Chronicle of Emperor Jing
Chapter 120 The Son Inherited His Father's Business
"Grandmother, my grandson thinks the courtyard on the east side is good. It's small, quiet and has a good view, and it's very close to the main courtyard on my father's side, so I can come and serve my father from time to time." Wei Minwen supported his grandmother's arm and went out of the courtyard. The courtyard, walked east for a while, and when he was about to reach the side courtyard on the east, he said suddenly.
The fourth entrance, besides the main courtyard where his father lived, the small courtyards on the left and right roads can also be used for people, that's what he said.
"The courtyard on the east side is very close, but isn't it a little smaller?" Mrs. Liu glanced at it, thought about it, and felt that something was wrong.
The courtyard in the side courtyard is not as big as the one on the middle road. There are a lot of waiters around Minwen. Liu is worried that if he lives in the side courtyard, it will be too crowded for so many people to live in.
"Grandson lives in the outer courtyard, so he doesn't need so many people around him. It's enough to have a few servants to serve him close by." Wei Minwen continued to make persistent efforts and continued to speak.
In Zhongyonghou's Mansion, Wei Minwen and his cousin Wei Minshi lived in the main courtyard with their grandparents. A bunch of Yingying and swallows circled around him all day long, which made him a little dizzy. If he lived in the outer courtyard, he would I definitely don't need so many people around me.
"How can this be done? You are only ten years old. Even if you live in a yard alone, you can't lose people around you. We'd better choose a bigger yard." Shi Liu shook her head, rejecting his request.
This Marquis of Yongning, with the front house and the small yard in the back garden, more than 20 yards, large and small, will definitely not fail to pick out a suitable place for the eldest son to live in, wronged the eldest son, and made him feel uncomfortable.
"The old lady is very true. Please don't worry, the old lady. Lord Hou has prepared the residence of the prince long ago. This servant girl will lead you to have a look. You will definitely agree after seeing it." The servant who led the way, Said very courteously.
It was the first time for Marquis Yongning to come to this mansion yesterday, and he didn't even bother with his own residence, so it is absolutely impossible to prepare the residence of the prince early.
However, if the servant didn't say that, how could he still say that this is the residence appointed by the emperor to the prince?
No matter how much the emperor loves Marquis Yongning in private, as long as the emperor doesn't let their relationship pass the Ming road, the emperor should not interfere with such trivial matters in Marquis Yongning's mansion, so the servants pushed all these matters to Marquis Yongning.
As for the servant who was in charge of the flowers and trees just now, it is a similar thing to insist that the old lady accept those pots of famous chrysanthemums.
Yesterday evening, after supper, the emperor and Marquis Yongning enjoyed chrysanthemums in the yard and digested food by the way.
The emperor admired the various famous chrysanthemums in the courtyard for a while, commented on them, and then asked everyone what they thought.
In the past, if the emperor asked such a question, the servants around him would have already stepped forward to make fun of him, trying their best to make the emperor happy.
But today, the one who was following the emperor was Yongninghou, and the people who were serving them naturally would not take the emperor's words at will, they just waited for Yongninghou to make the emperor happy.
The Marquis of Yongning is neither stupid nor stupid, so he must understand what to say at such a time.Moreover, he has been with the emperor for many years, if he needs someone else to teach him how to answer this kind of question, he doesn't need to serve in front of the emperor anymore.
Sure enough, as everyone expected, Marquis Yongning said very seriously that it was very good.
The emperor asked him again without any new ideas, what is so good about it?
Everyone was waiting for Marquis Yongning to answer in embarrassment: I don't understand these things.
However, contrary to the expectations of everyone present, Yongning Hou actually tasted these chrysanthemums seriously this time from the perspectives of color, shape, and shape. I learned this rhetoric.
The emperor obviously didn't expect that the Marquis of Yongning would answer like this. He was stunned for a moment, glanced at Marquis Yongning, and then said leisurely, "Aiqing must like it very much when she speaks so eloquently. How about reciting a poem in public? Express your love for me?"
"Your Majesty..." Marquis Yongning got stuck when he heard the words. He couldn't speak for a long time, and he could only admit honestly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The remarks I made just now are trying to catch people's teeth. I don't understand these things."
Seeing that things had finally returned to the normal routine, the emperor laughed. He was not angry with Yongning Hou, but instead ordered his servants to pick out a few pots of chrysanthemums and send them to Zhongyonghou's mansion in the name of Yongning Hou to show to the old lady. In order not to put it here, no one will know and cherish the flowers, and it will be a waste of precious things.
This is the whole process of Yongning Hou coaxing the emperor to be happy.
Anyway, no matter how Yongninghou tried to make the emperor happy, as far as the final result is concerned, the emperor was indeed very happy. Even if others witnessed this scene, they couldn't help but be stunned, hating the injustice in their hearts, but the emperor just felt happy. No matter how inconceivable others find it, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Master Zhongguan, are we going to the inner courtyard?" Seeing the servant leading the way, they turned a corner and headed north, Liu could not help asking.
"Yes, the old lady has good eyesight. Master Hou said that the son is the future heir of the Yongning Hou Mansion, and there is absolutely no reason to live in a side courtyard. As for the main courtyard, Master Hou has already lived in the fourth entrance, so the son should live in the second courtyard." Come in five." The servant led them into the hanging flower gate, and said as they walked, "This yard is big and spacious, and it is also close to the residence of Lord Hou. Madam, do you think it makes sense?"
The servant remembered that the emperor's original words were like this.
As for whether the emperor really thought so in his heart, he still felt that it would be more convenient for the emperor to live in the backyard than letting the prince live in the side courtyard.
Anyway, if it is said that the emperor has bad intentions towards Yongning Hou Shizi and wants to do something to him, then it should not be possible. However, if the emperor will take care of the son, he must arrange his residence carefully and properly. For fear of wronging him somewhere, that is definitely overthinking.
The emperor was afraid that the person who would be wronged had always been the Marquis of Yongning, and the others were just the emperor's Aiwujiwu.
They talked all the way, and soon entered the courtyard of the fifth entrance.
There is not much difference in layout between this courtyard and the fourth courtyard. It is indeed as big and spacious as the servant said. Moreover, there is a gate for the courtyard and a gate for hanging flowers. Compared with living in the outer courtyard, Mrs. Liu feels more at ease.
The only disadvantage is that if you live here, you need to walk a little longer to go to the main courtyard than to live in the fourth side courtyard, but it is not that far in reality. Compared with other benefits, this It's a little inconvenient, but it's not really a big disadvantage.
"Old madam, go in and have a look. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, bring it up together. There are some places in this house that just need to be changed. This time, we will make changes together. After a few days, the prince will be able to move in." The servant took them, wearing Cross the yard and go to the main room.
There was nothing to talk about in the main hall, it was neatly arranged, Mrs. Liu entered the living room on the east side, took a closer look, nodded with satisfaction, and even had an inexplicable feeling in her heart that her son had finally grown up.
Regardless of whether he arranged these rooms by himself, or ordered others to arrange them, just by looking at the decorations, you can tell that he has put a lot of thought into it this time.The furnishings in these rooms are very suitable for ten-year-old children, with both style and childishness.
"Old Madam, let's take a look at the study room. Master Hou can't remember exactly which books the prince has read, so he only prepared some Mongolian books. If the prince needs other books, please write a list, and the servants will help you collect them." The servant led everyone to the study.
