Chapter 96 What if you’re not here one day?

The daughter of the Wei family married Li Changsheng, who was deprived of his status as a scholar, which naturally caused a sensation. The two were originally a couple of gods and goddesses who were famous all over the country. They originally thought that Li Changsheng's misfortune would ruin the marriage. Everyone was waiting for Wei

Let's add insult to injury to the Li family.

However, the result was not the same. Wei Xi entered the Li family with a red cloth. There was no dowry, no banquet, and no relatives or friends were present. He even went to the Li family by himself.

Although this kind of behavior makes many people secretly beat their chests, on the surface everyone is standing up and talking. At least for the sake of their own face, the talented people can only praise this kind of behavior vigorously.

Naturally, there was secret disdain and jealousy towards Li Changsheng.

On the other hand, common people with little education don't have that shame, so secret ridicule is inevitable.

Li Changsheng's house is a small walled courtyard with a total of three rooms, a kitchen, a hall, and a master bedroom. There is a jujube tree and a well in the courtyard.

This is the wedding house prepared by Li Changsheng. The house is neither too big nor too small. It is considered to be above average in the local area.

Li Changsheng's family has generations of poor farmers, but after all, he has been a scholar for so many years and is still a well-known prodigy. Of course, there is no shortage of money. He built this small courtyard long ago, and this is not the first time Wei Xi has come.

In addition to not being able to stay overnight due to etiquette, Wei Xi often came to this small courtyard, so he knew it very well, so he didn't feel unfamiliar when he suddenly changed places to live.

"Husband, husband, this is my craft."

Wei Xi put a plate of slightly burnt vegetables on the table and looked at Li Changsheng expectantly. Li Changsheng naturally ate it bravely, and then said with a smile: "It's delicious, it's really delicious. No.

I thought Xi'er could cook other dishes besides red bean porridge."

"Really?"

Wei Xi was filled with joy, picked it up and put it in her mouth. A burning smell rushed to her brain, almost making her spit it out.

"Ugh! It tastes so bad, husband, you lied to me!"

In anger, Wei Xi rushed over. After getting married, there was no restraint of etiquette. She could hold Li Changsheng as she did when she was a child.

A woman's fragrance came to his face. Li Changsheng was already on guard. He grabbed Wei Xi's hand and held it in his arms. As a lady of the family, Wei Xi had never done any farm work since she was a child. She was light and soft.

What strength is there?

Li Changsheng was like holding a cloud, soft and light.

"How dare you sneak up on your husband? Let's see how I deal with you."

Li Changsheng picked up Wei Xi and walked into the bedroom. When he threw her on the bed, his face that was still a little angry suddenly turned pitiful, like a sheep.

"Husband, this is not etiquette or etiquette. What if we are discovered so early in the morning? How about we go to night first?"

"There are no people near our house, it's very quiet."

It was approaching noon, and the sun was beating down on their butts. The two of them hadn't gotten up yet, so they lay quietly on the bed and looked at the ceiling, feeling both physically and mentally ethereal.

Li Changsheng entered the sage state, while Wei Xi blushed and kept mumbling about inappropriate etiquette.

Wei Xi suddenly asked: "My husband escaped death this time."

Such a weird and sudden question made people confused, but Wei Xi could feel that Li Changsheng was more like a survivor than a decline. Recalling his previous resistance to the imperial examination and his repeated failures in the examination, it was obviously intentional.

.

Li Changsheng looked stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "You can say that."

"Why?"

"As beautiful as a tree is in the forest, the wind will destroy it." Li Changsheng replied, "I thought that as long as I showed enough talent, I would be able to keep climbing. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I was too naive, and I was almost doomed."

He performed too well and was too sharp. He was jealous of others and almost attacked him in groups. At the same time, he also understood that no matter how talented he was, he could not match his family status. Those high-ranking masters would not think highly of him because of this.

At first glance, I thought about how to tame myself and tame myself into a dog.

When he passed the scholar examination a few years ago, the county magistrate met him and wanted Li Changsheng to marry him. At that time, Li Changsheng was in high spirits and was engaged to be engaged, so he naturally refused.

The Wei family didn't despise him for being poor, and they certainly wouldn't despise him when he soared into the sky.

The county guard expressed his regrets with a meaningful smile on his face. It was not until later that Li Changsheng understood this smile.

In the first provincial examination, for some unknown reason, his article was stained with ink and was deemed unqualified.

In the second provincial examination, I failed for the same reason.

The county governor once again invited him to join the government, intending to marry his daughter to him, but Li Changsheng once again refused.

To outsiders, he may appear to be a close friend, but in fact, only he understands the dirtiness involved.

