Chapter 104: Among the Joints

Wen Zhen Meng's mansion.

The only one who can participate in the Chuan Yu Ceremony is Wen Zhenmeng, Wen Zhen Meng is the left Yude from the five grades, and he is just qualified to participate in the Chuan Yu Ceremony, as for Wen Zhenheng and Yao Ximeng, they are not qualified, and their grades are not enough.

Wen Zhenmeng's grade is not high, standing behind, he can't see Zheng Xunrui at all.

At this time, Wen Zhenmeng and Wen Zhenheng's faces were a little gloomy, and Yao Ximeng's face showed a contemplative expression.

Zheng Xunrui's three yuan and the first shocked the capital, and at the age of seventeen, he became the first person in the Ming Imperial Examination, such an honor is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

It is said that Zheng Xunrui is Wen Zhenmeng's grandson-in-law, and everyone should be happy, but the atmosphere at this time is completely different.

Wen Zhenmeng, who has always favored Yao Ximeng, also couldn't help it.

"The marriage between the third brother, Meng Chang, Qingyang and Manshan, and no matter how controversial it is, the matter is a family matter after all, the people who know about it are only five or six people before and after, how do outsiders know, I have written to ask Wen Qiankang, presumably it is unlikely that the news will be leaked out at home, but Qingyang knows, is it possible that someone said about the controversy in the family."

Wen Zhenheng, who had a gloomy face, immediately spoke.

"Big brother, I don't know about this matter, since I met Qing Yang, I have been thinking about this question, how did Qing Yang know about such a thing, I can guarantee that Wen Qiankang will not leak the slightest news, when he encountered difficulties, Qian Kang didn't even tell his sister-in-law, if it wasn't for his sister-in-law to ask, I don't know what the ending would be, Qing Yang came to Wen Mansion later, and he didn't show any abnormalities, but he only knew about it after he arrived in the capital this time, and he knew about it on the day of the trial list."

Wen Zhenheng's pointing is very obvious, the problem may be Yao Ximeng's body, but he is not easy to say.

The meaning of the words, Wen Zhenmeng must be able to understand.

"Third brother, what do you think Qing Yang will do if he knows about this?"

"I'm not sure about this, but when I talked to Qing Yang that day, I had already told Qing Yang all the ins and outs of the matter, Qing Yang's expression, which made me very pleased, Qing Yang Jian yì I care about this matter, what he meant, if the internal affairs of the Wen family are all spread out, it will be very unfavorable in the future."

After all, Wen Zhenmeng is in his fifties, and he has long understood the meaning of this, but there are some things that he can't say either, after all, the relationship with Yao Ximeng is not ordinary.

It was Yao Ximeng who took the initiative to speak.

"Although Qingyang is said to be three yuan and first, I think it is still debatable in terms of conduct......

This time, before Yao Ximeng's words were finished, Wen Zhenmeng spoke.

"Meng Chang, what is Qingyang's character, for the time being, no real contact, no one can say clearly, today's biography ceremony, Qingyang's expression xiàn, compared with my table back then, but also prominent, not arrogant, not humble, no arrogance, and I also heard that on the day of the palace test, the emperor once asked Qingyang personally, asked for poetry, Qingyang's expression is very good, and has been unanimously praised by the cabinet, such young people, rashly talking about the matter of conduct, there is something inappropriate, what is said today is a matter of family discussion, How it leaked out is not a trivial matter. ”

Yao Ximeng's old face turned slightly red, and he lowered his head and did not speak.

Wen Zhenmeng glanced at Yao Ximeng and continued to speak.

"Qingyang High School will take the Yuan, and I know the things within the Wen family, someone deliberately told the news to Qingyang, the purpose of doing so is nothing more than two, one is to provoke Qingyang, so that he is out of proportion during the palace exam, and he can't do well in the exam, and the other is to let Qingyang withdraw from the marriage in anger, so that Qingyang and the Wen family will suffer humiliation, I have thought about it for a long time, there will be no other purpose, but unfortunately the purpose has not been achieved, Qingyang can face this matter correctly, it is not simple, but how did this matter leak out, It must be clarified, otherwise the Wen family will encounter a conspiracy in the future and will still be kept in the dark. ”

Wen Zhenheng nodded, he was a little relieved, the eldest brother finally understood the stakes, the person he suspected was Yao Ximeng, judging from Yao Ximeng's attitude just now, he still doubted Zheng Xunrui, this kind of understanding is simply ridiculous and generous, I believe that Zheng Xunrui's knowledge and future are far stronger than him Yao Ximeng's, he doesn't bow his head when he should bow his head, and blindly thinks about belittling others, such pedantic, ancient and modern are difficult to find.

Wen Zhenmeng sighed slightly and spoke to Yao Ximeng.

"Meng Chang, I remember that you have a good relationship with Zhang Pu and others, and Zhang Pu, Wu Weiye and Yang Yi and others came to the capital to participate in the examination, and once visited you, you also have a praising attitude towards the society and the Fu Society, Qingyang once cut off his robe with Zhang Pu and others, and the relationship between them is incompatible, no matter when and where, they are opponents, such things, if Zhang Pu and others know, they will definitely not let go."

