Chapter 362
There are so many books in the palace, and the variety is so wide. Even those rich and powerful families who have lived for many generations can pick up any one of them alone, and the collection of books is not comparable to that of the palace.
Not only is there a rich collection of books, but there are also many types. A subset of classics and history, Buddhist and Taoist classics, and even many classics that have been lost in later generations are all included in the big house.
In addition to compiling and transcribing Wang Zhong's daily work, there is also an additional item of transportation, which is to take the rare or even non-existent treasures out of the inner palace after copying.
Entering the Donei Library is like a fish entering water for Wang Zhong. Since Emperor Jiayou said that he is still young and has little experience and needs to hone his skills for a few years, he will naturally be unable to leave Bianliang in a short time.
In Tianshui Lane, Wang Zhong, who had returned home from Xiaya, met Wang Erxi and Yu Chuer who had just come from Yangzhou.
"Third Master!"
"Third Master!"
As time passed and the world changed, the two people's address to Wang Zhong also changed.
"Sit down!" Wang Zhong motioned for the two to sit down, brewed a pot of green tea from his own farm, and poured a cup for each of them.
"What's going on in Yangzhou?"
Wang Erxi said: "The business at Zhuangzi has stabilized. There is a first-year inspection on the breeding farm, and there is no problem for the time being. There is brother Fu leading a group of brothers in the oil workshop, and there is no problem. It is the frosting workshop. The mother-in-law left in a hurry and didn't have time to explain, which delayed a lot of production, and the price of icing sugar on the market has increased a lot recently."
Wang Zhongdao: "Scarcity is the most precious thing, if the frosting becomes a rotten street item, how can it be sold at a high price!"
"That's what the third master said, and that's what Master Sheng said too!" Wang Erxi said.
"By the way, second brother, how are the young and strong trainees you picked?"
Wang Erxi shook his head and said, "It's still far away!"
"Take your time, don't worry!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.
Then he looked at Yu Chuer next to him, and asked, "How are Xiaozhuzhuang and the village doing?"
"Back to the third master, the village is the same as before, nothing has changed. There are a few students in the school who have graduated from the school, and they are all arranged to work with the stewards on the Zhuangzi. There is also a lady from the fourth family of Li, whose name The one named An Ran is the little girl you praised her for her talent in mathematics and taught her for a while. You even asked me to tell you that she knows what you taught her. When will you teach her? New ones!"
"Oh?" Wang Zhong was not surprised either: "This is really good news!"
"That girl's talent is indeed not low. I will write a letter later, and you will send it back. If she is willing to come to Bianliang, let Brother Shi and the others send her over. I want to see if this doll can learn To what extent."
"The third master wants to take her as a disciple?" Yu Chuer asked in surprise.
Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Why, no?"
"No, no!" Yu Chuer hurriedly shook his head and said, "The little one is just...just..."
"Okay! No need to explain!" Wang Zhong waved his hand and said: "Most of the time, women's hearts are thinner than our men's. It was the rule I set at the beginning. No matter men or women, as long as they perform well, they can work in our farm. , a manly man, he should keep his promise, how can he change it day and night!"
"Why don't we just do this? Now that I have a lot of free time, let the teachers of the school recommend a few outstanding students for each subject, and I will personally bring them for a few years."
Wang Chong wrote four letters, one to Sheng Hong, one to Sheng Wei, one to Changbai, and the remaining one to the village chief and several elders.
Just a few days after Wang Zhong's letter was sent out, a letter from Yangzhou was delivered to Wang Zhong.
The letter was written by Changbai. In the letter, it said some recent developments. The content was similar to the past. He also mentioned that the marriage of Changbai’s eldest sister, Hualan, had already begun. Changbai’s mother and uncle were very satisfied with Zhongqin. The Erlang of Bo Yuan's family, the two seniors have been exchanging letters recently, and there is a great momentum that something good will happen.
Changbai also mentioned in the letter that Wang Zhong is now in Tokyo and asked Wang Zhong to inquire about the situation of the Yuan family.
After a delay of five days, Wang Zhong wrote another reply letter, asking Wang Erxi to entrust the brothers of the Cao Gang to send it back to Yangzhou as soon as possible.
Seven days later, the Caobang brothers who traveled all the way down the river by boat delivered Wang Zhong's letter to Changbai, the Sheng family in Yangzhou.
After Changbai read the letter, his complexion changed drastically, and he grabbed the letter and ran out in a hurry.
"Father!" In Sheng Hong's study, Chang Bai lost his composure and rushed in.
"Bai'er?" Looking at Chang Bai who lost his composure, Sheng Hong was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
"Father, please look, this is a letter from Zihou!" Changbai walked quickly to the desk, stretched out his hands, bent to hold the letter, and handed Wang Zhong's letter to Sheng Hong.
"Zihou's letter?" Sheng Hong read the letter as quickly as possible, but frowned after reading it.
Sheng Hong said: "Why did Zi Hou mention the matter of the Yuan family to you?"
Chang Bai said: "It was the son who heard that his father and mother wanted to marry the eldest sister to the Yuan family, so he specially wrote to ask Zihou to help him find out!"
"Boy and Zihou are inseparable. Zihou will definitely not just talk about it. Besides, Zihou also admired Yuan Wenshao in his letter. He said that his martial arts and strategy are quite outstanding. He is also the top among the noble children in Tokyo. Now Now I'm looking for a job in the city defense battalion."
