Chapter 3: The sick and weak second young master

The legend is beautiful, beautiful like a blooming peony, when in full bloom, people appreciate her graceful and luxurious, delicate and gorgeous flowers, praise her noble and gorgeous, and say that she is the embodiment of happiness and beauty, which can bring happiness to people. However, a blooming peony always has a time to wither, once it withers, the spring flowers will fall, scattered into mud and dust, only spring will know.

People in the rivers and lakes, no matter how beautiful the legend is, it will always be a peony, and there will be a time when the flowers will fall in spring.

During the Jiajing period, the beautiful legend of Qianguo Lane was such a peony, which had already fallen in spring, to the point that no one had pitied the red incense.

The martial arts of the Tang family are too far from the legends.

The Tang family no longer knows how to make the falling mainsail automatically rise, and how to let the four blood-red characters "shameful for no faith" flutter in the wind on the mainsail. In order to keep the rules of Qianguo Lane and realize the promise of the Tang family, the brave children of the Tang family were able to hold their spears to kill the cargo ships on the shore in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, seize the advantageous position, raise the main sail, and ordered a disciple who had made light achievements to write four blood-red characters in the air with a pen in his hand, "No faith is shameful", and then many disciples smashed the cargo ship and sank into the river. In this way, although there is no mystery and horror of the ancestors, it adds a lot of arrogance and domineering, and also allows the Tang family to have a place in the rivers and lakes.

The Tang family also didn't know how to make a rusty iron gun fly to the center of the mast with a letter, and it was nailed there, standing still. Countless disciples have worked hard to practice the skill of flying spears, no matter how hard they practice, it is always difficult to make a rusty iron spear fly to the mast with a letter, let alone in the center, without a single difference.

There are many talents in the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible for the Tang family to protect the quiet and comfort of the legend of Qianguo Lane. The only bottom line that the Tang family hopes to keep is that the Qianguo Wharf is a ship that docks to transport fruits, because this is the promise of his ancestors to the world. In order to keep this bottom line, the Tang family had to hold a spear to kill the cargo ship docking, but gradually it was difficult and difficult.

The Tang family is no longer the owner of Qianguo Lane, but has become a passer-by in Qianguo Lane, at most they are the rich owners of many industries in Qianguo Lane.

The Tang family has lost its former glory.

The Tang family in Qianguo Lane has been forgotten by people on the rivers and lakes.

During the Jiajing period.

The Tang family also began to believe that the Tang family was based on martial arts not by martial arts, but by Taoism, that the ancestor Tang Guiren was proficient in spells, and that the ancestor Tang Guiren was guarding Qianguo Lane by driving ghosts and gods. They concentrated on cultivating Taoism, and devoted themselves to learning superior Taoist spells, and many disciples even left home directly and went to Maoshan to concentrate on cultivating spells.

Qianguo Lane on the north bank of the south canal of Changzhou City, adjacent to the deep house garden in the north, the first one in the east is Tang Lishan's house, and the end of the alley is the Tang ancestral hall "Huaxu Hall", the blue tile powder wall, hiding a quiet under the prosperity.

The Tang family still looks so prosperous and wealthy. On the gable wall, the carved pattern composed of bats and longevity characters means "blessing and longevity", the lintel is carved with the pattern of the ninth generation of cohabitation, and the roof is overhanging into a bridge to look graceful and luxurious. The gate is in the southeast corner of the yard. The courtyard has three entrances, the screen of the entrance door, the pattern of the moon season flower is placed in the vase to imply "the four seasons of peace"; the first entry is the hall and the broad courtyard, there are east and west wings built on both sides, it is the house of the maid and the housekeeper; the second entry is the house of the book house and the house of the son of the Tang family; the third entry is the private room of the old lady, the old lady, the lady and the young lady, and there is a spring garden full of flowers in the four seasons in the back.

Six people from four generations live in the courtyard of the Tang family's deep house, Tang Qianzhi, the heir of the Tang family, Tang Qianzhi, the eldest son of the family, Tang Qian's grandmother, Tang Lishan's wife, Wang Saihua, the wife of Tang Qian's mother, Tang Xiaoen's wife, the old lady Liu Yunmei, Tang Qian's wife's wife, Shen Ruyun, and the eight-year-old eldest lady Tang Wenting. The eldest young master Tang Wenhan is ten years old, and according to the rules of the Tang family, he has gone to Maoshan to learn art.

