V1.Chapter 16

Wei Huan is really tired. He has been away from home for nearly a month. It's so easy to come back. He didn't call for reunion for dinner. He just used it with old lady song in a hurry to let the rooms not be disturbed.

On the side of the big room, Wei Zhenghong is weak and lives in a yard for rest. He and his wife and children meet for a month. Usually, Mrs. song leads the eldest daughter and the second son to eat. Although there is a Song Dynasty living in the water in the big room now, Song Dynasty living in the water is growing up in the capital and the south of the Yangtze River. The taste is different from that of Wei's family. Song Zaishui went back to the capital of the emperor from the south of the Yangtze River. The old man of the Song family loved her and sent her the cook she used to. There was a small kitchen right after mingse's house. So after living for a long time, he only came here occasionally to use it together.

Today, for example, song didn't come to the water. Mrs. song loved her children very much. The rules were not very strict when eating. She allowed her children to gossip while eating.

At the table, Wei Changying asked Wei Changfeng, "how is your homework today?"

"My grandfather said that I had learned my previous lessons very well. I can teach you new lessons tomorrow." Wei Changfeng's calm way, Wei Changying is recognized as a villain, but Wei Changfeng is famous for making the elders worry less. But in fact, the two brothers and sisters are similar in some places, such as hard work. The way out for Wei Changying is to practice martial arts well and defeat her husband. He has to be able to endure hardships in martial arts practice. From the age of five, he has been in constant heat and cold. While Wei Changfeng was taught by the old lady of song and the lady of song when he was young. He should take the rise and fall of Wei as his duty. He has been studying hard since he was a child. His talent is good. Since he is willing to work hard, there is no reason why he can't learn well.

Where can the person with good study be afraid of examination? I wish I could be tested every day.

Wei Changying said: "what about Gaochuan? Let uncle Zhijiao teach you a new lesson and then tell him the old one? I'm afraid I don't like it. "

The Wei family of Fengzhou is proud of its literary style and flourished. During the Wei Dynasty, great scholars were born from generation to generation to teach their children that they would not hire people from outside the family. Wei Changfeng and Wei Gaochuan are now taught by a distant son of the Wei family. In terms of seniority, they are the generation of Wei Zhenghong. The name of this man is ancient and the word is immortal. He takes the study quality Jiao Zhai as his name. He is well-known at home and abroad for his good learning. They are all respected as the master of the study quality Jiao Zhai.

Therefore, Wei Changying and others privately call them the uncle of the Zijiao nationality - after all, the Wei family has been multiplying for hundreds of years, and there are many children. According to the branches and houses, everyone has a number of different rankings and names, so it's easier to call them simply and clearly.

"The fourth brother didn't recite a piece of Fu. He was punished by his grandfather to copy it a hundred times." When asked about Wei Gaochuan, Wei Changfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "grandfather means to let the fourth brother review his books first, and ask him if he doesn't understand. Let him teach me a new lesson first."

When Mrs. song listened to her children's words, she said, "it's really hard for your three aunts to work hard and serve your grandmother all day long. That's why your grandmother agreed that the eldest son in the third room should be instructed by your grandfather himself. I didn't expect this thing to be so disheartening. Changfeng, you can't learn from him. " Then he said, "your grandfather asked Wei Yongshi to teach you a new lesson first, or I will talk to your three aunts."

She is such a son that can count on. If she delays Wei Changfeng in order to take care of Wei Gaochuan's progress, where can Mrs. song give up? Moreover, Mrs. song is a strong person, and Wei Gaochuan's submissive appearance is despised by her.

But Wei Changfeng said positively: "mother, I don't think the fourth brother intentionally refuses to learn well, he really can't remember. I heard from people around him that the piece of Fu he couldn't recite in front of his grandfather today was recited from ten days ago, but he couldn't remember it. Therefore, we can't say that the fourth brother is not good. I'm afraid it's because of his talent, but we have nothing to do with it. In the end, we can't blame the fourth brother. "

If someone else said that, Mrs. song would have been furious. Even the old man of Song said that Mrs. song was more or less unhappy, but now she was talking about her beloved son. So Mrs. song didn't take Wei Changfeng's Refutation to heart at all. Instead, she said happily, "my son loves his brother, is broad-minded, and will become a great weapon in the future!"

It's no surprise that mammy Shi and other people have long been reluctant to turn their backs and snigger. However, Wei Changfeng felt that he was too rude to his mother, and apologized: "my mother keeps up and down at home. I don't know that the fourth brother's slow homework is not due to carelessness, but also inevitable. It's my son who speaks too fast. I hope my mother will forgive me."

