"Master Feng, Miss Wen is as beautiful as a fairy. She is a perfect match for you!" A man who looked like a skinny monkey said obscenely with his eyes blinking.
"Yes, compared to her, the top performer in Wanhua Tower is not even worthy of carrying her shoes." said another man with pockmarks on his face.
“Bang!”
Feng Zheng slapped her and said, "How can you compare Miss Wen with those bastards in the brothel?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Young Master Feng is right, I am too talkative!" The pockmarked man slapped his mouth and said with a gesture.
"Master Feng, we're going back to Xuanyang City in two days. Are we just going to let it go like this?"
Feng Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked in Wen Die's direction, only to see her looking at another man with a tender smile. He said, "Humph! No beauty I set my sights on can escape my grasp, even if she's the daughter of the Qingyun City prefect!"
"Young Master Feng is right! Our Xuanyang City is much bigger than his Qingyun City! It just so happens that Young Master Feng and Miss Wen are well matched. Isn't this a good marriage arranged by God?" The pockmarked face said flatteringly.
"Only a beautiful lady like this is suitable to be my wife, Feng Zheng. When I return, I will ask my father to send someone to the Wen Mansion to propose marriage. I believe that the prefect Wen will not refuse." Feng Zheng said confidently.
"Master Feng, look! Miss Wen looks at that boy as if he were her lover!" The skinny man said, pointing in the direction of the four people.
Feng Zheng's face looked a little unhappy. The woman he liked actually looked at other men with such eyes!
"Go! Get someone to check that kid's background!"
"Yes, Master Feng! So what should we do now?"
Feng Zheng said: "Don't worry, if this kid doesn't have any background, then..." After saying that, he showed a creepy smile.
"clear!"
The other people laughed and looked like they knew everything, as if they had done this more than once or twice.
The four people here were unaware of the discussion among them.
"Brother Xu, do you still remember the young man named Zheng Yaoyang who competed on stage with me?" Wen Yuan asked.
Xu Wenwu said: "Remember, this person has a calm mind and excellent literary talent."
Wen Yuan nodded and said, "Well, after the last competition, I chatted with him for a few minutes and learned that he has no parents and makes a living by selling calligraphy and paintings in his spare time. If the teacher at the academy hadn't seen that he was a promising student and waived his tuition, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to take part in this exam!"
Xu Wenwu said, "Since ancient times, noble sons have emerged from humble backgrounds. I believe that if he wasn't confident, he would never have taken part in this exam."
Wen Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Xu, aren't you afraid that your rank in the exam won't be as high as his?"
Xu Wenwu smiled faintly and said, "There are many people who are better than me. I just know that I have done my best."
Wen Yuan nodded and smiled, "I think he's a good friend, so I told him to come to the Wen Mansion to see me after the exam. I don't know why, but he hasn't come yet."
Xu Wenwu said, "Perhaps something happened. If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will definitely meet again."
The four of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery and chatted happily.
It was just that Feng Zheng and his gang would glance at them from time to time, with some malicious looks in their eyes.
Qibao also noticed it and frowned, "Sister Wen, you have to be careful. I think Feng Zheng has some plans for you."
A trace of disgust flashed in Wendie's eyes and she said, "Well, I'll be careful."
Wen Yuan was also a little worried and said, "You may not know that this Prefect Feng seems to have relatives serving as officials in the capital. Although he and I are both the prefect's sons, he has backers and is always arrogant in his actions."
Wen Die particularly hated the way Feng Zheng looked at her with a lecherous gaze, so she said, "Brother, let's go! It's getting dark, and Dad and Grandpa Xu are still waiting for us at Juxiang Pavilion!"
Wen Yuan had no objection and said, "Well, we've seen the most beautiful scenery on this island. It's time to go back."
The four of them stood up and left the pavilion.
"Master Feng, they're gone."
"Nonsense! I saw it. Now that the beauties have left, there's nothing left to see. Let's go." Feng Zheng said as he took the lead and walked down the stairs.
The four of them returned to shore by boat.
The shops on both sides of the street have hung up lighted lanterns, and there are many pedestrians coming and going. There are also small vendors on the roadside pushing carts, selling all kinds of delicious food.
The four of them returned to Juxiang Pavilion. The hall was already crowded, so they went up to the private room on the second floor.
Before I pushed the door open, I heard the old man and Magistrate Wen laughing from inside.
Seeing the four people coming back, Wen Zhifu said, "You are back. How was your fun?" Wen Zhifu asked with a smile.
"Dad, I took Brother Xu and Sister Xu to Jinhua Island to see the scenery. There were a lot more people there than usual." Wen Yuan said.
Prefect Wen said, "Jinhua Island is one of the most distinctive features of Qingyun City. The exams have just ended, so many people from other places must be going there to see it. It's normal for there to be so many people."
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "Sit down and rest for a while. We'll wait for you to eat."
Zhang waved her hand and said, "Qibao, this is your Aunt Wen."
Qibao nodded and said, "Hello, Aunt Wen."
Mrs. Wen smiled and said, "I heard Die'er mention you. Your name is Qibao, right?"
Qibao said, "Yes, that's my nickname. My real name is Xu Linyue."
Magistrate Wen laughed heartily and said, "This girl is amazing! Even if several officials from the yamen came together, they would still be no match for her."
Whenever the old man heard someone praise his granddaughter, he would be so proud that it was as if they were praising himself, and he said, "Master Wen, I only have this one granddaughter, and I usually look at her like an eyeball. I think girls should learn some kung fu, so that no one will dare to bully them in the future."
