Chapter 336: Uncle Yuefan, do you still remember
Although Kaiyang is the second to last among the seven children, it is rare to see him cry. The child is very skinny, and it hurts no matter how much he falls or bumps. Can hold back from crying.
But recently, golden beans have been falling for several days in a row.
The child threw herself into Hong Xiaoduo's arms. She didn't ask why you came back or why you were here. She just buried her little face in her arms and cried, leaving Hong who didn't know what happened. Xiaoduo cried so hard that her heart ached.
He reached out and picked up the child, without rushing to coax him or asking him what was going on.
Anyway, it was definitely not the people from the Wei family who treated him badly.
"It's really you, I thought the footman was there." Wei Junpei, who followed his grandson out of the carriage and almost fell in a panic, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hong Xiaoduo.
I was distracted in the carriage and didn't hear clearly. I just thought the female voice calling Kaiyang was familiar.
At this time, Mu Rongjing also got off the carriage.
Although this street is wide enough, it is still not appropriate for two carriages to be parked in opposite directions.
"Let's sit in the teahouse." Mu Rongjing raised his head and looked at the teahouse a few meters away and suggested.
Wei Junpei naturally had no objection. He motioned to the coachman and his entourage to find a place to park, and followed him to the teahouse.
Of course he was curious, why did Hong Xiaoduo, who had obviously left the capital, suddenly appear here? And, still with the son of Marquis Fu'an?
The key is, why are the two of them on this street?
"Kaiyang, come down and walk by yourself. How old are you? Your mother is so tired." Looking at his grandson who had stopped crying and buried his face in Hong Xiaoduo's shoulder armor, Wei Junpei said in a low voice. .
The grandson is very well-behaved and should be obedient. However, Kaiyang did not come down. Instead, his arms hugged Hong Xiaoduo tighter.
Hong Xiaoduo held Kaiyang in one hand and patted the child's back gently with the other. He turned to Master Wei and said, "It doesn't matter, just one little bean sprout, it won't sink."
Open At the teahouse near the Criminal Department, the waiter recognized Mu Shizi and Mr. Wei. When they were invited into the teahouse, they didn't even need to give special instructions. They were taken directly to the private room on the second floor, the best one.
The so-called best does not only mean that the interior is luxurious and high-end, but that the room is separate, easy to talk and very quiet.
After entering the house, Hong Xiaoduo sat down with the child in his arms, without letting the child come down, and looked at Mr. Wei who was sitting down.
"I didn't abuse him. I was thinking about whether I could let him enter Qishan Academy. I finally made an appointment with Tan Jijiu, but it turned out that Kaiyang couldn't enter the academy because of his qualifications. Alas, it was my lack of consideration that made Kaiyang suffer. I'm wronged." Mr. Wei quickly explained when he faced Hong Xiaoduo's gaze.
After explaining, Mr. Wei also felt inexplicable. Why was he so guilty in front of this girl?
"Is Qishan Academy good?" Hong Xiaoduo vaguely remembered who mentioned it, but she had no memory of the details.
"It is considered the best academy in Fengliang Kingdom. Whether it is the emperor's relatives or the sons of officials, they have to pass several exams and select the ones with the best scores before they can enter." Mu Rongjing said in Answered from the side.
So that’s what happened. Hong Xiaoduo understood what was going on. He thought about it and said softly to the child in his arms: "This is the best academy, and the requirements for accepting students are naturally strict. The seven of you are I am smart and eager to learn, but my time to study is too short
It doesn't matter if you can't get into it. It's not just that you have the most potential if you get into that academy. "
After Kaiyang heard this, he said in a muffled voice: "I know this, but the Jiujiu said that he heard that I had been a beggar before and had been studying and practicing calligraphy for less than a year. He took the exam. They didn't even test me. "
Hong Xiaoduo understands where the child's grievances come from. At least the sacrificial wine will test him, poems, and look at the words written by the child. Even if it doesn't work, the child can accept it.
" Xiaoduo, after we left Qishan Academy, we met Feng Jijiu from Yungu Academy. He learned that I was looking for an academy for Kaiyang and immediately said that he could go to him. He also said that Kaiyang looked like a smart kid. "Wei Junpei remembered and told him.
Hong Xiaoduo looked at Mu Rongjing, who immediately smiled: "Yungu Academy is actually not worse than Qishan Academy, but Qishan Academy was founded after five dynasties. He has won many national pillars and famous poets.
However, Yungu Academy was only founded twenty years ago and is not as famous as Qishan.
Furthermore, the admission source of Yungu Academy is also different from that of Qishan. Anyone who wants to study seriously and has good character will be accepted. "
"It sounds like this Yungu Academy is very good. Kaiyang, don't worry about the problem of Qishan Academy not accepting your wine. No matter how good and smart you are, we still have time to study. After all, it’s short, so we’ll suffer no matter what the test.
Moreover, the reason why we go to the academy is to make ourselves better and more knowledgeable, not for their fame.
Don’t think about other irrelevant things. Why do you have to think about these things? Do you remember what I once told you? "Hong Xiaoduo asked softly, holding the tear-stained child in her arms.
Kaiyang thought about it very seriously and nodded: "Remember, you said, don't think about meaningless questions, it will make you mentally exhausted, tired, lost, anxious, and will wear you out over time. It's useless.
Mom, Kaiyang is confused, Kaiyang will never be like this again." At this point, Kaiyang's eyes lit up and he wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves.
"Well, that's right." Seeing that the child had really figured it out, Hong Xiaoduo took out the handkerchief with confidence and wiped the child's face again.
