The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 49: The Uncrowned King 15
Shangjing, Anyangfang, Wei Guogong Mansion.
"This is your grandfather, this is your second uncle and second aunt, you have already met Mingyu, this is your cousin Minggui..."
When the Duke of Wei and his wife returned home with their lost son, they alarmed the entire Duke of Wei's palace.
According to etiquette, the younger generation should go to the elder's residence to pay respects. The elder never takes the initiative to wait for the younger generation. But the Wei Guogong Mansion didn't know whether it was because they didn't pay attention to these things, or because everyone couldn't wait to see Su Ying, so they made an exception. In short, the whole family gathered together, and Wei Guogong's wife Li, with a smile on her face, led Su Ying to recognize her relatives one by one, in a circle. When he got down, Su Ying's hands were filled with greeting gifts from his elders. The old man who was the most generous gave him the land deed of a village.
The second uncle and second aunt were also unambiguous. Although the gifts they gave were all gold and jade, just by looking at the appearance, they knew they were of good quality.
——The second uncle Xu Qing has an indifferent temperament and works in the Ministry of Rites. The second aunt Zhang is from a low background. Her father is a fifth-grade military attache and her mother is from a merchant family. Compared with the noble and gentle Mrs. Li, the Duke of Wei, she looks more cheerful and cheerful.
Cousin Xu Mingyu directly gave him a precious ancient book.
As soon as the book came out, Xu Qing's eyes immediately lit up: "Where did you find this book? It's an only copy I've never seen before?"
——The second master of the Duke's Mansion is also a well-known idiot. He is most keen on collecting calligraphy and painting antiques.
Xu Mingyu obviously knew his father's hobby. He explained: "This is the only copy collected by Mr. Chen, the former censor of Zuodu. After Mr. Chen passed away, the Chen family also declined. The younger members of the family were not engaged in production and were in debt. They were reduced to secretly selling ancestors. I happened to meet people and bought a batch of calligraphy and painting antiques, including several unique volumes. "
"...On the way back, I saw that Sanlang was interested in ancient books, especially travel notes and prose, so I thought of this ancient book. I would like to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha. I hope you like it, Sanlang."
He said to Su Ying with a smile.
"What a situation the Chen family was in when Mr. Chen was here. I never imagined that it would be reduced to this!" Xu Qing suddenly lost interest, but looked at Su Ying with a bright smile, and then at Xu Mingyu who was steady and decent, and he smiled happily again. Get up, "Fortunately, my son, the Xu family, is not so useless..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Qing's expression froze. He couldn't help but cast his eyes on the next boy, who was slightly chubby and had baby fat on his face. At this time, the young man's eyes were wide open, his eyes were wandering, and he was clearly in a state of ecstasy.
He immediately pointed angrily: "I almost forgot, there is this evil obstacle. Maybe one day I will go there, and I will be a prodigal son even worse than the prodigal sons of the Chen family. In the future, I will trouble you, Sanlang, to take care of this evil obstacle and let him As long as we don’t starve to death on the streets.”
"???" The young man who came back to his senses immediately jumped to his feet. He raised his head in dissatisfaction, "Why am I a prodigal? Isn't it just that I enjoy eating and drinking? Why can't you support your son anymore? Is that right? Could it be...you were deceived by someone else?"
As he spoke, Xu Minggui's angry expression turned into suspicion. He reached out and covered his pocket with a vigilant expression: "This is all the allowance my mother gave me. Don't even think about deducting it again! You deducted my money last time , it was all stolen by a scammer who sold fake paintings. I still remember it. I remember it clearly. Don’t even think about defaulting on it!”
Xu Qing: "..."
Xu Qing's face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know whether it was because of embarrassment or anger.
He stood up and picked up a flower branch in the vase.
And Xu Minggui, who was staring at his movements, jumped far away in an instant, as if he had predicted Xu Qing's reaction in advance, and shouted: "Mother, help me, mother! Your precious son is going to be beaten." !”
Su Ying looked at this scene of "a loving father and a filial son" in surprise, but found that the people around him had accustomed expressions. Even the old prince just shook his head in amusement.
