[Qing Dynasty] Friends always come to chat with me in the middle of the night

During the second day's rest, Wei Tong asked Nalan Xingde to go out. When they met at the agreed restaurant, Wei Tong looked at the handsome Nalan who was brought up by Xiaoer and said, "Thank you so much yesterday." Lan waved back the second child, and sat down opposite Wei Tong, with a smile on his mouth: "It's nothing serious, it's just a little effort, nothing to worry about." Wei Tong shook his head, but he knew in his heart that even Mingxiang was there in yesterday's small meeting, so rude He will definitely be scolded for his actions, not to mention the impression other important ministers have of him.

Nalan looked at the slightly worried Wei Tong, took the initiative to pour himself wine, and said calmly: "Those people have basically heard of my reputation since they were young. There are good ones, and naturally there are bad ones, let alone the emperor. I went out immediately at that time, which proved that what I reported was indeed a major matter, and they would not have a bad impression of me because of it anyway, so you don't have to worry." Wei Tong listened to Nalan Xingde's reassurance, especially When Nalan was humbled, he couldn't help laughing, "I have heard of your reputation even in the frontier."

He laughed very chicly, "That probably isn't a good reputation, it's nothing more than flirtatious. As for poetry, it's nothing more than an embellishment of rumors in their eyes." Wei Tong was still smiling at first, but suddenly But when he thought of one thing, he was inexplicably guilty. He still remembered that he had said "a couple of people for a lifetime" in front of Kangxi back then, but the original owner of this sentence was sitting opposite him now. This feeling is really inexplicably refreshing .He doesn't even remember that this sentence was born now.

Nalan Xingde didn't notice the subtle change in Wei Tong's face. After pouring the wine for the two of them, he first raised a glass to Wei Tong, "Although my father disagrees with you in politics, he admires some of your things in private. Opinion, I am really not as good as you." Wei Tong held up the wine and toasted back, and said with a light smile: "These are not my credit, but the credit of those who really implemented them, and I can't take the credit." Nalan finished drinking in one gulp, Sighing: "You are so self-effacing, sometimes I feel a little stressed when I'm by your side."

Wei Tong was surprised, and stopped after drinking half of the wine, "What's the explanation?" Nalan Xingde is so noble and cold, and he only started to let go of his airs after he got acquainted with Wei Tong later. Wei Tong was taken aback.Nalan Rongruo's reputation has lasted through the ages, and he has been praised for his excellent poems.His own influence can be seen just from the strong praise given to him by Qingliu from the folks and the talented people who naturally gather around him.Even when they were on duty in the palace, there were still quite a few people who came along and tried to get closer to each other. This was not the kind of treatment that could be obtained just by relying on the brilliance of their parents.

"My reputation is just superficial. No matter how dazzling it is, it will only benefit myself. Is it half beneficial to the court and the community? You are different. No matter whether those things are your own ideas, the emperor specially promoted you to take charge Anyway, it shows your own ability, which is much better than my insignificant reputation." Nalan Rongruo finished his glass of wine in a bit of boredom when he said this, and picked up the jug again.Wei Tong saw that something was wrong with him, he was fine yesterday, and with his temperament, there must have been some dispute with Mingxiang when he returned home.

He has the lofty personality of a literati, he doesn't like court battles, hates officialdom, cares about the people and is indifferent to fame and fortune.There is indeed a conflict between this kind of character and Mingxiang.

"Hehe, if the world knows what I'm thinking, I'm afraid I can't wait for the spray to hit my face and smoke from the seven orifices." Seeing Wei Tong's silent look, Nalan Rongruo laughed at himself, and his face was as red as peach blossoms under the drunkenness, but slightly The bitter smile made the whole person a little sad.He finished drinking with his head up, and when he reached out his hand, Wei Tong held him down. "Other people's eyes are other people's business. As far as I am concerned, your appreciation for me is too much, but just like your senses for me, I admire you very much. What's more, your honey Its arsenic, prosperity, wealth and charming eyes, is everyone's pursuit, and some people will always dismiss it." Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is just what poets call work and coquettishness, but it is just theirs. It's just a unique sensitivity and delicacy. People who can create epic poems are different from others.

Nalan was only temporarily depressed, and the conflict between him and his father could not be formed overnight, and soon he calmed down and returned to normal, and he became a little more relaxed when talking to Wei Tong.After realizing that Wei Tong didn't take what he said just now, he immediately said sincerely: "If you are underestimating yourself, you are making a big mistake. The ancients said: If the mountain is not high, there will be immortals; if the water is not deep, there will be dragons." Zeling. You can’t choose your family background, but your virtue, ability and strategy are obvious to all. Although you often argue with the ministers, they have a good impression of you in private. Otherwise, my father would not have accidentally exposed it. breathed out."

Wei Tong stared at the food and wine on the table, thought for a while and said: "However, these merits are just accumulated by the ancestors, and I can only see higher and farther by standing on the shoulders of giants. It is really shameful that they are all accumulated on me. to face."

Nalan Rongruo was surprised and said: "Who in this world is not standing on the achievements of the predecessors? From ancient times to the present, no matter what aspect it is, it is the inheritance of the ancestors that has the glory of today. What's more, not everyone can have the achievements of your predecessors." Talent can make things come true. Even if someone has the same situation as you, and has the same ideas as you, can he really achieve this? Wei Tong, not everyone can stand in the palace to refute the ministers, Not everyone can gain the emperor's trust like this."

