When he closed his eyes, Xining Houfu could no longer be seen. The carriage gradually moved away, and the sound of Xining Houfu could not be heard.

The Wang family, young and old, were all waiting until he could no longer bear the poverty and begged Jiang to invite her back.

Even if the Wang family does not have a title, as long as the Chiang family can return to the Wang family, they have hope of restoring the title. Even if the title cannot be restored, the Wang family will no longer have to bear the debt pressure from the Chiang family.

With the financial status of the Wang family, there was no need to be in such a predicament. Wang Yixin knew that his father and brother blamed him, and they forced him to bow to the Jiang family again, so he was stopped from all his monthly salary, food and clothing.

He had to figure out how to pay for it himself... Although when he was recuperating, Wen gave him a few banknotes as a relief, but before he could exchange the money, the banknotes were confiscated by Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang even took away the bank notes he had accumulated over the years and sold off his land, saying that he wanted to use the money to pay off the debts of the Jiang family.

The elder brother was the eldest son, so Wang Yixin could not resist. In addition, he was still ill and injured, so he could not forcefully argue with his brothers.

He thought it would be better in the future, but unexpectedly, after Mr. Jiang and him had an abortion, his brother intensified his efforts to frustrate the fourth family, making the fourth family's livelihood extremely difficult.

Wang Yixin went to look for his father, but his father was recovering from illness and did not want to see his unfilial son. He went to look for his mother, and his eldest sister-in-law said that her mother was angry with him.

Everyone in the Wang family resented him, as he was responsible for the embarrassment of the Wang family today.

Wang Zhixuan and Aunt Yin needed to take medicine, and Wang Duanhan also needed to go to school. Wang Yixin saw that his brother could not give him another penny, so he was fined and demoted. He could not get his small salary.

Precisely because the Hanlin Academy was expensive, there was almost no additional income.

Wang Yixin could only earn a meager income by copying books for others with his partially disabled body.

Returning to the most remote and dilapidated courtyard of the Wang family, Wang Yixin looked around at the scene in front of him, and then thought about the wealth of the Jiang family. It would be a lie to say that he had no regrets or envy... But when he was asked to beg the Jiang family, he pulled

No shame.

"Fourth Master, please drink some water first. There is porridge and soup in the kitchen. I will bring it to you."

Most of the servants in the fourth room were transferred away, but only a few servants who were close to Wang Yixin remained. Mo Xiang was originally a servant who served the pen and ink, but now he does all the cooking, laundry and driving the carriage.

"Get some water first."

"yes."

After a while, Mo Xiang came in with a copper basin and said guiltily: "The hot water has to be boiled..."

"It doesn't matter."

Wang Yixin's fingers touched the cold water. No matter how cold the water was, would it still make him feel chilly at this moment?

"Send the money you earned to Xuan'er."

"Fifth Miss has a lot of money. You earned this in one day by copying books. How about you keep some?"

"Need not."

Wang Yixin washed away the disguise on his face with cold water. His handsome appearance was reflected on the water. How could Wang Yixin let others know that he made money by copying books. So he used a disguise: "Send them all to Xuan'er,

I don’t have any need for money.”

"Fourth Master..."

"Send it."

"yes."

Mo Xiang took away the scattered silver. After Wang Yixin washed himself, he drank cold tea slowly. Even if he had a grudge against Wang Zhixuan, she was always his daughter and could not abandon them. The rich raised the poor and the poor raised them.

, he just tried his best...Wang Zhixuan should not blame him for being incompetent and useless.

After all, she knew him well.

Someone laughed at him?

Wang Yixin frowned. He clearly heard the bitter ridicule, "Who? Come out?"

In recent days, Wang Yixin always feels like he has encountered ghosts, as if there is a lonely ghost in him. Sometimes he will do some uncontrollable things. For example, he will pass by Jiang's house and wonder if

Being able to see Wang Zhiyao... Wang Yixin was only slightly suspicious of Wang Zhixuan, but he was extremely dissatisfied with Wang Zhiyao because of these series of changes.

If Wang Zhiyao had not been unfilial and ruthless, he would still be a high-ranking and relegated immortal, and how could he be reduced to a poor copycat like now.

There was only Wang Yixin in the room, and the only response to him was the sound of the cold wind blowing the window lattice. Wang Yixin slumped on the chair in fear. He didn't know how long his integrity could last... This time, the response to him was the same as before.

A bitter laugh.

