Wen Lan was a little surprised when he was outside the door.

I heard early on that Wang You's family was poor. His mother had been in bed for many years, and his father traveled all over the country and resold rare foreign items. He was originally a rare commodity, but because of his upright personality and did not like to deal with the powerful, he could only make a living by doing small things.

But when he arrived at the door, the Wang family was better than he had imagined. At least there was a house that he could see through, and the word "Wang's House" was hung on the door with a wooden sign.

When the man who called himself Wang You Shutong led him in, he couldn't help but look around.

Although the house is small, it is well-equipped and the layout is simple but not crude. It can be seen that the owner is somewhat knowledgeable.

The first impression is quite similar to the Wen Mansion of my childhood.

Wang You stood at the door of the main hall waiting for him with his hands behind his hands.

After hearing what Wen Ning said last time, Wen Lan couldn't help but look at his face a few more times.

She has a fair complexion, black eyes like ink, a high bridge of nose, and an extremely inconspicuous small mole on the left side. The fair and solemn face has a unique charm. What is rare is that she is wearing a gray cloth, but she does not look downcast and dignified.

He is a Zhilan Yushu, a humble gentleman, and is indeed incomparable to many gentlemen.

So he came here this time, including saying these words, because he couldn't resist Wen Ning's tear attack, and he didn't expect Wang You to agree.

Although he has always been unconventional and does not like the rules of his parents and matchmakers, and it is even more ridiculous that he has never even seen the brides of many families, Wang You has read the four books and looks like a gentleman.

He is as gentle as jade, but if he speaks too absurdly, he might scare people.

Wen Lan hurriedly stopped him: "Sorry, I'm here to bother you."

When Wen Lan saw his serious look, the words he had been planning to say rolled in his stomach again.

Wen Lan was stunned, never expecting that Wang You didn't refuse, but agreed directly.

Wen Lan had dealt with Wang You several times and knew that he was very orderly and principled. He did not think that he would make nonsense about the marriage as Wen Ning said.

"Master Wen." Wang You bowed politely.

Wen Lan said this with a guilty conscience. Wen Ning did admire talented people, but that was due to the influence of her mentor. She was only nine years old when she was caught by Wen Tingchun at home to read and read. She could recite the female precepts by heart, but it was a bit exaggerated to say that she loved poetry.

Already.

Wang You's ink-colored eyes were as deep as a dark pool. He was looking at him very seriously, but he couldn't see the flickering light in them and couldn't read his thoughts.

"There are a lot of people coming and going at home recently, so it's inconvenient for your sister to come here." Before Wen Lan could finish his words, Wang You said, "Why don't we make an appointment in the wing of the restaurant?"

Wen Lan followed Wang You's guidance and took his seat. Wang Qinsheng immediately brought tea and poured a cup for each of them.

Wang You's eyebrows moved slightly, he looked at Wen Lan and said, "Master Wen, please speak."

Wen Lan continued: "She often paints and writes poems at home, and she has a lot of confusion in her heart. Unfortunately, Wen Qi and I are neither knowledgeable nor skilled, and my father is busy with official duties. It is a little inconvenient for her to have a wife when she is ready to leave the court... This is not

I happened to meet Shu Zhi in the temple a few days ago, and I was thinking... if it's convenient for Shu, can I find an opportunity to answer my sister's questions and give her some advice?"

"Actually, it's like this..." Wen Lan thought for a while and said, "My sister-in-law, Wen Ning, I saw her last time in Ci'en Temple."

Even if Wang You's engagement is fake, with his looks and demeanor, once he reaches the top position, how many ladies from the capital will extend an olive branch to him, and what advantage does the Wen family have? Unless... Wen Ning can compete with him in the palace examination.

The marriage was decided beforehand.

"Ahem..." Wen Lan was afraid of scaring Wang You, so he spoke so implicitly, but he didn't expect Wang You to point it out directly. He pretended to clear his throat and said, "I'm sorry, but this matter is indeed a bit disrespectful.

It’s inappropriate, it’s very inappropriate, you don’t want me to go home..."

Wen Lan could only continue: "Three of us brothers and sisters, one is obsessed with medicine, the other is obsessed with wine, and Ah Ning loves poetry like crazy."

After he finished speaking, Wang You's dark pool-like eyes were filled with confusion: "My sister, do you want to have a date with me?"

Wang You lowered his head and said, "Master Wen, please."

"It is indeed not peaceful in Beijing these days. In the spring, which happens once every three years, candidates from all over the country come to Beijing. Although the general examination has ended, there are still a large number of candidates who want to wait for the results of the palace examination to come out before leaving. There are also many people from out of town who come here specially to wait.

Seeing the number one scholar parading in the street, some gangsters fished in troubled waters, and there were several theft cases every day." Wen Lan sighed and said seriously, "But I am not here today for official business."

Wen Lan couldn't help but sigh.

This excuse was high-sounding and elegant, but Wang You was not stupid. If a man and a woman met in private, he would definitely understand the implication.

Even the location has been chosen...

He opened his mouth in silence for a moment, but Wang You continued: "Yunting Tower has many private seats. Jiangnan cuisine is exquisite in appearance and unique in taste. Many women from Beijing often visit it. If Miss Wen goes over to have a meal,

I guess it won’t attract anyone’s attention.”

But isn’t that just looking for an excuse…

"I heard that there have been a lot of cases in Jingzhao Mansion recently. Mr. Wen is here, but there are some things that can be forgiven and you can do your best?"

Whenever Wang You showed the slightest sign of hesitation or embarrassment, he immediately gave him a step back and said that this matter was very inappropriate. He would go home and discuss it with his roommate again, which would be regarded as a job for Wen Ning.

He covered his throbbing heart. He didn't know what kind of evil was possessed at Ci'en Temple that day, but he even thought of getting the two of them together, thus causing all these troubles for nothing.

Although Wang Fu had always refused, Wang You would write pleadings for others to support his family a few years ago, and Wen Lan had long heard of him. However, he only wrote pleadings and did not come forward to litigate for others. Wen Lan only

I only had the opportunity to meet him a few times this year.

No matter how slow his reaction was, Wen Lan finally came to his senses. He was immediately overjoyed. It seemed that my concubine was in love and Lang was interested. There was something going on!

"Of course." Wen Lan responded immediately, "I wonder if I'm free these days?"

"How about March 18th?"

"Sure!" Wen Lan didn't hide his pleasure. He patted the seat and stood up and said, "Then it will be March 18th in Yunting Tower. Then I will book a private room in my own name, and I will be able to give you lots of advice.

Sister."

"Mr. Wen, you're welcome." Wang You handed over his hand.
