When Li Weiguo accompanied Shen Ziyan out of Dacheng Hall, there were already a sea of people outside.

It turns out that today is the annual temple fair, and countless students who have come to worship Confucius in order to gain fame and fortune have come to worship Confucius, looking forward to a good result and a good future in the scientific examination in Japan.

At the same time, the Jiangnan Gongyuan behind the Confucius Temple will also open its doors, so that those students who admire the Gongyuan but have no chance to enter the Gongyuan to study have the opportunity to enter and feel the atmosphere of the higher education institution.

And next to the Confucius Temple, the Jiangnan Political Embassy Office separated from the Confucius Temple by a wall will also organize a large-scale poetry and book meeting to select the four great talents of Jiangnan this year.

Those students who have repeatedly failed to do so, complaining about the darkness of the imperial examination in the imperial court on weekdays, complaining about their injustice for failing to pass the examination, will appear on the stage on this day, give full play to their talents, and hope to select the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, in order to prove that they are not good at their own strength but that the court is too mediocre, and corrupt officials are in power.

On the other side of the Confucius Temple is the examination center of the annual imperial examination, which has more than 20,000 examination booths, which are usually used as examination venues, and will be opened on the day of the Confucius Temple Fair, becoming the venue for tens of thousands of talents to compete for the name of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River.

There are tens of thousands of talented people present, and naturally all kinds of beauties are indispensable to accompany them.

In this feudal era, a man can have three wives and four concubines, and the more women around him, the more people around him, the more he has the ability, status and ability, and similarly, these students who came to participate in the battle for the four talents in Jiangnan also have to compete, they either bring their wives and concubines out to show off, or spend money to hire the top famous prostitutes in the land of fireworks to come to help, and then they usually show off the Wensao and mix in the Qing* Building, and bring a group of concubines out to support the scene.

Of course, in addition to tens of thousands of students and their women's gangs, there were also tens of thousands of ordinary people who came to see the excitement.

Since ancient times, Chinese have always liked to be lively, and the more crowded the place is the best place, in Li Weiguo's era, holiday travel is not to see the scenery but to see the sea of people.

Li Weiguo has never been interested in this, he doesn't like to join in the fun, and he has always been where there are few people.

Now facing the crowd in front of her, the maid Xiaohe almost jumped and wanted to squeeze inside, but Shen Ziyan had an appetite for Li Weiguo, and she didn't like crowded places.

Li Weiguo wanted to talk to Shen Ziyan about Liru Bank several times, but this Xiaohe deliberately interrupted, and Li Weiguo had no choice but to do it in a hurry.

Li Weiguo knew that this Xiaohe was the dog-headed military advisor and bodyguard beside Shen Ziyan, so he had to take her away, otherwise he would not be able to get close to Shen Ziyan and get what he wanted.

Seeing the large flow of people nearby, Li Weiguo suddenly rolled his eyes and called Zhang Xiaoliu to ask a few words.

Zhang Xiaoliu understood, and immediately called more than a dozen guards to make trouble in the crowd, and deliberately guided the crowd towards Li Weiguo and Shen Ziyan.

"Protect Miss Shen!"

Li Weiguo shouted, immediately grabbed Shen Ziyan's hand, and led her towards the direction of the carriage.

Over there, Xiaohe was about to squeeze inside, wanting to see the talented and beautiful women inside, but was suddenly dispersed by the crowd.

She saw Li Weiguo leaving with Shen Ziyan from a distance, she was anxious and shouted loudly.

It's just that the sound of the crowd overshadowed her screams, and Shen Ziyan was being held by Li Weiguo at the moment, her heart was like a deer, and her mind was blank, where did she want to get her maid.

"Where is Xiaohe?"

After Shen Ziyan and Li Weiguo got into the carriage, she found that her maid was missing.

Li Weiguo immediately said: "Miss Shen, don't worry, I have already sent Xiao Liuzi to bring someone to find her, and it will be fine." ”

"That's good, it's okay to have Mr. Lao Li bother." Shen Ziyan didn't have any suspicions, but her hand was still held by Li Weiguo, a little overwhelmed, and she didn't know what to say, so she immediately lowered her head and said nothing.

