The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 441 - 423: Wei Wushang: I Lost!
Yuan Bao had been to the Wei Family many times before, after all, she had established a sworn kinship with Wei Shiyu and Mrs. Wei Shen. She always felt she understood the Wei Family quite well, but when she followed Wei Wushang to the main hall of the Wei Family and saw it filled with people, Yuan Bao felt a bit overwhelmed.
The Wei Family was really large.
First, there was Wei Dingjiang, with nine brothers and four sisters.
Then, among Wei Wushang’s peers, there were as many as thirty-seven male cousins and twelve female cousins.
In fact, usually, the members of the Wei Family were scattered across Daxia, and it was only because of Wei Wushang’s marriage that everyone gathered together.
After all, Wei Wushang was the legitimate son of the first line of the Wei Family, the future head of the Wei Family.
And as for Yuan Bao, she was to become the matriarch of the Wei Family.
Due to the sheer number of people, Mr. Wei Huo waved his hand and simplified the tea ceremony for meeting relatives.
Among the Wei Family present, only Mr. Wei Huo, Wei Dingjiang, and the Eldest Princess and her husband received the tea from Yuan Bao directly.
As for the others, little maids from the residence served the tea before them.
After all, there were truly too many people!
If Yuan Bao had to serve tea and greet everyone one by one, even if it didn’t take a full hour, it would still take more than half an hour.
However, although the ceremony was simplified, the gifts Yuan Bao received as meeting presents were not reduced at all.
Coming out of the main hall of the Wei Family, Yuan Bao was still a bit dazed.
"What’s wrong?"
Wei Wushang noticed something was off with Yuan Bao and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
Yuan Bao glanced at Wei Wushang and said, "So many people, I didn’t remember all of them!"
Eighteen uncles and aunts, eight uncles and aunts by marriage.
Twenty-seven sisters-in-law, twelve sisters-in-law big and small, and their twelve husbands.
Additionally, Wei Wushang’s ten unmarried male cousins...
As for the children of Wei Qiqi’s generation, Yuan Bao couldn’t count how many there were.
Just thinking about suddenly having so many relatives gave Yuan Bao a headache.
Her memory was good now, but in that moment, she was too nervous and ended up just skimming over the faces without matching who was who.
After all, some of Wei Wushang’s cousins looked around the same age as some of his younger uncles.
If she got it wrong in the courtyard in the future, it would be a big joke.
"Don’t worry, in a few days, I’ll take you around to meet everyone, and you’ll get to know them!"
"Besides, many people don’t live in the residence, you’re unlikely to run into them on a daily basis."
Wei Wushang chuckled softly, soothing Yuan Bao’s unease.
Yuan Bao looked up at Wei Wushang and said, "Why not, let’s go meet them in the afternoon? I can’t get married and not recognize everyone!"
"Sure, why not, there’s nothing else scheduled for the afternoon anyway!"
Wei Wushang smiled.
He still had his duties, but for his marriage, Emperor Xia had given him a ten-day holiday.
...
Returning to the small courtyard that belonged to her and Wei Wushang, Yuan Bao finally had time to take a closer look at the place.
Though called a small courtyard, it was not small at all.
It came with a rear garden, which had a lotus pond, with a waterside pavilion and a warm pavilion by the pond. In summer, one could cool off in the waterside pavilion, and in winter, one could enjoy the snow in the warm pavilion.
At one corner of the garden, winter plums were in full bloom.
Wei Wushang, being the legitimate son of the first line, had a courtyard far better than the ones of Wei Shiyu and Mrs. Wei Shen.
Of course, it’s not that the courtyard of Wei Shiyu and Mrs. Wei Shen was bad, just that it wasn’t as large as this courtyard. That courtyard also had a little garden, but truly just a little garden.
On the southeast side of the courtyard pond, there was a martial arts practice field with a weapon rack displaying eighteen different kinds of weapons.
Seeing the practice field, Yuan Bao turned to Wei Wushang standing beside her, smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle, shall we spar?"
"Sure!"
Wei Wushang was quite curious about Yuan Bao’s current skills.
That day, because he was ambushed and poisoned, he ended up being rescued by Yuan Bao. But even so, Wei Wushang knew the attackers were highly skilled.
For Yuan Bao to have defeated those men in black, she must be a master.
"Uncle, what weapon do you use?"
"I’ll use a sword!"
"I’ll use a sword too!"
"Wait a moment!"
Wei Wushang’s figure flickered, flew up, crossed the ridge, went to the front courtyard, and soon returned, stepping over the eaves with two swords in hand.
"Here, one for you, one for me!"
Wei Wushang tossed one of the similarly shaped treasures toward Yuan Bao.
Yuan Bao reached out and caught the sword Wei Wushang threw.
Drawing the sword from its scabbard, the sword sang as it came out.
On the blade, the words "Lady" were engraved.
The two swords were a pair.
The male sword, Gentleman, and the female sword, Lady.
These two swords were gifts from Emperor Xia to the Eldest Princess when she gave birth to Wei Wushang.
Though the names were quite ordinary, these two swords could rank among the top ten famous swords in the world.
"Uncle, watch the sword!"
With the sword in hand, Yuan Bao launched a direct thrust.
She had been learning swordsmanship for eight years, always practicing a set of Basic Sword Skill. However, even Mei Jiu, who had learned many Advanced Sword Skills, couldn’t resist Yuan Bao’s sword strikes.
Yuan Bao’s swordsmanship had reached the state of returning to simplicity.
In her view, no matter how advanced the sword skills, they were extensions of Basic Sword Skill.
No matter how ever-changing the moves, they were merely applications of Basic Sword Skill.
Clang!
Wei Wushang drew his sword just in time to block Yuan Bao’s thrust.
Then, Wei Wushang realized he was completely at a disadvantage.
Yuan Bao’s sword didn’t have dazzling moves, just simple thrusts, sweeps, chops, and slashes... But because her sword was too fast, Wei Wushang could only struggle to cope.
Even when he tried to create distance between them, Yuan Bao turned defense into offense after just one counterattack.
"Stop!"
Soon enough, Wei Wushang leaped onto the frozen surface of the pond, sheathing his sword.
"What’s wrong?"
Yuan Bao was enjoying herself in the fight.
Ever since her swordsmanship surpassed Mei Jiu’s, she hadn’t had such an enjoyable battle for a long time.
"I lost!"
Wei Wushang shrugged.
Although he didn’t want to admit he was defeated by his own little wife, he preferred to concede rather than continue to be frustrated, reacting to sword strikes.
"Huh?!"
Yuan Bao was taken aback by Wei Wushang’s words.
She had just gotten into a rhythm!
"Uncle, why don’t we spar a little longer, you can switch weapons too!"
Yuan Bao looked at Wei Wushang with anticipation.
"No way!"
By now, Wei Wushang understood why Yuan Bao could overpower him, it all boiled down to one word: speed. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
But it was this "speed" that crushed all his martial skills.
"Mei, you spar with me!"
Unable to have her fill of the fight, Yuan Bao turned to Mei Jiu, looking for a sparring partner.
Mei Jiu, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, thought she wouldn’t have to be beaten by her County Princess anymore, but who would have thought Wei Wushang would be so unreliable!
