Minister

105【Seven years of Jiankang】

There was no one else in the study, Wei Chi was wondering why the eunuch who was attending the study was not behind, Guo Taifu said: "Today is the prince's vacation, usually the princess takes him with him."

Wei Chi thought to himself, isn't the prince's biological mother a good person?Why are you clinging to your aunt all day long?Things in the Chen family are really strange...

Wei Chi didn't eat lunch and drank a few sips of wine, it was very difficult to think wildly at the moment.Chen Entropy came over and took her hand, turned to Taifu Guo and said, "Teacher Wei, let Master Wei stick paper butterflies!"

Guo Taifu didn't know what the so-called "paper butterfly" was, so he agreed.Wei Chi's brain is not working right now, so he was dragged into the house in a daze.

The main room of the study has two floors, but the second floor is an attic for storing books. Usually, slaves and maidservants go up to get books, but Wei Chi himself has never gone up there.One day, when I was talking about games with the little prince, I thought of the second floor—if there is flower paper, I can stick some paper butterflies, put it down from the second floor, and fly out of the yard.

Master Wei didn't pay attention, but Chen Entropy took it to heart, and his little head wondered what was going on with this 'butterfly' all day long.Usually busy with schoolwork, there are a bunch of slaves following, this is not allowed, that is not allowed, so I put it aside, this time is an opportunity, so I quickly brought it up.

In the past at the Hanlin Academy, Mrs. Guo came to give lectures, and Wei Chi didn't have a good impression of him.Taifu Guo has real skills, but he is still far from the masters in the academy who are dedicated to academic research.Moreover, if a person enters the center of power, he will stop talking nonsense. Wei Chi doesn't care about him even more when he thinks of the efforts he has given to the emperor in the matter of King Yan.The Hanlin Academy also deliberately kept a distance from this former Hanlin University scholar.

If Wei Chi had had lunch, he would definitely not go in now.

It's a pity that I didn't eat a bite...

There is no colored paper head here, so Wei Chi had to use the rice paper on the table to make it. In fact, two shredded paper ends were pinched, folded, and sandwiched together. Only two wings could be seen, whether it was a butterfly or something else. all will do.It was so ugly, Mr. Guo couldn't hold back, and laughed.Chen Entropy looked at Wei Chi eagerly, with a very admiring expression.

Sure enough, there was no one else in the study, only a door in the attic was ajar, and he entered with a push.In the past, any books that were needed temporarily were taken down by the servants, but it was only when Wei Chi came up today that his eyes were wide open. It will not be the emperor's place, the 'attic' is bigger than the main room.All the princes would study here. Chen Ang also spent his youth here. With his cunning character, he probably didn't suffer any beatings.According to Chen Ang's chat, at that time, five or six children were studying here, and it was very lively every day.Fortunately, after such a toss, there are only two children left in the descendants of the Chen family.It is estimated that the emperor himself has taken care of it a long time ago, and never let Qin Wang's family come here, so there is only Chen Entropy, the only seedling.

Chen Entropy broke away from Wei Chi's hand, and ran to the edge of the flower table with the paper butterfly. Mrs. Guo was afraid that the little guy would be overjoyed, so he quickly followed with his chubby body.The old and the young flocked to the flower stage and were stunned. Chen Entropy held the butterfly and turned around and asked, "Master Wei... how do you want to play?"

Wei Chi laughed a few times, and also entered the flower bed, took the paper butterfly from Chen Entropy's hand and put it on the edge of the flower pot, took a deep breath, and blew... the inconspicuous little piece of paper spun out and flew out. Like a white butterfly, waving its wings and flying higher and higher with the wind.

Taifu Guo's eyes widened in shock: "I said Mr. Wei usually taught the prince a lot of games!"

It was obvious that there was something in the words, but no malicious intentions could be heard. Wei Chiyi boldly decided to bring out his seniors to suppress others: "No talent, it was taught by Dr. Li to the students."

Dr. Li is also Li Xiange of the Imperial Academy.The same generation as Guo Taifu, he is also a leader in the academic circle. He never interferes with the government. He only cares about teaching students and compiling good books. He has nothing to do with the turmoil in the court.I am an old naughty boy, who is not serious when he opens his mouth and shuts his mouth, and likes boys who are as serious as him.Therefore, the Li family's dining table is the place where Wei Chi has been eating for a long time besides the Geng's family.When Bachelor Cheng was lecturing in class, Wei Chi was sleeping with a book on his head, Master Cheng almost passed out of breath, so he was about to hint to Li Xiange who was on the side to go down and beat him.Unexpectedly, there was no response after several hints, but after a closer look, Master Li actually fell asleep even more deeply, and he was still moaning!

