Chapter 021: The Same Dream
Gong Changyu slashed Er Laizi and was rewarded by the village chief and patriarch, and the matter spread in Baishui Village, and Er Laizi became a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten. One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and the news gradually spread in the four capitals. The next morning, the news reached the young owner of the Zhu family compound in Tangwei.
He was practicing marksmanship in the martial arts training ground in his backyard, and was surprised when he heard the housekeeper say this, and said to Yinyue on the side with a smile: "Old learner, this kid is so brave at how old he is, and this person will become a great weapon in the future." Today, I'll go to Baishui Village to pick him up and practice martial arts, and cultivate it well! β
At this time, the eldest young grandmother Yinyue already had a son, named Rong Sen, who was four years old, and happened to have a student who studied and practiced martial arts. Lan Ping gave birth to a daughter and did not raise again.
She thought for a while and said, "Lao Xue is Lan Ping's nephew, without her nod, you dare to call the shots privately?" β
"I'm the head of the family, and I don't need to go through Lan Ping's nod and approval." While dancing his armor-piercing silver spear, Qi Room said, "I have long had the idea of taking Gong Changyu as a righteous son and teaching the Zhujia gun and the Taigong Art of War. β
"Shaodong, I wish the family's marksmanship has always been passed on inside and not outside, and he is a member of the Gong family, so it's better not to teach him." Yinyue said, "In August, Lao Xue lived in my house for a while, and secretly followed the adults several times to the Niushi Bridge area to watch others gamble. If he doesn't learn well, he wants to come to my house to live permanently, and he doesn't listen to the teachings, but you can feel good. β
"What are you going to do at Bullmarket Bridge?" Kai stopped the armor-piercing gun in his hand and stood.
"Do you still need to ask? Learn to gamble. "Silver Moon Nunu mouth.
"Wouldn't it? When I wasn't at home, he dared to go to that kind of place, and he was only a little over eight years old. Kai made a figure-eight gesture with his right hand.
"Your nephew was bold enough to ask him to go to the butcher's shop to buy meat, but he came back empty-handed when it got dark. I asked him if he had bought the meat, and he replied hesitantly that the money had fallen and that I would never let him buy anything again. Silvermoon sat down on a stone.
"And this? Once a child becomes addicted to gambling, it is not a good thing. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Kaimuro asked.
"You just came back from Chenzhou yesterday, and you saw that you were tired of traveling, so you didn't have time to say it." Yinyue crossed her hands and moved her wrists a few times, "Besides, his aunt Lan Ping won't let him say it......"
As he was talking, Lan Ping, who was sweating profusely, came to the martial arts training ground with a basket on his back: "Sister Yinyue, I won't let you say anything?" β
"It's not Changyu's business yet." Silver Moon answered.
"I don't understand, what's wrong with that kid?" Lan Ping looked dazed.
"Lao Xue cut off one of the palms of others in Baishui Village, and the Shao Dong family was overjoyed when he heard about it, and on a whim, he wanted to go to Baishui Village to pick up Changyu and teach him to learn literature and martial arts." Silver Moon glanced at the opening room.
"No, no. My nephew can be disciplined by my mother and sister-in-law, and he will be blind to the room. Lan Ping put down the back basket, took out a withered hemp vine and peeled out a hemp worm, "My sister-in-law said that she always learns elm head, and she has no intention of studying, and rotten wood cannot be carved." β
"Lan Ping, it's not right for you to say that, Lao Xue is your own nephew. When I become an adult, I will make a great difference, and I will not be wrong. Kai Mu smiled.
"Strange goods?" Lan Ping asked.
"Pretty much." Kai Room nodded slightly.
"It doesn't matter if you think you are Lu Buwei, but Lao Xue is not a proton alien of the Qin State, and it is not worth your investment, it is better to train your own son Rong Sen well, and it is better to be promoted in the future." Lan Ping poured a basin of cold water on the Qi room, "Emperor Wu Zetian of the Great Zhou Dynasty once wanted to establish Wu Sansi as the heir to the throne, but he didn't change it, how could there be a nephew who enshrined his aunt's tablet in the temple?" β
"Everybody knows that. Although I can't learn literature, I can still practice martial arts, right? "Kai Room insisted on not giving in.
"You are not dead in the Yellow River, stubborn. If you have to learn from my family, if you have any worries in the future, don't tell me that you regret it. Lan Ping threw the peeled vines to the ground, holding a few white and chubby and still wriggling vine worms (scientific name kudzu root worms) in his palm.
"If you don't agree, wait two years." Kai Mu smiled.
"Not even for twenty years, unless I'm gone, no one will stop you." Lan held his breath and puffed.
"Young owner, the matter of adopting a child must be carefully considered, maybe it is better to ask for the father's intentions." Silver Moon came out to play the round.
"This little thing, don't bother his old man. Lan Ping insisted on opposing it, and I couldn't do it knowing that I couldn't do it. Kai Room waved his hand.
"Even if you know each other, I don't care about you anymore, I have to go get lunch." Lan Ping carried the basket on his back and left the martial arts training ground without looking back.
