"Miss! The old lady is back with Miss Six, Brother Seven and our future uncle!"
In the Sheng family mansion, Wei Shuyi was doing embroidery in the room. Suddenly, Xiaodie ran in hurriedly and said to Wei with excitement.
The movements in Wei Shuyi's hand were stagnant, and the embroidery needle twisting between his fingers quietly fell to the ground at some point. His expression became sluggish, and his mind went blank for a moment.
"Little girl! Little girl!" Xiaodie didn't care about so many rules anymore and quickly called Wei Shuyi.
"What did you say?" Wei Shuyi's consciousness gradually returned, but she still couldn't believe it. She didn't know whether Xiaodie said it wrong or she heard it wrong.
"Miss! Our old lady is back with our sixth daughter, our seventh brother, and our future uncle! And our second brother! They have already arrived in the front hall!"
Wei Shu said doubtfully, "Really?"
"Really, really!" Xiaodie hurriedly urged: "Nanny Qin is answering the question in the front hall now. Please pack up quickly and go to the front hall to meet the old lady!"
Wei Shuyi hurriedly asked Xiaodie to help him wash up, and after a while, he hurried to the front hall.
In the main hall, Old Mrs. Sheng, who was dressed in brocade and simple colors, was sitting at the top. Minglan and Changbai were sitting on the left and right of Old Mrs. Sheng. Then there was Wang Zhong, who had saved him. He was holding a one or two-year-old boy in his arms. The baby is sitting on the edge of a long cypress.
With just one glance, Wei Shuyi recognized that it was his son Changdong that Wang Zhong was holding. He resisted the urge to step forward to hug his son and express his love for his son. Wei Shuyi hurriedly stepped forward to prepare for Mrs. Sheng. After receiving the gift, before she could get closer, Minglan rushed forward impatiently, hugged Wei Shuyi's thigh, and called her "Mother."
Wei Shuyi pulled Minglan and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Sheng.
Mrs. Sheng smiled and asked, "How is your health?"
Wei Shu said sympathetically, "The doctor said he's almost healed. It's just that the internal organs were injured during the operation. Occasionally there will be some dull pain in the abdomen, but the doctor said it's no longer a serious problem!"
"It just so happens that Zihou is here too. It was Zihou who snatched you back from the Palace of the King of Hell. Let Zihou show it to you!"
Wei Shuyi bowed, walked to Wang Zhong and sat down next to him. Wang Zhong smiled and sent Changdong into Wei Shuyi's arms, but little Changdong had never even tasted his biological mother's milk and was not close to him at all.
Seeing his son's appearance like this, Wei Shuyi's bright and beautiful eyes immediately burst into tears.
"This child is a little afraid of strangers. When you two get along for a long time, you will naturally get close to each other!" Changdong refused to let Wei Shuyi hold him, so naturally he could only let the familiar Aunt Fang do it, while Minglan held Wei Shuyi beside him. of the other hand.
"Aniang!"
After going through so much, Wei Shuyi also looked away. It was just that he hadn't seen Minglan and Changdong for a long time. He was emotionally excited and couldn't control it. Now he has recovered. He grabbed Minglan's little hand and smiled. He said softly: "Behave tomorrow, my little girl is fine!"
Wei Shuyi also called herself Xiaoniang.
Minglan nodded, but couldn't help but feel worried in her heart. She subconsciously looked at Wang Zhong, who was taking Wei Shuyi's pulse.
"It is indeed almost healed, and most of the energy has been restored!" Wang Zhong said: "It's just that the uterus is damaged. It will be difficult to have children in the future."
"So my wife is fine?" Minglan said with a surprised look on her face.
Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "After all, they will be worse than normal people. Last time, I almost survived and my vitality was greatly damaged. Although I have recovered some, some of it is still consumed after all. Now that Miss Wei is young, she can't see it clearly. But if you wait until you get older in the future, it will be hard to say."
"What can Brother Zihou do?" Minglan suddenly asked with a drooped face.
"It's three parts of the medicine that are poisonous, and the function of the decoction is only to assist. If you really want to completely return to normal, it depends on Wei Xiaoniang's own chance!" Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "We can only nurse back to health slowly! But... "
"But what?" Minglan asked quickly.
