Jingwan's granduncle, Luo Peisong. Although he wasn't a professor at Kaiming Academy and didn't stay there for long, he still had a small courtyard in Kaiming Academy. It was really small, with only three rooms. The rest of the space was about the same size as his room. …
The three rooms, one for study, one for receiving guests, and one for sleeping. Of course, the bedroom was divided into the inner and outer rooms. The outer rooms were for the people who took care of him. Usually, they were disciples or servants sent by disciples. In short, there was no need to worry about him lacking people. For example, the person leading Jingwan and the others was Luo Peisong's last disciple. He was taken in three years ago and had been by Luo Peisong's side for three years. He also came from a family with hundreds of years of history. Although his family didn't have a high ranking official like Luo Peishan, but overall, they were much stronger than the Luo family. After all, the Luo family could only be considered as a branch of Luo Peishan.
Because he was the youngest son in the family, he didn't have to worry about his parents not having anyone to be filial to. On the other hand, he didn't feel any urgency to continue the family line. His family requested it, and he agreed, so he stayed by Luo Peisong's side. Speaking of which, Jing Wan did not know that Li Hongyuan actually knew this person. He was one of the mainstays of the imperial court when Li Hongyuan was in power in his previous life. Because of Li Hongyuan himself, he preferred to use young talents. Therefore, the imperial court tended to be younger, unlike the current aging trend.
Li Hongyuan was a tyrant, but he was impeccable when it came to governing. Moreover, he didn't stick to one type of talent. As long as he took a liking to someone's talent, not to mention jumping three levels, he could even let you reach the heavens in a single step. One day, you might be living in poverty, the next day, you might be an extremely powerful official, holding the power of life and death. Of course, this was only an exception. Even so, it was still an opportunity for young people. Many people had great ambitions and lofty aspirations.
This person was now a High Scholar, and had made a name for himself when he was young. However, he gradually fell into silence, until two years later, when he participated in the Imperial Examinations with the Luo brothers. Not only was he a High Scholar in the Imperial Examinations, he was also the Top Scholar in the Imperial Examinations. For a period of time, he was in the limelight. Furthermore, because he didn't have a wife, and didn't even have a fiancée, he was chased by countless high ranking officials and nobles, all of whom wanted him as their son-in-law. His surname was Jiang, and his given name was Wanli. This name was rather simple and crude.
Jingwan jokingly asked him if his elder brother was still a hundred miles away. In the end, he said that he was more than that. One, two, three, all of them were accounted for. Jingwan wanted to ask if his parents had a grudge against the first few children. After all, they were from a big family, a family of literature and etiquette. Do you need to put more effort into naming things? Moreover, the later ones were thousands of miles, while the earlier ones were one to three miles. Just because they were born early, they deserved to be "unlucky"?
Jingwan asked about her granduncle's situation. After all, only the two elders of the Luo family knew about his situation, and they probably only spoke a few words.
He was not a young man anymore. How could she not worry about him when he was away all year round?
Moreover, Jingwan could count the number of times she had seen him. However, to some extent, their relationship at that time was actually much better than that of her biological grandfather, Luo Peishan. At that time, Luo Peishan's mind was elsewhere and he did not seem to be easy to get close to. This granduncle was different. Perhaps it was because he did not have his own descendants, but he treated his elder brother's descendants well. As for Jingwan, because of her relationship with Madame Luo, he loved her as well as her crow.
When Madame Luo first got married, Luo Peisong was in the "rebellious period". Perhaps it was because his elder brother took care of him, but he was the kind of person who matured late. It was a headache for his parents, so they directly threw him to their eldest son who was very responsible. At that time, Luo Peishan had just taken office and did not have the time to take care of him. Therefore, this rebellious son could become a famous scholar in the world today. Luo Peisong was afraid of his eldest sister-in-law, but he also admired her. Jingwan spent more time with Madame Luo, so he could not see her every time when he came back.
Perhaps because Jingwan was just concerned about her elders, Li Hongyuan did not "go crazy".
When Jingwan saw Luo Peisong, he was playing chess with a doctor from the Academy.
They had not seen each other for several years, but he had not changed much. He was in good spirits and his eyes were not cloudy. Perhaps it was because he was away all year round, but he was also darker than ordinary old men.
