Chapter 101, Times Come and Go
On the eaves of the main entrance of Bo's Mansion, Shi Dingxuan stands against the wind.
When Shi Dinghao saw Shi Dingxuan coming, he was overjoyed and forgot to dodge. He was slapped on the back by Mr. Zhao and flew out.
When Shi Dingxuan saw that his younger brother was not flying, his eyes sank, and he jumped straight to attack Mr. Zhao.
Feeling the fierce aura coming, Mr. Zhao immediately turned serious.
The two of them, like a tiger descending a mountain, leaped like a lion, their fists slammed into each other in mid-air with the sound of piercing the air.
"boom!"
The powerful impact directly caused the two of them to bounce back.
Shi Dingxuan spun rapidly in the air and retreated to the eaves. The next moment, several tiles fell to the ground.
Eldest Master Zhao stepped back a few meters, leaving a long scratch on the ground.
With a hasty blow, they separated in an instant, and the terrifying impact erupted made the scene suddenly quiet.
"Brother, he hit me, beat him down quickly."
Shi Dinghao's loud accusation broke the silence in the air. He was photographed more than ten meters away by Mr. Zhao, and he was sitting on the ground at the moment, looking a little embarrassed.
"Brother, beat that fake brother out."
Young Master Zhao shouted not to be outdone.
Shi Dingxuan and Mr. Zhao are both staring at each other, their faces are very solemn, and at the same time, their eyes are shining with the excitement of meeting their opponents.
Looking at each other for a moment, Mr. Zhao said first: "Let's have a discussion?"
Shi Dingxuan: "Okay."
As soon as the voice fell, the two immediately attacked each other.
By the time Shi Fuxin and the others arrived, the two had already fought inseparably. The two figures intertwined, because the speed was too fast, everyone could only tell who was who by the color of their clothes.
Evidently the two were unarmed, but they played with the excitement and tension like swords and swords.
This scene stunned everyone in the Shi family.
The eldest son of Zhao, Zhao Shengming, is a well-known young general in Dachu. At the age of eighteen, he was proclaimed by the emperor as a third-rank Zhaoyong general. With his superb martial arts skills, he became famous on the border when he first entered the battlefield.
But at this moment, Shi Dingxuan was playing on par with him.
Although the Shi family started with martial arts, it has been passed down to the old lady Shi, and is already developing in the direction of inheriting poetry and books. In the Zhengzi generation, the eldest son Shi Zhengmao knows some martial arts, and the other sons are all gone. Reading way.
When it comes to the Dingzi generation, even fewer learn martial arts.
At this moment, the ones who can fully see all the moves of Mr. Zhao and Shi Dingxuan are Shi Fuxin, Shi Fuyin, and Shi Dinghao.
Although the others couldn't understand it, they could tell from the aura exuded by the two in the sparring that Shi Dingxuan was not at a disadvantage.
After hearing the news, Mr. Shi and Mr. Shi Wu who hurried over saw this scene, and were even more shocked in their hearts.
Among the onlookers, Niu Jiaoyu, who was invited by Master Shi Qi to teach Shi Dingxuan, was also full of excitement. Although from his usual contacts, he had already learned that Shi Dingxuan's martial arts would not be too bad, but he never thought that It will be so powerful.
Master Zhao, that is a peerless young general who can hold a thousand catties in his hand. It is said that he has entered the realm of ninth-rank warrior as early as two or three years ago.
Shi Dingxuan was able to fight him evenly! !
Could it be that Shi Dingxuan's kung fu has also entered the realm of a ninth-rank warrior?
When the others were shocked, Shi Dinghao got up after falling down on the ground and recovering: "Brother, avenge me, beat that person to the ground~"
There was a loud and long ending, with both hands raised high and still shaking excitedly. Seeing Shi Dinghao like this, Shi Fuxin and Shi Fuyin, who were going to check on his injury, stopped at the same time.
With so much energy in the middle, there must be nothing serious.
Obviously, Mr. Zhao was very measured in his shots, and he didn't intend to hurt Shi Dinghao. The previous palm was just to repel him.
When Shi Dinghao was shot flying, Young Master Zhao was very proud. Seeing him get up again, he shouted for revenge, and he also shouted to Young Master Zhao: "Brother, don't be too polite, give me the fake brother too!" Fly."
"Keep your mouth clean, who is the counterfeit?"
"You are a counterfeit, you have tarnished my reputation and even won me Yubaicai, you should fight."
"You can still have a reputation like you? Put gold on your own face. You lost the jade cabbage to me. If you lose, you have to admit it. I really look down on you. If you lose, you will go home and sue. Move in My lord, you are just a baby who hasn't been weaned yet."
