The next day.

At dawn, Wei Yuan asked Xu Changzhi to invite the most famous medical expert in Yangzhou City, 'Wang De'.

Not long after, Sheng Jiawei was in the courtyard.

After Wang De diagnosed Wei Shuyi's pulse and came to the conclusion, Wei Yuan couldn't wait to ask:

"How's it going?"

At this time, Wei Shuyi and Minglan were also nearby.

Wang Desuo bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Wei, Miss Wei is in excellent health, just don't eat too many greasy dishes on weekdays."

Wei Yuan asked curiously: "Don't you need to prescribe some anti-fetal medicine?"

Wang De shook his head, "No need, overcompensation will be detrimental."

Wei Yuan nodded and personally escorted Wang De out of Sheng's house. When he came to the door, he raised his hands to Wang De and said:

"Doctor Wang, here is fifty taels of silver, please accept it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chuan, the bodyguard beside him, handed over the fifty taels of silver notes to Wang De.

Seeing this, Wang De refused, "My consultation fee is not that expensive."

Wei Yuan said, "I have something to ask Dr. Wang."

Wang De said curiously: "Master Wei, please speak frankly."

Wei Yuan responded: "I would like to ask Dr. Wang to come to Sheng's house every three days to diagnose my eldest sister's pulse."

"If my eldest sister successfully gives birth to her second child, I would like to thank you very much. From now on, whenever Dr. Wang asks for anything, I will definitely grant it."

In "Know or Not", Wei Shuyi's death was due to dystocia.

It is true that Lin Sushuang interfered and took away the midwife.

But she has a saying that is right. In this era, when a woman gives birth, she is stepping on the doorstep of hell.

So, it’s better to be cautious.

Doctor Wang nodded in agreement: "Please rest assured, Mr. Wei, as long as I have time, I will come to Sheng's house to diagnose Miss Wei's pulse."

After that, he calmly accepted the fifty taels of silver.

In fact, to him, money doesn't matter, what's rare is favor.

After Dr. Wang left, Wei Yuan came to the courtyard and said to Wei Shuyi:

"Sister, although this is your second child, don't take it lightly. You should pay more attention to it, walk around frequently, and save some energy when the birth is approaching."

Hearing this, Wei Shu smiled and said, "What you said is as if you had given birth to a child."

Wei Yuan also smiled.

Wei Shu said, "Don't worry too much. My sister also wants to see you get married and have children. She will never cause any problems in this matter."

Wei Yuan smiled and nodded, "Okay."

The two siblings chatted for a while, and then a guard came to report that Mr. Bai Ye was visiting.

Wei Yuan asked him to wait outside the hospital.

After all, this is Wei Shuyi's residence and it is not allowed for outsiders to enter.

When he walked outside the courtyard, he saw Gu Tingye's expectant face, so he smiled and said:

"Actually, what I can teach you is very limited. I'm afraid it's not as good as your father teaching you himself."

Gu Tingye bowed first, and then asked curiously:

"General Wei, how did you know the identity of this junior?"

Wei Yuan said: "You don't have to call yourself junior. Your father and the British Duke are of the same generation. I call myself junior in front of your father."

"As for how to know your identity, it's actually very simple. As far as I know, no one among the distinguished princes in the capital has the name 'Ye'."

"And your mother's surname is Bai. When I first came to Yangzhou, I heard someone mention that Mr. Bai, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, had just passed away."

"You came to Yangzhou with Uncle Zhongqin's uncle, so it's not difficult to deduce your identity."

Hearing this, Gu Tingye looked shocked. Being able to deduce his identity from the smallest details showed that Wei Yuan was as meticulous as a hair.

Those who know the military can often make fuss about the details. No wonder that an arrogant father would spare his words to praise a rising star.

Gu Tingye bowed solemnly and said, "Then I'll ask you to call General Wei Big Brother Wei."

If Gu Yankai hadn't taught Wei Yuan martial arts, Wei Yuan would have been too lazy to pay attention to Gu Tingye.