Compared with Yongninghou's study, the prince's study is less solemn and more lively. Whether it's the hangings on the wall or the decorations on the case, as always, it still has a childlike style.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhongguan, but I really don't need to bother too much. These books are enough for me to read for a long time." Wei Minwen glanced at the bookshelf, and saw that there were only some blind books on them, and thanked the servant for his kindness .
"My maidservant's name is Chang Sheng. From now on, there will be servants from the palace. If the prince needs anything, you can ask someone to tell this maidservant. The servant girl will definitely help the prince to look carefully." This servant named Chang Sheng , and said courteously.
Chang Sheng was not someone who served the emperor personally.
The emperor's side was crowded with people. Unless the emperor caught his eye and the emperor called his name directly and ordered him to serve him, it would not be easy to squeeze in.The so-called one radish and one hole, if he wants to occupy someone else's hole, there will naturally be a radish that has already occupied the position, which is not pleasing to the eye and squeezes him out.
The Marquis of Yongning's side was also crowded with people, and to go to the Marquis of Yongning's side to serve him personally, the first thing he had to see was the emperor's eyes. The difficulty was on the same level as squeezing to the emperor's side.
However, beside Yongning Hou Shizi, he will not be able to squeeze in, right?
As long as he pleases the prince, he wins the Marquis Yongning's favor, that is, he wins the emperor's favor. Chang Sheng has already discovered this winding road.
Now, he is so attentive, he obviously wants to take the curve road to save the country.
However, if he wants to achieve his goal, he still has to see if the other party is willing to cooperate.
Wei Minwen was not educated in an ordinary way since he was a child, and he experienced a death situation, but in the end he narrowly escaped, some things naturally felt different, compared with children of the same age, he thought a little too much.
His father, Marquis of Yongning, from the obvious point of view, because he had shared life and death with the emperor, and was loyal to the emperor for many years, so he was extremely trusted by the emperor, and the emperor would keep him in the palace from time to time.
This is the information he has collected these days, but he always feels that something is wrong, but he doesn't know what is wrong.
Inference from common sense, all this seems normal.
No matter whether the emperor grants a mansion, property, or promotion, it is the king's love for his subjects, which seems really normal.
The only abnormality is probably that there are more servants in this house now.However, as long as the servants of the Wei family took over immediately, everything would be justified.
It is said that this house was built under the supervision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.When other courtiers build houses, the emperor usually uses the Ministry of Industry, but this is not a big problem. Anyway, it is rewarded by the emperor. Whether it is built by the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Ministry of Industry is actually a matter of where the money comes from. Well, the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually has to be counted on the royal family's expenses.
However, the whole world belongs to the emperor, and there is no essential difference.
Besides, it is very likely that the emperor has no reason, that is, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be used smoothly, so that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will supervise the construction of the house.
Sometimes, for the superior, it may be just an unintentional action with no other meaning, but the speculator wants to add various meanings for him. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
To Wei Minwen, these things are not surprising, but it is strange that these servants are so attentive to them now.
Logically speaking, the people around the emperor should be respected by everyone else, and they would rely on their own status and would not be humbled easily. Once they left the palace, they represented the face of the emperor.
If some people want to save their face at will, if the emperor suspects that this person is making use of the topic, but actually trying to save the emperor's face, it will be troublesome.
However, although Wei Minwen felt strange in his heart, he didn't say anything.No matter what the other party's purpose is, no matter what strange things are in it, if he looks slowly, he will find out naturally, there is no need to be too anxious.
"Then I would like to thank Chang Zhongguan for taking care of me." He smiled shyly, like a real ten-year-old boy, and thanked Chang Zhongguan earnestly.
"Old madam, what do you think of this place?" After getting in touch with Yongning Hou Shizi, Chang's servant turned to old madam Wei again and asked her opinion.
Marquis Yongning attaches great importance to his family, whether it is his parents, brothers, or nephews, he will take it to heart, and the servants in Chang'an want to save the country with curves, so naturally he will not let go of the opportunity to please Mrs. Wei.
Liu knew why he was so courteous, but if she was so courteous from the servant, she would definitely not do that.
There is naturally a reason for the constant servant to do this, and without thinking too much, he knows that it has something to do with the palace.If it's just a convenient thing, she believes that with her son's nature, even if the servants don't show this kindness, if something happens, the son will not be stingy with giving convenience, but for other things, she doesn't want her son Too much meddling.
Around the emperor, there are taboos everywhere, because in that place, every move involves power and interests, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a power struggle.What's more, the emperor used bloody methods to gather power, so he might be more taboo about some things than other kings.
Once the son manages too much, stretches his hands too long, violates the emperor's taboo, and separates himself from the emperor for the sake of others, the gain outweighs the loss.
If Mrs. Liu easily accepts the favor of Chang's servant today, she will probably need her son to repay the favor. She doesn't want her son to be involved too deeply in the palace affairs, so she definitely won't hold him back.
Along the way, her conversations with these servants have always been polite, and there has been no real talk between you and me doing Tai Chi, which is why.
However, looking left and right, Mrs. Liu was quite satisfied with this courtyard.
"Chang Zhongguan is bothering you. Everything here is good and there is no need to change it. Minwen, how about you just move here?" Mrs. Liu nodded in approval of this courtyard, and then asked Wei Minwen's opinion.
"But it's up to grandma to decide." Wei Minwen didn't have much opinion on where to live.
Since this courtyard was designated by his father and approved by his grandmother, he naturally nodded in agreement.
"Old madam, son, Master Hou invites you to the main courtyard, and lunch is about to begin." They were talking, and another servant came to pass the news.
Mrs. Liu looked up at the sun, sure enough, the sun was about to move to the mid-heaven, and it was indeed getting late.
She nodded, and led Wei Minwen and the maids out of the inner courtyard to the main courtyard.
In the hall of the main courtyard, Old Master Wei sat in the main seat and was admiring a strange stone decoration placed on the coffee table at hand.Wei Yan sat on his lower head, holding a teacup, drinking tea leisurely.
Seeing the mother and son coming in, he stood up, called "Mother", walked quickly to the door, held the other arm of the mother, and sent her to the side of the father, and waited for her to sit safely before holding his son hand, and walked down.
Wei Minwen didn't notice it for a while, but he grabbed his hand, and then, something was wrong with him.He followed his father, and after only a few steps, he couldn't help getting up together.
Fortunately, there was only a few steps away from the main seat to the lower seat, so no one noticed that he had made a fool of himself just now.
Wei Yan didn't know about this, he walked to the seat, turned around and looked at his son, his son was raising his body, his figure was a little thin, but he had already started to grow taller, he hadn't seen him for a few days, he seemed to have grown taller again , and now his head is almost reaching his armpits.
He sat down, pulled his son in front of him, carefully looked at him a few times, and felt that his son's figure seemed a little too thin, so he wondered whether he should let him practice martial arts to strengthen his body.
Their Wei family started with military exploits, and all the children in the clan are proficient in horse bows and horses. If the son is too out of gregarious, I am afraid that the brothers will not be able to get along too harmoniously.
Seeing that he himself is about to get busy, he may not be able to supervise his son's martial arts practice all the time, but he has several senior brothers, and they have a good relationship with each other. There should be some idlers among them. Please come over and teach Minwen a few times. Years, shouldn't be a problem.
