Chapter 31: Apprenticeship
Wei Wei put the paper ball in his hand under the oil seal and lit it, and after burning out, he took her hand and said, "Deeper and heavier, rest early, and continue to write tomorrow." ”
Yuan Xuan didn't think about any lyrics anymore, and followed him to the bedside, and diligently helped him take off his shoes and socks and coat.
At this time, it was indeed not early, and after she went to lie down in her bed, Wei Wei spread her hair and went to extinguish the oil lamp.
After a long time, Yuan Xuan thought that Wei Wei had fallen asleep, turned sideways and gently put his arm on his stomach.
She whispered his name and didn't hear a response, she continued to murmur in a very shallow voice: "Thank you for forgiving me, I thought you would be separated from me from now on, and I have been feeling sad and blaming myself." It's good that you didn't do this to me, Wei Wei, you're so good. ”
In the dark, the corners of Wei Wei's mouth curved, and after closing his eyes, his breathing gradually stabilized.
The next day, when Yuan Xuan woke up, it was still dawn, but the place around him was already empty. I don't know when he got up, but the bed has no temperature.
Hearing the sound of the children in the courtyard, she began to get dressed and get up, and make the bed and desk.
After leaving the room, he saw that the three children not far away, one big and two young, were squatting in the courtyard, and Yuan smiled clearly.
Glancing at Wei Wei, who was guarding with a stick on the side, she thought to herself that in the future, she would just ask him how to educate these two children.
If there is really something that can't be seen, she will be a confidant sister to enlighten them, in short, she will not quarrel with Wei Wei because of this.
At this time, it was the youngest Pei Xingyan who made a sound, and his legs were shaking like a sieve of chaff at this time, and his face was covered with sweat.
He didn't get up without permission, and he didn't know if he was afraid of the stick in Wei Wei's hand, or for some other reason.
followed by Gao Qi, it seems that he is also about to reach the limit, and he is gritting his teeth and insisting.
He is almost ten years old, past the best age for martial arts, and he does not expect to learn anything famous.
He was mainly moved by his father to have a good relationship with Wei Wei, and followed him to read and write.
At this time, the most stable state is to bite the gold, he is tied to the horse, punching left and right, punching the wind, but the lower body is as stable as Mount Tai.
Yuan Xuan pretended not to see his nephew's poor cry for help, and saw that Cui's and mother-in-law were busy in the hall, so he went straight to the latrine.
The latrine was in the easternmost corner, next to the vegetable patch, and she took a look to see what was growing here.
By the time she got to the eaves again, Xing Yan was already sitting on the ground, and Wei Wei was kneading his thighs. He wanted to cry again when he saw Yuanxuan, but after thinking about what his aunt had said, he finally held back.
Gao Qi also stopped, and he followed the method that Wei Wei taught him, and relaxed his thighs by himself.
Only Biting Jin is still insisting, but it seems that he can't hold on for long, his body began to lean forward, and his half-squatting posture has changed a little.
Yuan Xuan couldn't intervene in the affairs in the hall, so she simply took the embroidered frame to sew the clothes, and looked at Wei Wei and the others with great interest while sewing the clothes of the two children.
After the squatting step, Wei Wei didn't let them rest for long, and after about half an hour, he began to let the three of them wrestle with each other.
Right next to that pit, a lot of soft dirt was dug up yesterday, just to use as a mat for them.
At this time, great strength has an advantage, don't look at Gao Qi's age, but he is the one who has been pressed to the ground the most. Secondly, of course, it is okay, after all, the block of gold is so big.
Yuan Xuan watched the three of them come and go and fall down repeatedly, and got up again, and couldn't help but admire their perseverance.
Wei Wei instructed them in wrestling skills, and at the end of the day, all three of them were dirty, and he took them to Gao Qi's house to take a bath.
After breakfast, they didn't continue to practice, Wei Wei asked Jin to teach Xingyan and Gao Qi to read and read the surnames of the hundred families at Gao Qi's house, and he went to the village to invite a few men to come to the house to build a house.
The courtyard was full of men, and Yuan Xuan had been hanging outside, so he continued to copy the female commandments that he hadn't finished copying last night in the room.
By noon, she found herself getting colder and colder, and her abdomen aching. I went to the toilet and looked at it, and it turned out to be a menstrual event.
The last time she came here was three months ago, and at this time she remembered this day in her heart, so she went to boil some brown sugar water to drink.
The day soon came to the twenty-third day of the lunar month, this day was the day of biting gold and Xingyan apprenticeship, and early in the morning, Pei Yuanfei and Liu came to the Wei family with the apprenticeship ceremony.
Yuan Xuan's father and mother were not absent, and not long after the son and daughter-in-law arrived, they also came to the door with a thick gift.
Xingyan has grown a lot in just a few days, and at this time, with Wei Wei's permission, he trotted to his mother's side.
This time, he didn't stretch out his hand to let her hug her, but first gave a big gift to his father and mother in a dignified manner, and then got up to give a family salute.
This action brought tears to the eyes of the husband and wife, and they sighed that they had only seen each other for a few days, and the child knew a lot of rules.
Mother Wei and Mother Pei held hands and talked affectionately, and after a while, the apprenticeship ceremony officially began.
Wei Wei didn't invite other observers, the officiant was Uncle Dacheng, and he had already made preparations.
Yuan Xuan also has to follow Wei Wei to accept the bow today, she got up early in the morning and put on light makeup, not as playful as in the past, today she looks particularly dignified.
At the end of the day, the apprenticeship ceremony officially began, and everything was ready to be put in place. The first step is to bow down to the patriarch and offer incense.
Biting Jin and Xingyan wore new clothes made by Yuan Xuan, and after straightening their clothes, they followed Uncle Dacheng's prompt to kneel down in front of the portrait. Then get up and plant incense, the process is solemn.
The second step is to serve tea, Wei Wei and Yuan Xuan sat on the top one left and one right, and accepted the kneeling of the two with a slight smile and served tea. The scene was extraordinarily quiet, and the few people who were there just watched quietly.
The last step was teacher training, Yuan Xuan straightened his back and sat in his place, watching Wei Wei admonish the two apprentices with a straight face. Time passed minute by minute, and by the time the apprenticeship was over, nearly an hour had passed.
After the ceremony, Yuan Xuan went back to the house to change her clothes, the clothes on her body were a little cumbersome, and it was not very convenient to move. Another point is that the color is not resistant to dirt and is not suitable for wearing in life.
After changing her clothes, she pointed to the soybeans that had been soaked in advance and said to the two children with a smile: "Bite the gold, okay, come and help the master grind the beans." ”
"Here we go."
Biting Jin responded loudly and ran over first.
Xing Yan and Gao Qi soon ran over, and the three of them have been used to cooperating in the past few days, which is a piece of cake for them. Yuan Xuan watched from the sidelines, and after a while, they grinded a bucket of bean dregs and came out.
Pei's mother also watched from the sidelines, and kept saying that her grandson had grown up and was sensible.
Yuan Xuan saw that Xingyan's eyes were getting redder and redder, and whispered to her: "Mother, don't say a word, he has suffered a lot in the past few days, don't cry anymore." ”
