Not long after, Xue Changshou walked quickly to Guo Song's official room.

When Xue Changshou followed Guo Song to Anxi as a military doctor, he was about forty years old, and more than ten years later, he was almost sixty years old.

However, he is a physician and is very good at taking care of himself, there is not a single gray hair on his head, and there is no wrinkle on his face, and he looks like he is in his early forties.

But what is a bit ironic is that Xue Changshou is the best at treating infertility, but he himself has no children under his knees, only two daughters, both daughters are married, and even his grandson is several years old.

The grandson is also the heir of someone else's family, and it has nothing to do with him, which really makes Xue Changshou sad, but he never thought that when he was close to the sixtieth birthday, the maid Chunxing would become pregnant and give birth to a child.

Although Chunxing is already Zhou Ping'an's wife, her intuition tells Xue Changshou that the child is his, Xue Changshou is ecstatic, after the child enters the house, the more he looks at it, the more he looks like when he was young, and he refuses to let go.

"Your Highness looking for me?" Xue Changshou entered the room and asked.

Guo Song pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down and talk." ”

Xue Changshou sat down, Guo Song looked at him with a smile for a long time, "Is it the recent spring breeze crossing the mansion, and a happy event is coming?" ”

Xue Changshou was in his heart, 'Oh! 'Suddenly, could it be that His Royal Highness King Jin is looking for himself for that matter?

He nodded, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, there is indeed a happy event, I have a son." ”

"Lao Xue has a son in his old age, this is a great joy, why do you hide it and don't let everyone share your joy?"

"This ......" Xue Changshou was speechless for a while.

Guo Song knocked on the paper on the table, "People have already sued me, accusing you of occupying the wife and forcibly taking the son of man, Lao Xue, if this matter is true, you will not be able to protect the future!" ”

Xue Changshou suddenly had a swelling of his head tendons, jumped up and said, "Where did I occupy a wife?" Chunxing confinement was not done well, she re-confinement in my house, mending her body, I didn't touch her at all, the child is clearly my son, why can't I take my son back? ”

"Don't worry! Hold your horses! You sit down and say slowly, I am now learning the truth, solving this matter is related to the reputation of the Jin Palace, I can't ignore it. ”

Xue Changshou sat down and said hatefully: "It's a big deal that I resign, and I won't affect Your Highness!" ”

"What are these words, you have been with me for so many years, I don't know who you are? It doesn't matter if I'm King Jin or your old boss, I'm going to figure things out. ”

Xue Changshou sighed, "If you want to ask anything, Your Highness will ask!" I'll tell you the truth and won't hide it. ”

"Lao Xue, I know that you have married two concubines in order to have a son, but you have not given birth to children, why are you so sure that the child is yours?"

"Your Highness doesn't know, I'm a doctor, I've been recuperating myself, but I'm not willing to have no heirs, I want to finally Bo Yibo, I know that I can actually have children, but my wife is old, one of the two concubines is in her thirties, and the other is over the age of giving birth, so the news of Chunxing's pregnancy came, I specially calculated the time carefully, it should be my seed, but for the sake of face, I don't want to harass others."

"And then? You're still going to harass. Guo Song shook his head and said.

"Nope! No! No! Your Highness, please listen to me, she used to be my wife's personal maid, after she gave birth to a child, I specially asked my wife to visit her, and my wife came back to tell me that the child is very delicate, not like the Zhou family, the eyebrows, eyes and face are exactly the same as when I was young, Your Highness, I am fifty-eight years old this year, and I finally have a son, can you understand my feelings? ”

Speaking of this, Xue Changshou was extremely emotional, and he actually covered his face and cried bitterly.

Guo Song was really embarrassed in his heart, there was no genetic testing in the Tang Dynasty, so it was really unclear who the child was, what if it was really Xue Changshou?

This kind of thing can only be mediated to see which party is willing to let go in the end.

"Then you and Zhou Ping'an have a good talk!"

"I was willing to talk to him, but he insisted that I occupy his wife and children, and refused to talk about life or death, just making trouble, making trouble every day, I began to endure it, but the housekeeper couldn't bear it anymore, so he reported to the official."

"How bad is he?" Guo Song asked.

"It's just that he stands at the gate every day and scolds by name, but he threw stones into the house at night, and as a result, he smashed a hole in the cook's head, and the blood didn't stop, so the county government arrested him."

Guo Song groaned and said, "Okay! I'm here to persuade Zhou Ping'an to negotiate with you, and it's up to you whether you can negotiate it or not. ”

..........

Of course, Guo Song would not go to Zhou Ping'an by himself, he sent his own soldier Zhao Jun to persuade Zhou Ping'an, there is no reason in this matter, even if he is forced, he must let Zhou Ping'an sit down and negotiate.

Half an hour later, Zhao Jun came back and smiled at Guo Song: "Zhou Ping'an has already agreed, and he will go to Xue's house early tomorrow morning to negotiate." ”

Guo Song was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "How did you convince him?" ”

Zhao Jun said with a smile: "There is still a way for Wu County, he took the cook's husband to Zhou's house to claim compensation, medical expenses, and injury expenses, and claim one hundred and twenty yuan, otherwise he will be sentenced to five years in prison for intentional injury."

But the Zhou family is so poor, they can't even take out five coin money, their grandfather and grandmother cried and persuaded Zhou Ping'an, Zhou Ping'an had to agree, although this method was a little ruthless, but he didn't blackmail him, he did hurt people, if the Xue family didn't advance this money, he would have to lose money himself! ”

........

