Chapter Twenty-Seven: When the Wise Meet, the Virtuous Win
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Championship Record!
Although Cao Shuli was slightly disappointed in her heart, she thought that even if Xia Xiang proposed to her first, she might not be able to make her own decisions, she had to be allowed by her parents, and even Ruohan tasted the warmth and coldness of the world alone, she should get started before her. It's better to be a good person to the end, she took a step forward and grabbed Lian Ruohan's arm, and shook it gently: "Sister Lian, you see that Xia Langjun is also alone, and so are you, it is also a good thing that the two of you get married as soon as possible, at least in the world, you all have dear relatives." ”
Cao Shuli's words not only made Lian Ruohan's tense heart fall into place, but also made her nose sour, extremely moved, not only because Cao Shuli's words aroused her sigh of floating experience, but also made her miss Cao Shuli's sincerity. If it is said that she and Cao Shuli have gone from being unfamiliar to knowing each other before, although they are called sisters, there is still a trace of estrangement, from this moment on, she was melted by Cao Shuli's words, and she really regarded Cao Shuli as a sister.
At least there are dearest relatives in the world...... Lian Ruohan took a deep breath, she didn't want her tears to flow, she had always prided herself on being strong, she felt that she could live well and comfortably alone, and she didn't want to meet Xia Xiang after meeting Cao Shuli, Cao Shujun, Mantuo, Xiao Wu, Xiao Jia and others, and suddenly felt that life was no longer a monotonous and boring business, but full of strong family and friendship.
In all fairness, she is grateful to Xia Xiang for opening another door to life for her, making her life full of warmth and colorful.
"Lady, if you don't marry at this time, when will you stay?" Xia Xiang struck while the iron was hot and attacked again.
Lian Ruohan almost blurted out that Xia Xiang, but fortunately, as soon as the autumn wind blew, she regained a little consciousness, she hugged Cao Shuli's shoulder hard, and said, "Thank you, Sister Cao, you are all my dearest relatives in the world." You say, when will I marry Xia Xianzun? ”
The problem returned to Cao Shuli, but Cao Shuli was as indifferent as the wind, quietly brushed her hair, and smiled slightly: "Xia Langjun, as a true county magistrate, is busy with official business, and has the emperor's southern tour, so he definitely can't take care of marriage recently." In my opinion, after the emperor's southern tour, Xia Langjun and Lian Niangzi can hold a big wedding. ”
"I agree." Xia Xiang raised his right hand high, looking expectant, "Lian Niangzi, the emperor only has more than a month to go on his southern tour, you shouldn't go down again, and it will be too late to hold a big wedding." ”
Lian Ruohan opened his mouth, and stopped talking, Cao Shujun sighed when he saw this, and said: "Lian Niangzi, if you don't marry again, my sister and Mantuo Niangzi will take the lead." You are not an indecisive person, you have such a rare affection and affection, why don't you strike first? Although I also love Lian Niangzi, I also hope that you and Xia Xianzun can sing with your wife. ”
Mantuo was unusual, he actually took a step forward and hugged Xia Xiang's arm, and leaned his head under Xia Xiang's shoulder: "If even the lady doesn't marry, I will marry Xia Xianzun, anyway, I am also alone, I don't have to obey my parents' orders, just weigh my heart." ”
If it was only Cao Shuli alone, even Ruohan didn't feel a sense of crisis, and the addition of Mantuo made her suddenly nervous, in her opinion, once the cold and frosty Mantuo was emotional, he would definitely be desperate.
Lian Ruohan took a step back at the moment, bowed to Xia Xiangfu, and said: "I made a thousand wishes in front of the pillow, and I want to rest and wait for the green mountains to rot." The scale floats on the water surface, waiting for the Yellow River to dry up completely. The day is now, Beidou returns to the south, and the rest is not resting, and the third watch will see the sun! ”
Mantuo put down Xia Xiang's arm and took a step back, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to indifference.
Cao Shujun looked melancholy and sighed: "The car is far away, and the horse is longing." Jun travels to the east and east of Shandong, and Ande flies to chase the west wind. May I be like the stars and the moon, and the night will be bright and clean. ”
Cao Shuli's eyes flashed with tears, and she whispered: "Evil, I want to know you and live a long life." The mountains are edgeless, the rivers are exhausted, the winter thunder is bursting, the summer rain and snow, the heaven and the earth are combined, and they dare to fight with the king. ”
Xia Xiang was even more tender in his heart, and he solemnly returned a salute to Lian Ruohan, which was equivalent to him and Lian Ruohan having truly established a lifelong event. Even Ruohan Fangcai's poems and Cao Shuli's poems are all life and death, how can he be, there are such two ladies who are like flowers and jade who are willing to never abandon each other?
