In front of the Yin Mansion, Wang Duanhan waited for the news with anxiety.

In his arms were the beautiful articles he had written after staying up late last night. He believed that these articles and poems would surely impress Mr. Yin... Then he might be included in Mr. Yin's family wall.

Whether in terms of talent or fame, he is much better than Wang Duanchun, who grew his head in vain.

The Yin family's entourage walked out of the side door with a mocking smile on his lips: "Our Lords have said that the son of an official slave is not worthy of entering the Yin family's court."

Wang Duanhan heard a loud noise in his head and his body shook. The son of an official slave?

Although he was born and raised by Aunt Yin, he has never been subjected to such insults and slanders. Even when the Wang family and the Jiang family were at their worst, the impact on him was limited. After all, his talents and learning are indeed much better than ordinary people.

Moreover, he never stood up and escaped Jiang's iron fist several times.

It is better to bully a white-headed man than to bully a poor young man.

No one knows whether Wang Duanhan will have a successful career in the future.

Others dare not ignore Wang Duanhan's talents. However, Yin Boyi, the president of the Hanlin Academy, has always protected his shortcomings. He has no regard for Wang Duanhan's future. In fact, the big shots in the court can see clearly that Wang Duanhan has offended the Marquis of Xining.

Then think about having a successful career.

Wang Duanhan can only deceive short-sighted people with the future. Will the head of the Hanlin Academy be afraid of him or Wang Yixin?

That's not a joke.

Yin Bo was speechless when he dared to scheme against his disciples. How did he get the reputation of protecting his shortcomings?

Even though Yin Boyi beat Wang Duanchun, he may continue to teach in the future. But he will not allow others, especially Wang Duanhan, to take advantage of his apprentice.

"Master."

"boom."

The young man who was following Wang Duanhan failed to catch up, and saw Wang Duanhan fell to the ground, his clean, low-key and luxurious clothes stained with mud. The young man hugged the young master, pinched Renzong, and patted his chest, "Young Master.

Master, don't scare me."

The servants of the Yin family did not show any panic at all, and slowly glanced at Wang Duanhan, who had taken his breath and turned pale, and said, "We adults have already shown mercy for Master Chun's sake. Last time someone came to our door to bully our young lady. We were

Your Excellency was scolded for half of his life, and it is said that he will... return to dust in less than half a year. You'd better take the son of an official slave back to the doctor as soon as possible."

With a bang, even the corner door of the Yin family was closed.

When Wang Duanhan woke up after being pinched by the boy, he heard these words again and rolled his eyes. This time he completely fainted.

The boy of the Wang family had no choice but to wipe his tears and find a carriage to take the fainted young master back to the Wang family.

…

In the backyard of Yin Mansion, a pretty, charming and naive girl twisted into her mother's arms like a twist, "Dad seems to have beaten my little senior brother."

The dignified and steady woman helplessly hugged the little girl she had doted on since childhood, and taught her a lesson: "What is a little senior brother? You have to call him third senior brother."

"Didn't my father say that he is a closed disciple? Since he is the youngest among several senior brothers, why can't he be called junior senior brother?"

"Yinger."

"Mom, I think my little brother is dull. My father must worry about him. My grandfather also said that my father is good at everything, but he is not good at protecting his shortcomings..."

Seeing that her mother was about to scold her again, Yin Jiaying jumped out of her mother's arms and said, "Ah, I haven't seen what grandma gave me yet. Mom, I'm leaving first."

"Yinger..."

Seeing the pretty young girl sticking out her tongue and ducking out of the room, Yin Boyi's stepwife, the young daughter of the former second minister, Li Shi, helplessly shook her head and said to the people around her: "Ying'er is the one who was killed by the master and my father.

She's spoiled, I was a young girl in my parents' family, but look at her... she really doesn't look like me at all. If she were half as good as Ming'er, I would be satisfied."

"There are two young ladies fighting for your face. The master has long said that Miss Ying is a young girl and does not need to be married. It doesn't hurt if you pamper her more. Besides, Miss Ying doesn't understand anything. You can see

Now, who else could she be deceived by? I’m afraid the ladies above all regard Miss Ying as a capable person. Miss Ying was the one who helped solve the eldest daughter’s problem last time.”

