White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 27

Because of Wen Ning and Shen Jin's divorce, Wen Tingchun thought about it for a while.

He doesn't need to pursue power and power, and he doesn't seek high officials and high salaries, and he himself is indeed not a person who is greedy for power.

But what about his children?Not to mention Wen Lan and Wen Qi, a man has to rely on himself to make a fortune, but Wen Ning, a daughter's family, even if he finds a good family for her through thousands of choices, in the future she will marry her, the first few years It is probably harmonious and beautiful, but after a long time, how can there be no friction between husband and wife?

If at that time her natal family is not strong enough to support her, where will she go if she is wronged?
Maybe it's time for him to adjust his direction, put the center back into the officialdom, and manage it well.After all, the children are already grown up, and they will no longer mess around like they did when they were young.

So these days, he puts extra effort into his official duties, and besides, he is indeed busier than usual during the three-year scientific examination.I don't want him to be slapped in the face by those "grown up" children after he ignored his family for a few days.

Wen Ning knew early on that she couldn't escape this way, so she knelt down straight with a plop, without any struggle.

Wen Tingchun immediately yelled: "Old Qin, please ask for family law!"

"Master..." Qin Butler wanted to persuade.

"Go!" Wen Tingchun's gray beard between his mouth and nose was trembling, obviously out of breath.

"Daddy, it's all daughter's fault, so don't be angry, Daddy." Wen Ning knelt on the ground and said honestly.

"You still know that I will be angry? Why don't you just piss me off, huh?" Wen Tingchun hadn't been so aggressive with Wen Ning for many years, but today's facts broke his cognition.

Today, when he was not on duty today, he felt that his subordinates who were very respectful on weekdays would look at him from time to time, as if hesitant to speak, wanting to say something but daring not to say it.

After seeing it many times, he simply caught one of them and asked, but he was half smiling, half inquiring, half reporting: "My lord, I heard... I heard that your family went to the list to catch a son-in-law today?"

It was completely beyond his imagination, and it took him a few breaths to realize what "catching a son-in-law under the list" was for.

But the man continued to want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh and said: "We still caught... the new champion Wang Zi?"

Wen Tingchun still remembers the feeling at that time, he only felt that the blood all over his body rushed upwards, his face should even be flushed.

"Marriage is an important matter, the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents. To catch a son-in-law! Who taught you? Who gave you the courage? Huh?" Wen Tingchun paced back and forth around Wen Ning, no matter what, he was soft and weak, obedient Qiaoqiao's daughter would actually do such a shocking thing behind his back!
"If you fall in love with the prince and tell me, daddy will invite a matchmaker to come to the door and plan for you wholeheartedly!" Wen Tingchun really couldn't figure it out, "Although daddy didn't rank among the three princes and nine ministers, did he talk about marriage for you?" Have no ability?"

Wen Ning remained silent.

It's not because I'm afraid that you will tell the truth.

"What's more, that prince, is the number one scholar personally appointed by the imperial pen! He is the first six-year-old and number one scholar in my dynasty! How can you let him get married so easily?"

Wen Ning lowered her head: "Ah Ning is wrong."

"Old Qin! Are your legs long?!" Wen Tingchun yelled at Butler Qin.

Qin Butler knew that the master loved the only girl in the entire family the most, and thought that after the anger was over, he would not be willing to beat her, so he took the ruler, but deliberately hid it to one side.

But after Wen Tingchun yelled at him like that, he had no choice but to step forward and hand over the ruler.

Wen Tingchun held the ruler: "Do you know that this action will damage your boudoir's reputation, and even the Wen family's face?"

"It's Ah Ning's fault." Wen Ning stretched out her hand resignedly.

Wen Tingchun gritted his teeth and was about to come down with a ruler.

"Father! No!"

"Father! This is all my idea for my sister!"

Wen Lan and Wen Qi hurried over together, and knelt down straight in front of Wen Tingchun, very skillful.

Wen Lan: "Father! It's all because of my son's poor handling of this matter, and my sister is young, so how can I understand those great principles!"

Wen Qi: "Father! I brought someone to Wang's house to catch his son-in-law. It has nothing to do with Ah Ning! I have thick skin, if you want to hit me, hit me!"

When Wen Tingchun saw these two sons, he was even more angry. No one informed his father about such a big matter, did he think his father died?
"You know about this?" Wen Tingchun asked Wen Lan with a deep breath.

Wen Lan didn't want to say it, but she had to say: "Before... my son set up a line for my younger sister and asked her to meet Prince Wang, but..."

