"That's the way it is. Please help me with this, please, You Chang." In Ma Su's public room in Fu Ying, Yang Qing finished explaining his purpose, stood up and bowed his hands. Ao
Ma Su stood up, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Why do you have to do this Mingzhi? I can't just sit back and watch your marriage, so I accepted this job."
"Thank you very much, You Chang."
Ma Su said: "It's a good idea to get married now before we send troops to the Northern Expedition, so that we won't have so much time when a war breaks out in the future. I understand that I have been looking forward to this wedding wine for you for a long time. I didn't expect it to be available in more than ten days." Once you drink it, you kid can always surprise everyone."
"Haha, I will let you drink to your heart's content on the wedding day." Yang Qing laughed.
The two talked for a while. Yang Qing saw that the matter was over and wanted to return to the city after saying goodbye. But then I thought about it, I also informed Zhuge Liang about this, so I turned around and walked towards Zhuge Liang's palace.
In the public room, Zhuge Liang was looking at the latest list of Cao Wei's officials and generals serving in Yongliang Prefecture sent by Youwei Mansion. Hearing Yang Qing's request to see him, he immediately collected the information and sent him in.
"Qing met the Prime Minister."
Zhuge Liang waved his hand: "No need to be polite, just sit down." After Yang Qing sat down, he asked: "Why are you here tomorrow?"
Yang Qing cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Prime Minister, Qing is not here for official matters, but has a private matter that he wants to report to the Prime Minister."
"Oh, private matter? Let's talk about it." Zhuge Liang said calmly.
Yang Qing replied with some trepidation: "It's not...it's not a big deal, it's just...it's..."
"It's not your boy's style to be hesitant. If you have something to say, talk quickly. I still have official duties to attend to." Zhuge Liang said with a hint of anger.
Yang Qing suddenly became nervous for some reason. He took a deep breath and replied, "Prime Minister, I'm getting married, so I came to report to you. I hope you can attend Qing's wedding." After saying that, he bowed his head.
Zhuge Liang did not reply immediately, but sighed softly and stared at Yang Qing. Seeing that there was no response, Yang Qing raised his head and looked at Zhuge Liang. Ao
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "You are now old enough, and it's time to start a family. I've also heard of Madam Xiahou. She is indeed a virtuous and virtuous woman, and she is a good match for you. That's fine." , if I have time that day, I will definitely go and have a glass of wedding wine."
Seeing that Zhuge Liang agreed, Yang Qing stood up gratefully and thanked him: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for the honor."
"Yes. There is still some time before the Northern Expedition, so hurry up and get married."
Yang Qing said: "Yes, the date is set, it will be the eighth day of the next month."
"So fast!" Zhuge Liang was surprised, then nodded and said, "That's great. It's also a good thing to start a family earlier."
"Yes. Then Qing won't disturb the Prime Minister."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Well, let's go."
After Yang Qing left, Zhuge Liang stood up and went to the back window and looked to a house to the east, which was Zhuge Guo's residence.
Yang Qing had just stepped out of the second door when he suddenly heard someone calling from behind: "Brother, stay here." He turned around and saw that it was Zhuge Qiao.
"It's Bo Song. Are you here to find the Prime Minister?"
Zhuge Qiao shook his head slightly, stepped forward and said, "I'm here specially to wait for my brother."
"Oh? Why is this?" Yang Qingqi asked.
Zhuge Qiao lowered his voice: "Guo'er has something to say to brother. She is waiting in the back mountain at the moment. Please ask brother to come with Qiao."
"This..." Yang Qing hesitated for a moment, then put away his smile, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
In the back mountain, a clear pool stands quietly among the bamboo groves. The breeze blows, causing ripples. Zhuge Guo has a graceful figure and is dressed in white. The lotus at the corner of his clothes is slightly swaying in the wind. Standing in front of the pool, he looks like a fairy in the sky.
Zhuge Qiao waved his head twice to signal Yang Qing to come over alone. Yang Qing smiled helplessly and walked slowly to Zhuge Guo's side.