"Father..." Wei Minwen felt even more strange after seeing him these few times.
He wanted to break free from the hand being held, but felt that he shouldn't do so.But being held by someone like this really made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Since he was a child, he has only been so close to his mother, and he has always kept an appropriate distance from other adult men because of their different identities.
But the person in front of him, whether it is true or not, is his father. It is absolutely natural for a father to want to get close to his son. What kind of reason should he use to refuse his father's close action?
Or just say, he is already an adult, shouldn't his father treat him like a child?
Wei Minwen turned his mind and finally came up with such an idea.
However, at the age of ten years old, it seems reasonable to say that it is not too old or too young to be held by his father.If he was a few years older, he could have justly refused.
Various thoughts were spinning in Wei Minwen's mind, and he felt extremely awkward, but he could only reluctantly let his father hold hands.
Fortunately, soon a servant came in with tea and relieved him, so that he could not bear it on the spot and did something rude.
"Sit down." After Wei Yan finished looking at it, he let his son sit beside him, then pointed to the teacup that had just been brought in, and said, "Minwen, this is the sweet soup I specially prepared for you, try it Try it, does it suit your taste?"
"Okay, father." Wei Minwen picked up the teacup, lifted the lid, and took a sip carefully.
The taste of this sweet soup is not bad, but he doesn't like sweets very much, so it's hard to say whether he likes it or not.Of course, he didn't need to speak so clearly about this kind of thing, so he didn't say anything, and took another sip.
"Minwen, don't you like it? If you don't like it, don't drink it." Wei Yan kept looking at him while he was drinking the sweet soup, seeing him taking a sip of the sweet soup, his eyebrows remained motionless, unlike those children who love sweets, As long as he took a sip, Mei Feng would be completely relieved, thinking that he might not like it.
Isn't it said that children like sweets?Why doesn't Minwen like him?He thought a little sadly.
"It's okay." Wei Minwen was required since he was a child to keep his emotions out of the way. Besides, compared to his father holding his hand just now when he was in a state of discomfort, drinking sweet soup would not make him lose his composure on the spot.
Wei Yan saw that although he didn't like the reaction, he didn't have a disgusting reaction, so he put this matter aside and talked about other things.
"Minwen, father will help you find a master and practice martial arts for a few years, what do you think?" Although Wei Yan felt that his son's body was too thin and needed to practice, he felt that he was a very reasonable father, so he asked his son first. Views.
"Father, my son doesn't like to practice martial arts." Wei Minwen didn't think that, as a dude, he still had to be proficient in martial arts.
For a creature like a dandy, all he needs to do is learn how to eat, drink and have fun. He won't bully men and women, so he doesn't need much martial arts.
"It's not about how well you practice, just ride a horse and draw a bow, it won't be very hard." The son's tone of voice was so natural, Wei Yan's voice became a little weak.
The son wandered outside and suffered a lot. He just came back to him. Instead of busying himself with recuperating his body, he just wanted to let him practice martial arts. Doesn't this seem like a qualified father?
Wei Yan seriously reflected on his behavior, and felt even more guilty.
"The child can ride a horse and draw a bow." Wei Minwen also learned a little kung fu from his mother when he was a child.Of course, his little kung fu is the kung fu of a three-legged cat.
Compared with ordinary people, his skills are still strong. If he meets a real master, such as his father, he will just deliver food.
However, his mother once said that he was born to be rich and honorable, and he only needed to be able to ride a horse and draw a bow.
Moreover, the so-called those who work hard rule others, and those who work hard rule others.If he wants to live a good life, he should try to be a laborer instead of a laborer.
Wei Minwen thought back then that his mother said this because he was the posthumous son of King You. Now that he thought about his mother's words carefully, he found that the identity of the son of the Marquis of Yongning was probably more in line with what his mother said.
No matter whether he is the posthumous child of King You, as long as he dares to use this identity to show up in public, he will be hunted down by the court. Once he becomes a prisoner, how can he be rich?
However, the identity of Yongning Hou Shizi is different.Marquis Yongning is deeply favored by the emperor. As his son, he can expect wealth and happiness. He doesn't even need to do anything, and he can live a good life only relying on his father's shade.
However, Wei Minwen has always been full of doubts about this matter.
If it is said that he is not of the Wei family's blood, and the Wei family had no choice but to recognize him in order to exonerate the Marquis of Yongning, then there is no need for the Wei family to do such a thing as inviting him to be the crown prince.Even if it is still on the cusp and everyone is staring at the Wei family, it is not easy for the Wei family to throw him in any corner and let him disappear slowly, but there is really no need to do unnecessary things.
Once he became the eldest son conferred by the imperial court, his name would be rectified, and it would be very difficult for the Wei family to overthrow him whether he wanted to or not.
A family like the Wei family would not confuse blood relationship at all. Even if the Marquis of Yongning lacked heirs, there were many nephews who could adopt him, and there was absolutely no way to take advantage of others.
If it is said that he is really the flesh and blood of Marquis Yongning, there are many doubts in it.Don't say much about other things, just say one thing, his mother never told him that he is the heir of Yongninghou.
Wei Minwen actually had a lot to say, and wanted to ask his mother, but his mother disappeared before the officers and soldiers caught them.
In the past, she would disappear for a while from time to time, so that Wei Minwen didn't take her disappearance seriously.That night, before leaving, she came to tell him that she was going to do something so that he would not have to be afraid. She had arranged everything, and no matter what happened, he would be safe and sound.
Wei Minwen originally thought she would come back soon, but he didn't expect that there would be no news of her going. Later, when he was waiting to die in prison, he became the flesh and blood of Marquis Yongning for no reason. In the end, she made up a story that was basically nonsense, and finally said that she had passed away, and even her tablet was placed in the ancestral hall of the Wei family.
There were so many lies in this matter that Wei Minwen didn't know what to believe.However, none of the smart people in the Wei family said anything about this matter, as if the story his father made up was really similar.
As for his father, in the past two months, Wei Minwen didn't spend much time with him, but just a few times of contact, he found that his father was stable and capable on the surface, but in fact he was about to change from time to time. Success is not in the situation, but this man who is often not in the situation is now the hope of the Wei family. Wei Minwen sometimes thinks about it, and feels that the Wei family may be doomed.
Sometimes he was in a panic, and he really wanted to tell people about these things, but he had to pretend to be stupid, and he didn't want people to know, in fact, he knew a lot of things.
As for the fact that some people treat him like a child from time to time and try to curry favor with him with childish things, to be honest, he feels stupid just looking at him.
Now, his words clearly left his father speechless. For some reason, seeing this situation, he was secretly happy.
"Does Minwen like reading? Why don't father hire a famous teacher for you to teach you to study for a few years?" Wei Yan pondered for a while, and when one move failed, he made another one.
He doesn't know many celebrities himself, but Brother Qi knows many celebrities. As long as he has the cheek to ask Brother Qi to help introduce a teacher, Brother Qi will definitely not refuse.
For the sake of his son's academic success, Wei Yan didn't want to have face when he didn't need it.
"Children don't like reading." Wei Minwen suddenly discovered that his father seemed to be quite talkative, so he couldn't help but want to test his father, where is the bottom line of tolerance for him?
"Then what does Minwen want to do in the future?" Wei Yan's parents have worried him since he was a child, even now, his parents are still worrying about him, and some people want to carry him in their pockets, so that they can feel at ease.
