Xie An has not been out of office for many years, in addition to living in seclusion in Dongshan, he often travels around, either talking about Xuan with the scholars, or talking about Confucianism with the Confucian scholars, Wei Shen's two sons are outside, or they may have seen it.

Xie An shook his head with a smile, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, Wei Jingdao's name is like thunder, and it only came to me a few days ago." ”

Wei Ji heard the two of them talking, and immediately turned her attention away from Xie Xuan. Wei Jingdao, Jingdao is the word, that is Wei Shen's second son, named Wei Zhao.

Wei Shen has rarely interacted with people in the former officialdom since returning to his hometown, and the news can be regarded as closed, he heard Xie An's words, for some reason, he felt a little bad, and his brows furrowed, "Jingdao is my second son, what he did, even Brother An Shi has heard of it." ”

Xie An said: "The remnants of the Li family came out of the southern county of Liangzhou, and they made a rebellion in the local area, and I heard that Wei Jingdao took a few servants to kill the thieves and catch the head of the Li thief. This is a great achievement, and it will soon be rewarded by the imperial court. Wei's Xiaolang Jun is good at calligraphy, Wei Jingdao is both civil and military, and Wei's future is promising. ”

Wei Shen's face changed suddenly.

Wei Ji was also stunned when she heard it.

Wei Shen's three sons, the eldest son Wei Jin and the second son Wei Zhao were all born by Mrs. Le. Wei Jin is elegant and square, like Wei Shen, likes to read, and is proficient in Confucianism and Xuanbixue. But he is a little pedantic, and he does not participate in the Yaji set if he has not achieved his studies. It was actually a mind to read Confucianism thoroughly. But these two disciplines, if you really want to learn well, it is normal to spend a lifetime.

Wei Shen couldn't persuade him, so he could only prepare a restraint for him, and let him visit the metaphysical master Xu Yan as a teacher three years ago.

Wei Zhao is his second son, Le's injured his body when he gave birth to him, and he has nothing to do, and he is especially doting on his second son. Wei Zhao and his eldest brother have diametrically opposite personalities, and they are extremely domineering. When he was young, he showed his wisdom and was pinned on by Wei Shen, who knew that when he was a teenager, he liked to practice martial arts.

Nowadays, Chongwen is light on martial arts, Wei's is a poetry and book heirloom, and his hopes for his children and grandchildren are to learn literature. Deviated from him as an alternative. Wei Shen first persuaded with good words, then tempted by fame and fortune, and finally scolded and taught a lesson. However, Wei Zhao was dedicated to learning martial arts, and there was really no way for his family to teach him. At the same time, of course, the study of literature cannot be delayed.

When Wei Zhao was sixteen years old, Wei Shen sent him to study in Wu County, thinking that he could stop there. Who knew that in less than half a year, the Confucian master wrote a letter, it was a upright, stubborn and stubborn strict teacher, wrote three pieces of stationery, the pen went crazy, bluntly said that he could not teach Wei Zhao, and said that he was very talented, but his mind was not on learning, and he was jealous of the local scholars of Wu County for a prostitute, and fought into the official mansion, and the Confucian master heard the news and took them out.

The letter said that in his 20 years as a teacher, Confucian teachers have never been so embarrassed, and he just wants to retreat to the mountains and forests and ignore the world.

After Wei Shen read the letter, a burst of anger rose from his chest, and he almost didn't catch his breath.

Wei Shen then made a trip to Wu County and brought Wei Zhao back. At this time, he was planning for the marriage of his eldest son Wei Jin, and he asked Le's to find a proper marriage for Wei Zhao, hoping that he would be able to regain his heart and grow after marrying his wife.

Le's knows his mind best, but he soon fell in love with a scholar girl, after a famous family, born with a beautiful face and moon appearance, and can poetry, is the best among the local scholar girls, but who knew that not long after the marriage, the girl gave birth to a sudden illness and died. Soon there were some bad rumors, saying that Wei Zhao was brave and ruthless and had no future, or that he was hard-handed and suspected of harming his wife.

It's not that Wei Zhao can't marry a wife, it's just that either his family background is not satisfactory to Le's, or he himself is unhappy. After Wei Zhao was weak, two maids were accepted in the room, and there was an outer room from Wu Jun outside, which was very romantic. Before the marriage of the nobles, it only takes a little inquiry to know. In this way, the marriage has been delayed for a long time.

Wei Shen saw that he couldn't restrain him with marriage, so he found a Confucian teacher from afar and sent him to study. In the past two years, no Confucian teacher has written to complain, and I thought he had grown a little, but I didn't expect that after listening to Xie An's words, he went to Liangzhou and made such a big move.

Wei Shen has been living all his life, and he only wants his children to follow the literary path, and he never thought that there are still people in the Wei family who can do things to kill thieves, and for a while his eyelids jumped, his face slowly turned red, and a stream of qi and blood rushed up, holding back.

Xie An looked at his face, and guessed his thoughts after a moment's thought, "Such an heir, he should be proud, why is he angry?"

