Chapter 400 Wei Que coaxes the little carrot head
When Shen Zheng and others returned to the county school, Wei Que did not go to the backyard, but watched the little kids studying outside the school. He only brought one subordinate, Li Hongmao, who was telling them something.
Wei Que was tall and strong, with dark skin and a loud and deep voice.
Before Shen Zheng approached, she heard him say, "The Ministry of Rites is currently planning the initiation class. Because His Majesty always compares you with them, this matter has not been finalized yet."
Not only Shen Zheng and others behind them heard these words, but also Mr. Zheng Xiaoxiang and the little rascals who were giving lectures in the school heard them.
Zheng Xiaoxiang turned a deaf ear to Wei Que's words and continued to passionately explain to the little kids what "etiquette" was.
But the little rascals couldn't sit still.
They didn't know what the Ministry of Rites was, but some of them knew what "Shangjing" was.
My parents said that the most noble people in the world are in Shangjing, the ground in Shangjing is paved with gold, and the hoes used by people in Shangjing to dig the ground are different from those here.
The most important thing is that their favorite Lord Shen came from Shangjing. In a word, Shangjing must be a place where immortals are born in abundance. If possible, they will definitely go to see it when they grow up!
The little radish heads' minds couldn't help but fly far away, and the little radish head sitting by the window was the boldest.
He picked up Master Zheng's handwritten lecture, covered his face with it, then raised his head and asked Wei Que:
"Uncle, are you a deity from Shangjing? How did you get here? Did you fly here?"
His original intention was to do it "secretly", but the little boy was just at the age where he could control his urine, so how could he control his voice?
The whole school fell silent. The little boy was still trying to cover his face with the hand-made paper, not knowing that he had already been discovered by the stern-faced teacher.
Zheng Xiaoxiang's brows darkened, but he still bowed to Wei Que outside the window before tapping the book in his hand twice on the table.
"Zhu Zhu, listen to the lesson."
Wei Que outside the window laughed and returned the greeting to Zheng Xiaoxiang, "Master, I don't mean to interrupt you, but... can I ask this little boy a question?"
Zheng Xiaoxiang thought he was going to ask the students about their feelings about studying in the county school, so he took two steps forward and said, "Please come in, sir."
"I won't come in. I just want to ask a question." Wei Que answered proudly.
Little Radish was in a state of panic that his little talk would be discovered by the Master, so he listened to the "immortal" who came from the capital and asked him, "Your name is Pig?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"
The classroom was instantly filled with laughter, and Zhu Zhu's face turned red from the laughter.
His mouth pursed, as if he was about to cry: "My name is not Zhuzhu, my name is Zhuzhu. My mother wants me to be like Zhutou, and to be a man who can stand tall and proud in the future!"
After teasing him, Wei Que laughed again, took out a small toy from his arms and handed it to him through the window.
"My dear child, uncle is teasing you. I am not a god, nor did I fly here. But I came here by boat."
Seeing that Zhu Zhu didn't take it, he opened his hands and described it to him: "The boat uncle is on is this big, many times bigger than this room in the school. There are many new things on the way. Here, this is the bone of a river fish. Carrying it with you can keep you safe."
Zhu Zhu looked at the fish bone in his hand and asked with eager eyes: "Uncle, can this... really keep me safe? But, but if you give it to me, what will you do?"
Wei Que was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
The care from children is the purest, without any impurities.
He raised his hand back and his follower took out a cloth bag and handed it to him.
"Uncle gets a lot of this every time he goes on a boat trip. It contains the blessing of the river god. All the children in our Tongan County School get a share."
After hearing this, the children no longer remembered what day it was. They just stood up from the stools without even looking at Zheng Xiaoxiang.
Zheng Xiaoxiang shook his head helplessly.
You choose it yourself, and you have to teach it slowly.
The window was suddenly crowded with people, and the whole school was filled with the excited chatter of children.
"Uncle, uncle! Do we have them all!"
"Uncle! You are so awesome! Did you come here by rowing a boat? You are so strong!"
Their impression of boats is still the two open-air wooden boats on the river dam of Xiahe Village. Each boat can only hold two or three people, and they drift with the current, swaying. If the waves are big, the boat will capsize.
But only some of them had seen the boat, but none of them had ridden on it.
Wei Que was amused by their childish talk and patiently began to tell them the story.
"The boat uncle is on doesn't need to be rowed. Anyway, it's a very big and powerful boat. You may see it in the future. You'd better hold your chin when you see it."
The children had no idea how much changes Wei Que's seemingly coaxing words would bring to Tongan County.
All they knew in their little heads was that they would soon be blessed by the river god.
This is really--great!
Wei Que walked around the wooden window, towards the front door of the school, and handed the cloth bag to Zheng Xiaoxiang.
"Master Lao, please distribute it to the children after school."
Zheng Xiaoxiang took the bag of heavy blessings and a smile appeared on his face.
"I would like to thank you on behalf of the children."
Wei Que smiled cheerfully: "You're welcome. It's customary for us sailors to give a little gift to the younger generation when we first meet them. And the children are all very cute, and the teacher deserves credit for this."
He saw a few figures out of the corner of his eye and nodded, "I will not disturb the teacher's lecture."
......
Wei Que was still a little surprised when he saw Yu Shizhang.
He originally thought that Earl Yongning would not return to the capital because he wanted to stay in Liuyang Prefecture to advise his son. However, he did not expect that Earl Yongning, who was supposed to be in Liuyang Prefecture, would appear in Tongan County.
It is not difficult to tell from the expression of Earl Yongning that he truly regards the Tongan County Magistrate as a junior. The kindness and protection in his eyes cannot be fake.
Wei Que looked at Shen Zheng puzzledly.
He was wondering, what was so good about this Tongan County Magistrate? Not only did the emperor praise her highly, but even the Earl of Yongning, who had been neutral for a long time, was persuaded by her to take sides.
He turned slightly and looked at Shen Zheng curiously.
Body shape... well, well-proportioned and thin.
Height...well, above average for women.
Dressed... huh?! Isn't that a little too shabby? She's a county magistrate after all, and she's wearing fine linen?
As for the looks...
Wei Que looked up, and the first thing he saw was a pair of bright and clear eyes. There was no fear of him in those eyes.
Their eyes met in mid-air, and he seemed to understand why.
Before he could think of what to say, he heard Shen Zheng speak: "I am Shen Zheng, your humble servant, and I greet Lord Wei."
Because she had a clear and upright gaze, because she was neither humble nor arrogant, and because she was not afraid of him, a rough man with murderous intent.
