[Comprehensive martial arts] With the martial arts protagonist

In the following time, Ayu began to wait for Xiaobao's news wholeheartedly. It was not until April that the beggar gang reported that Xiaobao had arrived in Yangzhou. The moment he heard the news, Ayu understood Xiaobao's thoughts. As mentioned above, this time I went to Jiangnan and went to Yangzhou. In fact, part of the reason was that Kangxi gave Xiaobao the opportunity to return home. Under the eyes of the officials, or this is a way for Xiaobao to protect himself. He may be cautious, or he has realized that it is difficult for him to survive in the cracks between Tiandihui and Kangxi, and he does not want to bring his relatives into trouble.

Ayu felt relieved for some reason, or he didn't want to be noticed by others. Being a juror and living a stable life is already the best ending for Ayu. He doesn't even want to be an official, let alone Speaking of being involved in those grievances and turmoil in the officialdom, with this skill, it is better to do something else in a good place. For example, there is a lot of land on the other side of the river. He has been thinking about whether he should also develop something. At any rate, he should draw up more of his own land, and get more benefits before the land is allocated to the mu. Even the uncle's family, he also wants to help get more land. After all, the uncle's kindness in nurturing is To repay.

Just when Ayu thought that there would be no way to meet Xiaobao this time, she stopped thinking and started to tossing the fields, a carriage slowly drove into Qin's Village.

"Sir, someone is looking for you. You look very rich, with a Yangzhou accent, and they say that you are an old friend of yours."

In front of the porter's old Xiang, he hurried to the front yard and reported to Ayu who was drying the medicinal materials. Hearing this, Ayu's heart trembled for some reason, and he turned around in a hurry, and saw a man in a royal blue robe, The young man in the light moonlight mantle jacket stood at the door, his eyes were red, and he was still wiping his eyes with one sleeve. Ayu was suddenly speechless, his lips were trembling, and he shouted in a trembling voice:

"Little treasure."

Yes, this person is none other than Xiaobao, Wei Xiaobao. After six years of separation, the two childhood friends finally met again.Ayu walked forward quickly, not caring about going too fast, knocking over the shelf on the side, and the medicinal materials were scattered all over the ground, and Xiaobao didn't care about wiping her tears. Take a punch.

"Your grandfather, Ayu, when I saw Lao Tzu coming, I didn't know how to greet him quickly. It's too disrespectful to let Lao Tzu come to my door."

He said that Ayu had no loyalty, but he hugged Ayu swiftly and slapped Ayu on the back fiercely.

After the excitement, the two had the time to look at each other, wanting to see how many changes had been made over the years, and the old Xiang on the other side saw this, and knew that the person who came was indeed Ayu's old friend, so he hurriedly and enthusiastically went to the uncle's family to pass on the news. information.Ah Yu's daughter-in-law and child are still at the uncle's house!When guests come to the house, the host always comes back to entertain them, right?

Hearing what Lao Xiang said, the uncle was shocked when he knew that Ayu called Xiaobao, so he rushed to Ayu's place in a hurry, and the uncle asked Dalang to greet Erlang and the others. After all, he was also a playmate when he was young. Come on As a guest, I always want to meet them. It has been many years, and I can see the old people in Yangzhou, which makes them very excited for those who migrated here.

By the time the uncle and Da Lang felt all about Ayu's house, Xiaobao and Ayu had already had a conversation in the main hall, and their expressions returned to normal. After all, they were no longer the children they used to be. , one is already a master of Juren, all adults with status, status, and social experience, how could it be possible that they can't control their emotions.

However, Xiaobao was very happy to see his uncle and the others, he pulled his uncle to sit upright, knelt down and kowtowed neatly.

"Xiaobao kowtowed to uncle and aunt. For my mother's affairs, I let uncle and aunt worry about it. Xiaobao is very grateful."