"Marriage matters are the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. The child shouldn't have interfered. It only involves the elder sister. The child is in a moment of embarrassment. Please punish the father!" Changbai stepped back a few steps and knelt on the ground, He clapped his hands and said loudly.
Sheng Hong hurriedly got up and helped Changbai up: "You are also thinking of your elder sister, how can you punish me as a father!"
"Let me tell you the truth on behalf of my father. In fact, my father prefers sons. However, your mother, your uncle, and your grandmother all prefer Yuan Wenshao's child." Sheng Hong was also very helpless.
Changbai said: "Mother, grandmother and uncle, they have their own considerations!"
"I don't know!" Sheng Hong said regretfully, "Last year in Tokyo, I met that kid Yuan Wenshao. That kid has a honest temperament, a kind temper, and a good family background. He is indeed a good boy."
"Father!" Chang Bai said, "Our Sheng family is a clean stream of civil servants, while the Yuan family, who was born as a military general, is honorable. Civil and military are different, and the Yuan family is an uncle's house. The Countess is making things difficult, we are afraid..."
Although Changbai doesn't care about things at home on weekdays, he only reads the books of sages and sages, which can be compared to Changbai's intelligence, but the inner house is so big. After watching the battle between Wang and Lin Sushuang for so many years, he should have seen some tricks .
"I can't help big sister!"
"There is no such thing as a pie in the sky in this world!" Sheng Hong shook his head and said, "Actually, what your mother and the others are thinking is also reasonable. After all, the Yuan family is the Earl's Mansion, and Yuan Wenshao's child is also very good, but if his career is really not going well in the future, There is still a title to bless you."
"Ke Zihou... Hey!" Sheng Hong sighed, and said, "You don't need to mention it, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. With your mother and I taking care of your eldest sister, the most important thing for you right now The only thing you need to do is to concentrate on your studies and be named on the gold list as soon as possible!"
"The child understands! Then the child will not bother!"
Changbai doesn't talk much on weekdays, but it's rare for him to talk so much today, which is quite a sight.
More than a month later, the news of the marriage between the Sheng family and the Zhongqin Bo Yuan's family quickly spread throughout the entire Tokyo city, and in October of that year, the wedding ceremony was performed.
In the winter month of the third year of Jiayou, Wang Zhong asked for some leave in advance, traveled by land to the boundary of Huaiyin, and then went south by boat, and arrived in Yangzhou within a few days.
At that time, Hualan and Yuan Wenshao's acceptance ceremony had already passed.
Wang Zhong came back in a hurry, hurried all the way, Changbai learned the news of Wang Zhong's return, it was when Wang Zhong came to visit.
Wang Zhong first met with Sheng Hong, and apologized, saying that he could not make it back to participate in the Hualan Nacai ceremony, and presented a congratulatory gift purchased in Tokyo.
"You and my nephew, why bother to see outsiders like this!" Sheng Hong smiled, as if he had completely forgotten that he wanted Wang Zhong to be his son-in-law all the time.
Sheng Hong couldn't help but feel rejoicing in his heart, although he mentioned this matter cryptically at the beginning, but luckily he didn't mention it in the open, and Wang Zhong is also a smart person.
"My uncle treats me like a nephew, which is the joy of Hualan Shimei, how can I turn a blind eye to it, such a small gift is just my nephew's wish, I hope my uncle will not refuse."
The two tried to evade, Sheng Hong took the gift list and thanked Wang Zhong for Hua Lan.
To be honest, the girl Hua Lan is really good-looking, but her temperament is a bit more arrogant and her temper is a bit stronger. She is not the type that Wang Zhong likes, and Wang Zhong has never had Hua Lan's idea. When in Tokyo, Wang Zhong clearly heard the meaning of Sheng Hong's words, so how could he vaguely reveal it!
"Uncle's transfer order has come down!" Wang Zhong looked at Sheng Hong with a half-smile.
"I arrived in Yangzhou a month ago, and I can leave in the spring of next year after the handover is completed."
"Congratulations Uncle, Congratulations Uncle! Sixth rank to fifth rank is a threshold, once you cross it, your future will be limitless!" Wang Zhong smiled sincerely.
Sheng Hong was also very happy, with a smile on his face, but he still said modestly: "In the officialdom, there are turmoil and turmoil. Who can say clearly about the future!"
Wang Zhongdao: "Uncle has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and is kind to others. Even if the situation changes, uncle will definitely be able to protect himself."
After some excuses with Sheng Hong, Changbai who heard Wang Zhong's visit also hurried over.
Sheng Hong wisely left time for the young people and left by himself.
Chang Bai immediately took Wang Zhong out, saying that he wanted to welcome Wang Zhong, and by the way, introduced a new good friend to Wang Zhong.
The two came to Wangjianglou, the most popular restaurant in Yangzhou. Today, the old Wutou and his son are still in charge of Wangjianglou. , all from Xiaozhuzhuang.
In the past Wangjiang Tower was built by Wang Zhong, and Wang Zhong will go to Tokyo for two years, everyone in the building naturally knows Wang Zhong.
Seeing the owner coming over, the largest private room with the best view on the second floor was naturally vacated.
