Chapter 213: Each has his own scheming
"Lady?"
Gu Shengchao was unexpectedly surprised to see Wan Ruo here, and hurriedly ran out to greet him.
Wan Ruo was also stunned when he saw him: "How did you kid get here?"
"I also just arrived, and when I saw that they had already prepared a meal and didn't let me eat it, I was wondering which distinguished guest was visiting, and it turned out to be a lady who was coming, please come in." Gu Shengchao stepped aside.
"Hmph, poor mouth." Wan Ruo blamed him, but his face was like a flower, and he strode towards Liu Ximei, who was standing under the eaves.
Seeing Gu Zhenzhen staring at him in a daze, Gu Shengchao stepped forward to hug him: "I really don't miss my father, let my father hug me."
Gu Zhen was really babbling, and he threw himself into Gu Shengchao's arms with a "daddy" in his mouth, kicking his feet dishonestly because of excitement.
"Oh, little sister, be careful of falling." Wu Jun was afraid that Gu Zhen would really have an accident, so he put his hands under him, and let go only after making sure that Gu Shengchao was holding it securely.
Wan Ruo and Liu Ximei entered the house hand in hand, everyone sat around the table, and Dong E and Yu Chiyao served delicious dishes.
Wan Ruo raised the chopsticks but found that it was inappropriate, she sat on the upper seat, Gu Shengchao hugged her daughter Zhenzhen and went to the lower position, even farther away than Wu Jun.
"Our sisters have patronized and talked, but they have snubbed their father-in-law, so sit down on my side." If you get up and give up your seat.
Gu Shengchao waved his hand and said, "I won't go over, it's really clean to accompany here, we eat ours, you two talk about yours, don't interfere with each other."
Wan Ruo was speechless for a moment, sat down angrily and said, "But come and pull it down, we don't have to worry about you."
In the correspondence between her and Liu Ximei, she had long known Zhu Zhenyu, but Lu Jin, who was standing timidly, did not know her.
"Who is this sister?" Wan Ruo thought it was a neighbor who came to help.
Gu Shengchao realized that he focused on his daughter Zhenzhen and snubbed Lu Jin.
"Sister Lu Jin, sit down and eat, you don't have to be polite if you are all from your own family." He saw Lu Jin sitting beside him stiffly, and introduced Wan Ruo: "She is from the boat gang, I volunteered to stay and take care of me after the pirates were exterminated in Yunzhou, and I will send her back when the time is right."
"I'm not going back." Lu Jin said stubbornly in a low voice.
Gu Shengchao had seen her shed tears, and he was afraid that she would cry again, so he immediately said, "Okay, let's eat first, no matter what happens, fill our stomachs first."
Lu Jin was silent, cautiously bowed her head to eat, and looked like a girl who didn't know anything about the world.
As the saying goes, "three women in one play", now except for Gu Shengchao, all the people sitting around the table are women, it is estimated that because of Lu Jin's presence, the dinner table is a little deserted, far from being as lively as in the past.
Wan Ruo seemed to have something to say, glanced at Lu Jin, thought about it or gave up.
The meal was quite embarrassing, and most of the fragrant meal was left, so I put down the dishes and chopsticks and said that I was full.
Dong E and Wei Chiyao were together, Wu Jun and Yu Ji helped clean up together, Lu Jin was nervous and stepped forward to help, but was politely declined by several people.
After everything was cleaned up, Liu Ximei and Zhu Zhenyu quietly discussed accommodation arrangements.
"I just did the math, there are so many people today, and there must be two people in each room." Liu Ximei thought for a moment and said shyly: "If my sister needs to be clean with her child, my father-in-law doesn't know who will accompany me, so I have to wronged my sister tonight."
Zhu Zhenyu immediately understood Liu Ximei's intentions, and said with a generous smile: "Sister is too worried, I see that Lu Jin's girl doesn't like you, let her stay with me tonight, and by the way, I will find out her details."
"Then it's hard sister." Liu Ximei's previous worries were swept away.
In this way, Dong E and Wei Chiyao live in the same room, and Wu Jun and Yu Ji live together.
