Chapter 17: Heard

Wei Ji took the word to the study to find his uncle Wei Shen, got his guidance, and asked him for advice on what he had learned recently. Wei Shen liked this nephew's diligence in studying, so he explained his doubts in detail at the moment, and took a volume to Wei Ji and asked her to go back to study.

"Although people in the world often say that they study hard behind closed doors, if they only understand the literal and do not go through the experience of the world, it is just an article, not a study." Wei Shen said, "Your foundation in Confucianism is still solid, but metaphysics has just started, you must find a teacher who is proficient in Confucianism and metaphysics, and when your eldest brother Wei Jin comes back, it is time to choose a teacher for you." ”

Wei Ji has long known that with Wei Cong's identity, she can't stay at home forever, just like the two brothers, she is also going to go out to study. But before that, I had to take my mother to Luofu Mountain for medical treatment.

Wei Shen knew her concerns, and said: "I have already talked to your second brother yesterday, the imperial court reward will come down in a few days, there is still some time before taking office, let him accompany you to Luofu Mountain, and your aunt and I can rest assured." ”

As a minor junior in the clan, Wei Ji must follow the arrangements of her elders when she goes out.

She thanked her uncle and left for home. As he walked through the garden to the door, he heard two servants gossiping about the courtyard.

"I heard that Zhao Langjun just came back, so he entered the room of the Huan family's maidservant."

"But that Ling Yuan, I saw it in the morning, it is worthy of being from the Huan family, it is indeed more beautiful than those few. I heard that he also plays the pipa well. ”

Wei Ji didn't think it was strange when she heard it, there were originally few masters in the backyard, but now there are more of them, and it is normal for the servants to talk about it in their spare time.

When she returned home, after visiting her mother, she went back to the study to practice reading and calligraphy, and so on for several days she did not go out again. Hui Niang told her about the outside every day. After Wei Zhao went home, there was a party every day, and the county magistrate of this county had already received the rumor, knowing that there would be a big reward in the imperial court this time, and personally feasted Wei Zhao in the restaurant. The county order is a scholar from a poor family, since he became an official, he has to sit and lie down in the style of a bachelor, I heard that Wei Zhao is a meritorious service to kill the enemy, and I am afraid that the other party is a reckless man.

Wei Zhao has been away for many years, and he is also good at socializing on the scene, and he pushes the cup and changes the lamp with the county order, and the atmosphere is harmonious. Several well-known families in the nearby county town also heard the news, and several friends that Wei Zhao made when he was young also came to look for him, and for several days in a row, Wei Zhao was rare to be idle, and he only went home when he was drunk at night every day.

Hui Niang also told Wei Ji that the Huang family's diligence in running to that Wei Mansion in the past two days was intended to let the girl in the family be Wei Zhao's concubine.

A few years ago, Wei Zhao's reputation was damaged, the Wei family was in decline, the Gaomen clan was reluctant to marry a daughter, and the low-ranking scholar clan felt that such a marriage was not beneficial. The Huang family is the closest to the Wei Mansion, knowing the situation, and two years ago, they considered marrying the girl in the family to Wei Zhao, but the girl refused, and said to the elders that if Wei Zhao had already been promoted, she would marry immediately. But Wei Zhao has no grade, he is a prodigal, how long can the name of the Wei family clan be kept. As soon as the Huang family heard that it made sense, they only had a thought about it.

Now that Wei Zhao is back, he directly skips Yaji and wants to be sealed directly. Although today's atmosphere is Chongwen and light martial arts, but that is only for those military attachés who have no foundation, Wei Zhao himself is a child of the scholar clan - I don't see that the Huan family is now in charge of the army, and even Wang Xie These gate valves have been suppressed by half The Huang family regretted that he missed the best opportunity back then, and it happened that the girl was picky and chosen, and she had not been married for two years, and the head of the Huang family found the Wei family this time and proposed to marry. But knowing that the situation is different now, he doesn't dare to think about the position of his wife, so he just wants to be a concubine for Wei Zhao.

Hui Niang said this, stopped to take a breath, and took two more sips of tea, "Why doesn't the girl ask what the result is?"

