24. In the late stage of refining gas, prepare for the ceremony of engagement
Time is like fine sand, half a month passes in the blink of an eye.
As the sun rose, the first ray of purple clouds shone into the small courtyard as usual.
Wei Shuyu, dressed in white and with his hair tied in a bun, was practicing Tai Chi in the small courtyard, using stillness to stop and slowness to hit fast.
The rays of purple clouds penetrated Wei Shuyu's head, exuding purple mist. Wei Shuyu cupped his fists and pushed his palms, forming a pair of yin and yang fish eyes behind him, combining strength and softness!
The higher the sun rises, the light of the purple clouds fades away, the Lihuo of the sun becomes violent, and the speed of practice is greatly reduced.
.
"Huh~" Wei Shuyu took a long breath, the white air was condensed and lingering.
Morning exercise completed.
Wei Shuyu stood quietly in the small courtyard, enjoying the sun bathing. He opened his eyes, the light shone, and felt that the magic power in his body had changed from the previous strands to a stream.
"It's the late stage of refining gas!"
"The peak of the innate human race has a cultivation speed that is sixteen times faster. It has reached the late stage of refining and refining Qi in a short period of time. It is really mysterious!"
Name: Wei Shuyu
Race: Human race
Qualification: Peak of the innate human race (sixteen times increase in practice speed)
Kung Fu: Tai Chi, Baduanjin, Thirty-Six Axes of Tiangang, Seventy-two Maces of Disha, Commercial Technique
Lingbao: Kongtong Seal (the human dragon soul is attached to it)
Number of luck strands: 100400
Wei Shuyu secretly intercepted the Dragon King of Jinghe River and obtained 100,000 pieces of luck. Such a lot of luck can be said to be very wealthy.
Although Wei Shuyu obtained the Thirty-six Axes of Tiangang and the Seventy-two Maces of Earth, he did not practice them.
These two immortal techniques seemed to be tailor-made for Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao, but they were not suitable for him.
Until now, Wei Shuyu has only practiced Tai Chi. Although he has advanced skills in refining qi, he does not know any magical powers.
Wei Shuyu also asked the system if he wanted to exchange the luck rays for practice skills, but the system did not allow it...it could only be obtained by triggering tasks.
This is very depressing.
"Uncle Yu." Wei Zheng, also wearing white clothes, had just finished practicing Tai Chi health-preserving boxing in another courtyard, and his mental state was much better.
"father."
"Change your clothes, and after breakfast, accompany your father to Duke Ying's Mansion."
"Huh? Why are you going to Duke Ying's Mansion?"
"Of course it's an appointment. It's time for Wu Meiniang to marry back. This is His Majesty's will!" Wei Zheng glared, not allowing Wei Shuyu to pretend to be confused.
Wei Shuyu chuckled lightly, "Okay dad!"
As the Fourth Young Master of Chang'an, Wei Shuyu also inquired about the affairs of the dandy circle recently.
Wu Meiniang's two brothers wanted to sell her to a brothel before, but the mother and daughter had long since been kicked out of Ying Guogong's mansion.
Now when I go to Duke Ying's Mansion, I can see no one there.
After finishing breakfast with my dad.
Wei Shuyu called Wei Long.
Wei Long turned into a middle-aged man and lived in the Wei Mansion. He was granted the title of the Dragon God of Human Race Guardian. He cut off the past with the Dragon King of Jinghe River, and no one could understand the secret behind it.
"Wei Long, go and prepare a betrothal gift for me. It will be almost the same as dad's gift."
"Okay, sir."
…
On the way to Duke Ying's Mansion.
The Wei family has a large team and has prepared enough gifts for hiring.
Wei Shuyu whispered to his father about the relationship between Wu Meiniang and her daughter and Duke Ying's mansion.
Wei Zheng couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Is there such a thing?"
"How dare the child lie to his father?"
"So, dad, please go to Duke Ying's Mansion, and I will go and see Yang." Yang is Wu Meiniang's mother.
Wei Zheng thought for a moment and nodded, "If what you said is true, then you should go and see Mr. Yang."
"But we still need to go to Duke Ying's Mansion. Let's split up. Are you prepared for the betrothal gift?"
"Don't worry, Dad, the child has already told Wei Long to prepare."
"Well, it's true that Wei Long is a man who knows how to get things done. Don't worry, Dad."
…
The team from the Duke of Zheng's Mansion, carrying gifts, headed to the Duke of Ying's Mansion in a mighty manner.
Wei Shuyu led a small group of people and walked towards a remote corner of Chang'an City.
