Chapter 105 Before Entering the Capital



Chapter 105 Before Entering the Capital

Wen Yunhong, who was called to the outside of the academy by Wen Yuxia, was very excited when he learned that he was going to study in the capital: "Sister, when are we leaving? Are my eldest cousin and the others going?"

Wen Yuxia said with a faint smile, "The Emperor only allocated one spot for studying at the Imperial Academy in the capital, so my eldest cousin and the others can't go."

Hearing that he was going to the capital alone, Wen Yunhong was somewhat displeased. In recent years, he and Wen Yuxia had seen each other less and less, but since they both lived in Nanzhou Prefecture, it wouldn't be difficult for them to meet.

After moving to the capital, the siblings could only see each other once a year, and he was reluctant to leave.

Wen Yuxia said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, I'll hand over the businesses in Xinchuan County to Steward Li to manage. After that, I'll go to the capital to find you, and from now on, I'll stay in the capital to be with you."

"Sister, you have to keep your word," Wen Yunhong's face instantly turned from gloomy to sunny, and he insisted that Wen Yuxia be his confidante.

After seeing Wen Yunhong off, Butler Li reported to Wen Yuxia on the family's situation over the past few months, and Wen Yuxia nodded in satisfaction:

"Steward Li, you must take over the businesses in Xinchuan County as soon as possible. I, the princess, will be departing for the capital before the New Year..."

Since she planned to move to Beijing, Wen Yuxia decided to make arrangements for Wen Dashan's retirement life all at once. After a moment's thought, she immediately made the decision.

The house in the south of the city was given to Wen Dashan to live in, while Lu Zhigang and his family of four stayed there to serve him. The greenhouse vegetable business was handed over to Wen Dashan to manage, and all the profits went to him.

Wen Yunhai and Wen Yunqing returned to the south of the city to keep Wen Dashan company. It was close to the academy, making it convenient for them to study there. Wen Dashan was responsible for their tuition and daily expenses.

For a long time afterward, whether they were going to the estate, the horse farm, the pastry shop, or inspecting the fields in Mengzhong County, Steward Li always stayed by Wen Yuxia's side.

As time went by, Butler Li became familiar with all of the Wen family's businesses, and Wen Yuxia began preparing for her trip to the capital.

"Grandpa, we're back," Wen Yunhai and Wen Yunqing said as usual after returning to Xinghua Village during the academy's break, first going to Wen Dashan's house to greet him.

With a smug smile, Wen Dashan, pipe in hand, instructed Wen Linshi to get some pastries for the two children.

Wen Yunhai blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. He was already an adult, but Wen Dashan still treated him like a child, offering him pastries as soon as they met. "Grandpa, I don't want any, you eat them," he said.

Wen Yunqing asked innocently, "Grandpa, my second cousin already has a child, why hasn't my aunt arranged a marriage for him yet?"

A few days ago, Wen Yunhai complained to him that he was 18 and still unmarried, while his younger brother was 16 and already had a three-month-old baby. Now, his younger brother Wen Yunjiang made all the decisions in the family, and he was somewhat resentful.

To be honest, Wen Yunqing felt quite sorry for Wen Yunhai. After his aunt had a grandson, her heart leaned towards Wen Yunjiang's family of three. In the past few months, whenever Wen Yunhai came home on his days off, his aunt hadn't prepared any special food for him.

Although they ate and used better things at Wen Yuxia's house than at their own home, staying with someone else is still staying with someone else. Who wouldn't want their parents' care and attention?

Since getting married and having children would earn him his aunt's favor, he decided to reluctantly mention it to Wen Yunhai. Having done a good deed, Wen Yunqing ate the pastries as he walked home.

Wen Dashan and Wen Yunhai exchanged bewildered glances, both taken aback by Wen Yunqing's words.

"Hai'er, you want to get married?" Wen Dashan didn't want Wen Yunhai to get married right now; he hoped he would pass the imperial examinations and enter officialdom. But if Wen Yunhai was determined to get married, he wouldn't object.

Wen Yunhai smiled somewhat awkwardly. He didn't want to get married; he was just a little disappointed and had only complained to Wen Yunqing a few times. "Grandpa, I have no plans to get married," he said.

"Hai'er, Jiang'er got married early because he didn't have the good fortune to study. He was able to marry the granddaughter of a wealthy family thanks to Daya. If it weren't for Daya, a princess, the only person Jiang'er would be a village girl..."

Wen Dashan talked on and on, and as Wen Yunhai listened, tears welled up in his eyes. His grandfather was right; he would leave Xinghua Village sooner or later. His three younger brothers were his mother's only support.

How could he be jealous because his second brother's family received his mother's favoritism? He should be happy that his mother had focused her attention on his nephew.

"Grandpa, I understand. I'll go home now," Wen Yunhai said with a smile, walking briskly towards home.

After walking a few steps, Wen Yunhai stopped and turned back to shout loudly into the courtyard, "Grandpa, Xiao Qi has gone to study in the capital!"

Wen Dashan hurriedly came out of the house, "Hai'er, Hai'er, wait a minute, explain yourself before you go, when did Xiao Qi go to the capital?"

"They should have arrived in the capital by now, about two weeks ago," Wen Yunhai's voice came from afar.

"Great, great, great! Our Wen family members have all gone on to study in the capital!" Wen Dashan excitedly ran into Old Master Wen's room to report this good news.

It had been drizzling and cold for the past few days. Old Master Wen, being of advanced age, was sensitive to the cold and often stayed in bed. He was quite pleased to hear that Wen Yunhong had gone to Beijing.

The father and son discussed going to the horse farm to ask Wen Yuxia which academy Wen Yunhong was studying at in the capital when the weather cleared up, so they could brag about it to the villagers.

To be honest, Wen Dashan had never been to Wen Yuxia's home in the county town. He only knew from Wen Yunhai that she originally lived in the south of the town, but moved to the west after she received the title of princess.

If Wen Dashan wanted to find Wen Yuxia, he really didn't know where else to look besides the horse farm.

The next morning, the rain stopped. Wen Dashan hitched up the mule cart, and the father and son had just reached the village entrance when they saw Bei San driving a mule cart towards them.

Two mule carts were parked by the roadside. Wen Yuxia stepped out of the carts and asked with a smile, "Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, where are you going?"

"I'll go to the horse farm to find you. Yunhai said Xiaoqi went to the capital. I wanted to ask which academy Xiaoqi is studying at in the capital," Wen Dashan said with a smile.

Wen Yuxia calmly said, "The Emperor ordered him to study at the Imperial Academy."

"The Imperial Academy!" Wen Dashan exclaimed in surprise. Old Master Wen was equally astonished. The Imperial Academy was where the sons of royalty and powerful families studied.

After his initial surprise, Wen Dashan worried that Wen Yunhong would be bullied at the Imperial Academy. He said anxiously, "Xiao Qi is just an ordinary person. How can he study at the Imperial Academy? The students there are all rich and noble. Won't Xiao Qi be bullied?"

"Don't worry, the Crown Prince's principal wife accompanied Hong'er to the capital. With her there, no one will dare to bully Hong'er," Wen Yuxia said confidently.

Xia Yichen's younger brother, Xie Qianlian's younger brother, and Li Jiating's younger brother all studied at the Imperial Academy. Xia Yichen once said that with the three of them protecting him, the students at the Imperial Academy wouldn't dare to bully Wen Yunhong.

"Look at me, I'm so happy, we're already chatting by the roadside. Let's go, let's go, let's chat some more when we get home," Wen Dashan turned his mule cart around and headed home, with Bei San driving his mule cart close behind.