The best private room in Wangjiang Tower is called "Shuitian Yise". As the name suggests, you can see the scenery of water and sky from the window, especially at sunrise, when the sun rises from the east, the entire river is dyed gold.
"I'm really curious. Who is it that can make Zecheng respect his friends so much?" Sitting on the side of the long table beside the bed, Wang Zhong asked curiously.
But Changbai played tricks: "When he comes later, then Cheng will know!"
"Zecheng said so, I am even more curious!"
"Try this sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed!"
The two were chatting while eating and drinking, when suddenly footsteps came from outside, and then Han Niu came in carrying a young man in a dark double-breasted brocade jacket.
"Zhong Huai is here, come, let me introduce you, this is the Prince Hou I often mention to you!"
"Gu Er is so polite!" The person who came was none other than Gu Tingye who had hit it off with Changbai.
"Since you are Zecheng's friend, then you are my friend. There is no need to be so polite. I, Wang Zhong, have thick cursive characters. You can just call me Biaozi."
"I'm Gu Tingye, the cursive character Zhonghuai!" Gu Tingye also introduced himself: "Brother Zihou's name, I've already heard it like thunder!"
"Zhonghuai's name is also very resounding in Tokyo City!" Wang Zhong clasped his hands and laughed.
Gu Tingye smiled awkwardly, cupped his hands and said, "I'm making you laugh!"
"Hey!" Wang Zhong said: "The so-called reputation is just something that people say, it's not clear how much is true and how much is false, and how others talk about it is their business, but sincerity and I have the same temperament, Zhong Huaineng Being introduced as a good friend by Zecheng must also be a person of true temperament, but there is nothing to laugh at about some romantic affairs and youthful wanderings."
Gu Tingye was taken aback by Wang Zhong's words.
Changbai said: "Zihou is right. We get along with each other because we have similar temperaments. What do we have to do with others?"
Wang Zhong looked at Gu Er and said with a smile: "Zecheng respects Zhong Huai very much, and he praised him a lot in front of me before."
Gu Tingye glanced at Changbai, and said to Wang Zhong: "Zecheng often said in front of me that Zihou is both civil and military, with a deep chest, and is very human. When I saw him today, he really is."
Sheng Hong is a smooth and sophisticated person, no matter who he associates with, he always makes people feel happy, but in the eyes of those extremely smart people, it is difficult to get close to such a smooth and sophisticated person.
But Wang Zhong was totally different, he was forthright and frank, outspoken, just talking to him made people feel comfortable.
"Zhong Huai was born in Ningyuanhou's mansion, so he must have won the true biography of Ningyuanhou, and his martial arts is outstanding?" Wang Zhong looked at Gu Er with burning eyes.
It has been several years since he came to this world, and Wang Zhong also met many Jiang Hu people in the Cao Gang, most of them have martial arts, but none of them are advanced.
And Gu Er can be said to be the ceiling of combat power in the original drama. I don't know how his family's martial arts are different from those circulated in the world?
Looking at those star-like eyes and feeling Wang Zhong's scorching eyes, Gu Er was amazed in his heart. The way of martial arts is nothing more than training the body, tempering the muscles and bones, and strengthening the blood. The situation where the eyes are as bright as a big star, Gu Er only heard his father who is not very close mentioned it, saying that his muscles and bones are strong to a certain extent, full of energy and blood, naturally full of energy, and his eyes are like a big star .
It's just that that kind of realm actually appeared in a young man who was less than twenty and only a few years older than himself, how could it not surprise Gu Er.
"It's just that I learned some tricks!" Gu Er was a little confused about Wang Zhong's depth, but he became humble.
Wang Zhong cupped his hands and said, "I have a village outside the city, and I have raised a few bad horses. If Zhong Huai has time, why not go to my village for a few days, and you and I can learn from each other, how about it?"
"Stick what you want, but dare not ask me!"
Changbai next to him suggested: "It's better to hit the sun than choose the day, how about today?"
"Then today!"
The three of them had their meals in a hurry, Changbai sent Han Niu back to report the news, and he followed the two to Xiaozhu Village.
Seeing the martial arts arena that Wang Zhong built behind Zhuangzi, and the seven or eight kinds of weapons on the weapon shelf next to it, Gu Tingye immediately felt his hands itch. He picked up a wooden stick and wanted to compete with Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong also took a wooden stick, and pointed the end of the stick at Gu Tingye: "I'm a guest from afar, Zhong Huai, please!"
"Zihou be careful!"
If it is a comparison, Gu Tingye thinks he is not the opponent of Wang Zhong and Chang Bai.
Speaking of martial arts, Gu Tingye, as the only one in Ningyuan Hou's mansion who has been personally taught martial arts and military art by the contemporary Ningyuan Hou, practiced three nines in winter and three periods in summer, has been ten years since he was five years old, and has never slacked off. Don't think of yourself as inferior to others.
Gu Er strode like flying, after a few ups and downs, he was already in front of Wang Zhong, the long stick in his stick was like a poisonous snake coming out of the hole, running towards Wang Zhong's shoulder.
As powerful as thunder, as swift as lightning, this alone is enough to glimpse Gu Erzhi's martial arts.
If it was against the enemy, Gu Er's stick would not hit the shoulder, but the throat.
