Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination
Chapter 43
All the students chatted around the fourth prince, talking about some things about studying.Some people gave the poems they wrote to the fourth prince, some people gave the article they wrote to the fourth prince, and some gave the couplets they wrote to the fourth prince.
Everyone knows that the fourth prince attaches great importance to reading, and they all want to show their faces in front of the fourth prince, and get the appreciation and attention of the fourth prince.
Although everyone is the son of the famous world and the noble family, even if they don't get the appreciation of the fourth prince, they will not worry about eating and drinking in the future, but they are all ambitious people, and they don't want to rely on the blessing of the family to get a future. I want to get a good future through my own ability.After all, with the appreciation of the fourth prince, he can hold his head up in the family.
The fourth prince is gentle and gentle, without any pretensions of a prince, he has read all the articles and poems that everyone gave him, and seriously evaluates them after reading them.
Looking at what happened in the distance, Jia Lian couldn't help feeling strange: "Isn't it going to play polo? How did it become an exchange meeting?"
Ming Wanju didn't seem surprised at all, and said calmly, "It's hard for everyone to see the Fourth Prince, but today I'm invited to participate in the polo competition. Before the game starts, of course I want to show my face in front of the Fourth Prince."
When Jia Lian heard this, he suddenly said, "So that's how it is."
Ming Wanju looked at Jia Lian teasingly: "Aren't you going to show off your talent?"
Jia Lian shook her head lightly: "No, I'm most afraid of being asked to write poems and lyrics now."
"Why?" Ming Wanju looked puzzled, "You are so talented and afraid of composing poems and lyrics?"
"If you were asked to write poems and lyrics every day, would you be happy?" After finishing speaking, Jia Lian had a frightened expression on his face.
"I'm not happy." Ming Wanju thought about his own experiences in the past. When he was a child, he was smart and could compose poems, lyrics and couplets. Every time someone came to the house, he would be asked to compose poems, lyrics or couplets, which made him very disgusted.
"So, I won't go to join in the fun."
Ming Wanju raised his hand and patted Jia Lian's shoulder with an expression of "I understand you".
"It seems that the polo match will not start for a while."
"You want to play polo?"
"I don't want to, and I won't either, but I want to see it." He didn't want to come to this polo match at all, but he couldn't refuse the fourth prince's invitation, so he had to come. "Brother Wanju, do you want to participate?"
"I'm not going either."
"Brother Wanju doesn't know how to play polo either?" Jia Lian saw Ming Wanju's strong figure, and he must have been exercising regularly, as if he didn't know how to play polo.
"I will, but I don't want to play polo with these people." These people play polo to impress the Fourth Prince. With the goal of skill, they lose the fun of playing polo.
Jia Lian nodded to show that he understood that different ways do not conspire with each other.
"Then Wan Ju brother will be a pure spectator like me today."
"Brother Lian doesn't know how to play polo, how about I teach you how to play polo when I have time?"
"I can't ask for it."
The two were chatting when suddenly there was a burst of cheers from a distance.
"Brother Jia's poem is really good."
"Brother Jia is so talented."
"We can't compare to Brother Jia."
Jia Zhu just wrote a poem, and asked the fourth prince to taste it.Before the fourth prince could comment, the students on the side began to praise him.
Everyone knew that Jia Zhu's uncle, Wang Ziteng, was the target of the fourth prince, so they gave Jia Zhu a lot of face and praised him.
"Your poem is well written." The fourth prince commented.
When Jia Zhu heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened, and her expression was a little excited and proud.
"However," the Fourth Prince's words suddenly changed, "Your poem is well-behaved, but it has no aura."
When Jia Zhu heard this, the smile on her face froze immediately, as if she didn't believe that the fourth prince would say that about him.Didn't the fourth prince want to win over his uncle? Why...
The fourth prince glanced at Jia Zhu, and he knew what he was thinking in his heart, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.He wanted to win over Wang Ziteng, but he would not condescend to please Wang Ziteng's nephew.
Jia Zhu came back to her senses, and said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord, for your comment."
"Most of your poems are very good, but they are all well-behaved and have no aura."
All the students: "My lord taught that."
The fourth prince sighed slightly: "The current poetry is still inferior to the poetry of the Tang and Song Dynasties." After finishing speaking, he looked regretful, "The current poetry lacks the style of the Tang and Song Dynasties."
All the students agreed: "What the prince said is true."
The fourth prince looked up at Jia Zhu, and said with a smile: "Your cousin Jia Lian, his poems are very good and full of inspiration." After speaking, he glanced at the crowd and asked without seeing Jia Lian , "Jia Lian didn't come?"
When Jia Zhu heard that the fourth prince praised Jia Lian, her heart was filled with jealousy, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes.
"My lord, the student's cousin Jia Lian is here."
"Where is it, call him for me."
"Yes."
Jia Lian was chatting with Ming Wanju about the famous scenery in the capital, when he suddenly saw a eunuch approaching, he had a bad premonition in his heart, thinking that the eunuch came to look for him.
"I have met Mr. Ming." The eunuch first saluted Ming Wan, and then saluted Jia Lian. "I have met Mr. Lian. Your lord invites you."
"Thank you, father-in-law." Jia Lian sighed deeply and helplessly in his heart, then looked at Ming Wanju, and invited, "Brother Wanju, let's go together?"
Ming Wanju nodded slightly: "Then go there together." He can't hide forever, it's time to pay his respects to the Fourth Prince.
Jia Lian and Ming Wanju walked over together and bowed to the fourth prince.
"Student Jia Lian has met the prince."
"Student Ming Wanju has seen the prince."
"Get up." The Fourth Prince was surprised to see Jia Lian and Ming Wanju coming together.
"Thank you, Lord."
"Jia Lian, I have read the couplets you wrote on the government examination paper, and they are very well written."
"Thank you, my lord, for your compliment."
"I originally thought that you would not be the chief of the case this time, but I didn't expect you to be the chief of the case. This king really underestimated you before."
Jia Lian said with a look of panic: "The student is just lucky." The fourth prince called him here to praise him in front of so many people, which was to make him a target of public criticism.Now he feels like a light is on his back, and he is about to be pierced into a sieve by these knife-like eyes.
The fourth prince praised Jia Lian but didn't say anything, turned to look at Ming Wanju, and praised Ming Wanju.
Seeing the fourth prince turning his head to praise Wan Ju, Jia Lian was deeply relieved in his heart.
After boasting about Ming Wanju, the fourth prince saluted the others again, and then announced the start of the polo match.
Just now the fourth prince praised Jia Lian's poems for their inspiration, which made everyone jealous of Jia Lian, and wanted to make Jia Lian make a fool of himself.So they challenged Jia Lian to play polo with him.
When Jia Lian said that he couldn't play polo, everyone didn't believe him, and they used all kinds of words to provoke and provoke him.
No matter what they say, Jia Lian insists that he does not know how to play polo.
He thought that he would be fooled into playing polo by using the aggressive method. He is not a fool, just making a joke of his own life.
Seeing that Jia Lian was unmoved, everyone was very angry, and then thought of riding a horse, but Jia Lian still didn't compare.
Jia Lian knew that the purpose of these people's competition with him was not pure, so he would not be fooled.
Seeing that Jia Lian didn't play polo or ride a horse, everyone ridiculed him as a coward and a coward who could do nothing but write two poems.
