Volume 1 Chapter 3 The Neurological Disease Shows Some Improvement

  "Get well soon!" Tang Wei Xi pushed open the door of Tang Guan's bedroom and shouted.

  Tang Guan, who was squatting on the ground with a silly smile, also looked up when he saw someone coming in.

  "Wow, this fatty looks like he's either rich or noble, must be my dad!" Tang Guan looked over and saw Tang Weixi standing there with a furrowed brow.

  "Father!" A loud and mournful cry, like a dog seeing meat, Tang Guan rushed up.

  "Slap!" Instead, a crisp slap came, accompanied by pain that dazed Tang Guan, and unfortunately, it landed on the right cheek that Tang Guan had self-inflicted before.

  "You silly child, how many times have I taught you? 'Papa' and 'Mama' are common terms, when you see your father, you should call him 'Sir'! Get up quickly!" (Note: According to the Book of Tang, in the Tang Dynasty, fathers were referred to as "Sir")

  Tang Guan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and immediately stood up, "Is this an official, am I not his son?"

  "Sir, my head hurts so much." Tang Guan understood some ancient literary expressions, but for a moment he didn't quite understand what was going on, and could only speak vaguely.

  Tang Weixi was surprised to hear this, Tang Guanping was usually silly and rarely listened, thinking it was just a coincidence, he immediately turned his sleeve in anger and sat down at the desk in the bedroom.

  "We spent a lot of money to hire the best teacher for you, but you drove him away with your temper!" Tang Wei Xi said angrily while slapping the table, although he knew that Tang Guan might not understand, his anger couldn't be contained.

  "Something's not quite right, it seems I've possessed the body of a young master." Tang Guan's eyes rolled around in circles, sensing that the atmosphere was off, but unaware that he had possessed the body of a renowned wealthy family's foolish young master.

  "The child knows he was wrong, the child will study hard from now on and make progress every day"

  Tang Wei subconsciously wanted to reply: "You..."

  Then suddenly discovered something was wrong, sat up with a start, "What did you just say!?"

  "My god, it can't be wrong again, this is what Chairman Mao said" Tang Guan saw the surprised look on Tang Wei's face and his heart skipped a beat.

  Tang Guan didn't speak, and Tang Wei Xi surprisingly stepped forward, grasping Tang Guan's two arms with both hands, shaking him as he asked: "What did you just say?"

  "The child said he knew he was wrong and would listen to adults from now on."

  This time he spoke clearly, Tang Wei Xi opened his eyes wide, slowly releasing the Tang crown, and slowly retreated a few steps.

  "Ancestors are manifesting! Ancestors have manifested!" Tang Weixi was shocked for a moment before suddenly becoming wildly excited.

  Seeing Tang Wei Xi's unpredictable expression, Tang Guan got goosebumps and felt that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable.

  "What... what's your name?" Tang Wei Xi asked with his hands clasped together and a face full of expectation.

  "Hey, kid, call out 'Tang...' Tang..." Tang Guanzhi hesitated for half a day, and the surname he said was extremely vague. He had no idea which family he had ended up in. If it wasn't the Tang family, he'd be in trouble.

  "Right, your surname is Tang, name Guan, and courtesy name Qubing." But Tang Weixi carefully listened to the faint sound of the word "Tang", and was even more surprised and delighted. Before Tang Guan could say anything in his confusion, he had already spoken out.

  "The child is called Tang Guan, with the courtesy name Qu Bing." Tang Guan heard this and was delighted in his heart. It turned out that they shared the same name and surname, except for a strange courtesy name, which didn't matter to him. He immediately went along with it and spoke fluently.

  "Haha! My son is cured, our ancestors are protecting us!" Tang Wei Xi's tense mood instantly dissipated, and he rushed forward to hug Tang Guan tightly, revealing his excitement. As it was known that the etiquette of ancient people was complex, unless one's emotions were extremely high, they would rarely be at a loss for what to do with their hands.

  "Tang went to the illness? I'm actually sharing a name with General Huo Da" Tang Guan felt Tang Wei Xi's bear hug, while thinking about his own name, still unaware of why he was given the character "went to the illness".

  "It must be that this kid has just recovered from a serious illness, and seeing me so energetic and lively, with an air of majesty in my demeanor, he's overjoyed to the point of being speechless."

  Thinking of Tang Guan's shameless self-satisfaction, he also learned from him and shouted loudly: "Sir! From now on, I will be filial to you!"

  When he heard this, Tang Wei Xi burst into loud sobs. He had always been henpecked and had given birth to a foolish child but did not dare to continue. His wife was also infertile for a long time, and now that she was already past her prime, the only descendant of the Tang family, Tang Guan, was actually not stupid, and his excitement was beyond words.

  "Impossible, is there something wrong?" Tang Guanyou's small body was picked up by Tang Weixi, looking at this chubby kid with a nose full of snot and tears.

  "What kind of serious illness have I gotten? Is it that bad?" Tang Guan pretended to be excited and sobbed, while secretly ridiculing in his heart.