"You are just a milk baby. I have a brother. I was bullied. Why can't I find my brother? You were beaten, didn't you also call your brother? You have the nerve to talk about me."
In front of the uncle's mansion, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Shi Dingxuan fought hard, while Mr. Shi Dinghao and Mr. Zhao stood on each side, dancing and exhaling to each other.
The posture, the degree of devotion, the two elder brothers who are not inferior to sparring, the angry expressions on their faces are even better.
"Counterfeit, if you are sensible, hurry up and apologize to my young master, and then return my jade cabbage. The previous matter, my young master will not bother with you."
"Fuck, what are you daydreaming about? I have never pretended to be you. I also won the jade cabbage in an open and honest manner. It is impossible to return it to you."
"How dare you, my father is Governor Huaiyuan."
"My father is still the hero who set fire to Beiyan's granary."
"My brother is a powerful young general, invincible in every battle."
"My brother is a hero who sneaked into the rear of Beiyan University, successfully rescued his father and gave Beiyan a hard blow."
Seeing what he said, Shi Dinghao had something to say back to him, and Young Master Zhao was extremely depressed.
He was depressed, but Shi Dinghao was happy: "Hey, keep talking, who else is in your family, tell me, let me see."
In the gate of the Uncle’s Mansion, seeing Shi Dinghao has been provoking Young Master Zhao, the fifth master Shi was a little unsteady, and wanted to go out to stop him, but was stopped by the old master Shi.
"Father, Jiulang's words are too outspoken. If he continues, he will definitely annoy Young Master Zhao."
The old master Shi's eyes were always on Shi Dingxuan and Mr. Zhao: "Jiulang and Mr. Zhao are just children's jokes, don't take it seriously."
Master Shi Wu was silent, and glanced at Shi Dingxuan and Young Master Zhao who were still fighting: "Father, are we really not going out to stop them?"
Grandpa Shi: "Wu Lang is sixteen this year, and Mr. Zhao is already twenty. Now that Wu Lang and him are on equal footing, if we show up, he might feel a little bit sorry for himself."
Master Shi Wu nodded hastily after hearing this: "Father is more thoughtful." The people outside the door are all children, and embarrassment in front of children cannot be compared with embarrassment in front of adults.
While speaking, there was a sudden 'crash' sound.
The two of them took a closer look, and it turned out that it was Mr. Zhao and Shi Dingxuan who flew onto the eaves and stepped on the tiles on the eaves, causing the tiles to fall to the ground.
Shi Dingxuan and Mr. Zhao didn't want to cause damage, so they fought a few tricks on the roof, and then quickly jumped from the eaves.
The moment they jumped down, the two threw their fists at each other again.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Fist and fist collided, but there was a sound of explosion, and the powerful impact made the two of them rebound and retreat several meters before stabilizing their bodies.
Outside the gate of the uncle's mansion, Mr. Zhao and Shi Dingxuan stood facing each other.
The two stared at each other, and after a while, Mr. Zhao raised his fists and said, "Zhao Shengming."
When Shi Dingxuan heard this, he cupped his fists and said, "Shi Dingxuan."
After exchanging surnames, the atmosphere changed from the solemn and tense before, and became soft and relaxed.
Young Master Zhao walked towards Shi Dingxuan with a smile: "I admire the strong man who took the risk and set fire to Beiyan's granary. It's too presumptuous to come here today. If you come again next time, my dear brother, please introduce me to your father." .”
Obviously, he heard the conversation between Shi Dinghao and Young Master Zhao just now.
When Dingxuan saw that Mr. Zhao was polite and courteous now, he had a better impression of him, and quickly said: "You should sweep the couch to welcome you."
"I won't bother you today, and I'm leaving."
Eldest Master Zhao smiled and nodded with Shi Dingxuan, then turned around and walked towards Young Master Zhao, and then pulled Young Master Zhao into the carriage of the Zhao Mansion.
"Brother, where is my jade cabbage?"
Master Zhao looked at his angry younger brother: "Jade cabbage is the lottery, your brother and I didn't win, so naturally I can't ask for it."
Young Master Zhao frowned: "Brother, can't you beat the fake brother?"
Master Zhao pinched the right hand that was touching Shi Dingxuan. At this moment, his entire right arm was numb.
What a strong internal force!
"Didn't I tell you not to tell others to be fake? The fourth house of Shi's family came back from the northwest border and entered Beijing on the same day as us. The people below wanted to curry favor with father, so they mistook Shi Jiulang for you, not him. To impersonate you."
"Then forget it?"
"But I can't beat it." Zhao Xiaogong looked depressed, "Hmph, Jiulang was really annoying at that time. I had an older brother, and he had it too, and he was as good as you. No wonder he was so arrogant."