Ming Wanju couldn't bear to see everyone bullying Jia Lian so much, and said a few good words for Jia Lian.Seeing that Ming Wanju spoke for Jia Lian, everyone dared not say anything more.
"Thank you, Brother Wan Ju, for your help."
Ming Wan waved his hands: "They are jealous that you are appreciated by the Fourth Prince, so they tried every means to make you look ugly, but they didn't expect you to be fooled, so they used words to provoke you."
Jia Lian spread his hands: "I really don't know how to play polo, nor can I ride a horse. No matter how aggressive I am, I won't compete bravely."
Ming Wanju didn't expect Jia Lian to be so calm. If it was him, and he was provoked by unbearable words, he would definitely take a gamble and go to the competition.Unexpectedly, Jia Lian was so steady at such a young age, unaffected by any words.
"Aren't you afraid that after today's end, there will be rumors that you are a coward, greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid, they can pass it on as they like."
Ming Wanju took a deep look at Jia Lian, seeing that he really didn't care, he couldn't help but look at him with admiration, it's really admirable to have such a heart at such a young age.
"The game is about to start, let's just be spectators."
"kindness."
There are [-] people who came to participate in the polo competition this time, and they are divided into three groups: Qingshan Academy, Blue Mountain Academy, and Zishan Academy. The fourth prince is the referee.
When the drums sounded, the game officially started. A group of teenagers aged [-], [-] and [-] rode horses and grabbed the ball with sticks. The game was very fierce.
Jia Lian and Ming Wanju stood watching with great interest, when suddenly the ball flew towards them, to be precise, towards Jia Lian.
At first he was stunned, but soon Jia Lian reacted and dodged to the side. The ball flew past him without hitting him.
A young man in a blue gown rode up to Jia Lian, sat on the horse and looked down at Jia Lian with a provocative look: "I didn't pay attention just now, I almost hit you."
Knowing that this person did it on purpose, Jia Lian was very angry, his expression turned cold, and he said sarcastically, "My dear man, if your skills are not good, then you should not play polo, so as not to embarrass you."
"You..." Lai Qi's face was livid, and he wanted to hit Jia Lian with the stick in his hand.
Jia Lian looked at the person in front of him coldly: "Are you sure you want to hit me with this stick?"
"You think I dare not?"
Jia Lian folded his hands on his chest, with an expression of fearlessness: "Then you fight, it just so happens that I have an excuse to sue the lord."
When the visitor heard Jia Lian mentioning the prince, he stopped his movements and did not dare to act recklessly.He could only point a stick at Jia Lian, and said viciously, "Jia Lian, just wait for me."
"Who are you, why should I wait for you?" Jia Lian sneered.
"You..." Lai's angry eyes glared at Jia Lian, wanting to eat Jia Lian.
Ming Wanju looked coldly at the young man sitting on the horse: "Li Luosheng, you almost hurt brother Lian first, not only did you not apologize, but you even beat him. Is this how your Li family's upbringing is?"
Li Luosheng didn't dare to quarrel with Ming Wanju, so he snorted coldly and rode away.
"Who is this defiant kid?"
"Li Luosheng, the youngest son of Master Li, Shaoqing of Honghe Temple."
Jia Lian wrote down Li Luosheng's name, and later looked for an opportunity to recover the debt just now.He is not a good person, and he is not that magnanimous. If anyone plots against him, he will definitely take revenge.
Ming Wanju raised his hand and patted Jia Lian's shoulder, comforting him, "He should be jealous of you being appreciated by Prince Jin."
Of course Jia Lian knew why Li Luosheng did this, and scolded the fourth prince in his heart.If the fourth prince hadn't specially called him over to praise him, he wouldn't be hated by others.
Ming Wanju and Jia Lian watched their polo game for a while and felt that it was not interesting, so they stood aside and chatted.
The two chatted too vigorously, and didn't notice the ball that flew over suddenly.With a bang, Jia Lian's forehead was hit hard by the flying ball.
A burst of severe pain hit, and Jia Lian gasped in pain, and then a redness appeared in front of his eyes.
"Brother Lian." Ming Wanju cried out worriedly when he saw Jia Lian's head was bleeding.
Jia Lian covered the place where he was hit by the ball, and looked up at the stadium to see who hit it. As a result, everyone in the stadium looked innocent as if they didn't know what happened.
"Shen Wenran." Ming Wanju suddenly shouted loudly, "You smashed someone, do you want to pretend that nothing happened?"
Shen Wenran looked at Ming Wanju innocently: "Brother Ming, which eye of yours saw me hitting someone? Did you see me hitting someone?"
People in the stadium shook their heads: "I didn't see it."
Jia Lian clutched the bruised forehead, staring coldly at the handsome young man in green shirt who was sitting on the horse not far away.It is certain that it was this Shen Wenran who injured him.
"Shen Wenran, the guards at the side have seen it. If you don't admit it, we will go to the prince for comment."
Shen Wenran didn't expect Ming Wanju to defend Jia Lian so much, and felt very upset.He didn't want to admit it, but it was true what Ming Wanju said, and all the guards on the side saw it.
"Why, dare to act or not to act?" Ming Wanju looked at Shen Wenran mockingly, "I never thought you would be a coward who dare to act but not to act."
Shen Wenran was so provoked by Ming Wanju, he was immediately fooled: "What's wrong with me, I didn't mean it, who asked him to stand by the side of the court."
"You are still so arrogant after smashing someone, let's go to the prince for comment."
"I didn't mean it." Shen Wenran was very annoyed by Ming Wanju's persistent attitude, but he didn't dare to offend Ming Wanju.
Paralyzed, Jia Lian scolded in his heart, if the tiger doesn't show its power, treat him as a sick cat.Jia Lian raised his hand, wiped the blood on his forehead with his sleeve, then raised his foot and walked towards the guard at the side. Before the guard had time to react, he pulled out the knife from his waist and walked towards Shen Wenran with the knife.
Seeing Jia Lian walking towards him with a knife, Shen Wenran couldn't help being a little scared, but for the sake of face, he pretended to be calm.
Seeing Jia Lian approaching aggressively with a knife, the people in the stadium couldn't help being a little scared.
What is Jia Lian doing with the knife, is he going to chop Shen Wenran?
"Jia Lian, what are you doing with the knife? Do you dare to cut me down?" Shen Wenran provoked Jia Lian in order to show that he was not afraid.
Jia Lian ignored Shen Wenran and slashed at him with a knife.
Seeing that Jia Lian was really going to cut him, Shen Wenran was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. Fortunately, the person next to him kicked his horse. The horse was suddenly frightened by the kick, and ran up its legs, dodging Jia Lian's knife. .
"Jia Lian killed someone." The stadium suddenly became noisy.
Sitting on the high platform, the fourth prince saw the chaos in the stadium and sent someone to ask what happened.Soon, Lin Shaoxiong came back and told the fourth prince about Jia Lian beating Shen Wenran with a knife.
The fourth prince sent Lin Shaoxiong to call Jia Lian over, wondering how he could stab someone with a knife.
"Young Master Jia, it's dangerous to hold a knife at such a young age, throw it away quickly," Lin Shaoxiong persuaded.
Jia Lian obediently threw away the thing in his hand. He just took a knife to slash Shen Wenran just to scare him, but he didn't dare to slash it.
"My lord has invited Mr. Jia."
Seeing that Jia Lian's forehead was cut and bleeding, Lin Shaoxiong probably guessed what happened.
