Yang Chengye opened the door and saw four or five strong men standing in the courtyard, with two maidservants and a horse carriage beside them.

  His mother, Wu Ruolan, sat opposite Shen You at a stone table.

  "Don't worry, big sister, I and my younger brother-in-law are like old friends, he will definitely agree."

  Shen You said to Wu Ruolan: "I'll send someone to pick you up first, and then rebuild this place. If you want to come back, you can still come back to live here."

  Wu Ruo Lan shook her head and said: "Shen Da Guan Ren, I appreciate your kindness, but I won't be able to go to your mansion. I believe my ancestors would not agree either."

  Seeing Wu Ruolan so resolute, Shen You was also in a dilemma and didn't know how to persuade her.

  "Mother, brother is here!"

  Just then, Yang Chengye walked out.

  "Long live the grandfather!"

  "Brother, are you awake?"

  Yang Chengye quickly walked over to Shen You and Wu Ruolan's side and asked: "What happened?"

  Wu Ruolan spoke first: "Uncle, Shen Da Guan Ren asked us to go live in his mansion and then renovate this place for you..."

  "Don't worry, daughter, I have my own measure!" Yang Chengye replied.

  "Brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse, take a look over there first."

  Upon hearing this, Yang Chengye followed Shen You's pointing hand and looked over, only to see a small courtyard gate with an incense table placed at the entrance, on which were arranged various offerings, including fruits, pig heads and sheep heads, all wrapped in red strings.

  "Brother, what's going on......"

  Looking at Xiang An, Yang Chengye said to Shen You in a daze.

  Hahaha

  Shen You burst out laughing and grabbed Yang Chengye's arm, walking outside while saying: "Although I'm just a merchant, I have great admiration for the chivalrous spirit of Jianghu people."

  "Brother, you not only helped me retrieve my sheepskin cloak, but also saved my mother's life, which is a great benevolence. Moreover, being able to ensure the peaceful passing of an elderly gentleman we've just met is a great righteousness."

  "As for you, brother, being such a magnanimous and righteous person, I would regret it if I missed this opportunity. Therefore, today I want to become sworn brothers with you."

  Shen You spoke eloquently and at length, and Yang Chengye finally seized the opportunity: "Brother, I think you have misunderstood. Actually..."

  Yang Chengye had not finished speaking when Shen You said again: "From now on, your mother is my mother, and your brother's property is your property."

  Shen You said "plop" and knelt down in front of the incense table, then pulled Yang Chengye down to kneel as well.

  Shen You grasped three incense sticks and lit them, reciting: "The heavens are above, the earth is below, Lord Guan is witness to my oath. I, Shen You, wish to form a bond of brotherhood with Yang Chengyu, not seeking to be born on the same year, month, or day, but seeking to die on the same year, month, and day. We will share good fortune together, and face difficulties together. If either of us betrays this oath, heaven and man will punish us, and we will not have a good death!"

  When Yang Chengye saw Shen You make such a heavy oath, he was immediately stunned. To know that ancient people were very cautious about making oaths, they revered the gods and believed that the gods really existed, so they never made oaths lightly, once they made an oath, they would die to keep it.

  As a new youth of the 21st century, Yang Chengye thinks that gods do not exist at all, and making vows is a common practice, never seen any spiritual efficacy.

  However, since his soul crossed over to the Southern Song Dynasty, Yang Chengye was confused about whether there were gods or not. He said he had never seen any gods, but if he said there were no gods, then how could this strange event of his soul crossing over be explained?

  At this time, Shen You looked at Yang Chengye with a somewhat unpleasant tone and said: "Why doesn't brother want to become sworn brothers with me?"

  Yang Chengye snapped out of it and said, "Brother, you've misunderstood."

  Yang Chengye said, also lighting three sticks of incense, his hands clasped together in prayer: "The heavens above, the earth below, Lord Guan is witness to my oath. I, Yang Chengye, am willing to become sworn brothers with Shen You, not seeking to be born on the same year, month and day, but seeking to die on the same year, month and day. We will share good fortune together, and face difficulties together. If either of us betrays this oath, may heaven and man join in punishing him, and may he not die a peaceful death!"

  Hahaha

  Yang Chengye and Shen You simultaneously inserted incense into the censer and burst out laughing.

  "Good brother!"

  "Big brother is above, please accept little brother's one bow!"

  Yang Chengye didn't experience the ritual of sworn brotherhood, but he saw some from TV dramas and immediately knelt down in front of Shen You.

  Hahaha......

  Shen You laughed and helped Yang Chengye up, saying: "Second brother, now you and I are one family. Your mother is also my mother. Supporting our mother is the responsibility that we as sons should fulfill."

  "Moreover, bringing your mother to live with your elder brother's family, she can also keep company with the old mother of your elder brother."

  It wasn't until then that Yang Chengye realized that Shen You had been waiting for him all along, and he didn't know what to say next.

  Yang Chengye smiled bitterly and said: "Everything will be arranged by big brother."

  Hehe

  "Then I'll make the decision for you, brother," Shen You said with a big laugh.

  Shen You said, waving his hand at the four or five strong men: "What are you standing there for? Don't you move my brother's family?"

  About forty or fifty big men responded with a shout and began to take action.

  Although Wu Ruolan couldn't see the scene of Yang Chengye and Shen You becoming sworn brothers, she had heard the whole story clearly. Since Yang Chengye had already made up his mind, there was no need for her to object anymore.

  Wu Ruolan let out a soft sigh and was then supported by two maidservants sent by Shen You as she walked towards the carriage.

  At this time, Yang Cheng also sighed endlessly. His soul had traveled back to the Southern Song Dynasty. He first met Huang Yaoshi, who would later be known as the Eastern Heretic, and Hong Qigong, who would later be known as the Northern Beggar. Then he became a disciple of Huang Zhenren and inherited his powerful skills, which he was still unable to control. Moreover, he obtained the world's number one extraordinary book, the "Nine Yin True Classic".

  Shen You pulled Yang Chengye, who was still in a daze, to sit down at the stone table and said, "Brother, didn't you say that today I would get to taste the heavenly wine of the mortal world? Where is it?"

  Upon hearing this, Yang Chengye was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "So big brother is also a connoisseur of good wine!"

  Yang Chengye said, taking out the pot of wine that he had distilled and processed himself and placing it in front of Shen You: "Big brother, try some and see how the flavor is?"

  Shen You didn't pour the wine into a bowl either, and instead directly drank from the spout of the jug.

  "Big brother, slow down, this wine is too strong..."

  Before Yang Chengye finished speaking, Shen You had already emptied a jug of wine.

  "Slap"

  Shen You slammed the wine jug heavily on the stone table, instantly shattering it into pieces.

  "Good wine, it's really a rare treasure in the world. Even the Wine God Du Kang couldn't brew such a fine wine!"

  Yang Chengye saw Shen You's cheeks flushed red and his body swaying, so he quickly supported him and said: "Big brother, you're drunk!"

  Shen Youyi slapped away Yang Chengye's hand and said: "Can this little wine get me drunk? I'm a thousand cups not drunk!"

  "Hey, brother, quickly ask your elder brother, where did you get such good wine from?"

  Yang Chengye pointed at his own nose and said: "If I say it's brewed by me, would you believe it, big brother?"

  Upon hearing this, Shen You's wine was immediately sobered by more than half, and he exclaimed: "What? You brewed it?"
