Chapter 15: Playboy ()

Time flies, and years pass by in a hurry. In the blink of an eye, it is another spring March.

Jiangning, the south of the city, the Treasure King Temple.

I don’t know how the incense here used to be, but now it is abandoned. The mud idol with broken legs is crooked and the curtains are so dirty that it can’t be seen. On the altar, there is a ragged pottery bowl filled with half a bowl of soil, but there are three incense sticks as thick as fingers. The fragrance has been lit, and there is little blue smoke. In front of the altar, there is a chair with half a leg missing, and two bricks are placed in the place where the leg is missing.

On the chair, there was a stout boy of a tall figure, seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a silk jacket that was not old, with a grass in his mouth, and holding a short-handed military knife that was circulated by the folk. He sneered in the direction of the temple gate with a cracked mouth, making the face with a half-foot scar even more ferocious. Behind him, there were twenty or thirty boys of different ages, eighteen, nine, and small. Everyone had a bit of cold expression, except for the pretty boy standing behind the chair. He looked worried in his eyes, lowered his head, and whispered to the boy on the chair: "Brother, don't use the knife, what should I do if I get into a lawsuit?"

"Don't talk too much, do you want me Zheng Laohu to be a small person? If you can't live for one's life, who's afraid of someone!" said the scar-faced boy viciously.

"But mother..." The pretty boy had to say something again, but was covered by the sounds coming and falling around him.

"Second brother, don't worry, our fists are vegetarian? Humph, those guys don't come. If you dare, our brothers will not beat him to death!"

"That's right, we have been roaming Nancheng for several years and are so carefree that we dare to post casually. What's wrong with practicing for us?"

"Birdman, I thought our Nancheng Tiger Gang and the North City shit were like those of the shit. I could swallow it if I wanted to, and I didn't look at how big his dog's belly was!"

As he was talking, he heard the sound of horse hooves gradually sounding. It seemed that someone was riding a horse to the ruined temple.

Although the boy said ruthlessly, he was all in his heart. The Tiger Gang dominated the Nancheng City. Although there were thirty or forty people, the number of people in the North City Heroes Association, which was destroyed seven days ago, was no less than that of them. The eldest brother of the Heroes Association, Wei Xin, was the youngest son of the Wei family in the north of the city. The Wei family was the largest gentry in Jiangning. Three acres of land outside Jiangning City had to be from the Wei family. The silk of the Wei family was directly supplied to Jiangning weaving, and the eldest son of the Wei family served as an official in the Weaving Mansion. The family power was not comparable to that of the children of ordinary people.

Outside the temple, four fast horses arrived in a flash. A few young men jumped off the horse's back, three of whom were smiling, one looked up at the sky with a angrily eyes. Among the three smiling boys, two were eleven, two were two years old, one was fourteen, and five. Among the two young men, one was a little weak, and the other was a tiger-headed and stubborn. The tiger-headed and stubborn turned around and smiled at the slammed boy, "I am willing to accept the loss. Wei Wu, since you are defeated by my brother, you should be my brother's eldest follower willingly. Although you are not a slave, you have signed a contract. Is there a slave who gives the master such a look?" Although he had a smile, his eyes were a bit ruthless, and in the end he was scolded.

The boy who looked up at the sky suddenly turned pale after hearing this, and he was stunned and didn't know what to say.

The 14th and 5th young man said seriously: "According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, since he has signed a contract, even his biological parents cannot interfere. If he disobeys his master, he will only be punished if he is worth a silver medal!"

The angry boy was full of grief and anger, but he had to bow and said, "It's all slaves, right? Please forgive me, Master Gu!"

Another eleven or two-year-old slightly weak boy smiled and waved his hand: "Get up, they are all my own people, what are you thinking about! Cao Song and Gu Na, don't scare him anymore." He felt funny in his heart, afraid that he would not know the details of the grief, anger and grievance when he saw Wei Wu, he would definitely think that he was a domineering playboy, and Cao Song and Gu Na were their own traits.

The angry boy was Wei Xin, the boss of the Heroes of the City North who was once arrogant in Jiangning City. Although he was not very old and only seventeen years old, he helped the boy make trouble in the north city.

