Zhong Niangzi Wanfu

Chapter 14
一
Spring is approaching, and the first month has not yet come out, and the students of the county school are preparing to rush to the capital of King Zhao in the north.

As soon as the Haizhu incident in Luanzhou was over, Zheng and Wen Shu rushed back immediately, and finally caught up with Wen Yi and Shen Feng's departure on the last day.

"Good boy, the two of you have never traveled far alone, let alone a place like Wangdu, where throwing a brick can knock down a lot of people who are either rich or noble. Keep it fresh.”

Seeing the newly grown Wen Yi, Ms. Zheng became sad. She held Wen Yi in one hand and Shen Feng in the other and said, "You two help each other. It's not as good as at home outside. When you get home, mother will make up for it for you." "

"Mom, how old am I?" Wen Yi grumbled, "Don't worry, the boy and Brother Fen will be nominated on the gold list, and live up to the expectations of parents, uncles and aunts of the Shen family."

"I checked again and everything is ready." Wen Shu hurried over, patted Wen Yi on the shoulder, and said for a long time, "The king is no better than his family, and he must think twice before he speaks or acts. There is nothing wrong with scientific examinations. It’s too much of a burden. I’m at home, so don’t worry.”

"Thank you, big sister, I understand." Wen Yi smiled brightly.

"Wen Er, Shen Da!" Zhang Zhuo saw the two of them when he left the door of the county school, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Have you packed everything?"

"With my eldest sister here, of course it's all right!" Wen Yi said proudly, wrapping his arms around Wen Shu's shoulders.

Wen Shu felt a little uncomfortable, glared at Wen Yi, got away, and nodded slightly to Zhang Zhu: "Mr. Zhang."

"Miss Wen." Zhang Zhu returned the greeting with a slight smile.

"Young Master Zhang, Brother Yi and Brother Feng have been causing trouble for you these days." Ms. Zheng said with a smile.

"Madam, you're welcome." Zhang Tong bowed to Mrs. Zheng, "We are brothers. This time I entered the royal capital with my uncle. We can still walk together and take care of each other. Madam, don't worry."

"Then thank you so much, Mr. Zhang."

Before leaving, Wen Shu pulled Shen Fie aside.

"What's wrong with Sister Shu?" Shen Feng bowed politely.

"Let me ask you, did you ask for your marriage to Zhong Lan, or did Aunt Shen help you find it?" Wen Shu said seriously.

Shen Feng narrowed his eyes and replied: "Of course Shen Feng asked for it."

Wen Shu was slightly stunned and asked hurriedly: "Then what do you think? Are you simply helping Zhong Lan delay marrying to the Qu family, or do you really want to marry her?"

Shen Feng was silent for a long time and said, "Of course, I am sincerely moved."

"I think Uncle and Aunt Shen's temperament won't let you do whatever you want." Wen Shu glanced at Shen Feng meaningfully.

"Although I don't know anything about you two, Zhong Lan and I grew up together. I advise you to be sincere. If you dare to feel sorry for Zhong Lan, I can't forgive you."

"Shen Feng doesn't dare." Shen Feng said hurriedly.

Only then did Wen Shu let Shen Feng go.

Zhang Meng planned to let Wen Yi and Shen Feng travel with his team.In order to avoid gossip, Zhang Jue left Zhang Zhu and took the lead.

Without the constraints of Zhang Jue, Zhang Yue and Wen Yi and Shen Feng had no worries. They lived and ate together and felt very comfortable.

Because they were on their way, the group did not indulge and arrived at the royal capital on February [-]st.

"We're finally here." Wen Yi jumped out of the carriage first, but froze on the spot.

The city wall towers into the sky, and a city gate plaque with "Royal Capital" written on it hangs high on the city wall, declaring the majesty of this city as the capital of a country.The moat surrounding the city flows quietly, but little does anyone know that there are many bright and sharp blades under the calm water protecting the imperial power in the city.

The simple and heavy city gate was about to be lowered, and the city gate soldiers wearing black iron armor were already standing on both sides.In the solemn atmosphere, no pedestrians spoke loudly, and they consciously lined up in two rows to wait for inspection into the city.

"As expected of the capital of a country, this time I have learned a lot." Wen Yi murmured.

Shen Feng also got out of the car and stared at the majestic city, clenching her hands slightly in the sleeves of her white robe.

Zhang Yan came to the royal capital for the first time because of his father Zhang Yan. After organizing a group of people to enter the city, he was about to take the two of them into the city when he suddenly saw a figure and was startled: "His Royal Highness Prince Li!"

"Long time no see, Zeren." A handsome man wearing a black gold robe with a cloud pattern and a phoenix bird, a white raccoon fur cloak, a gold crown on his head, and maroon climbing boots stepped back to attend the crowd. Smiling and slowly stepping forward.It was none other than the eighth prince of Beizhao, King Qi Cheng of Li.

"Wen Er, Shen Da, come and pay homage to His Highness Prince Li." Zhang Zhuo quickly greeted the two people not far away.

After hearing this, the two men stepped forward and saluted the visitor: "Greetings to His Royal Highness King Li."

"No." Qi Chengxu gave a hand, and looked at the two of them with a smile, "Is this the brother you met in Danzhou that you mentioned in your letter?"

Zhang Yan smiled sheepishly: "Exactly."

"The brother Zeren likes must have good conduct." A clear female voice came from behind.

When everyone heard the sound, they looked over and saw a woman wearing a moon-white long skirt, a warm yellow rabbit fur jacket, and a snow otter fur coat. She had three thousand blue silk hair and black hair slightly pulled up into a lady's bun by two jade hairpins. Her makeup was exquisite and decent, as if The beautiful and charming woman like a concubine stepped forward with dignified steps and stood beside Qi Cheng. The two of them were a perfect match.