But Wang Zhong was not in a hurry, his expression was as usual, he held the stick with both hands, and gently circled his right hand at the end of the stick, and the head of the stick also drew a big circle.
With a bang, Gu Er's stick was separated, and the stick in Wang Zhong's hand was already pointed at Gu Er's throat.
Gu Er stared at Wang Zhong in front of him dumbfounded, and hadn't recovered from this stunning stab.
Changbai next to him was also stunned. Changbai witnessed Gu Er's bravery in the battle against the assassins on the big ship that day.
But the incomparably heroic Gu Er was subdued by Wang Zhong at once?
"Is this marksmanship?"
Gu Er looked at Wang Zhong and exclaimed.
"It's really marksmanship!" Wang Zhong stood up with his stick, and said loudly, "Again?"
Gu Er was not discouraged, he stopped being reckless like before, and carefully started to test slowly with his stick.
……
After two cups of tea, Gu Er had a wry smile on his face, and Wang Zhong bowed his hands and said, "Zihou is very skilled in martial arts, I admire you!"
"It's just how old Zhong Huai is, and it's just taking advantage of his age!"
Wang Zhong smiled, walked over to discuss with Gu Er.
In fact, Gu Er's kung fu is not bad, and his foundation is very solid, but he lacks actual combat experience, and Wang Zhong's various physical attributes are already ten times higher than ordinary people. The so-called kung fu, in the final analysis, is nothing more than strength , response and speed.
Gu Er's physical fitness is almost twice that of an adult. This is due to his lack of age. When he becomes an adult, he will definitely increase, especially his reaction, which is extremely fast.
After some exchanges between the two, Wang Zhong took care of the two, and also learned that Gu Er's martial arts methods are generally speaking, similar to the martial arts practiced by Wang Zhong, there are differences in fighting methods, training methods, and ultimate moves.
The so-called ultimate move does not refer to a certain fixed routine, but a series of instantaneous burst skills, exerting force and mobilizing qi and blood, the effect is very significant.
And Wang Zhong's advice to Gu Er benefited Gu Er a lot. In just a few days, his combat power abruptly rose to a higher level.
A few days later, Wang Ruofu took Sheng Hong with Changbai and his sisters Hualan and Rulan to Runzhou, which is just across the river from Yangzhou, to say goodbye to Changbai's uncle and grandmother.
Old Madam Sheng went to Sanqingguan outside the city to live for a while. Among the Sheng family, there were only a few concubines of Sheng Hong and three children of concubines left.
One day, Gu Er invited Wang Zhong to his home to have a drink and exchange ideas. The two were performing martial arts in the courtyard. Her little mother had a difficult labor, and the second elder brother has already brought the sixth girl to Huichun Hall to invite a doctor!"
"What? Such a big Sheng family, let an eight-year-old girl hire a doctor by herself?"
"Zhonghuai, Uncle Sheng's kindness to me is as great as a mountain, and Changbai and I are inseparable. Now that they are not in Yangzhou, I can't just sit idly by!" After saying that, he put down his weapon and walked out.
Gu Er hurriedly chased after him: "I'll go with you."
"Okay! You and I will go together!" Wang Zhong and Gu Er looked at each other and walked out together.
Just when he reached the door, Wang Zhong suddenly stopped, Gu Er looked at Wang Zhong in confusion: "What else?"
Wang Zhongdao: "Nowadays there are only female relatives in the Sheng family. You and I are outsiders. It would be wrong to go hastily. Now that the old lady of the Sheng family is recuperating in Sanqing Temple outside the city, it is better for you and me to divide into two groups. I will go to the Sheng family. Huai went to Sanqing Temple, and asked Mrs. Sheng to come back. After Zhong Huai saw Mrs. Sheng, he only had to tell the truth, without saying anything, and Mrs. Sheng would make her own decision."
"Okay! I'll go now!"
Even if Gu Erdang ordered people to prepare horses, the two came out from the back door of Bai's house, and the horsemen split into two groups. Wang Zhong led Yu Chuer straight to the Huichun Hall, just in time for Wang Erxi to hold Minglan and drag her away. The doctor came out from the Hall of Rejuvenation with the medicine box on his shoulders.
"Hoo!" Wang Zhong reined in his horse and asked sharply, "What's going on?"
"Brother Wang Zhong!" Seeing Wang Zhong, Ming Lan seemed to have seen a life-saving straw: "Quickly ask Lang Zhong to save my mother!"
"Third Lord, this doctor doesn't want to go to the doctor!" Wang Erxi immediately explained.
"Second brother, give me the sixth girl, I'll go first, you take Lang Zhong, and ride over quickly on the horse of the second grader!" Wang Zhong was on the horse, leaned over and grabbed Minglan's shoulder, and lifted her to his body Sitting in front of him, he beat his horse and galloped away as soon as he gave his instructions.
As soon as Wang Erxi threw Langzhong onto the horse, he immediately got on the horse, followed closely by the horse.
The four of them rode in two, and it only took a moment to arrive at the Sheng's house, but at this time, the Sheng's house was tightly closed.
Wang Zhong stepped forward to call for the door, but there was no answer. Even if he walked to the courtyard wall next to him, he took a few steps back, took a run-up, leaped over the top of the wall, and kicked away the gatekeeper. Opening the corner door, he led Ming Lan and Lang Zhong in.
