Chapter 46: We must let our fathers and brothers maintain the track of their previous lives
Wen Xingluo felt a cold gaze falling on his face.
She looked back at Xie Guanlan: "I believe the prince has already investigated everything about my mother. There should be no need to interrogate me again, right?"
Xie Guanlan put the family tree back to its original place.
He had already checked her out long before his father decided to marry Wei Si.
But this woman seemed to appear out of nowhere. She had no relatives or friends, and no one knew her background or where she came from.
He has connections all over the southwest, but he can't find out her background.
He concealed the darkness in his eyes and stared down at Wen Xingluo condescendingly: "You should call me elder brother."
Wen Xingluo knew that this person was starting to act pretentiously again.
She ignored Xie Guanlan and pulled Xie Shian out of the ancestral hall: "Fourth brother, you still have to meet General Li tomorrow. I will accompany you to pick out some gifts."
Xie Guanlan leaned lazily against the altar, saying jokingly, "Ningning is really naughty."
His gaze was like a thorn in her back, like a noose that was chasing her soul and taking her life, making Wen Xingluo's hair stand on end, as if she was being stared at by a spring night ghost, who was going to drag her down to hell with her.
She couldn't help but walk faster.
…
The other side.
Wen family.
Wen Yueyin woke up early in the morning and found that half of his hair had been shaved off.
She cried until she was hoarse and wanted to seek comfort from her three brothers, but she found out that their hair had also been shaved.
Wen Rulei was furious: "Who is so bored as to do something like this?! Once I find him, I will not let him off!"
"I've already asked someone to buy a wig." Wen Rufeng couldn't concentrate on reading. He closed the book and threw it aside in frustration. "No matter who did it, we have to go out anyway, so we should wear a wig to cover it up first."
A name suddenly popped up in Wen Yueyin's mind——
Thank you, Yanchen.
Who else in the world could be such a perverted and boring person except him?
But why did he attack them?
They didn't provoke him.
Is it to help Wen Xingluo vent his anger?
Wen Yueyin shook her head.
Xie Yanchen has a perverse personality and he would never accept Wen Xingluo as his sister.
Everything was going wrong, causing Wen Yue to feel troubled.
She took a deep breath, determined to put her fate back on track.
Only if her father and brothers maintain the trajectory of their previous lives can she go to the capital to become the Crown Princess.
The first one is the third brother.
The third brother must worship General Li as his teacher, join the army and make achievements.
Thinking of this, she said softly, "Let's put the hair issue aside for now. I heard that General Li wants to take in a disciple to inherit his Li family spearmanship. Third brother is extremely talented in martial arts. Why don't you go and become General Li's disciple?"
Wen Yue thought Wen Rulei would agree without hesitation.
After all, this was the path he took in his previous life.
But Wen Rulei rubbed his bald head and said irritably, "Since ancient times, military commanders have held lower status than civil officials. Why would I choose to be a soldier in the army instead of studying for a high position and passing the imperial examination? Does Yue Yin think I'll never have a chance of passing the imperial examination in my lifetime?!"
Wen Yueyin was silent.
Wen Rulei always ranked last in academic performance in the academy, so it would be a wonder if he could pass the imperial examination.
But she couldn't say it directly.
She said: "Third brother, that's not what I meant, I just -"
Wen Rulei interrupted her, "Besides, joining the army is extremely arduous. You might not get the chance to go home until ten days or half a month. Yue Yin, can you bear to see me suffer alone in the barracks?"
Wen Yueyin looked at him in confusion.
He sat slouched, looking completely devoid of energy.
How could this happen?
In his previous life, he was clearly General Li's personal disciple...
Wen Yueyin wasn't sure what had gone wrong, but she was anxious to get her life back on track, so she said with red eyes, "Is Third Brother mad at me? But I'm doing this for his own good. This opportunity doesn't come often. If Third Brother is chosen by General Li, maybe he'll have the chance to be promoted to a general and become as famous as Commander Xie."
Xie Guanlan also gave up literature and took up martial arts, becoming famous at a young age.
However, within just three years, the border states were forced to submit to him, pay tribute every year, and no longer dared to invade at will.
But in all these years, Shu County has only produced one person, Xie Guanlan.
Wen Rulei sighed, "It's not that I don't want to be famous, it's just that this matter is not that simple. Xie Guanlan is the prince of the Zhenbei Palace. Many of his military achievements may have been taken by others by relying on his power. For people like us with no background, it is actually very difficult to achieve great things. Alas, Yue Yin, you are a girl from a distant place, you don't know anything, even if I tell you, you won't understand!"
After he finished speaking, he leisurely enjoyed the new tea brewed by the maid.
Wen Yueyin looked at him with a complicated expression.
He is only sixteen years old this year.
He should be at an age full of passion, but he seems to be living a mediocre life.
He was completely different from the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard in his previous life, who was dressed in fine clothes and rode a horse full of vigor and ambition.
She didn't understand what was wrong with Wen Rulei. Even if there was a conspiracy, so what? Did all the young people who succeeded in the world rely on shady dealings?
There are always a few gifted people who have made their way to success through their own abilities.
Why can’t the third brother be one of them?
But before she could persuade him again, Wen Rulei got up and left, saying that he had made an appointment with his friends to go out for a drink.
Wen Yueyin thought about it and decided to prepare a generous gift and go to meet General Li in person tomorrow.
She wanted to persuade him to accept his third brother as his apprentice.
The next day.
When Wen Yueyin stepped into the hanging flower hall of the Li Mansion, she was surprised to find that Wen Xingluo and Xie Shian were already sitting there, having a pleasant conversation with General Li.
A strong sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart: "What a coincidence, my little sister is here too?"
Wen Xingluo said softly, "Sister, I am accompanying Fourth Brother to see General Li."
Wen Yueyin probed, "Master Xie's leg injury hasn't healed yet, has it? I wonder why you came to see General Li?"
Xie Shian ignored her and rolled his eyes angrily.
Wen Xingluo explained, "The general intends to take Fourth Brother as his apprentice and teach him the Li family spearmanship. Fourth Brother came here today specifically to become his disciple. Here, these are the gifts Fourth Brother brought."
She pointed to the brocade box held by the maids.
The brocade box contained ginseng, deer antlers, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, stone and jade artifacts, all of which were precious treasures.
This gift of apprenticeship is indeed very generous.
Wen Yueyin's expression became even uglier.
Wen Xingluo's gaze fell on the food box in her arms, a deep meaning flashed across his eyes, and he asked, "Could it be that Sister is also here to become my disciple?"
General Li stroked his beard and looked at Wen Yueyin curiously.
Wen Yueyin had no choice but to bite the bullet and present the food box: "My family is not well-off, so the gift is a little light. I'm sorry to have laughed at you, Master Situ."
She gave a box of cakes.
"Although it's not as valuable as Fourth Young Master Xie's gift," Wen Yueyin mustered up the courage, "my third brother's admiration for you and his determination to become your disciple are the same as Fourth Young Master Xie's. I hope you will consider that my third brother was so close to winning the martial arts competition and accept him as your disciple."
