Five days later, the two finally entered the city of Xiangyang in the afternoon. Guo Fu looked at the familiar scenery and shed tears without words after a few months of separation.Huang Rui was blooming when she left, but now the wintersweet has shown her beauty. When she left, she walked alone, and when she returned, she flew together.With tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips, she tilted her head and looked at Yang Guo, "Brother Yang, we are finally home. Only after experiencing life and death together and life and death hardships in just a few months, did I know how to cherish each other, and only then did I realize how deeply rooted I am." The love in our hearts. Fortunately, we held each other in time, otherwise we would regret it for the rest of our lives."
"Fu'er, the true love in the world is always doomed, and now it is guarded so that the clouds will open and the moon will shine." Yang Guo's starry eyes are like water, warmly touching her heart.
The gate of the Guo Mansion was wide open, and the old butler looked at the two returning home with wide-eyed smiles, "Miss, Mr. Yang, you are back. Master and Madam read and hang on every day."
"Uncle Wu wishes you New Year's greetings. I wish you all the best in all seasons." Guo Fu smiled and took out the plum blossom silver ingot and handed it to the housekeeper.
Yang Guo also took out the prepared 'spending money' and tipped the housekeeper.The old housekeeper had already sent someone to report to Mrs. Master, and the two happily entered the courtyard and walked towards the study hand in hand.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong cared about them for several months, when they heard that they had returned home, they rushed to the study to wait, they walked in side by side, they lived together for several months, Guo Fu was already used to being held by Yang Guo, she didn't feel anything wrong.Seeing their intimate behavior, Guo Jing and Huang Rong's expressions changed slightly, and their brows frowned.
Guo Fu saw the solemn faces of her parents, and suddenly realized that the intimate behavior between herself and Yang Guo was very inappropriate, she gently withdrew her hand, her cheeks were dizzy, and her expression twisted.The two kowtowed to Jing Rong and saluted.
"The red wedding bags are ready for the two of you. You have experienced a lot of things after going out for a few months. Sit down and talk about it." Huang Rong sent happy money to the two of them, and looked at her daughter's brows with a more mature look. shy.Looking at Yang Guo again, his face is handsome, with a little arrogance in his stability.Deep affection flows in the eyes of the two children, and every frown and smile is full of amorous feelings.She smiled knowingly, and looked at her husband calmly, and the two of them knew each other.
Guo Fu and Guo Fu sat down separately, and Yang Guo detailed the experience of several months, Guo Fu interrupted from time to time to add, the two cooperated tacitly.
Yang Guo talked from noon to evening, briefly and in detail about the experiences of several months, about the adventures with the ghost mother-in-law in Sichuan and the battle of Diaoyu City in detail, but he just skipped the incident of looking for Xiang'er and getting injured.
Listening to their adventure, Guo Jing and Huang Rong sometimes frowned and sighed, sometimes nodded with a smile, "You guys have gained a lot of wealth in your life after going out for several months this time. You have grown up and matured together, and you will do your best. Do things and accept the results calmly." Guo Jing was very pleased to feel the slight changes in the two children.
"Well, if I knew this was the case, I should let Fu'er go out to practice more. It's just that she didn't have any reassuring people to accompany her. You haven't taken care of rest when you come back, so go back to your room and have a rest, let's talk at dinner." Huang Rong smiled. Looking at the two of them, who had already hugged their daughter into their arms, they were both relieved and distressed.
"Mother, I'm not tired. Tonight, I will cook a few dishes for my mother and father to make up for the sin of being away from home for many days and not being able to serve the left and right." Guo Funi acted like a baby in her mother's arms.
Huang Rong scolded with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry today, silly girl, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, time will be long, we are still at this moment to please you, go and freshen up quickly. Just ask me and your father, Please take your time too."
Listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, Yang Guo was startled, Aunt Guo's quick mind was frightening.
Guo Fu didn't see her sister during dinner, so she felt suspicious, "Mother, where is Xiang'er?" She asked in a low voice.
"Xiang'er went out on the sixth day of the lunar new year. She said she wanted to roam around like grandpa. She thought it was the last time she went out to play and became addicted." Huang Rong said lightly, but she was extremely helpless in her heart. The younger daughter usually looks well-behaved, but in fact she is more stubborn than Fuer. Worse.
When Guo Fu heard the news about her sister, she kept silent and was depressed all night.
Nothing to say all night.In the early morning of the next day, Yang Guo mysteriously disappeared.
"Where have you been these three days?" Guo Fu opened the door and saw Yang Guo standing outside, looking at her with a smile.
"Miss me. I went out to do some errands. I left early the day before yesterday and didn't come to say goodbye to you. Why are you blocking the door? Why don't you invite me in." Son, don't let her worry if you don't say goodbye.
"This is my room, so I can't come in casually." Guo Fu came out of the room and closed the door behind her, "I didn't say anything when I went out, I was so anxious. Brother, is there something urgent? I'll wait for you in the pharmacy, you go quickly Get some rest and come back to me."
"No need to rest, I have something to tell you." He held her hand and led her to the medicine room.
The door of the medicine room closed behind them, Yang Guo turned around and hugged Guo Fu, "Fu'er, I miss you so much."
Guo Fu looked resentful, and pursed her round cherry lips, "Where are you going, don't say a word, I'm worried to death."
"Afraid that I will slip away? No, I will take you with me wherever I go, and I will not leave for a moment. I am going to buy the dowry, and I will propose marriage to Uncle Guo tonight." He chuckled and hugged her sideburns Mo, "Fu'er will definitely help me, and I feel uneasy. I really don't know how Aunt Guo will react."
Guo Fu looked up at him in surprise, "Yang Guo, what you said is true? So soon, who did you hire as a matchmaker? I thought you had to wait until after the first month."
"I ask Uncle Zhu to protect the media, Aunt Guo will not lose face."
"I advise you to go to sleep for a while, so you can be refreshed at night." Guo Fu sighed softly in his arms, "You can obey my mother whatever she says, but if you are not humble, give my mother face, and you have to fight for it. It's hard to grasp the speed." She frowned, worried.
"Well, I understand. Look, you are more worried than me now. If it doesn't work, I will kidnap you." Yang Guo lifted her delicate chin and kissed her deeply.
"That's not the case. Daddy will be happy if you ask Uncle Zhu to act as a matchmaker. Daddy will definitely agree when the ceremony is over. Go and rest for a while and refresh yourself."
"I haven't seen you for three days. I miss you. Holding you like this is the best rest." Thinking of the difficulties he will face at night, Yang Guo hugged her tightly to comfort his helpless and anxious heart.
"Brother Yang, are you so nervous? It wasn't like this the last time you proposed to marry me. What's the matter today?" Guo Fu wrapped her arms around his waist, her small face resting on the crescent of his neck, "What are you afraid of? You are so brave." She thought of him who was arrogant and rebellious when he was young.Infinite distressed in my heart, if my mother really set up a difficult situation for him today, there is really no one to help, I can only pin my hope on my father, I only hope that my father will say yes to Brother Yang soon.
After dinner, Yang Guo sent someone to carry four large boxes into Guo's study, and waited quietly for Uncle Guo and the others.He stood by the window, thinking about how to speak to avoid mentioning the past.
