Chapter Ninety-Seven: Girlhood

King Qinghe's wedding was scheduled for March 29 of the 14th year of Jiayu, so from the 15th day of August of the 13th year of Jiashu to the wedding on March 29 of the next year, this half year was Wei Yangyang's last girl's time.

In the half year that she was locked up in Guiyuan to learn the rules, her life was not boring. Now, she can participate in many activities of the royal family, nobles and Wei family, and she can go out every three or five days. Although Shen Mingyuan couldn't come to see her often, every ten days, he would send someone to send a strange kite for her to relieve her boredom. The one who has come to Guiyuan the most times is her good sister Song Wenru.

The most frequently discussed topic between Wei Yangyang and Wen Ru is Shen Minghuang. No, Wei Yangyang sighed again: "King Fengquan doesn't know how many girls he promised. But he definitely didn't expect that the person he was going to marry now was not only not what he liked, but also the princess of the enemy country. It's really a trick. Song Wenru repeated her words meaningfully: "Yes, creation makes people." ”

The world believes that gossip and divination are all men's business, and women come to calculate, and the yin qi is too heavy, and it is definitely not allowed. Therefore, no one knows about Song Wenru secretly learning the genealogy. She never told Wei Yangyang, it was she who calculated the eight characters of King Qinghe and her before she went to King Qinghe to save her.

Wei Yangyang was worried about Wen Ru's marriage, and began to mess around: "Wen Ru, there will be good men in the future. Why don't you marry my starling? My starling is nicknamed the Three Deadly Swords, but he is the most beautiful man in our Haixi City. ”

Song Wenru said with a smile: "Langyang, it's not that I worship high and low. But my brother is a second-rank official, and Brother Ling is only a fourth-rank official. If I marry him, then all the girls in my Song family can only marry in the future, and they can't marry high, which is equivalent to me harming their future. I don't just represent me, each of our noble daughters represents a family. ”

She knew that after Wei Yangyang became the princess, the crown princess, and the queen, her father and brother would be rewarded, which was naturally different from now. But whether he can be the queen also depends on whether the river king can be made the crown prince and become the future emperor. Although Shen Minghuang married a princess of different races, he was so ruthless that he had already thought that he would not let the princess give birth to a concubine. Compared with King Qinghe, he doesn't have much disadvantage, as long as he does things well, he may not be able to turn the tide of the battle.

And how the emperor will choose now, no one can guess. Of course, she can't ruin the future of all the women in her family. What's more, her brother supports Shen Minghuang, and the family will definitely not agree to her marrying Princess Qinghe's brother.

Wei Yangyang sighed: "I know you're not that kind of person, but it's a little pity for you." Song Wenru had already relieved: "There's nothing to be sorry for, I have to thank you for waking me up that day." Otherwise, I will be taken advantage of, and then I will be kicked out again, and it will be miserable. ”

Wei Yangyang asked her: "That Wenru, if you don't get married, will the family agree?" Song Wenru smiled bitterly and said: "When I reach my age, the emperor may propose marriage for me; Or maybe I'll meet someone I like, who knows. Wei Yangyang thought for a while: "Then you can find something to do now, and you can kill time and relieve your mood." ”

Song Wenru joked with her: "What can I do?" Come and learn kung fu from you? Wei Yangyang thought of an idea seriously: "Of course not, you read so well, you can be a female master and teach others to learn." The calligraphy you gave me also wrote down the main points of each stroke in detail, which is very easy to understand, and it is better than the male master's teaching. ”

Song Wenru pointed at himself: "Me? If I go to be a Master, who will invite me? No one will find the silver upside down. Wei Yangyang pointed her out: "Didn't I live in Baiyun Temple a while ago?" The Huang Yu Daoist was very kind and adopted many abandoned girls, or homeless women who were kicked out by their in-laws. Many kind-hearted ladies and young ladies have donated rice and money to them, and you can teach them to read and write. There is the Kun Taoist Temple, and most of the people who go to worship the temple are women, and few men go, so your family should agree, right? ”

Song Wenru nodded: "It's a good idea, I'm idle anyway, I can go every three days, and I can help my mother go to soup porridge by the way." This is to do a good deed, and she will definitely let me go. Although Song Wenru spoke slowly, she also had an idea, and she said she would do it. By the time Wei Yangyang went to Baiyun to watch her a few days later, she had already gone to teach twice.

Wei Yangyang walked into the small academy she ran and saw the words "Yi'an Study" written on the door. The words on the plaque are written by Song Wenru herself, and they are exactly the same as the handwriting she gave to herself, such as "Yuan Jingtang" and "Shu Bao Zhai". Wei Yangyang once heard her mention that Li Qingzhao, a Yi'an layman, is a well-known talented woman and Wenru's favorite lyricist.

