Chapter 66: The Night Scholar
"No, I haven't been there for a while." The man replied softly, then seemed to take Feng Qingyun's hand, and said, "I'm busy preparing for the scientific examination these days, and I don't have much time to come out to accompany you, you won't be angry with me, right?" β
"Of course not," Feng Qingyun's tone was full of joy, "You can be so motivated, it's too late for me to be happy, when you will be named on the gold list in the future, you can go and propose marriage to my father, I look forward to that day day and night." β
It turned out that this person was a scholar, and he was going to participate in the scientific examination in three months, since Feng Qingyun didn't dare to let people know, he wanted to meet him in the middle of the night, and said that he would ask him to come to propose marriage after the title of the gold list, but it is conceivable that this person's family background is mostly poor.
Feng Qingfang thought so.
"What if, what if I don't get into the Sanding League?" The man was a little unsure when he spoke.
Feng Qingyun said: "How can it be, with your talent, even if you are not the champion, you should be the leader, how can you fail the test?" "She has a lot of confidence in her lover.
The man sighed, helplessness between his words.
"You have been raised in the boudoir all the year round, and you don't know anything about the way in this officialdom, if the candidates want to get ahead through the imperial examination, it is not enough to have talent and learning."
"Talent is not the first? So what else should there be? Feng Qingyun asked a little naΓ―vely.
Feng Qingfang wondered if she really didn't know or didn't know, with her years of fighting to protect herself, the city government was very deep, but she didn't even understand this?
"It's money." The man sighed again, "Now many candidates have begun to privately cling to the powerful people in the DPRK and China to pave the way for the future, you know, I am just a poor scholar who came out of a poor country, and even food and clothing are a problem in the capital, where is there any money to honor those officials?" I think I'm probably hopeless. β
Feng Qingyun seemed to finally understand, and after being silent for a while, he said: "I have a lot of savings over the years, I can take them all out, and I will give you some money, you wait, I will go and get it." β
"How's that going to work? Yun'er, how can I ask for your money? The man immediately refused, "My manly husband, people are poor, even if they fall off the list in the end, they can't take your money." β
"Do you still need to be so clear between you and me?" Feng Qingyun was a little displeased, "I'm willing to give you the money, besides, I don't lack anything at home, I don't need silver at all, wouldn't it be better for you to use it on the blade?" β
The man still resolutely refused.
"No, I can't."
"Liang Yushu!" Feng Qingyun raised her voice angrily, "Do you want to watch me marry someone else before you are willing?" If you don't pass the fame test, my father will never agree to you and me being together. β
Feng Qingyun thinks that this is right, although Feng Qingyun is a concubine, but she is also the daughter of the dignified Dingguo Gong, and Yijiexiu wants to marry her, that is a joke.
Miss Qianjin married a poor Xiucai who had nothing, and changed from a beautiful lady to a bad wife, does Dingguo still want to be faced?
Liang Yushu said dejectedly: "Yes, I am a poor boy, why should I marry the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion?" I'm just delusional. β
"Yushu, I didn't mean that, I don't care about any family background, you know this." Feng Qingyun hurriedly expressed his intentions, "But I don't care, but my father will value it, there is no way to change it, I just want to be with you, so I give you money for our future, not to look down on you, do you understand?" β
"Yun'er, I understand your intentions," Liang Yushu hugged Feng Qingyun, his words were full of pity, "It is the greatest blessing in Liang Yushu's life to meet you, but I still can't ask for your money." β
After a moment of silence, Feng Qingyun said, "Even if I lend you the money first, and then return it to me when you raise enough money later, it's always okay, right?" β
"This ......" Liang Yushu was still hesitating, but Feng Qingyun was in a hurry, broke away from his embrace, pretended to be angry and said: "Since you treat me as an outsider like this, we have nothing to talk about, so it's better to go our separate ways from now on." β
After that, the gesture is about to leave.
Liang Yushu hurriedly pulled her and sighed, "Yun'er...... Okay, then according to what you say, but let's say it, I will definitely pay you back a penny in the future. β
"You know, I won't give it to you for nothing." Feng Qingyun's tone finally turned brisk, and he hugged Liang Yushu.
After a while, the two separated, Feng Qingyun turned around and went back to the Gongfu to get the money, Liang Yushu waited under the banyan tree, and Feng Qing, who was not far away, squatted in the dark corner, and couldn't help but make up the love story of the scholar and the Qinglou woman in many film and television dramas.
The scholar was poor and destitute and looked down upon by his classmates, but the girl in the Qinglou had a discerning eye, fell in love with him, and devoted all her strength to support him and help him take the imperial examination.
The scholar lived up to his expectations in high school in one fell swoop, and the title of the gold list, the girl in the Qinglou thought that she had finally come to the bitter end and could be the wife of the official family, but when she turned her head, the scholar married Jin Zhi Yuye, and turned her face and did not recognize people.
In desperation, the girl in the green house committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.
