Chapter 61: Surprise

A leaf falls and knows that the world is autumn, Wen Ye walked on the winding path with brisk steps, this is the first time she visited the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion alone, the scenery here is really as the evening Zhao said, like the garden of the Kunning Palace. The leaves of the plane tree are the first to wither in autumn, and the yellow leaves swirl in the wind, with a trace of helplessness and reluctance, and say goodbye to the big tree that was once one. She was attracted by this bleak and bleak parting atmosphere for a while, and began to feel sad and sad.

"The spring breeze peach and plum blossoms bloom, and the autumn rain when the sycamore leaves fall. There are many autumn grasses in the south of Xigong, and the fallen leaves are full of red and do not sweep."

Wen Ye chanted poetry and sadness, picked up a sycamore leaf and held it above his head, the golden palm-sized leaf was very beautiful. After the autumn wind passed, the sycamore leaves in his hand were swept up by the wind, and then fell at the feet of a man in blue brocade.

"The third sister also started to sing poems?"

Wen Ye raised his head when he heard the sound, Wen Jian stood up with his hands in his hands and walked towards her with a radiant look, less than half a month after returning from Liangzhou, he had already recovered his former demeanor.

"Why is the second brother here today?"

Wen Ye greeted him with a smile, and the previous melancholy was swept away.

"What? Can't I come?"

The corners of Wen Jian's mouth curled, he was personally invited to the house by Mo Yan today, saying that he wanted to surprise her.

"Bixiao is not here today."

Wen Ye pursed his lips, Wen Jian didn't know what he was thinking, I don't know what happened to the two of them in the desert, this time Bixiao came back from Liangzhou and no longer rejected his wishes, but if he wanted to hold the beauty as he wished, he still needed to continue to persevere.

"My good third sister, you really understand me."

Wen Jianyan smiled bitterly, Bixiao has been so busy with the affairs of the "Mid-Levels Pavilion" that he has not seen anyone in the past few days, and he is not good at dwelling too much, and he really misses the days of Liangzhou.

"And what are you here for?"

Wen Ye was puzzled, on weekdays, the two of them made an appointment to talk outside about the Wen family's business, and rarely went directly to the Hou Mansion to find her without being told.

"The third sister comes with me, take you to the main hall to meet someone, and you will know everything."

"Who?"

Wen Ye's brows furrowed slightly, Wen Jian had always been honest with her, but today's speech was a betrayal. Wen Jian smiled without saying a word, strode ahead to lead the way, and gossiped casually.

"Why did the third sister get up sad and sad?"

"Remembering something old."

Wen Ye smiled faintly and followed closely, the word "old things" aroused Wen Jian's curiosity. Since Wen Yan went to the Imperial Medical Bureau on an errand, he often talked to him about a lot of things he had seen and heard in the palace. The poems recited by Wen Ye clearly depicted the desolation and loneliness of the cold palace, and how could her mother have anything to do with the cold palace after she was a country, so she was interested for a while.

"Leng Gong is very unfamiliar with the third sister, what can he do?"

Wen Ye bit his lower lip, looked up at the tall plane tree, and said with a gloomy expression about the bitter secrets of the deep courtyard of the palace.

"I remember that before my mother entered the palace, there was a concubine living in Kunning Palace, it is said that the plane trees in the courtyard were planted by her own hands, Kunning Palace was originally the residence of the queens of the past dynasties, and for some reason it became the cold palace of the concubine, and then the concubine was martyred with the emperor, and the father succeeded to the throne and married his mother, which made the Kunning Palace return to its former glory."

"I didn't expect the noble Kunning Hall to have such a bitter secret, it's really emotional."

Wen Jian unconsciously slowed down, Wen Ye sighed lightly and then smiled with relief, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and the harem concubines are jealous and jealous.

"This is what the old grandmother of Kunning Palace said and I heard when I was a child, and I can't remember the name of the concubine grandmother for too long."

The two of them paced slowly, and before they knew it, they had crossed the courtyard to the main hall of the Hou Mansion, and Wen Chen ran out of the main hall with his arms outstretched.

"Third sister!"

"Fourth brother!"

Wen Ye hugged Wen Chen in his arms tightly, and the two of them really thought about it after not seeing each other for a long time.

"You want to kill me, no wonder two

Brother spoke mysteriously today, it turned out that he brought you here, this is to surprise me!"

"My sister-in-law brought us here."

Wen Jian finally separated the two, and Wen Chen held his mouth and glared at Wen Jian with a dissatisfied expression. Wen Ye smiled and pinched Wen Chen's round face, seeing that he was a little harder than before, so he was relieved.

"Right now, in late summer and early autumn, it's the time for the academy to recruit students, can the White Horse Academy get in touch?"

Wen Ye took Wen Chen's hand and went to the main hall, Wen Jian followed, and the three of them stepped into the main hall one after the other. Mo Yan has his left hand behind his back, and his right hand is playing with a white jade wrench, the jade is delicate and warm, and it looks like a good Hetian jade.

"The third lady doesn't have to worry about it, I have already arranged the academy, can you be interested in going together?"

Mo Yan said and walked closer, Wen Chen timidly hid behind Wen Ye, his chin lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at him. Wen Ye smiled happily, Wen Chen, who had been hearty since he was a child, was actually shy, which was unusual.

"Xiao Chen is a little shy, I thank you on his behalf."

The corners of Mo Yan's mouth curved, and he leaned over and whispered softly in her ear.

"Thank you?"

