Dragon Seal

Today's Xiangyang City is cloudy.

The gate of General Wei's mansion was closed tightly, and even the people who passed by the gate were in a hurry.Vendors avoid this street, and old residents cast complicated glances at it. Even the most ignorant tourists will not approach the two famous Swiss stone lions in front of the General’s Mansion. He lived in the general's mansion, and strictly interrogated every person who entered and exited.

It has been seven days.

On the surface, it is said that it is to protect the general's mansion, but who doesn't know that all members of the Wei family can be pulled out to fight?It can only be blamed on the right time, place, people and everything being difficult to get through with the Wei Mansion. The third General Wei and the main force of the Shenwu Army were trapped in the Southern Wilderness by a storm rarely seen in a century. General Wei Xiao led his troops to rescue them. No, the local officials claimed that they had communicated with the enemy.Who believes it?The people in Xiangyang didn't believe it, but some important officials believed it; the old Wei family didn't believe it, but the emperor seemed skeptical.So General Wei resigned a few days ago, but unfortunately his hometown is in Xiangyang, and he couldn't "return to his hometown".

Even if there is a place to go, no one wants to leave under the name of a traitor.From General Wei who was reluctant to return the soldier talisman, to the veterans in the mansion who wanted to put on their armor and go to war, none of them were willing to resign and return home.The Wei family is full of generals, loyal, brave and good at fighting, but they have neither ambition nor agility to turn around in the court. Such a famous family of generals can be prosperous under the eyes of the emperor to this day.

Mrs. Wei was lying on the bed, and she could feel the atmosphere of the coming rain in the mansion—no one would bother the sick old man with this matter, but Mrs. Wei was so old, how could she know nothing about it? ?Although she had never been on the battlefield, she was the general's wife, the general's mother, and she knew what bad news was like in the air.

The old lady Wei vaguely felt that she was waiting for someone, but she was so sick that she couldn't remember who she was waiting for this time.She spent most of her life waiting for someone, waiting for her husband and children to return in triumph, or to send back mutilated corpses, a flag, some clothes.

Is it Old General Wei?No, he stayed in the Southern Wilderness when he was not too old to go to the battlefield, and the boss of the family snatched him back from the barbarian flag on his own.No one dared to tell Mrs. Wei about this, but she had also heard the rumors on the street.At that time, the family members were very careful that she would be too sad, but in fact she was much calmer than they thought.Old General Wei complained about his sluggish skills, and complained about the days when he was injured and unable to fight. Mrs. Wei knew in her heart that her husband would probably rather die on the battlefield than die in bed.

What's more, to put it bluntly, Old General Wei and Mrs. Wei are not very familiar, and now she doesn't even remember her husband's face.They had never met each other before marriage, and after marriage, they gathered less and separated more. One was stationed in southern Xinjiang all day long, and the other was in Xiangyang all day doing housework.

So is it General Wei?

No, the boss injured his leg, and then the mantle of the Shenwu Army was handed over to the second and third.Mrs. Wei thought carefully about what she was waiting for, but she couldn't figure it out until she had a headache.

Old General Wei trained his sons like soldiers. He was not polite. He followed military orders at home and asked his sons to call him generals.Mrs. Wei couldn't stop him when he took his four-year-old eldest son away, and even more so after that.On the day when the eldest son and her husband went to the battlefield, the mother-in-law asked her to talk to her all night. The old lady who was ready to lose her son comforted her daughter-in-law who would worry about this in the future. hostess.

Old General Wei is a very domineering husband and father. He said that his sons must go to the battlefield with him in the future, and the sons must go. bloodthirsty.Mrs. Wei can't do anything about it, she can't intervene, she can only try her best to give the children who are suffering outside a place to rest.From the eldest son to the second son, from the second son to the third son, the male members of the Wei family have always grown up under the hands of their father. Mrs. Wei once thought that things would not change.

In fact, the turning point came at the end.

One day, Old General Wei brought back an infant baby.The child was so young, with few hairs on his head, and the quilt that wrapped him was in a mess.Mrs. Wei looked at her husband inquiringly, there was a once in a thousand years hesitation on her husband's face, which was always arbitrary.

"This is my son." Old General Wei said uncomfortably, "It's... called Wei Zhao."

"The concubine knows." Mrs. Wei took the child who was about to cry because she was holding her in the wrong position, and asked, "Are you going to take him to see his mother?"

"No!" Old General Wei said hastily, and gave the baby a complicated look. "The last genealogy is enough, and it will be recorded in your name. You educate him well."

After all, he seemed to let go of something on his mind, turned around and left in a hurry.

Mrs. Wei only thinks that her husband is ashamed to take him back to the outer room and feels guilty about the child. The child's biological mother may be a lowly family, or even a foreign race, but in Mrs. Wei's hands, it is her child—look at this black and thin baby It looked like it hadn't been taken good care of.She tidied up the messy swaddle, looked around for no one, reached out and touched the baby's crying face, and whispered, "Don't worry, this will make you fat."

She did about half of it.

