On this day, Wang Chong was packing his bags in Xiaozhuzhuang, preparing to leave for the north the next day and return to Tokyo.

After all, my sister-in-law, my niece, and my nephew, who is not yet a year old, are now in Tokyo.

Gu Er has been living in Xiaozhuzhuang with Wang Chong for the past few days, and he has been pulling Wang Chong to learn martial arts every day, although it is not as rapid as at the beginning, but under Wang Chong's strong pressure, Gu Er's martial arts are still slowly improving.

However, the improvement is very limited, with Gu Er's current level, if it is not a life-and-death battle, if you want to improve, it will be too difficult and too difficult.

Gu Er persuaded: "Why are you in such a hurry, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, why not wait for Chinese New Year's Eve before leaving?"

"Why do you look like such a little daughter, this is not the Zhonghuai I know!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"Didn't I want to learn more from you and let you point more to me!" Gu Er said bluntly.

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "When you return to Tokyo, we still have a lot of time to talk."

"That is ······" Before Gu Er finished speaking, Lao Yu led Changbai and Minglan in.

"Why is the sixth sister here?" Now Minglan has long since returned to normal, and with the safety of her biological mother and younger brother, her mood has gradually improved.

"I heard that the second brother said that Brother Wang Chong is going back to Tokyo?" Minglan asked.

Wang Zhong said, "Yes, I will leave early tomorrow morning!"

"Minglan herself took a pair of folded knee pads in her hands, walked to Wang Zhong with both hands, and said: "This is the knee pads embroidered by my little lady herself, my little lady said that the grace of saving her life is beyond retribution, so I can only send this pair of knee pads embroidered by my own hand by my little lady, talk about my heart, and hope that Brother Wang Chong will not dislike it!"

Wang Zhong took the knee pad, looked at the delicate pattern on it, and said with a smile: "I like this knee pad very much, thank you for me, little lady!"

"This is going to Tokyo, the mountains are high and the road is far away, Minglan wishes Brother Wang Chong a safe and safe journey, and returns to Tokyo smoothly!" Today's Minglan is only eight years old, and although she is smart, her experience and knowledge are very limited.

"Chengliu sister Jiyan!" Wang Zhong said, "Since you are here, let's stay and eat together before leaving!"

The frozen mutton is sliced into thin slices, and the good pork belly is also cut into thin slices, as well as winter bamboo shoots, cabbage, radish, rape, soaked fungus, fragrant orphan and many other vegetables.

The dipping sauce was prepared by Wang Zhong himself, and the bottom of the pot was also fried by Wang Chong himself, although there was no chili pepper, but it also had a unique flavor.

Minglan ate hot pot for the first time, and was captured by the food, all the unpleasantness seemed to be cured by this hot pot, and when she left with Changbai, her cute little face was full of smiles.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Chong took Wang Erxi and Yu Chuer, only carrying a simple bag, carrying a simple knife, hanging a whistle stick, and quickly rode north.

The road is difficult to travel in winter, especially after entering the border of Gyeonggi, the speed is getting slower and slower, fortunately, there are no bandits and bandits on the road who can't open the pot for the New Year, and the prepared knives are not used, and the three of them live in the post station all the way, which is also smooth, but it still took half a month for Wang Chong and the three to return to Bianliang.

There are only a few days left before the Shangyuan Festival.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Wang Chong should go back to Shangya.

This trip to Yangzhou, one is to change the fate of Yi Minglan and his biological mother and the unborn younger brother, the second is to cooperate with Sheng Wei, and the third is to see the current situation of Xiaozhuzhuang and the village middle school with their own eyes, so as not to be given to the lake.

In general, the three things are done well, especially the school, Wang Chong's deeds of the champion of high school have already been transmitted back to Yangzhou, and Baishui Village has become a star village in Yangzhou Prefecture.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, there is Wang Chong, the new champion, not to mention ten miles and eight towns, that is, many rich and noble families in the city are vying to send their dolls to Baishui Academy to study, hoping that their children will be touched by the fairy spirit of the champion and come back with a reputation in the future.

Yangzhou

In the land of the two Huai, the most important thing is the rich.

Even several wealthy families in the city rushed to contribute money and efforts to help Baishui Academy repair and expand.

Even many villagers around Baishui Village have the idea of donating their land and seeking the blessing of Xiaozhuzhuang.