"Fourth Master, Fifth Miss asked the servant to bring you some snacks."

Mo Xiang took back a plate of freshly baked snacks and placed it in front of Wang Yixin, "Miss Fifth made it herself."

There was a hint of emotion in Wang Yixin's eyes, maybe he had misunderstood Xuan'er.

"Fourth Master..." Mo Xiang saw Wang Yixin holding his head and groaning in pain, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with you?"

He himself couldn't tell what was going on. Whenever he thought of Wang Zhixuan, his head hurt, and his mocking voice became increasingly bitter and clear.

"Are they okay?"

"Aunt Yin is recovering from her injury. In addition to taking care of her, Fifth Miss has been trying to find ways to help you speak in front of the old lady. I heard that she was punished several times by the first lady. Young Master Han has studied harder and the old lady cares about him.

I don’t want the other young masters to embarrass Young Master Han anymore. The old man said that if Young Master Han works hard, he may be able to pass the provincial examination this time."

"He can't make it."

Wang Yixin rubbed his forehead to relieve his headache. Wang Duanhan was taught by him. He naturally knew the level of Wang Duanhan. "He had to force himself to pass the provincial examination. Why couldn't father wait a little longer? What if Brother Han lost his life?"

Confidence, maybe...maybe I will fail in the provincial examination a few times in this life."

"I heard that not only Master Han, but also all the young masters are being disciplined by the old master in preparation for spring."

When Wang Yixin heard this, he sighed heavily. The title was taken away, and the descendants of the Wang family could only rely on the imperial examination to advance. If the descendants of the Wang family can have a few more academic seeds, the Wang family may not have no hope of rising again, "I'm afraid

It was my father who figured it out. The foundation of the family still lies in the younger generations, but... he was still too impatient."

"The old lady won't listen to what the fourth master said." Mo Xiang stopped Wang Yixin from going out, "Besides, you can't see the old lady either."

How could Uncle Wang allow Wang Yixin, who had ruined the title of the Wang family, to see the old man and prevent the children of the Wang family from taking the imperial examination?

If Wang Yixin wants to restore his position in the Wang family, there is only one way. That is to invite the Jiang family back... But this is exactly what Wang Yixin is unwilling to do.

"From now on, show me what Brother Han has done."

Wang Yixin laid out the rough drawing paper on the table. It's not that he couldn't trust his father. The questions in the imperial examinations and rural examinations in recent years have been different from those in the past. It is a good thing for the old man to urge his children and grandchildren to make progress, but it is also possible that Wang Duanhan has been taught astray.

, with him watching, Wang Duanhan might have more hope of passing the provincial examination.

Mo Xiang said: "Fourth Master has been tired for a whole day. Let's take a rest early."

How could Wang Yixin not be tired after copying books all day? In addition to calligraphy and painting, Wang Yixin could not think of any other way to make money. His calligraphy was good, but if he made a living by selling calligraphy,

Not only was he disgraced, but he could no longer stay in the Hanlin Academy. So he could only disguise himself and go to the bookstore to copy books to earn some money.

"I draw two paintings and imitate other people's painting methods, and I can finish them in a while."

"Fourth Master..."

"Okay, I have my own sense of discretion."

Wang Yi's confidence was filled with bitterness. He had already reduced himself to imitating other people's painting methods for money. He could earn more by imitating paintings by famous artists than by copying books... He just imitated people who were not as good as himself. Wang Yixin was very frustrated and frustrated.

depressed.

One of his paintings is worth a thousand taels. But can he make a living by selling paintings?

Wang Yixin didn't care about his official position before, but now he understands that he used to be ridiculous. If he didn't become an official, he might not even be able to get out.

Therefore, he would rather imitate other people's painting methods and earn only a few taels of silver per painting than dare to sell his own paintings.

In the past, Wang Yixin despised the rough painting methods of those so-called famous painters. Now he can only rely on rough painting methods to make money, and he is ruining the artistic conception of his own calligraphy and painting.

Imitation is not easy. Wang Yixin wanted to put an end to his usual painting methods and habits. He stayed up very late before he painted two pictures of snow plum blossoms. In fact, he also knew that pictures of beautiful women would sell for more money...

...But he will never sink to the point of painting erotic pictures.

After eating a few snacks, Wang Yixin fell tiredly on the bed. He was obviously extremely tired, but he couldn't fall asleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. The wealth of the Jiang family made him feel more embarrassed today. He couldn't think about it. He couldn't think about it.

