Wei Xun led his cousin Lu Xun along, attracting the attention of many students.
Due to household registration, Heluo Academy has not recruited new students for a while. However, after they saw that Lu Xun was only seven or eight years old, they instantly lost interest.
On the other hand, Wei Xun was asked from time to time: "Brother Zian, who is this little brother?"
In order to let his cousin Lu Xun get to know more people, Wei Xun took the trouble to introduce him. When he learned that Lu Xun was from a wealthy family in the south, many people looked at each other and wondered why the people from the south also came to Hedong? Could it be over there?
Also messed up?
Many students whose families had business dealings with the south kept this incident in mind and planned to tell their family elders later.
This is also the main reason why so many parents in later generations send their children to good schools, because who knows when, an inadvertent news between students may bring huge benefits to the family.
After Sun Jian's death, Jingzhou and Yangzhou will inevitably fall into chaos. The so-called heroes emerge from troubled times, which is also an opportunity for all parties to reorganize and divide their interests.
Putting aside everything else, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others couldn't sit still.
Even if a small family can't eat meat, it's not bad to share a bowl of soup.
After saying goodbye to several familiar students, Wei Xun walked into an independent courtyard with his cousin Lu Xun.
At this time, many students had gathered in the courtyard, discussing knowledge with each other in twos and threes. When they saw people coming in, they just nodded and greeted Wei Xun, and did not show any flattery or flattery because of Wei Xun's identity.
"Today is the class of Mr. Xu, the Governor-General. It talks about the deployment and response of city guards to city defense. I personally find it interesting. You can listen to one section. If you are also interested, you can test Mr. Xu's disciples with me later.
study."
Wei Xun found an empty seat, knelt down on the futon with Lu Xun, and told him about the classroom rules and some things to pay attention to.
This is the first time Lu Xun has heard of this kind of free and easy way of listening to classes. It is the students who choose the teacher, rather than the teacher choosing the students. If you like to listen to whose class, just go and listen, if you don’t like it, don’t listen. But the students have
Those who pass the assessment must take at least 12 points every year, otherwise they will be dismissed.
You will get one point for completing the assessment of one department, which means you have to take at least twelve subjects in one year.
Lu Xun nodded thoughtfully. Heluo College has thirty-six university departments and more than twenty elementary departments. They take twelve credits a year and it takes three years to complete. But if you work harder, you can study in one year.
Eighteen subjects, you can graduate in just two years!
It's just that the evaluation of the university department will be higher, and the elementary department, because they only learn some music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, are only graded but not graded. Unless they can stand out and become the leader, it is basically impossible to get the grade with the graduation points of the elementary department.
Reuse.
"Of course, there are not exceptions."
Wei Xun said with an envious expression: "There is someone in the chess club who has received a first-class rating. Speaking of which, he is only four years older than you. He completed thirty-six credits of first-class ratings in just two months.
, graduate early.”
Lu Xun opened his eyes wide, "Thirty-six credits completed in two months? And they're all top-notch!"
Wei Xun nodded slightly and said with a smile: "You heard it right, it is indeed two months. He also has an identity. If you knew it, you wouldn't be surprised."
Lu Xun looked curious.
Wei Xun smiled and said: "He is also my second brother's first disciple and chief disciple."
Lu Xun opened his mouth, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, "I see, Mr. Wei Shijun, he is the disciple of Mr. Wei Shijun!"
"Brother, are you okay?"
"No, I'm fine...
Cousin, do you have any rules when it comes to accepting disciples?"
Wei Xun: "..."
Seeing the expectant look on his cousin Lu Xun's face, Wei Xun smiled awkwardly, "I'll help you ask later. In fact, if you are really serious, you can ask your uncle. My second brother respects your uncle very much.
of."
···
"yawn!"
"Second uncle, are you okay?"
On the fishing platform in the moat outside the city, Wei Min and Wei Cheng's uncle and nephew were each sitting on a bamboo bench, holding a fishing rod and making tea.
Wei Min rubbed his nose, frowned and said, "It's okay, I think someone is nagging me behind my back."
As soon as she finished speaking, her second aunt Lu Ying came over, supporting Cai Yan, and greeted her warmly: "Chen'er, this fishing platform has beautiful scenery. If I had known there was such a pleasant place, I would have asked the maids to prepare more food."
Brought it."
Wei Cheng chuckled.
Wei Min replied angrily: "Don't worry about trivial matters, maid. If you have the ability, take care of these fishes yourself."
When Lu Ying heard this, her face darkened. Perhaps because Wei Cheng and his wife were also present, she did not immediately refute. Instead, she looked at the fish in the bucket and asked back: "Yan'er, Auntie, let me make you some fish soup."
