The light of the mountain is pleasing to the birds, and the shadow of the pond is empty of the human heart.
The scenery of the back mountain is indeed more pleasant, and the Zen room is even more quiet and elegant.
The hot water boiling on the stove was already smoking, adding some warmth to the cool early winter and making me feel warm and peaceful.
Yao Guangxiao smiled and led him to sit down, while making tea for him with his own hands.
He also smiled and chatted with him: "Mr. Gu, what kind of son-in-law do you want in the future?"
Gu Chen's heart moved slightly and he replied with a calm smile.
"Of course it's like me, being honest and sincere, devoted to my daughter, and we are just a couple for the rest of our lives. What does the eminent monk think?"
As a man, he doesn't always have other ideas. When he sees beauties and beautiful women on the street, his little heart is ready to flutter.
But thinking that I also have a daughter, my daughter-in-law is also considerate and virtuous to me, so she never breaks the rules.
Yao Guangxiao is a very capable guy, and it would not be a loss if he could give his daughter an eight.
"Really?" Yao Guangxiao smiled, but did not answer whether his dream could come true. Instead, he changed the subject: "Master Gu, what do you think of His Highness King Yan?"
This man is quite thick-skinned. He has never heard of anyone boasting so much?
Still honest and sincere?
If he didn't know how to read faces, he would have believed his lies.
"Hmm..." Gu Chen thought for a while and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Yan is skilled in bow and horse. I heard that he fought several beautiful battles with General Xu Da in Beiping."
"In the future, if King Yan is stationed in Beiping, the grassland will definitely be worry-free."
"His Royal Highness King Yan will be the hero of the Ming Dynasty and the strongest general of the Ming Dynasty."
Yao Guangxiao is optimistic about Zhu Xiaosi and wants to get him to join the gang, right?
"Yes." Yao Guangxiao's tone was suggestive: "The eldest son of King Yan is three years old this year. I heard that he is white, plump and cute, and he is also very dignified."
"I have seen your little highness's horoscope. He is blessed with great blessings, and he is kind and gentle. If he is like this, he will be a good son-in-law."
He looked at Master Gu's daughter, who had the air of a royal concubine.
so……
"What the hell?"
Gu Chen's face turned dark immediately. This damn monk actually wanted to introduce that short-lived and carefree 200-pound fat man to his daughter?
He rolled up his sleeves, stared at him closely and said, "What do you mean? Say it again?"
He would rather his daughter become a nun than marry Zhu Gaochi, a short-lived and lustful man.
Both you and your wife are good-looking, and your daughter will definitely be a beauty when she grows up. She has to be matched with a handsome man, so why don't you match her with a fat man?
"It's boring." Seeing his reaction, Yao Guangxiao immediately changed his mind and said, "I already know what Lord Gu wants. Come, drink tea, drink tea."
He sighed inwardly that this man who had changed his life actually had such a big opinion against King Yan that he even looked down upon his son.
Gu Chen: "..."
It's not that I hate Zhu Xiaosi, but it's obvious that Biao'er is easier to serve than Zhu Xiaosi.
If fate is unavoidable and Zhu Xiaosi still ascends the throne, I will still shout long live the emperor quickly, cheerfully and with all my heart.
And Yao Guangxiao felt that now, it might be a little difficult for him to instigate King Yan to revolt.
If the prince died, it was possible, but the prince's short life seemed to have the potential to break the situation.
He can't harm people himself, otherwise he will suffer backlash.
But it is useless to follow the prince himself, and the prince does not need him at all.
Only by following the vassal king to conquer the country, can he stir up the world and leave his name in the history books, and his name will last forever.
But His Highness, King Yan, now has no disloyal feelings towards the prince.
It’s difficult.
"I won't drink this tea."
Gu Chen looked at Yao Guangxiao now. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that he was not pleasing to the eye, so he put down his tea cup and chose to leave.
"You and I are actually not meant to be together, so it's better not to see each other again in the future."
Yes, he admitted that Zhu Pangpang was a good emperor and it was good to be his minister.
If Zhu Xiaosi ascends the throne, he must also be a staunch princeling.
Can you make him your son-in-law?
Sorry, you'd better ask him to cool down there and die there.
He, who doesn't accept a son-in-law of such a big size, can't bear it.
If this damn monk dares to talk nonsense, then don't blame him for being rude.
Yao Guangxiao looked at his back, his eyes even more secretive.
"not see?"
how can that be possible?