...Wang Yixin murmured to himself: "You can't be soft, you can't be soft!"

He forcibly ordered himself to close his eyes, and before his eyes appeared the picture of his former wealth, delicious meals, luxurious furnishings, whatever he liked, Jiang would always give it to him. Jiang Dayong did not have a very good reputation among civil servants, and because of his

The marriage between the Jiang family was despised by some noble literati, but more colleagues would take more care of Wang Yixin because Jiang Dayong was the emperor's favorite.

After all, no one could resist Jiang Dayong who went crazy and hit people with his fists.

And what kind of life is he living now?

Everyone can look up to him, even Wang Yixin can feel the ridicule of people around him.

He is no longer an aloof and relegated immortal, even though his appearance is still handsome, without the aura of wealth, Wang Yixin can even feel the 'goodwill' of some people.

The bed frame creaked as Wang Yixin tossed and turned. How long would he have to live like this? Is he really going to bow to Mr. Jiang?

If they persist for two more days, maybe Jiang will come back to him on his own initiative, and then he... he will reluctantly forgive them...

'idiot!'

Who scolded him?

Wang Yixin no longer has the strength to compete with unknown ghosts and monsters. Every part of his arms is hurting. How could I be stupid?

'You are so stupid. Yao'er will never forgive you again. You are stupider than... than me... The voice in my head is full of anger and despair... I was never as stupid as you and hurt her so badly...

…'

"Where did you come from as a ghost? I'm not wrong! It was Wang Zhiyao who was wrong. She didn't want to make it easy for me! Get away! Don't force me to find an expert to save you."

'If I could go out of my mind, I would thank you. At least I won't see you being so stupid again! Seeing you being stupid makes her hate you more and more. Do you think it's easy for me? Do you know that I'm not as stupid as you?

Disgusting and biased, why does God let me see everything but can't stop it...'

Someone roared in his ears, and there was a noise on the door. Slowly, the sounds in Wang Yixin's ears turned into moans and gradually disappeared.

Wang Yixin stood up, touched his arms and legs, then touched his heart, and disappeared?

The ghost disappeared?

Wang Yixin gasped for breath. He no longer had to worry about ghosts occupying his body. Wang Yixin was very grateful for the candlelight that appeared at the door of the room. If it hadn't been for that warm light, he might have died.

"Who? Who is where?"

"Father, it's me."

"Xuan'er?"

Wang Yixin's next move was to get dressed, "Why are you here?"

A man and a woman living alone in the same room, even though Wang Zhixuan has not yet reached hair age, is his direct bloodline, it is against the rules and etiquette to do so.

The candlelight became brighter and brighter. When Wang Yixin saw Wang Zhixuan's weak appearance, his heart seemed to be stabbed hard. Especially her watery eyes, she couldn't stop talking, "Dad, you don't love me anymore."

."

No matter how much Wang Yixin persisted, he couldn't resist Wang Zhixuan, who suddenly threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly. He pushed his daughter in his arms, but Wang Zhixuan clung to him: "Daddy ignores me, I'm so sad.

At that time...I just wanted to save my mother and didn't notice you."

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry."

Wang Yixin patted Wang Zhixuan on the back and sighed: "You are my daughter, don't... don't do this again."

"Isn't dad angry?" Wang Zhixuan blinked her tearful eyes and looked at Wang Yixin timidly. "Without dad, I can't eat well. I can't sleep well. I've been thinking about you all day in the past few days. Look.

…I have lost weight and am no longer beautiful.”

Wang Zhixuan was as playful as usual, coquettishly playing coquettishly to Wang Yixin, gently shaking Wang Yixin's arm. Wang Zhixuan didn't have to come to see Wang Yixin in the middle of the night. But Wang Yixin had been away from home all day in the past few days, and she

I couldn't see him at all. He could only come over in the middle of the night. Because he was implicated by Wang Yixin, Wang Zhixuan's life was also very difficult.

She is not as favored as before in the Wang family, and the level of food and clothing has also plummeted. It is not that she does not resent Wang Yixin, but Wang Zhiyao knows that without Wang Yixin, her life in the Wang family will be more difficult.

Just now, Wang Yixin had someone give her a few taels of silver, which gave her hope of saving Wang Yixin.

She was not short of those few taels of silver. She had accumulated a lot of banknotes in the past. The uncle and the others had confiscated Wang Yixin's money and property. No matter how shameless they were, they would not come to search Wang Zhixuan's house, so they were in a state of embarrassment recently.