Irregular!

Master Cheng commented on the old and the young in this way, and the old and the young got acquainted like this.

Li Xiange did teach Wei Chi a lot... But this time he was really wronged... At most he only taught Wei Chi how to cheat when making New Year's films... What kind of butterfly is this, he really doesn't know .

Prior to this, Mrs. Guo had no prejudice against Wei Chi, but this person was always very serious, and he had to teach him a few words when he encountered anything.Wei Chi's bland, half-joking words suddenly seemed a little awkward.Fortunately, Chen Entropy yelled at the side in time: "Master Wei! That one flew away, master make me another one!"

Taifu Guo was silent for a while: "You can make another one for him."

Wei Chi made a lot of them mercilessly, anyway, there were plenty of papers on the desk in the attic.

Chen Entropy was overjoyed. Apparently, Taifu Guo was much more kind to the prince than to the students of the Hanlin Academy. He was no more noisy than his own primary school students, so he happily hugged a lot of butterflies and accompanied Chen Entropy to the flower stand to let them go.

Looking at the backs of the old and the young, Wei Chi suddenly realized that today's weather is ridiculously good, the sun is so round, and the light is so warm and auspicious.It must be a good day and auspicious day calculated by an expert, it couldn't be better, and it is not worthy of anything other than marriage.

What is Geng Yunmei to me?Is it just my sister?Wei Chi deeply knew that this was not the case, perhaps he was somewhat similar to the little Ah Ying back then.That beautiful little girl was the idol of this group of little boys, and all the boys were either flattering or messing around to get her attention.Wei Chi wandered around, not understanding why he did this, but he followed suit.When he grew up, Wei Chi looked back and thought, if the teacher raised him as a girl, wouldn't he be one of those little girls chattering with little Ah Ying?But after all, it has passed, and Wei Chi's childhood has completely become the childhood of a little boy.When little Ah Ying got married, the sadness of those little men also washed over Wei Chi, and Wei Chi even felt that this feeling was somewhat reasonable.

Geng Yunmei in the capital, when Wei Chi met her, she was happily spending her childhood as a girl.Wei Chi watched curiously from the side, and sometimes he would have some strange thoughts, such as fantasizing that he was her little sister, or herself.When Geng Yunmei looked at her with the same eyes as her elder brother, and began to cry for herself, Wei Chi suddenly panicked, but there was a little bit of happiness hidden, which was really hard to explain.

When she learned that Geng Yunmei was willing to accept Lin Mao, she was undoubtedly relieved, but she was also a little bit disappointed, which was also hard to explain.

Wei Chi thought it was jealousy, a quality that almost all women possess.But when she was hungry and her reason couldn't work anymore, she knew it was a stupid excuse to prevaricate herself.

Wei Chi sighed deeply.

"Master Wei... do you want some snacks?"

Wei Chi has an amazing nose, before noticing that Yuxiang is such a living person, he smelled the sweet and greasy smell of goat's milk puff pastry.

"Thank you, Her Royal Highness."

Wei Chi was surprised to notice that Her Highness the Princess was by her side all the time, and even called the little maid to come up and serve a few plates of snacks.Wei Chi tried to make himself smarter: "The minister is leaving."

Wei Chi kept bowing his body, the princess didn't speak, but turned around and told the little maid: "Find a few people to wait outside the courtyard, and pick up all the butterflies that fly out of the courtyard, so as not to cause troubles later. "

Wei Chi glanced secretly, Chen Entropy was having a good time, and Mrs. Guo was protecting him, looking like a happy family.

"Please sit down." Yuxiang turned around and said.

Wei Chi hesitated for a moment, this request is not overstepping the rules, and he has no right to shirk it.

Wei Chi sat at the bottom of the table, staring blankly at the honey-colored curtain being lifted by the wind again and again.While he was in a daze, the person behind him said flatly, "Does Master Wei have any childhood friends?"

Before Wei Chi could answer, the man went on to say, "I have a good friend. We have known each other since we were very young. At that time, the palace was more lively than it is now, but they were all boys. My brothers are much older than me. Play with me. Finally one day, I waited for her. Although I can only meet her on festivals and birthdays, those few days are the happiest days of the year. Someone can play games with me, can make noise with me, can ...Say something that only girls say. But she got married today, and such days will never come back."