However, he felt that he was a father now, and he had to learn to worry about his son, so even if his son planned to fail in writing, he was not angry, but asked patiently about his son's plan.
"I'll just be a dandy who eats and waits to die, can't I?" Wei Minwen asked seriously.
"Minwen, are you serious?" Wei Yan looked at him hesitantly.
He vaguely felt that his son was joking, but when he said this, his expression and tone were very serious, and it didn't seem like he was joking casually.
"Of course my son is serious." This is the real reason why Wei Minwen felt that his father was not in the situation.
In the current situation, he really can't express himself more, and it's safest to be a dude obediently.After all, there are many doubts about this matter. They themselves have not fully believed it, but they expect others to believe it. Is this thinking that others are stupid?
He ate, drank and played for a while, and waited until everyone's eyes stopped paying attention to this matter, and it was too late to talk about other things.Did his father really not understand these principles, or was he just pretending to be stupid?
Listening to their conversation, Liu couldn't help but smile.
Minwen faced them, after all, he lived so cautiously because he was separated by a layer, but blood dissolves in water, so he didn't have so many scruples when facing his father.
"What's wrong with being a dandy? Haven't you been a dandy for so many years? It means that you have grown up a little now that you are older, but only a little bit. It's not your turn to despise the dandy." Wei Laohou The father gave his son a sideways look and helped his grandson. He said in and out of his words that his grandson, even if he aspires to be a rich man, is awesome.
"Father, the child is not such a dandy." Wei Yan felt a little guilty when he said this, and his voice gradually became lower and lower.
When he was young, he really disliked that some things were too troublesome, and some things did not seek to make progress. This is true, but didn't he work hard to make progress later?Does the old man need to settle this old account with his son in front of his son?
"Aren't you guilty of saying that?" Wei Lao Hou Ye is the kind of person who has a grandson and can not have a son. Between the son and the grandson, he must help the grandson.
"Okay, okay, Yan'er is a big man now, Master Hou, you can save him some face in front of Minwen. According to me, Minwen is not in a hurry to study and practice martial arts now, he should take care of his body first, and after a few years Let's talk about it later." Liu interrupted.
She said that not because she doted on her grandson, but because her grandson had just recognized him, and the rumors had not completely dissipated. It was really not suitable to be high-profile now, so as not to attract the attention of others to her grandson.
"Your mother is quite right. It's okay to be a dandy, it's no big deal." Wei Lao Hou knew what Liu's meaning was, and chimed in.
Ever since the Wei family recognized Min Wen, and since the emperor made Min Wen the son of a prince, many people have had a lot of thoughts on this matter. Ever since Old Master Wei knew some of the thoughts of others, he often couldn't help but find it funny.
If Minwen is really the remnant of King You, the emperor would have sent him down to see King You.
There was a battle for the throne between the emperor and King You.Even though the emperor was still young at that time and couldn't remember the turbulent waves during that time, the empress dowager probably still remembers the feeling of constant panic and will definitely remind the emperor often.
Later, there was the "Against the King Case". The emperor had experienced a life-and-death catastrophe in the hunting ground. If he was a little careless that day, the emperor would probably go to see the late emperor. How could he easily forget this enmity?
Thinking that the emperor would leave blood for Youwang, let Youwang's heirs enjoy the glory and wealth, and bring all kinds of hidden dangers to the country, Youwang dare not have such a dream, but others want to guess like this, it is too naive.
Moreover, the ins and outs of this Remnant of King You are full of doubts. As far as Old Master Wei thinks, it may be a trap from beginning to end, and those real Remnants of You King will fall into it.
Then after this matter is speculated, there are only two possibilities left, one is that Minwen is the blood of the Wei family, and the other is that Minwen is a person who has nothing to do with King You and the Wei family.
There are indeed a lot of doubts in this, even if the blood is used to recognize relatives, the emperor can play tricks, and the truth is probably the emperor who knows best.However, what the emperor will do in this matter can also give a glimpse of the emperor's mind.
An old fox like Wei Lao Hou analyzed this matter from a political point of view, and directly ruled out the possibility that Min Wen was the remnant of King You, and then analyzed the remaining two possibilities from an emotional point of view.
The more the emperor valued Yan'er, the more the old Marquis Wei realized that Minwen should really be his son's flesh and blood, because with the emperor's attitude, even if Yan'er had no heir, when the emperor planned to select a son for Yan'er to inherit the Yongning Hou Mansion, he would not It will definitely be carefully selected, and a suitable person will be selected to be the heir. It is absolutely impossible to randomly catch a person and let that person be the heir of the Yongninghou Mansion.
Besides, in this matter, Yan'er himself never doubted that Min Minwen was not his child, and those people who doubted him blindly must be worrying blindly.
No matter what reason Yan'er is based on, he firmly believes in this matter. As ancestors, it is enough to trust him. There is no need to worry about this matter.
If Old Master Wei knew that the reason why Wei Yan believed so deeply was because he felt that the emperor was so kind to him and would definitely not lie to him about this kind of thing, Old Master Wei might be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Of course, the possibility of the emperor deceiving people in this matter exists. Wei Yan, a silly boy, believes what the emperor said so easily. He is really not afraid that he will be sold by the emperor one day. Are you still counting the money for him?
Fortunately, Old Master Wei didn't know the cause and effect, so he could still be so sure.
Of the four people present, three agreed, and one objected. The person who opposed was not good at speaking, and he was ashamed to act like a baby to his parents in front of his son, so as to achieve his goal.
Therefore, even if Wei Yan himself is a dandy, but hopes that his son will become a dragon, and doesn't want his son to be a dandy, it can't change Wei Minwen's decision to be this dandy in the future.
Perhaps, this is another sense of inheritance from the father.
"Master Hou, it's almost time, isn't it time to set the meal?" Fu Xiang listened carefully to the voices in the hall, he had already come to an end, he walked to the door and asked.
"Okay, let's let someone set the meal." Wei Yan looked at the time and nodded in agreement.
The dining place in the main courtyard is placed in the first room on the east side.
Seeing Hou Yongning nodded, Fu Xiang signaled to the outside to start serving the dishes.The meals here are all made in a small kitchen, with a light and delicate style.
One reason for doing this is that Wei Laohou and the old lady are getting older, and for the sake of their health, the meals should be lighter.The second reason is that there are many taboos in Yongninghou's meal, this one cannot be eaten, that one cannot be used, and the final meal presented must be a bit bland.
But as long as you have the heart, you can carve a carrot into a flower.Marquis Yongning's meals can't be varied in taste and variety, but the quality of the ingredients can be refined, and the cooking techniques need to be honed even more.
The small kitchen in the Weiyan Courtyard selects the cooks according to these requirements, and the finished product presented in the end is naturally very particular.
It is not that Wei Laohou and Liu Shi have never seen the world, but looking at these refined meals and these imperial dishes, it is probably the first time that they have an intuitive impression of how much their son is favored by the emperor. .
After all, in the past, although the emperor rewarded this and that, he would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Zhongyonghou Mansion. Old Master Wei and the Liu family naturally did not know what kind of life Wei Yan lived in the palace.
Now, they finally have an intuitive experience of this, but this experience makes them very stressed.