The old man of the Wei family was willing to discipline his young son, but he was afraid. He was always pinched by his wife before he could have sex. It was a good thing that Wei Xin was young, but he just brought a group of kids to fight. Now, as he grew older, some bad gangsters began to instigate him to do something to bully men and dominate women. Fortunately, the people of the Wei family were watching him closely and nothing big happened. However, the Wei family did not dare to let go. If something really happened, let alone the reputation of the Wei family, even Wei Xin's life would be difficult to protect.

The eldest son of the Wei family was named Wei Ren, whose courtesy name was Fengyang. He worked as a senior official in Jiangning Weaving Mansion. Although he was only a sixth-rank official, he was highly valued by Cao Yin for his capable work.

Since Cao Yan moved to the outer courtyard four years ago to "seeking one's own residence", he began to practice both civil and military practice. In terms of literature, he continued to study in the clan; in terms of martial arts, in addition to insisting on training and strengthening one's body every day, he also began to practice martial arts with several worshippers from the Cao family. The part of riding and shooting was taught by Cao Yin himself. Cao Yin originally did not want his son to be addicted to martial arts, but when he saw that he set his new residence as "seeking one's own residence", he knew that "it was better to seek one's own residence than asking others", he felt guilty and could not bear to blame him.

What Cao Yan did was just to be able to protect himself in times of crisis, to strengthen himself, to learn swords and riding and shooting to defend himself. From the beginning to the later running and running with weight, Cao Yan challenged his physical limits again and again. Whenever he was exhausted, he would look at the plaque "Seeking for Yourself" and recall the pain of broken legs and sound after being kidnapped that year. If he could not learn how to defend himself, he would have to rely on bodyguards to protect the hospital in the future and control his life in the hands of others, which was something he did not want to. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

I still have to read books, but Cao Yan didn’t have the idea of ​​taking the top scorer. In the Qing Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of children were awarded the scholars, tens of thousands of scholars were awarded the juren, thousands of scholars were awarded the juren, and hundreds of scholars were awarded the juren. One in tens of thousands of opportunities was that Cao Yan had a good memory, but he did not have the confidence to make a standout eight-legged essay. Reading was just to increase your experience and to disperse the fatigue caused by physical overdrawing.

"Seeking Myself" is adjacent to the Cao family's schoolyard. In addition to Cao Yan, the maids Hui Xin and Anxiang followed here to serve. Hui Xin was Dai Mao, who changed his name because he wanted to avoid the treasure name of the maid in the old lady's courtyard. Cao Yan asked her and knew that his real name was Feng Manlan, so he chose "Hui Xin" in "Lan Zhi Hui Xin" to make her a new name. The tea crystal pointed to Cao Yan by the old lady was pointed to by the old lady. Because Cao Yan thought she was not good-natured, he took the excuse to send her to Chun Nuanju. In order to prevent the old lady from pointing to her maid, Cao Yan begged to make up the little maid Luo Mei, who helped Hui Xin. The old lady thought Luo Mei was not good and changed her name to "Anxiang". When the yard in front was cleaned up, Cao Yan moved out of the old lady's courtyard with Hui Xin and Anxiang.

Cao Song from the Western Palace heard that his brother was learning martial arts and came over to follow the class every day. He was tired of studying and seemed to prefer various sweating exercises. Knowing that Gu Na was in the Cao family, Cao Song even pulled him over. Cao Yong was lukewarm at first, and he had no mood or time to coax this slightly awkward child. Later, he learned about his marriage to his mother and found that he was confused and panic that he had inadvertently revealed, so Cao Yong couldn't be more ruthless. After all, he was a child. He experienced the loss of his father and his mother and was in a situation where he was living under someone else's roof. It was normal to have some awkwardness, so why bother with him? Thinking of this, he became kind to Gu Na.

Although Gu Na was awkward, he was not a fool. Naturally, he could understand Cao Yong's concern. Although he was still faint on his face, he gradually relied on him in his heart.

Cao Yong, Cao Song and Gu Na went to the clan school together and wrestled and fought together in the school field. Four years passed in a blink of an eye. Although the professors had the same master, the three of them had different martial arts. Cao Song only practiced attacks, fighting faster and more fiercely than fists; Gu Na only practiced defense and rarely took the initiative to attack. Cao Yong was different from both of them, practicing both attacks and defense.

At first, because of his young age and weak strength, Cao Yong could not even beat a guard. A year later, he was able to attack a guard and win both attack and defense. No one would give in to him just because he was the young master of the mansion, because Cao Yong would take out a few silver ingots as a lottery every time he competed with the guard. Those who won had to buy wine, and those who lost had to wash the other guards for half a month of smelly socks.

