The Weishan Lake banquet was suspended halfway due to Wei Shuo's words, and the children of the family present returned to Pengcheng with complicated feelings. In fact, Wei Shuo's current mentality is a bit extreme, and the children of the family are not all waste, and there are still some amazing talents among them.

What surprised Wei Shuo the most was Cao Hong's performance, although he made a mistake at the banquet, he didn't seem to resent Wei Shuo much before leaving, but glanced at Wei Shuo quite complicatedly.

"Actually, Brother Cao is not bad, but because he has never encountered setbacks, he is a little arrogant. But I think this time, he has been hit hard, and I don't know if he can survive it. Pei Ying'er looked thoughtfully at Cao Hong's departing back.

Wei Shuocai didn't care about Cao Hong's thoughts, he stared at Pei Ying'er and laughed: "You won't like that pseudo-girl, right?" ”

"Yikes! What are you talking about? I, I, I've always treated him like a brother. What else is a pseudo-mother? Pei Yinger said embarrassedly.

"I didn't say anything, why are you in a hurry to deny it. Whether you like the guy surnamed Cao or not, in short, I think that kid has some meaning for you. Forget it, I haven't said thank you yet. If you hadn't given me a paper workshop, the recruits wouldn't be able to put on paper armor by now. ”

"You sent a workshop, didn't Lord Thorn Shi say anything?"

Pei Ying'er smiled slyly and said, "Hehe, my father didn't know that there was one less visiting workshop in the house. My family's property has always been in charge of my mother, and it has only recently been handed over to me. ”

Wei Shuo shook his head and sighed deliberately: "Alas! It's really a thousand precautions, and it's hard to prevent thieves! I really don't know how Lord Thorn will feel when he finds out! ”

Pei Ying'er sneered and said, "What kind of thief, thief, isn't this all to help you?" ”

I don't know why, every time she is with Wei Shuo, Pei Yinger always feels very relaxed. Wei Shuo was completely different from the people she had met before, neither the innate arrogance of the children of the family, nor the inferiority complex common to the humble scholars. He can talk eloquently in front of famous people, and he can also mingle with ordinary people.

In short, Wei Shuo is a contradictory person in Pei Yinger's eyes, a person who is incompatible with this era, but he can't leave!

Returning from Weishan Lake, Wei Shuo was still busy with military training. Although the recruits are only equipped with paper armor, and everyone was still a little skeptical at first, after a period of contact, everyone found that the protective ability of the paper armor is not weak, which greatly improves the morale and courage of the recruits.

However, Wei Shuo, who was hiding in the barracks, did not know that his remarks at the banquet triggered a series of domestic violence afterwards. After many children of the family went back, they went to ask the elders of the family for advice with the same question, but not only did they not get any response, but they were beaten up.

Many of the elders of the family loudly reprimanded their children for going astray and embarking on the path of demons. Although many children of the family have returned to the old road under the pressure of the elders in the family, there are also a few assertive children of the family who have more and more doubts in their hearts, including Cao Hong, who once had an unpleasant quarrel with Wei Shuo.

After Cao Hong returned home, he also threw a few questions that Wei Shuo asked him to the elders, and the elders in the family couldn't say a single meaningful suggestion except for using metaphysics.

This made Cao Hong feel extremely unhappy, although he was taught a lesson by the elders, he did not give in, but wanted to find the answer. After being locked up by the elders of the family for a few days, Cao Hong actually went to visit Wei Shuo outside the city.

"Lord Qiqi, there is a young man who calls himself Cao Hong outside the camp looking for you?"

On this day, Wei Shuo was handling official business in the barracks, and when he heard that Cao Hong was coming, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. He has no friendship with Cao Hong, but there is a little bit of a skirmish. I don't know what Cao Hong is doing here at this time? Despite his doubts, Wei Shuo let him in.

After a while, Cao Hong walked in with his head held high with a cool expression, he first frowned and looked at the environment of Wei Shuo's office, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied with Wei Shuo's such simple office conditions.

