Chapter 002 Father Wei's funeral, sister and brother meet!

Lying on the bed, covered with a quilt weighing about seven or eight pounds, curled up, feeling the cold coldness in the air. For a moment, Wei Yun's mind was full of thoughts.

Let’s talk about it in my previous life. Wei Yun was born in the 1990s. In his freshman year, when he was eighteen years old, he responded to the national call and enlisted in the army. After two years of military service, he returned to school and had just completed his university courses after four years.

Just when he was about to enter society and receive a beating, he traveled through time without any signs. Others traveled through time either by lightning, by electric shock, or by car accidents, or by falling off a cliff. Anyway, it was an accident. But Wei Yun slept well in his doghouse. When he woke up, God joked about him.

It’s a pity that his eight-pack abs, it’s a pity that his mermaid line has not even had time to find a few cute ladies to discuss in depth, but he actually traveled through time like this!

And he traveled to a nine-year-old baby. Although his name was Wei Yun, his body was so thin that it was not very good. However, the Wei family passed down through farming and reading. In this ancient society with strict hierarchy, it was also considered a kind family with innocent family backgrounds.

This is a blessing in disguise!

Wei's father was named Wei Pingyang and married Xu. He had two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter Wei Qingshu, the second daughter Wei Qingli, and the third son Wei Yun. His mother Xu was traumatized and died while raising Wei Yun. Fortunately, Wei Pingyang had a scholarly reputation and opened a private school in Daoxiang Village. The family had little assets and did not treat many children badly. He never misunderstood his education.

Among the three children, Wei Qingli and Wei Yun's appearance was somewhat similar to their mother Xu, and their appearance was only considered to be middle-aged and superior, but the eldest daughter Wei Qingshu's appearance followed Wei Pingyang. She was born in a beautiful state at a young age. She was a famous flower in the village. The people who came to propose marriage almost broke the threshold of the Wei family.

But just three years ago, when Wei Yun was six years old, Xiucai Wei suddenly fell down. In order to treat him, the two sisters exhausted the family's money.

In desperation, I could only sell most of the fields in my family, leaving only six acres of fertile land that provides food for my family, one acre of dry land, and five cents of vegetable fields in the backyard of my family.

Originally, these fields were enough for ordinary families to chew for a year, but the Wei family also had a Wei Xiucai who was ill in bed. In the face of those expensive decoctions, the only remaining fields in the Wei family seemed a little short of money.

But Wei's father's illness still did not improve. He still needed to use decoctions to save his life every day. The Wei family did not have this money, and it was almost time to see that Wei's father's decoctions were about to be broken.

The two sisters planned to sell the last six acres of fertile land in their home, leaving only one acre of dry land and half of the vegetable field behind the house to maintain their daily life.

If it doesn't work, I'll sell my yard.

Just at this moment, the eldest lady of the King of the Sheng family, the Tongzong of Yangzhou, wanted to find a good concubine for the head of the Sheng family. Wei Qingshu, who had outstanding appearance and innocent family background, caught her eyes.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wei Qingshu responded to this matter and found a good day. He sat in a pink sedan chair and entered Sheng Mansion and became Sheng Hong's concubine. Although he was a good concubine recorded in the yamen, he was just a concubine and had a low status.

The Sheng family not only sent a large amount of precious medicinal materials, but also invited the most famous doctor in Yangzhou City to treat Wei's father through connections. They solved the urgent problem for the Wei family. They also sent 30 acres of fertile land, fifty taels of silver, and five other pieces of fine cloth and brocade.

Such a generous gift is nothing more than a betrothal gift for an ordinary wealthy family to marry.

Unfortunately, Wei Xiucai's illness was a bottomless pit. After three years, the medicinal materials and fifty taels of silver sent by Sheng Mansion had already been exhausted, and all the brocade cloths were sold out. Just as the thirty acres of fertile land sent by Sheng Mansion were sold.

However, just three days ago, Wei's father became more and more ill. He swallowed his last breath on the sickbed at night yesterday, but finally left his three children and left.

