Powerful Minister Buddha-like Sweet Wife - Chapter 53
With Zheng Xiang’s words and Wei Hanzhou’s firm attitude, no one said anything.
The matter of catching Wei Hanzhou as his son-in-law is nothing more than that.
However, Wei Hanzhou became famous in the capital because of this incident.
Although courtiers praised him differently, he was admired by the literati circle, and the women liked him very much.
This matter spread to the people after being passed on.
In the process of transmitting the message, it is inevitable that there will be some errors.
Although Wei Hanzhou personally explained the identity of his wife, some people selectively listened to the version they preferred. A few days later, even a storyteller in the restaurant and tea shop began to tell the story of the new scholar and the woman in the brothel that moved the world.
As Wei Hanzhou left Beijing, the people in Beijing began to secretly look forward to the appearance of the champion lady, waiting for the first lady to return to Beijing in January.
Liu Tangxi has not come to the capital yet, her name has been passed down in the homes of the upper-class officials and the common people in the capital.
Wei Hanzhou is still on his way back to Weijia Village. At this moment, Weijia Village is more lively than ever.
As early as the day when Wei Hanzhou was selected as the champion of the new division by the emperor in the palace examination, the news of who the champion was in this session was passed on. As the hometown of No. 1 Yuan Lang, he received the news in the first time.
Wei Hanzhou was delayed in the capital for a few days, so he was still on his way back to Beijing, but the news had already flown to Fucheng, County, Town, and Weijia Village.
Wei Laosan and Li’s had just returned from the town, and they were frightened when they watched the people gathered on the third floor and the third floor outside the doorway.
“What’s wrong, why are so many people?” Li asked anxiously, clutching a woman in the outer circle.
The woman was obviously not from Weijia Village, she was here to join in the fun, and she didn’t know Li’s family. Listening to Li’s question, she immediately smiled and said, “Look at the champion man!”
“Huh? The champion?” Li was very puzzled.
However, I relaxed a little in my heart, thinking, it’s not a problem at home.
With that, Li Shi and Wei Lao San looked at each other, both of them were at a loss.
At this moment, an old man who was about the same age as Wei San said, “Seeing that you are like this, I have heard the news and come to watch the fun? I told you that this Weijia Village is incredible, and this one is even more amazing. A champion!”
Hearing what the old man said, and seeing that the direction the old man was pointing was his own home, Wei Lao San was taken aback and swallowed, and asked, “Zhuang…Zhuangyuan?”
“Yes, Wei Jieyuan got the top pick in the exam.”
Wei Jieyuan… I don’t know how many times he has heard this term recently. Someone still greeted him on the road when he came back today, calling him Jieyuan’s father.
Wei Lao San couldn’t believe what he heard, and his hands gradually shook with excitement.
“After so many years, our mansion finally got a champion, and we are in a county, a town, so close. I really want to see what the champion Lang looks like, and I don’t know if he is at home. “Someone on the side said.
“Aren’t there, Wei Zhuangyuan hasn’t come back yet.” A voice suddenly came out from behind.
Like Wei Lao San, Li was also very excited. Gradually, she came back to her senses, pulled Wei Lao San’s sleeve, and whispered, “Baby his father, did they say that the youngest got the top pick in the third?”
Wei Lao San’s mouth opened slightly nervously just now finally closed, with trembling lips, and said, “Yes…should…should be.”
Li’s eye sockets suddenly turned red, and excitedly grasped Wei Lao San’s sleeves, not knowing what to say.
“How do you know he didn’t come back?” someone in the crowd asked.
“He is from our village. I saw his father earlier this morning, and I haven’t heard of him coming back.”
“Ah, you are from Weijia Village. You must have seen the champion, but I don’t know who the champion is…”
The man was proud of his face. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he said, “Hey, isn’t this the third uncle and the third aunt? Why are you two still standing here? The Annunciation is waiting at your house.”
When the people around heard this, they immediately looked over.
Soon, Wei Lao San and Li’s front gradually became empty, and everyone automatically let out a way, seeing their eyes full of envy.
At this moment, Liu Tangxi is at home to entertain guests with Zhang’s and Zhou’s. Wei Lao San and his wife came back to help them out.
When Wei Hanzhou passed the Jie Yuan test last time, the three families of Wei Lao had already been lively. However, that time Wei Hanzhou had to participate in Chunwei, and everyone was more reserved. This time it was different. Wei Hanzhou had already finished the exam and won the top prize.
Only one champion will be awarded in the whole Dali Dynasty in three years.
And they haven’t seen one in the city for decades.
