The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 223 223. Wealth path

Wen Mengsheng was humiliated. His eyes were as ferocious as those of a hungry wolf. Anger filled his chest. Reason and etiquette were all thrown out of his mind. He stared at Feng Er as he spat out each word.

“Brother Feng, be careful that this whip hits the wrong people and makes the family angry!”

"Don't worry, Mr. Wen, although this whip is disobedient, it is very reasonable and will only hit those who deserve to be hit!"

The word should be said, and when he gritted his teeth, Wen Mengsheng did not argue with him, but he said that he said anger to Feng Jinyao, who was angry.

“Third Miss, please forgive me, I have to go back to review my studies, so I won’t stay any longer. When I’m in high school, I’ll definitely come to my house to ask for a drink.”

 He is very shameless and does not feel ashamed to say such things.

Feng Er wanted to have a fit again, but was stopped by Feng Jinyao, who smiled sweetly at him and said, "Then we will wait for the good news from Mr. Wen."

 Seeing what she did, I felt even more certain.

The Feng family most likely took a fancy to him. They glanced at the carriage behind them proudly. Even though they were separated by the wooden door, they could still see who his disdain was directed at.

 After nodding and saluting, he rode away.

Feng Er was so angry that he turned around and asked Feng Jinyao, "Why are you so kind to him today?"

"Why should a person who is about to die look good?"

Feng Jinyao smiled so horribly.

Even someone as close as Feng Er found it a bit creepy. He had never seen such an expression on his sister's face.

 “Checkmate? What does it mean?”

Before he could ask further, Yin Canwen took Feng Yunhe out of the carriage and interrupted their conversation.

I haven’t seen Yunhe for a long time, and he has actually grown a lot taller. Although he is still a child, his etiquette and general style are no longer what he used to be. After all, this is the First Academy of the Jin Dynasty. It is worth going there!

 “My nephew has met his aunt.”

 “Yin Canwen has met the third lady.”

They both joined hands in a salute, and Feng Jinyao also returned the gesture with a half-crouching salute.

“Mother knew that you were back and held a banquet in Jiuya Hall. Today the whole family is reunited. Even the eldest brother’s condition is much better and he can come out to have a meal together.”

Feng Er raised his eyebrows. Others didn't know it, but he knew it.

The eldest brother is not sick at all, but has gone to work elsewhere. However, Feng Yunhe and Yin Canwen, who were kept in the dark, were more worried.

Especially Feng Yunhe, who said, "I'm going to see my father."

The people ran away quickly, leaving Yin Canwen behind with a lot of emotions.

“After all, they are connected by blood. I have never seen Yunhe look so anxious.”

 His words also expressed Feng Er’s feelings.

 “Let’s go, we’ll go in too.”

After entering the gate, Feng Jinyao made an excuse and said that he had something to discuss with Feng Er. Yin Canwen wisely returned to Feng Er's yard first. Anyway, he had lived here for many days before, so he was familiar with the road and arrived at his house in a short time. The house I lived in before.

Feng Er, on the other hand, looked at Feng Jinyao curiously and asked, "What does Ayao want to say?" "Second brother, I caught the mole who harmed my mother at home two days ago."

"What! Didn't everyone send everyone to Zhuangzi? How is mother now? Is she in danger?"

Feng Er was worried. He was either poisoned or drugged. Now there is a mole. How much hatred does this have against their family? Do they have to kill their mother before they give up?

"My mother is fine. It was Chi Ling who caught the mole through the smell. Dingdong and her parents were waiting in the mother's courtyard. Now I gave her a beating and she still refused to do anything, so I Sent to Zhuangzi. Second brother, when you went to interrogate Amber and the gardener last time, did you find any clues?"

Feng Er shook his head. His method was considered ruthless. He didn't expect that their bones were so hard and they refused to recognize him.

Especially for Amber, if she was pushed too hard, she would still want to die without any evidence. Fortunately, she was rescued and had someone keeping an eye on her so that she could not succeed.

"In this case, I have to tell the matter to my elder brother. He may have a better way than us to pry out Amber's mouth."

“Well. That’s all we can do for now.”

The brother and sister both looked unhappy because of this incident, but they had to take care of the family dinner in the evening, so they had to put their thoughts away.

The Feng family was having a lively reunion here, and the Wen family on the other side also started planning.

After listening to Feng Jinyao's words, Wen Mengsheng felt more and more that he was going to be on the list now. Firstly, he wanted Feng Er, who didn't like him, to see who was more powerful. Secondly, it was also to win the attention of the Feng family. His marriage to Feng Jinyao was accomplished.

So as soon as I came back, I hurried to the study and met my father.

“Father, have you made arrangements for the examination papers?”

Although the father and son were talking in the study, their voices were kept low. This matter related to the future of many people and their own lives, so of course it was not a joke.

Wen Jingsong nodded, opened the box in front of him, pushed it in front of Wen Mengsheng, and said, "Look, these are sent by Lord Chao Zhong. If the matter is fulfilled, I will give you double. Such a way is quite good. Even though I can only earn this once a year, it’s still very rich.”

There were thousands of taels of silver notes inside, a thick pile, which made Wen Mengsheng's blood boil.

"My son really didn't expect that he could earn so much money from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It was because of his cleverness that he came up with this method of changing the examination papers. In this way, those powerful and unworthy young men with no foundation would be replaced by those with no foundation but A talented and learned scholar from a poor family not only connected with the feelings of his colleagues in the court, but also benefited the Wen family a lot. It's really a good strategy that kills two birds with one stone."

Hearing his son's praise, Wen Jingsong couldn't help but smile.

He stayed in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for more than ten years. At first, he served the country cautiously. Unexpectedly, he was favored one time and secretly helped Prince Yu and his nephew to change the examination papers. After that, he discovered this good way to make money. !

 The person being replaced does not need to be ranked high, he just needs to be on the list.

 As far as the family is concerned, it is enough to get the opportunity to become an official in the court. The subsequent promotion and fortune will be arranged by the family members.

 For those students from poor families, it is just a failure for one year and they will have to take the exam again next year.

For him, there is no risk. The decision-making is just a matter of hands. Anyway, the last check is done by the Minister of Civil Affairs.

Therefore, year after year, more and more powerful people came to him, but he made a lot of money from it.

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, and then Wen Jingsong said to Wen Mengsheng.

“Son, just take the exam with confidence. You will definitely be on the list today.”

It is of course best if you pass the exam yourself, but if you fail, there are ways to get a replacement.

He has little sympathy for those scholars who come from poor families. Whoever makes them look lower than others means that they are destined to have a harder time than others if they want to stand up in this life. That's right!
