Wen Yantong stepped steadily and ruthlessly, and directly shoveled Cheng Xiao's work to pieces, without any chance of saving it.
When she was lifted up from the ground by Zhang Jieran, everyone was still in a daze, she pretended to be flustered, "Oh my god, what can I do! I was so careless that I knocked down His Highness Seven's work!"
To be precise, it was kicked.
She slapped her leg twice, "My leg! I've been wrestling all day! It's really useless!"
Cheng Xiaotian was really like a little sheep. Seeing that Yantong felt guilty like this, he immediately waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, but it's just a pile of snow. If it falls down, it will fall down. You didn't fall, did you? Isn't the leg just a few days old?"
Wen Yantong burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your concern. My legs are much better, but I am a bit uncomfortable when I walk."
Cheng Xiao nodded, "It's fine."
After watching the whole process and knowing that Wen Yantong's kick was completely intentional, Chi Jingxi remained silent, but couldn't help laughing.
Finally it was Cheng Xin's turn, when Wen Yantong was thinking about how to deal with it, Cheng Xin smiled and said, "Forget it, you don't need to read mine, I worked so hard to make it, I don't want to end up in a mess The fate of the land."
Wen Yantong scratched his head with a smile, "That's fine, let the young master see His Highness Fifth."
Chi Jingxi said, "What else am I looking at? These works make you pick, kick, and depreciate. If I make a review that makes you unsatisfactory, why don't you just shovel me like you did just now?" fall?"
Wen Yantong rubbed his hands together, and said with a smile, "That's impossible! Young Master is fair and just. I'm naturally convinced by the result of your evaluation. The previous matter was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Chi Jingxi's eyes fell on Cheng Xin's snow statue, "I choose Qianyuan."
"Okay!" Wen Yantong raised his hands high and said, "Since the two of us disagree..."
"Then you guys decide the winner and decide who is the best!" Mu Yang jumped out and interrupted her, "Anyway, I voted for Brother Qianyuan, otherwise you and Brother Xi can compare whose fist is harder, Only those who win have the right to speak!"
Wen Yantong's eyes widened, good guy, you really want me to ascend to heaven in place! Did you pick your snow image soon
"No, no, no!" Wen Yantong shook his head and said, "Since my opinion differs from that of the young master, then the winner will be changed from one to two, and those of you who did not win can just choose whose wish to satisfy." .”
Mu Yang was the first to be unhappy, "Why do you change it when you say it? How can the two win at once?"
Wen Yantong snorted, "I have the final say on the rules I set."
Mu Yang glanced at Fu Zixian, as if asking questions with his eyes. Fu Zixian nodded quickly, "The rules are indeed proposed by Wen Yantong."
Mu Yang secretly said three times that he had made a mistake, and finally he was so angry that his liver hurt and he had no choice but to give up.
Wen Yantong saw that he was very angry, and he really felt guilty for ruining his work, so he leaned in front of him, pulled him a few steps away, and said in a low voice, "There's nothing to be angry about, I'm doing this for your own good."
Mu Yang said unhappily, "Why is it for me again?"
"Have you been thinking about asking Fu Zixian to teach you archery?" Wen Yantong brought Fu Zixian out.
Ever since Mu Yang saw Fu Zixian's archery skills, he stuck to Fu Zixian like a slug, thinking about the bow and arrow in his hand all the time. But Fu Zixian was restrained, and Fu Shi's warning might have played a role, so he has always been respectful to this young master.
This troubled Mu Yang a little.
As soon as he heard Yantong mention it, he immediately changed his expression, half-believing and half-doubting, "... yes, what's the matter?"
"Then do you know why Fu Zixian has been unfamiliar with you?" Wen Yantong asked again.
"Where do I know where to go? Tell me quickly!" Mu Yang was impatient.
"That's because he is young and has no claims. He always feels that there is a big difference in status between you and the young master of the herdsman family, so he dare not easily seek a relationship." Wen Yantong said.
