The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Yang An wandered around the Taimiao and met a pair of siblings named Liu, both of whom looked like Lianjiazi.A string of three words came to his mind: Imperial Palace, surnamed Liu, and son of the Lian family, naturally he was a child of the Liu family in Da Nei.He fought Liu Er in Wu country for more than two months a while ago, and he was defeated every time. It is not known how much skill he used.Now that this boy is younger than him, he must be evenly matched?So he enthusiastically invited him to make gestures.The boy immediately agreed.

The two were about to go to the courtyard, Miss Liu coughed twice.The boy giggled and said, "Good sister, don't tell mother!"

Miss Liu crossed her arms and said, "It's okay not to tell mother. You help me write poems."

The boy said with a bitter face, "I don't know how either!"

Miss Liu slightly tilted her head: "If I can't hand in the poem, and my husband reprimands me, I will definitely be in a bad mood. When I'm in a bad mood, my mother will come to comfort me. I don't know what to say when I'm happy."

The young man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's my younger brother's bounden duty to share my elder sister's worries."

Miss Liu nodded: "That's right." She took the lead and walked outside.

The young man looked at Yang An with drooping lips: "Look, what a heavy price you paid for a fight. You mustn't keep your hands."

Yang An cupped his fists: "Yang will do his best!" He still doesn't know if he can win.

There is a large open space in front of the front hall of the Taimiao.It's already July, and the sun is scorching like fire.Miss Liu frowned and glanced at the sunlight below and said: "Don't hit too hard, just make a few gestures inside."

The young man immediately said: "That's so boring! My sister is in the shade at the door." He immediately passed by her, stepped on the Danbi stone and ran down, standing in front of the hall and beckoning to Yang An.Miss Liu crossed her arms and moved aside.Yang An nodded slightly towards her, and walked down the steps leisurely.

Yang An and the young man from the Liu family bowed to each other with an open air.Yang An had already flashed through his mind the situation of his fight with Liu Er, guessing what kind of move this young man would make, and thinking about how he would deal with it.The opponent is also very calm.Yang An didn't move, and neither did he.The two looked at each other for as long as two cups of tea, the sun was scorching so badly that the young man from the Liu family swayed slightly.Yang An was secretly happy: he started to be a pirate at the age of five or six, traveled across the four continents of Asia, Africa, Europe and America, and he has been alone in Malay for many years.Even if you can't see a person's martial arts, you can definitely see a person's heart.This child is very simple, not a sophisticated person like Liu Er.The family background is quite good, and I have little experience, so I get impatient after a long time in the sun.He became more and more motionless.

After a long time, both of them were sweating profusely from the sun, and the boy shook again.Before it was too late, Yang An shook his hand and shot a sleeve arrow straight at the boy's left shoulder, and at the same time he jumped into the air.The boy turned on his toes and swung his body to the right, just in time to put his chest in front of Yang An's right foot.Yang An originally thought that he would be able to avoid this blow, and when his right foot was kicked out, his left foot was already swung up.Unexpectedly, the boy didn't dodge the head kick, and bumped into it steadily.Hearing a "click", the young man's ribs were broken.Yang An's head buzzed: Wushu is too far behind him, even more incomparable with Liu Er.It is unlikely to be the children of the Liu family in Da Nei - there are so many families with the surname Liu in the world.

Seeing that the left foot could not be retracted in time and was about to kick the boy in the head, Miss Liu on the steps had already exclaimed.The poor Yang An used to fight with the soldiers in person, and abruptly turned his left leg to the side, scraping the boy's cheek with the side of his foot. "Plop!" The boy fell to the ground.Miss Liu called out "Tong'er" and ran down.Yang An picked up the young man and stepped on the Danbi stone and ran straight up into the hall.Miss Liu turned around and ran back after her.

As soon as she entered the palace gate, she heard her younger brother yelling "Ouch", Miss Liu couldn't help shouting: "What are you doing!"

I saw that Yang An had laid the boy flat on the ground, tore off the clothes on his chest, and said, "Your brother has broken ribs. I have fought wars since I was a child, and I know how to deal with them. I am more professional than imperial doctors." A roll of cloth strips and a box of plasters appeared somewhere.The three of them were silent for a moment.Yang An took care of the boy's injuries, the Liu family siblings all bit their lips and remained silent.Not long after, the dressing was finished, Yang An said, "Both of you can go see the imperial doctor again."

Only now did Miss Liu burst into tears: "You say it's a competition, but you hit it so hard!"

Yang An smiled wryly: "It's my fault. If you want to beat or scold, it's up to the girl."

Miss Liu became louder and louder: "You're still throwing hidden weapons! Villain!"

Yang An hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I was wrong." After a pause, "But concealed weapons are also a kind of martial arts, and they are used every day."

The young man on the ground was so weak from the pain.After working hard for half a day, he said: "Sister, it's because my skills are inferior to others, so I don't blame others."

