Chapter 678 The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold

"Dare to talk back?!"

"Put it up!"

Wei Wenjun wiped away his tears, pouted his buttocks aggrievedly, Wei Wei swung the wooden stick, and hit him a few more times.

"You son of a bitch, just after a few days of stable life, you started to cause trouble, right? Is the princess something you can provoke? Are you trying to kill our family?!"

"I never messed with the princess, but she gave me snacks"

"You still say no? How good is His Royal Highness, can he still lie to me? He has said it all, let me discipline him, will a person like him deliberately deal with you?!"

Wei Wenjun's face was full of grievances, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

Seeing him like this, Wei Wei put down the wooden stick helplessly, then sat beside him, stroked his head, and said seriously: "Son, I know you are thinking about your family, but There are some people we can't get close to on purpose. The prince is kind to us and kind-hearted. If I asked him, he would definitely arrange for you to study, but I didn't do that. Why? Because His Highness has no obligation to treat you like this We, we don't have to please His Highness, as long as we don't disgust him, that's enough."

"What kind of person is the princess? Your Majesty's darling is very much loved. When I was serving the princess, I often heard them talk about it. Such a person is not something we can get close to. You have to remember your origin , we have been slaves for generations, the most humble, how dare you approach such a noble person on purpose?"

"Grandmother. I really didn't approach it on purpose. She stopped me and forced me to eat. She also said that if I didn't eat, she would beat me up."

"Whether you did it on purpose or not, remember it for me. When you see her in the future, just run away. Don't talk anymore, let alone eat her food."

"What if you can't run?"

"Then kneel down and apologize! Don't even look at her!"

"I see. Mother."

Seeing her son's pitiful appearance, Mrs. Wei was quite helpless, continued to rub his head, and said with emotion: "Don't blame me, it's all for your own good, it's different between people, we are living People at the bottom, in this courtyard, even if you see a dog, you have to pay homage. Our fate may not be as good as that hunting dog. When you grow up, you will know this truth, and you will see it later. People, you must salute, okay?"

"Um"

"Wenjun, if I find you a father, would you like it?"

Wei Wei asked tentatively.

During these days, Zheng Ji sent people to get close to her from time to time, and vaguely wanted to take her as a concubine. Wei Wei is not stupid, she understands what the other party means, and now she is the person next to the prince, although she is just A house slave, that is also the prince’s house slave, this status is terrible outside, even the powerful in those places dare not say that they are too rude to the servants of the prince’s family, besides, the life of the powerful is not easy now, when In order to curry favor with Marquis Pingyang, they all served each other as if they were elders. This prince was many times more noble than Marquis Pingyang, so it was understandable for the other party to behave like this.

Although Aunt Wei knew it in her heart, she didn't feel resentful.

She is not an innocent girl to be married, she has experienced so much, and she can see everything clearly. In fact, Zheng Ji is a pretty good person, her family is rich, not rich, but she has no worries about food and clothing. She is tall and handsome, with a good temper , never hits people, will please others, if you follow him, it's not too bad but there is one thing, his wife's surname is Cao, I heard that she is a very arrogant person, she always bullies her beloved, which makes Zheng Ji They don't want to live at home, and often go out to have fun.

If it was his concubine, she probably was really going to be bullied.

However, she was working in the prince's mansion, and the prince and the Cao family were close relatives, maybe she didn't dare to humiliate herself easily?

Wei Wei was still a little confused.

When Wei Wenjun heard Wei Wei's words, he fell silent immediately. After a long time, he raised his head, fumbled and took out a few coins from his sleeve, "Mother, I can support you."

Wei Wei was furious, and slapped Wei Wenjun directly on the face, "Where did this money come from?!"

"I helped a big brother in the front yard clean the house the day before yesterday, and he gave it to me."

With tears in his eyes, Wei Wenjun said in a low voice.

Aunt Wei felt sour, and hurriedly picked him up, "I know, I know, I don't want to find any father, you come to support me. I'll just wait for the blessings and the blessings."

