Chapter 445: The Scholar's Daughter Who Was Drained of Everything and Died Tragically (1)
Knowing that he could not get any benefit from Li Linlang, Hou Yaozong immediately forgot about Li Linlang, including Li Fan, whom he wanted to please at the beginning.
Since he couldn't get what he wanted from the Li family, Hou Yaozong planned to take his wife, the daughter of the Minister of Justice, whom he married in his previous life, as soon as possible in this life.
The Minister of Justice’s family name is Meng, and they come from an old aristocratic family in Beijing.
Although the current Minister of Justice cannot match Li Fan's achievements, the family power behind him is also beyond Li Fan's reach. However, Li Fan is smart and has supported the emperor early on.
Therefore, if Hou Yaozong could really get close to the family of the Minister of Justice again, it would definitely be of great benefit to him in this life.
Although Hou Yaozong died early in his previous life, he had lived closely with the eldest daughter of the Minister of Justice for several years and knew her preferences well enough.
He knew that every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, Miss Meng would go to Ci'en Temple outside the city to burn incense and pray for blessings. To put it bluntly, she just went there to have fun.
The fifteenth day of the lunar month was approaching, and Hou Yaozong specially made a new set of clothes, planning to go to Ci'en Temple to meet Miss Meng by chance on that day.
As for the Spring Examination which is less than a month away, Hou Yaozong, who has memories of his past life, said there is no problem at all.
The exam questions in his previous life were about water conservancy engineering. Hou Yaozong not only wrote down the essays he had passed in his previous life, he even wrote down the top scorer's essays in his previous life, and wrote down the relevant ones several times as a backup. Therefore, he was not worried at all about the upcoming spring exam.
That night, Li Fan returned home before dark, which was a rare occasion.
Liu Yufei told him about Hou Yaozong's request for a meeting, and also about how Hou Yaozong coveted Xiao Linlang.
Li Fan snorted coldly, "It's just a grasshopper in autumn, no need to worry about it."
Liu Yufei naturally knew about it, but she just told it out of boredom.
She knew that the emperor had consulted Li Fan to decide the test questions for this spring examination.
With Li Fan in this life, Li Fan wrote many constructive suggestions to the emperor, whether in agriculture or water conservancy, and personally went to the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue to bring people to do it.
If there was no Li Fan in the previous life, the water conservancy problem would have never been properly solved, so the emperor would use water conservancy as a test question in the end.
But in this life, these hidden dangers are gone, and the test questions have naturally changed.
Unfortunately, Hou Yaozong was too conceited and believed too much in his memories of his past life. After arriving in the capital, although he knew that Li Fan had rotated through four divisions, he did not carefully understand what Li Fan had done.
If he only knew a little more, he wouldn't have such ridiculous ideas now.
Unfortunately, Hou Yaozong didn’t know.
So, he was dressing up in a dashing manner and preparing to go to Ci'en Temple to meet his stepwife from his previous life.
Liu Yufei naturally knew Hou Yaozong's plan. She did not go to inspect the shops, but directly left the task to her eldest daughter, who watched Hou Yaozong's bloody operations through the surveillance cameras at home.
The peach trees in the back hills of Ci'en Temple are in full bloom in spring.
The peach blossoms are all pink, so romantic.
Miss Meng and her personal maid were strolling in the peach forest.
A breeze blew, and petals fluttered down on Miss Meng's body, like a peach blossom fairy.
Of course, this is all what Hou Yaozong saw.
Looking at Miss Meng surrounded by pink, her originally 50% beauty was enhanced to 80% by the pink peach blossoms.
Hou Yaozong touched his chin unconsciously. Although this young lady of the Meng family was not as beautiful as Li Linlang, she was still barely a pretty lady. She was more than qualified to be a match for a 'child prodigy' like himself in this life!
Liu Yufei looked at Hou Yaozong's "Pu Xin" look and couldn't help but be amazed. She didn't know who gave him the courage!
When young ladies go out, the area will naturally be cleared. Even if the area is not cleared, there will be people to check whether the environment in which the young ladies travel is safe.
Therefore, Hou Yaozong never thought about being a hero to save the beauty. It was unrealistic.
He adjusted his sky blue robe. In his previous life, Miss Meng once said that she liked to see him wearing sky blue robes the most, so she made a lot of them for Hou Yaozong later.
This time, Hou Yaozong specially ordered one just for the chance encounter with Miss Meng today.
The peach forest on the back mountain of Ci'en Temple is not a whole piece, but is separated by a small wall in the middle. It is said that it was used to separate male and female guests at the time, but later it was gradually no longer a concern.
Hou Yaozong was now standing on the other side of the wall. He was tall and could easily see Meng Fangjiao's walking route.
Seeing Meng Fangjiao and her maid walking towards the corner of the low wall, Hou Yaozong straightened his clothes and walked towards the corner.
"oops!"
"what!"
