Chapter 187: Flickering

In the past, Zhou Botong came to the Dali Palace with his senior brother Wang Chongyang. He is a playful and troublesome character, when Wang Chongyang and Duan Zhixing, who is still the emperor of Dali, are learning martial arts, no one accompanies him, and he is very bored, so he wanders around the palace to pass the time.

Coincidentally, Zhou Botong happened to meet Liu Guifei, who was practicing martial arts, and he was interested, and his hands were itchy for a while, so he taught Liu Guifei to point kung fu. However, there are often intimate actions in pointing to acupoints, often skin to skin, and the two come and go, secretly in love, and the beads are secretly knotted.

Liu Guifei is Duan Zhixing's favorite concubine. Zhou Botong has done such a foolish thing, how can he have the face to continue to face Duan Zhixing? is also his childlike nature, he has no responsibility, even if Duan Zhixing promised to marry Liu Guifei to him, he still scratched his head and was distressed, refused to accept it, and had nothing to do, so he left, leaving the mess to Liu Guifei and Duan Zhixing.

Liu Guifei, who was later infatuated with Aunt Ying, gave birth to a child for Zhou Botong. It's a pity that this kid had a bad fate, and Qiu Qianren, who sneaked into the Dali Palace, mistook him for Duan Zhixing's child, and he slapped down and was dying.

It turned out that the second Huashan Sword Debate was coming, and Qiu Qianren designed a frame in order to get rid of an opponent, forcing Duan Zhixing to spend internal strength to extend the child's life, so that Duan Zhixing could not participate in the sword competition. However, Duan Zhixing is a man after all, and he can't accommodate the son born to his beloved woman and others, and he is ruthless and refuses to save him, resulting in the death of the child.

Aunt Ying was greatly stimulated, changed her white hair overnight, and regarded Qiu Qianren as a great enemy in her life, as long as she saw it, even if she was not good, she would fight with Qiu Qianren and end up together.

Qiu Qianren's original intention was to get rid of his opponent, but he didn't expect Duan Zhixing to watch coldly, so that an innocent life was killed. He is a martial arts master with identity and status, and there is no great evil in his life, he only did this great evil thing, and he regretted it in his heart. Later, Qiu Qianren saw the madness of Yinggu avenging her son, and she was even more ashamed in her heart, and she was hit hard and couldn't bear it, so she worshiped under a lamp and took refuge in Buddhism in order to seek liberation and atonement for her sins.

Huang Rong thought of Zhou Botong, couldn't help laughing, and said: "The old urchin and the master of a lamp still have to be entangled, the two can't meet easily, whether it can be resolved or not, it still depends on fate." ”

Guo Jing nodded and said, "If the war is in chaos, let's not make a big deal of it, just eat and drink by ourselves." ”

Huang Rong said: "I mean this too." ”

Guo Jing tilted his head, looked at the two children who were sleeping peacefully, and said with a smile: "In a blink of an eye, Fu'er is going to get married, and in another year or two, I'm afraid we will become grandfathers and grandmothers." ”

Huang Rong leaned on Guo Jing's chest, also looked at the two children, and said with a smile: "Yes, every year flies so quickly, when we come back to our senses, Xiang'er and Poyu will become adults." ”

Guo Jing stretched out his arm, gently stroked Huang Rong's back with his palm, and suddenly remembered Yang Guo, and said, "The two brothers Ru'er and Wen'er don't know when they will be able to get married?" ”

Huang Rong turned her head to look at Guo Jing, and said in her heart: "At such an old age, I have learned to beat around the bush." said: "Ru'er and Wen'er don't need us to worry about it, someone's father, Brother Jing, if you want to talk about it, just say it." ”

Guo Jing smiled innocently and said, "You are still so smart, I think you know everything." ”

Huang Rong smiled: "My stupid brother, who told you to write everything on your face, in your life, you can't learn to play tricks." He moved his body and continued: "Brother Jing, Guo'er has a bold personality and doesn't care about one or two arrows, you don't need to be ashamed." ”

Guo Jing said: "I also know that Guo'er has a good personality and a warm heart, but after such a time, Long Gongzi will not let go of his son to Xiangyang easily." ”

Huang Rong said: "Young Master Long is just anxious and annoyed, he cares too much." If Guo'er insists on coming to Xiangyang, he will not stop him. ”

Guo Jing sighed: "But Guo'er listens too much to Long Gongzi's words, just like a child." If Long Gongzi never lets go, won't he never grow up! ”

Huang Rong looked at Guo Jing with a smile.

