Chapter 29: Apprenticeship

The next day, Zhu Lei came with the He family, but he also brought the pearl that Wei Chang rewarded last night, and the He family said on his behalf: "He should save the second grandson, and it is also the second grandson Jiren has his own natural appearance, he just happened to pass by and take a hand." Where can I ask for a young lady's reward? What's more, in the past few years, the young lady has also taken great care of him. ”

Wei Changying saw how much Miao's mother and son hated yesterday, and how pleasing to Zhu Lei was today, especially Zhu Lei is still Jiang Zheng's disciple, and she can even be regarded as her junior brother, so she said with Yan Yue at this moment: "It's not good to calculate like this, if it weren't for Zhu Lei's generous help yesterday, Guang'er he would ......" Thinking of the danger at that time, even after a night, Wei Changying's mood calmed down a lot, and he couldn't help but redden his eyes at this moment.

He hurriedly stepped forward to be relieved, and it took a while for Wei Changying to clean up his emotions and say, "Auntie, you are my 'nurse' mother, I was raised by you, and they are all my own people, so I won't say anything about it." Originally, thinking of my aunt and Uncle Jiang, I wouldn't have treated Zhu Lei badly. Now that Zhu Lei has made this great contribution and saved Guang'er, it is equivalent to saving my life, if such a great favor is not repaid, I will definitely not be able to get over it. ”

Speaking of this, the He family couldn't stop it anymore, so he said: "Then the young lady can reward him with anything, but there are too many pearls." Even if he starts a family in the future, he won't need so much. ”

Wei Changying waved his hand to stop the He family, and said to Zhu Lei: "We all learn from Jiang Bo, and strictly speaking, we are not outsiders." You are not welcome, but whatever I have, whatever I can do, you can do it. ”

This Zhu Lei grew old when he was a teenager a few years ago before he tied his hair, and in the past two years, he has traveled in Youyan, dyed a little frost, and he looks more and more rude, looking like a bearded man who is over thirty years old. It's just that he looked very embarrassed at the moment, and said quite awkwardly: "My generation of martial artists, the one who acts chivalrous and righteous...... Uh......"

Halfway through the words, he was glared at by He's family, and then he realized that he wasn't traveling, and he 'touched' his head in a sneering way-Wei Changying burst out laughing and said to He's: "It seems that when Zhu Lei traveled, he didn't do a lot of chivalrous deeds?" ”

He said: "He's just wandering around." I went out for a few years, and when I came back, I was still alone! ”

Wei Changying naturally helped Zhu Lei at this moment and said: "Marriage is a major event, it is better to be an elder and give the palm of the hand." Zhu Lei, doesn't he respect his aunt and Uncle Jiang, so he doesn't 'privately' make a lifelong decision? ”

"It's been these days, and it's still like this." The meaning of He's words is very clear.

Wei Changying sank 'groaned': "The few people in front of me are also neat, and they are also diligent and clever......

The ambassadors around her are now at the time of Xu Ren, and they will definitely get married after serving for another year or two at most. The future master's mother's close 'servant', with outstanding talent and master-servant relationship with the master's mother, naturally has more people who covet it. It's just that since Wei Changying returned to the imperial capital, he has either been busy with this or that, and his three relatives and relatives and his own flesh and blood can't take care of it, and he has no time to pay attention to the lifelong events of the 'woman' for a while.

And the He family has targeted Zhu Yi for him since Zhu Lei came back, but Zhu Lei is not a servant of the Shen family or the Wei family, and Jiang Zheng does not plan to let him become a slave, if Zhu Yi wants to marry him, he will definitely leave the country. At this point, the family may not be willing to give birth to children - after all, although the life and death of a slave and a maid are '' with the hands of others, but a family like Zhu Yi, who has a lot of power among the children, has a more nourishing life than the small clan outside, and even the children of the master family are not just anyone who can be contemptuous.

Moreover, in the current situation, the people of Li are difficult to protect, and it is safer to follow the Shen family.

What's more, Zhu Lei himself is neither handsome nor literate except for his armed forces, so I am afraid that it will be difficult for Zhu Yi to like them. Therefore, although He is Wei Changying's 'breast' mother, he is not easy to speak without a reason. Now that Zhu Lei happened to save Shen Shuguang, He Shi euphemistically mentioned it.

