Chapter 32: Return to the Mei Mansion
Although the dragon horse that Mei Yanhuan lent to Fang Shuo had good foot strength and could travel eighty miles a day, the carriage that Yang's mother and daughter were sitting in was too slow.
However, fortunately, Surabaya is not far from Tai'an, and this way down, when they arrived in Shen two days later, Fang Shuo and his party arrived outside Meifu.
The housekeeper in the mansion greeted him early, and as soon as he gave a salute, he took the reins from Fang Shuo's hand and said respectfully: "Can Fang Gongzi have fun all the way?" The eldest prince has already explained, please go back to the room to rest first, and the dinner will be good immediately. ”
Fang Shuo also saluted: "The old gentleman doesn't have to be polite, Mei Gongzi is kind to invite him, and Fang Shuo doesn't dare to disobey." Mr. Lao Fu told him that he would go to the banquet in the future. ”
The old butler lowered his body slightly and said with a smile: "Young Master Fang is polite, this is all within the villain's responsibility." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old housekeeper looked at the Yang mother and daughter next to the carriage in the back, and asked, "Young Master Fang, I don't know who these two are?" ”
"I was about to talk to the old gentleman in detail, they were the wife and daughter of a man surnamed Deng who met me on the road, he died for some reason, for the sake of the two of them, after thinking about it, I still think that it is most suitable to be placed in Meifu. I implore the old gentleman to tell Mr. Mei and hope that he will take him in, Fang Shuo is grateful. Fang Shuo pleaded.
"It's okay, let's go into the house and stay. Fang Gongzi is kind and benevolent, not to mention that the old man admires him a lot, presumably, the eldest prince will not object, although he can rest assured. The old butler said with a smile.
"Fang Shuo, thank you, old man." Fang Shuo saluted again.
The old housekeeper thanked him and said to the Yang mother and daughter, "Two, please follow the old man into the house." ”
The big stone in her heart was finally put down, and Yang Juan hurriedly bowed her head and thanked: "Yang Juan, thank you for taking me in." ”
Yang Ruoyan also followed her mother and thanked: "Thank you, old man." ”
"No need to be polite, come into the house with me." The old butler stretched out his hand and gestured.
Fang Shuo advanced to the Mei Mansion, and the Yang mother and daughter also followed the old housekeeper into the mansion.
The old housekeeper took the Yang family mother and daughter to the inner courtyard, and Fang Shuo went straight to the house where He Yan had lived.
Seeing the room that had been split in two by the True Martial Dao Sword from a distance, Fang Shuo was suddenly startled, thinking that something had happened to He Yan.
He hurriedly found a maid in the house and asked about He Yan's current situation.
The maid replied softly: "I don't know what happened to He Gongzi's house, it suddenly became like this, and the eldest prince arranged another room for He Gongzi to live in." At this time, He Gongzi should be practicing martial arts in the East Garden. He's been there for the past few days. ”
"I'm sorry to tell me." Fang Shuo raised his hand and saluted.
The maidservant bowed her head in return and then left.
"Could it be that He Yan has already learned the sword trick on the "Shenxiao Book"? How can it be so powerful? Fang Shuo muttered.
Touching his chin, Fang Shuo decided to go to the East Garden to see He Yan.
Before he could enter, more than a dozen steps away from the garden, Fang Shuo heard He Yan's random screams.
"What's this nerd called?" Hearing this, Fang Shuo laughed softly and scolded.
As soon as Fang Shuo entered the garden, he knew that He Yan was fighting with Jian Qingyan.
In fact, it is better to say that it is a fight, but it is better to say that it is a sparring partner.
No matter how He Yan punches or kicks, Jian Qingyan is just blindly defending, not attacking.
At this time, He Yan first kicked out with his left leg, and Jian Qingyan easily blocked it with only his right arm. After three kicks, He Yan withdrew his left leg, kicked the ground with both feet, jumped up and straightened his right leg and kicked at Jian Qingyan's face. This time, Jian Qingyan hit He Yan's kick with another punch.
Only a dull sound was heard, and He Yan flew back again, but this time, He Yan didn't fall to the ground after standing unsteady like last time, he stood firmly on the ground, and continued to make moves to fight back.
