12, fiancée

Wenren's Mansion.

In the pavilion corridor of the inner house, a young man sat on a stone bench and looked at the book that had just been bound in his hand, and said in his mouth: "These poems don't look much different from the last time, how can you be at these levels in this poetry meeting." ”

Sitting opposite him was a gentle woman in a red pomegranate skirt, sipping tea, and said unhurriedly: "If there is really a masterpiece, the West Garden Poetry Club would have been famous all over the world." ”

The young man smiled: "Aren't there any famous poets in Luoyang, haven't you invited them?" ”

The gentle woman said: "I have invited a few people before, but the best poems are not in the vernacular, and the works of those famous talents at the poetry meeting are also lacking a lot of charm, and some people are arrogant and disdainful of my poetry." ”

The young man looked at the book in his hand and sighed: "It seems that in this world, there are very few literati like the Nanzhuang monks." ”

The gentle woman said: "It is already a blessing for Xuantang to be able to produce a South Window layman." ”

The boy continued to look through the book full of poems, and suddenly his mouth snorted.

"One piece, two pieces...... This is written by Yu Huanzhang? ”

He looked at the signature, a look of surprise on his face.

The gentle woman did not speak, but drank tea quietly.

The young man savored the words back and forth, and laughed suddenly: "It's a little interesting, Yu Huanzhang is enlightened." ”

He finished reading the entire book, thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Sister, I heard that you also invited Shentu Junshi this time?" ”

This young man is the son-in-law of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who hears people and knows Jingheng.

"Hmm." Wenren Jinping replied softly.

"Is Shentu Junshi as rumored?" Wenren Jingheng asked curiously.

Wenren Jinping pondered: "What is he rumored to be?" ”

"It is rumored that Shentu Junshi is the same as his father, he is perverse and fierce, and he kills people without blinking."

Wen Jinping secretly said in his heart, this rumor is not groundless.

She remembered the poem written by Shentu Junshi, and said after a moment of silence: "He didn't talk much at the poetry meeting, and I can't judge it. ”

"Oh." Wenren Jingheng didn't doubt it, and after putting down the book, he leaned his cheeks on the stone table boringly.

He sighed long: "It's really boring, I also want to go to Chang'an to play, Huan Ting is not in his father's care, and now he must be dying chic." ”

Wenren Jinping raised his eyebrows: "Have you finished your homework today?" ”

Hearing this, Jing Heng pursed his lips, got up and left the pavilion: "Don't do it, don't do it, go out of the house to play today." ”

Wenren Jinping said: "You're not afraid that your father will teach you?" ”

"Dad has a guest today, I'll just come back in the afternoon."

Watching her stubborn brother go away, Wen Ren Jinping sighed helplessly, she hoped that her brother would be more sensible, but her brother didn't listen to her, and she couldn't discipline her.

Wenren Jinping picked up the book on the stone table and saw the four sentences signed by Yu Huanzhang.

On the day of the poetry meeting, the handsome young man who had been by Yu Huanzhang's side flashed in her mind, and she didn't know how to make such a wonderful essay in a short period of time.

This book records all the poems of the last poetry meeting, except for the one in Shentu Juanshi.

She also felt vulgar about the poem, she didn't have any ill feelings towards Shentu Junshi, but the other party's dissolute performance at the poetry meeting really made her dislike.

Wenren Jinping is very confident in herself, she thinks it is normal for a man to want to possess herself, but at least it shouldn't be so rude.

But Shentu Junshi's father is Shentu Win, and Wenren Jinping remembered that day when he overheard his father's words about his family's situation.

She also wanted to help her father with some of the burden.

Yu Jingtang's car stopped at the main gate of Wenren's Mansion, and An Yan got out of the car with Yu Jingtang, it was the first time for him to walk through the main gate of this kind of rich and noble family, although it was not as magnificent as the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it was also extraordinary.

After Yu Jingtang mentioned his marriage that day, An Yan also briefly inquired about the people around him.

The only information I got from the subordinates was that this person had been a waiter in the Ministry of Rites for ten years, and his official position had never changed in ten years, he had not been promoted, and he had not been demoted.

At the main gate of Wenren's Mansion, the servants were lined up in two rows on the left and right, and An Yan walked in with Yu Jingtang, and saw a rich middle-aged man greeting them, with an approachable smile on his face, his body staggered when he walked, and the fat on his face was also trembling there.

The middle-aged man greeted Yu Jingtang, and called out in his mouth: "Jingtang!" ”

An was a little confused, the name Wenren Yunzhi was too elegant and elegant, plus he was still Wenren Jinping's father, he thought that the other party was a handsome and extraordinary person.

