Ye Chen hugged Chen Qiu and pointed outside, "That, that's the tallest student."
Chen Qiu took a look and saw that among the dozen or so students standing there, there was indeed one who looked like a horse standing among a flock of sheep. He should be a little taller than Chen Yue. "Is he that tall?"
Ye Chen smiled, "The brothers in his family are all tall. His elder brother is going to take the martial arts test this year. He is about the same height as him, but stronger than him."
Of course, at this time, Ye Chen and Wang Ziheng actually did not know each other. Wang Ziheng had taken the imperial examination in the same year as Ye Chen in the previous life. According to his level, he should have been the first in the Jinshi exam, but someone replaced his test paper and he only got thirteenth place in the end.
He helped Ye Chen a lot when Ye Chen later wiped out the Order of the Phoenix, and he was considered a confidant of Ye Chen.
In this life, with Ye Chen around, such a thing would never happen again. The person who ranked first in the imperial examination in the previous life actually won the top prize in the palace examination. Of course, this was all thanks to Yan Qinglian at the time. In the end, when Ye Chen and Yan Qinglian faced off, Yan Qinglian put a lot of obstacles in Ye Chen's way.
In this life, Yan Qinglian stepped down early, and that person's backing was gone, so naturally there would be no incident of changing the test paper.
"Just wait for me in the carriage, I'll go say hello to him." Ye Chen comforted Chen Qiu. Chen Qiu nodded, and Ye Chen jumped off the carriage and walked towards the group of students.
Lan Yu crawled over and looked at Ye Chen outside: "His friend?"
Chen Qiu nodded, and saw Ye Chen and the man clasped their fists and bowed, said a few words, and then walked towards the carriage.
Originally, he only saw a back figure, but now the man turned around and said goodbye to Ye Chen, "Well, you know what, he is quite handsome." Lan Yu didn't care whether Xiao Hang was there or not, and praised him directly.
"Have you said hello?" Ye Chen came up and Xiao Hang asked Ye Chen coldly.
Ye Chen was a little puzzled. Did he provoke him? Or did he provoke him without knowing it? He just replied coldly, "Hmm."
Lan Yu found it funny. It seemed that he could also make him angry. Right? This was only fair.
"I made an appointment with him to meet at Qingfeng Teahouse on the tenth day of the first lunar month in three days, and get to know some of his friends by the way." Ye Chen grabbed Chen Qiu's hand and habitually touched the calluses on Chen Qiu's hands. Because of pregnancy, Chen Qiu had not held a sword for a long time, and the calluses on her hands were no longer prickly and became a little smooth.
Shen Qiu nodded and watched Lan Yu glare at Xiao Hang.
"Brother, his brother will also be there in three days. Please accompany me. His brother is going to take part in the martial arts test this year, so he came with him in advance. You are both martial artists, so you should have something to talk about." Ye Chen wanted to protect the people that Shen Qiu cared about, so he couldn't leave Shen Yue behind. In the previous life, Shen Yue also died in battle a month after Shen Qiu's death. If he had some capable people around him, he should be able to overcome those difficulties, right?
Chen Yue nodded, "Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to this year's martial arts exam. It's good to have the opportunity to meet some people now."
"By the way, I will just say that I am from the capital and studying in my own school. Don't say anything bad when the time comes, big brother." Ye Chen instructed Shen Yue.
On the tenth day, Ye Chen and Shen Yue went out at 9:00 PM, leaving a message: "I won't be back for lunch, don't wait for me."
As soon as Ye Chen left, Lan Yu ran into Qiuchen Courtyard, "Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu, I'm getting married."
Chen Qiu came out of the house, holding his waist, and was almost bumped by Lan Yu. "Slow down, what's wrong? Did Xiao Hang agree to marry you?"
Lan Yu covered her mouth and nodded, "Just now he took me to kowtow to his parents, saying that he wanted to choose a date to marry me soon."
"Xiao Qiu, am I dreaming?"
Chen Qiu snorted and said, "No, then let him go to Rongwei Hall tonight to discuss what to do with you. Is there no problem with your family getting married outside?"
Lan Yu shook his head and said, "No problem, we can just hold another one when we get back."
Chen Qiu thought deeply, "I still have to talk to the emperor about whether to do it according to the state etiquette. After all, you are the princess of Ye Nan Kingdom."
Lan Yu waved her hand, "No need. It's just like a marriage alliance. Xiao Hang is marrying into the family. If it's a marriage alliance, your emperor will have to give him a status worthy of me. It's very troublesome."
When Ye Chen and Shen Yue arrived, Wang Ziheng was already waiting there.
"Let's find a quiet place to talk." Then Ye Chen led the way and entered a private room.
After everyone was seated, Ye Chen introduced Wang Ziheng, "This is my uncle, Chen Yue."
"I wonder who these people are?" Ye Chen asked Wang Ziheng again. This person was really tall, and his brother was as tall as her, and much stronger than him. Sitting there, he looked like a mountain.
Wang Ziheng pointed at the burly man and said, "My brother, Wang Ziniu."
He pointed to the two scholars next to him and said, "My good classmates, Cheng Ping'an and Cai Yanqing."
Ye Chen had seen all these people in his previous life, especially Cai Yanqing, who was the top scorer in the imperial examination in his previous life. He even plotted against his good friends.
It’s a pity that he can’t get what he wants in this life.
The few of them had a very pleasant chat, but because of the reasons in his previous life, Ye Chen had always disliked the guy named Cai Yanqing.
After they had finished their meal, Wang Ziheng and his companions returned to the inn, while Ye Chen and Shen Yue returned to the Ye Mansion.
On the way, Cai Yanqing asked Wang Ziheng, "Ziheng, that Mr. Ye doesn't seem to like me?"
Wang Ziheng has a strong character and is a little slow to react to these things, but he can also sense Ye Chen's attitude towards Cai Yanqing.
But everyone has their own standards and preferences for choosing friends, and I can't say anything about it.
In fact, Wang Ziheng and Cai Yanqing are not really good friends. They are just classmates. Cai Yanqing is a very versatile person and few people dislike him. He insisted on coming along today. Maybe he thought that he would steal the friendship of the Kyoto young man whom Wang Ziheng met yesterday.
But unexpectedly, the nobleman did not like him, which made him feel frustrated.
Shen Yue naturally felt it too, and asked Ye Chen on the way, "Did you know that Cai Yanqing before?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "I don't know"
"Then why do you dislike him so much?"
"The calculation and ambition in that person's eyes are too obvious. I don't like such people." Ye Chen said as he walked into the mansion, and his pace obviously quickened a lot.
"But, those who come to take part in the imperial examination should all be ambitious, right? Who doesn't want to pass the exam in one go?" Shen Yue asked Ye Chen, and seeing that Ye Chen's pace was getting faster and faster, she pulled Ye Chen.
"Why are you walking so fast?"
"I miss Qiu'er. I've been separated from her for three hours." Ye Chen said as a matter of course. Shen Yue was stunned.
"Then how could you stay in the examination hall for three days during the Autumn Examination last year?" Chen Yue still held on tightly.
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, "Write Qiu'er's name, draw Qiu'er's portrait, and wait."
Shen Yue let go of Ye Chen and continued the previous topic, "You haven't answered my question yet."
"It's okay to be ambitious, but his mistake is that he shouldn't be calculating against his own friends." Ye Chen pulled Shen Yue, signaling him to hurry up.
"You should have noticed that Wang Ziheng and Cheng Ping'an are not very close to him. He must have forced himself to come here." With that, Ye Chen ran away.
"I'm leaving first, take your time." He wanted to go back to see his Qiu'er.
