It is said that Gu Huai stayed in Hujiazhuang for two days and dragged Hu Yiqiu and his wife and Zhang Tianhao and his wife to travel together. Starting from Hujiazhuang, Yugan, take a boat north along Yushui, enjoying the scenery along the way, and then enter Poyang Lake.
The scenery of Poyang Lake is pleasant and beautiful, with egrets flying after fish, willows blowing in the wind, and boats entering the colorful landscape. The five people asked for a painting boat and traveled from the east bank of Poyang Lake to the west bank, arriving at the foot of Kuanglu Mountain. The boat docked, and the five people got off the boat and stepped onto the soil of the town.
Xiao Ruoyun said: "Gu Gu, if you meet Bai Tianyu and his wife, how should you greet them?"
Yan Luoxia smiled and replied: "Ayun, just call him by his first name."
Gu Huai said: "It's a good idea to get close. The couple should be happy to see the four of you."
Hu Yiqiu was a little puzzled. He had no contact or friendship, so he asked: "It's ancient, how can you say this?"
Gu Huai smiled and replied: "Bai Tianyu has always hated evil, and there is no room for sand in his eyes. Without you, Hu Yiqiu, supporting the big tree downstream of Yushui, the surroundings of Poyang Lake would not be so peaceful. How could he, Bai Tianyu, be here?" It has been hidden here for more than twenty years without being known to anyone.”
Zhang Tianhao smiled and said: "Gu Gu, so Bai Tianyu should really thank Brother Hu for treating us to a cup of good tea."
Hu Yiqiu said with a smile: "Brother Xian, it's up to me to eat and drink. It's better to compete with him in swordsmanship."
Gu Huai said: "Forget about the competition, the sparring is okay. You and I may not even be able to win against that kid Bai Yutian."
Zhang Tianhao smiled and said: "Listen to the old saying, don't compete, just learn from each other."
Yan Luoxia interjected: "We are here to accompany Gu Gu on his sightseeing tours, and we are not here to admire his swordsmanship from Bai Tianyu. What is there to discuss?"
Hu Yiqiu smiled and said: "Luoxia, where the soil and water support the people, they all have their limitations, and the swordsmanship of each sect is no exception. There can be exchanges and exchanges."
Yan Luoxia said: "If anyone comes to compete, wouldn't the strong one be overwhelmed and live for the weak?"
Gu Huai said with a smile: "Luoxia is right. Discussions and exchanges must be voluntary by both parties. There should be no force."
The sun was already in the sky, and the five of them were chatting. They passed by a Liaohua Restaurant and saw a few words that were elegant and refined. They liked it very much and stepped in.
Liaohua Restaurant is neither big nor small, with two floors, which can accommodate about five or six people to eat and drink. Business is booming today.
Seeing that the lobby on the first floor was full, the five people went up to the second floor and found a table and sat down.
The waiter brought tea, and a girl brought the menu and said with a smile: "Sir, what do you want to eat?"
Gu Huai saw that the girl had a beautiful appearance and seemed familiar with her speech and behavior, so he replied: "If you have anything good to eat or drink, bring it all up."
The girl smiled and replied: "Old man, there is a lot of delicious food and drink, but I'm afraid the five of us won't be able to finish it in a while."
Seeing the girl's soft voice and beautiful appearance, Xiao Ruoyun said, "Girl, how about you order some for us?"
The girl smiled and said, "Okay, I wonder what Auntie's request is?"
Xiao Ruoyun smiled and replied: "Eat well and eat well. We can't treat the green mountains and green waters of this place badly."
"Okay! Please wait a moment." The girl smiled and walked away.
Yan Luoxia poured a cup of tea for one person. Seeing the warm and friendly look Gu Huai looked at the girl just now, she asked in a low voice, "Gu Gu, have you seen this child before?"
Gu Huai replied: "The first time I saw her, her eyes were bright and clear, as bright as stars. She looked like a person. I was a little surprised for a moment."
Xiao Ruoyun said: "I don't know who he is, but he is so beautiful and refined."
Gu Huai replied: "Jiang Qingcheng has a daughter named Jiang Yuying. When she was young, she was as good-looking as this girl, and her eyebrows were quite charming."
