girl, you're wrong

Chapter 303 Tell the Truth

In the land of the Wang clan in Taiyuan, a group of scribes were sitting in the courtyard talking.Among them, the two people surrounded by stars and moons are the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang family, Wang Maohong, the current chief assistant of Taicheng, and Xie Anshi, the mainstay of the Fufeng Xie family.

Wang Maohong is nearly 37 years old, and Xie Anshi is [-] years old. There is a big gap between the two in age.However, it is said that Xie Anshi was deeply appreciated by Wang Maohong, who had just entered the official career, as early as his youth.

Later, Wang Maohong won the power of prime minister, so he enlisted Xie Anshi, and he is currently serving as "Zuo Zhuo Lang" in the Secretary's Ministry.

This is an ancient official title, known for its nobleness.It has only evolved into a springboard for entering the cabinet after successive reforms.To enter the cabinet, one must first go through the secretarial province, so people joked that the secretaries are "candidates for prime ministers", school clerks are "candidates for servants", and entering the secretarial province is "climbing the ladder".

Xie Anshi is the "candidate for prime minister", and his eldest son is now going to marry the youngest daughter of the chief minister. His official career ahead can be said to be on the ladder, so when everyone talks and talks, he is flattering and flattering, and he responds with a smile neither humble nor overbearing. .

"Look, isn't my uncle's elegant and gentle demeanor very similar to the prince's?" Xie Lingjiang murmured in the corridor far away, "No wonder the prince values ​​him so much."

"Valuing him politically doesn't mean you must betroth your daughter to him." Cheng Jinyang said lightly.

"But if they marry, it will undoubtedly be safer." Xie Lingjiang said worriedly.

"Find Wang Wanrou first." Cheng Jinyang remained expressionless.

Continue to move forward for a while, and meet many members of the Wang clan on the road.It's just that most of them looked up at Xie Lingjiang, the young miss of the Xie family, and then immediately lowered their heads and left in a hurry.

Xie Lingjiang said that the Wang and Xie families were relatives by marriage and they knew each other well, so there was no lie, and Cheng Jinyang, who was a little anxious, was secretly relieved.

After walking for about ten minutes, Xie Lingjiang was a little tired, sweating slightly on his neck, and said out of breath:

"It's just ahead, and we'll be there in half a minute's walk..."

Before the words were finished, someone blocked the way ahead and killed a person:

"Cheng Jinyang, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Cheng Jinyang turned pale with shock.Looking carefully, it turned out to be Wang Xinzhi, Wang Wanrou's older brother, holding a blue-gray fishing rod in his left hand and a small bag containing fish food in his right hand, with the words "Fine Fishing" printed on the icon.

"Did you just come back from fishing?" Cheng Jinyang asked with a sigh of relief.

"You are wrong, Jinyang." Wang Xinzhi smiled slightly, "I came here specially to intercept you."

"Brother Jinghe!" Xie Lingjiang also became a little anxious, and even started calling him by his first name, "You locked up Sister Wanrou, right? You are going to force her to marry someone she doesn't like!"

"Little Ling Jiang." Wang Xinzhi bent down and said to her kindly, "Which family name is my Wang family in Taiyuan, and what is my father's identity, why is it necessary to force your sister Wanrou to marry? It's Wanrou. She didn't object to it herself."

Cheng Jinyang: ? ? ?

"Understood?" Wang Xinzhi raised his head again, and said seriously to Cheng Jinyang, "You also have a fiancée, treat Yuan Zhi well, and stop pestering my sister."

Cheng Jinyang stared at him for a moment, then said with a smile:

"Brother Xin is serious. Who is Wanrou herself willing to marry? That is your Taiyuan Wang family's business. How can I, an outsider, talk about it at will? I am here this time just to hear the good news, and I am here to say congratulations to Wanrou. Just congratulations."

Wang Xinzhi was surprised when he heard this.Good guy, this cheek is thick enough!He went all the way from the gate of the clan to my sister's boudoir without changing his face, and said that he came to "Congratulations"...Wait, I can't refute and stop him when he uses this excuse. , like a villain.

"Okay." Wang Xinzhi nodded with a smile, "Then I'll let you go to see Wanrou, so that you can die."

With such a determined expression on his face, Cheng Jinyang became more and more uneasy, and he still pretended nothing had happened, and said with a smile:

"Brother Xin, please lead the way. Ling Jiang, let's go."

The three of them came to Wang Wanrou's residence, which was a small building with a unique style in the corner of the clan land, surrounded by gardens, bamboo forests and fish ponds, and the running water connected to the Qinhuai River outside.