"It's been a great time! Is this the dowry gift you prepared?" Zhu Ziliu stepped into the study, tsk-tsk admiringly, "You can save the cost of postings and blind dates. The two of you already have a marriage contract. Have a glass of wine." Zhu Ziliu laughed loudly when he said that.
Yang Guo on the side shook his head and smiled wryly, "Uncle Zhu, please give me some good words today."
While they were talking, Guo Jing and Huang Rong entered the study room, followed by Guo Fu with a timid face. She was dressed in a brocade dress and a jade belt around her waist. She was peerless and charming in the candlelight and fireflies.
"Why is Senior Brother Zhu so happy?" Huang Rong glanced at the box in the room and Zhu and Yang, and smiled slightly. After exchanging greetings, everyone sat down.
"I'm here to congratulate you. I'm not happy. I've admired Fu'er for a long time. Today, I'm the god of marriage. I'm holding a phoenix and a lonely luan with a red rope, asking for a cup of wedding wine." Zhu Ziliu explained his intention to Guo Jing and his wife. .I thought to myself, Yang Guo is also very nervous, they are a couple, Guo Jing has long approved of this marriage, as the saying goes, 'there is no marriage without a matchmaker', today I just went for a walk, and gave the due courtesy to the two children Be thorough. "Guoer Zhensong Jinbai, Fuerlan loves Huihui, the two children are a perfect couple, Kuang Guo and Yang's ancestors have long been married, I think the red tape, blind dates, etc. can be saved. Najib, Please arrange it together today so that the children's marriage can be settled early."
Guo Jing was overjoyed, thinking that Yang Guo's affairs were safe, and the etiquette of proposing marriage was thoughtful, and he was about to agree, but Huang Rong said from the side: "Brother Zhu should have agreed to be the mediator, our husband and wife can trust the elder brother, and we have to give him face." Big Brother Zhu. It’s just about Fu’er’s lifelong happiness. Parents should be cautious, don’t you think that’s the reason?” She glanced at Yang Guo who was standing aside, her expression was tense and cautious, and she changed from her previous arrogance and free-spiritedness .I sneered in my heart, good Yang Guo, you have such a thoughtful mind, please ask Brother Zhu to protect the matchmaker, even if I want to make things difficult for you, I still have to see Zhu Ziliu's kindness.When you refused to marry back then, you were absolutely arrogant, and then you came to propose after a few years. Is my Huang Rong's daughter what you want?If it weren't for the sake of saving Fuer's life several times over the years, I would definitely not agree.If I don't let you suffer a little bit today, how can I make up for the pain you hurt my Fu'er.
Zhu Ziliu was originally a person with exquisite thoughts, when he heard what Huang Rong said, he smiled wryly in his heart, Huang Rong must have something in his heart, no wonder Yang Guo was so nervous.He smiled embarrassingly, "What Chief Huang said is very true. Marriage should be considered carefully. It's just that the two children are not young, so you and your husband should carefully consider it." He made a pun and smiled impatiently.Looking at Yang Guo and shaking his head slightly, he felt very sympathetic, this child offends no one but his prospective mother-in-law, he is pestering him today.
"Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo, Fumei's nature of raw jade and pure gold, and the appearance of Lilan Yuanzhi, my nephew is very envious. Fumei and I have a good relationship, respond to each other, and seek each other with the same spirit. I want to establish a good relationship Marriage between the two surnames, I hope that the two elders will become a bond of red silk." Yang Guo bit the bullet and wanted to accept Aunt Guo's move, only hoping that Uncle Guo would express his opinion.He turned around and opened the boxes one by one. "Prepare big tea and light gifts today to express my sincere feelings."
The first box contains three golds, gold bracelets, gold rings, and gold pendants.
The second box contains golden satin with large sleeves, red satin with large sleeves, gold skirt with yellow silk, long red satin skirt and pieces of satin of various colors.
The third box contains jewelry such as special bun with pearls and emeralds, round crown with emeralds and crowns, four-season crown flowers, and rings with emeralds and jewels.
The fourth box, scented tea fruit, reunion cakes, sheep wine, mountain tea and sea sand, etc.
Then Yang Guo took out a wooden box and put it in front of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, he saw that the wood of the box was warm and delicate, the lines were fine and delicate, the golden threads were shining, and it exuded a faint mellow fragrance.Guo Fu was shocked when she saw it, the box was made of precious golden nanmu and ebony.
Even though Huang Rong was well-informed, she was shocked. This wood is precious and rare, and it is very spiritual, and it can prolong life if placed indoors.
Yang Guo gently opened the box, and inside the box were two lifelike geese carved from jade crystal, lingering on each other. Put it in front of Guo Fu.
In addition, he took out red and green scripts depicting gold dragons and phoenixes, and presented them in Guo Jing's hands. '
Huang Rong's ink pupils narrowed slightly, her handsome face was unusually calm, she thought to herself: For such a big effort, he has already prepared all the three rites and six appointments.This time is completely different from the last marriage proposal, this kid Yang Guo came prepared, he figured out my thoughts so accurately, he didn't give me a reason to refuse.Her thoughts turned quickly, she glanced at Fu'er standing by her side, and cursed in her heart: The silly girl helped him like this, the brat has a lot of tricks, what should he do if he bullies you in the future.
Guo Fu's almond-eyed eyes widened in amazement as she looked at the successively opened boxes, and was moved in her heart: those who fall in love are truly moved.I am always afraid that I will be wronged, and today I am hired with a generous gift. Brother Yang has put a lot of thought into it, and there is a clear spring in his eyes.She sneaked a glance at her parents, her father smiled openly and she should have no objection, but her mother's expression was so serious that people couldn't guess her thoughts, she could only hope that she would be merciful because of Yang Guo's hard work.
"After a while, don't be so extravagant, originally—" Guo Jing was also very surprised, the child showed his respect with such care.Before he could finish speaking, Huang Rong interrupted him coldly, "Guoer, what is this? What kind of people do you think me and your Uncle Guo are! We are marrying our daughters, not selling them."
"Fumei's appearance is like the brilliance of the sun and the moon, and there is nothing in the world to match her. The ordinary people must follow the common etiquette, and dare not neglect it. I hope that uncles and aunts will not dislike her."
"Guoer, have you ever heard of an ancient allusion? It's almost the same thing as splashing water in front of a horse. 'If it's said that it's more harmonious, it's hard to get it back.'"
Yang Guo knelt on the ground, dripping with cold sweat, "In ancient times, there was also a case of reunion after a broken mirror, and the ritual of reuniting after a lost joy. Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo's sinking boat can still make up for it. Please give my nephew a chance to reform."
"If you see good things, you will move, and if you have mistakes, you will change them. The mistakes have been changed now, and Ke Yiye has done things well. But what happened today has nothing to do with reforming mistakes. Do you know the saying that 'a good horse never turns back Grass'." Huang Rong smiled faintly, but did not let go.She turned to look at her husband with a soft expression.
Guo Jing looked at his wife's tender eyes, recalled his marriage proposal on Peach Blossom Island, and suddenly understood her good intentions.
"Aunt Guo has already accepted me as a prodigal son, and also claimed that it is not too late for my nephew to turn around." Yang Guo secretly complained, but he couldn't help it. Cleverly avoid the word "turn back grass".
Huang Rong snorted coldly in her heart, and she opened her mouth sharply, "This matter of marriage and fate, and the fate of karma, must never be violated."
