Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 336: Uncle Yuefan, Do You Still Remember?

Although Kaiyang is the second youngest of seven children, it is rare to see him cry. The child is very strong and can endure the pain without crying even when he falls or bumps into something.

But recently, gold beans have been falling for several days in a row.

The child threw himself into Hong Xiaoduo's arms, without asking why he came back or why he was here. He just buried his little face in her arms and cried, making Hong Xiaoduo, who didn't know what was going on, cry so hard that she was heartbroken.

He reached out and picked up the child, but didn't rush to coax him, nor did he ask what was going on.

Anyway, it was definitely not the people in the Wei Mansion who treated him badly.

"It's really you. I thought I had heard it wrong." Wei Junpei, who followed his grandson out of the carriage and almost fell down in panic, was relieved when he saw Hong Xiaoduo.

I was distracted in the carriage just now and didn't hear clearly, but I felt that the female voice calling Kaiyang was familiar.

At this time, Mu Rongjing also got off the carriage.

Although the street was wide enough, it was still not appropriate for two carriages to be parked opposite each other.

"Let's go to the teahouse and have a seat." Mu Rongjing looked up at the teahouse a few meters away and suggested.

Wei Junpei naturally had no objection. He signaled the coachman and his entourage to find a place to park, and he followed them to the teahouse.

He was of course curious. How did Hong Xiaoduo, who had clearly left the capital, suddenly appear here? And why was she with the son of Marquis Fu'an?
The key point is, why are the two of them on this street?

"Kaiyang, come down and walk by yourself. You are so old, and your mother must be so tired." Wei Junpei said in a low voice as he looked at his grandson who had stopped crying and buried his face in Hong Xiaoduo's shoulder armor.

The grandson is very well-behaved and should have come down obediently. However, Kaiyang did not come down. Instead, he hugged Hong Xiaoduo even tighter.

Hong Xiaoduo held Kaiyang in one hand and gently patted the child's back with the other hand. She turned her head and said to Lord Wei, "It's okay. It's just a small bean sprout. It won't sink."

The waiter at the teahouse near the Ministry of Justice knew Prince Mu and Lord Wei, and invited them into the teahouse without any special instructions. He took them directly to the private room on the second floor, which was the best one.

The so-called best does not just mean that the room is luxuriously decorated and high-end, but that it is private, convenient for talking and very quiet.

After entering the room, Hong Xiaoduo sat down holding the child, and without letting the child get down, she looked at Lord Wei who was sitting down.

"I didn't abuse him. I was thinking about whether I could get him into the Qishan Academy. I finally made an appointment with Tan Jijiu, but he said that Kaiyang's qualifications were not good enough to enter the academy. Alas, it was also my inconsideration that made Kaiyang suffer." Lord Wei hurriedly explained in response to Hong Xiaoduo's gaze.

After the explanation, Lord Wei also felt puzzled. Why did he feel guilty in front of this girl?
"Is Qishan Academy good?" Hong Xiaoduo vaguely remembered someone talking about it, but she had no specific recollection.

"It is considered the best academy in Fengliang Kingdom. No matter whether they are royal relatives or sons of officials, they must go through several examinations and only those with the best scores can enter." Mu Rongjing explained.

Hong Xiaoduo understood what was going on. After thinking for a while, she said softly to the child in her arms, "This is the best academy, so the requirements for accepting students are naturally strict. The seven of you are smart and studious, but we have too little time to study.

It doesn't matter if you can't get in, it's not like you have to be admitted to that academy to have a bright future."

Kaiyang listened and said in a muffled and aggrieved voice: "I know this, but the chief priest said that I had been a beggar before, and I had only been studying and learning calligraphy for less than a year. He didn't even test me."

Hong Xiaoduo understood the child's grievances. At least the chief priest could test him with poems and look at his handwriting. Even if the answer was no, the child could accept it.

"Xiaoduo, after we left Qishan Academy, we met Feng Jijiu from Yungu Academy. When he learned that I was looking for a college for Kaiyang, he immediately said that we could go to his place and that Kaiyang looked like a smart child." Wei Junpei remembered and told.

Hong Xiaoduo looked at Mu Rongjing, who immediately smiled and said, "Yungu Academy is actually not worse than Qishan Academy, but Qishan Academy was founded over five dynasties and has produced many national pillars and famous poets.

Yungu Academy was founded only 20 years ago and is not as famous as Qishan Academy.

Also, the source of students admitted to Yungu Academy is different from that of Qishan Academy. As long as they are serious about studying and have good character, they will be accepted.”

"It sounds like this Yungu Academy is pretty good, Kaiyang. Don't worry about the fact that the chief priest of Qishan Academy won't accept you. No matter how good or smart you are, we only have a short time to study, so we'll be at a disadvantage no matter how we take the exam.

Moreover, the reason why we go to the academy is to make ourselves better and more knowledgeable, not for their fame.

Don't think about other insignificant things. Why do you have to think about these things? Do you remember what I told you before?" Hong Xiaoduo hugged the tearful child in her arms and asked softly.

Kaiyang thought about it seriously and nodded, "Remember, you said not to think about meaningless problems, because that will exhaust your spirit, make you tired, lost, anxious, and over time you will exhaust yourself.

Mother, Kaiyang was confused, and Kaiyang will never be like this again. "Speaking of this, Kaiyang's eyes lit up and he wiped the tears from his face with his sleeves.

"Yes, that's right." Seeing that the child really understood, Hong Xiaoduo took out the handkerchief with confidence and wiped the child's face again.

