, he couldn't see it, and sometimes he sighed in private, once he thought that he was unattainable, and his talented brother fell into this step, which is really a trick.

Wang Duanchun asked his entourage to give him the silver, and after paying off the debt, the thugs scolded and scolded, kicked Wang Duanhan hard, and slowly dispersed.

Wang Duanhan rubbed his lower abdomen, his lowered eyelids blocked his resentment, and he didn't know whether it was to the thug or to Wang Duanchun, who was helping, this kindness made him feel particularly uncomfortable, as if a person who was in the palm of his hand and always followed him suddenly stood taller than him.

“…… Thank you ......."

Wang Duanhan has to continue to act if it is not a taste, and he silently recites Yue Wang Goujian and Han Xin in his heart, even if he is humiliated at this time, he will even get back with interest in the future, drooping his head, Wang Duanhan got up and didn't even shoot the dust on his clothes, turned around and left.

"Brother."

Wang Duanchun stopped him instead, Wang Duanhan turned his back to Wang Duanchun, sure enough, being too positive is a bad thing, he is extremely experienced in dealing with Wang Duanchun, in the past, he and Wang Zhixuan were able to play Wang Duanchun in the palm of their hands, not only because their brothers and sisters were more favored.

"What?" Wang Duanhan puffed up his chest and pretended to be arrogant and said, "What else does the master have to order?" ”

Wang Duanchun's face was slightly ashamed, and he complained a little in his heart about his father Wang Yixin leaving Wang Duanhan's brothers and sisters, after all, they are also his father's blood and blood, and now he lives in fine clothes and food, and he is respected and respected wherever he goes, and Wang Zhixuan ...... I heard that Xiang Xiaoyu died, and the former talented Wang Duanhan was as depressed as a beggar.

No matter how much he was wronged before, it should be gone.

Moreover, he himself was not wronged. Wang Zhiyao didn't tell him everything. Later, he studied under Yin Boyi. Although he has been taught by his master, he knows in his heart that he wants to be close to his sister-in-law and knows the dispute between his sister-in-law, but it is difficult for Wang Duanchun, who is kind-hearted, to make matters worse for people who are now down-and-out.

His knowledge has increased, his horizons have broadened, and he is more able to let go of old enmities.

"Why didn't my cousin leave the capital with my uncle?"

"Why don't you leave the capital?" Wang Duanhan looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, Jun's face was flushed, and he said excitedly: "They are a family." How can the Wang family have a place for me? In the capital, they still regarded me as a prodigal and went to Jiangnan...... If I don't get it, I'll be killed by them, not to mention that I'm a showman, and I still have to take the township test, do you want me to live a bad life all my life, so as to fulfill you, the beloved son-in-law of Shoufu? Hou Ye's son? ”

Wang Duanchun's lips moved, and he couldn't speak, Shoufu loved his son-in-law, and the prince of Hou Ye was also like two shackles, pressing on him. He sometimes doesn't know if the scenery is because of his talent or because of his identity.

He knew that he couldn't be like his brother-in-law Gu Sanshao. So proud that he doesn't care about anyone's opinions.

"Since my brother still has a career in his heart, don't mess around in the market, those people don't seem to be good people."

"The Wang family sold everything and left nothing for me." Wang Duanhan raised his head in amazement, "Although the capital is large, it is difficult to find a place for heat. ”

"Shall I book a guild hall for you?"

"No, I don't want to be favored by the prince."

“……”

Wang Duanchun couldn't hold Wang Duanhan, seeing him leaving, he sighed silently, turned to the entourage beside him and ordered, "Don't tell Master Hou about this matter, don't tell anyone." ”

"Why should the prince care about him anymore?"

"He's always my brother, if I can't see him, I'll be fine, but now that he's in trouble in front of me, how can I turn a blind eye?"

Wang Duanchun said: "You catch up and give him two silver tickets, I give him silver, he won't ask for it." ”

The entourage was picked out by Wang Duanchun himself, and he had not experienced the twists and turns of the Wang family, he was the most loyal to Wang Duanchun, but there were also brothers and sisters in the family, Wang Duanhan's situation had to be sighed after anyone saw it, and Wang Duanhan, who took the silver ticket to catch up with the faltering pace, and shed tears in his clothes, "The silver ticket given to you by the prince, you and your subordinates." ”

Worried that Wang Duanhan would refuse, he directly stuffed the silver ticket into Wang Duanhan's hand, turned around and left quickly.