Wei Shen took a deep breath and said: "The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, this rebel is not good at studying, and he has not participated in the Yaji Order, but he ran to lick the blood at the knife edge and put himself in danger." ”

Xie An said: "There is no distinction between civil and military achievements, I think your son is wise and brave, and he is not an ordinary scholar who only knows how to dance and write." ”

Wei Shen shook his head slightly. Seeing him like this, Xie An no longer talked about Liangzhou.

Wei Ji listened to them discuss the clan brother just now, and she concentrated on it without missing half a sentence.

In her previous life, she and Wei Jin, Wei Zhao's two brothers didn't see each other much, she was the age difference between them and them, and there were different men and women, so they couldn't play together when they were young, and when they grew up, the two brothers were often outside, and there were very few opportunities to meet. In her impression, Wei Jin is a humble gentleman, and Wei Zhao is dignified and powerful.

She was thinking about the information about the two brothers in her previous life, when she suddenly heard Xie Xuan call her again: "Yudu." ”

Wei Ji frowned, and looked up to find that Xie An and Wei Shen were all looking at her.

Wei Shen said: "You go back and prepare first, Brother An Shi and Xie Xiaolangjun will go to pay tribute." ”

The author has something to say:

Chapter 9: Ox Carts

Wei Ji answered, saluted Xie An again, and then turned to leave the main hall.

When she arrived in the courtyard outside, she saw Wei Sheng hiding behind the rocks and waving to her.

Wei Ji walked over and said angrily: "Why are you hiding again, why are you always sneaky when you talk at home?"

Wei Sheng said: "I can't let my father see it, yesterday he tested me a few questions, only half of them were correct, he blew his beard and glared at me to whip me, fortunately I ran fast." ”

Wei Ji knew that Wei Shen had always been strict with her children's studies, even her nephew was not immune, let alone her son.

"He shouldn't be able to take care of you today."

"Why"

Wei Ji thought to herself that your second brother had already killed the thief, and you couldn't be angry with your uncle today, she said: "There are many things at home, and he has no time to take care of him." ”

Wei Sheng sighed, "Then I can escape the catastrophe, by the way, I heard that the kid from the Xie family is here, I'll take a look at what it looks like." Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that the outside world was rumoring about him, I wouldn't have told Sister Ji'er, and I didn't ...... later."

When Wei Sheng heard it, the last time Wei Sheng blamed himself for letting Wei Cong and Wei Ji fall into the water, she said it once. Now that the ox cart that hit the person couldn't be found, he was a little angry with Xie Xuan.

"You don't make sense of what you said," Wei Ji touched his head, "He doesn't know anything, just passing by a neighboring county, how to blame him." ”

Although Wei Sheng is young, he has been studying for many years, and he knows the truth in his heart, but he used to have two Wei families in the same branch, he likes Wei Cong and Wei Jiao's brothers and sisters, but now that there is no one, he feels uncomfortable, and there is nowhere to vent, so Xie Xuan is not pleasing to the eye.

Wei Sheng's thick black brows furrowed, and he suddenly squeezed his eyebrows at Wei Sheng again, "Isn't that kid?" ”

Wei Jiao first pinched his ear, a yellow-haired child, and he actually called someone else a kid. She had already guessed who was behind her, and whispered, "Don't be rude, let outsiders laugh at the Wei family." After speaking, he felt that it was not enough, so he warned again, "Let my uncle know that you will be smoked to the brim." ”

Wei Sheng was shocked, and he was really much more honest.

Xie Xuan walked out and saw Wei Ji and Wei Sheng talking at a glance. Wei Sheng stood chubby on the side, lining Xie Ji slender and thin.

"Yudu, he is your fourth brother, Shengxiao Langjun" He approached the two of them, with a smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

It's a pity that the two of them in front of them don't understand the spring breeze

Wei Sheng looked confused, "Who did he call?"

Wei Ji said: "The word that Xie Jialangjun gave me just now. ”

Wei Sheng knew the meaning of the elders' words, glanced at his lips, and said in his heart that the Xie family was not a serious teacher, so he wanted to come to take the words for Wei Cong.

But he didn't say it in the end, he nodded at Xie Xuan reluctantly, even if he said hello, anyway, he was still a child, and it was normal to be ignorant, Xie Xuan couldn't complain.

Wei Ji said: "I'll go back first, you study hard, don't make your uncle angry again." ”

Xie Xuan didn't show anything after being treated coldly, and said, "Yudu, my uncle asked me to go with you." ”

Wei Ji glanced at him and said, "Okay." ”

The two families married, Xie Xuan was originally Wei Ji's fiancé, and now it is normal to go to mourn alone.

Wei Ji had already thought of today's situation when she was preparing for herself, and she didn't have any special emotions. went out and got into her own ox cart first, Xie Xuan saw that she had no intention of inviting herself, and went to the Xie family's ox cart behind.

The two cars left before and after, bypassed the Huang family's house, and stopped at the door of Wei Ji's house.

When she got out of the car, Wei Ji looked back, and the ox cart that had been parked outside the courtyard of the Huang family slowly followed, still not far away.