Although the courtyard was small, it was well decorated. It could be seen that it was taken care of carefully on weekdays. It was not neglected because of the owner's absence.
As the saying goes, don't speak while watching a chess game. Before the game ended, no one spoke.
Jingwan was not proficient in chess, but she could see that her granduncle was at a disadvantage. However, looking at the carefree look on the old man's face, he did not care at all.
Luo Peishan stroked his beard and raised his head to look at Jing Wan. "Little girl, you've already grown so big. Time really doesn't spare anyone."
"I see that granduncle is still the same as before. He is in good health." Jingwan said with a smile.
"You little girl, your mouth is still so sweet." Luo Peishan nodded slightly, with a hint of indulgence, but also a little helplessness.
Not only Jiang Wanli, but also the doctor opposite him was a little surprised. They knew that although Luo Peisong was not difficult to get along with, he was not easy to get close to. He also had some little quirks. It was rare to see him smile all day long. He was completely different from the old fox Luo Peishan who mingled in the officialdom. They did not think that there was such a side to him.
"You are already married. You are not a little girl." Jingwan was still smiling.
"Don't say that you are married. Even if you gave birth to a child, in this old man's eyes, you are still a little girl. — Come, come, come. Help granduncle see if this game can be saved. "
"Granduncle, you are making things difficult for me. My chess skills are absolutely average, but …" Jingwan pushed Li Hongyuan out, "Look for your grandniece's son-in-law."
Luo Peisong seemed to have just noticed that there was such a big living person. His eyes wandered around Li Hongyuan's face before he slowly got up. The old doctor opposite him also got up.
"This commoner greets Jin Wangye."
How could Li Hongyuan not understand? This was clearly showing that he did not want to see him. This was quite normal. For those who knew his bad reputation but did not know anything else, as long as they sincerely treated Jingwan well, there probably would not be two who would want to see him. If they really wanted to see him, then he would really be unhappy. Therefore, there was no joy or anger on his face as he indifferently returned the greeting, "Old Sir is too polite."
Luo Peisong's heart flashed with astonishment. This seemed to be different from what he had expected. Jingwan was the younger generation that he liked. When she got married, although he could not rush back, it was still very easy for him to understand this grandniece's son-in-law. After all, he had so many disciples and grand disciples, it was still very easy to inquire about them. But the result that he got was simply terrible. Because of this, he even sent a letter to his elder brother, scolding the elder brother that he had always respected. However, his elder brother's reply was ambiguous and the words were not clear. He felt that there was something strange from it. Then he thought about how much his eldest sister-in-law treasured this girl. Perhaps the matter was not so bad. But, after all, it was His Majesty's imperial edict. Even if he did not agree, it was impossible. Therefore, he temporarily reserved his attitude. Now it seemed that the former was more likely.
Luo Peisong stroked his beard, "This girl has never talked big. Since she recommended you, she must have some skills. If you win this game, the rest will be easy to talk about. If you lose this game …" If he lost, then it was hard to say what would happen.
Li Hongyuan glanced at Jingwan. Jingwan looked back at him with a smile. Do your best! Li Hongyuan faintly raised his eyebrows. Did his wife mean that there was no need to be polite? Since it was his wife's instruction, then sorry, don't blame him for not being lenient. Li Hongyuan did not sit on Luo Peisong's seat. He just picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.
The professor on the other side did not have any objections. He placed his chess piece very quickly, looking very confident.
The others became bystanders. In the beginning, the white chess piece was still at a disadvantage. However, when Li Hongyuan placed a chess piece, the game was suddenly reversed. Almost everyone looked at Li Hongyuan in disbelief. This person had actually started to set up a trap from the moment he placed his first piece. Not only that, he even led his opponent into the trap step by step without realizing it. This was not just taking one step and looking three steps ahead. It was simply taking one step and looking ten steps ahead. It was so exquisite.
When they looked at Li Hongyuan again, it was a bit like looking at a monster.
The old professor seemed unwilling to give up and continued. Li Hongyuan did not hold back. He completely did not know what it meant to respect the old and love the young. He killed the old professor without leaving a single piece of armor behind.
The consequences of his last struggle seemed to have become a little worse.
