The last time I was shocked, although my father did not chase after me in person like my mother, he also strictly corrected the whole matter, and chose a lieutenant to be my riding and archery master, and ordered me to practice every day and not slack off. After such an incident, I really wanted to learn riding archery, and I practiced diligently at first.

Because I was young, the master was afraid that I would be uncertain, so he refused to let me ride a horse and run laps seriously, but he wanted to teach me to play. My father, mother, Li Sheng, and Li Rui all thought that this method was very good, and I couldn't persuade him to change it, so I could only reluctantly obey it. However, every time I touched the cue, I couldn't help but think of Wei Huan, and then I was either depressed, or restless and irritable, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. I thought that my mother would not dwell on this little thing, and after more than a month, this matter should be revealed, but I didn't want her to mention it again at this time, so I had to sit up from her arms and deal vaguely: "I'll go tomorrow." ”

My mother glanced at me and said, "Tomorrow your cousin is going to enter the palace for an audience, you should stay in the palace and wait for the meeting, don't just go out for a walk." I frowned when I thought of Wu Minzhi for the first time, and my mother stretched out her hand to point between my eyebrows, and said with a smile: "You haven't seen this cousin since you were born. I knew that it wasn't Wu Minzhi, so I was happy in my heart and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't lie to me, I used to go in and out of my grandfather's mansion often, how can there be a cousin I haven't seen?"

The mother smiled and said, "It's your uncle's son, the heir of the great name, and their brother has always lived in a foreign state with his father, so it's natural that you don't recognize it." ”

I have some impressions of this name, I have vaguely seen it on TV in my previous life, but I can't remember its deeds clearly, in fact, there are so many characters in the martial arts family, but none of them can stand, it can be seen that the talent and ability are limited, no wonder the mother has been in the back seat for many years, but she always refuses to bring her own family, even the title of her grandfather, but she also has to call a nephew with a foreign surname to inherit - but if these people are too immature, if the mother sees it, will she dislike them because she dislikes them, and she wants to reuse Wu Minzhi?

Since the last time, I have sent people to inquire about Wu Minzhi from time to time, but unfortunately Ah Yuan is also in the deep palace, only to inquire about him because of the New Year's court party is not neatly dressed, was punished to kneel outside the palace gate for a day, and was deprived of his official position, ordered to study and think at home behind closed doors, but the punishment of kneeling and thinking behind closed doors are just family law, he still lives in the Wu family, and the title has not changed much. I guess my mother's intentions, is because there is no one in the martial family, if you reject Wu Minzhi, I am afraid that there will be no one to inherit the title of my grandfather's family, so I kept him to see the after-effects, today I heard that my mother recalled this cousin who came from nowhere, and I am more and more determined, because of my own stake, I have not yet met, but I first worry about him, and asked repeatedly: "How old is my cousin? Can he have an official position? I will see him tomorrow, what clothes should I wear?"

Mother looked at Wan'er, and Wan'er said busily: "Da Lang has eight out of twenty in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was white at the beginning of the door, and now he is joining the army as a record of Longzhou." “

It's the door shade is not a tribute, and it's Longzhou, a place I can't always remember, think about it, I know that there is no future, my heart is cold, and I count with my fingers, my mother glanced at me and said: "Don't count, Longzhou is Xiazhou, and the record of joining the army is from the eighth grade." “

Looking at my mother's expression, I had no intention of getting close to this nephew, and I was unwilling, so I asked, "Twenty-eight years old, then I should have several cousins?"

Wan'er coughed and said, "Da Lang is not married yet." ”

I hated to slap myself in the face, looking at my mother's indistinguishable face, and I didn't know what to say. Wan'er glanced at me and said, "The concubine is brave, and there is a word to enter." ”

Mother waved her hand, and she paused and said: "Your Majesty is close to the heart of the family, and the concubines and others are on the side, and they all know it well. It is a pity that the ancestors of the palace are not rich, although they often have the idea of harmony, but they cannot promote the sainthood. Now several Lang Jun into Beijing, because of the early death of their parents, has not yet married, if His Majesty can choose a wife room for it, so that the yin and yang are orderly, and the inside and outside are harmonious, which not only shows His Majesty's love and love for relatives, but also can stabilize the family, for the future generations of the plan, but only the holy judgment. “

The mother bowed her head and said, "It's okay." He nodded to the crowd and said, "Be careful, and if you see a good person, play it." ”

