Chapter 371 To Yangzhou, to Youyang

"Xiao Niang! The old lady has returned with Sixth Miss, Seventh Brother and our future son-in-law!"

In the Sheng family's mansion, Wei Shuyi was embroidering in the room, suddenly Xiaodie ran in in a hurry, and rushed to Wei Shi with an excited face.

The movements in Wei Shuyi's hands froze, and the embroidery needle twirling between his fingers landed quietly at some point, his expression also became sluggish, and his mind went blank for an instant.

"Xiao Niang! Xiao Niang!" Xiao Die didn't care about so many rules anymore, and hurriedly called Wei Shuyi.

"What did you say?" Wei Shuyi's consciousness gradually returned, but he still couldn't believe it. I don't know if Xiaodie said it wrong, or she heard it wrong.

"Xiao Niang! Our old lady has returned with Sixth Miss and Seventh Brother and our future son-in-law! And our second brother! People have already arrived in the front hall!"

Wei Shu said doubtfully, "Really?"

"Really, really!" Xiaodie hurriedly urged: "Nurse Qin is answering in the front hall right now, please pack up quickly and go to the front hall to meet the old lady!"

Wei Shuyi hurriedly asked Xiaodie to help her wash and wash, and after a while, hurried to the front hall.

In the main hall, an old lady Sheng dressed in brocade and plain color sat at the head, Minglan and Changbai sat on the left and right of the old lady in turn, and then there was Wang Zhong who had saved him, holding a one or two-year-old girl in his arms. baby, sitting on the edge of the long cypress.

With just one glance at Wei Shuyi, he recognized that Wang Zhong was hugging his son Changdong, resisting the urge in his heart to hug his son and daughter and express his lovesickness, Wei Shuyi hurriedly stepped forward to give the old lady Sheng Seeing the ceremony, before she could get close, Ming Lan rushed up impatiently, hugged Wei Shuyi's thigh, and called out to be "Xiao Niang".

Wei Shuyi pulled Minglan and went forward to salute Old Madam Sheng first.

The old lady Sheng asked with a smile, "How is your health?"

Wei Shu thought: "The doctor said that it is almost healed, it's just that the internal organs were hurt by the knife, and occasionally there will be some dull pain in the abdomen, but the doctor said that there is no serious problem!"

"It just so happens that Zihou is also here. Back then, Zihou snatched you back from the Palace of the King of Hades. Let Zihou show you!"

Wei Shuyi saluted, walked to Wang Zhong and sat down beside him, Wang Zhong smiled and sent Changdong to Wei Shuyi's arms, but little Changdong hadn't even had his biological mother's milk, so he wasn't close at all.

Seeing his son like this, Wei Shuyi's bright and beautiful eyes immediately burst into tears.

"This child is a bit shy. After you get along for a long time, you will naturally get close!" Changdong refused to let Wei Shuyi hug him, so he could only let the familiar Fangmao hug him, and Minglan was beside him holding Wei Shuyi other hand.

"Auntie!"

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 agitated for a while, and he couldn't restrain himself, but now he has calmed down, holding Minglan's little hand, smiling Said softly: "Ming'er is good, my little lady is fine!"

Wei Shuyi actually called herself Xiaoniang.

Ming Lan nodded, but couldn't help worrying in her heart, and subconsciously looked at Wang Zhong who was giving Wei Shu his pulse.

"Indeed, it's almost healed, and most of its vitality has returned!" Wang Zhong said: "It's just that the uterus is damaged, and it will be difficult to have children in the future."

"So the young lady is all right?" Ming Lan asked with surprise.

Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "It will be worse than normal people after all. The last time I almost died and survived, I suffered a lot of damage. Although I made up for it, some of it was still consumed. Now that Wei Xiaoniang is young, I don't think much of it. But if you wait until you get older in the future, it will be hard to say."

"Brother Zihou, what can you do?" Minglan asked in a hurry with her face drooping.

"The medicine is three-point poisonous, and the function of the soup is only auxiliary. If you really want to completely return to normal, it depends on Wei Xiaoniang's own chance!" Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "It can only be recuperated slowly! But... "

"But what?" Ming Lan hurriedly asked.