Xie Xuan got off the station at the door, standing tall, like a green pine. The bearing is gentle, and there is no domineering attitude like the children of the scholar clan.

The mourning hall has already been prepared at home, and Hui Niang presides over the inside and outside, and comes to the door to wait at this moment, "Xiao Langjun is back." ”

She looked at Xie Xuan, looked up and down, and sighed gloomily in her heart, in terms of demeanor and bearing, Xie Jialangjun and her girl can be regarded as a perfect match, it is really a pity.

Wei Xuan walked to the door, and Xie Xuan was about to go in with her. Wei Ji suddenly stopped, and asked with a smile: "That ox cart belongs to yours."

Xie Xuan followed her gaze, his expression unchanged at all, and said, "Exactly." ”

Wei Ji said: "Why stay away"

Xie Xuan said: "The car was my mother's mother's relatives, and I met on the road a few days ago, and I was afraid that something would happen on the road, so I walked all the way." Today's condolences are a matter for both of our families, and it is not appropriate for outsiders to show their faces. ”

This is said without leakage, and there is a difference between what is said and what is intimacy. Wei Ji was extremely familiar with him, and noticed the unnaturalness that flashed very faintly on his face.

She sneered in her heart and strode towards the door.

The courtyard has long been draped with white flags to make the appearance of a mourning hall, and a coffin is placed in the center, with candles, incense and other offerings.

Wei Ji walked to the coffin, remembering that a few days ago she sorted out her clothes and picked out a set of what she used to wear and put them in the coffin, at that moment, Wei Ji seemed to have an illusion, she seemed to be really dead. Taking advantage of the servant's inattention, she put an inkstone on Wei Cong's book case under her clothes.

The things of their brother and sister were placed together in the coffin, regardless of you and me.

Xie Xuan stepped forward to burn incense to mourn, his expression was solemn, his eyes were slightly closed, he didn't know what he said in his heart, he opened his eyes for a long time, and inserted the incense into the furnace after three bows.

When the servants saw Xie Xuan, they felt more and more sorry for the girls in the family, and two of them secretly turned their backs to wipe their tears.

Hui Niang invited Wei Ji and Xie Xuan to sit in the hall for a while.

Xie Xuan asked, "Madame is here today?"

Wei Ji knew that he was here, and he should go to visit the elders.

Hui Niang showed an embarrassed expression. In the past few days, Yang's illness has been repeated, and he is only awake for a moment, and more often he is confused and difficult, and it is inevitable to make people laugh when he sees outsiders.

Wei Ji said: "Erect a screen in the room and let Xie Jialangjun salute in front of the door." ”

Hui Niang immediately ordered the servants to do so.

Xie Xuan didn't know about Yang's condition when he came, and when Wei Ji came to the front of the mother's room in the backyard, he smelled a strong smell of medicine from two feet away.

He had the heart to ask, but when he saw Wei Ji's faint expression, he didn't say anything and listened to Hui Niang's arrangement.

Xie Xuan was giving salutes in the courtyard, only to hear Hui Niang whispering behind the screen, "That's Xiao Langjun of the Xie family." ”

Suddenly, a sharp woman's cry came from inside the room, "Where's my sister-in-law?"

Xie Xuan was surprised when he heard this, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xie Xuan hurriedly bypassing the screen and entering the house. She whispered reassuringly, and the voice inside grew softer.

When Wei Ji walked out, there was a slight redness in the corners of her eyes.

The two returned to the main hall, and Xie Xuan asked her if Yang was sick.

Wei Ji said: "My father died early, it was not easy for my mother to raise our brothers and sisters, and my sister suddenly suffered a catastrophe, she was angry and suffered from hysteria. ”

Xie Xuan was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Yang's illness to be so serious, hysteria is the most difficult to treat, and even famous doctors are often helpless. He glanced at Wei Ji, and couldn't help but soften in his heart, he was treated coldly by her all the way today, and the little worry in his heart disappeared at this moment.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I know a good doctor, proficient in the art of Qihuang, incurable diseases can also be treated, living in seclusion in Luofu Mountain, your mother's illness can be found to him." ”

Wei Ji said: "But Ge Xiangong"

Xie Xuan nodded.

Wei Ji said: "I heard that he has a strange temper, and ordinary people can't see him. ”

Holding Puzi Ge Hong, proficient in alchemy and medical skills, it is rumored that he has the ability of life and death and flesh and bones, and the folk call him an immortal.

Xie Xuan said: "He knows my father and my uncle, so I went to ask my uncle to repair a book and introduce him on his behalf." Speaking of this, he felt that it was not difficult to handle this matter, and said with a smile: "Yudu, this matter is entrusted to me, and I will not disappoint you." ”

He thought he would be happy, but when he turned his head, he met her complicated and melancholy gaze.

Wei Ji quickly looked away, and in her previous life, she also asked Ge Hong to treat her mother in the name of the Xie family. But at that time, Yang's brain had been confused for many years, and the medicine stone was useless, and Ge Hong could only make her a little stable, so that she would not cry all the time. At that time, Ge Hong had said that if he had been cured in the early years, he might have been cured.
