Cutting power(14)

Gong Changjue sat in the corner of the teahouse wearing a veil, and the storyteller said on the stage,

"If you want to talk about the story of the palace general and his wife, it can be regarded as a beautiful story, the son of the palace family has been fighting to the death on the battlefield for many years, and the battlefield is changing rapidly, once born and once dead, the sword has no eyes, no one knows whether something will happen in the next moment, so few official eunuchs and princes are willing to marry their daughters to the palace family, and it is difficult for the sons and daughters of the palace family to marry a wife, and this palace general has not been married until he is twenty-six years old."

"But—"

"More than 20 years ago, a woman who was the year of Fang and the year of breaking melons stood on the city wall and saw the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty returning triumphantly."

"As a result, on the city wall, the soles of the woman's feet slipped, and suddenly climbed over the low city wall, and fell straight to the bottom, and everyone who was watching the situation at that time closed their eyes and did not dare to look, who knows, the general who returned triumphantly, actually jumped from the horse, and caught the girl from mid-air, at that moment, the girl's clothes were flying, looking at the young and handsome general, a heart was lost, and when it landed, everyone saw that the girl was rescued by the major general, and applauded desperately, and the woman naturally fell in love with the general at first sight."

"This woman is the eldest daughter of the current Imperial Doctor, and after the Imperial Doctor knew his daughter's thoughts, he was actually unwilling to marry his daughter to the palace general. After all, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield......"

Gong Changjue supported his forehead with his hand and listened to the storyteller's words.

In fact, the story is true, and her parents are also in love. After getting married, they were also very affectionate, but the appearance of Aunt Wan suddenly made the relationship between the two a little raw and embarrassing.

Aunt Wan admired her father, so she designed to climb into his father's bed while his father was drunk and conceived a child. His father had no choice but to welcome him into the house.

Since then, there has been a gap in my mother's heart, although she doesn't say anything, but it is difficult to get over.

And now that the Gong family is in danger, and my father has no time to reconcile the relationship between the two.

Gong Changjue sighed, picked up the teacup, the peach blossoms outside the window were blown by the wind and swayed, and a petal floated into Gong Changjue's cup.

Gong Changjue put down the teacup and called Xiao Er, who hurriedly stepped forward to change the tea for Gong Changjue.

The storyteller said,

"This Lord Yushi said, it's not that you can't get married, it's just that the dowry is a little difficult, and you need a basket of snowflakes within three days."

"But it was the summer season, where did the snowflakes come from?"

The crowd sighed,

"It's too embarrassing."

"Where do you find snowflakes in the summer?"

The storyteller shook his head,

"No, no, there's ice in the ice cellar."

Listen to the guest,

"But the snow in the ice cellar was put in, melted and froze, and the snowflakes were destroyed long ago."

"What's more, even if you find it, it's still a problem how to get the snowflakes out."

The storyteller said,

"Naturally, many snowflakes have been destroyed, but there are always some that have not been destroyed. Our palace general, in order to convince his father-in-law, naturally began to look for snowflakes in the ice without hesitation. Naturally, you can find it, but as soon as you touch it with your fingers, it melts immediately. ”

Listen to the guest,

"Then pick it out with the utensils next to it."

The storyteller said,

"Hey, our General Gong thinks the same way, but the snowflakes are so small, what kind of utensils did General Gong use to pick them out?"

Everyone was silent, and the storyteller smiled,

"General Gong used a pair of iron chopsticks to pick out the snowflakes."

"And it was picked one by one, and it took three days, but this is only a small half basket, and our palace general is straight-eyed, and he takes the big basket that women usually use to buy vegetables on the street."

When the people heard this, they laughed,

"I didn't expect the general to look shrewd, plan well on the battlefield, and be so desperate in matters on the side."

The storyteller said,

"The three-day deadline has arrived, but the basket has not yet been filled, and the general is simply anxious."

"Thinking, are you really going to die alone?"

"At this time, our palace general saw it, and only laughed, laughing at his brother Muyu's head, and the imperial doctor didn't say how big a basket he wanted, so why did he have to fill such a big basket."

"In short, I was busy, and finally picked out this basket of snowflakes, wrapped them in ice and sent them to the Imperial History Mansion, and the Imperial History Lord was also shocked for a while when he saw it."

Lord Yushi thought to himself, this straight-minded offspring, actually honestly picked a basket of snowflakes in his own right, and they were all hands-on and never faked to others, originally wanted to let this posterity know the difficulty and retreat, saying that it was just a euphemistic refusal to ask for snowflakes as a dowry, but I didn't expect that this straight-headed offspring really thought that he wanted snowflakes as a dowry, and he really made a basket of snowflakes in the middle of summer. I can't get off the stage now. ”

The crowd laughed,

"It's also a crooked fight, and now Lord Yushi has to agree even if he doesn't agree."

"Straight brains really still have the benefits of straight brains."

"General Gong still has such a stupid side."

The storyteller laughs,

"Lord Yushi didn't want to marry his daughter to General Gong, but after looking at this basket of snowflakes, I also know that General Gong is honest and reliable, the most important thing is that this intention is rare, stay in the ice cellar for three days, and if you are not stupid, you have to be stupid, but this later life is so insistent on picking out a basket of snowflakes."

