After seeing Dong Zhuo off, Wei Cheng looked at the hillside in the distance and the shabby houses on the hillside, and hesitated for a while.
Oh my god, my wife is Cai Wenji. I wonder if you are surprised or not?
Thinking of the previous scene of the two being intimate, Wei Cheng's mood became unsatisfactory.
Men are born with a mean gene, which means they want to conquer women who seem superior.
Wei Cheng's ex-girlfriend was also a campus beauty in college. Like Wei Cheng, she was both good in style and academics and was recognized as a goddess by everyone.
At that time, I don’t know how many rich second generations pursued her, but in the end they were attracted by Wei Cheng’s talent, and the two came together.
Later, the two opened a studio together, which continued to grow and attracted several partners, which eventually led to disagreements in their ideas.
His ex-girlfriend had always wanted to set up a factory and start a company, but Wei Cheng was more of a picky person and didn't like those messy things. He only wanted to study ancient medicine prescriptions, which gave others an opportunity.
Speaking of which, no one is right or wrong. Wei Cheng did neglect his ex-girlfriend. He went to the mountains to collect medicine every time for ten and a half months. Some people said that he was cheated. Some people were filled with indignation and felt the same pain, but some people felt that he Deserve it.
Wei Cheng also felt that he deserved it, so he left home in order to avoid litigation. At the same time, he also knew that the studio could make so much money, and his own prescriptions accounted for 30%, and his ex-girlfriend's management skills is the key.
The prescriptions are all in his hands, and what he left for his ex-girlfriend is just a well-known studio and a two-bedroom apartment at the school gate. Wei Cheng is not a person who likes to worry about things. He thinks that men should be more generous. Hello everyone. Get together and part ways.
He also summarized why he was cheated. In addition to the disagreement with his ideas, the key was that he often ignored his ex-girlfriend.
And why did he neglect her? If she had the same temperament as him, and the two of them went to the mountains to collect herbs together, and studied the prescriptions together, instead of always thinking about becoming bigger and stronger, wouldn't there be so many problems?
Ultimately, it's just a matter of personality incompatibility.
And what about Cai Yan!
Wei Cheng recalled the short time they got together over the past few days. He found that the two of them had a lot in common, and Cai Yan seemed to have a calmer temperament than him. Although he was from a noble family, he didn't have the temper of a young lady, and he treated Hao Niang. He and Aning are like his own family.
My ex-girlfriend couldn't do this. She liked to show off her little achievements everywhere, and she didn't have the introverted qualities that a woman should have.
Perhaps, this responsibility should be left to the changes of the times. It is the times that have made women more free and more expressive.
Why do so many people like to read historical novels? It’s because the heroines in historical novels represent loyalty and perseverance until death. They can’t even be jealous, because jealousy is also a sign of unruly women.
Let me ask, what man can't love such a woman?
While Wei Qing was thinking wildly, Hao Dadao came with two respected old men in the village.
The three of them bowed to Wei Qing, and Hao Dadao said: "Master, we have burned more than 7,000 bricks. Why don't we try to build a new house? Autumn is about to come. In two months I’m afraid it’s going to snow.”
Wei Teng nodded slightly and said: "I have already drawn the drawings of the brick and tile houses. Let's start with the oldest household in the village. It should be enough to live in with three bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen."
Hearing this, an old man behind Hao Dadao said in panic: "This is absolutely impossible. The master's mansion should be repaired first. How can we come first? We don't dare to do this. Autumn is about to come." It's not good for the young master and his wife to get cold."
Wei Cheng recognized him as the oldest old man in the village and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. Houses must be repaired house by house. All the people in the village have been mobilized. Two months is enough. There is still time." "
The news that brick houses were to be built in the village spread quickly.
Chengtou took the strong laborers in the village and moved all the bricks from the brick kiln to the center of the village, forming several tall brick walls.
Hao Zhao took the teenagers to dig out the yellow mud and burn the ashes. The burned ashes were used to mix with the mud, which can increase the viscosity and hardness of the loess.
As for Aunt Manhua and other women, they are still responsible for making fires and cooking.
When the villagers started digging the foundation with hoes and plows, Wei Cheng asked Chengtou and others to build a stove with bricks and then build an awning with previously cut wood.
Several men acted together, and Hao Dadao supervised them. Before dinner, a huge multi-pit stove was built. Although the shape looked simple, it was much more beautiful than the loess base stove. It's so small that everyone in the village feels fresh when they see it.
Just when everyone was working in full swing.
Hao Niang ran down the hillside in a hurry.
