Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

The next day.

Wei Yuan asked Gu Tingye to come to Guanjun Houfu, and the two had another competition.

As expected, Gu Tingye lost again, and the skin injuries he suffered this time were far more serious than the last time.

While Wei Yuan was beating Gu Tingye, Jing Jieer, who was sitting next to Zhang Guifen, kept pointing at Gu Tingye and said with a smile:

"Mother, I have seen him, why is he being beaten again?"

Zhang Guifen smiled and said: "He, of course he has to be beaten because he offended your sister Minglan."

Jing Jieer said thoughtfully: "Sister Minglan cried so sadly yesterday, was it him who caused it?"

Zhang Guifen nodded.

Jing Jie'er, who was originally quiet, suddenly stood up angrily after seeing her mother's response, and shouted to Wei Yuan:

"Daddy, beat him! Beat him hard!"

Wei Yuan responded seriously: "Okay, Jing Jie'er, watch and see how your father beats him!"

Gu Tingye has been in a passive situation of being beaten.

Until a cup of tea, Gu Tingye, who had been beaten like a pig, finally couldn't stand it anymore and begged for mercy.

On hearing this, Wei Yuan stopped.

He took the sweat towel sent by Baozhu, wiped the tiny beads of sweat on his face, walked slowly to Zhang Guifen and Jing Jie'er, picked up the tea that Zhang Guifen had not finished drinking, drank it all, and said:

"I haven't used force for a long time, but I feel a little unfamiliar."

Gu Tingye, who didn't have a piece of good meat on his body, was immediately shocked when he heard this "tiger and wolf words".

Is it still a little unfamiliar?

If I wasn't unfamiliar, would I really beat myself to death?

"Lord Wei, Madam, listen to my explanation. What I said when I went to find Minglan yesterday was not the truth. I just... I..."

Gu Tingye endured the pain in his body and explained to the two.

Jing Jie snorted and said, "My sister Minglan is so good. You made her angry. It must be your fault."

Gu Tingye said, "Jing Jie, have you forgotten? I brought you a gift when I came to your house last time."

Jing Jie said, "I don't want the gift. You take it back."

Gu Tingye said, "I was wrong, Jing Jie. I will never bully your sister Minglan again, okay?"

In this way, Jing Jie calmed down.

As he was talking, Wei Yuan asked the servant to bring something, which was the emperor's handwritten letter. He handed it to Gu Tingye and said earnestly:

"The day after tomorrow, you will get up and go to the camp in the capital. As for the imperial edict, you have to wait a little longer."

Gu Tingye took the handwritten letter with both hands and bowed, saying: "Thank you, Marquis Wei."

Wei Yuan nodded and looked at Zhang Guifen, "I have to go to the palace. Today, officials from the six ministries will discuss reforms with the emperor."

After that, he said to Gu Tingye again with earnest words:

"If I hear that Ming girl has been wronged by you again in the future, it will not be as simple as beating you up."

Gu Tingye was startled and bowed quickly, saying: "My Lord, I understand."

Wei Yuan ignored him and put on his official uniform and left with Baozhu's help.

Gu Tingye stayed here.

Zhang Guifen took Jingjie'er's hand and slowly said:

"We had a good relationship when we were young. I know what kind of person you are, but I know what kind of person Ming is even better."

"You used to be domineering, but don't use your way to treat Mingjie."

"Mingjie is not a domineering person, but her uncle and I will never sit idly by and watch her being wronged."

Gu Tingye bowed deeply again.

At this moment, Chang Ge'er came and waved to Jingjie'er, saying:

"Jingjie'er, I'm going to study."

Jingjie'er nodded, "Mother, I'm going."

Gu Tingye also said goodbye, "Madam, I'll leave for the time being."

--

The place where Chang Ge'er taught Jingjie'er and Zhuang Ge'er to study was in Chunyi Pavilion.

Because Chang Ge'er was so "impartial", when he heard his younger brothers and sisters read the wrong words or skipped classes, the board would fall on the hands of the two of them.

Therefore, whenever Chang Ge'er was reading, Zhang Guifen would sit not far away and accompany him.

If Chang Ge'er wanted to punish Zhuang Ge'er and Jing Jie'er, Zhang Guifen would appear and plead for mercy.

Even so, the two children were often punished by Chang Ge'er.

So much so that Jing Jie'er and Zhuang Ge'er, the two little guys, would feel a kind of fear in their hearts when they saw Chang Ge'er now.

Therefore, Zhang Guifen often complained to Wei Yuan,

"Chang Ge'er is too serious in teaching the children to read. If they read a word wrong, they will be beaten with a stick. When I was enlightened, the teacher was not so strict."

Wei Yuan said: "If we ask a great scholar to enlighten the children, it is fine, but who among the great scholars of the world dares to treat Zhuang Ge'er and Jing Jie'er harshly?"

"I let Chang Ge'er enlighten them because Chang Ge'er is our nephew. We will not dare to treat the children harshly because of our status and position."

So, Zhang Guifen never complained to Wei Yuan about such things again.

Chang Ge'er also started teaching his children the Three Character Classic.