On the Zhuangzi outside Bianliang City, looking at the long time since it had already grown, it was already very cute, and Brother Xu, who was rolling around on the kang, Wang Chong's face also showed a long-lost smile.

Seeing that it was almost the Shangyuan Festival, Wang Chong took his sister-in-law and Sister Qian's mother and daughter into the city one day in advance······

Sister Qian didn't close her mouth all night, and Brother Xu, who was in Wang Li's arms, also giggled happily all night.

After the Shangyuan Festival, a few days later, a bad news suddenly came out of the palace, the youngest son of the official family, and the only prince, died young.

Suddenly, the entire Bianjing City was shrouded in a thick layer of mourning.

From the Chinese military officials of the DPRK to the peddlers and pawns, without exception.

is still benevolent in the official family, although his son died, but he couldn't bear to disturb the people, and made a decree, the people of the people still married, and the officials also changed from day to day.

However, the court meeting after the beginning of spring was still delayed.

The time soon came to February of the fourth year of Jiayou, when the spring flowers were blooming, Sheng Hong's family took a boat at Yangzhou Wharf and went north to Bianliang, Tokyo.

Only Minglan 's biological mother, Wei Xiaoniang, was left, and the mansion of the Sheng family was also given to Wang Chong by Sheng Hong, and the title deed should be handed over to Wang Chong after returning to Tokyo.

In addition to Wei Xiaoniang, Mrs. Sheng also specially asked Mama Fang to find a group of people from Zhuangzi to take care of Wei Xiaoniang, and also asked Wang Ruofu to find Wei Xiaoniang's sister Wei Niangzi before leaving, and asked her to accompany Wei Xiaoniang to take care of her.

Wang Zhong got the specific day when Sheng Hong's family arrived, and specially asked for leave to go to the dock to greet him.

The Sheng family moved to Tokyo with his family, Sheng Hong is a civil official, and he prides himself on being a clear stream, so naturally he is not too public, and the belongings of the three or four boats are sent to Tokyo in advance.

"Zihou! Over here!" Seeing Wang Chong, Gu Er was very happy, and immediately waved at Wang Chong.

Changbai was also very happy, with a smile on his face, and also waved at the king.

Wang Chong naturally saw them earlier, and was already about to walk up to them with someone.

I met Mrs. Sheng, gave Sheng Hong and the Wang family a courtesy, and greeted the younger brothers and sisters of the Sheng family.

Minglan who had been by Mrs. Sheng's side, with two small mustaches, turned her head to look at Wang Chong, who was chatting happily with her second brother next to her, with a smile on her face, and her clear eyes were filled with gratitude and curiosity.

"Zihou, I have some experience in the past few months, I will come to look for you tomorrow, we must have a good exchange."

Wang Chong smiled dumbly, but he didn't have the slightest reluctance, and arched his hand: "Then I'm in Sweet Water Lane, waiting for Zhong Huai!"

"Second brother!" As soon as Wang Chong's words fell, a crisp child's voice came from the avenue on the edge of the dock.

In front of a rather luxurious carriage, there stood a woman dressed in plain brocade, only a little powder, but with a luxurious atmosphere, and the woman was holding a little Langjun who was about the same age as Changfeng and had a face like a crown of jade.

The one who shouted at this side was that little Langjun.

"It's my mother and third brother, two, I'll go first, we'll meet another day!"

"See you another day!" The three of them said goodbye, and Gu Er ran over with his bags.

The next day, Sweetwater Lane, Wang's house.

Early in the morning, Gu Er and Changbai came over one after another, Gu Er came very early, just in time for Wang Chong to practice knives in the courtyard, even if he pulled Wang Chong to learn, he would have to lose Wang Reappearance Now all kinds of national arts have entered the realm, otherwise, I am afraid that Gu Er will have a blue nose and swollen face.

Being abused by Wang Zhong again, Gu Er was lying on his back on the ground paved with blue bricks, his chest and abdomen were constantly rising and falling, panting heavily, and his face and forehead were full

It is a bead of sweat the size of a bean.

"The blade is an extension of the siblings, the martial arts are endless, although your talent is good, there is still a long way to go!"

Gu Er's martial arts are actually really not bad, and his comprehensive strength can be at least at the level of level three, this is because Gu Er is young and his body has not yet fully grown.

