"An Yina … This name doesn't belong to a woman from Dongqing at all. Is she from a different tribe?"
Feng Jin's expression changed, and an ominous premonition flashed in his heart.
Jiang Pengji raised her hand and pointed to the north. She smiled meaningfully.
Feng Jin understood, but he was not happy that he had guessed the other party's identity. Instead, his face turned pale.
"The decree of marriage has been issued. She's the fourth sister-in-law of His Highness … How dare Wuma Jun …"
Brother-in-law and sister-in-law are having an affair. Does Wuma Jun know what he's doing?
Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes contemptuously. "Wuma Jun is carrying forward the virtues passed down from his ancestors. Besides, An Yina has ill intentions after marrying into the royal family. She seduced Wuma Jun, and he has his own plans. Won't they be together? "
According to Wuma Jun's ambition, even if An Yina did not seduce him on purpose, would he be able to protect his belt?
Neither of them were good people.
Feng Jin hesitated and did not move forward. His heart was full of struggle. "This matter …"
Jiang Pengji said in a low voice, "Why are you so worried about the scandal of the royal family? Your father has retired from his official post and is waiting for the situation to change. Do you still want to risk your life for Dongqing? Even if you say that An Yina and Wuma Jun are having an affair, what evidence can you show? The marriage between the Northern borderline and Dongqing is already set in stone. Any obstacles in between will be eradicated … "
After listening to her, his expression kept changing. After a long time, he let out a long sigh.
"Forget it. This matter indeed has nothing to do with me …"
Feng Jin was very clear about Wuma Jun's ambition.
Feng Jin could more or less guess his purpose of seducing the princess of the Northern borderline, An Yina.
However, that person was only ambitious but had no brains. He did not see the big picture. That was what Feng Jin despised the most about Wuma Jun.
Getting in touch with the royal family of the Northern borderline through An Yina was tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin. He would be bitten to death.
Jiang Pengji tilted her head and looked at Feng Jin's side profile. She said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Let me tell you something that is related to you."
Feng Jin's heart skipped a beat. He asked her without changing his expression.
"What is it?"
Jiang Pengji said, "During the assessment just now, a scholar consumed Hanshi powder and took off all his clothes in front of everyone … Yes, you didn't hear wrongly. He stripped naked in front of all the scholars, my father, and the other deputy examiners. He even flirted with Master Yuanjing's disciple, Wei Zixiao."
Feng Jin was stunned. His eyes widened involuntarily.
"This, this … is simply absurd!"
Jiang Pengji told Feng Jin about it as a joke and teased him, "You should be glad that you didn't go for the assessment because of your arm injury. Otherwise, perhaps the one that that libertine has his eyes on would be your beauty, Feng Huaiyu … "
"…"
Why did he feel like his hands were itching to beat the brat in front of him?
Jiang Pengji burst into laughter. Her eyes were filled with a relaxed smile.
"Forget it. Since you're so honest, I'll stop teasing you."
Feng Jin's expression was stiff. He looked a little angry, but Jiang Pengji smiled from the bottom of her heart.
The two of them walked through the veranda and looked from afar. They seemed to be chatting and laughing.
When they were about to leave the garden, Jiang Pengji noticed a strange gaze. She subconsciously stopped smiling and looked at the source of the gaze.
In her line of sight, there was only a disappearing piece of cloth.
"Did you see someone you know?" Feng Jin asked her.
"Sort of, but he's very guarded against me. I don't know how I offended him." Jiang Pengji shook her head. If Wei Ci liked to avoid her, then so be it. She wanted to see how long he could keep his secret. "Huaiyu, how much do you know about Langya County?"
Feng Jin retracted his gaze and looked in the direction where Jiang Pengji was looking at. He didn't see anyone.
"Langya County? I forgot that you're going to Langya with Master Yuanjing to study. It's better to be prepared. You should do your homework and understand the situation of the aristocratic families in Langya. " Feng Jin smiled. He thought Jiang Pengji was worried about studying in the future. "Langya County is a place where military strategists fight for it. It's also a place full of spiritual energy and nurtures many outstanding talents. It's a place where aristocratic families gather."
Jiang Pengji nodded. She knew all that.
"I heard that there are many aristocratic families in Langya County. They're not to be trifled with …"
Hejian County was rich in beauties, while Langya County was rich in scholars and heroes.
Many famous scholars were basically from Langya. The two were completely different in Dongqing.
Feng Jin comforted Jiang Pengji. "They're indeed not to be trifled with. But as long as you know your place, no one will deliberately make things difficult for you for the sake of Liu County Chief. Moreover, when you enter Langya Academy, Master Yuanjing will protect you. What are you afraid of? "
As long as the friend beside her didn't make a fuss, she would definitely have a good life in Langya County.
Jiang Pengji asked again, "Then, have you heard of the Wei family of Langya?"
Feng Jin listened and frowned. He rummaged in his mind for a long time.
"The Wei family of Langya? I have some impression of it. If I remember correctly, the branch of the Wei family of Langya is a branch that branched off from the Wei family of Bianzhou not long after the founding of the Xia Dynasty. But this branch has been declining for a long time. It's getting worse with each generation. "
Bianzhou was located in Zhongzhao. The Wei family of Bianzhou was considered a first-class aristocratic family in Zhongzhao.
"Do you know the current situation of the Wei family of Langya?"
Jiang Pengji asked.
"I vaguely heard that the branch of the Wei family of Langya has returned to the Wei family of Bianzhou and returned to the main clan. Although it's said to be returning, it's actually just living under someone else's roof. But if they don't do that, they may completely fall from grace and become a commoner … "
The most important part of the assessment was "family background." It took up a lot of points. Commoner families could only be "inferior."
If they returned to the main clan, they could enjoy the shade under a big tree. After all, they were an ancestor.
Regardless of how they lived, at least they would be a well-known aristocratic family and not a commoner family.
Jiang Pengji frowned and said, "Huaiyu, do you mean that the Wei family of Langya has moved back to Zhongzhao?"
If that was the case, Wei Ci shouldn't be from the Wei family of Langya. Was it just a coincidence of the surname?
"It should be." Feng Jin shook his head and said with pity, "It's impossible for the branch to return to the main clan under normal circumstances. The Wei family of Langya made such a choice because they were at the end of their rope. They had no choice but to do so … Why is Lanting interested in this? "
She shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I'm just asking out of curiosity."
The two of them talked as they walked. When they returned to the banquet, they watched the singing and dancing for a while.
Jiang Pengji saw someone taking Hanshi powder in public not far away. His expression was one of enjoyment. She was startled and suddenly thought of something.
"Huaiyu, do you know when Hanshi powder became popular in Dongqing?"
