Chapter 118
The conversation between Wen Lang and Zhou Yuelan's husband and wife left everyone present dumbfounded, it was such a big show.
Zhou Yuelan was extremely flustered in her heart, but she was still trying to maintain her composure on the face, and when she finally left, Zhou Yuelan still cried and pretended that she had been wronged by Wen Lang and suffered a great grievance.
Someone came to make trouble twice in a day, hindering the guests from eating. Wen Lang was the first to ask for compensation. The guests all praised Wen Lang for his generosity, but they didn't know that Wen Lang had secretly blamed all of this on the Wen family. Sooner or later they have to be returned.
Because of her guilty conscience, Zhou Yuelan didn't encourage Wen Shilun to find Wen Lang any more troubles. After returning home and dismissing Wen Shilun, Zhou Yuelan went to Wen Pingting with a sullen face, and just raised her hand to slap her.
Wen Pingting was stunned by her mother, and the maids on the side were also terrified. Zhou Yuelan's eyes were fixed, she waved the servant back, and just now she pointed at Wen Pingting through gritted teeth and said, "That's your brother, you are Do you treat him like this? We will have to rely on your younger brother in the future, do you know? Now, you have harmed your younger brother for your own self-interest. I think who will support you when you marry in the future. "
"Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Wen Pingting was trembling all over, covering her face, her eyes dodging.
"Don't pretend to me. You crawled out of my stomach. How can I not know your temperament? You like that You Jingshu so much? He relies on Wen Lang for everything now, except for his face. Not at all, not to mention that his father was charged with corruption and bribery. Three generations of his family were not allowed to take the imperial examination. Even if he is interested in you, what good can you get if you marry him? Or do you think he will take Wen Lang? This golden doll is rested, and you can be righted?"
Every word Zhou Yuelan said pierced Wen Pingting's heart, her pupils flickered and she stammered, "But...but I just like him!"
"You really like him so much, why didn't you say it back then? If it wasn't for your sake, would I have let Wen Lang marry him for you? How could he be notorious?" Zhou Yuelan hated iron.
Wen Pingting was stunned, and she didn't know what she wanted. She really liked You Jingshu, but she didn't want to let her go to suffer with You Jingshu.
Zhou Yuelan saw that her eyes were straightened, and took the opportunity to grab her hand to persuade her: "You listen to mother, how could mother hurt you, the husband and son-in-law chosen for you this time, even if you don't understand now, you will understand later. Now that something happened to your brother, mother can only rely on you, you must marry, and I will hide your brother's matter from you."
This remark made Wen Pingting tremble all over, yes, her father can't let her know that she killed her younger brother for her own selfish desire, if her father finds out, he will beat her to death.
Wen Pingting, who was in a trance, finally nodded slowly, "I'll marry you."
"Mother's good boy, remember, mother is for your own good." Zhou Yuelan hugged Wen Pingting, as if saying a spell, and kept repeating it until it was engraved in Wen Pingting's mind, letting her Convinced.
……
The New Year came quietly, Wen Lang rubbed the center of his brows, and put down the account book. Sure enough, when the New Year came, he was extraordinarily busy.
When he returned to the mansion, he heard from his servants that someone came from the palace at noon today and sent an invitation, which was said to be an invitation letter for the New Year banquet.
Wen Lang opened the invitation and looked at it. It was really a headache. Going to have a New Year's Eve dinner with the emperor on Chinese New Year is no different from having a meal with your boss, and you will definitely have a stomachache.
"You can come with your family, you come with me?" Wen Lang handed the invitation to You Jingshu.
It was inconvenient for You Mingyuan and Song Lingwan to show up, Wen Lang felt that this kind of banquet should not be a big deal, so he had to be careful not to say the wrong thing.
It's better for the couple to do this kind of drudgery.
"Okay." You Jingshu agreed.
"You used to participate often, right?" Wen Lang leaned into You Jingshu's arms and asked.
"Well, at the banquet, His Majesty will present examination questions, and those who can answer well, or answer well, will be rewarded." You Jingshu recalled the banquets in previous years, and it seemed that he had won the first place for a few years. Later, he felt that it was boring, so he just Take a look, very little involvement.
"This new year is not peaceful." Wen Lang thinks that when eating, one should concentrate on eating. This is a respect for food. Eating while answering questions will really make you indigestible.
Hearing Wen Lang's complaints, You Jingshu chuckled and said, "Your Majesty probably won't order you, just eat with peace of mind."
Wen Lang sat up abruptly, quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't, don't, don't set this kind of flag."
"What do you mean?" You Jingshu can hear some strange words from Wen Lang's mouth from time to time. He used to explore them in his heart, but now he is used to it. When you tell him, you will naturally tell him.
Wen Lang explained it to him, You Jingshu nodded, "So that's what it means."
"So, don't say anything. If I go back and marry you after I finish this battle, it's a flag of death!" Wen Lang warned.
You Jingshu chuckled, and said with a smile on his face, "I won't say, did you forget? I married you a long time ago."
"That's right, hahahaha..." Wen Lang scratched the back of his head, laughed and fell into You Jingshu's arms.
You Jingshu pinched Wen Lang's ear helplessly and connivingly, and said, "We can't go back for the time being, wait a little longer, we can go home."