"This way!" Ming Lan didn't talk nonsense, she led Wang Zhong and Lang Zhong straight to her and Wei Xiaoniang's yard.
As soon as he arrived outside the courtyard, he saw a beautiful woman in a peach blossom skirt and jacket, leading a large group of servants with sticks, surrounded by several maids, and stopped in front.
Minglan explained loudly: "This is the doctor I invited, you guys get out of the way!"
Lin Sushuang didn't say a word, just watched coldly, more than a dozen servants with sticks rushed forward, Wang Zhong let go of Minglan, took a deep breath, and rushed forward with a stride, everyone saw a black shadow flashing in front of her , couldn't catch Wang Zhong's voice at all, but with just one breath, more than a dozen servants and servants flew out in all directions, without even making a scream.
"Ghost!"
Several timid female envoys were frightened and backed away. Even Lin Sushuang was stunned and staggered back a few steps, as if he had really encountered a ghost.
When they were in a daze, Wang Zhong had already dragged Minglan and Langzhong into Wei Xiaoniang's yard.

There are so many books in the palace, and the variety is so wide. Even those rich and powerful families who have lived for many generations can pick up any one of them alone, and the collection of books is not comparable to that of the palace.
Not only is there a rich collection of books, but there are also many types. A subset of classics and history, Buddhist and Taoist classics, and even many classics that have been lost in later generations are all included in the big house.
In addition to compiling and transcribing Wang Zhong's daily work, there is also an additional item of transportation, which is to take the rare or even non-existent treasures out of the inner palace after copying.
Entering the Donei Library is like a fish entering water for Wang Zhong. Since Emperor Jiayou said that he is still young and has little experience and needs to hone his skills for a few years, he will naturally be unable to leave Bianliang in a short time.
In Tianshui Lane, Wang Zhong, who had returned home from Xiaya, met Wang Erxi and Yu Chuer who had just come from Yangzhou.
"Third Master!"
"Third Master!"
As time passed and the world changed, the two people's address to Wang Zhong also changed.
"Sit down!" Wang Zhong motioned for the two to sit down, brewed a pot of green tea from his own farm, and poured a cup for each of them.
"What's going on in Yangzhou?"
Wang Erxi said: "The business at Zhuangzi has stabilized. There is a first-year inspection on the breeding farm, and there is no problem for the time being. There is brother Fu leading a group of brothers in the oil workshop, and there is no problem. It is the frosting workshop. The mother-in-law left in a hurry and didn't have time to explain, which delayed a lot of production, and the price of icing sugar on the market has increased a lot recently."
Wang Zhongdao: "Scarcity is the most precious thing, if the frosting becomes a rotten street item, how can it be sold at a high price!"
"That's what the third master said, and that's what Master Sheng said too!" Wang Erxi said.
"By the way, second brother, how are the young and strong trainees you picked?"
Wang Erxi shook his head and said, "It's still far away!"
"Take your time, don't worry!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.
Then he looked at Yu Chuer next to him, and asked, "How are Xiaozhuzhuang and the village doing?"
"Back to the third master, the village is the same as before, nothing has changed. There are a few students in the school who have graduated from the school, and they are all arranged to work with the stewards on the Zhuangzi. There is also a lady from the fourth family of Li, whose name The one named An Ran is the little girl you praised her for her talent in mathematics and taught her for a while. You even asked me to tell you that she knows what you taught her. When will you teach her? New ones!"
"Oh?" Wang Zhong was not surprised either: "This is really good news!"
"That girl's talent is indeed not low. I will write a letter later, and you will send it back. If she is willing to come to Bianliang, let Brother Shi and the others send her over. I want to see if this doll can learn To what extent."
"The third master wants to take her as a disciple?" Yu Chuer asked in surprise.
Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Why, no?"
"No, no!" Yu Chuer hurriedly shook his head and said, "The little one is just...just..."
"Okay! No need to explain!" Wang Zhong waved his hand and said: "Most of the time, women's hearts are thinner than our men's. It was the rule I set at the beginning. No matter men or women, as long as they perform well, they can work in our farm. , a manly man, he should keep his promise, how can he change it day and night!"
"Why don't we just do this? Now that I have a lot of free time, let the teachers of the school recommend a few outstanding students for each subject, and I will personally bring them for a few years."
Wang Chong wrote four letters, one to Sheng Hong, one to Sheng Wei, one to Changbai, and the remaining one to the village chief and several elders.
Just a few days after Wang Zhong's letter was sent out, a letter from Yangzhou was delivered to Wang Zhong.
The letter was written by Changbai. In the letter, it said some recent developments. The content was similar to the past. He also mentioned that the marriage of Changbai’s eldest sister, Hualan, had already begun. Changbai’s mother and uncle were very satisfied with Zhongqin. The Erlang of Bo Yuan's family, the two seniors have been exchanging letters recently, and there is a great momentum that something good will happen.
Changbai also mentioned in the letter that Wang Zhong is now in Tokyo and asked Wang Zhong to inquire about the situation of the Yuan family.
After a delay of five days, Wang Zhong wrote another reply letter, asking Wang Erxi to entrust the brothers of the Cao Gang to send it back to Yangzhou as soon as possible.