Xu Mingyu even smiled and said to him: "Don't look at my father's serious look just now. That kid Minggui is so angry that he breaks his skills. And he doesn't know how many times he has been deceived by the fake calligraphy, painting and antiques outside, and he has been fooled every time." With his level of appreciation, Xu Mingyu didn't want to give him the treasure that he had finally found. It was simply a waste of time.
For a time, the scene was extremely lively.
Even Wei Guogong, who had no expression, smiled.
"You little bastard..." An angry Xu Qing chased his second son around the hall, and was finally grabbed by his wife. He snorted angrily, "Madam, please don't persuade me, this little bastard is getting more It’s becoming more and more lawless——”
"Husband, don't be like this, dad and the others are all here."
What greeted him was a gentle call from his wife, and Xu Qing couldn't help but tremble.
After finally calming down, he looked at the other people present and then at his wife. Mrs. Zhang still looked gentle and gentle, reaching out and patting the folds of his clothes carefully: "Look at you, on your nephew's big day when he comes home, why is it worth making a fuss over trivial matters? What can't be discussed in private? My child. He is so considerate and filial, and uses his pocket money to support his father’s private life, what else do you have to be dissatisfied with?”
Private house? A private house that was defrauded? The private house he worked so hard to save! I used my private room to buy paintings without telling my wife!
As soon as the keyword came out, Xu Qing was like a bolt from the blue.
He looked at his wife's gentle hands patting the clothes, and it always felt like a heavy blow to him.
It's over.
Xu Minggui, who walked around his own father and released the ultimate boss' mother to deal with his father, came back like a normal person.
He came close to Su Ying: "Third brother, I will call you this from now on. The eldest brother is my brother, and the second brother is the elder brother Mingyan of my cousin's family. Their family was released from Beijing. Third brother, you are in my old Xu's house Ranked third in his family tree.”
Before Su Ying could answer, Xu Minggui had already started talking to himself: "I heard from my brother that third brother, you made Xu Mingjin miserable and sent him to jail twice. The first time he was Is it true that the kidnapper was caught?"
"This is not bullying someone, this is using the law to protect yourself." Su Ying spoke confidently, imitating his behavior and leaning in to whisper, "He was acting suspiciously and asked me to go with him. What's the difference?"
Seemingly finding it interesting that Su Ying came over to whisper to him in cooperation, Xu Minggui laughed: "Yes, yes, that guy is sneaky and doesn't look like a good person. The mansion originally arranged for my elder brother to pick him up, but he went there secretly What to do? I can guess what he said. It's just that the family of the Duke of Guo is so high and great, and he has been trained so well as the heir of the Duke of Guo over the years. It's extremely painful to know the truth, and then With a look of self-sacrifice and selfless dedication, I return the position of the Crown Prince to you, hoping that you will not insult the lintel of the Duke's Palace, as if he gave you the position of Crown Prince, is that right? "
Su Ying immediately looked at this cheap cousin with admiration.
——He guessed exactly. In the original destiny, this was how Xu Mingjin spoke in front of the original owner.
As for Su Ying's arrival...
"I didn't have time to hear so much, so I tied the person up first." After saying this, Su Ying actually felt a little regretful, "I would have listened to it if I had known. Now I can see if your guess is correct."
Xu Minggui suddenly became happy.
"Third brother is worthy of being the third brother. He easily accomplished what I couldn't do. I was so annoyed by that kid's open mouth. He kept talking all day long without speaking human words. He only talked about high-sounding truths. It seemed that he was the most polite person. . He always wants to get ahead of me in front of others, and he looks at me like he’s looking at an idiot. He thinks he’s hiding it well, but who can’t see his little tricks? It’s funny that my dad still believes his lies. , thinking that he is really good for me, and so is my elder brother, and he praises him for his knowledge. Isn't it just that he has more ink than me? Scholars are scheming and have a lot of twists and turns, if not for his identity as the prince, and his reputation. This is my cousin, I have already found someone to block him in an alley and beat him up!"
