Chapter 4 Qin Meng Leaves Beijing

What does the princess get married? If you ask Wei Chi, he will tell you to join in the fun and gain knowledge. We are a modern person, and we have never seen what a princess wedding looks like in ancient times. It is rare that a princess I know got married. Of course, I have to go and see it. Xie Jiu didn’t like the fun and would rather stay with the children at home. But Princess Yuzhang asked someone to tell Xie Jiu to go. If she couldn’t help, Xie Jiu had to come to the wedding.

"Aren't you going to watch the fun? You just go and see it, I'll sit here."

After being welcomed into the princess's mansion, Xie Jiu rolled his eyes to Wei Chi. Wei Chi rolled his eyes and said, "I am not a child, and I like to run around. The so-called knowledge is either to watch everywhere or to make a look at the story. Just see what others do. When it's our Lin'er's turn in the future, we will follow the example."

Isn’t it too early to think about this issue now?

Xie Jiu frowned and smiled at someone who was looking at the decorations of others. He leaned against him silently, sat down with a teacup, and drank tea quietly. Wei Chi looked at it for a while, and felt that there was not much difference. He withdrew his gaze and flirted with something from his pocket, but it was a paper fan, opening it like a treasure. While slapping the Taizu, he was proud: "Did you see this fan? I have painted this fan by Yan Lide, and there is another heirloom of the family treasure."

"You, don't talk about you."

Wei Chi smiled meaningfully and said, "Of course, you are enjoying my service now. The so-called "soft-eating people and having weak mouths and short-handed people, right?"

Xie Jiu was angry and secretly reached out and pinched him. The two were having fun, and a group of acquaintances came in. It was Qin Meng, Cheng Ming, and Gao Luxing. These people knew Tang Shanshi and always had to join in the fun.

When Xie Jiu saw a group of men coming, he whispered to Wei Chi's ear and said, "I'll go in and see the princess."

"Ok!"

After Xie Jiu left, Wei Chi came over to the crowd of men and had a chat with Qin Meng and the others. As he was talking about Princess Yuzhang's wedding, Qin Meng was about to go to another place to take up a job, and the Fang brothers came over. Fang Yizhe was always taciturn and didn't like to be with Qin Meng and the others. Fang Yiai, the second son of the Fang family, came over with laughter, and his words and deeds were much more pleasing than before.

Cheng Ming said without any restraint and said, "Fang Yiai, why haven't you seen you visit the brothel and Liuxiang, and you have not seen you come out to drink and listen to music? Why? Is your old man confined to you?"

Fang Yiai smiled bitterly and said straightforwardly: "No. It's the princess who doesn't allow me to go."

"You kid is so obedient?" Cheng Mingda was surprised. Fang Yiai said with a bitter face: "It's okay to be disobedient. The princess said that if I go again, I will complain to Your Majesty and say that I will punish me to be a monk."

Everyone laughed muffled, with strange expressions. Fang Yiai smiled bitterly, but she didn't look unhappy. It seemed that she was being controlled and had no temper. This made everyone laugh again. Wei Chi also laughed, but she felt a wonderful feeling in her heart. Thinking of the old man Fang Xuanling who was both upright and cunning, she felt a wonderful sense of comfort in her heart.

Gao Luxing smiled strangely and said, "Okay, Fang Yiai is controlled, and Ziyue has another companion."

“What I said is, what I said is.”

Everyone laughed, and Wei Chi was not angry, and said with a smile: "What do you know? There is a saying that husband and wife are united and they are good at cutting off gold. We call the whole family working hard and working together, which is conducive to unity and progress. Do you know? With a wife at home, plus a concubine, a maid, etc., each one has a thought, it would be fine if the wife can't control her. If the wife can't suppress her, hehe, wait for the good show of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period at home!"

Everyone thought about it, and when they thought about their own chaos, they felt a little bored. Wei Chi smiled at the house, turned to the topic, and went to the prefecture where Qin Meng was going to work, and talked about his personal idle position.

Talked and laughed, and when Xie Jiu came out, he had a banquet, they left and went home. When he got home, Wei Chi remembered what gift he had given to Princess Yuzhang. Xie Jiu said, "I asked someone to make ginkgo tea and a daily diet menu for patients with cardiovascular disease, as well as a number of children's toys, and the others were the same as others."

