Guo Kang said so, and everyone was relieved. Everyone hurriedly finished the last bit of food and left the banquet hall.
Lama Wang had official business and left first. Guo Kang and Theodora were in front of the gate, saying goodbye to others. Little Jeanne took the drink given by Guo Kang and came specifically to thank him.
However, Theodora stood by with vigilance. Seeing that little Jeanne was approaching, she picked her up and put her aside. Little Jeanne was too short to deal with her, so she curled her lips in anger.
"Can't I say goodbye to my brother?" she protested.
"Are you saying goodbye? You want to hug me when you come up!" Theodora was not fooled at all.
"Isn't this common etiquette?" Little Jeanne still insisted.
"Here we use our etiquette." Theodora objected.
"Roman etiquette also allows hugging?" little Jeanne retorted.
"I have the final say on Roman etiquette." Theodora did not allow her to defend herself and forcibly drove her aside.
Others also noticed the movement here. Finally, Princess Jeanne came over and took the unwilling little Jeanne away.
"This Frenchman!" Theodora said angrily after the others left: "You are so young, but you have all these things in your mind. You haven't learned well since you were a child!"
"Okay, okay." Guo Kang quickly stopped her: "What does this little girl know? There's no need to argue with her. I guess I was just trying to be brave and saw you refuting her face, so I became anxious. I don't think you need to worry about it. Wait a few days and you'll be fine."
"Why do I think she is serious?" Theodora didn't believe it: "If you don't make it clear to her, she may have to come next time."
"I've asked you, but you still don't want to tell me." She accused Guo Kang: "I think you just want to eat both sides."
"You are just messing around." Guo Kang analyzed: "If I want to find a lover, why do I need to wait for her? It's boring to assume that."
To be fair, Guo Kang looks pretty good, and he is considered a relatively educated person here. In addition, my adoptive father has been dragging me to practice martial arts all year round, so I am in good health. It stands to reason that such a person has no shortage of lovers.
That is to say, he is a homebody and hides 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 cultural center of Greece, it is estimated that there will be many men competing here. .
Theodora hesitated and failed to answer.
According to Guo Kang's knowledge, Theodora probably wanted to confirm the marriage relationship between the two as soon as possible to prevent unnecessary complications.
Guo Kang did not object to this, and he had already asked his adoptive father and adoptive mother. The two people had a laissez-faire attitude towards this: they felt that as long as Guo Kang didn't find someone too outrageous, that would be enough. He can choose any suitable girl by himself. And Theodora was obviously also in this circle, so the two of them didn't bother to care.
Therefore, the family also expressed opposition to Guo Ponu - of course, it didn't matter if she objected, Guo Kang didn't need to listen to her.
Theodora's side should be similar. Tuo Huan told him that his parents found it acceptable. Therefore, this matter was acquiesced.
Therefore, the relationship between the two developed quietly.
Guo Kang has always felt that this is actually enough.
In fact, he is really not in the mood for a relationship. In his opinion, this is not only troublesome, but may also lead to hidden dangers - at least he will be in trouble like Li Xuanying, or at worst he will have an illegitimate child running around like the Cao family. As he said, he is really not interested, otherwise he would not have a lover now.
To put it bluntly, having sex with a woman really doesn't bring any sense of satisfaction, and it's not as exciting as when he made a lightning gun. And if you simply want to be flattered and sought after by others, then you might as well hire a few Greek literati - these guys can boast about the same thing for three days and three nights, and they don't even object to sleeping with noble people...
"Didn't you hear just now? Monk Daoyan said 'Princess' when he spoke, and he made it very clear." He reminded Theodora: "Now that she says she wants to get married, even if she refuses, it won't be my turn. Refuse in public. Because the right to refuse in the first round is in the hands of her parents."
"Even if her parents and brothers don't say it directly, I have to find other reasons, such as the plan has not been completed yet, such as she is too young, etc. If I tell her directly, 'I'm sorry, but I don't think you can compare to us in Rome. "Princess, you are happy. What do the Ming Dynasty and the French think when you look back? Isn't this an insult to others through open diplomacy..."
"If the Ming Dynasty really breaks through and sends a fleet to the Red Sea, you think what to do." Guo Kang spread his hands: "By then, little Jeanne will stop bullying poor girls, and you will become a female villain... …”
"What's so weird..." Theodora muttered, but still didn't refute.
"One of the things I respect most about you is that you have always been very sensible, even making people feel like a philosopher." Guo Kang quickly praised her: "Sages said that love is the pursuit of wisdom and perfection, and wisdom and wisdom There aren’t many people who can relate to it.”
Theodora felt relieved after hearing this.
According to the philosophical tradition here, women, as creatures with incomplete souls, are basically insulated from wisdom. Guo Kang praised her for being smart, which is equivalent to praising her for being like a man - this is the same as the Han Dynasty saying that Rome is "similar to China", which is already the highest level of praise.
Having said this, there is really no need to be angry.
"Hey, I haven't seriously considered it before, but now I see that this girl's ambition is really quite big." She shook her head and said, "It's a pity that there are always fewer capable people than ambitious people. I don't know what their final outcome will be. How much can be done."
"Who knows? But even if it works, it won't happen in the past two years." Guo Kang said: "Before they take action, there are still a lot of things to prepare."
"However, we can just go about our own business. Just leave the arrangements over there to Monk Daoyan. His ability is definitely enough to bear these."
"This old monk is indeed a shrewd man." Theodora nodded: "But he is really ambitious. At such an old age, he still wants to go to France to personally take risks. It is not peaceful there."
"I think he is not an ordinary person. He might also be able to do some kung fu." Guo Kang thought for a while and felt that the magical internal power might also play a role. Then he added: "Besides, we are a very good place for him here." stage.”
"Creating a new dynasty may be secondary. Promoting the unification of the Mediterranean may be the most attractive to him. Comparing it with Siris, you will know what level of achievement this is. Even those who participated in it Every step you take has a high chance of leaving your mark in history.”
"In his hometown, the opportunity disappeared more than a thousand years ago. But here, we still have it. So, as long as we can offer this price, I believe we can ask him to help." Guo Kang judged .