These are all the truth, and Wen Yantong would definitely not be willing to say it in normal times. But now, in order to coax Mu Yang, he had to take it out and say it.
Mu Yang stared, "I am friends with him, what does it have to do with identity?"
"Do you need me to elaborate on the gap between the concubine and the concubine? Fu Zixian is the concubine of the prime minister's mansion, how inconspicuous is it? Didn't you see it last time? Then Prime Minister Fu didn't pay attention to him in front of outsiders, let alone at home. "Wen Yantong said earnestly, "But you are different. You are the young master of the Mu family. You are pampered and pampered. Naturally, you don't care about these small details. If Fu Zixian is really on good terms with you, I don't know how many people secretly criticize you. Well, how could he have the guts?"
After hearing this, Mu Yang was stunned for a while, as if he had figured it out all at once.
He had thought of the meaning of Wen Yantong's words before, but he always felt that no matter how bad Fu Zixian was, he was still the prime minister's son, and no one should treat him badly, but he suddenly realized that even if Fu Zixian was the prime minister's son, he was just a bastard. That's all.
On his head are the sons and daughters of the prime minister's mansion, a mistress, several aunts, and the young masters of officials, big and small, in Chaoge. Those who can step on him are gone.
Mu Yang asked nervously, "Then what did you mean when you said it was for me?"
"Fu Tanghuan is Fu Zixian's older sister. You can find out after asking around. She is the one who has the best relationship with Fu Zixian in the Fu family." Wen Yantong said, "If you win her in this small competition now, you will inevitably call her Feeling uncomfortable makes her feel that you are a man who is competitive and does not know how to behave, and when I hear that Fu Zixian is on good terms with you, can she, as a sister, let her younger brother associate with a person with bad conduct?"
Mu Yang's eyes widened, and he said repeatedly, "So that's the way it is! That's why you deliberately wanted Fu Tanghuan to win?"
"That's natural. If you have a good relationship with Fu Tanghuan, it's equivalent to smashing Fu Zixian's shell from the side, isn't it better than you to bite the bullet and hit it from the front?" Wen Yantong saw that Mu Yang had bitten the hook to death, and immediately drew the net, "I have worked so hard for you, but you are still angry with me. It really makes me sad."
Mu Yang immediately apologized, "Brother, I'm really sorry, I was too careless, I didn't think of this, I apologize."
Wen Yantong sighed, "Who told you that you are my brother? Of course I chose to forgive."
"That's great." Mu Yang laughed happily, and then asked in a low voice, "Then how can I make Fu Zixian let go of his guard? Brother, give me a trick."
"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, and there is no rush." Wen Yantong patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It will be a long time in the future, I will tell you in detail later."
Mu Yang nodded quickly, according to his words.
Seeing this, Wen Yantong couldn't help but said, "You are so smart, you can see through it, I still can't help but want to praise you."
"You are such a fool."
They whispered at the side for a while, and then Mu Yang changed his angry expression just now, and walked back with a smile on Wen Yantong's neck, no longer the slightest bit of anger before.
As soon as the two returned to the team, a bell rang from the temple. The rooms in the temple may all be equipped with some kind of sound transmission device, and the bells spread around and spread layer by layer, so that people can hear clearly in every corner of the temple.
Mu Yang said, "This is a reminder that we are going to eat."
Wen Yantong had been arguing for a long time, and was also hungry at this time, when he was about to say goodbye to Chi Jingxi and the others, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Fu Shi walking slowly.
As long as Fu Shi appears in her sight, she will always look fragile and gentle, which makes Wen Yantong quite annoying.
Her eyes paused for a moment, and she said, "Miss San, your younger sister has come to look for you."
After listening to her words, they all followed her gaze and saw Fu Shi coming slowly, and they had different thoughts for a while.
Seeing that everyone noticed her, Fu Shi also called out, "Third Sister."
Fu Tang smiled happily, "Why are you looking for me at this time?"
"I just heard that you and the sixth brother are playing here, so I want to come and see." Fu Shi smiled slightly, and said a little coquettishly, "Why don't you call me?"
