Adhering to the concept of "rescuing people to the end and sending Buddha to the west", after confirming that Wen Zimo was okay, Jin Yan asked Yun Jian to send Wen's father and Wen Zimo directly back to Wenjia Village.
When Wen Lan got the news, he was already gone.
"Did he say anything?" Wen Lan said.
Jin Yan: "No, Wen Zimo fainted and he came to ask for help. I didn't want them to appear in front of you and mother, so I sent him away."
After a pause, she said: "Wen Zimo just didn't have a good rest and was depressed. It's nothing serious. But the uncle still failed the exam. Yunzhu went to inquire about it, and someone saw him angrily beating Wen Zimo. He was obviously incompetent. Furious and blaming."
Wen Lan also showed a sarcastic look after hearing this.
Wen Tan used the guise of a so-called prime minister to deceive the whole family for so many years. He used all available people and things, even his own son and grandson, to plunder opportunities and resources that should belong to the younger generation.
As long as he can become a scholar, Wen Zimo will not be so desperate, and Dafang will not lose hope.
But he failed even once.
If you don't live up to your expectations, you will vent your anger on the juniors. No matter how gentle and obedient the juniors are, they will explode sometimes.
Let's see when Wen Zimo will resist.
When he returned home, he didn't see Wen Jinyang. Jinyang was still curious, "Isn't brother back yet?"
Mei Huiniang: "I came back once, changed my clothes and went to the banquet."
Jin Yan later asked Si Fengxuan, "Do you usually drink at a bar on such occasions? Will my brother get drunk?"
Si Fengxuan explained: "The people who went to the banquet were all the top students. No one knows how far these people can go in the future. Moreover, the provincial examination is about to take place. Unless there is a personal grudge, generally no one will attend such an opportunity." Putting others in danger makes you enemies.”
Jin Yan thought the same thing, it was because he was concerned about it that he became confused.
But at the same time, she had some other worries, "Speaking of personal grudges, my brother won the first prize in the first try, and Wen Tan took the exam for half his life and still couldn't even touch the side of a scholar. He was so angry that he lost his temper on the spot. You say Will he go crazy and report it, slandering his brother for cheating and plagiarism?"
Si Fengxuan: "..."
He didn't know whether Wen Tan would do such a despicable thing, but he had heard of more than a hundred related examples.
And he has done justice to several of them.
Thinking of this, Si Fengxuan said: "Yunzhu, go to the county government office and bring Jin Yang back. You can arrange other things."
After Yunzhu went down, Jin Yan asked him, "Are you going to vaccinate the county magistrate?"
Si Fengxuan thought about it for a while, nodded and said yes, "No matter whether he will make any moves or not, it is always right to prepare for a rainy day."
Jin Yan: "Well, once he really takes action, he will definitely not just slander his brother. In that case, the purpose will be too obvious, and it will be easy to expose himself. After taking the exam for so many years, he should be very clear that he will not have many opportunities anymore. It’s better to drag everyone into the water. If the blind cat encounters a dead rat, and the higher-ups really find out a few cheaters, then he will be hired without guarantee."
As he spoke, Jin Yan felt that Si Fengxuan's eyes became more and more intense as he looked at her.
She stepped back, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Si Fengxuan looked fondly, "I want to see how many surprises you have hidden in your little head."
Jin Yan: "You don't want to take a look at my head, do you?"
"..."
Si Fengxuan was silent for a moment. In such a beautiful atmosphere, why would Yan Yan think of opening the ladle?
He didn't have that intention at first, but now he was really moved.
After understanding Si Fengxuan's eyes, Jin Yan immediately stood up and ran away, almost bumping into Wen Lan.
Wen Lan told her to walk slowly so as not to fall, then turned around and went to settle the score with Si Fengxuan.
On the other side, Wen Jinyang finished the banquet and when he left, he saw Wen Tan hiding in the corner and acting sneaky.
Just one glance made Wen Tan break out in a cold sweat.
Just when he thought Wen Jinyang would take the opportunity to mock him, Wen Jinyang averted his eyes, then said something to the young man who looked like a guard, got into the carriage and left.
Looking at the carriage going away, Wen Tan's face was twisted.
What does Wen Jinyang mean?
Is it just that you looked down upon him after passing the exam and ignored him at all?
One thing he subconsciously forgot was that from beginning to end, Wen Jinyan never looked at him.
But Wen Tan, who was defeated again, only felt that Wen Jinyang had become a scholar and a villain because of himself, so he didn't take him seriously.
Wen Tan spat fiercely in the direction of the carriage. Just as he was about to curse, another voice came from the garden behind him.
"The young people nowadays are so crazy!"
"I think this young man is very thoughtful. If the water control strategy he proposed can be realized, it will be a great feat that can be recorded in the annals of history!"
"Let's not care about things that are too far away. Young people are concerned about the world and are enthusiastic. This is remarkable."
"He has just crossed the threshold of the imperial examination. It is still too early to say how powerful he is."
"I think this student's writing style is very much like that of a great scholar of the time. Could it be that..."
As soon as these words came out, the man with a very disdainful tone immediately shut up.
After a few people left, Wen Tan, who was hiding in the corner pretending to be a beggar, walked out again. He eavesdropped for a long time, but because he was too nervous, he only remembered the last two sentences.
A great scholar of the current dynasty?
He immediately thought of Si Fengxuan, whom he had met twice before.
When they first met, he suspected that Wen Jinyang's friend was a noble prince from the capital. Sure enough, Si Fengxuan knew no great scholar of the time, so that young prince must have helped him.
Then this exam, maybe...
Thinking of something, Wen Tan's expression gradually became excited.
On the other side, when Wen Jinyang returned home, he received congratulatory gifts from his whole family, especially Jinyan who sent him the most.
Wen Jinyang was already very moved, and he was even more moved after knowing that the celebration banquet was all planned by Jin Yan.
He rarely relieved the burden on his shoulders and indulged in the care and blessings of his family, completely unaware that a conspiracy against him had been launched.
The next day, while Jin Yan was still sleeping, Si Fengxuan got the news.
"Your Majesty, as Miss Wen guessed, Wen Tan secretly submitted a report letter to the county government." Yunzhu said.
Si Fengxuan: "Who is missing?"
Yunzhu: "Second place. This person's uncle is the Minister of Rites, and his goal is to get the first place. And he also revealed the news of someone cheating to another person. That person is a stubborn scholar who has failed in exams many times. Before the exam, He once made a bet with someone that he would pass the exam this time, but he still failed.”
After a pause, Yunzhu couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Wen is really amazing. All the things she said yesterday actually happened."
Si Fengxuan looked doting and proud, "That's natural, Yan Yan is the smartest."
