Chapter 168 His eldest uncle and his second uncle are both his uncles
The group left the courtyard, turned left, and walked towards another courtyard.
As I approached the courtyard gate, I heard sounds of fighting coming from inside.
boom!
Bang!
"Good boy, come again!"
"Uncle, take this!"
Such a lively scene instantly made Wenwen feel both excited and envious.
She quickened her pace and followed the others into the courtyard.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, several young members of the Wen family were sparring with Uncle Wei.
There were a few more bystanders.
When the group of women entered, they hurried over to greet them.
"Madam Wen, this junior greets you!"
"Yanzi, Second Brother is here."
"Sister, the brothers have just arrived."
Wow, all of Wei's brothers have arrived.
Wei Dajiu, Wei Mingshan, is the eldest son of the Wei family's eldest branch.
Wei Erjiu, Wei Mingchuan, is the second son of the eldest branch of the Wei family.
Wei Sanjiu, Wei Minghu, is the eldest son of the second branch of the Wei family and the third brother of the Wei clan.
Wei Sijiu, Wei Minghai, is the second son of the second branch of the Wei family and the fourth brother of the Wei family.
Wei was always strong and magnanimous; even after being exiled for so long, she never showed a trace of vulnerability in front of others.
Upon seeing his older and younger brothers, he was so moved that his eyes immediately welled up with tears, which were about to fall.
Everyone who saw the Wei family at this moment felt a deep sense of sympathy.
Madam Yang quickly comforted her, "Yanzi, don't cry, this doesn't suit your image."
"Hehehe..."
A joke warmed up the atmosphere.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wen Yuanqian said, "Everyone's here, let's go inside."
Wenwen quietly approached her brothers and asked, "What are you doing?"
Several people took turns explaining things to her.
"We're sparring with my uncles and the others."
"My uncles are all quite skilled with their hands."
"Only by traveling far and wide and having skills can one protect oneself."
"They just can't react as quickly as us."
Hey, that last sentence was actually said by Wen Chengfeng.
The grandson of the Wei family actually complained that his uncles were slow to react.
Looking at her fourth brother's arrogant words, Wenwen frowned and said, "Fourth brother, your speed wasn't fast even before you started cultivating."
"It's not just slow, it's practically nonexistent in terms of speed," Wen Chengxi retorted, then ran off.
"Fourth brother, you're doomed. I'm going to tell Uncle Wei and the others that you complained about their slow speed." Wen Chengbin said and ran off in a flash.
"Second Brother, wait for me!" Wen Chengfeng chased after him.
For a moment, only Wen Chengjian and Wen Wen, the brother and sister, remained in the front yard.
Wen Chengjian glanced at Wenwen, as if he had something to say, but in the end he didn't.
Wenwen seemed to understand a little, but since her older brother didn't explain it, she just pretended not to know.
The brother and sister smiled at each other and walked side by side into the hall.
The group of people arrived at the hall and took their seats.
At this time, several tables of food had already been set out in the hall.
The table was laden with dishes, all looking and smelling delicious, and still steaming hot.
Uncle Wei helped Wen Yuanqian, and Madam Yang helped Grandmother Wen. After the elders sat down, they said a few words and the meal began.
One table for the men, one table for the women, and one table for the children.
The Wen family members were not overly reserved and sat down in a very natural and comfortable manner.
A happy and lively meal brought everyone closer together.
After eating and drinking their fill, the group moved to another main room.
The men sat down to the side and chatted, starting with kung fu.
The women reminisced on the other side, and Yang and the women of the Wen family quickly became friends, starting their conversation with the children.
The children played and frolicked around the house without a care in the world, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation, and no one imposed any restrictions on them.
Tea was served, and Uncle Wei took out two letters.
A letter was given to the Wei family.
A letter was given to Wen Yuanqian.
"Sister, this is a letter that Father and Mother asked me to give you. They originally came with us, but they caught a cold on the way, so we had to hurry over. Luckily, we caught up with you here."
Mr. Wei asked worriedly, "Has it caught a cold? Is it serious?"
"It's not serious. The doctor said I just need to rest for a while, so don't worry."
How long have you been infected?
"It won't be long, sister, don't worry."
"Okay, I understand, sister."
Wei glanced at Ye Jingchuan casually before looking down at the letter.
Wenwen instantly noticed the unintentional movement.
He does not mean that.
Wenwen quietly went over and whispered something to Ye Jingchuan.
The two whispered to each other under everyone's watchful eyes.
The names of some medicinal herbs could be faintly heard.
The two had done this from time to time before, so the Wen family was used to it.
After the exchange, she took the opportunity to sit openly next to Ye Jingchuan, listening with great interest to everyone's discussion about kung fu.
"Cheng Feng, it's been a while since I last saw you. You've become much more grounded."
"Hmm, this kid's footwork changes too fast, it's making my eyes dizzy."
"That's right, my uncles are getting old and can't keep up with them anymore."
"These kids almost knocked me down."
"My uncles aren't old; they're still in their prime."
Wenwen listened to her fourth brother being teased by his uncles, and glanced at him while suppressing a laugh.
His eldest uncle and his second uncle are both his uncles.
Having so many uncles definitely increases the pressure.
However, Uncle San is also under a lot of pressure.
Just then, Wen Chengfeng also looked over, and the two exchanged glances.
It's probably because they've been cultivating together so much lately that the siblings have become increasingly in sync, and some things don't need to be said explicitly; everyone understands each other perfectly.
Wenwen understood Wen Chengfeng's troubles, and she gave him a reassuring look.
cough!
A soft clearing of the throat rang out.
Wen Yuanqian had already finished reading the letter brought by the younger generation of the Wei family.
To be precise, he received two letters, but they were put together.
One of the letters was from the in-laws.
The letter recounted some old stories, expressing gratitude for the Wen family's help in the past, as well as some instructions and concerns during the exile.
The other letter was from the patriarch of the Wei family, Wei Quanzhan, the head of the Wei family and the eldest uncle of the Wei clan.
After reading the letter, Wen Yuanqian was deeply moved and could not calm down for a long time.
It's embarrassing to admit, but when the Wen family was at its peak, the assistance they provided to the Wei family was entirely reasonable and justified. There was no favoritism, no underhanded tactics, and everything was done according to procedure and rules.
The products developed by the Wei family were able to enter the Imperial Household Department, were favored by people in the palace, and eventually became imperial merchants.
That's all because the items from the Wei family are of high quality and can withstand scrutiny and testing.
The Wen family's recommendation was merely a convenient and opportunistic gesture, without any personal motive whatsoever.
Although the Wei family was involved, one thing is one thing, and the Wen family dared not take credit for this, nor could they repay the favor.
Now, the fact that the old master of the Wei family would make such a suggestion in a letter has truly shocked Wen Yuanqian.
At this point, he could only calm his nerves by drinking tea.
While drinking tea, Wen Yuanqian looked up at everyone and saw that they were all staring at him with curious expressions.
No one but him knew what was written in the letter.
Wen Yuanqian put down his teacup and handed the letter to Wen Qilin, saying, "Take a look."
He turned to Uncle Wei and asked, "Mingchuan, is what your father said in his letter true?"