The short conversation between the big and the small shocked Wei Junpei and Mu Rongjing. Although the mental exhaustion Kaiyang just mentioned was an unfamiliar term to them, they understood it after thinking about it for a while.

She didn't say anything just now, that it would be a loss for Qishan Academy if Kaiyang was not accepted, nor did she say that Kaiyang should study harder and make Tan Jijiu regret it in the future, nor did she say that he should study hard, make a name for himself, or anything like that.

Wei Junpei suddenly felt that he was too narrow-minded at his age!
He even had an idea whether it would be most appropriate to let Kaiyang continue to follow her and let her teach him.

"Mom, why are you here?" Kaiyang, who no longer had any doubts in his heart, thought about serious matters and asked.

Mu Rongjing reached out to help Lord Wei make a cup of tea and listened attentively, wanting to hear how she would explain to Kaiyang.

"Do you still remember Uncle Yuefan?" Hong Xiaoduo asked Kaiyang first.

"Remember, Uncle Dong Yuefan from Mopan Town, he returned to the capital? So, mom came to see him?" Kaiyang asked happily.

If Uncle Yuefan returns to the capital, he will have one more familiar person in this strange place.

"There was a case in which he was framed and is now locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. I heard the news after I left the city, so I came back." Hong Xiaoduo felt that she could tell Kaiyang about this.

The surname Dong, the prison of the Ministry of Justice? These two key words made Wei Junpei's eyes widen immediately, and he looked at Mu Rongjing: "Could it be the youngest son of Prime Minister Dong?"

Mu Rongjing held back his laughter and nodded. Sure enough, Lord Wei couldn't believe it when he heard it.

"Xiao Duo, do you know that useless guy from Prime Minister Dong's family?" Wei Junpei wanted to confirm it again.

From the few sentences just now, it is not difficult to hear that Hong Xiaoduo and his grandson not only know Dong Xiang’s unprogressive youngest son, but also have a close relationship with him. His grandson calls that boy uncle!
"Well, I met someone I knew when I brought the seven of them to Mopan Town." Hong Xiaoduo briefly introduced the situation at that time.

"Grandfather, Uncle Yuefan treated us very well. He never looked down on us and even took us to eat delicious food. When we left, he gave mother a lot of silver, saying that it was not easy for mother to raise the seven of us." Kaiyang remembered it clearly.

"Yes, there are also gold leaves and gold ingots." Hong Xiaoduo could tell from Uncle Wei's reaction that Uncle Wei didn't have a very good impression of Brother Dong.

"That kid is doing this to you, could it be?" Lord Wei blurted out as he looked at Hong Xiaoduo, but in the end he swallowed the words "with ill intentions" back.

Hong Xiaoduo smiled and shook her head, "No, the Brother Dong we met was straightforward and open-minded."

"His case is different from Nie Qing's. It's difficult. Old fellow Dong Xiang has been asking for help everywhere recently. Alas." Lord Wei sighed when he said this.

When Kaiyang heard this, his face immediately became nervous.

"He was wrongly accused, and the real murderer has been found today. I guess it won't be long before he's acquitted." Hong Xiaoduo quickly told Kaiyang.

Hong Xiaoduo is the person Kaiyang trusts the most, so when she said that Uncle Yuefan would be fine and would come out soon, she knew that he would definitely come out soon.

"Grandfather, Kaiyang wants to go see Uncle Yuefan, is that okay?" Kaiyang turned around and asked.

The child looked at him expectantly, with tears on his eyelashes. How could Wei Junpei have the heart to say no?

In the prison cell of the Ministry of Justice, Dong Xiang finally saw his youngest son. He looked at his sleepy son through the bars. He felt sorry for his son and his sad mood immediately disappeared. He said in a low voice, "Your father told you not to hang out with those useless people. Now that you are in trouble, you still have no regrets?"

Dong Yuefan was also very excited and moved when he saw his father and second brother. Seeing his father become haggard and older because of his affairs, he felt very remorseful and guilty. When he heard his father's scolding, he did not feel resistant as before.

"Father, I am sorry for not living up to my expectations and causing you to worry. I am an unfilial son." Dong Yuefan bowed to his father guiltily.

Seeing his son like this, Prime Minister Dong sighed. After all, he was his son. No matter how unpromising he was, he was still his son. He felt sorry for him.

"Things have come to this. Your father and your brothers have been trying to find a solution. You don't have to lose heart. However, if this matter can be resolved safely, your father will send you to the Northwest Army for training." Prime Minister Dong was not good at comforting people either.

"Sixth brother, don't blame father for missing you. You didn't see us in prison. We looked for people everywhere for your case, but those who were on good terms with our family avoided us. Some even advised father not to ruin his reputation because of you.

"Sixth brother, those are just your drinking buddies. The only people in this world who truly wish you the best are our family members. After this incident, you must be more sober." Dong Yuejie also seized the opportunity to persuade him earnestly.

Dong Yuefan naturally didn't agree with his second brother's words, but when he thought about his father and family not being able to eat or sleep well because of his own affairs, he couldn't bear to refute him.

At this time, they heard the sound of someone coming over here. Dong Xiang and his son looked over there and saw someone walking towards this side with a food box. They thought it must be a relative of a prisoner who came to visit.

Who would have thought that the bailiffs would actually bring the person to their side.

Hmm? Wei Junpei, Minister Wei?
"Uncle Yuefan?" Dong Xiang and his second son were still confused. Who did Minister Wei bring a child to see? Then they heard the child calling Uncle to the sixth child in the fence...