Although he is not in Yangzhou, there are news from the beggar gang, and he is generous, so he can naturally find out a lot of news. In addition to this time, he has secretly visited his mother and met her. My stepfather also saw the peaceful and peaceful life of my mother, so he naturally understood how much Ayu's family had put in to be the stepfather. Until now, no one knew about his mother's background.Let his mother live a good life for ordinary people, and there is also a dowry from her mother. He is also a person with discernment. After doing the math, he knows that the 1 taels of silver he gave to Ayu is not missing a penny. It became a field, gold and silver, jewelry and so on, and a small box that his mother secretly showed him, and there was a box of gold beads and gold leaves in it.Whether it's on the surface or in secret, there is only more, no less, and he is very considerate even if his wealth is not revealed. Such brothers, such affection, are no worse than blood relatives. Xiaobao is willing to kowtow, This is taking the uncles of the Qin family as their elders and relatives.

Seeing Xiaobao like this, the uncle hurriedly pulled him up, then looked at Xiaobao with a smile, looked him up and down, and then nodded incessantly.

"Okay, okay, Ayu said that you are working in the yamen of the capital, and it can be seen that you are indeed promising. Also, you are clever when you are a villain, and you are in the early days. Has your mother gone there? I can see you Dad, do you have two older brothers? How are you doing?"

Xiaobao didn't know how to answer the uncle's series of questions for a while. He was very smooth in front of those ministers and princes, but he didn't have that tactful sophistication in front of such relatives. It seemed that something suddenly occurred to him, and he grabbed Ayu.

"Ayu, Dalang, I forgot. You come here. I have a gift for you. I forgot about this meeting. Please help me carry it down. It's in the car."

Ayu and Xiaobao were not polite at all. He knew this guy was rich, so he dragged Dalang to work as a porter. Sure enough, there was a big box on the car and carried it to the hall. When Xiaobao opened it, everyone was a little dumbfounded. Jewelry, everything!

Xiaobao immediately came to give a big gift, which is really the style of a local tyrant. Ayu wanted to laugh when he saw it, but he saw an extra agarwood walking stick in his uncle's hand, and a pair of jade bracelets in his auntie's hand. Looking at the quality of the jade, it seems to be jadeite. At this time, it seems that jadeite has not yet flourished, and Hetian jade still dominates the world. Needless to say, Xiaobao also knows that giving something so good will bring disaster to the Qin family. It is rare to know how to restrain himself. Unlike in the book, giving Shuang'er a string of pearls made the monk jealous.

Dalang got a Mongolian dagger, Erlang got a jade Guanyin pendant, Sanlang got a jade wrench, and the children each had their own gifts. Xiaobao coaxed Qin Shi to call his brother, and happily gave him a whole set of lake pens. , others can't see it, but Ah Yu can see that the value of this set of pens is definitely not lower than that of the jade pendant, let alone a wood carving of Wenchang Jun who is said to have been consecrated, this is boxwood!It is definitely not cheap, even the uncle knows it is a good thing when he looks at it.

As for Ayu here, let alone, everyone will understand after seeing him take out a box carefully, but Ayu and Xiaobao have the best relationship, they just want to watch the fun with a smile, no one is jealous, this thing is not jealous Come on, this is the fate between people, isn't it?

"Ayu, look, this is a set of gold needles and silver needles. They said that you are opening a medical clinic now, and your medical skills are very good. I thought, since your medical skills are good, the natural instruments should also be good. Otherwise, wouldn't it be Is it not worthy? So I specially made such a set for you from the imperial hospital. I heard that only the fifth-rank imperial physicians are qualified to use the imperial palace. Of course, don’t worry, those things that were originally taboo I sent people to go, you can use it with confidence, and I also brought you a lot of medicinal materials, all of which are given by others, and I don’t need them, I will give them all to you, whether it is saving people or collecting them, I will give them all to you .”