Wei Yun was young, but fortunately, Wei Qingli was taking care of her family and had thirty-six acres of fertile land. Although Wei Xiucai was close to her family, her life was not bad.

A year ago, in order to celebrate Wei's father's happiness, 18-year-old Wei Qingli married a man. Her husband's surname was Ding and her husband was Ding Jian. She was originally from Huayin, Shaanxi. She fled here with her parents. Her household registration was settled in Daoxiang Village and she rented out six acres of land from the Wei family to plant.

Unfortunately, his parents were also a poor family, and the family finally settled down. However, the two old men became sick due to overwork and died.

Ding Jian set up a grave for his parents, kept his filial piety for a year, but never married.

Wei Qingli saw that he was honest and capable, honest and simple, and was very filial to his parents, so he fell in love with him.

Wei Qingli did not let Ding Jian marry into his family, but agreed with him that if Wei Yun had no son in the future, he would adopt the second son born to Wei Yun to inherit the Wei family's incense.

As for Wei Yun, he was enlightened by Wei's father since he was three years old. He was quite talented and intelligent. At the age of six, he had already finished learning the three-character essays, hundreds of families, thousands of characters, and elementary school books, and began to learn the Analects of Confucius.

Unfortunately, Wei's father couldn't afford to get sick after learning much. He spent all day long. While Wei Qingli had to take care of her father, she had to be busy with her family's property and had no time to teach Wei Yun.

Daoxiang Village where the Wei family is located is located on the west side of Yangzhou, thirty miles away from the Fucheng. There are a total of forty-three families in the village, most of which are surnamed Lin, and only the Wei family and the other four families moved here later.

However, Wei's father had the reputation of being a scholar and opened a private school in the village to teach young children in the village. He was quite famous in Daoxiang Village.

Speaking of this, I have to mention it. The country where Wei Yun is located is the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Song Dynasty known as Wei Yun is somewhat similar. The emperor's surname is Zhao. The founding Taizu was also called Zhao Kuangyin. The capital was Bianliang, also called Bianjing and Tokyo.

There were Khitans in the north, Xixia in the northwest, and several small countries in the southwest. There were also Shi Jingtang who ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. However, without the Chai-style royal family of the Later Zhou Dynasty, there was naturally no famous Chenqiao mutiny, with the yellow robe on her body.

At that time, the world was in chaos and the countries were divided. Zhou Taizu Zhao Kuangyin raised an army in Henan, first pacified the north, and set the country's name as the Great Zhou, and then led his soldiers to go south to a large extent. It took more than five years to pacify the south. Just when Emperor Taizu integrated the forces of the north and south and wanted to go north to attack the Khitan, he became ill due to overwork and fell ill.

The subsequent history was somewhat similar to that of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Guangyi, the younger brother of Taizu, ascended the throne and was named Taizong.

The emperor is also called an official family, and he also values ​​literature over military affairs, but Emperor Taizu did not say that word to rule the world with the scholars and officials.

Therefore, although the military generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not as powerful as civil officials, their status was not as despicable as those of the Song Dynasty, and there was a saying that the thief was accompanied the army.

In short, this is a specious dynasty, and history turned a corner at the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

In today's world, except for the accidental wars in the north, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty can be considered as peace and peace in the country.

These things were told to Wei Yun three years ago that Wei’s father told him on weekdays, but since Wei’s father was seriously ill, no one told him that Wei Yun had told him that these things had been told to Wei Yun.

I just don’t know if there is a world of martial arts, or those chivalrous knights who are all over the world, or those immortals who are free and carefree in the world, Feng Xu is rushing to the north sea and the evening of Cangwu.

The memories and knowledge obtained from the original body are really limited. After all, the original body is just a nine-year-old child. A little kid who has only been to Yangzhou City at the farthest distance can still count on him to know about this world.

Although I also read some books with Xiucai Wei and completed enlightenment, except for the books of enlightenment, I read some books about the Four Books and Five Classics for the imperial examination.