Two days ago, he assigned homework to the two children, asking them to recite the first 200 words of the Three Character Classic.

Wei Yuan was always very strict with Zhuang Ge'er, after all, Zhuang Ge'er would have a great responsibility in the future, so Zhuang Ge'er did not dare to fall behind in homework.

If he did not complete his homework, his cousin's punishment would be secondary, because he was afraid that Wei Yuan would beat him after knowing it.

By then, Zhang Guifen would not be able to stop him.

Therefore, Brother Zhuang was very serious when he was studying and immediately recited the first 200 words of the Three Character Classic.

But when it was Sister Jing's turn, she could only memorize the first ninety words.

At the back, it was a little more difficult.

Brother Chang listened and couldn't help but frown and said: "Sister Jing, have you been slacking off these past two days?"

Sister Jing curled her little lips in grievance and said, "Brother Chang, my mother has been teaching me flower arrangement recently. It's both flower arrangement and endorsement. It's too difficult."

Brother Chang shook his head, "No excuses allowed."

Sister Jing had no choice but to stretch out her white and tender hands and look at Brother Chang with a pleading look.

"Good brother, hit him lightly"

Brother Chang looked at Sister Jing's pitiful expression, suddenly frowned and said:

"Sister Jing, you must always remember your identity. You are the eldest daughter of the Champion House, the elder sister of Strong Brother, and the daughter of a general. You must not be so delicate and pretentious."

Sister Jing sighed, "If the student realizes his mistake, please ask the teacher to punish him."

Brother Chang said 'hmm', raised the ruler high, and with a 'pop' sound, it landed on Sister Jing's hand.

The small hands that were originally white and tender have now turned red.

Sister Jing gritted her teeth, tears swirling in her eyes.

Brother Chang perhaps couldn't bear it anymore. He originally wanted to hit him three times, but he only hit him twice and said:

"This is your first offense, but you will be exempted from the third offense."

Although it was only two blows, the palms of Sister Jing's hands, which had been pampered since childhood, were already red and swollen.

Although Zhang Guifen treats Sister Jing more harshly than Brother Zhuang, she is still her biological daughter no matter what.

She couldn't bear it, so she went over with the ointment to apply it on Sister Jing to prevent swelling and also relieve the pain.

Seeing this, Brother Chang frowned slightly, "Auntie, if you don't remember the pain, it's not enough to change it."

Zhang Guifen said: "Brother Haochang, your sister is still young."

Brother Chang shook his head and said, "Sister Jing, you are too young to learn. What is your next sentence?"

Sister Jing held back the tears and said, "What are you doing?"

Brother Chang nodded and said nothing more.

Zhang Guifen sighed and didn't care.

When Wei Yuan comes back in the evening, the family is having dinner.

Sister Jing's movements trembled slightly when she held the chopsticks.

Wei Yuan saw it and frowned: "What's wrong?"

Sister Jing glanced at Zhang Guifen's eyes and didn't dare to say anything, so she shook her head.

Wei Yuan immediately spread Sister Jing's palm and found that the hand that had been hit by Brother Chang was red and swollen.

"what happened?"

Wei Yuan looked very angry.

Zhang Guifen had no choice but to explain clearly the whole story.

Wei Yuan was furious and threw his chopsticks onto the dining table.

In an instant, the maids responsible for serving everyone's meals fell to their knees.

Even Xie Yuying, who broke into the table to eat, was startled and stood up suddenly, lowering her head and not daring to speak.

Zhang Guifen asked Baozhu, who was kneeling beside him, to get another set of bowls and chopsticks, and then said in a serious voice:

"Sister Jing did make a mistake. Being beaten will help you remember it for a long time, so it's not a bad thing."

Sister Jing was actually trying to persuade Wei Yuan, "Dad, my daughter is fine. Don't be angry."

Wei Yuan said with a serious face: "I asked Brother Chang to teach them how to read because I wanted to be strict with Brother Zhuang. I didn't let him treat my daughter like this!"

After hearing these words, Brother Zhuang, who was immersed in eating at the side, suddenly shook his head and sighed softly.

Wei Yuan glared at him, "When you have a meal, you have a meal. Why are you sighing?"

Brother Zhuang said helplessly: "My child just feels that what his father said makes sense. My child feels sorry for his sister, so he sighs."

After saying that, Wei Yuan held Sister Jing in his arms and said, "Sister Jing, let me help you vent your anger tomorrow and give Brother Chang a good beating, okay?"

Unexpectedly, Sister Jing suddenly shook her head and said, "What Brother Chang said makes sense, and the daughter is willing to be punished. If the father teaches Brother Chang a lesson, how should the daughter handle herself?"

Hearing this, Wei Yuan was surprised, "Who taught you this?"

Zhang Guifen lowered his head.

Wei Yuan understood instantly, "That's all, our sister Jing has been wronged."

After dinner, Wei Yuan said one thing to Zhang Guifen:

"I plan to renovate the Chunyi Pavilion and make a big garden. Then I will level the land behind the mountain and build a place where you can enjoy flowers and enjoy the lake. What do you think?"