That box was full, just like what Xiaobao said, it was full of medicinal materials, when Ah Yu saw it, her eyes were about to pop out, who gave them all, all of them were rich people!The delivery is also quite obscene, look at the ginseng, deer antler, and ganoderma lucidum are still reliable, how come there is even a tiger penis, is this to make Xiaobao have a nosebleed?No, Xiaobao seems to have a lot of daughters-in-law, so it is probably applicable.

Thinking of this, Ayu couldn't help but glanced at Xiaobao secretly, seeing that he didn't have any other expressions, so she simply pretended that she didn't know anything, and took them all over.

"Well, I can't buy these usually. It's really good. This ginseng is old enough. It's definitely a good thing to save people. By the way, my son and daughter, what are you doing as an uncle?"

Ayu is different from others, you don't have to be polite, just speak directly, and his wife, Yaomei, wants to pinch someone, but Xiaobao doesn't care, looking at the two children nestled in the uncle's arms with a smile, stretching out his hand to touch the child's head. After a few moments, he joked:

"Ayu, your speed is fast enough. Fortunately, I have a lot of money, I have a good way of making money, and my fortune is shining, otherwise I won't be able to give gifts."

Showing off his rare literary talent, Xiaobao took out a set of miniature four treasures of the study, dangling in front of Ayu,

"Look, it's specially made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's used by the children of the nobles in the palace. How about it? It's suitable! And this, look, and this, a whole set of small bowls and chopsticks, silver, light and Bo is also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, am I being considerate? Nephew, follow uncle. Uncle is better than your father. Your father is just a little old man. I don’t know how to torment you in the future, just like tormenting uncle back then. Miserable! Look, uncle, is there a lot of good things here? There are more in the capital! Take your pick!"

Seeing Xiaobao take out the things from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that he mentioned in a flaunting tone, Ayu didn't respond, but the uncle and the others were terrified.

"Little Treasure, how did you get this thing? Don't make any mistakes, don't make you lose your job just to give gifts. If so, how can we afford it?"

As soon as the uncle said this, Xiaobao also knew that he seemed to scare the old man a little bit. In the eyes of ordinary people, isn't it a big deal to have a relationship with the royal family? With his own words, he waved his hands nonchalantly and said:

"It's okay, there are a lot of these things in the capital! It is said that they belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and are specially for the palace, but in fact, anyone with some status can get them in this capital. After all, it is impossible to make these things for only one or two For example, if you do a lot, it is common for them to leak out, and if you change the style after a few years, then it will be better in one or two years, and after a long time, these things will not be so in the capital. It’s taboo, as long as it’s not a dragon or a phoenix, no one cares, don’t worry, uncle, if it’s a taboo thing that can’t be used, I can’t get it either, don’t worry, this is a gift for my nephew and niece, by the way , and Dalang, Erlang, you have children too, and this meeting ceremony is also indispensable. Look, I have prepared a lot of this longevity lock and silver collar, just for fear of missing someone. I heard that we were in the wild together back then. The playmates all got married one by one, and I didn't get to drink the wedding wine, so I brought some things this time, which can be regarded as making up for the congratulatory gifts."

Xiaobao dismissed all this with a few words, and the uncle couldn't take care of it for a while, and was busy answering Xiaobao's questions. The parents of the east and the west talked briefly about the situation of each family over the years. The current prospects of the children struggling to earn money with Xiaobao, while Ayu grinned silently, secretly picked in the box, and hung them directly on the children when she saw good ones, even the one born in the Erlang family was also covered. He bought a silver bracelet and a silver bell, and you are not welcome at all. Saburo, who was watching, snickered, and waited for A Yushun to bring him a wood carving of Guanyin, and immediately held it in his hand happily. His wife is about to give birth. Things are auspicious!Ayu has seen the world, so the ones he picks out will naturally not be bad.

