Chapter Twenty-Eight: Together
Now that he has arrived in Suzhou, the first thing Wu Hongwen did when he got off the boat was naturally to go home and see his parents first. I have been missing for a few days inexplicably, and my parents at home are already anxious, Wu Hongwen wants to go home first to report his safety, so he invites a group of people to sit at home together.
Zhou Jinyu did not agree on a specific meeting place with her cousin and Ouyang Yuting, and after discussing with Yan Jingchen's brothers, she decided to go back with Wu Hongwen first.
Wu Hongwen's home is not as magnificent as the eaves and arches of the official compound, but it is similar to those elegant and quiet gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. Behind the simple and quaint gate, a shadow wall painted with lotus blossom motifs obscures the layout of the house, adding a bit of mystery to people, and they want to get a glimpse of it.
Bypassing the shadow wall, it is the pavilion, platform, building, pavilion, hall, hall, pavilion, corridor. The front yard of the Wu family is divided into three parts, and there is a long corridor on the left and right sides of the hall facing south in the middle, and there are two exquisite and elegant pavilions around the pavilion.
The west side is for his own family, and the east side is for servants. There is an arch on the east and west sides, and the backyard is crossed by a path from the arch. The backyard is the residence of Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu, and there is an independent, secluded small courtyard on the west side of the backyard, which is full of thick plantains, and Wu Hongwen has lived here since the weak crown. There are also several other houses for guests.
Wu Hongwen and his group just entered the house, and happened to bump into the official Liu Da, Liu Da is short in stature and dark in skin, but he is extremely shrewd and capable, and he has been in the Wu family for a long time.
Liu Da saw that Gongzi came back suddenly, with an incredible expression on his face, and at the same time he was also very excited.
Liu Da couldn't believe that it was Wu Hongwen standing in front of him, and said to the people on the side: "Quick! Go and report to the lord and wife, and say that the son is back!"
Wu Hongwen laughed and said, "Hahaha, doesn't Uncle Liu recognize me?"
Liu Dadao: "Oh! Where has the son gone these days, but the master and wife are in a hurry, the wife can't eat all day, and these days send people around to look for you." ”
Liu Da picked up Wu Hongwen's hand and patted it and said, "However, Gongzi came back safely, and that is better than anything else." ”
At this time, Wu Yi and Mrs. Wu hurriedly walked out of the backyard, and in a month's time, Mrs. Wu seemed to be much older, and there seemed to be more gray hair on her sideburns.
Mrs. Wu pulled Wu Hongwen over, looked left and right, and pulled Wu Hongwen very tightly with her hand, for fear that the son in front of her would suddenly disappear again.
Wu Hongwen only then realized that in the month that he disappeared, his mother must have been suffering. 、
Wu Hongwen knelt down to his parents and said: "The child is not filial, so that the father and mother will remember it." ”
Mrs. Wu helped Wu Hongwen up and said, "My son, where have you been these days? ”
Wu Hongwen said: "The child is really indescribable, now the child is no longer running around, honor his parents at home, and let the child slowly talk to his mother in the future." ”
Although Wu Yi was happy in his heart, he was a little angry when he thought that he couldn't sleep well these days, and said: "Hmph, fooling around outside all day, you will be angry with me and your mother sooner or later." ”、
Wu Hongwen hurriedly said: "The child knows that he is wrong, and he will never run around in the future, and he will not let his parents worry about the child anymore." ”
The four beggars who came together heard Wu Hongwen say that they would not run around in the future, and the four of them looked at each other and began to lose their breath.
One of the beggars, who was in his thirties, suddenly knelt down and said, "Helper! ”
Wu Hong's text was expedient, but he didn't expect these beggars to take it seriously, and said helplessly: "Hurry up, I will pick up this burden, and I will never live up to the trust of the old gang leader and all the brothers." ”
Wu Yi was confused when he heard it on the side, and then looked at the people behind his son, there were officers, people who looked like knights, little girls of the Miao nationality, and even beggars, and now they are still helpers.
Although Wu Yi has a big family and a big business, he is always a businessman who wants to live a stable life. Wu Yi looked at these people behind his son, and felt a little uneasy, so he said, "When did you become a helper again?"
Wu Hongwen had to truthfully explain how he met the chess king in Nanjing, was taken captive by the chess king and separated from his friend Zhou Jinyu. He also taught himself how the chess king taught him the 'dog stick method' and the 'eighteen palms of the dragon', and told his father everything about his selection as the new leader of the beggar gang.
Wu Yi was noncommittal after hearing this, but obviously he didn't want Wu Hongwen to really get involved in the disputes in the rivers and lakes. However, with so many guests coming to the house, it would be too lazy not to contact them.
Wu Yi stepped forward and said to everyone: "Heroes, the old man was angry with this rebel and accidentally neglected you, and please forgive me." ”
Zhou Jinyu didn't care about the wound, and hurriedly said: "Where did my uncle say, we bothered us." ”
Wu Yi recognized Zhou Jinyu and came with him all the way from Taiyuan. Along the way, Wu Yi had a good impression of Zhou Jinyu, and felt that Zhou Jinyu was knowledgeable after the door, and now he saw that Zhou Jinyu was also among them, so he was much gentler, and said: "Little brother came from afar, hurry up and go to the house with all the heroes to sit." ”
Zhou Jinyu said: "Many of us suddenly came to visit and disturbed Uncle Wu. ”
Wu Yi's attitude was much better, and he said with a smile: "Hahaha, the little brother is too careful, I, Wu, am actually a hospitable person, and I also left Hongwen's friends who came to report the news to them at home temporarily, that young girl is your sister, right?"
