Chapter 319: Jeanne, you Frenchman!
Guo Kang said so, and everyone was relieved. Everyone hurried to finish their last bite of food and left the banquet hall.
The Grand Lama Wang still had official business and left first. Guo Kang and Theodora were in front of the gate, bidding farewell to the others. Little Jeanne took the drink sent by Guo Kang and came to thank him.
However, Theodora stood vigilantly and saw that little Jeanne was approaching, so he picked her up and put her aside. Jeanne Jr. was too short to deal with her at all, so she pouted in anger.
"Can't I say goodbye to my brother?" She protested.
"You're saying goodbye? I want to hug people when I come up! "Theodora was not fooled at all.
"Isn't that common etiquette?" Jeanne Jr. still insisted.
"With us, use our manners." Theodora vetoed.
"Roman etiquette also allows hugging, huh?" Jeanne Jr. retorted.
"Roman etiquette is up to me." Theodora refused to defend her, and forcibly drove her aside.
The others were aware of the commotion. In the end, Princess Jeanne came over and took the unwilling little Jeanne away.
"This Frenchman!" When the others left, Theodora said angrily, "How old are you, and your mind is full of these things. I don't learn well from a young age! ”
"Alright, alright." Guo Kang hurriedly stopped her: "What does this little girl know, don't worry about her." I guess I was reckless for a while, and when I saw that you refuted her face, I was in a hurry. I don't think I care, I'll be fine in a few days. ”
"How do I think she's serious?" Theodora didn't believe it: "If you don't make it clear to her, she will probably have to come next time." ”
"I've asked you, but you still don't want to say." She accused Guo Kang: "I think you just have the intention of eating at both ends." ”
"You're just messing around." Guo Kang analyzed: "If I want to find a lover, do I need to wait for her?" If you have to assume that, it's not interesting. ”
In all fairness, Guo Kang's appearance is not bad, and here, he is already a relatively literate person. In addition, he was dragged by his father-in-law to practice all the year round, and his health is also good. It stands to reason that there is no shortage of lovers for such people.
That is, he is more homely, hiding in churches and monasteries every day to make strange things, otherwise there is a high probability that a large group of local girls will come to compete with Theodora - considering that this is the center of Greek culture, it is estimated that men will also compete.
Theodora hesitated, but could not answer.
As far as Guo Kang knows, Theodora should want to determine the marriage relationship between the two as soon as possible to prevent extraneous complications.
Guo Kang has no objection to this, and he has already asked his father-in-law and mother-in-law. The two of them had a laissez-faire attitude towards this: they felt that as long as Guo Kang didn't find someone too outrageous. The right girl, he can choose whatever he wants. And Theodora is obviously also in this circle, so the two don't bother to care.
Therefore, the family also expressed opposition to Guo Ponu - of course, it doesn't matter if she opposes it, Guo Kang doesn't need to listen to her.
Theodora's side should be similar. Tuohuan told him that his parents found it acceptable. Therefore, this matter was also acquiesced.
Therefore, the relationship between the two developed silently.
Guo Kang has always felt that this is actually enough.
He really wasn't in the mood for anything to fall in love. In his opinion, this is not only troublesome, but also may cause hidden dangers - at least it is like Li Xuanying's ass, and at worst it is like Cao's illegitimate child running around. As he said, he is really not interested, otherwise he would not have a lover now.
To put it bluntly, I really can't bring any satisfaction with a woman, and I don't have as much excitement as when he made a lightning gun. And if you simply want to be flattered and sought after, then it is better to hire a few Greek literati - these guys can blow for three days and three nights, and they are not even averse to sleeping with nobles......
"Didn't you hear that? Monk Daoyan opened his mouth as 'county lord', and what he said was already very clear. He reminded Theodora: "Now she says she wants to marry, and even if she refuses, it will not be my turn to refuse in public." Because the right to refuse in the first round was in the hands of her parents. ”
"Even if her parents and brother didn't say it directly, I had to find other reasons, such as the plan was not ready, such as that she was too young, etc. If you give her a direct message, 'I'm sorry, but I don't think you're as good as our Roman princess', you're happy, what do the Ming Dynasty and the French think? Isn't this tantamount to openly insulting people diplomatically......"
"If the Ming Dynasty really breaks through and sends a fleet to the Red Sea, you can see what to do." Guo Kang spread his hands: "When the time comes, Xiao Jeanna will 'don't bully the girl to be poor', and you will become a female villain......"
"What a strange ......," Theodora muttered, but still did not refute.
"One of the things I respect most about you is that you have always been sensible, even to the point of feeling like a philosopher." Guo Kang hurriedly praised her a few words: "The sage said that love is the pursuit of wisdom and perfection, and there are not many people who can have something to do with wisdom. ”
Theodora listened, and her mood soothed.
According to the philosophical tradition here, the woman, as a creature with an incomplete soul, is essentially insulated from wisdom. Guo Kang's praise of her wisdom is equivalent to praising her for being like a man - this is the same reason as the Han Dynasty saying that Rome is "similar to China", which is already the highest level of praise.
Now that this kind of thing has been said, there is really no need to be angry.
"Hey, I haven't seriously thought about it before, but now that I look at it, this girl's ambition is really not small." She shook her head and said, "It's a pity that there are always fewer capable people than ambitious people." I don't know how much they can do in the end. ”
"Who knows? But even if it can be done, it won't be a matter of the past two years. Guo Kang said: "Before they act, there is still a lot to prepare." ”
"But we'll just go about our business. The arrangement over there can be left to Monk Daoyan. His ability is certainly enough to bear these things. ”
"This old monk is indeed a shrewd man." Theodora nodded: "But he's still really ambitious. At such an age, I still want to go to France to take risks in person. It's not very peaceful over there. ”
"I don't think he's an ordinary person, so maybe he can do some kung fu." Guo Kang thought about it and felt that the magical internal force might also play a role, and then added: "Moreover, we have a good stage for him here. ”
"To create a new dynasty may be secondary. Promoting the unification of the Mediterranean may be the most attractive thing for him. Compare it to Seris to know what level of achievement this is. Even if you participate in one of them, there is a high probability that you will go down in history. ”
In his hometown, opportunities were gone more than a thousand years ago. But in our case, there really is. Therefore, as long as this price can be offered, I believe that he can be asked to go out of the mountain to help. Guo Kang judged.