Yang Qing did not greet him, and Zhuge Guo did not turn to look at him. Both of them remained silent in tacit agreement.
Just looking at the clear pool water and the bamboo leaves flying up and down all around.
After a long time, Yang Qing broke the silence: "Ms. Zhuge, why did you... call Qing here?"
"You don't have to call me Madam Zhuge, just call me Guo'er today." Zhuge Guo didn't answer him and said something else.
Yang Qing pondered for a long time, and finally called out: "Guo'er."
"Junhou and I have known each other since we met in Chenjiacun that year. At that time, Junhou was able to figure out the truth of the murder case at a glance. It is really admirable to know the subtleties.
Later, he repeatedly solved strange cases, entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, promoted farming, exploited tea and horses, went to Nanzhong, captured enemy bandits, and put down rebellions. Until now, he has been guarding Hanzhong, preparing troops and horses, waiting for the Northern Expedition. He is truly a great talent in the world. Zhuge Guo said slowly.
Yang Qing said: "I'm ashamed, but it's just luck."
"A prince does not need to be too modest. No one in the counties of Yizhou today knows how talented a prince is. Even my father is always full of praise."
Yang Qingqian said: "That is the prime minister's compliment."
"My lord, he never praises others against his will. When he says that a prince is a great talent, he is certainly worthy of his name. I don't know when, I have been deeply in love with you, and I have long been obsessed with it." At this point, Zhuge Guo said A blush gradually appeared on his smooth face.
Yang Qing was shocked when he heard this, and sighed and said: "Guo'er, Qing... How can Qing be so virtuous?"
"Brother Yang, please allow me to call you this. Guo'er has fallen in love with Brother Yang at some point, but it's a pity..." Zhuge Guo said with tears in his eyes. Ao
Yang Qing turned his head and looked at her looking like she was about to cry. He didn't dare to answer and just sighed softly.
Zhuge Guo said: "It's just a pity that Guo'er failed to express his feelings earlier, which is why Brother Yang and I are destined to have no connection." When she said this, her beautiful eyes shed crystal clear tears.
"Guo'er..." Yang Qing called in a low voice.
In fact, he was not unaware of Zhuge Guo's affection for him over the years. Every time he went to Zhuge Liang's house, Zhuge Guo always looked at him affectionately. How could Yang Qing not know such affection?
It's just that he has already been in love with Xia Houyue, how can his deep love be divided into two? Therefore, he has always pretended not to know about his affection for Zhuge Guo and avoided talking about it. At this moment, Zhuge Guo pointed it out, and Yang Qing didn't know how to answer for a moment.
It would be a lie to say that he didn't have a good impression of a woman as talented and beautiful as Zhuge Guo, but he already had his heart set on Xia Houyue, so how could he express any more love for Zhuge Liang's daughter? Even though the two had known each other for a long time, he could only say that they had a close relationship.
Zhuge Guo seemed to understand Yang Qing's difficulties and did not force him. He wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, don't worry about it. This is all Guo'er's wishful thinking. There is no need for Brother Yang to respond. Now brother and Xia Hou Madam, your engagement is coming soon, Guoer sincerely wishes you all the best."
"Guo'er, I..." Yang Qing wanted to comfort her and opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.
I heard Zhuge Guo continue: "I have been holding these words in my heart for two years, but today I feel better after saying them in one breath. Brother Yang, please forgive me for not being able to attend the wedding of you and Madam Xiahou. In a few days I will We are about to return to Chengdu."
Yang Qing was silent, and after a long time he said: "Why not stay longer? There are also some very attractive scenery in Hanzhong, you can go and see it."
"Next time, if there is another chance, I will come to Hanzhong again." Zhuge Guo shook his head slightly.
Yang Qing nodded and said, "That's fine. Just tell me when you're leaving and I'll see you off."
"No need, you are still busy with the wedding."
Yang Qing was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the surface of the pool without saying a word for a long time. After a long time, he said: "Look, this pool of water moves and ripples due to the wind. It is precisely the wind that has feelings and the water that has feelings. Only this mountain peak remains motionless. ."
