Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Hearing Gu Yanli's words, Gu Yanshu was a little surprised.

From Young Master Gu's memory, it is not difficult to find that although Gu Yanli is the younger generation with the best qualifications in Cheng Enhou's mansion in the past three generations,

But compared to learning, Gu Yanli prefers to practice martial arts.

Most of the good friends with Gu Yanli are those who are fond of martial arts.

In Young Master Gu's memory, Gu Yanli should be the most educated among his friends.

It was also because of this that when Gu Yanshu was thinking about candidates, he subconsciously ruled out the possibility of asking Gu Yanli for help.

Who knows that now Gu Yanli said that he has a friend who meets Gu Yanshu's requirements.

How could this not surprise Gu Yanshu?

Perhaps it was Gu Yanshu's surprised expression that made Gu Yanli misunderstand, thinking that Gu Yanshu was unwilling to use his friend:

"Of course, Brother Wei is just mentioning it casually. If you think it's inappropriate, then that's all."

"Brother hasn't told me who this friend you are talking about, so how do I know if it's suitable?"

Gu Yanshu couldn't help but laugh a little, maybe it was because of Young Master Gu's attitude before, Gu Yanli was always cautious in front of him:

"If it really meets the conditions I just said, it's too late for me to thank my brother."

Even though Gu Yanli knew that he was overthinking just now, he quickly suppressed the disappointment that had just arisen in his heart:

"The friend that brother just mentioned is Wen Qingxiao."

"Wen Qingxiao..."

Gu Yanshu chanted this name, this name, Gu Yanshu only thought it was quite familiar.

But after thinking for a while, Gu Yanshu still couldn't find any information about the owner of this name in his memory.

Just when Gu Yanshu couldn't figure it out, he heard Gu Yanli's addition:

"It's the sixth son of the Hanlin scholar family."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanshu immediately knew who Gu Yanli was talking about, and immediately blurted out:

"The Tanhua Lang from three years ago?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Gu Yan nodding his head:

"It's him, what does Yanshu think of this person? Does it meet your requirements?"

Hearing Gu Yanli's words, Gu Yanshu fell into silence slightly, and various information about this Sixth Young Master Wen emerged in his mind.

Wen Qingxiao, the Sixth Young Master Wen, can be said to be a man of influence in Yanjing City.

Even young master Gu, who walks around cats and dogs all day long and doesn't care about scholars at all, has heard of this Mr. Wen's name.

three years ago,

In Yanjing City, Wen Qingxiao can be said to be as famous as the third prince Qin Lu.

The third prince Qin Lu went into battle to kill the enemy and was invincible on the battlefield.

The sixth son of Wen Qingxiao, Wen Qingxiao, is well-educated and brilliant in the school.

Like Qin Lu in the past, Wen Qingxiao was also praised by everyone in the capital.

According to legend, Wen Qingxiao wrote poems at the age of three and wrote essays at the age of five.

In the minds of many literati, Wen Qingxiao is Wenqu Xing descended to earth, and Ziwei Xing reborn, as long as he stands by his side, he will make people feel ashamed.

However, Wen Qingxiao's legend came to an abrupt end three years ago.

Three years ago, the 16-year-old Wen Qingxiao came out of the court for reference, and at the age of 16, he scored two doubles and was directly selected for the palace examination.

In the palace examination, many examiners and the emperor praised him for his policy articles, and finally selected him as Tanhua.

There is even some talk about why it is Tanhua instead of the champion.

It is said that several examiners thought that Wen Qingxiao was too young at 16 years old, but Lianzhong Sanyuan's name was too big, and they were afraid that Wen Qingxiao would stop here, so they specifically named him as a candidate.

Of course, there is another way of saying it.

That is, all the Tanhua candidates in Tianqi's imperial examinations in the past dynasties are the ones with the most good looks among the top three in the palace examination.

Except for Wen Qingxiao, among the top three selected in the hall election, one of them was already in his prime, and the other was plain-looking.

Only Wen Qingxiao, who came from a noble family, was young and bright like the moon, could be worthy of the word "Tanhua", so after careful consideration, he was named as Tanhua.

No matter what the truth of the matter is, the fact that such rumors can spread, and the people in Beijing and China are convinced, is enough to show that Wen Qingxiao's talents are far higher than those of the other candidates for reference.

Such a person, if there are no accidents, the future is self-evident.