Wen Lang understood what he meant. Now that the situation in Pingcheng is changing, and Da'an is troubled by internal and external troubles, You Jingshu has long been involved in it, and naturally he cannot be alone. They have to wait until everything is calm before they can go back to Linxi Village and continue Live their days of idle clouds and wild cranes.
"Okay." Wen Lang held his hand and told him silently, I will be by your side.
You Jingshu pulled the corner of his lips and kissed Wen Lang's. Wen Lang hugged his neck and pressed his head down.
You Jingshu took advantage of the opportunity to hug Wen Lang. Wen Lang is now 1.8 meters tall, and his weight is naturally not much lighter, but You Jingshu still easily hugged him, kissing him non-stop, and calmly moved towards him. Walk to the bed.
……
When Wen Lang and You Jingshu met An Yinheng in the palace, it was rare for An Yinheng to wear the clothes of a prince, and he put away his usual laughing demeanor, and when he stood there, he really looked like a dragon and a phoenix.
In the past, many people saluted and greeted An Yinheng, but An Yinheng responded indifferently. At this time, it was rare for Wen Lang to see the demeanor unique to the prince from him.
"He's really a prince." Wen Lang said with emotion.
You Jingshu understood what he meant, and said: "Yinheng is very casual on weekdays, but he will still look like he should be at critical times."
"I understand, that means he won't lose the chain at critical times, right?" As soon as Wen Lang finished speaking, he saw An Yinheng walking towards them.
"Why are you two looking at me and saying bad things about me?" When An Yinheng came over to talk to them, the alienated atmosphere on his body disappeared a lot.
Wen Lang frowned, and said, "No, when the two of us are together, we seldom talk about others."
An Yinheng was caught off guard by being sour, and he rubbed his goosebumps.
"I've never seen such a nasty brother like you."
Wen Lang said indifferently, "Have you learned a lot now?"
He looked around and asked An Yinheng, "Why didn't you see Xijue?"
"He will come with his grandfather later." An Yinheng explained.
Meng Xijue's grandfather was Ji Guogong. When the Tai|Zu conquered the world, he relied on the financial support of the Meng family. Later, there was a large-scale famine in the Da'an Dynasty, and it was the Meng family who helped, so the Meng family was sealed Duke, the Meng family's ancestors have been imperial merchants for generations, and no one can shake their family's position. Of course, this is also inseparable from the huge contribution the Meng family makes to fill the national treasury every year.
Meng Xijue is the legitimate son of the Meng family. He has been intelligent since he was a child, and he is deeply loved by his grandfather. Even his father can't surpass him, and the position of the next Duke of Ji will also be passed on to him.
That's why You Jingshu said that it was difficult for An Yinheng and Meng Xijue to be together, almost impossible.
"Fifth brother, what are you doing here?"
An Yinheng turned his head when he heard the sound, "Third brother, I'm talking to Jing Shu and his wife."
It was the third prince An Yinyuan who came, and An Yinyuan came over to say hello to You Jingshu and the two, and couldn't help but linger on Wen Lang for a while, as if he was surprised that a brother Wen Lang could grow up like this.
Wen Lang calmly let him look at him, but You Jingshu took a step forward unhappily, blocking Wen Lang with his body, An Yinyuan realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and quickly looked away, "Sorry, I just feel that, Uncle seems to have practiced martial arts?"
"Your Highness the Third Prince has good eyesight. I have learned a little bit from my husband, so I have the right to strengthen my body." Wen Lang smiled slightly, and pulled You Jingshu out as a shield.
"So that's it." An Yinyuan believed it very simply, and asked An Yinheng if he wanted to go with him. They are princes, so the seats are naturally arranged together. An Yinheng saw that the time was almost up, so he followed An Yinheng Yuan went.
"The third prince seems to be quite easy to deceive." Wen Lang leaned into You Jingshu's ear and said.
"The third prince has a relatively simple personality. He doesn't do well in school and is obsessed with martial arts. Since he was a child, he has determined to go to the battlefield to kill enemies and defend his family and country. However, his status obviously does not allow him to do that." You said. Jing Shu and the princes had studied together, so he was quite familiar with these princes.
"So that's it, it's good." Wen Lang and You Jingshu talked, and quickly walked to their places.
Many people around came forward to say hello to them, Wen Lang was not familiar with these officials at all, it was all thanks to You Jingshu's reminder.
After they took their seats, Wen Lang noticed that their seats were relatively in front.
"Who is that next to An Yinheng?" Wen Lang asked gossip.
"That's the fourth prince, An Yinxi. His biological mother is Wang Zhaoyi. Wang Zhaoyi is more cautious. The fourth prince is influenced by her, and he rarely speaks out." You Jingshu whispered to him.
Indeed, as You Jingshu said, when the fourth prince talked to An Yinheng, he always lowered his head and hunched his back, looking submissive, like a patient with social phobia.
"Is that the prince? The sixth prince is with him?" Wen Lang looked at the position closest to the dragon chair, which should be the crown prince's position.
The prince had a straight face, and he sat very upright before the banquet started. The sixth prince next to him was still young and was very curious about everything. He poked here and looked there, and raised his face timidly to talk to the prince. Unfortunately, The prince ignored him.
"Well, they are all born of the empress. The sixth prince was born prematurely and is not in good health. The empress regards him as a treasure." You Jingshu said.
Wen Lang's eyes flickered, he didn't worry about the few but the unevenness, the prince must be very jealous of this younger brother.
