Chapter 155 ·

Shanniang would not sympathize with her brother, not for anything else, just for Hou Rui to disrupt her whole plan, she hated to beat him up with her own hands.

Because she was busy preparing for the exam last year, on Yuan Changqing's birthday, she only cooked a few small dishes in person and gave him a brief birthday. At that time, she told Yuan Changqing that when he was twenty years old next year, she would definitely have a good time for him. But now that she is pregnant, Yuan Changqing only hates to give her up, how can he be willing to work her to hold a birthday banquet for him. When the husband and wife were arguing over this, Hou Rui ran away from home. And after chasing Hou Rui back, Yuan Changqing's birthday has also passed......

At this time, Yuan Changqing resigned: "Since ancient times, there have only been birthdays in advance, how can there be postponement?" He coaxed Shanniang again, "The days will be long in the future, not to mention that as early as the year of my engagement with you, the teacher will do the coronation ceremony for me, so don't do this birthday banquet." If you really don't want to go, next year, when you give birth to the child, it's the same for me next year. ”

Yuan Changqing felt that it didn't matter if his birthday banquet was held or not, but there was one thing he had to do.

So, the day after Hou Rui came back, it happened to be Xiu Mu, so he packed up and left Shanniang at home, and he went to Yuan's mansion.

Hearing that he was coming, the old lady was surprised, and Yuan Li, the fourth master of Yuan, was also surprised.

It is said that after the old emperor fell ill, although he ordered the four princes to "co-manage" the prince to supervise the country together, the four princes were surprised to find that in less than half a month, the government was all controlled by the prince alone, and he never even had a chance to intervene. The four princes, who were originally proud of the emperor's support, knew that unconsciously, the prince was already deep-rooted, not to mention that the emperor was sick at this time, that is, the emperor was fine, and the queen mother was not good, if the emperor really wanted to replace the prince, I am afraid that he might not be able to shake the big tree in the East Palace. So, the four princes carefully reined in the power on the surface, and only pretended to be a filial son in front of the old emperor, but secretly fought with the prince. And every time he suffered a loss, he ran to the old emperor and cried that the prince had no brotherhood. The old emperor listened to prejudice, but when the prince really didn't have him in his eyes, he had no brothers, and he frequently summoned the prince over and scolded him. The crown prince was afraid of the emperor, and he was not good at treating the four princes, so for a while, the two forces maintained a delicate balance.

That's the case, in the end, the crown prince controlled the government, and many famous Taizi parties have been reused, Yuan Si thought that Yuan Changqing, the well-known Taizi Party, should also be reused, but he is still doing his editing in the Hanlin Academy until now, and his position has not changed at all.

After Yuan Changqing came in, Yili saluted the old lady and Yuan Li, and then sat there silently drinking tea without speaking.

The Yuan family is not Shanniang, and they have never seen him look like his mouth fluttering behind people, but when he is like this, the old lady took the initiative to ask him: "Why do you have time to come to see me today?" He asked again, "Is Thirteen's illness better?" At a young age, how can you get sick at both ends in three days? Don't leave any major symptoms behind......"

Yuan Changqing doesn't like to hear this sentence. He put down the teacup with a "ding" sound, got up and bowed to the old lady, and said, "Thank you for the old lady's concern, Thirteen is fine." I came here today to inform my ancestors of a happy event, and I also invited the old lady and the fourth uncle to open the ancestral hall. "Yuan Changqing is the eldest grandson of the long house, and his firstborn child should have sacrificed to his ancestors.

When he had finished speaking, he quickly straightened up and silently admired the old lady's changing face.

Before the old lady could speak, she suddenly heard a voice behind Yuan Changqing and said, "Sister-in-law is happy?" I really want to congratulate the big brother. ”

Yuan Changqing's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he suddenly turned around, only to see Yuan Changxing standing outside the door with a cane. Although there was a smile in his voice, the face with the light on his back was blurry, and he couldn't see what the expression was.

*·*·*

Now that Hou Rui was beaten by Yuan Changqing, it was not good to let him go back and frighten the fifth wife, so he was temporarily taken in by Shanniang and Yuan Changqing.

When Shanniang sent someone to deliver a letter to the fifth master, the fifth master was really a big heart, and when he heard that Hou Rui couldn't run away, he immediately let go, and he was not busy seeing if this son had broken skin and less meat, so he only brought back a message, and asked Yuan Changqing to "just discipline me and kill him", but he didn't realize at all that Yuan Changqing was a brother-in-law, and he was two months younger than Hou Rui.

To say that Hou Rui, a young man in the second middle school, is a young man who owes a beating. Before, he always looked down on Yuan Changqing more or less, but now he was beaten by Yuan Changqing, which made him suddenly convinced of Yuan Changqing. And the words that Yuan Changqing said also made him calm down, and locked himself in the room and meditated silently for several days.

In fact, Hou Wu's family is not the kind of person who can teach, several children can be regarded as wild and wild, and no one has ever taught Hou Rui how to think and think like Yuan Changqing did to him. All along, he only knew what he was going to do, but he never thought about how to do it. Yuan Changqing's words were like opening a window in front of him, and finally told him to find the way to the place he wanted to go, so when the injury on his face was so good that he could almost see people, he still didn't want to go back to the Fifth Master's Mansion, and only promised Yuan Changqing not to run away from home again, and then disappeared all day long.

At first, Shanniang was still a little worried, but after knowing that Hou Rui obediently took the little girl out every time, and did not want to run away from home, plus Yuan Changqing comforted her, saying that Hou Rui was already twenty years old, how to think and act, he could only explore it by himself, and no one else could replace him. Shanniang thought about the bad results that she had managed too much in her previous life, so she sighed and let go silently.

