Chapter 212 Study? Allusion!
Chapter 212 Study? Allusion!
The whole family sat together happily. The old man, Wen Zhu and Wen Jizu first talked about what they had seen and heard today, as well as some small gossip.
They ate and listened at the same time. From time to time, the old lady would give him a few dishes with a serving chopstick. Apart from this, everyone else chatted and talked together. No one would push him aside or mention him all the time, which made him feel at ease.
The old man urged him to eat quickly because he would take them out to play later.
Qu Liufeng looked at the sky outside which had already darkened. This was an experience he had never had before.
He was just feeling a little emotional when he heard Wen Zhu protest softly, "Dad, can you take me with you?"
"What are you going to do? Go tomorrow? To worship the ancestors, do your work well tomorrow and help Xiaofeng finish his share. Try to come back early so that you can get close to the water at dawn. You all forgot!"
At the old lady's command, the grandfather and grandson all quieted down.
"Then we can go to the study to play, right? Madam, have some soup."
The old lady was obviously still a little disapproving, but she didn't spoil the fun.
"I'll go as well."
Qu Liufeng was a little confused. Isn't the study just some books? What is there to worry about?
Until they came to, the study?
This is a three-story building. The entire first floor hall has been opened up, and there are weapons all around! There are some lonely books on the bookshelf at the back.
"Would you like to go to the second floor? There are many books there?"
The old man and Wen Jizu were already sparring in the middle of the field, and Wen Zhu greeted him with a smile.
This handsome young boy didn't look like he had any martial arts skills, and he thought he might prefer reading.
If Qu Liufeng knew what he was thinking, he would definitely protest for himself. He just spent little time learning and was just getting started, so he hasn't had a chance to improve yet, okay?
Seeing the intimacy and concern in Wen Zhu's eyes, Qu Liufeng asked his doubts.
"Uncle Wen, how do I feel?" He felt a little offended halfway through. How could he ask about someone's privacy just because he was so kind? Qu Liufeng was a little annoyed.
But Wen Zhu just smiled nonchalantly and pointed to where his mother was sitting and drinking tea.
"Let's go first."
Qu Liufeng followed him somewhat uncomfortably, and warned himself in his heart that he shouldn't be so relaxed and say anything next time!
"Xiaofeng, why are you here? It will be your turn soon, don't be nervous. Come, have some tea."
The old lady's words startled him: "Me?"
"What? It's you! You don't dare?"
He wanted to say unconvincedly that he dared, but when he saw the usually weak Wen Jizu wielding a sword with such vigor and power.
He felt that he was still a little green and needed to practice more.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha……"
The old lady was laughing so hard that she was rocking back and forth. Looking at his depressed look, she wanted to stop laughing but couldn't.
"Laugh if you want to. Don't hold it back."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Wen Zhu, who was standing by, was amused by them and couldn't stop laughing: "It's okay, they will come down and I'll accompany you. I'm the weakest in our family besides your aunt and An An, and I will definitely not hurt your fragile self-esteem!"
Qu Liufeng looked at his bulging muscles, then at his own arms and legs, then looked at the old lady in disbelief.
"Don't doubt it, in our family, no one can beat me except your grandfather!"
The old man doesn't dare to hit her, so she is the tallest hand in the family!
The old man's face was full of pride. He thought, back then, we were also people who had fought on the battlefield and made contributions!
"Xiao Feng, do you know why our weapons are all covered with cloth?"
Qu Liufeng shook his head. He also found it strange, but he didn't ask.
"Hey, this has to start from your grandfather Wen's ancestors..."
Qu Liufeng almost spit out his tea. These weapons have been around for so many years!
"What are you thinking, kid? If everything left over from the past were antiques, they would have been hidden away long ago! Listen carefully to your grandma!"
Wen Zhu stroked his hair with an indescribable feeling of closeness and warmth.
Qu Liufeng lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The old lady raised her hand and gently straightened his hair, and a comfortable and warm breath came towards him.
"It's still so beautiful. Xiaofeng is such a pretty child." She sat back in her seat and began to tell the story slowly. It was not a secret in the first place. Since the child was willing to listen, she just treated it as telling the child a story from the past.
"This, in fact, has to start from the Wen family's ancestors who have been telling stories for generations..."
According to historical records, the Wen family has had difficulty in having offspring.
At that time, it was still a monarchy. The ancestor of the Wen family was also a capable man. He rose from a commoner to a general of the current dynasty. His idea was simple. Since there had been only one son from him for several generations, could it be that the mother had too few children? Or maybe it was difficult for the two to conceive or the mother was not suitable.
He married many concubines.
This man is considered to be well-informed. He does not marry a wife and leaves the backyard to his mother to manage. She will never harm his children for the sake of property or status!
He also explained, what reward would be given for having one child? What reward would be given for having two children? If all the children under his natal ...
The women no longer had any other thoughts and spent every day trying to figure out how to get pregnant in order to advance their rank.
However, the idea was good, and several of his concubines became pregnant, but they just couldn't hold out. He just refused to believe it. From young to old, he had countless women in his backyard. Some gave birth to children, some did not. He had dozens of children.
But when he got there he no longer had the energy to look back, well, there was only one left!
The old man couldn't catch his breath and was so angry that he died!
Fortunately, he grew up and got married, and his mother became the mistress of the family because of her son's status. After the old man was sent away, his thoughts became similar to the old man's, after all, he was taught by his father.
But there were too many people in the backyard, and he was not as brave and good at fighting as his father. He also couldn't afford to play because the family business was too big.
He decided to improve the quality, quality is more important than quantity!
So he married five young ladies from prominent families in succession. Of course, except for the first daughter of the Grand Tutor who he married in a formal ceremony, the others were all concubines' daughters.
It doesn't matter to him, as long as they can give birth to a child for him, it can be a girl or a boy, he likes girls better, as as far as he knows, his ancestors never gave birth to a girl!
After a lifetime of being restless, he finally came to his senses, entered the civil service, and later held a high-ranking official position.
That is.
At the last moment, he realized that he only had one son!
This person also died with regrets.
From then on, dynasties changed, the Wen family had ups and downs, and they had been poor and rich, but the family only had one son, and no matter how many children they had, they could not stand on their own!
By the time of the old man, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, his family was a first-rank official, and his father was famous in today's classics. He was a very upright and patriotic civil servant.
But this old man was born strong and brave, and when times got turbulent, he was full of energy and wanted to join the army and lead troops to conquer the world.
This old man is capable!
