Spring is in full bloom, and the snow that has accumulated in Bailu Mountain for a winter is slowly beginning to melt.

Gu Qingshuang is six years old this year, and she has reached the age of enlightenment.

She has her own brother Gu Qinghong, two senior brothers Xie Qi and Zhao Pingchuan, Jiang Taichu, the elder brother of the Jiang family, and a senior sister Lu Yaoniang.

Qinghong has a saying, the five of them are from their father, Wu from their mother, and each of them is slightly arrogant, which can be described as the five tigers of Bailu Mountain. It's a pity that it's not done now, there is one more her, five tigers and a kitten, it sounds like it's not a device, the name is not loud, it has to be changed!

What to change, Qinghong and Zhao Pingchuan summed up for a long time, patted their heads, and decided on the flower name of Bailu Mountain Liuyi. Yao Niang pondered for a while, felt that it was okay, and reluctantly agreed. After that, he pointed to the second child of the Jiang family, who was only three years old and caught the dragonfly behind Qingshuang's buttocks, and asked, "Go back and add him, and become seven people, what should I call it, can't I call the seven fairies to the earth?" ”

Yao Niang herself has no opinion on this name, anyway, she is a big girl who is like a fake. She is three years old, when she was a child, the people of Bailu Mountain called her the nickname Songzi, since she was seven years old, the master said that it was time to call her by a big name, so Songzi became Yao Niang, not only her, the former Zhen Mushroom also became Xie Qi, and the antler velvet became Zhao Pingchuan.

"He," Qinghong squinted at Jiang Taiji, who was staggering, "It's still early, let's talk about it in a few years, it's a big deal to call the Seven Masters of Bailu Mountain." ”

Anyway, the Five Tigers of Bailu Mountain officially recognized Qingshuang, and welcomed her to learn kung fu and memorize the scriptures.

However, Qingshuang herself didn't think so. She has a flower name since she came along, and it is still passed down by word of mouth, and she is only given a nickname of one person, Princess Bailushan, how magnificent and loud. Although she sometimes feels weird and embarrassed, she has to admit that as the pearl of her parents, the only girl in the Jiang and Gu families, she has enjoyed the same treatment as the princess from birth to the present.

So she has her own ideas, and she doesn't bother to join that inexplicable organization at all, what Bailu Mountain Liuyi, serious and even Taiyi Pavilion can't come out, knowing how high the sky is outside, how wide the ground is, and the tone is not small, and the cow will let a few of them blow to the sky.

Shen Huan, the mother, picked a good day and asked her to worship her ancestors in the ancestral hall, and then formally worship the teacher, so that she can learn kung fu from then on. But on the right day, as soon as she entered the ancestral hall, she cried pear blossoms with rain, pointed to the tablet in the center and sobbed, and kept chanting words in her mouth.

At first, others couldn't hear what she said, staring at her with big eyes, looking at her in a posture that couldn't get up and was in a hurry, her mother was a temper tantrum, she couldn't bear it in the end, and broke off, "Speak well, cry and say, who knows what you mean?" ”

Qingshuang blinked with a pair of wonderful eyes, glanced at her mother as if she was afraid, and then whispered the reason, "Last night, I dreamed of my grandfather, and he talked to me a lot and asked me how I was doing...... I sued him that my mother wanted to teach me kung fu, but who knew that my grandfather wouldn't laugh when he heard it, and his face was long, and he said nonsense...... He said that the Shen family is a scholarly family, and he has been a poet for generations, and his old man is also a Jinshi, and later abandoned literature and martial arts in order to serve the imperial court...... Teach me not to learn from my mother, and to read books well is the right thing to do...... My grandfather said that if you want to learn, you should also learn from my father, two Jinshi, full of economy, girls don't read and don't understand reason, and they will suffer in the future......"

Ho, this long list of words made everyone dumbfounded. Looking at each other, they all felt like that. A six-year-old child can speak the truth, at least not nonsense.

"What Su Su said is also reasonable," her Aunt Bai was soft-hearted, she couldn't stand it anymore, and wiped her tears while shouting her small characters, "Your mother is just anxious, and she can't ease up anything, so she can bluff the child...... No, the old lady has a dream, it seems that she is not happy to practice kung fu when Su Suqing is a child, or let's infiltrate it for another year? ”

The latter sentence was said to Shen Huan. What kind of person is Shen Huan, with a hard mouth and a hard heart, and a clear brain, seeing that this aunt sings and harmonizes, he can still go straight to the point with an indifferent face.

"Tell me, what does my grandfather look like in my dreams?"

Qingshuang sniffled and stretched out her hand to gesqueal, "So tall, slender and long, darker than Daddy, quite majestic, oh yes, and a long beard!" ”

Shen Huan thought for a moment, thinking that he had never told her about his father's description before, but it was not bad, so his father's dream should be true.

"Forget it today, go back and choose another day, and go to the study with your brothers and sisters to study homework first."

