Film and TV: Starting from the Night Watchman of Dafeng

Chapter 12 Uncle, there's something else behind what you said

Dormitory Courtyard
Under the gaze of the teachers in the academy, Wei An nodded and said, "Mr. Wei is my cousin."

"this…"

"Nothing happened. Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"Why did you say that the injuries on your body were caused by your careless words?"

"... "

After a moment of silence, questions came one after another.

Wei An bowed to the teachers and said, "I did speak without restraint and have displeased my uncle."

After saying that, he looked at Nangong Qianrou.

The latter nodded in agreement, "I told you before the mountain gate, uncle is teaching his nephew a lesson."

Wei An continued, "Dean Lao, teachers, and all the gentlemen are concerned. It was negligent for not explaining it in time."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

"If no one asks about this kind of thing, it's not good to talk about it. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. It's nothing."

"Nothing's wrong, don't think too much about it, we're just asking casually."

"Yes, yes, it's nothing important, please don't disturb your thoughts."

"... "

What else can a teacher do when dealing with such an excellent student who proactively admits his mistakes?

Of course, forgive and tolerate him.

Look at how kind and friendly they are, trying to make amends for Wei An.

Comparing this with the cold and abusive words spoken to her in front of the mountain gate, Nangong Qianrou felt her gums ache.

"Whatever Wei Yuan wants you to say, tell him quickly. Don't upset Wuyang. This is a critical moment for him." Chen Tai turned around and said unhappily.

Nangong Qianrou has become accustomed to the double standards of these old scholars.

He coughed twice, cleared his throat, looked at Wei An, and said, "An'er, tomorrow the academy is on holiday. Come to your uncle's place for a family dinner and pay homage to your ancestors."

Even Zhao Shou, who had cultivated his Qi for decades, frowned at these words.

Family dinners and the like can be rejected on the spot.

Ancestor worship...

This involves filial piety!

Wei An looked at Chen Tai.

The latter looked unhappy and nodded helplessly.

So, he replied, "Please ask Nan Gong Jinluo to make the trip. I will definitely be there on time for the banquet tomorrow."

Nangong Qianrou nodded. Before she could speak, Chen Tai said, "Wu Yang and I will attend the banquet together."

He couldn't help but frown, "Chen Ru, this is a family dinner."

"I'm Teacher Wuyang."

"To come uninvited is neither a proper guest nor respectable."

"you…"

Wei An tried to smooth things over, "Teacher, don't worry."

He nodded at Nangong Qianrou again.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow." The latter responded and clasped his fists towards Zhao Shou. "Dean, I'll be leaving first."

"Yeah." Zhao Shou had no expression on his face.

After Nangong Qianrou walked away, Chen Tai swung his sleeves in annoyance, "Wei Yuan really knows how to pick the right time. He knows it!"

"Youping, if you care too much, you will be confused." Zhao Shou's attitude seemed different from his previous resistance.

Chen Tai was stunned.

Zhang Shen and Li Mubai also noticed it and fell into deep thought.

"No problem, studying requires a balance between relaxation and intensity. Just relax tomorrow." Zhao Shou said in a gentle voice.

Wei An felt deeply moved, thinking that he was worthy of being the dean of Yunlu Academy.

"Yes, Dean."

...

Sunset in the West
When I returned to the Xu Mansion, the family was busy preparing dinner.

The younger sister Xu Lingyin was hiding on a stone step in the corridor of the flower hall, not knowing what to eat. She covered herself tightly and Xu Xinnian could not see clearly.

"Brother, why are you back again?"

Faced with his younger sister's questioning, Xu Xinnian felt choked and didn't know what to say.

"The academy is on a ten-day holiday."

He uttered four words in a depressed tone.

"Oh."

Xu Lingyin suddenly thought of something and a look of joy appeared on her face. "Big brother said he would take me and my sister out to play the day after tomorrow."

"Cijiu, Ci... Lingyin, is your second brother back?"

Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
It’s just that Xu Qian’an was too anxious and couldn’t see clearly.

Xu Lingyin raised her head woodenly and glanced in Xu Xinnian's direction, "Second brother..."

"Brother, I'm here."

Xu Xinnian's voice drifted over.

"Oh, yes, I have something to ask you." Xu Qian'an pulled his cousin's arm.

"Brother, there's no one else here, so let's talk here." After entering the flower hall, Xu Xinnian pushed his hand away.

Xu Qian'an glanced at his second brother's slender hands, quietly took a half step back, coughed, and said seriously, "Cijiu, you said the other day that Yunlu Academy was going to produce a sub-sage. Can you tell me in detail?"