Zhou Jinyu heard that her cousin was also here, and said happily: "I am so grateful, where is she now?"
Wu Yi smiled: "Haha, look at my memory, I forgot to send someone to inform your friends." After speaking, he instructed a maid to inform Yin Yimeng, Ouyang Yuting and the red girl.
The main hall of the Wu family is a typical Jiangnan family furnishing, and the overall layout is fresh and elegant. Wu Yi sat in the middle, and the rest of the people sat on the warm and soft Nanmu chairs on both sides. After a few words of greeting, Ouyang Yuting, Yin Yimeng and the red lady walked in one after another.
Ouyang Yuting said: "The two virtuous brothers are back, and I finally have an explanation." ”
Wu Hongwen said with a smile: "Hahaha, let my brother bother, is my brother still used to living here?"
Ouyang Yuting didn't answer Wu Hongwen's question, what he was most concerned about was what the chess king did when he kidnapped Wu Hongwen, so he asked, "Did the chess king really teach the virtuous brother martial arts?"
Wu Hongwen said: "Exactly! I have officially worshipped his old man as a teacher. ”
Zeng Yingjie interjected: "Hey, now Brother Wu is the leader of the beggar gang, I have seen him make that dog beating stick method with my own eyes, it is so powerful, it is on par with me." ”
Ouyang Yuting just said lightly: "Congratulations so much, Brother Xian." ”
Zeng Sajie said: "It shouldn't be called that, we all call it Wu Gang Master!"
Zeng Sajie's words seemed to stimulate Ouyang Yuting even more, and Ouyang Yuting's face was extremely unsightly.
Zhou Jinyu saw that Ouyang Yuting was extremely competitive and unwilling, so he relieved the siege and said: "Everyone is a brother and friend, presumably Brother Wu doesn't mind how everyone calls him." ”
Wu Hongwen said with a smile: "Hahaha, you brothers are too careful, what helper does not help, shouting awkwardly." ”
Ouyang Yuting said: "The helper still has to be called." ”
Ouyang Yuting remembered one more thing, so he asked Zhou Jinyu again: "I heard that Brother Zhou Xian killed the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance?"
Zhou Jinyu said bitterly: "My brother also thinks so, I really have suffering." ”
Yin Yimeng said: "I told Yuting a long time ago that my cousin is kind-hearted, and besides, I will never assassinate him for no reason if I have no grievances with the leader of the martial arts alliance." ”
Zhou Jinyu and Wu Hongwen were stunned when they heard Yin Yimeng call Ouyang Yuting like this. Looking at Nayin Yimeng again, he knew that he was speechless, his pebble-like face was already flushed, and he lowered his head shyly.
Wu Hongwen's heart is even more mixed, he has a good impression of Yin Yimeng, why haven't he seen him for a month, is Yin Yimeng already a famous flower?
Calling a man like this in front of the public in the hall, Yin Yimeng was already extremely embarrassed, she saw that her father's personal guards Yan Jingchen and Yan Jingfeng were also here, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Why are the two generals here?"
Yan was shocked: "General Yin heard about Zhou Gongzi's matter, and he was very worried, so he specially ordered the two of us to come and pick up Miss and go back to Taiyuan." ”
Yin Yimeng said: "Jiangnan is so beautiful, I haven't taken a good turn yet, and now that my cousin is back, you don't have to worry." ”
Zhou Jinyu said: "It's better for my sister to go back first, now the rivers and lakes are chasing and killing me, you and me are too dangerous here, in case something goes wrong, I can't explain it to my uncle." ”
Wu Yi said with a smile: "Haha, you have just arrived here, why do you say that you want to leave? Could it be that I Wu someone is not well entertained? In my opinion, you might as well stay here for a few days, so that Hongwen and I can also fulfill the friendship of landlords." ”
Zhou Jinyu was about to excuse herself, but she saw the official Liu Da running in and said, "Master, the meal has been prepared." ”
Zeng Yingjie was already hungry, and as soon as he heard that there was food, he didn't wait for Wu Yi to speak, so he said: "Since the food is ready, let's go eat first, as for whether you leave or stay or discuss it after eating!"
Everyone was amused by Zeng Yingjie, so they put aside the matter of going and staying for the time being.
The Wu family has not been so lively for a long time, and the whole family is busy preparing meals for the festival.
Zhou Jinyu was really envious when he saw Wu Hongwen's home so lively, he must not go back, because it was Yelu Hanyan who caused his family to be ruined, and he must find the 'Mo Evil' sword to take revenge.
In a lively, cheerful atmosphere, negative emotions will not occupy for long. Zhou Jinyu looked at the friends from all walks of life who had met and made along the way to reunite and get together at Wu Hongwen's house today, and she was really happy in her heart. So, Zhou Jinyu beckoned Lin Lei'er to join the staggered atmosphere.
