14 Theory of Talent Flowing
◎Wei Qing: They are the only two people who can make me angry.◎
When Wei Qing came in, he saw a little boy lying on his eldest nephew's lap, and his youngest nephew standing beside the bed. He almost fell down, but General Li Xi supported him.
"Qubing, Ayan, aren't you two at home?"
He stared at his two nephews, his usually gentle eyes now filled with fury, "You two have sneaked out of the house again!"
Huo Qubing subconsciously escaped from his sight, and Huo Yan immediately lowered his head, trying to pretend not to know him.
Unexpectedly, the child on his lap whimpered and woke up. He put his face close to Huo Qubing's and smiled happily.
"Bingbing!" He grabbed Huo Yan's hand again, "Yanyan!"
Huo Qubing and Huo Yan's pupils trembled.
My dear brother, you are so mean!
Wei Qing was always gentle and I never saw him get angry with anyone.
But today was completely different. He was so angry that two red clouds rose on his face. His eyes, which were originally as gentle as the edge of the rising sun, now had the sun implanted in them, and his almond-shaped eyes were full of exploding flames.
Huo Yan didn't dare to move. He swallowed his saliva and leaned closer to the bed. If the child wasn't too small, he would probably have to hide behind him.
Wei Qing was about to step forward, but someone was faster than him.
General Li Xi got on the bed and hugged his young son. He left a message to Huo Qubing and Huo Yan saying that he would come to thank them another day, and then led the others who wanted to watch the fun out.
Oh, these two kids just finished sleeping, so I'll help them out. After all, no one wants to be spanked by people watching.
Only the uncle and nephew were left in the room.
Wei Qing said, "Huo Qubing!"
Huo Qubing immediately jumped off the bed to facilitate his escape.
Seeing this, Wei Qing snorted and said, "Huo Yan!"
For a moment it was as if the devil was humming.
Huo Yan immediately took the animal hair off the bed and wrapped himself and Huo Qubing with it.
This way, even if my uncle spanks me like my mother does, it won’t hurt too much.
"Uncle, let's play a game. I'll be the little bear, okay?"
Huo Qubing clutched the animal skin tightly, as if it were his lifeline, and said, "Let's play a game!"
Wei Qing didn't say anything, but just held them in his arms with the animal skins attached, then separated the two conjoined twins, holding one in each hand.
"Please, young gentlemen, explain to your poor uncle why you are here when you are at home."
Huo Yan saw the smooth muscle lines on his uncle's arms and sighed, "Oh no, my uncle is too gentle. I forgot he is a military commander."
He stopped struggling and sat obediently beside Wei Qing, and began to tell him everything that had happened today, but he concealed the dangerous things he and Huo Qubing had done. He only said that they sneaked out to visit the market, saw someone being kidnapped, and quickly went to report to the authorities.
Huo Qubing also agreed on the other hand, and never mentioned Huo Yan using himself as bait and leading the siege.
Wei Qing straightened their clothes and patted each of them on the shoulder.
"You observed the surrounding details and remained vigilant at all times. That's excellent. You promptly reported to the authorities without panicking, which is excellent. You led the soldiers without fear of danger. The courage and composure required of a strong man are both excellent. You all possess them. That's excellent." He patted the two children's heads again, smiling gently in the setting sun. "Seeing a child in need of comfort, you were willing to stay and help, showing compassion for the weak. You did a great job. Your uncle is proud of your actions."
Huo Qubing puffed out his chest.
"Of course I can protect everyone."
Huo Yan's ears turned red. "It's not as good as my uncle said. Pa Huazi deserved to die."
Wei Qing didn't say anything. He just took them by the hand, said goodbye to Li Xi, and left.
[My uncle is so gentle.]
[No wonder these two are such naughty kids!]
[Encouraging education is awesome!]
[Uncle: This is good, that is good too. I am proud of you.]
[God, please give me an uncle!]
[Where can I find a husband with such emotional stability?]
[To be honest, my uncle is a bit spoiled. Even if there are good things, the bad ones can't be let off.]
[This situation deserves a good meal of fried pork and belt before being praised.]
[Yeah, I'm spoiling my child too much. Forget about Bingbing, but I can't spoil my rebellious son.]
[Ayan: You little bastard, wait till I have time to scold you to death.]
…
Huo Yan looked at the barrage, then looked at his uncle who was still very gentle beside him, and hummed in his heart.
My uncle is not spoiling me. He just loves us and doesn’t want to hit me.
Huo Qubing held his head high and became even more arrogant.
My uncle loves me very much.
It’s a pity that they were too optimistic this time.
Because Wei Qing knew that war is a treacherous art.
As soon as they entered the house, Wei Qing detained them both in the main hall, and then sent someone to call Wei Ai, who was recuperating at home.
Huo Yan and Huo Qubing's bodies suddenly stiffened.
Shrimp and pig heart!
If their grandmother knew about their affair, not only would the Jinshan Mountain be flooded, but all the aunts and uncles would know about their little affair.
After all, ever since their grandmother and mother came into being, everyone in the Wei family knew what the bellybands they wore when they were young looked like.
"uncle."
They stood up almost at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right, with Huo Qubing on the left acting coquettishly and Huo Yan on the right holding the certificate.
In an instant, the two kinds of rebellious sons were sent directly into Wei Qing's arms.