The old professor stared at the chessboard for a moment before slowly opening his mouth, "Young people nowadays are really amazing. Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first. "
He did not know if he was angry or if he had been hit too hard. He did not wait for Luo Peisong and the others to respond. He stood up and left.
Jingwan secretly pinched Li Hongyuan. Humble, humble. Does he know what humility is?
Li Hongyuan did not bat an eyelid, as if he did not feel the pain at all. He only gave Jingwan a rather innocent look when no one was looking.
Jingwan inexplicably understood his meaning. She was so angry that her teeth itched and she wanted to bite him viciously.
Only then did Luo Peisong retract his attention from the chessboard and look at Li Hongyuan seriously. "I have to say that this commoner has a whole new level of respect for Your Highness. However, it is better to leave a way out. Not only do you leave a way out for others, you also leave a way out for yourself. After all, this way out is the escape route of others, and it could also be your escape route."
"Just now, I benefited from Old Teacher's teachings. You said it first, so this prince did not dare to lose. Therefore, this prince did his best." Li Hongyuan said 'humbly'.
The corner of Luo Peisong's mouth twitched. So, he did it on purpose just now? Just because I have a problem with him? Such vengeance for the smallest grievance was truly the style of the living King of Hell. Moreover, should I thank him for using such a gentle method, and not as simple and crude as he did in the capital?
"Lass, this man is too handsome. No matter how you look at him, he is not reliable. Moreover, this man is vicious and treacherous. He does things without leaving any leeway. So, don't foolishly believe everything he says. Otherwise, you will only be fooled by him without knowing it." Luo Peisong said 'sincerely and earnestly' to Jingwan.
Li Hongyuan's face instantly darkened. For the sake of Wanwan and her family, as long as they were sincere about her, he could reluctantly tolerate them. However, if they tried to sow discord between them, he would immediately classify them as "rivals in love" and get rid of them quickly. He would destroy them in seconds.
Jingwan looked at him and knew that he seemed to have been stepped on again. She hurriedly pulled him and stood in front of him. In the end, Granduncle was also an old man. How could he bear the anger of the living King of Hell? "Granduncle, you are wrong. I don't know whether Ah Yuan is reliable or not to others, but to me, he is absolutely reliable. He is an indomitable man. Even if he wants to play tricks on me, there is no malice. He will never target me with his vicious methods. This has nothing to do with whether he is handsome or not. Moreover, no matter how handsome he is, he is still benefiting me. Therefore, you can say anything about him, but you can't sow discord between us."
Luo Peisong's gaze landed on Jingwan, then on Li Hongyuan, whose face was overflowing with spring. He repeated this a few times. Well, even if he had never experienced love, he could tell that the two of them were as good as the same person. This man, who was said to be a playboy and lustful, had placed this girl at the top of his heart. He was afraid that she would fall when he held her in his hands, and afraid that she would melt when he held her in his mouth. He did everything as he pleased, but when it came to this girl, if he said anything wrong, he would definitely lose his face.
Looking at Wan girl's posture, if he made a mistake, she was the kind of person who would make a move at any time.
Well, he worried for nothing. It was his elder brother's reply. Everything else was not clear, but this point made him feel at ease.
"Okay, okay. In broad daylight, you are pulling and pulling. What a scandal. You are deliberately trying to provoke this lonely old man, right?"
Jingwan coughed dryly. Only then did she notice that rather than saying that she was blocking someone, it was better to say that someone took the opportunity to take her into his arms. She took a step forward and broke away. "Look at what Granduncle said. It is you who is not willing to marry. If you were willing, even now, that teenage girl would be happy to throw herself into your arms. If you want me to say, as long as you agree, maybe tomorrow I will have a granduncle who is younger than me. Don't you think so? "
"You lass, after getting married, you really don't know how to write the word 'reserved' anymore. You even dare to tease your own granduncle. Is there anyone who talks like you? Do you think I am old enough to harm teenage girls? If I wanted to marry a wife, I would have done so decades ago. Back then, your granduncle was also handsome and elegant. The number of girls who liked me could line up from the north gate to the south gate of the city. I didn't have such thoughts at all. I didn't have such thoughts in the past, and I definitely won't now. You can forget about this mouth of yours in front of your own family, but you should restrain yourself outside. "
"Yes, yes, yes. Granduncle is the most handsome. You were handsome when you were young, and you are still handsome when you are old."
