Chapter Forty-Nine: Nan Ting, who showed his demeanor, entered the school, and the beloved daughter Emperor Wei made amends
Lu Duqing didn't pay attention to Wu Heng and the others, but just held the wat board in his hand, gave a deep salute, and said to Ji Hongduo: "When the proton of Qi State becomes an adult, what kind of person will we give to Qi State?" There are not only Qi and Wei in the world! β
The implication is that if you don't want to be ridiculed by the world, it's better not to do too well.
"Lu Qing is thinking far-reaching," he immediately said to the ministers in the hall, "Yan Nanting, the proton of the Qi Kingdom, has reached the age of enlightenment, and he is allowed to enter the Jiuzhang Academy to study with the princes. β
Wu Heng, who had touched a gray nose, returned to the general's mansion angrily, and before he could sit down, he asked the housekeeper to invite Shang En to come to discuss the matter.
Shang En had also heard a little about today's events, and he was thinking about how to solve Wu Heng along the way. What he is worried about now is whether Wei will cultivate a fearful opponent for himself. Judging from Yan Nanting's current light cough, this is not completely impossible, after all, what flows in his bones is the blood of Qi State. No matter how good Wei was to him, he was also an enemy who had humiliated his mother country.
But Emperor Wei had already made a decision, and Shang En thought that he could no longer speak out. Over the past three years, the situation in the DPRK and China has been very unfavorable to the military attachΓ©s. He Hanyun possessed the power of Yantian and seized a major economic lifeline of Wei. The two brothers, Zhu Cong and Zhu Min, are even more influenced by the remarks of the DPRK. Even the eunuch Xie Zhi held the supreme power to approve the recitals.
Only the military attachΓ©s of Wei State, who had a perennial truce, made them lose their value. What I am most afraid of now is that someone proposes to reduce the troops, so that Wu Heng will completely lose his support.
According to what he had thought before, Shang En's elegant face was facing a subtle smile, and he saw Wu Heng give a deep salute. Wu Heng gave him a hand and motioned for him to sit down and speak.
"General Ben is not as good as a year after year, and now even if the queen's father is on my side, it will be useless. Then what is Lu Duqing, and he can also make the Holy Lord agree to Yan Nanting's entry into the ninth chapter in a few words? β
Shane is a smart man, and he has to play the role of a listener now, and he can't speak until Wu Heng is done venting.
"Which piece of Wei territory was not bought by our generals desperately, and now that it is peaceful and prosperous, we can abandon it as if we were on our feet?"
The more Wu Heng spoke, the more angry he became, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and sat in his chair.
Seeing that he was almost finished, and all those unpleasant words were said, Shane echoed Wu Heng's words with the greatest empathy: "Isn't it? Seeing that the general is so angry, the subordinate is also wronged for you. β
Wu Heng, who got the resonance, couldn't help nodding, but fell into silence, he wanted to hear what Shane meant.
"However, we have to think about it from another angle, now you are still a tiger general with heavy troops, and Yan Nanting is a child after all. What can I do if I enter Jiuzhang Academy? I don't know if I'm good at learning or bad yet! As the saying goes, things are done by people, don't you think there are many things we can do? β
The words were all said to Wu Heng's heart, his tightly knit brows stretched a little bit, and he said to Shang En: "This is also the meaning of General Ben's urgent call to you." β
Shang En made a flattered appearance and said skillfully: "If the subordinate official has any words that match your heart, it will be the blessing of the subordinate official." It is an honor to share the worries of the general. β
"You are in the Nine Chapters Academy, how to teach him, what to teach him, it's up to you to get an idea!"
A matter of heart was solved, and Shang En fully understood what Wu Heng meant, and smiled tacitly at each other. But Wu Heng still has one more thing to ask Shang En: "Is that Fengyue Bai still reliable?" β
"Oh, Mr. Wind!"
Feng Yuebai no longer served in the mansion after the incident of Jing Zhaoyin, and instead entered the Jiuzhang Academy and became a teacher. Because of his rich education and magnanimity, it can be said that he has won the support of many students in Jiuzhang Academy.
"He is a young man with good learning, he is really more suitable for lecturing than being an official, and he is already able to take charge of Jiuzhang Academy on his own."
Shane didn't hesitate to praise Feng Yuebai at all, because he hadn't fully figured out the purpose of Wu Heng's question. But one thing, he is sure, Xiao Luoluo, the foreign lady of the Wu Mansion, often runs to the men's school, and always asks Feng Yuebai for advice. As for whether Wu Heng knew about this and whether he acquiesced? Shane didn't know, and it was not easy to ask directly.
What Wu Heng was thinking about was actually similar to what Shang En was thinking, and the matter about Xiao Luoluo's liking for Fengyuebai had recently reached his ears. It's just that I don't know what kind of character this Feng Yuebai is, I wanted to ask Shane a question or two, but my own family is a daughter after all, so how can I open this mouth.
After a few more gossips, Shane said that there was still something to attend to in the academy, so he got up and took his leave.
"Master, Miss Sun is back!"
Xiao Luoluo's carriage stopped, and the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion hurriedly ran in to report, Wu Heng only asked, "How is she feeling?" β
"Naturally, it's good, laughing and humming a little song!"
