In the middle of summer, the sun is shining.
In Fengzhou, the Backhouse of Wei's family's big house has been splashed with well water. In less than a moment, it has disappeared, and even a few drops of prints can't be seen. On the contrary, under the bright sunlight, countless summer dust were flying in the whole court, which was more and more sticky by the south wind. Brushed the body, did not feel cool, as if dragged into the invisible swamp, can not say boring.
Today's Wei Dynasty is very important. The Wei family lives in Fengzhou. Its ancestral origins can be traced back to the middle ages. In the past hundreds of years, many talented people have emerged in large numbers, which is one of the top six threshold reading in the world. Such a famous family should cherish feathers. When it's hot, people who don't use ice are told to stay in the shade as much as possible to avoid heatstroke. This practice gained a good reputation of being considerate to the people in the city.
At this moment, the whole courtyard is quiet. Occasionally, there are a few leaky cicadas, adding to the depth.
The yard in front of the main house of the back house is very wide. In the southeast corner of the yard, a camphor tree with two or three people hugging each other has luxuriant branches and leaves, covering most of the yard with a shade of trees - it's just a shade of trees. In May of Fengzhou, even under the trees, it's hard to add a cool word behind the shade.
Under the blazing sun, which was not covered by black camphor wood, a man and a woman knelt down one by one, and spoke softly under the cover of cicadas.
Standing is a young man. He is 14 or 15 years old. He is tall, with narrow arms and bee waist. He is a little childish.
At the moment, I can't open my eyes because of the scorching sun. I can't help wiping the rain like the sweat flowing down. I look worried and have no choice but to lower my voice Mother used the rice and ordered a rest. Before that, I sent someone to call green room to my grandmother, saying that you have something to do today, and I won't go to ask my grandmother to say good-bye for a while. My grandmother has already made it. According to me, I'd better make a mistake with my mother first, or I'll kneel until after supper. How can I stand it? "
"I'm not." The girl who is kneeling upright is a little longer than the teenager. Her hair is dark and bright. The goose face of her standard beauty is crystal clear. Her nose is straight. Her lips are not dyed and red. Her eyebrows are not painted but Dai. She is bright and beautiful.
After kneeling for more than an hour in the hot sun, her eyes were still bright and bright, which made her more energetic. Because of the exposure, her skin was as white as snow and jade as rouge, and her eyes were bright and bright. A small half of her narrow sleeves are now full of color. From the forehead to the back of her ears, a wisp of hair is stuck on her cheek by sweat. Water drops drop on the green fairy skirt along the beautiful chin of the arc. Now there are more than a dozen dark green spots on the train - it's just not done yet.
Nevertheless, Ying, the eldest miss of the Wei family, still does not want to repent. She raises her chin slightly, hooks her mouth slightly, and is very determined. "It's so hot, I kneel in the sun again. Wait and see. Where can my mother sleep? It won't be long before they send for me. "
"But green room goes to grandma's place..." Her brother, Wei Changfeng, the fifth son of the Wei family, did not agree with her, and frowned to remind them that since their mother asked his maid, LvFang, to go and tell my husband that they would not ask him to go before dinner, it was obvious that Wei Changying's punishment of kneeling would not end before dinner.
Wei Changying doesn't think so, and says, "not to scare me?"
"But you've been kneeling for more than an hour." Wei Changfeng said helplessly, "it's so hot. I'm going to faint when I talk to you here. Now even the servants are hiding in the house and pouring water into the well. Why?"
"Go down to the shade." Wei Changying glances at him and wipes his face with his sleeve at will. The sleeve of the ethereal color suddenly becomes jade. She doesn't care about it, and says, "you don't like me to practice martial arts with Jiang Bo since I was a child, and you can stand on your knees for another hour!"