Seven days later, the Caobang brothers who traveled all the way down the river by boat delivered Wang Zhong's letter to Changbai, the Sheng family in Yangzhou.
After Changbai read the letter, his complexion changed drastically, and he grabbed the letter and ran out in a hurry.
"Father!" In Sheng Hong's study, Chang Bai lost his composure and rushed in.
"Bai'er?" Looking at Chang Bai who lost his composure, Sheng Hong was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
"Father, please look, this is a letter from Zihou!" Changbai walked quickly to the desk, stretched out his hands, bent to hold the letter, and handed Wang Zhong's letter to Sheng Hong.
"Zihou's letter?" Sheng Hong read the letter as quickly as possible, but frowned after reading it.
Sheng Hong said: "Why did Zi Hou mention the matter of the Yuan family to you?"
Chang Bai said: "It was the son who heard that his father and mother wanted to marry the eldest sister to the Yuan family, so he specially wrote to ask Zihou to help him find out!"
"Boy and Zihou are inseparable. Zihou will definitely not just talk about it. Besides, Zihou also admired Yuan Wenshao in his letter. He said that his martial arts and strategy are quite outstanding.

More than a month later, the news of the marriage between the Sheng family and the Zhongqin Bo Yuan's family quickly spread throughout the entire Tokyo city, and in October of that year, the wedding ceremony was performed.
In the winter month of the third year of Jiayou, Wang Zhong asked for some leave in advance, traveled by land to the boundary of Huaiyin, and then went south by boat, and arrived in Yangzhou within a few days.
At that time, Hualan and Yuan Wenshao's acceptance ceremony had already passed.
Wang Zhong came back in a hurry, hurried all the way, Changbai learned the news of Wang Zhong's return, it was when Wang Zhong came to visit.
Wang Zhong first met with Sheng Hong, and apologized, saying that he could not make it back to participate in the Hualan Nacai ceremony, and presented a congratulatory gift purchased in Tokyo.
"You and my nephew, why bother to see outsiders like this!" Sheng Hong smiled, as if he had completely forgotten that he wanted Wang Zhong to be his son-in-law all the time.
Sheng Hong couldn't help but feel rejoicing in his heart, although he mentioned this matter cryptically at the beginning, but luckily he didn't mention it in the open, and Wang Zhong is also a smart person.
"My uncle treats me like a nephew, which is the joy of Hualan Shimei, how can I turn a blind eye to it, such a small gift is just my nephew's wish, I hope my uncle will not refuse."
The two tried to evade, Sheng Hong took the gift list and thanked Wang Zhong for Hua Lan.
To be honest, the girl Hua Lan is really good-looking, but her temperament is a bit more arrogant and her temper is a bit stronger. She is not the type that Wang Zhong likes, and Wang Zhong has never had Hua Lan's idea. When in Tokyo, Wang Zhong clearly heard the meaning of Sheng Hong's words, so how could he vaguely reveal it!
"Uncle's transfer order has come down!" Wang Zhong looked at Sheng Hong with a half-smile.
"I arrived in Yangzhou a month ago, and I can leave in the spring of next year after the handover is completed."
"Congratulations Uncle, Congratulations Uncle! Sixth rank to fifth rank is a threshold, once you cross it, your future will be limitless!" Wang Zhong smiled sincerely.
Sheng Hong was also very happy, with a smile on his face, but he still said modestly: "In the officialdom, there are turmoil and turmoil. Who can say clearly about the future!"
Wang Zhongdao: "Uncle has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and is kind to others. Even if the situation changes, uncle will definitely be able to protect himself."
After some excuses with Sheng Hong, Changbai who heard Wang Zhong's visit also hurried over.
Sheng Hong wisely left time for the young people and left by himself.
Chang Bai immediately took Wang Zhong out, saying that he wanted to welcome Wang Zhong, and by the way, introduced a new good friend to Wang Zhong.
The two came to Wangjianglou, the most popular restaurant in Yangzhou. Today, the old Wutou and his son are still in charge of Wangjianglou. , all from Xiaozhuzhuang.
In the past Wangjiang Tower was built by Wang Zhong, and Wang Zhong will go to Tokyo for two years, everyone in the building naturally knows Wang Zhong.
Seeing the owner coming over, the largest private room with the best view on the second floor was naturally vacated.
The best private room in Wangjiang Tower is called "Shuitian Yise". As the name suggests, you can see the scenery of water and sky from the window, especially at sunrise, when the sun rises from the east, the entire river is dyed gold.
"I'm really curious. Who is it that can make Zecheng respect his friends so much?" Sitting on the side of the long table beside the bed, Wang Zhong asked curiously.
But Changbai played tricks: "When he comes later, then Cheng will know!"
"Zecheng said so, I am even more curious!"
"Try this sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed!"
The two were chatting while eating and drinking, when suddenly footsteps came from outside, and then Han Niu came in carrying a young man in a dark double-breasted brocade jacket.
"Zhong Huai is here, come, let me introduce you, this is the Prince Hou I often mention to you!"
"Gu Er is so polite!" The person who came was none other than Gu Tingye who had hit it off with Changbai.
"Since you are Zecheng's friend, then you are my friend. There is no need to be so polite. I, Wang Zhong, have thick cursive characters. You can just call me Biaozi."