Ming Wanju came over and said to Jia Lian, "I'll go with you to testify for you." He was just startled by Jia Lian's move to chop Shen Wenran.
"Thank you."
Jia Lian and Ming Wanju followed Lin Shaoxiong to the fourth prince.
The fourth prince saw that Jia Lian's forehead was injured and was bleeding all the time, dyeing his delicate and beautiful face red, it was shocking.
"What's the matter, how did you get hurt?"
"Back to the lord, the wound on Jia Lian's forehead was caused by Shen Wenran, who deliberately threw a polo on Jia Lian's head."
"Go down and treat the wound first." After the fourth prince finished speaking, he turned to look at Lin Shaoxiong, "Go and call Shen Wenran."
"Yes."
Jia Lian first went to the eunuch to treat the wound.The fourth prince was afraid that someone would be injured while playing polo, so he specially brought an imperial doctor here.
Lin Shaoxiong quickly brought Shen Wenran over. Shen Wenran complained first, saying that Jia Lian had hacked him with a knife.
The fourth prince ignored him, and asked him coldly, "Why did you hurt Jia Lian on purpose?"
Shen Wenran said with an innocent face: "My lord, I didn't do it on purpose. I accidentally missed the ball and hit Jia Lian."
Why can't the fourth prince see Shen Wenran's thoughts, and he knows that he is lying when he hears it.
"Go and apologize to Jia Lian."
Shen Wenran didn't want to apologize to Jia Lian, but he had to listen to what the fourth prince had to say, and said unwillingly, "I'll go right away."
The fourth prince stood up: "This king will go with you."
Seeing that the fourth prince wanted to go together, Shen Wenran hated Jia Lian even more, wondering why the fourth prince valued Jia Lian so much.
The fourth prince walked into the tent, Jia Lian and the imperial physician were about to salute him, but he stopped him: "No need to salute." After speaking, he asked the imperial physician, "How is Jia Lian's injury? Is it serious?"
"Going back to the prince, Mr. Jia's wound is not serious, but the skin is broken and red and swollen. Apply some medicine and rest for a few days to heal."
Hearing this, the fourth prince felt relieved: "That's good." After finishing speaking, he suddenly thought of a question, "Will there be scars?" Jia Lian is a good-looking boy, if he left a scar, it would destroy his picture Pretty face, that would be such a pity.
"After the wound has healed, apply the scar-relieving gel to remove the scar."
"That's good."
The fourth prince asked the imperial physician to continue to bandage Jia Lian's wound, and when the imperial physician had finished bandaging Jia Lian's wound, he said coldly to Shen Wenran who was beside him, "Don't apologize yet!"
Unwillingly, Shen Wenran apologized to Jia Lian: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." No matter the tone or attitude, there was no sincerity at all, and it was very perfunctory.
Just as Jia Lian was about to say something, Jia Zhu walked in at this moment, ran up to him, grabbed his arm, and asked nervously and worriedly, "Brother Lian, how are you? Is your injury serious? ?”
"Brother, I'm fine, just a small injury."
Hearing this, Jia Zhu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that I'm fine, I was really scared to death just now."
Jia Lian looked at Jia Zhu, and seeing Jia Zhu's worried expression, couldn't help being a little surprised that Jia Zhu cared so much about him!However, thinking that Jia Zhu might be putting on a show, after all, he is his cousin, and something happened to his cousin, so he couldn't remain indifferent.
Jia Zhu let go of Jia Lian, and glared angrily at the classmates beside her: "Shen Wenran, what's the matter with you?"
"I didn't mean to."
Jia Lian walked up to Shen Wenran and smiled brightly at him.Jia Lian had a very pretty smile, and Shen Wenran was slightly startled.
"Shen Wenran, I smashed you and then apologized to you saying I didn't do it on purpose, what do you think?"
Shen Wenran didn't expect Jia Lian to say such words, and his eyes widened in astonishment: "I apologize to you, what else do you want?"
"I don't accept your apology." Jia Lian suddenly pushed Shen Wenran, sat on him, and punched him in the face a few times before he could react.
Shen Wenran was awakened by a sharp pain, and hurriedly asked the Fourth Prince for help: "My lord, help..." He shouted, trying to push Jia Lian away, but unfortunately he couldn't, and received several punches in the face.
Ming Wanju and the others were startled by Jia Lian's sudden beating action, as if they couldn't believe that Jia Lian was so bold, even the fourth prince was stunned by Jia Lian's behavior.
It wasn't until Shen Wenran screamed for help that the fourth prince came back to his senses and asked Lin Shaoxiong to pull Jia Lian away.
Jia Lian punched Shen Wenran in the face more than a dozen times, which was regarded as a relief for himself, so when Lin Shaoxiong pulled him, he stood up from Shen Wenran.
Shen Wenran was beaten so badly by Jia Lian that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He cried and shouted, "My lord, Jia Lian hit me..."
"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it just now, don't mind." Jia Lian imitated Shen Wenran's tone and attitude just now, and apologized to him.
Seeing Jia Lian doing this, Ming Wanju turned his body and covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing, but his trembling shoulders gave him away.
Jia Zhu didn't expect Jia Lian to dare to do this, she looked at the daring Jia Lian with a dumbfounded expression.
Hearing Jia Lian's apology, the Fourth Prince was startled for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Hehe..."
Shen Wenran saw that the fourth prince not only didn't help him, but also laughed, and shouted with grievance: "My lord..." The wound he accidentally pulled on his mouth caused him to gasp in pain.
The fourth prince restrained his smile, and asked Jia Lian with a straight face, "Why did you beat Shen Wenran?"
Jia Lian took it for granted: "He hit me on purpose and hurt me, of course I want to get back." He is not easy to bully.
The fourth prince did not expect Jia Lian to be so vengeful, he was a little surprised: "He even apologized to you, why are you still beating him?"
"There was no sincerity in his apology."
Shen Wenran covered his swollen face, and looked at the fourth prince pitifully: "My lord, my apology is obviously very sincere, he just wanted to hit me on purpose."
"Then my apology just now was also very sincere."
"Okay, you two will be evened out, so don't worry about it anymore."
Shen Wenran's eyes widened, and he looked at the fourth prince in disbelief: "My lord, he beat me until my nose was bruised and my face was swollen, how can I forget it?"
"This matter was originally your fault." The fourth prince looked a little impatient, "This matter ends here, you two don't care about it."
Shen Wenran was very unconvinced, but he had to abide by the words of the fourth prince.
"Yes." After all, he is also a cousin of the Yan family. The fourth prince actually didn't help his relative at all, but instead helped Jia Lian, an outsider. It was really annoying.
"Students will obey the prince's words."
"Both of you are injured, go back and rest first."
"Yes."
"My lord, please allow the students to send Brother Lian back." Ming Wanju was not interested in this polo match at first, but he had to come, so he just took this opportunity to leave first.
Jia Zhu really wanted to stay, but seeing that Ming Wanju, an outsider, was going to send Jia Lian back, as his cousin, he couldn't help but express it.
"My lord, please also allow the students to send brother Lian home."
"Brother, I'm fine. I can go back by myself. You can stay and continue playing polo."
"You are injured, I don't worry about you going back alone, or I will send you back."
"In this case, the two of you will send Jia Lian back together."
"Yes."
The fourth prince ordered the eunuch at the side: "Send two carriages to take Young Master Jia and Young Master Shen back."