But Wei Changying didn't think of which of the ambassador's 'daughters' would be allowed to Zhu Lei, and Zhu Lei himself was anxious: "The sisters in front of the young lady are all excellent, I'm afraid they won't be worthy of it." ”

Hearing the rejection in his words, Wei Changying was a little curious, but He glared at him fiercely and reprimanded: "You said that the favorite 'girl' you met before was unwilling to be with you, and now that the two places are separated and the current situation is 'chaotic', it is a question whether you can see each other again in this life, do you want to worry about her not marrying for the rest of your life?!" ”

…… co-authored Zhu Lei went out to meet a tempting 'girl' before, but fate was not enough, so he kept thinking about it, so he has not married yet.

Zhu Lei was scolded by the He family so much that he shrank his head and kept silent, but his expression obviously still didn't want to marry the ambassador 'girl' in front of Wei Changying. Seeing that this situation was not reluctant, Wei Changying said: "Then slow down this matter for a while, Zhu Lei, do you have anything else you want to do?" ”

"Back to the young lady's words, now follow the master and the master, it is too peaceful, and there is nothing to want." Zhu Lei said quickly.

It can be seen that he really thinks so - Wei Changying's evaluation of him can't help but be higher: although she made up her mind this time, even if Zhu Lei opened her mouth, she would not refuse, but no matter what, a person who is not greedy is always more respected and appreciated.

Wei Changying thought for a moment and said: "You can take this pearl back, as Aunt He said, even if you don't care about men and women now, you will always have a family in the future." What's more, for me, a pearl is nothing, just a gesture of heart. ”

Zhu Lei looked at He's family, He thought about it, and said: "Since this is the case, the servant will take it for him and give it to him when he gets married." ”

"Zhu Lei, since you don't want anything now, and I don't think you have any errands on Jiang Bo's side." Wei Changying took a sip of tea and said, "Then I can send you something?" ”

He was overjoyed when he heard this-Zhu Lei was young, and he was still cautious: "I must do my best in the future." ”

As a result, Wei Changying smiled at him and said kindly: "My son Shuguang is five years old, and he enlightened 'Meng' in literature last year. If I start practicing martial arts now, I'm the same age as when I was younger. I wonder if you would like to take him as an apprentice and teach him the skills of hand-to-hand combat? ”

"......" Zhu Lei stayed for a long time before confirming that he had heard correctly: Wei Changying said that he was taking Shen Shuguang as an apprentice, not teaching Shen Shuguang martial arts. You know, these two are worlds apart! The former has the formal status of master and apprentice, even if the status of a disciple is noble, and the master comes from a humble background, but the disciple always has to treat the master with courtesy.

The latter is the same as Jiang Zheng's teaching and health chief back then, just teaching. Although it is said that because of Wei Changying, Jiang Zheng also has a considerable status among the subordinates - but only among the subordinates, in the eyes of the scholars, Jiang Zheng is just a somewhat decent slave.

When King Heng Shenxun was still the prince, he beat Jiang Zheng on the street to get angry, because Jiang Zheng was just Wei Changying's teaching, and Wei Changying even had to enter the palace to ask the queen for his guilt afterwards. But if Jiang Zheng is Wei Changying's official apprentice's master, then Wei Changying will cry out for his master when he enters the palace.

Of course, there is a difference between being a master and doing teaching, the latter only teaches part of the martial arts, and the former generally takes out at least a few 'doors' to teach the stunts at the bottom of the box, so as to live up to the name of master and apprentice.

But what kind of family is the Shen family? The martial arts of the children of the Shen family have always been taught by the elders of the clan, and they have never been pretended to be outsiders. The noble clan that has been on the border for hundreds of years has its own means of galloping on the battlefield.

Even if Zhu Lei's vein is good at hand-to-hand combat, with the Shen family's 'door' lintel, since he can train 'private' soldiers and secret guards, how can there be no such teaching?

Didn't Wei Changying just have such a naΓ―ve idea before, thinking that she would practice hard with Jiang Zheng, and after passing the 'door', she would definitely be able to beat her husband into obedience, and then ...... Ahem, let's not talk about this.

In short, after He came back to his senses, he immediately resolutely excused Zhu Lei: "How can this be done?" ”

"Zhu Lei is Jiang Bo's mantle disciple, and I am very relieved of my martial arts." Wei Changying said, "Otherwise, in the past two years, how would he return safely from Youyan in such a 'chaotic' world?" ”

"I came from a humble background, and I definitely didn't dare to let my second grandson apprentice." Zhu Lei has been training for several years, don't you know that although what is in front of him at this moment is a big opportunity, but a bad one will also become the source of trouble? The martial arts of the children of the Shen family are all passed down from father to son, not to mention that Shen Shuguang's father is the next lord of the internal design, how is his teacher the same?

