It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

Years later

Yang Jiaxun looked at Weng Siyuan, very puzzled, "Brother, you won the first place in the imperial examination but resigned from your post. This is really unheard of!"

"My knowledge was all taught by my father. I came to participate in the imperial examination only to prove that my father is both a warrior and a scholar, and is not inferior to anyone. He is willing to be ordinary, but I refuse to accept it."

Yang Jiaxun was even more confused. "Since you are not convinced, why don't you use your high starting point as the top scholar to build a good career?"

Weng Siyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said calmly, "I haven't decided what to do yet. Passing the exam to become the top scholar only proves that I have made some initial academic achievements. My father is a first-rate teacher."

Now it was Yang Jiaxun's turn to curl his lips. A small achievement? This is too modest.

There is one number one scholar every three years. How many can a person see in his lifetime? At most, there are only a dozen or twenty.

"My uncle taught you a top scholar. I'm afraid you won't have peace in the future."

"Whether you are peaceful or not is up to you. My father will not change his lifestyle for others."

Yang Jiaxun seemed to be lost in thought. He had only met his uncle a few times, but each time left a deep impression on him.

When I first met him as a child, I thought my uncle was just a gentle and elegant teacher. My father rarely talked about my uncle. It was not until I grew up that I got to know the inside story. I knew that he was a majestic general. When I met him again, I noticed the rare coldness in my uncle's expression, and I have been more respectful since then.

"Auntie won't blame you?"

"It's possible that my father would blame me, but my mother won't!"

When Weng Siyuan mentioned his mother, his face was full of pride, even more proud than when he mentioned his uncle. Yang Jiaxun looked curious, even though he had heard a lot about his aunt's deeds.

"As long as you do something serious, my mother will support you no matter what you do."

After hearing this, Yang Jiaxun was filled with envy. His mother was not so understanding. She kept reminding him to work hard and bring honor to the family.

"What are your plans?"

"Let's go around first, go collect herbs with my uncle, and experience the sufferings of the world. When you know what you really want to do, then settle down."

"My father said that the family heritage of a military general cannot be cut off. I have no hope of passing the imperial examination, so I will probably be sent to the northwest soon." Yang Jiaxun lowered his head and turned the cup.

Weng Siyuan didn't respond, but picked up the teapot and poured water for his cousin. Everyone has his own destiny and path to take.

He must have been a good person in several lifetimes to have such a good life in this one.

Having an incomparable pair of parents, a warm and harmonious family, and a life without worries about food and clothing gave him the confidence to choose his career!

There are thousands and thousands of people in the world, but not many have this seemingly simple right.

This cousin is the eldest son of the Duke of Weiguo and has a prominent status, but there are many things that are beyond his control, so Weng Siyuan is very glad that this status is not his.

He is Weng Siyuan. Now he has no burden and can do whatever he wants.

To be honest, he has never envied anyone since he was a child. If he did, it was because he envied his father for marrying a good wife.

With his status as a man, I don’t know if he can ever find a girl he likes in this life.

"My little sister is almost coming of age, and my mother said she would find a good marriage for her in the capital."

By the way, besides his mother, the only woman in the world who catches his eye is his own sister.

The mother and daughter not only look alike, but also have similar tempers and personalities. If there is anything about the younger sister that is inferior to her mother, it is that she has more of the bad habits of a spoiled girl.

It's not her fault. She has two older brothers protecting her and a father who is a daughter slave. If it weren't for her mother's strict discipline, she would have been spoiled to the point of lawlessness.

Because of this matter, his father was often punished by his mother.

"Tell my aunt not to worry about it. Siqi is not only our family's chief accountant, but she also often follows Uncle Jingming to fight the Japanese pirates. She is cunning and wild. If she doesn't agree, my parents will never agree."

Like this?

You really can’t judge a person by his appearance!

The cousin who looks delicate and weak but has a sweet smile is actually a heroine!

Balabala, there is really no suitable young man among the nobles in the capital.

"Are you still studying, little brother?"

Speaking of his family, Weng Siyuan felt that there was really nothing to brag about as a top scholar.

"He stopped going to school a long time ago, but my father set him a task: he must read 50 books every year and write three reflections every month. If he fails to do so, he is not allowed to leave the house."

Without waiting for his cousin to ask, Weng Siyuan continued, "Sihan started to work in land transport with Uncle Chen when he was thirteen, and also worked in a escort agency. At fifteen, he went to sea again. He has been to many places and has a lot of travel experiences. His mother has already printed several books for him."

My goodness, if his cousin hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known that his younger cousin was so capable. This family is too low-key! There are many things that even their own family members don't know about.

Weng Siyuan curled his lips and said, "So, there's really nothing special about me being the top scholar. Their knowledge is not lower than mine. I just have the patience to study for the exam essays."

Well, that makes sense! Yang Jiaxun is quite knowledgeable, but he has rarely been crushed like this.

"How is my aunt?" Yang Lin was his biological aunt. After being taken away from the royal villa, she chose to go to Yangzhou, and even his father could not help her.

