Chapter 123 Kiss Goodbye
Wang Jiu heard all the conversation outside and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was too early for the child to worry. Wen Yan didn't seem to be aware of his feelings for her.
The purpose of returning to Beijing this time was very strange. The emperor wanted to build a glazed tower for the imperial concubine. Logically speaking, the money collected now was not enough.
Combined with what the spies reported, it was probably because the old emperor noticed the unusual behavior of his two sons and was afraid for his own death, so he summoned him back.
After all, Wang Jiu's evil skills are almost invincible in the world, and he is also an obedient dog.
The capital city is dangerous and I don’t know if he can come back alive.
"Madam Wen, the provincial examination will be held in a few months. Where do you plan to go?" Wang Jiu asked while adding firewood to the bottom of the pot.
Wen Yan glanced at him and thought the question was a bit strange: "Of course, go to Pengcheng, this is the closest one."
Pengcheng...
"There is a famous Penglai Academy in Pengcheng. Their dean is Liao Qing, one of the seven great painters. He has a son named Liao Zhu, who is an excellent writer." The firelight flickered on Wang Jiu's face, as if he had something unfinished to say.
"Really? Dong Ling is also good at writing."
"Every year, Liao Qing would select students from among the students. If he found someone with talent, he would bring him back to Penglai Academy to train him." Wang Jiu said slowly, "There are about a dozen people selected every year, but occasionally these people who left their hometown would disappear or commit suicide."
The kitchen was very hot, but Wen Yan felt a chill all over her body when she heard his words. "What do you mean?"
"There may be something fishy going on in Penglai Academy."
Wen Yan knew that this was a reminder to her that Wan Dongling wrote well and might become one of the students selected by the academy.
After calming down, I asked him, "How many years has this been going on?"
"About ten years."
"No one checked?"
"It was all an accident."
Wen Yan frowned slightly, "I will be careful, thank you. But we haven't heard anything about Penglai Academy yet, maybe we are not even within their range of choice."
"I hope so."
The food was served, and Wang Jiu took a short rest here, as the time agreed with his men was coming soon.
The moonlight was just right, and Wang Jiu stood up and said, "Madam Wen, could you give me a ride?"
Wen Yan naturally has no problem.
But Wan Xuan had a problem. She had originally been standing next to Wen Yan and glared at Wang Jiu. At this point, of course she had to follow him: "I'll send him off too!"
The moonlight fell on Chunxing Village, and all the flowers, plants and trees were dimly visible. Only the people around him could see his face clearly.
Wang Jiu looked at Wen Yan almost greedily, and he said: "When we first met, I was trying to catch Ye Qinghuai, and I never thought that there would be someone with such great strength that I couldn't defeat you without some tricks."
Wen Yan chuckled: "Why did you arrest him then? Did the emperor order it?"
Wang Jiu did not give a direct answer, but instead said: "The forces in the capital are complicated, especially in recent years, factional disputes have added fuel to the quagmire." It was the joint push of many parties that prompted his behavior.
Under the tree at the entrance of the village.
Wang Jiu said, "Just send it here."
He stopped, lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Yan quietly, "I don't know when I will see you next time."
"Are you really here to see me, or do you want to eat the food I cook?" Wen Yan said mischievously, "There is a long way to go. If the eldest brother can pass the provincial examination this year, I will take him to the capital to take the examination next year."
Wang Jiu also smiled. He glanced at Wan Xuan and suddenly covered her eyes with his big hands.
Before Wen Yan could react, she suddenly felt a soft sensation between her eyebrows.
Her first reaction was that this person, whose whole body was so cold, had warm lips today.
By the time Wan Xuan pulled his hand away, Wang Jiu had already stepped away. "A parting gift. I'm leaving."
Wan Xuan looked at his back angrily and asked Wen Yan: "Mom, what did he do to you just now!"
Wen Yan shook her head and took Wan Xuan home. When she was almost at the door of her house, she realized that Wang Jiu might like her.
When she thought of the things he had done for her and the gifts he had given her, Wen Yan suddenly felt that she was extremely slow.
This kiss completely upset Wen Yan's heart, especially since the other party didn't even pursue her. It seemed that his biggest request was to accompany her, and she couldn't even refuse.
Lying on the bed, Wen Yan took out the token and dagger that Wang Jiu gave her from the space.
Under the moonlight, the gems inlaid on the dagger are of exquisite shapes, and they must have been deliberately carved.
There is also a token.
This token looked like a strange pattern. When Wen Yan took her hand away, she found that there was a dent on the token... It seemed to be the place where her fingernail had just touched it.
Wen Yan picked up the dagger and used the back of it to scrape off all the covered parts of the token.
The true appearance of the token was revealed. Wen Yan's eyes froze as she whispered, "Golden Medal of Immunity from Death..."
It turned out to be a golden medal for immunity from death!
What should I do? I must return it to him next time we meet.
...
At the end of April, there were only two months left before Wan Dongling left for the exam.
Wen Yan was at home with Yang, when Xiang Yun suddenly came back. You know, ever since the Death Tower started operating, she stayed in the base of the Death Tower for the entire day, and rarely came back.
But now he came back angrily and pulled out a small box from his sleeve: "Is this the idea you gave him?"
Wen Yan raised her lips slightly, picked up the box and saw a very delicate comb inside. On the comb was written the words "Forever Together".
Wen Yan laughed out loud, "I didn't expect that he would actually go to the store I recommended."
"You clearly know what sending combs here in Xiahe Town means... and the store you recommended is clearly specially prepared for those lovers!"
"I know," Wen Yan said with a smile, "Giving a comb as a gift means growing old together and being together forever, doesn't it?"
“You knew you were still recommending this?”
"You are companions and good partners. So what if I give you a comb and you grow old together?"
Xiang Yun was already feeling embarrassed, and when he saw that Wen Yan didn't think it was wrong at all, he was immediately frustrated: "I really lost to you, but my senior brother and I...it's really impossible for us."
"Why?"
"You won't understand even if I tell you. Anyway, don't match people up randomly!"
The two were arguing when suddenly an uninvited guest came to the door.
At the beginning, they asked Wen Yan to be their nominal dean. It has been so long now, but in fact, it is really just a nominal dean. There is no need for Wen Yan to do anything. He has visited before, but has rarely visited recently.
Bai Quande's face was filled with joy. When he saw Wen Yan, he immediately said, "Happy event, great joy!"
"What good news?" Wen Yan put away her smile and looked at him with a little distance.
"Madam Wen, I wonder if you have heard of Penglai Academy in Pengcheng? It is the benchmark of our academy! My father dreamed of establishing a relationship with Penglai Academy. I didn't expect that they would come to you before you did anything here!"
Penglai Academy?
Wen Yan had a bad feeling in her heart. Isn't this the academy that Wang Jiu told her about?
Sure enough, Bai Quande continued, "Someone from that academy came and said they would like to invite Dong Ling to study at their academy!"
