    Chen Jiayong's headache disappeared and he was in a good mood.  He got up early in the morning and practiced his self-created "arbitrary boxing" and felt very refreshed.  Seeing Lan Laokong and the Wei family taking care of the treasures in the zoo, I walked over and started chatting with them.  Wei Qingfeng said very happily: "My father-in-law, I have this old problem of waist injury. I never thought that it would be cured by being caught a few times by Ling'er." Chen Jiayong said: "That's good! I saw you dancing on the stage last night, it was really awesome  You are so heroic. My godson-in-law, the head coach Wan Jiakui, is praising you." Wei Qingfeng said: "Don't dare to take it, you are showing off your shame. That is a set of boxing techniques passed down secretly from our ancestors, called 'Tiger Power Ten  You can kill a tiger with the Eight Palms. You don't want to be forced to use it by Coach Wan." Chen Jiayong asked: "Where are your ancestors from?" Wei Qingfeng blushed and said after a long time: "I'm sorry to say it.  Wellthe ancestor is WuWu Sangui's personal general Wei Lanshan. After the defeat of Dali, he fled into Xiaoliang Mountain. Later, he built a cottage in the mountains of Yunlong to avoid disasters and made a living by hunting. It has been passed down to our generation, but  He became a forest farm employee who protected animals and looked after the forest.

    Chen Jiayong asked about Wei Qingfeng's injury again.  Wei Qingfeng said: "Back then, a striking white-fronted tiger rushed towards me. Didn't the government introduce a policy to protect wild animals? I didn't dare to shoot and use the knife. When I was trying to avoid it, I accidentally fell down the cliff and was injured.  I carried my child on the tree trunk under the cliff. Although the big tree saved my life, my waist was disabled." Chen Jiayong said: "You did a good job, but tigers shouldn't hurt people. Isn't this God rewarding you again?  Has your waist injury healed? With the development of forest tourism, it seems that some primitive old forests need to be sealed to prevent wild animals from hurting people." Wei Qingfeng repeatedly said yes.

    Chen Jiayong said thoughtfully: "Li Zicheng was defeated and took refuge in the Jiluo Mountains of Shaanxi Province, leaving behind seven generations of descendants like Li Yuan and others. Your ancestors were related to Wu Sangui. Could it be that your biological mother, the Wei Wu family, is" Wei Qingfeng whispered.  Said: "My father-in-law, I have never told anyone about it, and descendants don't know about it either. My wifeis the 6th generation granddaughter of Wu Sangui, named Wu Kaiyu, whose birth name is Yanhong. She has a family tree, and her  My great-grandmother isChen Yuanyuan. The only thing I miss now is the ancient bed in our house where my great-grandmother slept. My daughter-in-law is sleeping now, and I only have a big knife handed down from my ancestors  "Chen Jiayong was surprised after hearing this!  Said: "It is said that after Li Zicheng's general Liu Zongmin invaded Peiping, he kidnapped Wu Sangui's concubine Chen Yuanyuan, regardless of the rebel army's strategic plan to recruit Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui 'turned into a beauty in anger', and originally planned to join Li Zicheng, but instead  In order to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he lured the wolf into the house, brought trouble to the Central Plains, took the lead in destroying Li Zicheng's short-lived Dashun Dynasty, and became the Pingxi King of the Qing Court. But later he established the Dali Kingdom to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, and was destroyed by the Qing Court. Regardless of the ancestors,  Well, history will tell for itself, but family inheritance must be paid attention to, otherwise where would we Chinese people come from?" Wei Qingfeng said yes after hearing this.

    At this time, a tall and handsome young man walked through the shade of the trees. He smiled and greeted in blunt Chinese: "Hello, elders! My nephew is here to say hello to you!" Lan Laokong knew that this was the Kingdom of Qatar.  Prime Minister Usman's third son, Usa, came to the Chen Mansion with his parents after the school's winter vacation.  He hurriedly started the tea ceremony: "Master Wu, please!" Wu Sa turned around and said bluntly to Wei Qingfeng: "Senior, I'm here to become a disciple." Wei Qingfeng said curiously: "You are a noble prince, and we are just ordinary people in the mountains.  Where do you learn from?" Usa said loudly: "I admire Chinese martial arts the most! After seeing your martial arts performance last night, I decided to become your teacher." Wei Qingfeng said: "Chinese martial arts, do you know how to do it?  Huh?" Wu Sa said, "I know a little bit about it." After that, he showed off a few moves.  Wei Qingfeng said: "No, no, it's really a bit superficial, not as good as our youngest son." They started to communicate.  Chen Jiayong knew Usa's inner intentions, so he let them continue to communicate and left them alone.

