Chapter 91 Scholar

Teng Yanyun was an orphan. She had been living in a ruined temple before she met Huo Yan, and was later adopted by her grandfather. However, her grandfather died and she had no home, so she lived in a ruined temple and became a beggar.

It was not easy to be a beggar. She was hungry every day and had no money to take care of her when she was sick. No one knew whether she was warm or cold. She thought she would die in a ruined temple.

Until a year ago, she met Yu Yan and was taken home by her.

Although she calls her sister Yu Jin, strictly speaking Yu Jin is her master. The master teaches her how to read poetry, read and exercise, and also takes care of her food and accommodation and teaches her the principles of the world. She is very satisfied.

Teng Yanyun softly hummed eight hundred tunes, and he was very skilled in handling the fish, scraping the scales, processing the internal organs, removing the fishy lines, making cuts, adding oil to the hot pan, and stir-frying...

The smell of rice soon burst out from the kitchen. Teng Yanyun was busy in the kitchen, cooking out a fish, a pot of porridge, and a plate of side dishes.

"Sister, it's time to eat!"

Teng Yanyun carried the food into the room and saw that Yan Yan was still reading in front of the case. He couldn't help but step forward and take out the book. "It's too late. Stop reading. Sister, come and have dinner."

Yi Jin closed her eyes and pinched her eyebrows. She was obviously a little tired. She hummed, wiped her hands and sat down at the table.

"What did sister do today? You came back so late."

"Nothing, I went to Wang's house."

Teng Yanyun opened her eyes wide when she heard this. She looked at Yu Hu, trying to see something in Yu Hu's eyes: "Are you looking for Uncle Xing Zhi?"

Yu Yan hummed at first, then joked: "If you call me sister, how come you call Wang Xingzhi your brother?"

Teng Yanyun put the chopsticks on her hands, clasped her fingers and said, "Sister, look, you are about the same age as me, just a little older than me." She traced the distance between her fingernails with two fingers, "And Uncle Xingzhi has already

He's twenty years old, seven years older than me, why can't he be my uncle?"

Yi Yan laughed out loud, "That's not what you shouted at the beginning."

Teng Yanyun rolled her eyes and felt a little guilty. She did call Wang Xingzhi her brother at first, but recently she discovered a little secret about Wang Xingzhi.

Teng Yanyun looked at the embers carefully and asked tentatively: "Why is my sister going to Uncle Xingzhi?"

Yi Yan glanced at her and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why are you asking?"

Teng Yanyun smiled and said, "I'm curious, just ask. If my sister doesn't want to talk, forget it." Teng Yanyun said while putting vegetables into Ember's bowl, "Sister, eat quickly, or it will get cold."

Yi Jin chuckled and did not pursue Teng Yanyun's purpose. He moved the vegetables in the bowl and said, "I had a heart-to-heart talk with your brother Xingzhi...no, I had a heart-to-heart talk with your uncle Xingzhi."

"Have a heart-to-heart talk?" Teng Yanyun opened his mouth and wanted to ask what they talked about, but was patted on the head by Yan Yan, "Hurry up and eat, don't keep asking whether these things are available or not. Children, don't worry about adults' affairs."

"Sister, I'm not young anymore." Teng Yanyun couldn't help but retort, "I'm an adult."

"That's younger than me, Yanyun. I'm already eighteen years old." Yu Jin said this in a sighing tone, "That's just two digits shy of twenty. I'm getting older."

Ember said, clicking his tongue and shaking his head.

"They all call me an old girl."

Teng Yanyun grabbed the hand with the chopsticks and slapped it on the table, "Sister is not old. Are those talkative women in the village speaking ill of my sister secretly? Sister, tell me who they are, and I will go find them to settle the score!"

"Ouch!"

Teng Yanyun covered the back of his head and said, "Sister, why are you slapping me again? What should I do if I'm stupid?"

Yi Yan took back his hand slowly and said, "I still have to settle the score. My hair hasn't even grown yet. Let's eat!"

"oh."

Yu Yan took Teng Yanyun to live together in a small courtyard in the village. Yu Yan didn't like those cumbersome rules. Teng Yanyun had not learned those red tapes, and there was no such thing as "no words when eating and no words when sleeping". The two of them talked and laughed while eating.

Laughing and fussing is their daily routine.

After dinner, Teng Yanyun took over the dishwashing chores, and Yu Yan patted her and told her to go back to sleep, "Children need to sleep a little longer. Only by sleeping more can they grow taller."

"Just wash the dishes, it won't be a problem."

Teng Yanyun glanced at Yi Yan's left hand. She packed up the bowl and put it on the tray. Without giving Yi Yan time to react, she ran away with Yi Yan in her arms, "I'll do it. Sister, go to bed early!"

When all the embers were gone, she shook her head, collected the fallen debris on the table, returned to the bedroom and extinguished the light of the candlestick.

In the darkness, Yu Huan was lying on the bed with all his clothes on, lying on the unrolled quilt, with his right hand behind his head, listening to the sound of Teng Yanjun washing dishes, his eyes clear and no longer sleepy.

She couldn't help but think of the scene of negotiating with Wang Xingzhi at the Wang family.

Time goes back to before sunset.

Yi Yan received a letter from the Wang family of Shuntian Prefecture. The letter first wrote some simple greetings, and then came the purpose of the letter from the Wang family - to persuade Wang Xingzhi to fail the imperial examination next year.

That is the spring of next year.

Wang Xingzhi is from a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. His ancestral home is Shuntian Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River. Like the Cui family, he is a truly scholarly family. Throughout the ages, he has produced many famous officials and powerful officials, as well as many Confucian scholars who devoted themselves to the study of ancient ancient classics.

Wang Xingzhi is the most outstanding scholar of his generation. He should have taken the exam three years ago, but something happened during the period that prevented Wang Xingzhi from catching up.

The general examination is held every three years, and if you miss it once, you have to wait three years. The imperial examination spans all age groups, and it is truly "live until you are old and take the exam until you are old."

Wang Xingzhi was only eighteen years old at that time, and he was considered young in the imperial examination. It would be a pity to miss it once. He could afford to wait for three years.

Wang Xingzhi thought the same way. He had learned a lot in books, so he wanted to travel and gain more knowledge. However, something happened during the period that caused Wang Xingzhi to have different ideas about the imperial examination. He wrote home saying that he did not want to continue.

Participated in the imperial examination.

This letter caused a stir in the Wang family in Jiangnan. How could you do it without taking the imperial examination!

The Wang family tried to persuade him, but Wang Xingzhi wouldn't listen. He refused to take hard or soft advice. When he moved to another place, the Wang family's letters could no longer be found.

It wasn't until a year ago that the Wang family found Wang Xingzhi in a remote and remote village in Beidi and persuaded him to go back. Wang Xingzhi was unmoved. At that time, he happened to meet Yu Yan who had just entered the village and was taken on by him.

Yi Yan still remembers the scene at that time. As soon as she stepped into the village, Wang Xingzhi pointed at her parents who were pulling at the door and said, "This is the person I love. I can't go back with you."

Wang's parents were shocked, and so was Yan Yan.

After the shock, Wang's parents became inquiring and curious, while after the shock, Yi Yan became vigilant.

What the hell? Is she probably in some kind of human trafficking village again?

Is this a new trick of human traffickers?

Then should she go to the government to report it?

The moment she was stared at by Wang's parents, many things flashed through Yu Yan's mind, except that Wang Xingzhi only used her as a shield.

Thanks for sleeping with flowers, Shijin, and Youjue for their recommendation votes!