Some people even said that Wen Qingxiao's talent surpassed that of his father, and he might become the youngest cabinet scholar in the history of Tianqi in the future.

It's a pity that there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Sometimes accidents just come so that people are caught off guard.

Before Wen Qingxiao was selected as Tanhua and was about to enter the Imperial Academy, Wen Qingxiao accidentally fell from the horse's back in an accident.

What exactly happened at that time, the outside world has different opinions, and Young Master Gu doesn't know the whole picture.

I only know that when I heard the news about Wen Qingxiao later, it was the news that his ankle bone was crushed by a horse's hoof, his legs were crippled, and he was unable to walk.

.

Although Tianqi Kingdom is not like some dynasties in Chinese history, they are so harsh on officials that they are required to be handsome and tall.

However, it is still required that the official is in good health and has no disabilities.

Wen Qingxiao's situation at that time obviously did not meet the regulations of Tianqi's officialdom.

Even though Wen Qingxiao was talented in writing, even if his father and grandfather worked for him for a long time, they still failed to keep Wen Qingxiao in his official position.

There is almost no need to elaborate on what happened next.

If a scholar cannot enter and leave the court, it can be said that he has no future at all.

It can be said that Wen Qingxiao's achievements and legends came to an end with that shocking accident.

Even when people mentioned Wen Qingxiao, they would still exaggerate that he was well-educated, or say that there was a gap in his chest, and scholars would still praise the splendid articles written by him.

But everyone knows that these are two completely different feelings.

During the first period of the accident, many people felt sorry for it, and their words were quite distressed.

Some people even said that rules are dead, but people are alive, and that since Wen Qingxiao has obtained a high degree of fame, the imperial court should not reject him because of this accident.

But with the passage of time, people seem to have gradually forgotten this talented man who was once amazing in Kyoto.

Occasionally someone mentioned it, and at most they only got a sigh of "it's a pity".

In Young Master Gu's memory, the last time he heard Wen Qingxiao's name was two years ago.

Two years ago, a marriage contract was made with the sixth son Wen, and Wen Qingxiao's childhood sweetheart's fiancée came to withdraw from the marriage.

What the woman said at that time could be said to be extremely ugly.

What is "You are disabled and want to drag my girl down?"

What is "today is different from the past, Mr. Wen Liu should also recognize the reality as soon as possible!"

What else is there? "According to the lintel of the Hanlin Bachelor, presumably there will be many daughters of small families who don't mind the current situation of Mr. Wen Liu, so why hold on to my daughter?"

……

Such words can be said to emerge in endlessly.

Before Wen Qingxiao's accident, his family background, appearance, and talents were not lacking in everything, and the person he was betrothed to was naturally a well-connected and talented lady in Beijing.

As soon as this incident happened, although many people felt that the woman was not kind, their eagerness to get rid of it was a bit ugly.

But there are also many people who say that the Wen family is wrong, that Wen Qingxiao's own future is ruined, so he should not drag other girls' families down.

Amidst the divergent opinions, there has been a lot of uproar in Beijing for quite a while.

In the end, the marriage was naturally resigned, and after the resignation subsided, the sixth son Wen, who had occasionally heard news, also completely fell silent.

In the past two years, there has never been even the slightest rumor.

If Gu Yanli hadn't mentioned Wen Qingxiao's name today, Gu Yanshu would have never remembered such a person who surprised most people in Beijing.

"If it is Mr. Wen Liu, it is indeed in line with..."

Gu Yanshu pondered for a moment, and finally gave the answer.

Leaving aside all the commotion that happened to Mr. Wen Liu, Wen Qingxiao can indeed convince most scholars from the point of view of knowledge.

Even today, the collection of poems and articles written by Wen Qingxiao are still widely sought after by literati and students.

It's just that Gu Yanli immediately thought of another question:

"But will Mr. Sixth Wen be willing?"

Wen Qingxiao did meet Gu Yanshu's requirements, but so many things happened to him, such as disability, loss of office, divorce...

Those with a slightly weaker mental ability may not be able to bear it.

Not to mention someone like the sixth son Wen who was once given high hopes for the favored son of heaven.

From the silence of Mr. Wen Liu in the past two years, it seems to be able to prove this point.

Don't Gu Yanshu and Gu Yanli have a good discussion here at that time, but turn around and the sixth son Wen is unwilling to go out of the mountain. Isn't that embarrassing?

