The county lord took the bracelet and handed it to the old lady, and the old lady tried it and said with a smile: "His uncle, this child is really your child!"

Ren Songyi nodded, stepped forward to hug his son, and the father and son cried loudly.

Ren Songde called the big housekeeper to clean up the east courtyard for Lin Xuefei and his son to live temporarily, and asked the second housekeeper Ren Mingquan to inform all households in the village, from now on, the whole village Daqing to the eighteenth day of the first month, exempt all tenants from three years of land rent, and the household issued 22 taels of silver to Qing Da Ye recognized his son, which is also the year has arrived, and Tianqi's wedding date is approaching.

There was a big banquet in the village, and Ren Songyi at the banquet talked about how he knew Lin Xuefei's mother more than ten years ago.

One day in the autumn of eighteen years ago, Ren Songyi, who was the squire of the military department, took more than a dozen of his subordinates to Haozhou to inspect the military situation. It happened that the one who led the troops in Haozhou was Ren Songyi's Tanhua in the same hall at the same time, General Feng Yuding. In his spare time, Feng Yuding invited Ren Songyi and others to go to the Haozhou Hotel for dinner with a total of seven or eight people with several cronies and old friends. The group was dressed in civilian clothes and came to the Haozhou Hotel and dined in a private room upstairs. There are singers and dancers next to them, singing and dancing slowly. Feng Yuding and others are both civil and military generals, and the Jin and Song dynasties are fighting in the Haozhou area. Everyone was very drunk, and they staggered and hugged their favorite woman to rest. Ren Songyi drank a lot, and he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he had never drunk it, and his mind was quite clear. There were Ren Songyi left in the private room, two personal guards, and a woman in a yellow shirt who had not yet left. This woman is just in her youth, ten years old, with clear eyebrows, a slender figure, and a little thin, but she can play the piano well. Ren Songyi knows everything, especially in swordsmanship and music, and is quite accomplished. Ren Songyi called the woman and asked with a smile: "Who is the girl's family? How did she end up in Haozhou, where the soldiers met? How can she play the piano well?" After the woman saw the ceremony, she smiled and said: "The little woman Lu is from Taiyuan Mansion, and she came to Jianghuai to look for relatives because of the death of her parents. Because he had no relatives, he relied on his family's piano skills to wander around the hotel and the homes of major officials and businessmen to find a way to survive. Ren Songyi cherishes the benevolence and righteousness of the world, has all kinds of mercy for the people, and cherishes the young single woman in front of him with unique skills, and hurriedly turns his head and asks his subordinates to send fifty amounts of silver, and said with a smile: "The girl's family art is so wonderful, presumably Ling Lingci must be a great and virtuous person, how can the weather be unfavorable, and the parents actually left the girl, it is indeed the sky without eyes." The Haozhou area is not very peaceful at the moment, it is a place for the Jin and Song dynasties, and it is not easy to stay longer, so the girl still takes this bit of silver and goes south to the south of the Yangtze River early, and finds another place to live. The woman bowed down and thanked her, and asked Ren Songyi's name. Ren Songyi raised his hand, asked him to get up, and said with a smile: "This little thing is not enough to worry about, why should you care about the name of the person who cares about it." If the girl is willing, she will borrow the girl's piano to vent her heart's sorrows. The woman hurriedly offered the piano with both hands, looked up and saw the spotted bamboo sword on the table, her eyes were shining, and she passed away, and bowed down again. Ren Songyi traveled south and north, read countless people, and saw the unusual performance of the woman, and was already puzzled, but he also pretended not to know, bowed his head and played the piano, it was the "Strong Man Goes East" that ran through Changhong. After playing the song, the woman looked up and smiled: "The official has great ambitions and exquisite piano skills. It's just that since the official is an official and a soldier leader, he should know how to be merciful and not a soldier, and it seems that he should not have too much charity!" The woman's face was smiling, and her face was like a peach blossom. Seeing that Ren Songyi was stunned for a moment, he was confused, and he hurriedly collected his mind and returned to the shell, "Oh", and said with a smile: "The girl has good eyesight, but she has seen it away, but she didn't see that the girl is a master." Girl, can you tell me how Zai Xia saw that Zai Xia was an official with soldiers?" The woman smiled slightly, changed her reserved style, stepped forward generously, and sat down opposite Ren Songyi. The two guards behind Ren Songyi snorted angrily, and they were about to rush forward with their knives. Ren Songyi shook his hand to stop. The woman took out Fang Cai's fifty