After everyone agreed, my mother took me and went back together. When there were only the two of us, my mother's expression was more relaxed than Fang Cai's, and she said lazily: "I heard that you are angry with people today? If the people below are disobedient, just send them to the court order to teach you a lesson, why do you make you cry and make trouble, not like words." ”

I knew that my mother was going to ask about this, so I used the words I had prepared to prevaricate: "It's not to be angry, it's to play on the Luoshui River during the day, and I suddenly remembered that year when we were boating in the Taiye Pond with my grandmother, and I missed her a little." "My grandmother was bold, able to eat and play, to the end of her life, after her death was buried in a beautiful manner, extremely grieved, in fact, there is nothing to mourn, but my mother always remembered her, often took us to the temple to give her incense and pray for blessings, and tirelessly recounted to us some of the past things that mother and daughter got along with.

Because I have met less often, I didn't have too deep feelings for this grandmother, but I had a lot of complaints about her because she favored Wu Minzhi, but at this time, in order to keep Wei Huan, I couldn't say a word about her, and I forced myself to think about Wei Huan's deception to me again, and tears immediately welled up in the corners of my eyes, and I threw myself into my mother's arms and cried.

My mother was also taken aback by me, patted me lightly on the back, was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed: "The most painful thing for your grandmother was Minzhi when she died." ”

My cry was frightened by this sentence, and I immediately gritted my teeth and said, "That's the case, he lived up to his grandmother's love, and it was even more hateful!"

My mother smiled, touched my head, and said, "I'll see your eldest cousin tomorrow." ”

I hesitated for a moment and asked, "A-Niang... Don't you like your big cousin?"

Mother said: "He was only ten years old when I last saw him, so I can't say what I like or dislike." ”

I said, "Then A-Niang doesn't like my uncle?"

Mother snorted and said, "Don't like it, A-Niang's most hated thing in her life is the two of them." Speaking of his own brother, he gritted his teeth like mentioning an enemy, I saw her face, and my mind naturally made up a grievance of a wealthy family that turned back and forth, and curiously pulled my mother's sleeve and said: "A-Niang and I will talk about it, talk about it." ”

Perhaps my mother's sorrow was aroused by the mention of my grandmother, but she did not keep silent about the past as she used to, but said: "There is nothing to say, they are not the same mother as me, and they were old when I was born, and they did not have much contact with each other." When my father passed away, they were afraid that the three of us sisters would marry and divide the family property, so they excluded me in every way, and they pushed the clan to marry me to a businessman... Hmph!" the mother snorted heavily, her chest heaving, obviously remembering the past, and her heart still couldn't calm herself. Although she said it simply, I knew that she was resolute by nature, and she was not really happy and angry, and in such a manner, the two uncles must have done a lot of dirty things, and they were both unhappy for their mother, but they were also faintly worried--Mother hated her brothers, and if that cousin couldn't get into her eyes tomorrow, wouldn't it make Wu Minzhi interesting again? Ah Niang took all their family property to build a Buddhist temple, pray for my grandmother, I have thought of the name of the Bodhisattva, called 'Yang Bodhisattva', Minzhi's cousin is so liked by his grandmother, so he asked him to shave his hair, enter the temple as the abbot, for the grandmother to chant and pray for the blessing of the scriptures every day. ”

My mother glared at me, knocked me on the head, and said, "It's you who do it!"

I smiled and said, "I'm not a joke, my grandmother likes Minzhi's cousin so much, but when he passed away, he refused to connect with Lu, and he was so disrespectful at the funeral, who knows if he thinks about his grandmother's goodness in his heart?" And his own surname is Wu, but his only son is surnamed Helan, I can't say that I still think of Helan in my heart, but I am afraid of A-Niang's power, so I pretend to be on the face, I want to say, A-Niang really called him a monk, not for anything else, just to try his heart, if he is really filial, there must be no complaints, and so he can practice the Buddha for a year or two, and then let him enter the court, it is also very easy, and then the anger is exhausted, and there is a reputation for filial piety, and it is more beneficial in the official career. If he is resentful, then A-Niang doesn't have to value him anymore, so she simply asks him to be a monk for the rest of her life. ”

My mother was stunned, knocked on my head and said: "Fang Cai is really right to blame you, calculating your mother and me, both smart and clever, when I go to others, I am stupid, and I don't know who I look like!"

I hugged her and smiled: "I've always been smart and smart, where is there a silly time, don't blame me." ”

Mother smiled and said: "This morning, the court ordered a report, saying that a thief in your palace was arrested, and it turned out to be a habitual offender, and he sold his property for a total of 10,000 yuan. You're so clever and clever, guess whose head you found?"
