Chapter 190 Princess Wei Guochang

"Brother Xue asked me to send the gift to the Goddess Temple yesterday. It seems that the matter is over?" Guo Huaishou asked politely. It is not good to disclose directly.

"It's done." Xue Chang said softly.

"Brother Xue is among dragons and phoenixes, it is impossible for Goddess Palace not to agree to your request." Guo Huaishou said with a smile: "On behalf of the Flying Fish Gang, I congratulate you first!"

Xue Chang smiled, and asked instead: "I wonder how brother Guo sent those gifts to the Goddess Temple yesterday, how is the situation?"

Xue Chang took the initiative to bring up this matter, so that Guo Huaishou would not have to beat around the bush to remind him, so he said: "There is one thing that I find very strange. How could the director of the Goddess Temple know that I, Guo Huaishou, have not married yet? He even knows that I... ...Ahem——" Guo Huaishou turned around to look at Xue Chang's two apprentices, and said in a low voice, "I once liked a disciple from the Goddess Palace..."

"I told the host of Goddess Temple." Xue Chang said frankly, and then looked at Guo Huaishou with a half-smile: "Don't you think that host is familiar?"

"What familiar, I've never seen it before!" Guo Huaishou said angrily.

"Impossible." Xue Chang pretended to be strange and asked, "What does she look like?"

"Haven't you and I seen each other, a middle-aged Taoist nun with an ordinary appearance?" Guo Huaishou said with a sullen face.

"Normal?" Xue Chang smiled, and clapped his hands fiercely: "I understand, this host must have heard your name, so he came out in disguise to meet you."

"What do you mean?" Guo Huaishou was a little confused.

"Brother Guo, the abbot of the Goddess Temple is the person you used to think about day and night, and now the elder of the Goddess Palace, Yan Ranling. She took me to the Goddess Palace in person yesterday. On the way back, I knew that she is still unmarried, so I just talked about you--" "You!--that's all absurd things when I was young! How can you tell her directly about such things! And you didn't tell me the truth, and deliberately asked me to send things to her There, the result was inexplicably ridiculed! Brother Xue, what you did is too absurd, you are simply cheating people!..." Guo Huaishou blushed and loudly expressed his dissatisfaction with Xue Chang.

"Brother Guo, don't be angry, I was really a bit reckless in doing this." Xue Chang first apologized, and then said sincerely: "I just think that you have never been married, Brother Guo, and you have been in Gongzhou for so many years. , it’s too hard for me, I have to let others know your thoughts—”

"Joke! I...I didn't stay in Gongzhou for her!" Guo Huaishou replied stubbornly.

"Brother Guo, ask yourself, until now, do you still think about her?"

Guo Huaishou was stunned by Xue Chang's question. After a while, he slowly shook his head: "...No."

How could Xue Chang believe it? He turned around and said, "Qiu Di, tell me, what would it be like for a woman who has been alone all this time to suddenly learn that there is a strange man who has silently liked her for more than ten years and has never married? Feeling?"

Hu Qiudi glanced at Guo Huaishou, and immediately replied: "Of course I will be very touched. Women are proud of those who please themselves, and she must be very curious about what kind of person this man who likes her is."

"Master, I think so too." Fan Mastiff interrupted.

"Go, go, you have no place to talk here." Xue Chang waved his hand at Fan Mastiff, and then said seriously to Guo Huaishou: "That's why Elder Yan disguised himself to come out to see you after hearing that you had arrived at the Goddess Temple, which means that she I am a little concerned about you, otherwise she must be very tired just after coming back from Goddess Palace with me, so I can just let my disciple receive you directly...Brother Xue, I spent half a day with Elder Yan, and I feel that she is lonely, but Eager to be cared for, if I were you, from now on I would often go to the Goddess Temple to visit, say a few words of greeting, and send some gifts she likes from time to time... After a long time, with sincerity, gold and stone will surely bloom!"

Guo Huaishou was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Twenty years ago, I was in charge of transporting goods to Fengjie. Just near Baidi City, an official ship knocked over a fishing boat. I saw it clearly from the shore, but there was something wrong. Scruples, did not go forward to rescue. At that time, a girl in colorful clothes flew from the opposite Chijia Mountain, rescued the fishermen who fell into the river, and beat everyone on the official boat, and then said, "I am Yan Ranling from Goddess Palace, if she is not satisfied, come to Wushan to find me', she will drift away. Since then, her figure has remained in my mind, and I can't get rid of it... At that time, I was like Obsessed with a demon, he went to Wushan regardless of his adoptive father's dissuasion, and the result...

Guo Huaishou smiled wryly and said, "I finally know that the Flying Fish Gang is incomparable to the Goddess Palace. I'm just a toad who wants to eat swan meat..."

"What's the matter with the toad? Even a white swan wants to eat, drink, and scatter, and has emotions, especially people of Elder Yan's age should know that a person who really cares and loves him is more precious than gold and silver! But the key question It's Brother Guo, you have to express all these concerns and longings to her, instead of keeping them in your heart." Xue Chang sincerely persuaded.