Ayu knew that when Xiaobao came this time, he only brought more things, not less. He must have thought that he didn't know the situation, and he would rather bring more than less. For Xiaobao, in his growth experience, Probably only these friends around Ayu have never discriminated against him and played with him. Naturally, he regards these people as his real childhood friends. No matter how long or short they are together, they can’t change him. Positioning in the heart.Now that he has money, he doesn't lack these things, but he still lacks friendship and family affection. In officialdom and palace, there are too many falsehoods and too little true affection.

"How did you choose!"

Xiaobao spoke naughtily from behind Ayu, obviously wanting to scare Ayu, not wanting Ayu to turn his head to look at him, then rolled his eyes, and said:

"Why don't women use it? Didn't you see that your sister-in-law doesn't have much jewelry, and I was thinking about looking for it from you. I'm really disappointed."

Xiao Bao was choking, he really hadn't had this experience in the past few years, it seemed that he was back in his childhood, when he was wandering around the streets of Yangzhou with Ayu, he touched his nose, without saying a word, he took out a When the box came, Ah Yu grabbed it and opened it. There were three silver hairpins and one gold hairpin inside, either with gems or pearls. Ah Yu took a gold hairpin from inside and stuffed it into her daughter-in-law's hand. The ones arrived in front of Da Lang, apparently for the three brothers to choose by themselves, one for each family.

Ayu is a Juren and a scholar, and his identity is different from that of Dalang and others. Common people, that is, ordinary people, cannot use gold hairpins and gold hairpins, but Ayu's daughter-in-law can, so he knows the silver hairpin at a glance. The hairpins are for Da Lang and the others, but the gold hairpins are for my own family. This is useless even if you are jealous, this is class.Of course, Dalang and the others didn't mean to be jealous, and each of them was very happy to take it casually, and they didn't show any kindness to Xiaobao. Even Sanlang said on the sidelines:

"Little Treasure, my son is about to be born, so you have to give it too. From the birth gift, to the third day, the full moon, the hundredth day, and the first birthday, it's all in one go."

Xiaobao raised his eyebrows when he heard it, reached out and patted Sanlang on the shoulder, and said:

"Never mind anything else, what you said makes sense, but it seems that I am not your brother-in-law, the Yue family, why do you want me to give it to you, why don't you let your daughter-in-law call brother to listen first? Boy, are you better than me?" I'm still young, but I'm going to be a father, it's too enviable, no, let me give you a kick to relieve my hatred first."

The two of them became annoyed for a while, Ayu felt as if it was the same as before, she laughed from the bottom of her heart, and by the way asked her daughter-in-law to clean up the guest room, preparing to let Xiaobao stay.Only then did the uncle think of ordering some good food and wine to entertain Xiaobao.

After the uncle arranged to separate the family and went to the residences one by one, except for Ayu's house, which was not very lively during the Chinese New Year, it immediately became noisy again. Those who went to kill chickens, sold meat, tossed wild vegetables, and went to various houses. Women are even more busy buying other vegetables. They have to put their children in order, and put all the gifts they have received at home to hide them. Xiaobao brought them from the capital. Heavy, not to mention that each piece is either gold or silver. You can tell it's a good thing just by looking at it. These individuals probably don’t understand any of them, so it’s better to be more realistic, give some practical things, not only look good, but also make the recipient happy, if it’s true, among these gifts, apart from those medicinal materials, there is only Ayu The two sets of silver needles and gold needles cost the most money. It is impossible to get a thousand taels of the special equipment for imperial doctors.Others, even those inlaid with precious stones, don't dare to use too good ones, they are only a hundred taels of stuff at most.

After the meal, all the children from those years who were notified came over, and even the adults from those families came to join in the fun. They were all very happy to see the old people in Yangzhou back then, not to mention that Xiaobao is here now. Now that he is an errand in the capital, everyone smiles at Xiaobao. Although Xiaobao's satin is unavoidable here, it is still very harmonious in general.