    Chen Jiayong returned to the room. He seemed to remember that the Cultural Relics Bureau had portraits and photos of Chen Yuanyuan in his early years, so he asked Guizi to ask Jiazi, Chen Qi, Wei Wu and their three children to come to his study for breakfast.  The Wei family was settled in a quiet small courtyard. Chen Qi had a room, her mother-in-law and father-in-law had a room, and Zilan, Ziyu, Ziyi and Hu Xing each had a room.  Jia Zi was worried and sent a chef to prepare delicious food for the pregnant Chen Qi.  Jiazi saw her husband's order and quickly asked someone to move the breakfast to her husband's study.

    After everyone had breakfast, they followed Wanrong and drove to the Cultural Relics Bureau.  The Cultural Relics Bureau is a former Qing Dynasty palace with more than 300 rooms. It contains a large number of ancestral treasures from China. It is guarded day and night by a regiment of police. No one can take a step forward without a special letter of introduction.  Wanrong led Chen Jiayong and the others through the hall, passed through many pavilions, and arrived at the door of a room.  She said: "Here are all the cultural relics collected from the original Dali Kingdom." Everyone entered the room, and the cultural relic keeper introduced the origin, time, etc. of the cultural relics one by one. Everyone listened carefully:

    "Chen Yuanyuan (1623-1695), whose original surname was Xing, whose given name was Yuan, whose courtesy name was Yuanyuan, and also whose courtesy name was Wanfen, was born in Suzhou in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty.Her name is Ji, from Jinniuli, Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture, Jiangsu Province.  His father's business is "Jinggui", and he is commonly known as a salesman.  His mother died young and he was raised by his aunt Chen's family. He changed his surname to Chen and lived in Taohuawu, Suzhou.  He was born in Liyuan and was a famous scholar in Wuzhong.  It is famous in Suzhou and well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. It was called one of the "Eight Beauties of the South of the Yangtze River" at that time.  The dramatist You Xitang "still saw it" when he was young.  Chen Yuanyuan was "unparalleled in beauty, elegant in speech, and graceful in forehead", and she had the demeanor of a lady.  Every time he performs on stage, his singing voice is beautiful and his acting skills are brilliant and outstanding. He is the only one at that time, "the audience is stunned".  Later, Emperor Tian rewarded his mother with two thousand gold and took her to the capital.  At the end of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, he went north to Kyoto, entered Tianfu, and presented it to Emperor Chongzhen. At that time, there were frequent wars, and Chongzhen had no intention of enjoying himself, so Chen Yuanyuan returned to Tianfu.  It happened that Wu Sangui was out of town at Shanhaiguan. He admired Chen Shuse and hired her as his concubine with a thousand gold coins.  Li Zicheng's peasant uprising army captured Beijing, and Chen Yuanyuan was captured and suffered humiliation.  Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for this daughter, and the Qing army captured Beijing. Chen Yuanyuan still returned to Sangui and went to Yunnan.  In her later years, she became a female Taoist priest and changed her name to Ji Jing and her courtesy name Yu'an.

    "After Li Zicheng defeated the Qing army, he killed Wu Sangui's father and all 38 members of his family, and then abandoned the capital and ran away. Wu Sangui pursued the peasant army day and night to Shanxi with the revenge of killing his father and seizing his wife. At this time, Wu's generals were in Shanxi  The capital searched for Chen Yuanyuan, who had been abandoned by the peasant army, and teleported on flying cavalry. Wu Sangui took Chen Yuanyuan from Qin to Shu, and then monopolized Yunnan.

    "During the Shunzhi period, the Wu family was promoted to the King of Yunnan and wanted to make Yuanyuan his concubine. Yuanyuan dismissed her with excuses, so Wu Sangui decided not to marry her. He did not want the concubine he married to be jealous by nature, and framed and unjustly killed Wu's beloved concubine.  Yuanyuan lived alone in a separate courtyard to avoid misfortune. After falling out of favor, Yuanyuan gradually became alienated from Wu, who plotted to murder her. When Yuanyuan learned about it, she became a nun and became a nun. From then on, she worked at Huaguo Temple in Mount Wuhua to embroider Buddha images.

    "Later Wu Sangui declared independence in Yunnan, Emperor Kangxi sent troops to Yunnan, and the city of Kunming was destroyed in the winter of 1681. After Wu Sangui's death, Chen Yuanyuan also sank in the lotus pond outside the temple and was buried beside the pond after his death. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were two small shadows of Chen Yuanyuan hidden in the temple.  In the frame, there is a poem carved on stone by the pond: He was a lotus picker in the past, / There is a pond in front of the door. / The oars in the pond are flying, / Where is the wealthy family returning home with force? / At this moment, do you know that it is not a bad fate, /  At this time, there are only tears staining my clothes. Through the ages, beauty can never be found, and everything is perfect.

