On the eighteenth day of the winter month of the fourth year of the Jokhang Apocalypse, when the first snowflakes fell to the earth, a baby's cry came from the home of Shen Kuang, the general of Houshu, and his wife Wei Wanyan gave birth to a daughter for him.

At that time, Wei Wenweng looked at a green bamboo in the snow, hugged his infant granddaughter and said: "Songyun is cold and unchanged, and the festival of Songyun is precious, so call her Yun'er." ”

Shen Changsong, who was less than five years old, was very happy when he heard it, but his grandmother, Mrs. Zhong, frowned and said: "Yun, the hardness of bamboo skin, girl, what to do with such a tough name, it's better to be soft." ”

Wen Weng listened and hurriedly said, "What does the lady think is good?" ”

Everyone knows that Wei Wenweng is the best in the world, and the only weakness is probably the fear of guilt, and Mrs. Zhong has the final say in all matters in the family, so he just held back his smile and waited for Mrs. Zhong's next step.

Mrs. Zhong glanced at him, thought for a while, and said, "However, Shen Yun Shen Yun, it is still smooth to read it, and it sounds like we are indeed brothers and sisters with our Changsong." Saying that, he hugged her over, kissed her little face and said, "Oh, our little kiss is so handsome, other children are wrinkled when they are born, how can our little kiss be beautiful." ”

Changsong listened on the sidelines: "Kiss... Qingqing... The vial Mei Rui Xie Qingqing, why don't we call my sister Qingqing in the future. ”

When the adults heard this, they all felt that this name was kind and elegant, so they all nodded in agreement.

Just when their family was happily busy around the mother and the newborn baby, Cao Chan, the Shu Emperor in the palace, was also holding an album in his hand and quietly listening to the report of the national teacher.

"Your Majesty, this daughter of General Shen's family, it's amazing, Your Majesty, look, her birthday is eight characters, all sitting on the heavenly plate, this is the queen's life, although there are 'seven killings' and 'God of Food', but it has formed a rare combination of eating injuries and killings, although the marriage process has twists and turns, it is extremely expensive, and it is also the day of the emergence of heavenly nobles, which is even more expensive."

Cao Chan's eyes lit up, "What does the national teacher mean by this?" ”

The national teacher said: "Your Majesty, whoever gets this woman can win the world." ”

When Cao Chan heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said with a laugh: "Can you win the world?" For example, today's three points, the puppet dynasty occupies most of the territory of the Central Plains, and the Zhao State confronts it south of Huaishui. ”

The national teacher smiled deeply: "The world that the minister said is naturally the world after the unification of the country." ”

Cao Chan was stunned when he heard this, and a greedy smile appeared on his face, he took the album and thought for a moment, picked up the pen and changed the date of "November 18th of the 10th year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty" to "17", and then handed it to the attendant next to him and said: "Take it to the household registration office for archiving." Then he got up and said to the national teacher: "Let's go, let's go to the general's mansion to see that little girl." ”

In the general's mansion here, Shen Kuangzheng comforted Wei Wanyan softly: "Wan'er, don't worry, the situation on Qingqing's side is fine, Lang Zhong also said that it is because you are pregnant and cold, so she will be born weaker than ordinary children, spitting up milk or something, it is not a big problem, besides, she is a girl, and she will not have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future, even if she is born weaker in the future, just pamper her, are we afraid that our family will not be able to raise her?" But you, who are still in the middle of the month, should not be worried and sad. ”

Wan Yan said: "That being said, who is a mother who doesn't want her child to be healthy and live a long life, I see that she is so small and so weak, how can I not worry." ”

Shen Kuang was about to say something more, but he heard someone outside say, "Your Majesty has arrived." When he and his wife heard this, they were slightly surprised, what is the emperor doing here? Despite this, Shen Kuang didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went out.

At that time, Wei Wenweng and Mrs. Zhong were helping to take care of the newborn in the nursing room, and when they heard this sound, they hurriedly greeted it.