Wei Chi didn't know who the princess was talking about, so he said: "...This woman can still enter the palace after she gets married. The emperor is so kind and will definitely allow it."

Yuxiang looked at Wei Chi's back: "This is different, she will have her own family, and what she will say at that time will be different... So, the prince is more lonely than me, and the emperor's brother is too serious about his studies. , Master Wei should enlighten him from time to time."

Wei Chi looked at Chen Entropy outside the flower terrace: "The prince is very smart and sensible."

Yuxiang was silent for a moment, remembering what Tangtang often said to herself, and suddenly no longer believed in the flowers before the moon and the moon in the drama.I don't seem to have any unreasonable thoughts in my heartbeat, I just feel that there are some things I can say to him, and there are too few people who can talk to me.Maybe it's just like Concubine Geng said, it's just that this person is gentle and elegant, and I feel safe. Whenever I meet him, my heartbeat is fast but always steady.Those chasing men make people want to hide, he doesn't seem to be in love with anyone, just indifferent, getting along with others like a friend.

Yuxiang felt that Tangtang's statement was frivolous.

"Children who grow up in the palace are very sensible...Master Wei is very similar to my close friend in the boudoir. I cherish her so much, and the crown prince also cherishes you. Whenever there is something interesting and delicious, the crown prince always I like to say, Master Wei told him what is more delicious and fun. When something is broken, he always says that Master Wei will definitely play with it. Just like when I was a child, I always felt that this young lady knew everything. In winter she will catch many birds for me, in summer there are crabs and small fish, and lotus flowers she brings from the bank of the smoky lake."

"When I was young, she was very naughty, and she often took me to cause trouble in the palace. She took me to hide in the closet during the nap, and we all fell asleep. The old nuns searched for a long time and couldn't find it. Even the guard We were all dispatched. We were punished that night. At that time, the father was still alive, and his beard was raised with anger. We also used bamboo poles to pick swallows’ nests, but the bamboo poles fell down and hit our heads. When I was learning needlework, She went to the palace to accompany me and learn stitches from embroidery workers. She said that she didn’t want to learn from female workers, she wanted to learn to be a general and go to the border to serve the country.”

"Now that I think about it, I took those childish words seriously. When I grow up, some of them will dissipate like a cloud of smoke, leaving only the ugly fat swallow she embroidered for me..."

Wei Chi sighed: "I also know a good friend. At that time, I had already achieved fame, but I was still a child in my heart. It was okay when I was studying, but I still wanted to find someone of the same age when I was playing. Before the Beijing exam, she was very young. Holding on to the little girl, when I come back from Monan, the little girl has already grown into a big girl waiting to be married." Wei Chi smiled: "Coincidentally, she also said that she would be a general."

While Wei Chi said this, he couldn't help but look back at the princess.Unlike the domineering noble relatives of the Chen family, this girl only had a calm face.Wei Chi felt that the Chen family must have thought too much, and Princess Chen just happened to know him. As for the rumors of an affair, it was simply groundless.

Seeing Chen Yuxiang for the first time, Wei Chi felt that a word was born for her, and that was - petite and exquisite.The teacher had nagged countless times, saying that if Wei Chi had been raised as a girl back then, he would have been a little birdie.How can you be considered a little bird?Wei Chi didn't bother to understand.But now Wei Chi knows that she stood in the snow that day, like a gentle dove, looking at you softly, so that you can't even want to look at her.It's no wonder that something that didn't even exist in the spectrum made that elder brother Chen jealous enough, and the sour smell wafted for eight miles.

"Does the princess think women can be great generals?" Wei Chi laughed.

Yuxiang thought for a while: "I don't want a woman to be a general."

"why?"

"Because my father once said that you can't take a bath during a war."

Wei Chi burst out laughing: "Yes, I haven't bathed for more than a month."

Yuxiang said in a low voice: "So she won't listen to the persuasion, she will definitely not be able to bear it."

Wei Chi smiled and turned around: "This matter, whether it's a man or a woman, it's best not to accept it."

Yuxiang suddenly started nagging: "But this girl is very stubborn. She has such a temper. Once she wants something, she will not die until she sees the Yellow River. Before she came here, she felt that Dachen Palace was really Big, it seems to be the whole world, without boundaries. It was her who took me around and let me know that there is another world beyond this palace wall. But I finally understood that these walls are so high and thick, even A stubborn person like her can't take me out. In fact, I don't want to go out that much, but she always tells me about the things outside, the streets, people, festivals, and things I don't know... until she wants to Before getting married, she still hasn't forgotten to promise me...to take me out to have a look." Yuxiang wanted to say something, but she didn't know what she wanted to say, she just felt sad.On the one hand, he was sad about his loneliness, and on the other hand, he was also worried about her future whereabouts.The beauty of childhood, the hazy goodwill passed away too quickly... making people feel at a loss.

