Chapter 685 The Fragrance of Plum Blossoms Comes from the Bitter Cold
How dare you talk back?!"
"Put it up!"
Wei Wenjun wiped his tears and raised his buttocks in frustration. Wei Wenjun swung the wooden stick and hit him a few more times.
"You're such a jerk, you just lived a peaceful life for a few days and now you start causing trouble, right? Use
Right? Is that princess someone you can mess with? Do you want to kill our family?!"
"I have never provoked the princess...she gave me the snacks..." "You still say no? What a good person His Highness the Crown Prince is, can he still lie to me? He has already told me to discipline him well.
, would a person like him deliberately deal with a pervert like you?!"
Wei Wenjun's face was filled with grievances, he was hesitating and speechless.
When Wei Wei saw him like this, she put down the stick in her hand helplessly and sat next to him.
He touched his head and said seriously: "My child, I know you are thinking about your family, but there are some people we cannot get close to. The prince is kind to us and has a kind heart. If I ask him
, he will definitely arrange for you to study, but I didn't do that, why? Because His Highness has no obligation to treat us like this. We don't have to please His Highness, as long as we don't make him disgusted, that's enough."
"What kind of person is the princess? She is your majesty's favorite. When I was serving the crown princess, I often heard them talking about...such a person is not something we can get close to. You have to remember
From our own background, we have been slaves to others for generations. We are the most humble. How dare you go out of your way to get close to such a noble person?" "Mom... I really didn't go out of my way to do it.
When I got close, she stopped me and forced me to eat. She also said she would beat me if I didn't eat..."
"Whether you did it on purpose or not, please remember this. If you see her in the future, run away from her. You are not allowed to speak anymore, and you are not allowed to eat her food...
"What if I can't run?"
"Then kneel down and apologize! Don't even look at her!" "I understand... Grandma."
Seeing her son's pitiful appearance, Wei Wei felt helpless and continued
Xu rubbed his head and sighed: "Don't blame me, this is all for your own good. There are differences between people. We are the ones living at the bottom. In this courtyard, even if you
When you see a dog, you have to bow before you... Our lives may not be as good as that of a hunting dog... When you grow up, you will know this truth. When you see people in the future, you must bow to people, okay?"
"Um..."
"Wenjun...if I find you a father, would you be willing?" Wei asked tentatively.
During these days, Zheng Ji sent people to come here from time to time to get close to her and vaguely wanted to take her as his concubine. Wei Wei was not stupid. She understood what the other party meant. Now she is the person next to the prince, although she is just a concubine.
A domestic slave is also a slave of the prince's family. This status is very important outside. Even the powerful people in those places would not dare to be too rude to the servants of the prince's family. Besides, the life of powerful people is not easy now. Back then,
In order to curry favor with Marquis Pingyang, they all served each other as if they were their elders. This prince was many times more noble than Marquis Pingyang, so it was understandable for the other party to act this way.
Although Wei Yu knew it in her heart, she did not resent it. She was not an innocent girl waiting to be married. After so much experience, she had seen everything clearly... In fact, Zheng Ji was a pretty good person. Her family had money, but she was not a rich man.
, but he has no worries about food and clothing, he is tall and handsome, has a good temper, he never hits anyone, and he will please people. If you follow him, it won't be too bad... But there is one thing, his wife's surname is Cao
, I heard that he was a very arrogant person who always bullied his loved ones, which made Zheng Ji unwilling to live at home and often went out to have fun.
If she was his concubine, she would probably be really humiliated.
However, she works as an errand in the Prince's Mansion, and the Prince and the Cao family are close relatives, so maybe she doesn't dare to humiliate herself easily?
Wei Wei was still a little confused.
When Wei Wenjun heard Wei Wei's words, he immediately fell silent. After a long time, he raised his head and fumbled out a few coins from his sleeves, "Mom... I can support you...
.”
Wei Yu was furious and slapped Wei Wenjun in the face, "Where did this money come from?!"