At the beginning, Jiang Zheng was just a teacher of Wei Changying, and he had countless grudges, and he was scolded by the He family for more than ten years. Wei Changying is just Miss Wei!

Zhu Lei heard and witnessed what happened to his master in Ruiyu Hall, but he didn't want to wade into this kind of 'mixed' water, so he tried his best to excuse himself at the moment, "Besides, martial arts are actually commonplace, although the teacher teaches more, he is stupid and tight, and he doesn't dare to delay the second grandson." ”

After pushing back and forth for a long time, the Huang family came over to round the field and asked Zhu Lei to teach Shen Shuguang first, as for whether he wanted to formally apprentice, then wait for Shen Zangfeng to come back. After all, Shen Shuguang's surname is Shen, and it is better to ask his father's opinion for such a thing.

Wei Changying sent away the He family and Zhu Lei here, and the results of Shen Yongheng's disposal were also passed on in the upper room - Mrs. Su directly pushed the matter to Shen Xuan, and Shen Xuan was furious when she heard the news, and even her daughter-in-law slapped her young son in public, and she hated and scolded: "You deserve it!" ”

Because Shen Yongheng had already lived alone in separate hospitals, he rarely went to his mother-in-law and biological mother, so Mrs. Su didn't say anything, and even the Miao family was just reprimanded and rushed back to her yard. Shen Xuanqiang summoned Xixi, who was teaching Shen Yongheng, to ask according to his anger, and knew that this young son was lazy and had not gone to class for several days, and he had not skipped class like this once or twice in the past.

It's not that Xixi hasn't complained, but during this time, Shen Xuan was busy with court affairs, and every time he returned to the mansion, he ordered not to disturb trivial matters. Shen Yongheng bribed the servant of Tongchuan with silver money, so that the servant sent Xixi away every time on the grounds that "the lord has something important", and over time, Xixi did not complain.

Knowing these news, Shen Xuan was half angry, and personally beat Shen Yongheng to the point that his skin was 'meaty', punished him for being grounded for half a year, and after half a year, he had to check his homework, if he didn't learn well, he would still be good-looking at that time. Then he expelled the 'squire' guard and Shen Yongheng's scholar who he bribed to block Xixi's complaint, and even the 'squire' guard commander who was in charge of the mastiff was also given ten rods as a lesson for his negligence in his duties - this is a punishment.

The next thing is to appease the third room, Shen Xuan gave an old ginseng plant to his grandson in his own name, and asked Mrs. Su to reward her daughter-in-law with some jewelry and clothing. For Zhu Lei, who saved Shen Shuguang, Shen Xuan will certainly not forget. Because Zhu Lei was young, although he was not a servant of the Shen family, he was only a disciple of the person who married his daughter-in-law, so Shen Xuan did not see him, but sent a housekeeper to encourage him and gave him a lot of thanks.

Two days later, Shen Xuan 'gets' Zhu Lei another martial arts rank - deputy lieutenant of Yilu from the seventh rank.

Don't look at it as just the lowest official rank, when he heard the news, Jiang Zheng was 'excited' and cried with joy - it was even more 'exciting' than receiving a pearl from Wei Changying, which Jiang Zheng did not accept.

Wei Changying couldn't help but be surprised after knowing it, but Huang said: "Young lady, you are of noble birth, and the ministers of the past generations have not been decisive, and the senior officials of the court and the central government should be polite when they see you. But Jiang's 'guard' came from a humble background, and it was difficult to 'get' an official body, but now that Zhu Lei has an official body, even if it is the lowest, how can he not be 'excited'? ”

"I see." Wei Changying really didn't take a seventh-rank loose official seriously, although it was said that when Shen Zangfeng married her before, he was only a seventh-rank official, but that was the imperial guard, how could it be compared to the deputy lieutenant of Yilu who was as many as Niu 'Mao'? What's more, for people like them, it doesn't matter what they are at first, they don't fight for anything, and they have their elders trying to lift them up after a few years.

She couldn't help laughing, "In the end, my father-in-law has a sharp eye, and I thanked him for a long time, but I didn't thank him at all." ”
