Shen Ruoyu took the Flying Star Guqin rewarded by King Yan and Nangong Qiu, who was well-fed, and went home together. As soon as he entered the house, he was taken aback. There are no more guests in the hotel; In the midst of the light, three men saw him come in and stood up from the table. One is Lu Jiang, his mother-in-law. The other two, one is the young man in white who robbed him of the bride yesterday, and the other is the old Taoist who plays the piano, the young man's master.

His first thought was that they were really not finished, and he came to him the next day; He subconsciously stretched out his arm and hugged Nangong Qiu's waist tightly as a sign to the world.

The young man was a little embarrassed, looked at him, turned his head to look at Lu Jiang, then at Nangong Qiu, then at Lu Jiang, and then at the master, looking a little masterless.

The old man opened his mouth: "Shen Ruoliao, your family lives here?" ”

Shen Ruoyu looked at the two suspiciously and warily.

"Yes; This is my home, this is my mother, this is my daughter-in-law. ”

The young man obviously wanted to speak, but he stopped talking, and secretly glanced at Lu Jiang again.

Lu Jiang lowered his head, didn't look at anyone, didn't say a word; Shen Ruoyu felt that something was wrong with her, and after taking a closer look, she was suddenly surprised to find that in the shadow of the light, her mother's face was full of tears.

What's wrong? What the hell are these two people doing? It's understandable to rob his Qiu'er, why do you still want to bully his mother?

He was furious and asked coldly, "In the dead of night, you two don't know what to do here?" ”

The old man replied coldly: "My master and apprentice came during the day, but you Yibin Lang was not there, so I waited until now." There's one thing you have to tell you. ”

Shen Ruoxiao's eyes were like knives, and he looked directly at Lao Dao: "Listen to me." ”

The old man said: "It's time for you to know the names of my master and apprentice. ”

Shen Ruoyu sneered: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in knowing now, I want to sleep." It's better to bother you two to come back tomorrow morning, and it's not too late to tell me then. ”

When the old Taoist heard this, he also smiled coldly: "Really? Very good. We can't ask for it. Jiang'er, let's go. ”

The young man pleaded, "Master! ――”

He turned his head and glanced at Lu Jiang hesitantly.

Seeing the tears on Lu Jiang's face, Shen Ruoyu couldn't hold it back, and suddenly took a step across, blocked the front of the old road, and said:

"Don't go; Tell me clearly, why did you make me cry? You want to rob my daughter-in-law with me, I have accepted the challenge and are waiting for me at any time, I didn't expect you to take advantage of my absence and run over to bully my mother. If you have the ability, you will go head-to-head, what kind of hero is this kind of behavior? ”

Nangong Qiu also saw Lu Jiang's condition, and echoed angrily: "That's right, don't be ashamed, who can afford you." ”

The young man's cheeks immediately turned purple with shame, and he looked at the master with some complaints. The old man was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth, his tone a little softer, but still cold:

"Yi Binlang and His Royal Highness the County Lord have misunderstood. We didn't bully Madame, Madame was overly excited, so she shed tears; If you don't believe me, you can ask herself. ”

Lu Jiang's appearance was obviously speechless. Shen Ruoyu said coldly:

"You may wish to speak clearly; What did you both say to my mother to make her cry like this? ”

The old Taoist said: "Lord Yibin, if I remember correctly, Shen Rufeng's wife and your biological mother should be Du Yunjun, the only daughter of Du Nanshan, one of the four gentlemen of the Poison Sect, right?" ”

"My own mother is no longer alive. Now my mother is my stepmother, but it has nothing to do with you. ”

"It has nothing to do with it," said the old man unceremoniously, "my apprentice is Madame's own son, and now he has come home, only to find that you are living in his house and have taken his place. ”

For a while, Nangong Qiu wondered if Shen Ruoyu was out of his body, and for a long time, he didn't react at all, neither spit out a word, make a sound, nor move, not even an expression, and never blinked his eyes.

After a long time, he finally moved his lips slightly, and asked a little vaguely, "What did you say?" ”

The old man pointed to his apprentice and said, "His surname is Hong, and his single name is a Jiang character; Twelve years ago, when he was only eight years old, I took him as an apprentice and took him to the Kunlun Mountains to teach him martial arts and study. Now he's home. What are you going to do? ”

Shen Ruoyu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly his heart was suddenly startled and reacted. He subconsciously looked at Lu Jiang, who was looking at the handsome young man who was against him with tears in his eyes, and he didn't even look at himself. She didn't need to spit out another word, everything was already so straightforward, better than all words.