When she got closer, Wen Yantong realized that the girl had been carefully made up, with rouge on her red lips, bright and charming.
I'm afraid he came here because he heard that Fu Tanghuan and Fu Zixian were playing here, but because he heard that Chi Jingxi and the two princes were here, bah!
Ever since Wen Yantong knew that she was intending to frame him, he didn't want to show her any good looks, so his eyebrows curled up, and his whole face was bright with disapproval.
She said to Fu Zixian and Zhang Jieran, "Let's go eat? Otherwise, there will be too many people later, and there won't be enough food."
Zhang Jieran said, "Don't worry, the vegetarian meal is prepared according to the portion, and there will be no shortage of food."
Fu Zixian seemed to be aware of Wen Yantong's emotions, and said, "Now go and general."
Wen Yantong nodded happily, "Yes, yes, yes."
Mu Yang looked at her, "Go together? Follow us, you can eat more delicious food."
Of course Wen Yantong was happy, but she was afraid that Chi Jingxi and the others would not agree. If she was herself, she could still be ashamed and follow her with a three-inch tongue, but now she still has Fu Zixian and Zhang Jieran by her side after all.
She glanced at Chi Jingxi quietly, trying to figure out what he was thinking.
But he didn't expect to be caught by Chi Jingxi, "What are you doing so thieves?"
Wen Yantong grinned, and asked, "Young master, are you going to eat?"
"I have a body made of iron, so I don't need to eat." Chi Jingxi said softly.
Knowing that he was talking ironically, Wen Yantong laughed and laughed several times before pulling Mu Yang to leave, "Let's go, let's go, I haven't eaten the vegetarian meal in the temple yet."
Cheng Xin asked suspiciously, "Did you not participate in the Snow Sweeping Festival last year?"
Wen Yantong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he accidentally slipped the tongue, so he made up for it, "I mean, I have never eaten the fast food at Nian'an Temple, so it is different from other temples."
Mu Yang said, "I haven't eaten it yet, so I just came to taste it today."
Several people said they were going to leave, Fu Shi became anxious when she saw it, and hurriedly shouted, "Sixth brother!"
Fu Zixian didn't know, so he looked back at her, did he give Fu Shi face in front of outsiders, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with Fourth Sister?"
Several people looked at her, and she realized that she had lost her composure just now, so she put on a smiling face again, and asked softly, "I just came here, are you leaving? Why don't you play with my sister for a while."
Fu Zixian was a little embarrassed for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
Wen Yantong brushed him: Useless things, let me get out of the way!
"Forget it, we just played for a while, and we are all hungry at this time, so we don't have the strength to continue playing. Besides, the fourth lady is so tightly wrapped, I think she is very afraid of the cold, how can I let you rub the snow with your hands What about it?" Wen Yantong said lukewarmly.
Fu Shi hurriedly stretched out her hands from under the cloak, and said with a smile, "Why, I like kneading snow the most."
Wen Yantong glanced at her hands, and said in surprise, "Ah, Miss Fourth's hands are so beautiful, they are suitable for making fuss on the strings, how can they be soaked in snowdrifts? Be careful if your hands are soaked, whether it is Playing the piano or beating people is not very easy.”
There were thorns in her words, everyone present could hear them, and they couldn't help but look sideways at Wen Yantong.
Fu Shi's face was even more ugly, it seemed that Wen Yantong's words implied a warning, gritted his teeth and forced a smile, "What are you talking about?"
"Miss Si understands." Wen Yantong smiled at her.
Fu Shi was so angry that her face was livid, and she couldn't keep her smile, looking very weird.
Wen Yantong saw that his goal had been achieved, so he stopped talking to her,
After she finished speaking, she gave Fu Zixian a hand, "Let's go, brother Zixian."
Wen Yantong looked like a victorious rooster, with his head held high and his chest high, he was very unhappy. Seeing that Chi Jingxi and the others hadn't left yet, he happily went up to him, "Where is the place to eat?"