Eat."
Wei Min seemed to be taken aback. He glanced at Lu Ying who was smiling in surprise and snorted coldly, "As for your skill, don't show it to embarrass others."
Wei Cheng could clearly see the veins popping up on the forehead of his second aunt Lu Ying. To his surprise, the second aunt swallowed her anger again and said openly: "Indeed, I won't show off my cooking skills. Let's take it back."
Let the cook come up with some river fresh food."
Wei Min punched the cotton again and couldn't help but look back at Lu Ying. He always felt that this woman was acting weird today.
At this moment, a fast horse galloped over.
Dian Wei, who was squatting under a tree to enjoy the shade, suddenly stood up and faced the visitor with a halberd in both hands.
Wei Cheng looked back and said, "The evil ones are from the secret guard."
When Dian Wei heard this, his blood-filled leopard eyes gradually calmed down his fighting spirit, and a faint blood-colored mist dissipated.
The visitor turned over and dismounted, glanced at Dian Wei warily, then handed over the scroll made of parchment, bowed respectfully to Wei Min and Wei Qing with clasped fists, and said: "I have seen the second master, the second master, this is the eight hundred and eighty-year-old man from Nanjun, Jingzhou."
Riga is urgent.”
Wei Cheng signaled Dian Wei to take the scroll, then looked at the visitor and asked, "Is there anything unexpected going on along the way?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The visitor clasped his fists in greeting, shook his head and said: "No, the third master asked us to disguise ourselves as a caravan, saying that someone would take the initiative to explore, while he secretly sneaked into Changsha County and confirmed that Sun Jian
The cause of death and Sun’s subsequent layout.”
The secret guards are all the earliest servants and bodyguards of the Wei family. These people can be said to be die-hard loyalists of the Wei family. Their family members all work in the Wei family's mansion, so some family secrets will not be hidden from them.
Therefore, Wei Cheng nodded and said: "This arrangement is good. It is best to find out the person behind Guan Yu, and at the same time send people to keep an eye on Liu Xuande. If Guan Yu makes such a big move, it is impossible for him to not have some planning."
"yes."
The secret guard acts swiftly and can be said to come and go in a hurry.
Lu Ying, who was sitting aside, looked up. She raised her eyes to look at Wei Cheng and said, "Cheng'er, what do you think of Sun Bofu?"
Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Why does Second Aunt ask this?"
Lu Ying smiled, glanced at Wei Min, raised her chin with a bit of pride, and said: "I, Mr. Lu..."
Before Lu Ying could get away with it, Wei Min directly intervened and said, "The Lu family and the Sun family have always been on good terms with each other. Back then, your second aunt was extremely in love with Sun Wentai, huh."
Wei Cheng was startled when he heard this, and looked at each other with Cai Yan next to him. Why is there such a big melon?
Lu Ying didn't expect that Wei Min would bring up old things. After enduring it all morning, she exploded and said with red eyes: "Wei, you have to speak with your conscience. You know the actual situation. If it weren't for you, I would have done it."
You won't be so willful and make my father angry."
Wei Min blushed and hesitated: "You said it yourself, Sun Wentai is eleven thousand times better than me..."
Lu Ying looked at him with red eyes and complained: "That's because you are angry too. If you hadn't been so focused on those trivial matters and didn't care about our lives, I wouldn't have said such angry words.
"
Wei Cheng and Cai Yan were extremely embarrassed. They glanced at the shrunken second uncle. It was obvious that someone had a guilty conscience.
Looking at the second aunt, how could she have lived in her parents' house for more than ten years if she didn't have to?
It turns out there are many secrets in between.
Wei Cheng stood up and helped Cai Yan up, thinking about leaving a room for reconciliation between Wei Min and his wife.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ying raised her head and looked at him and said: "Cheng'er, we have already talked about this, and my aunt is not hiding it. In fact, she is also entrusted by others to go north this time. Otherwise, there are so many aristocratic families in Jiujiang County."
Nor will he advance or retreat with me, the Lu family."
Wei Min was startled when he heard this. He had a premonition before that the Lu family could not bring about such a large community of interests. Now it seemed that his guess was right. There was indeed someone behind the Lu family.
Wei Cheng didn't care much. In fact, he had already guessed the news of Sun Jian's death when he learned about it.
The person who asked the second aunt to go north to explore the road was Sun Ce.
To be precise, they are a group of nobles from aristocratic families headed by Sun.
Historically, Sun Ce defected to Yuan Shu shortly after Sun Jian's death, but now they have a better choice, the northern overlord - the Hedong Wei clan.
Of course, Wei Cheng did not want such a result.