This man talks to the authorities. It clicked like a gun, and in a very short time, Xu Mingjin complained about everything.
"...Now I know, this person is not from the old Xu family. Why does he look hypocritical from the inside out?" Xu Minggui rolled his eyes and smiled at Su Ying again. He showed his white teeth and said, "Next time something good like this happens, third brother, please remember to take me with you. You can tie someone up, but I can hand you a rope and a sack."
Su Ying nodded: "No problem, but we have to wait a year. People can't come out until a year later."
Xu Minggui paused. He couldn't help but look up and take a closer look at Su Ying's face, and found that the expression on this man's face was actually very serious. He actually wanted to take him with him to kidnap Xu Mingjin, and even considered sending him to jail for a year. All he had to do was plan how to stay outside the prison and kidnap someone as soon as possible.
This cousin I just recognized is a bit interesting.
After being surprised, Xu Minggui's smile became even bigger. He sincerely put his arms around Su Ying's shoulders and said carelessly: "I like you, third brother. You are much better than that sanctimonious guy. Are you not familiar with the capital yet? Another day, my brother will take you out to have fun and make friends. Friends, let the people outside know that we, the real prince of the Duke of Wei, should not talk about fake things all day long!"
Hearing what he said, Su Ying couldn't help but ask: "It seems you are very familiar with Shangjing?"
"Of course. Apart from anything else, which restaurant has the best food and which theater troupe has the best show, just listen to me." Xu Minggui assured, patting his chest.
Su Ying suddenly thought of something and asked casually: "Do you know the bookstore in Wuling Lane?"
"Book store?" Xu Minggui's brows suddenly drooped. This asks about his blind spots in knowledge.
He immediately shouted: "No, third brother, I thought we were just the same. Are you going to betray me and join my eldest brother's group of nerds-"
"What kind of person? Betrayed you and surrendered to me?" A voice suddenly interrupted. Xu Minggui slowly turned his head, twisting his neck like a robot, and saw his eldest brother's face of disapproval, "I seem to hear someone wanting to take him with me." Bad Saburo, like him who spends all his time eating, drinking and having fun instead of doing his job? "
Xu Minggui retorted: "That's called enjoying life."
"Ha." What do you call enjoying life? Xu Mingyu sneered. Just as he was about to say something, Su Ying next to him said in an expectant tone: "It sounds like you are really enjoying yourself."
Xu Mingyu suddenly changed his tune: "Since you are curious, Sanlang, it would be a good idea to let this boy take you around Shangjing to see more. As the heir apparent of the Duke of Wei, there is nothing we cannot do as long as we do not commit crimes."
With double standards like this, Xu Minggui was speechless.
"By the way, you just asked about the bookstore in Wuling Lane?" Xu Mingyu didn't care about his younger brother's slander. He added, "I know it is a time-honored bookstore. It has been passed down for hundreds of years. It seems that it was changed more than ten years ago. Got a new owner.”
"If you are interested, Saburo, I will take you there another day."
"I can also take my third brother with me!" Xu Minggui resolutely stopped his eldest brother from wooing his friends from the same country. "Although I haven't been to any bookstores, I know where Wuling Lane is!"
When the two brothers disliked each other, a small round light ball slowly emerged in mid-air:
[Host, I'm back! 】
[——It was suffocating me to create the separation subroutine in the system space. I worked 24 hours a day without rest and worked diligently for twenty days before I was done! 】
The small ball of light flew happily in mid-air, reporting on its work like a social animal who was being squeezed without realizing it: [Now, Li Sanlang has been placed in my separate subroutine space, and according to the host you The one who was told to do this is studying diligently from Enlightenment. 】
Su Ying did not hesitate to praise: "You did a good job. It seems that you still have a lot of potential to tap 333. You can separate subroutines and create a learning system."
[Host, thank you. I still have a lot of room for improvement. 】
System 333 hummed, but the small ball of light couldn't help but sway happily in mid-air.
——One step closer to becoming the host’s most trusted right-hand man, great!