"Don't mention how strong she is. She really doesn't look like my daughter. She beat up the eldest son-in-law's concubine... Hey, the eldest lady is so heartbroken, and I am a stepmother, so it's hard to be with her.

explain."

Although Li was the youngest daughter of the second assistant, she married Yin Boyi as her stepwife. It was also because Master Li really valued Yin Boyi's talents that he wronged his youngest daughter.

She became a stepmother when she entered the house, and Ms. Li was in a difficult situation for a while. Fortunately, the eldest daughter left behind by her ex-wife was very sensible, and Mr. Li also cared about her very much. Although they could not be as close as mother and daughter, they still had a good relationship with each other.

There was also some emotion between them.

Because she is a stepmother and the daughter of the Prime Minister, Mrs. Li does not dare to treat her first wife's daughter badly. Although Yin Boyi's first wife's mother-in-law's family is not a long-standing official, it can be said to be a good family and has a rich family.

After Mrs. Li entered the house, she locked up the dowry left by her ex-wife and refused to let anyone touch it.

When her stepdaughter chose a husband, Ms. Li didn't say much, and it was all up to her maternal grandfather's family and Yin Boyi to discuss it. In fact, Ms. Li had always been dissatisfied with her eldest son-in-law. However, the eldest daughter's maternal grandfather's family was afraid that she would plot to wrong her family.

My granddaughter will not listen to Mrs. Li at all.

Before her stepdaughter got married, Mrs. Li asked her maternal grandfather's family to send a knowledgeable person to accompany her ex-wife's dowry, which was quite a lot of money. At the same time, she also followed the Yin family's practice of marrying a daughter and gave her stepdaughter another gift.

After receiving a dowry and Shili Hongzhuang to send her stepdaughter out of the palace, Mrs. Li finally let go of her worries.

Later, the dowry of the second young lady, Li's biological eldest daughter, was far less generous than that of her stepdaughter.

Li's father was a well-known upright official when he was an official, but his family background was not very rich. Although Li could not give her daughter a generous dowry, she could give her daughter rich political resources.

No amount of dowry can be exchanged for this.

Yin Boyi had great trust and love for his step-wife, and especially doted on his youngest daughter Yin Jiaying. Therefore, he had already announced that he would choose a son-in-law for his daughter, based only on his character. Her husband's family was in a simple situation... Yin Boyi didn't want to

If we marry a young daughter again, I just hope that she will have a smooth and peaceful life.

Li also agrees with this point. After all, a political marriage seems to be a good match, but there will inevitably be bumps and bumps in life. Yin Jiaying's temperament is really not suitable for such a life.

It is said that they do not choose a son-in-law, but Yin Jiaying's husband is the most difficult to choose. Fortunately, Yin Jiaying has not yet matured, so Yin Boyi can slowly test her son-in-law.

Yin Jiaying walked back to her boudoir along the path, and saw Wang Duanchun with his head hanging down from a distance, silently following the master. Yin Jiaying's eyes were very good, and when she saw the slap marks on her little senior brother's face, she looked at her father's expression, something was wrong,

She turned around and hid behind the rockery, sticking her little head out to look at the silly goose.

I've met her several times, but I still don't know who she is. That stupid goose is really stupid.

Yin Jiaying touched her cheek. After all, she was also a standard beauty, but how come the little senior brother... just... As expected, he put all his thoughts into his studies and was just a nerd who studied hard.

, deserves to be slapped by his father...

"Being a teacher does not prevent you from fulfilling your filial piety..."

As Yin Boyi walked, he lectured the stupid apprentice who was following him, "Repay evil with kindness. Why hold on straight? You care about your father, but have you ever thought about your mother? Your biological sister? As a man, you have to learn to put it aside first.

What you do is to uphold your integrity and morality. You can't protect those close to you, and you allow them to be bullied. How dare you call them a man?"

"Master. Disciple..."

"To distinguish right from wrong, you must have a sense of proportion."

"yes."

Yin Boyi raised his head and glanced at the rockery. Yin Jiaying retracted her head, and Wang Duanchun glanced around blankly. Yin Boyi calmed down his doubts. I'm afraid the pretty young girl has never seen such a stupid person!

After her father and Wang Duanchun left, Yin Jiaying pouted and said, "Idiot, you are really an idiot. You don't even have the shrewdness of your father and grandfather. No wonder you are always bullied... Humph."

