Wei Shu put away the book in doubt, and followed Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying asked Dai Ting to get a sack and came back, and took Wei Shu to find Zhangsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji was arranging various affairs, when he saw Li Yuanying coming, he asked strangely: "Your Highness isn't going to the lecture hall, why are you here?"
Although Wei Shu is Wei Zheng's granddaughter, she has little chance to meet her eldest grandson Wuji. She was intelligent by nature, and she could tell from a distance that Changsun Wuji was of extraordinary status from his purple clothes and gold belt, so she immediately waited quietly outside the door, neither looking casually nor opening her mouth casually.
Li Yuanying didn't have as many worries as others.
After all, Changsun Wuji is the uncle of Sizi and the others. In the early years, he and Empress Changsun depended on each other for life, and now he is quite trusted by His Majesty Li Er, and he ranks among the three princes as a foreign relative!
From Li Yuanying's point of view, he and Changsun Wuji could be regarded as relatives rounded off. He directly explained his purpose to Changsun Wuji: "I see that there are many discarded official documents in each yamen. After the decree is conveyed, it will be useless. Waste! I want these waste papers. Can you write a letter to let me go and talk to the people below?" Do people ask for it?"
Changsun Wuji has always been kind to others, after hearing Li Yuanying's words, he felt that it was nothing to discard official documents, so he quickly wrote a letter and asked Li Yuanying to go in and make trouble.
Li Yuanying asked for the handwritten letter written by Changsun Wuji himself, happily ran out to join Wei Shu, and motioned Wei Shu to open the sack with him, and ran to various yamen to ask for discarded official documents.
Changsun Wuji is currently the top leader in the court, who dares to neglect his orders? Li Yuanying stuffed the sack to the brim without running a few places.
A sack of paper was too heavy, so Li Yuanying handed over the task of carrying the sack to the people behind him, and dragged Wei Shu away from where Wei Zheng was on duty.
After running far enough, Li Yuanying slowed down and boasted to Wei Shu about his cleverness: "How is it? There are so many papers, enough for you to write for a long time! Isn't my method great!"
Wei Shu thought to herself, only Li Yuanying can do this kind of thing. Changsun Wuji occupies the position of Sikong, who dares to easily ask for his handwriting
But Li Yuanying helped him get so much paper, Wei Shu was naturally grateful. She boasted: "Your Highness really has a way!"
Li Yuanying successfully met a new friend and helped him, feeling very complacent, and walked back with Wei Shu swaggeringly.
Seeing Mrs. Pei at Wei Zheng's residence, Li Yuanying greeted Mrs. Pei sweetly, and then asked Mrs. Pei if he could carry the sack of discarded official documents into Wei Zheng's study.
When Mrs. Pei heard that Li Yuanying had asked someone for the paper, she gave Wei Shu a disapproving look.
Wei Shu was always more lively in front of her grandmother, so she quietly made a cute face at Mrs. Pei.
Pei stared at her.
Li Yuanying helped Wei Shu explain: "These papers are all used. They are of no use to the various yamen. They can just be used to practice calligraphy for sister Shu." Sizi, they all love to cling to him, and when they meet Wei Shu, they subconsciously take care of him a little more.
Seeing what Li Yuanying said, Mrs. Pei didn't blame Wei Shu anymore, but felt that what Li Yuanying said was completely different from what her husband said.
What a caring child! How could my son and grandson take care of my sister when they were his age? It would be nice not to bully my sister!
With Pei's permission, Li Yuanying graciously asked someone to carry the sack of discarded official documents into Wei Zheng's study.
Wei Zheng obviously loved Wei Shu very much, and set up a desk for her in the study, complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
After all, Wei Zheng was also a senior member of the court, so it was impossible for him to be completely poor, so he would give his granddaughter what should be given to him. In the final analysis, Wei Shu loves calligraphy too much, and these alone are not enough for her to practice, so she goes outside to repeatedly draw with branches.