"Sir, please go back and take a look. Madam seems to be ill. Her lips are white and her cheeks are extremely hot."
Wei Cheng was startled when he heard this, and then his face changed drastically. In this era, colds and fevers can kill people. He didn't dare to waste a moment and hurriedly ran towards the hillside.
Pushing open the room where Cai Yan was, a faint scent of grass hit his nostrils.
Wei Cheng didn't care about this, and his eyes fell directly on the bed made up of several boxes.
I saw Cai Yan lying flat on the couch, his cheeks slightly hot, a little sweat oozing from his nose, his lips white and trembling slightly, his hair slightly messy and spread out, a pair of smart eyes closed tightly, long and Her eyelashes trembled slightly from time to time, as if she had had a nightmare.
"What's going on? Aren't you fine this morning?" Wei Cheng was anxious and asked Hao Niang, who was following closely behind him.
Hao Niang also looked innocent and only said: "I just found out too... It's all my fault for not taking good care of my wife."
Wei Cheng shook his head, sighed softly, walked closer, put his hand to Cai Yan's forehead and tested his body temperature.
"It's probably heatstroke." Wei Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go and boil some hot water."
Hao Niang nodded and hurried to the kitchen. As a maid, Cai Yan was ill, and she felt very guilty.
When Wei Cheng turned around, he happened to meet Cai Yan's slightly opened eyes. Wei Cheng said in surprise: "Madam, you scared me. Fortunately, it's just a slight heatstroke. Just lie down and I'll do it." Go prepare the soup."
"Husband." Seeing that Wei Cheng was about to leave, Cai Yan hurriedly grabbed the corner of Wei Cheng's clothes.
Wei Cheng looked down and saw tears dripping from the corners of Cai Yan's eyes. He sobbed and said: "Husband, I will never talk nonsense again. I know that your husband is planning big things. You shouldn't have too much contact with the outside world at this juncture, let alone Don't talk about people like Dong Zhoumu, I..."
Wei Qing was stunned, and squeezed her little hand in a funny way, comforting: "Silly girl, what big things can I plan? The reason why I am wary of Dong Zhuo is because I don't know him well. As the saying goes, it is necessary to be on guard against others. This It has nothing to do with whether I talk to you or not."
Cai Yan didn't believe it, thinking that Wei Cheng was comforting her. She had finally figured it out in the past few days. Her husband was not only decisive in killing, but also had many surprising preparations, such as those invulnerable clothes, such as those sharp iron-cutting clothes. Clay Han sword.
At present, the world is in chaos. There are Shi Chang servants inside who are causing trouble for the government, and there are Yellow Turban rebels outside who are inciting the people. Wei Cheng is secretly planning some back-ups to protect the family. This seems to her to be a completely normal thing.
In addition, Wei Cheng actually led the villagers of Haojia Village to capture Hu Biao and his party, which further confirmed that Wei Cheng had premeditated it. And she, at this juncture, persuaded Wei Cheng to meet Dong Zhuo, knowing that Dong Zhuo and Luoyang were The two sides are inextricably linked.
After returning to the house, Cai Yan remembered that her momentary willfulness might affect Wei Cheng's "overall layout". In addition, the sun was strong at noon, the room was stuffy, and the clothes she wore were brocade that was not very breathable. He was immediately suffocated from the heat.
After listening to her explanation, Wei Cheng was speechless for a long time.
Looking at the beautiful lady on the couch, her slightly hot cheeks were slightly flushed, her pale lips were faintly showing signs of dryness and dehydration, her long eyelashes were stained with a few drops of tears, and her smart eyes were full of tears. Remorse and tenderness.
Wei Cheng's heart felt hot, he lowered his head and printed some 'lip balm' on her lips.
"Yan'er, the way you look now reminds me of a song, which goes like this: 'The blood-stained country is like a painting, how can it compete with a little cinnabar between your brows, even if it covers the world, it will never be more than a prosperous one.' Don't say that I don't have the ambition to dominate the world. Even if I have it, it's for you." After saying that, Wei Cheng lowered his head and kissed Cai Yan's eyebrows.
Cai Yan had never heard such explicit words of love, such as "blood stained the country is like a painting, how can it compete with a little cinnabar between your eyebrows". Feeling the warm breath of Wei Yan's lips coming from the center of her eyebrows, her heart felt like it was soaked in honey. So sweet. Her little hands held the corners of Wei Cheng's clothes tightly, fearing that such a considerate and gentle husband would suddenly disappear.