"You lass, is this the main point?" Then he looked at Li Hongyuan, whose face was dark, and his mood suddenly became quite good. This man was like a child who could not tolerate his wife saying the word "good" about any man other than him, even if it was just a joke or a compliment. How much did he care about her to have such a possessive desire? This kind of man was rare in the world. "Let's not talk about this. I haven't seen your grandfather and grandmother for a long time. How are they?"
"Granduncle, you don't have to worry. Grandfather and grandmother are very good. I don't know if grandfather told you that eldest brother and sister-in-law have a eldest son, third brother and third sister-in-law have an eldest daughter, second brother's marriage is also settled, and all the sisters who are married are having happy events one after another. Except for a few things that don't go well, there are no other problems."
"That's good, that's good. By the way, I have a teaching book on fine brushwork in my hand … "
In front of outsiders, Jingwan could actually be righteous, but in front of trusted relatives, Jingwan always felt a little guilty.
"… Your grandfather told me that you have been 'advising' your third brother a lot. It is the Luo family's fortune to have a daughter like you."
Those who didn't know would just think that Jingwan put a lot of effort into the book like Luo Jingbo. After all, this idea was not hidden from outsiders, but those who knew would naturally understand that it was far more than that. "I am the daughter of the Luo family, and the Luo family treats me well. Not only am I an elder brother, but I should do something for the Luo family."
"You are a good child. Your grandmother has always said so, and in fact, it is true. Back then, if your grandmother allowed me to take you to travel the world, there would be no one else around me. "Luo Peisong said with emotion.
Jingwan was surprised. "There is such a thing?" She had never heard her grandmother mention it.
"How could there not be? Your grandmother directly gave me a fierce beating. She was so ruthless that it was comparable to the time when she forced me to straighten my back. Your grandmother said that I was not serious at all, and that I was a bad influence on her darling. She had to break my legs, throw me out of the Luo family, and never let me take half a step back in the house. "
Perhaps it was because he thought of the taste of pleasure, Luo Peisong's body couldn't help but tremble a little.
Jingwan was overjoyed, and she almost choked from laughing. Li Hongyuan helplessly patted her back.
"Granduncle, you can't take me away. If you choose one of my brothers, grandfather and grandmother will definitely be happy."
"What do I need them for? They are all blockheads, and they don't have the slightest bit of spirit. It is simply a disgrace to bring such people out. Besides, how can a stinky brat be as considerate as a little girl? " Then, Luo Peisong began to criticize all the disciples he had taught. In short, in his eyes, there was not a single good person.
As for Jiang Wanli, who had been respectfully standing by the side, Jingwan felt that he had a "dumbfounded" expression on his face since the beginning. He probably didn't expect his teacher to be such a teacher. He was a little disillusioned, and even a little on the verge of collapse. And when he talked about all kinds of things that didn't go his way, he felt guilty. It was all because he didn't do well that he wronged his teacher.
And in Jingwan's view, this was purely Granduncle showing off. Several of his brothers could be called blockheads by him, and his disciples were not few in number. If this wasn't showing off, what was it?
After saying these, they talked about Li Hongyuan's task in Jiangnan. Like the older people, Luo Peisong only knew about the Academy examination for the time being. But this matter seemed to have stepped on his reverse scale. He was especially resentful, and his face was livid. "… If you need my help, just tell me. I still have some connections in the scholarly community."
"This prince thanks Old Mister in advance. But this time, it's better for people not to interfere. On the surface, it's cheating in the Academy examination, but secretly it's also related to the salt policy. The amount is too large, and the water is too deep. There are many dangers, so Old Mister shouldn't get involved. Moreover, this prince has enough ideas."
Luo Peisong was shocked. He looked at Li Hongyuan, and his eyes became more subtle. "Your Highness trusts this commoner."
"You are the granduncle of this prince's wife. This prince can give enough trust to people close to her."
"Your Highness is so confident that he's conceited." He looked at his disciple meaningfully. Of course, it's not that he didn't trust his disciple, but he felt that Li Hongyuan shouldn't trust people easily. "Since you know there's danger, why are you still bringing this girl?"
"Wan Wan's safest place is always by my side."
----- Digression —