"I'm Gu Tingye, the cursive character Zhonghuai!" Gu Tingye also introduced himself: "Brother Zihou's name, I've already heard it like thunder!"
"Zhonghuai's name is also very resounding in Tokyo City!" Wang Zhong clasped his hands and laughed.
Gu Tingye smiled awkwardly, cupped his hands and said, "I'm making you laugh!"
"Hey!" Wang Zhong said: "The so-called reputation is just something that people say, it's not clear how much is true and how much is false, and how others talk about it is their business, but sincerity and I have the same temperament, Zhong Huaineng Being introduced as a good friend by Zecheng must also be a person of true temperament, but there is nothing to laugh at about some romantic affairs and youthful wanderings."
Gu Tingye was taken aback by Wang Zhong's words.
Changbai said: "Zihou is right. We get along with each other because we have similar temperaments. What do we have to do with others?"
Wang Zhong looked at Gu Er and said with a smile: "Zecheng respects Zhong Huai very much, and he praised him a lot in front of me before."
Gu Tingye glanced at Changbai, and said to Wang Zhong: "Zecheng often said in front of me that Zihou is both civil and military, with a deep chest, and is very human. When I saw him today, he really is."
Sheng Hong is a smooth and sophisticated person, no matter who he associates with, he always makes people feel happy, but in the eyes of those extremely smart people, it is difficult to get close to such a smooth and sophisticated person.
But Wang Zhong was totally different, he was forthright and frank, outspoken, just talking to him made people feel comfortable.
"Zhong Huai was born in Ningyuanhou's mansion, so he must have won the true biography of Ningyuanhou, and his martial arts is outstanding?" Wang Zhong looked at Gu Er with burning eyes.
It has been several years since he came to this world, and Wang Zhong also met many Jiang Hu people in the Cao Gang, most of them have martial arts, but none of them are advanced.
And Gu Er can be said to be the ceiling of combat power in the original drama. I don't know how his family's martial arts are different from those circulated in the world?
Looking at those star-like eyes and feeling Wang Zhong's scorching eyes, Gu Er was amazed in his heart. The way of martial arts is nothing more than training the body, tempering the muscles and bones, and strengthening the blood. The situation where the eyes are as bright as a big star, Gu Er only heard his father who is not very close mentioned it, saying that his muscles and bones are strong to a certain extent, full of energy and blood, naturally full of energy, and his eyes are like a big star .
It's just that that kind of realm actually appeared in a young man who was less than twenty and only a few years older than himself, how could it not surprise Gu Er.
"It's just that I learned some tricks!" Gu Er was a little confused about Wang Zhong's depth, but he became humble.
Wang Zhong cupped his hands and said, "I have a village outside the city, and I have raised a few bad horses. If Zhong Huai has time, why not go to my village for a few days, and you and I can learn from each other, how about it?"
"Stick what you want, but dare not ask me!"
Changbai next to him suggested: "It's better to hit the sun than choose the day, how about today?"
"Then today!"
The three of them had their meals in a hurry, Changbai sent Han Niu back to report the news, and he followed the two to Xiaozhu Village.
Seeing the martial arts arena that Wang Zhong built behind Zhuangzi, and the seven or eight kinds of weapons on the weapon shelf next to it, Gu Tingye immediately felt his hands itch. He picked up a wooden stick and wanted to compete with Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong also took a wooden stick, and pointed the end of the stick at Gu Tingye: "I'm a guest from afar, Zhong Huai, please!"
"Zihou be careful!"
If it is a comparison, Gu Tingye thinks he is not the opponent of Wang Zhong and Chang Bai.
Speaking of martial arts, Gu Tingye, as the only one in Ningyuan Hou's mansion who has been personally taught martial arts and military art by the contemporary Ningyuan Hou, practiced three nines in winter and three periods in summer, has been ten years since he was five years old, and has never slacked off. Don't think of yourself as inferior to others.
Gu Er strode like flying, after a few ups and downs, he was already in front of Wang Zhong, the long stick in his stick was like a poisonous snake coming out of the hole, running towards Wang Zhong's shoulder.
As powerful as thunder, as swift as lightning, this alone is enough to glimpse Gu Erzhi's martial arts.
If it was against the enemy, Gu Er's stick would not hit the shoulder, but the throat.
But Wang Zhong was not in a hurry, his expression was as usual, he held the stick with both hands, and gently circled his right hand at the end of the stick, and the head of the stick also drew a big circle.
With a bang, Gu Er's stick was separated, and the stick in Wang Zhong's hand was already pointed at Gu Er's throat.
Gu Er stared at Wang Zhong in front of him dumbfounded, and hadn't recovered from this stunning stab.
Changbai next to him was also stunned. Changbai witnessed Gu Er's bravery in the battle against the assassins on the big ship that day.
But the incomparably heroic Gu Er was subdued by Wang Zhong at once?
"Is this marksmanship?"
Gu Er looked at Wang Zhong and exclaimed.
"It's really marksmanship!" Wang Zhong stood up with his stick, and said loudly, "Again?"
Gu Er was not discouraged, he stopped being reckless like before, and carefully started to test slowly with his stick.
……
After two cups of tea, Gu Er had a wry smile on his face, and Wang Zhong bowed his hands and said, "Zihou is very skilled in martial arts, I admire you!"
"It's just how old Zhong Huai is, and it's just taking advantage of his age!"
