Why marry someone when you are reborn?

After dinner, Wang Cong put down his chopsticks. Seeing Xu Yun and Lu An also put down their chopsticks, he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I also watched Gao Xu grow up."

Xu Yun and Lu An were lucky not to drink the soup.

Otherwise, I would really spit out the soup.

But on second thought, there is actually nothing wrong with what Wang Cong said - Wang Cong is thirty, Gao Xu is twenty... so he can indeed watch Gao Xu grow up.

It’s just that Wang Cong looks quite young.

It always feels awkward to say this.

Wang Cong smiled, not knowing whether he was satisfied with the effect of his words, and continued: "Actually, Gao Xu is a good person. He deserves the title of a gentleman like jade. Whether in terms of education or talent, he has always been the most outstanding among his peers."

Xu Yun and Lu An listened, feeling a little confused: Wang Cong waited for so long, could it be that he just wanted to praise Gao Xu?

Wang Cong had no intention of stopping: "He is good-looking, comes from an upper-class family, and is also exceptionally outstanding. If you were him, you might not be much more humble than him."

"It's not surprising that he didn't consider Xu Tanhua's situation when doing this. He probably never thought about such a thing, and he didn't understand what trouble this would bring you." Wang Cong smiled.

There is a bit of indulgence in the smile.

Only after hearing this did Xu Yun finally understand: Was this meant to comfort the two of them?

So, Xu Yun smiled and said, "I'm not angry. It was just what others said. It doesn't affect anything."

If you say they are not getting along, then then they are not getting along.

Wang Cong was relieved now: "It's good that you think this way, Xu Tanhua."

Xu Yun laughed: "Wang Bangyan really treats him as a junior."

Wang Cong still smiled: "We are old friends and from the same class. I am the oldest, so I am just shamelessly acting like an elder brother."

Lu An smiled and praised: "Wang Bangyan's brothers and sisters are really blessed."

Where can I find such a good brother?

Wang Cong's smile faded a little. He sighed, "My three younger brothers are all dead. None of them got married at that time."

Too many people always die in war.

Lu An knew that he had said the wrong thing and touched upon Wang Cong's sad memory. He was filled with apologetic feelings and kept saying sorry.

"It's all in the past." Wang Cong waved his hand: "Even I originally joined the army. However, I still wanted to be a civil servant. That's why I resigned from my position and came to take the imperial examination."

Joining the army in troubled times was a last resort.

After Wang Cong finished speaking, he didn't care what kind of shock he brought. He turned around and asked Xu Yun: "What does Xu Tanhua think? If so, there is no need to give in. I can also help to intercede."

This is to ask Xu Yun whether he wants to fight for it or not.

After all, this idea was proposed by Xu Yun. It seemed that it was most appropriate and reasonable to let Xu Yun do it.

Xu Yun smiled and shook his head at Wang Cong's words: "I really think that it's the same for everyone. As long as things can be done well, it's a good thing for the people and the country to benefit."

After all, she is also a Chinese citizen.

China is doing well and becoming increasingly stable and powerful, which is also a good thing for their family.

Wang Cong looked at Xu Yun and praised loudly: "Good! Very good! Xu Tanhua's words are really admirable! If everyone has Xu Tanhua's broad mind, why worry about the safety of our country?"

This exaggerated and sincere expression and tone made Xu Yun blush.

Then he quickly pulled him and the stunned Lu An out of the cafeteria.

After all, many people have seen it.

If you don’t leave now, I don’t know what kind of rumors will spread this afternoon!

I don’t know if it was the effect of those words, but Wang Cong’s attitude towards Xu Yun became more friendly from then on. As soon as he saw Xu Yun, he smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Looking at the situation, one almost suspected that Wang Cong was also going to say to others: A Yun is like my sister.

After finally getting to the end of the shift, Xu Yun immediately grabbed Lu An and ran away.

Wang Cong looked at the two people walking very fast, smiled knowingly, and then turned to look at Gao Xu: "Mr. Gao, I have something to talk to you about. Why don't we talk while we walk?"

Gao Xu naturally agreed.

The others went home.

When Xu Yun came out this time, the first thing she did was look left and right - Luo Zhan's words yesterday always made her feel a little sad.

Very scary.

However, Luo Zhan is really not here today.

Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then he and Lu An got on the carriage with peace of mind, and then suddenly remembered - Oh, Luo Zhan said in the morning that he would lend him the carriage. That should mean that he would stay in the military camp today and not come back.

Afterwards, Xu Yun asked Chen Ku to wait for Zeng Wuji and Zhao Mu, and invite them over to talk.

Zeng Wuji came out alone again.

Zhao Mu...has to stay a little longer once again.

As soon as Zeng Wuji got on the carriage and saw Xu Yun's face, he sighed, "Ah Yun, you don't know, this is going viral outside. It's said that you and Gao Xu almost had a fight today! How could Gao Xu still fight with you!"

Xu Yun thought the rumors might be exaggerated.

But I never expected it to be so exaggerated.

Fight...

Shaking his head and laughing, Xu Yun asked Zeng Wuji: "Do you think this could be true?"

Zeng Wuji blinked and said firmly: "I don't think so!"

There is no way Xu Yun believed what he said.

However, Zeng Wuji believed it... It shows that this rumor is really powerful.

Xu Yun explained seriously: "Gao Xu is a nice person. He just wanted to know what I think."

Zeng Wuji muttered quietly: "You still want fame after getting an advantage——"

Xu Yun: ...Okay, Gao Xu can’t clear himself from the charges.

However, Zeng Wuji's views basically represent the views of children from poor families.

As for those who supported Gao Xu...Xu Yun was basically certain that his reputation might not be very good now.

All it took was a few words with Gao Xu to turn him from a successful third place in the imperial examination into a notorious one.

Xu Yun rubbed his chin a few times, feeling rather helpless.

I just hope the higher-ups can make a decision quickly.

Then assign jobs to these successful candidates!

This will reduce the time and effort spent on gossiping!

Xu Yun returned home speechless.

As soon as they entered the house, Hongyu took Xu Yun to see the horses: "Look, this is a mare!"

Then Xu Yun saw a skinny chestnut horse.

Maer looked at Xu Yun.

Xu Yun looked at the horse.

Didn't you say buy a mule?

And if you want to buy a horse, just buy a horse. Why buy one like this!

Xu Yun turned his head to look at Hongyu.

Hongyu stamped her feet and pouted, saying, "I can't persuade her! When my mother saw it, she couldn't walk anymore. I dragged her away by force, but she burst into tears and kept saying how pitiful she was. What can I do?"

Xu Yun thought about the scene and felt that even if he was there, he couldn't do anything.

Xie Wanqing has a kind heart, and that cannot be changed.

Xu Yun let out a long sigh: Life is full of troubles.

But then she let out a breath: "But, life is full of troubles. Just accept it."