Wang Zhongdao: "Qi and blood are the foundation of the human body, and the body's Qi and blood can be slowly polished through the day after tomorrow. If the Qi and blood are strong, the body is strong, and a little overflowing vitality, supplemented by food supplements and slowly recuperated, it may be able to make up for the lost vitality. !"

Changbai looked at Wang Zhong and had a guess in his heart, but he was not sure: "What does Zihou mean?"

Wang Zhongdao: "The so-called deficiency is not replenished, it refers to Wei Xiaoniang's current condition, Wei Xiaoniang is weak now, no matter how many supplements are used, it will not help, because her body has no way to absorb these. Great tonic."

"So what you need to do now is to strengthen your body and promote the circulation of Qi and blood?"

"Not bad!"

"It's easy to say, but walk more and sit less in the room. If you can, jog every day, practice health preservation techniques, and eat lightly for the time being. If you can persist for a few years, it may be effective .”

"Then can you go to Youyang with us?" Ming Lan asked with concern.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Now Wei Xiaoniang's condition has basically improved, and her actions are no longer a serious problem, so it's natural!"

······
Most of Wang Zhong's words were positive. Wei Shuyi's hidden wounds on his body could not be eradicated easily.

After exchanging pleasantries, the meal was prepared in the kitchen. Mrs. Sheng took Changdong to accompany Wang Zhong and Changbai to eat outside, while Minglan went to the back room to have dinner with her mother Wei Shuyi to reminisce about the old days.

Because Wang wanted to return to the Wang family to pay respects to the ancestors, Mrs. Sheng also had to count the properties that she was asked to take care of, so she was delayed in Yangzhou for three days.

It has not been a short time for Mrs. Sheng to take Yangzhou's property from Wang Zhong's hands, and the people she sent are all trusted old people around her. The reward was quite generous, so no one would foolishly stroke the old lady's beard.

Everything went smoothly in Yangzhou. In the early morning of the third day, everyone boarded the boat at the Yangzhou pier, followed the canal into the Yangtze River, and then sailed to Jinling.

Yangzhou is more than 200 miles away from Youyang. Everyone took the water first and disembarked at Jinling Wharf. They met Sheng Wei who had already received the news and rushed to Jinling yesterday to wait for a long time.

"Auntie has worked hard all the way!" Sheng Wei respected Mrs. Sheng very much, and almost put Mrs. Sheng in the same position as his mother.

After some pleasantries, Wang Zhong and Chang Bai also went up to greet Sheng Wei. Seeing Chang Bai, the nephew whom the Sheng family placed high hopes on, the smile on Sheng Wei's face became even wider.

Youyang is still [-] or [-] miles away from Jinling, and Mrs. Sheng and Wei Shuyi couldn't bear the bumps, so they rested in Jinling for the night, and took the road to Youyang early the next morning.

Grandma Sheng, 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.

Once Mrs. Sheng got out of the car, Mrs. Da couldn't wait to go up to her and grabbed Mrs. Sheng's hand, feeling quite excited.

If it wasn't for the sister-in-law who knew old lady Sheng's temperament for many years, she guessed that Grandma Sheng would definitely let the servants have a firecracker battle, and the gongs and drums would be very lively.

The two old people, who together are more than 100 years old, had bright smiles on their faces, and they held each other's hands and confided in each other.

Seeing that the two old men had endless words to say, Sheng Wei stepped forward and said: "Mother, Aunt, it's not a problem for so many of us to stand at the door, let's sit in the room and talk slowly! "

"Look at my brain, I'm old, and my brain doesn't turn anymore. Weir is right. You have come from a long distance, and the journey has been tiring. Let's hurry into the house, into the house!"

The old lady smiled casually, while complaining to herself, she dragged old lady Sheng into the house.

In the main hall, two elderly people were sitting at the head, arm in arm. Sheng Wei was sitting with his two sons, his youngest daughter and his wife, Li Shi, on the side, Changbai Wang Zhong and Ming Lan, and Changdong who was holding Changdong. Wei Shuyi sat on the other side.