Guo Jing was uncomfortable and said, "Rong'er, what's wrong?" Do I have dirt on my face? As he spoke, he reached out and wiped his cheek.

Huang Rong chuckled and said, "Brother Jing, how can I smell a sour smell?" ”

Guo Jing was stunned and muttered, "Sour taste? He sniffed with a frown, frowned, and said, "No?" He sniffed his body again, shook his head and said, "I scrubbed it carefully, but it doesn't smell." ”

Huang Rong said in her heart: "It's really honest! Said directly: "Brother Jing, I heard that you mean to rob Long Gongzi?" You're jealous! ”

Guo Jing let out an "ah", only then did he understand what Huang Rong meant, smiled helplessly, and said: "How come, if you can have today, Long Gongzi has made a lot of contributions, I am too late to be grateful, how can I be jealous with him." After a pause, he said, "However, I do want to keep Guo'er by my side." Rong'er, you have also seen that Guo'er's character, martial arts, and mind are very good, if he can stay in Xiangyang, it will be a great help, and he can fight for more life for the people. But Long Gongzi watched too closely, just like a hen protecting a chick. In this way, I won't make up my own mind. Long Gongzi didn't need to speak, a look was thrown out, and after a while, he directly extinguished the fire, his pride and ambition couldn't be displayed, wouldn't he waste all his kung fu and benevolence? ”

Huang Rong secretly laughed: "If your family doesn't know how to make up their own minds, there is no one in the world who can make up their minds, silly brother." However, the matter cannot be disclosed to Guo Jing. Huang Rong secretly rejoiced that Guo Jing was slow to react to love affairs, and so far, Long and Yang have not been found

has an abnormal relationship, and still regards the two as brothers who love each other.

Huang Rong said: "Brother Jing, you can't choose for your son, how do you know that he is willing to stay in Xiangyang to throw his head and spill his blood?" ”

Guo Jing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't react.

In his heart, everything Yang Guo did was a matter of great benevolence and righteousness. Yang Guo's high character is very rare, and his chivalrous courage is even more dominant among the juniors, and it should be Yang Guo's job to contribute to the people. Guo Jing didn't think that Yang Guo would take other paths at all.

Huang Rong stretched out her finger and knocked on her husband's head.

Guo Jing said blankly: "Guo'er, don't you want to stay in Xiangyang?" ”

Huang Rong said in her heart: "Brother Jing, if you can leave Long Gongzi in Xiangyang, even if you catch up with a big wooden stick every day, you will stay in the future, but now, alas, Long Gongzi will never stay, you can only be delusional." ”

Guo Jing couldn't get Huang Rong's answer for a long time, poured a handful of cold water in his heart, completely came back to his senses, and thought of Yang Guo's unruly character, and let out a long sigh.

Huang Rong said: "Brother Jing, you can't force everything, you can live as you want." ”

Guo Jing said: "This can only be done, but I still want to see my son get married before I can rest assured." ”

Now, Yang Guoxia is famous, and he has already established a career, as long as he becomes a family, he will be more than half of his life. As an elder, it is impossible for Guo Jing not to think so.

Huang Rong said: "This is even stronger, didn't we say it before?" ”

Guo Jing said: "It used to be before, when Guo'er was still young, and now Guo'er is twenty-two years old, acting steadily and responsibly, it's time to find a daughter-in-law." ”

Huang Rong's heart moved, and asked, "Brother Jing, listen to what you mean, you have someone in your heart?" ”

Guo Jing said truthfully: "Where do I know what girl's family, it is General Cheng, General Cheng has a sister-in-law, which is the right age for marriage." He has seen outstanding children and wants to get married. ”

The "General Cheng" in Guo Jing's mouth is named Cheng Fang, and he is a figure with a high official rank in the Xiangyang garrison, only under the pacification of Lu Wenhuan.

Huang Rong thought for a while and said, "Brother Jing, we are from the rivers and lakes, so let's not have anything to do with the people in the officialdom." ”

Guo Jing said: "I have also considered this aspect, but we all know that General Cheng is a hero, and his daughter and Guo'er are also considered to be well-matched, and neither side is wronged." Rong'er, what do you think? Can it be arranged, arranged. I'm a big old man, and I can't rush to meet other girls. ”

Huang Rong smiled: "Brother Jing, you are still really anxious. Look around, where is it? Even if you see the girl, can you make the decision for you? There is a father-in-law, a senior brother, and the worst of all, my father, the master, you uncle have to go to the back row. ”

Marriage is not a child's play.

