The twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Wu Fu.

Wen Yu's embarrassing toes can deduct a castle, and there are four or five women in their 30s and 40s sitting around her, and Wu Ju's wife, Mrs. Wu, sits in the main seat.

What's even more frightening is that these people all looked at themselves, as if she was some kind of novelty.

Where do you live?How old is it?How much is the official residence?Have you ever been married?One question after another was asked one after another, and Wen Yu was exhausted by the end of the question, and was on the verge of closing himself off.

Ah, didn't she come to look for Uncle Wu today? Why was she lured into this room by that young man first?Wen Yu had an impression of some of them. They were the wives of Wu Ju's sons. She met these women when she was at Wu's house for the festival the year before last.

"Xiao Langjun, don't be nervous, we are just talking to you."

Mrs. Wu cleared her throat: "Jin'er, you are twenty-one now, have you ever thought about getting a wife?"

so direct?The teacher pushed and shoved himself, wouldn't it be to let him go on a blind date?But Wu Zhinan's little girl is the only one of the right age in Master Wu's family. Isn't she only thirteen years old this year?It shouldn't be her, but could it be the sisters of these ladies?

Wen Yu lowered her head, her brows almost wrinkled together.Maybe I thought too much, right?Hahaha, Wen Yu laughed awkwardly in his heart.

She definitely doesn't want to marry a wife, what kind of wife does she marry as a woman, Wen Yu's words of refusal don't even change, she doesn't panic when facing danger, she still has an indifferent expression on the surface, "I haven't established a career yet, how can I start a family."

"He looks talented and humble, and he's still Lu Shangshu's disciple." One of the wives spoke loudly, smiled sweetly, and sized Wen Yu up and down.

Several people around nodded, looking at Wen Yu with more and more satisfied eyes.

No, she can't take it anymore, it's terrible, she has to get out of here quickly.

Wen Yu asked tentatively: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have important matters to discuss with Elder Wu Ge, so please leave the table first."

Mrs. Wu smiled and nodded, "Okay, good boy, you go to him first. Don't delay your business."

Wen Yu maintained the final etiquette and bid farewell to the ladies.

Then he quickly ran to Wu Ju's study to find out what the master uncle wanted from her. She didn't believe that Wu Ju would not be clear about the scene just now.

"Master, it's me."

Wu Ju rubbed the chess pieces in his hands, thinking about how to break the game.

"Heng Qi, come in. I haven't seen you for a while, you seem to have grown a little taller. Come, be my opposite, let's take a look at this chess game."

Wu Ju didn't mention anything about Wen Yu seeing the Wu family's wives just now, he didn't even raise his eyes, and kept staring at the chessboard.

Wen Yu didn't dare to ask any more questions, she took advantage of the situation and sat opposite Wu Ju, thinking about this game, the black player seemed to have missed in the middle game, but at the end, she turned the previous mistakes into a powerful hand and reversed the situation.war situation.

As for more, Wen Yu couldn't see it anymore. She was not a person who pretended to understand, so she said directly: "Uncle, I am not good at studying, so I can only see that the black chess player turned the tide of the battle, and even more so.You can’t see much of it.”

Wu Ju finally looked up at Wen Yu, and said with a smile, "You are honest."

"This is a chess match between Maozhi and me before leaving. He was playing black and I was playing white. I didn't expect to be played by this kid at the end of the game. The younger generation is awesome. I remember that last year he couldn't beat me."

This game of chess was originally played by the senior brother and the senior uncle. Wen Zhen often heard the teacher say that Wu Ju's chess skills are very high, but he did not expect the senior brother to give in too much.However, it seemed that she hadn't seen her senior brother at the end of October, and it seemed that it had been nearly two months now.

Sure enough, the senior brother left Capital City again, but why he didn't tell himself this time, nor did he say goodbye to himself.Wen Yu didn't grasp the uncomfortable feeling in her heart, and soon, the sad emotion dissipated.

Wu Ju put the white pieces in his hand back into the chess box.

"Heng Qi, do you know what the old man asked you to come this time?" A smile finally appeared on Wu Ju's face, but the smile was very shallow, and Wen Yu couldn't figure out what Wu Ju meant.

Different from her own teacher, Wen Yu has always maintained an attitude of fear and respect towards her teacher's brother, the powerful and powerful Wu Ge Lao.

It's like visiting relatives during Chinese New Year in the previous life. This relative may be familiar with your parents, but he is usually unsmiling, high-status and rich.You think that this person may be close to you, but you just dare not act recklessly in front of him.

Wen Yu lowered her eyes and pondered, so she naturally didn't dare to answer such a wisecrack as asking the wives of the Wu Mansion to inspect the goods.

Eyelashes fluttered, Wen Yu replied: "Students don't know."

This time it was Wu Ju's turn to laugh, "It is Lu Youzhi who knows you, Heng Qi, you can guess boldly. You should have met my wife and my daughters-in-law just now."

Wen Yu was a little timid in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. Could it be that things were really as she thought, the teacher tricked herself to give her a blind date.These two old men are the ministers of Da Qi's shoulders. If either of them goes out and stomps their feet casually, Capital City will be shocked. Now they are together, just because of her, a seventh-rank official, as a matchmaker?