Cao Chan entered the general's mansion, and as soon as he saw a few people kneeling on the ground, he came over to help him, and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, everyone Aiqing is exempt from courtesy." When they all got up, he said, "I heard that the general has won another daughter, congratulations, where is the child, bring it to me quickly." ”

Everyone listened and looked at each other, Shen Kuang knew that the Shu Emperor in his early thirties in front of him was very deep, and this time he didn't know what medicine was sold in his gourd, but the emperor had ordered it, and he had to order someone to call the nurse to take Qingqing out.

As soon as Cao Chan saw Qingqing, he stretched out his hand and hugged her, but he himself didn't coax the child, seeing her fall asleep with half-squinted eyes, he shook her vigorously, and said: "This child doesn't smile." Shen Kuang felt distressed, but he could only endure and said: "Your Majesty, she is still young, how can she know what laughter is." ”

As he was talking, Qingqing was so upset by him that she cried "wow", and spit out the milk on Cao Chan while crying, everyone was shocked, and Shen Kuang hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty forgives you, Your Majesty forgives you." ”

That Cao Chan was originally smoked by the smell of milk, and his face showed some disgust, but he didn't know what he thought of, and he changed his attitude in an instant, and said happily: "It's okay, it's okay, children, it's all like this, this is also fate." As he spoke, he handed Qingqing to the nurse on the side, walked over to help him up, and said, "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, by the way, I also brought you a congratulatory gift today." ”

After he finished speaking, he beckoned, and the servant took a bow, Shen Kuang naturally knew that it was a treasure bow, how could he not like it, but he politely pushed it back, and accepted it.

At this time, Emperor Shu suddenly said: "I heard that Shen Aiqing has recently been studying a unique chess book that your old Taishan has just surveyed, I wonder if I am fortunate enough to take a look?" ”

Shen Kuang and Wei Wenweng glanced at each other, they didn't know what his intentions were, and at the same time, they were secretly frightened, Emperor Shu had always been suspicious, and his methods were ruthless, and now he didn't know how many eyeliners were placed around them, and he even knew what books he usually read, which was terrifying. Therefore, he didn't dare to hide it, and said honestly: "Your Majesty is serious, the chess game is in the minister's study at the moment, please sit down for a while, and the minister will go and get it." As he spoke, he was about to turn around and go to the study, but his wrist was grabbed by Cao Chan, only to hear him squint and smile: "Why bother so much, I can go with Aiqing." ”

Shen Kuang was a little uneasy in his heart, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to walk with him to the study.

When he found the chess book, Cao Chan just sat down in front of the bookcase and flipped through it at will, then tucked it in his sleeve and said, "Very good, very good, can Aiqing borrow me to study for some time?" ”

Shen Kuang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is serious. ”

When Cao Chan heard this, he squinted and smiled again, and then retreated left and right, leaving only the national teacher, Shen Kuang saw it, and he was even more puzzled.

I saw that the national teacher closed the door tightly, and then said to Shen Kuang: "Has the general ever found someone to see the eight characters of the son-in-law?" ”

Shen Kuang replied honestly: "I haven't seen it yet." ”

"That's very good. The general knows, what is the life of the son-in-law? ”

Shen Kuang did not answer, but an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"It is the most noble queen among women."

Shen Kuang heard this and exclaimed, "How is it possible." ”

Cao Chanyin smiled sympathetically and said, "Aiqing's reaction like this..."

Shen Kuang hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister just thinks this matter is too absurd." ”

Cao Chan picked up the paper and pen and ink in his hand, and said faintly: "It's really too absurd, so Aiqing must not talk about this to others." After speaking, he wrote a few words on the paper and threw the pen away, "But Aiqing can teach her more about the virtues of the concubine, and when she grows up, I will send someone to greet her and allow her to be in the middle palace, Aiqing thinks it's good?" Without waiting for Shen Kuang to answer, he said again: "It's just that Aiqing has to remember the time above, and don't make a mistake when she mentions the day of her birth in front of people in the future." As he spoke, he got up and led the national teacher towards the door, and said as he walked: "I will go back to the palace first, Aiqing doesn't have to come out to send it." ”

Shen Kuangfu knelt on the ground and said, "Minister, send your majesty." ”