  "Recovery! Your foolish illness is finally cured, the great master in the temple said that you must obtain heavenly fate at the age of eight, and it's really true!" Tang Wei Xi sobbed while muttering to herself, afraid that the Tang Guan in her arms was just a fleeting dream.

  The three words "foolish and silly" fell into Tang Guan's ears, but they were like a thunderbolt.

  "My god, it turns out I've made some progress with my terminal neurodegenerative disease, no wonder he's so excited"

  Upon learning the truth, Tang Guanyou's young heart was instantly filled with a thousand holes. He had thought he just caught some kind of cold or flu, but in this era, even minor illnesses were extremely difficult to cure. Little did he know that it was actually a case of intellectual disability that would leave people in later generations helpless.

  "Let's go see your mother," Tang Wei said, and immediately carried Tang Guan out the door.

  "So it turns out I have a mother too. According to this setup, she must be a middle-aged beautiful woman with big breasts and a round butt. Looking at how cheap my old man is, she's probably a rich person too."

  Tang Guan leaned closely into Tang Wei Xi's bosom, the Tang family mansion was indeed impressive, with a spacious courtyard and a grand entrance hall, before finally stopping in front of a door.

  There was a pretty servant girl at the door. Seeing Tang Wei Xi holding Tang Guan, her face full of excitement, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. Just as she was about to speak: "Master..." she was pushed away by Tang Wei Xi.

  "Ah!" Tang Wei Xi had just stepped inside the door when he was startled by a loud shriek, causing him to take several steps back. He saw a woman soaking in a wooden tub, and Tang Guan's eyes were also wide with shock at the sight of the woman's robust physique. The tub was quite large, but the woman took up almost three-quarters of it, revealing just how obese she was.

  "This isn't my mom... this isn't my mom..." Tang Guan, who was still daydreaming on the road, suddenly turned pale. He had thought that even if his cheap old dad was a bit chubby, at least his mother would be pretty, and maybe he could inherit some good genes. But it turns out one is worse than the other.

  The fat woman who saw Tang Weixi also stopped her voice and scolded loudly: "You old thing, you've got a lot of nerve!"

  In an instant, she saw the Tang Crown in Tang Wei Xi's arms, her face changed, and she suddenly shouted: "Ah! You old devil, my son is not stupid, you brought him here, are you going to drive my mother and son out of the house?!"

  "I'm going... This is really my mother..." Tang Guan's last bit of hope was extinguished, this fat woman not only looked ugly, but also had a temperament that was a perfect shrew and a nag.

  "Sister... how dare I, I'll leave first... I'll leave first..." (Note: Tang Dynasty wife's alias)

  Translation:

  "Big sister... how dare I, I will go out first... I will go out first..."

  After finishing speaking, Tang Weixi took out a desperate-looking Tang Guan and retreated. The maid by the door then smiled and said: "Master, I almost stopped you, what are you doing with Young Master?"

  "Nothing to do with you, go down first!" Tang Weixi was also quite annoyed at the maid who had just blocked her way, but thinking of Tang Guan's recovery made her excited again.

  "Come on in, husband."

  Hearing his wife's call from inside the room, Tang Weixi finally carried Tang Guan and pushed the door open again, closing it behind him with a backhand.

  The fat woman was now dressed and sat on the chair, staring at the wet hair and the bent chair, Tang Guan swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

  "Tell me, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" The fat woman also calmed down at this time and knew that her husband was usually afraid of her. He was a scholar by nature and wouldn't be so flustered without good reason.

  "Wife, our ancestors are showing their divine presence! Our ancestors are showing their divine presence!"

  Mrs. Tang frowned upon hearing this and urged, "First put down the medicine for treating illness."

  Tang Weixi came back to his senses and hastily put down Tang Guan, saying: "Go get Mother"

  Tang Guan looked at Tang Wei Xi's expectant face and forced himself to say: "Mother, I've recovered from my illness."

  "Ah!" The originally calm and composed fat woman suddenly gasped, her small eyes under her plump face widening in incredulity as she stared at Tang Guan.

  After a long time, it suddenly burst out, "Cure my son!"

  Almost as good as Tang Weixi, he rushed forward and hugged Tang Guan tightly, but no matter whether it was strength or body width, he was much larger than Tang Weixi.

  Suddenly Tang Guan was almost suffocated, "Cough...cough...Mother"

  Madam Tang finally let go of Tang Guan and tearfully looked him up and down.

  Tang Guan rushed back into her arms and shouted: "Mother, I was unfilial, from now on I will be good and filial to you and Father"

  Tang Guan also saw through it a bit and seemed that Old Cheap was a bit afraid of his wife, so he immediately caught the wind direction and started flattering her.

  "Our ancestors' spirits have been appeased! Let's set up an altar to worship our ancestors and arrange a flowing water banquet! The Tang family can finally hold their heads high!" Tang Weixi gazed at this "moving" scene, also with tears streaming down his face.
