On the other side, General Zhengbei's Mansion.
Dinner at Wei Qing's house was a bit late today, probably because he had to deal with some military affairs.
At the dinner table, the wife, concubines, and the eldest son Wei Shanhe had been waiting for a long time, but no one dared to move their chopsticks, and the food had just been brought back after it had been reheated.
The rules are very strict.
"Mom, why hasn't dad come yet?" the eldest son muttered.
The head wife glanced at the maid waiting aside: "Go and see, Master, why you are so busy now, don't be exhausted."
"Yes." Just as the maid responded, footsteps came from outside the hall. Wei Qing entered and sat down and said, "You've been waiting for a long time. Let's eat."
Then he motioned to his servants: "You all can go down too."
"No." The servants bowed and left.
"Master, duck meat." The wife was very virtuous and would bring dishes to Wei Qing from time to time: "Your favorite soup, why are you so busy today?"
"There are some military matters in the camp, which are a bit complicated." Wei Qing responded casually.
His son Wei Shanhe was drinking the soup with a spoon and secretly glanced at his father's face, looking like he was hesitant to say something but didn't dare to say anything.
This guy is exactly the guy Xiao Qinghe called a nerd in the Yaji puzzle.
It was an ordinary meal. After the servants cleared away the dishes, the concubine left. As a father, Wei Qing naturally asked about his child's studies.
"Back to my father, my son is studying every day and he doesn't dare to neglect his studies." Wei Shanhe said seriously.
"Well, if you have nothing to do, take a rest early." Wei Qing nodded.
"Yes." Wei Shanhe should have responded, but he stood below, hesitating.
"Is something wrong?" Wei Qing was a little surprised. Although he wanted his son to practice martial arts and join the army in his heart, his son liked studying and was not interested in practicing martial arts at all. There was nothing he could do.
Wei Shanhe moved the corners of his mouth, and finally had the courage to speak out: "Father, my son met Princess Qinghe today."
Wei Qing was not too surprised. After all, the child also studied with the princes and princes in Wenhua Garden when he was a child, so they must have known each other.
Wei Shanhe cautiously and stammered again: "My child... my child's marriage..."
Hearing this, Wei Qing understood and immediately became furious and slapped the back of his chair: "What are you thinking!"
"Yes, yes." Wei Shanhe was very frightened, but he still insisted on finishing: "It's just Princess Qinghe, the child has been..."
"Shut up!" Wei Qing was really angry and said angrily: "You don't even care about your status! You are worthy of me, Princess of Da Qin!"
Wei Shanhe winced and swallowed.
Seeing this, Wei Qing became very angry: "They say I am a hero and a good man. I remember back then, I followed His Majesty in the north and south and fought in the army all my life. Look at you again. You can only chew books all day long. How can I do this? I gave birth to such a bastard like you!"
After a scolding, Wei Shanhe was stunned.
His mother hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said, "Oh, Shanhe loves reading. This is a good thing. Why do you always have such a prejudice? You have to kill enemies on the battlefield like you? Literature can also bring peace to the country."
Wei Qing said: "Why did I name him Wei Shanhe back then? I hoped that he could succeed the generals as loyal and loyal, protect the family and the country! But he, however, held some collections of poems and books all day long, treating them as treasures and treating them as treasures. All my generals and generals have been thrown aside!"
"You know that you spend all day fighting on the battlefield. This is how you train your children. Even when chatting with my father, he always talks about military affairs." The wife was a little aggrieved because she also came from a scholarly family.
"Well, since when have I been disrespectful to my father-in-law?" Wei Qing paused. A real wife is naturally different.
"I dare not say that you are disrespectful, but I just want to say that military is military and knowledge is knowledge. As long as you have talent, you can be useful to the country." His wife whispered.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." Wei Qing waved his hands irritably: "Since he wants to study literature, it's up to him. But if he can't pass the imperial examination next year, I'll see if I don't interrupt him. Dog legs!”
Wei Shanhe lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
His mother said anxiously: "Why are you so harsh on your child?"
Wei Qing glared: "He is the eldest son! It's okay if he doesn't accept the general's strategy. If he fails to practice writing halfway, wouldn't he be a dandy?"
Then he said to his son: "You stinky boy, I'm telling you! If you really become that dandy, let alone committing crimes and no one will save you, even if I die, the title will not be passed on to you!"
"Master, how can you speak like this?" The wife panicked.
"I'm a martial artist, so that's what I say!" Wei Qing was straightforward. Of course, he was speaking angrily, but he also expressed his wish for his son to take over as a general.
After training him, he let him go.
When only the husband and wife were left, the wife also moved her lips and said tentatively: "Shanhe falls in love with Princess Qinghe. This matter..."
"Even if it's a child, you still don't know the importance?" Wei Qing frowned and said, "What is the status of the princess, and you don't know the relationship between our Wei family and Concubine Hua."
"In my opinion, it is precisely because of these connections..." the wife added.
"It's just wishful thinking!" Wei Qing reprimanded him. How dare he climb higher in his heart? There is no need to say more about his loyalty and awe to Xiao Yuan.
The next day.
The gathering spread at an extremely fast speed, and by the time word spread, it was already known to everyone in the streets and became a hot topic after dinner.
Among them, the most widely circulated and most magical one is a girl named Qingluo, who crushes all the famous elegant scholars one by one in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and ranks first in the elegant collection.
Then there is a young man named Xiao Erlang, who is rich in economics and insight. He uses his talents and knowledge to argue among the wise scholars. He also shines in poetry fairs and becomes famous.
In the rumors, one of the siblings, Xiao Qingluo and Xiao Yu, was portrayed as a mysterious fairy, and the other was portrayed as a suave young man.
Perhaps the siblings never expected that just one outing would cause such a big commotion, even causing a sensation in Chang'an City.
In fact, this is not difficult to understand, because of the high-end nature and gold content of Chang'an Yaji, and the two siblings were defeated by the kind of wise and elegant people who are well-known, so it will naturally be talked about.
"I heard that the Qingluo girl is only twenty-eight years old. She is dressed in pure white clothes with a white gauze covering her face. There are two maids in green skirts following behind her. Although they are both stunningly beautiful, in front of the Qingluo girl, they are all beautiful. It’s not as good as green leaves.”
"According to what you said, isn't it a fairy descending to earth?"
"Isn't that right? Otherwise, which girl can continuously win the first place in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
"This is... such a graceful and amazing talent. How can any man in the world be worthy of it?"
"If I want to say who is worthy of Miss Qingluo, Xiao Erlang is fine. I heard that a young man with a jade hairpin and rich clothes is as good as jade."
"Such a young man..."
Many tea shops and taverns are talking about this matter, especially among women, I don’t know how many people want to have a glimpse of Xiao Erlang’s style.
Finally, more exciting news came out.
"What!? You said Miss Qingluo is... Her Highness the Princess!?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! I just heard about it from someone else."
"No wonder, other than our Princess of Da Qin, no other girl can have such talent and beauty."