From Yangzhou to Youyang, from being unfamiliar at the beginning and not daring to recognize him, to being 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 almost survived the death, half of his foot had already stepped on the Palace of the King of Hades, and he was dragged back by Wang Zhong abruptly.

People on both sides saluted and greeted the two old people sitting at the top one after another, and the old lady also introduced her family members to Wang Zhong, Wei Shi and Ming Lan one by one.

"This is Pinlan. It's about the same age as your sixth girl. I've been spoiled by me all day, 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, her eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to her mother Li's, she often wears a smile on her face, and her disposition is very cheerful, just like a sunflower in full bloom.

"How old is Sixth Sister?" Pinlan looked at Minglan, blinked those big black and white eyes, and asked curiously.

Minglan replied: "Next month is my tenth birthday!"

"Then I'm older than you, you have to call me sister!" Pinlan raised her eyebrows, and said with great satisfaction that the smile on her face became brighter.

"Sister Pinlan!" Ming Lan acted very well-behaved.

The smile on Pinlan's face was even wider, and she became more and more proud, and she replied happily: "Sister Minglan!"

"This girl! She's spoiled by me, she's not a good type!" Seeing this, the old lady who was sitting on the first seat with Mrs. Sheng smiled and said to the old lady Sheng next to her.

The old lady Sheng also joked with a smile: "Such a straightforward, simple, optimistic and cheerful granddaughter, it's no wonder you spoil her so much!"

Pinlan's beautiful and bright eyes flickered, and she walked up to Old Madam Sheng with a smile on her face, she held her hand and said, "Grandmother, you have to decide for me, grandma always says I'm a monkey , I am usually the most well-behaved and obedient!"

The old lady couldn't laugh or cry, pointed at Pinlan and said, "Look! You just praised her, this girl's tail is almost up to the sky."

The old lady Sheng held Pinlan's hand, and said very happily: "Children, it's only lively when they are naughty and out-of-the-way. I think she's too quiet in my house!"

"Your sixth girl is so sensible, I don't want you to worry about it! It's not like my monkey, if you don't talk about her for three days, she will dare to go up the house by herself on a ladder!"

"Grandmother, there is no Shangfang Jiewa!" Pinlan didn't do it, at most she would climb trees, dig out bird eggs, go down the river to catch fish, etc. Shangfang Jiewa had 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 all looked up to the sky and burst out laughing.

Pinlan's mother, Li Shi, was both doting and helpless and said: "Silly girl, your grandmother is a metaphor!"

"A metaphor?" Although Pinlan didn't read much and was relatively innocent at a young age, she came to her senses after seeing everyone's reactions.

"Let me just say, I have never lifted the roof tiles of our house."

As he spoke, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and he added: "No one else's either!"

Immediately, everyone laughed again, and the atmosphere was heightened.

Wang Zhong looked at Pinlan whose playful look flashed away, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. This girl is indeed straightforward and cheerful, but she is not completely straight-hearted, which is quite interesting.

After a while, the food was ready, Sheng Wei and Li Shi greeted everyone to eat, women and children sat at one table, Wang Zhong and several men sat at another table.

"Nephew came all the way from thousands of miles away, and the journey was tiring. There is nothing good at home, so I can only prepare a little wine. Don't be disgusted with nephew!" When we met again, Sheng Wei became very polite, a little less casual than before. , a little more polite.

"Uncle, between you and me, when did you need to be so polite?"

Sheng Wei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and picked up the wine glass: "What my nephew said is very true, I made a mistake, I will punish myself with a drink!"

As he spoke, he wanted to drink, but was stopped by Wang Zhong raising his hand.

"Uncle, we are all one family. What two families say? You are the elder and I am the junior. There is no reason for the elder to drink in front of the junior!"

Speaking of which, Wang Zhong has already picked up his wine glass: "The people present here today are all from our own family members. Let's not take out those polite rules that are greeted and sent outside. Today is such a happy day. Let's eat and drink well. Well, isn’t enjoying the joy of reunion better than anything else?”

Looking at the smile on Wang Zhong's face and the sincere and free-spirited eyes, Sheng Wei also showed a smile on his face: "What Zihou said is that everyone here today is from his own family, so you don't have to stick to it, eat and drink well, and enjoy the reunion Joy is the truth!"

