Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 353 Little Wei Yuan, You Need to Grow Up Quickly

Wei Yuan, Dong Jian, Minister of War Cao Yaoheng, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Palace Guard, Deputy Privy Councilor Qin Zhen, Minister of Revenue Hai Zhou and other important officials discussed the Northern Expedition for the next year for about fifteen days.

In mid-October of the third year of Kaiwu, Wei Yuan, on behalf of the official Zhao Xi, sent Dong Chen out of the city and sent 200 tiger guards to escort Dong Chen all the way to Tubo.

Outside Bianjing City.

Dong Jian looked at the tall and thick city wall in front of him, and a look of mixed thoughts appeared in his eyes.

He didn't know whether Tubo would have such a big city in the future.

I don't know even more.
"Brother Wei, after this separation, I don't know when we will meet again, please take care."

Dong Jian bowed to Wei Yuan according to the Central Plains etiquette.

Wei Yuan returned the greeting: "Brother Tianjue, the journey is long, take care."

The two said goodbye.

If it is said that Li Liangzuo and Yelu Xinxian met each other too late, then was it not the same between Wei Yuan and Dong Zhen?

This is what they mean when heroes appreciate heroes.

However, neither of them knew whether there would be a conflict between Zhou and Tubo in the future.

Wei Yuan wanted to annex Tubo and complete the unification of the territory.

But he knew that in this era, even if he annexed Tibet, it would only be temporary.

Because the people there have not yet been fully assimilated into the Chinese language.

Only cultural unity is true unity.

Wei Yuan returned to his house only after Dong Zhan left.

Before this, he had always stayed in the Xuan Zheng Hall and had never returned to the Guanjun Marquis Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Wei Yuan saw Zhang Guifen and Xie Yuying approaching.

There are also Wei Jingshu, Wei Qiji and Wei Zhixing who is already three years old.

Wei Yuan picked up Wei Zhixing and asked Zhang Guifen, "Has anything happened during the time I was away from home?"

Zhang Guifen said, "Go take a shower and change your clothes first, and we'll discuss everything later."

Wei Yuan nodded.

After everything was packed up, Zhang Guifen looked at Wei Yuan with an extremely serious expression and said:

"There is one thing you need to be mentally prepared for."

Wei Yuan asked curiously, "What could possibly stump your husband? Just tell me."

Zhang Guifen hesitated for a moment, as if she didn't know where to start or how to express it.

Wei Yuan frowned and asked, "What happened?"

He rarely saw such a serious expression on Zhang Guifen's face, and he knew that the matter was serious.

Zhang Guifen took a deep breath and stopped hiding it. She was afraid that she couldn't hide this kind of thing.
"My eldest sister is ill. The imperial physician in the palace said that she will not survive this year."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment.

And this moment of stunned silence seemed as if he was unaware of the passage of time and the changing of years.

I don’t know how much time passed.

During this period, Wei Qiji wanted to show Wei Yuan a new set of spear skills he had learned.

Before he reached Wei Yuan, he saw his mother shaking her head.

He didn't dare to go any further and stood outside the pavilion, not knowing what had happened to make his father so shocked.

Zhang Guifen didn't dare to say anything, but just held Wei Yuan's hand tightly.

Wei Yuan thought about many things.

He thought of the scene when he was young, when his quiet elder sister did not hesitate to curse at him in order to vent her anger.

When my parents were sick, the family was extremely poor. No matter what food or drink we had, my eldest sister always took care of herself first.
I also thought about many of my childhood experiences.

One thing after another, like a passing tour, appeared in his mind.

After a long time, he slowly stood up, took off the brocade robe he was wearing, stood outside the pavilion, and let the autumn wind rage.

Zhang Guifen stood behind him, also silent.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Seeing Wei Yuan standing with his hands behind his back, Zhang Guifen said solemnly,
"Life and death are determined by fate."

He has changed a lot of things.

But the fate of all people in this world is already determined by heaven. "Prepare the car and build a house."

Soon, accompanied by Zhang Guifen, Wei Yuan came to the Sheng family.

Sheng Hong, Sheng Changbai and others did not know in advance that Wei Yuan was coming. Only after hearing the report from the servants did they rush to the door of the house.

At this time, Wei Yuan had already arrived at the front yard, and he walked towards Mu Cang Zhai with an expressionless face.

Every step I take is heavy and powerful.

Sheng Hong and others had never seen Wei Yuan like this before. His calmness was frightening. It seemed that every time he moved his hands and feet, there was a murderous aura and killing intent emanating from him, which made people shudder.

Wei Yuan had been in the military for more than ten years, and he had never lost his composure like this when facing his own people.

Yes, Wei Yuan, who was so calm and expressionless, was actually "out of control".

In no time.

Wei Yuan was about to step into the arched gate of Mu Cang Zhai, but he retracted one foot. He suddenly felt a sore nose and took a deep breath.

Zhang Guifen lowered her head and sighed.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the yard. It was Lin Zhaoyuan’s wife Xiaodie.

When she saw Wei Yuan, she immediately asked, "My Lord? You're here?"

Wei Yuan made a gesture to her to keep quiet.

Xiaodie nodded.

Wei Yuan stepped into the courtyard.

He took a deep breath, pretended to be a child, and said loudly into the house:
"Dad, Mom, Big Sister, Second Sister, I'm back!"

Just like what Wei Yuan said when he returned home in the evening when he was young and playful.

After saying that, Wei Yuan strode into the house.

Sheng Hong and others were about to follow in, but were stopped by Zhang Guifen.

"Let the two siblings reminisce about the past."

Sheng Hong naturally did not dare to disobey Lady Guo's words.

Wei Yuan came into the room and saw Wei Shuyi, who was lying on the bed, looking pale and thin. Tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

This champion who had killed countless enemies and made other countries tremble in fear, burst into tears in front of his elder sister.

Wei Shuyi had noticed the commotion outside a long time ago. She wanted to clean up, but she had no strength. She could only lean on the bed and look at Wei Yuan with a smile.

"You are an adult, but you are still crying. What kind of injustice have you suffered during the time you were away from home?"

How could Wei Yuan suffer any injustice now?

He shook his head and knelt in front of Wei Shuyi's bed, "Sister"

He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he choked. He couldn't hold it in any longer, and buried his head in Wei Shuyi's quilt, crying bitterly.

Her crying was so heartbreaking.

In the yard, Zhang Guifen covered her mouth with her hands, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Xiaodie had already burst into tears.

In the room, Wei Shuyi stroked Wei Yuan's head with her hand, just like when she comforted Wei Yuan when he was wronged when they were children.
"Ming girl just left, and she has been crying these past few days. You are already in your thirties, why are you still acting like Ming girl?"

The only difference is that at that time, Wei Shuyi's words were very powerful, but now, there was a sense of extreme weakness in his voice.

Wei Yuan didn't say a word. His unstoppable tears made him unable to say anything.

He knew that crying at this time was obviously not a good sign.

But, he just couldn't help it.

"Little Wei Yuan, you must grow up quickly, study hard, and pass the imperial examinations, so that our Wei family will never be looked down upon by others again."

Wei Shuyi said something that she had often said to Wei Yuan when he was young.

She couldn't stop crying.

She really wanted to live a few more years so she could spend more time with her family and Wei Yuan.

But she knew that her life had come to an end.

"Little Wei Yuan, you have to grow up quickly."

Wei Shuyi's lips were trembling, and he kept touching Wei Yuan's head, as if he was comforting her, or as if he was comforting himself.