Yang Guo took out a post about Na Cai's name from his pocket, knelt down and presented it in front of Jing Rong, "Guo Er dared to ask Fu Mei to marry her without the consent of Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo, please forgive me." Chilling, but fortunately I came prepared, Aunt Guo is pressing every sentence today, making things difficult everywhere.No wonder Fuer reminded me many times.
Huang Rong opened the post and asked for their names. The post clearly stated Guo'er and Fu'er's birth dates, and also stated the two people's fortunes: "The fate of each other is related to each other, the heaven and the earth are in harmony, the man's life is yang, and the woman's life is yin. Fate and fate are compatible, genus is compatible, heavenly stems and earthly branches are also compatible, not afraid of evil spirits in the pillars, not afraid of overcoming or resisting against overcoming, the two trees grow together, the foundation is bound to be solid, and they will grow old together. After reading the post, Huang Rong handed the asking name post to Guo Jing, thinking: Yang Guo, you have done all your homework, but I underestimated you. "Brother Jing, take a look. Since Guo'er has taken a lot of thought, we can't just say no. How about this? I'll test you. If you answer well, we will marry you. If you don't answer well, we'll let it go. After all, Fu My son is the treasure in the palm of my hand and your Uncle Guo, the matter of choosing a son-in-law should not be hasty, do you think so?"
Yang Guo frowned, bowed his head and knelt there, his thoughts were not good, Aunt Guo only said 'good answer' but not 'right answer', how can this 'good' be 'good'. "Guoer knows that Fumei's character is precious, and if I want to climb high, my uncle and aunt have to seriously consider it."
"Okay, listen up." Huang Rong smiled confidently, Yang Guo, Yang Guo, Fu'er promised you back then, you don't want it, don't blame me for making things difficult for you today.
"I ask you, does the sky have a head?"
"Heaven has a head. In the West, it is said in the Book of Songs that 'it favors the west'."
"Let me ask you again, does the sky have ears?"
"Yes, the sky lives in a high place and can hear the voices from the low place. It is said in the "Book of Songs" that 'the sound of cranes and nine highs is heard in the sky'."
"Do you have feet that day?"
"Yes, it is written in the "Book of Songs": 'The sky is difficult'. If there are no feet, how can there be steps?"
"Does heaven have a surname?"
"There is a surname, and the surname is Zhao."
"How do you know the surname is Zhao?"
"I learned that the surname of Emperor Song is Zhao."
The two asked and answered, and the other three were dumbfounded.Guo Fu's hanging heart relaxed, and she thought in her heart: It's so dangerous, thanks to Brother Yang's quick response and talent.Niang asked such a tricky question that most people can't answer it.
"You have passed this test, and I will ask you about military affairs." Huang Rong didn't change her face, but she admired her in her heart. This kid has a quick mind, and it hasn't been wasted for more than ten years.
Guo Fu, who had just relaxed, heard her mother's words, her almond-shaped eyes widened in shock, her heart pounding, why did she still have to test him?Mother is determined to make things difficult for him today.Her palms were sweating, and she regretted it in her heart. If she had known this before, she should not have refused when he proposed marriage for the first time.In today's situation, how can mother be willing to give up.
"Let me ask you, in the Warring States Period, what is it about Bai Qi, Wu'an Lord, who is superior to Sun Wuzi in terms of combat thinking?"
Yang Guo pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized that Aunt Guo was blaming him for not taking advantage of the victory in the Battle of Diaoyu City to pursue Meng Ge, he suddenly felt as if someone had slapped his cheeks, cold sweat rolled down his spine, and replied in a low voice: "Aunt Guo taught me a lesson. Yes, Guo Er knew his mistake. Bai Qi's "anticipating the enemy's changes, surprises are endless." He advocated fighting annihilation and chasing wars, and was good at field offensives. Wars must be annihilated. This feature is better than Sun Tzu's "Careful War Theory". Don't chase after poor bandits proposed by Sun Wu."
"Hmph, you are quite clever. There is no friendship on the battlefield, only opponents and enemies. You have a delicate relationship with him. If you are in danger and he lets you go, it is considered friendship. Do you understand the subtlety of human affairs? Ji Tongxiang and Zhuge Liang, it's just a courtesy greeting, the two are still at odds. But let me tell you a word, a hero must learn to turn his face when it is time to turn his face, regardless of public and private, how to make a big deal!" Huang Rong raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression was stern, " This question is not counted, but the answer is correct but not done correctly.”
"Thank you for your aunt's humble words and righteous teachings, I will keep it in my heart."
"Mother, why didn't you do the math when you got the answer right?" Guo Fu protested softly, shaking Huang Rong's shoulder in disbelief, looking at Yang Guo who was kneeling there, she felt a dull pain in her heart. Just answer one question.
Yang Guo listened to Guo Fu pleading for him, and looked at her softly. The two eyes met and looked at each other affectionately. His eyes were firm and gentle, and his tender eyes carried a comforting smile. Guo Fu, he shook his head slightly at her, signaling to her that he was fine, and no matter how hard it was, he would never give up on her.
"Hmph, if you make a mistake, you should count it as a mistake. I said that if you don't count, you are being merciful." Huang Rong calmly interrupted the two people's affectionate gaze, and sighed in her heart. Be nice to people.Yang Guo has been in love with this child since he was a child, if you don't frustrate him for you today, how can you rest assured that you will entrust the rest of your life to him. "After a while, do you understand the classics? Listen carefully to the topic: There is a student with good qualifications. A "Mencius" has been written for three days, and the number of words per day has doubled. How much do you read every day?"
As soon as this question came up, Yang Guo's cheeks were hot, and he was extremely embarrassed. The question was not difficult to calculate, but he didn't know how many words there were in "Mencius".Don't know how to figure out the answer.
Guo Fu saw that he was embarrassed, she coughed lightly, attracted Yang Guo's attention, and calmly compared five numbers with her fingers, 3, 4, 6, 8, 5.
Yang Guo smiled when he saw the five numbers hinted by Fu'er. "Mencius" has a total of 34685 characters. He pondered for a moment, "Aunt Guo, I figured it out. I read 19820 characters on the first day and 9910 on the second day." words, read 4955 words on the third day.”
Huang Rong smiled slightly and said that he got the answer right, thinking that this kid is really quick at mental calculations, "You are really quick at calculations, this is over. I'll ask some practical questions next."
Guo Fu, who was finally standing by the side, couldn't bear it any longer. She twitched her mouth, "Mother, how many questions are there? How can there be such a test? It's not an imperial examination. Why don't you go to the imperial list to recruit a champion?" " As soon as she said the words, she felt that something was wrong, she was ashamed and annoyed for a moment, she stomped her feet and ran out.
"Fu'er, stop, how can you talk to your mother like that. Come back to me, don't leave!" Guo Jing sat there looking at his daughter with piercing eyes, his expression was not angry but mighty.
Seeing her father getting angry, Guo Fu didn't dare to speak, so she came back and stood aside, her cheeks flushed, and she turned her face away in shame.
"There is a story in "Dongpo Jushi Ai Zi Miscellaneous Stories", a man named Mao Kong saw Ai Zi returned from Chu State to Qi State, and said to him: There is a duck that can lay hundreds of eggs at a time; a few days ago A piece of meat thirty feet long and ten feet wide fell from the sky. Aizi didn't believe it, so he asked him: Have you seen that duck? Where did the piece of meat fall? Mao Kong replied: I haven't seen it with my own eyes. , I heard it from others. Guoer, what is the point of this?" Huang Rong continued to ask Yang Guo, not caring about her daughter's protest.