Wang Zhong said: "Qi and blood are the foundation of the human body. The body's qi and blood can be slowly polished through the day after tomorrow. If the qi and blood are majestic and the body is strong, a little bit of overflowing vitality can be supplemented."
Slowly recuperating with food supplements may be able to replenish the lost vitality! "
Chang Bai looked at Wang Zhong and had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure: "What does Zi Hou mean?"
Wang Zhongdao: "The so-called "deficiency cannot be replenished" refers to Wei Xiaoniang's current situation. Wei Xiaoniang is currently weak and weak. No matter how much supplements are used, it will not help because her body has no way to absorb these. A great tonic."
"So what we need to do now is to strengthen our body and promote the circulation of qi and blood?"
"good!"
"It's easy to say, but walk more and sit less in the room. If possible, jog every day and practice health-preserving techniques. For the time being, it's better to eat a lighter diet. If you can persist for a few years, you may be able to achieve success. Results."
"Can the little girl come with us to Youyang?" Minglan asked with concern.
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Now that Miss Wei's condition has basically improved, her movements are no longer affected, so of course she can!"
······
Wang Zhong's words were mostly positive. The hidden wounds left on Wei Shuyi's body were not easily eradicated, but it was possible, and they had to be carefully nursed back to health.
After some greetings, meals were prepared in the kitchen. Mrs. Sheng and Chang Dong accompanied Wang Zhong and Chang Bai to eat outside, while Minglan went to the back room to eat and reminisce with her mother Wei Shuyi.
Because the king wanted to return to the Wang family to pay homage to his ancestors, Mrs. Sheng also wanted to take stock of the property that she was asked to help manage, so she was delayed in Yangzhou for three days.
Old Mrs. Sheng took over the property in Yangzhou from Wang Zhong not too short ago, and the people she sent out were all trusted old men around her. Old Mrs. Sheng was famous for not being able to get rid of the dirt in her eyes, and Wang Zhong The reward was quite generous, so naturally no one foolishly stroked the old lady Sheng's beard.
Everything went well in Yangzhou. Early on the third day, everyone boarded the boat at Yangzhou Pier, merged into the Yangtze River along the canal, and then sailed to Jinling.
Yangzhou is more than two hundred miles away from Youyang. Everyone first took the waterway and disembarked at Jinling Pier. They met Sheng Wei, who had already received the news and rushed to Jinling in advance yesterday to wait for a long time.
"Uncle, you've worked hard all the way!" Sheng Wei respected Mrs. Sheng very much and almost put her on the same level as his mother.
After some pleasantries, Wang Zhong and Chang Bai also went up to meet Sheng Wei. Seeing Chang Bai, the nephew who had high hopes for the Sheng family, the smile on Sheng Wei's face became even bigger.
Youyang was still forty or fifty miles away from Jinling. Mrs. Sheng and Wei Shuyi couldn't bear the bumpy road, so they rested in Jinling for the night and took the road to Youyang early the next morning.
Grandma Shanda, who had already received the news from Sheng Wei, led a group of daughters-in-law and grandchildren to wait outside the gate of Sheng's house. The middle door of Sheng's house was opened in a grand manner.
As soon as Mrs. Sheng got out of the car, the eldest lady couldn't wait to greet her. She grabbed Mrs. Sheng's hand and was quite excited.
If we hadn't been married to Mrs. Sheng for many years and knew Mrs. Sheng's temperament, she would have had her servants set up firecrackers and make it lively with gongs and drums.
The two old men, who together were over a hundred years old, had bright smiles on their faces, holding each other's hands and talking to each other.
Seeing the two old men talking endlessly, Sheng Wei stepped forward and said, "Mom, aunt, it's not a problem for so many of us to be at the door. Let's go inside and sit down and talk slowly!" "
"Look at my brain. When I get old, my brain doesn't work anymore. Weier is right. You came from a long way and it was a long journey. Let's get in the house quickly! Get in the house!"
The eldest lady smiled casually, complaining to herself as she pulled Old Madam Sheng into the house.
