In the school, the children of the five families can acquire lifelong knowledge: in addition to language, Fengqi teaches fists and feet, Wen Mulan teaches swordsmanship, Su Liangzhi teaches medicine, Princess Chunhe teaches music, and Zhu teaches girls the rules of female redness.

Xu Wenmin was in charge of trade, and Wu Zhengxiang was in charge of training the army to defend against strong enemies.

After an afternoon of classes, Xu Wanzhen sorted out the courseware on the podium and said, "After class, Wang Lei will stay." ”

The rest of the children got up one after another and bowed to Xu Wanzhen: "Goodbye, teacher." Then cast a sympathetic look at Wang Lei. Wang Lei stood there with his head held high, his stubborn expression was the same as Tu Manfen.

Looking at him, Xu Wan couldn't help but think of the past, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, walked up to him, and said softly: "Show me your hand." ”

Wang Lei reluctantly stretched out his hands, don't look over his head and wait for training.

In his young palm, there were several more red marks, and Xu Wanzhen took out the ointment and gently wiped it on. I thought to myself, this Fengqi is really old-fashioned. Didn't you see that you were still a child, and you fought like this.

After she heard the news that Wang Leyu had punished Wang Lei for going to the ancestral temple to receive the punishment, she deliberately carried a bottle of ointment on her body before coming to class. At this time, it really came in handy.

Feeling the coolness coming from the palm of his hand, Wang Lei couldn't believe it at first, and then his mouth flattened, and he cried out with a "wow".

The grievances of "cousin ......" who were punished by her father were released at this time. He has always been arrogant, and when he is punished, he has to save face, and he refuses to let his companions see the jokes.

But he was still a child after all, and when he started crying, he was out of control, and he couldn't stop sobbing and sobbing.

Xu Wan really smiled, put down the plaster and hugged him in her arms, patted him on the back, and coaxed him softly for a long time.

When he calmed down and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe away his tears, she said, "Your father punished you because he was afraid that you would not know your fault." If you are beaten, his heart will not feel good. ”

"Really?" Wang Lei wiped his tears and questioned at the same time.

He didn't believe it! Father only has mother in his eyes, when has he ever had him? punished him so harshly that he wondered if he was his own.

Thinking like this, his tears welled up again, and he asked with a whimper, "Cousin, did you say that my father picked me up?" "But the children of the Feng family are all adopted sons, and they have never been punished to go to the clan temple.

This kid, with his little head, doesn't know what's in it. It's weird and hard to guess.

Xu Wanzhen finally understood Tu Manfen's distress, so she had to hug him a little tighter, return to the podium and pour tea for him to drink. "Brother Lei, if you keep crying, your eyes will become red rabbits."

Wang Lei is a big ghost and cares a lot about face. Sure enough, as soon as he said this, he immediately stopped sobbing and asked worriedly, "Cousin, are my eyes red now?" ”

Xu Wanzhen glanced at him seriously and said, "It's only a little bit, and it won't get in the way if you go out later." Let Zhiyan, who was waiting at the door, bring a basin of cold water and cover his eyes.

Taking advantage of the moment, Xu Wanzhen patiently enlightened him: "When you were born, your father was so nervous that he couldn't speak. You say, "Are you his own son?" ”

When it comes to his face, Wang Lei will obediently close his eyes and listen to her.

"Parents can only hope that their son will be well." Xu Wanzhen said earnestly: "Love is deep, responsibility is earnest." Other children are naughty, will your father discipline them? ”

Wang Lei didn't say anything, but Xu Wan really knew that he listened. When he was young, this child was very assertive.

"He was worried that you wouldn't study well, so he punished you like this. Later, after dinner, you take the initiative to admit your mistake to your father. Then go to the medical office and ask your cousin to show you your hands. ”

Wang Lei responded sullenly, hesitated for a moment, and said uneasily: "Cousin, don't tell anyone else about me." ”

Xu Wan really had the intention to tease him, and asked with a smile, "Oh? What is Brother Lei talking about? ”

I saw that his little face was flushed, and he was snorting for a long time before he whispered: "Just what I just cried." ”

Xu Wanzhen pretended to be surprised: "Oh? Can't even your parents say that? ”

Wang Lei grabbed the cloth covering his eyes, opened his black and white eyes, and said, "Of course not!" "I was uneasy.

Xu Wanzhen also looked serious and stopped teasing him, stretched out her finger and hooked her finger with him, and said, "Brother Lei, don't worry, my cousin won't say anything, this is our secret." Luckily? ”

Wang Lei nodded vigorously, and only then did he smile slightly.

"Cousin, what do you think of my eyes?"

Xu Wanzhen said "um" and said, "No problem, I can't see it at all." ”

Wang Lei smiled happily, then tightened his little face, and gave Xu Wanzhen a formal salute, "Thank you, cousin." He stepped out the door.

Needless to say, he went to Uncle Basad again.

Among these children, there is no one more curious and eager to learn than him; As for the most face-loving, he called the second, and no one dared to call it the first.

Wu Zhengxiang walked in, looked at Xu Wanzhen, who had just gotten up, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" The little one is giving you a headache? ”

Xu Wanzhen told him a little about Wang Lei, and didn't say anything about the part where he cried. Since she promised him, she didn't plan to break her word.

Wu Zhengxiang stretched out his hand to straighten the hem of her skirt for her, and said with a smile: "Boy, it's normal to be naughty." ”

"yes." Xu Wanzhen nodded in agreement. Don't look at Wang Lei's young age, but he initially has the characteristics of being a scientist. Perhaps, she should talk to Cousin Manfen about his training direction.

"Let's go, I'm here to pick you up." The two have been married for many years and are still as loving as a young couple. Wu Zhengxiang looked at his gaze, as gentle and affectionate as back then.

"How's your business going?" Xu Wanzhen asked with some concern. A few days ago, a force suddenly appeared at their border, and the soldiers were not good at horses.

"Nothing." Wu Zhengxiang wrote lightly: "I have fought a few battles with their leader, and now I have formed an alliance." ”

Xu Wanzhen looked up at his resolute chin line, and smiled slightly in her heart, feeling extremely proud. This is his own man, not only with extraordinary martial arts, but also with outstanding military talents and diplomatic skills.

Thinking back to the difficulties of first arriving here, and then looking at the relationship with various forces at this time: whether they formed alliances, or traded, or fought to submit each other, maintaining a rare balance.

Feeling her admiring eyes, Wu Zhengxiang was extremely happy.

Touching her shoulders, he said proudly: "Wanzhen, don't worry." I promised to keep you safe and secure all your life, and not to withstand the storm or storm. Now, all I want is to leave a stable and prosperous land for my children and grandchildren, and it is enough. ”

He wasn't without ambition, but if it would bring her more tribulation, he would rather not.

The two looked at each other and smiled, holding hands side by side, casting two long shadows intersecting in the sunset, regardless of you and me.
