Chapter 571: The New Year is Coming Again

p

When the Jingxiang area was surging due to Huan Wei's serious illness, Chang'an was still singing and dancing.

The days flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.

After the 23rd day of the lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year begins to thicken.

As the Spring Festival approached, a heavy snowfall came unexpectedly.

Overnight, Chang'an City was wrapped in a thick white quilt, and the sky and earth were even more snowy.

Children chase and fight in the snow, leaving behind strings of cheerful laughter.

This year's New Year is a special year for many people, especially for Hexi.

first entered Guanzhong in the east, recovered Guanlong, and laid the foundation for dominating the world; And the guard Shuo won the title of King Yong and stepped on the peak of the people.

and thwarted Tuoba Xianbei's southward plot in the Battle of Yecheng; In the end, the rebellion in Shuzhong was quelled without blood.

In addition to these outstanding martial arts, the people's livelihood economy in various places has also made significant gains.

Although the counties of Longyou and Hexi suffered a major locust plague last year, they finally ushered in a bumper grain harvest this year.

Although Guanzhong delayed the summer harvest due to the war, the autumn harvest was full.

In short, this year, the wind and rain in Hexi are smooth, and the good news continues, making this year's Spring Festival particularly festive and lively.

In a few days it will be the New Year, and every household in Chang'an City will begin to kill pigs and sheep, and the lights will be colorful, and it will be very lively.

A series of traditional celebrations such as hanging lanterns, sticking door charms, and lighting firecrackers are also staged.

The children, on the other hand, were eager to change into new clothes, holding rice cakes and sweets in their hands, and felt the joy of the festival in advance.

In King Yong's mansion, a group of children surrounded Wei Shuo, while several ladies sat together and chatted.

After entering Guanzhong, Wei Shuo has been busy with government affairs and military, and finally made it to the Spring Festival, and finally relaxed.

For several days, most of the time he stayed at home, spending time with the children and his wife.

At this time, Wei Shuo's eldest son, Wei Ji, who was only six years old, was reciting the Analects to him in a childish voice with his hands behind his back.

Don't look at Wei Ji's young age, but because of his different identity, he began to receive various educations early.

Even if Wei Shuo himself was busy and didn't care about his son's education, Princess Guo Yuan didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Guo Yuan was born in a top family, and his father is a Confucian family, so there is no shortage of educational talents.

As soon as Wei Ji grew up a little, Guo Yuan invited Liu Yu, a famous scholar, to teach his son through his father Guo Yu's relationship.

And Liu Yu is a disciple of Guo Yu, who was famous for his profound knowledge at a young age, and was appointed as a doctor of Hexi University before he was thirty years old.

Although Wei Shuo did not agree with his wife's actions in his heart, he was powerless to stop them.

Standing in front of his father, Wei Ji was a little nervous.

But when he saw his father with a gentle smile on his face, he immediately relaxed, and the memory in his mind became clearer.

Zi said: There are friends from afar, and I am very happy! People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen......"

“…… Zi said: He is also filial and easy to offend, and he is rare. ”

"Those who are not good at committing crimes and are good at making trouble, there is nothing to do."

"A gentleman is a gentleman, and he is born from the beginning. Filial piety is the foundation and ...... of benevolence."

It took a lot of tea to memorize the entire Analects.

To be honest, seeing the fine beads of sweat on his son's forehead, Wei Shuo felt a trace of guilt in his heart.

Over the years, he has rarely had the opportunity to stay at home, let alone accompany his wife and son.

Wei Shuo saw that his son was a little out of breath after he finished carrying it, so he asked softly, "Are you tired?" When you're tired, take a break. ”

"Father, the child is not tired, but he is a little thirsty."

"Hahaha, drink water when you're thirsty, and then test you after drinking water."

"Hmm!" Wei Ji nodded his little head and said.

Guo Yuan was sitting next to her, holding her daughter in her arms, gossiping with Meng Yao, Yin E, Fu Qiong, and Princess Jinling.

But her eyes never left Wei Shuo's father and son, and she was relieved until she heard her husband's hearty laughter.

For her son's education, she has always paid close attention to it, and in addition to receiving regular Mongolian education, she specially invited her father's closed disciples to teach.

Now that the territory under Wei Shuo's rule is getting bigger and bigger, and there are gradually signs of dominating the world, she doesn't dare to relax in the slightest.

As the eldest son, Wei Ji will inherit Wei Shuo's foundation in the future.

With her understanding of her husband, she will never open up just because Wei Ji is the eldest son.

As Wei Shuo often said, the choice of successor should be the first to promote talent and morality, followed by identity and status.

Her husband even ridiculed Emperor Wu of Jin many times, saying that he chose an idiot to be the crown prince, and as a result, he buried the Great Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, Guo Yuan knows that if Wei Ji cannot become a talent in the future, he will inevitably miss the big position.