Wei Wei comforted him for a long time, and made Wei Wenjun stop crying. Wei Wenjun began to feed his two younger sisters, while Wei Wei was breastfeeding the youngest daughter. The family was full, and Wei Wenjun was about to work, but suddenly There was a knock on the door, Wei Wei was shocked, picked up the scissors vigilantly, suddenly remembered something, put down the scissors, and hurried out to open the door, there were several people standing outside the door, including a maid, the leader It is the prince.

Wei Wei hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't know the prince is here, forgive me."

"It's okay, I'm just here to take a look. The child is still young, so don't break it."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. This stick is useless. I have already taught you a lesson. Please come in."

"I'm not going in."

Aunt Wei asked Wei Wenjun to come out, and seeing the boy's red and swollen face, Liu An couldn't help nodding, um, just get beaten up.

Wei Wei explained: "My child is still young and doesn't know how to be polite. The princess stopped him from talking, but he didn't know how to be polite. Please punish him, Your Highness!!"

Wei Wenjun suddenly remembered his mother's instructions, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

Seeing the respectful appearance of this Zhuzi, Liu An sneered. He is so skilled in the world, how dare he say he didn't approach him on purpose? ?Dare to come to my family's cabbage at a young age?How can I spare you? !The rest of the people looked at Wei Wenjun's appearance, but nodded. This kid is quite polite, not bad.

"How old is the child?"

"Five years old."

"Five years old is not too young. As a mother, you can't always spoil him. You have to let him learn to make great things. Don't let him continue to idle in the backyard. Go to the front yard. I will Find him the best scholars to teach him"

When Wei Wei heard this, she was overjoyed.

She hastily bowed in front of the prince, her excited voice changed, "Son of a slave, how dare you go to school?"

"It's okay, it's not a serious business to hang around in the backyard all the time, it's better to read some books, it's good to know some etiquette."

"Thank you, Your Highness!!"

Wife Wei pushed Wei Wenjun again, but Wei Wenjun was dizzy and followed suit.

Soon, the prince left here, Wei Wenjun followed him timidly, his eyes were full of blankness, Liu An looked at this kid, no matter how he looked at him, he looked like a treacherous villain, which was extremely unpleasant, What my father said is indeed true. He has such a traitorous appearance at such a young age, so he must be disciplined! !

The two came to the front yard. Liu An looked around and suddenly laughed.

"Tian Yu!! Come here!"

Holding the article in his hand, he put away the article to the irascible scribes who scolded him left and right, walked up to Liu An, and said goodbye.

Liu An claims to have three thousand disciples, among whom are Su Fei, Li Shang, Zuo Wu, Tian You, Lei Bei, Wu Bei, Mao Quilt, Jin Chang, etc., who are the most talented and learned, and are the most outstanding among the three thousand disciples. , People at that time called Menxia Hachiko, and in the eight kilometers, Tian You had the most violent temper, he couldn't get along with the other seven people, and he was not very polite to Liu An. He dared to refute Liu An loudly and reprimanded him for writing articles. One of the main revisioners of Dahan Honglie.

"Don't you have no disciples yet? This child is called Wei Wenjun, so I will be your disciple. I can tell you that you must teach him well and not let him indulge just because he is young! I have already started reading at his age." History books, he still doesn't know how to read, so you teach him according to the strictest standards!!"

Tian You was stunned for a moment, looked at the boy beside him, and suddenly sneered, "Your Highness, I don't know how to take care of children."

"You don't need to take care of him, his mother is in the backyard, you can just teach him."

"I'm afraid that such a kid can't inherit my knowledge!"

"Teach with your heart and see how much he can learn"

After Liu An said that, Tian You couldn't continue to object, so he just nodded, "I see."

Wei Wenjun stayed by the teacher's side, and the prince left with a smile, in a good mood.

Wei Wenjun sat timidly in front of the teacher, watching him secretly.

Tian You was furious, "Sir, how can you peep in private? If you want to see it, just raise your head and look straight! Don't act like a thief!"

"only!!"