Wei Yangyang entered the study and saw Song Wenru teaching more than a dozen little girls to read the "Three Character Classic". She also sat at the back and studied along. Suddenly, a woman walked in and picked up a little girl of seven or eight years old: "What are you doing here, hurry home and help light the fire." ”

Although the girl was young, she was also a little stubborn: "I, I want to study, my brother goes to the school to study, I also want to read." The woman took her little hand: "Your brother is studying, and he will be able to test his fame in the future, no matter how good you read, what's the use?" ”

Wei Yangyang has been running around since he was a child, and he has no opportunity to learn to read and write. Now no matter how hard she tries, she is still a big step away from Wenru, and she has always regretted it. Now when she heard the woman say this, she immediately persuaded her: "Why is it useless, I have seen people sell their sons and daughters, they don't know a word, and they have been deceived by people's teeth." said that the value was ten buckets of rice to buy the man's daughter, but it was clearly written on the deed of sale that it was a black-faced nest, and when he pressed his handprint, it was too late to regret it. Even if there is one person in his family who only knows the words "one" and "ten", it will not be so miserable for people to be deceived. ”

Song Wenru also stood up and said to the woman: "This sister-in-law, if Ling Lang will gain fame in the future, be promoted and make a fortune, and the family has more money, she must buy a field and a house, right?" If you are literate, you can avoid being fooled when buying and selling, right? Ling Ai only comes to study for an hour every three days, so you always have time, right? ”

When she saw the woman's hesitation, she said, "I don't charge money for teaching, and when she comes to the lecture, she can still eat a meal at my place, and she will save your family's food." Compared to the delayed hours, you don't lose much, do you? ”

She looked at Wei Yangyang, and continued to persuade the woman: "Sister-in-law, the daughter of the general guard of Haixi Mansion, is about to do the matter of Princess Qinghe, have you heard?" My father is an official, but I heard my father mention that this Miss Wei can be both literate and martial, wise and brave, and this can enter the eyes of the emperor, the queen, and the king of Qinghe. The so-called art is not pressing, if the Wei family does not do their best to cultivate their daughter and teach her so well, where will his family have the opportunity to form a family with the emperor? ”

She praised Miss Wei so much that even Miss Wei herself, who was sitting there, felt outrageous when she heard it. Before she could finish speaking, Wei Yangyang couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

The emperor pointed to marriage, and the Wei family is now the hottest upstart in the entire Dayang Kingdom. The seven wolves and eight tigers of the garrison have made great achievements, and the Moon Rabbit Fairy Toad Palace has won the laurels, of course the woman has heard of it. She thought about it, and she didn't have much time to delay when she came for an hour every three days. Moreover, the academy where my son studies has to charge tuition, which is not charged here, and he still manages the meal, so naturally there is no loss. Only then did she make up her mind and agree that her daughter could come to study in the future.

After finishing school, Wei Yangyang looked at Wen Ru: "You look very good now." Song Wenru stroked the book in his hand: "What I am doing now is what I like." And the environment here is quiet, the scenery is good, I am in a good mood, and the natural complexion is good. ”

In addition to going to Wenru's Yi'an study every three days to study with her, Wei Yangyang also participated in the royal family's Xishan hot spring activity this winter. In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, for the first time in her life, she was allowed to observe the New Year with her family, so she ran to the Wei Mansion to welcome the New Year with her third brother and sister-in-law and eleven nephews.

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor issued an order to seal Wei Yangyang's father Wei Shuping as Pingyuan Uncle, and his mother Guo Shi as the third grade of the Lady of the Order, and gave the Earl's Mansion in Huadu, and ordered the couple to move to Huadu to live. And Wei Yangyang's starling Wei Bingyue was promoted to the head of the red main flag and the chief soldier of Haixi, and became the eighth generation head of the Wei family at the age of 26.

Although Wei Shuping was the first of the Wei family's previous commanders to be knighted when he was alive, it was equivalent to handing over military power and being forced to surrender his military power. Let him live in Huadu, obviously the emperor used him to contain the Wei family. But in any case, the emperor's grace is vast, and the fathers and brothers used their military exploits to fight for Wei Yangyang to get the opportunity to canonize the princess, and Wei Yangyang also brought titles and glory to the Wei family. The emperor's in-laws and the queen's daughter-in-law are naturally graces that others envy and can't envy.

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, and Shen Mingyuan is the only day on which he can ask Wei Yangyang to go out to play together. When he walked into Yuan Jingtang, Wei Yangyang and the others all knelt down and saluted him. He looked carefully at his fiancΓ©e, who he hadn't seen for a long time: "Well, it looks like this rule is well learned, get up." ”

But Wei Yang didn't get up, but just raised his right hand. He knew that the other party was naughty again, so he reached out and pulled her up. The two of them ate the Lantern Festival in Guiyuan, held hands, and happily went to the street to enjoy the lanterns.

Hearing that Shen Mingyuan said that the emperor ordered Wei Shuping and his wife to move to Huadu, Wei Yangyang was very happy. She asked the other party with a smile: "Your Highness, is the Lantern Festival with bean paste filling just now delicious?" Shen Mingyuan didn't know why: "It's delicious, what's the ingenuity in it?" Wei Yangyang laughed for a long time: "That bean paste is made from red beans grown in my yard, hehe." Shen Mingyuan looked at her and pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Oh, no wonder that Lantern Festival is so sweet." ”

He saw Wei Yangyang smiling from ear to ear, and said, "After a while, you have to be happy." This year is the Year of the Snake, and the Ministry of Industry has made a snake lantern, which is as tall as a three-story building, let's go and see it. When Wei Yangyang heard that there was a lively scene to see, he naturally smiled. Shen Mingyuan had already booked a place at Chenglong Restaurant, so they could eat and watch at the same time, and they didn't have to squeeze with others.

Originally, the spirit snake lantern was extinguished, but at the end of the day, the craftsmen lit the candles at the bottom layer, and the candles slowly burned off the lead, and the whole spirit snake, starting from the tail, lit up layer by layer. When its head lit up, people saw that the letter in the snake's mouth was two meters long. The whole snake is vivid and realistic. Then, fireworks ignited in the sky, iron flowers splashed on the ground, and the entire Huadu City was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
