Chapter Ninety-Nine: Some People Are Happy and Some Are Sad
Kong Yanzhu said with confidence, and did not put Shi Youen, the top of the list of eight masters, in his eyes, Gu Jiajie, who watched this scene, felt funny, thinking that if he was not successful in his career, he would not put himself in the eyes of the Kong family.
Gu Jiajie of the Gu Group, although he is one of the eight masters in the rivers and lakes, and he is also famous when he says it, his reputation in the rivers and lakes is still a lot different from his title of businessman. Because in this era, successful entrepreneurs will always be household names, but everyone is not interested in the rivers and lakes that the people are indifferent to or even deeply hate, and even the vast majority of people do not know its existence, but prefer to pay attention to which person has become the richest man, and which person has created a new industry that can bring people to get rich.
In the course of history, the people's thoughts are actually understandable, after all, the people take food as the sky, and no matter how clever you are, you have to bow to wealth.
Zhang Huaiya actually objected to Kong Yanzhu's pursuit and killing order, but he didn't say it immediately. The reason why Zhang Huaiya objected in his heart was because he knew that if Shi Youen really died, Yunyue would definitely be extremely sad. Although Yun Yuegu has no feelings for himself, Zhang Huaiya will not treat Yun Yuegu like this, because he loves this woman who can make peach blossom wine for 20 years.
The room was silent for a while, silent until dawn, and Lao Li, who was sitting on the chair, kept dozing off, and was already sleepy. At this time, Zhang Huaiya said to Kong Yanzhu worriedly, "Girl, as soon as the chase order comes out, the Kong family will show up on the rivers and lakes, and once the identity that has been hidden for many years is exposed, although some people come here, there will definitely be people wearing small shoes behind their backs." ”
Kong Yanzhu smiled and didn't care: "What are you afraid of, the ancestors have gone through so many changes of dynasty, and they are still well inherited, although they have experienced the great injury of Qingwu vitality before the Republic of China, but we are not the only ones who have suffered great injuries." After so many years of recuperation, I think everyone has almost recovered, and the Kong family is not necessarily worse than before. ”
After a pause, Kong Yanzhu continued, "Besides, next year will be the once-in-a-decade martial arts competition, and I think that at that time, not only will the representatives of the same way on the surface participate, but there will definitely be many martial artists hidden in the peaceful and prosperous world will also emerge, and everyone will still fight for glory as before, and the rivers and lakes will regain their prosperity in the past." ”
Kong Yanzhu is true, now that the new country has been established for several decades, the national conditions are getting better and better, the society is becoming more and more stable, and now there is no warlord division and no foreign invasion, and any kind of civilization derived from this land will bloom again and again with the longevity of the peaceful and prosperous era.
Martial arts itself is one of such civilizations, and the rivers and lakes are an indispensable existence for the derivation of this civilization.
Gu Jiajie admired Kong Yanzhu's opinion, and he also thought in his heart that with the advent of Duanmu Shenjiu, many martial arts people hidden in the shadows would come out. The history of martial arts is too long, so long that it can be said that it can be said that it can be traced back to the Yanhuang period, and even back to the legendary Honghuang era.
In the time when I can't remember the years and months, there have been many amazing and glamorous people in the martial arts, they are unparalleled in their respective eras, invincible in the world, leading an era, some of them have the supreme status of the rivers and lakes, and some of them are separated from the king to dominate one side. It is precisely because of this that the rivers and lakes will have thousands of years of prosperity.
If it weren't for the last years of the Qing Dynasty and the years before the Republic of China, a Qing military order swept the world, and today's rivers and lakes would not have fallen to the current level. It is precisely because of that Qing military order that many sects and ancient inheritances chose to live in seclusion in order to protect themselves. They have the ability to destroy a dynasty, but they choose to disappear in obscurity under the suppression of the dynasty, because they know that what they have learned all their lives is not used to kill each other with their compatriots in this land, because they love this land and this nation as much as they love this nation.
Fortunately, New China has a broad mind, although some leaders are still committed to suppressing martial artists, but there are also political figures who advocate the spirit of martial arts, and have been silently supporting the regain of prosperity in the rivers and lakes. It is precisely because of this that Kong Yanzhu will say that many reclusive martial artists will resurface.