Miss Liu still wanted to talk, Yang An said: "Miss, turn around and look for me to vent your anger, how about sending Young Master Liu to the Imperial Hospital first."

The siblings looked at each other, and the young man suddenly wailed, "I can't hide it now!"

His sister said: "Then there's no need to talk? Don't talk about you for two years, but about me for a year."

The young man wailed again, and without knowing where the strength came from, he looked at Yang An and yelled, "It's all your fault! This is the end of it! My mother must kill me!"

Yang An said innocently: "I'll go to your house to apologize, and take the scolding for you two."

The two said in unison: "What's the use of that!"

Miss Liu said: "Even if I scold you a few more words, will there be fewer people talking about us?"

The boy said: "And it will make my father angry. You are not allowed to go!"

Yang An didn't know what to say, so he had to remind again: "Do you want to go to Tai Hospital?"

The two looked at each other again for a while, and said together dejectedly: "Go..." and sighed together again.Yang An listened, feeling envious for some reason.

Yang Ansui picked up the boy carefully, and Miss Liu followed behind him, and the three of them left the Taimiao together.The eunuch guarding the gate was startled: "What's wrong?"

Miss Liu waved her hand and said, "It's nothing."

Yang An asked, "Where is the Imperial Hospital?"

"I'll take you there." Miss Liu hurriedly ran in front of Yang An.

Seeing the three walk away, several eunuchs looked at each other.One said: "Uncle Liu looks seriously injured. Do you want to tell the curator?"

The other two said at the same time: "Of course! I'll go!" They ran away at the same time.

The three rushed to the imperial hospital, the imperial doctor came up to look at the boy's injury, and praised: "This doctor has a good technique."

Yang An said: "I'm not a doctor. It's just that I do a lot and practice makes perfect." He took out his own medicine and showed it to the imperial physician.The imperial doctor smelled it and said it was very good. It looked like it was used in the military.Yang An smiled slightly.Only then did Miss Liu feel a little relieved.Even so, seeing his younger brother who was still alive and kicking just now turned pale with pain, he glared at Yang An again.Yang An hurriedly bowed, and apologized again.

Suddenly there was a sound outside the door, someone asked, "Where is it?" Another person answered, "There." The Liu family siblings exclaimed at the same time, "It's over!" The door curtain was lifted, and seven or eight people broke in.The leader was a beautiful middle-aged woman who immediately shouted, "How is Tong'er?"

Yang An knew at a glance that this must be the mother of the two of them, she looked quite similar to the siblings, especially the boy.Hastily bent down to salute: "Mrs. Liu, I accidentally injured your son, it's all my fault."

The middle-aged woman didn't even look at him, and went straight to her son on the kang: "Tong'er!"

At the same time, the imperial physician in the room shouted: "Director Qin!" Yang An's eyes darkened: My God!Can't be so unlucky!

This woman is Qin Keqing, curator of the Palace Museum.In the early years, he was gentle and peaceful, but now he has more money, more officials, more seniority, and a better temper.Yang An came to his senses, Qin Keqing was asking the doctor.Hearing that his son was fine, his expression softened a little.Yang An's scalp was numb.What's wrong with my mind just now?Isn't the Forbidden City the Palace Museum?Isn't Qin Keqing's husband Liu Xianglian, the first king of Panlong Mountain?Her children are naturally surnamed Liu.

Just as she was thinking, Qin Keqing sat in front of her son's kang and began to count softly.Looking at the expressions of the Liu family siblings, they both wished they could find a piece of noodles and hang themselves to death.Yang An lost his mother since he was a child, and he has never endured such scolding, and there is an expression of envy on his face.Inadvertently let Miss Liu see it, and received a severe slap in the face.

Can Qin Keqing not see?Nai Yi looked at Yang An: "This gentleman, maybe tell me what's going on? How did the dog offend you?"

Yang An felt a chill down his back and shivered.He didn't dare to hide it, and said honestly: "Director Qin, please calm down... Yang An, the boy, just returned to Beijing from the Malay Kingdom of Nanyang today."

Qin Keqing was shocked: "You are Yang An?"

"Yes." Yang An bit the bullet and said, "Just now... my master called someone for a meeting, but no one paid any attention to me, so I came to the Forbidden City for a stroll. I met your son by chance in the Taimiao. The two of us wanted to discuss each other on a whim..."

Qin Keqing said coldly: "General Yang regards the spoiled children of our small family as Nanyang pirates?"

"No." Yang An lowered his head, "I heard your son say his surname is Liu, and that's the imperial palace...so I thought it was the Liu's family. I'm just confused. There are so many people with the surname Liu..."

... The room was instantly quiet.Even Qin Keqing didn't know what to say.

