The initial purpose of building the academy was to provide a craft for the orphans and widows of the Salesian Academy to solve their livelihood problems. Therefore, King Wei and Cui Weizhen were not only responsible for building academies for scholars all over the world, but also the academy of the Salesian Academy could not be left behind.
Cui Weizhen has been looking at the map recently, or running to Prince Wei's mansion at every turn. Ye Zhenzhen spends less and less time with him. Originally, Chu Ningyan often invited her out for banquets, but summer suddenly came, and Ye Zhenzhen
It was too hot, so I lay under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree at home all day, too lazy to move.
Every summer, she misses the air-conditioning in later generations. Summer without air-conditioning would kill half of her life!
There was no air conditioning, so she could only get cold drinks. Maybe she was greedy for cold drinks and ate too many cold drinks. Her menstrual period this month was a bit abnormal. She was worried about being taught a lesson by Aunt Cui, so she strictly ordered the maids around her to hide it, and she was very conscious and did not dare to drink too much.
have eaten.
On this day, Cui Weizhen was leisurely for the first time. He even invited Ye Zhenzhen to go out leisurely. Ye Zhenzhen was not in the mood and asked: "Where to go? Xiangguo Temple? I don't want to go."
Every time Cui Weizhen took her out, Xiangguo Temple was the first choice. Ye Zhenzhen was already familiar with every corner of Xiangguo Temple as if it were her own back garden, and she really had no interest in visiting more.
In fact, the important reason is that when Cui Weizhen went to Xiangguo Temple, she had to paint murals, and she had to be an assistant. She was so exhausted now that she didn't want to do anything but slump and be a salted fish.
The past two years have not been such a bitter summer!
Cui Weizhen saw that she had not been energetic these days, so he wanted to take her out even more, "I rarely have time to rest, so just go out with me to relax."
Ye Zhenzhen really softened her heart: "Don't you have to be busy today?"
Seeing that her attitude began to loosen, Cui Weizhen immediately pulled her up from the collapse and said as he walked: "The location of the academy has been decided on the east side of the city. The drawings have been drawn. Just let the people from the Ministry of Works start the construction.
I just need to check it out from time to time, and I don’t have to run out every day.”
Ye Zhenzhen was just taken into the carriage. Along the way, she listened to him talk about the interesting things he had encountered recently. Time passed unconsciously until there was a noisy sound outside the carriage. She opened the curtain and took a look, and she was stunned.
Lived.
"Why did you bring me to the dock?"
There were porters, travelers and passenger boats everywhere, a mixture of fish and dragons, and a lot of noise. In the hot summer, even the air was a bit impetuous. You couldn't bring her to experience the various aspects of people's livelihood, right?
Cui Weizhen looked mysterious and deliberately kept it secret: "Wait a moment, you will know soon."
Ye Zhenzhen: "..."
Seeing his painstaking efforts, Ye Zhenzhen decided to wait patiently, but the weather was so hot and muggy that she couldn't bear to stay in the carriage, and she soon broke out in a sweat.
Cui Weizhen secretly regretted coming early, and quickly picked up a round fan from the side to fan her. He asked worriedly: "Are you feeling unwell recently? Let the doctor come and take a look when you get back."
"I'm fine, there's no need to mobilize troops." Ye Zhenzhen shook her head and refused, looking up at the window to divert her attention, failing to see the worry in Cui Weizhen's eyes.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, but it was only a quarter of an hour. Ye Zhenzhen couldn't bear it anymore. Just when she was about to let Cui Weizhen go back, she heard his young man Guan Yan reporting outside: "Master, the ship from Linxi County has docked."
It’s shored.”
Linxi County boat?
Ye Zhenzhen was a little unable to react for a moment. She was led out of the carriage by Cui Weizhen in a daze. Guan Yan and others were leading the way. As soon as they reached the shore, they saw a ship docked at the pier, and guests were arriving one after another.
After coming down, not long after, I saw a group of familiar people walking down.
At first glance, she thought she had seen it wrong, until the woman in green looked up at her, with a look of excitement on her face, and walked quickly towards her, shouting as she walked: "Da Ya! Mommy"
But now that I’ve seen you, why have you lost so much weight? Are you not used to living in the capital? Why didn’t you mention it in the family letter? You kid, you miss your mother so much."
"mother?"
Ye Zhenzhen was caught off guard and was hugged by Aunt Ye. She was completely confused: "Why are you here?"
Not only Aunt Ye, but also his father Ye Dayong, third uncle Ye Sanyong and younger brothers and sisters are here, and they are looking at Ye Zhenzhen and smiling.
Seeing that his wife was still holding her daughter, Ye Dayong kept saying: "Child, mother, let go of Daya quickly. You mother-in-law, don't you feel comfortable without seeing Daya?"
After not seeing each other for more than a year, her father not only became more talkative, but also became quite dignified as the head of the family. In the past, how would he have dared to say these things to Aunt Ye.
Aunt Ye also showed her emotions for a moment. After hearing this, she immediately let go. Her eyes were still a little red, and she kept looking at her eldest daughter. She also didn't forget to answer her question: "My uncle asked us to come to the capital to see you, Da Ya."
Don’t you know?”
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but look at Cui Weizhen next to him. With a smile on his lips, he respectfully saluted the elders, and said a few words of love to his sister-in-law and brother-in-law before explaining: "I asked my father-in-law and mother-in-law to
I came to the capital and wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn’t tell you in advance."
This was to compensate for his guilt for not being able to take her back to her parents' home.
Ye Zhenzhen felt quite relieved, but she still couldn't help but scolded: "I said it wouldn't be too late to go back next year, but you asked your parents to travel all the way to the capital. My parents are old, so don't worry about it.
They are tired."
"Not tired, not tired, we are not tired at all."
Ye Dayong has heard that his son-in-law is a high-ranking official that even the county magistrate respects. I heard that it is still clear that the direct bloodline of the He Cui family has a very noble status. The lintel of their Ye family is not even worthy of being given to the current generation. He
Afraid that her daughter and son-in-law would have a conflict and be disliked instead, she shook her head to show that nothing was wrong with them.
"We have been doing farm work all day, and we are very strong. Besides, we also want to see you. My uncle has made arrangements for us, so we didn't suffer much along the way."
Even so, Cui Weizhen still solemnly apologized, causing Ye Dayong and Aunt Ye, two honest people, to wave their hands in fear and say no problem. This cautious look is really sad.
Siya and Huwa also came up and expressed their feelings of missing each other. Huwa, a naughty child, did not forget to expose the shortcomings of his parents and said: "Sister, we miss you. One time you sent a letter home, and I returned it.
I saw my parents wiping tears in the house."
Ye Dayong immediately blushed and scolded: "You brat, what are you talking about? I think your skin is itchy!"
Huwa stuck out his tongue, made a face and didn't dare to say anything more.
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes turned red uncontrollably, and she couldn't hide the guilt in her heart. Although she already regarded the Ye family as her relatives, compared to their unreserved love and kindness, her admiration was not as good as theirs.