Xia Xiang saluted Cao Shuli again, and said generously: "Xia is not talented, and the two ladies have to promise each other for life." In the future, we will never give up, grow old together, if there is a violation, the sky will thunder! ”
As soon as the words fell, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance, like thunder. Cao Shujun was stunned for a long time, and suddenly stroked his palms and laughed: "Xia Langjun, could it really come true, God wants to use thunder to slash you?" ”
"Hack your head!" Before Xia Xiang could speak, Mantuo glared at Cao Shujun, jumped up, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye, "Something must have happened, I'll come when I go." ”
When a few people were seated at the table, and the meal had not yet begun, Manta went and returned.
Xia Xiang naturally sat on the main seat, Lian Ruohan was on his right, Cao Shuli was on the left, and then Cao Shujun and Xiao Jia sat in turn, and there were no outsiders. After Mantuo came in, she sat down, she glanced at Xia Xiang lightly, and said in a low voice: "Another fire thunder exploded, injuring two people." ”
Xia Xiang nodded and said lightly: "Let them toss it first, there will always be a time to stop." ”
Mantuo said again: "The two injured people are the officials of the government, in addition to Cheng Daotong helping to clean up the aftermath, there is also Xu Heguang. ”
Cao Shujun sneered: "Xia Xianzun, you don't know if it's the county of Zhending County or the county of Zhending Mansion, it's really strange, you do things for the government every day, so you are simply seconded to the government office." ”
"Eat, eat." Xia Xiang didn't answer Cao Shujun's words, and greeted everyone with a smile, "It's rare to get together, today is another day for me and Lian Niangzi, come, serve wine." ”
"I wish Xia County Zun and Lian Niangzi to grow old together for a long time." Xiao Jia raised her glass to congratulate, "I also wish Xia Xianzun and Cao Niangzi to tie the knot as soon as possible and have more precious children." On behalf of my mentor, Mr. Li, I would like to pay tribute to Xia County, Lian Niangzi, and Cao Niangzi. ”
As soon as Xiao Jia finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and tears flashing in his eyes. Since she met Xia Xiang more than three years ago, Xia Lang has been engraved in her heart since then, becoming a man she admires and admires, and even thought that he was a husband she could entrust for life. didn't want Xia Xiang to have no love for her, and her husband repeatedly warned her that she and he could only be brother and sister. Now that Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan and Cao Shuli have achieved their cultivation results and are about to get married, she is both happy for Xia Xiang and sad for herself, which is really a mixture of joy and sorrow.
Life is full of joys and sorrows, full of love and hatred, although Xiao Jia is sad, but she thinks that although she can't be with Xia Xiang, she is still a brother and sister with Xia Xiang, and a sister with Lian Ruohan and Cao Shuli, she should be content. What's more, she has to work with Lian Ruohan to create a good scene in every town in Daxia, and the matter of children's love can be put aside for the time being.
I hope that the world will be prosperous, and I will live up to my years and love, Xiao Jia secretly said to himself that in this life, it is enough to prove his business talents, to lay more roads for the good times, and to do what he can for the people.
Xia Xiang saw Xiao Jia's sad and joyful expression, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, solemnly filled the glass, and raised it high: "Mrs. Xiao, I salute you." You and I have known each other for three years, like brothers and sisters, when I was in Zhongshan Village, Mr. and I thanks to your care, you are Mr. and my lucky star, from now on, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead, I will walk with you all the way, never leave the left! ”
"Me too." Even Ruohan admired Xiao Jia's talent very much, admired Xiao Jia's personality, and raised his glass in his hand, "Xiao Niangzi, we are in the same boat through thick and thin." ”
"Me too." Cao Shuli also raised her wine glass, she never drinks, and today she made an exception, "I am willing to be in the same boat with Mrs. Xiao, through thick and thin." ”
Mantuo turned around and took a jar of wine, patted the wine seal, and raised the jar: "To Xiao Niangzi!" As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately craned her neck and drank a jar of wine in one go.
Everyone was stunned, they had never seen Manta drink before, she had always been indifferent, but today she was so bold that everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know why.
But he didn't care about everyone's surprise, and waved his right hand: "Bring the wine again." ”
Then a few more jars of wine were served.
Mantuo still opened a jar of wine, grabbed it in his hand with one hand, and stood up: "Xia Xianzun, Mantuo's life experience is scattered, like duckweed, fortunately Xia Xianzun took it in, so that Mantuo has a place to live." Mantuo has nothing to repay, he is only willing to follow Xia County, protect Xia County, and serve the dogs and horses for Xia County. As long as Xia Xianzun does not dislike Mantuo, Mantuo will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not hesitate to do anything. ”
"Don't drink any more, Lady Manda, be careful if you're drunk." Xia Xiang got up and wanted to persuade him, but he was a step too late, and Mantuo drank another jar of wine in one go.
