"Baby, your father and I are brothers, what should you call me?"
Three-year-old Yue Yun didn't cry or fuss. He just blinked his big eyes and looked at his unfamiliar father on one side, then looked up at this even more unfamiliar giant, and said in a sweet voice: "Uncle."
"Why!"
Wang Erlang smiled so hard that it made him happy to have a famous historical general call him uncle.
This little guy is so good that it's heartbreaking. He's so much better than his troublesome nephew.
Wang Erlang thought he would be happier, so he touched from his waist and took out a piece of clear jade. It was the piece given by Miss Cao. The piece was hanging around his neck under his clothes. That piece was a jade pendant. , smaller, this piece is a jade hanging around the waist, larger.
"Call godfather, and I'll give you this piece of jade." Wang Erlang teased Xiao Yueyun.
"Brother Wang, no!"
Yue Fei stopped him quickly and did not call him general because Wang Zhi refused. Firstly, he had not yet reached the rank of general. General was just a general term for generals in the army. After joining the army, he had to call him a military title, but this is not the case here. In the military, there is no need to be qualified for military duties at home.
This piece of jade is about half the size of a palm. It is moist all over. It has a carving of two dragons circling and competing for the sun. The sun protrudes a little, is naturally red, and is crystal clear and very beautiful.
Even Yue Fei, who had never come into contact with jade in his life, knew that this piece of jade was definitely worth a lot of money, and it might even be more expensive than the money he paid to buy his life.
"Hey~ Brother-in-law, I am here for Yue Yun, not for you. If the baby is willing to be my godson, then I, as the godfather, must express my gratitude."
Xiao Yueyun did not pick up the jade pendant, nor did he look at the two arguing men, but looked at his mother.
Liu Cui'er hurried over and hugged Yue Yun, lowered her head and said to him: "Quick, Yun'er, kneel down and kowtow to your godfather."
Under Liu Cuier's guidance, Xiao Yue Yun kowtowed to Wang Zhi three times and called "Godfather" in a milky voice.
Wang Zhi originally wanted to avoid the kneeling ceremony of this famous historical general, but then he thought about it. He was Wang Zhi, the sage king of the Song Dynasty, and he was not the coward of later generations. How could he not be able to kneel down to his godson?
Thinking of this, he put it away with peace of mind, then helped Xiao Yueyun and handed the jade into his hand, squatted down and asked him, "Son, do you know what this jade represents?"
Yue Yun shook his head. How could a three-year-old know this? If he wanted to know, Wang Erlang would definitely take the jade back, turn around and run away. This does not mean that the child is a monster.
Wang Erlang smiled and explained to him, "Do you think this jade looks good?"
"nice."
Yue Yun's simple answer showed that the perception of beauty is innate to human beings.
"Do you know why it looks good?"
Wang Erlang asked again, and Xiao Yueyun shook his head.
"Because it has no impurities or bad things in its body, so it is beautiful and precious, and people like it."
After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he asked him, "Do you want to be as beautiful as it in the future?"
"want!"
Xiao Yueyun nodded and answered loudly.
"Okay! My son will be as pure and noble as a jade in the future, without any dust."
Wang Zhi paused and then said: "You must be like your father and be a man who stands upright and upright!"
Yue Fei smiled bitterly and vowed to himself that he would be an example for his son to follow.
"Um!"
Xiao Yueyun nodded with a firm expression, almost adult-like.
"Okay, son, remember that when you grow up, you must come to find your godfather. He will give you great wealth."
Wang Zhi didn't care whether he could understand or not, so he picked him up and painted a pie on him.
If the baby hadn't been too young, Wang Zhi would have really wanted to kidnap him along with him.
I don’t know if the baby understood it, but his mother did, and she was so excited that she was about to admit her marriage to Wang Zhi.
Not long after, mother-in-law and Yue Fan put the food and wine on the table, which was full of food. Yue Fan must have bought it in the town.
Facing a table of rural specialties, Wang Zhi moved his index finger, and like a master, he greeted his mother-in-law, Yue Fan, Liu Cuier, Wang Fu, and Wang Gui to join them.
Seeing that Liu Cuier was about to pour him wine, Wang Zhi hurriedly stopped and said, "Sister-in-law, no, I don't like drinking."
He, Wang Erlang, doesn't like drinking, but he likes drinking with like-minded people. If the host doesn't drink, then what's the point of drinking it? It's better not to drink.
Liu Cuier's hands were frozen in the air and she looked at her husband.
Yue Fei waved her hand to sit down, lifted the wine jar, and poured a bowl for himself and then a bowl for Wang Zhi.
This time Wang Zhi did not refuse and watched him fill a large bowl of wine.
Yue Fei picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in front of Wang Zhi.
"My Yue Fei's ring is broken only for Brother Wang!"
"good!"
Wang Zhi also picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
When Yue Fei was about to pour another drink, he was stopped by Wang Zhi, "You don't need to break the precepts for anyone, you are you, Yue Fei, you can only break the precepts for the justice in your heart, and no one else can."