The environment of this place is really nice.In normal times, Cheng Jinyang would have sighed that Miss Wang really is someone who enjoys it.

But at this time, he was not in the mood to complain at all. He followed Wang Xinzhi into the door and saw three rows of large vertical bookcases against the wall in the living room, as well as coffee tables, cushions, reclining chairs and green plants.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, Wang Xinzhi knocked on the door and said in a clear voice:

"Sister, it's me."

"Come in." Wang Wanrou's voice came from inside.There was nothing unusual in the tone, it didn't look like he was under house arrest.

So Wang Xinzhi pushed the door open, and then Cheng Jinyang and Xie Lingjiang saw Wang Wanrou lying on the bed by the window, holding the cushion and squinting her eyes, like a lazy cat basking in the sun.

Then she turned her head, narrowed her eyes when she saw the person coming, frowned and said:
"go out!"

Wang Xinzhi sighed, turned around and said to Cheng Jinyang:

"You heard it. My sister doesn't want to see you, so go away."

"Brother, I want you to go out." Wang Wanrou said again.

Wang Xinzhi:? ? ?

He turned around in disbelief, and pointed at himself in disbelief.

"Yes, Wang Xinzhi, Wang Jinghe." Wang Wanrou said again, "Give us a little space to talk, is it convenient?"

Wang Xinzhi left inexplicably, and closed the door behind him.

After a moment of silence in the room, Cheng Jinyang smiled and said:

"Wanrou, Ling Jiang said, has the Xie family proposed marriage to your father?"

"It's true." Wang Wanrou said lightly.

"Then you refused?" Cheng Jinyang asked.

"Why did you refuse?" Wang Wanrou asked him back.

"Why didn't you refuse?" Cheng Jinyang asked calmly, "You don't really like that Xie Chaodu, do you?"

"It's Xie Qiudu." Xie Lingjiang said.

"Whether you like it or not and whether you get married or not are two different things." Wang Wanrou said indifferently, "Who stipulates that if you don't like someone, you can't marry him?"

"That's Qingqing, not you." Cheng Jinyang was still smiling, "With your pride, you won't like a person without talent, let alone marry such an outsider."

"You think you understand me well?" Wang Wanrou sneered.

"Wanrou." Cheng Jinyang said with a smile, "From the beginning to the end, you didn't refute my words, you just asked back. Can I still not understand what you mean?"

"I'm just kidding you." Wang Wanrou stared into his eyes.

"In that case, just tell me: You are willing to marry that drunken dude Xie Qiutu, and I will leave immediately." Cheng Jinyang's smile remained unchanged.

"It's Xie Qiudu." Xie Lingjiang corrected again, "Don't always make mistakes."

"Okay." Wang Wanrou smiled slowly, but there was no warmth in her eyes, "Cheng Jinyang, you think you are smart, don't you?"

The surrounding room temperature also seemed to start to drop, Xie Lingjiang's face turned pale, and he quietly shrank behind Cheng Jinyang.

"Closer to vermilion is red, and close to ink is black." Cheng Jinyang said.

"Perfunctory."

"Why should I perfunctory you?"

"As you said just now, rhetorical questioning does not mean negation."

"It's an exquisite art of conversation, and I learned it from you, too."

"Carving a swan does not make it a kind of duck, and painting a tiger does not make it a kind of dog."

"Miss Wang's criticism, even if it's poisonous like poisonous wine, I'm willing to accept it."

"Lick the dog."

"If I really lick a dog, I can tear your clothes off with my tongue, do you believe it?"

"So I'll ask again, do you think you're smart?" Wang Wanrou became angry rarely, "Last chance, if you can't think of anything to say, get out!"

Her chest trembled slightly with her panting, her silver teeth were biting slightly, and her eyes were bloodshot with anger.Xie Lingjiang had already hid behind Cheng Jinyang, grabbing the hem of his clothes and shivering.

Cheng Jinyang stared at her dumbfounded, as if he hadn't expected her to have such an overreaction.

There was a thumping sound outside the door, probably because Wang Xinzhi downstairs heard the sound and ran up the stairs.

"Don't be angry." Cheng Jinyang smiled wryly, "I came to you because..."

"What is it?" Wang Wanrou looked at him coldly.

"I just don't want you to marry Xie Qiudu." Cheng Jinyang said frankly.

"Wanrou?" Wang Xinzhi knocked on the door outside.

"I'm fine, brother." Wang Wanrou said loudly.

Then her icy face suddenly loosened, facing the sunlight projected from the window sideways, showing a warm, perfect, and even a little smug smile again:

"Now I'm finally willing to tell the truth, huh?"
