The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 19 Past events

It was a good thing that the eldest lady of the Wen family didn't go out, but when she went out, she gave them such a blow. The comments about her in the past would inevitably reach her ears. It was better to end this farce as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble.

The pavilion in the corner of the garden facing here was originally empty, but now it was full of people.

"This little girl from the Wen family looks fragile, but she is actually very sharp-tongued. She is the best-looking among these young ladies. If she hadn't already been engaged to the prince, we would still be able to fight for her."

"Brother Zhang is really good at putting gold on his face. With the Wen family from such a family, the Holy Master has always regarded Taifu Wen as his mentor, even if he is a crown prince, it is not an exaggeration."

"Lord Liu, what you said is wrong. If she is the crown prince, the Zhang family's family background is even better."

"Don't forget, many people in the capital want to discuss marriage with Brother Chen, and the Zhang family seems to be willing as well. It's difficult for Miss Zhang Er to be the crown princess!"

"Colleagues, please do not spread rumors that are groundless, so as not to ruin the reputation of others." Chen Shu looked at the female family members not far away, with a cold look on his brows.

Wen Jiu seemed to notice the figures in the corridor and glanced at them subconsciously.

Chen Shu lightly closed his eyes and lowered his eyes, as if everything had nothing to do with him, but the waves in his eyes could not be concealed.

He silently recited two words in his heart, Wen Jiu
  "Princess Six is ​​here!"

Everyone knelt down and worshiped. They had known that the sixth princess would come to the chrysanthemum appreciation feast, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to gain the princess's appreciation.

The name of the sixth princess is Si Huai'an. Her biological mother was once the most beloved concubine of the current Holy Emperor, but unfortunately she passed away early.

Emperor Wenyuan took great pity on Si Huai'an, who lost his mother when he was young, so he named her the queen and became the most favored princess in the palace.

Today I saw that she was wearing a thin pink fairy dress with wide sleeves, a jingle ring around her waist, and a delicate jade lock on her chest. She was really noble and luxurious.

Si Huai'an stood in the corridor and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Wen Jiu.
  "Jiu'er?" She was quite surprised, with a smile on her face: "The queen mother said that you would come to this banquet, but I didn't expect that you actually came."

"Your Majesty Wen Jiu, I have met the Sixth Princess." Wen Jiu had already restrained his sharpness and obediently bowed to the woman in the corridor.

"Are you feeling better?" Si Huaian quickly stepped forward to help her up and asked with concern on his face.

She remembered Wen Jiu. She lost her mother when she was young. Wen Jiu often accompanied her to the palace, playing and making noises with her. Later, she never entered the palace again due to physical discomfort.

"My mother always said that you are not in good health. Now I see that you are in good health. Please come to the palace to see me more often in the future."

Si Huai'an obviously didn't notice the people still kneeling on the ground, and just kept talking to Wen Jiu.

"Okay, I will bring the latest novelties outside the palace into the palace to accompany the princess the next day."

Wen Jiu lowered his eyes silently. Wasn't the Sixth Princess really sent by Lu Xu? What a coincidence.

There is an inconspicuous old door deep in the alley, and Chen Shu and his family live inside.

This house does not look like an official family at all. Although Chen Shu holds an official position, he is a man of strong character and uprightness.

At this time, he had just been transferred to the capital. The land in the capital was very expensive, so it was natural to only live in this small courtyard.

Chen Shu and Chen Miao had just walked into the yard, where Chen's mother was drying clothes.

"You're back? Mom will prepare dinner for you." Mother Chen quickly put away the basin on the floor and planned to go to the kitchen to cook.

Chen's father left early, and it was not easy for Chen's mother to raise two children alone. Although Chen Shu worked hard and frugally, he still had to spend the money needed to study and take exams.

Mother Chen makes money by running a stall during the day, and supplements her income by doing laundry for others at night. She has been very hardworking for most of her life, and naturally she cannot compare with those women who were born into high families.

"Brother, the one who helped me out in the market that day was also Sister Wen." Chen Miao was in shock along the way, especially when she found out that her brother had witnessed the incident. Chen Shu frowned and didn't say anything. He just stepped forward and took the washbasin from Chen's mother's hand and put it aside.

"Brother, I didn't mean to cause trouble for you." Chen Miao already felt that she had been greatly wronged, but at this moment she was even more sad that her brother ignored her.

"Don't call her sister, she is younger than you." Chen Shu lowered his eyes, feeling unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

The pretty girl who bumped into his arms at the corner, the young lady from an aristocratic family who was so bright and flamboyant in the garden today, and... a long time ago
  "

The heavy rain poured down, and a slight chill penetrated people's hearts. Chen Shu stood in the rain in despair, looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the ground with a sense of despair.

But no matter how cold the weather was, I couldn't be more chilled by being ridiculed, belittled and humiliated by the group of children from aristocratic families just now.

"Young master is very talented. Don't belittle yourself. Take this jade pendant to the Wen Mansion and ask to see Mr. Wen. He will definitely accept you as his disciple."

Not far away, a woman wearing a curtain hat walked up with a clear and moving voice. The maid beside her held a tung oil umbrella high, for fear that she would be caught in the rain.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the girl advised again: "No one can decide his own birth. If you have great ambitions, you will definitely be able to rise to the top in the future. I will help you now, just remember to repay me in the future."

Seeing the girl get on the carriage, there was a wooden sign hanging on it, with the word "Wen" clearly engraved on it. Chen Shu clutched the jade pendant tightly, as if holding the only light in the world.

In this world, there are actually people who are willing to hold up a small piece of heaven and earth for him.

Taifu Wen is the emperor's master, and becoming his disciple is the dream of almost all scholars, and he is no exception.

Half a month later, he stood at the door of the Wen Mansion and asked to see Mr. Wen. The young man who opened the door saw that he was dressed in plain blue cloth and had his hair tied up with a bamboo hairpin. He was a little hesitant.

He took out the jade pendant from his arms with some fear, and the young man's eyes suddenly lit up, "So you are the person recommended by the young lady. The master has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Dare I ask, little brother, who is the young lady you are talking about?" Although Chen Shu was rigid and polite, he couldn't help but want to know who that girl was.

"Of course it's Wen Jiu, the eldest lady of our Wen family. She is the apple of our master's eye and is very loved by the family."

"Wenjiu."

It turns out that some names will make you panic when you hear them in the future.

'

As the sun set, Wen's carriage passed slowly on the official road.

"Why did you hit someone today?" Mrs. Wen's face looked a little ugly. This was the first time Wen had attended a high-level banquet since Ji Ji, and he actually had a fight with Miss Bofu in someone else's house.

Wen Jiu lowered his eyes and said a little aggrievedly: "My father and mother taught me since I was a child that I should never hit anyone no matter what."

"Then you still turn a deaf ear to our words?" Mrs. Wen scolded her, but she still knew her daughter's temperament.

"That girl in the Liu Mansion is really bad-tempered, but you not only carried out your father, but also moved the prince out for the sake of the Chen Shu brothers and sisters. I'm afraid that if the news reaches the eldest princess's manor, someone will start gossiping again."

And such good things?

Wen Jiu's eyebrows relaxed instantly, and even the drooped corners of his mouth were smiling.

Maybe the eldest princess will break off the engagement after hearing these things?