Mrs. Liu was worried before whether Wei Yan's salary could support the flowers in the mansion, whether the servants of the Wei family took over the work of these servants, and whether they could take good care of Wei Yan, but now, the old Marquis Wei also realized that That's it.
Once the Wei family took over, the son's living conditions plummeted. Even if the son had no complaints, the people in the palace
The fourth entrance, besides the main courtyard where his father lived, the small courtyards on the left and right roads can also be used for people, that's what he said.
"The courtyard on the east side is very close, but isn't it a little smaller?" Mrs. Liu glanced at it, thought about it, and felt that something was wrong.
The courtyard in the side courtyard is not as big as the one on the middle road. There are a lot of waiters around Minwen. Liu is worried that if he lives in the side courtyard, it will be too crowded for so many people to live in.
"Grandson lives in the outer courtyard, so he doesn't need so many people around him. It's enough to have a few servants to serve him close by." Wei Minwen continued to make persistent efforts and continued to speak.
In Zhongyonghou's Mansion, Wei Minwen and his cousin Wei Minshi lived in the main courtyard with their grandparents. A bunch of Yingying and swallows circled around him all day long, which made him a little dizzy. If he lived in the outer courtyard, he would I definitely don't need so many people around me.
"How can this be done? You are only ten years old. Even if you live in a yard alone, you can't lose people around you. We'd better choose a bigger yard." Shi Liu shook her head, rejecting his request.
This Marquis of Yongning, with the front house and the small yard in the back garden, more than 20 yards, large and small, will definitely not fail to pick out a suitable place for the eldest son to live in, wronged the eldest son, and made him feel uncomfortable.
"The old lady is very true. Please don't worry, the old lady. Lord Hou has prepared the residence of the prince long ago. This servant girl will lead you to have a look. You will definitely agree after seeing it." The servant who led the way, Said very courteously.
It was the first time for Marquis Yongning to come to this mansion yesterday, and he didn't even bother with his own residence, so it is absolutely impossible to prepare the residence of the prince early.
However, if the servant didn't say that, how could he still say that this is the residence appointed by the emperor to the prince?
No matter how much the emperor loves Marquis Yongning in private, as long as the emperor doesn't let their relationship pass the Ming road, the emperor should not interfere with such trivial matters in Marquis Yongning's mansion, so the servants pushed all these matters to Marquis Yongning.
As for the servant who was in charge of the flowers and trees just now, it is a similar thing to insist that the old lady accept those pots of famous chrysanthemums.
Yesterday evening, after supper, the emperor and Marquis Yongning enjoyed chrysanthemums in the yard and digested food by the way.
The emperor admired the various famous chrysanthemums in the courtyard for a while, commented on them, and then asked everyone what they thought.
In the past, if the emperor asked such a question, the servants around him would have already stepped forward to make fun of him, trying their best to make the emperor happy.
But today, the one who was following the emperor was Yongninghou, and the people who were serving them naturally would not take the emperor's words at will, they just waited for Yongninghou to make the emperor happy.
The Marquis of Yongning is neither stupid nor stupid, so he must understand what to say at such a time.Moreover, he has been with the emperor for many years, if he needs someone else to teach him how to answer this kind of question, he doesn't need to serve in front of the emperor anymore.
Sure enough, as everyone expected, Marquis Yongning said very seriously that it was very good.
The emperor asked him again without any new ideas, what is so good about it?
Everyone was waiting for Marquis Yongning to answer in embarrassment: I don't understand these things.
However, contrary to the expectations of everyone present, Yongning Hou actually tasted these chrysanthemums seriously this time from the perspectives of color, shape, and shape. I learned this rhetoric.
The emperor obviously didn't expect that the Marquis of Yongning would answer like this. He was stunned for a moment, glanced at Marquis Yongning, and then said leisurely, "Aiqing must like it very much when she speaks so eloquently. How about reciting a poem in public? Express your love for me?"
"Your Majesty..." Marquis Yongning got stuck when he heard the words. He couldn't speak for a long time, and he could only admit honestly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The remarks I made just now are trying to catch people's teeth. I don't understand these things."
Seeing that things had finally returned to the normal routine, the emperor laughed. He was not angry with Yongning Hou, but instead ordered his servants to pick out a few pots of chrysanthemums and send them to Zhongyonghou's mansion in the name of Yongning Hou to show to the old lady. In order not to put it here, no one will know and cherish the flowers, and it will be a waste of precious things.
This is the whole process of Yongning Hou coaxing the emperor to be happy.
Anyway, no matter how Yongninghou tried to make the emperor happy, as far as the final result is concerned, the emperor was indeed very happy. Even if others witnessed this scene, they couldn't help but be stunned, hating the injustice in their hearts, but the emperor just felt happy. No matter how inconceivable others find it, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Master Zhongguan, are we going to the inner courtyard?" Seeing the servant leading the way, they turned a corner and headed north, Liu could not help asking.
"Yes, the old lady has good eyesight. Master Hou said that the son is the future heir of the Yongning Hou Mansion, and there is absolutely no reason to live in a side courtyard. As for the main courtyard, Master Hou has already lived in the fourth entrance, so the son should live in the second courtyard." Come in five." The servant led them into the hanging flower gate, and said as they walked, "This yard is big and spacious, and it is also close to the residence of Lord Hou. Madam, do you think it makes sense?"
The servant remembered that the emperor's original words were like this.
As for whether the emperor really thought so in his heart, he still felt that it would be more convenient for the emperor to live in the backyard than letting the prince live in the side courtyard.
Anyway, if it is said that the emperor has bad intentions towards Yongning Hou Shizi and wants to do something to him, then it should not be possible. However, if the emperor will take care of the son, he must arrange his residence carefully and properly. For fear of wronging him somewhere, that is definitely overthinking.
The emperor was afraid that the person who would be wronged had always been the Marquis of Yongning, and the others were just the emperor's Aiwujiwu.
They talked all the way, and soon entered the courtyard of the fifth entrance.
There is not much difference in layout between this courtyard and the fourth courtyard. It is indeed as big and spacious as the servant said. Moreover, there is a gate for the courtyard and a gate for hanging flowers. Compared with living in the outer courtyard, Mrs. Liu feels more at ease.
The only disadvantage is that if you live here, you need to walk a little longer to go to the main courtyard than to live in the fourth side courtyard, but it is not that far in reality. Compared with other benefits, this It's a little inconvenient, but it's not really a big disadvantage.
"Old madam, go in and have a look. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, bring it up together. There are some places in this house that just need to be changed. This time, we will make changes together. After a few days, the prince will be able to move in." The servant took them, wearing Cross the yard and go to the main room.
There was nothing to talk about in the main hall, it was neatly arranged, Mrs. Liu entered the living room on the east side, took a closer look, nodded with satisfaction, and even had an inexplicable feeling in her heart that her son had finally grown up.
Regardless of whether he arranged these rooms by himself, or ordered others to arrange them, just by looking at the decorations, you can tell that he has put a lot of thought into it this time.The furnishings in these rooms are very suitable for ten-year-old children, with both style and childishness.
"Old Madam, let's take a look at the study room. Master Hou can't remember exactly which books the prince has read, so he only prepared some Mongolian books. If the prince needs other books, please write a list, and the servants will help you collect them." The servant led everyone to the study.
