Chapter 294: Heavy Snow

Although the old nun was also a strong man, she had no power to resist the strong man in the Forget Worry Realm in front of her. After just a moment, she was as pale as death, and she had no intention of resisting at all.

The blue-robed man glanced at the old nun, and the murderous intent in his eyes was as real as substance, as if the next moment, those murderous intent would overflow from his eyes and take her life away.

"All I want is an answer. If you really don't want to give it to me, then I will really send you to death."

The blue-robed man spoke very seriously, and when he looked at the old nun, he seemed very serious.

The old nun was silent for a long time and was unwilling to speak.

The blue-robed man said, "I really can't think of any reason for you to reject me. Your sister didn't treat you as a sister, and your brother-in-law didn't let you see your sister for the last time. If I were you, I would definitely make them pay a huge price!"

The old nun was still silent, but there was already some struggle between her eyebrows.

The man in blue robe said indifferently, "Do you know how you will be recorded in history books?"

The old nun said indifferently, "I am just a woman, why should I care what history says?"

The man in blue robe looked at her and said, "Will your name be in her book in the history books in the future?" .🅆.

The old nun, whose mind had gradually become firm, suddenly became ugly when she heard this. She looked up at the man in blue robe, and many emotions flashed in her eyes, but finally turned into confusion.

In the general's mansion back then, she and the young queen were very good sisters. The relationship between the two was so deep that outsiders could not imagine it at all. If not, how could she choose to run for the current emperor of Daliang in the capital when he started his army.

In fact, it can be said that the reason why the old nun was willing to do so many things was never for high official positions, rich salaries, glory and wealth, but just because of the friendship with the queen.

The two broke up later for many reasons, but in fact, the old nun felt that she should be the best sister and the only sister of the queen!

"She was the first to let me down..."

The old nun murmured, tears flowing down her eyes.

...

...

A scholar stood by the South Lake for a long time, then quietly left the academy and walked slowly towards somewhere in the capital. He walked through several long streets and passed through an alley. Although the snow was not shallow in the alley, there was still a group of children playing in the alley. Perhaps it was the end of the year, so all these children wore new clothes. The clothes were not necessarily made of exquisite materials, but they were always colorful and brand new.

The children lowered their heads and grabbed the snow. They used their reddened hands to knead the snow into snowballs one after another, and then held them in their palms. After looking at each other, they all nodded, and then silently said "start". Several children began to throw snowballs at each other, and a happy snowball fight began. However, when the scholar walked by, a younger child threw a snowball and it landed on the scholar's chest. In fact, the child was not very strong, and the scholar's cotton robe was thick. This small snowball fell on his chest and did not hurt. But the children were always children. When they saw someone hit an adult, they immediately threw the snowball and scattered around. Soon, only the backs of these children could be seen in the alley.

Only the child who threw the snowball before was left, standing there at a loss.

He glanced at the back of his companion who was going away. In fact, he was thinking about whether to run or not, but in the end he couldn't take a step. After stealing a glance at the scholar, he found that the scholar was not angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The scholar stood in place, stretched out his hand to wipe the snow on his chest, and said nothing.

The child mustered up his courage, took two steps, came to the scholar, and said sincerely, "Sir, I'm sorry."

The scholar looked at him with a smile on his face, and asked with a smile, "Why do you call me sir?"

The child, who was still a little nervous, was completely relieved when he saw the scholar like this. He scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "I don't know, looking at the sir, he looks like a teacher in a private school."

The scholar glanced at the child in front of him, stretched out his hand to brush off the snow on his head, and then continued to ask, "I saw you wanted to run before? Why didn't you run?"

The child hesitated for a moment before He said, "I was a little scared at first, but if I ran away, I would be sorry for the principles that the teacher taught in the private school, and I was afraid of disappointing the teacher."

The scholar nodded and agreed, "It's reasonable to be afraid of disappointing the teacher."

The child listened to the scholar's words and looked at the scholar's expression. For some reason, he felt like a spring breeze. He asked with some expectation, "Sir, are you also a teacher in the private school?"

But as soon as he said this, the child was a little nervous. Maybe he felt that the scholar in front of him looked young and didn't look very old. He was afraid that he was not a teacher.

Sure enough, the scholar quickly shook his head and said softly, "I can't be considered a teacher. I haven't accepted any students yet. I'm still studying."

The child was suddenly startled and asked in surprise, "Sir, are you still studying?"

>  The scholar hummed and said softly, "I've been studying for many years. I don't know how many more years I have to study."

