Wen Wan went out to do errands that day. Thinking of Ming Jin, who was a glutton, she asked someone to go around the corner to buy pastries. Opening the curtains and looking at the bustling stage outside: "Xia Ying, do you feel that the market now is much more prosperous than when I came here."
??
Wen Wan¡¯s face is very happy, and she has a share of credit for this! Wen Wan looked at the lively scene outside with interest, and then talked with Xia Ying on the side with interest. I remember when he was the son of Fuxi, he liked to sneak out every day and feel the folk customs here in the streets and alleys. Then eat snacks and stroll slowly, that is the most enjoyable life.
Wen Wan said and laughed: "Mingjin told me in the past two days that I would take him out for a walk someday. The child has never been to the market at this age. It is indeed my negligence. Wait a minute This time, on the day they were resting, I took them out. "Girls need to be pampered and stay in the house without leaving the door." But the boy can't do it. Wen Wan was thinking whether she should also dress up in men's clothes and take her two sons out for a walk! Yeah, good idea.
Wen Wan felt that the air around her was getting cold, and turned to look at Xia Ying, whose eyes were filled with coldness. Wen Wan asked Xia Ying, who had murderous eyes, "What's wrong? Is there anything inappropriate?"
Xia Ying looked a little ugly: "I just saw two people with murderous intent in their eyes. These people are probably running towards us."
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then started laughing: "Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate me in a busy city? There were only two people assassinated, what kind of masters must they be? They shouldn't be running towards us." Thinking back to Zhao Zhao back then. If Wang wanted to assassinate her, he would also find an opportunity to go out. Because in the capital, officers and soldiers will arrive in less than a quarter of an hour. And there are so many experts around her, they can withstand it for an hour, not to mention a quarter of an hour. And with her current status, as long as she wasn't suffering from a brain twitch, the most she could do was to hate her so much that she would itch her to death. But he didn't have the guts to assassinate her. Because once exposed. The consequences are not something they can afford. Now for these two people, Wen Wan is definitely not here for her.
Xia Ying nodded and looked at the crowd again. The two people had already walked away. It seemed that she was out of control: "The princess is right, they have gone far away. But these two people should be the killers. Princess, it is better to send someone to follow them to take a look."
Wen Wan thought for a moment and then said, "It might as well come over and have a look." Just as she was saying that, Wu Xing, who went to buy pastries, came back. Xia Yao was teaching Mingrui martial arts in the mansion, but she didn't follow him out this time.
After hearing this, Wu Xing said to a guard outside. Let him go and see. And don't ask him to take action.
Mingjin was the happiest when Wenwan bought back the cakes. Wen Wan can now conclude that Mingjin will definitely be a foodie when she grows up.
After the child finished eating, Wen Wan said to the child, "Mr. will come over tomorrow. Have a good attitude then and don't let him say that all those taught by mother are monkeys."
Mingjin snorted: "Mom, he still dares to pick on us. We also have to see if he has real talent and learning. If not, I will ask the emperor's uncle to replace him with a gentleman."
Before Wen Wan could speak, Mingrui said contemptuously: "Do you think my mother will let a coward teach us?" With the importance his mother paid to them, she must have figured out the other party's details long ago. Eighteen generations of ancestors had to check it out, and only if all conditions were passed would they be allowed to teach them.
The facts are indeed what Mingrui thought. Wen Wan's requirement for her husband is that he must have served as an official in the court, have real talents and practical knowledge, have a good character and not be rigid. Because the conditions were too harsh, Wen Wan couldn't find it on her own, so she had no choice but to ask the emperor for help. The emperor also searched for a long time. Four candidates were recommended, two of whom were officials in the court, the other two, one who contradicted the former emperor and then resigned from office, and the last one because he offended the emperor before he gained power. Later, when the emperor came to Beijing to have a showdown with King Zhao, this person expected that the emperor would have a greater chance of winning than King Zhao. Thinking of the emperor's unyielding temper, the whole family would have to suffer the consequences if he succeeded. Not long after, he fell seriously ill and died. The official returned to his hometown. I have been traveling around the world over the past few years and have gained a lot of experience. There are many friends too. He is also very famous among scholars.
After the emperor gave the list of candidates. Wen Wan checked all four people in private. Then I also met two great scholars who are still officials in the court.
Wen Wan felt uncomfortable meeting the two adults, one of whom was too mellow. But according to the information we found, Wen Wan believed that this person was kind-hearted and cruel, while the other one was too old-fashioned. Wen Wan had no choice but to focus on the other two. Wen Wan wrote several letters to them and found that both of them had their own advantages and basically met Wen Wan's requirements. Wen Wan thought about it for a long time, and finally chose the man who had offended the emperor.
There is no need to worry about the fact that he has offended the emperor. The emperor included him as a candidate, so he naturally has no grudges about what happened in the first place. Wen Wan chose this person for this reason.??Younger than the other one, and secondly, being able to see the dangers of the future when you are on the rise, and make a decisive decision to let go of everything for the future, is not something ordinary people can do. Not to mention anything else, as far as the emperor Wen Wan knew, he would never let him go unless he left. The emperor's temperament at that time would never let him go. Not only does this person know how to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, he is also very courageous.
With these external conditions met, Wen Wan also took the opportunity to ask him many questions. Of course, the question was definitely not asked in Wen Wan's own name. Most of this person's answers satisfy Wen Wan.
