179.Xia Ji's Troubled Times (19)
Xia Ji bowed to Qu Wu because of her son's rash name, all sorry, and then walked in with Xia Nan and Fu'er.
Qu Wu didn't know how he followed the beautiful woman in front of him into the house where the sheep tongue lived. He watched the other party flicker, watched the other turn around, watched the other party stride, and the air she left behind was full of sweetness.
"This is Qu Wu, the doctor of the Chu State, and he is one of the people I respect the most in this world. This is the owner of the forest that I mentioned to you, Mrs. Chen Guoxia and the youngest Sima Xianan. The sheep tongue skillfully introduced the people on both sides.
The owner of the forest, Mrs. Xia, Qu Wu stared intently at the beautiful woman in front of him, and the information about her in his mind appeared as clearly as the words printed on a book.
Less prestigious, princes compete for marriage. Eighteen is unmarried, and he is allowed to be an uncle. The following year, he gave birth and faded out of the strife of various countries. It wasn't until a few years ago that Uncle Yu went back into people's field of vision. However, it has become discredited.
Qu Wu looked at the ice-carved person in front of him, imagining the bumpy situation after this simple resume. How important is a woman's reputation? Just by looking at it, he believes that the other party has suffered a great grievance over the years. What kind of psychologically filthy person is embarrassed to ruin such a woman's reputation?
Thinking of those people who were rumored to have "affairs" with the woman in front of him, Gongsun Ning and Yixing's father, Qu Wu felt gritted his teeth. Fortunately, they are all dead, otherwise he would definitely let them not survive and die.
The second merchant, the king of Xianchu, actually killed Gongzi Man on impulse and lost such a good woman! Qu Wu felt full of sympathy for him when he thought about it, even though he robbed his former fiancée.
But fortunately, thanks to his recklessness, he didn't marry the beautiful woman in front of him. Otherwise, as the widow of the former monarch, how can she still have the opportunity to stand side by side with her now, and how can she still be by her side to protect her in the future.
Qu Wu made up a lot of things in his brain at once, and he didn't notice the situation in front of him.
"Qu Bo, Qu Bo!" the sheep cried several times, as if Qu Wu had not heard it. He secretly tugged at the other party's sleeve a few times, and Qu Wu came back to his senses.
"Huh?" Qu Wu looked back, blank.
"Uh...... This pot of peach blossom brew of mine was given to me by Mrs. Xia when I was in Zhulin. I've never been willing to drink it, so I took it out today just in time. How about Qu Bo taste?" the sheep tongue concealed the embarrassment just now, and he wondered slightly. Why does Qu Bo look weird today?
Mrs. Xia sent it? Qu Wu felt a little jealous in his heart.
He picked up the three-legged bronze sheep wine bottle in front of him, drank it all, and boasted: "Good wine! Good wine! Smell drunk, full of mellow aroma! It is worthy of being a fine wine of the forest!"
However, the one in the sheep bottle is the pear blossom white, and the one in the bird's head and one ear next to it is the peach blossom brew. One is a spirit, and the other is a sake with a relatively low content of wine, because Mrs. Xia is here, and he wants to drink it to the fullest, so he specially prepared these two kinds of wine. Sheep's tongue didn't believe that Qu Wu wouldn't be able to taste the difference.
Xia Nan was very arrogant and didn't notice this kind of detail. But Natsuhime noticed. According to the custom of this time, spirits were served in drinking utensils in the shape of sheep, pigs, horses, cows, and other livestock, while sake with low alcohol content, such as peach blossom brewing, was served in drinking utensils in the shape of birds and birds. Qu Wu was obviously drinking strong wine just now, but he praised his peach blossom brew.
Thinking about Qu Wu in her previous life, and comparing the person in front of her, Xia Ji couldn't help but stroke her forehead. This is a fool!
Although the sheep's tongue is not clear, as a junior, it is impossible for him to expose the shortcomings of an elder. So he quickly changed the subject and lifted the page.
A table of wine was drunk until the sun set in the west, and everyone got something. After saying goodbye to each other, Qu Wu turned back and inquired with Yang Yu about what he knew about Xia Ji.
Even if he is a fool, he knows Qu Wu's intentions at this time.
"Uncle Qu, can I ask, why Mrs. Xia?" the sheep tongue couldn't help but ask this question.
Although Mrs. Xia is indeed very beautiful and excellent, and she still carries such a proverb on her body, she is thirty years old after all, and she has such a big son.
And Qu Wu is a well-known sage in various countries, needless to say how many people think about him. Among them, there are many people who are much better than today's Mrs. Xia. At least as far as Yang Yu knows, the kings of Jin and Xun have planned to marry the princess and the county lord to him to win him over. They are young, beautiful, and noble. As long as he wants, what kind of woman can't he marry?
After all, the prophecy is false, and it may make people rush to it for a while, but the talent is real, and it can't be mixed with water. Besides, when a woman is older, she is older than a man, which is not a concept at all.
