Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

"Xie Qikun, Yangzhou's water and fertilizer are good for people. I haven't seen you for two years and you've gained weight." Wei Xiaobao said jokingly. As he spoke, he looked Xie Qikun up and down, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

When Xie Qikun heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he always felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning hidden behind these words.

He apologized hastily with a smile: "Lord Wei, you are joking. Although Yangzhou is rich and prosperous, I only ask for vegetarian meals. I have not gained weight, I have not gained weight..." He tried hard to explain that he did not become fat because of the wealth of Yangzhou.

"Hehe..." Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "There's no need to be so reserved, Magistrate Xie. I came to Yangzhou just to visit my relatives and nothing else. You all can go." He waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Seeing this, Xie Qikun felt relieved, but also a little confused. But since Wei Xiaobao had already given the order, he could not ask any more questions and could only turn around and tell the soldiers to retreat.

The Yangzhou water transport and salt administration officials were far away and did not know the situation, but when they saw the prefect's actions, they gathered around curiously and asked what had happened.

When they learned that it was Lord Wei, the First-Class Duke of Lu Ding, who had arrived, their faces changed drastically. They recalled the scene two years ago when Lord Wei came to Yangzhou to plunder, and they were all frightened out of their wits.

They hurried home, shut the door, and looked for all kinds of excuses to go out on business, fearing that they would be caught by Wei Xiaobao. For a time, the whole Yangzhou city was filled with a tense atmosphere, and officials and wealthy families avoided Wei Xiaobao as if he were a plague god.

Wei Xiaobao didn't care about the reactions of these people. He didn't let the guards follow him, but led the five beautiful women straight to Lichunyuan. Along the way, he was in a good mood, as if he had returned to the past.

Lichunyuan was not far from the pier, and those who were watching the fun followed Wei Xiaobao. Someone with sharp eyes said in the crowd: "Isn't this the little turtle man from Lichunyuan?"

"A bit like the little rascal who loved to tell stories in Lichunyuan four or five years ago."

"The current owner of Lichunyuan is the mother of this gangster."

"I heard that he became a high-ranking official in the capital."

"He must be a high-ranking official. Didn't you see how ugly the prefect looked just now?"

Both sides of the street were filled with people watching the fun, and more and more people were talking about Wei Xiaobao.

"Two years ago I heard that he rebelled and was beheaded."

"Tsk, you are spreading rumors, the person in front of you is a ghost!"

"Maybe he faked his death and came back to seek revenge on us."

"Why would he seek revenge on us? He doesn't even know us."

"You are stupid. When he was telling stories in Lichunyuan, did you ever bully him?"

"I didn't. I was just listening to the book."

"Then why are you afraid? Even if he is a ghost, he is a good ghost."

"Yes, he used to tell very interesting stories, all stories about heroes and heroes."

"It's a pity that he passed away and I will never hear such a wonderful story again."

"Maybe when he comes back this time, he can tell us more."

"Yes, let him tell us about the things happening in the capital and the palace."

"Yes, yes, yes. Let him tell us what the emperor looks like and whether he is really as handsome and majestic as the legend says."

.........

Wei Xiaobao's spiritual consciousness can reach a thousand meters. He heard all the discussions of the neighbors, but what they said was the truth. Wei Xiaobao was originally of humble origin, and since he inherited this body, he had to face all the causes and effects of this body calmly.

The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and Wei Xiaobao was walking briskly on the streets of Yangzhou city with a smile on his face.

He exuded confidence and charm in his fine robes, and he nodded occasionally to neighbors who pointed their fingers at him and murmured something in a friendly way.

These people were not unfamiliar with Wei Xiaobao, but when they saw him looking so radiant today, they couldn't help but point and talk.

Wei Xiaobao walked in front, while Su Quan, A Ke, Shuang'er, Ling Zhao and Lu Siniang followed behind.

The five beautiful women walked with Wei Xiaobao, forming an eye-catching landscape on the street. The men cast envious and jealous eyes at them, while the women showed longing expressions.

At this time, Lichun Courtyard was bustling with activity.

Wei Chunhua was standing in the middle of the lobby, cursing out the window: "Who is this bastard who didn't stay in the capital, but came to Yangzhou to show off his power! He bombarded and blew up ships, making such a big noise, attracting everyone to watch the fun. Are you going to let us do business? It's really abominable..."

Her voice was loud, full of anger and dissatisfaction.

As she cursed, she looked around for a target to vent her anger on.

Suddenly, she saw a waiter slacking off, so she rushed over, kicked him hard, and yelled, "You lazy bastard, why don't you get to work! Do you want to wait until all the customers run away before you start working?"

The guy was so scared that he nodded and bowed quickly, then quickly fled the scene.

Wei Chunhua continued to walk around the lobby, complaining non-stop. She felt that her business was affected, and it was all caused by that unknown giant ship.

She hoped that the person who caused the sensation in Yangzhou City would leave as soon as possible, so that Yangzhou could return to peace and the business of Lichunyuan could continue smoothly.

"Come on, grandma, come on, curse. Come on, grandma, curse..." Wei Hutou on the side was excitedly beating the wooden fish and shouting.

The little guy was only two and a half years old. He wore a cute tiger-skin hat on his head and a thick brocade cotton jacket. He held a wooden fish in his hand, beating it and shouting along with Wei Chunhua, as if cheering for her and having a lot of fun.

"Mom..." a crisp voice sounded.

"I told you to call me mom, not mother, you little forgetful kid!" Wei Chunhua frowned, picked up the chicken feather blanket on the table, turned around and hit the person who called mother.

However, when she saw who was coming, her raised hand suddenly stopped. She exclaimed in surprise: "Quan'er, you are finally back!"

Wei Chunhua's eyes were glistening with tears as she continued with emotion: "My dear daughter-in-law, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" As she spoke, she couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.

"Mom, don't cry. Our family will never be separated again." Su Quan comforted.

Wei Chunhua nodded repeatedly, a happy smile on her face.

As Wei Chunhua said this, she put down the feather blanket, walked quickly to Wei Hutou, and hugged him. Then, she pointed at Su Quan and said to Wei Hutou: "Hutou, your mother is back, call her mother..."

Wei Hutou opened his eyes wide and stared at Su Quan, seeming to feel somewhat confused and unfamiliar with this woman called mother.
