I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 244 I am your mother’s classmate

In order to encourage Aunt Thirteen to go out on a honeymoon together.

Before entering Jishan's study, Shen Lang searched everywhere for things, such as foreign gadgets like cameras and projectors.

These high-tech foreign gadgets are all the treasures that Aunt Thirteen loves and cares about most.

So after suggesting going out for a honeymoon, he did not forget to show her all the treasures he had collected in a timely manner.

As expected, when Aunt Thirteen saw these eye-catching foreign gadgets, her eyes lit up instantly and a smile of surprise appeared on her face.

He said, "This really surprises me! Shen Lang, where did you get so many good things?"

Shen Lang replied casually, "Of course I got it through my own unique channels and methods. Shaojun, our family should quickly pack our bags and go out for a trip happily, enjoying this wonderful honeymoon!"

"Okay, since you're going to Hangzhou to teach, let's go together." Thirteenth Aunt nodded and looked at Tieyan, "Tieyan, do you want to go find your sister?"

She has no chance with Huang Feihong now, and there is no point in staying here. She might as well go to Hangzhou to relax.

The Ninth Miss said, "Okay, going to Hangzhou is a good idea. I've never been to Hangzhou either. Sister Tieyan, what do you think? Should we go find your sister first?"

"There are so many people here, I don't know where to look for you right now." Tieyan took Ninth Girl's hand and said, "But I already treat you as my youngest sister. Since you are going to Hangzhou, I will go with you."

"Great! I just wanted a sister too. Now that I have two sisters, we're even better than real sisters." Ninth Miss said happily, holding Thirteenth Aunt's hand again, "Let's go out and have fun as a family."

Having made the decision, the family of four set off for Hangzhou.

There are different ways of traveling to Hangzhou, such as taking a boat and a horse carriage.

But the only thing in common is the constant sound of puffing.

Hangzhou is a great place.

It is also a famous historical and cultural city, known as "paradise on earth". Not to mention far away emperors Kangxi and Qianlong, both loved it very much.

For example, Emperor Kangxi visited the south of the Yangtze River six times.

When Shen Lang and his three companions arrived in Hangzhou, they did not rush to look for Cao Yangyun, but instead strolled around the city first.

Let Aunt Thirteen take some good photos.

Hangzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times, with a long history, beautiful scenery, and West Lake rich in cultural heritage.

Although it has experienced war, this place has regained its former prosperity.

Along the way, there are stalls selling meat buns and fried dough sticks, which are strung together on a small bamboo pole and sold.

The market was filled with the aroma of sizzling oil, steamed buns, fresh vegetables, herbs and spices, and the smell of vegetable leaves underfoot.

However, the extremely famous Leifeng Pagoda had never been repaired throughout the Qing Dynasty. It was already dilapidated and crumbling. Residents in the surrounding area often dug bricks from here and embedded them in their own houses to ward off evil spirits.

That day, several people were strolling on the street.

Suddenly someone was handing out flyers.

"Sir, you look like an educated person. This is a flyer from our National Salvation Association." A young man who looked very familiar handed the flyer to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang took it and took a look at it: "National Salvation Association?"

"Yes, we want to save the nation through science," the young man said. "If you are interested in learning more, you can join our National Salvation Association."

"Yes, join our National Salvation Association." A girl's voice came from the side.

Shen Lang looked over and saw that the person coming was Cao Yangyun, who was wearing a pink dress today.

When she saw Shen Lang, she immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, you are in Hangzhou?"

"Miss Cao, not only am I here, Shaojun is here too." Shen Lang said, pointing at Aunt Thirteen next to him.

Cao Yangyun smiled and said, "I heard someone was taking pictures, so I rushed over to check it out. I didn't expect it to be you. Why didn't you come to me first when you arrived in Hangzhou?"

Aunt Thirteen turned around and smiled: "We just arrived in Hangzhou. We were planning to get familiar with the environment here first, and then look for you. We didn't expect to meet you here."

"Rose, who are they?" asked the young man handing out flyers.

Cao Yangyun smiled and said, "This is my friend Shaojun, from Foshan."

Pointing at Shen Lang, he said, "This is Mr. Shen, also from Foshan. By the way, let me introduce you two. This is Jacky, whose Chinese name is Yang Xuewen."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang's face immediately lit up with enthusiasm: "So it's Brother Yang, I'm Shen Lang, nice to meet you. May I ask how your father and mother are doing?"