Does she have such a big face?For a moment, various thoughts circled in Wen Yu's mind and collided with each other, making her head ache.

Wen Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Ju. Even though his hair was graying, the old Wu Ge, who was over sixty years old, was still in good spirits and had piercing eyes.

"You and the teacher want to match the students." After Wen Yu finished speaking, she didn't dare to look directly into Wu Ju's eyes, she was sure that her expression must be very strange now.

Wu Ju took a sip of tea before he said leisurely, "That's right."

"Thank you uncle for your kindness, but I don't have the idea of starting a family yet, I still want to focus on my career."

"Career is the most important thing, nephew, a good career is the most important thing!"

Wu Ju smashed the teacup in his hand directly on the table, the porcelain collided with the wooden table, making a crisp sound, the tea fell wantonly on the table, and the study was as quiet as death.

Wen Yu was frightened.

She looked at the delicate carpet on the ground, and one part was already wet by water, probably from the cup of tea that uncle drank just now. Her heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and her palms seemed to be sweating too.

"Martial nephew, you have been in Beijing for so long, and you have been working in Dali Temple for at least three months. But do you dare to count down what you have done during these days?"

Wu Ju's voice was very calm, but Wen Yu could hear the deeper anger contained in it.

"Lu Youzhi is too soft-hearted to reprimand you with too harsh words. But I am not that guy, and I will not spoil you and let you continue like this. Although Dali Temple is a seventh-rank official, it is in charge of judging and rehabilitatingPrison, what have you done? Apart from reading the case files every day, what have you gained.

Is it possible that you still have such a naive thought in your heart, thinking that this capital city is as simple as other small counties.If you really want to occupy a place in this capital, you have to fight for it and grab it by yourself.Is it possible that your teacher hasn't given you the way of being an official yet?"

Wen Yu's lips were tightly pressed together, she didn't know how to refute, and she didn't want to refute, because Wu Ju's words were not wrong, and she had indeed muddled through these three months.

But she really doesn't want to be an official in Capital City, maybe she also had a dream of becoming a prime minister, but Wen Yu clearly knew that it was a dream, and it was just a dream.Back to reality, she still wants to be a poor but leisurely official, without any big ambitions, living in a corner, without thinking about complicated things.

Others may envy Wen Yu who can be transferred back to Beijing in just one year, but during the three months since Wen Yu returned to Capital City, she often dreamed of the scene when she was in Yi Xin.At that time, I seemed to have endless enthusiasm, and put all my energy into the work of rectifying Yi Xin.At that time, she had only one thought, which was to make Yi Xin better and let the people in Yi Xin live a better life.

But it seems to be different now, Wen Yu pursed her lips, but she didn't know what was different.

Wu Ju didn't disturb Wen Yu who was in deep thought, but instead showed a slight smile on his face.

Wen Yu lowered her eyes and stared at her own toes, and clenched her hands tightly.

It was true that Wu Ju was reprimanding herself, but it was strange that Wen Yu lost that fear, because she knew very well that the uncle was willing to say these words because he had goodwill towards her, and this may not be the same.It doesn't sound good, but it really reminds me of Wen Zhen.

If she still wants to stay in Capital City, if she still wants to go up, it won't work with her original attitude.But the problem is that Wen Yu doesn't want to, and doesn't want to.

Wen Yu is not stupid, but she also knows that she is by no means the most intelligent person.Everyone thinks they should go up and up, but she's not what they think.Her original goal of becoming an official through the scientific examination has been completed, and she has fulfilled all the words in her grandfather's suicide note.

Yi Xin is the first place where she became an official, so she has such unquenchable enthusiasm?Wen Yu let go of her hand, no, not because of that, but because everything she did in Yi Xin was meaningful.

If she can't bear the suffering of the people, she can cut taxes and build canals. If the bandits are rampant and harass the people, she can wipe them out.But Capital City doesn't seem to need this, nor can it tolerate it.

Wen Yu pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.

Wu Ju calmly changed himself another cup of tea, "Nephew, I forgot to ask you, do you still want to be an official in Beijing?"

Hearing these words, Wen Yu's heart skipped a beat.

"You know I don't want to stay in Beijing." Wen Yu's voice trembled.

Wu Ju laughed a few times, and sighed a little: "I am a person who is about to be buried in half, so I can see it naturally. Nankang City is prosperous, but not everyone loves this place. Your master doesn't love it, youI don't love him either, he really deserves to be a master and apprentice.

But Heng Qi, don't you know?Since His Majesty is willing to bring you back to Capital City from Yi Xin, it is impossible to simply let you go."

Wen Yu's lowered eyes widened in an instant, and she looked at Wu Ju in a daze, "Master, what do you mean?"

Wu Ju shook his head lightly, "Lu Youzhi has been away from Beijing for a long time, I don't know your majesty better than me. Although your majesty is only twenty-two years old, every step he takes has a plan and purpose. MasterNephew, even if you have the idea of leaving Beijing, it's best not to show it easily."

Wu Ju took another sip of tea, his tone still calm: "You should go back and think about what I just said. Let's talk about the business next."
