Chapter 419 Duke of Wei

The first Duke of the State of Wei was one of the eight founding heroes who followed Taizu to conquer the world. Up to now, there are only two of the eight Dukes of the Kingdom, either because they have no descendants or because they have won the title. The Duke of Wei's Mansion is one of them. .

The Han family's army in charge of the Duke of Wei's mansion is well-known and has made countless military exploits. Although the Duke of Wei was injured and handed over his military power in the early years, the influence of the Han family in the army cannot be underestimated.

Emperor Changqing was quite distressed.

At the beginning, Duke Wei was injured in his wrist and could no longer hold a gun. When he retired from the army, he was a little bit ecstatic. Unexpectedly, the Northern Qi barbarians who were frightened by the Han family army became bolder every year. Appropriate will be available.

"My dear friends, first solve the problem of warm clothes for the soldiers in the north. As for the suitable commander, I will think about it carefully. If you have a suitable candidate, you can also recommend it to me."

Naturally, the news of the imperial study room spread quickly. Under the auspicious atmosphere of the approaching New Year's Eve in Beijing, people's thoughts moved.

Cheng Wei has been called back to live in the Duke's Mansion since the winter solstice. She is used to the peaceful days in Xuanqing Temple, thinking that she will not be able to go back until the first month of the lunar year at least. From morning to night.

Ever since Mrs. Duan scolded her for not caring enough about her daughter, Mrs. Han has taken care of Cheng Wei. Seeing that she didn't come out all day, she finally couldn't help but come over and say to her: "You are only fifteen, and you spend all day reading in the house. , Don’t you feel bored? It’s cold outside, but the weather is nice, so it’s better to wear more clothes and go for a walk.”

Cheng Wei put the book away, shook his head and said, "Second brother has been busy with something lately, he never sees anyone, and it's no fun to go out."

Han Shi gave her a white look: "Who told you to go out, you can just take a breath in the garden of the mansion, but I heard that the plum blossoms in Xuelin have already bloomed."

After hearing about Xue Lin, Cheng Wei's expression became even paler, and he covered his face with a handkerchief and said, "I'm not interested."

Han was surprised: "Don't you really like plum blossoms?"

Cheng Wei curled his lips: "I like plum blossoms, but I don't like to listen to Xuelin's plum blossoms. Especially the elder sister-in-law exudes the fragrance of plum blossoms all over her body. Now I even start to hate plum blossoms."

Mentioning Cheng Yao, Han gave a cold snort, pulled Cheng Wei and said, "Wei'er, didn't you hear that that vixen started messing around again."

Cheng Wei took off the veil, and now he looked serious: "Why, what is she bothering about?"

Mrs. Han sneered: "What are you fussing about? Isn't she just showing off her talent and learning? Didn't the soldiers of the Northland suffer from frostbite and lose the battle because the clothes to keep them warm were not enough? The imperial court is preparing supplies to keep out the cold. As the wife of the prince and son of the state, the invitations are widely distributed, and the ladies and girls from all the prefectures are invited to come and listen to the snow forest to appreciate the plum blossoms, and also to write poems and do some charitable donations."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Han sneered: "As soon as her post was published, all the prefectures in Beijing praised the righteousness of Mrs. Wei Guogong's son. How can this vixen have so many tricks!"

"Poetry donation?" Hearing the word "poetry", Cheng Wei felt sick for a while.

In the past, she hated Cheng Yao, but she had to admit that he was amazing, but since she knew that those poems were plagiarized, she only felt sick.

"Wei'er?" Han pushed Cheng Wei.

Cheng Wei regained consciousness: "Mother?"

"I'm asking you, do you want to join in the fun at this plum feast?"

Cheng Wei bent the corners of his lips: "Of course I'm going, otherwise I'm going to get moldy if I stay in the house all day."

At the beginning, the second brother said that the matter of exposing Cheng Yao's plagiarism of poems was left to him to handle, but a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and there is still no movement.I don't know if the second brother forgot about it, or if he made arrangements.

Even without the help of the second elder brother for this plum appreciation banquet, she must tear down Cheng Yao's halo of "talented girl"!

With Cheng Wei's fighting spirit, he couldn't read the medical books anymore, so he put on his cloak and went out for a walk after listening to Han's words.

It only snowed last night, the snow was not heavy, and it was sprinkled like salt particles. This morning, the treetops and grass leaves were covered with a layer of hoarfrost. As soon as the sun came out, the hoarfrost condensed into water droplets and fell, making the ground wet.

Cheng Wei stamped his feet, wiped off the moisture, and walked towards Ting Xuelin.

I heard that many plum trees in Xuelin are in bloom, sparsely arranged and natural.

As Cheng Wei walked, he casually lowered a branch of plum and sniffed lightly, and couldn't help smiling.

It was her thinking that was wrong, Merlin was so innocent, she couldn't afford to take it out on someone she hated.

Gradually, the plum blossoms seemed to be blooming better and better, Cheng Wei sniffed, turned her head and asked Huanyan: "Do you smell the aroma of wine?"

Huanyan took a deep breath and nodded: "I can smell it, it seems to be coming from over there."

Thinking that this is in the Tingxue Forest of the Duke's Mansion, naturally there will be no outsiders, Cheng Wei said: "Go, go and have a look."

Wearing flowers and brushing leaves, Cheng Wei saw the person under the red plum tree at a glance.

The man was lying on a stone chair under the tree, holding the jug high in his hand, and was drinking with the spout to his mouth.

"Uncle?" Cheng Wei was a little surprised, motioned for Huanyan to stand where she was, and walked over.

Hearing the movement, Duke Wei raised his head, and when he saw his niece coming, he quickly put the jug aside and sat up straight.

It's just that he obviously drank too much, looking at Cheng Wei with a drunken look in his eyes: "It's Wei'er, come and sit down."

Cheng Wei walked over, sat down on the stone chair, and took a closer look at Duke Wei.

Duke Wei laughed.

Xu Shi felt a little bit drunk, Wei Guogong's smile seemed wanton: "What is Wei'er doing looking at uncle like this?"

Cheng Wei was silent for a while, and asked, "Uncle, do you have something on your mind?"

Wei Guogong was stunned, and shook his head: "I don't have anything on my mind, I just see that the red plums are blooming well, so I am interested in drinking. It's a pity that Wei'er doesn't know how to drink, otherwise I can have a drink with uncle."

Cheng Wei ignored Wei Guogong's words, and said seriously: "Uncle just has something on his mind. The sorrow in your heart has already been reflected on your face. If you don't let it out, you will get sick."

"There's no such thing." Wei Guogong laughed, met his niece with a cold and concerned expression, gradually stopped smiling, and asked with a smile, "Then Weier said, what can uncle worry about?"

As the Duke of Wei, he would not confide his troubles with his niece who has just grown up.

Cheng Wei's thoughts changed sharply, thinking of the recent situation in the capital, he had a flash of inspiration: "Uncle, are you unhappy because the emperor chose the leader of the Northern Territory?"

Wei Guogong was startled, and then his tone was a little more emotional: "Wei'er has really grown up."

He raised his wrist subconsciously.

On the white and smooth wrist that was pampered and pampered for many years, a stiff white and twisted scar looked even more hideous.

Cheng Wei's eyes fell on Wei Guogong's raised wrist, and he understood.

It was because of a wrist injury that my uncle could no longer use a gun, so he returned to Beijing sadly.

She raised her eyes and smiled at Wei Guogong: "Uncle, maybe I can try your old wrist injury."
