Chapter 245 Wan Wen left home to study
Wan Xingchen was pulled by Zhao, feeling a little confused, but Zhao didn't have time to explain to him. The family of three followed Wan Laoer and hurried to the Wan family.
As soon as Wan Laoer came back, he walked to Old Lady Wan excitedly, rubbed his hands, and looked at Mr. He with a smile on his face. A completely different feeling from before arose spontaneously. At this time, Mr. He was a shining saint in Wan Laoer's eyes.
Seeing her son being so happy, Old Mrs. Wan patted Old Second Wan's arm.
"Stupid? What's wrong?"
Before Wan Laoer could say anything, Wan Jinshu and Zhao had already pulled Wan Xingchen in.
"Mr. He, we have long heard of your name. Please forgive us for our poor eyesight and for not recognizing you."
Wan Jinshu bowed deeply to Mr. He, and Zhao also quickly pulled Wan Xingchen to bow to Mr. He.
Mr. He quickly helped Wan Jinshu up.
"General Wan did not recognize me, but I did recognize General Wan. It was just inconvenient because of my identity. I did not reveal my identity. General Wan, please do not mind."
"Mr. He, I am no longer a general, so please don't call me that. I am of a lower generation, so you can just call me Jin Shu."
"Hey, in my eyes, you are a general, a man of steel, who has guarded the territory of Da Qi from being invaded for decades. Your Wan family is a hero of Da Qi. General Wan, if my guess is correct, your good days will come soon. Da Qi has many soldiers but few generals. I don't know whether General Wan has done such things, but I have seen General Wan's achievements, and achievements cannot deceive people."
Wan Jinshu has been at the border for nearly a year, and Mr. He's words made this strong man burst into tears. This is a soulmate.
Zhao nodded gratefully. She knew that there were still wise people in the Great Qi.
Mr. He patted Wan Jinshu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, everything is over. The new emperor will be a wise ruler, and your Wan family will regain the honor you deserve. I believe the new emperor will give you an explanation."
"Thank you, sir."
Wan Jinshu bowed again.
Zhao immediately took the opportunity to step forward and said, "Sir, you are so kind. Our family is very grateful. But there is one thing I would like to trouble you with. If you find it difficult, forget it."
"Tell me about it." Mr. He glanced at Wan Xingchen who was between the two of them, and he understood everything in his mind.
"Sir, I heard that you are going back to Lushan Academy soon. I wonder if you can make an exception and take my son Chen to study with you?"
Mr. He stroked his beard gently, looked at Wan Xingchen and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhao quickly looked at her son and wanted to warn him, but Mr. He raised his hand to stop her: "Let him choose for himself. He has to walk his own path in the future. You can't help him for his whole life."
"I want to be like my elder brother and father, go to the battlefield and kill the enemies, drive them out of Da Qi and drive them back to their lair."
Zhao's face turned pale when she heard this. She knew that the men in the Wan family were born warlike.
Mr. He smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhao.
"Whether you go to the battlefield or study literature, you are serving Da Qi. Your Wan family has been military commanders for generations. If you give up military affairs and study literature, you may not be able to play the greatest value. I think it is better to let the child do what he wants in his heart. Otherwise, even if the child follows me, his heart is not in the academy, and it will be in vain. In the end, he will be unknown, and you will resent each other, which will hurt the relationship between mother and son. More importantly, Da Qi will lose another god of war."
What else could Zhao say after hearing this? She could only bow deeply, say goodbye to Mr. He, and take Wan Xingchen back.
While the Zhao family members were talking, Wan Lao Er had already told Grandma Wan about Mr. He's identity.
Old Mrs. Wan was so shocked. Their family was really lucky. If they relied on themselves, they would never know where Lushan Academy was in their lifetime. Now someone in their family could go to Lushan Academy to study, and the dean of Lushan Academy personally took him there. What a great honor!