It's worth it! Wu Heng was so annoyed that her eyebrows were raised, and she asked the housekeeper to take her over for questioning.
My grandfather rarely saw Xiao Luoluo in person, and even when he did, he always had a serious face, so every time he heard him hear, Xiao Luoluo lost his soul.
"Why don't we ask the old lady for help?"
The personal maid Linglu was giving Luoluo a bad idea again, and she was once moved, but she remembered that she didn't see her grandfather for hiding for herself last time, which caused them to quarrel, and Luoluo couldn't help it. After hesitating for a long time, gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, let's go see my grandfather.
If it were normal, she wouldn't have to be so nervous, mainly because today she had the courage to contradict the second princess Ji Jinyu, but I was afraid that my grandfather would kill herself for this matter.
"Zero Lu, just tell me, is there anything wrong with Miss Ben today?" Xiao Luoluo looked angry, waiting for Ling Lu to ask.
However, she had asked countless times when she came back along the way. Ling Lu had to be patient and support his master: "The second princess has no respect for her elders, and she makes Mrs. Xuan ugly in public, asking 'How many good teas have you eaten, and what rare things have you seen' and other foolish words." Miss should also defend Mrs. Xuan! β
With the courage of Linglu's words, Xiao Luoluo straightened his waist and walked towards Wu Heng's study.
When I arrived at the study, I was told that Wu Heng was already waiting in the dining hall, so he changed to the dining hall.
"Although your surname is Xiao, you grew up in my Wu family, what is the Wu family's family motto, do you remember?"
When Xiao Luoluo heard this, he knelt on the ground with his skirt and recited loudly to heaven and earth: "Wu's family motto: be loyal and do your best!" β
Wu Heng nodded with satisfaction, although Xiao Luoluo was a daughter, she had a manly demeanor in her words, so he asked her again: "What do you mean?" β
"The Wu family is a family of military generals, and the descendants have been riding horses and archery for generations, guarding the peace of the Wei State, and they will be loyal to the monarch, work tirelessly, and die with all their might!"
"What about my daughter?"
It seems that what was just said is aimed at boys, but what about girls? When she was young, she followed the family motto memorized by her brothers, and she really didn't know what her daughter should do. Sneaking a glance at her grandmother, her extremely calm face made Xiao Luoluo a little nervous.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Luoluo decided to say according to his own understanding: "The daughter of the Wu Mansion does not need to go to the battlefield, but she is not afraid of going to the battlefield, and she can't shorten the ambition of a man." In addition, a woman should be loyal and strong, and not disgrace her family. β
I don't know why my grandfather suddenly asked about this, but Xiao Luoluo tried his best to answer.
"You can remember what you said today, be loyal and strong, and don't do anything that insults the Wu family."
Speaking of which, she was just an eleven-year-old child, and Wu Heng couldn't bear to say anything more, lest she be difficult to be a person in the future. He turned to his wife and said, "Your own children should be more or less rigorously educated, otherwise it will be unpleasant for people to talk about it." β
There was something in this, and Mrs. Wu, who was twisting and turning, didn't like to hear it, picked up the chopsticks on the table, sandwiched a basket of vegetables for Wu Heng, and said, "Let's eat, I know what to do." β
Luoluo has grown up, and there are some things that her grandmother should really teach her, which is a layer of meaning that Mrs. Wu can understand.
Xiao Luoluo sat down to eat with a little joy, and at the beginning he thought that he was going to be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall today, but he didn't want it to end so soon. And my grandfather didn't mention anything about today's school at all, so it seems that he hadn't heard of it yet.
Xiao Luoluo, who was worried, ate the first bite of food, but Mrs. Xuan in Yuyang Palace cried in front of Emperor Wei.
"The concubine said that she didn't talk about tea art, you said that it was okay, and before she said a few words, the second princess deliberately shamed the concubine...... Woowoo woo ......"
In order to show his sincerity in making amends, Emperor Wei also specially gave Mrs. Xuan some of this year's tribute tea Longjing, but Mrs. Xuan, who was angry, ate this set, and learned the appearance of Jinyu and said: "Cheesy, the tea you are talking about is vulgar tea, only the tea of the queen mother still has some meaning, with flowers and fruits into the tea, the incense is the incense between heaven and earth, and the water is the water without roots in the world." β
"Hahaha!"
Ji Hongduo smiled unkindly, because as soon as Mrs. Xuan learned, he could imagine what Jinyu looked like. He Qingmei glared at him fiercely, ignoring him completely. Ji Hongduo hurriedly comforted again: "Concubine Ai, you see that I have come to apologize in person, you can dissipate your anger, adults don't remember villains." She's a kid after all! β
Yes, Jinyu's seven-year-old girl, isn't she just a child! However, the words that come out of her mouth are definitely not what a child can say. This Mrs. Qiu Xuan wrote it down, the so-called heroes don't suffer immediate losses, Emperor Wei apologized, and his goal was achieved.
"Punish you for making a pot of tea for your concubine, otherwise this matter will not be over!"
"Okay!"
Ji Hongduo walked out with the tea leaves, and after a while, he really brought a hot dragon well, and Mrs. Xuan took a sip before she was deflated.