Compared with Yongninghou's study, the prince's study is less solemn and more lively. Whether it's the hangings on the wall or the decorations on the case, as always, it still has a childlike style.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhongguan, but I really don't need to bother too much. These books are enough for me to read for a long time." Wei Minwen glanced at the bookshelf, and saw that there were only some blind books on them, and thanked the servant for his kindness .
"My maidservant's name is Chang Sheng. From now on, there will be servants from the palace. If the prince needs anything, you can ask someone to tell this maidservant. The servant girl will definitely help the prince to look carefully." This servant named Chang Sheng , and said courteously.
Chang Sheng was not someone who served the emperor personally.
The emperor's side was crowded with people. Unless the emperor caught his eye and the emperor called his name directly and ordered him to serve him, it would not be easy to squeeze in.The so-called one radish and one hole, if he wants to occupy someone else's hole, there will naturally be a radish that has already occupied the position, which is not pleasing to the eye and squeezes him out.
The Marquis of Yongning's side was also crowded with people, and to go to the Marquis of Yongning's side to serve him personally, the first thing he had to see was the emperor's eyes. The difficulty was on the same level as squeezing to the emperor's side.
However, beside Yongning Hou Shizi, he will not be able to squeeze in, right?
As long as he pleases the prince, he wins the Marquis Yongning's favor, that is, he wins the emperor's favor. Chang Sheng has already discovered this winding road.
Now, he is so attentive, he obviously wants to take the curve road to save the country.
However, if he wants to achieve his goal, he still has to see if the other party is willing to cooperate.
Wei Minwen was not educated in an ordinary way since he was a child, and he experienced a death situation, but in the end he narrowly escaped, some things naturally felt different, compared with children of the same age, he thought a little too much.
His father, Marquis of Yongning, from the obvious point of view, because he had shared life and death with the emperor, and was loyal to the emperor for many years, so he was extremely trusted by the emperor, and the emperor would keep him in the palace from time to time.
This is the information he has collected these days, but he always feels that something is wrong, but he doesn't know what is wrong.
Inference from common sense, all this seems normal.
No matter whether the emperor grants a mansion, property, or promotion, it is the king's love for his subjects, which seems really normal.
The only abnormality is probably that there are more servants in this house now.However, as long as the servants of the Wei family took over immediately, everything would be justified.
It is said that this house was built under the supervision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.When other courtiers build houses, the emperor usually uses the Ministry of Industry, but this is not a big problem. Anyway, it is rewarded by the emperor. Whether it is built by the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Ministry of Industry is actually a matter of where the money comes from. Well, the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually has to be counted on the royal family's expenses.
However, the whole world belongs to the emperor, and there is no essential difference.
Besides, it is very likely that the emperor has no reason, that is, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be used smoothly, so that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will supervise the construction of the house.
Sometimes, for the superior, it may be just an unintentional action with no other meaning, but the speculator wants to add various meanings for him. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
To Wei Minwen, these things are not surprising, but it is strange that these servants are so attentive to them now.
Logically speaking, the people around the emperor should be respected by everyone else, and they would rely on their own status and would not be humbled easily. Once they left the palace, they represented the face of the emperor.
If some people want to save their face at will, if the emperor suspects that this person is making use of the topic, but actually trying to save the emperor's face, it will be troublesome.
However, although Wei Minwen felt strange in his heart, he didn't say anything.No matter what the other party's purpose is, no matter what strange things are in it, if he looks slowly, he will find out naturally, there is no need to be too anxious.
"Then I would like to thank Chang Zhongguan for taking care of me." He smiled shyly, like a real ten-year-old boy, and thanked Chang Zhongguan earnestly.
"Old madam, what do you think of this place?" After getting in touch with Yongning Hou Shizi, Chang's servant turned to old madam Wei again and asked her opinion.
Marquis Yongning attaches great importance to his family, whether it is his parents, brothers, or nephews, he will take it to heart, and the servants in Chang'an want to save the country with curves, so naturally he will not let go of the opportunity to please Mrs. Wei.
Liu knew why he was so courteous, but if she was so courteous from the servant, she would definitely not do that.
There is naturally a reason for the constant servant to do this, and without thinking too much, he knows that it has something to do with the palace.If it's just a convenient thing, she believes that with her son's nature, even if the servants don't show this kindness, if something happens, the son will not be stingy with giving convenience, but for other things, she doesn't want her son Too much meddling.
Around the emperor, there are taboos everywhere, because in that place, every move involves power and interests, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a power struggle.What's more, the emperor used bloody methods to gather power, so he might be more taboo about some things than other kings.
Once the son manages too much, stretches his hands too long, violates the emperor's taboo, and separates himself from the emperor for the sake of others, the gain outweighs the loss.
If Mrs. Liu easily accepts the favor of Chang's servant today, she will probably need her son to repay the favor. She doesn't want her son to be involved too deeply in the palace affairs, so she definitely won't hold him back.
Along the way, her conversations with these servants have always been polite, and there has been no real talk between you and me doing Tai Chi, which is why.
However, looking left and right, Mrs. Liu was quite satisfied with this courtyard.
"Chang Zhongguan is bothering you. Everything here is good and there is no need to change it. Minwen, how about you just move here?" Mrs. Liu nodded in approval of this courtyard, and then asked Wei Minwen's opinion.
"But it's up to grandma to decide." Wei Minwen didn't have much opinion on where to live.
Since this courtyard was designated by his father and approved by his grandmother, he naturally nodded in agreement.
"Old madam, son, Master Hou invites you to the main courtyard, and lunch is about to begin." They were talking, and another servant came to pass the news.
Mrs. Liu looked up at the sun, sure enough, the sun was about to move to the mid-heaven, and it was indeed getting late.
She nodded, and led Wei Minwen and the maids out of the inner courtyard to the main courtyard.
In the hall of the main courtyard, Old Master Wei sat in the main seat and was admiring a strange stone decoration placed on the coffee table at hand.Wei Yan sat on his lower head, holding a teacup, drinking tea leisurely.
Seeing the mother and son coming in, he stood up, called "Mother", walked quickly to the door, held the other arm of the mother, and sent her to the side of the father, and waited for her to sit safely before holding his son hand, and walked down.
Wei Minwen didn't notice it for a while, but he grabbed his hand, and then, something was wrong with him.He followed his father, and after only a few steps, he couldn't help getting up together.
Fortunately, there was only a few steps away from the main seat to the lower seat, so no one noticed that he had made a fool of himself just now.
Wei Yan didn't know about this, he walked to the seat, turned around and looked at his son, his son was raising his body, his figure was a little thin, but he had already started to grow taller, he hadn't seen him for a few days, he seemed to have grown taller again , and now his head is almost reaching his armpits.
He sat down, pulled his son in front of him, carefully looked at him a few times, and felt that his son's figure seemed a little too thin, so he wondered whether he should let him practice martial arts to strengthen his body.
Their Wei family started with military exploits, and all the children in the clan are proficient in horse bows and horses. If the son is too out of gregarious, I am afraid that the brothers will not be able to get along too harmoniously.
Seeing that he himself is about to get busy, he may not be able to supervise his son's martial arts practice all the time, but he has several senior brothers, and they have a good relationship with each other. There should be some idlers among them. Please come over and teach Minwen a few times. Years, shouldn't be a problem.
"Father..." Wei Minwen felt even more strange after seeing him these few times.
He wanted to break free from the hand being held, but felt that he shouldn't do so.But being held by someone like this really made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Since he was a child, he has only been so close to his mother, and he has always kept an appropriate distance from other adult men because of their different identities.