In the main hall, two old men were sitting at the top, holding hands. Sheng Wei, his two sons, his youngest daughter, and his wife Li were sitting on one side. Changbai, Wang Zhong and Minglan, and the one holding Changdong. Wei Shuyi sat on the other side.
From Yangzhou to Youyang, from being unfamiliar at first and not daring to recognize each other, to being so close now, it is the flesh that fell from Wei Shuyi's body, connected by blood, and Wei Shuyi also loves Changdong very much. In order to give birth to Changdong, , Wei Shuyi barely survived, half of his foot had stepped on the King of Hell's Palace, and he was dragged back by Wang Zhong.
two
The people around them all saluted and greeted the two old people sitting at the top. The old lady also introduced her family members to Wang Zhong, Wei and Minglan one by one.
"This is Pinlan, she is about the same age as your sixth girl. She is spoiled by me, like a monkey!" When the old lady said this, her face was full of smiles, which showed her love for Pinlan.
Pinlan is slightly taller than Minglan, and her eyebrows are somewhat similar to her mother Li's. She always has a smile on her face, and her temperament is very cheerful, just like the blooming sunflower.
"How old is Sixth Sister this year?" Pinlan looked at Minglan, blinked her big black and white eyes, and asked curiously.
Minglan replied: "Next month is my tenth birthday!"
"Then I'm older than you, so you have to call me sister!" Pinlan raised her eyebrows, and the smile on her face became brighter, and she said very proudly.
"Sister Pinlan!" Minglan behaved very well.
The smile on Pinlan's face became even wider, she became more and more proud, and she happily replied: "Sister Minglan!"
"This girl! She's spoiled by me and has no integrity!" The eldest lady, who was sitting in the front seat with Mrs. Sheng, saw this and said to Mrs. Sheng next to her with a smile.
But Mrs. Sheng also smiled and joked: "Such a straightforward, simple, optimistic and cheerful granddaughter, no wonder you dote on her to heaven!"
Pinlan's beautiful and bright eyes twinkled, and she walked up to Old Mrs. Sheng with a smile on her face. She took Old Mrs. Sheng's hand and said, "Uncle, you have to make the decision for me. Grandma always says that I am a skinny monkey." , I am usually the most well-behaved and obedient one!"
The old lady was dumbfounded and pointed at Pinlan and said, "Look! Just when you praised her, this girl's tail almost reached the sky."
Mrs. Sheng, however, grabbed Pinlan's hand and said very happily: "You are a child, you should be naughty and out of control to be lively. I think she is too quiet for my family!"
"Your sixth girl is so sensible that she doesn't let you worry! How can she be like this little bastard like mine? If you don't talk to her for three days, she will dare to go up to the house with a ladder and lift the tiles!"
"Grandma, how can I go to the house to unveil the tiles?" Pinlan doesn't do that. The most she can do is climb trees, dig out bird eggs, go down to the river to catch fish, etc. She has never done it before.
As soon as Pinlan said this, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment. The two old ladies looked at each other, and then they raised their heads to the sky and laughed in unison.
Pinlan's mother, Li, was both doting and helpless: "Silly girl, your grandmother was just a metaphor!"
"Metaphor?" Although Pinlan didn't read much and was relatively naive at a young age, she came to her senses after seeing everyone's reaction.
"Let me tell you, I have never gone to the house to lift the tiles of our house."
As he said this, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and added: "Other people don't have it either!"
It immediately caused everyone to laugh again, and the atmosphere was also heightened.
Wang Zhong looked at Pinlan, who had a flash of playfulness in his eyes, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. This girl was indeed outspoken and cheerful, but she was not all stubborn, which was quite interesting.
After a while, the food was ready. Sheng Wei and Li waited for everyone to eat. The women and children sat at one table, while Wang Zhong and other men sat at another table.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
Let’s not use the polite rules for greeting people outside. On such a happy day, wouldn’t it be better for all of us to eat well, drink well, and enjoy the joy of reunion than anything else? "
Seeing the slight smile on Wang Zhong's face and his sincere and free eyes, Sheng Wei also had a smile on his face: "What Zi Hou said is that everyone here today is from his own family. You don't have to be rigid. Eat well, drink well, and enjoy the reunion. Happiness is the right thing to do!"
