Chapter 98: Self-Reliance
Wei Yi knew that Pei Rang was in the place where she could not hear the conversation between their father and daughter, and could ensure that she could get there as soon as possible if there was anything, so she stood up before Wei Yi spoke: "Wait a minute. "Pick up the child and walk out, and hand him over to Pei Rang - amnesia does not mean that he will be stupid, and some words are still appropriate to carry him on his back.
But when Pei Rang took him, his little hand tightly grasped the hem of the guard's sleeve and refused to let go, and his big eyes were full of uneasy pleading.
This little look soaked Wei Jia's whole heart again, she used her other hand to pull out two maltose from the leather bag around her waist, held his little hand holding her sleeve, and gently put the maltose in his palm: "Play with my brother for a while, I'll be back soon." β
The child first looked at the maltose in his hand, then at Pei Rang, who was holding him, and finally turned his gaze to the guard, and nodded obediently.
Wei Jia petted his little head dotingly, and turned back to her father's room.
You don't have to face those big eyes that are cute, it is much more convenient to speak, and as soon as Wei Yi sat down, Wei Yi said the prepared rhetoric: " Ge, you are still young, not deeply involved in the world, many things are not as simple as you think, Nan Gong will educate you very well, let you know how to be compassionate and compassionate, and you are very pleased to be a father, but you must know that everything is too much, if you really like children so much, isn't there still Ah Yuan at home, and he is your dearest brother, why take unnecessary risks for a child of unknown origin, in case he really has any problems, I recognize him, it may affect the entire Wei family, after all, he is just one person, and the Wei family has hundreds, even if you don't think about me and your stepmother, but you also have to think about Yajia and Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan is only seven years oldHe reveres you so much...... Yes, I know that child is very pitiful, but there are many ways to let him live a good life, we don't have to adopt him ourselves, you can find a family with no children and no daughters, give them some money, and they will be happy to take him in, and besides, we are going to war now, and it is dangerous for you to take him with you......"
Wei Yi said so much bitterly, until his mouth was dry, and Wei Yi kept his head down from beginning to end, as if listening carefully, Wei Yi stopped for a while before she raised her head and smiled at Wei Yi: "Yun'er." β
"What?"
"Yun'a, Wei Yunβthe name I gave the kid. Wei Jian said aloud.
Wei Yi's expression froze for a moment, and then he was choked by his own saliva, his face was red and red with his fists covering his mouth, and he coughed for a long time, and said with difficulty: "Ge, listen to me, talk about ......"
Wei Jia didn't listen to him, she took out the half of the jade pendant, put it in front of Wei Yi's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I know my father's worries, and I can also hand it over to my father to Shidi, this is found from Yun'er, the Qiang people worship sheep, and the sheep pattern on this jade pendant is extremely chic." Turning the jade pendant over: "There are also these three curves, together, I think they are inseparable from the Xiqiang Yao clan." β
Wei Yi took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully by candlelight, and finally nodded affirmatively: "These three curves are indeed half of the word 'Yao', and this sheep pattern is also the symbol of Yao." Sit up straight and said: "So Ge, no matter how pitiful this kid is, we can't keep him, even if he has nothing to do with the Yao family, but at this juncture, once we take him in and make a big fuss about someone with a heart, I have already been on a business trip before, in case this battle can't be won completely, then this kid will become evidence of my Wei's collaboration with the enemy and treason...... Coupled with your uncle and Uncle Song, there are more than hundreds of lives, which is more important, you don't need me to say that you know. β
Wei Lang smiled and said, "In other words, as long as you guarantee that you will not affect the Wei family and win this battle, you can relieve your father's worries?"
Wei Yi hesitated: "This ......"
Wei Jian straightened his posture and said loudly: "Wei Jian is willing to make a military order with his father in black and white, if he loses this battle, he will come to see him!"
Her momentum made Wei Yi cowardly: "Song, there is no joke in the army, how can this kind of thing be said nonsense, in case it falls into the ears of others......"
Wei Jian interrupted him: "Wang's Eleventh Lang is very prestigious, and my father can ask him to come over as an overseer." β
Wei Yi was dumbfounded: "Song!"
Wei Jian raised his chin: "But if I win, my father will take Nuo'er as his adopted son." Take back the half of the jade pendant from Wei Yi's hand: "Of course, I also reassure my father, when he returns to Linyi in the future, I will not bring Yun'er into the Wei Mansion, let alone bother my stepmother to raise him, even if Yun'er is really related to Yao Kehui, with my Song to bear it, I will never cause any trouble to my father and the Wei family." Since it was her father who took the initiative to disclose that she was his "son", it would be much easier for her to act in the future, and she had bought the manor, and with the capital to stand on her own, she no longer had to rely on people's snorts, speak and do things, and her confidence was naturally enough, as for Yun'er, she would hide him and Yajia together, so that he could stay away from the rights and wrongs of this troubled world and grow up carefree.
