Chapter 213 Dong Jingwen

Qin Sheng came back soon.

When he came back, he saw Chu Yian standing there in a daze. Looking towards the alley, Zheng Xiu had already disappeared.

He was stunned for a moment, poked Chu Yian, and waited for Chu Yian to come back to his senses before asking in confusion: "What are you thinking about? She's gone."

Chu Yian smiled, turned his head and said to the air: "Qin Er, help me keep an eye on her whereabouts."

Qin Sheng looked up and saw a black shadow chasing quickly towards the southwest. Knowing that Chu Yian had a plan in mind, he didn't care anymore.

Chu Yian urged him again: "Let's go, we've been delayed here for a long time."

Qin Sheng nodded, and the two walked out of the alley together.

There seemed to be a lot more pedestrians on the street today than usual, and it seemed that many students from the four major academies had run out.

They did not stroll around the downtown area, nor did they go to taverns or teahouses to listen to books and drink, nor did they go to Zhuangyuan Building to talk and discuss.

Instead, they all seemed to be moving towards the city gate.

Chu Yian was stunned, looking at this group of students who were obviously more excited than usual, and didn't understand what was going on.

Pulling Qin Sheng's sleeve, he asked, "Where are they going?"

Qin Sheng pursed his lips, frowned, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Today is the day Dong Jingwen enters the capital, and they are all going to welcome Dong Jingwen."

Chu Yian thought about it, but really couldn't remember who this person was.

Just as she was about to ask, Qin Sheng looked at her and said, "Xiao Anzi, I'll go back early today and talk to you when I get back."

Chu Yian nodded blankly, and Qin Sheng left after saying this.

Watching him walk away, Chu Yian's brows furrowed more and more.

Why does Qin Sheng look like things are not going well?

If it could be explained in a few words, Qin Sheng wouldn't be willing to waste so much time. It was obvious that the matter was a bit complicated.

Either it is inconvenient to say it on the street, or it is difficult to make it clear in a few words.

It was just that so many students from the four major academies were able to go to the city gate to welcome him in person, and there were even many teachers among them.

Maybe even the headmaster went there, but just didn’t see it.

With such a large scale and such a large number of troops mobilized, Dong Jingwen must not be an ordinary person.

He is most likely a great scholar from some other side, otherwise he would not be treated like this.

It was actually common for great scholars to come to Shengjing, and great scholars often came here.

Zhuangyuan Building even has a special arrangement for great scholars to give lectures, and every year they try their best to invite influential great scholars to give lectures.

Firstly, it can enhance the fame and status of Zhuangyuan Building, and secondly, it can attract more people.

Therefore, students in Shengjing could often see those great scholars. Although they respected them, it was extremely rare for them to go out to greet them with such a large force.

This Dong Jingwen is probably no longer just an ordinary Confucian scholar, but is extremely prestigious among Confucian scholars.

For some reason, Chu Yian's heart began to hang in the air a little bit.

I always feel like something bad is going to happen.

She thought of "The Great Qin Empire"...

Chu Yian frowned more and more, and after thinking for a while, she did not go to the cloth shop, but changed her route temporarily and went to the city gate with the excited students.

When we arrived at the city gate, many people were already waiting there, and some had even left the city and were far away to greet us.

Chu Yian did not go out, but squeezed in the crowd and looked around. As he looked, he saw Qi Ze walking back and forth on the city wall.

He looked outside the city from time to time, obviously waiting for this great scholar.

Chu Yian: ...

So Qi Ze left the palace today to welcome this person?

Instead of doing his job properly, he had the time to make trouble for her.

The more Chu Yian looked at Qi Ze, the more uncomfortable he felt.

But maybe this is what it means to love someone. Whenever you see someone who is a little closer to that person, you can't help but feel jealous.

But Qi Ze knew that Qin Sheng didn't like him, but he still did that to him. How true and false his love was, I'm afraid only he himself knew.

And to be honest, she is not the one who is closer to Qin Sheng.

If you want to be jealous, you should be jealous of other people.

Chu Yian withdrew his gaze and waited for a few minutes, but there was still no movement outside the city.

I don’t know when this person will come.

I want to find a restaurant to sit for a while.

Just by looking up, I knew Dong Jingwen was coming, and the restaurants on both sides of the street were packed.

Chu Yian gave up and waited patiently downstairs to listen to what the students had to say.

She had only listened for a while, and apart from how powerful Dong Jingwen was, she didn't hear any useful information.

Suddenly, someone squeezed next to her, bowed to her, and said, "Miss Chu, our lady wants to see you."

Chu Yian was stunned for a moment, looked at the man a few times, and was a little surprised.

She nodded slightly, followed the man to the teahouse nearby, and then went up to the second floor.

When I opened the door, a young girl was standing in the room. Who else could it be but Zhuang Younan?

Zhuang Younan hurried over and bowed to her: "I didn't know you were coming too. If I had known, I would have gone with you just now."

Chu Yian gave her a hand and scratched his head: "Don't call me benefactor all the time, just call me by my name."

Zhuang Younan hesitated for a moment, tightened the handkerchief in her sleeve a little, and called out softly, "Yi, Yi An...sister."

Chu Yian's eyes curved, and her heart was sweetened by her calling her sister: "You call me sister, then I will call you sister Younan."

Zhuang Younan's ears turned red and he nodded softly.

Chu Yian walked to the window, stretched his neck to look down, and asked curiously: "Sister Younan, did you come here specially to pick this person up today..."

She paused, unsure how to describe it better.

Zhuang Younan knew what she wanted to say, so he walked to the window and said, "Well, come and take a look."

"It's rare to meet Mr. Dong."

After hesitating for a moment, she continued, "It's not that Younan is ignorant today. He left Sister Yi'an behind to meet Master Dong..."

Knowing what Zhuang Younan was worried about, Chu Yian interrupted her: "It's okay, it's okay, I know, you don't have to take it to heart."

After all, Chu Yian is Zhuang Younan's savior. It is really not good to abandon his savior in the street just to meet Dong Jingwen.

But when Zhuang Younan turned and left at that time, it was obvious that he was too confused and didn't know how to face her. He wanted to calm himself down a little.

Wait until you calm down and then go to the Duke's Mansion to apologize to her.

I just didn't expect to meet him here.

Zhuang Younan felt a little relieved when he heard this and hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Chu Yian.

Chu Yian rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Sister Younan, do you know why this Mr. Dong suddenly came to Beijing?"

Zhuang Younan raised his head and shook his head gently: "I don't know, I just know he is coming."

"Besides, he came very hastily. I hadn't heard that he was coming to Shengjing before."

Chu Yian frowned even tighter. Suddenly...

Zhuang Younan added, "Before coming to Shengjing, Master Dong spent a long time in Wangjiang Prefecture, Ningguo, teaching students there."

"It is said that this trip even alarmed the Emperor of Ningguo, who specially sent someone to secretly escort him."

"This Mr. Dong hasn't left Wangjiang Prefecture in many years. When the news broke, many people were shocked."