The more Yang Guo listened, the more embarrassed he became, remembering that he had misunderstood Uncle Guo back then, his palms were soaked in sweat, his face showed shame, and he replied softly: "This means that you can't listen to and believe in pretentious things. Hearing is delusion, seeing is deception. Reality."
"The Master said: Listen to the way and talk about it, and abandon virtue. That is to say, listen to slander and spread it everywhere. This is something that morality rejects." It is not as good as seeing it with your ears; it is not as good as practicing it with your eyes, practicing it with your feet. It’s better to distinguish it with your hands.” This sentence means that things need to be done and felt in order to understand the cause of things, to feel with the heart, and to open eyes to distinguish things from wrong. This is true for people and things "Huang Rong's eyes were dark, she still had a three-point prejudice against Yang Guo back then, if she could open up her heart, this child would not be like that.When we meet again, he has transformed into a wild horse, but he can't control it if he wants to control it, so he can only let him run in the opposite direction.Fortunately, many years of training did not make him go astray. This is probably due to Fu'er, who never forgets, and the yearning in the heart has changed from the surprise at first sight to the attraction deep in the soul. The love is so deep and the fragrance is long.Thinking of this, she turned her head and glanced at her daughter, the dull girl looked gloomy, pouted her mouth in anger and shame, and sulked, unconsciously smiling.
"After a while, I understand. My aunt's education is that people should be honest with each other, and they should be more careful in doing things, and be cautious in words and deeds."
Zhu Ziliu, who sat on the sidelines and watched for a long time, finally saw the clue that Huang Rong was here to be his son-in-law. He held back his laughter and was happy to watch the fun.
"Bamboo in Yunmeng, gold in Tangxi. How do you understand it?" Huang Rong continued to ask him.
"Sima Guang once said: The bamboo of Yunmeng is the strength of the world; however, if you don't knead it or feather it, you can't make it strong. The gold of Tangxi is the benefit of the world; It cannot be strengthened by blows. Without craftsmanship, bamboo is still bamboo, which is unique in Ao; gold is still gold, buried deep in the soil. The same is true for personnel, but they are born with different talents, but they cannot be born with more things."
Huang Rong smiled and nodded, expressing her satisfaction with his answer, "The green bamboo has no intentions at all, and the festival is born of emptiness. Is it right?"
Yang Guo frowned, he was not good at reciting poems, he looked at Guo Fu helplessly, hoping that Fu'er could give some hints.
"Uncle Zhu, I haven't been to Daughter Mountain for a long time. I wonder if it's snowing yet? This green mountain is covered with snow, and it's not old yet." Knowing that Yang Guo doesn't know how to recite poems, but his mother still makes things difficult for him, Guo Fu is worried, but she can't help him. To answer, he had to hint to Yang Guo by asking Zhu Ziliu if there was snow in the mountains.
"In which year the snow in the mountains will disappear when the swallows come back. If you have time to see the daughter mountain in winter, it will be a different scene." Zhu Ziliu laughed, Xiao Fu'er became more and more clever, Know how to prompt her husband to answer questions.
Listening to their questions and answers, Yang Guo was already quick-witted, so he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I will meet Aunt Guo, the green hills are not old, and their heads are covered with snow and white."
"The honeysuckle flowers are blooming, and the fragrance is wafting for miles." Huang Rong glared at her daughter, "Don't interrupt me when I make a pair."
"Mother, I know, don't talk too much. Uncle Zhu and parents must be thirsty. I'm going to make tea." Guo Fu trotted out, and came back with four cups of tea in a short while, and served them to the elders.
She walked up to Yang Guo and handed the teacup, looking at him distressedly, "Brother Yang, you haven't had any water after dinner, you must be thirsty. The cup is filled with jade butterflies. Drinking four, five or six cups a day can nourish the lungs. Would you like to try it hot?"
Yang Guo looked at the tense Guo Fu, suddenly smiled, and had the next sentence in his mind, "Jade Butterfly Bo, drink four, five or six cups a day."
Huang Rong watched the two flirt, and snorted coldly, the exam is almost over.She looked at her daughter and Yang Guo, one was bright and charming, the other handsome and unrestrained, they were a perfect match.It's just that Yang Guo was born with a skin that attracts bees and butterflies. Although he was unintentional, he was afraid of hurting Fu'er. "Later, there is a proverb: Eat fish and only eat one side. Can you tell me what is the truth?"
"Aunt Guo, it is often said that the back of a fish is smelly, and you only eat one side of it. In fact, it is a warning to people not to be greedy. In ancient times, Cui Guang only took two pieces of silk with both hands. Guoer only had one hand, and he only held his wife for the rest of his life."
"Zhuangzi said: People don't regard good words as virtuous. How can a daughter's life's work be paid to someone who speaks slyly." Huang Rong heard what he meant, and borrowed allusions to express her heart.He didn't let go, but pressed on every step of the way, trying to see how capable Yang Guo was.
"Guo'er must know everything about Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo, and Fumei, and he can't stop talking. He dare not speak or have delusional thoughts."
Huang Rong smiled and didn't answer. She took a pen and wrote down the names of Fu'er and Xiang'er on two pieces of paper respectively, and then arranged the two girls' names vertically, with Guo Xiang at the front and Guo Fu at the back. "Guo'er, you and Fu'er had a relationship before, but later you provoked Xiang'er. The two daughters of the Guo family's boudoir, you come to propose marriage, which daughter do you think I should marry you? Do you choose the relationship or follow-up? "
"Mother, how can you..." Guo Fu listened to her mother's wishes, and burst into tears like pearls.
"Aunt Guo, I'm asking to marry Fumei!" Yang Guo was also anxious, he raised his eyebrows, "I only miss Fumei alone in my heart." Everywhere was in trouble, but in the end it was this result. Bitter, are you really forcing me to kidnap Fumei and never come back?
"Guoer, why are you in a hurry, I let you choose, just tell me before the election or after the election?" Huang Rong looked at Yang Guo unhurriedly.
"Rong'er, don't make things difficult for the child. You—" Guo Jing couldn't sit still at this moment, he really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Rong'er's gourd.Before he could finish speaking, Huang Rong held down his hand, signaling him not to worry.
Yang Guo looked at the two names on the table, Guo Xiang was in the front row, followed by Guo Xiang, he frowned in thought, thinking: Aunt Guo knew that I wanted to marry my sister Fu, this move was unexpected, I couldn't figure out what it was mean.
Suddenly his heart brightened, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he rushed forward to salute Guo Jing and Huang Rong, "Thank you for your success, my son-in-law."
Seeing Yang Guo bowing to his parents, Guo Fu stopped crying, and looked at him curiously, not caring about being shy, unable to figure out what happened for a while.
"Brother Jing, you are satisfied with having such a beautiful son-in-law and beautiful daughter. Let's get up later, Senior Brother Zhu has done a good job in Baoshan, let's discuss and book the date of marriage." Huang Rong looked at everyone with a smile, and hugged her daughter Come over, "Silly girl, why are you crying, mother can still bully her."