…

People came and went in the capital bookstore. Emperor Qianyuan followed the advice of his ministers and set up a three-story bookstore in the capital. He wrote the plaque in his own handwriting, "Tianxia Bookstore".

The bookstore here collects books from all over the world for students to read. In order to maintain profits, the bookstore will also ask people to copy some of the books. People with a wealthy family can buy them back and study them carefully.

Since he was selling books to outsiders, he would naturally find students from poor families to copy them.

Although there are also engraved items, the prices for engraved items are not high, and most of the items that really get good prices are those that are written out.

Tianxia Bookstore sells high-end books.

Wang Zhiyao picked up a book from the bookshelf and flipped through two pages. Sure enough, most of them were copied. Although it cost manpower, material and financial resources, it was worthy of the plaque of Tianxia Bookstore hanging at the door.

The rich people who often visit Tianxia Bookstore care about the quality. Printed books are available everywhere, so why do they have to come to Tianxia Bookstore?

The person who runs Tianxia Bookstore can be considered a business genius. He understands brand awareness very well. Every book sold in Tianxia Bookstore will be stamped... Wang Zhiyao touched the steel seal on the book. It couldn't be Wang Zhixuan's idea, right?

Although the creativity of the ancients cannot be underestimated, judging from the decoration of the bookstore, it has the style of a modern library.

Wang Zhiyao raised her eyebrows. If all this was related to Wang Zhixuan, then Wang Zhixuan must have a lot of private money, but she didn't give Wang Yixin any credit. She was really Wang Yixin's good daughter.

idiot!

Wang Zhiyao said silently.

Hearing the footsteps next to her, Wang Zhiyao quickly turned around, and the person who often followed Gu Sanshao pointed outside and gave Wang Zhiyao a flattering smile. Wang Zhiyao put down the book and walked through the side door of the bookstore in the direction he directed.

There are several buildings built behind Tianxia Bookstore, which are specially used for copying books for poor students who come to earn a meager income by copying books.

A path led to the distance. Wang Zhiyao stopped and turned around to return to the bookstore. Ah Si, who was following her, asked: "Miss Wang Qi, why don't you leave?"

"I can't trust you."

Wang Zhiyao didn't dare to follow a familiar person to a quiet place. It was lucky that it was Gu Sanshao, but what if someone set a trap?

Although she has magical powers to protect herself, it is best to be careful when going out.

"How dare a slave betray the third young master?" Ah Si couldn't laugh or cry. Should I say that Miss Wang Qi is cautious, or should she say that he looks like a slave who betrayed his master?

"I'm not going anyway."

"come here!"

Gu Tianze's rich voice came from behind. Wang Zhiyao knew he was behind her, but she didn't look back... Gu Tianze narrowed his eyes, "You want me to go to Tianxia Bookstore with you to look for books? This bookstore is affiliated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"you dare?"

"Do you think I dare?"

Wang Zhiyao turned around and glared at Gu Tianze. What a shame, that damn boy, how dare you threaten yourself?

Even though he knew that their relationship was not suitable to be exposed, he still...still...

Seeing her angry look, Gu Tianze was a little amused and looked at her unwillingly. Who is afraid of whom?

As Si looked on, his stomach ached. Both Miss Wang Qi and the Third Young Master were usually extremely calm and steady-tempered people. Why did these two become childish when they met together?

How long will they continue to stare at each other with their big eyes and small eyes?

Ah Si looked not far away at the guards guarding the third young master. Most of them were looking down at their toes.

"Third Young Master...don't you have something to say to Miss Wang Qi?"

Ah Si envied the three brothers above him very much. Why was he the only one responsible for the third young master’s secular things?

His brothers were much more relaxed in their responsibilities than him. In order for the third young master to date Miss Wang Qi smoothly, he worked hard for a long time. He also provided the third young master with strategies to please Miss Wang Qi.

Although the third young master punched him, Ah Si thought that at least it would make the third young master appear to have some experience.

It's really hard for the third young master, who grew up in the palace. When he met Miss Wang Qi, he was not as calm and arrogant as usual.

Ah Si walked quietly to Gu Tianze and whispered: "Miss Wang Qi is a girl, and you always coax the empress in the harem when the emperor is not in a good mood. Is there anything you can't forgive?"

Seeing that Gu Tianze was still unmoved, Ah Si threw out his trump card: "It will be difficult to arrange for you to meet her again. It would be a pity if she heard that news from someone else..."

