Time Travel and Love

Chapter 514 Not worthy

"Hey! Number one scholar! We are just out for fun, why bother with etiquette?" Chu Qingmeng stopped him from bowing. If he shouted "Greetings to the Princess", Mo Yunting's plan would be half ruined.

Wang Dalin paused as he was about to salute. Yes, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, word spread throughout the streets that the eldest princess was under house arrest by the emperor. Now she must have sneaked out. If her identity was exposed, it would bring her unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, he stopped his movements, but he didn't know what to say. He awkwardly held the remaining string of candied haws in his hand and asked without thinking, "Miss, do you want to try some candied haws?"

His question confused Chu Qingmeng. "Young lady?" She then smiled helplessly, "You are too kind, Mr. Top Scholar. I don't deserve the name 'young lady'. Let's give these candied haws to the children."

Wang Dalin was a little dazed when he saw her smile. She also smiled so gently that day after she rescued him.

He stared at Chu Qingmeng so intently that Aunt Guihua had no choice but to step on him several times, but he didn't react. "Sister Chu, I'm sorry."

Chu Qingmeng replied nonchalantly, "Nothing, let's watch the show."

After saying that, he turned around and continued watching the show. Ling Xian pulled the man back to his side. Mo Yunting took a step forward, blocking Wang Dalin's gaze.

Mo Yunting's gaze was deep through the veil. This new number one scholar was silly and couldn't hide his thoughts at all. Maybe he could use some help?

The person he wanted to see was blocked by a black figure. Wang Dalin frowned slightly and came back to his senses. This figure looked so familiar.

"Father, that lantern is beautiful. I want one too." Chu Qingmeng, who was watching the iron flower making, suddenly fixed his eyes on a rabbit lantern held in the hand of a little girl. He turned sideways and pulled Ling Xian's sleeve and acted coquettishly.

"Pray for rain, go buy it." Ling Xian gave the order.

The people behind him left in response. Mo Yunting reached out and touched the hand warmer in Chu Qingmeng's arms. The temperature was only slightly warm at this time, so he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "The hand warmer is not hot anymore. Let's go to the private room of the restaurant to see if you can get better. Don't get sick again."

His voice was not loud, and Wang Dalin, who had no martial arts skills at all, could not hear it at all due to the distance between them.

Chu Qingmeng nodded, turned sideways and said goodbye to Aunt Guihua, "Aunt, I'm leaving first. It's too cold. I'm not in good health and can't bear it anymore."

Aunt Guihua waved her hand to signal her to hurry up. After they left, the eldest daughter-in-law, who had been following them, stared at Chu Qingmeng's back in a silver mink cloak and suddenly spoke in a sarcastic tone, "She's lucky to have been born into a good family. She's wearing such luxurious clothes and yet she keeps complaining about being cold. If you marry someone like her, she'll be treated like a deity!"

"Sister-in-law, please be careful with your words! You are not allowed to talk about her!" Wang Dalin still understood this rule. Talking about royal relatives privately is a capital crime.

"I have the mouth on my body, can't I say a few words? Besides, what I said is the truth! Look at the furs she is wearing, I'm afraid they can't be bought at least two hundred taels? She is so afraid of the cold, if she was born in our barren land, wouldn't she have died long ago?!" The more he said, the more outrageous it became.

"Sister-in-law! If you want to die, don't drag the whole family down with you!"

"you……"

"Alright! Shut up! What's it to you to care what others do? You're jealous. Hurry up and die so you can be reborn into a good family! Don't keep making trouble here!"

Aunt Guihua was still able to calm her daughter-in-law down and cursed her back with just two words. It was not the first day she knew that the girl from the Chu family came from a wealthy family.

At first, I just thought she married a wealthy man in the county, but I didn't expect that she married a wealthy man in the capital. Her family business must be quite big. At the time, she gave her the five hundred taels as if she was giving her a useless stone, without feeling sorry at all.

You know, the rich families in their town only managed to get one or two hundred taels, and they were considered wealthy.

Thinking back, she looked at her youngest son and sighed, "Don't even think about her getting married. Even if she's not married, she'll definitely look down on a peasant family like us. Forget it, you little bastard."

Wang Dalin didn't say anything. He knew the gap between them better than anyone else. Not to mention that she was the only eldest princess of Dayu Kingdom, nor that her husband was the general of the central army, not to mention that two of her three sons were officials in the same court with him, and there was also her brother who was a very high-ranking official.

Just talking about her as a person, he is not worthy of her. From her gentle smile, you can tell that she has never suffered.

And he had nothing.

Her health was not good, so she needed medicine to support herself. However, his meager salary was not enough to support her! He was a scholar supported by his family. The whole village raised money for him to take the imperial examination, and he had to repay his family.

He doesn't deserve her.

Wang Dalin hung his head with a lonely look on his face and had no interest in watching the performance anymore. He exuded frustration all over his body.

This scene fell into the eyes of Mo Yunting who was standing by the window. He frowned slightly and turned his head to look at Chu Qingmeng who was drinking milk tea and watching the iron flowers. He couldn't help but shook his head and chuckled. His little Chujiu was really attractive.

However, this editor from the Hanlin Academy could be put to use, and perhaps it would produce unexpected results.