Shen Huan waved his hand and dispersed. A teacher worship ceremony was carried out halfway and came to an abrupt end.

Qingshuang snuggled in Bai Yin's arms, sobbed twice, lowered her head and had a sly smile in her eyes, but her long eyelashes were covered, and no one could see clearly.

went back to the house, went straight to her spacious stepping bed, took off her shoes and climbed up, leaning on the green jade pillow to tease her little cat Huaniu to play. Lifting the cat's chin, the itching was down, and the flower girl felt comfortable, squinted her eyes and let out a thin meow.

Wen Xiu, who served her, brought freshly steamed cheese, she grew up with Qingshuang, two years older than the little master, and she was commensurate with each other's sisters, and they could be called each other's confidants.

Sitting down, Wen Xiu smiled and asked, "Satisfied?" This performance is good, but thank you Taichu brother for going to the study to steal the painting of the third master, otherwise, you can't tell what the old lady looks like. Promise someone else's embroidered purse, but don't forget, say it first, I can't replace you in this matter. ”

"Well, don't worry, sister, I will do it myself and never break my word." She is a good girl who is not the same, and she feels that the word righteousness is the most important in her life, "I can be regarded as escaping, I have to plan well, how to live the next good life to be worth it." ”

"I can't hide from the fifteenth year of junior high school, and I won't have to press my legs and stretch my tendons to learn art in the next year." Crisp and refreshing, listen to the sound first and then see people, it is Songzi who leaps in, she is ten years old, and she looks like a pretty girl, her dark braid hangs down at the back of her head, and she is very light and lively with her steps.

"Sister Matsuko." Qingshuang got out of bed with a smile and gave up her seat.

Matsuko smiled and reached out to point her eyebrows, "I really haven't gotten up, I'm going to school, and I'm still crying like that." Is it worth it? You are so afraid of hardship, and you really don't look like the daughter of the master. ”

Qingshuang lowered her eyes, and really felt a little ashamed, "I also know that I can't hide, but I can drag it out for a day." Sister, you know, I'm not interested in those kung fu, hidden weapons, cornices and walls. It's okay to talk about reading and reading with your father. On weekdays, seeing you practice so hard, I look at one head and two big. ”

With her tender hands like shallots, she wrung her handkerchief, and she said softly, "My father and mother won't let me go out, I've lived so big, I haven't even gone down to Bailu Mountain, what's the use of learning kung fu." Anyway, I don't fight with people, and I don't plan to go to any mountain to grab territory with people, so why bother? ”

"Hah, why bother! Sure enough, there is a girl in the Gu family who has just grown up, and there are few people who are heavy, and there are more eyes than flesh on their bodies. Mother is so shrewd and powerful, she was even put on a table by you. ”

Qinghong shook the folding fan and stepped in. Looking at Gu Cheng, whose eyebrows and eyes are completely trumpet, his expression is full of twists, and he has a natural look of indifference, as if no matter who or anything, he can't make him a little haunted.

Qingshuang didn't like him to put his father's face on his face, but he didn't have his father's gentle charm, but she had a gentle temper and never said anything provocative, but said, "Brother Hong, you just know it in your heart, but don't tell others, I'm not afraid of it, if Brother Chu is involved, it won't be good." ”

Qinghong nodded and shook her fan, "Whoever is interested in demolishing you, it's no good!" But according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, you should give us some benefits for the seal. In this way, although you have not officially read and practiced calligraphy, you have not less red on weekdays, and you will copy a copy of the same article of etiquette and fortune for me, and I will take it myself later, how about it? If you want to block it, don't make it look like a ghost drawing symbol. ”

He came to blackmail himself, Qingshuang really wanted to cry without tears. Catching up with such a brother, even Yao Niang couldn't listen to it, "Is there a person like you, how old is she, and she doesn't know all the serious words, so you ask her to copy books?" ”

"Afraid of what? Copying and copying will not be. Once born and twice cooked, I am here for her good, and no one can snatch it from her stomach by learning more knowledge. I don't believe you asked her, do you want to learn more literature than martial arts? ”

Qingshuang smiled and nodded, "Brother guessed well, I'll be tired of copying it for you." As for kung fu, I want to look back and tell my mother that I have learned enough kung fu from Second Uncle Jiang as a teacher. As for those flying knives and sleeve arrows, I feel dizzy every time I watch Sister Songzi practice, so forget it. ”

"Alas, what did I say, she just has a face exactly like her mother, and she has no rigidity on her mother's body at all, and she is soft and delicate." Qinghong sighed with emotion, "The second senior brother will be here for me to end, and Bailu Mountain must be the world dominated by the five tigers......"

