Chapter 51: Encounter

After making a wish, Wang Wen stood up from the statue of Kui Xing and patted the corner of his clothes.

"Isn't the noble man here, over there in Wenchang Temple."

He looked around, as if he was looking for something, but in the end he didn't find anything, Wang Wen couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he was about to get up and leave the main hall and continue to rush towards Wenchang Pavilion, when suddenly his eyes froze.

He hurriedly walked to a fairly complete table on the side, and looked at what was in front of him, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

There was something on the table that he couldn't take his eyes off anymore.

"It's a candlestick. It still looks new, and the candles haven't burned yet. ”

His fingers lightly swiped on the candlestick, looking at the smooth fingers, Wang Wen's eyes couldn't help but show joy.

"There is no dust on the table, there are really people in the temple!"

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help beating violently, feeling that he was only one step away from finding the nobleman, what was he going out alone in the middle of the night? Isn't it just that you want to find a noble person!

At this moment, a small whimper sounded, Wang Wen listened to it, this voice was like a cry, it seemed that there were countless unsatisfactory and helpless hidden in it, which made people feel a trace of sadness in their hearts. Just like a woman is crying sadly, there are thousands of grievances in her heart that cannot be told.

Wang Wen listened to it for a while, and finally determined the direction.

He got up and followed the sound and walked towards the back of the temple, where there were ruins and broken walls everywhere, and from time to time creatures such as black magpies and bats flew up, and the cobwebs were connected layer by layer, like a large web, trying to wrap him in it.

Wang Wen couldn't take care of it, and walked along the corridor, his voice became clearer and clearer, Wang Wen was sure in his heart, knowing that he had found the right direction, his pace suddenly sped up a little, and the urgency in his heart became stronger and stronger, as if it was about to overflow.

Walking forward, he soon came to a dilapidated two-story building, looked at the lights on the second floor, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked towards the stairs. Walking up the withered wooden ladder, Wang Wen soon came to a brightly lit place.

On the second floor is a rather spacious hall, dilapidated, but quite neat, and looks out of place in this dilapidated Kuixing Temple. In the center of the hall was a broken wooden table with a candlestick that glowed softly, and a woman dressed in white was sitting at the table, weeping, and a red wrapper was placed on a chair not far from the table.

Seeing the slender woman in front of him and hearing the heartbreaking whimper from her mouth, Wang Wen suddenly felt a sense of pity in his heart, and stepped forward and said, "Why is the girl crying, but what is the difficulty?" ”

When the woman heard Wang Wen's voice and found that there was someone, she immediately raised her head, saw that it was a man, hurriedly left the table, came to the window, and looked at Wang Wen timidly, like a frightened little animal.

At this time, a full moon rose outside the window, half-hanging in front of the window, and the white moonlight reflected on the woman's body. The silver-white moonlight with the woman's delicate temperament and a pair of moist beautiful eyes looks so charming and moving.

Looking at the woman with tears on her face in front of her, like a frightened little beast, Wang Wen felt a heartache for no reason.

He was about to speak, but the woman quickly picked up her luggage and walked quickly downstairs.

didn't give Wang Wen a chance to speak at all.

When the woman passed by Wang Wen's side, a strange fragrance wafted into his nose, and he couldn't help but show a little intoxication on his face.

When he came to his senses, the woman had gone away and disappeared, Wang Wen couldn't help but feel stunned for a while, and then he remembered that this woman was the woman he had met in a hurry under the Jinyang Temple before, and he didn't expect that in just a few days, the two sides would meet again.

"I didn't expect to meet her here, is it fate?"

Wang Wen looked down at the table where the woman was sitting alone before, a white square scarf fell there, his eyes lit up, and he quickly took the square scarf in his hand, and when the square scarf was in his hand, a moist touch came, thinking that it was the woman's tears.

He couldn't help but put the square scarf in front of his nose.

"Is she my nobleman?"

It's a pity that the beauty has gone away, and Wang Wen can't verify it, seeing that it is getting late, he has no mood to continue to go to Wenchang Pavilion to find nobles, and he frustrated picked up the lantern and walked towards the way he came.

Almost a stick of incense, Wang Wen returned to the other courtyard in a daze.

Under the lantern in front of the door, Ah Xi was standing and waiting in front of the door, before coming out, he promised the old lady and the young lady to take care of the young master, and now Wang Wen went out alone, he was not allowed to follow, he was very uneasy, and there was no good way, so he had to wait for Wang Wen to come back at the gate of the other courtyard.

Ah Xi stood in front of the door, looking at the lights that were approaching in the distance, and after confirming that it was Wang Wen who came back with the lantern, Ah Xi instantly put his mind at ease, walked forward quickly, and said, "Young master, you are back." ”

As he spoke, he took the lantern from Wang Wen's hand.

Looking down, he couldn't help asking, "Young Master, what is this?" ”

Hearing the voice of the porter Ah Xi, Wang Wen came back to his senses, looked at his hand, hurriedly put away the white square scarf, and said, "It's nothing, Ah Xi, is the backyard arranged?" ”

Hearing that Wang Wen didn't want to say more, Ah Xi didn't ask any more, but replied: "Young master, the backyard has been arranged, I'll take you there." ”

After speaking, he walked in front with a lantern to lead the way, and the two soon came to a courtyard gate.