In those days, Wang Yixin was actually the only one who really suffered. Wang Zhixuan secretly prepared things to replenish Aunt Yin's body.

Wang Yixin shook his head fondly, "You've used all your skills on me."

"You are my father. I don't want to get close to you. Don't you get angry when I get close to others."

Wang Zhixuan winked playfully, sat on the bed with Wang Yixin, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat on Wang Yixin's forehead, and said worriedly: "You have become thinner. Although you are still my excommunicated father, my daughter

I feel sorry for you. You have to take care of yourself. Are you very busy with government affairs? I haven’t seen you much recently. My mother misses you very much. Although she doesn’t say it, she is thinking about you all the time.”

"Is she okay?"

"It's not so good." Wang Zhixuan said bitterly: "Mom almost... found fault. If I hadn't been so careful, she would have... Can daddy go see mom? She's so pitiful.

However, we got to know each other well and were in love with you, but you were abused by the Jiang family. My mother felt sorry for you, and her face was ruined."

Even though Wang Zhixuan tried her best to reduce the mark on Aunt Yin's cheek, she could only think of other makeup techniques to cover part of the mark.

Wang Yixin felt a heavy and uncomfortable feeling in his chest. He was also heartbroken that Jiang had ruined Aunt Yin. "In two days, I will go see her after I have finished my work."

"Okay, my mother and I are waiting for you."

Wang Zhixuan was dissatisfied with Wang Yixin's perfunctory behavior. Wang Yixin was no better than his father in his previous life, and he was also an incompetent man who was afraid of his wife.

But for now, Wang Zhixuan can only continue to rely on Wang Yixin. When in the future...she catches up with Gu Tianze and the prince, Wang Yixin will be useless. When her wings are full, she will have to repay all the injustice and insult she suffered today.

The Jiang family asks for it back!

Don't think that the Jiang family can enjoy wealth and wealth by becoming the Marquis of Xining. As long as she can help the prince she likes ascend to the throne, what else does she have to fear?

I am afraid that being the crown prince alone is not enough. Wang Zhixuan hid the ambition in her eyes. If Emperor Qianyuan also knew about her and cherished her, the Jiang family would never dare to humiliate themselves again.

There are so many stories about concubines becoming successful, winning ladies, and being valued by the emperor. Wang Zhixuan couldn't believe that she found an opportunity to attract the attention of the nobles.

She is smart, beautiful, young, and has talents that combine ancient and modern times. She should have a more prosperous life than everyone else.

"Xuan'er, you go back first."

"Then daddy should pay attention to rest and don't be too busy." Wang Zhixuan clenched her fists, "If there are still people bullying daddy, if you have any problems, just tell me. I will help you teach them a lesson."

"How do you want to teach me a lesson?"

"It's not okay to bully my dad anyway."

Wang Zhixuan seemed to regard Wang Yixin as someone who refused to offend, "The Jiang family bullies you, you have to tell me, Uncle Xining... After the Marquis of Xining is proud, I am afraid that you will no longer be in the eyes of the Jiang family. Maybe

I will embarrass you in court."

A hint of worry flashed in Wang Yixin's eyes. What Wang Zhixuan said makes sense. Is there anything else that the Jiang family dare not do?

"Dad." Wang Zhixuan rested her head on Wang Yixin's shoulder, "My daughter is not forcing you to do things you don't like. Nor is she forcing you to run an official career and economy. I can live in any life, be poor and happy, and I will always do it.

I am filial to you. However, the current situation of the Wang family is caused by the domineering Marquis of Xining on the outside and the uncles in each house who have their own thoughts. Although my grandfather wants to take charge of the overall situation, he is old and has low energy. You have to think carefully about it.

, as you are an official in the Hanlin Academy, you are said to have the best chance of meeting His Majesty. Isn’t it because the Jiang family went from the Earl’s Mansion to the Marquis Mansion because of His Majesty’s favor?”

Wang Zhixuan paused for a while, and became furious when he saw that Wang Yixin did not mention anything to urge him to make progress like in the past. Sure enough, only adversity can awaken Wang Yixin's ambition:

"Besides, if you love my mother, you shouldn't let her be insulted by the Jiang family again. What's wrong with her? It not only ruined my mother's appearance, but also left her with scars all over her body. I feel really heartbroken when I look at my mother. What's more?

It’s just about my brother’s imperial examination... My daughter is worried that the Jiang family will interfere with it.”

"hiss."

