At this time, Wen Liang was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a slender figure, handsome face, calm posture, and the demeanor of a scholar.
Be worthy of a handsome young man.
As soon as he came up, he attracted everyone's attention. He seemed not to have expected that there were so many people in the building. After a moment of surprise, he saluted Mrs. Wen.
"You have to be out and about while studying all day long. Come and meet the old lady from the Qiao family. She hugged you when you were a child!"
Old Mrs. Wen was very enthusiastic, so she smiled and nodded, and after receiving the gift, she personally gave two things.
"This is the son of the old man. He is the fourth among the brothers. He knows how to read all day long. I said that he would become stupid when he studies. Isn't that right? The gentleman in the academy said that this autumn, he was punished, and he became even more reluctant to go out.
Yes, I am forcing you to come out!"
The old lady nodded repeatedly, but Yao's eyes lit up, "You are already famous at such a young age? It's really amazing."
When Mrs. Wen mentioned this, she looked proud, "Our family doesn't have a title like yours, so the sons and daughters still have to take the imperial examination. If we don't study hard, how will we have a future in the future?"
The old lady looked at Wen Liang with a little more admiration, and she nodded her head and praised him heartily.
If it hadn't been for Qiao Weisheng who took the imperial examination and won the imperial examination, step by step to reach his current position, the Qiao family would not have the status it has today just based on the name of Zhongyong Bofu.
Even if it's not as good as those noble families, it's still much better than the ordinary noble families who just sit there and live in vain.
And now that the world has been at peace for a long time, the cabinet has become powerful, and there is a saying that non-Jinshi cannot enter the Imperial Academy, and non-Hanlin cannot enter the cabinet. Aspiring young people must take the road of studying and taking the imperial examination if they want to fight for their future.
But this imperial examination is not that easy. Many people with white hair and beards can't read the results. Therefore, Wen Liang has the reputation of being a scholar at a young age and can participate in this year's provincial examination. It is already very important.
Not bad.
Mrs. Wen then smiled again and said, "Our two families are just like each other. Sister, you don't mind, right?"
What I was talking about was that a girl from the Qiao family was present, which was originally not in line with the rules.
But firstly, we are outside now, and the elders are all in the same place. Secondly, as Mrs. Wen said, the two families are just like each other, so it is not a lack of etiquette.
The old lady then smiled and said, "Am I such a pedantic person? Sister Yan, take your two younger sisters to meet the Wen family's Shiro."
As soon as Wen Liang came up, out of etiquette, Qiao Yuyan and the other two hid behind a curtain.
Qiao Yuning and Qiao Yurong were looking at the young master among them through the curtain, but Qiao Yuyan went aside alone under the pretext of giving instructions to the maid and mother-in-law.
At this moment, after hearing the old lady's order, I had to turn around from behind.
When Wen Liang came up, he caught a glimpse of the shadowy figures behind the curtain and knew that they were the girls of the Qiao family. He followed the instructions of his elders and bowed his hands in salute.
But when he looked up and saw the girl in front of him, he was a little stunned.
When the old lady saw this, she frowned and said with a smile: "Fourth Young Master, would you like to try this lychee? I think it tastes good."
Wen Liang knew he had lost his temper and quickly agreed, "Thank you, old lady."
Suddenly there was thunderous drumming outside, and someone shouted: "The dragon boat race is about to begin!"
After hearing this, everyone in the room rushed towards the railing. Fortunately, the two families were in one place, and the place was spacious, so the maids and women would not crowd in towards the master.
Qiao Yuyan walked up to the old lady and said, "Grandma, let me help you go over and take a look."
But the old lady waved her hand and said with a smile: "I am old and have never seen anything, but just listen to the excitement. You young people can go and see it and tell me which family won the championship.
"
Qiao Yuyan didn't force herself anymore. She didn't want to see it at first, but how much money she spent on her dragon boat passed through her hands. Now she wanted to see if she could get a ranking.
"Look, look, that big red one belongs to the Changxing Marquis Mansion. It's hard to say that they are number one again this year." Wen Ruting clenched the handkerchief excitedly, but she didn't dare to jump up because of her status.
Qiao Yurong on the side also looked equally excited, "The one next to it seems to be from Princess Danyang's Mansion. Prince An was on the dragon boat last year. I don't know if it will still be there this year."
Qiao Yuyan didn't care about the popular dragon boat that won the championship, she only cared about her own performance. There was no chance of competing for the top three, and she couldn't be in the last place anyway!
Otherwise, wouldn’t that money be wasted?
When I saw my light apricot-colored dragon boat, I felt relieved.
Sure enough, it looked quite decent, and it was submerged in a bunch of fancy dragon boat teams, just like Zhongqin's house was submerged in a bunch of meritorious families.
Qiao Yuning frowned slightly at this moment, a light blue handkerchief embroidered with orchids was covered by her lips, her vision was a little blurred, and there was a hint of sadness between her eyebrows. She only heard her read: "At this time, the boat is thousands of miles away.
The river is also stained with the tears of people who break willows and leave."
Wen Liang was standing next to her and happened to hear this sentence, and couldn't help but look at her in confusion.
Today she is wearing a light blue long coat, only the placket and cuffs are embroidered with water ripples of the same color. On her head are a few simple and exquisite small beaded flowers. Coupled with her plain white and delicate little face, she looks even more elegant.
, elegant and beautiful.
It is quite different from her eldest sister's temperament and appearance, just like spring flowers and autumn moon. Wen Liang thought silently in his heart.
Qiao Yuning seemed to realize that he was next to her, and she quickly smiled apologetically, "I made the fourth young master laugh, but I was here once before, accompanying my mother and others, and happened to meet a pair of good friends getting separated. It was the scene of March in spring, and the breeze
Together, catkins were flying, and the man picked a willow tree in his hand and watched his friend's boat go away for a long time. When I looked at the scene, it seemed as if I was in the loneliness of autumn."
"I don't know why, but I remembered the situation at that time, so I made a few random remarks."
She spoke softly and softly, and her frown seemed to have never relaxed. When she talked about this, she seemed to be back in that lonely scene again, adding a bit of sentimentality.
Wen Liang quickly smiled and said: "The second girl is thoughtful and talented, but right now..."
When Qiao Yuyan heard his gentle voice over there, she thought of the way these two people flirted with each other under her eyes in the previous life, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of anger in her heart.
"Second sister, if you want to see something that breaks the willow, you can come after the results are released. Many failed scholars will go back, and maybe you can see a few scenes of jumping into the river. I think there will be a lot of material for you to write about it by then.
It's better to be wet or dry than to disturb everyone's interest here with sour remarks and fake jealousy." This chapter has been completed!