But looking at the man in front of him with a wide body and a kind face, An Yan was a little suspicious that Wenren Jinping was his own child.

Yu Jingtang and Wenren Yunzhi did not have any hypocritical politeness after meeting, but just called each other's names, and Yu Jingtang introduced An Yan.

"This is my nephew Anyi, the son of an old friend of mine."

Hearing this, Yun Yan looked An Yi up and down, and his eyes narrowed and he couldn't see it.

"This is my friend's advice, you can also call him uncle." Yu Jingtang said to An Yan again.

An Yan immediately saluted respectfully: "My nephew has seen Uncle Wenren." ”

Hearing Yu Jingtang let An Yan call his uncle, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, he looked a little festive, which made people feel bad.

This may be his future father-in-law, and his posture is extremely low.

"Okay, okay, let's go inside and talk first."

Wen Ren nodded his head, and then led the two of them across the courtyard and into the living room.

"I didn't expect you Yu Jingtang to have friends." Wen Renyun said in a mocking tone.

"I haven't seen you mention it."

Yu Jingtang muttered: "A long time ago, his father An Guanglie had a life-saving grace for me before his death, and not long ago his family suffered an accident, so he came to me from Yanzhou to Luoyang, and was robbed along the way. ”

"Blessed and fateful." Wen Ren Yun nodded and said, looked at An Yan and said with a smile: "If you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, your uncle is the biggest official in Luoyang." ”

After speaking, he suddenly thought again: "Are there already thieves in the Yanzhou territory?" ”

In the prosperous Xuantang Dynasty, the people were rich, everyone could be fed and clothed, and no one wanted to fall into the grass at all, but the natural disasters in successive years have harmed the people.

Yu Jingtang frowned and said: "It is estimated that not only Yanzhou, but also the prefectures and counties covered by the disaster may have this situation, and the local officials will not report it, and they are afraid of being the first example." ”

"What about the Queen of Heaven?"

"I have privately sent people to various states and counties to investigate in detail, and when I get the details, I will go to the queen of heaven."

An was tired of hearing the two of them suddenly talk about political affairs, and she didn't care about herself, so she sat there motionless.

"I've heard that yesterday the Xuanjia Guard killed a lot of people outside the city." Wen Ren Yun said again.

"The new group of homeless people did not follow the order when putting porridge and had a conflict, so Xuanjiawei took action." Yu Jingtang said that he knew this kind of thing in detail, and even knew the number of deaths, but he didn't say it.

Wen Renyun sighed: "If it doesn't rain, and the ground doesn't grow seedlings, Luoyang can provide for these refugees for one year, but can't it be for two or three years?" ”

Yu Jingtang frowned and was silent, Xuantang had not encountered such a disaster for several consecutive years in hundreds of years, which aroused countless rumors, and it was rumored that the demon queen was in power and the traitorous minister was in charge, which was contrary to heavenly principles.

This "traitorous minister", some say that Shen Tu won, and some say that he Yu Jingtang.

Most of those who said this are dead.

"Let's not talk about it yet." Yu Jingtang shook his head, pointed to An Yan's fellow Wen Yun and said.

"My nephew just turned seventeen this year, and he is not married yet."

Wen Renyun was stunned, looked at Yu Jingtang, and then looked at An Yan, and pondered there.

An couldn't help but feel a tense heart, he felt that Wen Renyun was examining himself.

Wen Ren Yun suddenly said to the servant outside the living room: "Come on, go and call the young lady." ”

After that, he looked at An Yan and asked, "Are you ready to take the test for fame?" ”

Yu Jingtang said in front of An Yan: "What, do you want him to be an official?" ”

Wen Renyun grinned: "It's good to be an official, it's good to be an official, it's better not to be an official, if you want to be a rich man, you can go to Chang'an." ”

An was tired of thinking about it, as if the other party was arranging his future path.

Wen Renyun continued to ask, "What do you think?" ”

An Yan found that Yu Jingtang was also looking at him, and said respectfully: "My nephew has no talent to enter the ranks, nor does he have any lofty ambitions, he just wants to live a stable life." ”

Wen Ren Yun nodded and suddenly laughed, and looked sideways at Yu Jingtang on the side: "This sounds a little familiar." ”

Yu Jingtang's face was calm, and he didn't say anything when he looked at An Yan.

After a while, there was a figure at the door of the living room, and An Yan turned his head to see that it was the Wenren Jinping he had seen at the poetry meeting.