Guo Fu finally understood that her mother had agreed to the marriage. She blushed and buried her head in Huang Rong's arms with tears in her eyes.
"I don't understand. What's the matter with this last choice? The smart co-authors belong to your family." Zhu Ziliu thought for a long time but didn't understand what Huang Rong's last game meant.
"Guoer, tell Uncle Zhu." Huang Rong smiled and stroked her daughter's hair. Yang Guo performed very well today.
"Uncle Zhu, look at the names on the table. The front edge is Fumei, and the back is also Fumei. That is to say, I was Fumei before the election and I will be Fumei after the election. My mother-in-law hinted at the marriage."
"It's a pity that I came here to ask for a marriage. Others would have lost the battle. Chief Huang, you are really good. Your family's recruiting a son-in-law is comparable to the royal family marrying a princess." After listening to Yang Guo's explanation, Zhu Ziliu laughed.
"Guo'er, let me ask you, my Fu'er is inferior to you in terms of martial arts and intelligence, will you bully her in the future?" Huang Rong was still worried and asked Yang Guo.
"Rong'er is too worried. Fu'er's appearance and character are all top-notch, how can anyone bully her?" Guo Jing understood his wife's thoughts and laughed loudly.I thought, it would be good if Fuer didn't bully others.
"What my father-in-law said is that Fumei has a good appearance and good character. Mother-in-law can rest assured that Fumei is a person with great wisdom, while Guoer is just a little clever. Mother-in-law has seen hunters hunt? It is the hounds that catch the beasts, and the one who commands the hounds It's a hunter, Fumei is the hunter who commands me."
"What a clever mouth, it's no wonder that Fu'er has been coaxed to death. If you bully her in the future, I won't let you go lightly. Let's go, you discuss with your Uncle Guo the date of the wedding. Fu'er's dowry is Peach Blossom Island is her home, and it is also your grandfather's painstaking efforts for several years, and now I leave it to you to take care of it."
"There is one more thing that I haven't told my father-in-law and my mother-in-law. I bought the open space on the west side of the courtyard, and I want to build another courtyard." Yang Guo took out the blueprint of the house and presented it to Guo Jing.
"You kid is really caring. Now that you've seen it, let's start the work. If there's anything missing, tell the family." Guo Jing glanced at the blueprint, "Fu'er, go to the cashier to get some money. Meng Ge Sichuan was frustrated, and they won't be able to do it within half a year." Invasion again, just take advantage of this period of time to arrange the marriage between the two of you. Rong'er, look good."
"Brother Jing, this matter is up to you. You decide the date. The wedding dress, dowry and other things will take a month at the fastest to be ready. I will take care of the matter of notifying father and Master Ke." Huang Rong thought about the needs before marriage. Things to prepare, "There is one more thing, the two children have to bring their respective name cards to the government to register. Brother Liu is a private media, and the official media also needs to register. The two of you will do it tomorrow, don't forget. "
"That's when you get married in the first month, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. After you get married, go to Lin'an. After you all came back last year, I sent someone to inquire about that girl Lan, but there is no flaw. I didn't realize that Fu'er shouldn't be allowed to go to the place of fireworks, since we are married, I don't worry if I have a son with us." Guo Jing explained the matter to them with a smile, and the knot in his heart was finally untied. The ten-year long-cherished wish finally came true on the two children.
Guo Jing and Zhu Ziliu set a date, and Zhu Ziliu got up to leave.
"After a while, your temperament has changed a lot. I never thought you would take the initiative to ask Fuer to marry me when you refused the marriage, but now you are a man who can bend and stretch." There were only the four of them in the study, Huang Rong was thoughtful. Looking at Yang Guo, who used to look down upon everything, now humbles himself for Fu'er.
"Why bring up the past!" Guo Jing, who was originally relaxed, felt agitated when his wife asked him. The refusal of marriage many years ago has become a deadlock in everyone's hearts. Today, the love has come true, and it is better to avoid mentioning the past. .
"Mother, you have been taking the exam all night, why do you still want to poke everyone's sore spots?" Guo Fu, who had been sitting shyly with her head bowed, walked up to Yang Guo and held his hand without being shy when she heard her mother's question. , "I don't care about the past, as long as he treats me well now."
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, although what happened back then was an act of arrogance, it was actually because I was too inferior, and I was afraid that I would not be worthy of Fu'er. In addition, there is a kindness that I can't let go..." Yang Guo shook Guo Fu's hand tightly , signaling her not to worry, he pondered for a moment and continued, "Today's proposal to marry Fu'er is not considered flexible, but the love for Fu'er has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. The father-in-law and mother-in-law are deeply affectionate, and they should be the most understanding people. Now I only said three words to Fu'er, "I understand", "I understand", and "I know". In addition, there is an allusion of "Confucius passed through Pucheng". What is said in a difficult situation should not be counted.”
"What a sharp tooth, I don't know what to say. I hope you can understand the heart of being a parent. Fu'er's love life is bumpy. Besides, this girl is simple-minded. I don't want her to be hurt again. You have feelings for her. I told you earlier." I know, but I’m not sure how deep it is, and now I’m relieved to hear what you said.” Huang Rong looked at the two children with a smile, “Fu’er, take care of this pair of crystal geese. Well, the pre-marriage time is short and there are many things to be busy tomorrow."
Guo Fu and his wife saluted their parents and watched them leave the study.The two looked at each other, Guo Fu's pretty face was shy and her cheeks were flushed, she lowered her head and said nothing, letting him hold her hands tightly. "Fu'er, thank you for taking me in with your heart. You are my lifelong dream." Yang Guo stared at the phoenix eyes affectionately, and after thousands of years of cultivation, he will finally be able to accompany me hand in hand.
She raised her head, her apricot eyes were like spring waves rippling in two clear pools, "Brother Yang is wrong, we take each other in for the rest of our lives. We used to say 'husband and wife love', but I think it's just that we are in love with each other. Nowadays, I really feel that the word "en" in the word "love" is used wonderfully. I give everything I have to the other party without complaint or regret. Such a great trust and devotion is not a momentary impulse but a lifetime of dedication. and
"Fu'er, the true love in the world is always doomed, and now it is guarded so that the clouds will open and the moon will shine." Yang Guo's starry eyes are like water, warmly touching her heart.
The gate of the Guo Mansion was wide open, and the old butler looked at the two returning home with wide-eyed smiles, "Miss, Mr. Yang, you are back. Master and Madam read and hang on every day."
"Uncle Wu wishes you New Year's greetings. I wish you all the best in all seasons." Guo Fu smiled and took out the plum blossom silver ingot and handed it to the housekeeper.
Yang Guo also took out the prepared 'spending money' and tipped the housekeeper.The old housekeeper had already sent someone to report to Mrs. Master, and the two happily entered the courtyard and walked towards the study hand in hand.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong cared about them for several months, when they heard that they had returned home, they rushed to the study to wait, they walked in side by side, they lived together for several months, Guo Fu was already used to being held by Yang Guo, she didn't feel anything wrong.Seeing their intimate behavior, Guo Jing and Huang Rong's expressions changed slightly, and their brows frowned.
Guo Fu saw the solemn faces of her parents, and suddenly realized that the intimate behavior between herself and Yang Guo was very inappropriate, she gently withdrew her hand, her cheeks were dizzy, and her expression twisted.The two kowtowed to Jing Rong and saluted.