"This……"

When Gu Yanli heard this question, a trace of uncertainty appeared on his face, and he pondered for a moment:

"Why don't you go talk to Qing Xiao first, if it's feasible, then arrange for you to meet with him?"

Gu Yanshu also felt that Gu Yanli's proposal was feasible:

"That's fine, then this matter will trouble the elder brother."

"It's just a mention to Qingxiao, how can this be troublesome?"

Gu Yanli said so, but in fact, he was also not sure whether Wen Qingxiao was willing to come out of the mountain.

As Gu Yanshu guessed, the series of events that happened at the beginning had a great blow to Wen Qingxiao.

Originally, Wen Qingxiao did not completely collapse after being disabled and losing his official position.

He even said that learning is not in the temple and cannot be an official. Instead, he can devote himself to learning, and maybe he can make another sentence, which is not entirely a bad thing.

But then the fiancee's resignation became the last straw that crushed Wen Qingxiao.

Outsiders don't know the inside story of the accident at the time, they friends who made good friends with Wen Qingxiao

But it is crystal clear.

After Wen Qingxiao was selected as Tanhua, there were rumors that the eldest princess fell in love with Wen Qingxiao and wanted to recruit him as her son-in-law, so she asked the emperor to appoint him as Tanhua.

Although such rumors are absurd, they are not completely unbelievable.

After all, in the history of Tianqi, there were quite a few son-in-laws who were chosen by the emperor in the palace selection, and they were recruited as son-in-laws after they came to the palace.

It's just that neither Wen Qingxiao nor the others took this rumor to heart.

After all, Wen Qingxiao already had a marriage contract at that time, and the royal family wanted face. No matter how much the princess liked her, she couldn't snatch other people's husbands.

But Wen Qingxiao's fiancée heard this rumor from nowhere, and even took it seriously, crying and clamoring for Wen Qingxiao to give an explanation.

After being finally coaxed down, the woman said she would ask Wen Qingxiao to go outing in the countryside.

At that time, Wen Qingxiao was busy with the appointment and didn't want to go, but the woman revealed the matter again, and Wen Qingxiao had no choice but to go to the appointment.

The accident happened on the way out.

The person who startled the horse at first was not Wen Qingxiao, but his fiancée.

When the horse was startled, Wen Qingxiao was not far away.

Seeing such a situation, he naturally gave up without thinking about it.

Although Wen Qingxiao is only known for his knowledge, his martial arts skills are not bad. He just saved a person from horseback, so there shouldn't be any problems.

As a result, his fiancée struggled in panic, and in the end, the stimulated Nama directly went mad.

In a panic, Wen Qingxiao was trampled under the horse's hoof.

If it wasn't for the quick reaction of Gu Yanli and others who were traveling together at that time, Wen Qingxiao might even have died on the spot instead of just losing a leg.

No one wants to see this happen.

When people from the Wen family came to find him, Gu Yanli wanted to tell the truth, but Wen Qingxiao stopped him.

Said that he just did what a man and a fiancé should do, and the matter is a foregone conclusion, so don't say anything more, so as not to make it difficult for the fiancée to do it after marrying into Wen's family.

Wen Qingxiao was extremely considerate for his fiancée.

Who would have thought that his fiancée had waited for a few months, and after seeing that no one knew the truth about the shocking horse at the time, she would directly choose to withdraw at home.

He even said something like "Since you have already offered to help, why not help to the end?", which made Gu Yanli quite disgusted.

As a bystander, Gu Yanli was like this, so one can imagine how much this incident hit Wen Qingxiao.

After retiring, Wen Qingxiao

He locked himself in the room.

Although I still read books for learning, and I still write poems and essays, but I am no longer cheerful and eloquent as before.

Most of the time, if Gu Yanli didn't come to visit from time to time, maybe he wouldn't have a word with others for a year or so.

If Gu Yanshu wanted him to be in charge of the daily affairs, it was inevitable that he would have to interact with others.

Gu Yanli thought of Wen Qingxiao because he wanted to take this opportunity to let him get out of the previous blow.

But when Gu Yanshu really nodded in agreement, Gu Yanli became uncertain about whether he could persuade Wen Qingxiao to leave the mountain.

Seeing his younger brother's worry about the candidates for the daily newspaper, and thinking of Wen Qingxiao's increasingly decadent performance, Gu Yanli secretly made up his mind:

Even if Wen Qingxiao is knocked out and carried over, let him take over the job of the daily newspaper!
