Chapter 6: Brothers

Wei Ji had already thought about it that night in the study, and nodded without hesitation: "Uncle, I want to give it a try." ”

Wei Shen nodded, with an expression of appreciation. Most of the scholars who participated in the Yaji Dingpin were after the age of sixteen, and the sixteenth of Jin Lu was an adult, not a child, and it was the age when he began to think about starting a family. In fact, in order to set a high grade, the scholars will learn to succeed in their children, accumulate a certain amount of fame, and then participate in the Yaji, most of them after the age of eighteen.

Of course, there are also some teenagers who show amazing talents, and they can also participate in the Yaji Exceptional Production.

Wei Shen knew that Wei Cong's talent was not bad, and he could be regarded as middle and upper among scholars, but it was definitely hopeless to say that he was out of the ordinary.

He looked at the sensible and well-behaved young man in front of him, and said in a gentle tone: "Wang Xie's children also participate in Yaji at your age, not because these families are short-sighted and focus on fame and fortune, but in fact, Yaji is an excellent place to exercise. ”

There is a big gap between the cold families of the Shi clan, and Wei Shen is also disdainful when he mentions the cold door.

Wei Ji listened, thinking differently in her heart, but in the face of Wei Shen's caring teachings, she just smiled and nodded.

Seeing that she was being taught, Wei Shen nodded, and took the school exam again.

Wei Ji has been studying the Analects these days, and she is also studying Wang Bi's "Analects of the Analects" and He Yan's "Collected Explanations of the Analects", which are the main schools of the current school of study of the Analects. Wei Shen asked three questions, she answered two, but the last one was a period of Ai Ai, and she couldn't answer.

Wei Shen said: "I know that my sister's affairs make you sad, but you must not slack off in your studies." ”

"Uncle's words, Cong remembered."

Wei Shen was still satisfied with her, and said, "Go to the backyard to meet your aunt, she has been worried about you these days." ”

Wei Ji left the study, and walked straight towards the backyard without the servants leading the way.

A stone the size of a fingernail bounced under the porch and rolled past Wei Ji's feet, and she didn't squint, pretending not to see it. Soon another boulder flew in and bounced directly on her shoe. Out of the corner of her eye, Wei Ji noticed the robe hidden behind the rockery, but still didn't find anything. The man behind the stone moved again, and the chubby fingers were about to throw the stone.

Wei Ji rushed over in two or three steps, grabbed the hand and pulled him out.

It was a teenage boy with drooping hair, with a small bun on his head, and a loose back, with fair skin and square facial features, just because there was a lot of flesh on his body and face, he looked round and very pleasing.

This is Wei Shen's third son, named Wei Sheng. He was born to Wei Shen's concubine, and there is a big difference in age between him and the two brothers born to his wife. Soon after he was born, the concubine died of illness, and Wei Sheng was raised under the knee of his wife, and his personality was very eccentric.

Wei Sheng twisted desperately after being caught. He was three years younger than Wei Ji, not tall, but he weighed a lot heavier, Wei Ji couldn't hold him down, and let go of his hand first. Wei Sheng was twisting happily, and he suddenly sent it without guard, and fell to the ground with a bang, and he didn't move when he landed.

He looked up, "You, why don't you hold on to me"

Wei Ji smiled, "What are you doing with a stone thrown at me?"

Wei Sheng's body was strong, he got up on his own, patted his clothes and said, "I have something to say to you." ”

Seeing his serious appearance, Wei Ji laughed in her heart and said, "What's the matter." ”

Wei Sheng stretched out his hand to grab her and walked behind the rockery.

Wei Ji was also curious, although this clan brother was very naughty, but his heart was not bad, she followed him to the cave behind the rockery.

Wei Sheng squatted down, his body was round like a ball, he shaved in the grass, took out a silk cloth bag, and stretched out his hand in front of Wei Sheng, "Oh, this is for you." ”

Wei Ji opened the bag and saw that there was a string of five baht coins, a few broken gold, and a jade gourd pendant and a silver lock.

"It's not your thing, what to do for me" Wei Ji was confused. This silver lock is worn by young children, some years, the jade gourd is Wei Shen's wife Le gave him a personal thing, the jade is smooth, in Wei Shen's eyes, it is really the best grade.

Wei Sheng gave her all his private belongings.