Wei Yuan's frivolous words could mean that millions of taels of snowflakes and silver were gone.

Zhang Guifen frowned and said: "It's too extravagant and wasteful. Now Chunyi Pavilion is not bad."

Wei Yuan said: "What our family is most in need of right now is money. If we don't build a big garden, why would we keep so much money?"

Zhang Guifen said: "This is not a long-term plan for the family."

Wei Yuan said: "I am in the position of Taifu and the pillar of the country, with great power and prestige. Those members of the royal family, such as the eight kings, are always polite and respectful when they see me. My husband just wants to It’s just a garden, even if it’s slightly against the rules, it’s okay.”

At this point, Zhang Guifen knew that it would be difficult to persuade him, so she moved the elders out of the family.

"In half a month, it will be my mother's birthday. When the time comes, you can ask my mother and my father what she wants, okay?"

Wei Yuan said nothing more.

Later, he went to Xie Yuying's place to rest.

Zhang Guifen wanted to sleep, but she heard the sound of reading loudly in Brother Zhuang's room. She was curious, so she went to Brother Zhuang's room, only to see that Brother Zhuang was really studying hard.

She felt a little distressed and said: "It's so late. I'll just study tomorrow. It's better to have a good rest."

Brother Zhuang shook his head and said, "During the meal today, my father told me that my homework will be examined in two days. If I don't pay attention, I'm afraid I will be punished by my father."

Zhang Guifen said dissatisfied: "Your father didn't study as hard as you when he was young."

Brother Zhuang said sternly: "Compared to my father going into battle to kill the enemy, it's easy for my son to study."

"That day, my father was naked and practicing martial arts at the martial arts arena. The child saw dozens of scars on his father's body, large and small."

"No matter how hard a child studies, it is nothing compared to his father."

Zhang Guifen said earnestly: "Your father is so harsh on you on weekdays. Do you feel aggrieved?"

Hearing this, Brother Zhuang shook her head in surprise.

She wondered: "Why?"

Brother Zhuang explained:

"When his father went to war, he would not forget to bring gifts to the child every month. When the child was young, he liked the scimitar of the Liao Kingdom. The child heard from Uncle Daniel that one time his father personally wore armor and went into battle to kill the enemy. It was because he saw a Liao warrior. The king will have an extremely exquisite scimitar hanging on his waist."

"In order to seize the sword, my father did not hesitate to go deep into the enemy's rear. After a while, my father was surrounded by no less than thirty enemy generals. At that time, Uncle Daniel said that all the officers and men of my Third Army were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat."

"Once, I accidentally told Uncle Da Niu and the others that I wanted to ride a horse. My father scolded me. I was so young that I couldn't even walk well, so I wanted to ride a horse. But afterwards, my father still asked Uncle Liang Da to do it for me. The state got a purebred sweat pony for the child."

"My father loves his children very much and never talks about it. He is worried that I will become a playboy and will not be able to shoulder the important responsibility of the champion prince in the future."

Zhang Guifen was very surprised to hear Brother Zhuang say so much.

She touched Brother Zhuang's little head and said kindly, "My Brother Zhuang has really grown up."

Suddenly, Brother Zhuang took a bottle of ointment from the wooden box and said:

"Mother, give this to father."

Zhang Guifen asked curiously again: "What is this?"

Brother Zhuang said: "Last time I saw my father practicing martial arts, my father's arm was in constant pain. It must be a recurrence of the old injury. The pain of scraping the bone is very unbearable. My father's arm was injured and his martial arts was no longer at its peak. Didn't my mother realize that my father Do you always look depressed after practicing martial arts? "

"My father is the greatest hero in the world. He is even more powerful than Xiang Yu in ancient times. His arm is injured and his strength is not as good as before. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid he would feel uncomfortable."

"Uncle Daniel and the others also know that when Uncle Daniel and the others recently competed with their father, whenever they saw his father using his injured arm to exert strength, they all avoided it and did not dare to fight. I am afraid they also felt that my father's arm was injured and was not as good as before."

Zhang Guifen took the bottle of ointment, thoughtfully, and suddenly asked: "Brother Zhuang, are you willing to learn martial arts?"

Brother Zhuang thought for a while and said: "Our champion Houfu is a general, so his martial arts skills cannot be neglected. My child is willing to learn."

Zhang Guifen smiled and said: "How about I ask Ning Yuanhou to teach you martial arts some other time? Your father also learned martial arts from the previous generation Ning Yuan Hou. You will learn the Gu family gun and your father's skills as well. Come and defeat your father, okay?"

Brother Zhuang frowned and said, "My father is a hero and he is arrogant. If one day, the child defeats his father, how can his father be happy?"

Zhang Guifen said earnestly: "Silly boy, in this world, anyone who defeats your father may be a blow to your father, but only you. If you defeat your father, your father will not only not be sad, but will be happy because of it." ”

"Moreover, mother firmly believes that if there is one person in this world who can surpass your father, it can only be you, because you are my child, your father's child, and the legitimate son of the Champion House. "
