I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

"Let's go to Cuiyun Tower to have a drink first." Wei Tu was the first to break the silence.

He glanced at Wei Fei and said: "I owe you a meal, second brother, and I haven't found the time to make up for it. I have a break today, and I just got my salary some time ago..."

Whether Fu Zhizhou chooses to abide by the covenant, Wei Tu says that he doesn't care. It's a lie. It's better to have an extra helper in the officialdom of Shannan Road than to fight alone.

However, compared to Wei Fei, Wei Tu is confident that he can stand out in the next provincial examination and become a martial arts examiner.

At that time, even without Fu Zhizhou's help, he was able to escape the suppression of the Qingfeng Prefecture and the prefect He's party and get ahead.

Without the help of Fu Zhizhou, the most promising "fourth brother", he also had Wei Fei, a good friend from the same county, and they were in the same boat.

"Okay, third brother." Wei Fei felt less disappointed when he heard Wei Tu's words.

He smiled, got out in simple clothes, and walked towards Cuiyun Tower with Wei Tu.

During the two months when the two were officials in the Xiangjun Yamen, Wei Tu, as the military envoy who "rewarded merit and punished crime", did not get along much with the soldiers below and did not have deep feelings.

But Wei Fei was different. He was the "instructor" of the Xiang Army, responsible for martial arts drills, and hung out with the soldiers all day long. There were few people in the entire Qingshan County who didn't know Wei Fei.

Arrive at Cuiyun Tower.

Wei Tu spared all his money and spent seven coins to buy a table of good noodles to thank Wei Fei for his generosity in going to Jian Liang's house with him last time to give gifts.

On the table, there are all kinds of meat dishes such as sea cucumbers roasted with green onions, pork elbows with sauce, Sixi meatballs, stir-fried kidneys and so on.

There are also seasonal cold dishes and fresh fruits.

At the same time, Wei Tu spent two more coins and asked the shopkeeper of Cuiyun Tower to buy a pot of fine "peach blossom brew".

When Wei Fei saw Wei Tu being so bold and generous, his evaluation of Wei Tu immediately went up a notch in his heart, and he felt that he was right to be the wrong sworn brother of Wei Tu.

The two of them drank wine for three rounds, and the food tasted five flavors.

Wei Fei blushed and said with a loud tongue: "Eldest brother Kou Liang and fourth brother Fu Zhizhou, even if Wei doesn't recognize you, they still recognize you, third brother..."

After saying that, he put his arm around Wei Tu's shoulders and fell asleep deeply on the dining table.

When Wei Tu heard this, he shook his head, and after taking off Wei Fei's arm, he was too drunk and fell asleep next to Wei Fei.

He understood that Fu Zhizhou's success and fame had actually enhanced the relationship between him and Wei Fei. The two of them were in trouble together... and it was easier for them to hold together for warmth.

…

time flies.

In a blink of an eye.

It was the twenty-fifth year of Qing'an.

On New Year's Day this year, Wei Tu took Xinghua to Shan Wuju's house to pay New Year greetings, but did not return to Weijiazhai in Changming Township.

During the more than half a year that Wei Tu was an official, the clan leader of Weijiazhai sent young people from the village to find Wei Tu many times, hoping that Wei Tu would recognize his ancestors and return to Changming Township to worship his ancestors.

But Wei Tu refused one by one.

A few years ago, when he left Weijiazhai, Wei Tu was still worried about the fact that he and Xinghua could not worship in the ancestral hall, but today, he has gradually let go of this.

However.

Let go of relief.

However, Wei Tu was not an easy target. He knew the reason why the leader of the Weijiazhai clan wanted him to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. It was simply because he took a fancy to his status as a military attache and wanted the clansmen of the Weijiazhai clan to come and get a share. Light.

Of course, Wei Tu was not unfeeling towards his biological father, Wei Bao. He wrote to Wei Bao and planned to let Wei Bao move in with him and live with him for the rest of his life.

Poor people in this era do not have many choices.

Wei Tu knew this.

He does not regret that Wei Bao sold him to the Li family, and when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, Wei Bao urged him to leave early...

The former is for him to survive during the famine years, while the latter is for him not to be humiliated in Weijiazhai.

If Wei Bao hadn't secretly given him a couple of dollars when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, his redemption would probably have been delayed for a long time.

And that...a little more than one tael was almost all of Wei Bao's net worth.

However, what Wei Tu did not expect was that his father, Wei Bao, made a completely opposite decision to that of the clan leader of Weijiazhai——

Not only did he not cling to him as a "powerful person", but he took the initiative to set boundaries with his eldest son.

Wei Bao sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he had a son, and that Wei Tu did not need to raise him anymore, so that Wei Tu and Xinghua could live their own lives and just give him some gifts every year.

See this.

Wei Tu had no choice but to give up.

He chose to respect Wei Bao's opinion and give Wei Bao some gifts, clothes and food every year.

——After becoming the "Capital Military Envoy", although he was financially well-off, he still had to pay back money to Caixia... Xinghua's ransom money and the money to buy the courtyard together were not a small sum.

With his wealth, it was okay to raise a Weibao, but raising two more brothers of his own would be a bit too much.

Half a boy, I will starve to death.

therefore.

Since he could not return to Weijiazhai to visit relatives, Wei Tu could only take Xinghua to Shan Wuju's house to pay New Year's greetings.

Master, like a teacher or a father.

When he left Changming Township last year, Shan Wuju said that he lent Wei Tu the green horse worth a hundred taels, but it was not much different from giving it as a gift.

After Wei Tu took the martial arts exam, he never asked for the individual martial arts exam.

"My daughter didn't come this time, probably because she was angry from last year..."

Shan Min sat in the living room, looked at Shan Yangong, Wei Tu, and Xinghua in front of him, and sighed secretly.

Although she was slightly disgusted by Shan Fang's "greed for money", without Shan Fang chattering and making noise in her ears, she always felt that something was missing.

In addition, Shan Fang did not come, so she and Shan Wuju's only grandson, Shan Yiwu, were not brought with him.

"Yan Gong, if that doesn't work, you can take a concubine. It's not a big deal if your wife never gives birth..."

Shan Min looked at Shan Yangong, who was standing with his hands tied, frowned and said.

When she was in Fucheng, she couldn't talk too much because she was worried about Shan Yangong's wife, but when she arrived in Sanyuan Township, she no longer had to worry about it.

"Mom, this matter..." Shan Yangong hesitated.

"Listen to mother, in a few days, mother will find you a matchmaker in Sanyuan Township and help you matchmaker." Shan Min said firmly.

Hearing this, Shan Yangong sighed and could not persuade him any more, so he silently chose to accept it.

He has no heirs, which is why he can't hold his head high in front of Shan Fang.

"Brother Wei, we all want a son..." Xinghua on the side saw this scene, her mind moved, she pinched Wei Tu's hand and neck next to her, and asked in a low voice.

When Wei Tu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "We'll talk about this in a few years. We're not in a hurry."

In the past six months, he had talked with Shan Wuju about the innate martial arts masters, and heard more about the magical things about the innate martial arts masters from his mouth.

In addition to interrogating people's spiritual mysteries, innate martial arts masters can also help unborn fetuses "cleanse the marrow of the I Ching".

After being "conditioned" by the innate martial arts master, the fetus will be born with martial arts skills far superior to ordinary people, and its martial arts practice will make rapid progress.

If possible, Wei Tu plans to think about the issue of heirs after he reaches the Xiantian Martial Master.