"Remember, if anyone tries to harm you, you must resist. Only by remaining useful can you be worthy of yourself, your family, and the people of the world."
Wang Zhi himself was very happy to see that Yue Fei was willing to break the precepts for him, but then he thought about this person in front of him. People wanted to kill him and his whole family, but he stood there stupidly and let them kill him, and he was angry. Come to one place.
Yue Fei didn't know what he meant by these words, but he could feel the deep concern in them, so he nodded and stopped drinking.
The people at the table ate like this, enjoying the dishes and chatting about happy things until late at night.
…
"Pengju, are you asleep?"
Wang Zhi did not go to the town to rest with the Wang Fu brothers. Instead, he stayed at Yue's house and slept with Yue Fei.
"No."
Yue Fei responded, thinking about the scene of Wang Zhi undressing and wiping off his broadband in the inn this morning, feeling a little uneasy.
I gave my life, why don't I give my body... too?
"I often have a dream."
Wang Zhi's words were beyond Yue Fei's expectations, but they also made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"The Song Dynasty in the dream will perish soon. The country will be shattered, the mountains and rivers will be shattered, and the city will be hidden by vegetation."
Yue Fei didn't answer, just listened to his sleep talk quietly.
"At that time, many people will die, all the crops in the fields will be abandoned, corpses in the river will cut off the flow of water, the mountains will be full of bandits and robbers, the earth will be stained red with blood, people will be driven away like cattle and sheep, bones will be exposed in the wild, and there will be no chickens in thousands of miles. Ming..."
Is this really a dream talk? Why did I hear a deep cry from it?
Yue Fei still didn't interrupt him.
"I don't know if taking you to join the army this time will be a blessing or a curse for you. Maybe you should take your family and move south. I will give you..."
"What did Brother Wang say?"
When Yue Fei heard this, he couldn't hold back and interrupted him, "Am I, Yue Fei, someone who ignored the tragic death of my compatriots and fled?"
"Not to mention that this is just Brother Wang's dream, even if something like this really happens one day, I will do my best to prevent it. Even if it cannot be used as a precaution, I will use my blood to inspire the compatriots to resist. We must not let this kind of disaster spread, and we can stop it every step of the way."
After a while, a question came from the darkness, "Is it worth it to serve the Song Dynasty?"
Silence, deathly silence.
Yue Fei tonight is not a high-ranking official who will be loyal to the emperor in the future. He is just an ordinary commoner now.
No one at the bottom of the Song Dynasty would like this era.
This was the dynasty that had the most peasant uprisings in history. Yes, this dynasty, which was not even considered a unified state and occupied less than half the area of other dynasties, had the most peasant uprisings in history.
In the 319 years since the Song Dynasty, 433 peasant uprisings broke out. On average, there are peasant uprisings every year. This is a terrifying number.
Peasants are the easiest group to be satisfied. If they couldn't survive, how could they rebel with their heads up?
"The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world...ha!"
Without waiting for Yue Fei's answer, Wang Zhi understood that the dynasty was hopeless.
This is a deformed dynasty that was founded wrongly from its roots. Bianjing is even more deformed and prosperous, a prosperity supported by the whole country. As long as the noble men in the city can sing and dance, and the writings of literati and doctors can whitewash peace, the world will be in chaos. What does it look like and what does it have to do with them?
This trip to Xiangzhou completely allowed Wang Zhi to understand the true face of the Song Empire. Even a family with a pillar like Yue Fei was reduced to such a situation. It is conceivable, what about other families?
"It's worth it for the country, it's worth it for the family, it's worth it for the justice in your heart."
Yue Fei still answered his words, whether this country is the Song Dynasty or other countries, as long as it can protect the people from being invaded by aliens, as long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer be enslaved and oppressed, then it is worth it, and it is worth Yue Fei's death. To protect ten thousand times.
"Okay! For the sake of the country in our hearts, for our home, for our justice, let's encourage each other!"
"Encourage each other!"
…
Early the next morning, my mother-in-law prepared breakfast for the family early because she heard that wealthy families in the city eat three meals a day when they get up in the morning.
Of course Wang Zhi didn't know that people in this era only had two meals a day, one at ninety o'clock in the morning and one at around four o'clock in the afternoon.
So he ate very happily, and asked Xiao Yueyun to eat more, as eating more can make him gain weight.
It wasn't until Xiao Yueyun said: "My godfather is so good. He can only eat so many delicious foods with his godfather," Wang Erlang completely calmed down.
After breakfast, what should come will come, and what should go will always go.
Yue Fei walked to his father's bed and kowtowed three times respectfully.
He walked up to his mother again and kowtowed three times.
When he was about to stand up, his mother-in-law stopped him and asked him to take off his shirt, and then took out embroidery needles, vinegar ink and other equipment from other rooms.
"Your Majesty, please write four words for me."
Wang Zhi had not come back to his senses until he took the pen from his mother-in-law.
In the end, he stuttered a little: "Which...which four words..."
"Serve the country with all your loyalty!"