The child couldn't understand the deeper meaning of this sentence, so he just echoed, "Yes, the master in the private school also said that in fact, you can't stop studying even when you are older, even if you have been admitted to the imperial examination. You can even study until your death. Studying for fame or money is actually not advisable. "

"Then your wife must be a good scholar."

The scholar was originally in a hurry to leave the alley and rush to a place ahead, but for some reason, after the child said so many words, he was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he patiently talked to the child a lot more.

"Of course Master is very good, but it would be better if he could be less fickle and more reasonable."

The child had a headache when he thought of the teacher's ruler in the private school. He was often beaten. Sometimes he forgot the homework assigned by the teacher because of his fun. When he went there the next day, he would definitely be beaten.

It's just that after other children are beaten, they may feel that they are right and that the master is too cruel. But every time the child in front of me is beaten, he understands that it is actually his fault. However, because of the nature of children, they can't help but play. So basically, no matter how sincere you are when admitting a mistake, you will have to make it again next time.

The scholar smiled and said, "I was never beaten when I was young."

The child was stunned and said, "That gentleman must be a very good scholar."

In his opinion, all the masters in the world are good at making mistakes. If they were able to avoid being beaten when they were young, this meant that the gentleman in front of him had a good temper. At least when he was young, he must have studied. Very hard.

The scholar thought for a while and remembered his childhood experiences. He remained silent. He was born in the Wei family and was the legitimate son. From the moment he was born, his fate was actually destined. When he was young, he was unable to go to the academy. The gentlemen of Mr.'s family were naturally very strict about studying. He also understood what he was shouldering, so his parents really didn't worry about studying. But in fact, just like the children in front of him, children are naturally playful. , at that time, he also longed for the life outside the Wei family, but it was just a wealthy family, blocking his sight, so he couldn't see it.

As for the scholar who entered the academy later, the gentleman who was regarded as a god by scholars all over the world was different from the Wei family. There was no rigor in it. Whether it was studying or doing something else, this scholar , probably very casual, and did not treat his students seriously, and did not take lectures seriously, so that Wei Xu was very uncomfortable at first.

He couldn't even understand how such a casual and idle scholar could win the favor of the previous dean, allowing him to become the dean of the academy and the leader of scholars in the world.

However, as he spent more and more time with his husband, Wei Xu roughly understood the truth. It turns out that scholars in the world do not necessarily have to be rigid and polite, nor do they need to talk all day long.

Otherwise, he is still a good reader.

Wei Xu raised his head and his thoughts regrouped. The child in front of him had been waiting for him for a long time. Wei Xu smiled apologetically and said softly, "It's not that good. He's just a passable scholar. But I don't know if my husband is satisfied or his parents are satisfied."

The child said oh but did not speak immediately, not knowing what he was thinking.

I don't know how long it took, but the child suddenly felt embarrassed and said, "Actually, sir, I said before that I was afraid of disappointing you, but actually I have another idea."

Wei Xu had no reason to think that the child in front of him was going to say something great, so he said seriously, "Please say it."

"Actually, when we study, it doesn't matter whether our husband is disappointed or whether our parents are satisfied or dissatisfied. The most important thing is that when we study, we have to understand what kind of person we should be and what kind of person we want to be. Just like what the Master said, the meaning will be apparent after reading the book a hundred times.”

The children pinched the corners of their clothes, and some did not dare to raise their heads to look at the scholar in front of them.

Wei Xu looked at him with a complicated expression.

Before Wei Xu could say anything, the child suddenly remembered something, and his face suddenly became a little panicked. He quickly saluted Wei Xu and said, "Sir, I still have something to do at home, so I have to take a step forward..."

After saluting and not waiting for Wei Xu to reply, the child ran away in a panic, leaving only his back.

Looking at the child's back, Wei Xu murmured, "He can be my teacher."

…

…

After Wei Xu came to his senses, the child had already disappeared. Before he could turn his head, a voice sounded beside him. The person who came was a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, wearing a gray cotton robe in the winter. , it looks a bit shabby, it must have been worn for several years.

"Mr. Wei is really in good spirits. He was able to chat with a young boy for so long. It's because of the dean's influence."

In fact, compared with the previous years, the academic style of the academy has become

It’s really a different scene. The original academy was a holy place for scholars all over the world. The masters here were naturally very knowledgeable, but they were just rigid and observant, like an old tree. But after the current president took over the academy, it became like this old tree. There are new sprouts and a lot of new ideas.

