Chapter 414 Deliberately Approaching 1
Wang Shuyan wanted to remind his nephews to be careful of people approaching them deliberately.
After school, he did not delay and rushed to the gate of the prefectural school with his schoolbox, wanting to point out Chen Sanlang to his nephews and remind them to stay away from this man.
At the gate of the government school, the carriages of the various branches of the Wang family were parked together. The three children of the eldest branch ran up from behind him, and after a perfunctory bow, they jumped into the carriage impatiently.
The driver whipped the horse and the carriage sped away.
Wang Shuyan raised his eyebrows, but before he could say anything, the children had already gotten in the car and disappeared.
Turning his gaze to the second wife and his carriage, Wang Shuyan thought, OK, let me talk to the second wife's child about Chen Sanlang today.
At this moment, the coachman from the second house suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly, but his voice was drowned out by the noisy crowd. Wang Shuyan was about to take a step forward to ask when a figure passed by behind him.
Looking closely, it turned out to be Chen Sanlang!
He strode to the carriage, stood side by side with a one-armed man, and patted the coachman Sun Wei's shoulder familiarly.
The three of them were chatting and laughing, looking very familiar with each other.
Wang Shuyan paused and was stunned. He seemed to be away from the hustle and bustle, his eyes fixed on the three people beside the carriage.
In front of Xunyang Academy, after school, the voices of people, the sounds of carriages and horses, and the cries of hawkers intertwined into a noisy sound.
His attention was attracted by Chen Sanlang and Sun Wei.
From time to time, students would walk by and say goodbye to the independent Wang Shuyan. He would smile and nod perfunctorily.
"Third Uncle!" Wang Wendong ran up to him with a red face.
Wang Shuyan pointed at Chen Sanlang beside the carriage and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know that man?"
Wang Wendong followed his uncle's gaze, a trace of admiration flashing in his eyes: "Uncle, that's Chen Sanlang, a new scholar in our academy, and my classmate."
The driver, Sun Wei, was leaning against the shaft of the cart, chatting animatedly with Chen Sanlang. Both of them had smiles on their faces and spoke in low voices from time to time.
Wang Wendong then pointed at the people beside the car and said:
"I heard that the guy with him is his brother, Huo Ying."
"brother?"
As the two men approached, they found that Chen Sanlang had already said goodbye to Sun Wei and left.
Considering Chen Sanlang's recent deliberate approach, Wang Shuyan's doubts grew even more serious.
This Chen Sanlang seems to be particularly concerned about the people and affairs of the Wang family!
Wang Shuyan got on the second carriage without hesitation.
"Third Master, this..." Ah Fu was puzzled.
"You just go back home first." Wang Shuyan waved his hand. He decided to test Sun Wei first.
The carriage turned out of Shuyuan Street. Wang Shuyan lifted the curtain and chatted with Sun Wei, who was driving.
Sun Wei was completely confused. Normally, the third master of the Wang family was the most promising one and was quite talkative, but he didn't know why he was so familiar with him. He couldn't figure out why.
The two chatted about everything from the weather and farming to strange stories in the martial arts world. Sun Wei gradually let down his guard and a confused yet relaxed smile appeared on his face.
When the topic finally turned to Chen Sanlang, Sun Wei gripped the reins tightly, with a hint of emotion in his tone:
"Third Master, speaking of which, Huo Ying and I are brothers in life and death on the battlefield. That time in the city, Mr. Wen Bai suspected that he was being followed, and I met them..."
Sun Wei told the story slowly and Wang Shuyan listened attentively.
When he heard that Chen Sanlang fought desperately in the gambling house to save Huo Ying, and passed the examination for students by auditing, his guard unconsciously loosened.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on his face, casting a soft glow on his expression.
When we returned to Wang's house, it was already dusk.
Wang Shuyan stood under the corridor of the garden, his mind racing. He wondered if he was too paranoid, but it was hard to explain why Chen Sanlang deliberately approached the Wang family.
Just when I was wondering what to do, several nephews arrived one after another.
Wang Wenzhen, Wang Wenbo and Wang Wenzhen from the main room bowed politely and took their seats, while Wang Wendong rushed in with an excited blush on his face.
"Uncle San, I heard a word recently that I just can't understand."
Wang Wendong looked at his uncle eagerly.
"Some people say that numerology is a philosophy that trains the logic of thinking. What exactly does this 'philosophy' mean?"
"Philosophy?" Wang Shuyan murmured, his eyes suddenly sharpening, "Where did this come from?"
"That's what Chen Sanlang said!" Wang Wendong's eyes were full of admiration.
"His divination, poetry, and policy are all excellent. I am always worried that I can't catch up with him. I remember every word he said clearly."
The other nephews all showed curious expressions and started asking questions one after another.
Wang Wendong's voice gradually became weaker: "Third Uncle, every time I'm with him, I feel stupid and I learn things slower than others..."
Wang Shuyan's heart was alarmed, and he was almost distracted by this topic. He suddenly came to his senses, "You have all seen Chen Sanlang? Do you know him?"
"I've seen it!" "I recognize it!"
The nephews answered in unison, with innocent smiles on their faces.
Wang Shuyan's expression became more and more solemn. No matter how talented Chen Sanlang was, this deliberate approach was always like a thorn in Wang Shuyan's heart.
Thinking that his second brother and his wife were both in Beijing preparing for the exam, leaving Wen Dong alone here, and thinking of his little niece, Wang Jinyi, who was trapped alone in the Pure Land Temple, he felt that the boys in the family were really not as good as the girls.
Jin'er is a child less than ten years old. She understands the interests of the family and the struggle for imperial power. She calmly strives to not take sides and not be taken advantage of.
These kids are so good, they don't even notice when someone approaches them deliberately, compared to Jin'er...
The nephews looked at their dazed uncle and were silent for a while. Wang Wendong couldn't hold back his anger and asked again:
"Uncle San, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Shuyan silently repeated, "Numerology is a philosophy that trains thinking logic..."
"Where did he see it from?"
"This is what my classmate Chen Sanlang said. I remember it very clearly and it can't be wrong! But I don't understand what philosophy is. I want to ask Uncle San."
"Philosophy?" "What is philosophy?"
The others asked each other suspiciously, and looked at Wang Shuyan with eager eyes.
"Did Chen Sanlang say that he was special in his daily life?"
"Special? If there's anything special about him, it's that he's sometimes very smart. A bit like Jin'er, who seems to know everything, and..."
"How to say?"
"I can't say for sure, anyway..."
I, Wendong, lowered my head silently. "Anyway, I have that feeling again. I feel that compared to them, I am extremely stupid. I can't do anything. I learn slowly and react slowly..."
Wang Wendong's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and he slowly lowered his head.
The nephew's seemingly casual words diverted Wang Shuyan's attention again.
Wang Shuyan wondered why he had to call his nephews here today?
That's right, I want to remind them to be careful of someone who deliberately approaches the Wang family! No, it's Chen Sanlang who deliberately...
"Have you all met Chen Sanlang?"
"I've seen it."
"We all know him. Uncle San, do you know him too?"
Several nephews nodded, and Wang Shuyan suddenly came to his senses. No matter how excellent Chen Sanlang's knowledge was, the fact that he deliberately approached the Wang family was...
