Chapter 28: Mother and daughter have a heart-to-heart talk and it is easy to understand; father and son have a conversation and are deeply worried about the military situation
Last time, it was mentioned that Guo Fu was happy to give birth to a baby, and everyone expressed their opinions on the name of the newborn baby. In the end, Guo Jing used "Yelühe" to describe the harmonious coexistence of people of all ethnic groups, which won everyone's approval.
Guo Fu is happy to give birth to Lin'er, and Yeluqi is inexplicably excited. What's even more gratifying is that as a new mother, Guo Fu shows rare maternal tenderness and becomes a little more reserved, virtuous and reasonable.
In the past few days, the Guo Mansion was very busy organizing a wedding ceremony for the little baby. Guo Xiang originally wanted to sneak out to look for Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu while the war in Xiangyang was not serious. At this time, her sister gave birth to a child. As her aunt, although she could not help, she could not leave rashly. She had nothing to do. Apart from visiting her little baby every day, she would hide in the study every day and study the strange armor-defying skills left to her by her grandfather.
Huang Yaoshi's Qimen Dunjia art is extensive and profound, and he has studied it all his life, so it is no small matter. When Guo Xiang didn't understand something, he had to ask his mother for advice. Unexpectedly, Huang Rong started to study with her father, but she only learned a few superficial things. After asking her daughter a few questions, she got bored and said:
"Perhaps your grandpa would shake his head when he saw your question. How can your little head hold so many things?"
When Guo Xiang heard this, she smiled like a flower, clapped her hands and said with a smile:
"Okay! Then please allow me to allow Xiang'er to search for grandpa and Master Yideng to find out the mystery in her heart."
Huang Rong smiled and said:
"Your grandpa and Master Yideng are worldly masters. They travel around the world and are wandering. How can you find them? You should stay in Xiangyang City with peace of mind. When your grandpa is in a good mood, he may not come to Xiangyang City to see you. .”
Guo Xiang curled her lips and said:
“Instead of waiting, it’s better to fight for it.”
Huang Rong laughed and cursed:
"Little Hoof's heart is becoming more and more wild and unrestrained. I think it's better to find you an in-law as soon as possible so that I don't have to worry about it."
Guo Xiang's face turned red, she took Huang Rong's hand and said coquettishly:
"Mom doesn't want me anymore, she doesn't love me anymore. I don't want to marry. I want to stay with my mother, serve her, and take care of her all my life."
Huang Rong pulled Guo Xiang's braid caressingly and said:
"Silly boy, men should get married when they are older, and women should get married when they are older. This is an eternal truth. You can't change this truth."
Guo Xiang shook his head stubbornly and remained silent.
Seeing Guo Xiang say this, Huang Rong sighed and said:
"It's a good thing that you are obsessed with martial arts. You must know that martial arts is endless. Since your grandfather's Qimen Dunjia technique was developed by himself, you can also study it yourself. Maybe your grandfather's achievements are still there. Up."
Huang Rong did not mention it clearly, but she knew that Guo Xiang had already preconceived the idea of Yang Guo deeply in her heart. If she did not find a person like Yang Guo, she might really refuse to marry. This little girl can do what she says. At this rebellious age, she still retains the shadow of her youth.
Guo Xiang begged her mother:
"Auntie, I heard from my grandpa that my father memorized the entire "Nine Yin Manual" under Uncle Zhou's coaxing? Is the "Nine Yin Manual" a book for practicing martial arts?"
Huang Rong's expression changed and she said:
"I've known for a long time that you were planning on the Nine Yin Manual. Has the fox's tail been exposed this time?"
Guo Xiang curled her lips and said disdainfully:
"I heard that my grandpa had two apprentices named Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng. Because they practiced the martial arts in the "Nine Yin Manual", they became possessed and became inhumane and unlike ghosts!"
Huang Rong nodded and said:
"The Book of Changes says: A gentleman's conduct is to achieve virtue, and his actions can be seen in the day. Hidden words are words, hidden but not seen, and actions are not completed, so the gentleman has no use. "Nine Yin Zhenjing" uploaded Martial arts are all sinister martial arts. You have so many adventures, so there is no need to read this book."
Guo Xiang said reluctantly:
"The "Book of Changes" says: 'A gentleman learns to gather together, asks questions to debate, is generous to live in, and benevolent to practice. The Book of Changes says: Seeing a dragon in the field is beneficial to seeing a great person. This is the virtue of a gentleman.' Xiang'er thought , reading books depends on how people use them. Some people read books and become nerds, and some people read books and become knowledgeable people."
Huang Rong couldn't help but praise Guo Xiang's words and said:
"Yes, a "Nine Yin Manual" caused Dongxie, Xidu, Nandi, Beibei and Zhongshentong to fight to the death. Your grandpa sacrificed your grandmother's life for this sutra and imprisoned the old naughty boy Zhou Botong. Half a lifetime; Xidu Ouyang Feng tried all his tricks to get this book, and finally practiced martial arts in reverse and became crazy without any hesitation; Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng got this book, and finally the master and disciple turned against each other and died in the desert. Only your father got it This book has turned him into a great hero."