But the person in front of him, whether it is true or not, is his father. It is absolutely natural for a father to want to get close to his son. What kind of reason should he use to refuse his father's close action?
Or just say, he is already an adult, shouldn't his father treat him like a child?
Wei Minwen turned his mind and finally came up with such an idea.
However, at the age of ten years old, it seems reasonable to say that it is not too old or too young to be held by his father.If he was a few years older, he could have justly refused.
Various thoughts were spinning in Wei Minwen's mind, and he felt extremely awkward, but he could only reluctantly let his father hold hands.
Fortunately, soon a servant came in with tea and relieved him, so that he could not bear it on the spot and did something rude.
"Sit down." After Wei Yan finished looking at it, he let his son sit beside him, then pointed to the teacup that had just been brought in, and said, "Minwen, this is the sweet soup I specially prepared for you, try it Try it, does it suit your taste?"
"Okay, father." Wei Minwen picked up the teacup, lifted the lid, and took a sip carefully.
The taste of this sweet soup is not bad, but he doesn't like sweets very much, so it's hard to say whether he likes it or not.Of course, he didn't need to speak so clearly about this kind of thing, so he didn't say anything, and took another sip.
"Minwen, don't you like it? If you don't like it, don't drink it." Wei Yan kept looking at him while he was drinking the sweet soup, seeing him taking a sip of the sweet soup, his eyebrows remained motionless, unlike those children who love sweets, As long as he took a sip, Mei Feng would be completely relieved, thinking that he might not like it.
Isn't it said that children like sweets?Why doesn't Minwen like him?He thought a little sadly.
"It's okay." Wei Minwen was required since he was a child to keep his emotions out of the way. Besides, compared to his father holding his hand just now when he was in a state of discomfort, drinking sweet soup would not make him lose his composure on the spot.
Wei Yan saw that although he didn't like the reaction, he didn't have a disgusting reaction, so he put this matter aside and talked about other things.
"Minwen, father will help you find a master and practice martial arts for a few years, what do you think?" Although Wei Yan felt that his son's body was too thin and needed to practice, he felt that he was a very reasonable father, so he asked his son first. Views.
"Father, my son doesn't like to practice martial arts." Wei Minwen didn't think that, as a dude, he still had to be proficient in martial arts.
For a creature like a dandy, all he needs to do is learn how to eat, drink and have fun. He won't bully men and women, so he doesn't need much martial arts.
"It's not about how well you practice, just ride a horse and draw a bow, it won't be very hard." The son's tone of voice was so natural, Wei Yan's voice became a little weak.
The son wandered outside and suffered a lot. He just came back to him. Instead of busying himself with recuperating his body, he just wanted to let him practice martial arts. Doesn't this seem like a qualified father?
Wei Yan seriously reflected on his behavior, and felt even more guilty.
"The child can ride a horse and draw a bow." Wei Minwen also learned a little kung fu from his mother when he was a child.Of course, his little kung fu is the kung fu of a three-legged cat.
Compared with ordinary people, his skills are still strong. If he meets a real master, such as his father, he will just deliver food.
However, his mother once said that he was born to be rich and honorable, and he only needed to be able to ride a horse and draw a bow.
Moreover, the so-called those who work hard rule others, and those who work hard rule others.If he wants to live a good life, he should try to be a laborer instead of a laborer.
Wei Minwen thought back then that his mother said this because he was the posthumous son of King You. Now that he thought about his mother's words carefully, he found that the identity of the son of the Marquis of Yongning was probably more in line with what his mother said.
No matter whether he is the posthumous child of King You, as long as he dares to use this identity to show up in public, he will be hunted down by the court. Once he becomes a prisoner, how can he be rich?
However, the identity of Yongning Hou Shizi is different.Marquis Yongning is deeply favored by the emperor. As his son, he can expect wealth and happiness. He doesn't even need to do anything, and he can live a good life only relying on his father's shade.
However, Wei Minwen has always been full of doubts about this matter.
If it is said that he is not of the Wei family's blood, and the Wei family had no choice but to recognize him in order to exonerate the Marquis of Yongning, then there is no need for the Wei family to do such a thing as inviting him to be the crown prince.Even if it is still on the cusp and everyone is staring at the Wei family, it is not easy for the Wei family to throw him in any corner and let him disappear slowly, but there is really no need to do unnecessary things.
Once he became the eldest son conferred by the imperial court, his name would be rectified, and it would be very difficult for the Wei family to overthrow him whether he wanted to or not.
A family like the Wei family would not confuse blood relationship at all. Even if the Marquis of Yongning lacked heirs, there were many nephews who could adopt him, and there was absolutely no way to take advantage of others.
If it is said that he is really the flesh and blood of Marquis Yongning, there are many doubts in it.Don't say much about other things, just say one thing, his mother never told him that he is the heir of Yongninghou.
Wei Minwen actually had a lot to say, and wanted to ask his mother, but his mother disappeared before the officers and soldiers caught them.
In the past, she would disappear for a while from time to time, so that Wei Minwen didn't take her disappearance seriously.That night, before leaving, she came to tell him that she was going to do something so that he would not have to be afraid. She had arranged everything, and no matter what happened, he would be safe and sound.
Wei Minwen originally thought she would come back soon, but he didn't expect that there would be no news of her going. Later, when he was waiting to die in prison, he became the flesh and blood of Marquis Yongning for no reason. In the end, she made up a story that was basically nonsense, and finally said that she had passed away, and even her tablet was placed in the ancestral hall of the Wei family.
There were so many lies in this matter that Wei Minwen didn't know what to believe.However, none of the smart people in the Wei family said anything about this matter, as if the story his father made up was really similar.
As for his father, in the past two months, Wei Minwen didn't spend much time with him, but just a few times of contact, he found that his father was stable and capable on the surface, but in fact he was about to change from time to time. Success is not in the situation, but this man who is often not in the situation is now the hope of the Wei family. Wei Minwen sometimes thinks about it, and feels that the Wei family may be doomed.
Sometimes he was in a panic, and he really wanted to tell people about these things, but he had to pretend to be stupid, and he didn't want people to know, in fact, he knew a lot of things.
As for the fact that some people treat him like a child from time to time and try to curry favor with him with childish things, to be honest, he feels stupid just looking at him.
Now, his words clearly left his father speechless. For some reason, seeing this situation, he was secretly happy.
"Does Minwen like reading? Why don't father hire a famous teacher for you to teach you to study for a few years?" Wei Yan pondered for a while, and when one move failed, he made another one.
He doesn't know many celebrities himself, but Brother Qi knows many celebrities. As long as he has the cheek to ask Brother Qi to help introduce a teacher, Brother Qi will definitely not refuse.
For the sake of his son's academic success, Wei Yan didn't want to have face when he didn't need it.
"Children don't like reading." Wei Minwen suddenly discovered that his father seemed to be quite talkative, so he couldn't help but want to test his father, where is the bottom line of tolerance for him?
"Then what does Minwen want to do in the future?" Wei Yan's parents have worried him since he was a child, even now, his parents are still worrying about him, and some people want to carry him in their pockets, so that they can feel at ease.
However, he felt that he was a father now, and he had to learn to worry about his son, so even if his son planned to fail in writing, he was not angry, but asked patiently about his son's plan.