"I really don't know how you practice your martial arts, obviously not much older than me, but your strength is boundless! I'm afraid that even my father is no match for you!" Gu Er said with emotion, looking at Wang Chong, he felt frustrated for the first time.

Gu Er has always been a very arrogant person, in the past, when he was in Tokyo, there were few children of Tokyo's anointed beams who could be looked at by Gu Er, let alone ashamed of himself, even when he met the talented Changbai, he was just sympathetic to each other and became a confidant.

Only Wang Chong, the eighteen-year-old champion, is excellent in martial arts and medical skills, which made Gu Er be crushed in all directions in front of his peers for the first time, giving birth to a sense of powerlessness.

Whether it is Wang Chong's miraculous skills, life and death, flesh and bones, or the vast knowledge and martial arts like a sea of smoke and dust, all make Gu Ersheng feel frustrated beyond his reach.

Wang Zhong smiled and did not answer.

Gu Er looked at Wang Chong, who was calm and calm, and couldn't help but sigh, but he, Gu Er, was not a person who would easily admit defeat, since he was not as good as Wang Zhong now, then wait a few more years.

Gu Er is a person who can learn something as soon as he is young, and he is a person who is good at training, but at the age of fifteen, he has been trained to perfection in martial arts, and he has been trained to perfection, and he has more than ten idle men, Gu Er does not pay attention to it, if he waits for a few years, he is fully adult, and his body has developed to the peak, that is, Zhao Zilong of Changshan, on the slope of Changsaka, ten thousand troops enter and exit from seven in and out, and it is not impossible to enter the realm of no one.

Looking at Wang Chong, Gu Er secretly made up his mind in his heart that from now on, he must study hard, study hard, and one day, catch up with Wang Chong, or even surpass him······

Gu Er, this guy came early in the morning, didn't even eat breakfast, and after a simple wash in the guest room, he accompanied Wang Chong to have breakfast for a while, and Changbai also came.

"Zhonghuai?" Seeing Gu Er, Changbai was also surprised, and then reacted, guessing that this guy must have come to Wang Zhong to learn martial arts.

"Zecheng, you're late!" Gu Er said with a smile.

"There was a delay before leaving!" Changbai took a brocade box from the hand of the sweat cow and handed it to Wang Chong: "This is what my father specially asked me to teach Zihou!"

"What's that?" Gu Er next to him was even more curious.

Wang Chong didn't hide the meaning of tucking it, and directly opened the brocade box in front of the two, and there was a stack of deeds inside.

Changbai explained: "This is the deed and title deed of the original house of my family in Yangzhou, as well as the deed and title deed of Wangjiang Building, before leaving Yangzhou, my father has changed the name of the head of the household to Zihou!"

"Thanks to Zihou this time, Wei Xiaoniang and my seventh brother can be safe and sound, my father said, the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid, these things, only talk about the heart, I hope Zihou does not want to refuse."

Wang Chong said: "The elder gave it, I don't dare to say goodbye, since it was given by my uncle, then I will accept it with a cheeky face!"

"And what's going on with Shichiro now?"

Changbai said, "With my grandmother taking care of me, everything is fine with my seventh brother."

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "That's good, as long as the body is okay, and the healthy ones are better than anything else!"

"One more thing!" Changbai said again.

"What?"

Changbai said: "It's my sixth sister and seventh brother's biological mother, Wei Xiaoniang, who is still living in this house in Yangzhou for the time being, and my grandmother sent someone to take care of it······

"Hey! What's this, this house belongs to the Sheng family, and besides, Wei Xiaoniang's vitality is greatly damaged now, her body has not yet recovered, it is not easy to move, and she should live there!"

"Thank you for your understanding!" Changbai bowed his hand and said very sincerely.

"It's me who should thank my uncle and Zecheng!" Wang Chonglang laughed.

"You're not an outsider, so don't thank you two here!" Gu Er next to him suddenly spoke.

Wang Zhong took a three-day vacation, just to get together with the two, and now it is early spring, everything is recovering, Gu Er is a native of Tokyo, naturally the host, even if the two are invited to travel, travel to Tokyo together.

In early spring, it is the season when the talented ladies and ladies travel, and the rows of horse-drawn carriages invariably flock to the outside of the city.