Li Weiguo was very happy when he saw this, and he was even more sure of Shen Ziyan's thoughts about him, so he held other people's hands, and said without blushing and panting: "Don't always be Li Gongzi Li Gongzi, it seems too angry, call me Weiguo." ”

"Really?" Shen Ziyan asked in disbelief, and when she saw Li Weiguo nodding, she immediately said happily: "Then don't call me Miss Shen, call me Ziyan, okay?" ”

"Ziyan." Li Weiguo screamed lightly and nodded in agreement, he knew very well that in this era of strict feudal etiquette, the titles between men and women were very strict, and men and women who were not related to each other called each other by their nicknames, which was an extraordinary relationship.

Of course, what Li Weiguo wants now is this effect, he must open the gap from Shen Ziyan and find a way to prevent the establishment of Liru Bank.

Hearing Li Weiguo call himself Ziyan, Shen Ziyan cried with joy and said abruptly: "Weiguo, do you know? You haven't called me that for five years and thirteen days. ”

"Introduce ......"

Li Weiguo was about to strike while the iron was hot and directly ask Shen Ziyan about Liru Bank, but he was stunned after hearing Shen Ziyan's words.

Is this the situation of Shenma?

"We were together five years ago?" Li Weiguo asked tentatively, but he thought about what happened to him and Shen Ziyan five years ago?

It's just that after Li Weiguo was reborn, he had two memories of a twelve-year-old boy in his head, which had a temporal overlapping effect with each other, which was very chaotic and difficult for him to remember.

"You don't even remember?" Shen Ziyan asked in surprise, her delicate body trembled violently, if she took off the drooping veil, Li Weiguo would definitely be able to see that there were tears in her eyes.

"This ......" Although Li Weiguo couldn't see Shen Ziyan's facial expression, he could roughly feel the other party's excitement and loss from her trembling voice, so he explained: "Ziyan, you must know that some time ago, I almost died of measles, I was in a coma for several days, and I can't remember many things before I was twelve years old. ”

"That's right, so you don't remember when we used to be together?" Hearing Li Weiguo's explanation, Shen Ziyan's mood was finally not so excited, but she was still very disappointed in her words.

Li Weiguo continued: "When I woke up, I didn't even recognize my mother! ”

"Then why do you remember Fu Shanxiang?" Shen Ziyan suddenly shouted in an unkind tone.

Li Weiguo suddenly smiled bitterly and continued to explain: "Naturally, I don't remember Sister Shanxiang either, but it was only later that my mother mentioned her to me, and I gradually remembered it. If no one sued me, I would never be able to remember it, just like the matter between me and you, no one sued me at all, and if it wasn't for you and I meeting and saying something, I wouldn't be able to remember. ”

"I see, then I can't blame you." Shen Ziyan's unhappiness suddenly disappeared a lot, and under the comfort and coaxing of Li Weiguo's kind words, she told her what happened between the two.

It turned out that Shen Ziyan was very lonely when she was a child, and since her mother died, her father was busy with business and couldn't take care of her at all, so Shen Ziyan often came to the Confucius Temple to play alone when she was a child, and once met a few little boys who bullied her, among which Li Weiguo was the first to take the lead. At that time, Li Weiguo saw that Shen Ziyan was beautiful, so he pressed her down (not tall enough) and kissed her, and then the two held a marriage cave ceremony, forcing Shen Ziyan to be his "wife of the village".

Although Shen Ziyan was angry with Li Weiguo and cried that day, she hated him even more, but they were all children, even if they were fighting the next day, they forgot about it, they should play together and play together, Shen Ziyan was also reluctant at the beginning to take the initiative to be Li Weiguo's wife, and soon got used to this kind of child's life.

It's just that Shen Ziyan is three years older than Li Weiguo, and by the time Shen Ziyan was twelve years old, she was already in love, had the mind of a girl, and was even more "into the play" when she played with Li Weiguo. Even whenever Shen Ziyan asked Li Weiguo if he would marry her in the future, Li Weiguo would not hesitate to say yes, and swore to God more than once.

Until one day, Li Weiguo suddenly stopped coming to the Confucius Temple, and Shen Ziyan waited for a long time that day, until she learned that Li Weiguo had married a girl six years older than him, Shen Ziyan cried, very sad, and blinded her eyes from crying.