They all came to Wei Zheng's study, so Li Yuanying naturally wanted to finish his task by the way. He said: "I heard that your grandfather has a good relationship with Chu Suiliang and the others. You must have a lot of their manuscripts at home, right?"
Wei Shu was sorting out the sack of discarded official documents. Hearing this, she got up and took down several volumes of manuscripts from the shelf, and unfolded one of them for Li Yuanying to read: "This is Duke Ouyang's manuscript."
Li Yuanying received it in his hand and was not in a hurry to read it, but said to Wei Shu, "You should sort out those official documents first, or your grandfather will definitely scold you when he comes back and sees the mess! I'll just look at it myself," he said. He also consulted Wei Shu, "Is there nothing you can't see here?"
Wei Shu often reads these scrolls by herself on weekdays, and has never been stopped by Wei Zheng. She heard Li Yuanying confirming to herself so politely, and said without much thought: "Then you watch first, I can sort it out soon."
Li Yuanying pretended to read the original manuscript of Ouyang Xun in his hand, and according to the instructions of Wanjie Library, he easily picked out "Ten Gradually Unable to End Shu" hidden on the bookshelf by Wei Zheng.
He happily turned on the scanning function, and began to collect the original manuscript of "Ten Gradually Unable to End" into the Wanjie Library.
Only halfway through the scan of "Ten Gradually Unable to End Shu", the curtain of the study room was lifted from the outside.
It was Mrs. Pei who came in with two bowls of red bean soup.
Pei greeted with a smile: "Your Highness, it's hot, why don't you drink some red bean soup? Although it's not a good thing, it can relieve the heat."
Li Yuanying was not at all panicked about being caught peeking at other people's things, and calmly read "Ten Gradually Unable to End Shu" completely before putting it back to its original place, turning around and thanking Mrs. Pei obediently.
Pei felt more and more that he was a good boy.
Li Yuanying achieved his goal and was in a good mood, so he obediently sat opposite Wei Shu and drank red bean soup.
Pei's cooking skills are very good. The red beans in this soup are so overcooked that they have been soaked in cold water through a bowl. Holding them in your hands is cool, and most of the irritating heat in summer has dissipated immediately.
When Li Yuanying tasted it, he felt a hint of sweetness spread in his mouth, it was very delicious.
Li Yuanying has always had a straight-talking temperament, and immediately praised with bright eyes: "It's so delicious!"
Pei Shi liked this child even more.
Li Yuanying and Wei Shu sat opposite each other and finished the red bean soup. They were thinking about the bag of sunflower seeds that the mission rewarded, and after Mrs. Pei went out, they quietly made an agreement with Wei Shu: "I'm going to take Sizi and the others to plant a novel flower tomorrow." Son, do you want to come together?" In order to let Wei Shu know how rare the flowers he wants to plant, Li Yuanying pulled a piece of paper, asked Wei Shu's pen and ink to outline the appearance of sunflowers on it, "Look, It looks like this. If it grows well, the flower disc can be as big as our head. On the flower disc, there are circles of sunflower seeds that are tightly packed together. These sunflower seeds are edible, and they are fragrant after frying. You can eat them when you bite them. Eat delicious seeds!"
Li Yuanying also described the appearance of sunflowers to Wei Shu: they bloomed in big flowers on high branches, and the green and green leaves were originally very big, but the flowers were even bigger than the leaves.
What's more special is that when the flower is ready to bloom, it will chase the sun. As the sun goes from east to west, its buds will also turn from east to west, ensuring that it will always bloom towards the sun!
Wei Shu had never heard of such flowers, so she was naturally aroused by Li Yuanying, and immediately accepted Li Yuanying's invitation.
Li Yuanying was very happy, said goodbye to Wei Shu happily, and went back to his residence to receive the task reward and plan the sunflower planting plan for the next day.
Wei Zheng didn't see Li Yuanying looking for him when he went to Xia Ya that day, and he also heard from Kong Yingda that Li Yuanying still skipped class today, so he was a little disappointed: this kid is still the same, and he can't be expected to change.
