Chapter 201: An Honest Gentleman

Looking at the two shy little girls, Yang Ning couldn't help but shook her head. She really had a "guilty conscience". Even if the two little girls heard some noise, it didn't mean that they had discovered her secret. They had been there before. In the palace, they must have heard about the eunuchs' "mischief", so in their view, there was nothing to make a fuss about when they slept together with Shui Ling and made some noise.

After telling Tingyu and Tingxue not to disturb Shui Ling's rest, Yang Ning washed up and then went to the front yard. Along the way, Yang Ning always felt that there was something unfinished yesterday, but for a moment, there was nothing He couldn't remember it until he came to the front hall and saw Yue Feng going out. He asked and learned that Yue Feng was going to the Wenzhai opposite. Yang Ning suddenly remembered what he had forgotten.

Yesterday at Concubine Li's place, I had promised to go to Wen's house to see Wen Ziyan sooner or later, but I was drunk last night and didn't go. It turned out that Wen Ziyan was very cold to me for some reason yesterday and unexpectedly asked me to let her go. I went to look for her, but I didn't go. You can imagine how angry Wen Ziyan would be.

The more Yang Ning thought about it, the more frightened she became. She hurriedly called Yue Feng, took the purple jade bracelet for Wen Ziyan from her room, and went out with Yue Feng towards Wen's house.

There were still no servants in the Wen family, let alone a concierge, and the door was ajar. Yue Feng seemed to be familiar with the house, so he led Yang Ning and opened the door and walked in, heading straight to the study where Wen Qianshi was.

It's been a long time since I've been here, and the Wen family's house is even more desolate. However, the snow has been swept away very clean. When I walked outside the study, I could hear Wen Qianshi's melodious reading from inside.

"Brother Wen, my young master is here to visit," Yue Feng shouted.

The sound of reading stopped, and soon, Wen Qianshi, who was wearing a blue robe and cotton robe, came out. When he saw Yang Ning, he said happily: "Brother Yang, are you okay? I heard from my sister-in-law that Brother Yang has been back for a few days. Qian Shi is not early." I'm here to visit and forgive my sins."

Yang Ning smiled helplessly and said: "Brother Wen, please stop dragging Wen with me, I really can't stand it."

Wen Qianshi smiled and said: "Brother Yang, Yue Feng, it's too cold outside, please come inside."

In the study room, it was not very warm. Wen Qianshi lit a small charcoal pot in the room. There was a small wooden stool next to it. The wooden stool was holding a book. It seemed that Wen Qianshi was holding the charcoal pot just now. Reading.

There were no maids or servants to serve, so Wen Qianshi did everything by himself. He used the hot water on the charcoal basin to make tea for Yang Ning and Yue Feng. Yang Ning took a quick look around the shabby house, and then looked at that person. It was a small charcoal basin, and I couldn't help but sigh. Who could have imagined that the Wen family, guarding such a big house, lived such an embarrassing life.

"Brother Wen, why haven't you seen your sister Medical Officer Wen?" Yang Ning said with some uneasiness.

"Brother Yang, drink tea," Wen Qianshi greeted and said, "Oh, my sister-in-law went to the palace early in the morning. I heard that the imperial concubine is a little unwell, and the empress seems to have caught the cold occasionally, so she needs to stay in bed. My sister is here for medical treatment,”

"Oh, that's it..." Hearing that Wen Ziyan was not in the house, Yang Ning couldn't help but feel relaxed and disappointed. Of course, the feeling of disappointment accounted for the absolute proportion.

"Oh, by the way, why didn't Brother Wen go to the Hanlin Academy and instead studied at home so leisurely?" Yang Ning asked again.

A trace of frustration flashed across Wen Qianshi's face and he said: "Qianshi is now just a 'shujishi' of the Hanlin Academy. He is a candidate for Hanlin official. He is not considered official and does not have to go to the academy every day."

Yang Ning asked strangely: "With Brother Wen's talent and knowledge, why is he still just a candidate? Who is the current bachelor of the Hanlin Academy? Does he have any sense of employment?"

Yang Ning, a small fifth-grade Hanlin bachelor, was naturally rude when he spoke. However, Wen Qianshi's expression changed a little when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Yang, please be careful. Now he is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy." Mr. Ding Shitao Ding is a man of great talent, high moral standing, and a man of great reputation. As the younger generation, we should respect him a little."

Yang Ning sneered and said: "You are really interesting as a talented scholar. People look down on you and don't promote you, but you still look down on them and support them. Forget it, leave your affairs to me and find someone later. Let’s talk about it, I hope you take off this ‘alternative’ hat...,”

Before Yang Ning could finish speaking, Wen Qianshi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Yang, this is absolutely impossible. To be promoted in the Hanlin Academy, Qianshi must rely on his own abilities and talents. Even if Brother Yang has this ability, Qianshi still has the ability." How can I accept it? If others find out, wouldn't it make people laugh at me, Wen Qianshi, for being a scheming person who relies on a trust relationship and is a scheming person?"

