Wang Gang went to Shou'an Hall for several days to practice martial arts under the guidance of Master Liao.
Master Liao did not teach Wang Gang any boxing techniques, but only asked him to do some basic exercises to strengthen the body, such as horse stance and stone lock lifting.
These exercises all have one thing in common, that is, they are boring and boring, and it is difficult to produce results in a short period of time.
Ordinary children may not be able to stand it after practicing for three to five days and clamor for the master to teach them new things.
But Wang Gang is not an ordinary person. He fully understands the principle of how tall buildings rise from the ground. No matter what boring exercises Master Liao assigns to him, he will complete them meticulously.
Gradually, Master Liao, who had always had a cold face, looked at Wang Gang with gentle eyes.
Everyone likes students who are talented and hard-working, and Master Liao is no exception.
A few days later, in addition to teaching Wang Gang martial arts, Master Liao also began to teach him reading.
Wang Gang discovered that Master Liao was not only excellent in martial arts, but also in literary attainments. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was full of knowledge.
The more he came into contact with him, the more surprised Wang Gang was about Master Liao's origins. He could never be a servant of Yongyi Marquis.
Wang Gang also made some inquiries about Master Liao's origins. Unfortunately, this man was ignorant. Apart from teaching Wang Gang, he didn't say a word.
Because Wang Gang spent more and more time in Shou'antang, for the sake of convenience, the old lady asked him to stay for dinner.
When Wang Gang saw Master Liao and Mrs. Sheng eating at the same table, he was also surprised and became even more curious about their identities.
Perhaps because they had been together for a long time, Wang Gang noticed that Mrs. Sheng's attitude towards him had changed somewhat, and she would also greet her during meals.
When Wang just started eating at Shou'antang, he found that the food at the old lady's place was relatively light, with porridge and vegetables as the main meal every day.
It's not that the old lady has no money, but that her eating habits are rather light.
Wang Gang once tentatively asked "Can I eat meat?"
As a result, the food at the old lady's place changed the next day, and every meal must have meat.
Through this incident, Wang Gang knew that the old lady was gradually falling in love with him.
On Lin Sushuang's side, Wang Gang continued to give her some advice, asking her to coexist peacefully with the people in the Sheng Mansion, to go to the old lady to pay her respects when she had nothing to do, and to maintain good relations with Sheng Hong's other wives and concubines.
Wei Xiaoniang has been living in fear every day these days. Lin Sushuang comes to see her when he has time, supervises her walks after meals, and sometimes chats with her.
Sheng Minglan was happy. Ever since Wang Gang stood up for her, Xiaoniang Wei's treatment in the courtyard has skyrocketed.
There was constant fire and wine and meat every day, which made Xiao Minglan's face look round.
Lin Sushuang sometimes comes over and brings her daughter Mo Lan so that the two sisters can connect with each other.
Originally Sheng Molan looked down on Minglan, but after being taught a lesson by Wang Gang, Molan became honest and could only accept Minglan as her half-sister.
Sheng Hong has been living extremely comfortably these days. The woman in the backyard is stable, and he is active at work during the day.
Only Mrs. Wang was a little jealous when she saw Lin Sushuang and Wei Xiaoniang getting closer. She made a few small reports in front of Sheng Hong, which made Sheng Hong disgusted.
Seeing this, Lin Sushuang felt that her son was right. As long as what she did made Sheng Hong feel comfortable, she would inevitably be doted on.
Sure enough, during this period, Sheng Hong stayed at Lin Sushuang's place almost every day, and Madam Wang saw several torn handkerchiefs.
On this day, Wang just finished his martial arts practice and was about to drink some water and study the Four Books and Five Classics in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, his eldest brother Sheng Changbai brought someone to see him.
"Third brother, let me introduce a friend to you!"
When Wang Gang saw the person coming, he felt a surge of hatred in his heart, but it quickly dissipated.
The hatred belongs to the original Sheng Changfeng, and Wang Gang will naturally not be influenced by it.
Wang Gang recognized that the person brought by Sheng Changbai was the culprit who gave Sheng Changfeng a beating.
At the Najib Ceremony in Sheng Hualan, Sheng Changfeng had a conflict with a young man brought by the Earl's Palace. The two competed in pot throwing, using Sheng Hualan's betrothal goose as a bet.
For such a ridiculous thing, although Sheng Minglan stepped in to turn the tide in the end, Sheng Hong was still very angry and severely punished Sheng Changfeng, so Wang Gang replaced him.
The person Sheng Changbai brought was Bai Ye, who was gambling with Sheng Changfeng.
"So you are Chang Bai's younger brother." When Bai Ye saw Wang Gang, he looked higher than his head and did not take him seriously.
Wang Gang knew that the Bai Ye in front of him was none other than Gu Tingye, the male protagonist. He changed his name to Bai Ye and went south with the people from the Earl's Palace. In fact, he wanted to take over his grandfather's inheritance.
Gu Tingye is the second son of Ningyuan Houfu, and his mother's natal family is the Bai family, a famous wealthy businessman in Jiangnan.