And those travel notes and scriptures have never been exposed to any of them. My understanding of this world is limited to knowing from the word-of-mouth of people around me.

Wei Yun, after struggling for a long time, still couldn't figure out whether he had traveled through time or was reborn in the body, or that this was his reincarnation, but now he just awakened Su Hui.

But since you come, you can rest assured. Wei Yun is not the kind of person who is stubborn. Since you can't figure it out at the moment, let's just do it like this. Life has to continue to go on.

············

Another day passed. After three days of stopping at home, Wei Yun held the spirit and threw the tiles in front of Wei's father's spirit, sent Wei's father out of the door, and buried him in the Wei family's ancestral tomb with Xu.

Wei Yun also met the eldest sister Wei Qingshu in her memory, dressed in a woman, which was a bit more beautiful than Wei Yun’s memory.

Unfortunately, Wei Qingshu is now a concubine of Sheng Mansion and cannot stay outside for a long time. After Wei's father was buried, he would go back to Sheng Mansion.

Wei's family, main hall.

The three siblings sat in the room and greeted each other for a long time. The tears in the eyes of Wei Qingshu and Wei Qingli did not stop. When the sun was about to set, Xiaodie, the maid brought by Wei Qingshu, bowed to Wei Qingli's ear and whispered a few times.

The sorrow between Wei Qingshu's eyebrows became stronger and stronger. He looked at the sky outside, then looked at Wei Qingli and Wei Yun, and sighed, "It's getting late, it's time for me to go back, and Minglan is still young, so I feel a little relieved to let her be alone at home.

Second sister, Brother Yun, if there is anything at home in the future, come to Sheng Mansion to find me!"

Wei Qingshu had only been in Sheng Mansion for three years. He had a beautiful appearance, gentle and considerate, and was very popular with Sheng Hong, the eldest son of Sheng Mansion. He gave birth to a daughter named Minglan a year ago for Sheng Hong.

Wei Qingli held Wei Qingshu's hand and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, don't worry, there are still more than 30 acres of fertile land in the family, and you don't lack food and clothing. Your brother-in-law is also quick-witted. To be honest, now that my father has gone, the family has lost a lot of expenses. I plan to send Brother Yun to school after the New Year. This is also my father's last wish during his lifetime!"

Wei Xiucai's illness was the biggest expense of the Wei family in recent years. The Wei family, which was originally considered a wealthy family, also lost its family's fortunes due to Wei Xiucai's illness, and the eldest daughter in the family fell to the point of being a concubine.

It is said that it is better to be a farmer's wife than a rich concubine. To put it nicely, it is a concubine, but to put it bluntly, it is a servant with a higher status. Life and death are in the hands of the master's family and can only be at the mercy of others.

Looking at the thin Wei Yun, Wei Qingshu sighed, rubbed Wei Yun's head, and said, "Brother Yun, my father has said you are smart since childhood. In the future, you must study hard, get a good student, and revitalize the Wei family. Don't let your father down on your expectations for you."

Wei Yun nodded and said, "Don't worry, big sister, Yun'er will definitely stop her father and two sisters' expectations. She will study hard and shine the lintel of my Wei family!"

Following the etiquette that Wei's father gave, Wei Yun straightened his back, bowed to Wei Qingshu, and gave a bow. His tender little face was full of firmness.

Qingshu nodded with relief.

Wei Qingli said again: "Sister, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the family. You are alone in the deep courtyard and have no support, but you must be careful not to fall into someone else's plot."

Wei Qingshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, second sister, I can save you." Speaking of Sheng family, it seemed that I remembered something. A little light appeared in Wei Qingshu's eyes, and the sadness on his face faded a lot.

The siblings took Wei Qingshu to the carriage outside the door, and watched the carriage slowly fade away until it disappeared from sight, and then he reluctantly returned to the house.

Now that the Wei family has returned to peace again, only Wei Qingli and Wei Yun are left, but the sad atmosphere has not yet faded.
Chapter completed!