Su Wanying's belly had been pregnant for six months. When Xiao Jiuxian came to check her pulse, she told them that there was a boy in her belly.
The mother is good and the baby is good too.
"It's a pity that the baby won't be born for another three months. Husband, you will leave for Fujian in two months. I'm afraid you won't be able to see the baby born."
Not being able to see the child being born is also a pity for the father.
"Madam, I'm sorry." Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his tone: "I have official duties, so I can't stay with you."
Last time my wife went to jail after giving birth, and this time she couldn't accompany her during the birth.
Come to think of it...
Having said that, it is possible to start in nine months. What if we can catch up?
It's just that the baby was born well at full term, so he didn't say anything.
To avoid being unlucky!
"It's okay. We are here. My sister-in-law and mother will also come."
Su Wanying didn't feel aggrieved, but was a little worried about her husband.
"It's very chaotic over there in Fujian, so you must be careful."
The same goes for His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Can't they find someone who is capable of both civil and military affairs?
To ask her husband, a weak scholar who only knows how to read, to do such a dangerous thing, wouldn't this be throwing chickens into a heap of weasels?
But it was hard to disobey the emperor's order, so she could only complain a few words in her heart.
This year only Yan and his mother-in-law came to Beijing. Gu Hao has to take the county examination next year, so he has to study hard and has no time to come to Beijing.
With the lessons learned from the past, Gu Chen deliberately didn't prepare anything good on New Year's Eve.
Just cabbage, tofu, stewed fish and a few side dishes.
Not even the mutton was served.
Moreover, Gu Chen deliberately had dinner with his family half an hour early.
By the time Lao Zhu came to the door, they had already wiped their mouths clean.
Only Shu Ning, a little girl, got up late because of her nap, and now she was eating the lean meat porridge simmered in a jar.
The porridge simmered in the pot is very fragrant, but you adults can't compete with the little girl for food, right?
Only Zhu Xiongying, who was here for the first time, kept swallowing his saliva while staring at the meat porridge in her arms.
It smells so good. Why didn’t he eat such fragrant porridge when he was in the palace?
Lao Zhu looked at the leftovers in the crowd, then looked up at the sky, a little in disbelief: "It's getting dark so early, and you've already finished your dinner?"
Could it be that he is not allowed to eat, but this doesn’t make sense.
It is a great honor and a great honor for the emperor to come to dinner. Others would think that there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave.
Gu Chen was extremely proud, but his face was full of shame.
"There is a lantern festival in Jinling today. My little girl asked the official to take her to see the lantern festival, so I went there too early. This is really..."
Lao Zhu felt a little more comfortable, it was not because he was deliberately guarding himself.
"What's this?"
The mother-in-law invited her very enthusiastically because she didn't know about it.
"Sit down, hurry up, sit down, there is mutton in the kitchen, and it will be quick to ask someone to make a pot."
"It's just that my son-in-law doesn't like to drink. There's no man at home, so he didn't prepare any wine."
"Xiao Anzi, hurry up and get some wine and come back. You two adults, please go inside quickly. Xiao Taozi, serve tea to the adults."
Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Lao Zhu gave up his last doubt.
He followed her into the main room with a smile and sat in the familiar position.
He went out early this morning and went out of the city to see how the people in the countryside celebrated the New Year. He hurried back and was hungry.
Gu Chen: "..."
Alas, it’s not good for the mother-in-law to be too practical. This year, the meat and vegetables will have to be fed to the bandits again.
Gu Chen looked at his wife who was also helpless at the side: "You are feeling heavy. Go back to the house and rest quickly. There is no need to go out and be busy."
Otherwise, if you are cautious and frightened, your wife will be tired again if you look back.
Su Wanying didn't hesitate and stepped forward to take her daughter back to the house.
"etc."
Zhu Xiongying, who had walked to the main room by himself, suddenly ran out and asked.
"Sister Gu, aren't you going to watch the lantern festival?"
"I want to see it too, grandpa, daddy, let's go to the street to watch the lantern festival with the Gu family sister later, okay?"
This little girl is so beautiful, she looks like a fairy child in the sky.
He wants to play with her!
"Um?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other, and then looked at the cute appearance of the Gu family girl. They understood immediately, and Lao Zhu said with a smile.
"No, we have to go back early today, otherwise your grandma will be worried."
As expected, he is a descendant of the old Zhu family, and he has a natural affinity for good-looking people.