taels of silver and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "It's not that difficult. When a few people were eating, they all devoured it, and most of the words were about the garrison, and after the meal, they all took the girls to have fun, like an official and a soldier; Since they are officials and soldiers of the imperial court, it is useless to guess, and the dignity of the lord's identity is needless to say. Whether the master is an official or a businessman, the little woman has not seen it for a while. Ren Songyi's eyes widened when he heard this, thinking that this was indeed the case, he nodded hurriedly, and said with a smile: "Then how did you find out my official identity later?" The woman pointed to the silver on the table and said with a smile: "It was the silver ingot of the master that made the little woman affirm the identity of the master's official family." Ren Songyi's eyes widened. The woman smiled and said, "The only thing that can make the generals respectful is power, which is money." The master loves the people like a son, and he is generous, so he will not be a mercenary businessman. Ren Songyi nodded. The woman pointed to the spotted bamboo sword on the table and said, "There is also this spotted bamboo sword." Who in the world doesn't know that the left and right servants of the current military department are two sharp swords, the spotted bamboo sword and the green snake sword?" Ren Songyi's face changed greatly, he grabbed the spotted bamboo sword, drew the sword and aimed it at the woman, and said coldly: "Who is the girl? The woman looked up and smiled, and said, "Lord Ren, it's too late for you to know, I'm afraid that there will be no return today!" the woman said and glanced at the ingot of silver on the table. Ren Songyi laughed, put the sword into the sheath, turned around and sat down, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the girl means by this, if you have no grudge against the girl below, how can you have the hatred of life and death? Could it be that the girl came from the north? Ren Songyi was stunned, slowly stood up, slowly pulled out the spotted bamboo sword, and said lightly: "Look at it again." The girl is such a person who is proficient in music and rhythm, she should be a person with a good heart and no desire, but she is a killer of big gold. What should happen to my colleagues now?" Ren Songyi's eyes were angry, and he pressed on the woman. The woman smiled and said, "Either you will die or you will come." The woman may have finally felt guilty in her heart, turned her gaze, and did not dare to face Ren Songyi's anger. Ren Songyi raised his hand, and the spotted bamboo sword was already against the woman's neck, and said coldly: "Pick up your weapon!" The woman was stunned, looked up at Ren Songyi, and remained motionless. Ren Songyi said: "Ren never kills unarmed people. The woman remained motionless. Ren Songyi said angrily: "There is no distinction between men and women in Ren's eyes, don't blame the ruthless under him if he doesn't make a move!" heard a person outside the door: "Miss Lu, is the matter done? General Wanyan is here!" Ren Songyi was startled, the woman was stunned, and the two looked up at each other. Ren Songyi didn't want to wait any longer, so he raised his hand and stabbed with his sword. The woman shook her shoulders, shook off the blade of her sword, and flicked her hands at the two guards behind her. Ren Songyi shouted angrily, he had never seen anyone sneak attack someone under his nose, he was furious, and he attacked the woman with a sword in his right hand and a palm in his left hand. There were two screams, and the two guards fell to the ground with hidden weapons. Two people broke in with two "bumps" outside the door, and the two of them held short knives in their hands. Ren Songyi followed and pounced on the woman, the woman flew up with her feet, but she pounced on the door, her hands rose and fell, and the two "bumps" had slapped each of the two people at the door away. Ren Songyi was stunned when he saw this, the sword in his hand was slightly sluggish, and the blade of the sword stabbed the woman's back. Ren Songyi was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do. I saw the woman scream, staggered out, turned around against the wall, and said, "Brother Ren, go quickly, if you don't leave, it's too late!" Ren Songyi hurriedly said: "Why do you want to do this? What should you do if I leave?" The woman shook her head and said, "You are a good person, go quickly, if you don't leave, it will be too late." When the words fell, the woman had fainted in pain. Ren Songyi stepped forward, took out a few fingers to seal several big holes on the woman's body, picked her up, turned around and grabbed the scabbard, and flew out of the window. Later, Ren Songyi was a good student to heal her injuries, and the two hit it off at first sight, fell in love with each other, and walked around the rivers and lakes together, and they didn't dare to return to the court. Later, the imperial court remembered Ren Songyi's merits, and did not investigate his dereliction of duty, but still used it. Later, Ren Songyi's soldiers were defeated and lost their land, and the court punished them for two crimes, and Ren Songyi was exiled and separated from his lover.