Wei Ji said: "I must have agreed." ”

Hui Niang found that Wei Ji had a lot more ideas since she was rescued from falling into the water, and she had become more sophisticated in her feelings, but she was young, and she often made people ignore the past, "How did the girl guess." ”

Wei Ji said: "Uncle is old-fashioned, he must want to follow the will of the ancestors to take root in Jiangxia, although the Huang family does not have the name of the scholar clan in the local area, but it is also rooted in the posthumous body, and there are official bodies for generations, but the grade is not high, and it is a turbid official." The Huang family wants to become a scholar clan, and the Wei family needs to rely on the Huang family's local power. Hit it off, the best of both worlds. ”

Hui Niang was silent for a moment and sighed: "The girl has seen far-reaching. There was also a happy event to inform the girl. This marriage is decided, and only the girl of the Huang family will marry into the Wei family. The Huang family promised to give up the backyard to the Wei family. Since then, the two Wei Mansions can be connected into one place. ”

When the Wei family first settled in the local area, the ancestors of the Huang family never backed down, and it seems that now they are really optimistic about the prospects of the Wei family, to be precise, they are optimistic about Wei Zhao.

But this is a good thing for Wei Ji, the real courtyard is connected, it can be divided into two households, north and south, the door is closed, and the backyard can go directly to the uncle's house, no need to go around from the front of the Huang family. In the future, Wei Ji will not have to worry about her mother when she is outside.

"It's a good thing." Wei Ji smiled lightly.

Hui Niang said: "I heard that at the Huang family's wine banquet, someone took advantage of Zhao Langjun's drunkenness and wanted to say that the Huang family girl was his wife, but Zhao Langjun opened his eyes and looked at each other twice, and his momentum was amazing, so scared that the person's wine glass was scattered, and he quickly said that he was a concubine. ”

Wei Ji thought of Wei Zhao's appearance, he was not a weak scholar at all, how could he suffer such a loss, and shook his head.

After Hui Niang finished chatting about Wei's family affairs, she took out a letter and put it on the table for Wei Ji to read.

Wei Ji couldn't think of anyone who would write a letter, so when she took it and looked at it, she saw the Xie family's sigil.

The letter was written by Xie Xuan, saying that he had arrived in Jiangzhou, wrote about what he saw and heard on the way, asked her if she had taken her mother to seek medical treatment, and finally persuaded her to come out to find a famous teacher to teach knowledge.

Seeing her expressionless, Hui Niang asked, "What did Xie Jialangjun say?"

Wei Ji said: "It's all nonsense. ”

Hui Niang crumpled the letterhead into a ball and quickly picked it up, "Why is the girl so tired of Xie Jialangjun?"

Wei Ji couldn't explain to Hui Niang, so she had to say: "I'm afraid that if I get closer, he will know his identity." ”

Hui Niang sighed, and she didn't know if the girl's decision to pretend to be Lang Jun was right or wrong, but what she saw was the loss of the Xie family.

Wei Ji snuggled up, leaned in Hui Niang's arms, and said coquettishly: "In the future, I may not lose to him." When I became a celebrity, I retreated to the mountains and forests, changed back into women's clothes, and I was still a girl. ”

Hui Niang stroked her hair, "I'm afraid that I will waste the years and miss the marriage." ”

Wei Ji said: "How did Aunt Hui know that I missed my marriage, and when I went on a study tour, I really saw the true temperament of those scholars, and I couldn't find one with good conduct and my heart?"

Hui Niang sneered, and pointed her finger at the door of her head, "No shame." ”

The author has something to say:

Reporter: Interview who made you finally embark on the life path of fish pond management.

Wai Ji: is the author of the Mary Sue Brain

Reporter: Let me ask again, your family is either the king of the sea, or the future fish pond manager, is it the family style?

Wei Jiao: Family style is to be pretty, pretty, or pretty

Reporter: Is it reasonable to be beautiful and do whatever you want?

Wei Jiao: Imitation Jin, reasonable, you don't see that there are people in the family who have been seen to death because they are too good-looking, I call it family inheritance 18

Chapter 18: Liu

After another two days, when Wei Zhao was still reading hard in the study, the servant rushed to her and told her outside the door that the imperial edict had just arrived at the Wei Mansion next door.

The edict made the entire county tremble, the so-called not sounding has been a blockbuster, and if it does not move, it has been a thunderous thunderbolt. Wei Zhao is only 22 years old this year, and he suddenly ranks in the fourth rank, young and powerful, and his future is limitless.

Wei Ji washed up and changed into a new set of clothes, and took the gift that Hui Niang had prepared to her uncle's house to celebrate.

Today, the Weifu carriage is full of horses, and the ox cart can't move when it reaches the mouth of the alley. The servants of the guard were also in a hurry, and drove the cattle for a long time before moving a way. Wei Ji entered the mansion, and there was a stream of guests inside, and it was really lively.