After saying that, he called his two sons to have wine with Wang Zhong and Chang Bai. As they exchanged cups, the smiles on everyone's faces became more and more numerous.
If he is really good at dancing, Wang Zhong is even better than Sheng Hong. Whether he is a prince or aristocrat in the upper class of society or a peddler and a pawn at the bottom, Wang Zhong can tell people from all walks of life. It would be easier to say a few words and have a few glasses of wine.
Brothers Chang Song and Chang Wu had often heard Wang Zhong's name from their father Sheng Wei, and every time Sheng Wei mentioned Wang Zhong, he was full of praise, as if he wished Wang Zhong was his son.
Originally, the two brothers had some complaints about Wang Zhong. After all, what his father said about other people's children was really unlikable.
But after Wang Zhong became the first-class scholar in one fell swoop, he was ranked number one in the new class.
No, it should be said that since Wang Zhong won the title of Toad Palace in the autumn of Huainan East Road, the two brothers' views on Wang Zhong gradually changed. After Wang Zhong won the Jinshi.
If the two brothers were still a little unconvinced in their hearts, thinking that their father couldn't stand them, so they compared outsiders with them, they were still a little unconvinced. After all, young people are hot-blooded, but when they knew the news, the original His dissatisfaction disappeared instantly.
Let alone the eighteen-year-old new subject champion, even if the two brothers were to take the exam, even if they were lucky enough to become a scholar, they would not be able to pass the autumn, let alone the spring.
The two brothers also looked away. Wang Zhong was indeed powerful. No wonder his father always used him as a lesson to teach his brothers.
Changsong is the elder and has started to take care of the family business with Sheng Hong over the years. Changwu is younger and is currently practicing martial arts at home with the martial artist Sheng Wei invited back. He is learning the art of war and strategy from the teacher and is preparing to participate in the martial arts competition.
Although the two brothers took different paths, they were not much different in age. It was a time when they were full of curiosity about everything. Wang Zhong talked to them about the luxurious people he had met, his experiences from all over the world, the local style and food. .
Although Wang Zhong was young, he was very knowledgeable in everything he said. Even Sheng Wei, who had been traveling around for many years, couldn't fault him, so he kept the two brothers stunned.
Early the next morning, Wang Zhong and Chang Bai were doing morning exercises in the courtyard, and Chang Wu came over.
"Brother! Brother!" Chang Wu was fine when he came in, but when he saw Wang Zhong and Chang Bai, one wielding a knife and the other practicing a sword, he couldn't help shouting hello.
"It's Wu Di!" Chang Bai held his sword and raised his hand to Chang Wu to say hello.
"Brother Bai can actually do swordsmanship?" When Changwu came in just now, Changbai was dancing with a sword, and he was extremely skilled in a set of swordsmanship.
Changbai smiled and said: "I learned some boxing, kicking and swordsmanship from Zihou to strengthen my body, but I'm not yet proficient in it."
Chang Wu followed the martial arts master Sheng Wei invited back and also practiced fists, kicks, and sticks for several years. Although his kung fu was average, he still had some skills in his eyes. He knew that Chang Bai was proficient in swordsmanship, so he said this out of humility, but Chang Bai was very skilled in swordsmanship. Bai's words made Chang Wu even more curious about Wang Zhong next to him: "I have long heard from my father that brother Zihou is not only outstanding in literary talent, but also very powerful in martial arts. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary."
"Brother Changwu, thank you!" Wang Zhong also said with a cup of his hands.
Chang Wu was not polite and said directly: "Brother Zihou, I have also practiced spear and stick with a martial artist for several years. I wonder if brother Zihou can give me some advice?"
"What's the point of advice? As far as my skills are concerned, let's learn from each other and share our experiences!"
"Then let's spar!" After saying that, Chang Wu took Wang Zhong and Chang Bai to the martial arts field specially prepared for him by Sheng Wei. Class 18 had all kinds of weapons.
Chang Wu walked to the weapons shelf, pulled out a long stick and said, "I am better at marksmanship. We are just competing, so we use the stick instead. What weapon does brother Zihou use?"
