Chapter 268 The Master's Wife Has Arrived
People may not have deep feelings for Da Shun, but as people under Da Shun's rule, they have vested interests.
Yan Nanxing, Ye Liuyun, and Sun Shiwei are all from the military system.
Pei Zhuangbai and the other two were also deputy commanders of the garrison; the six of them were directly engaged in military service.
Jin Xiangyu and Su Zhixiu run a large business guild, and their ability to make money depends on the stability of public order.
As for the Tong family, if they were to actually arrive in a chaotic world where all order had collapsed, who would be willing to pay money to learn skills?
After hearing Zhuang Sheng's complaints, everyone fell silent for a moment.
He was already somewhat drunk when he picked up the wine cup from both ends.
"Gentlemen, why are you thinking so much?"
"The imperial court has dozens of provinces, and now it has only lost one province, Jiangbei Province. Does it still have an advantage?"
"Come, come, Brother Yang, today is your housewarming day, let's not talk about state affairs, let's drink..."
Everyone raised their glasses together, and soon, through toasts and exchanges, the heavy atmosphere from before was lifted.
They drank until late into the night before finally deciding to leave.
Yang Silang personally escorted everyone to the gate.
Ji Jinliang hugged Yang Silang and cried bitterly.
"Brother Yang, I went to the outhouse but accidentally wandered into the kitchen."
"Do you think I saw someone?"
"I saw that great demon Granny She, dressed as a maid, with three heads and six arms."
"Two arms toss the wok, two arms wield the spatula, and the other two arms plate the food..."
"Waaaaah... I was so scared I peed my pants."
Yang Silang thought to himself, "This is bad."
Grandma She originally intended to use three people for tonification.
He forgot to transform back into human form and frightened Pei Shihou into a beast form; only later did he realize that transforming back into human form would result in him being squeezed for a lot of weight.
This incident is a nightmare that haunts Ji Jinliang.
He had been very careful to hide She Nu well, but who would have thought that Ji Jinliang would accidentally stumble in.
Su Zhixiu, standing nearby, expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Brother Ji, you've had too much to drink and your eyes are playing tricks on you."
"Grandma She died without leaving even ashes, how could you possibly have seen her?"
"And they even have three heads and six arms to toss the wok, stir-fry, and plate the dishes?"
"If it really is her, wouldn't she have poisoned us all and wiped us out?"
Ji Jinliang gave an embarrassed smile and stammered.
"Yes, yes, I must be seeing things."
Yang Silang breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful glance at Su Zhixiu.
After seeing everyone off.
He returned to the courtyard.
She Nu rushed over to apologize.
"Master, this really isn't my fault..."
Yang Silang waved to indicate that she was alright.
"That was an accident; luckily, the guy was drunk."
"Aren't you supposed to have three heads and six arms? You tidy up this main room, and I'll call you a helper."
With a wave of his hand, Shu Miaosheng appeared out of thin air.
"She Nu, let me help you too..." Shi Xuangu swung her short legs and ran over.
She was different from when she descended in spirit form a few days ago.
Last time, Grandma Shi Ji Tianjing taught her the art of transformation.
Shi Xuangu is now in human form. A completely flesh-and-blood body.
Apart from a faint amber sheen on his skin, which makes him look different from ordinary people, there are no other abnormalities.
The Flying Thunder Stone within the silver frame of the iron chain hanging from Yang Silang's waist was empty; it had vanished without a trace.
Because Shi Xuangu has now become a human-shaped flying thunder stone, running around happily on the ground.
She Nu turned her gaze to Da Qing in the stable.
Daqing turned around and exposed his big buttocks to the outside.
You guys were tasting dishes and drinks in the kitchen, but I didn't even get to taste a single bite of meat. Why was I included when you were doing the work?
Ignoring the infighting among his demonic pets, Yang Silang turned and went to the adjacent side room.
on the bed.
The little girl is sleeping soundly.
She's still too young to endure such hardship.
Fifth Sister was still dozing off, propping her head up with her hand; she had indeed stayed up too late tonight.
Under the candlelight.