"Yes, my lord."
When getting into the carriage, Shen Wenran covered his face and glared at Jia Lian viciously: "Jia Lian, I will definitely get back the debt today, just wait for me."
Jia Lian looked at Shen Wenran disdainfully: "Okay, I'll wait."
Seeing that Jia Lian was not afraid of his threats, Shen Wenran was so angry that he wanted to eat him: "I will not let you go."
Jia Lian didn't bother to talk to Shen Wenran, and went straight into the carriage.Ming Wanju and Jia Zhu also boarded the carriage.
As soon as she sat down, Jia Zhu preached to Jia Lian: "Brother Lian, you were too impulsive just now, you shouldn't have hit Shen Wenran."
"He hurt me on purpose. If I didn't hit me back, he thought I was easy to bully."
"You..." Jia Zhu looked helpless, "Shen Wenran's father is the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and his family is a cousin of the Yan family. If you beat him up, he will not let you go."
"What about the cousins of the Yan family, I believe the Yan family is a reasonable family." Jia Lian didn't expect that Shen Wenran would still have a relationship with the Yan family, but he had beaten them all, and there was nothing to regret.
"Brother Lian, don't worry, the relatives of the Shen family and the Yan family are far apart." Ming Wanju comforted, "If the relationship between the Shen family and the Yan family is good, Prince Jin will protect Shen Wenran just now."
Hearing what Ming Wanju said, Jia Lian felt relieved: "Brother, it was the prince who said that I was even with him, so don't worry about it anymore."
Jia Zhu secretly resented, he didn't expect the Fourth Prince to defend Jia Lian instead of helping Shen Wenran.Does the fourth prince value Jia Lian so much? Why does Jia Lian appreciate him so much?
"Don't be so impulsive in doing things in the future." Shen Wenran was beaten up by Jia Lian until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He would definitely find him to settle the score. After all, he was the one who asked Shen Wenran to hurt Jia Lian.
"I know."
"Brother Lian, if Shen Wenran troubles you in private, come to me and I will teach him a lesson for you."
"Thank you, Brother Wanju." Jia Lian sincerely thanked Ming Wanju.
Seeing Ming Wanju defending Jia Lian in such a way, Jia Zhu was filled with jealousy.Although Ming Wanju was polite and courteous, he always kept a distance from others. It was never heard that he was very close to anyone. He never thought that he would become friends with Jia Lian.What is so good about Jia Lian is not only valued by the fourth prince, but also Ming Wanju.In what way is he inferior to Jia Lian? !
Soon, we arrived at Rongguo Mansion.
"Brother Wan Ju, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"
"No, I will officially visit your mansion next time."
"Thank you, Brother Wan Ju, for sending me back."
"Brother Lian, I'll come to see you again in two days, so I'll take my leave today."
"Brother Wan Ju, go slowly."
After Ming Wanju left in the carriage, Jia Zhu pretended to be curious and asked, "Brother Lian, do you have a good relationship with Ming Wanju?"
"We can chat with him, today we can be regarded as friends." Ming Wanju's character suits his appetite very well.The most important thing is that they can chat.
Distortion flashed in Jia Zhu's eyes, but there was a surprised expression on his face: "I didn't expect you to be friends with him. His grandfather is not only a scholar of the palace, but also the teacher of the late emperor, and also a teacher of the two dynasties. The old man has a very high status in the court, even the emperor gave him three points of courtesy."
In Qingshan Academy, he tried his best to befriend the children of famous families, but Jia Lian won the attention of the fourth prince and the favor of Ming Wanju without doing anything, how could he be convinced? !
Jia Lian didn't expect Ming Wanju's grandfather to be so awesome, no wonder so many students fawn on him, no wonder Shen Wenran is so afraid of him, no wonder the fourth prince is so kind to him.
Jia Zhu looked at Jia Lian with a look of ferocity in his eyes.He thought that the fourth prince would value him because of his uncle's face, but he didn't expect that the fourth prince didn't value him at all.He also said that Jia Lian's poems have aura and are better than his.Didn't this mean to humiliate Jia Lian on purpose? How could he swallow this breath.So, seeing Li Luosheng deliberately hit the ball in front of Jia Lian, he thought of an idea and asked Shen Wenran to hurt Jia Lian on purpose.
Shen Wenran is Jia Zhu's classmate, because Jia Zhu is generous and he doesn't have much money, so he gets close to Jia Zhu.Usually, if Jia Zhu has something to do, let him do it, and then give him money.
Jia Zhu instigated Shen Wenran to deliberately injure Jia Lian by playing polo.For money, Shen Wenran agreed.
Back at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhu was going to pay his respects to Jia Mu, so Jia Lian went with him, and the provincial Jia Zhu spread rumors in front of Jia Mu.
Jia's mother was very happy to see Jia Zhu came back, she pulled Jia Zhu and kept asking him how he was doing in the academy during this time, but she didn't notice Jia Lian's existence at all.
Seeing Jia Lian being neglected by Jia's mother, Jia Zhu felt a distorted pleasure in her heart. Even if Jia Lian was favored by the fourth prince and Ming Wanju, so what, it was not because she was not liked by her grandmother.
Mother Jia realized something was wrong after asking, shouldn't Jia Zhu and Jia Lian be participating in the fourth prince's polo match, why did they come back?
Jia Zhu told Jia Mu what happened on the polo field, because Jia Lian was there, he couldn't add more details, so he could only tell Jia Mu truthfully.
Only then did Jia's mother discover Jia Lian's existence. Seeing several cloth belts around Jia Lian's head, she pretended to be concerned and asked, "Brother Lian, how is your injury? Is it serious?"
Jia Lian was very disdainful of Jia Mu's concern, but he didn't show it: "Grandma, my injury is not serious, it's just a cut."
Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian with distressed expression: "I'm sorry for you." After finishing speaking, she looked angry again, "That Shen Wenran is so hateful, he deliberately hurt you, fortunately, Prince Jin was fair and let you get justice back .”
"Prince Jin is very fair."
"Grandmother, I think Brother Lian is too impulsive and shouldn't beat Shen Wenran. After all, Shen Wenran's father is the young minister of Guanglu Temple and a cousin of the Yan family."
When Jia's mother heard this, her face immediately changed, she frowned, and looked at Jia Lian with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Lian, your elder brother is right, you are too reckless."
Jia Zhu said worriedly: "I'm afraid the Shen family will make trouble for our Rongguo Mansion."
When Jia's mother heard this, her face immediately sank, and she reprimanded Jia Lian, "Brother Lian, why are you so impulsive? What if the Shen family troubles us?"
"If the Shen family troubles us, I'll go to Prince Jin, and the prince personally told us, let us both stop worrying about this matter." Jia Lian didn't care, "The Shen family troubles us, then It means that Shen Wenran doesn't take Prince Jin's words seriously."
When Jia Mu heard what Jia Lian said, she felt that it made sense, and she felt relieved: "You are right, if the Shen family troubles our family, it means that the Shen family does not take Prince Jin's words seriously, which is disrespectful. .”
Jia Zhu wanted to provoke her again, but she couldn't say anything more after hearing what Jia Lian said.He originally wanted his grandmother to teach Jia Lian a severe lesson, but it seemed that he couldn't do it.
Jia Lian looked at Jia Zhu coldly, he was really a despicable cousin, on the surface he was worried that their Rongguo Mansion would be troubled, but in fact he wanted the old lady to blame him.Fortunately, he came with him, otherwise I don't know how Jia Zhu told the old lady what happened today.