It's just that Zhang Huaiya is still a little worried, after Kong Yanzhu finished speaking, he and Gu Jiajie glanced at each other, and the words in their hearts were self-evident.
"Silly girl, do you just want the rivers and lakes to prosper again?" Zhang Huaiya helplessly asked Kong Yanzhu, who was looking forward to the future.
Kong Yanzhu nodded and affirmed: "That's absolutely of course!"
Gu Jiajie and Zhang Huaiya both smiled, they were very pleased, because some people like them hoped that this river and lake could be rejuvenated and let the world rejuvenate martial arts, instead of everyone thinking about money and chasing fame and fortune.
At this moment, Gu Jiajie affirmed Kong Yanzhu, praised the northern girl in his heart, and at the same time put a big match mark on her marriage with Gu Qinghui. Gu Qinghui beside him didn't know that his life's major events had been silently decided by his father.
Zhang Huaiya smiled and pointed at Kong Yanzhu and said, "You, you, what do girls like to do so much?"
Kong Yanzhu raised her eyebrows, her chin rose slightly, and she said: "Because I want to be a woman like Zichuguan Qingzhou, fighting with a sword in the rivers and lakes, dare to love and hate, smooth my chest with a sword, and be willing to be the enemy of the world for what I love, even if the whole clan is destroyed, I will never..."
Who knew that before Kong Yanzhu finished speaking, Gu Jiajie, who was drinking water with a water cup, was choked on a mouthful of water and coughed violently, causing everyone's eyes in the room to focus on him.
"Sorry, choked. Gu Jiajie looked at Kong Yanzhu apologetically, and said softly, "You continue, you continue." ”
Kong Yanzhu pouted and closed her mouth sullenly, Zhang Huaiya asked her curiously, "Zichuguan Qingzhou?
Kong Yanzhu, who pouted, turned her face, and her eyes flashed brightly and replied to Zhang Huaiya: "It was a female swordsman many years ago, with excellent swordsmanship, famous all over the world, and her appearance is even more famous in the world, beautiful and incomprehensible, for the sake of her lover, she would rather be the enemy of the whole world, and never betray the man who loves her, she is my idol, I worship her super, super!"
When the words came out, Kong Yanzhu's face was covered with expressions like a little girl now, when she talked about her idol, but after she finished speaking, she became distressed again and continued: "It's just that I saw her deeds in an ancient book that I got by chance, which dynasty she was born in, family background, and character relationships, I didn't introduce it, I only described what kind of person she was." ”
Then she changed from a distressed look to a state of excitement, and said happily: "But that's enough, I just need to know that there is such a female swordsman, and I want to be like her." ”
Zhang Huaiya seemed too lazy to look at Kong Yanzhu's erratic state, leaning on the pillow's upper body and slowly lying down, turning his head away, and muttering: "You can't become anyone's appearance, you will only become what you should be." ”
"What are you talking about, godfather? I didn't hear you. Kong Yanzhu leaned over and asked,
Zhang Huaiya waved his hand inward, "Okay, okay, you go back with Qinghui, I'm tired, I'll sleep." ”
Kong Yanzhu had just started talking, and when she saw Zhang Huaiya like this, her small mouth immediately pouted again. She was depressed, so she had to follow Gu Qinghui and Lao Li out of the ward together, ready to go back.
Walking on the road, Gu Qinghui looked at Kong Yanzhu on the side, and said in his heart that this person is really interesting, other girls like the hottest stars at the moment, but she likes a woman who has been dead for many years and has a hazy history.
This person who practices martial arts is really weird, Gu Qinghui couldn't help but think, it seems that his father, after practicing martial arts, seems to have changed as a person. When Gu Qinghui first remembered, Gu Jiajie had not yet practiced martial arts, and by the time Gu Jiajie practiced martial arts, Gu Qinghui was already about to go to elementary school. Before and after Gu Jiajie practiced martial arts, for Gu Qinghui, it was like two people.
Before practicing martial arts, Gu Jiajie was very fond of Gu Qinghui, always smiling and gentle when he looked at Gu Qinghui, and never said a word of importance to his son. But after practicing martial arts, Gu Jiajie's attitude towards Gu Qinghui changed, from the previous gentle to extremely harsh attitude.
From the posture of walking to getting along with others, Gu Jiajie has set rules for Gu Qinghui. For example, when walking, you can't look left and right, you can't bend over and hunch, you can only straighten your waist, hold your head high, and every time you take a step, the soles of your feet must leave the ground, and you must not let the soles and the ground make a friction sound.