There is still no loss of knowledge in the academy, but it seems that there is no trace of obsolescence in every gesture.

Wei Xu turned to look at the middle-aged man. He didn't speak in a hurry. He just thought for a moment and then slowly said, "You are too anxious."

The middle-aged man was noncommittal and said, "Some people have been waiting for years and think it's okay to just wait in the last few days. But some people think I've been waiting for years, why do I have to wait now?"

Wei Xu naturally understood what he meant and said calmly, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. What's more, you want to eat the whole world. When you are anxious, you just ignore it. This is not good."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Mr. Wei, why should you worry? Now that things have begun, where can we turn back? Besides, I believe that things will develop according to our ideas."

Wei Xu shook his head and said calmly, "I want to see it again."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned involuntarily, feeling a little displeased.

"You can't wait, but in fact you still have to wait, so if I look at it again, it won't be a delay for you. What's more, not choosing is actually the best situation now. If we really want to involve the academy and the teacher, how can he Do it, can you handle it?"

Wei Xu looked at the middle-aged man, the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

"A great talent like the dean would not easily get involved in the situation."

The middle-aged man frowned and sighed softly, "But if possible, we really don't want to antagonize someone like the dean."

Wei Xu remained silent, actually still waiting for the middle-aged man in front of him to make his own judgment.

Seeing that Wei Xu was silent, the middle-aged man frowned and said, "Mr. Wei can't influence the academy. Could it be that the Wei family can't influence it either?"

Wei Xu looked at him and asked, "Do you think the Wei family is not as complicated as the academy?"

A dynasty, in fact, is often passed down the shortest time to the so-called royal family. Apart from the royal family, whether it is those high-ranking families that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, or this academy that has been passed down for thousands of years, it is actually complicated. The level far exceeds that of the royal family.

The middle-aged man was a little angry, "You high-ranking people, you are planning and planning, but in the end you just lack some determination, otherwise you will not be able to sit in this world?!"

Wei Xu said nothing, but the emotion in his eyes was obvious.

For those high-ranking families, what does it mean to be an emperor?

It's really not interesting.

Is there any dynasty in this world that can last for hundreds of generations without changing?

But it’s not too difficult for a wealthy family in this world, a family of thousands of generations.

…

…

At night, when the night falls, another heavy snowfall hits the city of God. The snow has not disappeared before. In fact, the snow has never stopped. Now the snow is getting heavier, and the city of God is covered in white snow.

On Xie's side, lanterns were hung under the eaves in front of the gate. The weak lights inside were reflected on the white snow. There was more light than usual, but it was still difficult to illuminate the whole world.

Tonight is the Xie family's monthly gathering, not to mention it is approaching the New Year, so naturally there will be more people. All the Xie family members stopped what they were doing early and rushed to the Xie family, just for this small gathering.

As usual, the ancestors still did not show up at this small gathering. Therefore, the person who attracted the most attention in this small gathering was the eldest brother who usually attracted the most attention. However, in recent years, the second house has gradually risen, which is also disappointing. disregard.

The people who could sit on a large round table were all important people of the Xie family, but as they changed cups, their personal emotions were different. During the dinner, a steward came to the side of a young girl and whispered After saying something, the girl stood up on her own and walked towards the depths of the Xie family in the distance. The big shots who seemed to have ignored the girl at first actually turned their heads and looked over there, with emotions in their eyes. different.

For the girl from the Bailu Xie family, many people were not optimistic at all at first, but later they had to express their love, and now they are afraid. It is reasonable. Watching the girl leave, I don’t know how many people They are all thinking the same thing at the moment.

Xie Nandu walked alone towards the depths of the Xie family. This was not the first time he had taken this road, but even now, he still didn't like it.

The steward didn't know when he left, and she didn't know when she arrived in front of the Xie family's ancestral temple.

The ancestor of the Xie family sat on that chair today, but the old man who was originally sitting on the chair was not seen.

The ancestor of the Xie family looked at this girl who was as quiet as a pear blossom, with some admiration in his eyes, and said straight to the point, "Senior Brother Wei of yours has been a little restless recently."

The city of God is too big and has too many secrets, but for a being like Xie, most of the secrets are not actually secrets.

Now they don't know that Wei Xu is with

Who is planning something, but at least he knows that Wei Xu is not staying quietly in the academy.