Wei Qing snorted coldly, pushed their little fleshy hands away, and said to Huo Qubing, "Be good, you can go and act like a spoiled child to your grandmother later. She likes me the most."
Huo Qubing wilted, "Uncle, you might as well just slap me on the butt like mother did."
Huo Yan nodded and made another promise, "Uncle, go ahead and hit me. I promise I won't cry and scream this time."
Wei Qing raised his hand to look away from his confident little face, "Ah Yan, be good too. I promise to tell grandma later."
Huo Yan and Huo Qubing became daylilies together.
Wei Qing pinched each of their pretty boys. The Wei family had good looks, and Huo Yan and Huo Qubing were no exception, with fair skin, almond eyes, green hair and red lips. Whenever they were together, they looked like two little golden boys, raising their dark almond eyes and blinking them to melt people's hearts.
Unfortunately, the person they met was Wei Qing.
Wei Qing knew what they were up to the moment he touched them. He shook his finger and chuckled, "You sneaked out of the house without anyone's permission. You have to give an explanation to Grandmother and everyone else."
He continued, "I've thought about it, and I realize you two are both tough guys. Beating you won't give in, scolding you is just a tickle, and grounding you is completely ridiculous. So, it's better to leave this matter to Grandma and have some free time."
Huo Yan and Huo Qubing shook their heads repeatedly, "Uncle can handle it. There's no need to bother Grandma."
Wei Qing sat upright and said, "If we save face in everything, won't you commit the same offense again and again?"
Huo Yan was suddenly numb. He already knew what his uncle meant, but he still wanted to go out later, so he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Huo Qubing also heard it and shook his head and refused to do it.
Wei Qing didn't say much, just asked someone to urge Wei Ai to dress up.
Huo Yan and Huo Qubing stood up involuntarily, with their heads lowered.
Finally, Huo Qubing said, "I'll take my uncle with me."
The only small hole leading out of the house was blocked, and Wei Qing was planning to transport a few more large stones to build a rockery.
Huo Qubing blinked and tears fell. In order to avoid being seen in such a state, he buried his face in Huo Yan's shoulder.
Huo Yan was sad but also secretly relieved.
This hurdle has been passed. My uncle probably won't invite my grandmother, and she won't know that he went to the kidnapper's den.
Great! His heart was bursting with joy.
Although I can't go out, fortunately, the bigger bad things have been covered up.
Seeing that they were sad, Wei Qing bent down and looked at them at eye level.
"Ayan, Qubing, raise your heads. Uncle has something to tell you."
They both raised their heads. They were actually very good kids.
Wei Qing couldn't help but rub their furry little heads. "Do you know why your uncle wants to plug this hole?"
Huo Qubing cried, "You won't let me go out!"
Wei Qing wiped his tears without saying a word and motioned for Huo Yan to speak.
Huo Yan didn’t know, and finally he said, “Let’s behave.”
Wei Qing shook his head and smiled. His face was coated with a soft light under the oil lamp installed outside the Wei family's house. He was still tolerant and gentle. "I'm not asking you to be good, nor am I asking you not to go out in the future."
"I'm telling you that your ever-growing talent is like flowing water; it's constantly increasing. If you take shortcuts, you'll need to constantly mend your character and impose constraints on yourself, rather than constantly looking for shortcuts. Otherwise, your talent will overflow, becoming the flood that left people homeless two years ago."
Huo Qubing and Huo Yan were both stunned.
Huo Yan understood that they were being clever and had gone astray. His uncle was worried that they would continue to be clever and bring disaster to the country and the people in the future.
Huo Qubing thought for a moment, then tilted his head and asked Wei Qing a question, "Uncle, if Ah Yan and I turn evil, will it have the power of a flood? Does this count as what Ah Yan meant by a single thought turning us into demons? If so, we're incredible."
Huo Yan's eyes lit up as he high-fived Huo Qubing, "Yeah, now that I think about it, my uncle really values us!"
Wei Qing thought they were having some feelings, but upon hearing that, his gentle and graceful demeanor could no longer be maintained, and his veins bulged again. He swallowed his words, originally telling them to just inform him and Wei Ai and bring someone with them when they went out. He picked up the shovel that the servant beside him was using to dig the soil, and roared, "You two rascals, you don't follow the right path! You're always thinking of crooked ways!"
Huo Qubing and Huo Yan looked at each other and decisively ran in two directions.
Wei Qing sneered, and the servants who were digging a hole behind him also split into two groups with a smile to chase the two young masters of their family.
Later, according to the neighbors of the Wei Mansion, the twins of the Wei family cried out incessantly that day.
How can you hit a child like that!
When they came to persuade them, the doorman of the Wei Mansion told them everything about the twins running away from the mansion, and they immediately turned around and left.
These two bastards deserve to be beaten!
Later on, the two little kids in the Wei Mansion who would scream and howl when being chased, one became Marquis of Guanjun, and the other became Imperial Censor.
Fortunately, these two remembered the teachings and did not become demons that bring harm to the world. This is a cause for celebration.
People all sighed with emotion, saying that it was all because General Wei had taught them so well back then.
Later, thanks to a gossipy Mr. Sima, General Wei's theory of talent flowed freely in later generations and became a masterpiece of all time.
General Wei became a well-known educator because of this sentence.
It's a moving story, a moving story.
