The two brothers fell asleep with a grudge.
Wei Xi was weak and prone to coughing at night, but today he fell asleep first.
On the contrary, Wei Shu was so furious that he couldn't sleep at all.
He is the future head of the Wei family. Although he is not yet twenty years old, his family has been training him to be the future head of the family since he became sensible.
Since he was a child, he knew that he had a twin brother raised outside.
Although they had not seen each other for the first ten years, when they met again many years later, the two brothers looked very similar, and the blood bond between them was indescribable.
He regarded Wei Xi as his closest person, but in comparison, Wei Xi's attitude towards his family could be described as cold.
Before, he saw that Wei Xi would not get too close to anyone, so he thought that he was born with such a personality.
It has only been half a month since they last met, but Wei Xi's changes have caught him off guard.
He said that the people in this academy were different from others. Lao Buyu and Mu Erpang were fine, the former could indeed be called a literary genius of his generation, and the articles and poems he wrote when he was young were so elegant and graceful that it was hard not to admire him. Although the latter is less talented and has only started to learn the Four Books at this age, it is hard not to be moved by his pure heart.
Only that Shen family... Wei Xi actually protected her as well? !
If Wei Xi hadn't fallen asleep, he would have had to explain to him in detail what Shen had done to Mu Yunchuan in the past.
Wei Shu turned over on the kang again and heard a noise at the window. Thinking it was a wild cat in spring, he put on his clothes and went to take a look.
Unexpectedly, the wild cat didn’t see it, but saw Shen Cui standing outside.
"Mrs. Mu, why are you not sleeping at night and running outside the school?"
People tend to relax and take off their disguises before going to sleep at night. At this time, Wei Shu's tone is far less polite than during the day.
Chen Cui ignored him and closed the window from the outside first, then whispered, "Xiao Xi likes to open the window for fresh air before going to bed, but the wind is strong recently and he has a cough. I came to pick up Er Pang home at night, so I closed the window for him."
If these words were spoken by someone else, Wei Shu would definitely think that the other person was a kind and loving elder.
But when these words came out of Shen Cui's mouth, Wei Shu became more suspicious for no reason.
"I didn't know that Madam Mu is so kind to the younger generation. Why didn't I see you care so much about Yunchuan before?" He laughed sarcastically, "Oh, I guessed it, maybe my brother pays a lot of money here every month, so Madam Mu supports him like this."
Chen Cui was not a pushover, so she smiled faintly when she heard this and said, "On a daily basis? Master Wei and I have only met three or five times at most, so how can there be such a thing as a daily basis?"
Naturally, those daily things were spread by others, or Mu Yunchuan occasionally revealed a few things.
Wei Shu was choked by her words, and then he heard her continue: "Master Wei is not wrong. It is true that I care about Xiao Xi and I accept money from him. But didn't your headmaster also accept your money before teaching you attentively? Could it be that he is also a person who only cares about money?"
"You dare to compare yourself with our mountain chief?"
Shen Cui shrugged indifferently, "He has a college, and I have one too. It's just a different scale, so why can't I mention it?"
"You here..." Wei Shu took a few deep breaths, but didn't say anything more derogatory. He just said angrily: "Mrs. Mu is eloquent. No wonder she keeps my brother away from home."
Shen Cui had read the original book and knew that Wei Shu himself was not a bad person. Compared to Mu Yunchuan, he was a more noble and upright person.
He hates evil, has a sense of justice in his heart, and cannot bear to see any darkness in this world. Although he ended up a few years later than Mu Yunchuan, he did well in the imperial examinations and his path to becoming an official was also smooth.
But his whole life was just like a tool designed by the original book's author for Mu Yunchuan, living for others. He helped Mu Yunchuan do whatever he wanted to do. He helped deal with those people that Mu Yunchuan wanted to punish.
In the end, the country was peaceful and the seas were calm. Mu Yunchuan became a high-ranking official and famous throughout the world, but Wei Shu became an open target in the court. His wife and children were separated and he had no family. Although he also held a high position, he died alone and had a miserable old age.
The Wei Shu in front of him was full of vigor and enthusiasm, and was indignant about the affairs of his best friend and brother.
It was hard for Chen Cui not to feel sad.
She did not continue to argue with Wei Shu, but just said: "Xiao Xi said something that I think is very good and I still remember it. He said, 'As a human being in the world, the rules are in your heart. What you hear and see are not necessarily true. Only by following your heart can you live for yourself.' I hope you can also understand something from this."
After saying this, Mu Erpang came out of the main room. Chen Cui waved to him, and the mother and son held hands and went home.
Only Wei Shu was left there, frowning and pondering.
On the way home, Mu Erpang said, "Mom, I heard you quarreling with my junior brother's brother just now. Aren't you afraid that he will get angry and take my junior brother away and stop him from studying at our house?"
"What are you afraid of? Haven't you figured it out? Xiao Xi is not a person without his own opinion. If his brother could make the decision for him, he wouldn't have let him come to our house. And that Master Wei..." Shen Cui paused, "has some prejudice against mother, and I can't change his mind by saying nice things and making compromises. Besides, isn't the motto of our academy 'follow your heart'? I don't want to say or do things against my will."