Seeing this, Wei Shuo shook his head lightly and explained: "It's not like you are from a big family, you have been clothed and fed since you were a child, and I have suffered everything. Besides, this is a barracks, everything is about preparing for war, of course, it has to be simple. Okay, let's not talk about that, why did Cao Langjun come here today? ”

Cao Hong found a seat and knelt down, then looked directly at Wei Shuo and said: "Some time ago, when Weishan Lake was gathering, Lord Wei was very disdainful of the metaphysics in today's society, and directly denounced it as not being able to solve practical problems, but could only be used for talking. And put forward the slogan of 'clear talk and misleading the country'! ”

After I went back, I also reflected on it and felt that what Master Wei said was quite reasonable. It's true that metaphysics doesn't help the world today, but I can't find any other answer. The elders in the family don't seem to be able to find any other way than to scold loudly. ”

Wei Shuo had long expected the reaction of the big families, in this era when you can become an official with a clean talk, it is impossible to ask those big families to give up their immediate interests. Therefore, he asked disdainfully, "This is normal, but why did you come to me today?" ”

Cao Hong seemed to be accustomed to Wei Shuo's disdain for the family from the bottom of his heart, and now he no longer overreacted, he lowered his head slightly and said: "At the banquet, Wei Langjun seems to have not finished speaking, and today Cao came to ask for advice." ”

"Excuse me? Cao Langjun, you didn't take the wrong medicine, right? Shi Shiran, a child of your family, came to me to ask for advice, aren't you afraid of losing the face of your Cao family in Xuzhou? Wei Shuo was taken aback by Cao Hong's performance, and then he took a serious look at the other party.

Unexpectedly, Cao Hong was blushing by him, seeing Cao Hong so 'cute', Wei Shuo somehow suddenly remembered the modern popular little fresh meat, if Cao Hong lived in modern times, would he be able to mix well in the entertainment industry?

Seeing that Cao Hong was gradually showing some signs of annoyance and anger, Wei Shuo hurriedly said: "Actually, even if it spreads, the impact on your Cao family will not be too great, do you know why?" ”

"Something to do with the Hu people?" Cao Hong is really not an embroidered pillow, but there are still some dry goods in his stomach, in a word.

"That's right, at this juncture when the Hu people are about to go south to Xuzhou, everyone's attention to this kind of gossip will be very low. The focus of everyone's attention is on the Hu people, so even if there are any rumors and rumors, it will have no impact on your Cao family. ”

"Will the Hu people really come?"

"Uh-huh! One hundred percent will come, and within about a month, there should be a forward force of the Hu people in Xuzhou. ”

"With the strength of Xuzhou, can you stop the invasion of the Hu people?" Cao Hong asked nervously.

Wei Shuo smiled bitterly and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Cao Hong's face was pale and he muttered to himself: "It is absolutely unstoppable, unless the King of Langya in Jiangdong raises troops to help, it is impossible to prevent the next disaster from happening in Xuzhou alone." ”

"Do you know why I hate talk and metaphysics so much? For example, all the tragedies that are happening today are related to the fact that the court only cares about talking and does not care about practical work, if it is not, why would our Chinese nation suffer such a catastrophe! If it collapsed and the ground collapsed today, those boastful people smeared oil on the soles of their feet and ran to Jiangdong to continue to make nonsense, leaving only the ordinary Shu people wailing and struggling to survive under the iron hooves of the Hu people. ”

"That, that, that, what do you think?"

"Cao Langjun, I don't know, have you heard of the phrase 'practice makes true knowledge'? In fact, all the problems in this world can be solved through practice. If you don't find the answer to the question, it only means that you haven't practiced enough. As for your question, I don't have an exact answer either, because I'm still in practice. ”

"Practice? What's that? Cao Hong was always puzzled by Wei Shuo's new terms popping up from time to time.

"Practice, as the name suggests, is to practice one's words in reality, that is, everything that comes out of one's mouth must pass the test of reality. Practice is not like talking, she pays attention to practical work, and cannot just rely on her mouth. Take my military camp as an example, how to train the army, Cao Langjun must also have some opinions in his heart. ”

"But are your suggestions useful? Or what effect can it have in reality? This requires you to practice in reality to have results, not that you can train the soldier himself after sitting behind that big nonsense. ”