"Brother He, you have made a lot of progress this time." Jane grinned softly and complimented.
"Where, where, it's all Brother Jane's men who show mercy, otherwise, I won't end well." He Yan also smiled.
Seeing that He Yan had such skills, Fang Shuo was a little surprised, is this still the son of the He family in Lingquan?
"Okay, Lao He, you really have two hits. It is said that Shibei should be impressed in three days, and now, with such skills, it seems that I should change my eyes. Fang Shuo looked very happy.
Hearing Fang Shuo's voice, He Yan turned around, and sure enough, he saw him standing behind him.
He Yan was overjoyed all of a sudden, and pointed at Fang Shuo and said, "Old Fang, you're back." ”
"What are you talking about, of course I'm coming back." Fang Shuo squeezed his eyes and said.
"Hey, I haven't been idle in the past few days when you've been away. How's that, did it surprise you? He Yan said proudly.
"I was really taken aback. However, don't be complacent, you kid, with your current realm, that's still far from it. Fang Shuo scolded with a smile.
"I still have a trick, don't blink." He Yan smiled evilly.
took out the True Martial Arts Sword from the Qiankun bag, He Yan put the sword on his chest with his right hand, pointed two fingers with his left hand, wiped the sword body upward, and then raised the sword with his right hand over the top, and then pinched the sword with his left hand.
He Yan shouted at Fang Shuo and said, "Old Fang, look at the sword." ”
Gripping the hilt of the sword, He Yan slashed towards Fang Shuo with a sword.
In an instant, the cold light flashed, and if there was a dragon chant in front of He Yan, the fierce sword qi on the True Martial Dao Sword erupted and slashed towards Fang Shuo in the wind.
Seeing He Yan doing it to himself, Fang Shuo suddenly changed color and scolded: "You are crazy, what are you doing." ”
While he was scolding, his left hand quickly condensed the mountain character seal, and pushed it in front of him to resist He Yan's sword move.
The three of them only heard a "buzzing" sound, as if someone had picked up a long knife and slashed hard at the face of the cliff.
Seeing that the Kunshan mark in front of him was almost chopped open by He Yan's sword, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on Fang Shuo's forehead.
"Brother He, your sword makes it beautiful." Jian Qingyan was still praising He Yan on the side.
Fang Shuo had a cold face and said calmly: "This sword drift is not beautiful, I don't know." All I knew was that I was going to die an ugly death. ”
He Yan was still in high spirits at this time, and the other party laughed and said, "How about it, old Fang, my trick is okay." ”
Now Shuo couldn't help it, and scolded: "Okay, you ghost, He Yan, your kid's wings are hard, and now you have a long ability, right?" Take the sword I gave you in your hand and strike me dead. Do you know, you're almost going to buy me a coffin. You are amazing after learning a few swordsmanship, come on, let's have a good comparison, and see who sends who to heaven today! ”
Fang Shuo scolded He Yan as he rolled up his sleeves and walked forward, as if he was going to fight with him.
As soon as He Yan saw Fang Shuo's appearance, he immediately coaxed, and ran away with the True Martial Dao Sword.
Jian Qingyan saw He Yan slipping away in a blink of an eye, she was very puzzled, and she also followed, calling He Yan and said, "Hey, Lao He, what are you running." Compare with your brother, and let me open my eyes. Lao He, don't run away. ”
Since He Yan slipped away in embarrassment, Fang Shuo was also discouraged.
However, with only He Yan's cultivation realm, using the True Martial Dao Sword, it would actually have such great power, which made Fang Shuo regret giving the sword to He Yan at this time, he was faintly a little uneasy, and he always felt that something would happen because of this sword.
Although he is the nominal eldest disciple of Xuanyue Mountain, he doesn't know anything about the True Martial Dao Sword, only that it is enshrined in the ancestral hall. Now, I'm afraid only the old man can know seven or eight points.
If you asked the old man, would he have said? As soon as this thought came to him, Fang Shuo quickly shook his head and dispelled it.
