The little marquis walked into the living room, and it happened that Wu Chenghou came out of the bedroom.

The little marquis saluted his father in a proper manner.

"Son, have you copied the words in the morning? Remember, every day I have to copy a page of Mr. Wen's small letters. ”

"It's over." The little marquis lowered his hand.

"Well, that's good. Tell you son, Mr. Wen's Xiaokai is the best, you have to copy it carefully, and you will also write such good characters in the future. Marquis Wucheng instructed.

"Well, my son usually copies the second uncle's prescription." The little marquis said.

"Prescription? What are you doing copying your second uncle's prescription? Son, my father told you, we won't study that medicine, you just need to study literature hard. ”

"My son doesn't want to study medicine, he likes the second uncle's Xiaokai, and he also wants to copy it, and the second uncle stays at home the most is the prescription." Little Hou Ye said.

Wucheng Hou sighed, it turned out that his son liked the second brother's words, that's okay, the second brother's words are also very good. However, in his opinion, Wen Zhengming's Xiaokai is still much more beautiful than it is, so he found Wen Zhengming to write a lot of sample posts for his son, and asked his son to copy it every morning. But since he likes his second brother, he can also learn, which can be regarded as a family style.

"Son, do you still want to learn painting with Mr. Tang in the afternoon?" The Marquise walked in and asked.

"Hmm."

"Mr. Tang's painting also has to be studied hard, but it's a pity that your second uncle is not at home, otherwise you don't have to go out to find someone to learn." The Marquise sighed.

"Son, you have to learn calligraphy and painting hard, in the future you will be a talented and merry marquis, don't be like your father and me, this body of martial arts is inextricable." Marquis Wucheng admonished.

"It's okay to be a talent, but the word romance is exempt, lest you grow up and become like someone, and you can't move when you see a beautiful woman, son, you must remember your mother's words."

The husband and wife taught their son word by word, and the little marquis turned his head left and right, no matter who said anything, he just nodded.

The old man of Wucheng blushed, knowing that this was revealing his shortcomings, he opened his mouth, but he had nothing to say, he had too many handles in the hands of the marquise in this regard, and he was really hard.

"When I grow up, I want to learn from my second uncle, marry the most beautiful lady, and pick every flower from all over the world." Xiao Hou Ye suddenly said with a light in his eyes.

This is really not shocking, and the husband and wife of Wucheng Hou were stunned when they heard this, as if they had been struck by lightning. My son's words didn't seem right, but he didn't know how to correct them.

The most beautiful lady, of course, is the pomegranate, a flower or something refers to the left antelope, the left antelope was known as a branch of Fengyang at the beginning, the most beautiful woman in the north and south of the river, and finally returned to the hand.

"This, son, you are still young, and you don't know much about some things, in fact, your second uncle is not very." Marquis Wucheng hurriedly carefully found words to educate his son.

"Yes, although your second uncle has married a few beauties, it is not his own wish, it is that those women love him too much and can't push it away." The Marquise was also full of words to quickly explain.

"Well, I want to be a talented man like my second uncle when I grow up, so that the most beautiful women in the world love me, and I can't push it away." The little marquis said with his head held high.

Wucheng Hou and his wife's faces were all black, and the two of them had worked hard to educate their son in the past few years.

This is really a good teacher and parents' education, it is not as good as teaching by word and deed, and I don't know when it began to become the idol of the little marquis.

"When I grow up, I will be like my second uncle, taking people to negotiate with foreign races, and in the future, I will lead troops to fight pirates." The little marquis continued to shake his head and said.

"Son, let's talk about this future in the future, is Mr. waiting outside, you should go to school quickly." Wu Chenghou hurriedly interrupted his son's words, if this trend continues, then it will be okay? It's like nothing to do with my parents.

The little marquis did not go to the public school in the clan, but was taught the enlightenment courses of the three-character classic, the hundred family names, and the thousand-character text by the invited gentleman at home, and he was in the outer study.

The Marquise had actually taught these basic lessons a long time ago, but the gentleman invited was very old-fashioned, and he had to re-teach them in person, as if he could tell the supreme philosophy of Confucianism with 3,000 words and a hundred family names.

The little marquis will inherit the title of the marquis in the future, of course, he will not participate in the imperial examination, so the course can not be taken according to the way of the child, the marquis and his wife studied for many days, and decided to make him a talented marquis, elegant and noble, this is the most ideal successor in their eyes.

Xiao Hou Ye copied Xiaokai in the bedroom in the morning, followed Mr. in the morning to learn the three characters of the hundred family names, and learned painting with Tang Bohu in the afternoon, and the day's course was also fully arranged.

The little marquis was very obedient, turned around and walked out to follow a few family members to the outer study to study.

"What do you say about this kid, he hasn't stayed with the second brother for long, why is he so focused on learning from the second brother?" Wu Chenghou looked at his son's back and smiled bitterly.

