Chapter 4: "Family" (2) (3rd Update)
Feeling Pang Shiyuan's overwhelm, his father Pang Zhiyang stepped forward and persuaded: "Madam, it's a great joy that Shiyuan is back, let's not be sad here." How about everyone enter first, and then talk slowly? ”
Zhu Yi sobbed and agreed: "Okay, let's go in first." The group began to walk towards the Pang Mansion, and Zhu Yi accompanied Pang Shiyuan every step of the way.
On the way from the gate to the hall, Pang Shiyuan received a large number of curious glances, and in this curiosity, he also felt all kinds of different feelings. It's just that time is in a hurry, and Pang Shiyuan can't tell for a while.
However, there were two children who caught Pang Shiyuan's attention, one was a girl in her early tens, and the other was a three or four-year-old boy who was led by a maid. The girl's appearance Pang Shiyuan was a little familiar, and after thinking about it, the figure of a cute little girl of five or six years old appeared in his mind. It was the scene of him playing with the little girl, and the joyful scene of the little girl calling his second brother crisply.
Comparing the appearance of the little girl and the girl in front of him, Pang Shiyuan's heart was somewhat understood.
"This should be my sister, Pang Xi. Looks and ages match. But who is that little boy? Could it be that my parents are so powerful, at this age, and gave birth to a younger brother for me? Pang Shiyuan speculated wildly in his heart.
As if sensing Pang Shiyuan's puzzled gaze, his mother Zhu Yi said, "Shiyuan, this is your sister-in-law." You've had the best time before. Xi'er, come and call the second brother. ”
Hearing his mother's call, Pang Xi approached slightly, and whispered in curiosity and a little unfamiliar: "Second brother." ”
Pang Shiyuan didn't have a sister in his previous life, but as a primary school teacher, he was not as helpless as he was in the face of his mother Zhu Yi: "It's a pity!" I'm going to grow into a fair lady. I came back this time with a gift, and I have a copy of yours. ”
Hearing that there was a gift, although Pang Xi's life was not lacking anything, his tone was still a lot kinder: "Thank you, second brother." ”
Watching Pang Shiyuan and Pang Xi interact with the two siblings, Zhu Yi's eyes had tears looming again, but she also knew that this was out of place, so she immediately diverted her attention, took the little boy's hand from the maid, and said to Pang Shiyuan: "Shiyuan, look at it, who is this like?" ”
Listening to his mother's gesture of offering treasures, Pang Shiyuan knew that his previous guess was inaccurate. But the little boy was not of his father's species, but he had the appearance and characteristics of the Pang family, so he thought that he also had an older brother and sister.
Although the place where the eldest sister got married is not far away, it is impossible to leave the child in the Pang family, that is, the elder brother's son: "Is it the eldest brother's son, my eldest nephew?" ”
"Hehe...... father Pang Zhiyang laughed, "It's your eldest brother's son, called energy." ”
"Energy? Pang energy, fat energy! Pang Shiyuan didn't know what his expression was like at this moment, but he knew that it must be a little weird. But who called him a person with memories of his past life, the name of this energy and fat energy really made him laugh a little.
In the end, Pang Shiyuan still couldn't hold back his laughter, and he smiled very happily: "It's a good name." Who took it? ”
Zhu Yi seemed to complain, but in fact, he was proud in his heart: "Besides your eldest brother Shizong, who claims to be rich and rich, who else can there be?" But I also think it's a good name. ”
"Of course it's good. Speaking of big brother, isn't big brother at home? Pang Shiyuan asked about the news of his eldest brother.
Pang Zhiyang said slightly proudly: "Your eldest brother went to participate in the township test." According to him, it is very promising. ”
Hearing this, Pang Shiyuan was also a little surprised: "That's really good." ”
Pang Shiyuan didn't expect to pretend to be a scholar who took the township exam for a while on the way here, and someone would really go to the township exam if he didn't want to return home.
When they arrived at the hall, Pang Shiyuan had a good conversation with his family, and it was time for dinner.
There is no rule of eating and sleeping at the dinner table, father Pang Zhiyang, mother Zhu Yi, sister-in-law Tan Xian, sister Pang Xi, nephew Pang Energy, and Pang Shiyuan himself, the whole family is eating and talking at the same time, and they are happy.
The parents told Pang Shiyuan the story of the family and the changes in the town over the years, and the main topics revolved around the eldest brother Pang Shizong and the eldest nephew Pang Energy, as well as the story of Pang Shiyuan when he was a child.
Sister-in-law Tan Xian is a beautiful lady who doesn't talk much, but every sentence gives people a feeling of spring breeze. Pang Xi also gradually let go of the strange estrangement with Pang Shiyuan, and his speech became lively, and his crisp and lively words always made everyone smile.
As for Pang Energy, he listened with relish most of the time, asking questions if he didn't understand, and occasionally exerting his ability to understand like a stroke of genius, which always caused laughter, and he still didn't know it.
And what Pang Shiyuan said was almost all his interesting stories in Daizong, as well as the importance he received. Of course, people whose parents are so old naturally know that everything in the world cannot be as beautiful as Pang Shiyuan said, but they can also hear that he is indeed doing well in Daizong, and that is enough.
Since they had let Pang Shiyuan embark on the path of a martial artist in the first place, they would have thought that Pang Shiyuan's future life would not be too easy. And this is also the reason why they are particularly concerned about Pang Shiyuan, they are worried about Pang Shiyuan's safety.
This is a world of martial arts, and scholars still have the ability and power to govern countries and localities, but they cannot fully overwhelm martial artists like those ancient dynasties in Pang Shiyuan's previous life. On the contrary, the warriors of this world, especially the warriors in a group, can always demarcate their spheres of influence and govern themselves with their powerful force.
And once their sphere of influence is formed, from the state to the locality, their autonomy will be recognized, and there will be very little interference from other parties except for statutory taxation. It can be said that the spheres of influence of these Jianghu forces are almost independent kingdoms.
Moreover, it is not that a martial artist cannot be a scholar, and a scholar is not necessarily powerless, and there are not a few people who are both civil and military.
It is precisely because of the special humanistic environment of this world that people living in this world know that both culture and martial arts are indispensable, and only by developing both can we truly gain a foothold.
The Pang family took the road of cultural relics at the same time, the eldest son Pang Shizong embarked on the road of literati, and the second son Pang Shiyuan embarked on the road of martial arts. So far, the road of the two sons has been quite smooth.
The eldest son, Pang Shizong, became a talent at a young age, and now he is just twenty years old to participate in the township examination, and he is very likely to be promoted. And once Pang Shizong is promoted, the Pang family will have an official body. Although official status cannot be exempt from taxes, it has more convenience, higher social status and right to speak. If Pang Shizong can still get an official position, it will naturally be even better.
The second son, Pang Shiyuan, has also received great attention in Daizong, and has been recognized as one of the hopes of the next generation and has been cultivated in a focused manner. If it can thrive, the future is also limitless.
On the first day home, the family got along very well. Unconsciously, Pang Shiyuan has identified with his "new" family.