The old man of the Bai family had only one daughter in his life, so the family property would inevitably fall into the hands of outsiders. Before he died, he wrote a will and entrusted someone to give it to Gu Tingye, so that he could go south to receive the inheritance.
Gu Tingye was worried that the Bai family's subordinates would jump over the wall, so he changed his name and surname, and went south with the people of the Earl's Mansion, escaping many pursuits.
Later, he had a grudge against Sheng Changfeng in Sheng Mansion, but he admired Sheng Changbai's talents very much and became good friends with him.
Sheng Changbai was a humble gentleman. When he was a child, he was sent to stay with his grandfather, Mrs. Wang, for a period of time. Not only was he highly educated, but his character was also unparalleled.
After he heard about the conflict between Bai Ye and his younger brother, he wanted to be a peacemaker.
"Chang Feng, you and Brother Bai don't know each other before fighting."
Sheng Changbai naturally didn't know that his brother had just said that he wanted to kill him not long ago.
"Changbai, you and your brother are not biological brothers!" Bai Ye said suddenly.
Sheng Changbai had no palace in his chest and said directly: "Changfeng is the daughter of my aunt Lin, and I have the same father and half mother."
Bai Ye said disdainfully: "It turns out he is the son of a concubine."
Gu Tingye was born in the Marquis Palace and was considered a legitimate son. Naturally, he looked down upon the concubine of a minor official. He met Changbai, on the one hand because he admired his talent, and on the other hand because his grandfather was Mrs. Wang.
If it were the former Sheng Changfeng, if he heard Gu Tingye say this, he would have jumped up long ago. Even if he didn't fight with Gu Tingye, he would have retorted.
It's a pity that Wang Gang didn't pay attention to Gu Tingye at all, he just saluted Sheng Changbai and then left.
The disregardful attitude immediately aroused Gu Tingye's dissatisfaction.
He is a young prince, so he should look down on you, but a bastard dares to ignore him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu Tingye got angry, grabbed Wang Gang's shoulders and said: "Stop."
Wang Gang suddenly stopped and said without looking back: "Let go of your hand."
Gu Tingye sneered and said, "So what if I don't let you go."
Wang Gang suddenly took a step back and threw his shoulder. Gu Tingye felt a strong force coming from his right hand and involuntarily threw it away.
"Hey!" Gu Tingye was surprised, and then he realized that Wang Gang had some skills.
Who is Gu Tingye? He is the second son of Ningyuan Houfu. He has practiced martial arts passed down from his family since he was a child. Otherwise, he would not dare to go south alone to seize his grandfather's inheritance.
He didn't pay attention just now, his hand was thrown away by Wang Gang, and he immediately lost face.
Wang just raised his feet to leave, but Gu Tingye became angry.
"I told you not to leave." Gu Tingye punched Wang Gang directly in the back.
Sheng Changbai was shocked. He didn't expect that Gu Tingye and his brother would start a fight if they disagreed.
But he was more worried about his younger brother. After all, Gu Tingye was much older and much taller than Wang Gang, so he would naturally suffer in a fight.
It's a pity that Sheng Changbai didn't know that Wang Gang had never been afraid of anyone in a fight.
Wang Gang didn't even look back. He used his short stature and nimble movements to get into Gu Tingye's armpit. Then he hugged his arm and used force on his waist to perform a standard over-the-shoulder throw.
Anyone who has ever experienced a shoulder fall knows that when a person lands on his back, the weight of his body will increase the impact force, which is extremely lethal. If an ordinary person were to do this, he would be stunned even if he died.
After all, Gu Tingye was the prince of the Hou family. He knew something was wrong when he was in mid-air. He twisted his waist and turned around, trying to land on the ground feet first to increase the cushioning force.
At this moment, Wang Gang took half a step back again, and the center of his whole body moved backward. Gu Tingye was unlucky, his body was pulled again, his steps were unsteady, and he hit the ground directly.
"Hiss..." Gu Tingye felt severe pain in his knee and took a breath of cold air.
Wang Gang did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him. After all, the opponent was the prince of the Hou family. If he did too much, he would cause trouble.
Sheng Changbai hurried to Gu Tingye's side and asked with concern: "Brother Bai, are you okay?"
Gu Tingye gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but his knees hurt too much and he couldn't stand firmly. It was Sheng Changbai who supported him so that he wouldn't be embarrassed.
"What's that move of yours called? Why haven't I seen it before?" Gu Tingye stared straight at Wang Gang.
Wang Gang said coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about."
After saying that, Wang Gang ignored Gu Tingye and left.
Gu Tingye wanted to stop Wang Gang and compete again, but his knees were too painful and he was not able to walk at the moment, so he could only watch Wang Gang leave.
"Changbai, I didn't expect that your Sheng family comes from a scholarly family and your martial arts are also good." Gu Tingye turned to Sheng Changbai and said.
"What are you talking about, Brother Bai? My brother has only learned martial arts for two days, what kind of martial arts does he have?" Sheng Changbai asked confused.
When Gu Tingye heard this, he became even more interested in Wang Gang.