When the two of them left, Shen Kuang walked to the bookcase and saw that the paper read: Shen's Nuyun, born on November 17 in the tenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty. I couldn't help but feel sad from it, and when I was secretly sad, I heard the servant and maid say outside the door: "General, Madame is not very good, please go and take a look." ”

Shen Kuang was shocked again, and hurriedly put the paper in his sleeve, and came to Wei Wanyan's room, and as soon as he walked to the court, he saw the family chasing Shen Changsong who was holding the treasure bow and running all over the courtyard, and he cut the bowstring with a dagger while running, and said loudly: "Take a broken bow, do you want to change my sister." ”

He hurriedly went over and snatched the dagger from his hand and said, "Nonsense, how dangerous it is to run with a dagger, didn't I teach you?" As he spoke, he slapped him twice on the buttocks, Changsong was in pain, and cried: "Does Daddy really want to exchange his sister for this bow?" I heard it outside the study just now, and when I went to ask Weng Weng and his mother, they just hugged my sister and cried..."

When Shen Kuang heard this, he was anxious and angry: "Why are you so ignorant, your mother is still in the middle of the month, where can you hear this." ”

He frightened Chang Song like this, and he forgot to howl for a while, and at this time, he saw the housekeeper leading Lang Zhong to hurry to Wanyan's room, so he left Chang Song, and hurriedly followed behind Lang Zhong and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The housekeeper said: "The little boy didn't know what to say when he went to the lady's room, and the lady was so angry that she fainted from crying, so the old lady called Lang Zhong to come." ”

Shen Kuang sighed when he heard this, and when he arrived in Wanyan's room, he really saw that her eyes were closed, her face was full of tears, and her breath was very weak, and he was even more anxious. When she woke up, she was busy comforting her, but she cried sadly: "What queen's life is unspeakable, I only pity my daughter, when she grows up, she will marry a person who has passed half a hundred, and spend her youth in the high wall, no matter how honorable she is, what joy is life?" ”

Shen Kuang and Wei Wenweng were also speechless when they heard her words, and their faces were sad, but at this time, Mrs. Zhong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "Then what do you mean, from today onwards, you will have to talk about this matter every day, and let her spend it in the miserable wind and rain since she was a child?" ”

When the three people heard this, they were all stunned, and they only heard her continue: "How can I give birth to such a promising daughter as you, it is foreseeable that she will not have a good life after the age of seventeen or eighteen, so let her enjoy life before this, and she is not dead immediately after the age of eighteen, people live for a lifetime, and there are more interesting things than men and women, where is it to the point of being happy." ”

As she spoke, she took the sleeping baby from the nurse's hand, gently touched her immature little face with her fingers, and said softly to Wanyan: "Wan'er, for my mother to understand your worries as a mother, Cao Chan is such a scheming person, his harem is even more smoky, and I am afraid that Qingqing's life will not be easy in the future." But there are some things that can't be avoided, what you should do more is to cheer up and teach your daughter well enough, so that no one can bully her, so that it is a far-reaching plan for her. ”

Wan Yan looked at her mother's eyes, the firmness in her eyes made her forget to cry, and she stayed for a long time before taking her daughter from her arms, exhaling and saying, "Mother is right, I am confused." ”

When she came out of the moon safely, Wei Wenweng and his wife naturally returned home with peace of mind, but since Mrs. Zhong's words, their family really cheered up, and took care of Qingqing, the pearl of the whole family, with peace of mind.

Time flies, three or four years have passed in a blink of an eye, when Wan Yan taught Qingqing's poem 300 to the last one, Qingqing, who was less than four years old, suddenly asked: "Mother, I heard Sister Changxi say that her master taught her 300 poems, and the first sentence was: 'Poems 300, in a word, are innocent. What does that mean? ”

Wan Yan smiled and said: "Don't listen to those rotten nonsense, let's learn poetry, don't drop the book bag like those people, quote the classics, what's the point, you read a poem, what does it mean when you read it, then what does it mean, and when you have more experience in the future, you will naturally have a different opinion, don't set limits for yourself early because of the words of your predecessors, but lose your true meaning." ”

Qingqing listened, nodded as if she didn't understand, and then asked: "She also said that this is about the virtue of the concubine, what is the virtue of the concubine?" ”

Wan Yan listened, lost her mind for a while, and then stroked her soft hair and said: "It's not the virtue of the concubine, it has nothing to do with that, it's about how you should find the joy of life." ”

Qingqing tilted her head and looked at her and said, "The fun of life? Do you still need to look for this? It's good to be alive, you can eat osmanthus cakes, sugar gourds, you can also go to the mountains to ride horses, go to the river to touch fish, watch my brothers throw pots, fight crickets..."

