Chapter 18: The Family Feast (II)
After Guo Poyu made a grimace at Huang Rong, he wanted to go back to the table and sit down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info turned around and was stopped by Guo Jing again. Guo Jing took his hand and walked up to Huang Rong and said, "Rong'er, I want to have a discussion with you." Yu'er has long passed the age when he should learn martial arts. If I delay any longer, I am afraid that he will miss his future achievements. Recently, although one or two spies have infiltrated Xiangyang, the main forces of the Mongolian army are all in the southern Xinjiang and the Western Regions. ”
Huang Rongxiu frowned, and replied to Guo Jing: "Brother Jing, this kid was born to me in October, although he often makes me angry, but I don't think about him." Ju'er is naturally slow with his hands and feet, and you and I both know that this is a major obstacle to learning martial arts. After he walked the rivers and lakes after his art, the enemy knew that he was the son of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, how could he be half negligent, if he was not good at learning, wouldn't he lose his life. ”
Seeing that Guo Jing was silent, Guo Poyu hurriedly picked up the conversation for him and said: "As the saying goes: diligence can make up for clumsiness." As long as you work hard, slow hands and feet are nothing. I think that although Qiu Qianren, the leader of the Iron Palm Gang, acted like the wind, he was not the defeated general of my ancestor Hong Qigong's old gang leader Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms. ”
Hearing him say this, Guo Jing nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes!" When did I move quickly? Guo Jing turned his head and reprimanded Guo Poyu: "Poyu, the day before I learned the arts, the fifth master Zhang Asheng was born at the hands of the black wind, and when he was dying, he told me: When you want to be lazy when you learn martial arts, you must think of the appearance of the fifth master at this time." I am forwarding this sentence to you today. You are respected in Xiangyang City today, and everyone looks at your parents' face. When you walk the rivers and lakes every day, whether you can save your life and become famous depends on your hard work when you learn art. ”
Guo Poyu replied casually: "Yes." But he thought disapprovingly: "In the novel, it is said that Guo Jing is silent and not good at talking. But I think he trained people: a long speech, Lori instigated, endless. I don't know how Guo Poyu got mixed up eleven years ago. ”
While the three of them were talking, Zhu Ziliu took Zhu San and suddenly interjected and said: "Hearing that Guo Daxia wants to teach martial arts, Xiao Ke has a reluctant request, Xiao Ke's nephew Zhu San, has always admired Guo Daxia's skills, if Guo Daxia does not give up and is willing to leave him in Xiangyang to learn art, Zhu Ziliu is really virtuous." ”
Huang Rong knew that now Kublai Khan's army was planning to attack Dali. Half of the purpose of Zhu Ziliu's trip was to send his nephew to Xiangyang City to avoid trouble. At that moment, she agreed to come down instead of Guo Jing.
Next, Wang Wei brought his sons Wang Jianmin and Lu Youjiao with his apprentice Jiang Haoran to beg Guo Jing to be accepted as an apprentice, and Guo Jing nodded and agreed.

When Guo Poyu returned to the table and sat down, Guo Xiang beside him poured a glass of wine and handed it to him and said, "Brother Xiang, Sister Xiang toasts you." Congratulations on finally getting your wish to learn your father's astonishing martial arts. ”
When Guo Poyu took the celadon cup full of wine handed over by Guo Xiang, Qiu Xue'er, who was bending down to pour wine for Guo Xiang, interjected and said: "The son can learn martial arts from the master today, and Miss Xiang'er can make a big move." ”
"What's going on?" Guo Poyu asked with a smile: "Is there anything inside?" ”
"Childe is right." Qiu Xue'er turned to Guo Poyu and said: "Five years ago, when Mrs. wanted to officially pass on her art to Miss Xiang'er, she was rejected by Miss Xiang'er. At that time, the young lady said: "Po Yu was born to me in the same child, and my mother insists on not passing on his martial arts, so there is no need to teach me." Childe is really blessed, to have such a righteous twin sister. Half of the reason why Madame was able to agree to the master's request so readily today was because she cherished Miss Xiang'er. ”
After hearing this, Guo Poyu's face turned red, and he hurriedly covered up and said: "Sister Xiang'er's martial arts are not weak, is it all self-taught." ”
"It was taught by Miss Fu, if Miss officially learned martial arts from Mrs. five years ago, I am afraid that the son will not be able to catch up in his life."