Wei Sheng said: "Just take it for you, what so much nonsense." ”

Wei Ji tightened the bag and reached out to grab his ear, "Speak well." ”

"Oops!" Wei Sheng immediately exclaimed, "How are you the same as Sister Ji'er." ”

Wei Ji was alert when she heard this, and immediately let go, but she didn't let him go, grabbing his shoulder, "Tell me clearly, what kind of idea did you suddenly give me this money, if you don't say anything, I'll call my uncle." ”

Wei Sheng was very bold, and he was not even afraid of his wife Le's, but when he heard his father, he was immediately honest.

"Okay, okay, I said," Wei Sheng said, "this money is for you, make a good coffin for Sister Ji'er, and if there is any leftover, add some jewelry to her." ”

Wei Jiao's heart was sour, and she threw the cloth bag back to him, "These are self-cooked, how can you use your child's belongings." ”

Wei Sheng stretched out his hand and stuffed it into her again, "You just take it, otherwise I will be uneasy." ”

Wei Ji said: "Put it away, Uncle Niang must know that you will be sad if you give away the jade gourd she gave you." ”

Wei Sheng pursed his lips, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Wei Ji felt strange, "What the hell is going on, you can make it clear." ”

Wei Sheng pursed his lips and said unhappily: "You and Sister Ji'er's Sunrise County are not here to see Xie Langjun?"

Wei Ji nodded.

Seeing this, Wei Sheng's whole face drooped, and he wanted to cry, "I knew that it was me who caused the trouble, and I told my sister Xie Xuan that she was going to a neighboring county, which made her suffer this misfortune." ”

Wei Ji was stunned, she was a human being, and when she came back again, she had already fallen into the water, for her, more than ten years had passed during this period, and the details before falling into the water had long been forgotten. It turned out to be the news revealed by Wei Sheng.

She stroked his head, "What are you crying about, falling into the water has nothing to do with you." ”

Wei Sheng's eyes were red and he tilted his head to the side.

Wei Ji suddenly remembered a past, it was her seventh year in the Xie family, her mother died, she was seriously ill, and when she woke up, she received a burden from Wei's family, which contained her mother's relics, as well as a letter and a bag of broken gold. The letter was left by Wei Sheng, when he was set by Zhongzheng to be eight grades, and he specially went to the meeting to see her. At that time, she was still sick, and later learned that Xie treated him contemptally, and he waited for a few days without seeing her, so he had to leave his things and leave.

Wei Ji's heart was sour, her eyes were hot, and she thought that this fat young man Qianli sent her mother's relics and cared about her, a clan sister who married far away.

Later, no matter how lonely and lonely her life was, she would always think of the Wei clan relatives in Jiangxia.

Recalling the old things, Wei Jiao held back her tears and said with a smile: "You'er will definitely know your mind." Falling into the water is because the ox cart went up to the bridge, and my aunt and I have no time to dodge, and the blame should also be the owner of the ox car, if it is not to say that it is your fault, where will the real offender be placed"

When Wei Sheng heard this, his eyebrows immediately twisted, "Whose ox cart?"

Wei Ji shook her head, it had been too long for her to remember those details.

Wei Sheng clenched the cloth bag tightly, "This ox cart knocked you down, and there was no rescue, so it must have run away, alas, it has been many days, and it will be difficult to investigate now." ”

Wei Ji remembered that he didn't find anything after falling into the water in his previous life, and there were many people who came to the king outside the county every day, and it was difficult to distinguish, and he didn't leave any clues. In this life, she didn't ask again after telling Wei Shen. Wei Shen didn't mention this matter today, thinking that he didn't find anything.

Although Wei Sheng is young, he already knows a lot of truths, and he is still indignant at the ox cart that slipped away after hitting people into the water.

Wei Ji took his hand and went to the backyard to meet his wife, Le.

Le's ancestral home is Nanyang, originally a poor family, the ancestors read poetry and books hard, genius Yingbo, and later became a scholar Ling, is a rare Hanmen child in a high position, she is knowledgeable, and has a good family. Wei Ji has always liked this uncle.

When Le saw the two brothers coming in, he first asked, "Did Sheng'er do naughty things again?"

Wei Ji paraphrased what Wei Sheng just said.

Le Shi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and pulled Wei Sheng over, "My son knows the love of brotherhood, and he is happy for his mother." As he spoke, Wei Ji also stepped forward, touched her face and said, "Your mother is sick and can't be a member of the board now, what difficulties do you have to come to your aunt." ”

Wei Ji nodded.

Le's pity for her father's early death, her mother's madness again, and the loss of her twin sisters, may have met with an accident. Le hugged Wei Ji and cried for a while.

Wei Jiao's eyes were red, greedy for the warmth in front of her, but she didn't dare to get too close, for fear of revealing clues, so she had to keep comforting.

