Wei Yangyang went to the palace a few more times, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the two of them practiced arrows for a while in the afternoon, and they were already sweating profusely, so they sat under the tree and drank tea to rest. Shen Mingyuan was a little anxious: "How come you have practiced for more than a month, but you still can only hit six or seven times out of ten?" There are always a few misses, when can I be like you, and get in the center again and again? You say, when will you start practicing the two fairies? Wei Yangyang is not very good at comforting people, she looked at Shen Mingyuan with a depressed look, and thought to herself, she must say a few words to coax him: "I will hold a bow when I don't know how to hold chopsticks, and the practice time is longer than His Highness, so it is naturally more accurate." But Your Highness is stronger than me, and every time the arrow hits the target, it is much more important than shooting accurately. Didn't Confucius say that if a gentleman is not heavy, he will not be powerful, and if he does not shoot heavily, he will not be able to establish his prestige in front of the enemy! Shen Mingyuan almost spit out the tea he had just drunk in his mouth: "In the Analects you learned, this is what it means that a gentleman is not serious or powerful?" Wei Yangyang thought to himself, maybe he said the wrong thing again: "Well, isn't that what you mean?" Shen Mingyuan smiled bitterly: "I didn't learn my homework well, but I remember that this sentence should be: If a gentleman is not dignified, then he will not be able to establish prestige, which means that people should pay attention to their appearance, behavior, and behavior." Wei Yang was shocked: "Huh? Is it solemn? I always thought it meant that my fists were going to be heavier when I hit someone, but no one told me. ”

Shen Mingyuan asked again: "Then, what explanation do you have for hearing that Dao died at night?" Wei Yangyang was afraid that he would be embarrassed by what he said wrongly, so he thought twice: "I heard which road their family lives on in the morning, and he can die at night." "Hahaha" Shen Mingyuan put down the teacup and laughed. He doesn't pay as much attention to etiquette as Shen Minghuang, and when he encounters such a funny thing, he laughs and laughs. Wei Yangyang was a little embarrassed: "Again, wrong again?" Shen Mingyuan smiled and shook his hand: "No, no, maybe, the two of us are not reading the same Analects." When he finished laughing, he thought of another sentence: "There are friends from afar, what is the next sentence?" Have you studied this? Wei Yangyang nodded hurriedly: "I know this, and the next sentence is very happy, not even if it is far away." After hearing this, Shen Mingyuan burst into laughter again: "Although it is far away, it must be punished?" Today is the happiest day in my 12th year. ”

Although Wei Yangyang is not good at reading, no one has ever laughed at her so loudly in front of her. So she was a little unhappy: "I haven't studied, in the future, Your Highness won't ask me." When Shen Mingyuan heard her say this, he hurriedly put away his smile: "Hey, I'm angry, I didn't mean to laugh at you, I really haven't heard anyone interpret the Analects like this." Wei Yangyang put down the sour plum soup in his hand: "It's okay, I'm not angry." She said that she was not angry, but she usually liked to laugh the most, and every time before speaking, the corners of her mouth showed a smile before she spoke, but now she did not smile at all, and she was obviously unhappy.

Shen Mingyuan didn't have much experience in coaxing girls, and when he thought of her saying that she hadn't read a book, he had an idea: "Hey, don't be angry, otherwise, you come an hour earlier next time, let's finish practicing, and I'll teach you to read the Analects." Good no good? ”

Wei Yangyang turned his anger into joy: "Can I come to study? In front of the woman, Shen Mingyuan naturally refused to lose face: "Of course, I'm the King of Qinghe, why are I lying to you." Although I don't read well, the master who gave me a lecture in the palace, but the supervisor of Guozijian is a very learned person, and I came back from him to teach you, is it more than enough, right? Wei Yangyang nodded happily.

On the fifth day of the sixth month, she arrived at the Qinghe Mansion an hour earlier than usual. After the two of them practiced archery, they came to Shen Mingyuan's study. Since Wei Yangyang arrived in Huadu, her third sister-in-law found a nurturing lady to teach her the rules. She knew she shouldn't read randomly, but she was still dazzled by the sheer number of books in Shen Mingyuan's study. She couldn't help but secretly look at everything in the study, there were endless books, and the best pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, the emperor's princes were really happy to receive the best education in the world.

Wei Yangyang is now more and more disciplined, and hurriedly salutes first: "Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Mingyuan excused her from the courtesy: "No thanks, no thanks, my father has always said that I am the worst among the princes, but I didn't expect that I can teach people today, and I am very happy." Wei Yangyang remembered one thing: "Your Highness, I heard my third brother say, next month, it's your birthday, isn't it?" How about I give you a gift to thank you for teaching me how to write? Just don't know, what do you like? What Shen Mingyuan likes, Wei Yangyang naturally can't afford it: "What I use on weekdays is tribute, and I can't buy it on the market, so I don't need it." ”