Sister Yang was carefully sewing a pair of insoles, occasionally yawning.
Yang Silang has now practiced the "Observing the Mountain" archery technique, and his eyes are like rulers; he can tell the size of a target with just one glance.
"Sister, why strain your eyes doing this?"
"They sell them everywhere outside, just buy them with the money."
Sister Yang raised her head and bit off a piece of thread.
"That's different. Nothing you buy outside can compare to the care I put into making it for you."
"Little brother, you've really grown up." Sister Yang's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and her voice trembled with emotion.
"Young man, do you know that the news of your passing the imperial examination has been sent back by fast horse?"
"The alley is almost trampled to pieces by those people."
"If it weren't for Li Erhu, Xiong Shan, and Zhu Tong guarding the front and back alleys, countless people would have come to offer their family property."
"By the way, even in our hometown village, some clansmen built cenotaphs for our parents, and even repaired the old graves."
"There are also those who send their daughters and sisters to the mansion overnight, not asking for any official title, but only wanting to be a maid who warms their feet."
"Several young masters even wanted to marry me as their principal wife, not minding that I had been a concubine and had a child..."
"But I'm not stupid. I know what they're after, so I refused them all."
"Even my fifth sister has a son of a deputy general who wants to marry her, but I said we have to wait until you come back to decide."
Yang Silang said slowly.
"I'm sorry to have frightened and worried my older sister. You did the right thing."
Sister Yang stopped crying and started laughing.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"Many people come to my door, practically wearing down my threshold, but they're doing it to ask for my help, not to harm me."
"You have brought honor to your family and your ancestors."
"They say that passing the imperial examination for military officers is like being descended from the heavenly star of war."
Yang Silang laughed heartily.
"There are just too many Martial Stars in the sky. There are so many of us in our year."
At this moment, Yang Wumei also woke up.
The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Yang Silang, who had been in seclusion for several days.
I've been busy entertaining guests all day and haven't had a chance to speak with anyone.
Strictly speaking, this is the first time they have been alone together since they separated more than six months ago.
"Fourth Brother... I don't want to marry the son of the Deputy General..."
Yang Wumei pouted and said coquettishly, "I heard that young master is a lecherous devil who often spends the night in brothels."
"I don't want to be with him."
Yang Silang laughed heartily upon hearing this and instinctively reached out to pat Fifth Sister's head.
He discovered that the little sister who had fled with him and lived in a shack back then, who had looked like a short stick, had now grown into a graceful seventeen-year-old girl more than four years later.
He was taller than the eldest sister when he stood up, but half a head shorter than Yang Silang.
He then patted his fifth sister on the shoulder.
"Fine, if you don't want to get married, then don't."
"I'll think of a way."
"It's late, you should go to sleep..."
Sister Yang grabbed Yang Silang's hand.
"Little brother, my fifth sister and I have discussed it."
"We've already familiarized ourselves with the place since we came up here, and we'll be leaving in a few days."
"I'm not at ease with the few maids watching over the courtyard in Gongzhou Prefecture."
"Fifth Sister also said she wants to go back to the martial arts school to practice boxing as soon as possible."
Her voice gradually faded.
"Young man, everyone you know here is either rich or powerful."
"We can't help you here, so we might as well go back and be at ease."
What she really meant was that she was afraid they would become a burden to Yang Silang, causing him to be ridiculed.
But then he thought that no one would dare to laugh at Yang Silang tonight; everyone would fawn over him.
It seems my little brother has really made something of himself.
Yang Silang was not surprised by his elder sister's request.
The eldest sister stayed in Gongzhou Prefecture for more than ten years, and the younger sister stayed for more than four years. Their relationship was firmly embedded in the local soil of Gongzhou Prefecture.
How can you just leave like that?
"Okay..." Yang Silang readily agreed, "I'll have Da Niu accompany you back another day."
"I'll go home for the Chinese New Year in a few days, and then we'll come up together after the New Year."
Sister Yang and Fifth Sister were overjoyed to hear this, and with no more worries in their hearts, they relaxed immediately, yawning and opening their mouths incessantly before each finding their own pillows and beds to drift off to sleep.