"You...you..." Wen Tingchun felt his blood rushing up again.

Wen Qi hurriedly said: "Father, don't get so angry!"

Having said that, it reminded Wen Tingchun of Wen Qi's sentence yesterday, "Father, you are in good health recently", but it is not counted to today's incident!
"Old Qin! Use the stick!"

When Wen Ning saw her two older brothers coming, she kept winking at them to tell them not to talk, since her father loved her, she would be fine after a few strokes.

But brothers are different.

Sure enough, he went straight to the stick.

Wen Ning knelt on the ground dejectedly, made the last struggle, and looked at Wen Tingchun with tears in her eyes: "Father, it was Ah Ning's idea alone. It was Ah Ning who begged my elder brother to arrange for me to meet the prince, knowing that he would not agree to my list." I wanted to catch my son-in-law, so I lied to him that the prince was interested in me, and then I asked my second elder brother to help me, Daddy, both elder brothers love me as much as you do, that's why..."

"Do you know that brothers love you and still do such a thing? I'm afraid the whole capital will laugh at you before tomorrow morning! When you ask your two brothers to marry wives in the future..."

"Father, I don't have to marry!"

"Father, I won't marry either!"

Wen Ning: "..."

Don't say a few words, brothers.

Wen Tingchun: "Where is the stick! Stick!!!"

In the end, Wen Lan and Wen Qi were hit with ten sticks each, Wen Ning was hit with five rulers, and Wen Tingchun also punished Wen Ning with a one-month grounding.

Back in the room, Ling Lan gave Wen Ning some medicine in distress, she wanted to babble a few words, but she swallowed the words because she had suffered enough scolding from the master.

But she really couldn't understand, why did it have to go to this point?This time her husband was not caught, and he was beaten. In the early morning tomorrow, the news that the only daughter of the Wen family fell in love with the number one scholar Wang You and did not hesitate to list her son-in-law would spread throughout the streets and alleys.

"Where's the bank note?" Wen Ning knelt for more than half an hour. She was lying on the bed when she suddenly remembered this important matter and jumped up, "Linglan, do you still have the bank note?"

"I'm here. You lead those two officers and soldiers away for me, and I'll go straight home." Linglan sighed.

Even if it is 5000 taels of silver, it is not as important as boudoir reputation.

Wen Ning lay back on the bed, but heaved a sigh of relief.

Victory in this battle.

Although there were some surprises, the ultimate goal was achieved.

After this incident, Pei You decided not to associate her with that little girl six years ago.

She also got a lot of silver.

What is a boudoir reputation compared to a comfortable life?After half a month, Pei You will be recognized by the Duke's Mansion, and by then, those who laugh at her may say that she has good eyesight.

Will be able to sleep well tonight.

But it was true that they didn't have dinner tonight, Wen Tingchun was furious and fined them not to eat dinner for another three days.

Fortunately, I ate enough at Mrs. Wang's place.

Wen Ning thought of those two bowls of noodles, um... so delicious.

But she doesn't envy Pei You to have a mother anymore.Besides her father, she has two older brothers who love her, don't they?

After taking a bath, Wen Ning lay comfortably on the bed, and it was fine to be confined for a month. These days, in order to deal with Pei You, she has been worrying and calculating all day long, and now she can finally take a good rest.

Wait for her to rest for a while before making plans for the days ahead.

Wen Ning quickly fell asleep.

She thought that she would sleep in an extremely comfortable and deep sleep, but she didn't think it was actually not safe.

She always felt as if she forgot something.

The sea of ​​consciousness floats up and down, and all kinds of broken pictures turn around in turn.

She kept wondering what she had forgotten.

Until a light flashed in her mind suddenly, she opened her eyes.

It was a quiet night, and the room was dark, with only a few rays of moonlight shining on the window lattice.

She sat up.It's already April, and the night is no longer cold, but she still feels a little bit of coolness creeping up to her skin through the quilt.

She remembered.

Remember what she forgot.

For her in her previous life, it was a very small thing, probably just a casual mention after dinner one day.

But it solved her previous doubts.

Why did Wang Qinsheng stop following Pei You after he returned to the Duke's Mansion?Why has she never met Mrs. Wang after being by Pei You's side for so many years, and she didn't even hear him mention it anymore.

In April of the 14th year of Jiahe, the eldest princess Ronghua found her long-lost biological son, and she was welcomed back home after telling the Holy Majesty.

On the day when the ancestors were recognized and returned to the clan, the royal house was flooded, and a fire burned a couple and a servant in the house to the bone.
