Chapter 21: We Are Joking

Sujia Wangyuan.

At lunchtime, Wang Lianqing and the old man sat on the round table in the lobby and ate lunch, looking at the table full of dishes, Wang Lianqing said that he couldn't raise any appetite, the old man was very attentive to him to put vegetables in the bowl, and introduced that they were all the characteristics of Nanjiang, and invited a good chef to do it, Wang Lianqing was not good at refusing, he tasted it one by one, the taste was okay, looking at Wang Lianqing's appearance, the old man was very happy, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it by himself.

The old man ate a mouthful of food and said to Wang Lianqing, who was eating with a stuffy head: "Xiaoqing, I called you here today because I have something to ask you." ”

Wang Lianqing raised his head and looked at the old man, swallowed the rice in his mouth, and said, "Grandpa, please tell me what you want to ask." ”

The old man nodded and said, "I think you must still be worried about your grandfather's death, although I am entrusted with my deathbed, I want you to make a choice for your future path." After speaking, the old man took the wine in the cup and drank it all.

Wang Lianqing looked at the old man silently, waiting for him to finish the rest of the words.

"Now I give you three choices, if you think clearly, tell me, first, you can spend your life in the Su family, eat and clothe yourself, and enjoy the blessings of the young master of the Su Mansion. Second, you can worship the most famous academy in the capital, and then enter the school, the Su family will support you, and you will shine on the lintel in the future. ”

After finishing speaking, the old man took a bite of food and continued: "Third, you can learn martial arts, wander the rivers and lakes or join the army, and guard my court." As for how to choose, you can tell me if you think about it yourself, and I will arrange it for you, which can be regarded as fulfilling Brother Wang's entrustment that day. ”

Wang Lianqing thought about it seriously, thinking that if he had a martial arts at that time, he would not let that gangster kill him and sit back and wait to be killed.

So only three of him can still see a little hope of revenge, even if he can't take revenge, he can protect himself, not a weak scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, so he didn't think about it anymore, secretly made up his mind, and said to the old man: "Grandpa, I have thought about it, I choose the third, I don't want to be a weak scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, in the face of force, I don't even have a chance to protect myself, I want to practice martial arts." ”

When the old man heard Wang Lianqing's answer, he was not surprised, the man was alive, and revenge would be avenged, and even he agreed with his choice, and said: "In this case, starting tomorrow, you will come to my Wangyuan early, and I will personally pass on your martial arts." ”

"Yes, Grandpa. Wang Lianqing was very excited in his heart, thinking that he would follow the old man and grandfather to practice martial arts in the future, and one day he would avenge his grandfather, he touched the dagger wrapped in coarse cloth in his sleeve, and his face showed perseverance.

After lunch, Wang Lianqing said goodbye to the old man, and went back to Dongyuan alone, thinking about what he just thought, some expectations and inexplicable loss, the old man just said, practicing martial arts is not overnight, in addition to diligence, it also depends on personal qualifications, and personal perception, qualification is extremely important, Wang Lianqing's qualifications are mediocre, even if he learns martial arts, unless there is another chance, it is difficult to get out of the ordinary and enter the sainthood.

Even if he is a little lost, after the wind and waves, nothing will change his beliefs, Wang Lianqing firmly believes that diligence can make up for clumsiness, and kindness and virtue will be repaid.

Thinking about the problem too much, when Wang Lianqing walked through the back garden, he accidentally knocked into the stone masonry on the side of the garden and almost fell, but fortunately reacted in time, at this time he heard a loud and noisy sound coming from someone, it seemed that there was laughter, Wang Lianqing listened to it from the small courtyards between the miscellaneous garden and the West Garden, Wang Lianqing remembered that the housekeeper didn't seem to have taken him to this place at that time, so he was curious and decided to go to see what this place was.

Entering the courtyard, Wang Lianqing looked around, it was just a very ordinary courtyard, although it was no different from the size of the Su family's courtyards, it was not so prosperous, it was even more bleak and cold, and there was nothing unusual.

The ancestral hall in the backyard of Wangyuan is a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter or leave it without the order of the old man, because there is a plaque of the ancestors of the Su family standing inside, and the descendants have to pay respect.

The noise continued, and Wang Lianqing stood outside the hidden secondary door, listening to the conversation inside.

"Su Yuan, you cheap skin, you can't accept it. ”

"Hmph, what about that coward Su Li, why don't you come today, just send you doglegs, it's too cowardly, you want me to give in to you doglegs, I haven't fallen to this point of stealing my life. "I could hear a boy's voice.

"Since your mouth stinks so much and your bones are so hard, I'll beat you until you take it. Call me until he gives in. Hearing the angry voice of the person who spoke before, and then hearing the sound of someone being beaten, Wang Lianqing heard clearly outside the door, just heard a name, he frowned, it was Su Li who wanted to shoot him when they met for the first time, hearing this name made him feel quite uncomfortable, and he could hear their conversation, Su Li didn't come, there were several of his servants inside, Wang Lianqing was strange who was this person called Su Yuan, Wang Lianqing was very curious and wanted to go in and see.

