Chapter 31: The Old Bottom (I)

Sent Xu Jingzong away, Wei Yan lay comfortably on the soft chair, waiting for Xie Jiu to come back for dinner, but what he was waiting for was not Xie Jiu's return, but His Majesty Li Er's message, so that he could go with the little eunuch who passed on the message. didn't say where to go, didn't say why, Wei Yan intuitively thought that it was related to Xie Jiu's not yet returned. It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! Wei Yan was very single, and after explaining, he got into the carriage with the little eunuch.

The carriage was tightly covered all around, and he didn't know where he was going to be taken, and he wanted to open the curtain to take a look, but he was stopped by the little eunuch, saying that he was afraid that he would not feel at ease when he saw it.

Not at ease?! What does that mean? Wei Yan's mind sank, his face straightened, and he no longer tried to take the words of the little eunuch. After walking for about half an hour, the guard outside the carriage said, and the little eunuch asked the guard to get out of the car.

When Wei Yan got out of the car, he saw that it was already outside the city, and looking at the layout, it looked like a military camp, with sergeants wearing armor and knives, patrolling around. The little eunuch led him to a huge tent and said, "Lord Wei, please wait here, the slave and maid will go and report." ”

The little eunuch turned around and went into the big tent, and Wei Yan's mind sank again, and he already had some kind of enlightenment. Wei Yan looked at the guards who had surrounded him in the center intentionally or unintentionally, and thought about Xie Jiu, whose whereabouts were unknown, and immediately dispelled the idea of escaping, and waited for His Majesty Li Er to summon him with peace of mind.

After a while, the little eunuch came out and said, "Lord Wei, Your Majesty let you in." ”

Wei Yan followed him in, and when he saw the things in the tent, his heart trembled, and he smiled bitterly and saluted: "Minister, Wei Yan, knock to see Your Majesty." ”

In the huge tent, in addition to His Majesty Li Er and his guards, the things placed by Wei Yan were very familiar to Wei Yan, that is, the two trucks that were dismantled by him and Xie Jiu's car. His Majesty Li Er sat on the only chair in the tent, similar in style to the soft chair in Wei Yan's house.

"Wei Yan, don't you feel anything when you see these two things?" His Majesty Li Er asked with a calm expression, and the handsome old man's face could not see joy or anger.

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't have any feelings except regret."

"Why regret?"

"Scattered all the family wealth, poured all the strength of the family to build a car, in order to return to the homeland, who expected to encounter hardships on the way, only my husband and wife came back, this is the first regret; After returning to Datang, the car was damaged and the minister was unable to repair it, which was the second regret; The relics were buried in the mountains, and they didn't want to touch the hurt things, but they were dug up by His Majesty, which reminded the ministers of the sad things they didn't want to look back, which was the third regret. ”

Wei Yan sighed and made a regretful expression. His Majesty Li Er stared at Wei Yan for a while, laughed, and said, "Then I am not kind, and deliberately reminds you of sad things?" ”

Wei Yan behaved calmly: "The minister is more honest and honest, and he will not guess the thoughts of others." ”

"Hehe, honest and honest?! Do you mean yourself? Guard. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly."

His Majesty Li Er laughed again and said, "I asked Wuji, what do you think of Wei Yan?" Mowgli said, a wonderful person. I think so. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

"I didn't praise you, I just told you the truth."

His Majesty Li Er's expression returned to unfathomable, and his joy and anger were invisible. Youyou looked at Wei Yan for a long time, and then said: "Wei Yan, I have been thinking, who are you and your wife!" Tell me who you are! Remember, I have to listen to the truth, and besides, I remind you that your wife, Xie Jiu, is in prison. ”

Wei Yan chuckled in his heart and said, "Back to Your Majesty, our husband and wife are just a pair of poor people who have returned from overseas wandering, their parents have been lost, they are homeless, and they are struggling to survive in the crowd. ”

"Well, that's a rustic way of saying it."

"Because what the minister says is the truth, Your Majesty."

"Wei Yan, I don't understand, looking at the age of you and your wife, but only eighteen or nineteen years old, how can you learn a miraculous medical skill, injections, surgeries, blood drawings, and tell some profound stories, yes, as well as the strange furniture and things in your home, the crops in the garden that I have never seen or heard of, and even know the military, and can give unique opinions to my four old ministers. How do you explain this to me? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister said that those crops were brought back from overseas. Your Majesty, in China, the way of educating children, the sooner the better, and there is even a group of scholars who study how to educate children, and study a set of effective education methods. Take Weichen and his wife as an example, before the age of four, parents have consciously guided their children, through a variety of interesting games, to exercise their children in play, and the story told by the minister to His Royal Highness and the princess is what the minister heard when he was a child. ”

"After the enlightenment education, within 8 years, learn a variety of basic knowledge, and after the basic knowledge is completed, and then choose the vocational skills to be engaged in in the future according to their respective strengths and preferences. Both the minister and his wife chose medical skills, studied with the master for four whole years, and sat under the supervision of the master for two years before they have today's medical skills. ”

"According to what you say, you shouldn't know anything about farming, but I look at the crops in your garden and in the field, and you are obviously a veteran, so how can you explain this?"

His Majesty Li Er looked at Wei Yan sharply, Wei Yan smiled astringently, no need to pretend, and said: "Your Majesty, although my Wei family is the same clan as the Lu family, but as a partial house, the family is not rich, only two acres of fertile land, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, and the minister is the male in the family. ”

"The children of the poor are in charge of the house early?!"

His Majesty Li Er's eyes flashed, and he said sternly: "Wei Yan, I hope to hear your truth!" Do you know why Xie Jiu was pressed into the prison? ”

"Please inform Your Majesty, the minister will never dare to deceive Your Majesty."

"Hmph, don't dare?! I look at you two, very bold, since I first saw you, I have never seen a trace of me on your face, the slightest fear of my courtiers, but not humble or arrogant, down-to-earth and generous, I don't know any poor child can have such a demeanor as you. Not to mention, your audacious wife Xie Jiu is even more daring, she dares to beat the inner guards, tell me, which child from a poor family in the world dares to do this? ”

His Majesty Li Er, the louder he spoke, his expression became more and more stern, and he glared at Wei Yan angrily. Wei Yan was silent, his mind spinning rapidly.

"What? Speechless? I'm still waiting for you to tell me what you've seen overseas. ”

His Majesty Li Er's eyes and expressions made Wei Yan feel that he was the prey targeted by the eagle, and he tried his best to either escape or die.
