Chapter XXII
In order to facilitate the care of Wen Ju, Xu specially took her to his own yard, Wen Zhu came to the main house of Wen Mansion for the first time, two into five across the courtyard, covering a wide area, the courtyard pine and cypress green, layer upon layer of green, there is a rockery corridor, winding paths are secluded, thick and agile.
Under the guidance of a mother-in-law, Wen Zhu entered the left wing, Xu was feeding Wen Ju medicine, Wen Xiaomei stood aside, seeing her come in, Xu smiled softly, and said: "Ju'er just finished drinking the medicine, you sisters and get together, I still have something to discuss with the master." ”
Wen Zhu was stunned for a moment, and blurted out the words in his heart: "Don't you blame me?" Mrs. Xu looked back at Wen Ju, who was still pale, and said softly: "The Wen family only has you daughters, if your sisters can't rely on it, who else can you rely on?" ”
Patted Wen Zhu's hand considerately, Mrs. Xu quietly walked out of the house with a group of maids and daughters-in-law, leaving the space to the three sisters, Wen Zhu was silent, and looked deeply at Mrs. Xu's back.
Standing up straight, Wen Zhu pulled Wen Xiaomei to sit on the edge of Wen Ju's couch together, Wen Ju, who had recovered a little spirit, remembered her gaffe yesterday, and was a little embarrassed, and said first: "I helped you this time, but it doesn't mean that I recognize you as a sister." ”
Wen Zhu smiled, "Then I'll call you sister." He stuck out his tongue mischievously and stretched out his hand to Wen Ju, who was stunned, "What about the meeting gift that my sister gave me?" ”
Wen Ju looked at her as a scoundrel, and said angrily: "Look at you, how can you still look like a young lady, you were the same yesterday, and you painted your face like that ghost." ”
Wen Zhu lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "What my sister taught me is that my little sister has written it down." ”
Xiaomei on the side finally couldn't help laughing, and burst out laughing, Wen Ju looked at a serious Wenzhu, and then looked at Wen Xiaomei, who was laughing, and couldn't help laughing after beating Wenzhu a few times, and the three of them laughed together.
After making trouble for a while, Wen Zhu saw Wen Ju coughing lightly, so he picked up Wen Xiaomei, who had also not slept all night, forced her to rest with her, and made an appointment to visit Wen Ju again in the afternoon.
On the way, Wen Zhu remembered that he had never seen his two sisters, so he asked, "What about the sisters?" ”
Wen Xiaomei said with a smile: "Seeing that the fourth sister is fine, she was picked up by her brother-in-law early in the morning. ”
Wen Zhu answered softly, as if unintentionally, "Is there a history book at home?" But thinking about what the girl in yellow said, everyone in the previous dynasty, Li Shangyin, was suspicious of the era in which he lived.
I didn't care before, I didn't ask, I didn't want to, I felt that it was a strange dynasty, what was the use of knowing it? I always have a trace of nostalgia for the country, but now it is different, and there is a faint expectation in my heart, hoping that I am still the descendant of Yan Huang and the descendant of the dragon.
Xiaomei did not doubt him, and said with a smile: "Grandpa is a contemporary Confucian, I'm afraid that the royal collection of books is not as much as ours, and it is usually stored in the back of the library, if my sister wants to read anything, just give an order, and use it yourself, grandpa can't help but read when he is alive, and my father doesn't care." ”
Taizong divided the heroes, so after that, the prince ascended the throne, it was Gaozong, and his younger brother Chen Wanganti, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, the two dynasties stood side by side. Gaozong was furious, leaving hidden dangers, died ten years later, leaving a son, Zhongzong ascended the throne, because of his young age, he was assisted by Gaozong's mother Empress Dowager Xiaoren, and his biological mother Xu Guifei was given the title of Empress Dowager Rongde.
Six years later, Zhongzong took charge of the government and appointed the Empress Dowager as the queen mother's daughter.
Now, it is the seventh year of Zhongzong.
Wen Zhu slowly closed the book in his hand, took a long breath, never expected to travel to the fork in the road of time, since before the Tang Dynasty, the history is exactly the same as the ancient China in the past, exactly the same.
After the Tang Dynasty, history took a turning point, and the founding emperor was also called Zhao Kuangyin, but the country was named Ning. divided the world into fifteen paths, but did not expect that the bones were not cold and died, and the two sons each occupied half of the country.
The customs of this dynasty are similar to those of the Song Dynasty, but they are not as rigorous as the Song Dynasty, and there are still five points of the Tang Dynasty's legacy, because the dynasty soon encountered the brothers' rebellion, and the territory was divided into two, resulting in the people of the dynasty are not warlike, so that although the two countries are in a situation of fire and water, they are both rich and strong, but they make the nomads outside the Saiwai dare not insult.
After King Chen of Northern Chu was called the emperor, he called himself Mingzong, worked hard, and was a Ming monarch; When Daning Xiaoren was in charge of the government, he trembled, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, and the south was already rich, but it also presented a prosperous scene of national peace and security. Now that the new emperor of Daning has not been in power for a long time, there is nothing surprising.
The strength of the two countries in Daning, North and Chu is between the two countries, and if the dispute is lightly started, it will end up with a lose-lose situation. Wen Zhu judged that it would be difficult to have a war in a few years, so it seems that the Wen family is rooted in Daning, and they only need to maintain a good life and ask for the glory of the sisters.
"Miss, it's time to go to the study."
Jinbao interrupted Wenzhu's thoughts, Wenzhu put down the scroll in his hand, and let the two maids take care of themselves.
More than a month has passed since Qixi Festival, and the Wen sisters have resumed their life of attending classes in the study, and only one more activity has been added after class - visiting Wen Ju who is recuperating.
The article seems to be busy with something recently, and only asks the daughters to calculate the account books every day, and does not teach.
Wen Zhu frowned and looked at the account book in his hand, the string of one, two, three wanton was so obstructive that it was dizzy to see, Bei Yan bit the pen, and resolutely wrote down a string of Arabic numerals on the side of the cumbersome Chinese characters, and the accounts were much simpler and clearer.
Wenzhu's efficiency has improved a lot, and he finished reading his account book in half a day. I picked up a piece of paper, and before I could react, I folded it into a thousand paper cranes, and I was stunned, I was young and impulsive in my previous life, and I did all the romantic things in the world, and I stacked paper cranes and stars every day.
A mocking smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and at this moment, several younger sisters surrounded him, and the twins opened their eyes wide and asked, "Third sister, what is this?" ”
Wen Zhu smiled even more and said, "This is a thousand paper cranes, which can pray for relatives, let's fold it and give it to the fourth sister, okay?" ”
All the sisters agreed together, and they spent an afternoon in origami. Later, Wen Zhu only let a few sisters origami cranes, asked Xiaomei to find needles and threads, and personally strung the paper cranes into a string, and finally counted, a total of 365, just the number of a year, after it was done, Wen Zhu asked his sisters to write blessings on the paper cranes.
When it was time for the end of class, Wen Zhu held Wen Xiaoju by the hand, the twins held paper cranes in their arms, jumping and walking in front, Xiaomei followed closely behind, and kept shouting: "Slow down, slow down!" ”
The twins only ran more happily, laughing, and suddenly oops, and finally turned around to tease Xiaomei and collided head-on.
Wen Zhu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly took two steps, but saw that the twins had already gotten up on their own, and circled around a man dressed in royal blue satin, the man had a round face, a round nose, and smiling eyes narrowed into slits.