Wan Yan looked at her clear eyes, and felt that there was starlight shining in them, so she smiled unconsciously, and the haze in her heart dissipated a lot, and hugged her and said, "Yes, yes, your brother will take you for a day without doing your job, right?" Hurry up and bring the needle and thread, I said it when I ate sugar gourd yesterday, and I want to learn female celebrity from today. ”

When Qingqing heard this, she broke free from her arms, and said with a pout: "Don't don't, don't learn from female red, don't learn from female red." "I was about to cry when I said it.

Wan Yan said helplessly: "You kid, why are you like this, talking so doesn't count?" After thinking about it, he said, "That's it." It's okay if you don't learn to be a female celebrity, then play chess. ”

Who knew that Qingqing deflated her mouth even more, and ran to the court while shouting "Don't play chess, don't play chess", and met Shen Kuang who had returned home, so he hugged his legs, and said while crying: "Daddy, I don't want to play chess, my mother bullies me every time I play chess, and I have never won." ”

Shen Kuang hurriedly picked her up and said, "Okay, okay, don't play chess, don't play chess." ”

Wan Yan had already chased her out with a feather duster at this time, and was about to whip her when she raised her hand, but was stopped by Shen Kuang and said: "Why do you keep beating her, if you don't play chess, you won't play chess, what's the big deal." ”

Wan Yan said angrily: "Did I smoke her because she didn't play chess?" It's because her own words don't count, and she can't afford to lose. ”

"Oh, she's a little kid, and she always loses when she plays chess with you, so of course she's not happy."

"Who made her so stupid, she taught for so long, she didn't grow at all, and she didn't know what to do. If you're used to her again, believe it or not, I'll smoke you together. ”

"Oh, ma'am, angry, angry. That's it, Qingqing, is it good for Daddy to play chess with you, and I guarantee that you can win. ”

As he spoke, he hugged Qingqing to the chessboard, and patiently dug out her mind to let her win a game, but Qingqing was so happy that she clapped her hands and went to Changsong to show off.

Here, Wan Yan raised his forehead and sighed: "Alas, you just get used to her, how good will it be in the future." ”

Shen Kuang walked up to her, took her into his arms and said, "It's just playing chess, how can it affect the future?" ”

"Playing chess is the best way to see the mind, you said that if she doesn't learn to be smarter, how will she be able to fight those in the future..."

"Wan'er, don't you think she's smart? Less than four years old, the Analects of Poetry is like a stream, tossing up her brother to his subordinates and never showing mercy, as for the chess skills are not proficient, probably because there are always a few perfect people in the world, how can they all be like Yuezhang, far away, isn't your piano skills like that? Last night, I played a good night introduction, and I made a few mistakes. ”

Wan Yan's face was slightly red, he glanced at him, and muttered: "Didn't I want to get Zhou Lang Gu and flick the strings by mistake from time to time?" ”

Shen Kuang smiled, didn't dare to refute, and said in his heart, just forget what you say.

If the years have been so quiet, it will be a great blessing in life, but fate always loves to play tricks, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a loving husband and wife to come to an end, and the loving couple of General Shen and Mrs. Wei cannot escape the curse. It didn't take long for a time illness to take Wan Yan away, Qingqing was only a little over four years old at that time, and he didn't understand the difference between life and death, just watching his brother and adults cry, he cried with him, so he was sick all day long, which made people feel distressed. Old Madam Zhong saw that Shen Kuang was depressed, as if she couldn't get over this hurdle for a while, and she was afraid that the children would not be properly taken care of with him, so she took Qingqing and Changsong to her side and raised them.
