Chapter 374 Performing Arts

Xue Zhengdao: "In any case, the two of you are showing off the limelight tonight, and you will be the first one in our batch of jinshi in the future, needless to say Yuanliang, and Hongyu is most likely to be elected by the Ministry of Rites. If you want to stay in the capital, I will congratulate you first."

   Feng Hongyu responded humbly.

   Qi Zixi and Wen Yuanhong looked at each other and said, "We also have to stay in the capital!"

  If they want to stay in the capital, they have to go through an exam. The Ministry of Rites will consider their situation comprehensively, so they can’t relax and continue to read.

   Xue Zheng paused and said, "I think so too, everyone should work hard to stay together."

Wen Yuanliang didn't need to take the exam. Wen Yuanliang saw everyone's enthusiasm and said with a smile: "This is not bad, it will be an eventful autumn, and studying behind closed doors is the best choice. By the way, before that, I still have to give it to my hometown. Good news from my parents and folks.”

  Thinking of those people in their hometown, everyone's expressions softened a bit and nodded.

   It was late at night when Wen Yuanliang returned to Wen's house in Liu'an Lane.

  The doorman excitedly opened the door for him, and a series of festive words came out as if he didn't want money.

  Wen Yuanhao asked with a smile, "Did the eldest young lady give you money today?"

   "I gave it, the young lady is very generous, and all the servants gave five taels of silver." The concierge said happily, five taels of silver was equivalent to two and a half years of his monthly silver.

  Wen Yuanliang nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "Is there any outsider coming over from the house today?"

The concierge nodded immediately, "A lot of people came, some came to deliver greeting cards, some sent congratulations, and some came to the door in person to ask for a meeting. The young lady only met acquaintances, and some well-known scholars also invited in for a drink. Tea, as for those He Yi, the eldest and young ladies who can accept them have accepted them, and those who cannot accept them have all declined, and all the invitations have been kept."

   Wen Yuan's conscience was relieved, and he knew that Zhuo Qianyu was reliable, so he went back to the yard after explaining two sentences.

   Before the lights in the bedroom were turned off, Wen Yuanliang pushed open the door and went in. The person on the bed immediately sat up, "Is the Qionglin Banquet over?"

   "It's over, my lady has worked hard." Wen Yuanliang sat down beside the bed and gently pushed Zhuo Qianyu's hair behind his ear.

   Zhuo Qianyu smiled sweetly. Thinking of today's invitations, he said with some grievance: "Xianggong, you are now the champion, and many ladies in the capital are trying to make your mind up!"

Wen Yuanliang was stunned for a moment, wondering why the topic had turned so quickly, worried that Zhuo Qianyu was in a bad mood while pregnant, and asked cautiously: "But who said what made you unhappy? I swear for my husband and my wife. , I won't take a second look at those women outside, it's enough for me to have a wife!"

   Zhuo Qianyu was in a good mood when he saw that he was so serious, so he threw himself into Wen Yuanliang's arms, and found a comfortable position to lie down.

Wen Yuanliang stroked her blue silk and pondered: "Tomorrow I will send a message to Qing'an County. Look, besides my father-in-law and my husband, who else needs me to visit in person, all are listed. I am here. Let’s walk through these relationships in the past two days, and then we will close the door and have a good rest for a while.”

   Zhuo Qianyu's pupils shrank, and he asked worriedly, "But something happened?"

  Wen Yuanliang didn't hide it from her, and would tell her what happened, what Lao Zhu said, and what happened tonight.

Zhuo Qianyu's heart trembled when he heard it, and he got up immediately and said, "That's the case, after sending the letter, husband will go to my parents' house and my uncle's place for a walk, and then I will reply to those people I know well, and invite them tomorrow. Go to the restaurant for a feast in the evening, and by the way, call the second uncle and the others. After tomorrow, we will stay behind closed doors and wait for the court's election officials to come down. Then the husband will have a family visit. to go home.”

Wen Yuanliang's eyes lit up and said angrily, "I forgot that I still have family leave, but Dizhou is far away from the capital, and you are pregnant, so you shouldn't travel long distances, even if you are approved for this family leave, you won't be able to go back with me. "

   Thinking of this, Wen Yuanliang felt a little lost.

   Zhuo Qianyu shook his head, and instead comforted: "My younger siblings and I can't go back, just you and the second uncle and the others go back together. If you can, bring your parents and children over and reunite with us."

  Wen Yuanliang hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Early the next morning, he sent the letter first, and immediately went to Zhuo's house with a heavy gift. He was warmly received by Zhuo's house. After leaving Zhuo's house, he immediately went to Zhuo Bufan's side, but was kept by Lin's family for a meal. Let him go after dinner.

   After returning, he posted another post to the family designated by Zhuo Qianyu and invited them to the Juxian Building for a chat.

  It was night, Suzaku Street was dimly lit, full of traffic, and the road was full of BMW carved cars.

   In the Juxian Building, literati, gentlemen, wealthy, wealthy, officials and gentlemen gathered together, and even some noble ladies and ladies dressed in extravagance can be seen.

   When Wen Yuanliang arrived at the wing room, Qi Zixi and a few people had already arrived, and there were still many unfamiliar faces inside. It had already been two quarters of an hour before he greeted each other.

   As everyone was talking, there was a sudden commotion outside, "Look, the number one beauty in the capital actually went up to play the piano. What luck is it today? You can come across such a rare scene, don't miss it!"

   Qi Zixi asked suspiciously, "The number one beauty in the capital?"

  The other person immediately explained: "The number one beauty in the capital is the young lady of the Bai family, called Bai Pingting, she looks stunning! A few adults will know when they meet."

   said that the man was still looking forward to it.

   Everyone was curious to see him, only Wen Yuanliang thought of the promise he made to Zhuo Qianyu last night, and said slowly: "Even if she looks good, it's not as good-looking as my wife!"

   "You haven't even seen Duke Zhuangyuan yet, how do you know that your wife is not as good-looking as yours?" someone else asked curiously.

  Wen Yuanliang replied as a matter of course: "Even if there are thousands of colors in the world, it is not as special as the one at home."

   Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all laughed and sighed: "Master Zhuang Yuan is really a rare infatuation! Come on, I will toast you."

  Bai Pingting, who was fully prepared downstairs, asked Lilac next to him, "Can I reach Zhuangyuan Wen about my performance on stage?"

  Lilac nodded fiercely, "Don't worry, Miss, she specially asked someone to tell it outside their wing, and also asked the little Er who served the dishes to also mention it carefully, there must be no problem."

Bai Pingting was relieved. If it wasn't for Wen Yuanliang's attention, she would never have performed in such a place. Although Juxianlou is a gathering place for talents and beauties, performing in such a place is an elegant thing. , but she still felt humiliated.

   Putting aside those complicated thoughts, Bai Pingting, who came to the stage, bowed dignifiedly, enjoying the praise and amazement that came from all around her. She reservedly did not look in the direction where Wen Yuanliang and the others were, and concentrated on plucking the strings.