Liu Ximei went to ask Wan Ruo's opinion, she teased the Zhenzhen in her arms and smiled: "Our father-in-law will be handed over to you tonight, we are tired all the way, and Zhenzhen, this little guy, also needs to rest early." You don't know that having children is more tiring than fighting people outside. Before I had a child, I was thinking about having a baby, and when I had a child, I realized the pain and tiredness involved."
She quipped, "Sister Liu is still old
Light, seize the opportunity to try it, and if you are really pregnant, you can also experience the hardships."
Liu Xi frowned and said, "Thank you sister for your success, I guess my sister I don't have this possibility, and I'm already very content with Yao'er by my side."
Back in the room, Liu Ximei reapplied rouge to the bronze mirror, looking forward to it and a little excited, but she didn't see Gu Sheng coming for a long time, she didn't know that the other party was in the next room at the moment.
Gu Shengchao lifted the exquisite gift box and gently pushed open the door of Wanruo's room, unfortunately woke up Gu Zhenzhen, who was just about to fall asleep, and the little guy woke up and cried when he heard the movement, and his hands and feet were still scratching and kicking dishonestly.
Wan Ruo spent a lot of effort to coax the child to sleep, and now that he has fallen short, he can't help but be annoyed, and his sharp eyes are like knives, so frightened that Gu Shengchao stood behind the door and didn't dare to move.
After another while, under Wan Ruo's obedient coaxing, Gu Zhenzhen lay on the bed and let out an even breath.
"Asleep?" Gu Shengchao asked quietly.
Wan Ruo nodded, still gently patting her hand on the child, lest she wake up again.
Gu Shengchao tiptoed over and sat down.
"This is a gift from Brother Bao Da of the Shiquan Gang in Yunzhou to the lady, saying that you and I didn't give a congratulatory gift when we got married, and I will make up for it this time." Gu Shengchao called the gift box and put it on the small table next to the bed.
Wan Ruo glanced at it and said, "You only gave me a gift, I don't know if Sister Liu has them, don't chill their hearts."
"Yes, I bought pearl jewelry from Yunzhou." He took out a jewelry box from his pocket and held it in front of Wan Ruo's eyes with both hands: "This one was specially selected for you, lady to see if you like it."
"Sister Liu is waiting for you, you go over there, I'm tired tonight." Wan Ruoleng took the jewelry box and did not open it, but coldly issued an eviction order.
Gu Shengchao let out an "oh" and said flatteringly: "I'll go over for a while, but I have some doubts about my recent practice, so I specially came here to ask my lady for advice."
Hearing that it was a kung fu practice, Wan Ruo was interested: "You say."
Gu Shengchao said softly: "I once flew to the sky, this lady knows, it stands to reason that my cultivation is enough, but when I actually fight, I always feel that I owe some heat. A few days ago, I fought with the loyal king of the Wuwang Palace, and I almost reached the point of escaping, but fortunately, my sworn brother Baili Huan took action to save my emergency. I can't figure out what went wrong."
Wan Ruole was happy: "It turns out that this is because of this."
She covered her daughter with a thin quilt and stroked it gently: "Our kung fu practice starts from practicing the Qi realm, and then the foundation building realm, the primordial spirit realm, and the nirvana realm, and has survived the nine deaths and lifetimes of the Tribulation Realm, which is the Mahayana realm and the flying fairy realm. It stands to reason that there is a world of difference between the Nirvana realm and the Mahayana realm, and the people of the Mahayana realm will definitely be able to overcome the Nirvana realm?"
Gu Shengchao thought for a moment and said, "No, there are many people who cross the border to kill people who are higher than their own cultivation, and this is exactly what makes me confused and puzzled. Brother Bailihuan's internal strength is not as good as mine, but he always feels that he is better than me everywhere, and I can't figure it out."
"How is Brother Lu Chuan's martial arts?" Wan Ruo asked.
Gu Shengchao said without thinking: "Unfathomable, I am beyond my reach."
Wan Ruo nodded and said, "Yes, it stands to reason that Brother Lu Chuan's cultivation is not as good as yours, but in addition to his extremely high talent, he is far superior to you and me in terms of his knowledge of kung fu and his ability to adapt to changes on the spot during combat. Therefore, martial arts is not only the level of internal strength and the number of moves, in fact, it should be considered from many aspects, which is the embodiment of a person's comprehensive ability in all aspects, and more importantly, it is necessary to use all these things flexibly when needed, so as to reflect the real level. Isn't it?"