Gu Tianze glanced at Ah Si with a warning look. Ah Si covered his mouth and stepped aside. Why was he so talkative?

"You..." Gu Tianze walked up to Wang Zhiyao and suddenly turned around. Wang Zhiyao was stunned. Did he just come to act cold, arrogant and noble in front of her? No. There was a trace of heat on his wrist. When he lowered his head, he saw that his palms were tightly pressed against his sleeves.

He held his wrist and said, "I have something to tell you."

Gu Tianze led Wang Zhiyao and walked away.

Ah Si and others exhaled the suffocation they had held in their chests at the same time. Finally, the third young master took a step forward. Thinking of the silly way the third young master often looked in a daze after returning from the Jiang family banquet, they, the servants who had been serving the third young master, became anxious.

Wang Zhiyao looked at the hands intertwined with each other and moved her lips... She raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Gu Sanshao's slightly immature back. She should not deliberately anger him anymore.

He put a lot of thought into arranging today's meeting.

But what's the point of them meeting in private like this?

"What's wrong?"

"fine."

Wang Zhiyao's face felt a little hot when she saw Gu Sanshao staring at her, "I'm fine."

"Lie!" Gu Tianze faced Wang Zhiyao, "You are unhappy."

Wang Zhiyao bit her lip and wanted to shake off Gu Tianze's hand, but he restrained her, "I don't want to quarrel with you. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Being flirted with by a young boy, Wang Zhiyao secretly complained that she was useless, you are not a girl.

Gu Tianze slowly let go of Wang Zhiyao's wrist, but in an instant he raised her chin, their eyes met, and Gu Tianze said slowly: "If you can't do it now, you can do it later!"

What do you mean? Wang Zhiyao didn't know where this sentence came from. Staring at him with his deep eyes, her heart beat faster and faster, and she turned her head and said, "That's what you just want to say?"

Gu Tianze took a step back and opened the distance between them, "Wang Duanhan just came to see your brother."

The thoughts in Wang Zhiyao's mind immediately disappeared, and she quickly asked: "What did he do again?"

"Your brother took him to the Yin family."

"..."

In addition to hating Wang Duanchun for not living up to expectations, Wang Zhiyao also felt embarrassed, not because her brother didn't know right from wrong, but because she had failed Gu Tianze's arrangement, and she was unwilling to expose more of her shortcomings in front of Gu Tianze... "You said you would help me, but you can't.

He's still as stupid as ever."

Gu Tianze was stunned for a moment when faced with Wang Zhiyao's accusation, and then smiled, "Do you really want me to control him? What if I break your brother?"

"Are you going to be very careless in your actions?"

"You still don't want your brother to suffer."

Gu Tianze's eyes flashed that it was indeed the case. No matter how much Wang Zhiyao complained about his brother, he would still hate the person who bullied Wang Duanchun. Fortunately, he threw Wang Duanchun to Yin Boyi:

"Don't worry about your brother. Although Yin Boyi is a bit cunning, he will not break the contract for anything he promises, and he is very protective of his shortcomings. As long as his disciples don't want to betray the master, he will continue to teach.

, your brother really needs someone with qualifications and someone he can admire to discipline him."

Gu Tianze has strength, talent, and qualifications, but his strength is different from Master Yin. He is not taken seriously by Wang Duanchun.

"The Wang family has all kinds of strange minds. Your brother is even more obedient than a cat in front of Yin Boyi, who has won three yuan. From now on, he will definitely listen to whatever Yin Boyi says."

"..."

Wang Zhiyao lowered her head in shame. Wang Duanchun really admired people who were good at reading. Yin Bo liked the Great Sanyuan. In Wang Duanchun's head, the master was a genius... No, Wang Zhiyao argued: "What do you mean, the Wang family has weird minds? I'm very

Is it weird? My surname is not Wang?"

Gu Tianze smiled: "You are a little better than them."

The object of irritation is only directed at him.

Before Wang Zhiyao got angry, Gu Tianze followed up: "Yin Boyi has a vicious mouth and has the experience of scolding people to death. He said that the son of an official slave is not worthy of entering the Yin Mansion. This sentence must be circulated in the capital for a while.

Wang Duanhan has not dared to pester your brother recently. As for your concubine sister..."

"Is she obsessed with you?"

