When I woke up, it was already dusk. The sky was filled with sunset glow, making half of the sky look like a fiery fire.
The early autumn wind blew warmly on Weiyang's face. The greenery was getting thicker, and in Yanzhou, the leaves should have started to fall.
"Girl, come and fish with me."
General Yan found it a bit boring to fish alone, so he asked Butler Ding to fish with him.
"Dad, I don't fish, I watch you fish."
Wei Yang was somewhat interested in watching people fishing, but she had no patience to fish. She just moved a stool and sat down next to the old general, chatting with him.
"Girl, let me tell you. Fishing is the best way to test one's patience. You can give it a try."
Wei Yang pursed her lips, held her chin up and looked lazily at the water: "I only like to eat fish, not fishing."
General Yan was talking, but his eyes did not leave the water. After fishing a few times, he liked it more and more. In the past, when his legs were good, he did not have this patience. At that time, he preferred to go hunting on horseback and wrestle with the soldiers in the barracks.
"I'm old, and it's hard for me to walk!" General Yan sighed. If his son hadn't risked his life to drag him out of the pile of dead bodies, his old bones would have died long ago.
“How could that be?” Wei Yang retorted, “Dad is a great hero. Without the Yan family, Yanzhou would not be what it is today. No one can erase this contribution.”
General Yan put away his fishing rod, and the guard beside him hurried over to put bait on his hook. The old general pointed at the hook and said, "It's not about merit or not. We in the Yan family just can't bear to see the people displaced. Just like this bait, what bait catches what fish! We are all fish in the water."
Seeing Wei Yang's embarrassed expression, the old general laughed: "Girl, don't you understand?"
"Yeah." Wei Yang nodded with a blushing face: "I really don't understand."
"You don't need to understand. Our Yan family and Su family don't have daughters who can enter the palace. We don't have to worry about these."
"But." Wei Yang thought for a moment and asked, "What if Muchen has a daughter? What if Sixth Brother has a daughter? What if the General and I have a daughter?"
The old general looked at Wei Yang and asked seriously, "Do you want to send your daughter to the palace?"
"No." Wei Yang hurriedly shook her head. She had never thought about why the Su family would have suffered such a disaster if it weren't for her sister entering the palace.
"If you don't want to, Yan Gui doesn't want to, your sixth brother and your nephew don't want to, the daughters of our two families will not enter the palace. Only those who are interested will enter." The old general looked at the lake and said calmly.
"But big sister."
"Girl, the cause of the Su family today is because your father was indeed greedy back then, do you understand?"
Wei Yang opened her mouth, wanting to say no, but she couldn't. She thought of the guests coming and going in the front yard before the accident at home, and the tears her father shed when the accident happened.
She suddenly didn't dare to think further. It turned out that it was not Zhao Hong who wanted to suspect, but her father.
"Su girl." The old general called out, "It's not as serious as you think. It can only be said that cause and effect have their own laws. At most, your father was tempted to support your eldest sister as the crown prince, but he wouldn't dare to do anything else."
"Yes, Dad, I know." Wei Yang bit her lower lip, she suddenly felt cold. Then why did her father and elder sister protect her? Or was it for Zhao Xu, for that position!
The Yan family, for her, did commit an unforgivable sin. The Yan family, for the Su family, gave up the military power.
What virtue and ability does the Su family have