Wei Chi was surprised: "You can make ginkgo leaf tea?"

Xie Jiu said: "My grandfather has high blood pressure. The doctor at home has done it for him, and I have also helped him."

Princess Yuzhang's wedding was really lively in the capital for a few days, but the palace felt deserted. In the past, there were princesses living in each palace. As the princesses grew up, they got married one by one, moved out of the palace, and moved into the princess's mansion. The originally lively palace will never come back.

His Majesty Li Er had already returned to the palace. Wei Chi went into the palace to check his health. His Majesty Li Er was walking in the Imperial Garden, following Gao Yang, Yizi, Xincheng, Li Zhi and other children who were still living in the palace.

The eunuch led Wei Chi directly to the Imperial Garden. When His Majesty Li Er was very happy to see Wei Chi coming, he asked him to enjoy the flowers together. Along the way, he pointed to the scenery and flowers in the garden from time to time, and told which princess or princes, which flowers they like the most, and what scenery they liked. When talking about the interesting things about their children when they were young, he raised his head and laughed happily.

His Majesty Li Er said: "This is Yuzhang's favorite flower. When it comes to the flowering period, she likes to visit this garden the most. She never picks it. She says that flowers are the most beautiful on the branches. She will die after picking them, without any beauty. The little girl's thoughts. When I built her princess's mansion for her, she asked the craftsmen to plant a large piece in the garden."

Wei Chi smiled and said, "Princess Yuzhang must be very happy when she saw it."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Yes, Yu Zhang was very happy to see it. He came to the palace to thank me."

Wei Chi followed him and laughed. Looking at His Majesty Li Er's appearance, he felt a little sad. When he thought of his father, he would only say what he should do, and he looked very strict, and seemed to be indifferent. However, when he occasionally went back, the food on the table was his favorite. When he occasionally talked to others, he would hear from others that his father knew him far more than he thought, and he cared much more about him than he thought. However, his father didn't like to talk, nor would he say it. Perhaps many Chinese fathers did this, and did much more than he said, and seemed to be stingy with the words of love, and would rather do it than say it.

Thinking of his father's virtue, Wei Chi looked at His Majesty Li Er at this moment and thought in his heart that His Majesty Li Er, who is the emperor of the age, also had a virtue. When these princesses were not married, they might be afraid that he would respect him more than they would respect him. Only a few who could get close to him could know his kind father's tenderness.

After walking for a while, he walked to a pavilion. There was a big tree beside the pavilion, with lush branches and leaves, just blocking the sunlight of the hot summer. His Majesty Li Er said: "Go into the pavilion and sit."

After entering the pavilion, Wei Chi had the opportunity to check His Majesty Li Er's health. Fortunately, His Majesty Li Er often exercises bow, horse, riding and shooting, and is strong and has a strong figure than Wei Chi, which makes Wei Chi feel inferior. Although he fell ill this time, he recovered well and looked good. It seems that Empress Changsun’s supervision measures are good.

After the inspection, His Majesty Li Er got up again and continued to visit. Xincheng was young and had already walked for a while. His little face was pitiful. Wei Chi picked her up and followed her. Although the little face was so hot that it was pink, he was still energetic. With Li Zhi and Gao Yang, the three of them walked along the way and played.

As I walked, I saw someone painting under a pavilion from a distance. When I got closer, I saw a little loli in her teens. What is more outrageous is that the little loli was dressed as a talented person. Wei Chi looked carefully and remembered that it was the little loli I saw in the Lizheng Hall that day and served by His Majesty Li Er.

"I will meet your Majesty."

When the little loli saw someone coming, she put down her pen with a calm face and bowed her hand in a steady and calm manner. She was not as lively as a teenage girl. Her clear eyes were dark and deep, and a trace of wisdom flashed faintly, and her eyebrows were filled with wisdom and charming.

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Xu Hui, haven't studied today, have you come out to paint?"

Xu Hui?!

Wei Chi is so embarrassed! It is actually Xu Hui! By the way, he thought it was Wu Meiniang. He secretly looked up and looked at it. Indeed, although this little loli was not open yet, he had a pretty appearance and elegant temperament, and he felt calm in every move. Wu Meiniang was chosen by His Majesty Li Er to enter the palace because of her handsome appearance. Even if there are differences in aesthetics in ancient and modern times, Xu Hui's current appearance can only be said to be cute, and it is really not a bit handsome.