"I'll just be a dandy who eats and waits to die, can't I?" Wei Minwen asked seriously.
"Minwen, are you serious?" Wei Yan looked at him hesitantly.
He vaguely felt that his son was joking, but when he said this, his expression and tone were very serious, and it didn't seem like he was joking casually.
"Of course my son is serious." This is the real reason why Wei Minwen felt that his father was not in the situation.
In the current situation, he really can't express himself more, and it's safest to be a dude obediently.After all, there are many doubts about this matter. They themselves have not fully believed it, but they expect others to believe it. Is this thinking that others are stupid?
He ate, drank and played for a while, and waited until everyone's eyes stopped paying attention to this matter, and it was too late to talk about other things.Did his father really not understand these principles, or was he just pretending to be stupid?
Listening to their conversation, Liu couldn't help but smile.
Minwen faced them, after all, he lived so cautiously because he was separated by a layer, but blood dissolves in water, so he didn't have so many scruples when facing his father.
"What's wrong with being a dandy? Haven't you been a dandy for so many years? It means that you have grown up a little now that you are older, but only a little bit. It's not your turn to despise the dandy." Wei Laohou The father gave his son a sideways look and helped his grandson. He said in and out of his words that his grandson, even if he aspires to be a rich man, is awesome.
"Father, the child is not such a dandy." Wei Yan felt a little guilty when he said this, and his voice gradually became lower and lower.
When he was young, he really disliked that some things were too troublesome, and some things did not seek to make progress. This is true, but didn't he work hard to make progress later?Does the old man need to settle this old account with his son in front of his son?
"Aren't you guilty of saying that?" Wei Lao Hou Ye is the kind of person who has a grandson and can not have a son. Between the son and the grandson, he must help the grandson.
"Okay, okay, Yan'er is a big man now, Master Hou, you can save him some face in front of Minwen. According to me, Minwen is not in a hurry to study and practice martial arts now, he should take care of his body first, and after a few years Let's talk about it later." Liu interrupted.
She said that not because she doted on her grandson, but because her grandson had just recognized him, and the rumors had not completely dissipated. It was really not suitable to be high-profile now, so as not to attract the attention of others to her grandson.
"Your mother is quite right. It's okay to be a dandy, it's no big deal." Wei Lao Hou knew what Liu's meaning was, and chimed in.
Ever since the Wei family recognized Min Wen, and since the emperor made Min Wen the son of a prince, many people have had a lot of thoughts on this matter. Ever since Old Master Wei knew some of the thoughts of others, he often couldn't help but find it funny.
If Minwen is really the remnant of King You, the emperor would have sent him down to see King You.
There was a battle for the throne between the emperor and King You.Even though the emperor was still young at that time and couldn't remember the turbulent waves during that time, the empress dowager probably still remembers the feeling of constant panic and will definitely remind the emperor often.
Later, there was the "Against the King Case". The emperor had experienced a life-and-death catastrophe in the hunting ground. If he was a little careless that day, the emperor would probably go to see the late emperor. How could he easily forget this enmity?
Thinking that the emperor would leave blood for Youwang, let Youwang's heirs enjoy the glory and wealth, and bring all kinds of hidden dangers to the country, Youwang dare not have such a dream, but others want to guess like this, it is too naive.
Moreover, the ins and outs of this Remnant of King You are full of doubts. As far as Old Master Wei thinks, it may be a trap from beginning to end, and those real Remnants of You King will fall into it.
Then after this matter is speculated, there are only two possibilities left, one is that Minwen is the blood of the Wei family, and the other is that Minwen is a person who has nothing to do with King You and the Wei family.
There are indeed a lot of doubts in this, even if the blood is used to recognize relatives, the emperor can play tricks, and the truth is probably the emperor who knows best.However, what the emperor will do in this matter can also give a glimpse of the emperor's mind.
An old fox like Wei Lao Hou analyzed this matter from a political point of view, and directly ruled out the possibility that Min Wen was the remnant of King You, and then analyzed the remaining two possibilities from an emotional point of view.
The more the emperor valued Yan'er, the more the old Marquis Wei realized that Minwen should really be his son's flesh and blood, because with the emperor's attitude, even if Yan'er had no heir, when the emperor planned to select a son for Yan'er to inherit the Yongning Hou Mansion, he would not It will definitely be carefully selected, and a suitable person will be selected to be the heir. It is absolutely impossible to randomly catch a person and let that person be the heir of the Yongninghou Mansion.
Besides, in this matter, Yan'er himself never doubted that Min Minwen was not his child, and those people who doubted him blindly must be worrying blindly.
No matter what reason Yan'er is based on, he firmly believes in this matter. As ancestors, it is enough to trust him. There is no need to worry about this matter.
If Old Master Wei knew that the reason why Wei Yan believed so deeply was because he felt that the emperor was so kind to him and would definitely not lie to him about this kind of thing, Old Master Wei might be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Of course, the possibility of the emperor deceiving people in this matter exists. Wei Yan, a silly boy, believes what the emperor said so easily. He is really not afraid that he will be sold by the emperor one day. Are you still counting the money for him?
Fortunately, Old Master Wei didn't know the cause and effect, so he could still be so sure.
Of the four people present, three agreed, and one objected. The person who opposed was not good at speaking, and he was ashamed to act like a baby to his parents in front of his son, so as to achieve his goal.
Therefore, even if Wei Yan himself is a dandy, but hopes that his son will become a dragon, and doesn't want his son to be a dandy, it can't change Wei Minwen's decision to be this dandy in the future.
Perhaps, this is another sense of inheritance from the father.
"Master Hou, it's almost time, isn't it time to set the meal?" Fu Xiang listened carefully to the voices in the hall, he had already come to an end, he walked to the door and asked.
"Okay, let's let someone set the meal." Wei Yan looked at the time and nodded in agreement.
The dining place in the main courtyard is placed in the first room on the east side.
Seeing Hou Yongning nodded, Fu Xiang signaled to the outside to start serving the dishes.The meals here are all made in a small kitchen, with a light and delicate style.
One reason for doing this is that Wei Laohou and the old lady are getting older, and for the sake of their health, the meals should be lighter.The second reason is that there are many taboos in Yongninghou's meal, this one cannot be eaten, that one cannot be used, and the final meal presented must be a bit bland.
But as long as you have the heart, you can carve a carrot into a flower.Marquis Yongning's meals can't be varied in taste and variety, but the quality of the ingredients can be refined, and the cooking techniques need to be honed even more.
The small kitchen in the Weiyan Courtyard selects the cooks according to these requirements, and the finished product presented in the end is naturally very particular.
It is not that Wei Laohou and Liu Shi have never seen the world, but looking at these refined meals and these imperial dishes, it is probably the first time that they have an intuitive impression of how much their son is favored by the emperor. .
After all, in the past, although the emperor rewarded this and that, he would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Zhongyonghou Mansion. Old Master Wei and the Liu family naturally did not know what kind of life Wei Yan lived in the palace.
Now, they finally have an intuitive experience of this, but this experience makes them very stressed.
Mrs. Liu was worried before whether Wei Yan's salary could support the flowers in the mansion, whether the servants of the Wei family took over the work of these servants, and whether they could take good care of Wei Yan, but now, the old Marquis Wei also realized that That's it.
Once the Wei family took over, the son's living conditions plummeted. Even if the son had no complaints, the people in the palace
