Chapter 720: Storytelling
Zhou Wei thought for a while, but decided to give Zhang Ru this face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After nodding reluctantly, he took several deep breaths to calm his mood, and then made a gesture to show that he was listening.
Zhang Ru said slowly: "There is a man in the rivers and lakes, when he was twenty-nine years old, he followed the famous master to walk the rivers and lakes, and no one in the rivers and lakes knew the name of his teacher, but almost no one knew his name.
About ten years ago, someone gave his master who was strong in martial arts a business and killed a person on the way.
This person is a native of the capital, who grew up in the palace but is not a relative of the emperor. relied on nothing more than the death of his parents to protect the prince. That pitiful affection made him proudly grow up to the age of fifteen or sixteen in the deep palace.
After some conversation, the master felt that this young man would definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, so he did not kill the killer, but took the apprentice and followed the young man to Datong Border Town.
The master and apprentice are not so much masters and apprentices, but father and son, father and son who are not related by blood.
The master hopes that the apprentice can follow this young man with a very high starting point to soar to the top, and at least be able to make a name for himself without seeking high-ranking officials.
Ten years, he proved his ability with ten years of hard work and blood and sweat.
Ten years, he used ten years of hard work to hold up a piece of the sky for that young man, but he himself was still alone.
During this time, he found the woman he loved, and the young man also reciprocated and gave him advice.
I thought I could live a happy life, but I didn't expect that the woman who was as beautiful as a fairy turned out to be a poisonous woman with a heart like a snake and scorpion.
She approached him just to get some information out of him, so that she could tell the people behind her how to get rid of the teenager he was protecting.
At that time, the boy had already managed his own power through hard work and had his own friends. Ordinary people simply can't get into their circle, because no one dares.
For the sake of his family, the woman named Shen Honglian approached him and betrayed him. In the end, in order to save his lover, he was pierced through the heart by an arrow and died.
After that, he didn't have any intention to approach any woman, except for the things that the young man who had become the Hou Ye confessed, he was obsessed with practicing swords.
It's a happy thing to be infatuated with martial arts, but there are two people who can't be happy.
One who is not happy is his master, because the master finds that he is old, and the apprentice has no queen, and he does not want to see the apprentice as bleak as himself.
The other is the Hou Ye, the Hou Ye always felt that he owed him, but too many things followed, so that the Hou Ye could not find a lover for him.
Time passed little by little, dragging on, and he was getting older and older.
In the year of not being confused, Master has reached the stage of the last years of the wind and candles, and a few days of good life have passed. But Master's only wish is for him to find a woman who wishes and live a good life.
The master, who had also done a lot of things for the Hou Ye, threatened the Hou Ye from the hospital bed that if he refused to find him a daughter-in-law, he would leave.
The marquis happened to have this meaning, so he agreed.
Oh, no, at this time, this Hou Ye has become a prince of the country because of his great achievements.
After that, the grandfather proudly proposed to the emperor that he would choose a wife for his personal guard commander in the way that the emperor chose a concubine.
As soon as these words came out, the government and the opposition were in an uproar.
Grandpa is not afraid.
He did this for two purposes, one was to find a lover for his brother, and the other was because his grandfather had already made great achievements. At this time, if he didn't show some horses and let people attack, he wouldn't have a good life for a few days.
In front of the capital, everyone was beautiful, and the portraits and birthdays of thousands of small families were sent to the grandfather's mansion, and the housekeeper of the grandfather's mansion took dozens of scholars to personally review them. After the turns, there were only fifty people left who could barely pass the level.
Because my grandfather said that my brother should be matched, that is, he should be matched with the best woman in the world.
When the portraits of fifty people were sent to the grandfather, the grandfather chose six.
These six people have some similarities with the woman named Shen Honglian who has died in Xuanfu.
He knew that his brother had not forgotten the woman. If it weren't for himself, his brother would rather be a fool and be deceived for the rest of his life.
Grandpa didn't want to find a replacement for his brother, and no woman wanted to be a substitute. Maybe some people will compromise for the sake of glory and wealth, but that is to harm a woman's life.
With the power of that grandfather, it is okay to bring a lot of fanfare to these women's families to the dowry. In the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the emperor, no one could change his mind.
He didn't do it because he didn't want to.
Well, my story is over, Brother Zhou still insists on his opinion, and he is still willing to give my brother a chance, although he is blunt. ”
After listening to this story, Zhou Wei felt a lot of emotion, he never thought that a prince would say so much to himself.
Zhou Wei muttered: "The young man ten years ago was you, and the Jianghu man ten years ago was Fan Tong. ”
Zhang Ru nodded: "Not bad." ”
In a moment's effort, Zhou Wei thought a lot.
After a while, he took a deep breath: "Although I feel a lot when I hear this story, I still have to refuse for the happiness of my sister." She is not a substitute, and she will not be willing to be a substitute. ”
After saying so much, the other party still refused, and Zhang Ru felt very hurt in his heart.
Perhaps, he is not a very good storyteller, and perhaps, his story does not move the other party.
Barely squeezing out a smile, Zhang Ru stood up and arched his hand to Zhou Wei: "Then, I'll disturb Brother Zhou." If you really don't worry about Sister Ling, you can let Sister Ling go to the Guogong Mansion to live with my family, so that you can take care of it. I said goodbye first, and when it was time to leave, I came to find Brother Zhou. ”
After speaking, Zhang Ru turned around and left, without the slightest drag.
As he walked, he thought to himself: It seems that I am really not a matchmaker!
Walking out of the door, Zhou Wei didn't get up to see him off, and when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, a shadow blocked his way: "Grandpa, what does the person you are talking about?" ”
Zhou Qingzhi's pretty face was crimson, which contrasted with the emerald green clothes on her body, and she looked very cute.
Seeing that things were a little better, Zhang Ru smiled and said, "I don't know how to describe what he looks like, why don't you meet him?" ”
Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Wei was still immersed in Zhang Ru's words and couldn't extricate himself, otherwise he might have to jump like thunder again when he saw this scene.
Zhou Qingzhu hid in the dark and listened to the whole story, and then wanted to see what kind of person Fan Tong was. After all, in every girl's heart, there is a hero. (To be continued.) )