"It would be great if I could meet Brother Xue a few years ago..." Guo Huaishou sighed, and his eyes gradually became brighter: "I, Mr. Guo, don't dare to expect to marry Miss Yan, but I can talk to her more in the future." A few words to relieve her loneliness, that is also good."

"That's right!" Xue Chang praised loudly.

Guo Huaishou got rid of the knot in his heart, and felt joyful in his heart, he said loudly: "Brother Xue, we have to hurry up and try to get to Fengjie before sunset, and then I invite you to have a good meal at our Flying Fish Gang's residence, Let’s celebrate this year’s Lantern Festival!”

Xue Chang was taken aback: "Is today the Lantern Festival?"

"Yes, Master, today is the Lantern Festival, and we are going to spend it on the road." Hu Qiudi reminded with a slight complaint.

"Shangyuan Festival..." Xue Chang was in a trance, and the scene when he bid farewell to Luo Lanmeng at Rongzhou Military Camp came back to his mind.

..........................................................................................

On the night of the Yuan Dynasty, the city of Luoyang is decorated with lanterns and festoons. The lights are as bright as day, and the streets and alleys are full of tourists, which is very lively.

The same is true in the palace. This is the fifth year of Emperor Taixiang's reign and the second year he held Lantern Festival in the palace.He moved the lantern market, juggling, fireworks, drama, and even grocery sales that could only be seen on the street in the past to the open space in front of the main hall for the whole day, allowing the guards in the palace, some maids, royal family members and Officials and their families invited by Emperor Taixiang can enter the front hall to watch and play.

This is an astonishing move that has never been seen in all dynasties. When Emperor Taixiang proposed this idea before the Shangyuan Festival last year, he was strongly opposed by his officials, but he insisted on holding it. He also won the love of many officials and common people, and praised him as the emperor who is close to the people.So this year, he continued to hold it, and the scale was even bigger than last time. Although some ministers still expressed objections, they were completely ignored by him.

What is good at the top will be effective at the bottom.The front hall was so noisy, and the concubines in the harem ordered the eunuchs and maids to hang up all kinds of lanterns, and played garden activities such as visiting lanterns and guessing lantern riddles, which was also very lively.

There was only one place that seemed deserted—the Yaohua Hall, the residence of Emperor Taixiang's younger sister, Princess Wei Guochang, and there were only Zhou Wanyao and Luo Lanmeng in the hall at this moment.

"Meng'er, don't think too much, no matter whether Xue Chang will go to Wushan or not, he will definitely come to Luoyang, and you will definitely see him then." Zhou Wanyao softly comforted Luo Lanmeng who was out of her mind.

Ever since Luo Lanmeng learned that the master she has been with for more than ten years is her own mother, although she has complained, she is more happy. In the past two months, she has enjoyed a lot of what a master-student enjoys. The mother-daughter relationship that I have seen, for example, today she lay in front of the window without thinking about tea or food, staring at the south, and sat motionless for a long time. If she had been in the Goddess Palace in the past, Zhou Wanyao, as a master, would have started reprimanding her. He must also obey, but Zhou Wanyao, who is now a mother, is extremely tolerant.

"Mother..." Every time Luo Lanmeng said this title, the heart of the elder of the Goddess Palace softened.

Luo Lanmeng's face was a little haggard, but her pair of watery eyes were as bright as clouds, coupled with a gorgeous palace dress, she was even more beautiful than before. She said with a firm expression: "I believe Xue Lang must have Arrived at Wushan!" Then she lowered her eyes again, and whispered guiltily, "But when he finds out that I'm not on the mountain, he will be very disappointed..."

Zhou Wanyao sighed secretly, walked over, hugged her daughter's shoulders, and comforted her again: "Meng'er, although we have no choice but to leave the Goddess Palace, this is just a test for you and him. If he really likes You, you should understand your difficulties, and then try your best to come to Luoyang to see you. If he resents you because of this, or even refuses to see you again, it just means that he doesn't really care about you, and you should stop treating him early It's good to think about it."

"Xue Lang won't hate me, he will definitely come to Luoyang to see me!" Luo Lanmeng immediately retorted: "I'm just worried about the competition between him and the uncle—"

"You don't have to worry about this." Zhou Wanyao said firmly: "Don't look at your uncle who is usually fierce to outsiders, in fact, she has a sense of propriety and will not be cruel to Xue Chang. Besides, he was able to defeat Xue Chang half a year ago. Zhen Youli of the Qingcheng faction has obtained the qualification to start the faction, and his martial arts are not low. Even if he fails, he can protect himself well and not get hurt—”

"Why must Xue Lang be defeated? He was able to defeat Daoist Zhen half a year ago who didn't have much difference between his master and uncle. Could it be impossible for him to defeat his master half a year later?!" Luo Lanmeng retorted dissatisfied.