"The red wedding bags are ready for the two of you. You have experienced a lot of things after going out for a few months. Sit down and talk about it." Huang Rong sent happy money to the two of them, and looked at her daughter's brows with a more mature look. shy.Looking at Yang Guo again, his face is handsome, with a little arrogance in his stability.Deep affection flows in the eyes of the two children, and every frown and smile is full of amorous feelings.She smiled knowingly, and looked at her husband calmly, and the two of them knew each other.
Guo Fu and Guo Fu sat down separately, and Yang Guo detailed the experience of several months, Guo Fu interrupted from time to time to add, the two cooperated tacitly.
Yang Guo talked from noon to evening, briefly and in detail about the experiences of several months, about the adventures with the ghost mother-in-law in Sichuan and the battle of Diaoyu City in detail, but he just skipped the incident of looking for Xiang'er and getting injured.
Listening to their adventure, Guo Jing and Huang Rong sometimes frowned and sighed, sometimes nodded with a smile, "You guys have gained a lot of wealth in your life after going out for several months this time. You have grown up and matured together, and you will do your best. Do things and accept the results calmly." Guo Jing was very pleased to feel the slight changes in the two children.
"Well, if I knew this was the case, I should let Fu'er go out to practice more. It's just that she didn't have any reassuring people to accompany her. You haven't taken care of rest when you come back, so go back to your room and have a rest, let's talk at dinner." Huang Rong smiled. Looking at the two of them, who had already hugged their daughter into their arms, they were both relieved and distressed.
"Mother, I'm not tired. Tonight, I will cook a few dishes for my mother and father to make up for the sin of being away from home for many days and not being able to serve the left and right." Guo Funi acted like a baby in her mother's arms.
Huang Rong scolded with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry today, silly girl, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, time will be long, we are still at this moment to please you, go and freshen up quickly. Just ask me and your father, Please take your time too."
Listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, Yang Guo was startled, Aunt Guo's quick mind was frightening.
Guo Fu didn't see her sister during dinner, so she felt suspicious, "Mother, where is Xiang'er?" She asked in a low voice.
"Xiang'er went out on the sixth day of the lunar new year. She said she wanted to roam around like grandpa. She thought it was the last time she went out to play and became addicted." Huang Rong said lightly, but she was extremely helpless in her heart. The younger daughter usually looks well-behaved, but in fact she is more stubborn than Fuer. Worse.
When Guo Fu heard the news about her sister, she kept silent and was depressed all night.
Nothing to say all night.In the early morning of the next day, Yang Guo mysteriously disappeared.
"Where have you been these three days?" Guo Fu opened the door and saw Yang Guo standing outside, looking at her with a smile.
"Miss me. I went out to do some errands. I left early the day before yesterday and didn't come to say goodbye to you. Why are you blocking the door? Why don't you invite me in." Son, don't let her worry if you don't say goodbye.
"This is my room, so I can't come in casually." Guo Fu came out of the room and closed the door behind her, "I didn't say anything when I went out, I was so anxious. Brother, is there something urgent? I'll wait for you in the pharmacy, you go quickly Get some rest and come back to me."
"No need to rest, I have something to tell you." He held her hand and led her to the medicine room.
The door of the medicine room closed behind them, Yang Guo turned around and hugged Guo Fu, "Fu'er, I miss you so much."
Guo Fu looked resentful, and pursed her round cherry lips, "Where are you going, don't say a word, I'm worried to death."
"Afraid that I will slip away? No, I will take you with me wherever I go, and I will not leave for a moment. I am going to buy the dowry, and I will propose marriage to Uncle Guo tonight." He chuckled and hugged her sideburns Mo, "Fu'er will definitely help me, and I feel uneasy. I really don't know how Aunt Guo will react."
Guo Fu looked up at him in surprise, "Yang Guo, what you said is true? So soon, who did you hire as a matchmaker? I thought you had to wait until after the first month."
"I ask Uncle Zhu to protect the media, Aunt Guo will not lose face."
"I advise you to go to sleep for a while, so you can be refreshed at night." Guo Fu sighed softly in his arms, "You can obey my mother whatever she says, but if you are not humble, give my mother face, and you have to fight for it. It's hard to grasp the speed." She frowned, worried.
"Well, I understand. Look, you are more worried than me now. If it doesn't work, I will kidnap you." Yang Guo lifted her delicate chin and kissed her deeply.
"That's not the case. Daddy will be happy if you ask Uncle Zhu to act as a matchmaker. Daddy will definitely agree when the ceremony is over. Go and rest for a while and refresh yourself."
"I haven't seen you for three days. I miss you. Holding you like this is the best rest." Thinking of the difficulties he will face at night, Yang Guo hugged her tightly to comfort his helpless and anxious heart.
"Brother Yang, are you so nervous? It wasn't like this the last time you proposed to marry me. What's the matter today?" Guo Fu wrapped her arms around his waist, her small face resting on the crescent of his neck, "What are you afraid of? You are so brave." She thought of him who was arrogant and rebellious when he was young.Infinite distressed in my heart, if my mother really set up a difficult situation for him today, there is really no one to help, I can only pin my hope on my father, I only hope that my father will say yes to Brother Yang soon.
After dinner, Yang Guo sent someone to carry four large boxes into Guo's study, and waited quietly for Uncle Guo and the others.He stood by the window, thinking about how to speak to avoid mentioning the past.
"It's been a great time! Is this the dowry gift you prepared?" Zhu Ziliu stepped into the study, tsk-tsk admiringly, "You can save the cost of postings and blind dates. The two of you already have a marriage contract. Have a glass of wine." Zhu Ziliu laughed loudly when he said that.
Yang Guo on the side shook his head and smiled wryly, "Uncle Zhu, please give me some good words today."
While they were talking, Guo Jing and Huang Rong entered the study room, followed by Guo Fu with a timid face. She was dressed in a brocade dress and a jade belt around her waist. She was peerless and charming in the candlelight and fireflies.
"Why is Senior Brother Zhu so happy?" Huang Rong glanced at the box in the room and Zhu and Yang, and smiled slightly. After exchanging greetings, everyone sat down.
"I'm here to congratulate you. I'm not happy. I've admired Fu'er for a long time. Today, I'm the god of marriage. I'm holding a phoenix and a lonely luan with a red rope, asking for a cup of wedding wine." Zhu Ziliu explained his intention to Guo Jing and his wife. .I thought to myself, Yang Guo is also very nervous, they are a couple, Guo Jing has long approved of this marriage, as the saying goes, 'there is no marriage without a matchmaker', today I just went for a walk, and gave the due courtesy to the two children Be thorough. "Guoer Zhensong Jinbai, Fuerlan loves Huihui, the two children are a perfect couple, Kuang Guo and Yang's ancestors have long been married, I think the red tape, blind dates, etc. can be saved. Najib, Please arrange it together today so that the children's marriage can be settled early."