Wei Ji was young, and he was not needed for entertainment during the banquet, so he was arranged by Wei Shen to play with Wei Sheng. Wei Sheng was rarely given a day off and didn't need to read and learn words, so he was happy like something, pulling Wei Sheng to babble and ask the servants to bring all the pastries and fruits, and happily watched those neighbors go in and out while eating.

The bustle of the Wei Mansion did not dissipate until evening, when all the guests left, and the servants were cleaning up the main hall and courtyard. Fortunately, a few days ago, Le Shi had already prepared, and the banquet was properly arranged, and there was no rudeness.

Just when the whole family was feeling tired, the servant rushed in and hurriedly shouted, "Jin Langjun is back." ”

Wei Shen and Le's faces were happy.

Wei Ji also felt that today was a good day, and the edict came at noon, and the eldest brother Wei Jin arrived in the evening.

The whole family went to the door to greet him, and Wei Sheng stood beside Wei Jiao, craned his neck and looked out of the gate. Wei Zhao drank too much wine today, and his footsteps were already a little vain when he sent off the guests, but he had just drunk a bowl of soup to relieve hangover, and he was still striding at this time, still walking in a tall posture.

Two ox carts slowly approached the door, the door opened, and a thin man got out of the cart, he had long eyebrows and sideburns, and his face was straight, he was a very handsome man. He saluted to Wei Shenle and said, "My son is back." ”

Le's eyes immediately turned red.

This is Wei Jin, the eldest son in the family, who has been away from home for more than three years. It's just that the situation of the eldest son and the second son is completely different, Wei Jin is obsessed with metaphysics, and vows not to go home if he doesn't read it thoroughly.

Even Wei Shen, who has always been strict with his studies, felt a little headache when he saw the stubbornness of his eldest son.

There was a knock on the car door, and Wei Jin turned around and helped a woman and a four-year-old child out of the car.

The woman was Wei Jin's wife, Liu.

Liu was born in the Pengcheng Shi clan Liu, with a single name and a Rong character, born with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, white complexion, and quite gorgeous. This family affair was set between Wei Shen and the Liu family when he was Shang Shulang.

Before Liu got married, she was quite famous among the girls in Pengcheng, she was born well, and her talent was also good, because she grew up with her brother in general education, and her ability to ride a horse and hunt is not a problem, and she is a little more heroic than the talented girl who is against the general poetry.

Wei Ji had more contact with this sister-in-law than her eldest brother Wei Jin in her previous life, and she had the impression that the Liu family was very arrogant, and she was not in her eyes when she waited for idlers.

After getting out of the car, Liu took his four-year-old son to salute Wei Shenle.

Leshi looked at the child beside her. At the age of four, it is a time to be lively and active, and everything is curious. His small face was slightly round, his eyes were big and round, and he looked curiously at the group of people in front of the door at this time, and he was clever at a glance when he blinked.

Le's heart was full of love, and he beckoned: "Come to the eldest mother." ”

Four-year-old Wei Qi looked up at his mother, and Liu nodded. Wei Qi ran up and down with one foot deep and one shallow, and the servants on the side followed closely. He ran to Le's face, saw her kindness, and called, "Big Mother." ”

Leshi leaned over and hugged him, shouting "good grandson", and his joy was overflowing. is as strict as Wei Shen, and rarely sees a smile on his son, but at this time, he looks at his grandson with a smile.

The maid reminded softly: "The autumn wind is cold at night, don't let Xiaolang blow the cold wind." ”

Le Shi led Wei Qi, Wei Shen and Wei Zhao front and back, Wei Ji led Wei Sheng, Wei Jin and his wife, and the servants who accompanied them, and a group of people returned to the main hall. Le's loved Wei Qi very much, and personally took the fruit to feed him.

Wei Shen asked about Wei Jin's situation. Wei Jin has devoted himself to the past few years, and has studied deeply in "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" and "Zhou Yi". After chatting for a few words, the two began to discuss the study of Xuanyuan.

Wei Zhao yawned, drank all night of wine, and when his stamina came up, he squinted slightly, swept his gaze around, and turned from Le's and his little nephew to Wei Sheng in turn, and then saw Wei Ji. Others listened to Wei Shen and Wei Jin talk about metaphysics, but Wei Ji turned her face slightly sideways and listened very seriously. She wore a tea white hub coat, covered with a blue and white gown, a small face with pink and greasy, and slightly curved eyebrows, as if she was a well-made jade.

Wei Zhao was already half-drunk, and his mind was not yet sober, and his eyes couldn't help but look her up and down thoughtfully.

