Uncle Guo

After the Lantern Festival, Chang Qinghe dug out the unburned firecrackers, which were no longer needed, and it would be a pity to throw them away. They had to be stored in another place and used again next year.

When Huo Kong saw it, there was no reason to let it go, so he rushed over to play, and the ground, water, and air also gathered around to watch, all scrambling to light the fire letter.How did he know that everyone was having fun, when suddenly, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers exploding, Huo Kong screamed miserably.Chang Qinghe rushed out of the study to see that Huo Kong was accidentally injured by the blast, but he was not dead, half of his face was blown to pieces, rolling on the ground screaming.

Chang Qinghe hurriedly went to the army to find a doctor, after a flurry of treatment, even Liang Xuanchen rushed back to see the news.

There are a lot of wound medicines in the army, everything you need to treat knife wounds, fire wounds, and blast wounds, but Huo Kong's face is completely disfigured.He was crying and lying on the bed, his wounds were festering, and he dared not approach him, because he thought the smell was too strong and his appearance was frightening.It was Chang Qinghe who carefully changed the dressing and washed his wound, and finally healed slowly.

Huo Kong plucked up the courage to look in the mirror, and felt that it was unsightly, so he offered to leave Mr. Liang.

Isn't Liang Xuanchen the kind of ungrateful person, he gave Huo Kong a large sum of money to help Huo Kong buy a house and shop in Jinling, and even married a wife, so he was relieved to let him leave.

From then on, it was Chang Qinghe who waited on the third master to make the bed and get up early to change clothes. Like Huo Kong, he intertwined his arms and stretched out a few times, tied up the waistband, lifted the third master's left leg on his shoulder and put it on. He lifted his right leg over his shoulder and put on the right boot, but after finishing his work, Liang Xuanchen didn't pinch his neck hard.He just sighed: "It's a pity, the daughter-in-law I told Huo Kong was a bit ugly, and everyone said that the father was a little bit, and the mother was a bit like a litter, and they would have a litter of ugly children in the future. Alas...it's a pity."

Chang Qinghe patted him with straight robe corners, and said earnestly: "The third master is not the kind of superficial person who judges people by appearance."

Liang Xuanchen laughed dryly, but did not answer this time.

While serving Liang Xuanchen to take a bath, Chang Qinghe wiped his back and couldn't help but said, "Third Master, have you slept with Gu Changfeng?"

Liang Xuanchen pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "Soon."

"Soon is not yet."

Liang Xuanchen said: "This kind of thing can't be rushed, otherwise it will be easy to fall out. And I don't want to fall out with him, even if we can't get along well, we can be brothers and friends."

Chang Qinghe said: "I think this kind of thing also pays attention to being quick, ruthless and accurate. Otherwise, someone like Mr. Gu may be inadvertently let others take the lead. At that time, the third master can only be his brother or friend. gone?"

Liang Xuanchen disagreed, "Then you are very wrong, don't think that there are many people chasing after Mr. Gu, on the contrary, most people only dare to look at it from a distance, and will not come forward Go, because I feel ashamed to even say a word to him."

Chang Qinghe said: "Someday let the little one see Mr. Gu, what kind of character is he?"

"Okay, I have an appointment with him to go outing tomorrow, and you just happen to help me lead the horse." After taking a bath, Liang Xuanchen got out of the shower, took a towel and wiped it off, and put on his clothes. He suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Chang Qinghe asked.

"You don't want to dress up like this when you go out tomorrow. Go to my room and pick up some nice clothes to put on. I'm about the same size as you, so I should be able to wear them."

Chang Qinghe said: "How can it be done, the third master is a noble son, and the younger one is a slave."

"Military households are not slaves. Besides, you can read and read like that now. Maybe you will abandon martial arts and follow literature in the future. Your future is limitless. Come on, hold your head high and speak with confidence. Don't lose your looks." Ba Liang Xuanchen patted him on the back, lifted Chang Qinghe's chin with his hand, and adjusted his posture. "That's right, you need to have the majestic appearance of a warrior, but also have the demeanor of a gentleman like jade."

Chang Qinghe returned to the house, there was no mirror, so he practiced against the shadow on the wall, and put on an appearance of both civil and military skills.However, he knows that he is just a show for now.

Seeing that the lamp was still on in the study, he went in to deliver tea, with a copy of "The Doctrine of the Mean" under his arm, and asked Liang Xuanchen to explain it.

When Liang Xuanchen talked about "The Doctrine of the Mean", it was humorous, the allusions came out of his mouth, and the unofficial history was added. Chang Qinghe was stunned when he heard it. He just felt like listening to the book in a teahouse. The sound of sages and sages lecturing to their disciples has been flowing in ancient times.

Talking late into the night, Chang Qinghe asked: "Among the stories of these sages, which one, or which sentence touched the third master the most?"

Liang Xuanchen thought for a while, "It's not the words of the sages that impress me the most, but that they also have joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys. For example, the sentence of repaying grievances with virtue is to persuade people to let go of hatred, but it's not easy to wipe out hatred with a smile. Repaying grievances with virtue is the next sentence How to repay virtue, a sage should be a real sage who hates evil like hatred and distinguishes right from wrong."

Chang Qinghe still wanted to ask more questions, but Liang Xuanchen yawned, "Let's stop here today, and get up early tomorrow."

Since he said so, Chang Qinghe could only retreat.

Lying in bed at night, looking at the moonlight outside the window, he silently recited eight words: "Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue."

In the early morning of the second day, Chang Qinghe entered the house with a toothbrush and water to wash his face as usual, and waited for Liang Xuanchen to get up and change his clothes.