Suddenly, System 333 discovered that the area where One Man Unified was located was not the mountain temple where it was logged in at the beginning, but a magnificent mansion. It subconsciously clicked on the background panel to scan the information of the people around it, and then let out an exclamation.
[These people have a very good impression of you, the host. Could this be the real family of the original owner Li Sanlang? 】
Seeing that everyone in the row had a favorable opinion of at least 80 points, System 333 couldn't help but sigh.
[——No wonder Li Sanlang would rather sign a contract and give up his body to the host to protect his family. 】
Su Ying was slightly startled when he heard its words.
His memory seemed to return to that night in the mountain temple.
Outside the temple, the wind and rain were like a waterfall, and the young man met an immortal in his dream.
"My biological parents?"
Suddenly learning about the existence of his biological parents, he was stunned and stunned. In his dream, the immortal pointed his finger, and scenes appeared in front of the young man's eyes as if in fast forward. In his dream, he seemed to have watched the ups and downs of his life for more than ten years.
He saw that his life experience was revealed, he was accepted into the capital, he enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and received all the love from his family.
He saw that he and Xu Mingjin, who had replaced him for sixteen years, were close to each other, like brothers and sisters, but the Duke and his wife discovered that the other party was plotting behind the scenes and kicked him out of the Duke's mansion.
He saw that Xu Mingjin had gone all the way to high school, was favored by nobles, and became famous all over the capital. He was praised by saints for his answers in front of the emperor, and everyone said that the Duke's palace was missing gold and jade.
He saw that the Duke's residence was in a bad year. Xu Minggui had a fight with other dandy boys and broke his leg. Xu Mingyu went into the water to save people but was relied on. He had to marry a woman who had lost her innocence. From then on, she missed her sweetheart. Xu Mingyu went to the capital to provide relief but met a homeless man. The people are in chaos, and they don’t know whether they are alive or dead...
He saw that Xu Mingjin was rising rapidly and the Duke's mansion was declining day by day. Seeing that the third prince, who had a close relationship with Xu Mingjin, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, but the Duke's Mansion was accused of a bunch of unfounded charges, and the whole family was exiled to the North.
He saw the firecrackers of Xu Mingjin marrying a noble girl on the day he left the capital. Everyone praised him as a lucky star who was born to enjoy happiness. They said that he was a natural disaster star who was born with no luck and was also implicated. The entire Duke of Wei's mansion said that the Duke's mansion didn't know what was good or bad...
Li Sanlang's expression changed according to what he saw in his dream.
Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised, sometimes frustrated, sometimes happy, sometimes painful, and in the end, it all turns into a state of astonishment like waking up from a dream.
"It turns out that I am not the Sanlang of the Li family..."
"My biological parents are Wei Guogong and his wife..."
"They will all be nice to me..."
One thought after another popped up in his mind, making him want to rush out and meet his biological parents right now and experience the family happiness he saw in his dream, but...
"——But I will hurt them."
"So now, are you still willing to agree to the contract?"
the sage in the dream asked with interest.
The young man was silent for a moment: "...Thank you, Great Immortal, for letting me know my life experience, and I also saw my biological parents in my dream. Don't worry, I will not go back on my promise."
"Eh? Are you sure?"
There was deep reluctance in the young man's voice.
"I also want to be reunited with my parents, but I can't...I am stupid and a disaster star. Unlike the son they are raising now, who is smart and capable, and has great luck and blessings, and can be a high official. If they recognize me, they will only be laughed at, and in the end they will be implicated by me as the immortal predicted, and they will not end up well. I don't want this..."
"If they didn't recognize me, would they have been fine?"
He forced a smile, as if he had grown up all of a sudden, and his hesitant tone gradually became firmer: "I already know my life experience, and I know that my parents love me, and that's enough."
"——I am willing to lend you my body."
The boy said firmly again.
"That's right," he asked a little embarrassedly, "you said before that you could fulfill my wish, do you still count?"
"Of course it counts. What is your wish?"
In the dream, the young man bowed deeply, clasped his hands and said, "May the Great Immortal bless my parents and protect them from disasters and ensure a healthy life."