Wang Zhong smiled, walked over to discuss with Gu Er.
In fact, Gu Er's kung fu is not bad, and his foundation is very solid, but he lacks actual combat experience, and Wang Zhong's various physical attributes are already ten times higher than ordinary people. The so-called kung fu, in the final analysis, is nothing more than strength , response and speed.
Gu Er's physical fitness is almost twice that of an adult. This is due to his lack of age. When he becomes an adult, he will definitely increase, especially his reaction, which is extremely fast.
After some exchanges between the two, Wang Zhong took care of the two, and also learned that Gu Er's martial arts methods are generally speaking, similar to the martial arts practiced by Wang Zhong, there are differences in fighting methods, training methods, and ultimate moves.
The so-called ultimate move does not refer to a certain fixed routine, but a series of instantaneous burst skills, exerting force and mobilizing qi and blood, the effect is very significant.
And Wang Zhong's advice to Gu Er benefited Gu Er a lot. In just a few days, his combat power abruptly rose to a higher level.
A few days later, Wang Ruofu took Sheng Hong with Changbai and his sisters Hualan and Rulan to Runzhou, which is just across the river from Yangzhou, to say goodbye to Changbai's uncle and grandmother.
Old Madam Sheng went to Sanqingguan outside the city to live for a while. Among the Sheng family, there were only a few concubines of Sheng Hong and three children of concubines left.
One day, Gu Er invited Wang Zhong to his home to have a drink and exchange ideas. The two were performing martial arts in the courtyard. Her little mother had a difficult labor, and the second elder brother has already brought the sixth girl to Huichun Hall to invite a doctor!"
"What? Such a big Sheng family, let an eight-year-old girl hire a doctor by herself?"
"Zhonghuai, Uncle Sheng's kindness to me is as great as a mountain, and Changbai and I are inseparable. Now that they are not in Yangzhou, I can't just sit idly by!" After saying that, he put down his weapon and walked out.
Gu Er hurriedly chased after him: "I'll go with you."
"Okay! You and I will go together!" Wang Zhong and Gu Er looked at each other and walked out together.
Just when he reached the door, Wang Zhong suddenly stopped, Gu Er looked at Wang Zhong in confusion: "What else?"
Wang Zhongdao: "Nowadays there are only female relatives in the Sheng family. You and I are outsiders. It would be wrong to go hastily. Now that the old lady of the Sheng family is recuperating in Sanqing Temple outside the city, it is better for you and me to divide into two groups. I will go to the Sheng family. Huai went to Sanqing Temple, and asked Mrs. Sheng to come back. After Zhong Huai saw Mrs. Sheng, he only had to tell the truth, without saying anything, and Mrs. Sheng would make her own decision."
"Okay! I'll go now!"
Even if Gu Erdang ordered people to prepare horses, the two came out from the back door of Bai's house, and the horsemen split into two groups. Wang Zhong led Yu Chuer straight to the Huichun Hall, just in time for Wang Erxi to hold Minglan and drag her away. The doctor came out from the Hall of Rejuvenation with the medicine box on his shoulders.
"Hoo!" Wang Zhong reined in his horse and asked sharply, "What's going on?"
"Brother Wang Zhong!" Seeing Wang Zhong, Ming Lan seemed to have seen a life-saving straw: "Quickly ask Lang Zhong to save my mother!"
"Third Lord, this doctor doesn't want to go to the doctor!" Wang Erxi immediately explained.
"Second brother, give me the sixth girl, I'll go first, you take Lang Zhong, and ride over quickly on the horse of the second grader!" Wang Zhong was on the horse, leaned over and grabbed Minglan's shoulder, and lifted her to his body Sitting in front of him, he beat his horse and galloped away as soon as he gave his instructions.
As soon as Wang Erxi threw Langzhong onto the horse, he immediately got on the horse, followed closely by the horse.
The four of them rode in two, and it only took a moment to arrive at the Sheng's house, but at this time, the Sheng's house was tightly closed.
Wang Zhong stepped forward to call for the door, but there was no answer. Even if he walked to the courtyard wall next to him, he took a few steps back, took a run-up, leaped over the top of the wall, and kicked away the gatekeeper. Opening the corner door, he led Ming Lan and Lang Zhong in.
"This way!" Ming Lan didn't talk nonsense, she led Wang Zhong and Lang Zhong straight to her and Wei Xiaoniang's yard.
As soon as he arrived outside the courtyard, he saw a beautiful woman in a peach blossom skirt and jacket, leading a large group of servants with sticks, surrounded by several maids, and stopped in front.
Minglan explained loudly: "This is the doctor I invited, you guys get out of the way!"
Lin Sushuang didn't say a word, just watched coldly, more than a dozen servants with sticks rushed forward, Wang Zhong let go of Minglan, took a deep breath, and rushed forward with a stride, everyone saw a black shadow flashing in front of her , couldn't catch Wang Zhong's voice at all, but with just one breath, more than a dozen servants and servants flew out in all directions, without even making a scream.
"Ghost!"
Several timid female envoys were frightened and backed away. Even Lin Sushuang was stunned and staggered back a few steps, as if he had really encountered a ghost.
When they were in a daze, Wang Zhong had already dragged Minglan and Langzhong into Wei Xiaoniang's yard.