In the early spring, Tang Qian's age was nearly fifty, and there was a great joy in the Tang family compound, and Mrs. Shen's body was happy, and the Tang family was immersed in joy.

On the winter solstice, there was a burst of good news in the Tang family's compound, breaking the silence in the middle of the night. "Madame is in labor. Madame is in labor."

The Tang family added a new male, the second young master, named Tang Wenyuan.

Tang Wenyuan has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and the old lady named him Tianyou, hoping that God will bless him. But God still doesn't seem to favor him and bless him. Tang Wenyuan was just able to walk at the age of two, and when he was three years old, he was out of breath and sweating profusely after running more than 100 steps.

The Tang family invited all the famous doctors in Changzhou City, and specially sent the housekeeper Tang Fu to prepare a carriage to Menghe, a famous divine doctor village outside Changzhou, to invite Fei Xinnan, a divine doctor, to diagnose Tianyou.

The Fei family is a medical family of Menghe, according to legend, its ancestor Fei Zili was once a fellow of the Privy Council of the Yuan Dynasty, and by chance he got a medical secret book by chance, abandoned the official to practice medicine, and lived in seclusion in Menghe. The Fei family is a doctor of civilization, and any incurable disease is eliminated by hand.

Doctor Fei couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Tianyou, couldn't diagnose the reason, and sighed: "Madame was pregnant with insufficient qi and blood, and the fetal nourishment was insufficient, and the second young master was born weak, not easy to strenuous activities, and easy to recuperate. With a pair of ancestral secret recipes, he instructed Tang Fu to arrange for his subordinates to suffer and let the second young master take it every day, saying that maybe it could work in three years and five years.

The Tang family did not use the ancestral secret recipe of the Divine Doctor, but used a pair of medicines prepared by the old lady. The old lady asked Aunt Xia Mei to send it over, and her sister Wen Ting boiled it by herself, one pair a day. Tianyou drank the old lady's medicine and grew up slowly.

The old lady sent Tang Fu to Maoshan to invite the most famous fortune teller Wang Shenxian, Wang Shenxian looked at the eight characters of his birthday, calculated and said: "The second young master belongs to Tiankuixing, and he should be a noble person, but because of the hurry of coming down to earth, he ordered Tai Sui." There are poems and clouds, and Tai Sui sits on the head without joy and fear. Although there are noble elephants, the family business is in trouble, the body is diseased, and it is difficult to die. ”

God bless him like this, Shen often shed tears alone, blaming himself for not raising the baby well and being depressed.

Tianyou, the second young master of the Tang family, has been working since he was three years old, and he often has some very strange dreams at night.

He often heard a voice say to him in his dreams, "I have waited for you for a thousand years, and I have loved you for ten thousand years." ”

Slowly, when he was five years old, he saw in a dream a fairy with crane hair and a fluttering coat, and said to him, "I have been waiting for you for a thousand years, and I have loved you for ten thousand years." Come with me, what do you want? I can help you make it happen. "Whatever he wants, the gods will give him. There were white clouds in the sky, a gust of wind was blowing, and there were all kinds of toys in front of me, a running wooden horse, a talking deer, and a singing Thumbelina, the song was beautiful and sweet.

Every night, he would go to bed early and wait for the gods to appear in his dreams. Although the fairy does not come every day, but, slowly, he finds that this dream is becoming more and more beautiful.

All the children in Qianguo Lane followed him, played with him, and flew kites in the open space in the suburbs of the west of the city, and the little beauty of the old Wang family next door sat on the kite with him and swam in the blue sky, flying over the mountains, flying over the sea, a bird bigger than a cow flew by his side, the little beauty of the old Wang family hugged him and drilled straight into his arms, God blessed her lovely face, Wang Eryi of the old Wang family next door pulled him off the kite, and scolded: "Boy, you bully my sister, I will beat you to death!" Tianyou put down the little beauty of the old Wang family and fled, Wang Er chased after him, his thumbelina jumped to the ground in his palm, she grew up quickly, kicked over and kicked Wang Er to the roof of the Maoshan Tea House. Tianyou returned to the room, the room was full of toys, and the mother came and said, "The room is a mess. Tianyou sighed: "My baby is obedient, neatly arranged, and makes my mother happy." One by one, his toys would sing and he would line up and bow deeply to his mother.
