"Have you heard? The ten exam questions set by the Confucian clan at the beginning of the Imperial College were solved yesterday! All ten questions were solved. I heard that the person who solved them was a young man. Even the Regent was alarmed and personally went to the scene to appoint him as an official."
"Who is it? So powerful?"
"I think there's someone called Wen Shijie. He didn't finish the Imperial Examination due to health reasons. This time, he cracked the Imperial College's ten major exam questions. He's definitely going to go down in history."
"Yes, according to the laws of our dynasty, anyone who can overcome the ten major exam questions can be directly admitted to the imperial court as an official, regardless of their background. This Wen Shijie has truly soared to fame. However, I heard that his father seems to be a great scholar..."
"I heard that the Yujiang King's family was massacred, and the culprit was Princess Yuchang. Wen Shijie's father was also implicated and died in the massacre. What a pity..."
A certain alley street.
Sixth Aunt had just opened the gate to go out to buy groceries when a neighbor came up to her with a gossipy and gloating look on his face and said, "Hey, Sixth Aunt, where are you going? Do you know that you are about to be in big trouble?"
Sixth Aunt's house is near the street corner.
The neighbor's shout immediately attracted a lot of people's attention. Other neighbors living in the alley also looked at Aunt Liu. Some of them showed sympathy, while others were gloating.
There are all kinds of emotions.
"Daughter-in-law of the Liu family, why are you cursing me like this? When did I offend you?" Sixth Aunt said with a gloomy face.
The Liu family's wife curled her lips, but her eyes gleamed with gloating. "I didn't curse you! I just came to tell you in advance that you're going to be in big trouble. You probably don't know that the Wen family's mother and son have turned things around, and Wen Shijie is an official, personally appointed by the Regent, a high-ranking official. You treated them like that before, and they will definitely hate you."
Afraid that Sixth Aunt had forgotten, Liu's daughter-in-law pointed in the direction of a small courtyard in the alley.
This was where Wen Shijie and his mother lived.
"It's the mother and son of the Wen family. Not only did you ask their old mother to wash your clothes, but you also extorted five taels of silver from them for a piece of tattered clothing. Now that they have finally turned their fortunes around, you can expect to be punished."
"Yes, I saw it at the time. The dress was just a very tattered one. They extorted five taels from me. They are really unscrupulous."
"How could you do such a wicked thing? Please don't let it implicate us."
"Back then, when I saw that the Wen family mother and son were suffering from the cold, I gave them a few sweet potatoes. I don't know if they still remember it now. If I had known that Wen Shijie was incompetent, I would have given him a few more eggs."
"Oh my, I almost forgot. I thought Wen Shijie had painted a very good pheasant picture, so I exchanged it for a bunch of vegetable leaves and hung it on the wall to amuse my little grandson. Now he has become a high-ranking official. Didn't you tell me whether the pheasant picture would be valuable anymore?" A woman thought of this and immediately slapped her thigh and ran home.
But soon, the woman wailed, "You damn boy, who told you to scribble on the pheasant picture? Oh, you painted the pheasant into a big cat. How can I sell it for money..."
The so-called "pheasant" is the soaring phoenix! !
In fact, if it is well preserved, it can be sold for a lot of money one day. After all, it is the calligraphy of the future University Scholar Wen when he was young and in trouble.
pity! !
Of course.
Just as these neighbors were mocking Aunt Six for watching the show, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the street, and then a neatly dressed figure got out of the carriage.
Afterwards, he was supported by a young man.
"That's... the Wen family mother and son?"
"Oh, it's true!"
"Aunt Wen... no, Madam Wen, Lord Wen, why are you back?" A group of fawning women and other common people came forward, unable to conceal the enthusiasm on their faces.
Those who used to look down on the mother and son for being shabby now completely changed their attitude.
I can't wait to kneel down and lick her feet.
Aunt Six was slightly stunned when she saw Wen's mother's completely changed spirit. She thought about how hard-working she looked when she washed clothes for her, and now she looked like a noble person from the bottom of her heart. They were really completely different.
However, they are different!
The fight she had with her back then was just an act...
She was not as overly flattering as others, but her expression was a little unnatural.
"Sixth Aunt!"
Wen Shijie bowed slightly to Sixth Aunt, as if he was treating an elder.
Sixth Aunt waved her hands helplessly.
"Sixth Aunt, we came here this time mainly to thank you for taking care of us before..." Mother Wen said with a smile
Everyone;…?
Take more care?
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Especially when they saw the kind attitude of the Wen mother and son towards Aunt Six, and the items they asked the maids to bring in after they entered the house, everyone was jealous and puzzled.
No one understands when this Sixth Aunt became so close to the Wen family mother and son.
Of course.
This is just an episode.
Wen's mother's original name was Wen Lian. She was the only legitimate daughter of the head of the Wen family, an old family in the capital.
With Wen Shijie's success, and the regent taking office, the case of Prince Yujiang was thoroughly investigated, and the name of Wen's father, the great scholar, naturally became famous throughout the country. Naturally, the head of the Wen family came up with the idea of recognizing his daughter and grandson.
As for the old Hades, he was also responsible for the extermination of Prince Yujiang's family and the murder of Wen's father. Therefore, after the case of Prince Yujiang was investigated, he was liquidated, stripped of his title, and exiled.