I saw a soldier slowly walking out of the people who followed Qin Keqing into the door just now.This person was only in his early twenties, handsome, and wearing a dark green army uniform.Seeing his fair skin, Yang An frowned: how can soldiers be so white!The soldiers in the capital are really... Looking at it again, they are just a small sergeant.The sergeant stepped forward and gave a military salute: "General Yang!" Yang An returned the military salute.The man said, "I'm a soldier of the Royal Forest Army, and I came to the Forbidden City by accident because of a private matter. I heard that General Yang is very skilled in martial arts, and I want to ask for advice. I don't know if the general will show respect."

Without waiting for Yang An to answer, a young man in a sky-blue robe behind the man said, "This is my girlfriend's brother, who came to deliver something to me." Although he didn't smile, there was inexplicable excitement in his brows and eyes.

Another young man pointed to the man in the green robe and said, "This is Zhao Qingyun, a researcher from our library."

Another said: "He is in charge of construction and is an expert on bucket arches."

Zhao Qingyun said modestly: "You can't be regarded as an expert, but only a miscellaneous. Do what you do and love what you do."

A trace of strangeness flashed across Yang An's mind: Why are these people so busy introducing Zhao Qingyun?Wasn't his brother-in-law-to-be who provoked him?Does no one know what the brother-in-law's name is?Nai made a group bow to them: "Hello, experts." He looked at the sergeant again.This person is tall and straight, with a solemn expression, he really is a royal army, not like the pirate army in Nanyang.Nai smiled and said, "This comrade really wants to play two tricks with me?"

"Please enlighten me, General Yang."

Yang An nodded and looked around: "Isn't it good to fight in Tai Hospital?"

Qin Keqing suddenly spoke. "No problem. Just go to the yard and fight."

Her son lay on the kang and shouted: "I want to see, I want to see..." The sound was too loud, tearing at the wound.

Qin Keqing glanced at him: "Don't even think about it."

Yang An immediately guessed that this sergeant was probably not low in martial arts—a person should not be judged by his appearance.Nai clasped his fists and said, "Since this is the case, let's learn a few moves with this comrade." The sergeant nodded.

The crowd then crowded into the courtyard.The two saluted each other, and just about to show off their posture, the sergeant had already punched Yang An in the face.This person came too fast, Yang An flashed sideways, glanced at the opposite side, and was stunned: Why is the sergeant missing?He secretly screamed "No", it was too late.The sergeant kicked him from behind, hitting Yang An in the back.Yang An fell straight down, trying hard to open it close to the ground.The sergeant kicked again from the side, and kicked Yang An's waist.Yang An was kicked firmly again.Zhao Qingyun shouted vigorously from the side: "Okay—" His colleagues also shouted: "Okay—"

The sergeant took half a step back and clasped his fists towards Yang An who was on the ground: "General Yang thinks that I underestimated the enemy because of my low rank."

"No." Yang An scrambled to his feet, "I see that you were born white, but you underestimated the enemy for half a minute. Seeing how happy your prospective brother-in-law is, you know that this comrade is not a light-saving lamp." The sergeant smiled slightly.Yang An thought for a while, "It's still a little underestimating the enemy. Maybe do it again?"

"it is good."

The two of them exchanged hands in the front yard of Tai Hospital.It was said to be a fight, but in fact it was just the sergeant killing Yang An unilaterally.Yang An seems to have returned to the time when he fought against Liu Er in the Yue Kingdom, and he was defeated and defeated repeatedly.After a while, Sergeant Kung Fu has beaten Yang An fourteen times.

Seeing Yang An getting up from the ground, he shouted excitedly, "Come again!" Qin Keqing said leisurely, "That's all. That's it for today."Yang An was instantly disappointed.Zhao Qingyun and Miss Liu raised their heads and cheered.

Yang Annai asked everyone's names—actually, he wanted to know the sergeant's name.It turned out that Miss Liu's name was Liu Tan.When she was born, Liu Xianglian was in the timber business, and red sandalwood was the most expensive.When Qin Keqing gave birth to her younger brother, the sycamore trees in the courtyard were in bloom, so she named them Liutong.The staff of the Forbidden City introduced themselves one by one, and finally it was the sergeant's turn.The man smiled and said, "My surname is Liu, and my name is Liuzhuang."

Yang An instantly understood.She raised her eyebrows and looked at him for a moment: "I'm afraid you are the son of Ouai Liu's family?"

Liu Zhuang thought for a while: "Listed in order, I should be the eldest grandson."

Yang An couldn't help laughing: "It's weird. Why do I think your kung fu is different from Mr. Liu Er?"

"He must have used another kind of kung fu."

Yang An sighed: "The Ouchi guards are indeed not ordinary human beings." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Liu Zhuang's epaulettes, and his eyes flashed, "You are only a sergeant at this level? Are you overqualified?"

"No. It's just right." Liu Er said with a smile, "I'm now the personal soldier of General Jarvis, the governor of the Beijing camp."

Yang An immediately covered his face: "I didn't say anything..."