Wei Ji felt something, turned her head and saw that it was the second brother Wei Zhao, and smiled at him slightly.

Wei Zhao's heart seemed to be beaten hard, and he suddenly woke up, cold sweat broke out on his back, and the alcohol faded in an instant, secretly scolding drunk and hurting people, and his face sank.

Liu Shi said to Le Shi at this time: "Mother, it is tiring to travel all the way, Qi'er is young and weak, I will take him down to rest first." ”

Her tone was light, as if it should be.

Le also knew her temper, and she was rude to her mother-in-law at the beginning of entering the door, but she never deliberately flattered her, which was the temper of a noble girl of the noble clan. Le's smiled and wiped Wei Qi's mouth, and asked the people serving beside him to take care of him wholeheartedly, and Liu confessed to Wei Shen again and left with the child.

Wei Shen saw that it was getting late, and was quite satisfied with what Wei Jin had learned over the years, and saw that Wei Zhao was very drunk, so he waved his hand and let them disperse.

When Wei Ji walked out of the main hall, the eldest brother Wei Jin stopped him, asked him how he was at home, and said that he would visit his aunt tomorrow. He was gentle and polite, his eyes were full of love for his brother, Wei Ji had a faint warmth in his heart, knowing that he didn't catch up with Wei Zhao Wei Sheng, he came to talk to her first, because he pity her for having just lost her siblings and her mother was sick again. After Wei Ji thanked him, he said goodbye to Wei Zhao and Wei Sheng, and then went home.

The next day, Wei Jin really took his wife and son to Wei Ji's house, and after meeting Yang's family, he asked about the pulse case, he not only knew Confucianism and Xuantong, but also knew a lot about medical science, after understanding Yang's condition and prescription, he thought for a while, and said: "Yudu, hysteria is the most difficult to treat, I have heard of the name of Ge Xianshi, since the Xie family recommended, you should go to the doctor as soon as possible, my father just told me this morning, by the second brother to accompany you to Luofu Mountain, taking care of the brother should be the responsibility of my eldest brother, but it is really difficult to get rid of it recently." ”

His tone was guilty, and he stopped talking.

Wei Ji hurriedly said: "Uncle originally arranged it this way, when the eldest brother has been away from home for a long time, he should serve his parents more these days." ”

They recounted, Liu led the child to the courtyard to walk around, here the Wei Mansion is much smaller, it will not take long to finish a walk, she looked around, a very faint contempt flashed in her eyes.

Wei Jin asked about Wei Ji's daily life and academic homework. Wei Ji answered one by one, Wei Jin looked at the young and well-behaved brother, and said warmly: "If you encounter difficulties, come to the house to find my father and me, don't stop talking because of thin faces, our two families are connected by flesh and blood, and we should support each other." ”

After sitting for a while, Wei Ji sent his husband and wife outside the door and watched them board the ox cart.

In just two days, she admired her eldest brother Wei Jin very much, he was profound, elegant and elegant, and responded to the poem "There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting, such as learning, such as grinding".

Watching the wheels roll and the ox cart go away, Wei Ji still felt a little strange, the two brothers Wei Jin and Wei Zhao, one writer and one martial arts, were extremely outstanding, how could they suffer disasters and become silent.

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Ji couldn't think of any useful clues, so she had to put aside her doubts for the time being. Although she doesn't remember the reason why something happened in that life, as long as she is vigilant and always pays attention to the situation of the two brothers, she can always detect the clues of things changing.

She went into the house and told the maid to pack her mother's clothes and prepare to leave for Luofu Mountain in a few days.

Wei Jin and Liu sat in the ox cart, Wei Qi was the age of playfulness, and was held by the maidservant.

Liu said: "I heard that in the future, when the girl of the Huang family enters the door, the backyard will be given to the Wei family, and the two families can be connected in one place." ”

Wei Jin nodded and said exactly.

Liu looked thoughtful and said: "I see that Cong Xiaolangjun is young and careless, and there is only one old mother in the family, so I am afraid that I will have to rely on your brothers for support in the future." Your second brother is a good fate, and when he meets a noble person like General Zhengxi, he is now on the rise. Your eldest brother is now far from him. ”

Wei Jin frowned and said, "Yudu is smart and diligent, and he will learn and succeed in the future." Even if he is really mediocre, he should be a brother to help him. The second brother has a high position now, and he has earned his life by making meritorious contributions, and he is ashamed that he can't help him as a brother, how can he have other thoughts. ”