Wei Wenjun was so frightened that his voice changed, Tian You just picked up the book, "I will teach you a hundred characters today, you must learn it today, if you can't write it tomorrow, you will suffer! I don't care about you No matter what your identity is, even if it is His Highness's illegitimate son, I will still beat him!"

Wei Wenjun frowned, and said loudly: "My father is the riding slave guard infant of Pingyang Houfu, I am not an illegitimate child!"

Tian You was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Okay, you have a lot of backbone, it depends on whether you have such a backbone when you can't learn how to be beaten."

Because Wei Wenjun couldn't read, Tian You's initial teaching still had to start from enlightenment, and he was indeed as he said, very strict. While teaching characters, he also added a lot of messy knowledge, saying The old Wei Wenjun was dizzy. After studying for a long time, he just hit the board, but he didn't learn much.

At night, when Wei Wenjun came home, Wei Wei stood at the door and waited for him. Seeing him coming back, Wei Wei was very excited and dragged him into the house.

"How is it? Have you learned it??"

Wei Wenjun stretched out his hand pitifully, "Mother, the teacher beat me and said that if he couldn't recite what he learned today, he would beat me again."

Hearing his words, Wei Wei was not angry, but overjoyed.

"Okay! Great! Our family is going to have a scholar!! Our family."

Aunt Wei was so excited that she almost burst into tears, but Wei Wenjun asked: "Mum, do you think it's because I talked to the princess that the prince deliberately wanted to kill me and let that person beat me and bully me?"

"fart!"

"What kind of person is His Royal Highness, can he still target you?? Letting you study is such a kindness. Being strict with you is to sharpen you. If you suffer more now, you will have great achievements in the future, Mr. Wen. You know the family In this situation, this is your only chance. Study hard, okay? Don’t offend your teacher, follow him and study hard. My mother never begged you, just this once, study hard, didn’t you say Do you want to support me? If I read the book well, I will be able to live a rich life in the future, and I don’t have to suffer anymore. The same is true for your younger sisters. For us, you have to study hard, okay? "

The young Wei Wenjun couldn't understand what Aunt was thinking at the moment. He wiped away his tears and nodded firmly, "I will definitely let you enjoy yourselves!"

From this day on, Wei Wenjun began his career of studying, or the career of being beaten.

The teacher's requirements became more and more strict. Wei Wenjun read and studied all day long, but he always felt that he didn't learn enough, and the teacher's words became more and more severe.

Tian You looked at the article in his hand, "Can you make 27 mistakes in a hundred words?! Is this the result of your reading?! If you can't learn it, go back to your backyard!! Don't waste my time!!"

Wei Wenjun hurriedly saluted, "Please don't drive me away, teacher. I will study hard, I can't leave"

"Why can't you go!"

"I want to study hard and let my mother live a good life. I promise her that I will let her enjoy life."

Tian You was silent for a moment, and then scolded disdainfully: "Stupid, go and copy it three times! Go back later and tell your mother, stay with me tonight. I have too many things to do during the day, and I will tell you some skills at night. .”

"only."

Wei Wenjun sat in front of Tian You respectfully, lowered his head and began to write, not daring to neglect at all.

Although Tian You was still yelling, his eyes softened a lot.

"What?! Already finished the first chapter of Enlightenment?? How could it be so fast??"

Liu An's eyes widened, listening to Tian You's report, he was speechless.

Tian You said proudly: "Although this Zhuzi is stupid, but he has a teacher like me, how can this speed be said to be fast? Within a year, I will let him pass the classics!"

Liu An suddenly fell silent, and looked at Tian You quietly, "Why didn't I see that you are so good at teaching disciples?"

"The main reason is that this Zhuzi is very hardworking, unlike those noble boys who study hard day and night. Although he has no talent, hard work can make up for his weakness. That's what he said."

Liu An nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "As a man, how can he only study literature?"

"What has Mrs. Zhang been up to lately?"

"He just returned home. Your Highness is going to let him practice martial arts with Mrs. Zhang?? But he is still young, so I am afraid that he will hurt his body."