This young man turned out to be the Hongjiang, the Hongjiang he always remembered, and the Hongjiang he had always forgotten. No wonder the first time I met him, it felt so surprisingly familiar and intimate. He looks very similar to his mother, completely inherited his mother's beauty, and is much more perfect.

-- His mother, not mine --

Shen Ruoyu asked in a low voice, "Dare to ask the seniors' names?" ”

The old man said, "My name, it stands to reason that you should not be unfamiliar. The four gentlemen of the poison sect, three are still alive, the senior brother is Lord Yao next to King Yan, and the third junior brother is your grandfather. I am Tan Wuying. ”

Shen Ruoyu was taken aback again: "You are ...... My grandfather's second brother, Tan ...... Old-timer? ”

Tan Wuying said coldly: "The old-timers don't dare to be. Moreover, the three of us have been separated for more than 20 years, and I haven't been back to Lushan for a long time. ”

Tan Wuying is the second apprentice of Du Shibi among the four gentlemen of the Poison Sect, the second junior brother of Yao Biao, and the second senior brother of Du Nanshan. This man has a notoriously stubborn temper. As soon as he sees something, he does it; And once he wants to do something, the nine cows can't pull it back, and if someone dares to stop him, he will discipline that person and walk around without eating. When he was still studying medicine in Lushan Yangxin Hospital, once, he pulled some novel herbs out of nowhere, firmly believed that they were non-toxic, and he had to taste them. Yao Biao's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to invite his master Du Shixi. Du Shibi tried every means to dissuade him, but he became more and more stubborn, and in the end, he was so angry that he put the herb into the soup pot, not only did he finally get his wish, but also let everyone else drink it, causing diarrhea in the entire nursing home for two days. Since then, not only Du Nanshan and Yao Biao, but even Du Shili have been afraid of him, and they dare not confront him in everything, even if they want to dissuade him, they have racked their brains and made euphemistic words, and they must first praise him for doing it very well, but unfortunately what is the fly in the ointment, or what other way would be better--in order to make him happy and finally obedient.

However, Tan Wuying is indeed a kind-hearted and well-behaved person, who always believes in his words and has a strong sense of responsibility, and will definitely admit the mistakes he has made to his face, and sincerely repent, and is very manly. In that herbal medicine incident, he saw that he was impulsive, not only making the master and his brother and brother suffer, but also implicating the completely innocent sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law and two nephews, especially the junior brother's baby daughter Du Yunjun, causing the little girl to be flustered for a month, her face was pale, and she was weak. He immediately regretted it, knelt down in front of his master and disciples, and after several months of painstaking study, he made a new elixir for gout with the new herbs and other medicinal herbs that culprit, which was praised by the master. He has always compensated for the mistakes caused by his stubborn impulses, and has achieved a great deal; But he can't always learn the lesson, and the next time he gets angry, he will continue to make new mistakes. However, the gold is not bare and the flaws are not hidden; Tan Wuying, together with his master Du Shixi, his senior brother Yao Biao, and his junior brother Du Nanshan, deservedly won the reputation of the Four Gentlemen of the Poison Sect and was famous all over the world.

Shen Ruoxiao smiled faintly: "Another gentleman; What a poisonous four gentlemen. You and your senior brother are really from the same family, so similar. Shen Ruoyu understood. ”

Tan Wuying was slightly stunned, didn't understand his words, or didn't expect it, and asked, "What?" ”

Shen Ruoyu looked at Hong Jiang and said with a smile: "You are finally home, I am very happy, mother-no, my aunt is talking about you every day, thinking about you is about to go crazy." You wait a moment, Qiu'er and I will go in and clean up, there are too many things; We'll leave when we're done. ”

Hong Jiang blushed and said, "I didn't mean that, I didn't want you to go, I just-" He was a little helpless.

Shen Ruoyu said: "If we don't leave, where do you live?" - Don't worry, promise that in an hour, we will leave. ”

"But—where are you going in the middle of the night?"

Shen Ruoyu thought for a moment.