Guo Jing was overjoyed, thinking that Yang Guo's affairs were safe, and the etiquette of proposing marriage was thoughtful, and he was about to agree, but Huang Rong said from the side: "Brother Zhu should have agreed to be the mediator, our husband and wife can trust the elder brother, and we have to give him face." Big Brother Zhu. It’s just about Fu’er’s lifelong happiness. Parents should be cautious, don’t you think that’s the reason?” She glanced at Yang Guo who was standing aside, her expression was tense and cautious, and she changed from her previous arrogance and free-spiritedness .I sneered in my heart, good Yang Guo, you have such a thoughtful mind, please ask Brother Zhu to protect the matchmaker, even if I want to make things difficult for you, I still have to see Zhu Ziliu's kindness.When you refused to marry back then, you were absolutely arrogant, and then you came to propose after a few years. Is my Huang Rong's daughter what you want?If it weren't for the sake of saving Fuer's life several times over the years, I would definitely not agree.If I don't let you suffer a little bit today, how can I make up for the pain you hurt my Fu'er.
Zhu Ziliu was originally a person with exquisite thoughts, when he heard what Huang Rong said, he smiled wryly in his heart, Huang Rong must have something in his heart, no wonder Yang Guo was so nervous.He smiled embarrassingly, "What Chief Huang said is very true. Marriage should be considered carefully. It's just that the two children are not young, so you and your husband should carefully consider it." He made a pun and smiled impatiently.Looking at Yang Guo and shaking his head slightly, he felt very sympathetic, this child offends no one but his prospective mother-in-law, he is pestering him today.
"Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo, Fumei's nature of raw jade and pure gold, and the appearance of Lilan Yuanzhi, my nephew is very envious. Fumei and I have a good relationship, respond to each other, and seek each other with the same spirit. I want to establish a good relationship Marriage between the two surnames, I hope that the two elders will become a bond of red silk." Yang Guo bit the bullet and wanted to accept Aunt Guo's move, only hoping that Uncle Guo would express his opinion.He turned around and opened the boxes one by one. "Prepare big tea and light gifts today to express my sincere feelings."
The first box contains three golds, gold bracelets, gold rings, and gold pendants.
The second box contains golden satin with large sleeves, red satin with large sleeves, gold skirt with yellow silk, long red satin skirt and pieces of satin of various colors.
The third box contains jewelry such as special bun with pearls and emeralds, round crown with emeralds and crowns, four-season crown flowers, and rings with emeralds and jewels.
The fourth box, scented tea fruit, reunion cakes, sheep wine, mountain tea and sea sand, etc.
Then Yang Guo took out a wooden box and put it in front of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, he saw that the wood of the box was warm and delicate, the lines were fine and delicate, the golden threads were shining, and it exuded a faint mellow fragrance.Guo Fu was shocked when she saw it, the box was made of precious golden nanmu and ebony.
Even though Huang Rong was well-informed, she was shocked. This wood is precious and rare, and it is very spiritual, and it can prolong life if placed indoors.
Yang Guo gently opened the box, and inside the box were two lifelike geese carved from jade crystal, lingering on each other. Put it in front of Guo Fu.
In addition, he took out red and green scripts depicting gold dragons and phoenixes, and presented them in Guo Jing's hands. '
Huang Rong's ink pupils narrowed slightly, her handsome face was unusually calm, she thought to herself: For such a big effort, he has already prepared all the three rites and six appointments.This time is completely different from the last marriage proposal, this kid Yang Guo came prepared, he figured out my thoughts so accurately, he didn't give me a reason to refuse.Her thoughts turned quickly, she glanced at Fu'er standing by her side, and cursed in her heart: The silly girl helped him like this, the brat has a lot of tricks, what should he do if he bullies you in the future.
Guo Fu's almond-eyed eyes widened in amazement as she looked at the successively opened boxes, and was moved in her heart: those who fall in love are truly moved.I am always afraid that I will be wronged, and today I am hired with a generous gift. Brother Yang has put a lot of thought into it, and there is a clear spring in his eyes.She sneaked a glance at her parents, her father smiled openly and she should have no objection, but her mother's expression was so serious that people couldn't guess her thoughts, she could only hope that she would be merciful because of Yang Guo's hard work.
"After a while, don't be so extravagant, originally—" Guo Jing was also very surprised, the child showed his respect with such care.Before he could finish speaking, Huang Rong interrupted him coldly, "Guoer, what is this? What kind of people do you think me and your Uncle Guo are! We are marrying our daughters, not selling them."
"Fumei's appearance is like the brilliance of the sun and the moon, and there is nothing in the world to match her. The ordinary people must follow the common etiquette, and dare not neglect it. I hope that uncles and aunts will not dislike her."
"Guoer, have you ever heard of an ancient allusion? It's almost the same thing as splashing water in front of a horse. 'If it's said that it's more harmonious, it's hard to get it back.'"
Yang Guo knelt on the ground, dripping with cold sweat, "In ancient times, there was also a case of reunion after a broken mirror, and the ritual of reuniting after a lost joy. Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo's sinking boat can still make up for it. Please give my nephew a chance to reform."
"If you see good things, you will move, and if you have mistakes, you will change them. The mistakes have been changed now, and Ke Yiye has done things well. But what happened today has nothing to do with reforming mistakes. Do you know the saying that 'a good horse never turns back Grass'." Huang Rong smiled faintly, but did not let go.She turned to look at her husband with a soft expression.
Guo Jing looked at his wife's tender eyes, recalled his marriage proposal on Peach Blossom Island, and suddenly understood her good intentions.
"Aunt Guo has already accepted me as a prodigal son, and also claimed that it is not too late for my nephew to turn around." Yang Guo secretly complained, but he couldn't help it. Cleverly avoid the word "turn back grass".
Huang Rong snorted coldly in her heart, and she opened her mouth sharply, "This matter of marriage and fate, and the fate of karma, must never be violated."
Yang Guo took out a post about Na Cai's name from his pocket, knelt down and presented it in front of Jing Rong, "Guo Er dared to ask Fu Mei to marry her without the consent of Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo, please forgive me." Chilling, but fortunately I came prepared, Aunt Guo is pressing every sentence today, making things difficult everywhere.No wonder Fuer reminded me many times.
Huang Rong opened the post and asked for their names. The post clearly stated Guo'er and Fu'er's birth dates, and also stated the two people's fortunes: "The fate of each other is related to each other, the heaven and the earth are in harmony, the man's life is yang, and the woman's life is yin. Fate and fate are compatible, genus is compatible, heavenly stems and earthly branches are also compatible, not afraid of evil spirits in the pillars, not afraid of overcoming or resisting against overcoming, the two trees grow together, the foundation is bound to be solid, and they will grow old together. After reading the post, Huang Rong handed the asking name post to Guo Jing, thinking: Yang Guo, you have done all your homework, but I underestimated you. "Brother Jing, take a look. Since Guo'er has taken a lot of thought, we can't just say no. How about this? I'll test you. If you answer well, we will marry you. If you don't answer well, we'll let it go. After all, Fu My son is the treasure in the palm of my hand and your Uncle Guo, the matter of choosing a son-in-law should not be hasty, do you think so?"
Yang Guo frowned, bowed his head and knelt there, his thoughts were not good, Aunt Guo only said 'good answer' but not 'right answer', how can this 'good' be 'good'. "Guoer knows that Fumei's character is precious, and if I want to climb high, my uncle and aunt have to seriously consider it."
"Okay, listen up." Huang Rong smiled confidently, Yang Guo, Yang Guo, Fu'er promised you back then, you don't want it, don't blame me for making things difficult for you today.
"I ask you, does the sky have a head?"
"Heaven has a head. In the West, it is said in the Book of Songs that 'it favors the west'."
