Outside the government office, in the pavilion, He Junwei and Zhang Yaner chatted and laughed, talking about everything, and they were very close to each other.
Seeing Bai Yutian leaving the government office, He Junwei seemed to have met a close friend. He quickly got up and ran over to greet him. He said happily: "Bai Yutian, I heard Miss Yanyan said that your martial arts is very good, but is it true?"
Bai Yutian saw that He Junwei was in an excited mood, like a warrior, as if there was a fierce battle waiting for him, and he needed the help of experts to win or lose, so that he could make a profit. He smiled and replied: "Uncle He, you are a great magistrate of the state." My young master, he likes to write and write, why do you care about a martial artist wielding a sword and a gun?"
Zhang Yan'er came over and said cheerfully: "He wants to ask you to go to Lanke Mountain to help him fight, come and talk to her and act as a matchmaker, so that the beauty can return and end his longing for her."
Bai Yutian walked towards the foot of the majestic peak and said as he walked: "Young Master He, when did Lanke Mountain become a place for romance and love, which is famous for its chess skills, and it also uses martial arts as a matchmaker? It's really weird. .”
He Junwei blushed and replied shyly: "That Lanke Mountain is also a mountain, famous for its chess skills, but the girls at the foot of the mountain are also girls. If there is no romance, why can't they all become fairy aunts? .”
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "Young Master He, even if you talk about love, you are still vomiting lotus flowers and jade dew, playing the pipa and enjoying yourself. There is no need to dance with swords and sticks, gear up, and show off your martial prowess."
He Junwei took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Xin'er's father was very unhappy when he saw that I am a weak scholar who only has four books and five classics besides poems and songs. He said that besides his martial arts skills, he is also good at chess. He asked me to choose one of them to win. I want to marry him and then talk about marrying his daughter. I can’t carry a cauldron or a mountain, and I don’t know how to arrange troops in chess. Isn’t this making things difficult for me?”
Bai Yutian said: "Young Master He, he is politely refusing. You should follow nature and retreat when faced with difficulties. You cannot go against nature."
He Junwei said: "Why don't I know? If you don't know what cannot be done, you are a fool; if you know it cannot be done, but do not do it, you are a wise man; if you know it cannot be done, but do it, you are a saint. But for Xin'er, I am willing to imitate the saint, Even if you know you can’t do something, you should do it.”
Bai Yutian asked: "Why is it for Xin'er?"
He Junwei replied: "Xin'er has been waiting for me, and she hasn't found anyone else for three or two years."
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "It is said that under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. Mr. He, you can pay a lot of money to hire someone to go."
He Junwei smiled bitterly and said in a muffled voice: "I didn't expect that it's just that it's hard to find an expert, and it's hard to find a god. Over the past two or three years, I have invited countless masters to compete in Lanke Mountain, but for some reason, those people can't do anything with just one or two moves. I was defeated. In addition to giving them money, I gradually became disappointed and became more and more discouraged every time. Watching these good times fly by like a fleeting moment, two or three years in an instant. I watched dryly as I grew older. I was really anxious. .”
Seeing He Junwei's infatuated face, Zhang Yaner felt that he was worth helping, so she helped her: "Brother Bai, I heard from Brother He that Sister Xiner is a first-class good person. Not only is she beautiful and good at Qin'er, but she is also gentle and generous. Be considerate. How about you help Big Brother He and meet that bad guy Ke Sanyou? If the elders are too picky and miss Sister Xin'er's life-long event, it will be really heartbreaking."
Bai Yutian smiled slightly and said: "Young Master He, you are not short of money, so you can run away with Miss Xiner. When the raw rice becomes cooked rice, it will be enough to bring your son and get married. No matter how picky her father is, I don’t dare to risk my daughter’s life’s happiness.”
He Junwei heard this, became angry, and shouted angrily: "Bai Yutian, what are you talking about? Am I capable of doing this? I, He Junwei, am not, but I also grew up familiar with the words of saints. I like Xin'er, You have to like everything about Xin'er. How could she let her give birth to a child out of wedlock and damage her reputation just because of her father's pickiness. Besides, my father also hopes that I can obtain fame and serve the court in the future. As the son of a man, how can I not Just for the sake of your own infatuation, you should disregard everything! That is not what a man would do."
Bai Yutian smiled happily and said: "Young Master He, I didn't expect you to still have a manly heart."
He Junwei's chest puffed up and he said very proudly: "That's natural. I, He Junwei, have lived for more than 20 years. I am full of poems and books, and have great ambitions. I have never done any bad things, and sometimes I help others as much as I can. How could I not Be a real man!"
Bai Yutian stopped and said happily: "Young Master He, just for the sake of being a man, I decided to help you give it a try. But you have to tell me, how is Xin'er's father's martial arts? Is it unpredictable? "
When it came to martial arts, He Junwei became a little unconfident and replied in a low voice: "His father's martial arts seems to be unfathomable. The Zhuangzhi Fist and Lingyun Palm are so powerful that even Mr. Jiang, the head of the Longwei Escort Bureau, was defeated. "
Zhang Yaner was surprised and said, "Uncle Jiang has been there too?"
He Junwei sighed: "I've been there. My mother saw that I was only thinking about having a good relationship with Xin'er, and she loved her son so much that she asked my father to ask Mr. Jiang to act as a matchmaker for me. She went to Lanke Mountain and harmed Jiang. The chief escort lost a lot of face."