"Is she worthy?"

Gu Tianze raised his chin proudly, showing off his arrogance. Did he think he was the fourth prince? Being fascinated by a voluptuous and frivolous woman? "If I touch you again, it won't be settled with a whip."

"Did you whip her?"

"Um."

"You hit women?"

"..."

"But, I like it."

"..."

Wang Zhiyao finally found someone who was not confused by Wang Zhixuan's beautiful appearance, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited. She didn't feel anything bad when she didn't feel like saying things she used to say. But Gu Tianze's ears felt hot and his face turned red. Was she confessing to herself?

?

His eyes were sparkling and brilliant. If he had known that beating Wang Zhixuan would win her over, he should have been more ruthless. In Gu Tianze's mind, there was no such thing as not being able to hit a woman. Naturally, he couldn't hit anyone who made his heart beat.

On the contrary, he should pamper the women he hates and let them continue to get close to him without beating them?

Then he must be annoyed to death?

Gu Tianze took out a box from his arms and handed it to Wang Zhiyao, "I kept it for no use, so I gave it to you."

"what?"

"You'll know if you look at it, I can't use it left or right."

Gu Tianze forced the box to Wang Zhiyao in a way of forcing him to win the prize. He was so overbearing that he could not tolerate Wang Zhiyao's refusal... When he opened it, Wang Zhiyao couldn't help laughing and said: "You won't need it, but maybe a few hundred years later, men can also wear earrings.

."

A pair of tourmaline earrings were placed in the box, certainly not the pair that Gu Tianze patted on the table.

Emperor Qianyuan had many good things. Gu Tianze disliked the pair of earrings that Ah Si had kept. Since he said he didn't want them anymore, he would not look for them again. Two days ago, he asked for the pair of earrings from Emperor Qianyuan again.

Wang Zhiyao liked this pair of earrings very much, but she didn't necessarily have to get them if she liked them. She was still considering whether to want them or not. When she heard arguments coming from the other side of the house,

"How can a poor man pretend to be noble? I think you are good-looking, so I invite you to have a drink... How much can you earn from copying books? I will lose money to relieve my anger. I will definitely not treat you badly."

"It's an insult to Sven, how dare you insult me?"

"Aren't you just a good-looking pretty boy? It's not because you are well-off, but I still dislike your age."

The guards who were scattered around to guard Gu Tianze gathered together, clustering Gu Tianze in the middle.

Wang Zhiyao instinctively felt disgusted when she heard that the fire was purging. Those two people were both men, and Guo Chao was not without good men. "I'm leaving first."

Gu Tianze's eyes turned cold, and the good atmosphere was ruined by these stupid pigs. Emperor Qianyuan hated masculinity, so Gu Tianze also had no interest in masculinity. He coughed lightly and said, "Throw it into the lake."

"Here."

The guard rushed up in a few steps, grabbed the two people who were arguing, and blocked their mouths. There was a lake in the middle of the courtyard. The cold winter was about to pass, leaving only a thin layer of ice on the lake. The guard lifted the two people over it.

He smashed his head against the lake with all his strength... Plop, Plop, two holes were smashed out of the thin ice. The two people who had been noisy just now were struggling and heaving in the cold lake...

"Help me...save me..."

Wang Zhiyao suddenly stopped. The voice sounded so familiar. She turned back and looked at the man asking for help on the lake, "Fourth Master Wang?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Tianze hurriedly said: "Pull him up."

No matter how much you look down on Wang Yixin, he is still Wang Zhiyao's father. Wang Yixin is even harder to deal with than Wang Duanchun...

Wang Zhiyao moved her lips. In fact, she wanted Wang Yixin to drown like this.

The guards dragged Wang Yixin out of the lake like a dead dog. Wang Yixin sneezed several times in succession. The impending death made him realize the value of life. His whole body was wet, and the cold air seemed to penetrate into his bones.

He held his arms around his shoulders, his body shivering, "You are... throwing people into the lake casually, do you have any laws..."

Wang Yixin saw the person in the distance, like a quail that was suddenly grabbed by the throat, and subconsciously covered his face with his robe sleeves, Yao'er? How could it be her?

Wang Yixin suddenly felt that maybe it would be cleaner for him to die, and he would not have to face the ridicule in her eyes, being teased by a man... it was a shame and a great humiliation.
Chapter completed!