Hu Yiqiu said: "Gu Gu, are you talking about Jiang Yuying, who was one of the three beauties of martial arts back then?"
Gu Huai took a sip of tea and said, "Have you seen it?"
Hu Yiqiu smiled and replied: "No, I just heard of his name."
The waiter brought the wine and two dishes to the table. Just as he was about to walk away, Gu Huai said: "Second brother, wait a minute."
The waiter replied: "Sir, what can I do?"
Gu Huai said: "Is this shop owner a woman?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, have you been here before?"
Gu Huai smiled and said, "Is that woman's surname Jiang?"
Seeing Gu Huai's friendly face, the waiter couldn't see any malice and replied, "It seems so."
When Gu Huai heard this, he smiled and said, "You go first."
The waiter left, went downstairs, and told the girl who ordered the dishes exactly what Gu Huai had inquired about.
The girl heard about it, entered the kitchen, and said to a charming woman about forty years old: "Mom, a customer came to the store. He asked about you and asked if your surname was Jiang. .”
The woman was a little surprised, then calmed down and said, "Fang'er, take me to meet that person?"
Fang'er's eyes were a little worried and she asked, "Mom, what if the person who comes here is not good?"
The woman smiled slightly and said, "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. Just let nature take its course."
Fang'er heard this and took the woman out of the kitchen and up to the second floor.
Seeing the mother and daughter approaching, Gu Huai stood up happily and said to the woman, "Ying'er, it's really you!"
Jiang Yuying walked over, helped Gu Huai sit down, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Gu, why are you here?"
Gu Huai replied: "That boy Bai Yutian said that you live at the foot of Lushan Mountain and asked me to come and walk around. It's the same as before."
Jiang Yuying smiled brightly and said: "That boy is really ignorant. He has traveled so far and doesn't know how to come back with you."
Gu Huai said: "That wild boy has something to do, so he just came back with me."
Jiang Yuying smiled and said: "Is there anything more important than growing old with you?"
Zhang Tianhao answered: "Some changes occurred in the world. Jiang Daogong of the Longwei Escort Bureau was killed. He was asked to take over as the chief escort of the Longwei Escort Agency."
Jiang Yuying was too lazy to care about the fighting in the rivers and lakes. She sat down next to Gu Huai and asked, "Uncle Gu, are these four...?"
Gu Huai replied: "This is Hu Yiqiu and his wife Yan Luoxia, and that is Zhang Tianhao and his wife Xiao Ruoyun."
Jiang Yuying bowed warmly and said, "I've met four of you."
The two couples returned the courtesy and said, "I've seen Miss Yuying."
Jiang Yuying smiled and said, "I wonder what the four of you want to do when you come here?"
Xiao Ruoyun smiled and replied: "Gu Gu was afraid of being lonely on the journey, so he specially invited me to accompany you. Nothing else."
Jiang Yuying said: "Uncle Gu, my father and Uncle Cui live in Baicaotang under Wulao Peak. If you don't want to wait until after dinner, I will ask Fang'er to take you there."
Gu Huai said with a smile: "The business in the store is so good, is it convenient for my daughter to leave?"
Fang'er smiled and replied: "It's very convenient. I am planning to send some wine and meat to the two grandpas today."
Gu Huai asked: "We took the liberty of coming to visit, so Bai Tianyu won't see anyone outside, right?"
Jiang Yuying smiled and replied: "Uncle Gu, Brother Bai is just a wild crane. It's rare to have a friend come from afar, so what's the inconvenience? I'm just happy."
Xiao Ruoyun smiled and said: "That's good, I'm still worried."
Jiang Yuying said with a smile: "Sister, what is there to worry about? Twenty years old is like a cloud. There is no longer the Central Plains hero Bai Tianyu in the world, only Mr. Yuxiao, the owner of Baiyun Villa."
Hu Yiqiu said with a smile: "Pillow on the blue dragon, lie on the clouds and listen to the pine waves; ride on the white deer, laugh at the peach blossoms in the spring; call the green ape to dismantle the alchemy stove at night. The jade sheng plays to invite the mountain and the moon to be high, the dust and foreign objects arouse the beauty, the leisurely mood is not diminished by the youth. .What a good Mr. Yuxiao.”
Jiang Yuying smiled and said: "Is it possible that Brother Hu also fell in love with the pastoral scenery?"