Bai Yutian was secretly surprised and asked softly: "Mr. Jiang's martial arts skills are extremely high, how come he lost?"
He Junwei replied: "I don't know either. But when I came to Keshan, Mr. Jiang persuaded me to give up my ambition, saying that I might not be able to find anyone with martial arts skills who can match Xin'er's father." People."
Zhang Yan'er said: "Brother Bai, this person's martial arts skills are so high. He lives in seclusion on Lanke Mountain. How can he be afraid that no one will know about him? This is very unreasonable."
He Junwei said: "There is nothing unreasonable. They are all native Lankeshan people."
Bai Yutian said: "Since it makes sense, then you prepare the gift list today and rush to Langke Mountain with me early tomorrow morning to settle the marriage, so that each of you will not suffer the torment of lovesickness."
He Junwei asked in a low voice: "Bai Yutian, are you good at martial arts? I heard from Jiang Yufeng that you are here to compete for the position of the chief escort of Longwei Escort Bureau. If it is for my personal matter, let the two chief escort chiefs of Longwei Escort Bureau I’ve lost face and nothing I say will make me feel at ease.”
Zhang Yaner smiled and said: "Young Master He, since Brother Bai dares to go to Haikou, then that's not possible. Just wait until your lover finally gets married."
He Junwei listened to Zhang Yan'er's words and said seriously: "Bai Yutian, if you can help me achieve my good goals, I am willing to become a brother with you and treat you as my brother for the rest of my life."
Zhang Yaner smiled and said: "Brother He, this is not good, you are two or three years older than Brother Bai."
He Junwei smiled and replied: "What's wrong with this? Heroes don't care about their origins, let alone their age."
At this moment, Lord Zhizhou came quickly with a dozen official servants. He Junwei, Bai Yutian and Zhang Yaner stayed aside and said to He Zhizhou who passed by him: "Dad, I will invite Young Master Bai Yutian to go tomorrow." Lan Keshan helped me propose a marriage, please remember to go home early."
"Just discuss this matter with your mother." Magistrate He turned his head and glanced at Bai Yutian, said it quietly, and walked forward.
When Magistrate He walked away with his official duties, He Junwei said to Bai Yutian: "Bai Yutian, don't care. My father thinks that you are too young. Even Mr. Jiang was defeated in the front, so he has no idea about this matter." It’s just a lot of hope.”
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang's martial arts prowess and his righteousness are so great that he was defeated. It is human nature for Master Zhizhou to feel discouraged. But it doesn't matter, as long as you congratulate the eldest master with full confidence."
He Junwei said with pride: "Xin'er is optimistic about me, and I am optimistic about myself, and even more optimistic about this fate. I, He Junwei, will never accept my fate until the last moment. So there is no reason why I should not be optimistic about you."
Zhang Yan'er listened to He Junwei's words, stretched out her thumb, and said encouragingly: "Brother He, good job. A man can accept coercion in anything, but the only thing he can't do is give in to the affection of the person he loves." Replied. He turned to Bai Yutian and asked, "Brother Bai, am I right?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "As long as it makes you feel comfortable, whatever Miss Yan'er says is right."
He Junwei smiled happily and said politely to Bai Yutian and Zhang Yan'er: "You two, it's settled. I'm going to prepare the betrothal gift right now. Please don't send it far away."
Bai Yutian said: "Wait for me at the foot of the mountain tomorrow morning."
He Junwei cupped his hand and said happily: "Thank you, Brother Bai. See you there."
Bai Yutian and Zhang Yan'er walked down the mountain. After walking for about a hundred steps, they saw two blackbirds playing and playing in the bamboo bushes. Zhang Yan'er was delighted when she saw it. She took Bai Yutian's arm and said shyly: "Bai Yutian Brother, can you give me a hug?"
Bai Yutian took a deep breath and said seriously: "He Junwei just said that a gentleman is not casual, and being casual is not a gentleman."
Zhang Yan'er was very disappointed. She curled her lips and said, "I know a gentleman, a gentleman. Can a gentleman be used as food or clothing?"
Bai Yutian smiled bitterly and said: "A gentleman can neither be used as food nor clothing, but a gentleman will not take advantage of others' danger."
Zhang Yan'er said: "Why are you taking advantage of others' danger? Am I in danger? Am I in danger?"
Bai Yutian said: "You are not in danger, I am in danger, what can I do? I want to ask you for help, and I will treat you to a nice meal later."
Zhang Yaner said: "Invite me to dinner, why don't you show some sincerity?"
Bai Yutian smiled and said: "May I ask Miss Zhang Yanyan, what kind of sincerity should I show?"
Zhang Yan'er said: "There are thousands of ways to express sincerity. I won't embarrass you today. You will eat the same food as me and ask for the same amount. Can you do it?"
Bai Yutian brushed Zhang Yaner's hair and said with a smile: "Okay, if Miss Yanyan eats less, I will be hungry; if Miss Yanyan eats more, I will be hungry. I will eat the same amount, and the same amount."
Zhang Yan'er smiled and said, "That's pretty much it. I forgive you." She ran down the mountain with long strides.
Bai Yutian looked at Zhang Yaner's full body, and immediately regretted it. I thought to myself, why am I so stupid? Why can’t I catch the beauty that comes to my door! He shook his head, smiled, and chased away, fearing that Zhang Yan'er would miss a step and fall into someone else's arms. That was not what he wanted to see.
[There is no cloud in the sky and it does not rain. There is no matchmaker on the ground and there is no marriage. It is rare to have a private life. 】