The child named Wei Zhao has a big appetite and grows teeth quickly. He eats whatever he is given, and eats everything with relish, which will inevitably soften the heart of the feeder.He gnaws when he has teeth (it hurts to bite people), runs around when he can walk, jumps like a monkey, and because he eats well and exercises well, he is not fat at all, but he is as strong as a small head at a young age. calf.Mrs. Wei weighed it once or twice in private. This child is solid, and when he was so tired that he had to be carried back, the weight was simply jaw-dropping.

Old General Wei didn't train his younger son, probably because he was a bit more loving and tolerant towards him. Wei Zhao was the only one among the brothers who raised him.He doesn't have to be forced to practice three-nines in winter and three-hours in summer, and he can scatter his vigorous energy in all the places he is interested in.When he was four or five years old, he searched all over the huge general's mansion, knowing which tree's branches were suitable for climbing on, and which corner had a hidden dog hole - then, no one could stop him from slipping out, Catching Wei Zhao is harder than catching a thief.

The dignified Mrs. Wei raised her eyebrows for him more times than in the previous half of her life, and wanted to rush over and twist his ears several times.But this child who is more naughty than anyone else is also more cunning than anyone else. Every time Madam Wei can't help but act coquettishly, ask questions, and apologize. A person who can be angry with him for more than half a day must have a heart of stone.

No one dislikes Wei Zhao. Old General Wei’s mother complained about the son of the outsider at first, but then she laughed so hard when she saw him; As a result, they all praised the younger brother's cleverness and bravery, and they all became good brothers; most of Xiang Yangcheng's people who saw Young Master Wei regarded him as their own son and nephew, and they all said, The child must be very promising when he grows up, just like his father and his brothers.

Of course Mrs. Wei also likes Wei Zhao very much, but she doesn't want him to be like his father and brothers.She fed the child milk paste with a spoon, sewed tiger shoes for him, watched him swing under the tree, fanned him in summer, and made soup for him in winter.She watched him grow from such a thin and pitiful little boy to a tiger-headed troublemaker, from dough that would soften his feet after two steps to a young boy who could dance with a spear, and heard him call her mother, and heard him use up his two deciduous teeth. The leaking voice told her jokes... That was her child, the first boy raised by her alone.

When Wei Zhao broke his arm in order to subdue the fierce horse, Mrs. Wei fed him medicine with a straight face while thinking: If General Wei wants her youngest son to be sent to the battlefield, even if he cries like a shrew She hanged herself three times, and she had to stop her husband.

"Mother?" Wei Zhao said timidly, drank the medicine in one gulp, and put on a miserable face.Mrs. Wei sighed, and he said cheekily that he was wrong, and that this time was just an accident, and there would never be a next time. "What's more, didn't I succeed?" Wei Zhao said, his eyes sparkled with excitement, "Hey, when I get well, I must show my mother how heroic my son is riding a horse!"

Mrs. Wei couldn't help sighing again, she knew that she could desperately stop anyone who pushed her youngest son into danger, except for Wei Zhao's own Shanhetu Xianjia Manor.

What happened afterwards?

Old Madam Wei opened his eyes.

It was dark for a while before her eyes, and she seemed to hear the servants shouting something in a hurry.At this moment, she opened her eyes, but found that the room was quiet, there was no maid, only a man half kneeling beside her bed.That adult man was very handsome, and more importantly, he was very familiar. The old lady Wei tried hard to think, and the expression on that man's face became sad.

He didn't know what he did, and Mrs. Wei felt that the fog in her mind had lifted a lot, and she could even remember what her husband, who had been dead for decades, looked like.This man doesn't look like a husband, the eldest, the second, or the third. In fact, he doesn't look like the Wei family, but Mrs. Wei's face lit up.She stretched out her hand tremblingly, and pressed the back of the opponent's hand.

"Zhaoer?" the old lady shouted happily, "ah, you've grown up."

"Mother." Her youngest son, whom she had not seen for many years, grinned. He was very energetic. He looked like a great guy, just as she had thought, "I thought you didn't recognize me."

"What nonsense!" Mrs. Wei snorted, "Where is a mother who can't recognize her son?"

She remembered that the life she had tried to look back over and over again these days had changed from a dilapidated old picture to a bright one.She remembered how her parents, husband, and children and grandchildren left first, and why the younger son in her memory left first—he was taken away by a fairy!Old Mrs. Wei remembered that she was waiting for those ghosts who died young to come to pick her up, and she remembered that she was still waiting with a glimmer of hope, waiting for the child stolen by the fairy to come back and take a look at her before she left.

Old Madam Wei was very happy. She patted the back of the child's hand vigorously with her skinny hands, and finally became worried again. As a boudoir woman, she knew the difference between immortals and ordinary people.She asked: "Is the immortal not angry with you?"

"It's okay." Wei Zhao smiled, blinking his eyes slyly, "My son is amazing, they can't stop me now."

"Now?"

"In the past, um, at first my son thought about cultivating a great weapon and then returning home, but then he got into bad luck..."

Wei Zhao told the old mother a wonderful story, he told it quickly and nicely, better than any storyteller, and made the old lady laugh.He also said that there is no need to worry about his nephew, and he drew a mirror in the air to show the old lady how the enemy army was also dispersed by a thunderstorm.The fairy on the cloud on the other side of the mirror smiled and nodded to Mrs. Wei, and Wei Zhao introduced him as a fellow apprentice.