Wei Chi asked: "Is that a little girl like a princess?"

"What's the same?" Yuxiang didn't understand.

"If you can take a bath, you are willing to be a general."

Wei Chi laughed when he heard the people behind him.The Dachen Palace outside the window is a bit soft behind the curtain, and the eaves of those plots are hazy and blurred.The paper butterfly released by Chen Entropy flew higher and higher in the wind, as if it was about to fly to the sky.

"Did the princess ever want to fly when she was a child?" Wei Chi asked suddenly.

Chen Yuxiang didn't know why this adult would ask such words: "If you can fly out, you can try it."

Wei Chi smiled and said: "When I was young, I would think so when I climbed on the haystack. Many years later, when I came to the capital and went to the Imperial College to take the Beijing exam, I stood upstairs and thought, when will I be able to fly into Dachen?" Palace. Now it’s really coming in...of course it’s useless to fly.”

"I can enter the Dachen Palace from the remote countryside of the Shu region without flying. Therefore, the princess does not need to be depressed, and one day she will be able to get her wish."

"It's a pity that I can't even attend her wedding. If I can fly out today, today is fine."

Seeing Wei Chi turn around suddenly, Yuxiang smiled very nicely: "Princess, don't worry, that girl must be very happy. She must feel that the princess misses her so much. Her husband is a good man, and she will be happy all her life." very happy."

"How does Master Wei know?"

Wei Chi stood up and said, "I really know." Wei Chi felt that both of them were sore, maybe it was because of Lin Mao's jealousy, thinking that that person's heart would put the surname Lin first in the future, It's not the taste... so naive, haha.

Yuxiang finally smiled through tears.

Wei Chi turned around and picked up a goat's soufflé from the table: "It's really too sweet!"

Yuxiang smiled while wiping away his tears: "Master Wei really picks three checks and checks four."

"Is this a bad thing said by the prince?"

Yuxiang pointed to the table: "There are cherry candies."

If Saul Hahan is an eagle flying in the sky, then this princess is a dove by the window, Wei Chi thought, today he is like a lost dog, a bit embarrassed and pitiful, even the doves sympathize Own.

Cherry candy is not made of cherries. Wei Chi ate one. The candy was a bit sour, but soft and delicious: "I wonder if the taste of the willow sand is the same?"

Yuxiang heard the man's joke, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Master Wei's hands are still so sticky, why don't you try it? Instead, ask Ben Gong..."

Unexpectedly, this little pigeon is very good at debating. Wei Chi was speechless for a while, licked his fingertips, and then smiled: "It's not that I encountered some incident, but I also tasted it, the princess said?"

Yuxiang had heard that this man was eloquent and eloquent, and thought of how he was crying just now, he was afraid of being laughed at by him, so he quickly picked up a book and read it.Wei Chi had cherry candy in his mouth. The candy was so hard that it wasn't considered a snack at all, and it didn't shrink even after licking it for a long time.There are also walnut cakes and mille-feuille cakes on the table, and there are two other items whose names I don’t know. Wei Chi was a little helpless, and slowly came to his senses—this princess didn’t introduce herself, but invited herself to eat this, so it can be seen that she is still very good at teasing people of.It was the first time I talked to her, but after all, we were acquaintances? ... All in all, Wei Chi wanted to make trouble, but he still didn't dare, for fear that her brother would drag him out and chop him up.

Wei Chi tried his best to lick the cherry candy, but unfortunately he still couldn't see the candy, so he smashed the jar and started chewing.

Crack!Wei Chi was taken aback and didn't dare to use any more force.

Yuxiang laughed out loud, thinking that it was the first time he had made a fool of himself, and this time it was the first time he made a fool of himself.But the time when Tangtang was added was one less time... Yuxiang looked at Wei Chi trying to lick the candy, pretending to be calm in embarrassment, watching his eyes gradually fall on the book in his hand.Yuxiang took down the book covering his face and looked at it. It was "The Analects of Women": "I took it at hand..."

Wei Chi smiled and said, "This is not pretty."

"It's so rare, adults have also read "The Analects of Women"?"