Don't think about it, the old man will definitely not say it. He'd say, hell with that.
Thinking like this, Fang Shuo returned to his room.
After a few days away, the house was still spotless, presumably there must have been a maid who cleaned it regularly. Sitting down, pouring a cup of tea to drink, Fang Shuo said to himself: "Alas, I have all gone to Mount Tai, but this mountain character seal has not grown much, it seems that I have run for nothing this time." ”
Turning over the palm of his left hand, Fang Shuo condensed a mountain character print, looked at it carefully, and then remembered what he had encountered during his trip to Mount Tai, he closed his eyes and clenched his palm.
Shensi recalled every inch of land he walked in Mount Tai, every grass plant he saw, put himself in the Mount Tai in his memory, walked slowly, and slowly sketched and restored the panorama of Mount Tai.
From one stone and one tree to the steep peak, Fang Shuo was first immersed in it, and then jumped out of the mountain. Gradually, Taishan became smaller and smaller, and Fang Shuo's figure became taller and taller.
In the end, the entire Mount Tai turned into a hill in Fang Shuo's palm.
Mount Tai is the mountain character seal in Fang Shuo's palm, and the mountain character seal is the towering Mount Tai.
Opening his eyes, Fang Shuo opened the palm of his left hand again, and then condensed a mountain character mark. This time, a Mount Tai that had shrunk countless times appeared in Fang Shuo's hand.
"That's kind of a look." Fang Shuo said softly.
Filling the cup with tea, Fang Shuo picked it up and took another sip and exhaled a breath of hot air.
"This pool of muddy water in Qingzhou and Yuzhou, it seems that I have to wade through. Alas, Senior Lu's words are really true, everyone in the world has a common numerology, it is up to you to do things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. Fang Shuo sighed helplessly.
I really don't know what kind of things I will be involved in in the future, thinking of this, Fang Shuo shouted loudly in his heart: "He Yan, if you kid can't marry Mei Yiqing, then in the end, I will have to sing this scene in vain." This time, the transaction was really a loss to my grandmother's house, and I never drank tea again. ”
Thinking of this, there was a knock at the door.
"Young Master Fang, are you in there? My eldest son, please, is waiting in the green lake. Outside the door, a young man asked.
"Got it, I'll go." Fang Shuo responded.
Fang Shuo got up and opened the door, and the little guy outside the door looked at it and said respectfully: "Please come with me." ”
"Then there's Little Brother Lao." Fang Shuo replied.
Following the little brother all the way, after a while, Fang Shuo came to the Green Lake Building.
Mei Yanhuan had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Fang Shuo coming, he got up and saluted: "Brother Fang, I haven't seen you for a few days, this trip to the north, can you gain something?" ”
"I've never been to any famous mountains and monuments before, and this is the first time I've gone up to the mountain. This trip to the north is really an eye-opener. Fang Shuo replied.
After inviting Fang Shuo to take a seat, Mei Yanhuan asked softly, "I don't know, why did Brother Fang bring back the two guests?" ”
"It's not a secret, it's a bad fate. In the next place, it was only in order to end this bad fate that the Yang mother and daughter were brought back. I hope Mei Gongzi can take them in. Fang Shuo said truthfully.
At this time, Fang Shuo told Mei Yanhuan what had happened.
Knowing the ins and outs of this matter, Mei Yanhuan agreed: "This is a trivial matter. It's just that I don't know, how does Brother Fang plan to help them, does he want Yan Huan to find a home for them? ”
Fang Shuo waved his hand and said, "Everything depends on the fate, it's up to them to decide." Brother Mei just needs to keep them as a maid in the mansion. ”
Mei Yanhuan nodded and agreed: "Brother Fang is reasonable, leave this matter to me." Brother Fang, please taste tea. ”
After drinking a cup, Fang Shuo praised: "It's really good tea." ”
"If Brother Fang likes it, pick up a few packs, and I'll have someone send them to you." Mei Yanhuan said.
"In this way, I really thank Brother Mei for his kindness. By the way, how is the matter of the East China Sea Alliance being prepared now. Although Fang Shuo has little strength, he can still help a little. Fang Shuo said.