After another four or five days like this, Hou Rui went home after looking for Yuan Changqing again.

By the middle of April, when the fifth master took Hou Rui to Fushoufang, Hou Rui had already changed into a military uniform—but it turned out that after listening to Yuan Changqing's words, he ran more often to the boat bosses he knew at the docks. He had always asked the captains of the ships about the interesting things about going to sea, but he had never thought about what he needed to learn if he really wanted to go to sea. Now that he inquired closely, he realized that going to sea was not as easy as he imagined, and those ships were far from being as easy to control as he imagined, and what he wanted was an ordinary seaman who could sail and sail on the sea independently, not just an ordinary seaman who only knew how to lift the sails and pull anchors by listening to the captain's orders. Thinking about what he wanted, he asked the ship bosses where they could learn these things. It just so happened that he met Zhu San again, who had taken him and Yuan Changqing on the Feiyan boat before. Zhu San couldn't help but laugh when he heard his ambition: "Aren't you reluctant to seek the near and far?" There is a martial arts hall in the Beijing division, you go to the water division to teach the martial arts hall, and after you come out, you are afraid that there will be no boat for you to sail?! ”

Hou Rui knew that the Jingshi had a martial arts hall, but he didn't know that there were Lu divisions and water divisions in the martial arts hall, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and he discussed it with Yuan Changqing when he went back.

To tell the truth, Yuan Changqing is really not a warm-hearted person, he has always been a dull temperament, the reason why he taught Hou Rui a lesson before was because he caused trouble for Shanniang, if it weren't for this, Hou Rui fell in front of his toes, he probably didn't bother to look at him. At this time, he had already suspected that Hou Rui, the eldest brother-in-law, had stayed in his house all day and disturbed the two-person world between him and Shanniang, so he wished that he would be driven away earlier, so he said with selfishness: "You hurry up and go back and tell the master." I guess the lord doesn't agree with you going to sea, but he is afraid that you will not know the benefits of the sea for a while, and you will regard going to sea as a novelty. Now that you have inquired about everything clearly, and even how to do it, you already have a spectrum in your heart, as long as you tell the master what you think and think thoroughly, the master should know that you are not going to sea for fun, you are serious and want to do this. If you still don't agree, I'll help you beat the side drum again, and it shouldn't be difficult to make it happen. ”

What Hou Rui didn't expect was that after he sincerely told the fifth master his thoughts, he didn't need Yuan Changqing to come forward, and after the fifth master pondered for a day, he agreed to him - but it turned out that Yuan Changqing really guessed right, the fifth master is not the kind of unenlightened parent, in fact, he does not object to Hou Rui having his own ideas and pursuits, what he opposes is just Hou Rui's thoughts.

After that, even the fifth master also helped to inquire about how to apply for the water master martial arts hall.

Seeing this, Yuan Changqing pretended to be a good person, and brought what he knew about the situation of the water master lecture martial arts hall to the fifth master and Hou Rui.

However, it turned out that although the water master lecture martial arts hall was subordinate to the Jingshi lecture martial arts hall, its main hall was not in the capital, but was located in Jingu port. Since Emperor Shizu founded the water division, the Great Zhou Dynasty has attached great importance to the cultivation of water master talents. Every student who is admitted to the Shui Shi Lecture Martial Arts Hall needs to study the basic courses in the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall for one year, and those with excellent grades are eligible to enter the Shui Shi Lecture Martial Arts Hall to continue their studies. And once he entered the parishion, he was no longer a living soldier, but a full-fledged soldier.

Since ancient times, there is a saying in the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty that "a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail", that is, the military status of the Great Zhou Dynasty is higher than that of the previous dynasty, in the eyes of the world, when a soldier eats food, the occupational risk is significantly higher than that of other professions, that is, Hou Rui will graduate from the martial arts hall in the future, at least he is a second lieutenant-level officer, but he can't get rid of the word "soldier".

For the first time in his life, Hou Rui devoted himself to reviewing and preparing for the exam with full enthusiasm. The fifth wife couldn't help but feel sorry for him. If you want to say that Hou Rui is twenty years old this year, and if he enlists in the army again, I am afraid that no one will dare to marry him again......

The fifth master is open-minded, and only said that his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so he happily went to meet his painting friends again.

Shanniang originally thought that after Hou Rui's lesson, the fifth master should also arrest Hou Jue and his brother's education, but she didn't want the fifth master to be stereotyped, and there could be no change - sometimes Shanniang even felt that he was afraid that he would be ruthless by Mrs. Meng since he was a child, so he rebelled and herded sheep and grass for his children......

In short, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and really asked Hou Rui to be admitted to the Shui Shi Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and now he is a member of the martial arts hall.

Therefore, men and women always look at things from different angles, the fifth master didn't take Hou Rui's marriage to heart, although the fifth wife is not Hou Rui's mother, but in the end she watched him grow up, how can she really care about him? !

Fortunately, in this year, Hou Rui was still just a student, and he was still studying in the capital. This year, like the students of other colleges, he would have a day off every Friday, so Mrs. Fifth started a "dense blind date" again.

Hou Rui is still the same as before, his wife asked him to go on a blind date, and when he saw other girls, he did what he wanted, only one more, and he said that he was going to sea in the future...... This one alone scared away countless girls.

It's May, spring is coming to an end, and summer is coming. Looking at Hou Rui, who had fulfilled his wish and seemed to have nothing to ask for, the fifth wife and Shanniang sighed at each other for a while-the second young man over there, where is your spring?
