Chapter 443: The Younger in the Eyes of the Elders
When the time came to June, all the grain of the Lu family entered the warehouse, and the farmers who had been busy for a month sat under the big trees in twos and threes to enjoy the shade, only those children were still unwilling to let go of the grasshoppers in the wheat field.
The emperor and the court seem to have really forgotten the existence of such a person as Lu Zifei, there is no will and no letter, everyone acquiesces to the existence of this situation, what do you want, just don't go back to the court.
Lu Zifei is also accustomed to this rhythm of life, getting up to say goodbye, eating, going to class, playing with the children, engaging in small inventions when he has nothing to do, and living a good life, but the two pregnant daughters-in-law are a little annoying, and the rest is fine.
"Jun Xiang, do you want a brother or a sister?" Cai Mengyue asked as she stroked her belly, which was not yet bulging.
Jun Xiang thought for a while and said, "Sister"
"Why is it a sister, not a brother"
"Because my sister can help me snatch my aunt's toys, my aunt will bully me and steal my toys when she is fine."
One is a son and the other is a sister, and Lu Zifei can't make a bowl of water, so he told his son, "The next time your aunt snatches your toys, you will go to your grandparents, and they will help you take revenge." ”
After her son left, Cai Mengyue began to do it, and she also discovered that the opportunity to be pregnant is her best weapon, no matter how you do it at home, everyone will endure it, if you give birth to a boy, it is the eldest son in the real sense.
"Husband, what do you say if you really give birth to a daughter as Jun Xiang said?"
"Hello daughter! The daughter is the father's intimate little padded jacket, the son is too leather, and if you want a son, we will give birth later, and it is not that we can't give birth, ten or eight are fine. ”
Cai Mengyue was not happy when she heard her husband's words, what is a daughter is her father's intimate little padded jacket, the first one in my belly must be in my son, the eldest son was not born by himself, if the second child is still pretended to be pitiful all day long, will he still have the face to live in this house in the future?
"I don't care, you have to help me find a way, I must have a son."
For a pregnant woman, Lu Zifei had no choice but to lie to her: "I believe that my daughter-in-law will definitely be able to give birth to a son, and this son must also be born by my daughter-in-law." Even though Cai Mengyue knew that her husband was coaxing herself to be happy, she was very satisfied.
After serving the big one, there was a small one waiting for him, and when he went out and saw Shen Kuo with a reluctant Su Shi, Lu Zifei asked, "Why are you two here, is there something wrong?" ”
Su Shi's mouth flattened, feeling like he was about to cry, Shen Kuo pinched his neck and pulled it back and said, "Sir, I want to go out to study for a while, I want to know how I will go in the future." ”
"Thirteen, have you figured it out? Or where you want to go. ”
"Mr. North, your investment in the past two years has been relatively large, students want to go to the southwest, I heard that the lives of ordinary people are miserable, students go to see who is telling the truth."
Lu Zifei said with a smile: "You want to verify whether the things that the master has taught you in the past few years are useful!" It's okay to go on a study tour, but you have to agree to a few conditions for being a teacher, otherwise the big guys at home won't let you go. ”
Shen Kuo said with a bitter face: "If you do that, you will lose the true meaning of the study tour, the disciple does not need the protection of others, I have the ability to protect myself, they follow me, others will know at a glance that I am a rich boy who came out to experience life, master, please." ”
Lu Zifei said: "I don't count, you know, as long as you can pass the pass between Mr. Shao and Mr. Hu, I will let you go out alone, the master's status at home is not as good as your junior brother, and you don't know." ”
"Look, how is this little fat man, isn't it? Although he is only a few years old, his talent in writing lyrics makes me ashamed, if you train him for a while, I am guaranteed to be a young genius full of literary temperament, and the disciple is guaranteed to come back in two to three years. ”
Lu Zifei looked at this disciple like a fool and said, "It's still two to three years, you won't be dreaming!" I don't dare to make a decision for you, I don't want to be hunted down all over the world. ”
In a hurry, Shen Kuo said: "Then Wu Pan has decided to go to the sea alone, you don't care, just hold on to me." ”
"Are you two trying to rebel? One goes to the southwest, the other goes to the sea, and I don't want my family to follow, who gave you the courage? Liang Jingru? Don't even think about it, unless you can do the work of those guys. ”
"Master, do you think this is good, I will take a veteran of the family on the road, and then I must report my whereabouts to the family every month, so you don't have to worry about it!"