"The day before yesterday, I helped a big brother in the front yard clean the house... He gave it to me..."
Wei Wenjun said in a low voice with tears in his eyes.
Wei Wei felt sour and hurriedly hugged him, "I know, I know, I don't want a father anymore, you come and raise me...I'm just waiting to enjoy happiness...waiting to enjoy happiness."
Wei Yu comforted her for a long time and made Wei Wenjun stop crying. Wei Wenjun began to feed his two sisters, while Wei Yu breastfed the youngest daughter. The family was full.
Ready to work, but suddenly something went wrong, go to x
Then there was a knock on the door, and Wei was startled. She picked up the scissors vigilantly, and suddenly remembered something, so she put down the scissors and hurriedly went out to open the door. There were several people standing outside the door, including a maid, headed by
The person is none other than the prince.
Wei Wei hurriedly bowed and said, "I didn't know that the prince was here, please forgive me." "It's okay, I just came to take a look. The child is still young, so don't break it..."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. This is a useless trick. I have already taught you a lesson. Please come in..."
"I won't go in."
Wei Wei asked Wei Wenjun to come out. Looking at the boy's red and swollen face, Liu An couldn't help but nodded, "Well, it's a shame."
Just give him a beating.
Wei Wei explained: "My child is still young and doesn't know etiquette. The princess stopped him to talk to him, but he didn't know how to use etiquette and avoid taboos. Please punish me!!"
Wei Wenjun suddenly remembered his mother's instructions and hurriedly knelt down to salute. Seeing the respectful look on his face, Liu An sneered. He was so skilled in the world of people, how dare he say that he didn't approach him specially? He dared to come here at such a young age.
You're giving me cabbage? How can I spare you?! The other people looked at Wei Wenjun's appearance, but nodded, this guy is quite polite, not bad.
"How old is the child? "Five years old."
"Five years old, he's not young anymore. As a mother, you can't always spoil him. You have to let him learn in order to achieve great things... Let's do this. Don't let him continue to idle in the backyard. Let's go to the front yard.
, I will find him the best scholars to teach him..."
When Wei heard this, she was very happy.
She hurriedly bowed before the prince, her excited voice distorted, "How dare you, the son of a domestic slave, enter school?"
"It's okay, it's not a serious thing to hang around in the backyard all the time. It's better to read some books and know some etiquette.
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Highness!!"
Wei Lao pushed Wei Wenjun again, but Wei Wenjun felt dizzy and also saluted.
Soon, the prince left here, Wei Wenjun timidly followed him, his eyes were full of confusion, Liu An looked at this boy, no matter how he looked, he looked like a woman and a deceitful villain.
, it’s extremely unpleasant. What my father said is indeed true. She behaves like a woman and a thief at such a young age. She needs to be disciplined!!
The two came to the front yard. Liu An looked around and suddenly laughed.
"Tayu!! Come here!"
Holding the article in his hand, he put away the article in front of the angry scribes who were scolding him from the left and right, walked up to Liu An, and bowed before him.
Liu An is known as the three thousand disciples, among whom Su Fei, Li Shang, Zuo Wu, Tian You, Lei Fei, Wu Bi, Mao Fei, Jinchang and others are the eight most talented and learned, and they are all the most outstanding among the three thousand disciples.
, people at that time were called the Eight Princes of the Sect, and among these eight kilometers, Tian You had the most violent temper. He could not get along with the other seven people. He was not very polite to Liu An. He dared to loudly refute Liu An and reprimand him for writing articles. He also
One of the main revisers of Honglie of the Han Dynasty.
"Don't you have a disciple yet? This kid's name is Wei Wenjun. Let him be your disciple. I promise you to teach him well and not to indulge him just because he is young! When I was at his age, I had already started to read
It’s a history book, but he doesn’t know how to read yet, so you teach him according to the strictest standards!!”
Tian Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at the young boy beside him, and suddenly sneered, "Your Highness, I don't know how to take care of a child."
"No need to take care of him, his mother is in the backyard, you can just teach him.