Everyone knows that the fourth prince attaches great importance to reading, and they all want to show their faces in front of the fourth prince, and get the appreciation and attention of the fourth prince.
Although everyone is the son of the famous world and the noble family, even if they don't get the appreciation of the fourth prince, they will not worry about eating and drinking in the future, but they are all ambitious people, and they don't want to rely on the blessing of the family to get a future. I want to get a good future through my own ability.After all, with the appreciation of the fourth prince, he can hold his head up in the family.
The fourth prince is gentle and gentle, without any pretensions of a prince, he has read all the articles and poems that everyone gave him, and seriously evaluates them after reading them.
Looking at what happened in the distance, Jia Lian couldn't help feeling strange: "Isn't it going to play polo? How did it become an exchange meeting?"
Ming Wanju didn't seem surprised at all, and said calmly, "It's hard for everyone to see the Fourth Prince, but today I'm invited to participate in the polo competition. Before the game starts, of course I want to show my face in front of the Fourth Prince."
When Jia Lian heard this, he suddenly said, "So that's how it is."
Ming Wanju looked at Jia Lian teasingly: "Aren't you going to show off your talent?"
Jia Lian shook her head lightly: "No, I'm most afraid of being asked to write poems and lyrics now."
"Why?" Ming Wanju looked puzzled, "You are so talented and afraid of composing poems and lyrics?"
"If you were asked to write poems and lyrics every day, would you be happy?" After finishing speaking, Jia Lian had a frightened expression on his face.
"I'm not happy." Ming Wanju thought about his own experiences in the past. When he was a child, he was smart and could compose poems, lyrics and couplets. Every time someone came to the house, he would be asked to compose poems, lyrics or couplets, which made him very disgusted.
"So, I won't go to join in the fun."
Ming Wanju raised his hand and patted Jia Lian's shoulder with an expression of "I understand you".
"It seems that the polo match will not start for a while."
"You want to play polo?"
"I don't want to, and I won't either, but I want to see it." He didn't want to come to this polo match at all, but he couldn't refuse the fourth prince's invitation, so he had to come. "Brother Wanju, do you want to participate?"
"I'm not going either."
"Brother Wanju doesn't know how to play polo either?" Jia Lian saw Ming Wanju's strong figure, and he must have been exercising regularly, as if he didn't know how to play polo.
"I will, but I don't want to play polo with these people." These people play polo to impress the Fourth Prince. With the goal of skill, they lose the fun of playing polo.
Jia Lian nodded to show that he understood that different ways do not conspire with each other.
"Then Wan Ju brother will be a pure spectator like me today."
"Brother Lian doesn't know how to play polo, how about I teach you how to play polo when I have time?"
"I can't ask for it."
The two were chatting when suddenly there was a burst of cheers from a distance.
"Brother Jia's poem is really good."
"Brother Jia is so talented."
"We can't compare to Brother Jia."
Jia Zhu just wrote a poem, and asked the fourth prince to taste it.Before the fourth prince could comment, the students on the side began to praise him.
Everyone knew that Jia Zhu's uncle, Wang Ziteng, was the target of the fourth prince, so they gave Jia Zhu a lot of face and praised him.
"Your poem is well written." The fourth prince commented.
When Jia Zhu heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened, and her expression was a little excited and proud.
"However," the Fourth Prince's words suddenly changed, "Your poem is well-behaved, but it has no aura."
When Jia Zhu heard this, the smile on her face froze immediately, as if she didn't believe that the fourth prince would say that about him.Didn't the fourth prince want to win over his uncle? Why...
The fourth prince glanced at Jia Zhu, and he knew what he was thinking in his heart, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.He wanted to win over Wang Ziteng, but he would not condescend to please Wang Ziteng's nephew.
Jia Zhu came back to her senses, and said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord, for your comment."
"Most of your poems are very good, but they are all well-behaved and have no aura."
All the students: "My lord taught that."
The fourth prince sighed slightly: "The current poetry is still inferior to the poetry of the Tang and Song Dynasties." After finishing speaking, he looked regretful, "The current poetry lacks the style of the Tang and Song Dynasties."
All the students agreed: "What the prince said is true."
The fourth prince looked up at Jia Zhu, and said with a smile: "Your cousin Jia Lian, his poems are very good and full of inspiration." After speaking, he glanced at the crowd and asked without seeing Jia Lian , "Jia Lian didn't come?"
When Jia Zhu heard that the fourth prince praised Jia Lian, her heart was filled with jealousy, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes.
"My lord, the student's cousin Jia Lian is here."
"Where is it, call him for me."
"Yes."
Jia Lian was chatting with Ming Wanju about the famous scenery in the capital, when he suddenly saw a eunuch approaching, he had a bad premonition in his heart, thinking that the eunuch came to look for him.
"I have met Mr. Ming." The eunuch first saluted Ming Wan, and then saluted Jia Lian. "I have met Mr. Lian. Your lord invites you."
"Thank you, father-in-law." Jia Lian sighed deeply and helplessly in his heart, then looked at Ming Wanju, and invited, "Brother Wanju, let's go together?"
Ming Wanju nodded slightly: "Then go there together." He can't hide forever, it's time to pay his respects to the Fourth Prince.
Jia Lian and Ming Wanju walked over together and bowed to the fourth prince.
"Student Jia Lian has met the prince."
"Student Ming Wanju has seen the prince."
"Get up." The Fourth Prince was surprised to see Jia Lian and Ming Wanju coming together.
"Thank you, Lord."
"Jia Lian, I have read the couplets you wrote on the government examination paper, and they are very well written."
"Thank you, my lord, for your compliment."
"I originally thought that you would not be the chief of the case this time, but I didn't expect you to be the chief of the case. This king really underestimated you before."
Jia Lian said with a look of panic: "The student is just lucky." The fourth prince called him here to praise him in front of so many people, which was to make him a target of public criticism.Now he feels like a light is on his back, and he is about to be pierced into a sieve by these knife-like eyes.
The fourth prince praised Jia Lian but didn't say anything, turned to look at Ming Wanju, and praised Ming Wanju.
Seeing the fourth prince turning his head to praise Wan Ju, Jia Lian was deeply relieved in his heart.
After boasting about Ming Wanju, the fourth prince saluted the others again, and then announced the start of the polo match.
Just now the fourth prince praised Jia Lian's poems for their inspiration, which made everyone jealous of Jia Lian, and wanted to make Jia Lian make a fool of himself.So they challenged Jia Lian to play polo with him.
When Jia Lian said that he couldn't play polo, everyone didn't believe him, and they used all kinds of words to provoke and provoke him.
No matter what they say, Jia Lian insists that he does not know how to play polo.
He thought that he would be fooled into playing polo by using the aggressive method. He is not a fool, just making a joke of his own life.
Seeing that Jia Lian was unmoved, everyone was very angry, and then thought of riding a horse, but Jia Lian still didn't compare.
Jia Lian knew that the purpose of these people's competition with him was not pure, so he would not be fooled.
Seeing that Jia Lian didn't play polo or ride a horse, everyone ridiculed him as a coward and a coward who could do nothing but write two poems.
Ming Wanju couldn't bear to see everyone bullying Jia Lian so much, and said a few good words for Jia Lian.Seeing that Ming Wanju spoke for Jia Lian, everyone dared not say anything more.