At dinner, the children scrambled to tell Guo Song about today's play, and when it came to the flower boat parade, even Guo Jincheng, who had always been old and steady, couldn't help it, and he asked curiously: "Daddy, how did you get that knife swallowing and spitting fire?" It's just amazing! ”

Guo Song laughed and said to his eldest son: "You have to remember one thing, if only one or two people master the skill of swallowing knives and spitting fire, it may be a very deep skill, but if many people can, then there is a problem!" ”

Guo Jincheng scratched his head, "Then how many people know this skill?" ”

"It is estimated that there are hundreds of Brahmin in Chang'an, and there are probably countless in their hometown."

Even Dugu Youlan couldn't help it, and hurriedly asked, "Husband, what's the trick here?" ”

"Tricks! In fact, it is also very simple, those daggers look cold and shining, but its blade is round and blunt, polished very smooth, and then slowly slides down the esophagus, to the throat is almost the same, if there is a dagger is very long, up to two feet, then its handle must also be very long, the inside is empty, while swallowing it shrinks into the hilt, it looks like swallowing two feet, but in fact it may have swallowed less than a foot. ”

Guo Jincheng was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "This.... Isn't that fake? ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "So it's called Baiju, not martial arts, which means that it has tricks, not real kung fu." ”

Guo Jincheng realized, and he hurriedly asked, "What about spitting fire?" ”

"Spitting fire is also a trick, you must not have seen anyone looking up to the sky and spitting fire! It must be to take a circle with fire, they actually spray not fire, but an easily burning liquid, to the very pure wine, Meishou wine is not enough, purify it more than a dozen times, it can almost ignite the fire, spew out the wine mist, and when it passes through the fire ring, it ignites at once. ”

"I see!" Guo Jincheng was really a little disappointed.

Guo Song said with a smile: "This kind of spitting fire actually requires skills, it must be sprayed very evenly, and the amount of gas must be sufficient, at least it takes several years of hard practice to gradually master the trick, swallowing knives is the same, it is very dangerous, if you are not careful, you will poke your throat and die, I don't know how many people have lost their lives for practicing it, we only see the surface is bright, and behind it is to pay the price of hardship." ”

Guo Jincheng nodded, began to eat seriously, and stopped talking.

Guo Weiwei whispered: "Daddy, I want to learn to sing!" ”

Guo Song was stunned for a moment, how could his daughter come up with such a strange idea?

Next to him, Xue Tao explained with a smile: "Weiwei listened to Liu Caichun sing very beautifully, so she was moved. ”

Guo Song smiled dumbly, "What a stupid child, Liu Caichun is talented, she may be the only one among hundreds of millions of people, I heard that she not only sings well, but also writes poems well, landscape painting is a must, you learn landscape painting with her, I think it will be more rewarding." ”

Xue Tao said with a smile: "Husband, I plan to invite Liu Caichun to live in the house for a period of time to teach Weiwei to paint and sing, and my husband has no objection!" ”

Guo Song picked up his glass and said: "As long as Liu Caichun herself is willing, I don't object, if she doesn't want to come, don't force others." ”

Zhang Minqiu next to him said with a smile: "In fact, the eldest sister has already sent out an invitation, and Liu Caichun promised that she would come to our house tomorrow as a guest." ”

Guo Song nodded, at this time, the children had eaten dinner and went back to their rooms, Guo Song took a sip of wine and said to the three wives: "An incident happened today, it's really a headache, let me tell you, how do you think it can be solved?" ”

Guo Song told the three wives about Xue Changshou, this kind of thing has always been the topic that women are most interested in, and they suddenly can't care about eating.

"I think the most important thing in this is Zhou Ping'an's wife!"

Xue Tao hit the nail on the head and said: "Xue Changshou has never had a reputation for being lustful, and he will not easily get involved with maids, why did this happen on the last night she served her master, and she was still married." ”

"Eldest sister, do you mean that this woman is deliberately seducing Xue Changshou?" Dugu Youlan asked.

Xue Tao shook his head, "I don't dare to say this, but this matter is very strange, and judging from her various performances, she is a person who hates the poor and loves the rich, and the matter is big, and she has the greatest responsibility in this." ”

Zhang Minqiu said: "Eldest sister, will there be such a possibility, she didn't know that Zhou Ping'an's family was very poor, because they were in Taiyuan before, and Zhou Ping'an was from Chang'an, maybe she wanted to come to Chang'an, and then followed Zhou Ping'an to Chang'an, and found that his family was very poor, she began to regret it, but she was already pregnant, and she had no choice, but after the child was born, Xue Changshou came to fight for the child, and she found that it was an opportunity, so she changed her mind." ”

Dugu Youlan snorted, "It's even more wrong to say this, a woman who is obviously married has to have a relationship with another man, this is not abiding by women's morals, this kind of woman should be arrested and severely punished!" ”

"Second sister, what if she was forced to do so at that time? After all, Xue Changshou is her master! The master made a request, how dare she disobey? Zhang Minqiu has always been more sympathetic to Zhou's wife, perhaps because she was also born as a maid.

Guo Song knew that their conversation would not be conclusive, so he got up and said, "You continue to talk, I'll go to the study first!" ”

After Guo Song left, Guo Weiwei quietly slipped over from the side, pestered her mother and said, "Mother, I think that Zhou Ping'an is very pitiful, and he was arrested!" ”

The three women looked at each other and said with a straight face: "This kind of thing is not something you should ask, hurry back to your room!" ”

Guo Weiwei pouted and left unhappy.

Xue Tao got up and said with a smile: "You go to my study first, I brought tea to my husband, and then we will continue to talk." ”