Guo Xiang raised her hand to stop Qiu Xue'er from speaking, she stood up and said, "Brother Yu, you and I should encourage each other to learn martial arts in the future, and we must not lose to Sister Fu again like today." ”
Guo Poyu staggered up and said, "Drink ice water on a cold day, and drip it in my heart." The younger brother is not good at words, but Xiang'er and Sister Xue'er are good to me, and the younger brother always remembers it in my heart. Now borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, I drank this cup first. When Guo Poyu drank the wine dry, he thought to himself: "Xiang'er, after five years, I will do my best to prevent you from falling into the pain of lovesickness for Yang Guo, so as to repay you for treating me all the time." ”
Guo Xiang also raised his head and drank the wine dry, and when he saw that Guo Poyu was still standing on the ground in a daze, he immediately raised his jade wrist and slapped him, saying, "One world, two brothers." What are you polite to your sister. ”
Hearing her say this, Guo Poyu hadn't replied, but Qiu Xue'er laughed first: "Miss, it's a world, two sisters and brothers." ”
"Sister Xue'er, you are too pedantic, just say a wrong word." Guo Xiang blushed and complained dissatisfiedly.
Qiu Xue'er replied: "Our young lady's temperament is really extraordinary. No wonder Mrs. Xiang'er often said: When Miss Xiang'er is quiet, she is like a precious jade that can be broken by blowing a bullet, but when she is bold, she is like a female robber who occupies the mountain and is the king............. Ah, Cher was rude. Qiu Xue'er hurriedly covered her mouth.
Guo Xiang looked at her restraint and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of rudeness, I grew up with Sister Xue'er." It is equivalent to Sister Cher's sister. I'm not Sister Guo Fu, how can I be so exquisite. ”
"Yes." Guo Poyu was surrounded by two bold and beautiful girls, and he was almost fluttering, and he suggested at the moment: "Let's drink again, do you want to make a fist, the three of you are not lively enough, Wang Qianxi, you are also here, stick tiger." ”
"Xiang'er, Yu'er, don't mess around." When Huang Rong stopped the two of them in the distance, she thought to herself: Yu'er is impetuous, and it may be hopeless to learn superior martial arts. But Brother Jing's words have already been spoken, how can he not refute his face, but also prevent the captive from worshipping him as a teacher? Huang Rong raised her eyebrows, thought about it, and immediately stood up and said, "Brother Jing, seeing that you have accepted so many disciples, I am so envious." It's better to let two of them be given to me, so that Rong'er can share your hard work. Before Guo Jing could answer, Lu Youjiao had already clapped his hands and smiled: "Great! You two can try to see who can teach the disciples better. Guo Jing has always relied on Huang Rong in everything, and when she heard her say this, he agreed immediately.
Huang Rong said: "Gang Master Lu asked us to compete in the ability of the apprentice, if I pick an apprentice with high qualifications, Brother Jing, you will not accept if you lose, let's speak first, I am only here now, Zhu San, Jianmin, Yu'er, Haoran choose the one with the worst qualifications, and the temperament is weird to teach, Brother Jing, you can't complain if you lose." Lu Youjiao and Zhu Ziliu and others heard the excitement next to them, and they all cheered loudly. Guo Jing Shanshan said: "I have always been inferior to you, you can choose a few apprentices at will." ”
Huang Rong nodded, thinking: I should be like this, and choose Xiang'er and Yu'er without a trace, so as not to let others say that I have favored my own children. Huang Rong glanced at Wu Xiuwen, who was sitting on the side, and ordered him to direct the family to move the seats, and in a short time, a large open space was vacated in a conspicuous place.
After Huang Rong beckoned Jiang Haoran, Wang Jianmin, Zhu San, Guo Poyu and Guo Xiang over, he said: "Your master has promised to divide two apprentices from the five of you to me, I think my Peach Blossom Island art industry is all-inclusive, and your ancestor Huang Yaoshi not only tested the qualifications of martial arts when he accepted apprentices, but also tested the literary knowledge of the apprentices. I have commanded each of you to make a poem, and I will take him as a disciple when he has done well. ”
Jiang Haoran listened and said, "Mrs. Guo, I have never read a poetry book. Can I not participate in the competition? Huang Rong nodded in agreement, and the afterglow swept over Guo Poyu's face, thinking, "Stinky boy, don't you like to go against me." If you quit now, I will immediately take you as a disciple and teach you the way of Confucius and Mencius, the principles of life that these saints have said. ”
Guo Poyu knew that the player who played Huang Rong wanted to fix himself, but he wanted to learn art with Guo Xiang, and seeing that Guo Xiang did not quit, his brain worked hard to turn around again and again, and he reluctantly made up the poems in his heart.