Wei Yi stared at Wei Yi's expression, and finally sighed: "Since you insist like this, it is useless for me to say more, but don't mention the 'military order' or something, even if you want to enter that child into the yellow register, you have to wait until you go back to do it, and besides, a character like Wang's Shiyi Lang is not equally idle, how can you let the orphans picked up by Bandao ride in the same carriage with him, in case it spreads, it will make people criticize my Wei family for not understanding the rules, you still put that child in my carriage tomorrow." β
Wei Yu corrected: "Wei Yun, Yun'er, is not an 'orphan' or 'that child'. He added: "Then I will ask Zu Kuo to hire a carriage, and I will not trouble Wang Shiyi Lang again." β
Wei Yi said: "Oh, I still have some gold beads here, you can use them." As he spoke, he went to untie his waist bag.
Wei Jian had already stood up: "No need, I have money, and my father is not rich, so it's better to keep it for myself." Then he bowed respectfully: "It's not too early, my father is not in good health, so rest early." β
Wei Yi squeezed out the word "Chuan" between his eyebrows, and asked: "Where did you get the money?" After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Look at my brain, it's really not good, you came to find me, how can you do it without some money on you for such a long journey, was it given by your stepmother?" Now the family is in difficulty, or save some money, and don't hire the carriage, just let that child ...... Let Yuna and I squeeze in!"
Wei Ji said calmly: "I am using the dowry left by my mother now, not from my stepmother, but from my stepmother to help me come back, so my father doesn't need to worry about it, I am not short of money for the time being." β
Wei Yi was stunned, a complicated expression appeared on his face, and he snorted: "If it is a dowry, it is the ...... in the future" Look at Wei Yi dressed in men's clothes, and then think about how he sent her to the battlefield for the Wei family, what else is there to talk about marrying in this appearance? So his expression became more and more depressed, and he couldn't continue to talk anymore.
Wei Ji comforted him a few words, and then withdrew.
Under the lantern in the corridor outside the door, there were two people squatting face-to-face, one big and one small, Wei Jian leaned over lightly to take a look, it turned out that Pei Rang turned out the family money he had accumulated on weekdays in order to coax Yun'er, and saw that he was holding a milky white pebble the size of a thumb cover, round and round, like jade, and gently put it in Yun'er's palm:" When your second brother was as old as you, he was particularly fond of this smooth and round little stone for a while, so the eldest brother would bring back a few for her every time he went out, and then she fell in love with something else, but every time the eldest brother encountered this particularly beautiful small stone, he still couldn't help but put it away, oh, this one is very special, it was found in the waterhole on the mountain where your second brother grew up, and the eldest brother has officially given it to you now!"
The light softened Pei Rang's deep contours, although it was cold outside, but the scene in front of her made her feel warm, Wei Ji blinked, Pei Rang, who hadn't drunk much, could say so many words at once.
"Second brother" refers to her! She used to like small stones? Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there was such a thing, in fact, she didn't like sweets very much, but when she changed her teeth, she somehow liked maltose, and the master was very strict in this regard, and then she was short-sighted and insightful, and she heard that a "beautiful stone" could be exchanged for a lot of five baht, and with a lot of five baht, she could buy back the maltose that she couldn't eat...... Later, I realized that the kind of "beautiful stones" that could be exchanged for a lot of five baht were not the same thing as the beautiful stones she had saved, and the beautiful stones in her wooden box could not even be exchanged for half a piece of maltose, and then she didn't like beautiful stones anymore.
Wei Ji was stunned and missed his whereabouts, Pei Rang found her, and said in surprise: "Ge?" Then an embarrassed expression appeared on his face, I don't know if it was reflected by the light, anyway, his face was red.
After being caught, Wei Jian simply smiled and stepped forward and squatted down next to the two of them, first approached Pei Rang, reached out and pulled the small stone he was holding in the palm of his hand, picked out a patterned one from it, and placed it next to the milky white pebble in Yun'er's palm: "This one is also quite good-looking, it was given to you by the second brother." Picked another blue one: "This one is rare, it was given by the third sister." β
Pei Rang: "You?"
Wei Zhen: "Even if I borrowed it from you, I'll pay you back when I get back to Master." Reaching out and rubbing Yun'er's hair: "I still have a big box hidden under the collapse, you can pick it when the time comes." β
Pei Jean: "......"
Yun'er looked at Wei Ji, then at the three small stones in her hand, and finally at Wei Yan, grinned, grabbed her little hand, and held the three small stones tightly.
Wei Ji stretched out his hands to hold his little face: "Is it cold?"
Yuna smiled and shook her head.
Wei Ji put his forehead against his forehead: "From today on, you are Yun'er-Wei Yun, remember?"
Sima Run, who was standing at the corner of the corridor, heard this, and his heart twitched: Yun-Xinye, his and her son, named Sima Xin.