Wang Duanhan glanced up at Wang Duanchun's direction, sighed silently, nodded slightly to express gratitude, but the hand holding the silver ticket on the cuff was tight, the silver ticket was very hot, this was what he sold his dignity in exchange.

He only found out today that in addition to jealousy, he also hated Wang Duanchun...... The bitter hatred for Wang Zhiyao is not Wang Zhiyao, he is still Wang Yixin's most beloved son.

But behind Wang Zhiyao stood Gu Sanshao, who scared him to the bones, he couldn't and didn't dare to do anything bad to Wang Zhiyao, even if Ning Yuanhou wanted Wang Zhiyao to die the most...... He didn't dare to hit Wang Zhiyao with his idea.

The next day, Wang Duanhan waited on the road that Wang Duanchun had to pass through, this time he held the manuscript he had written indiscriminately after staying up all night, and when he saw Wang Duanchun, he said with a little embarrassment, "I can't find a good teacher, no one guides me in my homework, most of the people around me are flashy, and I ask the prince to help me take a look." ”

Wang Duanchun naturally will not refuse, he has been following Yin's maternal grandfather as a professor in the academy, and he also likes to guide students in their homework, if Wang Duanhan asks him for benefits, he will be suspicious.

"There's a teahouse in front of us, and we're drinking and talking."

"Okay."

Two people with similar faces walked into the teahouse, Wang Duanchun didn't go to the crowded hall because he didn't want Wang Duanhan to be uncomfortable, and at the same time, he didn't want his wife and sister to hear the rumors, he knew that his wife and sister were unwilling to take care of Wang Duanhan, he could only try his best to help privately, and he didn't dare to show a point in front of his family.

With the current status of the Hou Mansion and Wang Duanchun's current reputation, it is too difficult for Wang Duanhan to ruin him.

If Wang Duanhan said bad things about him, the people in the capital would not believe it.

Wang Duanchun looked at the rice paper in his hand, his brows were furrowed, Wang Duanhan felt that he wrote well, and drank tea with a big grin, thinking that he was shocked, Wang Duanchun was just lucky, relying on his family background, he couldn't compare to himself in terms of true talent and real learning.

"This is written by my brother?"

"Please also ask the prince for advice."

Wang Duanchun shook his head and said: "To tell you the truth, it is difficult to pass the township test at the level of this article...... The elder brother made two fatal mistakes. There is nothing new in solving the problem. Such an article. Many people in the academy can write that it is difficult to write such an essay in the township examination, which is the most difficult to pass in the industry, and it is difficult to stand out from the public. ”

Wang Duanhan's face was red and white, if he didn't have other plans, he had already brushed his sleeves away, "Please also ask the prince for advice." ”

He shouldn't have come to see Wang Duanchun. Suffered all the humiliation in vain, what township tried to be sad, and was it unknown to the public? The fool who couldn't lift his head in front of him before, the stupid, now he even said that he couldn't do it?

It's ...... It's ...... Wang Duanhan's chest was dull, as if he was holding his stomach, but he couldn't vent, he scratched his forehead, why did he want to be a spy who listened to Gu Sanshao's words? Marquis Ning Yuan is also a bad person, and he prefers him to get close to Wang Duanchun.

"The township test is not for stability. Or seek innovation. Although Wang Duanchun sympathized with Wang Duanhan, he was instructing his homework. He is ruthless when anyone comes, and always tells the truth, "Your article is unstable, flashy, and not innovative enough, and there is still hope for the township test after two years of hard study." ”

"I don't have any hope this time?"

"Nope."

Wang Duanchun pointed to the mistake on the rice paper, "My brother even wrote the words of the saint wrongly, and such a volume will definitely fall into place." You are too anxious, not calm enough, I remember that my brother was not like this before, how can you ...... How can learning regress so much? It's not that the handwriting is vaguely like what my brother wrote, I can't believe that this article was made by you, in terms of the depth of the article, it is worse than what my brother wrote when he was even a small and medium-sized three-yuan. ”

It has been five or six years since the small and medium-sized Sanyuan, and Wang Duanhan has not only not seen any progress, but has regressed a lot.

