In Liangjiang County, within the Confucian Academy.
A Grand Confucian looked at the many chaotic students, angrily shouting, "What is there to be proud of? Have you all understood the sag...
Chapter 205: Kiss first!
"Then... what exactly is the plan between Father and Master Xu..."
Zeng Anmin's eyes were extremely complicated.
"Besides, given Dad's personality, he would never let Dean Qin fake his death and let him hide in Ten Thousand Demons Mountain for the rest of his life."
"There must be a backup plan. Let Dean Qin come back."
Zeng Anmin felt his mind was a little confused.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Apart from anything else, considering how much Dean Qin cares about Wanyue, it's impossible for him to abandon his wife and children."
There was a gleam in Zeng Anmin's eyes.
"So, Dad's backup plan for letting Dean Qin come back..."
"It's highly likely that the problem lies with... the great scholar Qin Li!!"
"Next, I just need to figure out how the great scholar Qin Li passed away at the end of the Han Dynasty, but reappeared in the territory of Jiang State seventeen years later to preach."
"As long as I figure out this secret, I'll probably be able to guess why Dad asked Dean Qin to come back."
Think of this.
Zeng Anmin quickly went to bed.
"Then I'll just think of this for today."
He couldn't think too much.
If he continues to let his imagination run wild, the information he has obtained today will probably make him confused.
As for what secrets are contained in the white necklace.
And how did he make his eyes glow with gold and glimpse the handwriting of the Confucian sage...
Put it aside for now.
The next day.
Zeng Anmin spurred his horse and headed towards the Imperial College.
However, when he spent a day looking for books in the Imperial College.
No additional information was found about the great scholar "Qin Li".
really.
The Great Saint Dynasty and the Jiang Dynasty have coexisted for nearly a thousand years.
A thousand years is enough to wash away many traces of people living in this world.
Lying on the chair in his room.
Zeng Anmin sighed softly.
“It’s too difficult.”
"Without sufficient information, any speculation is just speculation."
Sunset is approaching.
Zeng Anmin decided not to go home for the next two days.
First immerse yourself in the books of the Imperial College, even if you can't find any information about the great scholar Qin Li.
Also try to infer based on other information.
After all, there must be other similar things happening in such a huge library as the Imperial College, such as the one that "passed away in meditation" and then came back to life.
By sorting these out bit by bit, you should be able to sort it out.
But the workload is really too heavy.
As he was thinking, Zeng Anmin felt his vision darken slightly.
He smelled a familiar scent at the tip of his nose.
"Wan'er?"
Zeng Anmin opened his eyes.
Sure enough, he saw Qin Wanyue standing in front of him.
After a period of flushing.
The pain of losing her father gradually faded in Qin Wanyue's heart.
Maybe she hasn't forgotten it yet, and he has buried it deep in his heart.
You can also get a glimpse of it from the hint of melancholy between her eyebrows.
"Zeng Lang."
Qin Wanyue looked at Zeng Anmin, her eyes like autumn water.
The moment I saw Zeng Anmin.
The corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.
"I haven't seen you for a few days."
Zeng Anmin stood up from the chair with a smile and reached out to take the food box handed to him by Qin Wanyue.
"Hurry and sit down."
As he spoke, Zeng Anmin pulled a chair for Qin Wanyue.
Qin Wanyue looked up at Zeng Anmin's handsome face, stretched out her white fingers, and opened the food box in an orderly manner.
"I have been dealing with my father's funeral these days."
"I finally have some free time today. Thinking of your busy schedule at the Imperial College, I specially made your favorite fish cake."
The way they get along is like an old couple who have been married for a long time.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zeng Anmin was not at all surprised.
Just accept this way of getting along calmly.
Perhaps at this moment, his tired heart could finally relax.
"Pah~"
Qin Wanyue placed the lid of the food box on the table.
She picked up the pastry inside and fed it into Zeng Anmin's mouth naturally.
Zeng Anmin just turned his face slightly and was able to easily catch the pastry.
Qin Wanyue looked at Zeng Anmin chewing carefully, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and patiently wiped the food stains from the corners of his mouth.
"tasty."
Zeng Anmin's eyes lit up slightly, he winked at Qin Wanyue and smiled:
"Wan'er's cooking skills are getting better and better!"
Qin Wanyue smiled shyly: "As long as you like it."
"Uh-huh."
Zeng Anmin smiled comfortably:
"By the way, Wan'er, will you come to study at the Imperial College again in the future? I'm the chief clerk here. Although I don't go to the academy as often, I can still study in this room."
"If you are interested, you can come to my room every day and study with me."
Hearing this.