Not only the three families of Wei Lao are lively, but Weijia Village is also lively. Everyone in the town, county town, and government town is discussing this matter.
According to the Annunciation population, according to the usual practice, the champion scholar will return to his hometown after attending a palace banquet in the palace, and he is already on his way. Go to town to do work.
It’s not that they don’t want to go, because there are so many guests in Weishi’s home, and Liu Tangxi can’t handle them at all.
Moreover, even if they go out now, they will be surrounded by people asking questions about whether they can do anything. It would be better to stay at home for a while and wait until this matter has passed.
After a few days, Wei Hanzhou finally came back with everyone’s expectations.
After returning, he was surrounded by the guests waiting at home.
Wei Hanzhou said hello one by one.
Liu Tangxi was talking to the female relatives in the East Chamber. When Wei Hanzhou came back, the female relatives were even more excited than Liu Tangxi, and they all eagerly walked outside.
On the contrary, Liu Tangxi fell behind.
There were a lot of people in the yard, and Liu Tangxi was standing at the door of the East Chamber, behind the crowd, looking at Wei Hanzhou from a distance.
As if he had a sharp heart, Wei Hanzhou’s gaze turned around and looked at Liu Tangxi outside the crowd.
Liu Tangxi smiled at him.
Wei Hanzhou’s gaze stayed on her for a moment, then turned to look at the person beside her.
For the next whole day, Liu Tangxi couldn’t say a word to Wei Hanzhou.
It wasn’t until Haishi that everyone left, and the three families of Wei Lao returned to calm, and Wei Hanzhou returned to the house.
At this time, Liu Tangxi was already lying on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
She hadn’t seen Wei Hanzhou for several months, and she had been worried at home for fear that he would not be able to return due to some accident. Now seeing him return safely, her floating heart finally fell into place, and her whole body didn’t hold it so much, and relaxed.
She wanted to wait for Wei Hanzhou to come back to talk to him and ask him what happened in the capital, but she waited, but fell asleep unknowingly.
Wei Hanzhou glanced at the two quilts on the bed. The outer bed was folded and placed in the cabinet. Afterwards, he went to bed lightly and opened the bed covered by Liu Tangxi.
At the moment the quilt was lifted, Liu Tangxi slowly opened his eyes. Looking at Wei Hanzhou in front of her, she mumbled “You are back.”
“Well, I’m back.”
Liu Tangxi closed his eyes again, unconsciously drilled into his arms, and his breath became longer again.
Watching Liu Tangxi’s small movements, Wei Hanzhou raised his hand and gently touched her hair, a slight smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Afterwards, he lowered his head and sniffed the smell of her hair. I closed my eyes and fell asleep slowly in the reassuring taste.
In the next few days, Wei Hanzhou has been very busy, busy opening an ancestral hall with the people of the clan to worship the ancestors and so on.
However, his vacation is limited, and he is not a person who likes to show off, so three days later, all the things here have been dealt with.
In this way, Wei Hanzhou will also pack his things and enter Beijing.
From the first day of entering the book, Liu Tangxi knew that she was going back to the capital, and she had expected it.
After all, the moment she opened her eyes, what she saw was the big villain in the book Wei Hanzhou, and this villain looked like she wanted to kill her. In the days that followed, she had been cautiously and tremblingly, for fear that she might provoke him.
She didn’t want to stay here, but out of fear of Wei Hanzhou, she didn’t dare to escape.
But as she got along day after day, she gradually changed her view of him, and she no longer feared and hated him.
Now that the day of returning to Beijing is really coming, she realizes that she doesn’t feel much happy, on the contrary, she feels a lot more reluctant and melancholy.
She didn’t know what was happening in the capital at all, and the men and women in the book were all there.
The original owner bullied the heroine and entangled the hero, and the heroine sold the original owner.
I don’t know what will happen to her when she goes to the capital and returns to the Hou Mansion.
She was not a very intelligent person, and she was soft-hearted, neither would be like the original owner, nor would she be like the heroine. When you really arrive in the back house, don’t you have to be chewed so that you don’t have any bones left?
She really just wants to be delicious and drinkable and comfortable for the whole life.
Hey, why is it so difficult to achieve such a simple requirement?
Thinking of this, Liu Tang’s head was big.
That night, Wei Laosan asked about Wei Hanzhou’s return to Beijing.
“Lao San, when are you going to the capital?” Wei Lao San asked.
“Two days later.” Wei Hanzhou replied.
“So fast.” Li said anxiously.
“Well, the son’s official position has been down, and he has set a date for taking office. If he goes back late, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up.” Wei Hanzhou explained.