Mu Erpang nodded thoughtfully, "I know about Wei's eldest brother. Just like before, he doesn't believe that we have changed. Don't be afraid, mother. I am studying very hard, and I will take the imperial examination in a few years. Although I don't have the confidence to be as good as my eldest brother, but I... I don't know how to say it, anyway, I won't let others bully you."
Mu Erpang has never forgotten the grievance and anger he felt in the tailor shop.
It wasn't that he held a grudge, but the feeling of powerlessness that made him feel very uncomfortable.
It was enough that such a thing had happened to him, and he would never let it happen to his own mother again.
His fat son is indeed as hardworking as he said, and now his overall qualifications are close to 50. Although he cannot be said to be very smart, he is much more mature than his peers in terms of mentality.
He started from a low point and his talent was not high. Although the system outputs helped him create a learning environment, his great growth was naturally inseparable from his own efforts.
Just like the comment the system had written for him earlier, he had a pure heart. Once he made up his mind about something, he would move forward courageously and would not turn back.
"Silly boy." Shen Cui touched the bun on his head tenderly, "Why are you studying for your mother?"
Mu Erpang smiled without saying anything, holding Shen Cui's hand, he jumped forward twice with light steps.
…………
The next morning, when Wei Shu woke up, he saw an enlarged fat face.
Rubbing his eyes, Wei Shu recognized Mu Erpang, who was sitting on the kang with his cheek in his hand.
Wei Xi called him senior brother, and logically he should also use this respectful title, but unfortunately the title was indeed a bit embarrassing, as Mu Erpang was much younger than him.
Wei Shu just asked him what he was doing here?
Mu Erpang lowered his voice and said, "Nothing to do. It's time to do morning exercises soon. But Junior Brother Jueqian has been woken up before, so he has a headache in the morning. So I always come here a quarter of an hour early, sit here and watch him for a while, and he will wake up by himself."
Wei Xi was indeed a light sleeper, and the sound of their conversation, which was like the humming of a mosquito, woke him up immediately.
After waking up, he began to massage his solar plexus intentionally or unintentionally.
Wei Shu thought he was the closest person to him, but before today, he never knew that he would have a headache after being woken up.
Later, when Shen Cui came back from home, she found that Wei Xi's physical fitness had dropped by 1 point. Thinking that it was probably a headache after getting up in the morning, she spent 10 shopping points to buy pills for mild headaches from the mall.
She now had more money on hand, so she could take out many things without surprising people. She just said that she bought them at the pharmacy in the city. After Wei Xi took the food, his physical condition returned to 65 points.
Then it was the morning exercise time that Mu Erpang mentioned.
The system had previously issued a daily routine asking her to set a class schedule and lead morning exercises. Although the system did not require this every day, Shen Cui thought this was a good habit and kept it.
The exercises are of course radio gymnastics. Chen Cui spent 10 shopping points to buy a set of teaching videos from the system. After watching them several times, all the related memories returned to her mind and she didn't have to remember them deliberately. It can be said that it is something that is engraved in the bones of every Blue Star person.
Chen Cui stood at the front, facing the other people in the yard, while Lao Buyu, Mu Erpang and Wei Xi stood in a horizontal line, about one meter apart on the left and right.
Wei Shu stared at Chen Cui in amazement as she gave the command, "At ease, stand at attention, and line up to the left."
Lao Buyu and the others stretched out their right feet and moved half a step forward, then retracted their feet, looked to the left towards Lao Buyu together, and then moved their bodies in small steps together to adjust their positions.
After seeing that everyone was in position, Chen Cui began to shout commands: "Today we will start with "Times Are Calling". Ready... Go! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... stretching exercises..."
So the radio gymnastics that was normal in the eyes of the people of Blue Star but unprecedented in Wei Shu's eyes was demonstrated.
No matter whether it was Chen Cui, Lao Buyu, Mu Erpang or Wei Xi, they all stretched their bodies to the maximum extent and performed various movements that seemed strange to Wei Shu.
Of course, when doing morning exercises for the first time, Lao Buyu was still quite resistant. He said that it was okay for the two children to exercise, but he was an old man and there was no need for him to get involved.
But Chen Cui wouldn't let her do that. The system required that everyone in the academy work together and no one could escape.
That day, she forced Lao Buyu to do it reluctantly. She did not save the 50 shopping points reward she received that time. Instead, she bought five pills for relieving cervical spondylosis and put them in Lao Buyu's meals.
As scholars do a lot of desk work, there is no one who is not suffering from cervical spondylosis.
Lao Buyu found that he felt much more comfortable that day.
After taking the last five pills, he exercised for five consecutive days and no longer needed to take medicine, which greatly relieved the soreness and discomfort in his cervical spine.
Therefore, he never said anything about not participating in morning exercises again.
As for the strange movements, which were completely different from the Five Animal Exercises, Lao Buyu did not explore them in detail. Anyway, no matter how strange the things were, when they were taken out of Chen Cui's hands, they seemed to be natural.
After doing exercises with Lao Buyu and the two children for a quarter of an hour, Chen Cui began to sweat a little. She let everyone rest and have breakfast.
And it was time for Wei Shu to return to the academy.