Hearing this, madam song was more satisfied with her son: "my son, how can I blame you for my mother? What's more, my mother just wronged Gao Chuan and spread it out. I didn't hurt the child. I'm sorry that my son told me. "

Wei Changying is impatient to listen to Wei Gaochuan's story. He chimes in, "did grandfather talk to you about Liaocheng?"

"Of course not," said Wei. The grandparents were very tired. After passing our exams, they told us to leave and go inside to have a rest Elder sister, what do you want to do with this? "

"Liaocheng looks north at Donghu, isn't it the Rong people who have invaded Fengzhou?" Since Wei Changying is good at martial arts, he has occasionally read two books on the art of war. Although he has a quick look and a half understanding, he can understand some of them. He immediately thought more about Liaocheng's urgent report and said, "otherwise, how could grandfather come back in such a hurry? Even the bandits from fengqishan who ate the heart of bear and the courage of leopard didn't kill them all? How close is fengqishan to our city! "

Mrs. song hated her daughter's concern for these military and political affairs. She thought it was a performance of not doing business. She scolded her daughter lightly: "Donghu is the hometown of Liu's family. Now there is no bad news from Liu's family. How can Rong people enter Fengzhou through Donghu so easily?"Then he said to his daughter, "what's more, your grandfather and uncle are worried about Rongren's failure to commit crimes in Fengzhou. What's the matter with your girl's family? You'd better learn some needlework well if you have this Kung Fu! "

Wei Changying was used to this kind of words for a long time. He said: "I'm worried about my grandfather and uncle! What's more, Rong people came to Fengzhou from the gap of Liu's garrison without precedent. I heard that before I was born, it was like this once. Although the two hundred soldiers who sneaked over were all blocked in Xincheng, a key town in the northeast of Fengzhou, and no one survived at last, before they were surrounded by Xincheng, several towns in the northern part of Fengzhou were also desolated from burning, killing and looting all the way across nuchuan. Jingguan alone built several. At that time, Liaocheng kept it! "

Madame song stared and said, "so do you think it's useful here? Can you line up or go to battle to kill the enemy? " He immediately felt that he was too cruel to his daughter, so he slowed down his voice and said, "this is not a small matter! Think about it. If you spread this conjecture, whether it is true or not, how can Fengzhou not make a fuss when it knows that Rong people are coming? When the time comes, people's hearts will be in trouble. Do you think it's something that can make people laugh? "

“…… I'll talk about it here. " Wei Changying was also right when he thought about it. He confessed awkwardly, "I didn't expect that it would frighten the common people when it came out. My mother reminded me very well. I won't say that."

She suddenly thought of an idea and said, "mother, cousin doesn't want to go back to the imperial capital to be crown princess. If this news is true now, can I take this opportunity to let cousin stay in our house again?"

"This child!" said Madame song, frowning at her words

Although he said so, Wei Changying, who was very good at guessing his mother's real mood, heard that Mrs. song didn't force song Zaishui to return to the capital immediately, so he strongly urged: "it's better for mother to write to uncle and say that Liaocheng is in a hurry. It's suspected that Rong people have invaded.". From Fengzhou city to the imperial capital, even if the fast horse can't leave Fengzhou in two days, it's still all the way to the north. My cousin can't ride a horse, and it's even slower to ride a carriage. How can our family afford to do something in case of anything? My uncle may not be able to rest assured, so he will probably allow his cousin to return to the capital. "

Madame song sighed: "it's impossible to drag like this! Besides, what if Liaocheng is not invaded by Rong people? How can this lie about the military? Although your uncle is not a commander in chief, he is not difficult to find out the real military situation. Don't make him more angry at that time. He can't take you for anything and attack your cousin. "

"In fact, I'm just weird. In terms of wealth, our six valve deposits are deeper than the royal family of Wei Dynasty! There is nothing in the palace, but we other people may not have it. " Wei Chang Ying turned his mouth and said, "and my uncle is not a man who clings to wealth with all his heart, right? Why do I have to force my cousin to marry the prince? Today's Prince is not a good match. I've heard from my cousin that there are many favourites in the east palace now, including four or five grandsons. Cousin married in the past, even if she was the prince and concubine of the scenery, but her identity as the first daughter of the Song family is not bad! What's the trouble? "

As soon as the voice was low, "and I heard that the position of the empress seems to be unstable now. The prince's highness was set up because of her mother's favor. Once the empress's mother was abandoned, I'm afraid that the prince's highness is the same as the previous several abandoned princes At that time, cousin... "

"Don't say more!" said Madame song

Wei Changying pesters: "why does uncle have to be cousin's crown princess?"