However, Liang Xuanchen took out a jade pendant from under the pillow, "Go to the closet to find a suit of clothes to put on, and I will give you this jade pendant together. I got it by accident when I was in the northwest. If you have nowhere to go, you can take it as a pawn." An emergency. But it’s agreed, don’t be blind to money, when you’re not in a hurry, you can’t sell it no matter how much you pay, do you understand? This is the treasure that the third master risked his life to get, it’s not a family heirloom.”

Chang Qinghe was puzzled, "Is it necessary for a boy leading a horse to dress up as a nobleman?"

"Isn't today your birthday, I remember correctly?"

Chang Qinghe was surprised, he had indeed forgotten that he had been serving Huo Kong for several months now, and his wife had already agreed, but it wasn't that he was full today.

"This gift is too expensive, and the little ones dare not accept it."

"Take it, you don't dare to accept what your third master got in exchange for his life?"

Chang Qinghe suddenly wanted to kneel on the ground and kowtow, but this was really inappropriate and would make Liang Xuanchen laugh.

Liang Xuanchen tied up his waist, sat down and pulled out his boots, and said: "Don't pick out clothes yet, pick a darker color, which is eye-catching with Hetian jade."

Chang Qinghe said: "Give me such a fine jade, what should the third master wear today?"

Liang Xuanchen took the horsewhip and swung it in a circle in his hand, "Gentleman Ruyu, your third master, do I need to wear anything else?"

Chang Qinghe wore a dark blue brocade robe with fish patterns awkwardly, led two horses, and followed Liang Xuanchen to ride to the western suburbs. When they arrived, many young masters and ladies from noble families were there, Everyone raced horses, rode and shot, gambled and had a great time.Although the fight started again in the north after the beginning of spring, but anyway, it was the uncles and nephews of the Han family who were fighting among themselves. Except for the ministers in the court who were fighting each other with red faces every day, it had nothing to do with them.If he didn't come, then he was in a hurry at home, fearing that he might have something to do with King Qin.Even Liang Zhenghui came today, Emperor Huiwen refused to let him go to the battlefield, so he had no choice but to fall in love with the Miss Chu family who had never been married. Unfortunately, besides being able to fight, he is also a fool when he talks about falling in love with his boss. Miss Chu was angry and ignored him.

Chang Qinghe glanced at the crowd, and saw a tall nobleman who was particularly eye-catching, because his curly hair was different from others, Liang Xuanchen called "Bohan", and he turned around, with sword eyebrows and staring eyes , It is indeed unforgettable.However, when it comes to saying that the most beautiful man in the capital, Chang Qinghe thinks too much, at least Liang Xuanchen is not inferior to him in terms of appearance and demeanor.

The two of them started talking, and the one next to him, who seemed to be a lady, walked up with a fan and said, "Gu Er, they bet on the horse race over there, and they bet on it. Do you want to join in?"

Gu Changfeng said: "Who owns the horse and who handles the whip?"

"Then you have to come and see for yourself, I can't tell right now."

Liang Xuanchen said: "Sister Cao still misses Gu Erlang so much?"

Then Ms. Cao smiled and said: "You are thinking about Gu Er too much, I just want to save him from the fire pit."

Liang Xuanchen said: "It's a pity that Gu Er is now the son-in-law. If you want to save him from the fire pit, you can only be wronged and become a concubine."

Miss Cao said: "Do you have to marry him as a concubine to save someone from the fire pit? Then you married him?"

Liang Xuanchen said: "I'm afraid I'm the one who pushed him into the fire pit."

Miss Cao said: "It is clear that your sixth younger sister pushed him into the fire pit."

Gu Changfeng couldn't listen anymore, "Talk slowly, I'll go watch their horse racing."

Miss Cao was not busy chasing Gu Changfeng, but instead glanced behind Liang Xuanchen, leaned closer and said to Liang Xuanchen, "Where did you find that little wolf cub, it's not bad!"

"What are you talking about, it's just a colleague in the army." Liang Xuanchen's face was full of displeasure, "Do I want a man?"

Miss Cao said: "If I were you, I would choose this one, and don't care about Gu Er."

"It's so cheap for you?" Liang Xuanchen said, leaving her to chase Gu Changfeng.

Chang Qinghe knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he hurriedly chased after Liang Xuanchen, but Miss Cao stretched out her hand to stop her, "Don't hurry away, this master just looks at him, may I ask which family he is from?"

Chang Qinghe wasn't even in the mood to squeeze a smile, "I'm just a boy who came to lead the horse for Third Young Master Liang."

Ms. Cao sighed, "Sure enough, it's a new wolf cub, so pretend!"

In the western suburbs, Chang Qinghe saw how the young masters and ladies of noble families had fun to pass the time. He was dressed like a dog, but no one recognized his real identity.

He asked Liang Xuanchen why he asked him to dress up like this, but because today is his birthday, let him also have a rich and powerful son's addiction?

Liang Xuanchen said: "Do you still remember the first time I saw you, what did you say about yourself?"

Chang Qinghe was a little puzzled.

"You said you were a military household, not a servant. At that time, I took a new look at you. I saw that you study hard on weekdays, and it is obvious that you are not in the same way as those four empty ones. You will go out and enter the Changqing River in the future. You know, why did you put yourself in the ranks of the sons of the rich and powerful? The rich and powerful are just born, so it’s hard to say what will happen in the future. Since ancient times, heroes don’t ask where they came from, remember?”

Chang Qinghe nodded: "Remember!"

The two returned to the barracks at night, but they heard that the frontline court army had suffered a big defeat, and King Qin was ready to attack Shandong.