"Maybe it's because the old lady talks to him every day about the second brother, and besides, it's not bad for him to learn from the second brother, is it possible to learn from you?" The Marquise sneered.

Marquis Wucheng shrugged and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Hey, you said that the second brother's children are about to grow up, our two children have titles, but the second brother doesn't have one, will the old lady be partial again after a few years, and give the title back to the second brother's son?" The Marquise asked in a whisper.

"No, there's no need for this, now look at the strength of the second brother outside, a marquis can't be stopped, and he may have to be named a duke in the future, I heard that the emperor also has this meaning." Wucheng Hou said.

"Really? But in these peaceful years, how can you be a marquis without military merits? ”

"Then make military merits, the second brother will go to negotiate outside the country, and it will be a great achievement if the negotiation is completed, won't he go to the coast to fight pirates at the end of the year? Isn't that a ready-made military feat? There are no military achievements to be made in the interior, and there are still opportunities in the frontier and outside the Seychelles. ”

"That's just as well." The Marquise was reassured.

"You say that the old lady scolds the emperor at home when she has nothing to do, and always says that the emperor has a bad heart for the second brother, but my father and younger brother wrote to say that the emperor is very good to the second brother, and I don't know who to listen to in terms of favor."

"I can't say that the emperor treats the second brother well, although our family has always received special grace from the imperial court, but we have never been so favored, but if you want to talk about the last thing, it is difficult to say now, the holy will is unpredictable." Marquis Wucheng sighed.

"By the way, your baby brother Zhao Yang is also out of luck, but now he is in the sixth guard of Beijing Jinyi, I heard that he looks like a dog now, I really didn't see it before." Wucheng Hou smiled evilly.

"What are you talking about, wasn't Zhao Yang just spoiled by my father before, but now he has been with his second brother for a while, but he has grown up, and my father is very satisfied with him now." The Marquise gave Marquis Wucheng a blank look.

What kind of material Zhao Yang is, everyone knows very well in their hearts, and the Wudinghou family is very satisfied with Zhao Yang's care and support.

"Well, it seems that the second brother does have something unique in leading people, the sixth guard of Jinyi started from scratch, and now it is said that it has completely surpassed the original Jinyi guard, and the combat power can be comparable to that of Guanning Iron Cavalry, I really want to see the second brother come back with troops." Wucheng Hou revered.

"Didn't you say you'd be back at the end of the year?"

"It was scheduled for the end of the year. However, the emperor appointed him to negotiate outside the country, and Tatar was a master who was not easy to talk to, so who knew if something would stumble. Wucheng Hou sighed.

No matter how the situation in the north changes, it will have no impact on Nanjing, even if there is a flood of pirates along the coast, Nanjing is still as stable as Mount Tai, as long as Nanjing is not attacked, Nanjing's five military governors do not have to worry about anything.

However, the situation of the whole country and some major events are known to the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces in Nanjing, and Beijing also copies various situations to the various ministries in Nanjing, as well as the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, as well as the Zhongshan Palace.

No one in Nanjing expected that the imperial court would resume negotiations and send ministers with plenipotentiary powers.

The people here think about the same as the people in Beijing, the imperial court is determined to reach a negotiation this time, and to lead the negotiation is to give him a great merit in vain, and in the future, if he makes one or two more such merits, he can justifiably be crowned a marquis.

Sometimes this kind of thing is as difficult as climbing to the sky, no matter how you think about it, sometimes it's not difficult. Besides, in the current situation, everyone thinks that the emperor is desperately trying to pile up the credit of the world on him, what else can he do if he doesn't become a marquis?

Of course, no one could have predicted that the reality was quite the opposite.

Marquis Wucheng is also similar to what everyone thinks, if it weren't for Pomegranate, Chen Musa and the pair of children they raised at home, they were all hostages of the emperor, he would think the same as those people.

That's why he said that the emperor's holy will is unpredictable, even if he doesn't speculate on the emperor with the greatest malice, he will never see that the emperor has even the slightest evil intention about the situation, on the contrary, it is all strong grace. Thinking about the worst, it's a bit of a bad thing.

Nanjing, the central island of Xuanwu Lake.

In the breeze and drizzle, Chen Musa and Wei Guocheng were fishing by the lake.

Both of them were dressed in robes, dressed as fishermen.

Chen Musa looked at the swallows that swooped down in the breeze and drizzle to hunt insects and then flew up into the sky crookedly, and said with emotion: "The breeze swallows are oblique, and the work of the Du Gong Department in choosing words and making sentences is really unpredictable." ”

Wei Guogong smiled, he knows how to write Tang poems and Song poems, but this thing of deducting words and words is not what he does, he has always read only the general idea, and does not abide by the rules and sentences.

"Quick, there's a fish on the hook. Pull it up. Wei Guogong suddenly shouted.

Chen Musa was wandering in the rhythm of the Tang Poetry Kingdom, and was startled by his shout, and almost fell into the lake.

"Pull it up, or the fish will come off." Wei Guogong said with great interest.
