  Chapter 5

   Later, Wen Ning recalled the scene of reuniting with Pei You countless times, and regretted it.

If she hadn't gone out that day, if she had been more considerate and hadn't recognized him at that time, if she had understood the haze that flashed in his eyes when she said she was "Wen's A Ning", everything might have been different .

  Thinking of this, Wen Ning has some calculations in her heart.

  Of course she doesn't want to see Pei You again, and she doesn't want to have any interaction with him. However, Wen Tingchun was an official of the imperial court, and her two elder brothers were also working in the imperial court. It was impossible for her to leave Beijing resolutely in order to avoid him and her relatives did not want her.

  As long as she is still in the capital, even if she does not marry Shen Jin, she will meet Pei You in the future.

   But this time she is not so naive anymore.

  As long as she keeps her mouth shut and prevents Pei You from discovering that she is the "Xiaoya" back then, how can he become paranoid and insist on her?

  Thinking about it this way, Wen Ning's heart brightened.

   Back then, she followed her two elder brothers out of the mansion to play. At the beginning, she didn't dare to act alone. The more times she did, the more courageous she became, and her brothers thought it was troublesome to take her with them. Every time they left the mansion, they split into two groups.

   Therefore, as long as she doesn't tell about her past with Pei You, no one will know.

As for Pei You, she was only nine years old when she met him back then, and her face was often covered with mud, which was far from her current appearance. As long as she didn't say anything, he probably wouldn't have guessed that the dirty child back then would be the Wen Wen of today. miss home.

   Besides, she reunited with Pei You in the early autumn. This autumn, as long as she stays behind closed doors and waits for the person in the Golden Luan Hall to kiss Pei You, everything will be fine.

  Wen Ning finished a serving of fermented rice balls, feeling happier than before.

  When Linglan came back, she heard her girl humming a little tune, and she was writing while humming.

  Since the master invited a famous teacher to teach the girl official etiquette, and then took the girl to read some women's virtues and precepts, it has been a long time since she hummed a ditty.

  Linglan leaned over to take a look, and said in surprise: "Girl, Alan found out that you fell ill once, and your handwriting looks better than before."

  Wen Ning has been gentle since she was a child, and since she knew the meaning of the word "servant", she only let Linglan call herself "Alan".

  Wen Ning kept moving her hands, only raised her eyebrows slightly.

  Pei You banned her for those years, and she couldn't leave the house at all. She could only write and read to pass the time every day. Naturally, she wrote better than fifteen-year-old Wen Ning.

   "Girl, tomorrow we go to Ci'en Temple, do we need to call for a young master to accompany us?" Linglan asked.

  Wen Ning subconsciously wanted to refuse.

  The two sons of the Wen family, the eldest son Wen Lan is obsessed with medicine. Although he has an errand to join the army in Jingzhao Mansion, he wants to resign from time to time and join the rivers and lakes to help the world. As for the second son, Wen Qi, he was addicted to wine, and Wen Tingchun found him a position in the Ministry of War, but he only wanted to mix in the market and start the wine business.

   To put it bluntly, the two elder brothers are not very reliable, otherwise they wouldn't have taken her and a girl to drill a dog hole when they were young.

   But thinking about what happened with the Shen family today, Shen Jin might find a way to find her in the near future.

   "Go and tell your elder brother, he happens to be taking a bath tomorrow, so let him go out with me."

   Ling Lan Fu said yes, and turned to Wen Lan's yard.

  —

   With a calculation in her heart, Wen Ning unexpectedly had no dreams all night, and had a rare good sleep since her rebirth.

  Get up early to do makeup in the mirror, and for the first time carefully look at yourself in the mirror.

   As expected of a fifteen-year-old, her cheeks are plump and her eyes are moist. Even without makeup, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright and charming.

  But Wen Ning still asked Linglan to put makeup on her.

