Chapter 407: Concubine Lan also took a fancy to
Wen Yan sat in front of the window, looking around, looking for the carriage from the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion.
She made this trip today just to see with her own eyes Huo Yaoxing's wonderful reaction when he failed the exam.
soon.
A gorgeous carriage drove up with great fanfare.
Wen Yan smiled: "Here I come."
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the restaurant.
Wen Ruyue and Huo Yaoxing got off the carriage together.
Huo Yaoxing had a gloomy face.
Wen Ruyue was dressed up beautifully and looked very happy.
He held his chin high and looked down on everyone.
The two entered the restaurant.
After a while, there was a noise outside the door.
Wen Yan walked over and opened the door a crack.
I happened to see Wen Ruyue slapping someone.
With a snap.
Especially crisp and loud.
Just listening to it makes me feel extremely painful.
Her maid put her hands on her hips and said in a domineering tone, "Do you know who my wife is?
She is now the wife of the Crown Prince, and will soon be the wife of the top scholar. After a while, she will be the wife of the top scholar. Think carefully about the consequences of offending her!"
The person being beaten covered his face in disbelief: "Wen Ruyue, you dare to hit me!"
"What's wrong with hitting you? Do you dare to hit me back?"
"Do you think I don't dare..." She raised her hand to hit back.
Wen Ruyue screamed and hid behind Huo Yaoxing.
When she saw Huo Yaoxing, she didn't dare to slap him.
"I just asked you to vacate a private room, but you're making such a fuss, as if I was going to kill your entire family." Wen Ruyue snorted complacently, pushed her away arrogantly, and walked into the house.
The beaten woman and her companion had no choice but to leave in silence.
Wen Yan quietly closed the door, returned to the window, and continued to observe Ying Zhilin's situation.
He was caught as a son-in-law and was covered with a large net tied with red silk flowers.
Seeing that Ying Zhilin had no way to escape, Wen Yan became extremely anxious.
Without thinking, he raised his arm, aimed at someone and fired a hidden arrow.
The thin sleeve arrow pierced the man's arm, and the man screamed and let go of the net.
Ying Zhilin took the opportunity to escape from the trap and prepared to leave this place of trouble.
The people nearby were watching the fun and ran out to stop him.
"Those who can find a son-in-law here are not ordinary people. Master Jieyuan, just obey!"
Ying Zhilin was extremely annoyed. He took a deep breath, suddenly reached out, grabbed someone, and lifted him up.
The man was so frightened that he screamed, "What are you doing? Let me go! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you passed the imperial examination. If you dare to hit me, be careful that your place in the imperial examination will be revoked."
Ying Zhilin looked at him and sneered, "Who said I was going to hit you? I'm going to give you a chance to become rich and powerful."
As he said that, he turned around and threw the person in his hand towards the big net that was used to catch people.
The man cried out "ouch" and fell on his back.
Seeing that Ying Zhilin was a tough guy, those who were blocking him did not dare to make things difficult for him and took the initiative to make way for him.
Ying Zhilin strode away.
A gust of wind blew.
Her clothes fluttered, and her dark green hairband rose in the wind, making her gentle and elegant temperament even more extraordinary.
In a low-key yet spacious carriage nearby, Ji Xiangyun grabbed Concubine Lan's arm and said, "Mother, look, he is Ying Zhilin, isn't he very handsome?
My daughter has good taste, right?"
Lan Fei nodded: "That's all I have."
"Oh, mother, he ran away, please catch him back."
Lan Fei snorted and said, "Why are you so anxious?
He has passed the imperial examination now, so he may be able to pass the palace examination and become the top scorer.
Even if I don't become the top scorer, being in the top three would be more glorious than now, right?!"
Ji Xiangyun thought for a moment and held Concubine Lan's arm, "If that's the case, then he must pass the exam and become the top scholar.
Mother, you also want a son-in-law who is the top scholar, right?
You must help him."
"Don't you know our current situation? There are countless eyes staring at us in the front court and the harem, and it is not easy for me to do anything." Concubine Lan was very satisfied with Ying Zhilin's response just now.
Not cowardly but smart.
A real wild horse.
If he can be subdued, it will be of great help to my son in the future.
"Well...if I can't be the top scorer, I'll definitely be the second or third place winner."
"Don't worry, I will take care of these things myself, don't interfere. Go back to the palace first."
Concubine Lan ordered the palace maid to stop.
Ji Xianglan still wanted to stay outside the palace, look at Ying Zhilin a few more times, and finally create an opportunity to talk to him.
However, Concubine Lan was firm: "Don't create unnecessary trouble."
Ji Xianglan then reluctantly followed him back to the palace.
After Ying Zhilin escaped from the trap, he went upstairs and returned to the private room.
Wen Yan stepped forward and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Ying Zhilin hugged him tightly and said in a muffled voice, "Yan Yan, I was scared to death just now. I was so afraid of being captured by those people.
They will certainly force me to be their son-in-law.”
Wen Yan was stunned for a moment when he hugged her.
She hesitated, wanting to comfort the big guy.
The words of comfort rolled around on the tip of his tongue, but he finally swallowed them back into his stomach.
She patted his shoulder jokingly: "Why are you still feeling wronged?
Those who can find a son-in-law from the list at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall are not ordinary people.
If you are caught by them, you will be able to marry a daughter of a prominent family, and it will also help you in your future career. Isn't this a double blessing?
Why are you still feeling wronged?"
Ying Zhilin: “…”
He just felt like an arrow hit his chest.
Wen Yan pushed him away, patted his shoulder domineeringly, and said, "Don't be angry, haven't you escaped? Be careful next time, and you shouldn't be missed."
Ying Zhilin's shoulders slumped, and he bowed to Wen Yan: "I still ask Master Liu to protect me."
"Sure, sure." Wen Yan smiled, looking like a good brother.
Ying Zhilin: “…”
The depressed energy is stuck in the chest, unable to go up or down.
Wen Yan then got down to business: "What place did you get in the exam? Someone has already taken you back to be their son-in-law, so your ranking should be pretty good!"
Ying Zhilin Yingting raised his eyebrows and said, "Guess!"
"Brother Ying, congratulations, you got first place in the exam again this time."
"You've already won two first place prizes in a row. If you win the top prize in the palace examination, you'll be the first scholar to win three first place prizes or above since the founding of Dayong."
Ying Zhilin found that the door was not closed tightly after he came back.
Senior Brother Gu Dun brought some people and pushed the door open.
Wen Yan's eyes widened in shock, and she pointed at Ying Zhilin: "You...you...you got first place in the exam?"
Ying Zhilin glared at his senior brother.
She had wanted to tell Wen Yan the result in person, but now everything was ruined by them.
"Yeah, didn't I tell you before that I would give you the top scorer in the exam? Don't you believe in my ability at all?"
Wen Yan covered her head with one hand: "No... This news is a bit sudden, please let me take it slowly..."
"Sister-in-law, Zhilin did indeed pass the exam.
Moreover, when he was in the academy, he was the master's most outstanding disciple." Lu Tanzhang said with great pride.
Wen Yan: “…”
So, had she misunderstood him all along?
The students rushed forward and surrounded Ying Zhilin at the door, asking him all sorts of questions.
"Shut up! This is a restaurant, not your backyard."
Suddenly, a shout came from outside the crowd.
When Wen Yan heard the voice, he knew it was the furious Wen Ruyue.