The Central Plains region has strict etiquette laws, fathers and sons, monarchs and ministers, young and old, orderly, and strict rules.

The division leader is like a father, the eldest brother is like a father, Guo Jing, as Yang Guo's uncle, is ranked after Ouyang Feng and Huang Yaoshi, and he is barely in the same position as Long.

Guo Jing was embarrassed and said: "It's because of this that I can't say anything." In fact, everyone knows that Ouyang Feng and his father-in-law don't care about these children's affairs, and the only one who can manage their children's marriage is Long Gongzi. But the bad thing is that Long Gongzi listens to a word, both the old and the young, as long as he doesn't agree, no matter how it is arranged, it is not appropriate. ”

Huang Rong said in her heart: "The old people don't care about their children's affection, they have already finished secretly rubbing and managing them, how can they manage it." He smiled: "Brother Jing, don't forget, Young Master Long doesn't look at you very well." ”

Guo Jing smiled bitterly, nodded, looked at Huang Rong for help, and asked his wife to find a way.

Huang Rong shook her head and said, "I can't control this matter, that Long Gongzi doesn't want to see anyone, who do you think he has heard?" ”

Guo Jing said: "If you are embarrassed, you will be embarrassed here." Thinking of the dragon's style, he sighed: "Rong'er, after so many years of traveling south and north, I really haven't seen a person like Long Gongzi." ”

Huang Rong let out an "oh" and said with a smile: "Brother Jing, do you have any opinions?" ”

Guo Jing said: "It's not an opinion, but I don't understand it." Rong'er, don't mention the appearance of Long Gongzi, just talk about his personality, the more I look at it, the more I don't understand. ”

Huang Rong was curious and asked, "Why don't you know the law?" ”

Guo Jing thought for a while and said: "Look, Long Gongzi knows what chivalry is and what is righteousness, and he has taught him this way, but in doing things, Long Gongzi almost does not follow these principles, he does his own thing, isn't he chaotic?" ”

Guo Jing is honest and honest, he will do whatever he thinks in his heart, and one intestine leads to the end, and he can't do it with different hearts.

Huang Rong smiled and said: "What's this, Brother Jing, think about my father, does he understand everything, but what is the big truth in doing things?" Don't talk about others, just talk about me, can you know how many things I did behind my back? ”

Guo Jing frowned, shook his head slightly, and said, "Rong'er, it's not the same, it's not like this." ”

Huang Rong said: "What does that feel like? Brother Jing, what do you think? ”

Guo Jing pondered for a long time before he said: "My father-in-law does things as he pleases, and he does whatever he wants, and it has nothing to do with whether he understands the reason or not." Just like Brother Zhou, he likes to play, but he wants to play in his heart, so he plays. And Long Gongzi is different. He didn't want to care about these things in his heart, what

Anyway, it's more like an outsider, but it's mixed in. ”

Huang Rong said: "How is he an outsider, he cares about it, so he naturally wants to follow it." ”

Guo Jing's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said, "Can you do this?" Rong'er, I thought about it again just now, I don't think it's because I listened to Long Gongzi'er, it was before, and now it should be Long Gongzi'er's words. But that's not right. Long Gongzi is a senior brother, an elder of Guo'er, and he is arrogant, how could he listen to Guo'er's words willingly? It's incredible. ”

Huang Rong's brows moved, and she said in her heart: "Isn't this just like you and me, marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog?" Do you really want to drag your family and mouth to go with you in the wind and rain, and take your children to guard the city? However, since Brother Jing thinks so, he feels that the relationship between the two is not ordinary, and if he continues to think about it, he may not have a day to see through it. Right now in the mansion, Qigong and Dunru are both aware of the inside story, if they accidentally leak their mouths, wouldn't they be going to set off a big storm! ”

Guo Jing is honest and honest, his stupidity is not really stupid, it's not that he has a sick brain, it's just slower than others think, and he is a little wise and stupid. But once you put one thing in your heart and ponder it repeatedly, there will always be a day when you will be transparent. At that time, the mind is clear, and you can no longer deceive.

