Chapter 139: The Willows and Flowers Are Bright
Wei Zhongxian was castrated into the palace after he became an adult, so his voice was not shrill, and his figure was also very burly and majestic, except that he had no beard, and he was not much different from ordinary men when he changed into civilian clothes.
Later, after he came to power, he repaired the ancestral hall in various places, and his statue in the ancestral hall was not only lifelike, rich and handsome, but also added three more short whiskers to show awe.
Fengsheng's wife Kebaba's original choice of Wei Zhongxian and abandonment of the Wei Dynasty was because Wei Zhongxian was "eloquent", spoke like a normal man, was full of temperament, and could speak well, humorous and humorous, and won the favor of the Hakka family;
The Hakka family had a son before entering the palace, he was only eighteen years old when he entered the palace, and he was not yet thirty years old when he met Wei Zhongxian. Since then, he has always been in love with each other and respectful as guests, not as the literati of later generations maliciously speculated, Wei Zhongxian was because of his deep scheming, and he had long judged that Zhu Youxiao would ascend to the throne, so he hooked up with the Hakka family, thinking that it was the ladder to enter the body.
Of course, Wei Zhongxian has gone from an illiterate eunuch to a eunuch who is now the master of ceremonies, and it would be false to say that there is no credit to the Hakka family, but Wei Zhongxian has done his best and been loyal since he served by Zhu Youxiao's side, and completely treats this hard-working teenager since childhood as his own child, and pampers him abnormally, not only taking care of his daily life, but also accompanying him to play, play, tell all kinds of folk anecdotes, and teach him to sing, play music, play chess, Although the relationship between the two is that of master and servant, in the heart of Zhu Youxiao, who has lacked fatherly love since childhood, this old eunuch can be regarded as at least half a father. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian was favored by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, which he exchanged for with his sincerity, and he did not do it deliberately at the beginning, but had a plan.
Wei Liangqing was even more happy when he suddenly saw his uncle coming, and hurriedly welcomed Wei Zhongxian to the main seat and sat down, and Gao Jie and the others also respectfully saluted.
Wei Zhongxian smiled and asked, "What, Xiaojie, you are also interested in bowing?"
Gao Jie smiled and replied, "I've never played it before, but when I saw it today, I was very curious, and I was appreciating Brother Wei's equipment and learning the knowledge of clicking on the bow!"
Wei Zhongxian nodded, and then said a little heavily: "Xiaojie, the old man found an opportunity today and went to Ciqing Palace on purpose, preparing to convey the news of your visit to Beijing to His Royal Highness King Xin, however, things are not going well. ”
Wei Liangqing asked anxiously, "Uncle, but His Royal Highness King Naxin is not here?"
Wei Zhongxian said: "This is one of the reasons, it is said that His Royal Highness King Xin and Xiaojie's parents went out to worship and failed to meet. Xiaojie, do you know Wang Chengen, the eunuch who served His Royal Highness King Xin?"
Gao Jie asked puzzledly: "I had a two-sided relationship when I was in my hometown, what's wrong?"
Wei Zhongxian continued: "When I went to Ciqing Palace, I only saw this Wang Chengen, and he was very polite to me, but when he mentioned you, he couldn't remember that there was such a person as you, so I didn't want to ask too much, so I immediately rushed back to inform you. ”
Gao Jie was stunned, how could Wang Chengen not know him, his parents were still in Ciqing Palace, what happened in the middle?!
Thinking of the process of meeting Wang Chengen at the beginning, Gao Jie really couldn't think of why he blocked himself from meeting Zhu Youzhen and his parents. Although Wang Chengen is a eunuch, but the other identity is a master of the Wudang Songxi faction, and he is also the younger brother of Yao Shimen, Gao Jie has a bad impression of him, and feels that he seems to be particularly high, with eyes above the top, and he looks down on people who are not from a good background or a small place, which is very different from Yao Shimen's enthusiasm and righteousness. It is said that Gao Jie and him have no bad relations and festivals, why does he pretend not to remember himself at all?
Seeing Gao Jie standing on the spot, his expression constantly changing, Wei Zhongxian smiled and comforted: "Xiaojie, don't think about it too much, maybe this Wang Chengen is really a forgetful xenomorph, don't worry, your business is on Uncle Wei, you can live here with peace of mind, I will come back to inform you as soon as there is news!"
Gao Jie smiled bitterly: "Now it can only be like this, but I have to trouble Uncle Wei and Brother Wei for a few more days, and Xiao Jie is very unhappy." ”
Wei Liangqing patted Gao Jie's shoulder and said loudly: "What are you talking about?!" If you can stay here for a few more days, it's too late for me to be happy, and if you have time, you can learn martial arts, visit the capital, and make some good friends!"
Wei Zhongxian also said: "Xiaojie, don't be polite, since Qing'er recognizes you as brothers, don't see outside, if there is anything else you need help with, just say it, when this is your own home!"
Wei Liangqing seemed to think of something, turned his head to Wei Zhongxian and said, "Uncle, do you know about the bow shooting willow in Dongyuan tomorrow?"
Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "Of course, I will accompany the saint to go with me then." ”
Wei Liangqing said: "How many teams will participate in the bow competition tomorrow?"
Wei Zhongxian pondered for a moment and said, "There is one team of palace attendants, three teams of Guozijian, two teams of the Beijing Praetorian Guard, and one team of the Houjin Mission, there are probably seven or eight teams! What's wrong?"