A year later, one against two, and in the next three years, the numbers gradually increased. It was not until a few months ago that five or six guards could not leave Cao Yong, and Cao Yong's school life came to an end. Being able to enter the Cao family to be a guard has a little bit of real kung fu at hand. Although Cao Yong does not have any magical internal strength or peerless skills, with his flexible skills and sufficient physical strength, it is not easy to practice such close-fitting skills.

After the school life was over, Cao Yong became a little confused and didn't know what to do for a moment. Cao Song and Gu Na lost the interest of playing swords when they saw that Cao Yong did not go to the school. Cao Song spent all day long, and wanted to find Yuzi to "do a hero" and act as a "hero"; Gu Na held books every day, and in addition to studying the homework in the school, he also had to complete the homework left by Zhuang Chang.

Because Cao Song didn't like to use the Cao family's banner, he suffered a loss not long after and was beaten to the bruised face by the gangster outside. Cao Song loved face and refused to let the servants help him, so he came over to ask his brother to vent his anger for him.

Cao Yong felt sorry for Cao Song and wanted to try the skills of outsiders, so he went there happily. Unexpectedly, one-on-one-to-ten defeated the other party easily. Cao Song thought it was fun, so he took these people to set rules for his younger brother, and returned the place to purify.

When the incident reached the Weaver Mansion, Cao Yin and Zhuang Chang thought it was just a child's messing around and did not take it seriously. The Cao family's tutors were there, and Cao Yong was introverted, and the two brothers had their own composures. Not to mention a group of hooligans fighting, even masters were not afraid, because since four years ago, two masters from the Cao family had secretly protected by Cao Yong, there would be no trouble. Only Wei Ren thought of his younger brother, and when he moved, he asked Cao Yong to teach Wei Xin a lesson in private. At that time, even if his mother wanted to stop him, she would not be able to do so.

Wei Ren was a subordinate of Cao Yin and was very familiar with Cao Yong and Cao Song brothers. Although Cao Yong was unwilling to be troublesome, Cao Song heard that the boss of the Heroes Association in the North of the City were to teach him a lesson, so he naturally wanted to try and circled around his brother all day long. Cao Yong was so tired that he agreed. In the past three days, Gu Na investigated the members and appearance rules of the Heroes Association and formulated a corresponding "annihilation" plan.

On the ninth day of the 44th year of Kangxi, at the south market in the city, Cao Yong, Cao Song and Gu Na came forward and led the Heroes Club and their group to the uninhabited alley. A quarter of an hour later, the Heroes Club disbanded, and Wei Xin, the boss of the Heroes Club, fulfilled his contract and signed the contract for sale after being defeated.

Although Wei Xin was impulsive and was willing to sign the contract with consent, he thought that the hero he had relied on for many years would disappear like this, how could he be willing to go home and gathered 20 or thirty thugs to protect the hospital and find a place to angrily. As a result, no surprise, the Wei family fell to the ground, and Cao Yong and others won. When the noise was too big, the Wei family cried and told that the old man of the Wei family had already obtained the letter from his eldest son. He knew that the other party was the Cao family's son, so he pretended to take people over, and pretended to apologize in panic. Finally, he returned home because of "scared" and "serious illness", and he was determined to implement the family law on his youngest son who "beated the Cao family's son" and "caused a catastrophe to the family". Mrs. Wei did not dare to persuade him anymore, and Wei Xin was also scared and obediently allowed his brother to send him to the Cao family to be Cao Yong's eldest son.

Wei Xin went from an arrogant and domineering young man to a young child younger than him, and he was disappointed. In the Cao Mansion, when he saw Cao Yong chatting and laughing with his elder brother Wei Ren, he acted like making friends, Wei Xin knew that he had been fooled. You know, but the boys of the Cao family took the initiative to challenge things, and after a big fight, he suffered a loss. Whatever "causing a catastrophe to the family" was nonsense. Thinking of this, he became angry and ran back home.

Although Mr. Wei couldn't bear to give up his son as a servant, he also knew that if he let him continue to make trouble, he would sooner or later cause a big disaster. It would be better to be on duty in the Cao Mansion for a few years, and then he would be weak and seek fame through the Cao family in a few years. Therefore, he made up his mind and tied up and sent it back to the Cao Mansion.
