Chapter 96 What if you're not around someday?
The marriage of the youngest daughter of the Wei family to Li Changsheng, who was deprived of his status as a scholar, naturally caused a stir. The two were originally a couple of gods and gods who were well-known in ten miles and eight towns. They thought that Li Changsheng's misfortune would ruin this marriage, and everyone was waiting for the Wei family to throw stones at the Li family.
However, it didn't work out. Wei Xi entered Li's house with a red veil. There was no dowry, no banquet, and none of the relatives and friends were present, and they even walked to Li's house by themselves.
Although this kind of behavior made many people beat their chests secretly, everyone on the surface couldn't stop talking. At least for the sake of their own face, talented scholars can only vigorously praise this kind of behavior.
Naturally, the contempt and jealousy towards Li Changsheng are indispensable.
The uneducated ordinary people don't have that shame, so it's inevitable to ridicule them secretly.
Li Changsheng's home is a small courtyard with a wall, a total of three rooms, kitchen, hall, and master bedroom. There is a jujube tree and a well in the yard.
This is the wedding room prepared by Li Changsheng. The house is neither too big nor too small, and it can be regarded as an upper-middle level in the local area.
Li Changsheng's family has several generations of poor peasants, but he has been a scholar for so many years, and he is still a well-known child prodigy. Of course, there is no shortage of money. This small courtyard was built early, and it was not the first time Wei Xi came here.
Besides being unable to stay overnight due to etiquette, Wei Xi often comes to this small courtyard, and naturally knows the inside very well, so he didn't feel strange when he suddenly changed places to live.
"Husband, this is my craft."
Wei Xi put a plate of charred dishes on the table, and looked at Li Changsheng expectantly. Li Changsheng naturally bite the bullet and ate it, and then said with a smile: "It's delicious, it's really delicious. I didn't expect Xi'er to cook other dishes besides red bean porridge."
"Really?"
Wei Xi was full of joy, picked it up and put it in her mouth, a burning smell hit her brain, almost made her spit it out.
"Ouch! It's so unpalatable, husband, you lied to me!"
In a fit of rage, Wei Xi rushed over. After getting married, without the constraints of etiquette, she could hug Li Changsheng like she did when she was a child.
A woman's fragrance came rushing towards his face, Li Changsheng was already prepared, he grabbed Wei Xi's hand with his backhand and hugged him in his arms. Wei Xi, as a lady of the family, has never done any farm work since she was a child. It can be said that she is light and soft, so she doesn't have much strength.
Li Changsheng was like hugging a cloud, soft and light.
"How dare you sneak up on your husband, let's see how I deal with you."
Li Changsheng picked up Wei Xi and walked into the bedroom. When he threw her on the bed, his face, which was still a little angry just now, suddenly became pitiful, like a sheep.
"Husband, it's not in accordance with the etiquette. It's early in the morning, what if we are found out. How about you first in the evening?"
"There is no one around our house, it is very quiet."
It was approaching noon, and the sun was shining on their buttocks. The two of them hadn't gotten up yet, lying quietly on the bed and looking at the ceiling, their bodies and minds were ethereal.
Li Changsheng entered the state of a sage, while Wei Xi blushed and kept talking about being impolite.
Wei Xi suddenly asked: "My husband escaped death this time."
Such a weird and sudden problem makes people puzzled, but Wei Xi can feel that Li Changsheng is not so much a downfall at this time, it is more like a survivor. Recalling his previous resistance to the imperial examination, he repeatedly failed the exam, which was obviously deliberate.
Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "You can say that."
"Why?"
"A tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." Li Changsheng replied, "I thought that as long as I showed enough talent, I would be able to climb all the way up. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I was so naive that I almost lost my life."
He performed too well and showed his sharpness too much. He was envied by others and almost attacked in groups. At the same time, he also understands that no matter how much talent he shows, he can't match his family status. Those high-ranking masters will not look at themselves because of this, but think about how to tame themselves and tame themselves into a dog.
A few years ago, when he passed the scholar examination, the county guard interviewed him and wanted Li Changsheng to marry him.
The Wei family didn't dislike him for being poor, so naturally he wouldn't despise him when he soared into the sky.
The sheriff expressed regret, with a meaningful smile on his face, which Li Changsheng didn't understand until later.
In the first provincial examination, for some reason, his essay was smeared with ink and regarded as unqualified.
In the second provincial examination, I failed for the same reason.
The sheriff once again invited him into the mansion, intending to marry his daughter to him, but Li Changsheng refused again.
Outsiders seem to be close, but in fact only he understands the filth.
After this, Li Changsheng naturally knew who did the trick, but he was a grassroots man who could do nothing in the face of the county guard. He had to give in or return home. In the end, he chose to return home, and thus escaped unharmed.
This reminded him of the "Zhuangzi Mountain Tree" he read in his previous life. There is a sentence in it: When you live among wood and geese, there should be a change of dragon and snake.