Before Xie Nandu could speak, the ancestor of the Xie family shook his head and said, "I just tell you about this kind of thing, but you don't need to do anything. Now that the gods are about to come, there are only a few families who can influence this important event." And an academy, you are in the Xie family and in the academy, although it is not your turn to make a decision at the moment, it is good to see more. "

Xie Nandu has been focusing on practicing these days and is actually not too concerned about the situation in the city of God. However, since he is in the whirlpool, he can't stay out of it.

Xie Nandu was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What would our ancestors choose?"

The ancestor of the Xie family did not show off and said bluntly, "I don't choose anything."

Xie Nandu looked at the ancestor of the Xie family with more doubts in his eyes.

The ancestor of the Xie family thought to himself and said, "The Xie family is different from the Wei family in that they rose up in this dynasty, so the Wei family does not care whether the world is surnamed Chen or not, but the Xie family still cares for the time being, but now the situation is complicated and confusing, and everything People's choices are all about gambling, and gambling involves risks. No matter how high the odds are, there are actually risks, so Mr. Xie does not go to the gambling table and is only a spectator. "

If you want to avoid accidents, lose money, or lose money, it’s not about learning some superb gambling skills, but about not going to the gambling table. As long as you don’t go to the gambling table, you won’t lose.

It's so simple.

Xie Nandu frowned and asked, "Is this the foundation of Xie's identity? Then why is Wei so anxious?"

The ancestor of the Xie family looked at the girl from White Deer, smiled and said, "Then I don't know."

In fact, he didn't know where it was, he just didn't want to mention it, and he didn't want to mention it. He talked about it too much, and he felt it was troublesome.

Fortunately, Xie Nandu is not the kind of woman who breaks the casserole and asks the truth. Seeing that the ancestor did not speak, he stopped talking.

One old and one young, separated by endless years, as if one person is standing at the beginning of the long river of time, and the other person has reached the end.

The ancestor of the Xie family was silent for a long time, and suddenly he smiled with interest and said, "After coming back from Cangzhou, that little guy's future is bright, but do you think he can really allow me, the Xie family, to open his doors one day?"

Xie Nandu remained silent.

The ancestor of the Xie family smiled and said, "When outsiders look at a wealthy family, they always think that getting married is all about being of the same family. But in fact, over the past two hundred years, the Xie family has married countless Xie family members." They were ordinary men who were not special at the time, and then they became famous and became a legend.”

Xie Nandu said softly, "It's still a deal."

The ancestor of the Xie family smiled and said, "Girl, you are born in the Xie family, can't you accept it? You have been asked to marry the man you like, rather than forcibly appointing a man for you. Speaking of which, if you are willing, in fact You can choose one of the three princes of the Liang Dynasty. Of course, if you choose, Xie will definitely be on the gambling table today. "

In fact, after all is said and done, it is still the so-called interests.

Xie Nandu remained silent and didn't say a word.

She hated these things from the bottom of her heart.

The ancestor of the Xie family naturally knew it, and said softly, "I know you don't like it. There's no need to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner. We'll talk about it later when you want to come back. As for those scattered gatherings, you can also put them down. The next time you come back will be for memorial." Me, an old man?”

Xie Nandu didn't say anything due to the half-joking words of the ancestor of the Xie family. She just looked at the ancestor with a dull look.

The ancestor of the Xie family waved his hands and said with emotion, "The aura of a scholar who came out of Bailu is really incomparable to the little guys here in Shendu, but..."

Before the ancestor of the Xie family finished speaking, Xie Nandu had already turned around and walked away. After all, Xie Nandu was probably the only person in the entire Xie family who could leave alone regardless of this ancestor of the Xie family. If it were anyone else, they really wouldn't have the guts.

The ancestor of the Xie family smiled slightly and looked at the girl's back without saying anything.

…

…

Xie Nandu left Xie's family all the way, and it didn't take long before he arrived at Xie's side door. The academy's carriage had been waiting here for a long time.

There was already a thick layer of snow on the roof.

It is still snowing heavily tonight in the capital city of God, and it has been closed for the past few years.

Xie Nandu turned his head and glanced at the lanterns hanging under the eaves.

After a few glances, he looked away and turned back.

A black figure stood out in the heavy snow.

Xie Nandu frowned slightly.

When the black figure got closer, she raised her eyebrows.

She could see clearly that it was a young man in black clothes, with a knife hanging from his waist, and there were some snowflakes on the hair on his head.

Still dusty.

The young man in black shirt who braved the snow and wind stared at the girl in front of him with a pair of eyes that looked like there were thousands of stars inside. He took out two roasts from his arms like a magic trick and asked, "It's still warm, do you want to eat it?" ?”