"Huh?" Old Madam Wei thought for a while, then exclaimed, "Is this Dr. Liang?"

Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows, looked at his mother and then at his senior brother.

"Do you still recognize me?" The senior brother smiled, "It was so inconvenient at the beginning, so I had to come here under a pseudonym, and I hope you will forgive me."

"Doctor Liang, why should you be so polite!" Old Madam Wei smiled and shook her head, "You saved my life back then and spent time with this boring old woman, I'm too happy!"

"Mrs. Wei suddenly contracted an emergency." The brother explained, "You are in retreat, and I happened to pass by. After that, I will pass by when I have free time, and I will visit occasionally."

Wei Zhao's expression changed, he opened his mouth, but remained silent for a while.

"Doctor Liang?" he said, "Liang Zhi?"

"That's what I said at the beginning." Mrs. Wei nodded and said, "Isn't your surname Liang?"

"Gongliangzhi." Wei Zhaodai replied, "My surname is Gongliang, and my first name is Zhi. The most important person I met after I went up the mountain, I never thought that my mother would meet him before him."

Gong Liangzhi smiled lightly.

"Hey, I'm really blind to treat the real fairy as a wandering doctor... He is kinder than you little bastard, and he knows how to come and see the global strategy of the big man." Madam Wei scolded, looking at the person in the mirror lovingly , "The Taoist priest is handsome and kind. At first, I thought, if there is an unmarried daughter in the family, I should marry him."

The old lady's son and the fairy in the mirror stopped, and they looked at each other. Wei Zhao's hand suddenly passed through the mirror, and he held the hand holding the disk on the other side of the mirror.He said, "Climb up and kiss."

Within a few breaths, Mrs. Wei's eyes widened in surprise.Gong Liangzhi gave Wei Zhao a reproachful look, as if saying that this is not a good time, but Wei Zhao held on to him, even a little stiff under Mrs. Wei's surprised gaze.Old Mrs. Wei looked at this and that, she smiled, and her slightly serious face relaxed warmly like a quilt that had been basked in the sun.

"Okay, okay." She said, "I'm relieved that you have someone to take care of you."

"I knew my mother was the most reasonable." Wei Zhao grinned like a spoiled brat, probably only the two people present could understand how relieved he was.Old lady Wei feigned anger and said: "You have such a big idea, how can I stop you?" Her son laughed.

Old lady Wei really doesn't mind, isn't it just a broken sleeve?She sent away her husband, sent away several sons and even several grandchildren, and now she can see the younger son who has not been heard from for decades standing in front of her alive and kicking, bringing a male daughter-in-law back is not a problem at all, What's more, she had met the child before, and she was a very nice person.Old lady Wei's heart felt relaxed, and she was so relaxed that she quickly floated up.

No, she really floated up.

At this time, the old lady Wei had the time to lower her head, and saw her old body still lying on the bed.The servants surrounded the bedroom tightly, the doctor held her arm and shook his head, General Wei looked sad, and the women's family members and children gathered in the room uncomfortably, which was a scene of chaos.Her youngest son was a phantom in the crowd that no one could notice, and asked her if she wanted to go back, or if she wanted to be a ghost cultivator, but Old Madam Wei laughed and reached out to pat her son-in-law's hand, shook his head at them.

"I've lived enough." She said, looking at the younger generation in the family with nostalgia, thinking that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, "You live well. By the way, Mr. Liang... Mr. Gongliang, is there really a junior sister?"

"No, I only have one junior." Gong Liangzhi replied, looking at Wei Zhao who was puzzled.

"Okay, okay, okay." The old lady smiled, and the soul of the old man gradually turned into a gentle young woman, "In this way, I can feel at ease."

On this day, the Shenwu Army, which had been besieged for many days, was sent out of the encirclement by a sudden wind and rain. General Wei Xiao killed the collaborating officials, and took his father on the way home.

On this day, the sky of General Wei's mansion was full of rays of light. Some people said that they saw Mrs. Wei driving west on a crane, and some people said that they saw immortals picking up the old lady to become immortal.Amidst the divergent opinions, the emperor kept his secrets and never saw anyone. There were gossip that he was hit on the head by the late emperor's tablet in the Taimiao.

The people in Xiangyang City indeed saw the figure in the sky from a distance, and they guessed what kind of immortal it was, and what kind of mysterious way it was teaching.It's just that it's not known what the real conversation on the cloud is.

"It's a pity that Xi'er hasn't woken up yet, so she can't come to see grandma."

"My mother met my daughter-in-law at any rate... Oh, I saw you earlier, what about my ten years in Xuanbingyuan?"

"good."

"You said you went back to see your mother, and you really did."

"What are you cheating on?"

"Then what did Doctor Liang say to Mother? Junior sister?"

"Didn't your mother want to be a matchmaker for me?"

"You just said that there is a little junior sister?"

"I said, I am in love with Zhaodi and my junior sister, and we will live and die together, and I will never look at others again."