Liu An was silent again, "Well, let's wait a few years before we talk. I remember that your swordsmanship is also good, you can let him practice swordsmanship first, and suffer hardships. Don't develop a cowardly character, you still have to Much grinding."

"I see."

"Your Highness, I just don't understand why you care so much about the son of a domestic slave?"

"Isn't it because he is afraid that he will go astray? No need to ask."

"only!!"

"Big Sister! Call Big Sister!"

Liu Jie hugged the little guy in her arms and teased him with a smile.

Ti Ying said helplessly: "It should be called aunt. How can you call me elder sister?"

Xiao Liuqian didn't know this, he just grinned foolishly.

Liu Jie became even more excited immediately, "Eldest sister, look at him, I feel like I'm hugging Father!"

"I don't care how much older he is. Doesn't calling me aunt make me look old?"

Ti Ying smiled wryly, and Liu Yan asked again: "Where's my elder brother?"

"I went to learn too much, saying that I want my father to serve as a sacrificial wine or something."

Liu Ye was a little tired, so he handed the child to Tiying again, "Then I will come to see Qian another day. Eldest sister, sometimes I come to Changle Palace to look for me, and now I am always in Changle Palace, and I will not go back to Weiyang Palace. Aunt Always scold me."

"Hey, don't make grandma angry all the time."

Liu Jie bounced out of the inner room, but didn't rush back. She searched in the backyard. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find anyone, so she went to the front yard. There were many people in the front yard, and everyone knew her identity. Everyone paid respects to each other, but Liu Jing didn't return the salute. She kept searching her surroundings, and suddenly, she found it!

Wei Wenjun was reciting the words, suddenly felt something was wrong, when he looked up, he saw Liu Jing in the distance.

At that moment, Wei Wenjun turned pale with shock, remembered his grandmother's teachings, turned and ran away.

"You stop for me!!"

Liu Jing hurriedly chased after him, but Wei Wenjun was not obedient this time, he just kept running. Obviously, he couldn't outrun Liu Jing, and just after running for a while, he was directly thrown down by Liu Jing, a hungry wolf. The ancestral tricks are exactly the same. The two maids in charge of taking care of the princess were frightened and hurried forward to help the princess up, so that the princess would not ride directly on the man's back. Liu Jie was very angry and dragged Wei Wen tightly. Jun's hand, gasping for breath, "How dare you run when you see me?? Ah? What kind of person do you think I am?"

"The princess is the most respected person in the world, I dare not be rude."

Wei Wenjun got up on his stomach, and then kept saluting without moving.

Liu Jie stood in front of him with his hips crossed, "In Chang'an, no one has dared to run away after seeing me. Let me tell you, if you dare to run away again next time, I will cook you! Do you understand?! "

Wei Wenjun was shocked, his eyes were full of panic, "Princess, spare me! I don't eat well."

Liu Jing laughed so hard that she rolled forward and backward.

"Get up and play with me for a while, can you play bamboo horse?"

"I do not know"

"I can teach you!!"

When Liu An came back, he saw the two of them having fun in the front yard. Liu An narrowed his eyes again. The next day, besides Tian You, Wei Wenjun had several masters, Mrs. Zhang. , Zhang Fu came to teach him swordsmanship and hone his martial arts.

In Taiwei's mansion, Liu Jing excitedly told his father the goat about that interesting child.

"Father, you don't know, he is stupid, he can't even play games, he always loses to me, hahaha, clumsy, he always falls down. I have never seen such a stupid person, but he still Very good, I gave him food, and he stayed to feed his sister at home. He is still studying, but his reading is a mess, and he doesn't know a few words. Anyway, he is not as smart as my elder brother. My elder brother seems to like him. Yes, seeing him always squinting his eyes and smiling all the time"

"Oh"

Han Xin squinted his eyes and smiled all over his face.

In the spring of that year, the great general Qing left the country of Ba, joined Xia Wangqi, broke Anxi, and beheaded more than [-] people.

All the senior generals wrote a letter to praise the victory, and the Taiwei Yafu showed his merits, but Qing refused, saying: "I would like to ask for the title for my brother."