Wei Liangqing smiled and said, "Uncle, I haven't been to Guozijian for class these days, and I don't know about the Holy Lord's organization of bowing, so why don't you do me a favor and add us to the participating team?"
Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but ignored the fact that his nephew hadn't gone to class for a few days, and said, "Who are you guys in this team?"
Wei Liangqing pointed at Gao Jie and the others and said, "Oh, it's all here!"
Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "Xiaojie, none of them have played Juju, Qing'er, aren't you fooling around? If you want to play, after tomorrow, my uncle will arrange for you to go to Dongyuan!"
Wei Liangqing was speechless and didn't bother to explain, so he turned back to Gao Jie and said, "Xiaojie, show your uncle a hand and let him open his eyes!"
Gao Jie's mind at the moment was on Wang Chengen and his parents, how could he be in the mood to perform, so he used his mind to communicate with Wukong and explained a few words to him.
I heard Wukong roar softly, turned a somersault on the spot, and suddenly threw the wooden ball in his hand out of the door, and the wooden ball flew quickly towards the courtyard wall.
Wei Liangqing was surprised, "Ah also" shouted, and was about to run out to find the wooden ball that flew out.
Before he could take a step, he saw Wukong rush out with a "whoosh", the speed was as fast as a meteor, and there seemed to be an afterimage of him in the same place.
Gao Jie was still standing and pondering, and Ji Longfeng was also playing with the stick in his hand expressionlessly, only the Wei uncle and nephew looked at each other, not understanding what kind of plane this little monkey-like Wukong was doing.
However, in the blink of an eye, it is estimated that the wooden ball has not yet landed, and the Wei uncle and nephew saw Wukong standing in the house again, and the wooden ball that had been thrown out was being thrown around in his hand, as if he had never left the room.
Wei Zhongxian's eyes were straight, and he was stunned, while Wei Liangqing hesitated for a moment, and then cheered loudly: "My mother, Wukong, you are amazing, this speed is even faster than the arrows that are shot!"
Wukong was not good at words, he just smiled innocently, and Ji Longfeng said lightly at this time: "The tiger and leopard jackal are fast enough, but there is no one who dares to compare speed with Wukong!"
Wei Zhongxian only came to his senses at this moment, shook his head and sighed: "People can't look good, the words of the ancestor are really reasonable! It seems that Xiaojie, you are all aliens with unique skills, this little bow beating competition will definitely not be difficult for you!"
Wei Liangqing said excitedly: "Uncle, you haven't seen the mounts of the three of them yet, I dare to pack the ticket, even in the Holy Imperial Horse Prison, I can't find such a handsome BMW!"
Wei Zhongxian became even more interested, and immediately stood up and asked Wei Liangqing to take him to see and understand.
When Wei Zhongxian came back and sat on the main seat, there was no more doubt, he said with a smile: "Great, arranging for you to participate in the competition is a trivial matter, I am looking forward to you becoming a dark horse in the arena tomorrow!"
After speaking, he looked at the absent-minded Gao Jie again, got up and walked in front of him, put his hands on his shoulders, and said solemnly: "Xiaojie, Uncle Wei understands your mood and knows what you are thinking. Listen to Uncle Wei's words, nothing in the world is immutable, and nothing is doomed! I often accompany the Holy Master to listen to Sun Chengzong's teachings, and I have heard such a saying, "The mountains and rivers are exhausted and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village", you just need to do what you should do, and everything will be fine!
Gao Jie raised his head, looked at Wei Zhongxian's sincere eyes, and nodded heavily: "Thank you Uncle Wei, I understand!"
Wei Zhongxian put down his hands, put them behind his back, looked at him and smiled kindly, and said, "I have a hunch, maybe you don't have to wait long, you can achieve your wish tomorrow!"
Gao Jie blinked his eyes and asked puzzledly, "Uncle Wei, how do you say this?"
Wei Zhongxian laughed: "So, nothing is set in stone, by chance, a few of you are going to participate in tomorrow's bowing competition, when the time comes, in addition to the Holy Lord's personal visit, it is estimated that His Royal Highness King Xin will not miss it, you talk about it, will things take a turn for the better then?"
When Gao Jie heard this, his eyes lit up, and the depressed color on his face was suddenly swept away, he bowed down and saluted, and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Uncle Wei's words are like an initiation, Xiaojie had a gaffe just now, but it made you laugh!"
Wei Zhongxian touched his head, shook his head and said: "You can't be blamed for this, at a young age, you have come all the way to the capital, and your parents are close to you but you can't see each other, and it is inevitable that anyone will lose their ground, it's okay!
Gao Jie's heart was agitated, and he was inexplicably moved, and he didn't know how to express it, so he had to nod his head again and again.
Wei Zhongxian laughed heartily, patted Gao Jie's shoulder again, and then asked Wei Liangqing to explain the techniques and rules of bowing to Gao Jie and the three of them in detail, and hurried back to the palace.
Gao Jie was so keen to participate in the bowing competition this time, what he wanted was nothing more than to stay in the capital for a long time in the future, contact the royal nobles, civil and military officials and the children of the nobles in advance, and by the way, understand the situation in the capital and the court, which would be of great help to how he settled down in Beijing, but he didn't expect that this decision would give him the opportunity to break through the obstacles and meet King Xin and his parents.
For a while, Gao Jie was in a good mood, looking forward to tomorrow's Dongyuan bowing competition.