Just as Guo Yuan was deep in thought, she suddenly heard another conversation between her husband and son.

Wei Shuo touched the top of his son's head lovingly, and asked, "In addition to the Analects, what else do you usually learn?" ”

"There are also arithmetic, calligraphy, painting...... Oh yes! The child also practiced martial arts. ”

"Oh, you're still learning martial arts?" Wei Shuo was surprised.

didn't expect his son to learn martial arts, he thought that Guo Yuan was born in a family of scholars, so he shouldn't pay attention to martial arts, no wonder his son looks very strong.

"Hmmm! The mother said that his father was a well-known invincible general, and the child would not be able to lose his father's reputation in the future. Wei Ji said proudly.

"And who did you learn it from?"

"It was taught by Aunt Meng, and the child practiced for his father to see." Wei Ji said expectantly with a small face.

When Wei Shuo heard that it was Meng Yao who taught him, it was immediately clear that Meng Yao's kung fu was not in vain, and it was more than enough to teach Wei Yao.

Maybe he had just been praised by Wei Shuo, Wei Jixing was undiminished, and after getting his father's consent, he hurriedly went to get a wooden sword and came out.

He came to the living room and stood still, put on a stance, and began to practice one move at a time.

Although Wei Shuo practiced very seriously, in Wei Shuo's eyes, he was full of flaws.

However, considering that Wei Ji is still just a child, it is rare to practice to this extent.

So, Wei Shuo nodded frequently, and did not forget to applaud and cheer for his son.

Soon, their side attracted the attention of others.

Guo Yuan, Meng Yao, Yin E and other adults all looked here, while several children ran to the side to watch.

Seeing that everyone applauded, Wei Ji danced the wooden sword more and more vigorously, and after a while, he sweated.

When he stopped, his whole body was panting, and his forehead, cheeks, and neck were covered with sweat.

"Father...... Father, I ...... I practice...... How's it going? ”

"Well, that's good! But keep it up and don't relax your workout. ”

"Yes, boy, remember!"

"Father, father, I also want to learn martial arts, and I also want to learn martial arts."

Looking at his daughter Wei Ling, who was holding her thighs and shouting, Wei Shuo slapped her forehead and couldn't cry or laugh.

He bent down and picked up his daughter, reached out and scratched her little Qiong's nose and asked, "What are you doing studying martial arts?" It's hard. ”

"I learned martial arts and showed my father! Also, what is hard work? ”

"Hahaha......"

Hearing this, Wei Shuo laughed heartily and kissed Wei Ling's pink face fiercely.

As a result, Wei Ling was distracted, and struggled to get off Wei Shuo's body and ran to her mother.

……

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Wei Shuo held a banquet in the palace to entertain all the civil and military forces under his command.

In the main hall, two rows of young dancers, thin feathers and light yarn, snow-white green onion arms, bare legs and bare feet, are dancing.

Except for Wang Maide, who was unable to attend the scene in Shudi, the rest of the Hexi all appeared.

Everyone gathered together to enjoy the charming dancing of the dancers while sipping fine wine.

Everyone is happy and happy.

Wei Shuo looked at the civil and military people on both sides of the hall, and his heart was very proud.

He has worked hard for eleven years, and finally has today's foundation, and it is not in vain.

Suddenly, Wei Shuo saw Helian Bobo, who was becoming more and more majestic in the crowd, and he suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to be about to graduate from the Martial Arts Academy.

However, for Helian Bobo, Wei Shuo is no longer as jealous as before.

Now even Frustrated Meng Xun has been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and he is not inferior to Helian Bobo.

It's not that Wei Shuotuo is big, but that the Sinicization reform in Hexi is progressing smoothly, and it is impossible for any Hulu leader to go back to take charge of the tribe.

At this moment, there was a burst of cheers in the hall, and Wei Shuo raised his eyes to look down.

I saw eight women coming out of the two side doors on both sides of the front of the hall, all of them wearing colorful skirts, dancing with ribbons in their hands, and dancing barefoot to the beat of the drum to the center.

Each dancer has a short sword tied to both ends of the ribbon, and the short sword flies when the jade hand dances, forming an excellent combination of rigidity and softness with the fluttering gauze ribbon.

Between the opening and closing of the colorful skirt, the snow-white plain feet loomed, causing people to reverie.

As the sound of drums became more and more exciting, the dancers became faster and faster, and the colorful skirts swirling in the field and the streamers flying in the air.

There are also rays of light drawn by the short sword, which are dizzying.

Everyone was overwhelmed by the dancers' wonderful dance and applauded and cheered.

In the warm applause, all the dancing girls bowed down and withdrew after saluting.

Then the banquet entered the climax, and everyone drank heartily.

And Yongwang Weishuo also frequently went down to drink with all his subordinates, and the whole banquet lasted until late at night.