"Hey," Wen Qianshi's words made Yang Ning extremely angry. As expected, Wen Qianshi did not insult his reputation as an "upright and talented man".

"Young scholar, you are really a saint in the world. I am willing to help you, but in your eyes, I am just a villain. Do you think that ordinary people can get help from me? If not for the fact that you are For the sake of my future brother, Yang Ning... ahem..., I am too lazy to help you. To tell you the truth, your delay in getting a formal position in the Hanlin Academy is due to your personality. If you don't change, you will never get ahead," Yang Ning said bitterly, "Angrily."

"Brother Wen, you are right, what we are doing cannot be called 'camping'. Haven't you always told me that your greatest ambition is to be an editor or editor of the Hanlin Academy, to read hundreds of books, and to spread the word The masterpiece of a century, now you are just an alternative 'Shujishi', not to mention you told me that you have a bad relationship with your prosecutor. Without the help of my young master, when will you be able to realize your ambition? "Yue Feng also advised.

Hey, this boy really has no intention of having an official career. What kind of works will be passed down for generations? His ambition is not small. This Yue Feng gets along very well with this old-fashioned boy. It seems that the two of them talk a lot on weekdays. Yang Ning thought in his heart. .

Wen Qianshi was silent for a while, and finally said with a resolute look on his face: "Qianshi thanks Brother Yang and Brother Yue for their kindness, but Qianshi still cannot accept it. Please forgive me."

When Yang Ning heard "Teng" became popular, he stood up suddenly. Yue Feng was startled and hurriedly stood up too.

Yang Ning said coldly: "Since Brother Wen is determined to be your upright gentleman, then it's done. You and I have different opinions and will not work with each other. Yang Ning takes his leave. Yue Feng, let's go back." After saying that, Yang Ning stepped forward Then walked outside.

"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, Qianshi doesn't mean anything else, you..." Wen Qianshi wanted to explain something, but Yang Ning had already walked to the yard. Yue Feng looked at Wen Qianshi and sighed, and hurriedly chased after him. .

After leaving the gate of Wen's house and entering the gate of his own house, Yue Feng walked up to Yang Ning and said with some uneasiness: "Sir, actually Brother Wen, he doesn't mean anything else. He's a good guy, but he's a little... He's a little dull, you're not really angry with him, are you?"

Yang Ning laughed loudly, looked at Yue Feng and said: "Fool, you really think that I am angry with this boy. If I am really angry with him, I will be angry to death. Humph, this boy, he doesn't want to rely on connections and connections. Well, I just won’t let him get what he wants. I’ll ask Mr. Zhang Ge to promote him later. I’ll see what he can do.”

Yue Feng's face relaxed and he said happily: "Yue Feng thanks you so much for Brother Wen, sir."

Seeing Yue Feng's cheerful look and thinking about what Yue Feng had said to Wen Qianshi just now, Yang Ning was really surprised that these two people's completely different personalities could actually come together.

"Yue Feng, it seems that you have a very good relationship with this talented literary scholar."

Yang Ning smiled and said something casually, but Yue Feng's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Sir, Yue Feng has no other intention, it's just a literary university... Wencaizi has taught Yue Feng a lot of knowledge. , Yue Feng thought this person was good, so he made friends with him. If the young master feels something is wrong, Yue Feng will never go to Wenzhai again."

Seeing Yue Feng's frightened look, all the maids and servants around him looked over again. Yang Ning couldn't help crying and said, "Yue Feng, what are you doing? I don't mean anything else. You are thinking too much. Get up quickly." "

Yang Ning said, pulled Yue Feng up, and said to him: "I just said casually, should you go or go, come or go? Although Wen Qianshi is a bit dull, his character is It's really good. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell this guy something just now. I saw that this house was too shabby and deserted. Later, I wanted to use a part of our house to serve him. The fees should be paid from What do you think of our show?"

Yue Feng felt relieved when he saw that Yang Ning was not blaming him for being close to outsiders. Hearing this, he showed an admiring look on his face and said: "Young Master is so benevolent and righteous, which is really admirable. But, Brother Yiwen's character and arrogance, I'm afraid He won't accept it,"

Yang Ning smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not his turn to make the decision on the Wen family's affairs." As he spoke, he thought of Wen Ziyan. The main reason why he wanted to send maids and servants to Wen's family was for Wen Ziyan's sake. Yan, he didn't want Wen Ziyan to suffer along with Wen Qianshi. As for whether Wen Ziyan agreed or not, Yang Ning had the confidence to persuade her to accept it, although she should be angry with herself now.



Yang Ning went to the inner house to take a look. At this time, Shui Ling had already gotten up and was washing up. When she saw Yang Ning come in, she couldn't help but feel ashamed. After the little girl had been moisturized last night, she now looked even more radiant, because Ting Yu and Ting Xue were present. , Yang Ning restrained himself from using any more tricks.