The emperor smiled at the fact that Wen Wan had chosen Mr. Fang after half a year. I sighed in my heart that Wen Wan is very far-sighted. This Mr. Fang is indeed a talent. He was a courtier during the reign of the late emperor. After the emperor put aside his prejudices, he wanted to recruit him, but he refused because of his old age. He was only forty-eight at that time, only three years older than the emperor. Here, it was that time. But he said that he was old and sick.
Wen Wan wants the two children to worship him as their teacher. Mr. Fang declined the gentle invitation. But since Wen Wan has taken a fancy to him, and this person is not really sick but just pretending to be sick. Wen Wan naturally has many ways to make him agree. It is also because of such entanglements that it has been delayed until now.
Wu Xing came over to reply and said that the person sent had returned. Wen Wan knew at a glance that it was just as she had guessed. These killers were definitely not targeting her. Otherwise, Wuxing wouldn't have behaved so calmly. "Who are you aiming at?"
Wu Xing looked a little strange: "They charged at an unarmed mother and son. The people who came back said that the accent sounded like they were not locals. Now both of them fainted from fright and haven't woken up yet. The two killers were arrested. Under interrogation."
Wen Wan nodded: "It's time to ask, this is too courageous. The emperor dares to kill innocent people at his feet." If there is a fight between two teams, Wen Wan is not interested in taking care of it. Various forces are entrenched in the capital, and fights or revenge often occur. Wen Wan prides herself on being a mere mortal, and has neither the time nor the energy to take care of such nonsense. But attacking two defenseless mother and son from out of town was going too far.
The next day, Mr. Fang arrived at the Princess¡¯s Mansion.
Wenwan heard the news that it was coming soon. He took Mingrui and Mingjin to the gate and waited. You know, besides the emperor Wen Wan, this was the first time she went out to wait for someone. Gentleness gave Mr. Fang enough face.
An ordinary carriage stopped at the gate of the Princess's Mansion, and a young child got out of the carriage. She had her hair combed and was wearing blue clothes. After getting out of the car, I moved a stool and placed it underneath. Wen Wan initially thought it was Mr. Fang's grandson, but now it seems that he should be his servant.
The man who got off the carriage was wearing a crescent-white robe with clivia embroidered on it. You could tell by looking at him that he loved clivia. Mr. Fang looks like he is in his early forties, so he is not a person who wants to go to work. Her jet-black hair was wrapped in a blue square scarf and placed on top of her head. She had a tall and straight figure, a straight back, and a bookish air all over her body. A pair of eyes, as profound and vast as a clear wave of tranquility, seeming to be able to tolerate countless injustices in the world and then endure them quietly.
Such a person actually said that he was old and sick. If Wen Wan hadn't been prepared for the news, he would have vomited blood.
When Wen Wan saw this person, she felt satisfied. A person without enough experience would not have such a pair of eyes that seems to be able to see into thousands of things. Wen Wan feels that such a person can be a teacher for Mingrui and Mingjin.
Went up to him gently and gave him a gentle blessing. With his gentle and noble status, giving gifts to people in public was the greatest face given to Mr. Fang.
In this era, scholars are the most respected, and teachers must also receive the highest hospitality from their students¡¯ parents. Being so gentle and polite will only be known as a polite and virtuous corporal.
Putting aside Wen Wan¡¯s identity, Wen Wan is also famous in the academic world, and she even has the title of the best female bachelor in the world. When Fang Shitong saw Wen Wan, he didn't dare to show off and hurriedly returned the gift.
Mingjin was still examining, but Mingrui had already bowed to Mr. Fang and saluted: "Well, sir." Mingrui also has a good eye. Seeing this person, Mingrui knew that this was not a simple person.
Mingjin only followed Mingrui's lead. Mingrui saluted, and Mingjin naturally followed suit and said, "Well, sir."
Generally speaking, children from powerful families have their eyes set higher than the sky. Mingrui and Mingjin rarely appear outside, and there are very few rumors about them. Even if there are rumors, smart people will take a wait-and-see attitude towards the rumors. Therefore, although Mr. Fang had previously heard that the two children were good, he also saw from the books written by Wen Wan that I had spent a lot of effort in raising the two children. But what you hear is false, and what you see is true. Now that Fang Shitong saw Mingrui and Mingjin being so polite, he felt more satisfied.
In fact, Fang Shitong did not promise Wen Wan in the letter that he would teach two children. I just said that I need to see if I have a teacher-student relationship first. In fact, Wen WanzhiThe Taoist alchemist has never seen the child before, fearing that he is too naughty and will never become a talented person. Wen Wan was not unhappy about this, but felt that it was good for Alchemist to be so cautious because of his status. It is precisely because of this that Fang Shitong came here without even bringing a package.
The alchemist went to the living room with him, and the maid brought tea and snacks. After talking for a while, they were all kind words. The alchemist asked Mingrui and Mingjin the same question unconsciously.
When it comes to answering questions, the two children are very familiar with it. Both of them have different views, but each has his own reasons. You can't say he's wrong either.
The alchemist was delighted and asked a few more questions, but the two children still answered them very well. Alchemist nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then glanced at Wen Wan. It means that we need to talk to Wenwan alone. (To be continued)