That woman is Xu Songqing, the princess of Li Wang Qicheng. "Princess, Princess." Zhang Zhuo bowed to Xu Songqing in a proper manner, and Wen Yi and Shen Feng followed suit.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. Zeren is still unfamiliar. Have you forgotten that you always called brother and sister behind us?" Xu Songqing said jokingly, holding Qi Cheng's arm.

Zhang Zhuo was even more embarrassed.

"Don't make fun of him. If you keep talking, he may find a way to get into the cracks in the ground." Qi Cheng patted Xu Songqing's hand gently with a smile in his eyes.

Xu Songqing's smart eyes fell on Wen Yi and Shen Feng again. Seeing them both lowering their heads cautiously, she smiled easily and said, "The spring is going well."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess." Wen Yi and Shen Feng responded hurriedly.

Qi Cheng smiled after hearing this: "You don't need to be nervous or panic. The Chunwei examiner appointed by His Majesty this time is the most strict person in the court. If you have real talent and learning, you will definitely be able to fight for your own place in Beizhao. .”

Encouraged, Wen Yi and Shen Feng were overjoyed and thanked them again and again.

"His Majesty has summoned us to the palace because he has something to do. Let's leave first." Prince Li and his wife said goodbye to Zhang Zhuo and his party.

"My grandfather, Ren Guozi, taught the two highnesses for a while when he was offering wine, and I also interacted with them." Zhang Zhuo watched the King of Li drive away and explained softly to the two of them.

The three young men entered the city without staying long.

Because he is a child of an aristocratic family, Zhang Yue will not participate in this year's spring ceremony, and Zhang Jue is one of the examiners for this spring ceremony. Therefore, after entering the royal capital, it is inconvenient for Zhang Yue to interact with Wen Yi and Shen Feng.

Before Zhang Zhuo arrived in the royal capital, he wrote to his friends to find an academy that was quiet and close to Gongyuan for the two of them to prepare for the exam. He arranged a residence for the two of them and then left.

After everything was tidied up, Wen Yi lay on the large couch, looked at Shen Feng who was studying with a book and said with a smile: "Xiao Xianggong Shen is working very hard, are you sure you will get the top prize this time?"

Shen Feng glanced at Wen Yi helplessly, freed up a hand to stuff Ben Ce and went to Wen Yi's side: "There are many talented people in the capital this time, so you and I should not relax."

"Okay." Wen Yi stretched and stood up, picked up the strategy book and opened it, "I thought I was very tired today and wanted to be lazy, but I thought I might as well study hard."

The two young men studied hard non-stop, trying their best to create a peaceful future for themselves, their family, and the people.

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of February, and the ninth day of the second lunar month was the time for the two of them to take the exam.

"Everything is ready." Wen Yi checked his luggage three times in a row before feeling relieved.

Shen Feng looked at the peach blossoms that were about to bloom in the courtyard. He must have thought that the students would be as gorgeous as the trees and flowers in spring.

"Second Master, there is a female envoy outside who claims to be from Wu Ding and wants to see Mr. Shen." Wen Yi's servant Yun Lang came through the arch to report to the two of them.

"Wu Ding?" Wen Yi couldn't think of anyone in Wu Ding who could come to Shen Feng the day before spring.

However, Shen Feng walked out quickly as if he knew who was coming.

Standing at the door waiting for the announcement was Chang Huan beside Zhong Lan.

Seeing Shen Feng coming out, Chang Huan hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Xiao Xianggong Shen and Second Master Wen are really good at choosing places. They are hiding in such a remote and peaceful place, making it easy to find. If they hadn't met Mr. Zhang's side, He Ming is kind enough to lead the way, but I'm afraid that when the two young masters return home from their exams, the servants won't be able to find them."

Shen Yan smiled back: "But what's the matter with your girl?"

Chang Huan took off the baggage on his shoulder and handed it to Shen Feng: "Early spring is the most warm and cold at first. The girl was afraid of the cold in the Gongyuan, so she stayed up for a month to make a quilt and asked the slaves to deliver it to Mr. Shen."

Shen Feng was slightly startled, then took the baggage with both hands, as if that beautiful figure flashed before his eyes, sewing non-stop for countless days and nights.She had clearly said that she was not good at sewing, so she must have suffered a lot during the sewing process.

"The girl also asked the slave to bring a message to the young husband, so that the young husband should not be moved and the top priority is to do his best to take the exam." Chang Huan looked at Shen Feng carefully and said with a smile.

"I'd like to thank your girl." Shen Feng nodded slightly to Chang Huan, "Shen Feng will try his best to live up to his expectations."

"Only one?" Wen Yi walked out of the door, seeing that it was Chang Huan, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Is it from sister?"

Chang Huan said with a smile: "The girl said that she only has enough time to do this one thing. Considering that the Wen family has a big business, Mr. Wen must not look down on this."

"Tch." Wen Yi crossed his arms, "If you're not prepared, just say you're not prepared."

Chang Huan pursed his lips and said goodbye with a smile.

Wen Yi suddenly became confused and squinted at Shen Feng: "What's going on with you two?"

Seeing Shen Feng's silence, Wen Yi took a breath: "You two, it can't be true, right?"

"Take the exam with peace of mind. If you continue to think wildly, be careful and I will tell Sister Shu and Aunt Wen when you go back." Shen Feng left Wen Yi with a smile and turned around and entered the door.

"you dare!"