Ren Tianqi smiled and said, "Uncle, what is the name of the aunt Fang?

Ren Songyi said with a smile: "Your eldest aunt's surname is Shan, a famous man, the only daughter in the family; ”

Ren Tianmin smiled: "Who is better than uncle or aunt?"

Ren Songyi turned his head to look at his son, and said with a smile: "It's Xuefei's mother." ”

Lin Xuefei exclaimed.

Ren Songyi smiled at his son and said: "What's so strange about this, your mother's swordsmanship, music, poetry, calligraphy and painting, all of them are better than those of your father." ”

The whole village was even more happy, and everyone sent gifts to Lin Xuefei.

Ren Tianqi even sent a spotted bamboo sword, a white jade Buddha bead, two jade cups, five thousand taels of silver, and five hundred taels of gold.

Song De, the director of the old village, also poured everything he had, and ordered people to record all the property in the village into two, write down the book, Ren Songyi and his son got half of the objects in the village, and sent a copy to Ren Songyi and his son.

Ren Songming also gave 3,000 taels of silver and 100 taels of gold.

In the dead of night, Ren Songyi took Lin Xuefei to the backyard, and called Ren Tianqi and the county lord, and everyone sat down. Ren Songyi took the bamboo sword to Ren Tianqi and said: "I have tried Xue Fei's skills, it is not easy to use this sword to sink, so I will leave it to you, and in the future, you will focus on finding a guy to take advantage of your brother." ”

Ren Tianqi answered.

Ren Songyi turned around and asked his son to kowtow to everyone present, and said to his son: "Although you are the child of my Ren family, you have never contributed to Ren Jiabao so far; In order to prevent our family from being bullied by Zhujiazhuang, the second brother of Ru went out to learn art at the age of twelve, and endured all the hardships and became a positive result, so that my Renjiabao was like Zhongtian and continued the glory of the past; Third Uncle Ru had already resigned and went home to take care of the family; for my father, I have also been wandering outside all my life, and in order to maintain the name of the three masters of the Ren family, I also gave an arm for this. All of this is to maintain the ancestral family business and the hard-won reputation, and now in front of your uncle and aunt, brother and sister-in-law, I swear an oath that I will not share my brother's property with my brother for the rest of my life, I will not do anything that insults the name of my ancestors for the rest of my life, and I will not do anything that goes against the will of man and heaven in my life. ”

Lin Xuefei swore as he did it one by one.

Ren Songyi took out the family property list and family separation documents from his arms, and set them on fire in front of everyone.

Ren Songde shot again and again to stop him.

Ren Songyi raised his hand to stop him and said, "There are a few things to do right now." First, to change Xue Fei's name back, to send someone to invite the beggar gang leader Old Man Yin and the elders of the gang to express their gratitude; second, to send people to inquire about the whereabouts of Xue Fei and his mother; third, to step up the teaching of Xue Fei's family without delay. For this reason, I want to stay at home for a year and find a quiet place to teach Xue Fei martial arts. ”

Ren Tianqi said: "Uncle, this place already has, I have a compound in Yangzhou, by the mountains and rivers, just outside the city of Yangzhou, very quiet, it is a gift from Longqiuzhuang; I bought some fields to expand, just to use; also, my master Nangong Xiong and his wife are also in Yangzhou. ”

Ren Songyi heard that he said yes again and again, looked at Ren Tianqi and nodded again and again, turned back to Ren Songde and said, "Brother, we are old, and we can't keep up with their brothers." My Ren family is really a successor, this is probably the wind of Gaozu, gratifying!"

Ren Songde smiled: "What the eldest brother said is true, but I haven't told them about it yet." ”

Ren Songyi touched his beard and said: "That's it, the rules of the family cannot be abolished." Okay, when Tianqi finishes getting married, he and Xue Fei will recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. Then how do you think this Xuefei got his name?"

Ren Songde said with a smile: "Our children have a heavenly character in the middle of their names, and the eldest brother is our family's Wenqu star, which still needs to be feared by others!"

Ren Songyi said with a smile: "That's it, then Xuefei is called God's gift, thank God for sending a descendant to my Ren family." ”

Everyone praised it, and Lin Xuefei was also very happy.

After a while, the uncle Ren Tianhui rushed back with the family, and said that the eldest lady was pregnant, and the whole family was even more happy. Ren Tianhui was very happy to see that not only the uncle was back, but also had a cousin, and gave a generous gift. Ren Songyi's father and son moved to the front yard guest room and did not see anything outside. The three brothers of Tianhui and several righteous brothers went out to purchase New Year's goods every day, patrolling the village and practicing Zhuangding. Tianbao is obedient and filial, and he talks to the old lady when he has nothing to do, and he is liked by everyone. However, Tianbao was very afraid of Gong Ming and never dared to talk to Gong Ming; Seeing this, the flying bat also beat but felt uneasy, stayed in the village with peace of mind, took this as his home, took medicine on time, and practiced hidden weapons diligently; a little red specially taught him a set of acupoint kung fu, a set of rolling knife techniques, and specially found someone to create a fine steel hand, and a short knife that was extremely short and sharp. Tian Muzuo was also well injured, and the people in the village were impressed by him. After seeing Tian Muzuo's saber, he said that this was not a sword, but a kind of knife in the Tang Dynasty, and said that now only the people of the small country in the east can use it. Only then did Tian Muzuo admit that he was indeed a native of the Japanese country, named Ohiragi Saburo, who came to the Central Plains to learn art, which dispelled everyone's suspicions and respected them as guests in the village. Ohiragi Saburo has always treated Ren Tianqi as a master and apprentice.
