The two brothers couldn't help frowning. The border was very dangerous. Dad didn't give the eldest brother a buffer, so he took him to the battlefield.
The second child saw his mother frowning and said with relief: "It's okay, mother, father is so powerful, he will definitely be optimistic about eldest brother, they will be fine."
The third one also nodded, "Yes, Big Brother might be too happy!"
Pei Xiu glanced at him angrily, "You know your elder brother best."
"Hehe, isn't this obvious, you don't have to guess, everyone knows that Big Brother must be happy and stupid."
She shook her head lightly and looked at the second child, "How is Zhou Shan? Is the wind and cold severe?"
"It looks very serious. It's only been one night, and the whole person is haggard. He coughs twice from time to time. I heard that I had a fever last night, and it is estimated that I have to lie down for a few days."
"Why is it so serious all of a sudden?" Pei Xiu frowned.
"I don't know. It may be that the evil wind entered the body. It may be that the atmosphere has not been good recently. The Beijing Medical Center has been full every day recently, and some queues have formed before dawn."
When they went to Zhou Shan's house after school, they saw that the hospital was full of people along the way.
"This year's snow disaster has affected too much. I hope it will be sunny for a few days and the temperature will rise sooner. You should also add an extra piece of clothes, and bring a hand warmer when you enter and leave. The cold will be contagious. It's best to keep a distance from your classmates."
"I know mother."
"Let's eat first, the food is warm for you."
The second child scratched his head and said with a smile, "We have eaten at the Huainan Palace."
The third child added, "Not long after entering the house, Zhou Shan had dinner, and then he instructed the kitchen to prepare one for us as well."
Pei Xiu pursed her lips, "You really don't see it, so forget it after eating it."
"Hee hee, who are we and Zhou Shan, don't be polite, and we just eat in Zhou Shan's courtyard, there's nothing to be ashamed of."
"Okay, then go back to the house and do your homework."
After the children left, she went to open the warehouse and picked some precious medicinal materials to send to the Huainan Palace tomorrow.
Although the Huainan Palace has everything and lacks everything, this is also her heart.
By the way, I will send two almond cakes to Princess Zaiyuqing that she likes.
Wheat listened to it, and said in a heartbeat: "Mother, can I make a cake for Yuqing myself?"
"Do it yourself? You will?"
"I think I will!"
The brothers went to school, and she would go to the cake room every day in her spare time.
It's another matter if you steal it or not, but she really knows the steps to make a cake. After all, after watching it for a long time, it's normal for her eyes to see.
Whether the hand will work or not, remains to be verified.
Pei Xiu didn't believe that she would, but she was shocked today, and she was not in the mood to accompany her to make cakes.
"Mother is not in the mood to play with you today. I'll make cakes with you in two days."
"It doesn't matter, mother, you can go back to the house and rest. I will go to the cake room by myself. It is enough to have the cook to help me."
She was worried that she would not be able to make a mess, and someone else would clean up the mess for her.
Ginkgo said from the side, "Madam, let this servant accompany the girl and ask a cook to help teach the girl to do it. The girl must be sensible enough."
Looking at Mai's eager eyes, she still nodded.
"Okay, then you go, don't be naughty."
Wheat nodded happily, "Well, I'll just be obediently making cakes and not being mischievous."
"There's only one hour, then come back to sleep."
"Mother I know."
She held Ginkgo's hand and jumped out happily.
Pei Xiu rubbed her painful temple and went back to the room to lie down.
On the second day, she explained to the official family, pay more attention to the street news, and if there is news of the border war, she will report it to her as soon as possible.
Zhou Cheng had already set out on the expedition alone, so she wasn't so worried. With the addition of an eldest son, she couldn't help but worry.
In the end, instead of waiting for the news of the war, I waited for the news of Chen Jiaming!
She thought that Zhou Cheng had gone to the border gate, and there was no way to deal with him, but she didn't expect to leave behind!
"Ma'am, Yu Moxuan posted two identical articles this morning, but with different handwriting, saying that they wanted two students to confront each other."
"Oh?"
Pei Xiu is a little curious, is there anything strange, it is worth the housekeeper to come over to report it?
"I heard that the article is exactly the same, but it was contributed by two different people. They cast a wide net in the capital, but they didn't expect that the two of them would submit the article to Zhang Xueshi of Guozijian at the same time."
"Xue Shi originally liked that article very much, but he didn't expect to find the exact same copy again."
"When he saw the signature, it was two different students who submitted the manuscript. He was immediately angry. He felt that one of them must be the one who stole the manuscript and stole other people's articles. This is a serious moral problem for scholars!"
"So, Zhang Xueshi ordered someone to check the identities of these two people. Today, he also posted two identical articles with different handwritings to let them confront each other."
Pei Xiu was pleasantly surprised, it was definitely Chen Jiaming who stole someone else's article.
I heard that after he came to the capital, he didn't spend much time in the yard reading books. He kept making friends with scholars outside, or asking people about the young ladies of the big families in the capital...
After being beaten by Master Yu, he was not afraid of death and tried to use his brain again!
This kind of heart has been dissipated, how can it be possible to write good articles?
"Has it started yet?"
"I heard that the two of you will face off at the right time!"
"Prepare the carriage, I'll go take a look."
She was really curious about this, and she hadn't gone out for a long time, so she just went out for a walk!
"Yes, ma'am."
After comforting the wheat who wanted to follow, she went to Yumoxuan.
Yumoxuan is the elegant room that literati and scholars in Beijing love to go to. In the past, various poetry gatherings were held in Yumoxuan, and scholars and scholars also liked to come here to exchange experiences such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Yesterday, everyone heard that some students were stealing other people's articles, but luckily, they voted for Zhang Xueshi of Guozijian at the same time.
Zhang Xueshi publicly let the two confront each other today, in the spirit of being an official official!
It just happened to be during the spring season~ this morning attracted a large number of students to squeeze into Yumoxuan.
When Pei Xiu arrived, the gate of Yumoxuan was already crowded with carriages, so she got off the carriage ahead of time and walked for a short distance.
With the help of Qingsong, he squeezed in, and the entire Yumoxuan was filled with scholars watching the fun.
They looked at the wall in front of them excitedly, and there were two articles with different handwriting but the same content.
The crowd was agitated and scolded people who did not swear to crusade plagiarism. The people who just came in didn't understand the situation. Under everyone's collective advice, everyone was also angry.
"This kind of person with flawed character should not exist in Shilin!"
"He was a scholar in vain, and he read books of sages in vain, and Confucius' face was humiliated by him!"
"The two must be friends, otherwise they will definitely not be able to steal."
"The person who wrote this article is too unlucky. They don't know people well enough to make such a friend!"