Cheng Xiao said, "Follow me, I know where I am."
They left together, leaving only Fu Shi and Fu Tanghuan.
Fu Tanghuan didn't want to have dinner with Fu Shi either, so she turned to leave, "Fourth sister, you can play by yourself, I'm going to find Miss Jiang's family."
Fu Shi flew into the air, so angry that she stood on the spot for a while before leaving by herself.
On Wen Yantong's side, everything was natural along the way. Chi Jingxi and Cheng Xin were chatting, while Cheng Xiao was listening. Mu Yang followed Wen Yantong, as if he wanted to ask something.
For what Wen Yantong said just now, several people could see the clues.
But smart people like to think about it by themselves, such as Chi Jingxi and Cheng Xin, they just skipped this matter as if they didn't see it at all, but they have already figured it out in their hearts.
But there are some who are a little bit stupid, such as Mu Yang, who not only can't figure it out, but is always anxious to know the answer, so he always wants to ask Wen Yantong himself.
Of course, there are people who are completely ignorant and not curious, such as Zhang Jieran. He was nervous right now, because it was the first time he had dinner with the sons of royal nobles and high-ranking officials.
Wen Yantong could see that Mu Yang was restless, so he took the initiative to talk to Zhang Jieran, not giving him a chance to ask questions, "Brother Zhang, which temple did you sweep snow last year?"
Zhang Jieran turned around and said, "It's also in Nian'an Temple."
She was surprised, "How did you live here last year? Is the vegetarian meal delicious?"
Zhang Jieran replied truthfully, "There is nothing to criticize about the vegetarian food, but the accommodation..."
Wen Yantong immediately became interested, "What's wrong? Didn't sleep well?"
"At night... there was a lot of trouble, so I didn't have much rest." Zhang Jieran said in a low voice.
Wen Yantong was gearing up excitedly, "What's the trouble? Let me listen carefully."
Zhang Jieran looked up at Cheng Xin timidly, and said in a low voice, "I'd better tell you when I go back, it's not appropriate here."
She nodded.
Mu Yang, who was eavesdropping, was in a hurry, and pressed Zhang Jieran's shoulder, "What's inappropriate to say here?"
Zhang Jieran was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "It's all right!"
Mu Yang persisted, "I just heard you say something is wrong..."
Wen Yantong pawed him, "What are you doing to embarrass Brother Zhang?"
Mu Yang said, "I want to hear it too."
"Then why don't you come to see us at night?" Wen Yantong said, "Anyway, our houses are not far apart."
As soon as Mu Yang heard it made sense, he didn't continue to question Zhang Jieran.
A few people went all the way to the fasting room of Nian'an Temple. There were ten large rooms, and tables and chairs were placed inside.
But after arriving, Wen Yantong found out that Chi Jingxi and the others had a separate room, and a row of guards had already stood at the door of that room, and they all saluted when they saw Chi Jingxi and others appear.
The room was extremely warm, and there was a big carpet at the door, which sucked away the snow from everyone's soles. Several lamps were lit in the room, even though the windows were covered by cotton curtains, the room was very bright.
The chairs beside the table were all with backrests, originally only four were placed, but the guards saw that there were three more people added, so they moved three more from the spare chairs beside the table.
Wen Yantong sighed secretly, no wonder Mu Yang said that there will be delicious food with them, this is completely a small cooking for these young masters alone!
Although the imperial order said that princes and heirs entered Songhai Academy, they were all students of the academy and should be treated equally. But in fact, in this case, the prince is still the prince, and the young prince is still the young prince, they are different from ordinary people.
Wen Yantong was envious and jealous at the same time, couldn't help curling his mouth.
Who knew that this little trick was discovered by Chi Jingxi, and he said, "What? Did you get upset by asking you to come here for dinner?"
Wen Yantong immediately twisted his mouth, and raised a smile, "I'm too happy to be happy, why would I be angry, the young master misunderstood."
Cheng Xin smiled and said, "Then you should eat more."