It wasn't until he returned to his residence that Wei Zheng found out that Li Yuanying had been playing with Wei Shu for a long time.
Pei looked very happy: "Your Highness also praised the red bean soup I cooked is delicious."
Wei Zheng had no pursuit of appetite, he just said: "Why did he get together with Shu'er?"
Mrs. Pei said: "It's a coincidence that we met outside. Shu'er always likes to go out, it's not unusual." Mrs. Pei also asked Li Yuanying to help Wei Shu get a bunch of discarded official documents.
Wei Zheng frowned when he heard this, and keenly felt that Li Yuanying had ulterior motives. But what could Li Yuanying have in mind? Wei Zheng said, "I'll go and have a look." He handed the removed Futou to Mrs. Pei, and walked into the study to see what his granddaughter was doing.
Wei Shu got so much paper, so she is addicted to practicing calligraphy. As long as she can practice a lot, she doesn't feel that the study room is too stuffy at all.
Seeing Wei Shu's focused expression, Wei Zheng could not help but feel pity in his heart: It's a pity that this child was born as a daughter. If she was born as a boy, if she grows up, she might be named on the gold list and famous all over the world!
However, the secular world is quite harsh on women. Even if a woman is talented, she can only be called a "virtuous wife" and cannot show her strengths like a man. At least, many men are not happy that their wives are better than themselves , feel detrimental to dignity and face.
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng's heart softened. He didn't reprimand Wei Shu as usual, but carefully looked at Wei Shu's writing and pointed out several areas for improvement.
Wei Shu got her grandfather's advice, and immediately rewrote it, and saw that most of the shortcomings pointed out by Wei Zheng were corrected on the spot!
Seeing that Wei Zheng was looking at her with regret and pity, Wei Shu took the opportunity to tell the agreement between herself and Li Yuanying tomorrow, and asked Wei Zheng if he could go.
Wei Zheng frowned involuntarily when he heard that Li Yuanying actually asked Wei Shu to meet tomorrow. He wanted to object, but he couldn't say "No" to his granddaughter's expectant eyes.
Wei Zheng said: "Okay, you go." Anyway, Princess Jinyang and the others are going too, there will be no danger! After agreeing, Wei Zheng became curious about the sunflowers his granddaughter mentioned, and asked Wei Shu to show him the flowers drawn by Li Yuanying.
Wei Shu had already put away the sunflower painted by Li Yuanying, and when Wei Zheng wanted to see it, she took it out and showed it to Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng has lived for nearly sixty years, but he has never seen such a flower. He stroked his beard and said, "It's quite strange, just go and have a look."
Although Wei Shu matured a little earlier than her peers, she was still a half-grown child, and she should have no less curiosity than other children. She asked: "It is said that if you plant this flower now, it will bloom in July and August. Will we stay until then?"
Wei Zheng nodded: "This time I will stay for half a year, and I will naturally be here in July and August."
Wei Shu was a little excited when she learned that she could see the sunflowers blooming, and carefully put away the sunflowers that Li Yuanying had drawn for her.
Wei Zheng saw that Wei Shu rarely showed the joy and happiness that children should have, and felt that he was right to allow Wei Shu and Li Yuanying to play.
His granddaughter was smarter than other children since she was a child, and she was asked to play with others, but she always didn't like to go, saying that she didn't want to play those games played by children.
But where can a six or seven-year-old child hold a book and read all day long
Before falling asleep at night, Wei Zheng told Pei Shi about asking Wei Shu and Li Yuanying to play tomorrow.
Pei is very relieved about this. The feeling of a woman is very strange. Although I only saw Li Yuanying twice, Mrs. Pei already knew that this child is good everywhere, and she is also very reliable! She replied: "Shu'er wants to go, so naturally let her go."
Wei Shu on the other side fell asleep early.
In her dream that night, there were big sunflowers blooming towards the sun, golden and very beautiful.
The author has something to say:
Little Prince: Yes, I am very reliable!
Old Wei: It was an evening full of sunshine. I was soft-hearted and did not refuse my granddaughter's request. If I were given another chance...