As he spoke, he called his two sons to have a drink with Wang Zhong and Chang Bai.Between pushing cups and changing cups, the smiles on everyone's faces grew more and more.

If it is true that Wang Zhong is better at dancing than long-sleeved, Wang Zhong is even worse than Sheng Hong. Whether he is a prince or aristocrat in the upper class, or a low-level trafficker, Wang Zhong can tell people from all walks of life. A few words, and a few glasses of wine would make it easier.

Brothers Changsong and Changwu had often heard Wang Zhong's name from their father Sheng Wei, and whenever Sheng Wei mentioned Wang Zhong, he was full of praise, as if he wished Wang Zhong was his son.

Originally, the two brothers still had some complaints about Wang Zhong. After all, the children of other people's family that the father said were really unlikable.

But since he got Wang Zhong to be admitted in one fell swoop, and he was also the top one, after the new champion.

No, it should be said that since Wang Zhong won the laurel in the Toad Palace in the autumn of Huainan East Road, the two brothers' views on Wang Zhong have gradually changed, after Wang Zhong was selected as a Jinshi.

If it is said that the two brothers were still a little unconvinced at the bottom of their hearts, thinking that their father could not understand them, so they compared them with outsiders, they were still a little unconvinced. After all, young people are passionate, but when they learned the news, the original The dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant.

Not to mention the champion of the new subject, even if the two brothers were allowed to take the exam, even if they were lucky enough to win the scholar, they would not be able to pass the autumn, let alone the spring.

The two brothers also looked away, Wang Zhong was really good, no wonder his father always used him to teach his brothers.

Changsong is old, and has started to take care of the family business with Sheng Hong these years. Changwu is younger, and the martial artist invited back by Sheng Wei is currently practicing martial arts at home, learning the art of war from the teacher, and preparing to participate in martial arts.

Although the two brothers took different paths, they were not much different in age. It was the time when they were full of curiosity about everything. Wang Zhong talked with them about the extravagant people he had met, what he had seen and heard from all over the world, the local style, food, etc. .

Although Wang Zhong is not very old, he speaks so well in everything, even Sheng Wei, who has traveled all over the world for many years, can't make a mistake, so he frightens the two brothers for a moment.

Early the next morning, Wang Zhong and Chang Bai were doing morning exercises in the courtyard, and Chang Wu came to find them.

"Brother! Brother!" Changwu was fine when he entered the door, but when he saw Wang Zhong and Changbai practicing swordplay and swordplay, he couldn't help but greeted him loudly.

"It's Brother Wu!" Chang Bai held his sword and bowed his hands to Chang Wu to say hello.

"Brother Bai actually knows swordsmanship?" Just now when Changwu came in, Changbai was dancing with a sword, and he was extremely proficient in a set of swordsmanship.

Changbai said with a smile: "I learned some boxing, foot and sword skills from Zihou, but I'm still not proficient in practice."

The martial artist Chang Wu invited back with Sheng Wei also practiced boxing, foot, spear and club for several years. Although his kung fu is average, there are still some in his eyes. Bai's words made Chang Wu even more curious about Wang Zhong next to him: "I heard from my father a long time ago that brother Zihou is not only outstanding in literary talent, but also in martial arts. When I saw him today, he really is extraordinary."

"Brother Changwu has won the award!" Wang Zhong also cupped his hands.

Chang Wu was also not polite, and directly cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zihou, I have also practiced spear sticks with a martial artist for several years. I wonder if brother Zihou can give me some pointers?"

"What advice do you have, as long as I'm a cropper, let's learn from each other and exchange ideas!"

"Then let's learn from each other!" As he said that, Chang Wu dragged Wang Zhong and Chang Bai to the martial arts field that Sheng Wei specially prepared for him. The [-]th squad had all kinds of weapons.

Changwu walked to the weapon shelf, pulled out a long stick and said, "I'm better at marksmanship, we're just sparring, so we robbed with a stick, what kind of weapon does brother Zihou use?"