"What can't I read? It was written by a man anyway." In fact, it was Wei Chi and her teacher who thought that she would eventually find a son-in-law for Wei Chi, and added this book to Wei Chi's classwork.Wei Chi regarded it as a literacy textbook, and flipped through it in a hurry. When he became sensible and recollected the things in the book, he was afraid that being a woman would not be easy.It’s okay to smile without showing your teeth, but it’s really torture for a guy like Wei Chi who naturally likes to jump up and down and look around: “This book is boring.”

Wei Chi licked the candy, clapped his hands and said, "This book is beautiful, it should be available here." He saluted and walked around behind the bookshelf.What Wei Chi was talking about was "Kyushu Miscellaneous Notes", and she remembered that there was also this book here.Wei Chi was looking for a book while chewing on candy.By the time he came out with the book, he had already crunched and chewed all the sugar.Wei Chi licked the corner of his mouth and put the book in front of the princess.

Yuxiang picked it up politely and flipped through it: "It's rare that an Imperial scholar like Mr. Wei knows such a book. Although it is good, it's a pity that I have already read it."

Wei Chi was very surprised: "Does the princess also know about Han Qing's going to Da Cang Mountain?"

Han Qing is the author's affectionate name. In the novel, he is a down-and-out scholar who collects strange things everywhere while traveling.This section of Da Cangshan in the main book mainly talks about folk customs and landscapes, and the description is in place and the plot is gratifying.This is Wei Chi's bedside book when he was a child.

Coincidentally, this is also one of Yuxiang's bedside books, but she doesn't know what's behind Da Cangshan: "Behind? Isn't there only ten volumes?"

Yuxiang thought about it for a while, and found it really strange that he did feel like he stopped abruptly at the end of the reading.

Wei Chi shook his head: "There are still ten volumes to come, but very few have been handed down. It is estimated that most of them are ghosts, and they are not liked by serious people. It just so happens that my teacher has read the last ten volumes, so I can't stand the entreaties of my ministers. The last ten volumes he remembered were probably silent. I originally thought that there was a complete volume in the palace."

That's more than just begging, it's going to tear apart Mr. Wei Chi's old bones!The old man had no choice but to follow the stubborn girl's wishes, taking some of the precious time he spent flirting with women from good or bad families and wrote her an outline.

Yuxiang was taken aback. She had read this book countless times and liked it very much, but she really didn't expect that there would be ten more volumes in the back: "To be honest, I really like it too. Do you still keep the last one?"

It's all about you and me, so it can be seen that I'm in a hurry.

It is rare for Wei Chi to meet someone who also likes miscellaneous books: "I only have the teacher's silent understanding. Although there is an outline, it is completely inferior to the original work."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Yuxiang clasped his fists together: "Master Wei..."

Chen Entropy was having a good time, looked back into the room, and asked Taifu: "Teacher, what did Aunt Huang say to Master Wei? Master Wei is good to the prince, aunt, please don't bully him."

Guo Taifu touched the prince's small face: "Master Wei is being mischievous, the princess can't bully him." The Taifu also looked back and understood in his heart: "It must be reading miscellaneous books."

Chen Entropy was worried that his master would be teased, so he asked, "What are miscellaneous books?"

Guo Taifu thought for a while: "It's a book that is useless in governing the country. If Master Wei shows it to the prince, the prince should not read it. The prince should read serious books!"

Chen Entropy nodded foolishly.

The author has something to say: Apologies, it's really late this time... Kneeling, rolling and twisting...

In fact, even I am very puzzled about the relationship between Wei Chi and Yuxiang.Yuxiang is a typical Daiyu type. Generally speaking, she is a literary young woman, a real literary young woman.But she is more complicated than Daiyu, and her heart is stronger than Daiyu.A certain part of Wei Chi's heart is actually Daiyu type. She also became a real intellectual because she likes to read.So their sympathy, aside from the initial romantic encounter, should be the backbone of literature and knowledge.

The main reason why this part makes me slow is that the distance between Wei Chi and Yuxiang is too far.It is the distance between the prince and the princess.Now we can finally get very close... The two Wenqing are co-produced.

So, Tangtang's little romantic tricks are really inappropriate... Touching Tang executives.

Thank you all for waiting so long.Before, a reader sister said that the quality of the first two chapters has declined, and I am also reflecting on it. This may be the two parts that were relatively disconnected when I first conceived it. The psychological changes of many characters are not coherent... I will pay attention to it later.Please give more comments.a lot of...