"You don't have to worry about it, does it?" He is smiling, polite but aggressive. "The dignified county lord and the guest of honor are still afraid that there will be no place to go?"

He turned his head, looked at Nangong Qiu, smiled gently, and said softly, "Qiu'er, let's go pack up our things." Don't be afraid, I'm here. ”

He picked up Nangong Qiu and entered his room. The two of them didn't say a word and began to pack their things quickly.

Lu Jiang rushed into the house at this time, grabbed him, and cried: "Xiao'er, don't go, don't be angry, let's discuss it......"

Shen Ruoxiao smiled: "I'm not angry, look at what scared you." I was supposed to go. ”

"No, don't go, where are you going in the middle of the night...... Don't you go......"

Shen Ruoyu said: "I have a place to go, but I can't do it, we can always go to the prince, right?" - Auntie, don't worry about me. ”

Lu Jiang pulled him and shouted sadly, "What did you say? Xiao'er, why don't you call your mother? I'm your mother, why did you call your aunt here, you're confused? You hate me, don't you? ”

Shen Ruo had nothing to do, put down the things he was packing, looked at Lu Jiang and said:

"Auntie, you treat me like my own mother, I owe you this kindness, I will never forget it in this life, and I will repay it in the future. Now, Brother Hongjiang has gone home, he is your real son, he is the real master of this family, I am just playing this role for him for the time being, now I should return everything to him, I should leave here and find a place that truly belongs to me. How can you think I hate you? This is where and where. ”

Lu Jiang said: "Xiao'er, but you are already your mother's child, you are the meat of your mother's heart, your mother can't live without you now, what should you do if you leave your mother?" ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Auntie, you shouldn't tell me this, Brother Hongjiang is standing outside." ”

"Xiao'er," Lu Jiang hugged him and cried, "I beg you, don't go." You're my mother's child, don't go, my mother can't let you go......"

Shen Ruoyu couldn't stand it anymore. He hugged Lu Jiang and said softly, "Mother, what can I do?" Brother Hongjiang has returned, this position is born to belong to him, and I am not qualified to seize the position that belongs to him. ”

Hong Jiang appeared silently at this time, standing silently at the door, looking at everything in front of him.

When Lu Jiang saw him, he let go of Shen Ruoliao, looked at the faces of the two people, and pleaded:

"You are all my children, why can't you stay at the same time? - Jiang'er, when you are away, Xiao'er respects me like his own son, he is also a good son of his mother, you can be a good brother, do you have to let him go? ”

Hong Jiang shook his head and said, "I didn't say I was going to let him go, I just didn't expect ......"

Shen Ruoyu said: "Forget it, I'd better go, the house is such a big place, where can I fit so many people." ”

Hong Jiang said: "It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to move, you see that you have so many things, and you have the county lord by your side, how troublesome it is to move." Let's go, anyway, I came and went lightly, and I was staying at an inn with Master last night. ”

"Jiang'er, are you leaving?" Lu Jiang asked worriedly, tears streaming down his face. "Do you have to do this, one stays, and the other must go?"

Hong Jiang hurriedly said: "That's not what it means; Mother, I mean, no matter what, I won't move tonight, where is the reason to make people move in the middle of the night. I'll go back to the inn with Master first, and we'll discuss it tomorrow. What do you see, Ruo Few? ”

He shouted affectionately. Shen Ruoyu asked lightly:

"Would you like to be a teacher?"

Hong Jiang said: "This is my family matter, and my master doesn't care about him." ”

Your family affairs - it seems that it is none of my business, you will not allow me to exist in this family, and you will definitely not let me interfere.

He said coldly, "You are too polite. If it's not convenient, we'll be able to go right away. These things will be packed up in no time. You don't have to worry about where we're going. ”

"Xiao'er, don't go......" Lu Jiang pleaded weakly.

Hong Jiang hesitantly glanced at Lu Jiang, and then at Nangong Qiu.

Eventually, he said, "Forget it, I'd better go; It's so cold outside, it's not easy for His Royal Highness the county lord to catch a cold. We'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

He turned around and walked out, and left the Hongjia Hotel without saying a word with Tan Wuying, who was waiting outside.

Next, Shen Ruoyu and Nangong Qiu spent a whole night comforting Lu Jiang.