"My knowledge, I'm afraid
This is what a boy like this can inherit!" "Teach him carefully and see how much he can learn...
Liu An had said so, and Tian You couldn't continue to object, so he just nodded, "I understand.
Wei Wenjun stayed with the teacher, and the prince left with a smile and a good mood.
Wei Wenjun timidly sat in front of the teacher and looked at him secretly. Tian You was furious, "How can a man spy on you privately? If you want to look, just raise your head and look at it openly! Don't look like a thief!"
"only!!"
Wei Wenjun was so frightened that his voice changed. Tian You then picked up the book and said, "I will teach you a hundred words today. You must learn it today. If you can't write it tomorrow... Haha... you will suffer."
!I don’t care what your status is, even if you are His Highness’s illegitimate son, I will still beat you!” Wei Wenjun frowned and said loudly: “My father is the guard infant of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
Illegitimate!"
Just because you don't know how to write, you burst into laughter. Yes, you are quite brave. Because Wei Wenjun can't read, Tian You's initial teaching must start with enlightenment, and he is indeed what he said.
, very strict. While explaining the words, a lot of complicated knowledge must be added. Wei Wenjun said that he was confused. After studying for a long time, he just learned a lot, but he didn't learn much.
At night, when Wei Wenjun came home, Wei Wei stood at the door waiting for him. When she saw him coming back, Wei Wei was particularly excited and pulled him into the house.
"How's it going? Have you learned it yet?"
Wei Wenjun stretched out his hand pitifully, "Mom... that teacher beat me... and said that if I can't recite what I learned today, he will beat me tomorrow...
After hearing his words, Wei Wei was not angry, but overjoyed.
"Okay! Great! We are going to have a scholar in our family!! Our family...
Wei Wei was so excited that she almost cried, but Wei Wenjun asked: "Mom... do you think it was because I talked to the princess that the prince deliberately wanted to harm me and asked that person to beat me...
Bullying me..." "Fart!"
"What kind of person is Your Highness the Crown Prince? How can he target you? What a kindness it is to let you study. To be strict with you is to temper you. If you endure more hardships now, you will achieve great achievements in the future. Wenjun... you know
The situation at home, this is your only chance, study hard, okay? Don't offend your teacher, study hard with him, my mother has never begged you, I just beg you this once, study hard, you are not
Are you saying that you want to support me? If I study well, I will be able to live a wealthy life in the future, and I will not have to endure hardship anymore. The same is true for your sisters... For us, you must study hard.
, okay?」
The young Wei Wenjun could not understand what his mother was thinking at the moment. He wiped away his tears and nodded firmly, "I will definitely let you enjoy it!"
from this day on
From then on, Wei Wenjun began his life of studying, or in other words, his life 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 did not learn enough, and the teacher's words became more and more severe.
Tian Yu looked at the article in his hand, "How can you make twenty-seven mistakes in one hundred words?! Is this the result of your study?! If you can't learn, go back to your backyard!! Don't waste my time!"
!」
Wei Wenjun hurriedly saluted, "Teacher, please don't drive me away... I will study hard, I can't leave..."
"Why can't you leave!"
"I want to study hard and let my mother live a good life...I promised her that I would make her happy.
Tian You was silent for a moment, and then he scolded disdainfully: "Idiot, go copy it three more times! Go back and tell your mother later that you will stay with me tonight. I have too many things to do during the day, so I will teach you some skills at night.
..""only."
Wei Wenjun sat respectfully in front of Tian You, lowered his head and started writing, not daring to neglect at all.
Although Tayu was still cursing, his eyes became much softer.
"What?! Already finished the first chapter of Enlightenment?? How can it be so fast??"
Liu An's eyes widened and he was speechless listening to Tian You's report.
Tian You said proudly: "Although this guy is stupid, but he has a teacher like me, how can he 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 faintly, "Why haven't I noticed that you are so good at teaching disciples?"