In fact, what Wei Chi is more curious about is His Majesty Li Er's psychological activities. He chose the teenage loli to the palace as a talented person. Is this a loli growing up? Otherwise, a teenage girl with a body flatter than a washboard, and His Majesty Li Er can actually do it. It's really... Forget it, we won't guess what the ancients think.

Wei Chi stood silently beside him and thoughtful, and the Princess Xincheng in her arms was already asleep. Princess Gaoyang looked at Xu Hui with a slanted look, stepped forward and hugged His Majesty Li Er's arm, and said softly: "Father, the sister of Xincheng is already asleep. Can you please ask someone to send it back? Let Erchen and Sister of Weizi and Sister of Xincheng go to the garden together, okay?"

His Majesty Li Er raised his head and said, "Okay, I want you to accompany me to watch Xu Hui's paintings here. You can't stand your character. Go and go."

Gao Yang said again: "Father, can you go with Lord Wei?"

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Okay, okay, go and go."

Wei Chiru received a general amnesty and handed over the princess of Xincheng to the female official to take him back. He quickly led a group of ghosts away, which was really panicked.

A few days later, Qin Meng's term of office came. He was the governor of Yuezhou, located in Jiangnan Road, Xie Jiu's hometown. Although Jiangnan Road was not as rich as later generations, it was a good place and was regarded as His Majesty Li Er's favor to the Qin family. Qin Meng left Beijing, and the Wei Mansion was a major event, and it was necessary to handle it well. Wei Chi specially brought his wife and children to have a farewell banquet together.

At the banquet, the adopted mother's expression was a little distracted and she was not very interested. Qin Meng grew up with her since she was a child. In the past, when the old man was fighting outside, she was the only woman in charge of the Qin Mansion. She could be said to have raised the two children by herself. Now she would not feel good if she wants to stay away.

Xie Jiu and the Qin family's sister-in-law were around the old man, and warmly comforted him. Wei Chi sat next to the old man, Qin Wei, Qin Meng, and even Qin Zonghan called him. A few of them set up a table of wine, and a plate of soybeans were placed on the table, drinking and chatting. He listened to the old man talking about his experience as an official and listened to him explaining some principles and things that Qin Meng had to control after going to Yuezhou.

These are all valuable experiences and the harvest of the old man's hard work throughout his life. Qin Meng lowered his head and listened carefully. Qin Wei and Wei Chi were silent on their faces. Qin Zonghan, the little devil, may not be old or experienced, and could not understand the old man's mood and good intentions. He was a little distracted. He was slapped in the head by his father, and was beaten honestly. He sat obediently, pricked up his ears and listened, regardless of whether he understood or not, listened first.

The old man said, "The second brother goes to Yuezhou and do his own things. He should not reach out and control himself. Our old Qin family now has nothing to do. As long as you brothers are good, don't be greedy. Since ancient times, many disasters have all caused the word greed. It should be ours, hold it tightly in his hands, and no one can take it away. It should not be ours, and you won't take it for a while. Remember?"

"Remember, father." Qin Meng nodded obediently and listened.

The old man said a lot of things that should be taboo. After that, he drank a bowl of wine and looked at Wei Chi, and suddenly said, "Hou Junji fought a victory in Gaochang and will come to Beijing to offer prisoners soon."

With Hou Junji's military talent, Wei Chi was not surprised. In real history, Gaochang Kingdom was originally captured by him. Wei Chi said: "Your Majesty is accurate in employed people. When Hou Junji went to war, the child expected it."

The old man touched his beard and said, "The Censorate has studied his book. When he attacked Gaochang, he instigated his subordinates to loot and bribe the money and property, and the number is quite large."

Wei Chi said in a frustrated manner: "With Your Majesty's character and Hou Junji's daily contribution, I'm afraid he won't hurt his life and there is nothing to look forward to."

The old man smiled mysteriously and patted Wei Chi's head, not asking whether Wei Chi's words were right. Wei Chi's heart moved and asked quickly: "Does the adoptive father have any other arrangements?"

The old man slapped him in the head and smiled and said, "Drinking your wine first, the slippery guy, drinking with my dad is still slick. Or you can drink it quickly, otherwise you will be punished to drink a jar."