Although there is a lot of dissatisfaction with his son in his heart, Wei Laosan still smiled and said, “Well, then leave in two days and don’t delay your work.”
The son is now an official of the imperial court. He seems to be a bit older than their county magistrate. He saw it all that day, and the county magistrate saluted his son.
Wei Lao San felt very proud when he thought that his son was now in official status.
Li is also proud of her son, but her heart is more reluctant to give up his son at the moment.
When he thought of his son coming back to the capital, Li’s eyes were hot, he lowered his head, and quietly touched his tears.
When he raised his head again, Li looked at Liu Tangxi and said, “The third daughter-in-law, please clean up these few days. When the time comes, you will go to the capital with the youngest.”
Liu Tangxi was startled slightly, looked at Wei Hanzhou, looked down, and nodded.
Wei Hanzhou glanced sideways at her.
Because Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi were about to leave, the family cherished the reunion time and said a lot.
It was almost time for Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi to return to the house.
From that day when Wei Hanzhou came back, there was only one quilt left on the bed. At this moment, Liu Tangxi didn’t feel entangled either, and quickly laid the quilt. After washing, Liu Tangxi got into the bed.
Soon, Wei Hanzhou also lay down.
From the moment they entered the room, the two of them did not speak.
After lying on the bed for a long time, Liu Tangxi let out a soft sigh, and Wei Hanzhou finally spoke.
“Lady, is there something on my mind?”
Liu Tangxi had a meal, pursed his lips, and said, “It’s nothing.”
“But… don’t want to go to the capital with your husband?”
Liu Tangxi was startled. She did feel a little complicated about going to the capital, but she didn’t mean to go with Wei Hanzhou.
How could Wei Hanzhou have such an idea?
The first words can’t be explained, and I don’t know how to explain to Wei Hanzhou, but the latter words are easy to say.
“No, it’s just that I’m leaving in two days, and I’m a little bit reluctant to leave them.” She was telling the truth.
When she was talking in the main room just now, she hid in the corner and quietly wiped a few tears.
The irritability of returning to Beijing is one thing, but now, thinking about leaving these familiar people, she feels more reluctant.
Wei Hanzhou responded softly, “Yes.”
“I don’t know how long it will take to come back.” Liu Tangxi sighed.
Wei Hanzhou thought, Weijia Village is so far away from the capital that it is impossible to return to the usual vacation. Therefore, in this life, apart from resigning and returning home, he can’t go back a few times.
He didn’t want to lie to Liu Tangxi, so he changed his method, “If you miss them, just write to them.”
Liu Tangxi sighed.
After spending two years with Li and the others, she really fell in love with them, and she was a little bit reluctant to bear them. She also thought about entering Beijing together as a family. Anyway, she has golden fingers, she will never die from starvation, and maybe even make a fortune. The family will be together happily and will soon be rich.
But what is the situation in Jingcheng now, whether she can save her life is not yet known.
When I look at it, from the perspective of the heroine, the court is not stable. The prince is not a good stubborn, and the third prince is not a weak person, and the emperor is even more faint. He believes Wei Hanzhou, a treacherous official.
The capital is like a dragon pond and tiger lair.
The reason why this can attract her to watch is because the heroine is smart, and despite the great changes in the court, the heroine can resolve them one by one.
But she is not a heroine, even if she has golden fingers, she can’t do anything to be beheaded.
So, she’d better go to the capital to explore the way first, if all the years are quiet, she will take Li and them all over.
Thinking about this, Liu Tangxi faintly replied, “Yes.”
Wei Hanzhou heard that Liu Tangxi was not in a high mood, so he reached out and hugged her, stroked her hair, and said, “Go to sleep.”
Xu Shi Wei Hanzhou’s voice has magical powers, and soon Liu Tangxi forgot his troubles and gradually fell asleep.
In the next two days, Liu Tangxi was not in a good mood, and was a little absent-minded when playing with Fuyao and the others.
Soon, two days passed.
The parting moment came.
Early in the morning, Liu Tangxi woke up early, and after cleaning up, he went to the stove.
At this time, Li and Zhang were cooking on the stove. Seeing her coming, Li smiled and said, “The third daughter-in-law, you are up. You don’t need your help here. Go and see how you and the third child’s things are organized. Already, go and pack up again, don’t leave anything behind. It’s far from the capital, it’s not easy to come and go.”
Listening to Li’s words, Liu Tangxi’s eye sockets suddenly became wet.
Fearing that Li could see the clues, it would only arouse sorrow, Liu Tangxi looked down, sniffed, and said, “Thank you mother for bothering, I’m all packed up.”