"The main reason is that this guy is very diligent, unlike those nobles who study hard day and night. Although he has no talent, his hard work can make up for his weakness. That's the truth."
Liu An nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "How can a man only study literature?
"What has Mr. Zhang been busy with lately?"
"He has just returned home... Your Highness is planning to let him practice martial arts with Mr. 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... I remember that your swordsmanship is also good. You can let him practice swordsmanship first and endure hardships. Don't develop a timid character.
I still need to work harder..." "I understand."
"Your Highness, I just don't understand why you are so interested in the son of a domestic slave?"
"Aren't you afraid that he will go astray... No need to ask more." "Yui!!"
"Call me big sister! Call me big sister!"
Liu Yao held the little guy in her arms and teased him with a smile.
Tiying said helplessly: "You should be called aunt...how can you call me eldest sister.
Xiao Liu Qian didn't know this, he just grinned stupidly.
Liu Yao suddenly became even more excited, "Sister, look at him, I feel like I am hugging my father!"
"I'm not that much older than him, so calling me aunt doesn't make me look older?"
Tiying smiled bitterly, and Liu Yao asked again: "Where is my eldest brother?" "I went to Taixue, and I said I wanted my father to be a sacrificial wine or something..." Liu Yao was a little tired, so he handed the child to Ti again.
Ying, "Then I'll come see you another day...Sister, you come to Changle Palace to see me sometimes. I'm always in Changle Palace now and won't go back to Weiyang Palace...My mother always scolds me...
"Hey, don't make grandma angry all the time."
Liu Yao jumped out of the inner room, but did not rush back. She started looking for her in the backyard. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find anyone, so she went to the front yard again. There were many people in the front yard, and everyone knew her.
They all bowed to each other, but Liu Yao didn't return the greeting. She kept searching around, and suddenly, she found it!
Wei Wenjun was reciting the text when he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw Liu Yao in the distance.
At that moment, Wei Wenjun was shocked and turned around to run away, remembering his mother's teachings.
"Stop!"
Liu Yao hurriedly chased after him, but Wei Wenjun did not obey this time.
He kept running. Obviously, he couldn't outrun Liu Yao. As soon as he ran for a while, he was knocked down by Liu Yao like a hungry wolf. The ancestral moves were exactly the same. The two maids responsible for taking care of the princess both
She was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward to help the princess up so that she could not ride directly on the man's back. Liu Yao was very angry and grabbed Wei Wenjun's hand tightly, gasping for air, "You actually saw me.
You dare to run?? Ah? What kind of person do you think I am?"
"The princess is the most respected person in the world, and servants dare not be rude." Wei Wenjun lay down on his stomach, and then maintained his salute, motionless.
Liu Yao stood in front of him with her hands on her hips, "No one in Chang'an 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 and his eyes were filled with fear, "Princess, please forgive me! I don't like food..."
Liu Yao laughed so hard that she turned forward and backward.
"Get up and play with me for a while. Can you play bamboo horses?" "I can't..."
"I can teach you!!"
When Liu An came back, he saw the two of them playing happily in the front yard. Liu An narrowed his eyes again. The next day, in addition to Tian You, Wei Wenjun also had several masters and husbands.
, Zhang Fu came to teach him swordsmanship and hone his martial arts.
In the Taiwei's mansion, Liu Yao excitedly told her goat father about the interesting child.
"Father, you don't know. He is so stupid that he can't even play games. He always loses to me. Hahaha, he is clumsy and always gets hurt... I have never seen such a stupid person.
But he is still very nice. When I give him food, he keeps it for 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. I
The eldest brother seems to like him quite a bit. When he sees him, he always squints his eyes and smiles... "Oh..."
Han Xin squinted his eyes with a smile on his face.
In the spring of that year, the general Qing came out of the Ba Kingdom and joined the Xia king's cavalry. They defeated Anxi and beheaded more than 40,000 people.
The senior generals wrote letters praising Jiejie, and Taiwei Yafu expressed his merits, but Qing refused and said, "I would like to ask for the title for my brother.