"Second brother, what do you and your wife think? I think this is a rare opportunity. If you really can't bear to leave your child, I won't say anything. After all, Mount Lu is really far away from us."
Wan Laoer had already made up his mind when he came back. When he saw Mrs. Wan asking, he quickly said, "Mom, how can we let go of such a good opportunity? This kind of great luck is something that can only be encountered by chance. If we send Wen'er there again in the future, who knows how much effort it will take. But what his mother and I say doesn't count. We should still ask Wan Wen."
Old Mrs. Wan nodded and asked Old Man Wan to go and ask Wan Wen.
Wan Wen and Wan Ersao were in Wan Wen's room at this time. They didn't know that Mr. He's Lushan Academy was so famous.
After what Wan Laoer said, Wan Wen was also shocked. He said without thinking, "Dad, Mom, I want to follow Mr. He to Lushan Academy. I promised my sister that I would become a high-ranking official. Although our family has some money now, it is not enough to study with money. Mr. He said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. I want to follow Mr. He."
Wan Ersao was a little reluctant, "Wen'er, your father and I only have you as our son. Xiao Fubao will get married in the future and will need your support. I am really worried about you going to school alone."
"Mother, Mr. He, are you still worried? Moreover, Lushan Academy is such a high-level institution, and the people inside must be well-educated. I believe they are all gentlemen. The people I can make friends with there will all be my future colleagues. This is the dream of many people."
"I agree with Wen'er. A good man has great ambitions. Wen'er is ten years old now. I think it's time for us to let go. But you must bring enough money for the child. Except for the dowry for our daughter, the rest should be given to Wen'er. When you go out, it's always good to have some money with you."
Seeing that she was powerless to keep Wan Wen, Wan Ersao went back to her bedroom crying and packed her luggage.
Little Fubao also followed Wan Ersao into the house.
Mrs. Wan Er picked up her daughter and placed her on the kang. Little Fubao watched Mrs. Wan Er take out a money box and place it on the kang table.
When Wan Ersao opened the money box, she saw all kinds of gold, silver, jade, silver and gold leaves inside.
Wan Ersao took out her purse and put all the silver inside into the purse, which was probably more than one hundred taels. Finally, she thought about it and put the gold leaves in as well.
Xiao Fubao reached in, grabbed a jade pendant and handed it to Wan Ersao.
"Mom, give this to my brother too. I gave my eldest brother a jade token, so I also want to give my brother a jade pendant. This is fair."
There were so many jade artifacts inside that Wan Ersao couldn't recognize where the jade in Xiao Fubao's hand came from, but since Xiao Fubao wanted to give it to her, she didn't refuse and stuffed it into her purse as well.
"Come on, let's go pack clothes and food for my brother."
Wan Ersao picked up little Fubao and went to the room where Wan Quan and others lived.
Near noon, a carriage finally stopped in front of the Wan family's door. A man got off the carriage with a big knife on his back. He had a big beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was as strong as an ox. He jumped off the carriage, stood aside, and saluted Mr. He.
"Dean, I have been ordered to take you back to the academy. This is a letter from the vice-dean."
Mr. He took the letter, glanced at it, then put it away and got into the carriage with Wan Wen.
The family walked away for a long way before returning reluctantly.
Without Wan Wen at home, Wan Ersao felt empty inside. The child had never left her side for a single day since he was born, and now he was going to be so far away from her. She was really reluctant to let him go. She had no appetite and was in a bad mood.
After breakfast that day, Qiu's maid came to report the good news.
"Madam, my wife has given birth. I have sent this servant to tell you the good news. My wife has given birth to a big fat boy. The clan leader is so happy that he wants to hold a banquet for three days and three nights. Madam has sent this servant to take you over."
Old Mrs. Wan counted the days and it was almost October. Logically, the Qiu family should have made some progress. Unexpectedly, they received the good news. The family quickly packed up and got on the carriage to the Cheetah Sect.
As soon as the Wan family left, earth-shaking noise was heard in the village.
The imperial edict has arrived.