    "There is also a poem by Yong Yule that says: "A peerless appearance captivates a city and a country, leading the flow of romance.  / The beacon fires in the sky, the greedy and domineering thoughts, the soul has not stopped.  / Counting all the troubled passers-by around me, they are all dragons and tigers in the world.  / How could the heroes of the three dynasties be so great? Wu Lang took a look at them.  /In front of Shanhaiguan and below Beiping City, cavalry gallops along the road.  / The sun sets over the long river, the world changes, and the golden drum is still heard while patting the table.  / Is it a crime to be in love with a strange couple?

    "Chen Yuanyuan left behind 32 pieces including 2 photos, 3 hand-embroidered Buddha statues, needle boxes, and brush holders. They were all collected from Huaguo Temple.

    After hearing the introduction, Ms. Wei Wu looked at the yellowed photos carefully, tears streaming down her face. She took Chen Qi, Zilan, Ziyu, and Ziyi and knelt down to the two photos.  He said: "Listen, this is your great-grandmother, please bow down before me! This is my first time seeing her too. Ha! You, you are already the 7th generation descendants."

    Wanrong hurriedly asked the staff to copy the two frames of photos on the computer. After a while, the photos were copied and enlarged into a 12-inch color restored photo. When everyone took a look, they saw that she was really a stunning beauty from the Ming Dynasty. Wanrong was shocked and said: "It's really  She is so beautiful that she can conquer the country! No one can match her graceful appearance." Chen Jiayong sighed in his heart: "Although Chen Yuanyuan is far less handsome than Liang Hongyu, she impressed Wu Sangui, Liu Zongmin, the Dashun Dynasty, and the whole country with her beauty.  After marrying countless men for many years. Even if Li Zicheng lost to the Manchus, if Wu Sangui had not surrendered to Dorgon, the Manchus would have been at least a few decades late. Therefore, Chen Yuanyuan influenced others with her personal charm and changed.  History. In the days that followed, Wu Sangui, who was known as a national thief, took Chen Yuanyuan as his spiritual support. From Shanxi, he crossed the Yellow River, entered Tongguan, conquered Xi'an, defeated Lichuang, settled in Yunnan, and drove Yongli.  The Western Expedition made great contributions to the Qing government's unification of China. Alas, this is all God's will!"

    Chen Jiayong said to the Wei Wu family: "My mother-in-law, I never thought that our family would be related to a descendant of your Wu family again. It's so rare. These copied photos of Chen Yuanyuan and the embroidered Buddha statues, as well as the portraits of Wu Sangui, and the ones left by your maternal grandmother  Please apply to the Cultural Relics Bureau to return these items to you, and keep them as memories at home." Wei Wu was overjoyed and said: "Except for an ancient mahogany bed left by my grandmother, I just listen to the stories of my elders.  The word of mouth has spread to us, and I don¡¯t want to see his true face today, but also returned his photos and relics, which is really a great blessing to the Wu family, thank you very much!"

    Chen Qi felt strange at this time.  Everything here seemed to be familiar to her. She stroked the relics left by Chen Yuanyuan, thinking that she was always collecting and looking for things from the past, and this seemed to be it.  She thought again of the dream she had a few days ago She looked carefully at the portrait of Chen Yuanyuan in a daze, as if it was the beautiful figure that appeared in the dream, overlapping with her own.  Suddenly, just listen toShe was surprised and said: "Mom, sister-in-law, doesn't she look just like my grandmother!" When everyone compared the photos, it was true, 90% of the facial features were similar.  Everyone was surprised.  Chen Jiayong thought to himself: "I'm sorry, Qi'er was born to me and Jia Zi, and this atavism should also be in the Wu family. Why should it be in Qi'er?" He quickly changed the subject and said: "My mother-in-law  , there are so many alike in the world, we don¡¯t take it seriously. It¡¯s a good thing that the affairs of the ancestors of the Wu family have been sorted out. It¡¯s admirable that you have raised a good son!¡± Wei¡¯s mother trembled.  He said: "My father-in-law is a commoner woman who is not as talented as my maternal grandmother. In case we are a woman from the mountains in western Yunnan, we don't read much. We were taught by my grandmother orally. When my children were young, I could only teach them to recite the Three-Character Sutra and the Daughter's Sutra."  Zijian loved reading, and he later became a master of reading, but why did he disappear all of a sudden My daughter-in-law came into my house pregnant with her baby, but Zijian was missing. I I feel so uncomfortable!" Chen Jiayong  He also got wet in his eyes and said: "It's all my fault. Zijian is very capable, but he has a bit of a stubborn temper. I recommended him to come to work in the capital, but if he didn't do it, I wanted to send him to a newly developed place for further training.  When I was transferred back, I didn¡¯t know at the time that he and Qi¡¯er were getting along Zijian¡¯s sacrifice was worth it! He stayed on the island. The weather was hot at the time and the body couldn¡¯t be brought back. Ihe was on the island  In front of his tomb a wedding was held for him and Qi'er, mother-in-law, don't be offended Qi'er is the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, you don't have to think too much, everything will be fine in the future. There is a lot of gloom here, let's go back quickly.  "