When he heard this, Li Weiguo's mood became very complicated, and the chaotic memories in his mind gradually became clear, knowing that Shen Ziyan was not lying, and those things were true.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me not keeping the agreement, you wouldn't be crying blind." Li Weiguo didn't feel good in his heart, after all, he didn't keep the agreement, which caused Shen Ziyan to cry and blind, and she didn't get married until now, which delayed her youth.

At the same time, Li Weiguo was also moved by Shen Ziyan's persistent heart.

What makes the person I love the most hurt me the most, and being able to cry blind is the most favorable proof.

Shen Ziyan wiped her tears and said, "I can't blame you, you were only eight years old at that time, how can you change the decision of an adult?" But it's a good thing that I'm blind, my father was going to marry me to a dignitary family, but later those dignitaries heard that I was a blind man and didn't allow me to be a wife, and my father didn't allow me to be a concubine because of his good face, so I can wait until now, and wait until you renew your relationship with Weiguo. ”

"Introduce ......"

"What? You hate me for being blind? ”

"It's not!"

Li Weiguo smiled bitterly, now that the two have already talked about it, then he can only be honest with each other.

So he said: "Zi Yan, I am very clear about your intentions for me, and I am very grateful, but after all, I have already married Sister Shanxiang." In addition, you also know the great sacrifice that Sister Shanxiang made for me, and I will never abandon her. ”

After Li Weiguo finished speaking, he sighed, he knew the consequences of the showdown, if Shen Ziyan couldn't accept it, then he would never help him anymore, and the matter of stopping Liru Bank would be in vain.

After waiting for a while, just when Li Weiguo closed his eyes and was about to give up this opportunity, Shen Ziyan suddenly said: "Sister Shanxiang is willing to sacrifice a qiē for you, such a wife can't be found with a lantern, if you give up lightly, then I, Shen Ziyan, will see you wrong." ”

Li Weiguo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he secretly said that there was a play.

At this time, Shen Ziyan continued: "I know why you are willing to come to Jinling to accompany me to visit the Confucius Temple!" ”

Li Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and was about to explain, but was stopped by Shen Ziyan raising her hand, she continued: "Whether you take advantage of me, or think of the happy relationship we had together before, I will do my best to help you." ”

Hearing Shen Ziyan say this, Li Weiguo was embarrassed.

"Thank you, Zi Yan, as long as I can prevent the establishment of Liru Bank, I, Li Weiguo, owe you a favor, no matter what you ask in the future, if I can do it, I will definitely complete it for you." Li Weiguo said very solemnly, at this moment he already understood that Shen Ziyan in front of him had regained his composure, as the only daughter of the richest man Shen Wansan, she was definitely a very smart character, and she couldn't hide her rhetoric, so she had to be real.

Sure enough, hearing Li Weiguo's promise, Shen Ziyan suddenly asked happily: "If I ask you to marry me, you can do it?" ”

Li Weiguo smiled bitterly, he had already guessed that there would be this result, but his heart was no longer as resistant as before, since he knew just now that Shen Ziyan was so sad that he cried and blinded his eyes, his heart accepted Shen Ziyan, but Li Weiguo didn't want to be sorry for Fu Shanxiang, and he needed to ask Fu Shanxiang's final consent.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo said with a smile: "It is also my honor to be able to marry the first beauty in Jinling, but I have to ask for the consent of Sister Shanxiang, you know that she has paid too much for me, I can't be sorry for her." ”

Li Weiguo thought that Shen Ziyan would be angry, but unexpectedly, Shen Ziyan sneered, but said happily: "Do you think that the matter between us can be hidden from the intelligent sister Shanxiang of Bingxue?" In fact, Sister Shanxiang has long known about the fact that our two families have been married, she even came to me, we have said a lot of things, Sister Shanxiang even said that she doesn't mind letting me be your concubine, just because you are still young and can't hide the matter and have not told you, otherwise why do you think Miss Ben can insist on waiting for you to this day? ”

Sure enough, things between women are too complicated for people to guess and understand.

Suddenly knowing so many hidden plots, Li Weiguo could only smile bitterly, his heart was full of surprise, whether it was Fu Shanxiang or Shen Ziyan, they all hid so many secrets.

Hey, it's not easy to be a man!

"What's that look on your face?"

Listening to Shen Ziyan's sudden question, Li Weiguo suddenly looked at Shen Ziyan in surprise and asked, "How can you see my expression?" ”
