Chapter 340 Nuobao makes a fool of himself
The carriage approached the academy, and when it was still a few steps away, it could hear the students babbling.
When little Nuobao thought of a group of little brothers sitting in a row, reciting books with their heads shaking, he felt bored and wanted to doze off.
"Mom, take Nuobao in. I'm going to buy ginseng. I'll come back to pick you up after I buy it." Jiang Fengnian stopped the carriage and wanted to help them get off.
Feng said "hmm".
At this time, she lowered her eyes and saw the lady covering her ears.
"Why are you covering your ears? Are you annoyed after just a few sounds?" Feng deliberately pinched her nose, "When you grow up, you have to be like them, learn to read and study, don't think you can get away with it!"
Little Nuobao rolled his eyes and hurriedly covered his ears tighter.
Don't listen, mother is chanting!
At this moment, the little boy inside the door recognized Feng's voice, picked up a woman named Tang, and ran to open the door happily.
"It's Madam Jiang and Nuobao, come in quickly!" The little doorman was only twelve years old, but he still let the woman named Tang pass, "It's cold, Nuobao sister, come and hold her!"
Little Nuobao stuck his head out of the hood, accepted the good stuff to warm his hands, pointed at the buns in his mother's hand, and laughed with his little white teeth.
The doorman understood and knew that he could enjoy the feast with the dean again, so he excitedly led the way in front and led them to the study. There
was no scripture class today, so Dean Wei didn't have to go to the class in person. He was free and was playing with the cat in the study.
Dean Wei was surprised to hear that it was Little Nuobao who came. He stretched out his big hand as soon as the door opened.
"But I haven't seen you for a while. Come and let Uncle Wei hug you." Dean Wei hugged the little guy in his arms, shook him twice and laughed, "Don't say, it seems to have become heavier."
Little Nuobao was afraid of being accused of gaining weight, so he quickly hugged his neck and patted him twice.
"Yeah~ Nuobao also misses Uncle Dean~"
Dean Wei was coaxed and was very happy. He made up for her, "It's normal that it's heavier. It's cold now. It must be because you're wearing too many clothes."
After saying that, he opened the box. He
took out two oil paper bags, which contained Bohai City's specialty shrimp cakes that his classmates brought when they visited him two days ago.
Feng sat down, broke off a little and tasted it, and said with a smile, "She became obedient when she had something delicious. Dean Wei didn't know that when she just arrived at the door and heard a few bursts of reading, this little girl was holding her head."
Knowing what Xiao Nuobao was afraid of, Dean Wei chuckled.
"It's not okay to hate studying. There is a golden house in the book. Who doesn't yearn for it?"
Xiao Nuobao was surprised, and immediately spit out the shrimp cake, and lay on the table and flipped through several books.
"There is a golden house in the book? Is it made of real gold?"
"Where is it?"
"Ah? Why can't Nuobao see it!" The little fat girl looked around and asked righteously.
Seeing this little guy scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, as if he was really looking for gold, Mrs. Feng and Dean Wei were both in tears and laughter.
Even the little doorman was stunned for a moment.
Then he held his stomach, laughed non-stop, and fell out of the door with joy.
"You better eat the shrimp cake honestly. If the boys in the academy know that Feng Jing's sister thinks there is a real golden house in the book, I'm afraid even your fourth brother will be laughed at." Dean Wei grabbed the fat girl's little hand and held her in his arms.
Mrs. Feng also patted her twice.
"Don't play tricks, you almost made me forget the important things. I still have something to say to the dean." Mrs. Feng squeezed her eyes.
Thinking of Bi Luochun, Xiao Nuobao immediately became serious again, sat back on Dean Wei's lap, and acted like a good baby.
Dean Wei asked the doorman to bring a pot of tea.
"Try the Biluochun that my classmate just gave me. Let's drink and chat."
Mrs. Feng took a sip, and felt that she couldn't drink green tea, so she put it down again.
She seemed to say casually, "By the way, Dean Wei, we have known each other for so long, and I only know that you have never married, but I don't think you have ever mentioned other family members or your parents."
Dean Wei paused, then shook his head, "My parents died early, so don't mention them. As for other things in the family... forget it, let's not mention it."
Mrs. Feng saw that something was wrong, and then made a roundabout way.
"Where is your hometown then? It shouldn't be Yuncheng."
Dean Wei's expression was much more relaxed. "Well, my ancestral home is in the capital, but when I was young, I followed my parents to open a school in the capital, so I can be considered half a native of the capital. Later..."