He just felt that this person looked familiar, but he was not sure of his identity.

Now that he has confirmed that it is Yang Xuewen, he plans to become good friends with Yang Xuewen and then get to know his mother.

Yang Xuewen asked doubtfully, "Could it be that you know my parents?"

"Your father is Master Yang Chongwu, the great master of Tai Chi. Naturally, I know that."

Shen Lang's face was full of smiles. "As for your mother Hui Niang, she is my classmate. I met her in the Rumble in the Bronx. It's strange to say, I didn't expect you to be called Jacky. My English name is also Jacky."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuewen's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

Because the name Jacky was given by his mother, and his mother also told him that Jacky was the name of a great hero whom she admired very much.

In an instant, the scenes of his mother telling him about her past experiences appeared before his eyes one by one.

Especially when his mother mentioned that story, the expression of nostalgia and attachment on her face was still fresh in his memory.

Just when he was about to get to the bottom of the matter, suddenly, he saw several people in neat suits and black hats running towards him in a hurry.

As he ran, he shouted anxiously, "Oh no! The soldiers are coming! Everyone, run away quickly. If we get caught, we'll lose our heads!"

Hearing this, Cao Yangyun was shocked and his face turned pale. He hurriedly said, "How could they come so quickly? We should run away quickly. Shaojun, Brother Shen, you two should quickly pack your luggage and leave with me."

"You go ahead," Shen Lang replied. "Please let us know where to stay. Once we have settled everything, we will go and meet up with you."

Cao Yangyun did not dare to delay for a moment. He quickly gave an address, then pulled Yang Xuewen and several other people and turned away in a panic.

The group had not escaped far when they saw a neat and orderly group of soldiers rushing towards them like lightning.

"Move quickly! We must bring all those traitors to justice!"

"We must not let them escape!"

"If we let these rebels go, we will all be in trouble!"

"..."

The streets were suddenly in chaos, and people scattered, fearing that they would be implicated.

The Ninth Miss said, "I didn't expect this young lady to actually participate in this kind of thing. It really opened my eyes."

"Everyone has something they like to do." Tieyan said, "That's not surprising. Let's continue shopping."

They strolled around for a while, and then went to the address given by Cao Yangyun.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard something about cutting braids and awakening the people.

Thirteenth Aunt called out, "Yang Yun!"

The arguing inside stopped instantly.

Then the door opened and Cao Yangyun walked out, saying happily, "Shaojun, Brother Shen, you're here." His eyes fell on Ninja Nin and Tieyan again, "These two are..."

"This is Tieyan, and this is Ninth Girl," Thirteenth Aunt introduced. "They are both my sisters."

"Nice to meet you." Cao Yangyun greeted him and said, "Come in and have a cup of tea."

As soon as I entered, I saw Yang Xuewen and a few people in suits.

Several men in suits cast curious glances.

And asked doubtfully: "Yang Yun, who are they?"

"Yang Yun, why are there outsiders coming here?"

"Don't be nervous, everyone. This is Mr. Shen, whom I was talking about. I met him in Guangzhou. He used to follow Mr. Sun Yat-sen," Cao Yangyun introduced. "So I specially invited him to Hangzhou."

Hearing this, several people immediately cast curious glances.

"Have you been following Mr. Sun?"

"real or fake?"

"Since you know Mr. Sun, that's great. You can tell us about this."

"Everyone, there's no need to rush these things right now," Shen Lang said. "Although you need a mentor, saving the country is a huge undertaking that can't be explained in a few words. I need to sort it out carefully."

Cao Yangyun nodded and said, "Yes, they just arrived in Hangzhou, there is no need to rush."

At this time, Yang Xuewen said, "Oh no, I have to go back first. If my father knew I sneaked out, he would definitely break my legs."

"It just so happens that I also want to visit your father and mother. How about I go back with you, and you sneak back while I stay in front to attract your father's attention?" Shen Lang asked.

Yang Xuewen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, but you're not allowed to let anything slip."

"Don't worry." Shen Lang looked at Thirteenth Aunt and the others, "You guys go back with Miss Cao first. I'll come find you after I've visited everyone. Tieyan, you protect them."

Tieyan immediately replied: "Don't worry, I will protect them."