Xiaobao was very happy talking and laughing with those little friends. When talking about the things at the beginning, even if it was embarrassing, now he just feels happy. Although he has hardly seen those old people, after all, children have children's affairs. Adults have their own affairs. At that time, almost everyone was busy with eating. It was impossible for adults to pay attention to every partner of their children, and it was impossible for children to visit every house. But now, all of this has disappeared. It doesn't matter anymore, under the offensive that Xiaobao hardly has a gift, it seems that everyone is very familiar with Xiaobao back then.

Ayu couldn't help but shake his head while watching, and thought in a blink of an eye, maybe this is the spiritual comfort that Xiaobao needs. For him, Yangzhou, except for the life in Lichunyuan, there is almost nothing worth remembering. The capital, except Intrigue is intrigue, and it is always full of hypocrisy and cunning. Only here, in front of those former partners, can he feel that he is still an ordinary person, with friends, neighbors, relatives, and fellow villagers.

Thinking of this, Ayu didn't care anymore, but just wanted to help everyone, whether tomorrow will be the same as before, everyone will get together for a getaway, then go hunting in the mountains, and then go to the river to pick asparagus, just like the old days It's the same as crossing the border and stealing on the edge of the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou City.

This proposal has been approved by almost everyone. Now life is better, and there is no trouble of not being able to eat, but it seems to be a lot less interesting. Think about the time when a group of children secretly went to places that were not their own territory to dig vegetables to earn money. , I feel like laughing.

Xiaobao suddenly turned his head to look at Erwa, who was already in his teens, and asked strangely:

"Erba, will you still be that lookout this time? I always remember that you kid was just playing with rocks at the corner of the street, and you got a share, which made me always want to be a child."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone in the room laughed, but no, Erwa’s task at that time was to play with rocks and watch the wind, and the only requirement for him was to cry when someone came. Speaking of it this way, it seems that the original thing is still in front of us Same, Erwa's face was as red as fire with embarrassment.

It was Xiao Bao who couldn't help but sigh with emotion at this time:

"It's been six years in a blink of an eye. Thinking about it, it seems like it's still in front of us. At that time, we roasted bamboo rats, sold stinky tofu, and worked hard to earn a few more copper coins every day. Now that I think about it, it's really hard work, but how do I I felt really happy at that time!"

The words were a bit confusing, but everyone could hear the exhaustion in Xiaobao's words. Everyone seemed to feel Xiaobao's difficulties in the capital instantly. No one spoke, and they all became quiet all of a sudden. No matter how it was at the beginning, each one of them can still help each other and support each other. Think about Xiaobao's prosperity in the capital alone, with no relatives. How difficult it must be when he comes back to see everyone .

In the end, it was Ayu who broke the weird atmosphere, clapped his hands, and said to everyone:

"Okay, we've already taken the presents, and we've also taken advantage of the big family's bargains. Let's go home, wash up and sleep. It's early tomorrow morning, but we have agreed to come here to gather, fight together, and go up the mountain together. If you don't come, according to the previous rules, you will be punished with a big top."

At this point, everyone laughed again. The trick of using the big top has deceived many people. Whoever uses the big top will be tickled by others. The one who did this bad thing is Xiaobao!

Watching the crowd disperse, Xiaobao turned to look at Ayu, stretched out his hand and punched Ayu on the shoulder, then walked towards the guest room with his arms open, and said as he walked:

"I wanted to sleep with you at first, just like I used to squeeze with you on the big kang of your house. Fortunately, I reacted quickly. Now that I think about it, you are not alone now. You have all your wives and children. Man, Emphasizing sex over friends! Nature! I have seen it through, it seems that I am still miserable! I can’t sleep alone!”

What answered him was a shoe flying from behind, and Ayu's rare roar of embarrassment.

This night Xiaobao slept very sweetly, and seemed to be smiling in his sleep, Ayu was even more happy, and woke up before dawn the next day.This is the first time that the pig's feet who left their company in the plane can meet again. The six years apart seem to not only not make the friendship fade away, but on the contrary it has become more mellow!
