Chapter 9(1/2)
In the next few days, Wen Ning didn't go out.
She made many ideas, including preventing Pei You from passing the palace examination and preventing him from recognizing his relatives.
If he hadn't been born as the number one scholar and had the blessing of being the heir apparent of the Duke's palace, how could he have risen to prominence and become a member of the cabinet in just a few years? So much so that later on, when he did such evil things as bullying men and women, no one would bother him.
.
But after all, she is just a girl from a fourth-rank minister's family who has not yet left the cabinet. She can only enter and exit the palace a handful of times a year, so she has no such great ability.
Therefore, Wen Lan came to Xiangti Garden with a face of surprise and said that Wang You, whom they had met at Ci'en Temple that day, was ranked first in high school. At the beginning of this year's session, she was still thinking hard about how to combine herself with the "little boy".
"Ya" take it off.
Seeing that Wen Ning was unmoved and unmoved, Wen Lan held up a paper fan and said, "Maybe you don't know Shu Zhi's previous results. He ranked first before taking the exam, and he ranked first in the exam this time."
Yuan, if he wins the first place again in the palace examination half a month later, he will be the number one scholar who has passed six yuan! That will be the first number one scholar who has passed six yuan since the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty!"
Wen Ning was holding a book on the low couch without blinking: "Isn't the eldest brother not interested in court affairs?"
Wen Lan coughed in embarrassment: "When did I stop being interested in the affairs of the imperial court? I'm just not interested in the trivial matters in the imperial court... If I can be forgiven this time and be a commoner, and get the sixth grade, that would be a shock."
Who wouldn’t care about the major issues between the government and the opposition?”
Wen Ning raised her eyebrows slightly and cupped her chin with her hands.
—
Just now she just picked up a book and opened it casually. She was thinking about Pei You and didn't really read it.
Wen Ning has always enjoyed her cooking skills, and today she can always have a good bowl of rice.
Wen Ning brought her thoughts back a little.
It's just that she didn't sleep, but lay quietly on the bed thinking about the thought that just passed by.
It was clear that after the New Year, I was still looking forward to Shen Jin's return home, so I timidly came over to inquire about the date of his return home, but suddenly he changed his temper and said that he only regarded Shen Jin as his brother.
Unexpectedly, when she came back with dinner, she saw Wen Ning lying on the bed, turning over and over like pancakes. The expression on her face was sometimes happy, sometimes light, sometimes solemn, and then she let out a long sigh.
Until one day she accidentally saw her own hands, which were young and delicate. No matter how much she kneaded and polished them, they still looked like they did when she was fourteen or fifteen.
Does she fall in love with Pei You?
"I……"
She did the opposite. Instead of hiding, she took the initiative to attack and said that she loved him. This might be a good way to deal with Pei You.
Why not?
But is just “expressing love” enough?
Wen Lan approached Wen Ning and wanted to tease her, but he glanced at the book in her hand: "A Ning..."
It's just that she was really upset and irritable these days because she met Pei You in advance.
In the previous life, Shen Jin also had this achievement, which gave him more confidence to fight against the Liang family and insisted on marrying her.
"What's more, I'm not..."
She just looks a bit similar to Xiaoya when she was young.
She walked over, smelled the aroma of the food, sighed, sat down with the bowl and started eating.
Didn’t I originally want to bring you together...
If... if we could "express love" and at the same time make him dislike her, hate her, and even make a detour when he sees her...
Wen Lan didn't say this out loud, but could not help but sigh.
Wen Ning has stopped screaming in her dreams these days, but she clenches her teeth and moans. It seems that she is still not worried in her dreams.
If this method is used, there is a problem to be solved - she needs to overcome her fear of facing Pei You.
In her previous life, she was forced to follow him for nearly ten years. She had seen all kinds of bees and butterflies that pounced on him. What kind of women did he still have the patience to deal with? What kind of women did he treat as nothing?
He couldn't avoid women, and she knew it all too well.
"You don't have to tell me anything about the Shen family in the future." Wen Ning said calmly.
Wen Ning put the food into her mouth one bite at a time, chewing hard as if to vent her anger.
Wen Ning then asked: "Brother, how did you get to know Wang You?"
She had never heard Wen Lan mention Wang You in her previous life, and she never thought they would know him so early.