"The rivers and mountains are beautiful in Chiri, the spring breeze is fragrant with flowers and grass. Swallows are flying in the mud, and mandarin ducks are sleeping in the warm sand." Hu Yiqiu smiled sweetly, held Yan Luoxia's little hand, and continued: "In the past, I was lured by fame and fortune, and I missed too many good times. , you should cherish it even more in the future."
Jiang Yuying asked her daughter Fang'er to bring wine glasses, filled them for the whole table, and gave a toast to each of the five people. She smiled and said: "Uncle Gu, please take it easy, I won't accompany you anymore."
Yan Luoxia smiled and replied: "Sister, although you are busy, as long as I and sister Ruoyun are here, you will definitely have a good time."
Jiang Yuying smiled happily, said goodbye to the five of them, and went downstairs with her daughter.
Seeing the mother and daughter leave, Xiao Ruoyun whispered: "Gu Gu, should I tell the truth about Qin Haoming?"
Hu Yiqiu said: "Qin Haoming is unrepentant and does not deserve the concern of Jiang Yuying and his daughter."
Yan Luoxia slapped Hu Yiqiu's arm and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? No matter how bad Qin Haoming is, he is the husband and father of this mother and daughter. How can he not be worried about her?"
Xiao Ruoyun said: "Yes! Jiang Yuying named the child Qin Fang, hoping that Qin Haoming would wake up one day and return to them."
Gu Huai drank the wine in his glass, thought for a while, and said, "If you don't tell me the truth, wait until you meet Jiang Qingcheng. In Hujiazhuang, Bai Yutian definitely had a chance to win over Qin Haoming, but he did it without even saying a word." Qin Haoming let him go, so he certainly didn't regard Qin Haoming as an unforgivable person."
Yan Luoxia filled the cup of wine for the ancient locust tree and said: "There is a cloud in the Book of Songs. There are fusu in the mountains and lotus flowers in the sky. If you don't see Zidu, you can see Kuangqi. There are pine trees in the mountains, there are dragons swimming in the sky, but Zichong is not there. It’s a cunning boy. The love between a man and a woman can be connected even if it is disconnected. How can it be explained clearly in one or two grumbles and jokes?"
Hu Yiqiu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Gu, dear brother, come here, how can you not have a pleasant first meal here!"
Gu Huai raised his wine glass and said, "Don't tell me, Xiao Hu has become a lot more funny now that he has sealed his sword and retired to seclusion."
Zhang Tianhao said with a smile: "That is, Brother Hu is far away from the world now. In addition to living a clear life, he also wants to live a comfortable life."
The five wine glasses clinked together and the wine was drained. How pleasant it was!
Hu Yiqiu said with a smile: "Brother, if you want to seal your sword and go into seclusion, I will cut anyone who stops you for my brother's sake."
Yan Luoxia filled the wine glasses for the five of them and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang can't go into seclusion for a while. His precious daughter hasn't pursued Bai Yutian yet, so she has to try her best to help."
Gu Huai picked up the wine glass and said: "Xiao Zhang, don't listen to Luoxia. That child Yan'er is very innocent. It will be a matter of time for that wild boy Bai Yutian to accept her. There is no need for your help. Stay with Ruoyun Just live your own little life."
Zhang Tianhao picked up the wine glass, toasted Gu Huai and Hu Yiqiu, and said: "Okay, just listen to Gu, if that guy Bai Yutian doesn't come to ask me for help, there's no way."
Gu Huai drank the wine in the glass, put down the glass, picked up the chopsticks, and said: "Come, eat food. When you are full, you can go and compete with Jiang Chengcheng and the others. Even if you can't win three versus three, you still have to leave some love for yourself." The face is not."
Yan Luoxia smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, you must not be at a disadvantage when fighting Cui Yongyue. The girls all care about Bai Yutian."
Zhang Tianhao drank the drink and said: "Okay, it's a tie, no one will take advantage of the other."
Gu Huai said with a smile: "In secular marriages, there are many winners and losers, but if you are in love with each other, it is a tie. It is better to make a tie."
The waiter brought three more dishes, which looked very good and aroused the appetite of the five people.
The five people quickly put aside their words and played with bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses, enjoying themselves.