"My mother opened an orphanage that took in homeless children under the age of ten. My aunt worked there as a manager. She was busy every day and she felt more energetic."

"It's good to have something to do. It's hard for my aunt to put aside her status and do chores."

Many people in the world have this idea, but those who have experienced it know that being high and mighty and doing nothing may not necessarily make you happy.

Weng Siyuan didn't argue with anyone. After all, his aunt could make her own decision. Just like his mother said, she only had to be responsible for herself for the rest of her life.

"Are you ready to leave Beijing for a long time?"

"Let's wait until after Qingming Festival. This is the second year since my grandmother passed away. My parents should be here to offer sacrifices."

Fallen leaves return to their roots. Since my great-grandfather is here, it is natural that my great-grandmother should be buried in the ancestral tomb together with him.

"Just live in the house. It's convenient everywhere."

Weng Siyuan waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm not being polite to you, it's just that it's really inconvenient to go in and out of the mansion. It's not as free as I am now. It's not appropriate for my parents not to go, so I'll just forget it."

Yang Jiaxun stopped persuading him. If possible, he also wanted to live a more free life.

......

"I haven't been to Beijing for a few years. It has changed a lot."

"You speak as if you are very familiar with the capital. I grew up here, but I don't dare to say that."

Weng Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes silently. She noticed that Yang Shuo had entered menopause early. Not only did he become more and more nagging, but his temper also became worse. He would quarrel with her at every turn, or give her the cold shoulder.

"Who pissed you off? I'll go and scold him for you." Weng Xiaoxiao didn't want to argue with him, and she didn't want him to meet people with a gloomy face.

Yang Shuo curled his lips, snorted coldly, and looked outside, "Who do you think is better looking, me or Tian Runze?"

Weng Xiaoxiao raised her hand to support her forehead and looked up at the sky in silence. She had only gone to visit Tian Runze, but this was already endless. They were both old men, how could you tell which one was better looking?!

Everything went wrong along the way, and this was the root cause.

Now I finally believe the saying "A man remains a boy until he dies."

Weng Xiaoxiao firmly believed in using softness to overcome hardness. She leaned on Yang Shuo's shoulder, got closer and said, "You are my husband. No matter how good he is, what does it have to do with me! Besides, you have been practicing martial arts for many years, so your figure is definitely better than his."

Yang Shuo took the compliment to heart, and his expression instantly looked much better. When it came to his figure, he was absolutely confident.

"No, you mean he looks better!"

This questioning made Weng Xiaoxiao angry. If she couldn't be soft, she could only use force. She moved to the side and said coldly, "So what? What do you think?"

Seeing Weng Xiaoxiao getting angry, Yang Shuo immediately stopped and dared not to make trouble anymore.

"Madam, have a drink of water to calm down." Yang Shuo tentatively handed over a cup of tea.

Weng Xiaoxiao glanced at Yang Shuo and didn't extend her hand. "Why did I go to see Tian Runze? Isn't it just to see his sons and see if there is anyone suitable for Qiqi?"

Yang Shuo stretched out his arm and held the wine for Weng Xiaoxiao to drink. "His family is not good. We must find a family that does not take concubines. Our daughter cannot share a husband with others." Then he smiled to himself, "I am afraid that she will often beat her husband and ruin her reputation."

Weng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be amused. She didn't like the atmosphere of the Tian family either, but that was someone else's life and she had no right to interfere. "Do you think I wouldn't mind? This is what I care about the most."

He put down the teacup, and with a little effort, he pulled Weng Xiaoxiao into his arms, foreheads touching, "This is my incomparable advantage. You are the only woman in my life, and I have never been tired of you. I like you more and more."

Weng Xiaoxiao's face turned red from the hot air, and she was afraid that the servant outside the car would hear it, so she quickly covered Yang Shuo's mouth with her hand. Seeing that Yang Shuo was not satisfied, she leaned over and kissed him before giving up.

Yang Shuo, whose hair was smoothed, leaned back and stretched his limbs. "Where do you want to go after the matter in the capital is over?"

Over the years, the couple has traveled almost all over China, from Changbai Mountain in the northeast to Xishuangbanna in the southwest, from the Gobi Desert in the northwest to the coastline in the southeast, leaving their footprints everywhere.

I have ridden the wind and waves, galloped on the grassland, climbed snow-capped mountains, walked through dense forests, seen countless beautiful sceneries, and experienced many thrills.

No matter what situation I encounter, Yang Shuo is always by my side.

Being able to walk hand in hand is the best companion.

Weng Xiaoxiao had a difficult first half of her life, but she had no regrets!

It doesn’t mean that everything is perfect without regrets, but that you have tried your best and strived for it, and you will not regret it even if the result is not satisfactory!

"I don't want to go anywhere now. I just want to go home early and take a nap in the rocking chair with my cat."

Yang Shuo smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go home after I finish my work. It's just in time to drink the latest Mingqian tea." (End of article)
