I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

The next day, Wang Yan took Kang Jian and went to the academy with the Qin family's team. After the morning class, he took Kang Jian and slipped out of the academy while the teachers and students were not paying attention.After discovering that he was not in the academy, the only one who was sitting next to him was Aniel.

The courtyard where the patriarch's family lives is located in the center of the village. It is a four-way courtyard that is rare in the village. Together with several surrounding courtyards, they form a large courtyard group.Standing at the door, Wang Yan looked at the two doors, shook his head slightly, and signaled Kang Jian to knock on the door.

He had already discussed with Kang Jian before going to bed last night, and if he came to the door today, he would definitely not be able to bluntly reveal his identity.However, the false identity reported cannot be low—there are many students in Chongshi Academy who are descendants of wealthy families in Shaanxi, and the patriarch is not new to the world. Speak the truth easily.

However, both Wang Yan and Kang Jian's accents have a capital accent, and they won't be able to change it for a while.In the capital, there are the most powerful families.The people walking casually on the street are probably relatives of fourth- and fifth-rank officials—relatives of fourth- and fifth-rank officials may be lowered for other errands, but they are used to suppress people in this village. The patriarch, too, is enough.

What's more, to be on the safe side, Wang Yan still chooses a false identity—there are quite a few officials with the surname Wang in the capital. Write a letter to the capital to verify his identity?Even if the patriarch really wrote a letter to verify, Qin Shangshu probably wouldn't bother to ask one by one, which of the colleagues surnamed Wang had a young master named "Wang Yan" in his family.

Kang Jian walked over and knocked on the door, and immediately a family member came out to inquire. After going in and reporting clearly, not long after, Qin Mengdong, the current patriarch of the clan house, came out.Although he was putting on airs, he felt a little unnatural when he heard that Wang Yan was the son of a high-ranking official in the capital, Mr. Wang's family.He also knew that his performance was a bit embarrassing, so he secretly cheered himself up in his heart: the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is still a cousin in the clan, and speaking of which, he is also a relative of a high-ranking official in the capital, and this prince...is no different in status !

Thinking of it this way, he seemed to have a little more confidence, and his expressions and movements became more natural.

Soon, Qin Mengdong brought Wang Yan to the main room in the outer courtyard, and asked someone to serve him tea.After the two sat down, they exchanged a few polite words with each other. In the end, it was Qin Mengdong who couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked, "Nephew Wang Xian is here this time..."

"My uncle and Qin Shangshu are colleagues. My nephew came to study this time. In terms of etiquette, I should also come to meet the patriarch. It's just that my little nephew is very weak in knowledge. I have been rushing homework in the academy for a few days ago, and I only found time today. Come here to pay respects, and I hope the patriarch will not blame you."

Chongshi Academy said it was backed by Qin Family Village, but in fact it was Qin Mengzhang's own property.Wang Yan came to study, and it was his courtesy to come to say hello to himself, the patriarch, but what could he do if he didn’t come to say hello—every year, there were at least one or twenty students who came to Chongshi Academy’s affiliated school from outside. If you don't recognize them all, you can't talk about blaming them.

Qin Mengdong smiled "haha", but acted as if he was very generous, "Nephew Wang Xian is too worried."

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Yancai seemed to mention it unintentionally, "In fact, Chongshi Academy has a long-standing reputation—not only Qin Shangshu, but I remember that there was also a grand master named Bai who was born here at the time of the first emperor? Uncle said yes When I was talking with Jinshang once, Jinshang also mentioned that grand master, and he praised his knowledge very much."

As he spoke, he quietly observed the expression on the patriarch's face.When he just said the words "Grand Master surnamed Bai", Qin Mengdong's face seemed to be a little stiff, and there was some surprise, as if he couldn't figure out why someone would suddenly mention such a person in front of him It seems to come.However, when he said the last sentence, there was a little relief in his eyes, and he should have made up some reasons by himself.

"That old Mr. Bai used to study with us." He readily admitted, "It's just that, nephew Wang Xian, you may not know it at a young age. He committed crimes in his early years, and I haven't heard of him for many years. The news, and no one mentioned him. I didn't expect..."

He stared at Wang Yan suspiciously, with a pensive look in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Wang Yan's face was as usual - if the patriarch of a village could see that something was wrong from his face, he would have lived his life in vain. "Oh? I haven't heard my uncle say that. I only heard that this old Mr. Bai won the first prize in the imperial examination, but later achieved higher results than the number one scholar and the second place in the same year. Master Fu valued him, he was promoted all the way, and then he became the prince and grand teacher... The number one scholar and the second place in the same year as him did not know where he was in the officialdom. Maybe this is what my uncle used to motivate me, and I was very yearning when I heard it .I didn’t expect...then I would commit a crime later.”