Wang Duanhan snatched the rice paper, his handsome face was hideous, "Enough, I shouldn't have come today, how do you want to insult me?" ”

"Brother, you misunderstood me, I really think about you......" Wang Duanchun explained anxiously, "I don't want to see my brother fail to win the game for the rest of his life, it is easy to lose his sharpness after a few falls, and his knowledge will become more mediocre, I advise you, this township test is still forgotten, I can write to the chief of Taishan Academy, my brother goes to Taishan Academy to study, all expenses, I will take care of it for you." ”

"You even know the mountain chief of Taishan Academy?"

"I once gave lectures to the students of the academy, not that I couldn't bear to live up to the expectations of my father and father-in-law, I would rather be a professor in the academy, and the mountain chief also said that he would hand over Taishan Academy to me in the future, but it's a pity...... It's a pity that I finally went to the official career and lived up to the wishes of the mountain chief. ”

"Okay, good, I didn't know that my good brother, who used to be the tail of the crane, actually became a teacher."

Wang Duanhan didn't know how to vent his breath, pointed at Wang Duanchun, and said, "Let's see if I can pass this township test, don't think ...... I think I'm not as good as you, let's see. ”

"Brother."

"Hmph."

Wang Duanhan brushed his sleeves away, Wang Duanchun pressed his forehead, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

In another adjacent tea room that they didn't notice, Gu Tianze hooked the corners of his mouth, it was really interesting, but the person who should have been calculated was so angry that Wang Duanhan was angry, and his brother-in-law was not completely undesirable.

"Does the third young master need to give him a message?"

"Not necessarily."

The corner of Gu Tianze's eyes looked at Wang Duanchun's entourage who was arrested, "If there is news in the future, I will inform you immediately." ”

"Yes, Master Hou."

Although he was loyal to Wang Duanchun, he was even more afraid of his uncle, and when he saw that his uncle had no orders, he left quietly.

"He has had a smooth ride in recent years, he has suffered before, he doesn't care, and he doesn't understand, Yin Shoufu and his father-in-law can't protect him for a lifetime, even if he won't get involved too deep in the center in the future, but his identity is there, he has always been the most easily used part of the Yin family and the Wang family."

Gu Tianze sighed: "Xiao Qi took on everything, and finally untied the knot with his father-in-law, and Wang Duanchun ...... He doesn't understand anything, stupid people have stupid blessings, but I can't let him continue to be stupid, what if he is used to hurt Xiao Qi when I can't see it? This time I have to teach him a lesson. ”

"The young master is wise."

"Actually, I wish I hadn't been able to catch him." Gu Tianze got up and said, "Yin Shoufu has been tossed enough by His Majesty recently, how can he care about him?" The father-in-law was also helping His Majesty suppress Qingliu, and they all ignored Wang Duanhan. ”

Although Gu Tianze was also busy fighting for power and profit, and was busy gathering the military power of Marquis Ning Yuan, he who had experienced palace fights was more careful than anyone else, "Staring at him from afar." ”

"Yes, Third Young Master."

Ah Si nodded again and again, not only to keep an eye on Wang Duanhan, but also to keep an eye on Wang Duanchun, after all, Mrs. lives in her mother's house, and there are many opportunities to meet Wang Duanchun.

"Young Master, if Chun Shizi can't pass your test in the end......"

"I will let him teach at Taishan Academy for the rest of his life."

Gu Tianze didn't care if Yin Shoufu would be dissatisfied with this, "It's not necessarily bad for him to live a simple life." ”

*****

Wang Duanhan vented fiercely in the room, and after smashing the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, he felt more comfortable, and stepped on the torn rice paper, "You dare to say that I am worthless?" Okay, I'll definitely show you the township test. ”

"Young Master Wang, our young lady is invited."

Wang Duanhan finally waited for Ning Yuanhou's people, miss? Liu Mingzhu, who is about to enter the palace as a concubine?

He saw Liu Mingzhu from a distance in the temple where Emperor Qianyuan was recuperating from his injuries, and he was very impressed by the beautiful and moving Liu Mingzhu, which was so stunning...... Only Gu Sanshao can be worthy, he hopes that Liu Mingzhu can successfully charm Gu Sanshao, at least to add some trouble to Wang Zhiyao. (To be continued......)