Xu Xinnian looked at him in surprise, and repeated expressionlessly, "Ordinary people don't need to know about such a big thing." "I..." Xu Qian'an lowered his head helplessly after being hit by the boomerang he threw. "It doesn't hurt to listen."

Xu Xinnian raised his chin slightly, "If you don't understand what I'm saying, wouldn't it be a waste of my words?"

"You're not looking down on me. I was the one who gave you that poem. It's about 'Heaven's principles are human desires, and the heart is the principles.'"

Xu Xinnian's chin returned to its normal position as he speculated, "Did Big Brother run into those people from the Imperial College today? They resorted to violence when they couldn't win over him. How petty!"

"They've reached the gate of your academy?" Xu Qian'an asked in surprise.

"If they had the guts, they'd dare to do it." Xu Xinnian snorted disdainfully and waved his hand. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. It's very unlucky. That day when we said goodbye to Ziyang Jushi at the Sheep Pavilion..."

My cousin spoke slowly, and when he came to the key point, his expression became excited, with his hands raised high, looking a bit like a fanatic.

Xu Qian'an frowned and thought.

It sounds like pure psychology, but the arguments are tailored to the circumstances and incorporate theories from this world.

He couldn't tell for a moment.

After all, this world also has sage sayings like "When three people walk together, one of them can be my teacher" and "Everyone is without fault", but it does not have the Four Books and Five Classics of the original world.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence that this student named Wei An was able to comprehend the philosophy of mind.

"I'm going to say goodbye to you. Could you introduce me to someone or two?"

After thinking it over for a while, Xu Qian'an thought it would be better to meet him.

"Brother, how come you learn from those rough guys to pretend to be cultured? Now, not to mention me, even the teachers in the academy find it difficult to see Wei An, let alone you, brother." Xu Xinnian complained very naturally.

vicious!

Why is he a rough guy?

Xu Qian'an thought about his own face and then looked at his cousin's face.

Forget it, let’s put it aside and not worry about it for now.

"If there's a chance, please introduce me to someone new."

"Okay."

"Ning Yan, Ning Yan~"

After the two of them finished their conversation, Xu Pingzhi's voice was heard outside.

The two brothers came out of the hall to greet them.

"What's wrong? Second uncle."

Xu Pingzhi's face was almost covered with the word gossip, so Xu Qian'an asked according to the procedure.

"Cijiu is back too." Xu Pingzhi looked at Xu Xinnian with the eyes of an old father, then quickly switched to gossiping mode and said mysteriously, "Have you heard? Lord Wei has a nephew who studies at Yunlu Academy."

"Duke Wei?"

"Duke Wei?"

The first sound is Xu Xinnian.

The last voice was Xu Qian'an.

"Who is Duke Wei?" Xu Qian'an asked.

Xu Pingzhi and Xu Xinnian looked at him at the same time and kicked him out of the melon-eating group.

"Didn't they say that Duke Wei's entire family was massacred by the Wushen Cult?" Xu Xinnian asked doubtfully.

"It's said that when the incident happened, Duke Wei's cousin was out running errands, and thus escaped the disaster. Old Zhu also didn't explain it clearly, only saying that his name was Wei An. Oh, God bless Duke Wei, he finally has a descendant. If a military god like Duke Wei hadn't..."

The further it went on, the more Xu Pingzhi talked to himself.

"and many more!"

Xu Qian'an and Xu Xinnian spoke at the same time.

Xu Pingzhi was startled.

"What did father say the student's name was?"

"Second Uncle, that man's name is Wei An?"

Facing the anxious faces of his son and nephew, Xu Pingzhi blinked twice.

……

next day
A large round mirror made of red and gold can dispel all the clouds and mist and illuminate the universe.

In this era, people usually have lunch at a banquet.

Wei An arrived at...Haoqi Tower with the last ray of morning light.

"Didn't you say it was a family dinner?" Wei An stood in front of the gate of Haoqi Tower, with a hint of helplessness on his lips.

"My adoptive father is dedicated to the public, and this place is my home." Nangong Qianrou said proudly.

Okay, okay, don’t mess with workaholics.

Wei An was no longer worried.

Under the watchful eyes of the two guards at the gate, he went straight into the building and went up to the seventh floor.

This time we don't have to talk behind a screen.

"coming."

Wei Yuan was making tea.

His movements are slow but not tiring, full of charm.

"sit."

His tone was gentle, just like a conversation with a relative or younger generation.

Wei An was not polite either. He bowed and sat down with confidence.

Nangong Qianrou, who was standing aside, twitched her eyes.

Seeing this, Wei Yuan smiled and said, "I heard that you are targeting the Imperial College with your sword, and now you are the most famous person in the capital."

Uncle, there is something else behind what you said.