Qin Wanyue's eyes dimmed slightly, she forced a smile and shook her head:
"I was here in the past because my father was here, but now that he's gone, if I continue to stay here under the name Zeng Lang, it will cause controversy."
Well.
"Look at my mouth."
Zeng Anmin stretched out his hand and slapped himself lightly in the face:
"I really said something I shouldn't have said."
"It's okay, I've already walked out."
When Qin Wanyue saw Zeng Anmin's mischief, her originally gloomy mood brightened up, and the smile on her face became more natural:
"The Autumn Examination is coming soon. How are your preparations for the exam going?"
"I'm still planning on participating in the Illusion Array Imperial Examination."
"So there's nothing to prepare."
Zeng Anmin waved his hand and looked off into the distance: "I've been studying here more these days."
Qin Wanyue's eyes turned into a half-smile:
"No wonder there are rumors that Zeng Xianzi has been going to the Xuanzhen Division frequently these past two days. I think he's trying to find a shortcut to the Xuanzhen Imperial Examination."
?
Zeng Anmin suddenly raised his head.
His face froze.
He met Qin Wanyue's gaze.
Qin Wanyue remained calm and composed, with a half-smile on her face.
But Zeng Anmin could clearly feel the sadness hidden beneath her smile.
“Ahem!”
Zeng Anmin coughed dryly.
How could he not know what Wanyue said?
I think my father told me this yesterday.
What happened between him and Sai Chuxue in her quiet room in Xuanzhensi was leaked.
Xu Mingxin!
Zeng Anmin has developed evil intentions towards his senior brother Xuan Zhensi, whose surname is Xu!
Don't let me catch you!
At this moment, in Zeng Anmin's heart, Zhu Wanjun, who punched him three times without knowing the truth, was more lovable than Xu Mingxin!
He looked directly at Qin Wanyue.
Without any hesitation, he looked straight at Qin Wanyue.
The next moment.
Qin Wanyue's slightly cold little hand was already held in his hand.
"Wan'er, I know that you came to deliver cakes to me today because you trust me completely."
"Otherwise, with your personality, I'm afraid you would never see me."
Zeng Anmin's tone was so gentle.
"So thank you for believing in me."
"As for the rumors out there, I imagine with your intelligence, how could you not see the trick behind them?"
"I have known Miss Sai Chuxue for a long time. If anything could happen, it would have happened long ago. Why wait until now?"
"She's just my friend."
"Others may not know what's in my heart, but how could you, Wan'er, not know it?"
As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Qin Wanyue's almond-shaped eyes.
"I just treat him as a friend."
Qin Wanyue pursed her lips.
She looked straight at Zeng Anmin.
After a long time.
Qin Wanyue did not shy away from it, with a flicker of evasion in her eyes:
"I just want to know, Zeng Lang, is our three-year agreement still valid?"
Zeng Anmin's eyes were extremely determined, and his voice was extremely firm:
"Three years later, if Wan'er's heart is still with me, I will not let her down!"
Qin Wanyue's eyes were full of tenderness.
She said nothing.
I looked at Zeng Anmin for a long time.
Then she gently broke free from Zeng Anmin's hand.
"I know that a genius like Zeng Lang cannot bear the burden of emotions."
"Now, during the Second Nanjiang Dynasty of the Great Sage, Zeng Lang's reputation of pacifying the world with three strategies has long been known to everyone."
"I don't know how many girls are eagerly waiting for Zeng Lang."
She looked at Zeng Anmin, the smile on her face unchanged, and said in a very soft voice:
"From the first moment I saw Zeng Lang, I knew it."
"A girl like me can never have a man all to myself."
"If you have another girl you like in the future, there is no need to hide it. Just say it directly."
"I just hope that Zeng Lang can still keep a place by my side for me to survive in the future."
…
As Qin Wanyue said these words.
Zeng Anmin was stunned.
His heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a heavy hammer.
He stared blankly at Qin Wanyue in the moonlight.
She still smiled like that.
She is always very quiet.
She never asked for anything.
She is easy to coax.
He believes whatever I say.
She is even so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
"Wan'er..."
Zeng Anmin felt as if his throat was blocked by something.
He was unconscious and even choked up a little.
"Zeng Lang, no need to say more."
Qin Wanyue just stretched out her finger and gently touched Zeng Anmin's lips.
The smile on his face was still so quiet:
"In fact, after hearing the rumors, I was extremely confused and even a little heartbroken."
"I feel like I've been let down by Zeng Lang."
"I also thought that from now on, I would never see Zeng Lang again."
"But after just one night, I couldn't help but miss Zeng Lang."
"It's also my own fault for not trying hard enough."