In just a short while, the piping hot dishes were served. There were ten dishes plus two servings of soup, and the room was instantly filled with fragrance.
Wen Yantong looked at it carefully and found that these dishes were all vegetarian. This was a big blow to her who ate meat every day.
How can rice be called rice without meat
The next step is the normal process, and the guards come up to inspect the dishes.
After the dishes were inspected, Cheng Xin, who had the highest status on the table, moved the first chopsticks, and then the meal began.
Wen Yantong was hungry after all, even if there was no meat, the food was delicious. About half full after eating, Wen Yantong realized that Zhang Jieran and Fu Zixian were very reserved, they seldom ate food, and only kept eating rice.
Wen Yantong sighed secretly, saying that next time, she would not be able to eat with Chi Jingxi and the others again, her two little friends were determined not to have enough to eat.
And always switching back and forth between public chopsticks and private chopsticks, eating a meal is really strenuous.
The few people were well-bred, and they would not speak easily once they moved their chopsticks, so the meal was finished in silence.
Zhang Jieran had previously told Wen Yantong that the real start of snow removal was after lunch, and after the snow removal, he had to go to the temple to silently recite scriptures and pray for blessings.
On the first day, I prayed for the prosperity of the country and the people, on the second day I prayed for good weather, and on the third day I prayed for myself and my family.
Wen Yantong walked around the room after eating, and not long after, the bell rang again in the temple. Then some monks tapped on the gong, and when they passed by, they yelled for people to gather in the east courtyard.
When I went there, the master of the academy had already been standing on the seven steps and waited. After seeing that the people were about to arrive, he talked about the meaning and practice of the snow-sweeping festival in a decent way, and allocated snow-sweeping areas according to the school.
Ding Liutang, where Wen Yantong lived, was assigned to a yard that almost no one had visited, and the snow was extremely thick.
She took the shovel in her hand and let out a long sigh, but in the end she still had to work hard. Just as she was going in, Zhao Yu pulled her back and said in a low voice, "Your legs just don't last long, so don't work too hard when you're working, just act casually, so as not to damage your legs again. .”
Wen Yantong was very moved and nodded quickly.
In fact, Zhao Yu didn't need to say it, she knew that only a fool would work hard.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Fu Zixian shoveling the snow very seriously.
Wen Yantong walked beside him, digging with two shovels and resting for a while, being lazy and skilful. But after a while, she saw Wu Yutian also loafing not far away, chatting with the people next to him, looking very proud.
Wen Yantong couldn't bear his complacency, thinking that he had framed her by killing a chicken before, so he felt even more uncomfortable, and walked to him with a shovel in his hand.
He shoveled a shovel of snow, and then threw it on Wu Yutian's body hard, so that his head and face were covered with snow dust.
Wu Yutian yelled.
Wen Yantong immediately dropped the shovel and stepped forward, "Oh, I'm really sorry, I didn't see Mr. Wu nearby!"
She grabbed Wu Yutian's collar and shook it vigorously, and the snow fell down his neck into his clothes. The cold Wu Yutian yelled a few times, and it was Wen Yantong who was about to push her immediately.
Fortunately, Wen Yantong was already prepared, he dodged to the side, tripped Wu Yutian, pushed along his back, and Wu Yutian fell into the snow.
This is exactly what Wen Yantong wanted! She immediately knelt down and pressed his shoulders with her knees, hugged Xue and buried him on Wu Yutian's body, burying him in an instant.
Taking the opportunity, he grabbed two handfuls and stuffed them into his collar.
Freeze to death you bastard!
Wu Yutian was yelled at by Bing, and he still didn't forget to scold Wen Yantong, struggling to get up. It can be heard that Yantong didn't give him a chance, and threw snow into his mouth when he was yelling, making his mouth full of ice cold.
In the end, Zhao Yu saw it and hurried over, but Wen Yantong was pulled away by Fu Zixian.