"Thank you, Brother Wan Ju, for your help."
Ming Wan waved his hands: "They are jealous that you are appreciated by the Fourth Prince, so they tried every means to make you look ugly, but they didn't expect you to be fooled, so they used words to provoke you."
Jia Lian spread his hands: "I really don't know how to play polo, nor can I ride a horse. No matter how aggressive I am, I won't compete bravely."
Ming Wanju didn't expect Jia Lian to be so calm. If it was him, and he was provoked by unbearable words, he would definitely take a gamble and go to the competition.Unexpectedly, Jia Lian was so steady at such a young age, unaffected by any words.
"Aren't you afraid that after today's end, there will be rumors that you are a coward, greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid, they can pass it on as they like."
Ming Wanju took a deep look at Jia Lian, seeing that he really didn't care, he couldn't help but look at him with admiration, it's really admirable to have such a heart at such a young age.
"The game is about to start, let's just be spectators."
"kindness."
There are [-] people who came to participate in the polo competition this time, and they are divided into three groups: Qingshan Academy, Blue Mountain Academy, and Zishan Academy. The fourth prince is the referee.
When the drums sounded, the game officially started. A group of teenagers aged [-], [-] and [-] rode horses and grabbed the ball with sticks. The game was very fierce.
Jia Lian and Ming Wanju stood watching with great interest, when suddenly the ball flew towards them, to be precise, towards Jia Lian.
At first he was stunned, but soon Jia Lian reacted and dodged to the side. The ball flew past him without hitting him.
A young man in a blue gown rode up to Jia Lian, sat on the horse and looked down at Jia Lian with a provocative look: "I didn't pay attention just now, I almost hit you."
Knowing that this person did it on purpose, Jia Lian was very angry, his expression turned cold, and he said sarcastically, "My dear man, if your skills are not good, then you should not play polo, so as not to embarrass you."
"You..." Lai Qi's face was livid, and he wanted to hit Jia Lian with the stick in his hand.
Jia Lian looked at the person in front of him coldly: "Are you sure you want to hit me with this stick?"
"You think I dare not?"
Jia Lian folded his hands on his chest, with an expression of fearlessness: "Then you fight, it just so happens that I have an excuse to sue the lord."
When the visitor heard Jia Lian mentioning the prince, he stopped his movements and did not dare to act recklessly.He could only point a stick at Jia Lian, and said viciously, "Jia Lian, just wait for me."
"Who are you, why should I wait for you?" Jia Lian sneered.
"You..." Lai's angry eyes glared at Jia Lian, wanting to eat Jia Lian.
Ming Wanju looked coldly at the young man sitting on the horse: "Li Luosheng, you almost hurt brother Lian first, not only did you not apologize, but you even beat him. Is this how your Li family's upbringing is?"
Li Luosheng didn't dare to quarrel with Ming Wanju, so he snorted coldly and rode away.
"Who is this defiant kid?"
"Li Luosheng, the youngest son of Master Li, Shaoqing of Honghe Temple."
Jia Lian wrote down Li Luosheng's name, and later looked for an opportunity to recover the debt just now.He is not a good person, and he is not that magnanimous. If anyone plots against him, he will definitely take revenge.
Ming Wanju raised his hand and patted Jia Lian's shoulder, comforting him, "He should be jealous of you being appreciated by Prince Jin."
Of course Jia Lian knew why Li Luosheng did this, and scolded the fourth prince in his heart.If the fourth prince hadn't specially called him over to praise him, he wouldn't be hated by others.
Ming Wanju and Jia Lian watched their polo game for a while and felt that it was not interesting, so they stood aside and chatted.
The two chatted too vigorously, and didn't notice the ball that flew over suddenly.With a bang, Jia Lian's forehead was hit hard by the flying ball.
A burst of severe pain hit, and Jia Lian gasped in pain, and then a redness appeared in front of his eyes.
"Brother Lian." Ming Wanju cried out worriedly when he saw Jia Lian's head was bleeding.
Jia Lian covered the place where he was hit by the ball, and looked up at the stadium to see who hit it. As a result, everyone in the stadium looked innocent as if they didn't know what happened.
"Shen Wenran." Ming Wanju suddenly shouted loudly, "You smashed someone, do you want to pretend that nothing happened?"
Shen Wenran looked at Ming Wanju innocently: "Brother Ming, which eye of yours saw me hitting someone? Did you see me hitting someone?"
People in the stadium shook their heads: "I didn't see it."
Jia Lian clutched the bruised forehead, staring coldly at the handsome young man in green shirt who was sitting on the horse not far away.It is certain that it was this Shen Wenran who injured him.
"Shen Wenran, the guards at the side have seen it. If you don't admit it, we will go to the prince for comment."
Shen Wenran didn't expect Ming Wanju to defend Jia Lian so much, and felt very upset.He didn't want to admit it, but it was true what Ming Wanju said, and all the guards on the side saw it.
"Why, dare to act or not to act?" Ming Wanju looked at Shen Wenran mockingly, "I never thought you would be a coward who dare to act but not to act."
Shen Wenran was so provoked by Ming Wanju, he was immediately fooled: "What's wrong with me, I didn't mean it, who asked him to stand by the side of the court."
"You are still so arrogant after smashing someone, let's go to the prince for comment."
"I didn't mean it." Shen Wenran was very annoyed by Ming Wanju's persistent attitude, but he didn't dare to offend Ming Wanju.
Paralyzed, Jia Lian scolded in his heart, if the tiger doesn't show its power, treat him as a sick cat.Jia Lian raised his hand, wiped the blood on his forehead with his sleeve, then raised his foot and walked towards the guard at the side. Before the guard had time to react, he pulled out the knife from his waist and walked towards Shen Wenran with the knife.
Seeing Jia Lian walking towards him with a knife, Shen Wenran couldn't help being a little scared, but for the sake of face, he pretended to be calm.
Seeing Jia Lian approaching aggressively with a knife, the people in the stadium couldn't help being a little scared.
What is Jia Lian doing with the knife, is he going to chop Shen Wenran?
"Jia Lian, what are you doing with the knife? Do you dare to cut me down?" Shen Wenran provoked Jia Lian in order to show that he was not afraid.
Jia Lian ignored Shen Wenran and slashed at him with a knife.
Seeing that Jia Lian was really going to cut him, Shen Wenran was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. Fortunately, the person next to him kicked his horse. The horse was suddenly frightened by the kick, and ran up its legs, dodging Jia Lian's knife. .
"Jia Lian killed someone." The stadium suddenly became noisy.
Sitting on the high platform, the fourth prince saw the chaos in the stadium and sent someone to ask what happened.Soon, Lin Shaoxiong came back and told the fourth prince about Jia Lian beating Shen Wenran with a knife.
The fourth prince sent Lin Shaoxiong to call Jia Lian over, wondering how he could stab someone with a knife.
"Young Master Jia, it's dangerous to hold a knife at such a young age, throw it away quickly," Lin Shaoxiong persuaded.
Jia Lian obediently threw away the thing in his hand. He just took a knife to slash Shen Wenran just to scare him, but he didn't dare to slash it.
"My lord has invited Mr. Jia."
Seeing that Jia Lian's forehead was cut and bleeding, Lin Shaoxiong probably guessed what happened.
Ming Wanju came over and said to Jia Lian, "I'll go with you to testify for you." He was just startled by Jia Lian's move to chop Shen Wenran.