Wei Sheng came over, squeezed into Le's arms, and pushed Wei Ji out.

Le's stopped crying, ordered someone to set the meal, and left the guard to eat.

Wei Ji stayed at her uncle's house until it was almost night.

When she returned home, Wei Ji went to the study again, and figured out the questions she hadn't answered before going to sleep after taking the Wei Shen exam today.

Two days later, Wei Ji went to Wei Shen's house again, today Xie An and Xie Xuan came to the door, there were elders visiting the elders first, and Xie's uncle and nephew went to Wei Shen's house first.

When Wei Ji came to the door, she saw two ox carts parked outside the door, with Xie's mark engraved on the wheels. She glanced at her, and suddenly noticed something strange. Wei's house was next to the Huang family, and at this time, there was an ox cart parked outside the wall of the Huang family, and it was not close to the door, as if it was just parked idle.

Looking at the appearance of the ox cart, it is clearly the same as Xie's.

Wei asked the servant, "Whose car belongs to you?"

The servant said, "Xiao Langjun, that's with the Xie family." ”

If it is the Xie family's ox cart, why don't they be together, and they have to walk separately before and after. Wei Ji suppressed this question in her heart and stepped into the door.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 7: On Words

Wei Ji stepped into the main hall. Except for the servant who was with him, there were three people present. On the top sat a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old man, eight feet long, with handsome eyebrows and handsome eyes, dressed in a rushan body, with a relaxed attitude, and a sense of Xiao Xiao Lang Lang Lang Lang

Without Wei Shen's introduction, Wei Ji recognized this as Xie An at a glance. Xie Xuan's uncle is also the most outstanding talent of the Xie family at present. He was only famous when he was young, and before he was twenty years old, he had already been selected by the Zhongzheng government for three products, but he was free and easy by nature, unrestrained, and not subject to court recruitment, he had no official position, he liked to indulge in landscapes, and I heard that he was still a little romantic, and he often walked with the United States, and some were prostitutes.

Sitting below him was Xie Xuan. The uncle and nephew are somewhat similar in appearance, and after Xie Xuan grew older, he was often regarded as the second Xie An of the Xie family, but he was introverted and not as comfortable and free as his uncle.

At this time, Xie Xuan and Wei Ji also had differences in their memories. At this time, he was not as cold and noble as he was in his youth, and his face was much more immature.

Wei Shen introduced the two to Wei Ji.

Since Wei Jiao came, the eyes of the two uncles and nephews of the Xie family fell on her, and they froze at the same time. As a disciple of the Xie family, Xie Xuan has seen a lot of young talents from the Shi clan on weekdays, but the appearance of this Wei family Xiaolangjun in front of him is so good that he couldn't help but turn around in his mind, and he couldn't find a comparable one.

The peach and plum blossoms are scorching and glowing.

Xie Anlang smiled and said: "This is Wei's Xiaolangjun, it can be said that Wei Shubao has been resurrected." ”

Shubao is Wei Jue's word, and everyone knows the name of Wei Jue's beautiful man, which is a compliment to Wei Ji's outstanding appearance.

Wei Shen said: "The ancestor is famous in the world because of his talent for metaphysics, he is still young, and he is far behind." ”

He has an old-fashioned and dignified personality, and he is mainly strict in the education of his children and nephews, and his reaction to outsiders' praise is humility, for fear that the younger generation will be arrogant.

Xie An beckoned: "Xiao Langjun is coming. ”

Wei Ji took a few steps forward.

Xie An asked him what he was reading, and Wei Ji replied slowly and logically, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.

Xie An listened, turned his face sideways and glanced at Xie Xuan, feeling sorry for this nephew. Wei's Xiaolangjun and the girl are twins, with the same appearance, just look at the young Wei Cong in front of him, his face has not been fully opened, he is already so beautiful, if it is a woman, how beautiful and moving.

When Xie Xuan asked Wei An, his eyes flashed several times.

Wei Ji is thirteen years old, she is still a child, and unlike those children from noble families, she does not have that arrogant and willful attitude. When she had finished answering, she stood quietly, her dark eyes slightly lowered.

The Shi clan's pursuit of beauty has penetrated deep into the spinal cord, Xie An looked at Wei Ji for a long time, thinking that such a beautiful boy is really rare. He has always been uninhibited in his words and deeds, and turned sideways to the servant behind him and said, "Go and bring the Han Beihai Chunyu Changxia Jun Monument." ”

The servant soon returned, with a scroll in his hand.

Han Beihai Chun in Changxia Jun Monument, also known as "Xia Cheng Monument".
