prosperous age

Chapter 111 111 I was born with a vision?
"Master, master, the young master is back."

Wei Wencai was sitting on the chair at the top of the lobby of the Baihu Office drinking tea, frowned slightly, and didn't know what was bothering him, when he heard a series of hurried footsteps outside and the shouts of his soldiers.

Immediately, Wei Wencai stood up immediately, looked at the soldiers rushing into the lobby and asked, "Where are you?"

"We're almost at the castle gate."

The soldier replied immediately.

"okay, I get it."

As he spoke, Wei Wencai had a bright smile on his face, first ran into the backyard and asked his servants to send news to his mother, then turned around and walked towards the gate.

Ten days ago, the family members of Zhang's family in Jiujiang Prefecture sent news of Wei Guangde's scholar, and the next afternoon, the team sent by the county to deliver the good news also arrived at the Bengshan Hundred Households, making Wei's mother and Wei Wencai very happy. up.

In order to celebrate, the Wei family not only slaughtered pigs and sheep to entertain the team that came to deliver the good news, but also brought all the military households who hadn't seen meat for a long time to eat a good meal with their stomachs open.

These days, the whole town of Madang has already spread the word that there is a Wenquxing descending from the next door to the Bengshan Fort, and they are all good people with good rewards and so on.
However, what Wei Wencai was sitting in the lobby before was that the rumor that his brother was a Wenqu star descended to earth is fine, and there will be similar rumors every three years, that is, after the results of the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination are released, the Juren and Jinshi masters are God, the local people don't understand, but there are rumors that so-and-so is the Wenqu star descending to earth.

But when it came to my brother, he was originally a scholar, that is, a little younger.

Well, let’s just say it, Wenquxing is actually nothing, logically speaking, it’s auspicious words, and should be rewarded, but after passing it on, it feels changed, saying that Wei Guangde had a vision from the sky when he was born.

Fortunately, it didn't say that Wei Guangde's house was full of red lights when he was born in the evening. The military households next door thought that the hundred households were on fire, and rushed to put out the fire in a hurry.

That's a taboo, it's Taizu's patent, and the rumormongers seem to know how powerful it is, so they didn't dare to make it up.

But when you make up that when Wei Guangde was born, the sky was originally covered with dark clouds, but as soon as Wei Guangde was born, the dark clouds over the Bengshan Fort disappeared, and a beam of sunlight directly shone on the backyard of Baihusuo, like a miracle.

At the beginning, Wei Wencai planned to investigate the source of the rumors, but after two days of investigation, he found that he couldn't find out, so he didn't dare to investigate after thinking about it, and he didn't dare to suppress the rumors.

The common people don't know how powerful it is. Sometimes the more you suppress, the faster the rumors spread.

In fact, having a child is not so easy, Wei Wencai has never seen the addition of a child in the military household in the fort, when his younger brother was born, he already remembered things, so where did the vision from heaven come from?

Wei Wencai was just guessing, maybe it was the news released by a few big households in the town, the purpose was to fear that his brother would really become an official through the imperial examination.

There were conflicts between the two sides, but the military and civilians were separated, and they couldn't do anything. They just wanted to suppress Wei Guangde by means of rumors and visions.

In the feudal dynasty, some things are very taboo.

After Wei Wencai figured this out, not only did he not suppress the spread of rumors, but he compiled several different versions and released them. The "Wen Qu Xing" was actually changed by the meteor he saw piercing the sky.

As soon as Wei Guangde was born, all the plants in the vicinity of Bengshan Castle bloomed. I don’t know where he heard about it.
All these things, just how mysterious they came, muddy the water.

Didn't you say that a vision came from heaven when my brother was born?

I will create several visions for you, and see how the outside world spreads them. Who will believe your little tricks by then.

But after all, this is just Wei Wencai's wishful thinking. Wei Wencai is not very sure what he will think if it is really spread to the ears of those who care. This is why he is entangled.

But don't think about it now, brother is back, let's celebrate him as a scholar first.

When Wei Wencai reached the gate, he heard the sound of jackets and bells. A fine horse came galloping from the direction of the fort gate, and immediately sat a Confucian general, that is Wei Guangde.

"Brother, I'm back."

As Wei Guangde approached the door, he saw his eldest brother coming out of the door, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Just come back, just come back."

Wei Wencai picked up Wei Guangde and took him directly to the backyard to meet his mother.

In the evening, after eating a sumptuous banquet prepared by Wei's mother, Wei Guangde followed Wei Wencai to his house after his mother went back to rest.

"What's the matter, first you wink at me."

Wei Wencai entered the room and asked his brother to sit down.

"I'm in the county. I heard from my aunt that there have been many legends about me recently. It's some kind of vision from heaven."

Wei Guangde said straight to the point, and while speaking, he took out another letter from his arms and handed it to Wei Wencai, "This is the latest Tang newspaper I copied, and it contains news about my father and the others."

Wei Wencai reached out to take the letter, and while pulling it out, he told Wei Guangde what happened before.

Knowing that so many versions of the vision from the sky were produced by his elder brother, Wei Guangde thought about it and thought it was handled very well.

I have had so many visions since I was born, it depends on which ones people believe.

It's just that if I go out in the future, I will inevitably be laughed at by the students in the county.

Forget it, Xiaomin is ignorant, what else can he do, brother's method of muddying the water is actually the best way to deal with it.

"Well, they have to wait until the end of the year to come back."

At this moment, Wei Wencai also read the news brought back by Wei Guangde, which was a message sent to Wei Li by the Jiujiang Guard who was on the expedition.

Originally, the war in Zhejiang was over, so it stands to reason that these guest troops should return the same way.

However, this time the Japanese pirates attacked the city and seized land along the coast of eastern Zhejiang, and the coastal guards suffered heavy losses, and it was impossible to restore effective combat power in a short period of time.

According to the order of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, except for the soldiers and horses from Haizhou Prefecture in Nanzhili who returned to the guard post, all the guard posts in the interior were stationed, and they could not return to the station until the coastal guard post was rebuilt.

"The three military households who have died in battle, do you want to tell them the news?"

Wei Guangde asked his elder brother.

"Let's press it first, and wait until they come back to talk about it. Now that the money for burning and burying has not come down, tell them what to do."

Wei Wencai shook his head and said, the news this time also brought back the list of the dead and disabled in the guard this time. Of the more than [-] people who went out of the Bengshan Fort, three died and more than ten were disabled. When they come down, they will make up for them at home.

"As long as the Japanese pirates don't make trouble over there in the past few months, it will be fine if Dad and the others come back."

Although Wei Wencai went to Zhejiang with Zhang Fugui last time, he didn't stay for long, and he didn't pay attention to the disability situation of the Hundred Households. This must be confirmed in the form of official documents.

"You also have to hurry up and read books and prepare for the October township examination."

Having said this, Wei Wencai looked up at Wei Guangde, "Are you taking the provincial examination for this subject?"