The scenery along the way is not much different from Yangzhou, but the prosperity is far better than Yangzhou.

I am not as good as the Ming and Qing dynasties, although the same importance is attached to the name, but the women are not as harsh as the Ming and Qing dynasties, between the fields and meadows, the first plum blossom forest, everywhere you can see the ladies who travel.

On the bank of Jinming Pond, the grass has just emerged, and some people have begun to hold polo clubs, noble families, princes and nobles, children of families, everyone is beautiful, and it is very lively.

Although Gu Er is notorious in Tokyo, he is very popular among those anointed children.

That night, Gu Er first led the two of them to eat wine in Fanlou, and after tasting the food of Fanlou, he took the two of them to visit the night market······

It's a pity that Wang Chong only took three days off, and Changbai was about to go home to study.

Sweet Water Lane, Wang Chong's house.

The three of them gathered in the pavilion in the courtyard, with rice wine warm on the stove, a layer of meat brushed on the iron plate, and freshly cut mutton roasted.

"How fast does time fly?" Gu Er sat very casually, propped up with one hand back, put the other hand on his knees, leaned back slightly, and said with emotion.

Changbai also felt it: "For example, the morning dew, the past day is bitter!"

"Life is short, there is a way that an inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time, we have been waiting for a few days, and it is time to correct our mentality and put it on business."

"An inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time?" Gu Er was a little stunned and muttered repeatedly.

"Not bad!" Changbai nodded, with a solemn expression: "Now that the frontier is not peaceful, Yanyun has not recovered, we men, we should study hard and concentrate on martial arts, how can we be drunk and sensual."

Gu Er's expression also became serious, he straightened his sitting posture, and said to the two, "It's Gu Er's wandering!"

Wang Chong and Changbai naturally don't mind, they have a similar temperament and the same aspirations, they are like-minded people, and they don't care about these details.

Changbai said: "Zhuang Xuexue, who mentioned to Zhong Huai in Yangzhou last time, will officially start classes tomorrow, Zhong Huai is interested in studying with me under Zhuang Xuexue?"

Gu Er wanted to agree, but before the words came out, he remembered his temperament, but he shook his head with a wry smile: "Forget it, Tokyo is prosperous, there are too many temptations, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist the temptation."

"Nakae wants to leave Tokyo?" Changbai asked in surprise.

Gu Er nodded and said, "With my temperament, if I am in this prosperous place, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand all kinds of temptations, it is better to find a quiet and secluded place, study hard, and temper my martial arts."

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Wang Chong, with a bit of eager fighting intent in his eyes.

Today's Gu Er, just like the young knight who first came out of the rivers and lakes, he met the mountains, and Wang Zhong is the mountain that made Gu Er see that he was a genius and thought he was the first in the world, but in fact, he slapped Gu Er hard.

Let Gu Er realize that his once arrogant self is just a frog sitting in a well and watching the sky, the world is crowded, there are so many talents, just a trip to Yangzhou, a long cypress has already surprised Gu Er, not to mention that there is a Wang Chong.

In addition to his background, the rest are all Wang Zhong who makes him unreachable.

Gu Er was very fortunate that he could meet a friend like Wang Chong, but at the same time he refused to admit defeat.

It is necessary to know that when he was young, Ling Yunzhi was once the first class in the world.

Since I, Gu Er, am fortunate to be able to come to this world for a while, how can I let the prince be beautiful alone.

If you don't have the prince, I'm afraid that you will have to hesitate for a long time before you make a decision!

Gu Er couldn't help but think in his heart.

"Zhong Huai can think like this, it seems that he has made up his mind?" Wang Chongdao.

Gu Er said, "My generation of boys,

If you can't serve the country and make meritorious contributions, won't you come to this world for nothing?"

"Have you figured out where to go?" Changbai asked.

Gu Er thought for a while and said, "I heard that the White Deer Cave Academy is a rare and quiet place, and the mountain chief, the masters and teachers in the academy are all talented people, so I plan to go to the White Deer Cave Academy to have a look."

Changbai said: "My father also admires the White Deer Cave Academy, the mountain chief Chongshan is a great Confucian, but the White Deer Cave Academy is far away in Jiangzhou, is it ······?"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Er raising his hand: "Wouldn't it be right to be far away!"