Xia Xiang saw that Mantuo's cheeks were red, his eyes were misty, and he knew that she was not strong enough to drink, so he hurriedly said: "I naturally know your intentions, so you don't have to drink wine." I also treat you as a relative, and I will treat you well as long as you are willing to follow. ”
In fact, deep in her heart, Xia Xiang has a lot of feelings for Mantuo, don't look at Mantuo often shows indifference, in fact, she is as careful as a hair, and she does not hesitate to protect him with her life, she is a strange woman with deep affection and righteousness. If Lian Ruohan and Cao Shuli are his closest relatives, and Xiao Jia is like a family, then Mantuo is like a confidant who cares for each other, can share weal and woe, and can go to the end of the world together.
Mantuo raised a jar of wine again and held it high: "Xia Xianzun, I follow you around, not because of your talent and knowledge, nor because you are handsome and graceful, but because you have a heart for the country and the people, think about the people in everything, and are a good official." His father was killed by a traitor and died early, and he had many wishes that could not be fulfilled, hoping that Xia Xianzun could carry forward his father's will. ”
"What is Ling Zun's will?" Xia Xiang and Lin Xianfang had never met, and they had never heard of his name before, but after meeting Mantuo, they learned his name and person, and admired Lin Xianfang's uprightness and honesty.
"Expelle the traitor Hou Pingpan, kill His Royal Highness the rebel Xingwang, may the emperor be sage, the people will be healthy, and the wind and moon will be restored." Thinking of his father's unwillingness and death in his life, Mantuo's heart was unsettled, and his eyes were wet, "When my father was leaving, he said to me that if I can meet a good official who really serves the country and the people, let me swear to follow him, it can be regarded as a soul in heaven to comfort him." ”
Xia Xiang was suddenly angry, and also picked up a jar of wine: "To Lin Gong!" I will live up to the will of Lin Gong, work hard, serve as an official for one term, and benefit one party. For the life of the official, for the benefit of the common people! ”
Everyone got up, raised their glasses and said, "To Lin Gong!" ”
Drink it all!
Cao Shujun drank in a hurry, choked, coughed for a long time, patted his chest, and asked with a smile: "Lady Mantuo, in Ling Zun's last wish, did you find a good family to marry?" ”
Mantuo's cheeks were crimson, and she didn't know whether it was wine red or blushing, she glared at Cao Shujun: "I want you to take care of it!" Stay away from me. ”
Cao Shujun took a step forward with the courage of wine, and hugged his fists and saluted: "If the lady of Mantuo does not dislike it, she will complete the part of the good family in Lingzun's last wish, and follow you behind you for the rest of your life, when you are your shadow." ”
"Fight or death?" Manta was furious, raised his hand and grabbed another jar of wine, "If you want to marry me, well, either defeat me or drink me, you choose one." ”
"I ......" Cao Shujun's martial arts are mediocre, and the amount of alcohol is average, he retreats from three points and seven points, turns around and leaves, "Forget it, a gentleman doesn't use his mouth, a good man doesn't fight with a woman, only a villain is also difficult to raise a woman, I actually prefer Xiao Niangzi, beautiful, intelligent, generous and cheerful, Xiao Niangzi, I'm here......"
Xiao Jia got up and flashed to the side, smiling slightly: "You are only qualified to like me if you meet the challenge of the lady of Mantuo." Otherwise, I will look down on you. ”
If it was just one side of the general, but now it is the two sides of the general, Cao Shujun was in a dilemma, so he had to turn to Xia Xiang for help: "Xia Langjun, Xia Xianzun, Brother Xia, what do you say I should do?" ”
Xia Xiang smiled indifferently: "Men should do something and not do something, and pursuing women is no different from studying and seeking officials." When the two strong meet, the brave wins......"
"Fight." Cao Shujun didn't wait for Xia Xiang to finish speaking, picked up a jar of wine, raised his head and drank it, "As a man, how can you be afraid of a woman?" It's too unmasculine. Come, come to another altar, Mantuo lady, do you dare to indulge in a drunk with me? Asking for immortals, talking and laughing, it is better than getting drunk in life. Hey, why am I so dizzy? No, how come there are two Xia Langjun? Xia Langjun, you lie to me, what two strong meet the brave wins, I am the weak......"
Before he finished speaking, Cao Shujun fell under the table with a crooked body, drunk and unconscious.
Xia Xiang shook his head profoundly: "Before I finished speaking, you rushed to drink-the two strong meet, and the brave wins." When the brave meet, the wise wins. When the wise meet, the benevolent wins...... Who can blame you for not listening to me? ”
Cao Shujun was helped down, he was so drunk that he couldn't even walk steadily, and was finally carried back by two people.
A few more glasses of wine were drunk, and when they saw that it was getting late, they dispersed. Xia Xiang returned to the room, and just after a few sips of Liu'er's tea, he heard someone knocking on the door.