Wen Zhenmeng is indeed not stupid, and he has long analyzed that there may be clues in it, but he has always wanted Yao Ximeng to take the initiative to say it, but when it comes to this, Yao Ximeng still doubts Zheng Xunrui's character, which is intolerable, so at this time, he needs to say it directly.

Yao Ximeng's face gradually turned red, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Wen Zhenheng's face turned blue with anger, and when he stood up and was about to speak, he was stopped by Wen Zhenmeng raising his hand.

"Meng Chang, you and I are like brothers, although it is an uncle-nephew relationship, but we have always gotten along like brothers, the marriage between Qingyang and Manshan, I have always trusted you, even if I don't listen to the reprimand of the third brother, I am determined to withdraw from this family business, if it weren't for Mrs. insistence, so the marriage would have been withdrawn long ago, Wenfu is afraid that there will be a big thing that turns the world upside down, I trust you so much, I hope you can think more about the Wen family, if you recognize Qingyang from Zhang Pu and others, then I have done something completely wrong before, you know, Zhang Pu and Qing Yang are complete opponents, how can Zhang Pu say good things about Qing Yang. ”

"Qing Yang and your dialogue in the mansion, I know everything, if you judge Qing Yang's character based on these conversations, I can only express my disappointment in you, Qing Yang is not wrong, on the contrary, you come to contact Qing Yang with a lot of prejudices, then no matter how Qing Yang behaves, you will not be satisfied."

Wen Zhenmeng's words have already been said very seriously, Yao Ximeng is also in his fifties, hearing such words, he couldn't help it, but he himself knows what he has done before, and the relationship between him and Wen Zhenmeng is by no means as simple as others think, and it is not something that can turn his face in a few words.

Wen Zhenmeng sighed and stood up again.

"To say that I have a good understanding of Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, but unfortunately recently, after hearing what the third brother said, I had some doubts, so I began to trace the source and understand the truth of many things, not to tell you, I even wrote a letter to Lord Yang, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, Lord Yang knew that Qingyang was my grandson-in-law, so he did not hide many things in the letter, and almost told it out."

When Wen Zhenmeng said this, Yao Ximeng and Wen Zhenheng both looked up at him.

"Qingyang High School Nanzhili Township tried to solve the Yuan, and encountered the impeachment of Chen Yaoyan in the Nanjing Huke Matter, the reason was that Qingyang's family bought a thousand horses, and then someone specially instigated Lord Zhou, who had already given the Shi, to marry the Liu Yin girl of the Qinhuai River Shengze Returning Home as a concubine, but I didn't know that Liu Yin girl had long been fond of Qingyang, and it was precisely because of this incident that Qing Yang angrily broke into Shengze's homecoming, and cut off the robes with Zhang Pu and Yang Yi and others who were present at the time, it should be that there were Wu Weiye and Gong Dingyu and others present at the time, of course, Lord Yang did not make an analysis, It's just that there are some things that I know. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Zhenmeng's face became stern.

"Lord Yang's grandson Yang Tingshu, this time the palace tried the flowers, and Zheng Xun Rui was the same brother, Yang Tingshu didn't know what the reason was, he quit the Ying Society, this move annoyed Zhang Pu and Yang Yi and others, there was a conflict between them, and then Qing Yang supported Yang Tingshu, and when he traveled in Suzhou, he deterred Zhang Pu and Yang Yi and others with his knowledge."

"Later, Yang Yi traveled with Qing Yang, hoping that Qing Yang could enter Donglin Academy, but he was rejected by Qing Yang, and the matter was over, after the Nanzhili Township Test, Gu Menglin, one of the founders of the Ying Society, also withdrew from the Ying Society, it is said that the relationship between Gu Menglin and Yang Yi is extraordinary, why did he quit the Ying Society, it is intriguing to ask."

"There are so many things mixed in here, which makes me dizzy, and finally the result of my analysis, that is, some people are beginning to fear Qingyang's knowledge, because they can't win over Qingyang, so they have to start doing it, removing a potential hidden danger, and I feel relieved that Qingyang's appearance is above board, always upright, and not secretly acted."

"When things come to this point, it is impossible for the Wen family to stay out of the matter, and it is impossible for the third brother and Meng Chang to stay out of the matter, and sometimes, unconsciously, it is very likely to be used by others."

"After figuring out the origin of many things, my attitude towards Donglin Academy, Yingshe and Fushe has been completely subverted, if they want to use such an attitude to treat students who are unwilling to join them, then they will eventually fall into their own narrow-mindedness, and they will not have a future."

"The emperor hates party strife, what is the difference between Donglin Academy's practices and party strife, if they are allowed to govern the court, I don't know how many people will be suppressed, Meng Chang, when we fought against the eunuch party, our lives were almost guaranteed, do we want to see party strife so rampant again."

Zhuangyuan's knowledge is not ordinary, not to mention that Wen Zhenmeng is already in his fifties, I don't know how many winds and waves he has seen, and many things are analyzed a little, and he understands the stakes.

After Wen Zhenmeng finished speaking, Yao Ximeng looked up and spoke for a long time.

"I really don't know the joint in the middle of this matter, it seems that it is really wrong."