"Thank you."
Jia Lian and Ming Wanju followed Lin Shaoxiong to the fourth prince.
The fourth prince saw that Jia Lian's forehead was injured and was bleeding all the time, dyeing his delicate and beautiful face red, it was shocking.
"What's the matter, how did you get hurt?"
"Back to the lord, the wound on Jia Lian's forehead was caused by Shen Wenran, who deliberately threw a polo on Jia Lian's head."
"Go down and treat the wound first." After the fourth prince finished speaking, he turned to look at Lin Shaoxiong, "Go and call Shen Wenran."
"Yes."
Jia Lian first went to the eunuch to treat the wound.The fourth prince was afraid that someone would be injured while playing polo, so he specially brought an imperial doctor here.
Lin Shaoxiong quickly brought Shen Wenran over. Shen Wenran complained first, saying that Jia Lian had hacked him with a knife.
The fourth prince ignored him, and asked him coldly, "Why did you hurt Jia Lian on purpose?"
Shen Wenran said with an innocent face: "My lord, I didn't do it on purpose. I accidentally missed the ball and hit Jia Lian."
Why can't the fourth prince see Shen Wenran's thoughts, and he knows that he is lying when he hears it.
"Go and apologize to Jia Lian."
Shen Wenran didn't want to apologize to Jia Lian, but he had to listen to what the fourth prince had to say, and said unwillingly, "I'll go right away."
The fourth prince stood up: "This king will go with you."
Seeing that the fourth prince wanted to go together, Shen Wenran hated Jia Lian even more, wondering why the fourth prince valued Jia Lian so much.
The fourth prince walked into the tent, Jia Lian and the imperial physician were about to salute him, but he stopped him: "No need to salute." After speaking, he asked the imperial physician, "How is Jia Lian's injury? Is it serious?"
"Going back to the prince, Mr. Jia's wound is not serious, but the skin is broken and red and swollen. Apply some medicine and rest for a few days to heal."
Hearing this, the fourth prince felt relieved: "That's good." After finishing speaking, he suddenly thought of a question, "Will there be scars?" Jia Lian is a good-looking boy, if he left a scar, it would destroy his picture Pretty face, that would be such a pity.
"After the wound has healed, apply the scar-relieving gel to remove the scar."
"That's good."
The fourth prince asked the imperial physician to continue to bandage Jia Lian's wound, and when the imperial physician had finished bandaging Jia Lian's wound, he said coldly to Shen Wenran who was beside him, "Don't apologize yet!"
Unwillingly, Shen Wenran apologized to Jia Lian: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." No matter the tone or attitude, there was no sincerity at all, and it was very perfunctory.
Just as Jia Lian was about to say something, Jia Zhu walked in at this moment, ran up to him, grabbed his arm, and asked nervously and worriedly, "Brother Lian, how are you? Is your injury serious? ?”
"Brother, I'm fine, just a small injury."
Hearing this, Jia Zhu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that I'm fine, I was really scared to death just now."
Jia Lian looked at Jia Zhu, and seeing Jia Zhu's worried expression, couldn't help being a little surprised that Jia Zhu cared so much about him!However, thinking that Jia Zhu might be putting on a show, after all, he is his cousin, and something happened to his cousin, so he couldn't remain indifferent.
Jia Zhu let go of Jia Lian, and glared angrily at the classmates beside her: "Shen Wenran, what's the matter with you?"
"I didn't mean to."
Jia Lian walked up to Shen Wenran and smiled brightly at him.Jia Lian had a very pretty smile, and Shen Wenran was slightly startled.
"Shen Wenran, I smashed you and then apologized to you saying I didn't do it on purpose, what do you think?"
Shen Wenran didn't expect Jia Lian to say such words, and his eyes widened in astonishment: "I apologize to you, what else do you want?"
"I don't accept your apology." Jia Lian suddenly pushed Shen Wenran, sat on him, and punched him in the face a few times before he could react.
Shen Wenran was awakened by a sharp pain, and hurriedly asked the Fourth Prince for help: "My lord, help..." He shouted, trying to push Jia Lian away, but unfortunately he couldn't, and received several punches in the face.
Ming Wanju and the others were startled by Jia Lian's sudden beating action, as if they couldn't believe that Jia Lian was so bold, even the fourth prince was stunned by Jia Lian's behavior.
It wasn't until Shen Wenran screamed for help that the fourth prince came back to his senses and asked Lin Shaoxiong to pull Jia Lian away.
Jia Lian punched Shen Wenran in the face more than a dozen times, which was regarded as a relief for himself, so when Lin Shaoxiong pulled him, he stood up from Shen Wenran.
Shen Wenran was beaten so badly by Jia Lian that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He cried and shouted, "My lord, Jia Lian hit me..."
"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it just now, don't mind." Jia Lian imitated Shen Wenran's tone and attitude just now, and apologized to him.
Seeing Jia Lian doing this, Ming Wanju turned his body and covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing, but his trembling shoulders gave him away.
Jia Zhu didn't expect Jia Lian to dare to do this, she looked at the daring Jia Lian with a dumbfounded expression.
Hearing Jia Lian's apology, the Fourth Prince was startled for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Hehe..."
Shen Wenran saw that the fourth prince not only didn't help him, but also laughed, and shouted with grievance: "My lord..." The wound he accidentally pulled on his mouth caused him to gasp in pain.
The fourth prince restrained his smile, and asked Jia Lian with a straight face, "Why did you beat Shen Wenran?"
Jia Lian took it for granted: "He hit me on purpose and hurt me, of course I want to get back." He is not easy to bully.
The fourth prince did not expect Jia Lian to be so vengeful, he was a little surprised: "He even apologized to you, why are you still beating him?"
"There was no sincerity in his apology."
Shen Wenran covered his swollen face, and looked at the fourth prince pitifully: "My lord, my apology is obviously very sincere, he just wanted to hit me on purpose."
"Then my apology just now was also very sincere."
"Okay, you two will be evened out, so don't worry about it anymore."
Shen Wenran's eyes widened, and he looked at the fourth prince in disbelief: "My lord, he beat me until my nose was bruised and my face was swollen, how can I forget it?"
"This matter was originally your fault." The fourth prince looked a little impatient, "This matter ends here, you two don't care about it."
Shen Wenran was very unconvinced, but he had to abide by the words of the fourth prince.
"Yes." After all, he is also a cousin of the Yan family. The fourth prince actually didn't help his relative at all, but instead helped Jia Lian, an outsider. It was really annoying.
"Students will obey the prince's words."
"Both of you are injured, go back and rest first."
"Yes."
"My lord, please allow the students to send Brother Lian back." Ming Wanju was not interested in this polo match at first, but he had to come, so he just took this opportunity to leave first.
Jia Zhu really wanted to stay, but seeing that Ming Wanju, an outsider, was going to send Jia Lian back, as his cousin, he couldn't help but express it.
"My lord, please also allow the students to send brother Lian home."
"Brother, I'm fine. I can go back by myself. You can stay and continue playing polo."
"You are injured, I don't worry about you going back alone, or I will send you back."
"In this case, the two of you will send Jia Lian back together."
"Yes."
The fourth prince ordered the eunuch at the side: "Send two carriages to take Young Master Jia and Young Master Shen back."
"Yes, my lord."
When getting into the carriage, Shen Wenran covered his face and glared at Jia Lian viciously: "Jia Lian, I will definitely get back the debt today, just wait for me."