After finishing speaking, he eased his emotions and said, “I’ll cook this meal. Today, I will leave with the grandfather. I don’t know when I will come back next time, so let me honor you again.”
Although officials usually have holidays, Weijia Village is far away from the capital. It takes ten days to go back and forth. How can there be such a long holiday.
Therefore, even if it is the Chinese New Year, I am afraid that Wei Hanzhou will not be able to return.
“Hey.” Li sighed, turned around, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and said, “Well, you can do it, I’ll go see the third child.”
After Li went out, Liu Tangxi wiped tears with the kerchief in his sleeve.
Zhang looked at the scene in front of him also very uncomfortable. Although I have only been with Liu Tangxi for about two years, Liu Tangxi has a good temperament and is diligent. The two have never quarreled and have a good relationship.
But she was stupid and didn’t know what to say.
After struggling for a long time, Zhang said, “It’s a happy event for the third brother to go to the capital. Don’t be sad for the third brother and sister.”
Liu Tangxi swallowed and said, “Well, sister-in-law, let’s cook.”
“good.”
Liu Tangxi’s meal is very hearty, with six dishes, one soup, and dumplings.
Although it was plentiful, everyone didn’t eat too much. Wei Laosan drank a few glasses of wine and looked very happy, with a few more layers of folds on his face.
“In a blink of an eye, you have to go to Beijing to become an official. Think about the situation in our family ten years ago, and then look at it now, it’s like a dream. Now that you are promising, it is not in vain to me and your mother, And your brother and sister-in-law have provided you for so many years. Dad is an incompetent, and he doesn’t know a big hand. He can’t do anything except for farming and planting fruit trees. Dad knows that you read a lot and you are a literate person, but, I have to tell you a few words.”
Hearing this, Wei Hanzhou stood up quickly, bent over and stood in front of Wei San.
“Since you have been appointed by the court, you must really do more for the people. When you become an official, the court will pay you a salary. You will never have enough to eat, but you should not give birth. Thoughts that shouldn’t be there. You suffered hardship when you were a child and you know how uncomfortable it is to not have enough to eat. Then you will not be able to collect the people’s money and levy taxes indiscriminately like the previous county magistrate. I heard that the magistrate Going to be a high official? Hey, it can be seen that the above is not clean. Dad does not expect you to clean up the county magistrate. You are alone and have no such skills. But you can at least do not learn from him. The court appointed you to do it. Official, I trust you. You have to be worthy of the court and the people. Be a good official with integrity. Daddy doesn’t want to be pierced in the backbone or dug into his ancestral grave…”
Liu Tangxi bowed his head to grill rice, but couldn’t think about it. If according to what is written, if it is a real world, then the ancestral grave of Wei Hanzhou’s family is probably not known how many times it has been dug up, or how many times its corpse has been whiplashed.
Thinking of this, in the late spring, she actually felt a chilly wind blowing on her back. Suddenly, not daring to think about it anymore, he shook his head quickly.
Next, Wei Lao San talked a lot about it again, if it wasn’t for Li sees that he was drunk and grabbed him, he would have to go on.
“Haha, I’m happy to think that the third child is going to be an official. Now when I go out, everyone calls me champion father and champion father, and everyone respects me.” Wei Lao San said with a smile.
Li’s face blushed when he saw him drinking, and he sipped, “You are also ashamed to say that if you are proud of you, you only know how to teach your son, why don’t you know how to talk about yourself. Don’t be proud and cause trouble for your son.”
Wei Laosan was taken aback, and then he laughed and said, “Yes, your mother is right, I almost made a mistake.”
“Thank you for the teaching.” Wei Hanzhou said solemnly.
“Okay, the third child, eat quickly, the meal will be cold in a while, don’t listen to your dad’s babbling, he will plant a land and know nothing.” Li continued to make up for the knife.
“Although Dad said it plainly, it was a great principle, and his son was taught.” Wei Hanzhou rectified the name of Wei’s third child. After saying that, he said to Li, “My mother’s kindness to nurture the son will definitely not forget. I will keep it in my heart.”
With Wei Hanzhou’s words, Li stopped talking about Wei’s third child, and quickly asked his son to eat more vegetables.
When the meal is over, time will not slow down because of anyone’s reluctance.
After eating dinner for about two quarters of an hour, the uncle in the village next door, who goes to the county town to deliver food every day, drove his cart.
They must first go to town on a cart, and then go directly to Fucheng by boat from the pier in the town, and rent a carriage from Fucheng to the capital.
Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi took out their things and moved them to the cart one by one.
After the move, Liu Tangxi asked Wei Hanzhou to go out first, and she stayed in the east wing alone for a while.