After this, Li Changsheng naturally knew who was responsible, but he, a commoner, was helpless in the face of the county guard. He had to give in or return home. In the end, he chose to return home, and thus escaped the disaster.

This reminded him of the book "Zhuangzi Mountain Trees" he had read in his previous life. There was a sentence in it: When you are between trees and geese, there should be dragons and snakes.

It means that a gentleman should be between the talented and the untalented. He should advance when he should advance and retreat when he should retreat. When the opportunity comes, he can fly like a dragon, swallowing clouds and mist; when the environment does not allow it, he can act like a snake.

, lurking in the grass, lowering your posture and embracing the ordinary.

Being too sharp is not a good thing.

Li Changsheng slowly told everything he had experienced, and Wei Xi listened attentively. The little girl had obviously never experienced the darkness of officialdom, and she shrank back into the quilt after hearing it.

"Husband, what should I do if something like this happens to me in the future?"

Wei Xi hugged Li Changsheng tightly, looking a little uneasy.

"It's okay, you can rely on me."

"What if you are not here one day?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I will always be here."

"Oh, there are always unexpected situations." Wei Xi smacked Li Changsheng, "I wasn't around when you went to take the provincial examination. Until just now, you kept me in the dark."

She has always been a very smart woman and obviously would not be fooled like this.

The more he talked, the angrier he became, and Wei Xi took a bite at Li Changsheng's shoulder.

"You can't hide it from me in the future."

Li Changsheng felt a little pain, looked at Wei Xi whose cheeks were bulging with anger, and said, "I'll tell you everything from now on."

"Remember one sentence, when you are between trees and geese, there will be changes between dragons and snakes. The more dangerous you are, the less impulsive you are. You have to be patient, patient and patient again."

"How long can I endure it?"

"Until you can topple everything."

——

In the middle of the night, Wei Xi suddenly opened his eyes and his breathing was a little confusing.

"Dream?" Wei Xi covered her chest, tightened her hands slightly and held on to the collar, and did not let go until a slight cracking sound was heard.

It had been a long, long time since she had had a dream, and it was a pity that it was just a dream.

I got off the bed, walked into the bathroom, stood in front of the sink and slapped water on my face again and again. I raised my head and looked at myself in the mirror. The throbbing in my eyes never went away.

It's like a nightmare that has been with me for thousands of years.

A wave of depression welled up in her heart, almost suffocating her. Fortunately, she had rich experience in dealing with this symptom, and she only needed to enter the military situation and suppress all her emotions.

A red light glowed in her eyes, quickly infecting her entire pupils, and the throbbing that was beyond her control was suppressed.

Wei Xi sat on the chair, and then made no extra movements, just sat there quietly. The scene outside the window gradually brightened over time, until the sun was slightly exposed, and there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The door opened with a click, Tang Ke walked in, stood at attention and saluted.

"Sir, all the people you wanted to investigate yesterday have been secretly arrested and are currently waiting for your interrogation."

During the conflict with Rome, the Qin army was short of supplies for a period of time. The reason cannot be said publicly. It belongs to the tradition since ancient times.

The pile of information in Wei Xi's hand yesterday contained all the people involved. It was really like pulling out peanuts. Once you pulled it out, there were hundreds of people, or at least a hundred generals (company).

Wei Xi said in a majestic and cold voice: "How?"

"After a preliminary soul search, basically all of them participated in it. According to the law, they should be killed."

Then Tang Ke changed his voice and said with some worry: "But these people are intertwined and involved in a wide range of things. Sending them to the Sergeant's Court at once may cause turmoil and all parties will interfere with it."

This kind of thing has always happened, but this time some people were too difficult to accept, which led to a tight battle on the front line and even a defeat. If the flying generals had not twisted the will of hundreds of thousands of frontline soldiers into a rope to keep the Qin army's morale high,

I'm afraid it's not certain who will win.

And now that the war is over, it's time for reckoning.

But Fei Jiang arrested everyone at once, and his steps were a bit too big, so she was worried that something would go wrong.

Wei Xi also noticed his assistant's worry and said, "Xiao Ke, have you read Qi Di's modern novel "The God Who Asks for Rain"?"

Tang Ke nodded slightly and replied: "I read it a little bit. It tells about a drought place where there is a witch who specializes in praying for rain. They can pray for rain like gods, who are supreme and omnipotent. The people are also obedient to him.

, worship him as a god.”

"Until one day, he couldn't ask for rain anymore, so he fell off the altar and was burned alive."

Wei Xi pointed at himself and said: "I am the god who prays for rain now, and I happened to pray for rain, so I want them to die."

His tone was indifferent with a hint of irresistible majesty.