Jia Lian looked at Shen Wenran disdainfully: "Okay, I'll wait."
Seeing that Jia Lian was not afraid of his threats, Shen Wenran was so angry that he wanted to eat him: "I will not let you go."
Jia Lian didn't bother to talk to Shen Wenran, and went straight into the carriage.Ming Wanju and Jia Zhu also boarded the carriage.
As soon as she sat down, Jia Zhu preached to Jia Lian: "Brother Lian, you were too impulsive just now, you shouldn't have hit Shen Wenran."
"He hurt me on purpose. If I didn't hit me back, he thought I was easy to bully."
"You..." Jia Zhu looked helpless, "Shen Wenran's father is the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and his family is a cousin of the Yan family. If you beat him up, he will not let you go."
"What about the cousins of the Yan family, I believe the Yan family is a reasonable family." Jia Lian didn't expect that Shen Wenran would still have a relationship with the Yan family, but he had beaten them all, and there was nothing to regret.
"Brother Lian, don't worry, the relatives of the Shen family and the Yan family are far apart." Ming Wanju comforted, "If the relationship between the Shen family and the Yan family is good, Prince Jin will protect Shen Wenran just now."
Hearing what Ming Wanju said, Jia Lian felt relieved: "Brother, it was the prince who said that I was even with him, so don't worry about it anymore."
Jia Zhu secretly resented, he didn't expect the Fourth Prince to defend Jia Lian instead of helping Shen Wenran.Does the fourth prince value Jia Lian so much? Why does Jia Lian appreciate him so much?
"Don't be so impulsive in doing things in the future." Shen Wenran was beaten up by Jia Lian until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He would definitely find him to settle the score. After all, he was the one who asked Shen Wenran to hurt Jia Lian.
"I know."
"Brother Lian, if Shen Wenran troubles you in private, come to me and I will teach him a lesson for you."
"Thank you, Brother Wanju." Jia Lian sincerely thanked Ming Wanju.
Seeing Ming Wanju defending Jia Lian in such a way, Jia Zhu was filled with jealousy.Although Ming Wanju was polite and courteous, he always kept a distance from others. It was never heard that he was very close to anyone. He never thought that he would become friends with Jia Lian.What is so good about Jia Lian is not only valued by the fourth prince, but also Ming Wanju.In what way is he inferior to Jia Lian? !
Soon, we arrived at Rongguo Mansion.
"Brother Wan Ju, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"
"No, I will officially visit your mansion next time."
"Thank you, Brother Wan Ju, for sending me back."
"Brother Lian, I'll come to see you again in two days, so I'll take my leave today."
"Brother Wan Ju, go slowly."
After Ming Wanju left in the carriage, Jia Zhu pretended to be curious and asked, "Brother Lian, do you have a good relationship with Ming Wanju?"
"We can chat with him, today we can be regarded as friends." Ming Wanju's character suits his appetite very well.The most important thing is that they can chat.
Distortion flashed in Jia Zhu's eyes, but there was a surprised expression on his face: "I didn't expect you to be friends with him. His grandfather is not only a scholar of the palace, but also the teacher of the late emperor, and also a teacher of the two dynasties. The old man has a very high status in the court, even the emperor gave him three points of courtesy."
In Qingshan Academy, he tried his best to befriend the children of famous families, but Jia Lian won the attention of the fourth prince and the favor of Ming Wanju without doing anything, how could he be convinced? !
Jia Lian didn't expect Ming Wanju's grandfather to be so awesome, no wonder so many students fawn on him, no wonder Shen Wenran is so afraid of him, no wonder the fourth prince is so kind to him.
Jia Zhu looked at Jia Lian with a look of ferocity in his eyes.He thought that the fourth prince would value him because of his uncle's face, but he didn't expect that the fourth prince didn't value him at all.He also said that Jia Lian's poems have aura and are better than his.Didn't this mean to humiliate Jia Lian on purpose? How could he swallow this breath.So, seeing Li Luosheng deliberately hit the ball in front of Jia Lian, he thought of an idea and asked Shen Wenran to hurt Jia Lian on purpose.
Shen Wenran is Jia Zhu's classmate, because Jia Zhu is generous and he doesn't have much money, so he gets close to Jia Zhu.Usually, if Jia Zhu has something to do, let him do it, and then give him money.
Jia Zhu instigated Shen Wenran to deliberately injure Jia Lian by playing polo.For money, Shen Wenran agreed.
Back at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhu was going to pay his respects to Jia Mu, so Jia Lian went with him, and the provincial Jia Zhu spread rumors in front of Jia Mu.
Jia's mother was very happy to see Jia Zhu came back, she pulled Jia Zhu and kept asking him how he was doing in the academy during this time, but she didn't notice Jia Lian's existence at all.
Seeing Jia Lian being neglected by Jia's mother, Jia Zhu felt a distorted pleasure in her heart. Even if Jia Lian was favored by the fourth prince and Ming Wanju, so what, it was not because she was not liked by her grandmother.
Mother Jia realized something was wrong after asking, shouldn't Jia Zhu and Jia Lian be participating in the fourth prince's polo match, why did they come back?
Jia Zhu told Jia Mu what happened on the polo field, because Jia Lian was there, he couldn't add more details, so he could only tell Jia Mu truthfully.
Only then did Jia's mother discover Jia Lian's existence. Seeing several cloth belts around Jia Lian's head, she pretended to be concerned and asked, "Brother Lian, how is your injury? Is it serious?"
Jia Lian was very disdainful of Jia Mu's concern, but he didn't show it: "Grandma, my injury is not serious, it's just a cut."
Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian with distressed expression: "I'm sorry for you." After finishing speaking, she looked angry again, "That Shen Wenran is so hateful, he deliberately hurt you, fortunately, Prince Jin was fair and let you get justice back .”
"Prince Jin is very fair."
"Grandmother, I think Brother Lian is too impulsive and shouldn't beat Shen Wenran. After all, Shen Wenran's father is the young minister of Guanglu Temple and a cousin of the Yan family."
When Jia's mother heard this, her face immediately changed, she frowned, and looked at Jia Lian with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Lian, your elder brother is right, you are too reckless."
Jia Zhu said worriedly: "I'm afraid the Shen family will make trouble for our Rongguo Mansion."
When Jia's mother heard this, her face immediately sank, and she reprimanded Jia Lian, "Brother Lian, why are you so impulsive? What if the Shen family troubles us?"
"If the Shen family troubles us, I'll go to Prince Jin, and the prince personally told us, let us both stop worrying about this matter." Jia Lian didn't care, "The Shen family troubles us, then It means that Shen Wenran doesn't take Prince Jin's words seriously."
When Jia Mu heard what Jia Lian said, she felt that it made sense, and she felt relieved: "You are right, if the Shen family troubles our family, it means that the Shen family does not take Prince Jin's words seriously, which is disrespectful. .”
Jia Zhu wanted to provoke her again, but she couldn't say anything more after hearing what Jia Lian said.He originally wanted his grandmother to teach Jia Lian a severe lesson, but it seemed that he couldn't do it.
Jia Lian looked at Jia Zhu coldly, he was really a despicable cousin, on the surface he was worried that their Rongguo Mansion would be troubled, but in fact he wanted the old lady to blame him.Fortunately, he came with him, otherwise I don't know how Jia Zhu told the old lady what happened today.