Qin Mengdong obviously didn't want to say more about Bai Shanqing, so he laughed "hehe" twice, pretending that he didn't understand the inquiring meaning in Wang Yan's words.

However, he was unwilling to talk about it, but Wang Yan would not let this topic go easily.You asked a few questions about Bai Shanqing, and finally forced Qin Mengdong to push this problem to others: "I can't say anything about Mr. Bai, nephew Wang Xian asked me. Those old people in the village who were acquainted with Mr. Bai probably have almost gone over these years. However." He paused with a smile, "Dean Qin of the academy is related to Mr. Bai—the mother of cousin Meng Zhang , and Mrs. Bai's wife are direct sisters, and Mr. Bai was a student in the academy at the time. Cousin Meng Zhang must be clear about his affairs. Why should nephew Wang Xian go far and come to ask me?"

"Ah?" Wang Yan's face revealed a surprised look just right, "I don't know, it turns out that Mr. Dean and Mr. Bai are still married."

"It's not just with relatives?" The patriarch sneered, with a little bit of resentment and disdain, "The patriarch's daughter adopted by his family is also Mr. Bai's granddaughter. Brother Mengzhang was kind enough to send her back to the clan. After her biological mother passed away, she took her into the family and raised her as her own daughter. Nephew Wang Xian said, with such a close relationship, how could cousin Mengzhang not remember Mr. Bai’s past? ?”

Although he didn't reveal anything about Bai Shanqing's past, what Qin Mengdong said inadvertently surprised Wang Yan even more.The clan daughter adopted by Qin Mengzhang's family... Isn't that... my neighbor?

She...is actually Bai Shanqing's granddaughter?

In an instant, Wang Yan felt a feeling of "It doesn't take much effort to get it".In the final analysis, the errand entrusted to him by his father was to pave the way for finding Bai Shanqing's descendants in the future.Now the emperor's thoughts have not been revealed, and the brothers and ministers have not noticed it yet.He couldn't help but search in his memory: Who did this job back then?

That year, the emperor's father ordered to find Bai Shanqing's descendants and return the family property.Later, it seems...

He suddenly noticed what Qin Mengdong said just now, "She was sent back to the clan by cousin Meng Yuan together with her biological mother..."

Wang Yan immediately restrained his absent-mindedness, and said seemingly unintentionally, "If my nephew remembers correctly, Meng Yuan is the name of Mr. Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, right?" He seemed to have discovered some new gossip suddenly, with a slight Staring at the patriarch excitedly, "Could it be that Mr. Bai's granddaughter is Qin Shangshu's daughter? My nephew has been living in the capital these years, and I have heard stories about the deep love between Qin Shangshu and his wife. Unexpectedly, Qin Shangshu still has a door wife?"

In this world, no matter men or women, there is actually no one who does not gossip.It's just that men and women pay attention to different points. Gossip may be a woman's nature, but men—when it comes to fame and fortune, their gossip ability and enthusiasm are actually no better than those in the streets. Gossip women are poor.

However, Qin Mengdong was still a little sober after all, he only said, "Aniang is indeed the daughter of Meng Yuan's cousin." After that, he refused to go into details.When Wang Yan asked further, he pretended to be a seasoned Taoist, and kept saying that he couldn't talk about his cousin's housework, so he refused to speak again.

Qin Mengdong refused to say any more, and it was impossible for Wang Yan to expose his real identity at this time to force him, so he changed the subject and talked about other things before leaving.

However, even so, today's harvest is enough.It's just that I never thought that I was so close to the person I was looking for.

Moreover, he finally understood why he vaguely remembered that the descendants of Mr. Bai in his previous life were found, but he had no memory of this person himself.If Mr. Bai’s descendant is a girl or a granddaughter, it makes sense again—if it’s a male descendant, even if he can’t lift himself up, he still has to give him a family background from the way of yin and yang, but if She is a granddaughter, so there is no reward at all. At most, the imperial court sent her some gold and silver as a dowry.

***

However, Hui Niang didn't know that someone even thought about her dowry in the future.Wang Yan's sudden disappearance. Although she noticed it, she didn't think about it in any unnecessary direction. She just sat at her small table and practiced writing Analects silently.After studying in the academy for a few days, she can now recite the entire "Analects of Confucius" with almost no difference. Although it is inevitable that she stumbles, it is not a small improvement compared to before.

Because she is not the focus of the gentlemen in the academy, she relies more on her own self-awareness in daily reading. Occasionally, she forgets a word or two, or recites something wrong, and quietly corrects it in front of the book, and no one can find out.

However, such a process of "writing by myself - correcting mistakes by myself - and then correcting" is full of interest for the time being, because I can feel every bit of my own gains more clearly when I am in it. energy.Since she had forgotten the original intention of going to the academy to study, she couldn't care less about anything else.