Talking about the past, Dean Wei's eyes drifted.
"Later, I passed the imperial examination, which was like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. I became the third place in the imperial examination and returned to my hometown, the capital, where I was very famous for a while."
"It's a pity that after that, I had to go through the ups and downs of officialdom. I couldn't let go of my integrity as a scholar and refused to bow down to the powerful. So I retired to Yuncheng and opened this academy." Dean Wei flashed a trace of regret, and his expression became indifferent again.
Little Nuobao grabbed the shrimp cake and nestled in Dean Wei's arms obediently. He could feel his mood changes.
Especially when he mentioned the officialdom, his chest rose and fell rapidly.
Presumably, it must be a painful past.
It could make a scholar who won the third place in the imperial examination quit his official career, not marry and have children, but instead live in a remote corner of the north. I think there must be a lot of things hidden behind it.
Mrs. Feng also felt a little regretful, "My family has never asked about your affairs in detail, but I think those years must have been extremely difficult for you."
"If you can have a brother or sister by your side, at least it will be a relief, and it is better than you living alone." Mrs. Feng brought the subject back.
Dean Wei smiled bitterly, "Actually, I do have a brother... but we have been enemies for a long time and have not been in contact for many years..."
Feng immediately followed up, "Then I wonder where your brother lives? Has he married and had children? Is there really no news about him in these years?" Speaking
of his brother's wife, Dean Wei immediately clenched the corner of his clothes, and a hint of escape appeared in his eyes.
He slowed down and said with a tight throat, "When I retired from the officialdom, my brother married my sister-in-law. Later, I heard that they moved to Changbai City and opened a school to make a living like me..."
The rest of the words were choked in his throat, and he could no longer say it...
He couldn't say that after he entered the officialdom, his brother had ignored his opposition and used his title of Tanhualang to open a business in the capital, making friends with the powerful and making a lot of dirty money.
He couldn't even tell that his sister-in-law was his childhood sweetheart and fiancée.
But when he decided to quit the court and come to the north to teach, the woman refused to give up the prosperity of the capital and turned to his brother's arms and became his sister-in-law...
That's why the Wei brothers became strangers.
It's a pity that things are unpredictable.
After returning to the north, Dean Wei still relied on his knowledge to go from a teacher to the dean of the first academy in Yuncheng.
But his brother, without his title of Tanhualang, later got into the wrong business and his business plummeted. Until he couldn't make it in the capital, he went to Changbai City to open an academy, but it didn't make much progress. Dean
Wei poured another cup of tea, tasted it, and said sourly, "Although this Biluochun is good, it's just that it's no longer the mood it was when I first drank it."
It can be seen that Feng came here today for another purpose.
Dean Wei put down his cup and smiled, "You asked about my family affairs as soon as you came here today. I know you are not the kind of person who likes to ask around. It must be something important."
Feng wanted to test the waters, but since Dean Wei asked, she should also speak up.
"Then I'll tell you straight." She nodded, "When the refugees were assigned to our village yesterday, a woman said she was your sister-in-law. She didn't dare to come to see you alone and insisted on asking us for help. That's why I wanted to ask you what you think."
"Sister-in-law..." Dean Wei's face changed immediately, and he asked anxiously, "What's the woman's name?!"
"Biluochun!" Feng and Xiao Nuobao said at the same time.
As soon as the words fell, an indescribable emotion appeared on Dean Wei's face.
He was so excited that he almost knocked over the teapot and spilled some tea on Xiao Nuobao's face.
Mrs. Feng was extremely surprised. Why did he react so strongly?
While wiping the tears from her daughter's face, she asked, "So, that person is really your sister-in-law."
Dean Wei's voice trembled, "A few days ago, when I was distributing porridge, I vaguely saw someone who looked very much like her, but she refused to respond when I called her. I couldn't find her anywhere, so I thought I had seen her wrongly. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be her!"
"Is she still in Dalui Village now?"
"Yes, and it seems that she has a son and a daughter with her. They should be your nephews and nieces." Mrs. Feng replied immediately.
Dean Wei hurriedly stood up, his trembling hands still hidden in his sleeves.
"Then please take me to see him!"
Feng was shocked. She didn't expect Dean Wei to be so happy to see his sister
-in-law. If that was the case, why did Bi Luochun go through the trouble of going through the Jiang family?
It was very strange.
