The bet happened outside Chongwen Academy.
In less than an hour, the sound of wind had reached Qi Xiu's ears.
He chuckled and continued to play the chess pieces.
The rumors outside that he wanted to recruit "closed disciples" were misinformation.
He stopped accepting disciples a long time ago.
Not to mention the disciples who treat joining his disciple as a bet, which is simply... ridiculous!
She and Wen Shengjun each found ways to get to know Mr. Qi.
Wen Shengjun took the initiative to contact his former classmates and friends.
"If I hadn't been forced by this bet, I don't know that I would have risked my life!"
"This is really risking life! What kind of face, what do others think? Now I just want to achieve my goal and win the bet!"
Wen Shengjun had never known that his body had such great potential.
Sometimes people really have to push hard to break through the bottleneck!
Wen Jin is not like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere, she already has a preliminary blueprint.
She returned to Prince Huai's Mansion calmly and went straight to Xiao Yuchen's study.
Xiao Yuchen also just returned from Jinwu Guard.
"Wen Jin is here? Tell her to get in!"
"Kneel down! Who gave you the courage to make a bet on marriage?" When Xiao Yuchen saw Wen Jin, he wanted to strangle her to death.
What else did she say about asking herself to resign?
Thinking of the pride that appeared in Xiao Jinlou's eyes at that time, he got angry!
"You want to ask yourself to leave the court so that you can fall into the arms of Prince Hailing? Are you hooking up with Xiao Jinlou?"
"Tell me the truth, is Yu'er his child?!"
If Wen Yu is Xiao Jinlou's child, then it makes sense that he looks similar to him... After all, he and Xiao Jinlou are half-brothers!
"Your Majesty, you think I'm going to lose?" Wen Jin shook his head, "I don't want to lose, so I came to ask Your Majesty for help."
"Dream! Don't think about it! When you took the engagement as a bet, you already didn't take me seriously!" Xiao Yuchen's chest was about to burst with anger. "Ask me for help now? It's too late!"
"Maybe the prince wants me to lose. You have always hated me and were forced to marry me. You have been indifferent for six years. Now if you divorce your wife in the form of a bet and end this relationship - it seems that from beginning to end, It's all a joke. No wonder you're angry."
Xiao Yuchen was stunned...
is that so? The reason why he was angry... was that ending this relationship was like a joke?
But why, when he heard "end this relationship", his heart suddenly throbbed?
"If the prince wants to divorce his wife in other ways, please help me this time." Wen Jin remained calm.
"Are you confident of winning?" Xiao Yuchen was suspicious.
Wen Jin smiled, "Who bets just to lose? Forty thousand taels of silver, doesn't the prince know that I am short of money?"
Xiao Yuchen stared at her for a moment.
"I can't help you introduce Mr. Qi. Otherwise, how do you want me to help you?" Xiao Yuchen's mood was complicated, and his tone was less gunpowder.
Wen Jin was very happy, "The prince's study is so big, can it contain Mr. Qi's quotations, letters and other things?"
Wen Jin knew that there was no Internet Weibo in ancient times, but the thoughts and scholarship of sages could still be spread. A large part of it was due to his students collecting, organizing and compiling the words and letters of sages.
Just like the Confucian classic "The Analects of Confucius", it was compiled by Confucius's disciples who recorded Confucius' sayings and thoughts.
Xiao Yuchen sneered, "Do you think it's useful to just improvise?"
"You have to try it to know whether it works or not," Wen Jin said.
Xiao Yuchen was disheartened and said, "It's up to you."
He pointed to the bookshelf behind him and asked Wen Jin to browse through it at will.
Wen Jin stood still.
"What? Gave up?" Xiao Yuchen asked.
Wen Jin looked at him and said, "There are so many books, Prince, can you help me find them?"
Only he knows best where to put his books. Isn't it more efficient than her to find a needle in a haystack?
The study became quiet, and only the sound of two people flipping through books could be heard.
About half an hour later, Wen Jin left Xiao Yuchen's study with a thick stack of books.
Xiao Yuchen looked at her back with deep eyes...
He had a nameless fire, but in the quiet relationship just now, it gradually settled.
It turned into a feeling that he couldn't explain... She didn't seem to be that annoying.
On the contrary, there is still a faint fragrance of lotus left in the study. It is the fragrance of her body, which makes people calm and comfortable.
Wen Jin brought this thick book to his new house.
Wen Shengjun was a little anxious. He looked at Wen Jin and hesitated to speak.
"These books are Mr. Qi's quotations and letters that can be made public. I remember that my eldest brother can read ten lines at a time. Please read these books in the next few days." Wen Jin said.
Wen Shengjun was puzzled... After reading Mr. Qi's book, would it count as becoming a disciple?
"Of course not," Wen Jin said, "But from his words and words, we can understand this person more clearly."
"So that the next face-to-face communication will be smoother and easier."
Wen Shengjun was slightly surprised, "I asked many friends. Now the entire Chongwen Academy knows about our apprenticeship bet."
"Everyone is waiting to see our joke, but no one is willing to help... You and I don't know Mr. Qi, how can we meet him?"
Wen Jin raised his head and said, "I will take care of the meeting. Brother, concentrate on studying."
"When my eldest brother is studying, pay attention to the old friends he has made in Kyoto." Wen Jin said.
Wen Shengjun was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up, "That's right! You can't go to Mr. Qi directly, but you can start with his friends!"
"Brother, please get busy, I'm going to bed first." Wen Jin yawned, she was already very sleepy.
Wen Shengjun was so anxious that he didn't even think about food or tea. I thought that even if my younger sister was calmer than him, she wouldn't be much better.
Unexpectedly, Wen Jin fell asleep and the quality of his sleep was so high that it made people jealous.
She slept from the evening of the first day to the morning of the next day.
Wen Jin stretched and felt refreshed.
On the other hand, Wen Shengjun, after staying up all night, had an unkempt beard and his eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes.
But his whole person seemed a little excited.
"Brother, didn't you sleep all night?"
"If I can become a disciple of Mr. Qi, I will have no regrets in this life!" Wen Shengjun said excitedly.
"It turned out that I only heard that Mr. Qi was very famous, but his letters and quotations were hard to find. Now that I read it in person, I feel more intimate! He can explain the things that have troubled me for a long time in just a few sentences! Famous teacher! Really a famous teacher!"
Wen Jin couldn't help but smile when his eldest brother was so excited.
"By the way, the person you asked me to pay attention to."
Wen Shengjun opened the page and found the letters collected by Mr. Qi's disciples.
"Master Ji Huiji..." Wen Jin narrowed his eyes.
"Master Huiji is also very famous, and the current saint has a close relationship with him," Wen Shengjun explained, "He is now practicing at Fayuan Temple in Kyoto."
Wen Jin set off immediately, "Brother, study in peace while I go to Fayuan Temple to have a look."
"Then Master Huiji is no easier to meet than Mr. Qi..."
Before Wen Shengjun finished speaking, Wen Jin had already gone out, and she waved her hand without looking back.
Wen Jin walked around a few times outside Fayuan Temple.
Fayuan Temple is full of pilgrims, and the faithful men and women look pious.
She pretends to be a devout believer?
I'm afraid she's not a good actress and can't act well.
Even if she could act, wouldn't she be able to see through a character like Master Huiji at a glance?
When Wen Jin was thinking about how to approach Master Huiji, he suddenly saw an acquaintance!