Wang Zhong walked to the weapon shelf, picked up a short stick with eyebrows, and said: "Then I will use this!"

"Brother Zihou, one inch is long and one inch is strong, are you sure to use this?" Chang Wu asked, looking at Wang Zhong's brow-level short stick, which was less than six feet long.

Wang Zhong held the short stick with both hands in the posture of holding a knife, and said with a confident smile: "Brother Changwu, don't be careless. Although my stick is short, it has changed a lot!"

"Just try it!" Chang Wu snorted, swung his long stick, lunged away, and pointed the end of the stick at Wang Zhong: "Brother Zihou, be careful!"

Since Changwu said to use sticks instead of spears, he naturally used marksmanship, as soon as he finished speaking, he leaned towards Wang Zhong, and the long stick in his hand was like a long spear.

There is a proverb in martial arts, that is, a stick hits a large area, and a gun sticks a thread, which is the difference between a gun and a stick.

As soon as Changwu shot out, Wang Zhong knew that this kid had put in a lot of hard work, the spear style was steady and accurate, and he had already got a bit of heat, but he lacked a bit of ruthlessness.

"it is good!"

Wang Zhong applauded, but the movements of his hands were not slow. Although it was a short stick, it could also be used to block the long sticks with only one circle.

Changwu took advantage of the situation to draw the gun, and let go of his strength. Between shaking and changing, the waist and the horse became one, and the force rose from the ground, and the spear pierced out again.

In an instant, the sticks touched more than ten times, Changwu's eyes became brighter as he struck, and he didn't even hold back his hand at all. Every time he stabbed out, he tried his best, but Wang Zhong shot them one by one. Stop it, and nothing will fail.

Seeing that the sharp and fast shot was blocked by Wang Zhong again, Changwu was about to change his move, but saw Wang Zhong on the opposite side moved, holding the end of the long stick in his hand like a knife with both hands, striding forward, unexpectedly Along the body of the stick, he stuck it towards himself.

Changwu's complexion changed suddenly, his steps changed, and he hurriedly retreated, at the same time sticking out the spear in his hand again.

But Wang Zhong's speed was faster, and his movement was more flexible. The short stick in his hand went from bottom to top, and he used a slashing knife. The strength was not particularly strong, but it knocked Chang Wu's long stick to the side.

At the same time, the speed increased again, and the short stick in his hand stuck to Changwu's long stick as a saber gesture and slashed towards Changwu.

Changwu retreated again and again, changing his body and spear techniques, even using stick techniques, fists and kicks, and was finally forced to the corner of the wall, stopping his neck.

"An inch long is indeed an inch strong, but there is also a saying that an inch short is an inch dangerous!"

"Long soldiers such as guns and sticks are the most forbidden to let people get close. Brother Changwu's marksmanship is well practiced, and his foundation is solid, but he is still young, lacks strength, and lacks experience in battle. After a few years, I want to fight again. Win, it’s not that easy.”

"Thank you, brother, for your advice." Although the sparring was lost, Chang Wu didn't mind, on the contrary, he was very curious about the saber technique that Wang Zhong used just now, and his eyes lit up: "The saber technique that brother just used instead of a stick seems very It's exquisite!"

"Want to learn?" Wang Zhong looked at Chang Wu with a smile.

Chang Wu was taken aback: "Brother is willing to teach me?"

"It's just a set of knife skills, why not!"

Wang Zhongdang even used sticks instead of swords to teach the usage of Changwu long swords.

In fact, Changwu himself knows how to use swordsmanship, but Changwu has practiced single-handed swords, and simple swords with a long handle, and he only dabbled in it, not proficient in it.

But since Wang Zhong is willing to teach, Chang Wu is naturally willing to learn.

After breakfast, the two old ladies chatted together, and the two old ladies were also very open-minded, knowing that these dolls would feel uncomfortable staying with them for a long time, so the old lady asked Chang Song and Changwu led Changbai, Wang Zhong, Minglan and Pinlan, and went out to visit Youyang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the house, he saw a carriage parked outside the Sheng's house. Looking at a man and a woman who had just got off the carriage, the expressions of Chang Song, Chang Wu and Pinlan sisters changed instantly. .