Chang Bai was silent.

Wang Zhong picked up his glass and asked, "When are you leaving?"

After Gu Er was silent for a moment, he also picked up his wine glass and said, "Tomorrow!"

"In such a hurry? You've only been back in Tokyo for a few days!" Cheung Pak Road.

"The situation does not treat people, and the hair must be silky!" Gu Er replied with a poem by Li Bai.

Wang Chong said: "I will use this wine to practice for Zhonghuai!"

"Have a good journey, on the day Zhong Huai succeeds in his studies, the two of us will drink for Zhong Huai!"

Gu Er said in a loud voice, "!"

"!"

······

Early the next morning, Gu Er boarded the ship at Yangzhou Wharf and went south, Wang Chong went to the Ya, only Changbai took the little maid to see each other, the two just said goodbye, Gu Er was about to get on the boat, and suddenly there was a somewhat familiar voice in the distance.

"Second Master Gu!"

"Second Master Gu!"

「·······」

A few people followed the prestige, and saw that Wang Chong's elder followed Yu Chuer, and was rushing all the way to this side.

"Second Master Gu, this is... My family... My family... The third master ordered me to give it to my son!" Yu Chuer, who was out of breath, took out two books in his arms, bowed down and handed them to Gu Er.

"Thank you for me!" Gu Er took the book and looked at Yu Chuer, who was panting and sweating profusely, with some feelings.

Yu Chuer said, "My third master also asked me to bring a message to my son!"

"What?"

"The third master said, we are all mortals with the naked eye, we don't have the ability to see the fire, what we see on weekdays is just what others want us to see, what is the truth of the matter, who can say clearly?"

Not to mention Gu Er, even Changbai was a little confused and confused.

But the two are familiar with Wang Chong, and they know Wang Chong's temperament well, and they are by no means unprovoked losers, especially Changbai, who intersected with Wang Chong when he was young, and has been around for several years, and knows Wang Chong better.

But because of this, the two became more and more confused.

Wang Chong has always been the kind of person who has something to say, in front of his friends, he never hides it, so he makes a fool of himself, but this time, Wang Chong didn't say these words to Gu Er when he practiced them yesterday, but now he asked his cronies around him to spread the word, and the key thing he said was still cloudy and foggy, which made people scratch their heads.

"That's all? Nothing else?" Gu Er asked puzzled.

Yu Chuer said respectfully: "The third master also said: The son is far away from the mountains and rivers, and the return date is undecided.

"Gone?"

"It's gone!"

"Sure?"

"Sure!"

Looking at Yu Chuer, who had a serious face, Gu Er and Changbai glanced at each other, and they all saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" Gu Er couldn't help but ask Changbai.

Changbai shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

"That's it!" Gu Er is not the one who has to get to the bottom of it: "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, maybe the time has not come, I can't understand Zihou's words yet!"

Changbai didn't know what to say.

Gu Er arched his hand and said, "Treasure!"

"Precious!" Changbai also arched his hand, with a faint look of reluctance on his face, and said, "Zihou and I are waiting for you to come back in Tokyo!"

Gu Er smiled and said, "You and I will participate in the exam together!"

Changbai nodded, and said with a firm face, "Participate together!"

"Gone!" Gu Er turned around and strode away, not forgetting to wave his hand and say goodbye to Changbai.

Looking at this friend who has only known each other for a few months, but is the most compatible friend of himself except Wang Chong, watching the big ship sail and gradually moving away, looking at the water and sky, the waves are shining, watching the big ship gradually drift away, watching Gu Er on the deck getting smaller and smaller, for a while, Changbai's heart was mixed.

Changbai suddenly understood why poets such as Li Taibai and Wang Majie were able to write such popular verses.

In addition to their own outstanding literary brilliance, they are also inseparable from the sour feeling of parting that they have experienced and penetrated into their hearts.

It is precisely because of the feeling that it is so expressive and moving.

The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless, only the Yangtze River skyline is seen!

Looking at the smaller and smaller boat, looking at Gu Er, who had turned into a black spot on the boat, Changbai couldn't help but think of the two poems of the previous dynasty Gao Dafu:

Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you!

At the same time, thinking of the heroic words and ambitions of the three of them, I couldn't help but have a firm sense in my heart, which turned into a rolling tide of power, filling the body and mind.