Wang Lianqing pushed open the hidden courtyard door, crossed the threshold of the inner courtyard, and walked in, only to see five people in the corner of the courtyard, four of which Wang Lianqing had seen, it was Su Li's servants, and Wang Lianqing, who was beaten to the ground and was weak and had nosebleeds, had never seen it, and couldn't help but wonder.

Several people heard the sound of pushing the door and looked in the direction of the entrance of the inner courtyard, but they didn't expect that the person who came was Wang Lianqing, and they were not surprised, Su Li's servants stopped, glanced at each other, and then looked at Wang Lianqing.

Wang Lianqing said to a few people: "I happened to pass by here, but I didn't expect Su Yuan to have such a lively place, so I came to take a look, and I will tell the old man when I go back today, and I will bring him to see him one day." ”

When several people heard Wang Lianqing say this, their faces changed, and the servant named Hechun at the head saluted Wang Lianqing and said, "Young Master Qing, I and a few others are joking, young master don't take it seriously." After speaking, he gestured to the other three, and the other three immediately saluted Wang Lianqing.

"Oh, it's just a joke, it looks like I'm thinking too much. ”

"Yes, Young Master Qing. The strong servant named Hechun said with a trembling look.

"Well, if you were playing with him just now, then I'll see him playing with you, come, the one on the earth, get up and play with them. Hearing Wang Lianqing speak like this, the faces of Su Li's servants changed.

The thin man on the ground got up from the ground, wiped his nosebleed with his sleeve, looked at Wang Lianqing with a strange expression, and stood there without moving.

Wang Lianqing looked at him and said, "Don't you dare?"

The little man looked at Wang Lianqing and said, "Who are you?"

Wang Lianqing also asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

Several of Su Li's servants stood there with their heads bowed, not daring to move. The little man looked at the four people in front of him and looked at Wang Lianqing and said, "My name is Su Yuan, what you said just now still counts?"

"Naturally!" Wang Lianqing said.

Su Li's four servants' faces turned pale, and they immediately pleaded with Wang Lianqing: "Young Master Qing, we know that we are wrong, and we will not dare next time." ”

"Didn't you just say that you were joking, stand up for me! Move again, and go back and call the old man to peel your skin." Hearing Wang Lianqing's words, the four of them were silent and didn't dare to move.

Su Yuan walked to the front of them and looked at the four of them with a sneer, now the four of them were slaughtered by others, and they didn't dare to move, and suddenly felt that Su Yuan in front of them was very scary, as if he had seen a ghost, and his face was pale.

Su Yuan said: "You used to bully people in the past, but I didn't expect that one day there would be such retribution, let you feel it too." After speaking, he punched the lower abdomen of Hechun, who was standing at the head, and Hechun fell to the ground in pain, stroked his stomach on the ground, screamed in pain, and then kicked over Hechun again, rolled out two steps, and wailed again and again. The other three people were in a cold sweat on their backs when they saw this, and Su Yuan walked up to the three of them and said, "Raise your head." ”

The three of them looked up at Su Yuan in horror, thinking about when He Shun was beaten just now, and then thinking about this cheap person who was usually bullied by them, they panicked in their hearts. I only heard Su Yuan say: "I am used to bullying people, but now I know that I am afraid of being humiliated." ”

After speaking, he slapped the servant standing in front of him in the face, and slapped it back, only to see that the servant's face instantly appeared with a red slap mark, which seemed to be extremely forceful, and after a while, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of the servant's mouth.

After that, Su Yuan walked to the servant on the right, and slapped him on both sides of his face, and finally the servant was too, and the three of them only felt that their faces were hot, not only in pain, but also in humiliation. After this incident, I felt that this new young master was really terrible, and they were beaten in just a few words, and they still couldn't fight back.

"Oh, it's really bad to beat someone, my hands really hurt!" Su Yuan rubbed his palms and said with a look of remorse.

Seeing that Su Yuan finished venting, Wang Lianqing said to Su Li's attendants: "You three take him away, let's get out together!"

A few people immediately picked up the aching Hechun on the ground and walked out of the courtyard, and when they arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard and were about to go out, they heard Wang Lianqing behind him say: "Wait a minute." ”

Several people stopped, and one of them asked, "What else does Young Master Qing command?"

"Oh, just let you go back and tell your young master, I just happened to pass by here, and found that you were a group of people playing, and I was very interested in watching you play around for a while, next time there is such a fun thing, let him inform me in advance, I love to watch the excitement, you know?"

When several people heard Wang Lianqing's words, they knew that Wang Lianqing was mocking, their faces turned pale, they reported their resignation, and walked away from the courtyard.

Su Yuan bowed to Wang Lianqing and said, "Thank you." ”

Wang Lianqing returned: "You're welcome, goodbye." "Returning the salute and striding away.

When he walked to the courtyard gate, he found Su Yuan following behind, and then Su Yuan asked, "What's your name?"

"Wang Lianqing. ”

"Where can I find you?"

"Dongyuan Qingsi Pavilion. ”

"I'll come to the door another day to thank you. ”

"Waiting for you at any time. ”

After speaking, he walked out of the courtyard gate, out of the outer courtyard, walked through the hall, came to the back garden, and walked to the East Garden.