While the two brothers were talking, Zhao's carriage slowly drove out of Changle East Street.
Watching the carriage go away, the Xu family of Yong'anbo Mansion next to Wuchang Uncle's Mansion and the Fang's family of the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment felt a little disturbed by Shi Dinghao's voice.
Old Uncle Xu looked in the direction of Uncle Wuchang's mansion, and sighed a little: "The Shi family had the wrong child, and they were often laughed at, but I didn't expect that family to be so important."
Master Zhao, that's not someone who is trying to catch fame, but a young general who has actually fought on the battlefield.
Shi Goro, who had just been brought back from the Shi family, was able to tie with him! !
It's too surprising.
"Shi family. Is this going to turn around?"
"I really look down on that guy Zhao Shenghao. If he can't win, he runs home and complains. If he has the guts, he should practice hard and then come back to find his place."
"But he, as soon as he turned his head, he went to find his brother."
"He has a brother, don't I have one?"
Shi Dinghao cursed and followed the crowd back to the uncle's mansion.
Master Shi Wu looked at the angry Shi Dinghao, hesitated for a moment, and still couldn't help asking: "Jiulang, you were slapped by Mr. Zhao, are you okay?"
Shi Dinghao smiled and shook his arms: "Uncle Wu, I'm in good health, I'm fine."
Shi Dingxuan looked over and said, "That's Mr. Zhao holding back his hands. He's going to use all his strength. You have to lie on the bed." As he spoke, he slightly moved his right arm that collided with Mr. Zhao. It hurts so badly.
Shi Fuyin noticed his strangeness: "Brother, are you alright?"
Shi Dingxuan shook his head: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
Shi Fuxin took over the words: "It's nothing serious, it's just that I can't move my right arm."
Hearing this, Master Shi Wu just wanted to ask a few questions, when Jin Yuee, who was waiting at the side, rushed over with a worried face, pulling Shi Dingxuan and Shi Dinghao anxiously to look him up.
"Mother, we're fine, just sparring with Mr. Zhao." Shi Dingxuan quickly comforted him.
Shi Fuxin broke the stage with a smile: "Brother's arm can't move anymore."
Jin Yuee's complexion changed, without saying a word, she pulled Shi Dingxuan and walked towards Yiguiyuan: "Go back with mother to get the medicine."
Shi Fuyin, Shi Fuxin, and Shi Dinghao hurriedly followed.
Looking at the five mother and son who just left everyone behind and left alone, Mr. Shi Wu and the others looked at each other in dismay.
How did Jiulang know Mr. Zhao, why did Mr. Zhao lead Mr. Zhao to the door, and why Wulang's kung fu is so good, they all want to know these things right away.
"Why did you leave without saying a word?"
Although everyone in the Shi family was anxious, they all had a tacit understanding and didn't go to Yigui Courtyard to remind them.
Today Shi Dingxuan gave them too much shock, even Shi Dinghao also surprised them a lot.
The two people who thought they didn't know anything, turned out to be too strong. This change is too big, they have to take it easy.
Madam Shi immediately sent a message to her husband. If it was someone else, there was no need to be so anxious, but it was related to the Zhao family. Governor Zhao was likely to be appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, so she couldn't help but ignore it.
Sure enough, as soon as Shi Zhengmao, who was in the Ministry of War, received the news, he immediately rushed back to the uncle's mansion.
Back to the uncle's mansion, after hearing the cause and effect, he immediately sent someone to Yiguiyuan to invite Jin Yue'e and others to Yixiangtang.
Jin Yue'e's family knew that people from the uncle's mansion wanted to ask about the Zhao family. It happened that Shi Dingxuan had already applied the medicine, and the pain in his right arm was no longer so painful, so the family went to Yixiangtang together.
"What did you say, you were the one who helped Dali Temple arrest the three Jiangyang thieves?"
Shi Zhengmao looked at Shi Dinghao in a daze.
Shi Dinghao nodded: "Those people offered me money, and I couldn't refuse. Because of this, Zhao Shenghao said that I impersonated him, and I was too wronged."
"It was the first time I entered the city that day, so I don't know which onion it is."
"Even if he is the governor's son, I don't need to pretend to be him. It's not like I haven't seen the governor before, and it's not just their family. I think it's rare for others."
Hearing this, Mrs. Shi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "What other governor do you know?"
There is nothing that cannot be said, Shi Dinghao replied directly: "Governor Cai."
Mrs. Shi still wanted to ask how she met, but when she saw Mrs. Shi glanced at her, she had to swallow the words in her mouth.
When the old lady brought the topic back to the Zhao family: "What did Mr. Zhao say that you won his jade cabbage?"