Wu Yutian was so angry that he got up from the snow and yelled at him. Who knew that Li Boyuan was standing beside him, and immediately kicked him, "Student literati, he insulted his classmates so dirty, he has learned a lot of knowledge like a dog!" Stomach gone?!"
Wu Yutian was so frightened, he immediately admitted his mistake and sued Wen Yantong for his crimes.
Wen Yantong frowned and pretended to be innocent, "I was accidentally tripped by Wu Yutian just now, and I don't want to be on top of him."
Wu Yutian was so angry with her innocent look that he jumped three feet high, "He is faking it! He is faking it! He even stuffed snow in my neck..."
Li Boyuan slapped him across the face, "Shut up! Sweep the snow honestly, if you dare to make trouble again, I will punish you until nightfall!"
Wu Yutian shut up aggrieved.
Wen Yantong naturally had to criticize, but with Zhao Yu talking beside him, Li Boyuan didn't slap him anyway.
The time for snow sweeping passed quickly.
In fact, it wasn’t long at first, after all, they were all rich young masters. They said that sweeping the snow was just a little exercise, and no one dared to let them work all the time. The rest of the time was spent silently reciting scriptures in the temple.
Wen Yantong dozed off all the time while reciting silently, so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open. Chi Jingxi and the others were in other temples. Mu Yang went to follow Chi Jingxi without authorization when sweeping the snow in the afternoon, and they were not together at the moment. They couldn’t see each other at all. There was nothing she was interested in. Ideas naturally came up.
After the silent recitation, Wen Yantong's doze off also ended. The wind was very cold at night, so she and Fu Zixian had a hasty meal and went back to their rooms.
Zhang Jieran was already reading a book in the room, Wen Yantong didn't bother him, went to the hot water room to boil hot water for a simple scrubbing, and then went back to the room.
The two-person room is a small room on the left and right, and the middle room is equipped with tables and chairs. Wen Yantong moved the table and chairs away, took a spare quilt and spread it on the clean floor, and called Zhang Jieran to sit down.
She is still waiting to ask about the day's affairs.
Zhang Jieran closed the book, went to the quilt, took off his shoes and sat down, saying, "Brother Wen, why did you spread the quilt on the floor?"
"This way there is an atmosphere." Wen Yantong said.
Zhang Jieran nodded half understanding, "What do you want to know, Brother Wen?"
Wen Yantong said, "Of course it's because you didn't sleep well in Nian'an Temple last year."
Zhang Jieran then said, "It's a long story, because it's been a year, I probably forgot some things, but I still remember a little bit, so I can talk about it with Brother Wen."
"Then tell me quickly," Wen Yantong urged.
Zhang Jieran was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about where to start, but when he was about to speak, Wen Yantong interrupted him, "Wait for me."
She got up, ran to the bed and picked up her quilt, then threw it beside Zhang Jieran, moved the small heater to the side of the two of them, and said, "Cover it, this heater is not warm enough, don't get cold."
Zhang Jieran shook his head, "Brother Wen, you are weak, you should cover it."
Wen Yantong didn't force it, wrapped the quilt around her body, just sat down, and asked Zhang Jieran to wait for a while as if suddenly thinking of something.
This time she put on her shoes and went out. Not long after, she brought Fu Zixian back when she came back, and said with a smile, "It's so crowded."
Fu Zixian looked dazed, he was about to go to bed after washing his hands and feet, when Wen Yantong brought him here.
Wen Yantong pushed him on the quilt and sat down. The quilt is actually not big, and it is just right for three people to sit, and there will be no more gaps.
Wen Yantong got ready and was about to let him start talking when he suddenly remembered knocking on the door.
The three of them looked at the door at the same time, and Wen Yantong said, "Who is it? It's already sleeping. If you have nothing to do, leave!"
The next moment, Mu Yang's voice sounded outside the door, "Who are you so early? Who are you lying to!"
Wen Yantong thought to himself that this guy really came. So he ran over to open the door for him again, but when he opened the door, he found that Mu Yang was not the only one.
He also brought Chi Jingxi, Cheng Xin and Cheng Xiao.