Her red pomegranate dress today is much brighter than that day, and it also makes her whole person more dazzling.

"Jinping is here." Hearing this, Yun Yun beckoned to her.

Wen Ren Yun Ji was dignified and elegant, walked into the living room, and saluted Wen Ren Yun Ji and Yu Jingtang.

"I've seen Daddy, Uncle Yu."

It can be seen that the relationship between the two families is very close, Yu Jingtang and Wenren Yunzhi talk casually, and Wenren Jinping is also accustomed to seeing Yu Jingtang.

And she was visibly stunned when she raised her eyes to see An Yan sitting next to her, and then blinked curiously.

"This is your Uncle Yu's nephew An Yan, who is one year younger than you, you can call him brother for the time being."

Tentative name......

The delicate Wenren Jinping looked at An Yi who was sitting there, and suddenly felt a little absurd in his heart.

But she didn't lose her temper, and her mind flew and she spoke: "I didn't expect to meet my tired brother again." ”

"You know?" Hearing this, he said unexpectedly.

An Yan said at this time: "Yesterday at the West Garden Poetry Club, my nephew met with Brother Huanzhang...... Sister Jinping's side. ”

He felt strange in his heart, why did he suddenly call each other brother and sister.

Wen Ren Yun laughed: "You really have fate. ”

Wenren Jinping secretly paid attention to his father's expression, and smiled again: "The poems written by my brother yesterday made Jinping remember it vividly. ”

"Oh? Can a virtuous nephew also write poetry? Wen Renyun stroked his beard and smiled.

Yu Jingtang was also slightly surprised, he clearly remembered that when he asked An Yan to learn before, An Yan said that he had never even attended a private school.

An was also troublesome, so he said: "Sister Jinping should have a bad memory, the foolish brother did not compose a poem, but Brother Huanzhang wrote a poem." ”

Wen Ren Jinping had a smile on his face and continued: "That should be my mistake. ”

Can Yu Huanzhang write poetry, can Yu Jingtang and Wenren Yun Zhi know?

Wen Renyun pondered: "What kind of poem, come and listen to it." ”

Wenren Jinping bowed his head slightly, and then said in front of everyone: "The title of yesterday's poetry meeting is the scene of newly planted flowers and trees in the garden, and the content of the poem is ......."

As he spoke, he heard Jinping's voice and whispered: "One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, seven or eight pieces, nine pieces, ten pieces, countless pieces, flying into the grass and not seeing." ”

When listening to the first three sentences, Wen Renyun's face was weird, Yu Jingtang's face was even darker, and when Wen Ren Jinping chanted the last sentence, the faces of the two became stunned at the same time.

After a while, Wen Renyun admonished: "Not bad, not bad. ”

He looked at An Yan thoughtfully, then smiled again, and asked the people next to him, "What do you think?" ”

Yu Jingtang just let out a faint "um".

Wen Ren Yun laughed, seemed to have something happy, and said to Wen Ren Jinping: "Jinping, you take An Yanxian's nephew to the house for a walk, the new colored carp in the backyard pool are very beautiful, you two can go to watch together." ”

Wenren Jinping was very obedient, nodded yes, An Yiwen also got up, and after saluting Yu Jingtang and Wenren Yun, he left the living room with Wenren Jinping.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Wen Renyun said happily: "This son is beautiful." ”

There were only two of them left in the living room, and Yu Jingtang said, "It's good if you're satisfied." ”

Wen Renyun picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "You Yu Jingtang helped me so much, what am I not satisfied with, Jinping will not suffer a loss if he follows him." ”

As he spoke, he sighed again and lowered his head to drink his tea.

"My concern, but a son and a daughter on my knees, Jing Heng is a man, it's okay to suffer a little, Jinping is a weak woman, she has read books and has a high spirit, and often compares herself with the south window layman, I'm afraid she will not be able to stand it in the future."

Yu Jingtang was silent, and only said after a long time: "Don't worry, I will protect the two of them." ”

Wen Ren Yun Zhi smiled again: "What is sad, Xuan Tang can do without me Wen Ren Yun Zhi, but you can't do without you Yu Jingtang, if I exchange one person for a lifetime of peace, this is my dream when I was young." ”

Childhood dreams......

Yu Jingtang suddenly thought of what An Yan said just now.

When he was young, how could he have imagined that he would one day be the prime minister.

"I want to be the three heroes of martial arts at the beginning, only I have heard that people have been a waiter for ten years, and the hundred-year-old tribute is imminent, which is both successful and benevolent!"