This is the place where she lived for two years, and she has been living here since she came. Thinking that he was about to leave here, and most likely he would never come back in his life, Liu Tangxi couldn’t hold back the tears, and flowed out.
However, she did not dare to cry too much. She noticed the tears flowing down her eyes and swallowed a few times.
Later, after putting the burden on the bed, after looking at the east wing again, Liu Tangxi went out.
As a result, as soon as she left the house, she saw Wei Hanzhou waiting for her at the door.
Didn’t he hear her crying?
Wei Hanzhou pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, “If the lady is reluctant, I will take you back for her husband to take a look.”
Liu Tangxi also knew that this was impossible, so he lowered his eyes and responded softly, “Yes.”
“Let’s go, Uncle is waiting outside.”
“Um.”
Liu Tangxi followed Wei Hanzhou out.
When they arrived at the door, the third Wei family was waiting at the door.
Wei Hanzhou was leaving today. Wei Laosan didn’t tell the villagers, and his family lived at the end of the village, so no one knew about it, and there were not so many people watching.
“Come on, or the boat on the dock leaves, you have to wait another day.” Li urged.
“Yeah.” Wei Hanzhou replied.
However, when Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi were about to go up, Li reluctantly “has the inspection been over, did you forget to bring something?”
“No, I brought them all.”
“Oh, that’s good, that’s good.” Li murmured.
Although his mouth meant to be relieved, there seemed to be some regrets on his face.
Liu Tangxi eased his emotions, raised his head, and looked at Li.
“Mother, take care of your body, your daughter-in-law can no longer perform filial piety in front of you.”
Originally, his emotions had eased, but when he opened his mouth, tears stayed in disobedience.
To her, Li is different from others. She was lucky to meet a life-saver like Li and a mother-in-law who defended her everywhere.
Seeing Liu Tangxi crying, Li couldn’t help it, tears streaming out, and choked up and said, “What are you talking about, you and the third child will give me a fat grandson as soon as possible. Just, I don’t know when I will be there.” Can I show you grandchildren.”
“Why can’t, mother must be able to show the grandson to the three younger siblings, we are all waiting.” Seeing that the atmosphere was too heavy, Zhou Clan spoke from the side.
Liu Tangxi wiped her tears, smiled, and said, “Sister-in-law and second-sister-in-law, take care.”
“Hey, you are fine too.” Zhang said.
Fuyao has been following Liu Tangxi all the time. In the past two years, she has become accustomed to Liu Tangxi by her side. Seeing that Liu Tangxi is about to leave, she can’t help but hug her waist.
“Auntie San, I don’t want you to go. Let Sanshu go alone, OK? You stay with me.”
As he said, he burst into tears.
Shu Lan didn’t give up Liu Tangxi either. She was quietly hiding behind Zhang’s. Seeing Fu Yao crying, she also ran over to hold Liu Tangxi and started crying.
Watching this scene, Wei Hanzhou said to the side, “Fuyao, you are not too young, and you have read a book again. From now on, you will take good care of your younger siblings at home, okay?”
“Yeah.” Fu Yao wept and cried.
“Okay, it’s time for your third uncle and third aunt to leave, don’t pester your third aunt.” Zhou pulled his daughter back.
Liu Tangxi just cried for a while, looking at Fu Yao’s tearful eyes, and said, “If you want to see the third aunt, please go to the capital to find the third aunt, okay?”
After Fuyao listened, he nodded heavily and said “OK.”
“You and sister, okay?” Liu Tangxi touched Shulan’s hair.
Shu Lan nodded with tears in her eyes.
“Let’s go, lady?” Wei Hanzhou said.
Liu Tangxi glanced at him, then turned to look at Li, and said, “Mother, there is a burden on my bed. It is for your sister-in-law and second-in-law, the clothes made by a few children, you can share it with everyone in a while.”
Since Wei Hanzhou went to the capital, she started to do it. It is a kind of reward to make a suit for everyone.
Li wanted to refuse, Liu Tangxi shook his head.
It’s always lingering when parting, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to say it until dark.
Wei Lao San stopped them in time.
“Well, don’t delay the hour, you two go quickly.”
“Yes, Dad.”
Before leaving, Wei Hanzhou and Liu Tangxi knelt on the ground and knocked their heads on Wei San and Li, got on the cart, and left Weijia Village staggeringly.
Seeing Li and the others standing at the door, Liu Tangxi’s eyes were red again, but she tried her best to hold it back.
When I left Weijia Village and could no longer see Li and the others, Liu Tangxi finally couldn’t help crying. ,,,
