In the next few days, Wei Yining was preparing to pack.

It wasn't until the day of leaving Beijing was set that she went to Mrs. Zhu's side to say goodbye.

It was snowing, and it was noticeably colder than usual.

When Mrs. Zhu saw her coming, she thought that as usual, it was just a daily walk. Then he smiled and said: "Just now I was discussing with Ruyi about such a cold zenith delicious steamed lamb, but it happened that you came, I remember that you love to eat mutton, and there are also bad quail pheasants, which are also very good." Let them burn the pot around the stove, and you will simply live here today. ”

"The old lady is in good spirits, how can I be disappointed?" Wei Yining said with a smile: "I don't plan to go back to the house today." ”

Mrs. Zhu was of course happy to hear this, and said to the maids and ladies who were serving on the side: "I said earlier that the five girls are the most filial, so you can quickly send a message to the kitchen and let them prepare." ”

The two mothers-in-law agreed, Wei Yining accompanied Mrs. Zhu to talk about family affairs for a while, and when she saw that Wei Hongan was not around, she said: "I went to the study to see Hongan, I haven't seen him for a few days, and he hasn't come to my side these days." ”

"Go ahead, don't tell him to always read," Mrs. Zhu said, "Everyone expects their children to study hard, but he also works too hard, which makes people feel distressed." ”

"Okay, I'll go and bring him here." Wei Yining said: "Where is the time to finish the book?" It's time to play, too. ”

Wei Yining went to the study and saw Wei Hongan practicing calligraphy there, stepped forward to take a look, and said, "This time it looks much stronger than before." ”

"It was the White Crane Weng sticker given to me by Lord Yushi, and I practiced it for half a month before I figured out something about it." Wei Hongan put down his pen when he saw his sister coming, and his expression was obviously very happy.

"You also have to spend some time with your grandmother every day, and don't always shut yourself in the study." Wei Yining said: "Sister doesn't come often, so it's up to you." ”

"I remember my sister, and I will spend more time with my grandmother every day in the future." Wei Hongan said: "Has my brother-in-law written again?" How is he in Liangzhou? ”

"I didn't write from it, I think it's just a daily camp defense campaign," Wei Yining said: "Hongan, my sister has something to tell you." I'm going to Liangzhou in two days, and I'll write to you when I get there. ”

"Is this leaving? It's not that you have to wait for the New Year. Wei Hongan was a little surprised when he heard this.

"It just so happened that the imperial court had a batch that needed to be transported over, so I followed it all the way." Wei Yining tried to say it lightly: "I haven't told my grandmother about this yet, seeing that she is in good spirits today, I can't bear to spoil her interest, and I'll tell her tomorrow." ”

"Sister, can you take me with you?" Wei Hongan asked.

"Of course my sister can't bear you," Wei Yining said and hugged her younger brother in her arms: "But first, it is bitterly cold and dangerous in Liangzhou, and secondly, grandmother can't leave you." If I take you away, it will be like plucking my grandmother's heart and liver, and it will kill her! ”

Wei Hongan was silent when he heard his sister say this, he is a sensible child and will not mess around.

"Don't be sad, my sister promised you that she would write to you often." Wei Yining said: "If you really want to go to the border to see, you can go in a few years." ”

"And who's going with you?" Wei Hongan asked: "Are there many people accompanying you along the way?" You said the border was dangerous, but you still went, and I was worried about you. ”

"My sister is an adult after all, and she is not a weak woman who is powerless." Wei Yining explained him: "What's more, grandpa is there, I will go sooner or later." ”

"Sister, you don't know how many years you will have to go back to Beijing, right?" Although Wei Hongan is small, he is very thoughtful: "If you can't go back to Beijing by the time I'm fifteen years old, I'll go to Liangzhou to see you." ”

"Okay, sister promises you." Wei Yining nodded solemnly.

The two sisters and brothers came to Mrs. Zhu's side hand in hand, and the snow was even heavier at this time.

When the two of them entered the house, Mrs. Zhu ordered someone to quickly take off their clothes and sit in front of the smoker.

"Baby, what do you want to eat today? Ask the kitchen man to make it. Mrs. Zhu rubbed Wei Hongan's face and said, "I see that you have lost weight for a while, and you are not allowed to study so hard tomorrow." ”

"Grandmother, grandson is not thin." Wei Hongan said: "It's grown taller." ”

"Elders are like this, the more they hurt someone, the more they feel that they are thin." Wei Yining smiled on the side: "Hongan has indeed grown taller these days. ”

"It's a good thing to grow taller, and eat more." Mrs. Zhu said, "I want the kitchen to cook two more dishes that he likes to eat." ”

After the dishes were served, Wei Yining's sister and brother sat on both sides of Mrs. Zhu, and called Aunt Sang and Wei Yirong.

Wei Yining knew that the old man loved to be lively, so he spontaneously broke the rule of not eating and sleeping.

asked Aunt Sang at the banquet: "Why did Auntie come over so late today?" ”

"I first did needlework in my own room, I didn't know you were here, and then I went to the kitchen to have a look." Aunt Sang replied: "Speaking of which, you have indeed not come back for a while, county lord. The last time was before the seven girls of the Wei family passed by! ”

"It's really painful to say." Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but sigh when she heard this: "The young child said that it was gone." ”

"It's my fault, how did I bring it up." Aunt Sang regretted her words: "I should say something happy." ”

So Wei Yining pulled the words to something else.

Winter days are short, and after lunch, it doesn't take long for evening to arrive.

Mrs. Zhu is an elderly person, and she never dares to eat enough for dinner, so it is mostly porridge soup.

Wei Yining and the others followed, and the dinner was red rice porridge, accompanied by salt-soaked pheasant and sour bamboo shoots.

Wei Yining served Mrs. Zhu to rest, and then turned off the lights for Wei Hongan before returning to his residence.

After breakfast the next day, Wei Yining told her grandmother euphemistically that she was going to Liangzhou.

The old lady was speechless for a long time, and then sighed and said, "Sooner or later, there will be this day, so if you want to go, you can go boldly and boldly." Don't worry about the family, we are naturally taken care of. It's you, when you go out, and the place you go to is dangerous, you must pay attention to safety. You are not destined to be a canary in a cage, and you will help your grandfather when you go to Liangzhou. Most of them will achieve a good story, and it will also give us the face of the guard. ”

"Thank you grandmother for your understanding, my granddaughter will definitely be careful, and I ask my grandmother to take care. When I come back from Liangzhou, I will serve you well. To be honest, it is impossible for Wei Yining's heart not to be sad. My grandmother is eighty years old this year, and she doesn't know when the battle will end.

Wei Yining is unwilling to endure the pain of being a child who wants to raise but does not treat his relatives, but too often loyalty and filial piety cannot be both.