Huang Rong understood Guo Jing and decided to think of a way to mislead Guo Jing, groaned slightly, and said, "What's so incredible about this. Brother Jing, let me ask you, if Yang Kang is still alive, are you willing to do your best to help him and help him, if Yang Kang is on the right path and asks you something, do you listen or not? ”

Guo Jing is simple, and he will admit the truth to the end. He believes that his brother should take care of his brother and should always assume the responsibility of being a brother. Huang Rong said this to Guo Jing to firmly fix the relationship between Long and Yang Guo on brotherhood. Just imagine, Guo Jing can go to the soup for his righteous brother, so why can't Long go against Yang Guo's will and suffer some grievances.

Sure enough, Guo Jing thought of Yang Kang and thought thoughtfully.

Huang Rong continued: "Brother Jing, not everyone in the world is like you, with the world in mind, you can give up your small family for everyone and sacrifice yourself for others. Long Gongzi is an ordinary person, and he must be selfish. We have talked about it before, Long Gongzi brought Guo'er up single-handedly, it can be said that he is a father and a brother, how can he watch Guo'er fight to the death and hurt himself? Guo'er was injured this time and almost broke his tendons, how could he not be in a hurry. Brother Jing, if Guo'er really became crippled because he saved you, what would you think? Is it okay to rejoice only in his heart? ”

Guo Jing said: "It's good to be chivalrous, but if there is really damage, I will feel distressed and uneasy for the rest of my life." ”

Huang Rong said: "Yes, you think so, what should Long Gongzi think?" ”

Guo Jing said "en".

Huang Rong secretly saw Guo Jing pondering, and said in her heart: "The opportunity is rare, and it is good to let Brother Jing completely misunderstand." Then he said: "Brother Jing, Long Gongzi is not as cold as he imagined, although he has a cold personality, he takes care of his own people. Let's just say Wushuang. Wushuang is Li Mochou's apprentice, and he only occupies the same name as Long Gongzi, but in the end, as long as Long Gongzi is free, didn't he teach his kung fu carefully? If this is changed to another sect, will the uncle take care of the apprentices of the rebellious senior sister? Long Gongzi taught Wushuang, also because she was not a bad person. ”

Guo Jing said "en" again and praised: "Young Master Long is clear from wrong. ”

Huang Rong saw Guo Jing jumping into the thoughts he guided, and she was secretly happy in her heart, and then said, "Brother Jing, look. Our master Qigong, my father, Mr. Ouyang and the old naughty boy, they have lived for such a long time, they have never seen any kind of people, they are all human spirits. Long Gongzi is different from Guo'er, Guo'er has a sweet mouth and knows how to please the elders, but Long Gongzi is not smiling, and the etiquette is not bad, but it is really not enthusiastic, even so, why do they like Long Gongzi one by one? It can't be because of a good-looking face, there are more beautiful people in the world, how many people can like it? Long Gongzi must have something special. ”

Guo Jing nodded slowly.

Huang Rong continued: "Don't talk about it, there is no doubt that Long Gongzi is good to Guo'er, even the Wu brothers, the two brothers, can't compare." Brother Jing, they have a good relationship, aren't you happy? Left and right are your family taking advantage, what is there to worry about. ”

Guo Jing sighed: "But sometimes I don't know the severity, I'm afraid I'll bully Long Gongzi." ”

Huang Rong said with a smile: "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer." ”

Guo Jing said: "Well, Rong'er, you're right. ”

Huang Rong said again: "Brother Jing, a few years ago, you were still anxious about Fu'er's marriage, what will happen in the end, Fu'er's good match is not too much, so ah, let's not worry about this marriage, you and I were not arranged by the elders at that time, we are all cutting first and then playing, why meddle in the affairs of the juniors." You just wait honestly, waiting for the day when you will bring your sweetheart to meet your uncle. ”

Guo Jing pushed himself and others, felt that Huang Rong was reasonable, and said with emotion: "Yes, why am I in such a hurry, Rong'er, isn't this a disguised way to force juniors to get married quickly?" I wasn't like that before, I wasn't nosy. ”

Huang Rong smiled: "Silly brother, in the past, you never been a father or an uncle." ”

Guo Jing smiled: "Indeed, it's the first time. ”

Huang Rong yawned and said, "Brother Jing, it's late at night, it's time to sleep, otherwise you won't have energy tomorrow." ”

Guo Jing listened to Huang Rong's persuasion, all the worries in his heart disappeared, he was bright, patted his wife's shoulder, covered her with a quilt, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