"Your uncle has always promised." Mrs. song frowned with a haze on her face and said, "OK, I'll write to him to explain that she doesn't want to marry in the east palace Don't make any noise! "

Wei Chang Ying asked suspiciously, "will my uncle agree? My cousin has written several letters. "

"How do I know?" said Madame song? I haven't written yet! But I am always a younger generation and daughter in water, but I am your uncle's sister. Your uncle will listen to my words. "

Obviously, she didn't want to talk about it more. Once she pushed the cup, she sent someone to tea.

After the meal, Wei Changying went back to nianshuangting, and when he went in, he saw Zhu Shi's little maids gathered together under the steps in a circle, peeling something together. He always urged his maids to stand on the corridor and look at it, which was also a smile. "What are you doing?" she asked curiously

"Ah, the eldest lady is back!" Hearing this, they all lost what they had in their hands. They wiped their hands on the veil and came up to see the ceremony.

He Shiying stepped down and said kindly, "how early is the eldest lady coming back today? The sour plum soup for consumption is not cool now. "

"Never mind. I'm not thirsty." Wei Changying points to several small baskets under the finger gallery. It's going to be late. Although the Wei family is rich, they also advocate economy. Since the master is not here, he hasn't turned on the light at this time, and after a few steps, he can't see the contents of the baskets clearly. He asks, "what is it? Why do so many people get together? "

He said: "Zhu Shi and Zhu Xuan just got free and went to the garden to play with water. So I picked up a big handful of wild water chestnut and came back. I took my skirt and wrapped it around it. I dyed the two new Lotus silk skirts. These two little hooves were so forgetful that I cried a few times. I invited you to peel and eat them together. "Wei Changying said: "picked in the garden? I haven't noticed. Are wild water chestnut the same as red water chestnut? "

"It's not the same, whether the fruit is plump or the number of rubies." He said, "this wild water chestnut just picked a maid with Zhu Shi. She chose one for a long time, and the biggest one was less than two-thirds of that of Hongling. Taste? It's sweet and refreshing. When pinching it, I don't touch the juice of the shell carefully. It's also full of astringency and bitterness. It's not as sweet and crisp as it was when Hong Ling was raw and soft and waxy when it was cooked. It's just for eating fresh. "

Wei Changying is interested: "give me some, too."

Zhu Shi answered with a smile and ran to the corridor to get a blue ground sea bowl of apricot flowers. He said: "it's a coincidence that the maids came back. They just peeled most of the bowls and didn't catch up with them. Now they are all filial to her."

He heard the words and spat: "the eyelids are shallow! I'm afraid the eldest lady doesn't remember your filial piety? It should also be mentioned in a special way that you are all the people who serve the eldest lady. It is also appropriate to peel ten bowls and eight bowls for the eldest lady. "

Zhu Shi, he's niece, is not afraid of her, though she has taught her a lesson. The little maid put out her tongue and chuckled: "aunt is so fierce. Where is the maidservant performing with the eldest lady? Isn't that to say that the eldest lady has a happy mouth? "

He taught Zhu real time that Wei Changying had picked up a piece of lingrou, and nodded, "it's Qingtian, different from Hongling."

Green room on the proposal: "since there is a garden, then every day to prepare a bowl of elder sister?"

"That's it!" Wei Changying points to Zhu Shi's bowl. "Take it in, and you'll have a good time talking."

"Go and soak the water in the well, or it will be dried up." Zhu Shi said busily.

Wei Chang Ying nodded contentedly: "you've stripped me for such a long time, but it's cheaper for me. I can't make you happy. Tomorrow I'll ask the kitchen to give you a portion of my dessert."

Everyone smiled and thanked. They went in with Wei Changying.

[Note 1] Beijing view: in ancient times, in order to show off their martial arts, frighten the enemy and show their ferocity, the shape of the pyramid made of the dead body of the enemy and the earth was placed in a prominent place on the roadside or the gate. I remember several years ago I saw another way of saying that it was built with the head. Each head was piled into a tower. It was a grey devil cult style! Well, imagine for yourself.

[Note 2] wild water chestnut: I don't know how good I am. It doesn't sell well. It's only one finger, but I always think it's better than red water chestnut.