Wei Yangyang was a little lost: "That, then me." She thought about it, but she couldn't think of a gift she could give. Suddenly, she saw the teacup on the table and knew that Shen Mingyuan liked to drink tea: "Otherwise, I will give His Highness half a catty of tea?" You can always buy this, right? But every time I come, His Highness drinks different tea, and I don't know what His Highness likes to drink. Shen Mingyuan saw that she had discovered her hobbies, and couldn't help but mention her: "The princes' hobbies can't be known, otherwise, what if someone takes the opportunity to give gifts and make friends?" Wei Yangyang lowered his head, knowing that he had said the wrong thing again. Shen Mingyuan saw that she was silent, afraid that she would be too careful, so he joked with her: "Besides, this high-grade tea is very expensive." Don't say that you can't buy it on the street, even if you can buy it, it's worth a tael of thousands of gold, how can I let you break the bank? ”

While the two were talking, Shen Mingyuan's attendant came over to spread the word, saying that an official was visiting. Wei Yangyang had to leave first, but when she arrived at the door, she still didn't give up, she didn't want to owe Shen Mingyuan a favor: "I don't know the price of tea, but I now have a fortune and a monthly amount of silver, so I can buy a little less and talk about my heart." She said sincerely, not intentionally, Shen Mingyuan beckoned to her, and she walked back to Shen Mingyuan from the door. Shen Mingyuan whispered to her, "My favorite drink is Gwangju Yunwu." ”

Wei Yangyang is a vigorous and resolute person, on June 30, as soon as she entered the palace, she stuffed a bag of things to Shen Mingyuan: "Send it to Your Highness." Shen Mingyuan was surprised when he smelled the fragrance of tea in the paper bag: "Gwangju clouds? Wei Yangyang nodded. Shen Mingyuan opened the paper bag, picked up a piece of tea leaves, and looked at it carefully: "This is the best." Wei Yangyang was very proud: "Of course." Shen Mingyuan put away his smiling face and interrogated her: "This autumn tea in Gwangju clouds and mist is the best as a tribute. This year, the Gwangju Mansion only sent ten catties, all of which were from my father, how did you get it? Could it be that you went into the palace to steal something? Wei Yangyang's eyes widened and he hurriedly denied: "How dare I, I just haven't learned the rules, and I know that it's a capital crime." ”

Shen Mingyuan checked the weight of the paper bag in his hand: "This is almost two taels." He suddenly thought of something: "Ah, the day before yesterday, my father praised your third brother for handling the case well, so he rewarded him with two taels, which you stole from, right?" Wei Yangyang nodded in affirmation. Shen Mingyuan glared at her: "You dare to steal the tribute?" Wei Yangyang felt a little scared at this time: "Isn't the emperor's reward just for drinking?" We drank it and didn't throw it away, isn't that illegal? Shen Mingyuan looked at her: "This is a reward from my father, how can your third brother give up?" Besides, he's a jade-faced Yama, so I'm sure you'll be able to find out right away, right? Have you been beaten? ”

Wei Yangyang shook his head lightly: "I went to my brother's house for dinner at noon that day, and occasionally heard my third sister-in-law say that my brother was rewarded by the emperor. I snuck into his room and stole the tea. He found out in the afternoon that I did it, but he was reluctant to beat me, so he scolded me severely. He also punished me by kneeling for an hour and forced me to ask about the whereabouts of the tea. ”

Shen Mingyuan felt funny: "Of course, he must recover the stolen goods." There are so many tea leaves, and you can't finish drinking them, how are you going to say to him? Wei Yangyang didn't dare to lie to him, and said honestly: "I'll just say, I've used it all up, and I'll take it to boil tea eggs."

At this time, Shen Mingyuan's mouth opened wider than the tea egg: "What? You said you boiled tea eggs with Gwangju clouds? If you think about it, do you know how much silver these two taels of tea cost? Wei Yangyang rubbed his hands and whispered: "I don't care how much silver it is, I promised Your Highness to give you a gift, I can't break my trust." Shen Mingyuan's stomach hurt with a smile: "This cloud mist is clear tea, and boiled tea eggs have no taste, who will believe you?" Wei Yangyang was still strong: "I don't care, I still bite back, I said to my third brother: This tea is really bad, why do you put so much, the tea eggs still have no taste?" It didn't taste good at all, so in a fit of rage, I threw the boiled leaves away. ”

Shen Mingyuan could already imagine Wei Bingge's expression when he heard her words, and he collapsed in his chair with laughter: "Hahaha, I'm just afraid that your brother's angry beard is going to be crooked, right?" Wei Yangyang became proud again: "Yes, anyway, he can't do anything about me." You can't cut me down. Shen Mingyuan finally finished laughing, and he ordered someone to put away the tea bag: "It's the first time I've received such a strange gift, I have to keep it and drink it slowly." ”

In a flash, it was the beginning of July. Wei Yangyang went to Shen Mingyuan every five and ten. At the beginning of each month, with the consent of the third sister-in-law, you can also take the maid to walk around the street. Although you can only go out once a month, it's already pretty good compared to being in Blue Camp and only going to Bibo City every few months. Moreover, Mrs. Wei knew that the price of Huadu was much higher than that of Haixi, so the monthly silver she gave her was increased from ten taels to fifty taels per month. If she wants to buy something for Guiyuan, she can go to the third sister-in-law to withdraw the silver first. Coupled with her fortune, such a life can be said to be leisurely. Her only worry is that the third sister-in-law will arrange for her to go on blind dates from time to time.