Looking at the layout in the courtyard, Wang Wen nodded with satisfaction, and said to Ah Xi: "Yes, the layout is very good, Ah Xi, you will tell the cook and the housekeeper in the other courtyard later, and you will not be allowed to come to the backyard without my permission in the future, and I will study hard here during this time." ”

It's not been long since I left my hometown, and I still have to hurry, and there is not much time left, since I haven't met a nobleman, everything can only depend on my own efforts.

In fact, Wang Wen's knowledge is not bad, and it can even be said that he is quite excellent, otherwise it would not have been possible to pass the children's examination in his teens, but when he was older, he was not as calm down and studied hard as he was when he was a child, so he did not pass the exam for so many years.

Hearing Wang Wen's order, Ah Xi nodded and said, "Don't worry, young master, I'll go tell Steward Chen later, and let him order the servants in the courtyard." ”

He also knew that Wang Wen came to the other courtyard this time to study quietly, so it was naturally better to be quiet. He grew up in the Wang family since he was a child, and if Wang Wen can pass the exam, he will naturally be happy in his heart. Moreover, Wang Wen is the master of the Wang family, he is a servant, and naturally has no opinion on Wang Wen's orders. It's like although he wanted to go out with Wang Wen before, Wang Wen didn't allow it, and although he was worried, he could only obey orders.

Wang Wen nodded and added: "You also go back to the mansion, you have been serving as the porter in the mansion, and this aspect of dealing with people is your forte, and there is nothing you need to take care of on my side." ”

Hearing Wang Wen's order, Ah Xi thought that there was really nothing to do here, so he nodded and agreed.

Watching Ah Xi leave, Wang Wen locked the courtyard door, and then went straight to the study.

The Wang family was originally a wealthy family in Jinyang City, and the family had a rich collection of books, and they have been adding to it over the years, which has greatly increased the number of books.

Just the study room in the annex has a full collection of books with four tall bookshelves.

In the middle of the study is a pear yellow desk and a mahogany chair.

Looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, Wang Wen took a copy of "Analysis of the Five Classics" from a bookshelf, and was about to sit down to read it silently when a rapid knock sounded on the door.

Wang Wen couldn't help frowning: "Didn't you ask Ah Xi to tell your subordinates not to disturb me?" ”

Although he was a little annoyed, Wang Wen still stood up and walked towards the courtyard, he went straight to the back door, opened the door, and suddenly a beautiful shadow walked into the courtyard in a panic, looking at this person, Wang Wen couldn't help but be happy.

"It's you, girl!"

The woman in white in front of him was the person he had seen in Kuixing Temple before.

Hearing Wang Wen's voice, the woman looked up and couldn't help but let out an exclamation when she saw Wang Wen.

"It's you, a disciple!"

After speaking, she walked quickly to the back door, Wang Wen saw it, and hurriedly blocked the door.

He said, "Dengzi? The girl may have misunderstood, and she has only met with the girl three times. ”

The woman's words made Wang Wen very puzzled, recalling his relationship with this girl, he hadn't done anything excessive! Why do you call yourself a disciple?

The woman saw that Wang Wen was blocking the way, and knew that she couldn't go out for the time being, so her beautiful eyes condensed slightly, and she said: "You also said that you are not a disciple, when you were on the street before, you held people's hands for no reason, and you are still a scholar, don't you know whether men and women are intimate or not?" ”

The woman's eyes were full of shame, obviously very dissatisfied with Wang Wen's previous actions.

Hearing the woman's words, Wang Wen thought of the situation when the two met on the street before, and it was indeed his own fierce wave at that time. At the same time, he also guessed why when he was in the ancient temple, the woman ran away when she saw him.

"The girl is misunderstood, in the next ordinary will never do such a thing, the first time we met, I was shocked to see the girl in the next, so I showed an ugly state, and I asked the girl to understand."

Obviously, the woman didn't believe Wang Wen's words, she came to Wang Wen and said to Wang Wen: "You get out of the way, I want to go out!" ”

Just as Wang Wen hesitated, there were bursts of footsteps outside the door.

"Chase after her, she must be nearby!"

"She can't run far!"

"Madame told that if you can't bring back the living, you can also bring back the dead!"

Hearing the words outside the door, the woman's face instantly turned pale, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, her face showed a frightened expression, and the whole person was stunned in place.

Looking at the woman's appearance, Wang Wen felt a pain in his heart.

When the voice was far away, Wang Wen said, "Girl, are those people outside looking for you?" If the girl has no place to go, it is better to live here first, my palace is also a big family in this Jinyang City, and they dare not trespass in no matter how bold they are. ”

Hearing Wang Wen's words, the woman couldn't help but hesitate, with an expression of wanting to leave, but not daring to leave.

Wang Wen obviously saw it, and continued: "The girl must have come here alone, although this courtyard is located in the east of Jinyang City, but there are still occasional wild beasts like wolves at night, even if the girl is not afraid of being caught by those people, she must be careful of wild beasts in the middle of the night." Why don't you rest here for the night and make a choice tomorrow? ”

In fact, Wang Wen knew that the vicinity of the courtyard was very safe, and there were no wild beasts at all, and even if there were, it was just some little rabbits or something, but the woman in front of him might be his nobleman, and in order to be able to keep the other party, he could only make this decision.

Of course, if the other party insists on leaving, he has no choice, after all, the law of the mirror country stipulates that illegal detention is sentenced to three years.

Xu was afraid that there would really be a beast outside, maybe she was afraid of being caught by someone outside, the woman hesitated, then nodded and said, "This will be troublesome to the child." ”