Lu Zifei stared at Shen Kuo's eyes and said, "This is all discussed between you and Wu Pan!" You have worked hard in front of you for so long, and you brought Dasu over, the idea is good, you also know your master and my temperament best, and you know that playing the emotional card is the best way, the sea is fine, but the strength of the southwest family is too weak. ”
"It's because of this that the disciple went! Otherwise, what kind of strength do you have to experience, do you teach me the skill of letting students be people like Zhao Kuo? Our people in the Ghost Valley go out of the mountain, and we can't fall into the prestige of the sages. ”
Lu Zifei said: "Others don't know, aren't you still clear?" In my heart, I actually hope that you can go out and see the outside world and understand that there is a world of difference between the ideal Datong and the reality, mainly because the two of you are a little young. ”
Shen Kuo said: "The first batch of senior brothers and sisters who graduated went out to work, and the senior brother Cheng Fei who graduated from medicine all went to Tibet. ”
"That's a madman, you can't compare with him, and their learning time is too short, I haven't had time to teach them a lot of things, chemistry is a profound science, I can't guarantee how far I can go, they believe in themselves too much."
Shen Kuo said: "The students have already been prepared, I have checked the information in Qianzhou, Juzhou, and Guizhou, and I have checked the whole hundreds of pages of A4 paper. ”
This blocked all the words that Lu Zifei wanted to oppose, Lu Zifei was full of confidence in this founding disciple, but his impression of him was still four years ago, and his height of 1.7 meters looked like an adult.
"Things are ready, I have checked you before you can leave, if you dare to run away secretly like your Nanxing master, you will not go back to this home in the future."
Shen Kuo's mood at the moment is indescribable, the relationship between him and his family has been good or bad in the past five years, his father Shen Zhou is also extremely disappointed in himself, he very much wants to prove that everything he has done is right through his own efforts, today the master gave him this opportunity, he must firmly grasp it.
For the path he chose, Lu Zifei didn't intend to impose it on his disciples, they had their own way to go, and he couldn't protect them omnipotentiously for the rest of his life, the road was chosen by himself, and he couldn't blame others for regretting it in the future.
Every adult will have such thoughts at the moment when their children grow up! Lu Zifei just replaced his son with a disciple, and the actual difference was not beaten, and Lu Zifei came to the place where Wan Ming lived.
"What, I'm in a bad mood, let's drink some of them? Give you relief. ”
Looking at Wan Ming Lu Zifei, who was in high spirits, his mood improved a little, and he said with a smile: "Is it suitable for your body to drink?" ”
"Look down on me, old man! Wang's only little cub recuperated me when he was fine, and the root of the disease that fell before had long been cured, and I haven't done anything for these years, and I feel that my whole person has been consumed. ”
"Okay, kid will accompany you to drink a little today, you wait, I'll go get some snacks for our grandfather."
"It's okay to have anything else, but the fried peanuts are more, the older others are, the worse their teeth are, and it's the other way around for me, it's really uncomfortable to grind your teeth without peanuts."
After a while, Lu Zifei arrived with a few delicate cold dishes, and the two of them sat in a room full of ice cubes and drank up, Wan Ming said: "I have completely given up the matter in Beijing now, and the connection with the palace has also been broken. ”
Lu Zifei said: "No, no, really not, it is also my own decision to return to Luoyang, and it has nothing to do with the emperor, as for the hatred you said, I can't talk about it!" Don't think about it, I have nothing to do with this today. ”
Wan Ming said: "I can probably guess a little bit of the emperor's thoughts!" It's nothing more than trying to completely hold the power in your hands, and you can't say who is right or wrong, but it's true that you have been wronged, and I know very well how much you have contributed to this country. ”
"No, the emperor has done well enough, after all, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, his approach is the most satisfying one for everyone, I am still young, and I will have opportunities in the future, I don't care about this time."
"I still have resentment in my heart, you said that he is the emperor, and balancing the forces of all parties is what he must do, you understand more."
Lu Zifei smiled and said: "It's okay, you think too much, today is mainly Shen Kuo and Wu Pan, the two little cubs who want to go on a study tour and want to go alone, so I'm angry?" ”
Wan Ming said: "This is a good thing, don't sigh for a long time, they are all older, plus they have accepted the influence of new ideas, they think they can do anything, and it is also a good thing to go out and run into a wall." ”
"Hey, I still feel that they are still young, and time flies so fast!"
"Are you still a child in my heart? Over the years, you have traveled north and south, and you say that your family can not worry about you, then you are not standing in front of me, in your words, the flowers in the greenhouse will never bloom the most beautiful flowers. ”
After talking to the old man for a while, Lu Zifei's mood is much better, many times you probably only need a listener, listen to what you say in your heart, you don't need too many words, just listen to you quietly.
People are old, they talk a lot, and they are afraid of loneliness, and they chatted with Lu Zifei for a long, long time, and Wan was obviously very happy, telling him about his glorious deeds, drinking wine, eating all the dishes, and then busy with their own things.