-
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was March of the seventy-fourth year of Yongchang.
This day.
Yang Silang was practicing his martial arts in the front yard.
The flying thunderstone hovered above his head, and countless tiny purple lightning bolts descended from the sky, striking his body with a crackling sound.
It was as if a dazzling cocoon of lightning had formed on its body.
However, no matter how much lightning the Flying Thunder Stone tilted, the layer of lightning cocoon on his body remained exactly the same.
Because he continuously controls the opening and closing of the pores on his entire body, he incorporates wisps of lightning into his body.
A large amount of true qi surged out from the dantian and flowed through the twelve meridians.
During this time, the second heart, formed from the yellow jade fruit, beat continuously within the internal organs, pumping out yellow primordial energy that merged into the true energy.
The lightning within his body continuously added to the circulation of true qi.
At the same time, wisps of lightning joined the circulation of true qi in the twelve meridians.
With all three methods employed, once the entire cycle of Qi is completed, the true Qi returns to the Dantian, becoming several times stronger, with effects far exceeding those of ordinary Qi circulation.
A rumbling sound, like thunder, came from Yang Silang's abdomen.
The spirit and perception in the Niwan Palace are observed internally.
Within the spine, the bone marrow rises and falls like a dragon soaring, its color a pure gold.
Even the breath he exhaled from his mouth and nose was a long bolt of lightning.
It wasn't until much later that Yang Silang slowly finished his practice.
A thought struck him, and a screen of light appeared before his eyes.
[Skill 1: Great Five Elements Strength, practiced five times a day, 400/2000.]
[Skill 2: Five daily training sessions of the Great Five Elements Fist, 360/2000.]
Yang Silang nodded slightly.
"With the help of the Thunder Essence Golden Body Technique, four months of cultivation is two and a half times faster than daily cultivation."
"At this speed, there is hope that he can become a Grandmaster of Golden Marrow within two years."
"However, I also need to cultivate other techniques, so it may take more than two years for me to actually break through, which is acceptable."
"I wonder if, when I break through, Grandpa Fu Liunian will still be stuck at the last step."
He was pondering when he heard another commotion coming from next door.
This residential area is considered a gathering place for prominent figures in the provincial capital. Next to it is a three-courtyard house belonging to a retired official of the third rank who was serving in Beijing.
When this high-ranking official first started out, his courtyard was only two sections. Later, as his official position rose higher and higher, he bought the neighbor's courtyard and incorporated it into his property.
Although it's described as having three courtyards, the backyard is actually huge with multiple houses and a garden, making it a true mansion.
This big shot sold his house a few days ago for reasons unknown. It's said that he was ill and couldn't stand the cold winter here, so he moved south.
A few days ago, brokers brought all sorts of clients to see the house every day. Everyone was satisfied with the house, except for one thing—it was too expensive.
It was suddenly sold out two days ago.
The commotion today is because they are moving furniture and other items inside.
Yang Silang looked up and saw the head of a maid with double rings peeking out from outside the courtyard wall. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old, very beautiful, and was secretly looking at him.
Startled by the sight of everything, the girl stuck out her tongue, gave an awkward laugh, and tried to back away, but lost her footing.
With a loud bang.
The heavy object fell to the ground, and the maid cried out a few times as she tried to get up.

Yang Silang smiled and didn't take it seriously.
He was so engrossed in his practice that he would be alerted if someone looked at him maliciously, and it was impossible for him to be distracted and observe his surroundings all the time.
"Tomorrow, have Da Niu find a craftsman to raise the wall..."
Yang Silang was pondering a plan.
There was a loud knocking on the gate outside the courtyard.
"Master...open the door...your disciple has come to seek refuge with you..."
"And, Master's wife is here too..."
Through the door.
Yang Silang sensed the blood and energy of the two people outside and his face paled.
Good guy.
Fu Hongying, do you really have to be so unfair to your teacher?
Are you sure you brought your master's wife and not her enemy?
What's the meaning of you bringing Consort Hu here?
