Chapter 493: Freeloading on Ji Shanzhang

Wen Yan touched her head and saw a pool of scarlet blood in her palm.

If it was a wooden hairpin, it would probably have made a hole in her head.

Wen Yan was so scared that a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"What happened?" Wen Yan pressed the bleeding area, opened the curtain and walked out of the car.

Then he saw Huo Yaoxing standing in front of the carriage, with his arms outstretched to stop the horse.

The driver was also hit on the head and was dizzy, so he didn't hear what Wen Yan said.

Wen Yan frowned and looked at Huo Yaoxing with disgust: "Master Huo, what are you doing!

Stopping a speeding carriage suddenly could cost lives!"

Huo Yaoxing smiled brightly at Wen Yan: "As long as I can see you, it's worth it even if it costs my life."

Wen Yan rolled her eyes in anger.

Who cares whether he lives or dies? Is she worried about herself and the driver?

Wen Yan looked at him coldly: "Master Huo, watch your words. If you can't speak, you can sew your mouth shut.

In terms of seniority, I should call you brother-in-law. Publicly, I'm already someone else's wife. If you say something ambiguous like that in public, it will make people think you have a problem with your character. You've wasted more than a decade of studying sage books."

Huo Yaoxing seemed not to understand what she said.

He walked around the horse and came to Wen Yan, handing her a wooden box. "Miss Wen, this is the hairpin I carefully selected for you. I'll put it on you now, okay?"

The wooden box was opened, and inside lay a hairpin with a chrysanthemum flower.

Four or five pink chrysanthemums are only the size of a fingernail, clustered together, looking delicate and playful. They are very suitable for an unmarried girl and are also the style that Wen Yan likes now.

It can be seen that he put some thought into it.

In her previous life, she and Huo Yaoxing had been married for more than ten years, and he had never given her a gift.

They were strangers in this life, and he became even more attentive.

Huo Yaoxing picked up the hairpin and wanted to put it on her head.

Wen Yan dodged by tilting his body, and shouted sternly: "Master Huo, please respect yourself."

Huo Yaoxing immediately revealed an aggrieved expression: "Why? You don't like it? But I've already chosen the gift according to your requirements!"

Wen Yan laughed and took out the broken jade hairpin: "This is a white jade hairpin given to me by my husband. It costs twenty taels of silver.

Although he came from a poor family, everything he gave me was the best he could give."

"And you, the son of the Huo family, who has a fortune of millions, actually gave me such a worthless thing just to coax me.

Am I something cheap?"

It really is Wen Yan from her previous life.

If he just took a newly bought silk flower from the maidservant, would she be happy for several days and ask for whatever she wanted from him?

Huo Yaoxing shook his head in disbelief: "That's not the case. Wen Yan, you weren't such a superficial person before.

In just over a year, have you become so profit-driven?"

Wen Yan sneered.

In this world, who is more profit-driven than him!

"Huo Yaoxing, tell me, what exactly do you want to do by blocking me here today?"

Huo Yaoxing also wanted to get close to her.

Wen Yan no longer has any patience.

She took the whip from the coachman and was about to drive away.

Huo Yaoxing became anxious when he saw that she was really going to leave.

After he failed the college entrance examination, he was already disliked by his father.

What's even more hateful is that he learned that the bastard born to Aunt Mei not only passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, but also recently invited several teachers to give lectures, hoping that he would be among the top three in the imperial examination in three years.

His half-brother has a talent for studying.

If my maternal grandparents had not suppressed me with all their might in the past, perhaps my half-brother would have shown his talent long ago.

This made him feel more threatened.

He started studying hard again.

But he felt that his mind was confused and not as flexible and useful as before.

I used to be able to memorize an article after reading it three or four times, but now I have to recite it more than ten times before I can remember it, and I will forget it after a day.

I can no longer remember articles that I used to be able to recite by heart.

What's more, the provincial and metropolitan examinations three years later may have changed topics like this metropolitan examination.

Relying on knowing the questions in advance and memorizing the answers of the top three, the chances of getting the first place or the top scorer are slim.

If he wanted to avoid being stepped on by his half-brother in three years, he had no choice but to study hard.

And ordinary teachers are not enough for him.

Only Ji Shanzhang of Wutong Academy, the greatest scholar of the time, is qualified to teach him.

In his previous life, Wen Yan made Principal Ji make an exception and accept him as a student.

In this life, she can do the same.

As long as Wen Yan is coaxed, she will be willing to do all this for him.

Think about the purpose of this trip.

Huo Yaoxing suppressed his temper and said to her, "Let's talk somewhere else."

Wen Yan felt that the blood on her head had already flowed down her neck into her clothes.

But now her mind was much clearer. She touched her head again and found no new blood flowing out, so the bleeding should have stopped.

She was unmoved: "Let's talk about it here. A man and a woman alone in the same room will harm our reputation."

Huo Yaoxing clenched his fists again and again, he sighed, and a disappointed expression appeared on his hurt face: "Miss Wen, you were not like this before. You used to be gentle, kind, and helpful."

I like you for who you were.”

Her former self?

Let him bully you at will?

"Stop talking about these nonsense and tell me your purpose. My patience is limited.

Huo Yaoxing gritted his teeth and said, "I want to become Master Ji's disciple. Please help me."

"Help you?" Wen Yan rolled her eyes and said, "Sure!"

Huo Yaoxing was delighted.

really.

Even if she married another man, Wen Yan still thought about herself in her heart.

"Then when will you take me to become your disciple? Will you prepare the six rituals, or should I?

How shameless.

He wanted Wen Yan to prepare a gift for his apprenticeship when he became his apprentice.

Wen Yan raised her hand to interrupt him: "There's no rush to become my disciple. Wutong Academy is still short of two library buildings. If you can donate two buildings, I believe Wutong Academy will give you admission."

Building two libraries on a secluded mountaintop is not only a huge expense, but it also only allows one to obtain admission qualifications, which is a world of difference from directly becoming a disciple of Master Ji.

Huo Yaoxing's face darkened: "Wen Yan, you are playing a trick on me!"

"What are you talking about! I'm helping you, not teasing you!" Wen Yan looked puzzled.

"You have to know that others who want admission to the hospital are willing to donate two buildings, or even two mountains.

If I let this news out, my door frame will be broken down."

Wen Yan was telling the truth.

Just ask the powerful people in Beijing and you will know how difficult it is to get into Wutong Academy.

Even the royal family members were kicked out.

Even Ying Zhilin's senior brother Yuan Xiaotouling, the emperor's own son, had his goods returned by Wutong Academy.

In the end, the emperor called Ji Shanchang into the palace, and the two of them talked in the imperial study all night before Wutong Academy agreed to accept him again.

After Principal Ji took him away, he immediately closed the mountain gate for a year, prohibiting the admission of new students and prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.

One year later.

Shanzhang Ji took the young leader Yuan out to study.

This departure lasted two years.

When they came back, Leader Yuan seemed to have been reborn, becoming much calmer and more reserved.

Leader Yuan may not be the most talented scholar among Chief Ji's subordinates.

However, he went out to study and gain the most experience.

Of course, this is all off topic.

The Marquis of Jinping was able to retain his title by relying on nepotism.

Huo Yaoxing was dishonest and even wanted to get something for free from Ji Shanzhang.