Qingshuang didn't feel who was dominant, but it was the title in her brother's words that aroused her curiosity. She knows, Su Ri is the senior brother, Zhen Mushroom is the oldest and the first to enter the door, but the second in the ranking, the few people behind him call him the second senior brother, as for the senior brother, he has never seen it. Qinghong asked her mother, and the answer she got was a bit simple and crude, the eldest brother died, and he died many years ago. Other than that, no one even mentions the first name.

But she had seen that in the room next to the ancestral hall, there was a small tablet, which was arranged solemnly around it, although the words she recognized were limited, but she still remembered the simple name on the tablet, Liangze.

Qingshuang decided to ask her father. In the long afternoon, while the people she served were napping, she slipped into the study. At this time, the only person in Taiyi Pavilion who did not stop awakening was her father Gu Cheng.

He sat behind the bookcase, his body upright and straight, as he did in no one's place. Qingshuang is used to seeing her father reading at the desk or playing with a pen, but she still feels that there is a kind of beautiful beauty that she never gets tired of seeing.

She was small, standing on the ground just a little taller than the bookcase, poking her little head out with a sweet smile on her face.

Gu Cheng got up, walked in front of her, squatted down and looked at her, "Why don't you sleep?" Looking for Daddy? ”

She said yes, and grabbed Gu Cheng's sleeve with her little hand, "I have a secret I want to ask my father for advice." ”

Gu Cheng was amused by her appearance, picked her up, and sat back on the chair, "Let's talk about it, Daddy knows everything." ”

What her father said always had the power to iron people's hearts, she was very down-to-earth, 1510 said her confusion, and then asked, "If that Liangze is the first apprentice of Niang's acceptance, then his kung fu should be good, but why did he die?" He can't be very old, right? ”

Gu Cheng looked at her approvingly and smiled slightly. He was pleased with his daughter's intelligence and sensitivity, and as she grew up, she slowly gained her own judgment about the people and things around her. He didn't think he should hide anything, so he told her a story. The story involves the Shen family, revenge, and Liangze, an innocent but unwarranted person who bears heavy grievances.

He described those details in a calm tone, without bias, and told the truth. After telling the story, the father and daughter faced each other silently, and he saw that a layer of mist gradually filled between his daughter's pure and immaculate eyes.

"In this way, that brother Liangze is so pitiful, he was dragged into the revenge plan by his mother, like a bait for fishing." Qingshuang tilted her head, her mind was full of the miserable green boy with a bleak background in the story, "My mother did something wrong in this matter, so Brother Liangze was unwilling, he actually just wanted to know if there was a person like him in my mother's heart." Later, the things he did may have been beyond the scope of his control, he was too wronged......"

Qingshuang sighed, her beautiful eyebrows frowning cutely, "Although what he did hurt his father, he didn't want to." If only my mother could have rescued him earlier...... It doesn't seem to be possible, and my mother gave birth to Brother Hong at that time...... It turned out to be all a mistake. ”

She muttered, and Gu Cheng listened quietly. He only stated the facts, did not add his own feelings and feelings, what he wanted was to listen to his daughter's conscious and spontaneous perception of the whole thing. Now that he heard it, he felt comforted.

"No wonder Zhen Mushroom is just the second senior brother." She sighed and concluded, her eyes lit up, "But my mother still thinks about Brother Liangze, she hasn't forgotten him, so she will set up a spiritual position for him, and she will worship him every year, after all, my mother still feels guilty in her heart, and feels sorry for him, is that so?" ”

Gu Cheng bowed, "Yes, he is alone, and he has been dead for eight years." What we living people can do is not forget him, and mourn him often, hoping that he will be free from suffering and happy in the next life. ”

Qingshuang was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask if people really have an afterlife? But she saw her father's compassionate eyes, and she felt sad that she wanted to say goodbye, so she swallowed that sentence. Maybe my father doesn't know either, so I just regard the afterlife as a beautiful wish, and only when there is hope in life can we appreciate the meaning of waiting and persevering.

"You told her everything?" After Qingshuang left, Shen Huan slowly walked out from the inside, she was a little melancholy, but she couldn't complain about Gu Cheng, "You say, will she think I'm too ruthless?" ”

He took her hand, and Wen Xu replied, "No, she is more sensitive and understanding than you think." Even if you feel that you are doing something wrong, it will not immediately dismiss you as a person. On the one hand, because you are her mother, and on the other hand, she has her own observations and thoughts, as long as you let her see that you are an upright person now and in the future, she will respect and love you as before. ”

"Really?" She leaned on his arms, as if her heart was palpitating, "I don't want to be looked down upon by my daughter, then I really can't be a person in the future." ”

He shook his head, "No, you have to believe me." ”

"Why are you so sure?" She was puzzled.

Smiling softly, he told her seriously, "Because she is like me, I can read her mind." ”

The wind was blowing outside the window, the shadows of the trees were waving, and the cicadas of early summer were gradually sounding, but a sense of tranquility rose in her heart. Because of him by his side, and because of this life, he also gained a daughter who is in the same vein as him, gentle and generous, kind and considerate.