When Guo Xiang heard this, he smiled and said:
"The Book of Changes still says it well. Master, you should be in harmony with the heaven and earth in their virtues, in harmony with the sun and moon in their brightness, in harmony with the order of the four seasons, and in harmony with the ghosts and gods in their good and bad fortunes. The world is in harmony with the heavens first, and the day after tomorrow is the same. When you serve Heaven, Heaven does not disobey it, but does it affect human beings?"
Huang Rong said seriously:
"Since you have this intention, let's go discuss it with your father and see if he agrees to show it to you."
Guo Xiang smiled slightly and thought: Needless to say, as long as you agree to show it, and your father will obey your words, there is no reason not to agree. He hurriedly told the maid beside him:
"Little Bangtou, go and have a look in the hall. When the master comes back, let me know as soon as possible."
The maid named "Little Bangtou" took the order and left. After a while, I saw her running over panting and saying:
"Madam, Miss, the third young master has just returned from Sichuan, and the master is chatting with him in the study."
Huang Rong smiled and said:
"Okay, Polu is back, and it just so happens that your two sisters and brothers are here, so as not to say that we are partial."
After saying that, he took Guo Xiang and walked towards the study.
It turned out that Guo Polu got the news that his elder sister Guo Fu was pregnant with a son, and he became an uncle. He was naturally happy. Taking advantage of the peace in Shu and the Han and Mongolian tribes, he took a leave of absence from the commander and took a few soldiers with him. , traveling day and night, flying back to Xiangyang.
When Guo Polu arrived at Xiangyang City, Guo Jingzheng and Chen Chen, the deputy leader of the Beggar Gang, were patrolling on the city tower. They were shocked to see Guo Polu rushing back alone. Not caring about guarding the city, he gave Chen Chen a few instructions and hurried back. Before Guo Polu had untied his armor, his father pulled him into the study room and asked him carefully.
Guo Jing asked impatiently:
"You are in such a hurry. Does Marshal Meng know you are back?"
"Dad, you don't know something. Now Shu has changed its commander. Marshal Meng has returned to his hometown and has been replaced by General Yu Hui. When the child came back, he had already obtained the consent of Marshal Yu." Guo Polu answered respectfully. .
"How is the war in Xishu?"
"Western Shu has greatly improved after being renovated by Marshal Meng and Marshal Yu. Nowadays, there is a lot of farming and city construction in the Western Shu area. The soldiers are united and share the same hatred of the enemy. The Mongolian army does not dare to invade, and both sides are in peace."
"It's best if everything is safe. What my father is worried about is whether Mongolia is hiding any huge conspiracy when the border is peaceful!"
After Guo Jing finished speaking, he sighed. Guo Polu comforted his father and said:
"After the recovery of Xiangyang City, Kublai Khan ordered the Mongolian troops to withdraw northward, just to consolidate the rear. I heard that the Mongols are now fighting for the throne of Khan and are fighting to the death. They have no time to look south. How can there be any conspiracy."
Guo Jing said:
"This disciple of the Beggar Clan has come south to deliver the message a long time ago. I just heard that this Kublai Khan is the son of my sworn brother, An Da Tuo Lei. He is a benevolent and generous man among the heroes. He is not only good at fighting, but also has great courage." The plan is far-reaching and has won the support of various Mongolian tribes, and is quite similar to the style of his grandfather Genghis Khan."
Guo Polu was silent, and Guo Jing said again:
"Polu, you were born in troubled times. You have lived a life of fighting and killing since you were a child, and you have never had a comfortable life. Now you are young, entrusted with important responsibilities, and running around. It is really difficult for you. The current situation If you're nervous, you just have to do it. Who asked you to be born into our Guo family? The Guo family has been loyal and loyal for generations, and there is no coward. I believe you will not let me down. "
Guo Polu said with enthusiasm:
"How can we survive when the country is in trouble? Polu has been taught by his parents since he was a child. Only by fighting bravely and defending his family and country can he live up to his father's teachings."
Guo Jing nodded approvingly and was about to say a few words of praise when Huang Rong and her daughter walked in outside the door and said:
"Polu is back——"
Guo Polu hurried forward to meet his mother and sister. Huang Rong tidied Guo Polu's armor lovingly, patted the dust on her shoulders and said:
"We haven't seen you for a few months, and you've grown taller again. Come and change your clothes. Wearing this stiff armor makes it difficult to sit or lie down."
Guo Jing couldn't help but apologize, rubbed his hands vigorously, and looked at the three of them innocently. When he saw Guo Polu, he gave him a lecture. Only then did he realize that Guo Polu didn't even have time to change his armor. He waved his hand sheepishly and asked Guo Polu to get down. Guo Polu breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to retreat.
Seeing that her mother wanted to blame her father, Guo Xiang hurriedly came to smooth things over and said:
"My brother has come back from a long way, and my father only cares about him. I asked the servants to prepare some food and wine, and we will take care of him together."
Without waiting for his parents' consent, he hurriedly went down to arrange things and ordered the wine and food to be served. After a while, the wine and food were all set, and Guo Polu also changed his clothes, walked around his eldest sister Guo Fu's room, and then hurried back.
It's exactly this: the army and horses separated the family, and the relatives reunited to enjoy the family life. To know the results, please see the breakdown next time.
