Chapter 111 111 I was born with a vision from heaven?

"Master, Master, the young master is back."

Wei Wencai was sitting on a chair at the top of the lobby of Baihusuo, drinking tea. He just frowned slightly and didn't know what was bothering him, when he heard a series of rapid footsteps and the shouts of his soldiers outside.

Immediately, Wei Wencai stood up, looked at the soldiers rushing into the lobby and asked, "Where are they?"

"We're almost at the castle gate."

The soldier replied immediately.

"okay, I get it."

As he spoke, Wei Wencai ran into the backyard with a bright smile on his face and asked his servants to send a message to his mother. Then he turned around and walked toward the gate.

About ten days ago, the Zhang family in Jiujiang Prefecture sent news that Wei Guangde was a scholar. On the afternoon of the next day, a team sent by the county to deliver the good news also went to the Bengshan Hundred Households Office, which made Wei's mother and Wei Wencai extremely happy. .

In order to celebrate, the Wei family not only slaughtered a large number of pigs and sheep to entertain the team that came to deliver the good news, but also had a good meal for the military households who had not seen meat for a long time.

These days, rumors have spread throughout Madang Town that a literary star has come to earth from Bengshan Fort next door, and good people are rewarded.

However, what Wei Wencai was struggling with while sitting in the lobby before was that even if it was rumored that his brother was a Wenqu star who descended to earth, similar rumors would appear every three years, that is, after the results of the Provincial Examination, the General Examination, and the Palace Examination were announced, the candidates and the Jinshi Master would be Oh my God, the local people don't understand, but they all spread rumors that so-and-so is Wen Quxing who has descended to earth.

But when he came to his brother's place, he was already a scholar, that is, he was a little younger.

Okay, let's just say it. Wenquxing is actually nothing. Logically speaking, this is a good word and should be rewarded, but when it was passed on later, it felt different. It said that Wei Guangde had a vision from the sky when he was born.

Fortunately, it was not mentioned that Wei Guangde was born in the middle of the night. As soon as the house was filled with red light, the military households next door thought that the hundred households were on fire and hurried to put out the fire.

It's taboo, it's Taizu's patent, and the people who spread the rumor seem to know how powerful it is, and don't dare to make it up.

But when Wei Guangde was born, there were dark clouds in the sky. As soon as Wei Guangde was born, the dark clouds over Bengshan Castle dispersed, and a beam of sunlight shone directly in the backyard of Baihu House, like a miracle.

At the beginning, Wei Wencai planned to investigate the source of the rumor, but after two days of searching, he found that he could not find it. After thinking about it, he did not dare to investigate or suppress the rumor.

People don't know how powerful it is. Sometimes the more you suppress something, the faster rumors spread.

In fact, giving birth is not that easy. Wei Wencai has never seen a child born in a military family in the fort. When his little brother was born, he already remembered it, and there was no sign of a vision coming from the sky.

Wei Wencai only guessed that a few big families in the town might have released the news in order to fear that his brother would really take the imperial examination and become an official.

There was a conflict between the two sides, but since the army and the people were separated, they couldn't do anything, so they thought of suppressing Wei Guangde by spreading rumors about a vision coming from heaven. If anyone above him knew about this, Wei Guangde's future imperial examination career might be ruined.

In the feudal dynasty, some things were taboo.

After Wei Wencai figured this out, not only did he not suppress the spread of rumors, but he compiled several different versions and released them. The so-called Wenquxing from the sky was actually a version of the meteor he had seen streaking across the sky.

As soon as Wei Guangde was born, all the plants near Bengshan Castle bloomed. I don’t know where he heard about the flower blooming in an instant, but he adapted it.

All these things come from mysterious sources and muddy the water.

Didn’t you say that a vision came from heaven when my brother was born?

I will create several kinds of visions for you and see how the outside world spreads them. Who will believe your little tricks then?

But after all, this was just Wei Wencai's wishful thinking. Wei Wencai was not sure what he would think if it really reached the ears of interested people, which was why he was troubled.

But there’s no need to think about it now, my brother is back, let’s celebrate him becoming a scholar first.

When Wei Wencai walked to the gate, he heard the sound of horse coats ringing bells. A horse galloped from the direction of the castle gate. Immediately sitting on it was a Confucian general, Wei Guangde.

"Brother, I'm back."

As Wei Guangde approached the door of his house, he saw his eldest brother coming out of the door and immediately shouted loudly.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

Wei Wencai picked up Wei Guangde and took him directly to the backyard to meet his mother.

In the evening, after eating a sumptuous banquet prepared by Wei's mother, Wei Guangde followed Wei Wencai to his house after his mother went back to rest.

"What's the matter? First, give me a wink."

Wei Wencai entered the room and asked his brothers to sit down.

"I'm in the county, and I heard from my aunt that there are a lot of legends about me that have been spread recently, or some kind of vision coming from the sky."

Wei Guangde said straight to the point. As he spoke, he took out another letter from his arms and handed it to Wei Wencai, "This is the latest Tang newspaper I copied. It contains news about my father and the others."

Wei Wencai reached out to take the letter, and while taking it out, he told Wei Guangde what happened before.

Knowing that so many versions of heavenly visions were created by his elder brother, Wei Guangde thought about it in his mind and felt that he had handled it well.

I've had so many visions since I was born, it's up to the people who hear them to believe which one.

But if I go out in the future, I will inevitably be teased by the students in the county.

Forget it, the common people are ignorant, what else can they do? This method of stirring up trouble is actually the best way to deal with it.

"Alas they won't be able to come back until the end of the year."

At this time, Wei Wencai also read the news brought back by Wei Guangde. This was a message sent to Wei Li by Jiujiang Guards who went on an expedition.

Originally, the war in Zhejiang was over, and logically speaking, these guest troops should return the way they came.

However, this time the Japanese pirates aggressively attacked cities and territories along the eastern Zhejiang coast. The coastal guard station suffered heavy losses, and it was impossible to restore effective combat power in the short term.

According to the order of the Nanjing Ministry of War, except for the soldiers and horses in Haizhou Prefecture in South Zhili who returned to the garrison to rebuild, all the inland garrison stations were stationed and could not return to their garrison until the coastal garrison was rebuilt.

"Those three military households who have died in the battle, do you want to tell them the news?"

Wei Guangde asked his eldest brother.

"Let's hold it down for now and wait until they come back. Now we don't have any money to burn or bury it, so tell them what to do."

Wei Wencai shook his head and said, the news this time brought back the list of those who were killed and disabled during the expedition. Of the more than 100 people who left Bengshan Fort, three died and more than ten were disabled. When we come down, we will need to recruit new members of their family.

"As long as the Japanese pirates don't cause trouble there in the past few months, it will be fine if dad and the others come back."

Although Wei Wencai followed Zhang Fugui to Zhejiang last time, he did not stay long and did not pay attention to the disability situation of Baihu Station. This must be confirmed in the form of official documents.

"You should also seize the time to read and prepare for the provincial examination in October."

After saying this, Wei Wencai raised his head and glanced at Wei Guangde, "Are you taking the provincial examination for this subject?"