The plot of the first half of this part is very similar to Feng Qingyun and Liang Yushu, of course, the difference is that Feng Qingyun is a daughter, not a Qinglou woman.
However, it is difficult to say whether Liang Yushu is an ungrateful lover.
I don't know if there are too many doubts, Feng Qingfang always feels that Liang Yushu seems to be deliberately guiding Feng Qingyun in that conversation.
After about a stick of incense, Feng Qingyun hurriedly returned, carrying a large package on his shoulder.
"Yushu, this is all my savings, adding up to at least 10,000 taels, you can take it quickly."
Under the pressure of the Lin family, several young ladies in the mansion were so poor except for Feng Qingwu, but Feng Qingyun learned from the memory of the original owner that Feng Qingyun's grandfather's family was a wealthy businessman, and although the people over there only came to see her once in a few years, they would bring a lot of good things every time they came, so it was not surprising that she had so much savings.
Liang Yushu said gratefully: "Yun'er, thank you, your great kindness, Yushu will never dare to forget." β
Feng Qingyun said: "Don't say such outrageous words, as long as you study hard and work hard to get into the Sanding Jia, what I do is worth it." β
The two talked for a while, and then reluctantly went back to their respective places.
Feng Qingfang walked out of the corner, shook his head with emotion, and sighed to the moon: "A woman in love has no brains, this Feng Qingyun will suffer a loss, alas, ......"
Tonight's game, originally Lin and Helan Chi had already carefully planned, and the Lin family used the bait to lure the phoenix to take the bait, leading her to the east of the city to kill her, and forever get rid of the troubles, I thought that this time I would definitely succeed, but at a critical time, someone came out of the bad thing, and the Lin family, who missed again, was so angry that he smashed several vases.
"Rou'er, don't be too angry, you're angry, you can't kill it today, there will be a chance in the future, it's just a yellow-haired girl, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it?" He Lanchi walked over to convince him.
Lin Shi said angrily: "But this is the third time, does that little slut have nine lives?" β
"She's just lucky, Rou'er doesn't have to worry, let's think about it in the long run."
"But I'm worried that she's spreading the word about us......"
Helan Chi was calm, and said with a chuckle: "If you say it, someone has to believe it, Feng Qingyan has no certificate in her hand, outsiders will only think that she deliberately slandered you and me, but damaged her own reputation, otherwise she would have said it everywhere a long time ago, and wait now?" β
Listening to his words, Lin felt that it was reasonable, so he was relieved.
The two struggled for a while and began to discuss the next countermeasures.
After this night, the Lin family still expressed her "concern" to Feng Qingfang as always, Feng Qingyan knew that she was doing it on purpose to show Feng Heng, and she didn't want Feng Heng to feel that she was unreasonable, so she cooperated.
Whatever the Lin family sent, she took it all, just in case, she didn't need to eat it.
And Feng Qingyun, as usual, "got sick" from time to time, hid in his own small courtyard, did not go out of the door, and was so low-key that he couldn't be more low-key, just so as not to attract the attention of the Lin family.
However, some people like to provoke right and wrong, if you don't go to her, she will come to you, and the Lin family is obviously this kind of person.
That night, when it was almost time, Feng Qingyun had been lying in the bed for a long time, and the Lin family also sent Mama Zhang to come over to spread the word.
"Mama came late at night, I don't know what happened? Aunt Mo Feilin has something to order? β
Mama Zhang looked at her quietly, and said with a smile: "Auntie does have something to discuss with the eldest lady, but because her body is not very convenient for the past two days, it is inconvenient to come, so I also invite the eldest lady to go." β
"Now?" Feng Qingyun was a little frightened, usually the Lin family called her over, especially at this time, there would definitely be no good thing.
"Yes, I'm tired of the eldest lady." Mama Zhang's words seemed to be very polite, but the actual tone was commanding.
"Okay, Mamma wait." Feng Qingyun had no choice but to redress, dress up a little, and came to the Lin family's dormitory with apprehension.
Lin had not yet washed, he was still dressed during the day, his eyes were bright and penetrating, and he fell on Feng Qingyun, as if he could see her through.
"Aunt Lin."
"Miss, please take a seat first." Lin pointed to the round stool next to him and said with a smile.
Feng Qingyun sat down as she said, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
The better Lin's attitude is, the more it shows that nothing good will happen next.
"I wonder what my aunt is talking to me about?"
"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you," Lin poured a glass of water and handed it over, the smile on his face deepened, and suddenly asked, "The eldest lady is almost eighteen years old this year, right?" β
"Eighteen in two months." Feng Qingyun smiled at the corner of his mouth, and replied obediently, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
Lin bowed slightly: "You should have married a long time ago at your age, Aunt Fang died early, leaving only a daughter like you, I should have taken good care of you for her, but I have been busy all these years, and some facts are not taken care of, resulting in neglect of your marriage, which is not right for me." β
"I wonder if you have a sweetheart?"