Although Mrs. Xia also stirred up the situation in various countries when she was young, but now when people mention him, they don't take that proverb seriously, but as a kind of talking point. In the eyes of the people, her time has passed.
And although Qu Wu has not been able to give full play to his talents all these years due to unknown reasons among the monarchs, his status in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of various countries has not been reduced at all.
Qu Wu was silent for a long time. He looked at the sky that was darkening a little, and the stars that were gradually brightening up in the sky, and his eyes were shining.
"What if I say, providential?"
Providence doomed, they should be together. Otherwise, why did she appear in her dreams so often? Why did she only think of marrying a wife when she saw her? Why did she feel that life was boring when she heard that she was married? Why did she feel that the gray world had a color again when she was alone?
His marriage is unfavorable, and the other party's life is also rough. God wants to tell them that they can only be happy when they are together, right? Yes, it must be so!
After Qu Wu finished speaking, he didn't care about the sheep's tongue's reaction, and left with his sleeves brushed up.
Seeing that Qu Bo, who he thought he would never fall in love with, fell in love like this, he felt incredible. Thinking about how the two looked together, they inexplicably took it for granted. It's a complicated and contradictory feeling.
In the end, he prostrated himself in front of the case and wrote a letter to his father, telling him that the old friend he had been thinking of in his heart had finally blossomed.
A few days after this meeting, Qu Wu went on another trip to the sheep's tongue.
"What is the matter with Uncle Qu looking for me?" asked the sheep tongue respectfully, but he was already sure in his heart, it must have something to do with Mrs. Xia.
Qu Wu was a little embarrassed. They are all smart people, as soon as he speaks, his thoughts will be fully understood by the other party. He is an elder, and with the help of a junior, he pursues the object of his affection, which is really embarrassing.
He used his finger to buckle the pineapple table in front of him for a long time, and finally spoke: "I heard that your good friend Xia Nan doesn't have a good master at the moment. I think that kid has good qualifications, and I can't bear to see him wasted, you go and tell Mrs. Xia, I am willing to be his master. ”
Qu Wu said this, and he felt that his face was as thick as a city wall.
Ho! I'm going to make a move. Is it so fast that you are afraid that the other party will fly? and you have found such a high-sounding reason.
The sheep's tongue was secretly slandered, but he still said with a respectful and polite look on his face: "If Zhengshu can be taught by Qu Bo, his future achievements will definitely be limitless." I will do my best to make this happen. Here, I will first take the expedition and thank Qu Bo. ”
After speaking, he bowed and bowed, and the number of courtesies was very thoughtful.
"Well, I'm on a tight schedule, so I'll reply to you as much as possible. Uh~ preferably tomorrow. "Anyway, it's all cheeky, so why not be thicker?" Qu Wu hurriedly threw out such a sentence.
Khan: Qu Bo, tell me, how desperate are you to see Mrs. Xia? Is it really shameless in front of me? Is it really good to show yourself so unscrupulously and fruitfully?
Sure enough, no matter how powerful a person is, when he encounters feelings, this thing will become unreasonable. He felt that he should think carefully about whether he should consider getting married at such a young age. He doesn't want to be like this!
However, he respectfully agreed, "Okay." Don't worry, I will definitely do it. ”
"By the way, you must sue them, it's your idea!"
“…… Okay!" the goat's tongue couldn't believe his ears. Is this really the Qu Bo in his mind?
"Well, Uncle Xiang! I value you very much, and I'm sure you won't let me down. Qu Wu patted the sheep's shoulder earnestly, and left contentedly.
Leaving the sheep's tongue alone in the wind. I've done so many things to please you, and you haven't said that, just to be able to see a woman openly, you value me?
However, no matter how much he complained in his heart, he still had to do what he promised. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, Yang Yudi changed his clothes, rearranged his image and went to find Xia Ji and Xia Nan.
"Mother, mother, Dr. Qu wants to be my master!" Xia Nan ran to Xia Ji's room like a whirlwind and said to her happily.
"Hmm, what's going on?" asked Natsuhime, raising her eyes. This child's love has not been very stable these days.
Yang Yu was already speechless about Qu Wu and Xia Nan's painting style in the past two days, and now he saw that Xia Ji was quite normal, and he was busy answering questions.
"Dr. Qu has no children under his knees, and he wants to accept a disciple to inherit his talents. In the next day, I saw that Zhengshu did not have a formal master, and Dr. Qu had a good impression of him, so he recommended it. Unexpectedly, Dr. Qu agreed. I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and I came to tell sù. ”
The sheep's tongue is reasonable, which not only covers up the fact that Qu Wu "took the initiative to post upside down", but also does not highlight his role too much, which can be said to be very appropriate.
"Thank you, Childe!I've been thinking about Master Nan'er, I didn't expect him to be so blessed!" Xia Ji approved of this matter.