Wang Yixin took a breath. If the Wang family wanted to gain a foothold in the country, taking the imperial examination was the only way out. Once the Jiang family blocked this road, the Wang family would be in a worse situation. "Xuan'er... you said

It makes sense, the world is so hot and cold, I should have seen through it a long time ago."

"My father is very talented. He is a gift from heaven. If you put a little more effort, you will definitely be able to make great achievements, report it to the court, bring peace to the people of Li, and let those who think that the Wang family only relies on the Jiang family see clearly, you Wang Si

I don’t need to be superior to anyone, you are an immortal and a talented person.”

Looking at Wang Zhixuan with admiration and dependence, Wang Yi felt a surge of confidence. He pressed Wang Zhixuan's arm. His throat was a little dry. The person who understood him best was Xuan'er.

Wang Zhixuan's few words aroused Wang Yixin's competitive mentality, and also pointed out the direction for Wang Yixin. It was time to express his purpose: "Isn't there a literary meeting in a few days? Can you take me and

Will my mother go? We all want to see your heroic appearance at the cultural gathering."

"Your mother's body..."

"My mother is the happiest when I am with you. Without you, even the delicacies from the mountains and seas every day are just like nothing to my mother." Wang Zhixuan said angrily: "You can't even see through this, so I won't pay attention to you.

, In the eyes of my mother, no one is more important than you. She is not like the beloved daughter of the Marquis of Xining who only cares about her own happiness. My mother always said that since she likes you, she must accommodate you and rely on you in everything.

It’s okay to be a little wronged, but the most important thing is not to wrong the person you love..."

"Your mother said that?"

"How can I lie to you? My mother can only tell me these things because she is worried about adding extra trouble to you."

"Qingqing..."

Wang Yixin was moved, and the corner of Wang Zhixuan's mouth curled up slightly. A man who is so easy to deceive really doesn't have the pleasure of solving problems. Maybe the fourth prince... Wang Zhixuan lowered his eyelids, and it would be more pleasure to conquer the fourth prince or the arrogant Gu Sanshao.

After all, no one can escape the love she weaves.

At midnight, Wang Yixin sent away Wang Zhixuan, who was reluctant to leave him. Because he was not sleepy, Wang Yixin was in a good mood because he lost the evil ghost. He lit a candle, sat down and continued to draw according to other people's brushwork. After his daughter's persuasion,

, he was excited. Not only did he want to make money to support his family and make the Jiang family regret it, but he also wanted to... and to carve out a future for Wang Zhixuan's future.

If she becomes an important official in the court, Wang Zhixuan can still marry into a famous family even if she is a commoner.

…

Aunt Yin's face was wrapped with gauze, and she asked in confusion: "Why did Xuan'er want me to accompany Fourth Master to attend the cultural gathering? I'm afraid that the Jiang family..."

"They've already had their children separated, and they still don't care who dad takes out. This cultural gathering is very important. It's our chance to show off, so that people who don't know who they are are not deceived by the Jiang family. That's why dad didn't spoil his concubine and kill his wife.

It's Mrs. Jiang... Mrs. Jiang is jealous of my mother, so she kills and beats us. As long as you make a splash at the cultural gathering, who can say that you have a bad background? Since Mrs. Jiang wants to live apart, let her stay alone in the empty room.

Go, mother, she has given up on daddy, and you and daddy can stay together forever."

"But how can I meet people like this?"

"Mom, it's okay, I'll figure it out."

Aunt Yin was moved again by Wang Zhixuan's words. Maybe she could take another chance to monopolize Fourth Master Wang. Even if she didn't think about herself, she had to think about her children... Han'er studied hard and dedicated his career to her.

…

In the residence of the President of the Hanlin Academy, Yin Boyi, the President of the Hanlin Academy who was over 40 years old, closed the ceremony and leaned on the back of his chair. After a while, he opened his eyes and said to the person guarding the door: "Tomorrow, let me

Wang Duanchun came to the Hanlin Academy in person, and I took his exam myself."

"Sir, have you decided?"

"The bait given by Gu Sanshao is too attractive." The headmaster sighed helplessly: "No one would refuse. Jiang Dayong is really lucky. Gu Sanshao is busy with him. As long as Wang Duanchun is

If his character is passable, I will accept him."

p.s. Wang Yixin is seeking death, ahem, this is also the biggest explosion point. It is a cliché to ask for pink. It is the end of the month, and Ye is working very hard to update this month. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it.