    Chen Jiayong had just returned to Changleyuan from the Cultural Relics Bureau, and Ah Ying came over.  Chen Jiayong happily said to Ah Ying: "My queen sister, how are you doing at our house these two days?" Ah Ying said: "Okay, okay! I live in the second sister's yard, it's like living in  It's the same at home. Ling'er kissed me like that." Chen Jiayong said: "Ling'er was born in the backyard of your palace, wasn't it? You also invited the nanny, so of course he kissed you. Then stay at my house longer.  In a few days, the Spring Festival will be here in a few days. How about coming back after the festival?" Ah Ying happily agreed and said, "This is my first time going back to China to celebrate the Spring Festival." Chen Jiayong said, "Actually, you should often  Come back." Ah Ying's eyes turned red and she said, "As an elder brother, aren't you often away from home?" Chen Jiayong said, "Yes, I will spend more time at home in the future. You can come back to your parents' house often."  .¡±

    Jiazi quickly introduced her mother-in-law, Wei Wu, to Aying. Just as she was about to talk, she saw Wei Qingfeng striding in with Wu Sa. He said loudly to Chen Jiayong: "My father-in-law, this Mr. Wu insists on becoming my disciple."  Yeah. I think he is sincere and his body and bones are about the same as ours. For the sake of international friendship, he can practice. But he is a foreigner, how should we teach him in the future?" Chen Jiayong was happy when he heard this.  She said to him: "Mr. Wu is our nephew. He is studying at the University of Hong Kong and is about to graduate. It doesn't matter." Ah Ying quickly continued: "I see that you two are very close to each other. We really hit it off.  . Wu Sa, just accept your master as your adoptive father, so that our two families will get along well in the future." Wu Sa immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wei Qingfeng and said: "Your foster father is here, please accept my son's respect!"  Wei Qingfeng was at a loss and quickly helped Wu Sa.  Chen Jiayong laughed and said: "In-law Wei, just admit it if you admit it. My in-laws lost a son before the father-in-law, and now they have made up for it." Wei Wu said thoughtfully, "Old man,  Just accept it." Wei Qingfeng responded with "uh-huh".

    Ah Ying said with a smile: "Today we recognize our in-laws, it is a great joy. I treat you, everyone is happy!" Chen Jiayong said with a smile: "This is at my home, I should invite you." After that, he called  Jia Zi arranged it.  After a while, Luo Daming led people to set up a banquet in the side hall of the study.  Chen Jiayong said to him: "Brother-in-law, please go and invite Li Yuan's family." Luo Daming said: "He is still busy on the stove." Chen Jiayong said: "Just tell him to change into some decent clothes and come quickly." Chen Jiayong invited  Zhao Yiman, Wan Rong, A Ying and his wife, Wei Qingfeng and his wife, Jia Zi, Hua Zi, Q Ling, M Ling, Wu Sa and Chen Qi accompanied them.  Li Yuan came over in a new suit of clothes. Chen Jiayong said: "Li's family, I'm waiting for you alone." Li Yuan muttered: "There aren't many people eating in the yard these days. I'm busy there.  Wait, I heard your call and hurriedly changed my clothes."

    Chen Jiayong said: "Everyone sitting here is a family. Aying, Yiman and Wanrong are my sisters, Q age is my second sister, and M age is my eldest sister. My maternal nephew, Wu Sa, only recognized the Wei family as her righteous brother.  Father, we are even more intimate. What I want to solemnly introduce at this moment is: my biological mother-in-law, Wei Wu. Actually, her name is Wu Kaiyu. She is the 6th generation granddaughter of Wu Sangui. Wei¡¯s family is also from the Nanzhao Kingdom.  After General Wei Lanshan." Everyone was very surprised. After hearing this, Li Yuan clenched his fist and frowned.  Chen Jiayong saw it at a glance and added: "Actually, Li's family background is not small. He is actually the 7th generation grandson of King Li Chuang. His cooking and cooking are at a rural level, but his martial arts has been hidden for decades.  , it was Jin Feng and Liu Qian who saw him swinging the shovel in the kitchen. Li's family, right?" Li Yu'an was shocked when he heard this, and said: "The chairman has a good eye, but I, I have never used my kung fu to hurt anyone.  PassMan!  "For decades, he has indeed been worried about his ancestor's will: to hunt down the descendants of the Wu family. He practiced martial arts since he was a child. When he grew up, he used the name of opening a small restaurant to secretly visit the descendants of the Wu family in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou to seek revenge.  After suffering a lot but with no results, I returned to my hometown in despair. I never expected to meet the descendants of my enemy under such circumstances!