"Miss Cao, everyone, goodbye." Shen Lang bowed and then left with Yang Xuewen.

Cao Yangyun pulled Thirteenth Aunt aside and asked quietly, "The last time I was in Guangzhou, I saw you with him. This time you came to Hangzhou with him too. Are you two in some relationship?"

Thirteenth Aunt was silent for a moment before she said, "We... are husband and wife."

"Ah? You're married?" Cao Yangyun asked in surprise. "An arranged marriage?"

Thirteenth Aunt shook her head: "It wasn't arranged, it was just because of some reasons that they became husband and wife."

"Then I have to congratulate you." Cao Yangyun said with a smile, "It must be boring for you to stay here, why don't you come to my house?"

"Okay, since we are in Hangzhou, we will bother you." Aunt Thirteen nodded.

As Yang Xuewen walked away, he asked Shen Lang various questions: "Are you really my mother's classmate?"

"Yes." Shen Lang nodded. "Didn't your mother tell you about her past in the United States?"

Yang Xuewen shook his head: "No, she rarely mentioned these things. But I think you are only a little older than me. How could you be my mother's classmate? You don't look like one at all."

"Young people don't know their place." Shen Lang glanced at him. "Don't you know there's a kind of person who never looks old?"

"I see." Yang Xuewen said immediately, "My mother doesn't look old either. She always looks very young."

Shen Lang nodded and said, "The world outside is huge. We need to learn more and see more."

"I also think the world outside is huge. Just now, Rose's friends were speaking English, but I didn't understand a word they said." Yang Xuewen said in frustration, "If I knew English, I could communicate with them."

Shen Lang patted his shoulder and said, "People are constantly learning throughout their lives. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to learn it."

The two chatted as they walked.

When they arrived at the Yang family's house, Yang Xuewen said, "I'm going to sneak in through the back door. You go to the front and find my father. If he knows I sneaked out, he will definitely break my legs."

"Don't worry, I won't betray you." Shen Lang said.

Yang Xuewen left with peace of mind.

Shen Lang walked in through the wide and solemn gate of the Yang family with a swagger.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, my eyes were attracted by the bustling crowd in the yard.

At a glance, there were at least dozens or even hundreds of people scattered around, some waiting anxiously, while others were talking in low voices with others.

Judging from their appearance, they must have come here to get medicine or seek medical advice.

Shen Lang did not take the initiative to talk to others, but instead strolled slowly in the yard like a seasoned thief, seemingly nonchalantly.

Sometimes he stopped to observe the surrounding environment, and sometimes he glanced at the people sitting or standing out of the corner of his eye.

Just then, a middle-aged man with a beard and a medium build walked towards him.

The man looked puzzled. After looking him up and down, he asked, "Sir, are you here to see a doctor or get medicine?"

Shen Lang smiled slightly, bowed, and said, "I am Shen Lang. I have come here today to pay my respects to Master Yang Chongwu. I wonder if he is home today?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face became even more puzzled. He asked, "I am Yang Chongwu. I wonder what you want from me? Do you want to learn martial arts from me, or perhaps challenge me to a duel?"

Shen Lang quickly waved his hands and replied with a smile: "Master Yang, you misunderstood. I really have no interest in these things of fighting and killing. I came here rashly because..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw a charming woman hurrying over.

It was Yang Xuewen’s mother Hui Niang.

Although Hui Niang already has a son as old as Yang Xuewen, her overall temperament is very attractive.

She came in a hurry because she had just heard from her son that she had a classmate named Jacky who came from the United States.

But when I arrived at the yard, I didn’t see that old classmate.

Just when she was puzzled, Shen Lang greeted her, "Hui Niang, Hui Niang, I'm Jacky. Do you still remember me?"

"Are you Jacky?" Hui Niang couldn't believe it.

Shen Lang nodded and said, "Yes, I really am Jacky!"

After saying that, he stepped forward and gave Hui Niang a tight hug.

Yang Chongwu, who was standing next to him, was stunned.

Why does this guy hug his wife as soon as he arrives?
Although my wife studied abroad and has an open mind.

But he couldn't tolerate this kind of foreign etiquette.

He immediately frowned and said, "This is China. Don't bring those foreign etiquette in."

After Shen Lang let go, he said repeatedly: "Sorry, I forgot Hui Niang is already married."
