On the way back, Cheng Chen and Qin Wan were still worried about the four children. Huo Yi was the most seriously ill, so they went back to ask a doctor to see him.
Cheng Chen was still indignant at this moment, "That child is too domineering. I don't know how his family taught him. I'm afraid that after this feud, he will bully Dabao and the others again."
Wang Yu comforted him: "No, he has learned his lesson this time and he won't dare to bully Dabao and the others anymore. But Dabao is smart enough to go to the teacher when he can't win. But the scratch on Huo Yi's face needs to be checked by a doctor to prevent it from leaving scars."
Cheng Chen also thought of Huo Yi. If Huo Yi hadn't stopped them, the three children would have been in trouble. He said, "We need to take a good look. I wonder if there are any injuries."
Wang Yu thought for a while in the carriage and remembered who that person was. He had seen him before when he went to the Ministry of Rites to find Chen Yanwen. He was the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites that Chen Yan had complained to him about. He was the one whose face was scratched by his own wife. Chen Yanwen had told them this as gossip last year.
Tsk tsk, it turns out that the son raised by a shrewish woman is also domineering. If he continues like this, he will get a bigger lesson sooner or later.
I went back and asked a doctor to see Huo Yi. Fortunately, they were both young children and didn't have much strength. It was just a skin injury and it would be fine after applying some medicine and resting for a few days. The doctor also prescribed some painkillers and swelling-reducing medicine. Although there were only three strokes, the palm of his hand was still a little red and swollen, and it didn't hurt that much after applying some medicine.
On the second day, both Wang Yu and Song Boyan received apology gifts from the family of the Right Vice Minister of Rites. Wang Yu thought it was just a fight between children, and as long as there were no more conflicts and they studied hard, everything would be fine, so he accepted his gift.
Later, Dabao said that the little fat boy had not been to the academy for a while, but he became much more obedient after going there. It seemed that he was sent there for reform by his father.
In mid-February, Lord Wei brought the manuscript of the article annotations, and the two began to write. The content of the writing was still mainly based on the books and articles required for the imperial examination. Every day they excerpted, sorted, copied, wrote and proofread, and it was about one book a month. The same was true for Cui Hao. After the writing and proofreading were completed, they would let Lord Xie review it.
The emperor rarely summoned Wang Yu this year. The last time he saw him was at the beginning of the year when he was on duty. The emperor told him that the steam engine had been built.
To be honest, Wang Yu admired these craftsmen a little. Although there were detailed manufacturing drawings, they still had to solve the problem of materials. It took only two years to build it. The emperor said that they were trying to use it on a ship. Can it run and how fast is it running?
Wang Yu was silent after hearing this. After the mass production was completed, it would be time for him to leave the capital.
Now Wang Yu couldn't think so much. Taking advantage of Mu Xiu's day, Wang Yu planned to take his family to climb Xinghua Mountain. The reason why it was called Xinghua Mountain was because there were 100,000 apricot trees on the mountain. No one had ever counted whether there were exactly 100,000 trees.
However, there are indeed many apricot trees. When they bloom, the fragrance spreads for miles. This is also a must-see place for many people to come for an outing.
This time, only Wang Yu and Song Boyan's families went out for an outing to enjoy the apricot blossoms. Chen Yanwen couldn't come due to something, but seven-month-old Lele can be brought out to play. The weather is also good today.
There are five people in Wang Yu's family, five people in Song Boyan's family, Zheng Shu and two other carriage-driving servants. There are thirteen people in total, including adults and children. There are exactly three carriages, one for the three elders, one for Song Boyan's family, and one for Wang Yu's family.
It took more than an hour to get to Xinghua Mountain. We looked at the scenery along the road from time to time and chatted until we arrived quickly.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. There were many tourists here in spring, so some people were doing business watching the carriages. Wang Yu also paid money and planned to let Zheng Shu go up and take a look, so that they would not have to guard the carriages below.
A carriage costs ten cents, and there are specially made wooden pairs of cards. When the time comes, you can take half of the pair of cards and match them to get the carriage.
The people watching the carriage are a family, including the husband, his wife and two children. The apricot blossoms will bloom for at least twenty days, so business must be good.
There are a lot of wooden stakes driven into an open space nearby, and a number of horse-drawn carriages, ox-drawn carts, donkey-drawn carts, etc. have been tied to them. There are also many vehicles parked on the roadside, and you can see women and men getting out of carriages, which shows that there are indeed a lot of people coming here to play. If you walk further up, you can see some small stalls selling food and tea, which is very lively.
Wang Yu and his friends could smell the fragrance of flowers at the foot of the mountain. Now that they were walking up, the smell was even more obvious. The scent of apricot blossoms was relatively elegant and refreshing.
As you go up the road, you can see more and more apricot trees. There are also children playing and fighting in the woods. Even Lele, who is held by Song Boyan, stretches out her little hands to pick the flowers. Qin Wan breaks off one and puts it in her hand, and she is very happy.
Dabao looked at the children and Cheng Chen running through the woods and said, "Dad, I want to go play too?"
Cheng Chen nodded: "Go ahead, be careful and don't run too far. Huo Yi will watch them. Come back after playing for a while. Don't get separated."
Huo Yi responded and took Big Gemhead and the others out to play.
The apricot blossoms are small and cute with white color and pink when viewed up close. From afar, the sea of flowers looks like clouds and a dream. When a breeze blows, the petals flutter down and it looks like a light rain of apricot blossoms.
Cheng Chen couldn't help but say, "It's really beautiful."
Wang Yu casually picked a beautiful apricot blossom and put it in his hair. "It looks good."
I don’t know whether the apricot blossoms he was talking about were more beautiful, or Cheng Chen was more beautiful.
A few people walked to the best viewing spot. There were already quite a few people there. Standing on the high place and looking down, they saw that the mountain was indeed covered with apricot blossoms, which was beautiful beyond words. The origin of the apricot trees on this mountain was unknown, but it was said that they had been there since the previous dynasty.
Waiting for the kids to come back after playing, but coming with them were two little girls and the fat boy Fang Zhe who had fought before. Wang Yu raised his eyebrows, thinking they were playing together.
Then they saw Lord Fang, the Right Vice Minister, and his entourage approaching. Wang Yu and Song Boyan bowed, "Lord Fang."
Minister Fang: "Master Wang, Master Song, you're welcome. What a coincidence that you're also here to see the apricot blossoms today."
Wang Yu: "Well, I heard that the apricot blossoms here are very beautiful, so I took the opportunity to take a look while Mu Xiu was here to bring his family."
Wang Yu looked around and saw that the fat boy's mother was not among Minister Fang's group. The two old people should be Minister Fang's parents, and there was also a young woman, but he didn't know who she was.
Minister Fang smiled and said, "This place is really nice. I bring my parents here every year."
The three of them were officials in the same court, and it was just a fight between children. It was impossible for them to stop interacting because of this, so the three of them chatted for a while and then separated. Dabao also said goodbye to the little fat boy.
Wang Yu asked him, "Have you reconciled?"
Dabao nodded and said, "Fangzhe apologized to us again after he came back. We were in the same classroom and were classmates. He's been much better behaved now, so Shitou and I started playing with him."
Wang Yu also nodded. The child was still young and knew that change was a good thing. Then he touched Dabao's head and said, "Dabao did a great job."
After going down the mountain, they had a bowl of apricot blossom tea and apricot blossom pastry in front of a small stall, which was in line with the scenery of the day. They exchanged cards, took the carriage and went home.