For another example, when talking to people, if you have questions, you should ask sincerely, when others talk to you, you can't look away absentmindedly, you can't talk to others, even if you have a superior family, you can't show off when you make friends, and you can't look down on any ordinary children.
Also, if you meet a beggar begging for money and food on the road, if you have time or change on your body, you must take out some change to give to the beggar, or buy food nearby to give it away, in short, you can't ignore the beggar, and the indifferent heart is never allowed in the Gu family.
There are countless rules like this in the Gu family, and there are restrictions everywhere in life, not only Gu Qinghui, but even the subordinates of the Gu family, over time, they have been quietly imperceptibly influenced by the rules of the Gu family. Therefore, after many servants of the Gu family go out, everyone will feel that the other party is very educated, and their speech and demeanor are generous and decent, giving people a very warm feeling.
In such an environment, after more than ten years of Gu Qinghui, his father's business is getting better and better, his martial arts are getting higher and higher, and he is becoming more and more strict with him. Fortunately, his mother is still as gentle as before, which makes Gu Qinghui get along with his mother a lot on weekdays, and they all say that his son is his mother's little padded jacket, which is not false at all, and his mother also gave Gu Qinghui his father's love.
Kong Yanzhu's worship of Qingzhou at the beginning of the year, in fact, Gu Qinghui was envious in his heart. He envied that Kong Yanzhu could have idols and worshippers, and he could say it blatantly, but he couldn't say it himself.
Gu Jiajie's education of him has always been instilled in Gu Qinghui's consciousness of the king with a kingly attitude, in this consciousness, Gu Qinghui cannot worship anyone, he can only worship himself, because in this consciousness, he is the best person.
This kind of education is a bit paranoid, but ordinary people can understand what people at Gu Jiajie's level are thinking. In terms of rivers and lakes, he is one of the eight masters, and in terms of shopping malls, his status is not just as simple as the eight masters.
However, Gu Qinghui also has an admirer, Gu Jiajie loves to read, often flips through all kinds of ancient books and documents, reads all kinds of books, and after reading it, he goes to look for wild history to see, and reads all the ancient books that are found in the corners. Gu Qinghui has inherited this advantage of Gu Jiajie very well, and since he was in junior high school, he has also read a lot of books and read a lot of ancient Chinese and ancient poems.
After reading books for so many years, Gu Qinghui gradually fell in love with an ancient man who had been wiped out in history, and that person was Li Bai, a poet who rendered half of the Tang Dynasty.
Gu Qinghui likes Li Bai's wild waves, and the chic freehand in Li Bai's poems is exactly what Gu Qinghui yearns for the most in the depths of his heart.
The three of them took another car at the entrance of the hospital, and the car drove in the direction of Gu Qinghui's house, but the three of them did not speak, they were silent all the way, only the radio on the car was playing music on the radio.
Kong Yanzhu was very happy, because Zhang Huaiya's safety made her happy again, sitting in the car still smiling shallowly, and her mood looked very good.
The car drove for a while, and overnight, Kong Yanzhu, who was in a big mood, relaxed physically and mentally at this time, and fell asleep in the car after a while, Lao Li was also dozing off in front of the co-pilot, only Gu Qinghui stared at the scenery and people flying by outside the car window, absent-minded.
Others want to be like idols, but can I become a person like Li Bai? Gu Qinghui thought about this question, he couldn't figure it out for a while, and suddenly felt so confused, he was a little melancholy.
-------------------------------------
met Gu Qinghui by the river in the middle of the night, and after separation, Wu Hou walked back to the place where he lived alone. In the past few months, he has been like this every day, and when he got to the point that the master said, he took the knife and went to the river alone to wait for the tide, and after practicing the knife, he walked back alone.
He hasn't played with anyone in the past few months, Feng Mo and Li Zhiguang have never seen each other again, Mu Haisen and Wang Youzhi have never seen each other, except for seeing Mai Wenxiang every day, seeing the master once in a while, Wu Hou has seen the most strange passers-by on the street.
He fully felt the taste of loneliness, Master has been very busy recently, he is so busy that he has almost no time to take care of himself, Mai Wenxiang goes to school every day, often goes to play with Gu Qinghui with Zhou Shu, and occasionally goes out on dates with Gu Qinghui alone, and rarely accompanies him.
