Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 442 The Flower of Barrenness (17)

Tian Laosan hasn't been going to the shop lately, and the couple is very worried.

Wangyou watched as the peach blossoms that had just begun to bloom outside the window were buried by snowflakes until the outside world became a vast expanse of white.

This snowfall is rather unusual. It started as sleet, then turned into heavy snow, and it has been falling all day without any sign of stopping. And now there are still four days left until the end of the exam.

Wangyou was also a little worried, but soon received good news: the emperor, seeing that the snow was too heavy, specially sent people to prepare charcoal for the candidates for the imperial examination, which was said to be suggested by the Duke of Fuguo.

"Thank you." Wangyou knew that Murong Guan must have told his parents after he returned home.

However, judging from this, the rumors circulating that the Duke of Fuguo's mansion had a particularly good relationship with the emperor are probably not unfounded.

However, it's more likely that the emperor didn't want so many students to get into trouble, since he still wanted to support the underprivileged in order to fight against the conservative forces.

On the day the exam ended, Tianye and Tianzhuang were in relatively good condition, but they were also exhausted, and their body odor was so strong it could suffocate people.

After washing up, the two went straight to their room to sleep.

Even before the results of the provincial examination were released, a news item appeared on the street.

After the illegitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family fell into the water, her personality changed drastically. She was no longer the gentle and proper girl she used to be. Her poem "Shuidiao Getou" made her famous in literary circles, attracting countless students in the capital and also drawing the attention of several sons of powerful and wealthy families.

“Miss, this ‘Shuidiao Getou’ is quite good, but it doesn’t seem like something a young lady from a noble family would write!” Chuntao shared gossip from the street with Wangyou while grinding the ink.

“There are also poems like ‘Bring in the Wine’ and ‘Sympathy for the Farmers,’ so how can you think she didn’t do it?” Wangyou said with a smile.

"Miss must have noticed it too. These poems are all different in style, and it's obvious they weren't written by the same person. I don't know if those young masters in the capital are blind or what, they're acting like they've lost their minds," Zhuzhi said as she brought tea and snacks to Wangyou.

"Who knows? Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. We can just enjoy the show." Wangyou never cared about these things.

In other words, as long as the dance doesn't happen in front of her, she'll just treat it as a joke.

After returning from the poetry gathering, Tianye and Tianzhuang came to find Wangyou with solemn expressions.

"What's with those expressions on your faces? What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see me like this?"

"Sister, you're talking nonsense again. It's just that the rumors circulating in the capital are too strange right now."

"Since it feels strange and there's nothing we can do about it, then we should stay away from it." Wangyou slowly started coloring the painting.

“Sister is right, we were too attached to appearances.” The two suddenly understood. After that day, they canceled all the messy banquets and focused on studying at home. Although the results of the imperial examination had not yet been released, the two were very confident. If they were not on the list, there must be something fishy going on.

"Murong Guan, could you please use the main gate next time you come?" Wangyou was utterly helpless as she watched Murong Guan climb over the wall again.

"Quick, let's go through the front gate, it's not a good look."

"You know it's bad for your reputation, but you've already ruined it by using a VPN."

"I'll go back, you can eat it while it's hot." Murong Guan skillfully climbed over the wall again and left.

"Chuntao, go find someone to put a row of broken porcelain shards on this wall so that some people won't keep climbing over it," Wangyou said angrily.

Murong Guan stumbled as he climbed over the wall back to his residence. He hurriedly went to his study, found a half-finished hairpin, and continued carving with his knife, only now his movements were noticeably faster.

After sketching for a while, he felt it was inappropriate, so he went straight back to the Duke of Fuguo's mansion, rummaged through his private treasury, and then rummaged through his father's and mother's private treasury, selected a lot of things that the girls liked, and then ran away.

Do you think our son can win over that girl like this?

"I think so!"

"I'll have to secretly check what kind of girl the young official likes someday, so that he can be enlightened."

That night, Wangyou was about to rest when she heard a thud; she must have fallen pretty hard.

Chun Tao opened the window, but saw no one, only a box with a letter on it.

"Miss, here is a letter and a huge box."

"Let me see the letter."

Wangyou took the letter, felt its thickness, and found it to be quite thick. Amused, she opened the envelope and saw a page full of apologies, followed by a jumbled account of his lack of malicious intent. Finally, he said the contents of the box were a gift to apologize to her.

Chuntao and Zhuzhi carried the box in. When they opened it, they found a lot of jewelry inside, including three sets of headdresses and some other small items, all of which were rare treasures.

"This apology gift is rather expensive!"

"Forget it, never mind, I'll go to sleep first and we'll talk about it tomorrow." The carefree Wangyou went back to her room to rest.

Little did they know that someone on the other side of the wall had been feeding mosquitoes all night.

Murong Guan, who felt that Wang You had not yet forgiven him, had no choice but to go back to his mother to ask for advice.

The eldest princess and the Duke of the State, who were woken up by their son in the middle of the night, yawned and looked at their son as if he were an alien. They had never seen him talk so much since he was born. Today was the first time they had ever seen him talk so much.

"Son, who taught you to climb over people's walls every day?"

“When I was little, my father said he used to climb over the wall to see you.” Murong Guan looked at the princess innocently.

“A girl’s reputation is more important than anything else. If you really like her, I’ll go and give you a betrothal gift. At least we can settle things. You’re just a nobody, climbing over her wall every day. No wonder she’s angry.”

“The betrothal gifts aren’t ready yet, and I’m afraid she won’t agree.” Murong Guan lowered his head as he spoke.

"Alright, stop looking so aggrieved. I know your mother well enough. Fine, I'll go in your place." The princess said seriously, showing no sign of curiosity.

The next morning, the princess was urged by her son to get into the carriage. To avoid any trouble, the mother and son went to the Tian family in a low-key manner.

When the Tian couple saw the visitors, they were startled and immediately tried to bow, but the princess stopped them.

The couple, feeling extremely apprehensive, invited the princess to take a seat. The princess explained her purpose, and upon hearing this, Tian Laosan and Song Shi breathed a sigh of relief, assuring them that they wouldn't be questioned.

"Your Highness, I must ask her about my daughter's marriage."

"Then let this princess meet Miss Wangyou."

Upon receiving the news, Chuntao and Zhuzhi quickly roused Wangyou from her bed, helped her wash and dress, and only after that did Wangyou finally come to her senses.

Wangyou was a little unhappy about the person who disturbed her sleep, but she didn't hear clearly who it was.

As the young woman walked gracefully towards them, the eldest princess couldn't help but praise her son, "He has such good taste!"

"This humble woman..."

"You must be Wangyou. You're so beautiful. How did you get such a pretty face? I can't even find the words to describe it." Before Wangyou could even curtsy, the princess grabbed her hand and said eagerly, her eyes truly shining.