Feeling Wan Ruo's eager gaze, Gu Shengchao seemed to have an understanding: "The lady is right, I just always feel that something is missing, it seems that I still need to practice diligently on weekdays."
"That's right, stupid birds fly first, especially ordinary people like you and me, they need to cultivate more diligently." Wan Ruo estimated that he was tired, so he yawned and lay down beside his daughter and took her in his arms.
Gu Shengchao saw her predicament and got up to leave, Wan Ruo stretched out his foot and hooked him and said, "Wait, you tell me about the extermination of pirates in Yunzhou."
"Do you want to hear it?" Gu Shengchao was a little excited.
"Say, I also have something to do with you in Yunzhou this time." Wan Ruo held his cheek with one hand and elbows on the bed and looked at him.
"Then I'll tell you about it." Gu Shengchao sat on the edge of the bed, put Wan Ruo's jade feet on his lap for her, and told his experience in Yunzhou in detail, including the process of Shui Linglong helping him, and he didn't hide it, and told Wan Ruo everything in 1510.
Gu Shengchao said regretfully: "I also snatched the Dark Moon Hall's Sword of Seeking Phoenix, and was going to give it to the lady as a gift, but people came to the door, and finally returned it to its original owner."
He suddenly thought of something, and said in a panic: "It's not good, the Poison Sect and his party have returned to Erlang Mountain after participating in the Heroes Meeting, you take Wu Jun and the others out, what if the Poison Sect sneaks up on our Four Kings Valley?"
Wan Ruo was relieved: "Don't worry, the head of the family and Brother Leng Jiang have already gone back, so I can come out to find you, they are out of the way."
"As the Demon King of the Valley of the Four Kings, I can't serve the sect, and I'm ashamed." When it came to the Valley of the Four Kings, Gu Shengchao felt a little guilty.
Wan Ruo smiled: "Xianggong is too worried, the head of the family came back this time and specially praised you for coming, saying that although you are not in the valley, but the role you play is unmatched, let me tell you to serve the court with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about trivial affairs in the Valley of the Four Kings."
"I don't understand." Gu Shengchao shook his head.
Wan Ruo said that the head of Qiu Xiao went out this time, mainly to negotiate the freight with the boat gang. Most of the coffins in the Valley of the Four Kings were transported by water, and they needed the assistance of the boat gang, and at the beginning the boat gang was arrogant and faintly planned to increase the freight, but the two sides did not negotiate.
Qiu Xiao contacted many parties, and finally returned to the boat gang to find that they had changed greatly, not only took the initiative to reduce the freight, but also had a very humble and flattering attitude.
After inquiring behind the scenes, Qiu Xiao learned about Gu Shengchao's affairs in Yunzhou, no wonder things could go well.
"No, I didn't reveal the identity of the Demon King of the Valley of the Four Kings to the Boat Gang, how did they find out?" The ancient saint was puzzled.
Wan Ruo kicked him lightly: "You are stupid, Bao Da knows, he must have told the boat gang."
"Makes sense." Gu Shengchao agreed with her reasoning.
Wan Ruo got up and said, "And that Lu Jin, I suspect she has bad intentions."
"No, a little girl, what can she think about." Gu Shengchao didn't believe it.
Wan Ruo snorted coldly: "Aren't you afraid that the boat gang will use beauty tricks to win you over in order to get close to you?"
"Is this necessary?" Gu Shengchao still didn't believe it.
"Believe it or not, stay away from that little girl in the future anyway." If you warn him.
"Definitely, definitely." Gu Shengchao hurriedly said goodbye and left, for fear of making her angry.
Back in Liu Ximei's house, she was like a bride to be married, sitting obediently on the edge of the bed and waiting.
"Xianggong is back, I thought you couldn't stay with my sister." Liu Ximei stepped forward and said softly.
"You see it." Gu Shengchao hugged her.
Liu Ximei leaned on his arms: "I saw that you were delayed, so I went out to look for you, and listened to you and my sister talking and laughing in the house, but I didn't dare to go in to find you, so I had to wait patiently."
Gu Shengchao laughed "haha", hugged her and couldn't help kissing her: "I miss you to death, how can I snub the lady."
Waving his hand to turn off the lights, both of them were in a hurry......