Eating alone, practicing martial arts alone, walking on the road alone, after Wu Hou practiced the knife at night, sometimes he would stand by the river in a daze, his thoughts would be uncertain, he would think about the days when he was in school before, and he would also think about what he could do in the future. Can you only practice martial arts? What can this do? As the days of sword training became longer and longer, Wu Hou gradually had this idea in his heart.
Sorrow made Wu Hou's smiling face gradually decrease, although when talking to people, he was still the laughing and happy young man, but when he was alone, he was always depressed and sorrowful.
People will have a period of confusion, Wu Hou is confused now, and suddenly dropping out of school hit him hard, and after coming out of the shadows, what followed was confusion and helplessness for the future. His confusion, in a sense, is actually the same as Gu Qinghui's confusion.
But food always has to be eaten, and life always has to be lived. Wu Hou hadn't told his family about dropping out of school, he was afraid that his grandparents and mother wouldn't be able to bear the fact. Although it is said that not going to school, in this era, it is not a big deal like the sky falling, but for the family who have high hopes for Wu Hou, it is still a very sad thing.
Wu Hou, who returned to his residence, tiptoed open the door, carefully went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then lay down on the bed. After lying on the bed, he couldn't help but writhe on the bed like a maggot, confirming that it seemed that there was really no pain in his body, nothing at all.
So soon a car knocked him unconscious, and after waking up, he only felt a little pain at first, and now he is lying on the bed, but he doesn't even have the pain, this phenomenon makes Wu Hou very puzzled, but he doesn't know why.
With this question, Wu Hou fell asleep, in the cold winter night, he didn't even cover a quilt, the window was still open, and the cold wind blew in, but he couldn't wake up from his sleep.
The changes that took place quietly on Wu Hou's body, in fact, the careless Wu Hou himself didn't notice it. With cultivation, the hardness of the physique, and the internal strength and true qi that Wu Hou is growing more and more in, are becoming stronger in direct proportion. Not only that, but thanks to the practice of the exercises passed down by Duanmu Shenjiu, today's martial arts can basically ignore the influence of body temperature on themselves, which is something that most people who practice martial arts can't do.
He who only knows how to practice martial arts, how can he know that his current achievements are already a height that is difficult for others to achieve even if they work hard.
After dawn, Wu Hou woke up at Mai Wenxiang's call, and when he washed up and walked out of the bathroom, Mai Wenxiang had already put the prepared breakfast on the table.
Since Wu Hou dropped out of school and started practicing knives at night, it didn't take long for Mai Wenxiang to learn to cook, and since then Wu Hou has never cooked for Mai Wenxiang, but eats Mai Wenxiang's cooking every day. At first, Mai Wenxiang's cooking didn't taste very good, but fortunately, the girl was ingenious, and after a few days of study, the food she made tasted good, especially the crucian carp soup she loved to drink, and the taste was even better.
Wu Hou was very strange how Mai Wenxiang suddenly became like this, but he didn't ask much, girls cook, and they will be in charge of the kitchen after they get married in the future, which is a matter of course, but it is not natural. But then again, a woman who can cook is a virtuous person in itself.
The two were sitting at the table and eating, when Mai Wenxiang suddenly said, "Wu Hou, our school is about to end for the holidays." "Even if Wu Hou doesn't go to school anymore, when Mai Wenxiang and Wu Hou talk about school, they still talk about our school.
Wu Hou sighed after hearing this, but did not speak. He knew that after the holiday, he would have to go back to his hometown, and at that time, in the face of his family, how should Wu Hou talk about the fact that he was no longer in school. Mai Wenxiang has been helping Wu Hou keep this secret, usually talking to his family on the phone, and never mentioning Wu Hou's dropping out of school, when Wu Hou called home, Mai Wenxiang occasionally helped Wu Houyuan still go to school.
After eating, Mai Wenxiang got up and took the materials and went to school, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Wu Hou to brush the pots and pans. After Mai Wenxiang went out, Wu Hou put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and poured out the leftovers, and carefully brushed the pots and pans.
Then he went back to his room, changed into normal clothes, a pair of jeans, and a down jacket, and planned to go out to find Duanmu Shenjiu. You can't go out in a thin autumn coat, so that others will see you?