Shi Dinghao immediately told vividly what happened in Shuji Luxiang that day.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that everyone's eyes were on the jade cabbage on his waist, and his expression suddenly became vigilant: "This is mine."
Shi Fuxin on the side also turned sideways, covering her body with a jade cabbage with her sleeves.
This pair of jade cabbages is not only full of water, but also lifelike and exquisitely carved. Both Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao like it very much.
The small actions of the two were noticed by Mrs. Shi and the others.
Shi Dinghao declared again: "I won this."
Shi Zhengmao corrected, "That belongs to Young Master Zhao."
Shi Dinghao: "It used to be, but he lost to me, so it's mine."
Shi Zhengmao didn't continue arguing with Shi Dinghao, but looked at Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi: "Father, mother, although the impersonation has nothing to do with Jiulang, he is the cause after all, so I think we still have to go to see him." Go to the Zhao Mansion and explain this matter clearly."
Shi Dinghao quit: "Explain what? This has nothing to do with me. I said I was pretending to be Zhao Shenghao, and I said he was pretending to be me."
Shi Zhengmao was not familiar with the newly returned nephews and nieces, and it was difficult to preach for a while, so he could only look at Jin Yuee, hoping that she would talk about his son.
Jin Yue'e noticed Shi Zhengmao's eyes, but she couldn't understand it, so she pretended not to see it, and turned her head aside.
When Shi Zhengmao saw her, he thought she didn't want to care about it, and suddenly felt a little depressed.
Mrs. Shi thought for a while, and said: "The jade cabbage that Jiulang won is not ordinary at first glance. It should have special meaning to Young Master Zhao, otherwise, he would not have called Mr. Zhao to ask for it. It's best. It's better to go back."
Hearing this, Shi Dinghao quit immediately: "Why should I return the things I won openly and aboveboard?"
Shi Zhengmao explained patiently: "Just because the Zhao family is a family of first-rank officials, and now they are gaining the favor, it is not something that the Bofu can offend."
Shi Fuxin, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up: "Uncle, let alone we are the one who is not at fault at all, it's just one or two small things, it can't be said to offend the Zhao family."
"Although Young Master Zhao is a little reckless, he is not a domineering person. He is willing to admit that he lost Yubaicai. Even if he wanted to go back, he didn't use his strength to find him. He just called his brother over and prepared to win back."
"As for Mr. Zhao, after fighting with my brother, he left without saying anything. It can be seen that he is also a sensible person."
"None of them spoke. We really don't need to make a fuss here."
Shi Zhengmao looked at the twins of the fourth brother's family. This was the first time he took a serious look at these two children.
Seeing the two of them looking at him without fear, with a look on their faces that they were right, Shi Zhengmao raised his eyebrows.
Bold and unruly, it is a bad habit to refute elders in public.
Just when Shi Zhengmao was about to talk about Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao as an uncle, Mrs. Shi spoke.
The old lady Shi looked at Shi Dingxuan, and asked with concern: "Wu Lang, did you get hurt when you sparred with Mr. Zhao?"
Hearing this, Shi Fuxin muttered softly: "Finally someone remembers to care about my brother."
Shi Dingxuan replied: "Grandfather, I'm fine."
Old Master Shi: "Young Master Zhao is famous for his innate supernatural power. If you get hurt somewhere, don't be embarrassed. You must ask the doctor to take a look."
Shi Dingxuan replied again: "Don't worry, grandfather, I'm really fine."
The old lady Shi nodded, and then looked at Shi Dinghao: "You kid, you were slapped by Mr. Zhao, but seeing that you are still so energetic, you probably didn't get hurt."
Shi Dinghao nodded with a smile: "Grandfather, I am in good health."
Shi the old man smiled: "Have a good body. Only with a good body can you do things well and live a good life. Your body is the most important thing."
After caring about the health of the two grandsons, the old man did not get to the point: "Zhao's residence, I still have to go there. I have to explain clearly about the impersonation. As for the jade cabbage, you can figure it out yourself, Jiulang."
Shi Dinghao was still unwilling, and just about to say something, he saw Shi Fuxin tugging on his sleeve.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
"Young Master Zhao and Young Master Zhao can get along and go to the Zhao Mansion. Our current social circle is only limited to the Bo Mansion, which is too narrow. There is no harm in getting to know more people."
Shi Dinghao thought for a while, then nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense." Then, he coughed twice, "That's fine, my brother and I will go to the Zhao Mansion to explain. "
Hearing this, Shi Zhengmao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up immediately, and was about to take Shi Dingxuan and Shi Dinghao to the Zhao Mansion immediately.
The old lady raised her hand to stop him: "There is no need to be in such a hurry, after Zheng and Xia come back, you can go together." After finishing speaking, she looked at Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao who started biting their ears again.