The short conversation between one boy and one boy shocked Wei Junpei and Mu Rongjing. Although the mental internal friction that Kaiyang just mentioned is an unfamiliar word to them, they can understand it after thinking about it for a while.
She didn't say anything just now. It would be Qishan Academy's loss if she didn't accept Kaiyang. She didn't say that she should make Kaiyang study harder and make Tan Jijiu regret it in the future. She didn't say that she should study hard to get ahead and gain reputation.
Wei Junpei suddenly felt that at his age, he was too narrow-minded!
He even had an idea whether it would be most appropriate to let Kaiyang continue to follow her or let her teach him.
"Mom, why are you here?" Kaiyang, who felt relieved and thought about serious things, asked.
Mu Rongjing stretched out her hand to help Mr. Wei drink tea, and raised his ears to listen, wanting to hear how she would explain to Kaiyang.
"Uncle Yuefan, do you still remember?" Hong Xiaoduo asked Kaiyang first.
"Remember, Uncle Dong Yuefan from Mopan Town has returned to the capital? So is my mother coming to see him?" Kaiyang asked happily.
If Uncle Yuefan returns to the capital, he will have another familiar person in this strange place.
"There was a case in which he was framed and is now in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. I heard the news after I left the city and came back." Hong Xiaoduo felt that he could tell Kaiyang about this matter.
The person surnamed Dong is in prison in the Ministry of Punishment? These two keywords made Wei Junpei's eyes immediately widen and he looked at Mu Rongjing: "Could it be Prime Minister Dong's youngest son?"
Mu Rongjing suppressed a smile and nodded. As expected, Mr. Wei couldn't believe it when he heard it.
"Xiaoduo, do you know that useless person from Dong Xiang's family?" Wei Junpei wanted to confirm again.
From the few words just mentioned, it is not difficult to tell that Hong Xiaoduo and his grandson not only know each other, but also have a close relationship with Dong Xiang's unimproved young son. His grandson calls that boy uncle!
"Well, when I took the seven of them to Mopan Town, I met someone I knew." Hong Xiaoduo briefly introduced the scene at that time.
"Grandpa, Uncle Yuefan treated us well. He didn't dislike us and even took us to eat delicious food. When we left, he gave my mother a lot of money, saying that my mother had taken us seven years ago. It’s not easy.” Kaiyang remembers it clearly.
"Yes, there are gold leaves and gold ingots." Hong Xiaoduo could tell from Master Wei's reaction that Uncle Wei didn't have a very good impression of Brother Dong.
"The boy did this to you, could he be doing this to you?" Mr. Wei looked at Hong Xiaoduo and blurted out, but in the end he swallowed back the words "malicious intentions".
Hong Xiaoduo smiled and shook his head: "No, the Brother Dong we met is straightforward and candid."
"His case is different from Nie Qing's. It's difficult. That old guy, Mr. Dong, has been asking for help everywhere lately, hey." Master Wei sighed when he said this.
When Kaiyang heard this, his little face immediately became nervous.
"The person who was wrongly accused has now found the real culprit. It won't be long before he is released without charge." Hong Xiaoduo quickly told Kaiyang.
Hong Xiaoduo is the most trusted person in Kaiyang, so she said that Uncle Yuefan will be fine and will come out soon, so he will definitely come out soon.
"Grandpa, Kaiyang wants to visit Uncle Yuefan, is that okay?" Kaiyang turned around and asked.
The child looked at him expectantly, with tears still on his eyelashes. How could Wei Junpei have the courage to say no?
In the prison cell of the Ministry of Punishment, Dong Xiang finally saw his youngest son. He looked at his sleepy-eyed son through the fence. He felt sorry for his son at first, but his sad mood disappeared immediately. He whispered that he hated the iron that cannot be transformed into steel. He scolded: "My father has long told me not to hang out with those incompetent people. Now that trouble has arisen, you still don't have any regrets at all?"
Dong Yuefan was very excited and moved when he saw his father and second brother. Seeing his father haggard and old because of his own affairs, he felt very guilty and guilty in his heart. When he heard his father's scolding, he didn't feel as conflicted as before. .
"Father, it's your son's failure that makes you worry. Your son is unfilial." Dong Yuefan gave a guilty salute to his father.
Seeing his son like this, Dong Xiang sighed. After all, he was the son of his own son. No matter how disappointing he was, he was still his son, and he felt distressed.
"The matter has come to this. My father and your brothers have been thinking of ways. Don't be discouraged. However, if this incident can pass safely, my father will send you to the Northwest Army in the future. Let's practice." Prime Minister Dong is not good at comforting either.
"Sixth brother, don't think that your father misses you. You didn't see it in prison. We are looking for people everywhere for your sake, but they are all avoiding us if we are good friends with our family on weekdays. Others in turn advised their fathers not to ruin their reputations because of you.
Sixth brother, you are all fair-weather friends. We are the only people in the world who really wish you well. After what happened this time, you must wake up. "Dong Yuejie also seized the opportunity and persuaded him with sincerity.
Dong Yuefan naturally didn't agree with his second brother's words, but he couldn't bear the thought of his father and family having to eat and sleep poorly for his own sake. Refuted.
At this time, hearing the movement of someone coming this way, Dong Xiang and his son looked over there and saw someone carrying a food box walking this way, wondering which prisoner it was. The family members came to visit.
Who would have thought that the government officials would bring people to them?
Huh? Wei Junpei, Wei Shangshu?
"Uncle Yuefan?" Dong Xiang and his second son were still confused. Wei Shangshu brought a child to see someone, and heard the child calling his uncle affectionately to Lao Liu on the fence...