It means that a gentleman should be between talent and lack of talent, advance when he should advance, and retreat when he retreats. When the right time comes, you can fly thousands of miles like a dragon and breathe out clouds; when the environment does not allow it, you can hide in the grass like a snake, lower your posture, and embrace the ordinary.
To be too sharp is not a good thing.
Li Changsheng slowly told what he had experienced, and Wei Xi listened carefully. The little girl had obviously never experienced the darkness of the officialdom, and finally shrank back into the quilt when she heard it.
"Husband, what should I do if this kind of thing happens to me in the future?"
Wei Xi hugged Li Changsheng slightly, looking a little uneasy.
"It's okay, you can rely on me."
"What if you're not around someday?"
"Oh, there will always be unexpected situations." Wei Xi gave Li Changsheng a slap, "When you went to the township examination, I was not and I was not by your side. Until just now, you kept me in the dark."
She has always been a very bright woman, and obviously she will not be fooled like this.
The more he talked, the more angry he became, Wei Xi took a bite at Li Changsheng's shoulder.
"You can't hide it from me in the future."
Li Changsheng felt a little pain, looked at Wei Xi whose cheeks were puffed up with anger, and said, "I'll tell you everything from now on."
"Remember one sentence, you should be among wood and geese, when there is a change of dragon and snake. The more you are in danger, the less impulsive you are, and you must be patient, patient and patient."
"How long will you endure?"
"Until you can blow everything up."
—
In the middle of the night, Wei Xi suddenly opened his eyes, his breathing was a little dazed.
"Dream?" Wei Xi clutched his chest, his hands slightly clenched tightly on the collar, and he didn't let go until there was a slight cracking sound.
She hasn't had a dream for a long time, and it's a pity that it was a dream.
Get off the bed, walk into the bathroom, stand in front of the sink and slap water on your face again and again, raise your head and look at yourself in the mirror, the throbbing in your eyes is still lingering.
It was like a nightmare, accompanying me for thousands of years.
A sense of depression welled up in her heart, almost suffocating her. Fortunately, she has rich experience in dealing with this symptom, she only needs to enter the army and suppress all emotions.
There was a red light in the eyes, and quickly infected the entire pupil, and the throbbing that was out of her control was also suppressed.
Wei Xi sat on the chair, and then sat there quietly without any unnecessary movements. The scene outside the window gradually brightened with time, until the sun slightly exposed half of it, and there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
The door opened with a click, and Tang Ke walked in, standing at attention and saluting.
"My lord, the people you wanted to thoroughly investigate yesterday have all been secretly arrested and are currently waiting for your interrogation."
During the conflict with Rome, the Qin army was short of supplies for a period of time. As for the reason, it cannot be said publicly, and it belongs to the tradition since ancient times.
Yesterday, the pile of information in Wei Xi's hand was all the people involved. It was really the same as pulling out peanuts. Once pulled out, there were hundreds of people, at least a hundred generals (companies).
Wei Xi said in a majestic and cold voice: "How?"
"After a preliminary soul search, basically all of them participated in it. According to the law, they should be beheaded."
Immediately after Tang Ke's voice changed, he said with some concern: "But these people are intertwined and involve a lot. Sending them to the sergeant's court at one time may cause turmoil, and all parties will also obstruct it."
This kind of thing has always happened, but this time some people are too difficult to eat, which makes the frontline battle tense and even loses. If it weren't for the flying generals who twisted the will of hundreds of thousands of frontline soldiers into one rope and kept the Qin army's high morale, it might not be clear who will win the battle.
And now that the war is over, it's time for liquidation.
Ke Fei will grab everyone at once, and his steps are a bit big, so she is worried that there will be problems.
Wei Xi also saw the assistant's worry, and said, "Xiao Ke, have you read Qi Di's modern novel "The God of Praying for Rain"?"
Tang Ke nodded slightly, and replied: "I've read it a little bit. It tells about a drought-ridden place. There is a witch who specializes in praying for rain. They can ask for rain like a god. They are supreme and omnipotent. The people are also obedient to him. , worship him as a god."
“Until one day, he couldn’t ask for rain, so he fell off the altar and was burned alive.”
Wei Xi pointed to himself and said, "I am the **** who begged for rain now, and I happened to beg for rain, so I want them to die."
The tone was indifferent with a hint of irresistible majesty.
"yes!"
Tang Ke put away all his worries, leaving only firmness. Usually the flying general is very talkative, but once an order is given, no matter who it is, it must be carried out to the end without reservation.
Even if this order is to die, no one dares to disobey it.
This is obedience honed in the flames of war. She and countless soldiers believe that the command of the pilot will eventually lead them to victory.
Tang Ke left the room with the **** storm that was about to start.
When everything quieted down, Wei Xi picked up the pen on the table and wrote another letter. The number of words continued to increase until the paper could not hold it.
She had so much to say that she couldn't fit in the envelope.
A flame engulfed the envelope full of words.
Wei Xi picked up his pen again.
【My Husband’s Personal Invitation】
【Shenzhou has entered winter, please pay attention to keep warm】
I didn't expect it to be later today, so kowtow to apologize!