Wen Ning was a little unsure.
Wen Lan was speechless, "You can read your book upside down for so long?"
At a glance, she saw the dinner brought over by Linglan, which was all her favorite food.
She didn't believe it.
"Linglan..."
Linglan saw that Wen Ning had been distracted these past few days, not sleeping well and not eating much. When Wen Lan came over in the afternoon, she hurriedly left and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner herself.
Wen Ning didn't have time to shout. Seeing that the figure had disappeared behind the screen, Wen Ning sighed and sat up from the bed.
The mark Pei You left on her heart in her previous life was too deep, but if every time she meets him in the future, it's like she did a few days ago, and she has to use all her strength to say one or two words to deal with it. No matter how wonderful this method is, it will be useless.
However, it made him suspicious in vain.
But a gust of wind blew and the candle flame swayed.
"..."
Wen Ning frowned and turned over again.
Pei You, who is thoughtful and thoughtful, could not have imagined why she didn't recognize him since she was in love with him and heard him claim that he was engaged to "Xiaoya" and had been looking for her.
Before Wen Ning could defend herself, Wen Lan said in disbelief, "Could it be that you are already in love with Wang You?!"
This is what he said himself.
Ling Lan put down her dinner, hurried over and put the back of her hand on Wen Ning's forehead: "Young lady, you really don't need to call the doctor to come and see?"
In Wen Lan's eyes, she was so shy that she left the scene in a hurry.
Wen Ning's eyes lit up, as if she saw a bright light on the long dark road, and the way forward had a direction.
Only by making him truly hate her can she be considered safe.
Wen Lan looked at his sister who had always been reserved in disbelief. Just because he mentioned a name and said a word, his eyes sparkled with excitement, his cheeks were red, and he held his forehead with a headache: "A Ning, you..."
The real Wen Tingchun passed away long ago in the prison.
Wen Ning turned over again: "No need."
Therefore, if she is in love with Pei You but has never revealed her identity to Pei You, then from Pei You's point of view, there is only one conclusion - she is not Xiaoya.
When she just woke up in this life, she refused to believe it. She thought it was either a dream, or Pei You used some means to send her and Linglan back to the old Wen Mansion, and also repaired the Wen Mansion to create the illusion before her.
.
When she was about to die in her previous life, Linglan also cooked for her one meal after another, and then kept saying in her ear: "Girl, my lord has agreed. As long as your health is better, you will let us go. Do you want to
Where to go? Jiangnan? Beyond the Great Wall? He will no longer hold us captive. Wherever you want to go, Alan will accompany you."
If she was Xiaoya when she was young, and she fell in love with him, and knew that he had been looking for her, she could directly admit her identity and everyone would be happy.
In this life...
Thinking of this, Wen Lan said again: "Ah Ning, Shen Jin actually got second place in the exam this time, did you know?"
Wen Ning opened her water-colored eyes and fanned her long eyelashes.
Poor Shen Jin, she took the exam just because she said she admired talented people.
Not only will he be ranked second in the examination, but he will also be ranked far ahead in the palace examination. He is the second second-class scholar in the Shen family after Shen Gaolan.
If Pei Youzhen treats her differently after expressing her feelings, wouldn't he be shooting himself in the foot?
It’s impossible.
Is she thinking about Pei You?
Pei You has good facial features, is a talented scholar, and is about to pass the sixth grade. In the previous life, many noble ladies from the capital flocked to him. How normal is it that she, a boudoir woman who has always admired talented people, would fall in love with him!
But what does this "normal" thing look like in Pei You's eyes?
Pei You has always been very scheming. He deliberately said "Xiaoya" that day and even said that Xiaoya was his fiancée. It was obviously a deliberate attempt to tempt him.
As a military general, he only spends more than a month in the Imperial College every year, and he can achieve such achievements, which is really astonishing.
Even when Wen Tingchun came to her bedside, she subconsciously concluded that Pei You had found a magician to disguise herself, just like she did when she escaped.
Others don't know that she has lived a lifetime, they don't know the grudges she has had with Pei You, they don't know the suffering she has suffered from Pei You, and even Pei You himself is impossible to know.
Wen Lan said "tsk", this sister made it increasingly difficult for him to understand.
Wen Ning glanced at the book in her hand.
Wen Ning turned over.