Two simple wooden houses in a remote corner of Chang'an.
Wu Meiniang sat under the eaves with her mother, basking in the early morning sun and chatting.
Yang's face looked slightly sad, "It's been more than half a month, why haven't we seen the Wei family come to propose marriage?"
Seeing the sad look on her mother's face, Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Is mother so eager to marry off her daughter? My daughter doesn't want to get married, she just wants to stay with her mother."
Yang held Wu Meiniang's hand and said, "Daughter, don't talk nonsense. How can I stay with you for the rest of my life?"
"You will have a family in the future, a husband, and children, and your family will live a happy life... Mother is in such good shape... I wish I could see you get married."
"Mom has asked someone to inquire. Although Wei Shuyu is unruly, his character is still good. He has won three yuan in a row and is valued by His Majesty... Moreover, Zheng Guogong has a good reputation. If his daughter marries him, he will not be wronged."
"It's just... she's not the main wife, she has a princess, but it will take more than ten years for the princess to get married, so it's okay..." Mrs. Yang comforted her daughter.
Wu Meiniang listened to her mother's words and hid the unwillingness in her eyes deep down. She said it was nice to marry a princess, but in fact she was just a concubine for a trial marriage...
"Alas, a woman's destiny is never something she can control..."
Just then I heard that Wu Meiniang had not come to propose marriage and betrothal for a long time. How could Wu Meiniang not know that even if she proposed marriage to Duke Zheng, she would only go to Duke Ying's Palace and not come here...
It was even said that Zheng Guogong's government did not know that he and his mother lived here.
Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang sighed in her heart, her eyes filled with loneliness... It didn't matter what happened to her, but she shouldn't suffer her mother.
My mother was still thinking long and hard about waiting for Zheng Guogong’s government to come over and apply for the job.
The two mothers depended on each other and sat in front of the eaves chatting.
Wu Meiniang has never met Wei Shuyu, and she doesn’t know what kind of person Wei Shuyu’s future husband is...
The fourth young master of Chang'an stayed in a brothel overnight, and I think he was similar to the two dandy brothers in Duke Ying's mansion.
…
And just now.
In front of the two wooden houses, there was a burst of noise.
"This young master, Yang lives here." An old woman in commoner clothes was giving directions to Wei Shuyu.
Wei Shuyu looked in the direction pointed by the old woman, and saw two extremely simple wooden houses. There was also a field opened in front of the house. Some seasonal vegetables were planted in the field, which was full of vitality.
"The mother and daughter live in a dilapidated wooden house that is almost collapsed. The environment is worse than I thought. Growing up in such an environment, and witnessing countless sinister schemes in the harem, no wonder she will become a ruthless empress in the future!
"Wei Shuyu sighed slightly in his heart.
"Thank you." Wei Shuyu took out half a piece of money from his sleeve and handed it to the old woman as a reward for guiding her.
When the old woman saw half the money, she suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
Wei Shuyu led Wei Long and a small group of people, carrying betrothal gifts, towards the two wooden houses.
From a distance, Yang saw a group of people approaching. The leader was dressed in white and had his hair in a bun. He was as handsome as a stranger, and he was an unparalleled young master. Wasn't it Wei Shuyu who was reading the rankings that day?
Yang knew it was Wei Shuyu, and her face showed joy, "Mei Niang, someone is here, go and pick it up quickly."
"These are people from Duke Zheng's Mansion? Shouldn't they...should go to Duke Ying's Mansion? How could they know that she and her mother live here?" Wu Meiniang looked at the man in white approaching, her expression was startled, and she said silently in her heart.
While Wu Meiniang was stunned, Wei Shuyu had already approached.
Wu Meiniang was wearing a gray silk dress. She was very clean and simple. She had black and shiny hair, which was scattered on her shoulders. Her figure almost reached Wei Shuyu's chin.
Wu Meiniang has a beautiful appearance, with a girl-like appearance, her eyebrows are as heroic as those of a man, her face is fair and lacks a trace of blood, and there is a light red scar on her forehead, presumably from when she hit a pillar before.
What caught Wei Shuyu's attention the most was her pair of eyes, which were so clear and bright, like a calm lake in the afternoon...it couldn't help but attract people's attention...
There was a hint of fear in Wu Meiniang's face, "He is Wei Shuyu? Why is he here today..."
Wei Shuyu looked at Wu Meiniang in front of him, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, and chuckled in his heart, "It seems...she is not the ruthless empress in the future..."
"Wei Shuyu, I have met Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu." Wei Shuyu bowed to Wu Meiniang and Mrs. Yang respectively.