After Nalan said this, Wei Tong was a little confused, but before he could think about it carefully, the handsome man on the opposite side continued to say: "Perhaps you want to say that you are just lucky, but luck is also a kind of strength. How many people yearn for the emperor's favor but never get it, how many people pursue fame and fortune but never get anything back. Even if you can see clearly, but too clearly can be born. You must know that there are thousands of people in the world, but Wei Tong, Or Nalan Xingde, but there is only one." At the end, Rong Ruo couldn't help laughing, the smile he evoked was suave and suave, and vaguely had the taste of youth and frivolity.

Almost all the thoughts in Wei Tong's heart were hit by Nalan Xingde's words.Why don't you pursue these things, that's because they are within reach, and also because they don't belong to you.But Nalan's words opened up another situation, a side that Wei Tong didn't see clearly because of Wei Tong's retreat.He covered his face and sighed, a little embarrassed, "It's really unbearable to be so focused on your mind."

"Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference." Nalan Xingde said in a vague manner, and asked Wei Tong to pour a pot of wine. Afterwards, the two of them completely avoided these topics, but they really agreed with their plan to go out to relax today. Come and return with all your heart's content.

Wei Tong walked over when he came, and Chen Cha followed him and sat in the lobby downstairs.After seeing Wei Tong going downstairs, he followed closely.Wei Tong also planned to dissipate the smell of alcohol on his body when he went back, and when he returned to Wei's mansion, he was much more sober.

Lu's mother had already prepared hangover soup after knowing that Wei Tong had gone out to drink. After drinking a thick bowl, Wei Tong rested for a while, took a bath and changed his clothes, and the whole person relaxed a lot.Wei Ning came to see him, but it was very late at night, and Wei Tong quickly drove him back to rest.Originally Wei Ning planned to take Xiao Ke back together, but Xiao Ke grabbed the hem of Wei Tong's clothes and refused to let go, Wei Tong grabbed the clothes in embarrassment and reluctantly stayed with him.

"I'm full of alcohol now, and you won't be able to rest well here." Wei Tong put out the candle and lay down, wrapping his arms around Xiao Ke's small body and said helplessly.Xiao Ke giggled a few times, rubbed his whole body into Wei Tong's arms, and whispered: "Xiao Ke can take care of Tong Tong, and I can see Xuan today, Xiao Ke is so happy."

Before falling asleep, Wei Tong already knew that it was really rare to see Kangxi tonight. After all, the frequency of once every two or three nights was not very fixed, and sometimes Wei Tong would guess wrong.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Wei Tong turned over and said softly with his arms around Xiao Ke.Buried in Wei Tong's arms, Xiao Ke replied tenderly: "Because Tong Tong never asked."

...that is really a very concise and clear answer.

Now Xiao Ke is just over one year old, and looks very cute and cute.After Wei Tong asked him if he could return to his original form and got a negative answer, he could only plan to raise him well and drop his household registration.There is just one problem, Kangxi likes Xiao Ke very much, even stronger than before, which is beyond Wei Tong's expectation.The most concrete manifestation is that he asked several times to take Xiao Ke to the palace.

"Feng Zhi, I want to hug Xiao Ke in real life." Obviously, this topic was started again tonight.Wei Tong helplessly rolled his eyes at Kangxi who was hugging Xiao Ke, turned around and continued to grind his ink, and threw out a sentence: "Haven't we discussed this issue before? How do you explain Xiao Ke's existence?" After the second case, some rumors really made him dumbfounded.

"I can adopt him as a foster son." The man touched his chin, looking quite moved.Wei Tong had a headache after picking up the brush. Kangxi was really planning how to accomplish this, instead of taking it as a casual suggestion.Obviously, Xiao Ke welcomed the idea.

"No." Wei Tong can only be the one who pours cold water on him. Since Wei Tong promised not to resist anymore, he found that Kangxi has relaxed a lot in front of Wei Tong, and some emotions that were previously closed are gradually revealed, and he is closer to them. It was natural then as friends.

"Tongtong is so stingy!" Xiao Ke grumbled in Kangxi's arms, his small voice made people angry and funny.Kangxi walked up to Wei Tong with Xiao Ke in his arms, and said calmly, "Are you afraid that rumors will spread?" Wei Tong gritted his teeth a little, "There are already rumors." After getting things started, Wei Tong heard some rumors when he was idle.Nalan Xingde didn't care about this, but Buda asked him in private.To be honest, Wei Tong was really confused at the time.

Xiao Ke is indeed similar to him and Kangxi, if Wei Tong has nothing to do with Kangxi, it will be fine, but now that Wei Tong has suddenly emerged and is favored, the child who was short-lived in front of the ministers that day has become a doubt in their hearts.

After Kangxi pondered for a while, he turned Xiao Ke to play with him, and said softly: "Well, what Tong Tong said is reasonable, and there will be no gossips until Tong Tong becomes famous." After Wei Tong really used his talents to convince everyone, Shi Xiaoke will not be more conspicuous.

"Fengzhi, I plan to let you be the crown prince and tutor."

At this moment, Wei Tong was just about to seriously write something, Kangxi threw out a sentence lightly, which made his hands tremble slightly, and the dripping big ink stains seemed to reveal Wei Tong's inner restlessness.

"What do you mean?" Wei Tong pursed his lips, not quite understanding what Kangxi was doing.The prince is now eight years old, and there are already carefully selected candidates around him. Wei Tong is now forcing his way in... He can even imagine Suo'etu's rage.