Sun Jian's old men, as well as those aristocratic families, were all a bunch of ignorant white-eyed wolves, and all of them were masters of internal fighting. When he saw Zhuge Liang quarreling with the Confucian scholars, Wei Cheng hated those Confucian scholars from Soochow.
"Second Aunt, let me be frank. I can accept them, but I won't give them a chance to negotiate. There are so many aristocratic families who want to attach themselves to my Wei family. I am not short of these, let alone give them
Official positions and privileges are the same for everyone."
Lu Ying's face changed suddenly. She was surprised by Wei Cheng's insight. At the same time, she was annoyed that she should not have underestimated Wei Cheng's wisdom. "Cheng'er already knows that they asked me to find you?"
Wei Cheng nodded matter-of-factly, "That's what the so-called aristocratic family is like. When Sun Jian is strong enough, they can still be humble to each other, because the interests will be replenished sooner or later;
When Sun Jian died, this balance was instantly shattered. Those who had not been rewarded for their previous efforts would be the first to lose their patience and struggle for power. Sun Ce was still a little younger, so no one would pay attention to him unless he could find a backer.
"
Lu Ying nodded slightly, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and asked Wei Cheng curiously: "Since Cheng'er already knew about it, why did she still send people to Jingzhou to investigate? Isn't it intended to subdue the rest of Sun Jian's troops?"
Wei Cheng's expression changed, and he raised his eyes to look at the dragonfly flying over the lake, and said leisurely: "The reason why I sent people to investigate the cause of Sun Jian's death was, firstly, to confirm whether the news was true, and secondly, because I was curious about who was controlling all this.
"As for subduing them, to be honest, I don't even want them if they are given to me."
Lu Ying was speechless for a moment, because she, the Lu family, was one of them, and as Wei Cheng said, compared with the aristocratic families in the Central Plains region, the aristocratic families in the south had worse backgrounds. After all, they all moved south during the war in the early years.
"Of course, I still welcome the Wu clan. Second Aunt can reassure the clansmen that as long as they do not violate the law, Hedong County is the best place for them to end up. At least it is safer than Wu County. If my prediction is good,
, someone is already plotting against Sun Jian’s old tribe. Those rich lands cannot be defended by just aristocratic families. What is needed in these troubled times is strong force to suppress them."
Lu Ying frowned, Wei Qing had made it very clear in his words, it is okay to accept you, the Wu clan, but let the others fend for themselves. Without absolute force, they can't defend anything.
···
Heluo College.
After Wei Xun and Lu Xun listened to the last class, both of them looked exhausted. For them, the knowledge Xu Ding taught was still a bit advanced. They paid more attention to the students' practical abilities than to their knowledge. No wonder those who listened to the class
Seventy percent of them are city guards.
Despite this, the two of them also felt that they had gained a lot, especially Xu Ding, who liked to quote scriptures. The examples he discussed were basically real incidents and events that had happened in Anyi, giving the students a more real feeling.
"Cousin, I have decided to enroll in Mr. Xu's class." Lu Xun, a little kid, imitated others in walking, holding his hands behind his back and walking with his head held high, which was very funny.
Wei Xun responded with a chuckle, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at several Western businessmen across the street.
"Those two girls seem to have been seen somewhere. Yes, they were at the Dingjunfang Women's Guard Camp... I wonder why they got mixed up with the people from the Western Regions?"
Wei Xun stopped and Lu Xun accidentally bumped into him, "Hey, cousin, what are you doing?"
Wei Xun pulled him into a nearby shop and whispered: "Don't make any noise, we may find out about Xi Zuo."
"Elaborate work?" Lu Xun looked confused.
Wei Xun was about to speak, but suddenly he noticed that the two girls got up and followed a red-haired guy up the stairs.
After the three of them disappeared around the corner of the stairs, several Westerners on the first floor suddenly started arguing. They seemed to have different opinions on something, and they made gestures to the people upstairs from time to time. It was obviously related to the two girls.
.
Wei Xun raised his eyebrows, "Could it be Ren Yazi?"
Lu Xun also said, "Cousin, if you know them, let's go and arrest them from the city guard."
Having just listened to Xu Ding's class, Lu Xun now has great trust in the city guards.
Wei Xun nodded and thought it would be best to report to the city guard.
Just as he was about to stand up, he was suddenly startled, "That's that?!"
Lu Xun pulled Wei Xun's sleeve, "Cousin, hurry up."
Wei Xun frowned and said: "Don't worry, look at the jade pendants held by those people from the Western Regions. That is my Wei family's unique technique. It looks like a single piece of jade, but it is actually two pieces of jade of different textures inlaid.