Compared with her, Wei Changfeng held up his sleeve awkwardly for shade and said to her bitterly: "in fact, as I said, you are a girl's family, and our family is from literature. What do you have to do to practice martial arts? Nowadays, the world is not peaceful. But our Wei family is a family with the surname of Fengzhou. It's a first-class family in the Central Plains. It's not difficult for a family like us to survive the war. Although our family has followed the culture of the past generations, it's not that there is no private guard. Is elder sister expecting to protect herself in the future? "
His voice was low. "Besides, elder sister, you are going to be out of the cabinet next year. In the past, the Shen family of Xiliang has taken charge of the army to control the Di people Don't worry, I heard that my grandmother occasionally mentioned that Shen Zanfeng was a top martial arts group. Last year, before the imperial court, he fought the children of Liu clan of Donghu and Su clan of Qingzhou with one enemy and ten enemies. Now Rong and di are ready to fight. There are several groups of bandits on the way from Fengzhou to Jingji. When he comes to Fengzhou to meet his relatives, what's the big sister afraid of? "
"Stupid!" Wei Chang Ying glared at him and whispered, "it's because the soldiers of the Shen family in Xiliang have been in charge of military affairs. All the men in their family are practicing martial arts. Especially Shen zangfeng, since he was three or four years old, I've grown up listening to his outstanding martial arts, so I have to work hard and dare not relax my martial arts. Otherwise, you think I'm willing to suffer from this! "
"What?" said Wei Changfeng
"Why don't you think about it?" Wei Changying said solemnly, "the Shen family, like Qingzhou Su and Donghu Liu, originally passed on martial arts. It is expected that the style of the door is extremely fierce. My fiance is said to be the best in the Shen family! I think the martial arts are excellent... ""Isn't that good?" Wei Changfeng said in a daze, "if he is not good, how could grandfather have promised his eldest sister to him? How can we have such a good marriage? "
"I mean," said Wei Changying angrily! Such a warrior is mostly grumpy and rude! Easy to be angry and aggressive! In case I come out of the cabinet, I may have a few words with him for a small matter, or I don't know that he likes to do something wrong. He is not happy. He catches me up and beats me. What if I am a weak woman with no power to bind a chicken?! Even if he made an apology afterwards, didn't I suffer a loss and be wronged first? "
Wei Changfeng was stunned and wiped his hands and said: "how can it be?! Eldest sister, you are the eldest daughter of our Wei family. He married Yuanpei in the name of matchmaker. He didn't buy the maid who entered the door for several liang of silver. How dare he beat eldest sister? When there is no one in our Wei family! "
"Hum! These men are the most irascible. However, where can they control the fire? Are you the right wife or concubine? What's more, whether it's the capital of the emperor or Xiliang, it's far away from Fengzhou. It's hard to count on her family for the next time. " Wei Changying clenched his fist, his eyes flashed with fortitude, and sneered, "even if he doesn't move me, what should I do in case he has a concubine on the left and a concubine on the right holding a maid later?"
Wei Changfeng said: "this This I don't like those toys. He bought them and you sold them, right? What does it have to do with martial arts? "
"If so, shall I not fall into the name of envy?" Wei Changying said with a sneer, "what's more, when I buy and sell, I'll lose money that should have come to me? Besides, I'm not cousin song. I can't learn the so-called means of turning the spring breeze into the rain. I'll think about it. There's only one way for such a son-in-law to compete with those foxes who dare to climb the bed! "
She glanced at her younger brother, her lips lifted, and said, "fight!"
Wei Changfeng is astonished!
"Shen zangfeng will dare to take a concubine in the future. He said, I can't beat him for three days!" Wei Changying slowly pinched a pair of delicate jade hands into a crispy sound. Her face was full of murderous gas and haze. She said fiercely, "he really dare to bring people into the door, close the door and I will break his leg! He dares to go out with prostitutes and stay in prostitutes. I call him a drug pot forever! "
"Not only that, but I don't like rude fighters! No matter what he used to like, all in all, I have to tell him how to live in the future! " Wei Changying proudly said, "I don't like the preferences he must give me all changed!"! Fight to death if you don't change! He has to cultivate all my favorite hobbies. If he doesn't, I will fight to death! "
Wei Changfeng looked at the murderous elder sister in horror, and silently reminded: "elder sister, what we pay attention to now is that women should keep three obediences and four virtues, you You do... "
"I know!" Wei Changying said scornfully, "am I so stupid? I have an idea! "
Wei Changfeng was relieved and listened to her continue: "before I hit him, I will close the door!"