Qibao, the housekeeper who had been standing without speaking, frowned when he saw the second young grandmother leaving: "Shaodong, I heard that the Gong family is already so poor, if you don't take Lao Xue over, I'm afraid that the best time for him to learn martial arts will be delayed." β
"Housekeeper, I only have worked hard for you, send some money and food to the Gong family every other month, and by the way, inquire about the situation of Changyu." The opening room put away the armor-piercing silver spear and said to the butler.
"Yes, Shao Dong, I'll do it." The butler replied in a cool voice.
"Housekeeper, when you get to Gong's house, remember to greet my mother-in-law and sister-in-law." Kai Room added.
"Okay, young owner, is there anything else you want to order?"
"Bring another saber and give it to Chang Yu, let him practice more basic skills at home, and when the time comes, I will pick him up."
"Then I'm leaving."
"Don't worry, after lunch, you can ride my horse, you can save some time back and forth."
"Thank you, young owner." β¦β¦
Half an hour later, while everyone was eating in the hall, the old man Bisheng drank a glass of wine and said with a red face: "I had a very strange dream last night......
"Dad, let's hear it." The opening room filled the old man with wine.
"Still don't talk about it, that dream is terrible." The old man shook his head.
"Dad, dreams are the opposite, what can't be said." Lan Ping on the opposite side sandwiched a pair of duck livers and put them in the old man's bowl, "Is it related to old learning?" β
"I don't know." The old man gave the duck liver to his wife Xiao Shi, pointed to the recliner not far away, and began to talk about the dream, "In the dream, Wen Jing and I went hunting in Tiekeng Mountain, chasing a yellow-haired tiger, and we couldn't reach it for most of the day. The tiger ran very fast and soon disappeared, and then I went home and fell asleep in a daze......"
"Dad, what happened to the tiger?" Lan Ping's interest came.
"Lan Ping, still don't talk about it. It scares you when you say it. "The old man is playing tricks.
"What's so scary about tigers." Lan Ping said with a smile.
"In the middle of the night, I opened the door, and I was talking about a dream, and my feet fell in this room, and oh my God, the big tiger was lying on my back in my chair, with its limbs spread out, and its mouth was grinning and snoring, and the sound was deafening. I can't help but be horrified, the tiger comes in the house, and the big thing is not good! I wanted to go and get the tiger fork and fork the tiger, and then someone stood behind me and pulled my clothes hard, and I looked back and saw that it was your sister-in-law! She shook her head incessantly, did not speak, and disappeared in an instant. I turned my head to look at the chair again, and the tiger was gone......" The old man patted his heart.
"When I woke up, my heart was pounding, and I didn't sleep until dawn. Originally, I was doing a batch of leather goods business in Wuyou County, but I rushed back early in the morning after changing hands, and I thought that there would be a distinguished guest at home today......"
"Dad, the tiger came down from the mountains, didn't you?" Kaimuro asked.
"That's right, Downhill Tiger." The old man nodded.
"Dad, actually, I had the same dream as you." They all woke up in fright, but the tiger in my dream turned into a human form, and I couldn't see it clearly. Qi Room smiled slightly, "Could the tiger be the nephew of the Gong family?" β
"I don't know." The old man picked up his glass and took a sip.
"Dad, the opening room is fooling you, why didn't I hear him mention it?" Lan Ping glanced at Qi Room, in her opinion, Qi Room is the kind of person who is also crowded, "He wants to bring Chang Yu into my house to support him and find a suitable excuse." β
"Oh, I see. Your father, I'm not an unreasonable person, Chang Yu stayed in the Gong family, no one took care of the house, and he couldn't become a climate, so it would be very good for him to take over the old Zhu family. The old man smiled.
"Dad, do you think so?" Lan Ping said.
"Hmm. I also forgot a small detail, when I was hunting with your brother in my dream, the yellow-haired tiger still carried four smaller tigers, I think in a few years, I will definitely add three grandchildren......" The old man Bisheng smiled.
"Dad, I haven't had a child for several years, and it's also Sister Yinyue's business to have a child......" Lan Ping said embarrassedly.
"Sister Lanping, you are younger than me, you should be born right." Yinyue squinted and looked at Lan Ping with a smile.
"It's possible for both of you." Xiao's mother-in-law put down her chopsticks, walked to the shrine, burned a wad of paper money, held incense in her hand, and chanted words in her mouth, "Ancestor master, bless my family to prosper and pros......per."
Xiao Shi has not finished reading, Gong Liu and Chang Yu appeared at the door, Chang Yu was holding a big gray rabbit in his hand, and a machete was diagonally carried on his back, which was about the same size as Gong Liu.
He was a frequent visitor to the Zhujia compound, and he didn't care if he was unfamiliar, he ran to the hall and saluted politely to the people who were eating: "Grandpa, grandma, uncle...... The younger generation Changyu greets you. This is the hare I caught in the mountains last night, and I ask Shibo to take it. β
"Oops, they've grown so tall!" The old man was the first to get up and leave his seat, took Chang Yu's hand and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" β
"Hmm. My mother didn't eat either. Gong Changyu looked back at the walled gate.
"Gong Liu, please come inβ" Xiao's mother-in-law plugged in the incense and walked straight out of the patio.