The warm snort made Wen Ye unconsciously dodge, and the tense atmosphere between the two spread instantly.

"Well, thank you too."

Mo Yan raised his hand and pinched Wen Ye's chin and kissed her the mouth. Wen Chen was so frightened that he directly let go of Wen Ye's hand, and ran to Wen Jian in three steps and two steps.

"Don't look at indecent acts."

Wen Jian reached out to cover his eyes, Wen Ye was stunned for a moment, Mo Yan let go of her hand that was embedded in her chin, and looked at her reddish lips with great satisfaction.

"Don't say thank you to me."

"You're crazy, Fourth Brother looks at that."

Wen Ye came back to his senses, hurriedly covered his mouth, and his other hand clenched into a fist, hammering his chest in disbelief.

"If the third lady minds, you should remember it in the future."

Wen Ye was noncommittal, it was really unreasonable to say that Xie Zi was going to punish her, but his words had been said to her a long time ago, and he didn't refuse at that time, which really made people speechless.

The autumn wind stained the maple trees on both sides of the academy, the steps in front of the White Horse Academy were washed exceptionally clean, and the little scholars swept away the fallen leaves.

"Yellow, red, and purple greenstones fall in love, between high and low pines and bamboos near and far. The mountains are not old after autumn, and Lingfeng is a child."

The sound of Lang Lang's poetry came from the academy, and everyone looked at Cheng Nuanxin, who had not been seen for many days.

"Brother Cheng, why are you there?"

Wen Jian stepped forward and greeted Cheng Nuanxin familiarly, and the two chatted enthusiastically.

"Such a lively thing, how can I have it!"

Cheng Nuanxin greeted everyone into the academy with a grin, Mo Yan deliberately slowed down and walked at the back, Cheng Nuanxin immediately understood, and asked the scholars of the academy to lead Wen Ye and them in front, and turned around and retreated to the end.

"Brother Mo is not righteous, and he doesn't get together when he comes back after walking for so long, you have married a lady and forgotten your brother. I've done a good job for you, so it's worth Brother Mo's drunken immortal building."

Cheng Nuanxin touched Mo Yan with his elbow, and complained to Mo Yan for a while, with an expression of lack of beating.

"Really?"

Mo Yan pretended to punch him in the abdomen, Cheng Nuanxin immediately changed his face and hurriedly dodged.

"Young and poor, drunk in the fairy building at night, call them all."

Mo Yan smiled and raised his fist to hit Cheng Nuanxin's shoulder, Cheng Nuanxin giggled, raised his hand and weakly returned the punch.

"Okay! Just wait for your words!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, many years of best friends do not need too many words, one look can read what is in their hearts, such a tacit understanding is precious in this flashy and troubled world.

"How's this one? Not bad!"

Cheng Nuanxin led Wen Chen into a spacious dormitory, where pen, ink, paper, and inkstones were neatly placed on the desk, and the incense burner in front of the bed was burning with a good smell of fruit.

"Very good, I like it."

Wen Chenhuan

The room went round and round, and the joy was overflowing, and Wen Jian smiled brightly when he saw him so happy.

Cheng Nuanxin came to Wen Ye's side and said to her in a low voice.

"Mrs. Wen, this used to be Brother Mo's dormitory, but I did it on purpose!"

"Thank you, Cheng Gongzi has a heart."

Wen Ye smiled happily, hearing him say this, he had a little more different feelings for this room, imagining the scene where Mo Yan sat in front of the bookcase when he was young and practiced calligraphy. At that time, he was young and talented, and he still had black hair like silk, but unfortunately now he has silver hair, and I don't know why......

"Zicheng, Xinzheng."

A middle-aged man dressed as a master stepped into the house, and Mo Yan, who was standing by the window, came back to his senses and greeted Cheng Nuanxin respectfully.

"Feast Master."

The person who came was the banquet master of the academy, Yan Qing's father, he was the enlightenment master of Mo Yan and Cheng Nuanxin, and he was promoted to the head of the White Horse Academy a few days ago, but the two of them still used to call him the banquet master.

"It's good that Zicheng is married! Xinzheng is going to work harder!"

The banquet master said very directly, and Cheng Nuanxin grinned perfunctorily.

"This is the choice, Qing'er often mentions you to me, it's really magnificent."

The banquet master set his eyes on Wen Jian, the tall figure was very distinguishable in the crowd, and his son once told him that Wen Jian was a delicate person, if he was not born in a medical family and turned into a businessman, he would definitely have something to do in the court.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I'm going to have to bother Uncle Yan to take care of my little brother in the future."

Wen Jian bowed, and when the banquet master saw that he was modest and polite, he unconsciously wanted to say a few more words.

"I read Wen Xiaogongzi's article, his qualifications are good, and it will not be a problem to become a jinshi in the future."

Wen Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, if the Wen family could produce a scholar, it would be a great thing to shine on the lintel.

"Thank you for your praise."

Wen Chen stepped forward respectfully and bowed to the banquet master to show his gratitude and respect. Master Yan immediately helped him up and replied with a little humility.

"If you want to thank you, brother-in-law Mo, these are all things he asked Cheng Gongzi to do before he left Beijing, to be honest, I really didn't help much."

"No!"

Wen Chen said loudly, everyone in the room was startled, and Master Yan lowered his body to look at him, and asked patiently and softly.

"Why?"

Wen Chen couldn't speak, and he couldn't say that the third sister couldn't say thank you to her brother-in-law, otherwise her brother-in-law would "punish" her harshly......