"Just thinking about it, Lord Yushi actually nodded in agreement, General Gong knew that Lord Yushi agreed, that called a happy, and thought it was really the effect of this dowry, but I didn't know that the old man took a fancy to his temperament and sincerity."

When they heard this, they all laughed.

"General Gong is too funny, he is really a straight brain."

"I've seen General Gong enter the city with a sword and riding a horse with a sword so many times before, I thought General Gong was the kind of person who was decisive and cold as ice. But I didn't expect it to be so cute. ”

"I can't help but laugh at the thought of a big man squatting in the ice cellar, carefully picking up snowflakes one by one with chopsticks."

The palace chief drank all the tea and walked out of the teahouse.

Over the years, Aunt Wan has spent a lot of time as a demon, and the estrangement between her mother and father has become deeper and deeper.

Now that I hear about the past, I feel more and more sorry for my parents.

It turned out that my father had been in the ice cellar for three days and three nights for his mother, and took out snowflakes that everyone thought were impossible to take out as a dowry, and it was so difficult to marry my mother.

Now, an Aunt Wan is separated between her mother and father all her life.

When the palace chief returned to the palace, the maid came to report that her father had called her.

Gong Changjue entered the study and saw his father sitting in front of several cases, looking at the ice box used to cool down in the middle, and seemed to be thoughtful.

The palace chief said,

"Father."

Gong Yun came back to his senses,

"Here we are."

Gong Yundao,

"I have discussed this matter with your uncle, and we decided to quietly send the clan relatives to your hometown in Youzhou first, and strive to make sure that the clan relatives are safe and sound. Then discuss whether to join forces with Guan Tingwei. ”

Gong Changjue knew that everything should not be rushed, nodded and said,

"It's still my father who thinks about it."

Gong Yundao,

"Changjue, you have grown up now, faster and better than you thought for your father, I never thought that my daughter could have such a ability, she can really protect the palace family, and she can also protect herself, if he marries one day, I can rest assured."

The palace chief said,

"Daughters don't marry."

Gong Yundao,

"Nonsense, how can there be a daughter's family who doesn't marry."

The palace chief said,

"Now although the Gong family has won a place among the people, but in the court, it is still crumbling, and what we have to do in the future is only more difficult than we imagined, if I can't see the palace family settle down with my own eyes, I will never marry."

Gong Yundao,

"This is what is supposed to be done for the sake of your father and your uncle, how can you take such a risk."

The palace chief said,

"The father doesn't have to be persuaded, the daughter knows it."

Gong Yun sighed, knowing that this daughter had always been so stubborn that she couldn't pull back eight horses, so she could only put this problem aside for the time being.

Gong Yun turned to say,

"Who does Guan Wuforget want to help to get to the top?"

The palace chief jue held the teacup,

"I heard that although the emperor's eldest grandson, Emperor Yu Xian, was killed, the original crown prince is still alive, and there is a younger son alive in the world."

"As for which one Guan Wuwu wants to support, it's up to us, although the prince is right, he is old, and the youngest son is not so right, but in the end he is the son of the prince and the younger brother of the emperor's eldest grandson, and now both of them are imprisoned."

Gong Yun sighed,

"No matter how you calculate it, it's still better than the one in the Jinluan Hall now."

Gong Changjue's gaze fell on the ice grid in front of him, and some of the broken ice was melting.

"Today, the daughter heard that her father had asked her mother to marry her mother with a basket of snowflakes as a dowry.

Gong Yun looked at the ice in the ice grid,

"Back then, your grandfather wanted me to retreat and refuse me tactfully, but when I thought that I couldn't marry your mother, my heart was like a thorn. So, it took three days and three nights to pick out the snowflakes, and I was probably moved by sincerity that your grandfather was willing to marry your mother to me. ”

Gong Yun's eyes were moved, as if he remembered the past.

The palace chief said,

"Is my father still willing to pick snowflakes for my mother now?"

Gong Yun sighed,

"I'm afraid she doesn't want it anymore."

The palace chief didn't ask any more, got up and pushed the door open, but heard a cry not far away.

Gong Changjue walked over and saw that it was two maids, two of them kneeling on the ground, one crying, the other comforting.

"Why should I be punished for kneeling like this for a day, and it's not what I want to see, how can the eldest lady do this, obviously she is hiding herself and not daring to see people."

Gong Changjue crossed his arms around his chest and looked at the backs of the two lightly.

The other maid comforted,

"Who made you look at something you shouldn't see, what if you cry again and attract the eldest lady, I'm afraid that you will have to bear it."

The crying maid said,

"The eldest lady steals people by herself, what if we see it, it's not us who is wrong, why should we be punished."

Another maid said,

"Don't talk about it, if someone hears it, you just wait to sell it."

The crying maid sobbed.

Gong Changjue took two steps forward and said lightly,

"Who's afraid of hearing it?"

The two maids listened to the voice, only felt familiar, but they couldn't remember it for a while, suddenly, the two girls looked at each other, trembling like chaff, and looked back at the palace chief.

And Gong Changjue stood in the sun, his face cold.

The two maids were like ghosts, and they subconsciously screamed when they saw the palace chief.

Gong Changjue raised his lips and smiled,

"Why, do you think it's scary to see me?"

Gong Changjue slowly walked in front of the two of them, and said indifferently,

"Kneeling in front of my father's study, I want my father to hear it."