“!!!!!” Wei Changfeng is about to spit blood. "What's the idea?"
Wei Changying smiled contemptuously: "as long as no one outside knows, who knows that I am pretending to be virtuous and virtuous?"
“…… Elder sister, are you sure you can beat Shen Zanfeng? " Wei Changfeng groaned and said, "how could you have such a ridiculous idea? How can I say that Shen zangfeng is also a man, and he is two years older than your elder sister. If you can't even deal with it, isn't this martial art a waste of learning? "
Wei Chang Ying hum said: "you don't understand, five younger brothers. The Shen family used to be in charge of soldiers and often fought with Qiudi. They called it martial arts. One is the art of war. The second is the skill of rushing to kill immediately before the battle. Why don't I choose someone else to study with Jiang Bo in our family's guard? It's because Jiangbo is the best at close combat! "
She said proudly, "since Shen zangfeng is called the leader of the sons of Shen family, it is expected that both the art of war and the technique of fighting before the battle are good. But since I was five years old, I have been working hard for 12 years. I have been listening to the chicken for a long time. Even the poetess and the book of songs are just by the way. All my efforts have been spent on close combat. Anyway, I don't want to fight with Shen Cangfeng. I just need to fight closely. He needs to be distracted at least. I can focus all my energy on this. I can't clean him up if I practice so hard! "
Thinking of the hard work of the past 12 years, Wei Changying sighed and murmured, "have I had an easy time these years? If you don't talk about it, just say that if you practice martial arts hard, you will surely get a cocoon. In order to get rid of the cocoon, every day I am exhausted after hard practice, but I still have to insist on the medicine bath, and then ask the maid to take the cream that nourishes the skin and rub it carefully In this way, you can not only keep practicing, but also keep your skin delicate Is it not for the sake of a better life in the future? "
For a long time, Wei Changfeng said: "elder sister, what my mother has asked you to learn now is not to make you feel better after you leave the cabinet? Next year you will be out of the cabinet... "
"Yes!" said Wei Changying angrily! I'll be out next year. Now it's a crucial time, but my mother is thinking about calling me to mend the needlework and cook. These two embroiderers and cooks can be compared with me. How can I practice Professor Jiang Bo's fighting skills skillfully? It's important to defeat Shen Zang Feng in private at that time! ""But elder sister, even if you beat Shen zangfeng to be afraid of you, you can't ask him to host the central feeder in person, can you?" Wei Changfeng took a deep breath and said, "there are no concubines in the backyard. Elder sister, you must also take care of the account books of the servants, right? Shen zangfeng has been mended by his father's shadow into the third guard's Pro guard several years ago. It's impossible to stay at home all day long. Elder sister, you don't learn anything except martial arts. What can you do if you can't even manage your back house? Does elder sister want to be said to be brave and resourceless? "
Wei Changying said contemptuously, "you can learn from hosting Zhongfen and taking care of the backyard. When you leave the pavilion, you can borrow mammy Shi from your mother for several years. Isn't it enough for me to learn?"? But it's the first thing to subdue my husband. It's better to be brave for a while than to be in charge or not! "
Wei Changfeng groaned again and said: "elder sister, are you subdued? You subdue people alive - even if you can subdue people, can Shen Zanfeng hold a grudge against you? After all, it's the right way to be happy, isn't it? "
"My grandfather appointed me such a warrior because of one-sided fate!" Wei Changying glared at him severely, and whispered, "I'll be fine if I don't wail and cry. Are you still in love? It's just the life of the elder. I can't disobey it. Since I was young, I can think of the sweetest day in the future, that is, I've beaten him obediently all my life, so I won't be angry! Love each other How can I like that kind of warrior! I don't like him. Does it matter that he doesn't like me? It's important - he has to be obedient! "
Wei Changying solemnly told his younger brother: "so my mother told me to kneel for ten more hours, and I would not learn from those needlework trivia. Kneel here, I have the right to practice my body and bones!"! I don't believe that my mother can endure. She is in pain, and must respond to me, so that I won't be bothered by those things next! You can't stand the sun. Hurry up, or my mother will send someone out to see you. I'm sorry to persuade me to go in! "