"This is the first time that my husband has called me by my nickname." Cai Yan said graciously, smacking his lips that had been kissed by Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng knelt on the ground, leaned over the bed, and said with a smile: "If you have no objection, I will call you that from now on. Besides, you are an eighteen-year-old girl, and I am a twenty-five-year-old girl." As an old man, it’s normal for me to call you Yan’er.”
When Cai Yan heard this, he said resentfully: "At eighteen, she is no longer a little girl. Other people's eighteen-year-old children can run around on the ground."
Wei Cheng didn't react for a moment, and said with a smile: "Having children too early can easily lead to the root cause of the disease, and those are not advisable."
Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "Is this the reason why my husband has refused to consummate the marriage with me for so many years? I thought it was because my husband was weak and sick, and he was full of ambition but not strong enough."
Wei Cheng was overjoyed at first, and then hurriedly explained: "Uh, wait, let me make it clear that I am not weak, not at all!"
While the couple was chatting happily in the house, the villagers who learned that Cai Yan was sick came running over.
Little Aning lay outside the door and peeked. When she saw Wei Cheng and Cai Yan holding hands, she blushed and stuck out her tongue and screamed strangely.
"A little bit, a little bit shy."
Wei Cheng looked back and realized that the courtyard outside was filled with people.
Cai Yan blushed, pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and said in a muffled voice: "Husband, you go first, I, I will sleep for a while."
Wei Cheng also looked embarrassed and told her to get some rest before going out.
Upon seeing this, Hao Dadao and others hurriedly asked Aunt Manhua and the others to come forward. They saw a few aunts holding a bunch of things in their hands.
Aunt Manhua said: "Sir, these are the fresh fruits we picked in the mountains in the morning. There are all kinds of fruits. My wife must not have a good appetite when she is sick. There are many of them that can stimulate the appetite, and there are also these wild eggs and duck eggs. Make up for the madam."
Wei Cheng was moved in her heart and declined: "Aunts, it's better to take it back. Life is not easy for everyone. Keep these fruits for the children to satisfy their greed. I have a lot of good things here, and there is no shortage of them."
When the children nearby heard this, their eyes lit up and they looked expectantly at the wild fruits in the basket.
Hao Dashao pulled the children away angrily and said: "Master, just accept it. This is your wish. We have nothing to honor the master and his wife. They are just some rare wild products. Master, just accept it." Don’t make it difficult for them.”
"Yes, sir." An old man also said: "You have given us enough. Madam's illness is a serious matter. It's just a few wild fruits. It's not a valuable object. It's for Madam's appetizer. It's so hot on this hot day." , you have to eat some body bones to have strength."
Seeing that Wei Cheng could not be persuaded, he had no choice but to be respectful and obey. After accepting the fruit, he asked everyone to go back to eat first on the grounds that Cai Yan needed to rest. He also explained that Cai Yan was just suffering from ordinary heat stroke and that he would be fine if he drank some herbs. , the villagers retreated.
After sending away the last villager.
Wei Cheng turned around just in time to see Aning picking at the fruit basket. Remembering the embarrassment just now, he mentioned the little girl angrily: "Okay, I'll eat it again, and we'll have dinner later. You can eat these now, and we'll have dinner later." I can’t eat any staple food.”
Aning struggled and shouted: "I'm not eating secretly, I want to pick some of the biggest fruits for my sister."
"Are you so kind?" Wei Cheng expressed doubt.
Aning shouted angrily: "I will not compete with my sister for food. This is a matter of principle, hum!"
Wei Cheng shook his head in amusement. This girl had secretly learned a lot of his vocabulary recently and actually used it on herself.
He lowered his head and looked at the wild fruits all over the ground. One head and two were as big as one at a time. With so many fruits, he and Cai Yan would definitely not be able to finish them all.
After thinking about it, he said to Hao Niang who was busy in the kitchen: "Sanniang, please call a few handy aunts to come up and help. Let's make these fruits into preserved fruits and share them with everyone during the Chinese New Year."
"Preserved fruit?" Hao Niang and Aning looked at each other, not knowing what preserved fruit was.
Wei Cheng nodded and gave it a try: "You will know later that the prepared preserved fruit can be used as a snack or soaked in water to drink. It is also very convenient to store. It is a rare good thing."
Upon hearing this, Aning silently glanced at the fruit in his hand, imagined what the preserved fruit would look like, and obediently put the fruit back.
When Wei Cheng saw this, he said angrily: "Aren't you going to give it to your sister?"
Aning explained bravely: "We will eat in a while. Sister can just eat. Let's make these fruits into preserved fruits."