Now teaching Gu Tingye a thing or two is a favor in exchange for Gu Yan.

As for the title, Wei Yuan is a martial artist, so he doesn't care.

"Your father once taught me the Gu family gun. You have learned this gun technique since you were a child. You don't need me to teach you anymore."

"I am good at using the sword and have created a technique of my own, called dragging the knife. I will teach you this technique today. In the future, you may be able to integrate it into the Gu family's marksmanship."

There are many martial arts in the world, and there are several versions of just dragging the sword, including the hand-drawing technique and so on.

Wei Yuan's self-created dragging technique is mainly based on turning and thrusting, unlike the vertical slashing technique known to folk martial artists.

This technique is not difficult. You can learn the general idea after watching it once. What is rare is the details, such as the cross step and the concentration of strength on the waist in one place.

Another example is when dragging the knife and turning around, use the force to draw it horizontally, and use the strength from the waist to hold the knife with both hands.

This move must be fast enough and consistent enough to catch the enemy off guard.

Among the marksmanship techniques, only the carbine can compete with this dragging sword technique.

But after Gu Tingye carefully watched Wei Yuan perform this move, he seemed extremely shocked.

"When you bend down and lift me with this move, I will be able to restrain my Gu family. If General Wei were to compete with me and use this move, I would never be able to survive!"

When Gu Yankai taught Wei Yuan martial arts, he did not teach him the last three styles of the Gu family's marksmanship, including the Gu family's horseback spear.

This dragging sword technique was created by Wei Yuan by merging the British master's martial arts, so as soon as he debuted, he would give Gu Yankai a feeling of enlightenment.

Gu Yankai was hiding his secrets from Wei Yuan, and Wei Yuan would naturally not have any reservations about Gu Tingye.

This dragging knife technique may be of great use in single combat, but it has many shortcomings in a chaotic melee.

After Wei Yuan used this move, he asked Gu Tingye, "Can you see clearly?"

The latter nodded.

Wei Yuan added: "The waist and arms are united, and the strength is at a loss."

Gu Tingye bowed deeply and said, "I have learned a lesson."

Wei Yuan threw the sword in his hand to the bodyguard aside and said seriously:

"It's useless to practice this trick too much. You need to seek breakthroughs in actual combat."

"You can also use short knives, but you have to pay attention to how you use them with both hands."

"When you return to Beijing, tell your father that you and I met in Yangzhou."

This was a partial return of favor to the Gu family. The reason why Wei Yuan did not say it too harshly was because the Gu and Wei families would inevitably be involved in the future.

The exchange of favors means that you owe me and I will repay you. Only in this way can the relationship be long-term and stable.

The Gu family was, after all, the Marquis's residence, and Gu Yankai's prestige in the military was also very high.

When Wei Yuan entered Beijing, he did not intend to meet Gu Yankai.

I'm afraid that if it spreads to the ears of officials, it will have a bad impact.

After teaching Gu Tingye.

Sheng Changbai visited again.

It was said that in the evening, Sheng Hong invited Wei Yuan to have dinner at home and have a few drinks together, which was considered a family banquet.

Wei Yuan was about to leave the Sheng family, and for Wei Shuyi's sake, he had to give him this face.

So he agreed to Sheng Hong's request.

Mrs. Sheng will also be attending tonight's dinner, as well as all the younger members of the Sheng family.

The main purpose is to let the Sheng family recognize Wei Yuan as a 'relative'.

Of course, it is a cliché to say that if Wei Yuan was not a regiment commander and had not achieved military exploits, it would be difficult to even enter the Sheng family.

Don't talk about going to any family dinner.

There is still some time before evening.

Wei Yuan took Minglan and went shopping in the market again.

Sheng Hong's main intention was to let the younger generation of the Sheng family meet him, the uncle of the Wei family.

In other words, during the Sheng family banquet, Wei Yuan's character is that of an elder.

Since we are the elders, we always have to give some greeting gifts to the younger ones.