Linglan was overjoyed when she saw her expression, her hands were busy and her mouth was not idle: "Girl, the news is spreading so fast now, you just told the Shen family about the engagement yesterday, it was a childhood joke, it's too much to count , a matchmaker came to the door early this morning!"

Wen Ning didn't make a sound, Linglan said again: "I just said that with our girl's appearance and color, if the marriage contract with the second son of the Shen family hadn't been spread, the threshold would have been broken! When I go out later, I will talk to Liu Guanshi Tell him to change to a solid threshold stone!"

Wen Ning was amused by her, and Linglan went on to boast: "Look, your smile can outshine the peonies outside! If you smile like this outside this trip, you will get ten threshold stones in exchange for your house." I'm afraid it won't be enough!"

  Wen Ning smiled and looked at her: "You mouth, if you still say this outside, I'm afraid it will make people laugh."

   "Who dares to laugh at my sister?"

  Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, and then a scent of medicine wafted in, and everyone in the room knew that it was the eldest son Wen Lan who had arrived.

  Wen Ning stood up and blessed her body: "Brother."

"Tsk." Wen Lan took a rest today, dressed more casually, and waved a paper fan to look at Wen Ning with distaste, "I've been with Mr. for so long, I haven't seen any progress, and I've learned some useless red tape. I'm still your big brother." What are you doing so unfamiliar?"

  Wen Lan has always been unruly. If he hadn't taken the title of eldest son and carried the expectations of the Wen family, he would have traveled around the rivers and lakes long ago. He has never been very satisfied with Wen Tingchun's discipline of Wen Ning.

   "Brother, follow orders." Wen Ning said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite to you, will you drive the horse for me today?"

  It was originally a joke, but Wen Lan actually sent the coachman away and drove the horse herself. With a straw in her mouth, she sang a ditty in front of her.

  There is no shortage of young masters in Beijing, but where have you ever seen a young master who drives a horse by himself with a straw in his mouth?

  Linglan opened the car window to take a look from time to time, and then exclaimed: "Young master... I don't know how many noble ladies in Beijing will be fascinated!"

  Wen Ning shook her head with a low smile. The eldest brother is still the same, in terms of chic, no one in Beijing can match.

  Wen Lan sang a ditty all the way without rushing, and stopped from time to time to look at the beautiful scenery outside Beijing. It was almost noon when he arrived at Ci'en Temple.

  Wen Ning took Linglan straight to the main hall, burned incense devoutly, thanked her sincerely, and made three wishes for herself.

   When going out from the main hall, Wen Lan glanced at the empty sun, and suggested: "It's rare to come here, why don't you go after eating the fast meal here?"

   "The vegetarian meal in Ci'en Temple always needs to be reserved, so Alan will go and ask." Linglan Fushen.

   "I'll go with you." Wen Lan turned around.

   Before Wen Ning could speak, Wen Lan was already dragging Linglan to walk quickly, and when he looked up again, he saw a handsome figure walking up the steps.

  Wen Ning knew that she would run into Shen Jin today.

  The Wen family and the Shen family are good friends, so Wen Lan, Wen Qi and Shen Jin are naturally also acquainted. When Linglan asked her yesterday if she wanted to invite a young master to accompany her, she thought that Shen Jin might take this opportunity to meet her.

   We will see each other sooner or later, it is better to be prepared than to be surprised.

  But at this time, she looked at Shen Jin, who was coming step by step in a clear outfit under the sun, and her eyes were still red.

   After all, he is the one who has delivered his sincerity and worshiped heaven and earth. After Shen Jin left in her previous life, she looked forward to it day and night, hoping to see his figure again someday, but she didn't expect the news of his death in the end.

  After that, for a long time, she cried when she thought of Shen Jin, and even wondered if she was really a disaster, Kefu. Otherwise, why did A Niang give birth to her two elder brothers smoothly, but gave birth to her but only looked at her before dying? Why did Shen Jin fight well in the past, and he died in the battle just after she passed the door?

  At that time, she never thought that one day, she would be able to see Shen Jin again in the bright world.