Having said that, the smile on Qin Wanyue's face was still quiet.
She looked at Zeng Anmin, her eyes seemed to be begging:
"I hope that when Zeng Lang reaches the highest position in the world, he will still have that feeling with me in his heart..."
“Hmm~”!
Qin Wanyue's eyes suddenly widened.
She was dazed.
Looking at the closed almond-shaped eyes that were so close to me.
…
After a long time.
Zeng Anmin sat on the chair.
He looked at Qin Wanyue in front of him, whose face was already red from the base of her neck to her ears.
The smile on his face was very serious:
"Wan'er, you have been stamped by me."
As he spoke, he took out a pen from somewhere.
Then he took out a piece of rice paper.
"Promise."
He wrote two large characters in cursive script on the paper.
"You can always come find me with this piece of paper from now on. This is my pass to stay by my side forever!"
After he finished writing, he slowly handed the rice paper to Qin Wanyue.
Qin Wanyue looked at the man holding the rice paper.
She stretched out her hand foolishly.
Hold the rice paper tightly in your hand.
She carefully folded the rice paper and placed it solemnly in her arms.
There was still a quiet smile on her clean face, and an incomparable shyness of happiness.
"Um."
…
It's still this yard.
Zeng Anmin had already eaten all the pastries that Qin Wanyue brought.
He burped with satisfaction.
Then he looked towards Qin Wanyue.
"By the way, Wan'er, I have a question for you."
Qin Wanyue blinked, she looked at Zeng Anmin with a smile and said:
"What's the problem?"
"Does your Qin family have a family tree?"
Zeng Anmin looked at Qin Wanyue leisurely.
"Yes, our Qin family is the descendant of the Confucian sage, so naturally every branch has a family tree."
Qin Wanyue blinked and then looked at Zeng Anmin curiously and said:
"Why are you asking that?"
"Um……"
Zeng Anmin pondered for a moment, then frowned and looked at Qin Wanyue and said:
"You know, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a great scholar named Qin Li."
"Does it have anything to do with your Qin family?"
Qin Wanyue heard this.
A thoughtful glimmer began to flicker in his eyes.
"Qin Li..."
Her lips moved slightly.
She thought about it for a long time.
Then he slowly raised his head and looked at Zeng Anmin:
"Master Qin Li, I seem to have an impression of him..."
When she said this, there was a thoughtful look between her brows.
Then suddenly he said:
"The last great scholar recorded in the Chronicle of Confucian Cultivation... seems to be named Qin Li!"
Zeng Anmin smiled and nodded, then reached out and gently scratched Qin Wanyue's nose:
"How clever."
"I just read the Chronicle of Confucianism yesterday. I might forget it in a few days."
"But I never thought Wan'er could still remember it."
Qin Wanyue's body was a little stiff.
She was caught off guard by Zeng Anmin's intimate gesture of scratching her nose.
But when I think about it carefully, a happy smile appears unconsciously on the corner of my mouth.
There was indeed regret on his face.
"The descendants of the Confucian Sage have many branches, and our lineage can be traced back to the branch of the Confucian Sage's seventh son."
"As for whether the great scholar Qin Li is from our Qin family, I cannot give you a definite answer."
Zeng Anmin nodded slowly.
I feel a little disappointed.
But it's okay.
He didn't expect to get any useful clues from Sister Qin.
And there are many things that Sister Qin cannot know.
Otherwise, with her intelligence, she might be able to guess something quickly.
"It's nothing. I was just curious after reading the 'Chronicle of Confucianism' recently."
Zeng Anmin smiled.
He waved his hand nonchalantly.
"OK."
Qin Wanyue's smile was as beautiful as a flower.
She looked at Zeng Anmin and said, "Although I don't know if Qin Li is a member of my Qin family."
"But my father also did some research on his life and wrote some of his thoughts."
"If you're interested, I'll send it to you tomorrow."
As soon as these words were spoken.
A sharp gleam instantly appeared in Zeng Anmin's eyes! !
Dean Qin also conducted special research on the great scholar Qin Li? ! !
Damn it!
This is extremely important information!!
Why is he doing research on Qin Li for no reason?!
Zeng Anmin took a deep breath, trying to appear calmer, and looked at Qin Wanyue with doubt:
"Did Dean Qin enjoy studying ancient people during his lifetime?"
Qin Wanyue shook her head:
"No, not really. You know my father entered Taoism through calligraphy among the Six Arts. So for a while, he was particularly fond of the calligraphy of the great scholar Qin Li, because the great scholar Qin Li also entered Taoism through calligraphy."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Zeng Anmin's heart was instantly shocked! !
He seems to know something!!