? "
Wang Zhong walked to the weapon shelf, picked up a short stick and said, "Then I'll use this!"
"Brother Zihou, every inch is longer and every inch is stronger, are you sure you want to use this?" Chang Wu asked, looking at the short stick that was less than six feet tall in Wang Zhong's hand.
Wang Zhong, however, held the short stick with both hands as if holding a sword, and said with a confident smile: "Brother Changwu, don't be careless. Although my stick is short, it has a lot of changes!"
"Just in time to try it!" Chang Wu shouted low, swung his long stick, drew out his bow, and pointed the tail of the stick at Wang Zhong: "Brother Zihou, be careful!"
Since Chang Wu said to use sticks instead of spears, he naturally used marksmanship. As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned towards Wang Zhong and used the long stick in his hand as a long spear.
There is a proverb in the martial arts, which is that the stick hits a large area, and the gun pricks a line. This is the difference between the gun and the stick.
As soon as Chang Wu thrust out his spear, Wang Zhong knew that this kid had worked hard for a long time. The spear style was steady and accurate. It already had some firepower, but it lacked some ruthlessness.
"good!"
Wang Zhong cheered, but the movement of his hand was not slow. Although it was a short stick, he could also use the blocking method to separate the long stick in just one circle.
Chang Wu took advantage of the situation to draw the spear, released the force, and in a flash, the waist and horse united, the force rose from the ground, and the spear thrust out again.
In a moment, the sticks had touched each other more than ten times. The more Chang Wu hit him, the brighter his eyes became. He even didn't hold back at all. Every time he thrust out a spear, he used all his strength, but Wang Zhong killed them one by one. Blocked, no one missed.
Seeing that the fast and fast shot was separated by Wang Zhong again, Chang Wu was about to change his moves, but saw Wang Zhong on the opposite side move, holding the end of the long stick in his hand like a knife, and stepped forward, unexpectedly He followed the stick towards himself.
Chang Wu's expression suddenly changed, his steps changed, and he hurriedly retreated, while at the same time thrusting out the spear in his hand again.
But Wang Zhong was faster and more flexible. He used the short stick in his hand to strike from bottom to top. The force was not particularly strong, but it knocked Chang Wu's long stick off course.
At the same time, the speed increased again, and the short stick in his hand was pressed against Chang Wu's long stick and he slashed towards Chang Wu with a knife motion.
Chang Wu retreated again and again, his body and spear skills constantly changing, and he even used sticks, fists and kicks. Finally, he was forced into a corner and restrained his neck.
"It is true that an inch long is stronger, but there is also a saying that an inch short is dangerous!"
"Long soldiers such as spears and sticks are most afraid of letting people get close to them. Brother Changwu has practiced marksmanship well and has a solid foundation. However, he is still young, lacks strength, and lacks experience in battle. In a few years, I want to do it again. It’s not that easy to win.”
"Thank you for your advice, brother." Although he lost in the sparring match, Chang Wu didn't mind. Instead, he was very curious about the sword technique Wang Zhong used just now, and his eyes shone brightly: "The sword technique that brother used just now to replace the sword with a stick seemed very good. It’s exquisite!”
"Want to learn?" Wang Zhong looked at Chang Wu with a smile.
Chang Wu was stunned: "Brother, are you willing to teach me?"
"It's just a set of sword skills, why not!"
Wang Zhongdang replaced the sword with a stick and taught him how to use the Changwu sword.
In fact, Chang Wu himself knows how to use swordsmanship, but Chang Wu only practices a single sword and a simple sword with a long handle. He only dabbles in it and is not proficient in it.
However, since Wang Zhong is willing to teach, Chang Wu is naturally willing to learn.
After breakfast, the two old ladies were chatting and reminiscing together. The two old ladies were also very open-minded. Knowing that these children were uncomfortable staying with them for a long time, the eldest old lady asked Changsong and Chang Wu, along with Chang Bai, Wang Zhong, Minglan and Pinlan, went out to visit Youyang.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they went out, they saw a carriage parked outside Sheng's house. Looking at the man and woman who had just got off the carriage, the expressions of Changsong, Changwu and Pinlan sisters changed instantly. .