"Let me ask you again, does the sky have ears?"
"Yes, the sky lives in a high place and can hear the voices from the low place. It is said in the "Book of Songs" that 'the sound of cranes and nine highs is heard in the sky'."
"Do you have feet that day?"
"Yes, it is written in the "Book of Songs": 'The sky is difficult'. If there are no feet, how can there be steps?"
"Does heaven have a surname?"
"There is a surname, and the surname is Zhao."
"How do you know the surname is Zhao?"
"I learned that the surname of Emperor Song is Zhao."
The two asked and answered, and the other three were dumbfounded.Guo Fu's hanging heart relaxed, and she thought in her heart: It's so dangerous, thanks to Brother Yang's quick response and talent.Niang asked such a tricky question that most people can't answer it.
"You have passed this test, and I will ask you about military affairs." Huang Rong didn't change her face, but she admired her in her heart. This kid has a quick mind, and it hasn't been wasted for more than ten years.
Guo Fu, who had just relaxed, heard her mother's words, her almond-shaped eyes widened in shock, her heart pounding, why did she still have to test him?Mother is determined to make things difficult for him today.Her palms were sweating, and she regretted it in her heart. If she had known this before, she should not have refused when he proposed marriage for the first time.In today's situation, how can mother be willing to give up.
"Let me ask you, in the Warring States Period, what is it about Bai Qi, Wu'an Lord, who is superior to Sun Wuzi in terms of combat thinking?"
Yang Guo pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized that Aunt Guo was blaming him for not taking advantage of the victory in the Battle of Diaoyu City to pursue Meng Ge, he suddenly felt as if someone had slapped his cheeks, cold sweat rolled down his spine, and replied in a low voice: "Aunt Guo taught me a lesson. Yes, Guo Er knew his mistake. Bai Qi's "anticipating the enemy's changes, surprises are endless." He advocated fighting annihilation and chasing wars, and was good at field offensives. Wars must be annihilated. This feature is better than Sun Tzu's "Careful War Theory". Don't chase after poor bandits proposed by Sun Wu."
"Hmph, you are quite clever. There is no friendship on the battlefield, only opponents and enemies. You have a delicate relationship with him. If you are in danger and he lets you go, it is considered friendship. Do you understand the subtlety of human affairs? Ji Tongxiang and Zhuge Liang, it's just a courtesy greeting, the two are still at odds. But let me tell you a word, a hero must learn to turn his face when it is time to turn his face, regardless of public and private, how to make a big deal!" Huang Rong raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression was stern, " This question is not counted, but the answer is correct but not done correctly.”
"Thank you for your aunt's humble words and righteous teachings, I will keep it in my heart."
"Mother, why didn't you do the math when you got the answer right?" Guo Fu protested softly, shaking Huang Rong's shoulder in disbelief, looking at Yang Guo who was kneeling there, she felt a dull pain in her heart. Just answer one question.
Yang Guo listened to Guo Fu pleading for him, and looked at her softly. The two eyes met and looked at each other affectionately. His eyes were firm and gentle, and his tender eyes carried a comforting smile. Guo Fu, he shook his head slightly at her, signaling to her that he was fine, and no matter how hard it was, he would never give up on her.
"Hmph, if you make a mistake, you should count it as a mistake. I said that if you don't count, you are being merciful." Huang Rong calmly interrupted the two people's affectionate gaze, and sighed in her heart. Be nice to people.Yang Guo has been in love with this child since he was a child, if you don't frustrate him for you today, how can you rest assured that you will entrust the rest of your life to him. "After a while, do you understand the classics? Listen carefully to the topic: There is a student with good qualifications. A "Mencius" has been written for three days, and the number of words per day has doubled. How much do you read every day?"
As soon as this question came up, Yang Guo's cheeks were hot, and he was extremely embarrassed. The question was not difficult to calculate, but he didn't know how many words there were in "Mencius".Don't know how to figure out the answer.
Guo Fu saw that he was embarrassed, she coughed lightly, attracted Yang Guo's attention, and calmly compared five numbers with her fingers, 3, 4, 6, 8, 5.
Yang Guo smiled when he saw the five numbers hinted by Fu'er. "Mencius" has a total of 34685 characters. He pondered for a moment, "Aunt Guo, I figured it out. I read 19820 characters on the first day and 9910 on the second day." words, read 4955 words on the third day.”
Huang Rong smiled slightly and said that he got the answer right, thinking that this kid is really quick at mental calculations, "You are really quick at calculations, this is over. I'll ask some practical questions next."
Guo Fu, who was finally standing by the side, couldn't bear it any longer. She twitched her mouth, "Mother, how many questions are there? How can there be such a test? It's not an imperial examination. Why don't you go to the imperial list to recruit a champion?" " As soon as she said the words, she felt that something was wrong, she was ashamed and annoyed for a moment, she stomped her feet and ran out.
"Fu'er, stop, how can you talk to your mother like that. Come back to me, don't leave!" Guo Jing sat there looking at his daughter with piercing eyes, his expression was not angry but mighty.
Seeing her father getting angry, Guo Fu didn't dare to speak, so she came back and stood aside, her cheeks flushed, and she turned her face away in shame.
"There is a story in "Dongpo Jushi Ai Zi Miscellaneous Stories", a man named Mao Kong saw Ai Zi returned from Chu State to Qi State, and said to him: There is a duck that can lay hundreds of eggs at a time; a few days ago A piece of meat thirty feet long and ten feet wide fell from the sky. Aizi didn't believe it, so he asked him: Have you seen that duck? Where did the piece of meat fall? Mao Kong replied: I haven't seen it with my own eyes. , I heard it from others. Guoer, what is the point of this?" Huang Rong continued to ask Yang Guo, not caring about her daughter's protest.
The more Yang Guo listened, the more embarrassed he became, remembering that he had misunderstood Uncle Guo back then, his palms were soaked in sweat, his face showed shame, and he replied softly: "This means that you can't listen to and believe in pretentious things. Hearing is delusion, seeing is deception. Reality."
"The Master said: Listen to the way and talk about it, and abandon virtue. That is to say, listen to slander and spread it everywhere. This is something that morality rejects." It is not as good as seeing it with your ears; it is not as good as practicing it with your eyes, practicing it with your feet. It’s better to distinguish it with your hands.” This sentence means that things need to be done and felt in order to understand the cause of things, to feel with the heart, and to open eyes to distinguish things from wrong. This is true for people and things "Huang Rong's eyes were dark, she still had a three-point prejudice against Yang Guo back then, if she could open up her heart, this child would not be like that.When we meet again, he has transformed into a wild horse, but he can't control it if he wants to control it, so he can only let him run in the opposite direction.Fortunately, many years of training did not make him go astray. This is probably due to Fu'er, who never forgets, and the yearning in the heart has changed from the surprise at first sight to the attraction deep in the soul. The love is so deep and the fragrance is long.Thinking of this, she turned her head and glanced at her daughter, the dull girl looked gloomy, pouted her mouth in anger and shame, and sulked, unconsciously smiling.
"After a while, I understand. My aunt's education is that people should be honest with each other, and they should be more careful in doing things, and be cautious in words and deeds."
Zhu Ziliu, who sat on the sidelines and watched for a long time, finally saw the clue that Huang Rong was here to be his son-in-law. He held back his laughter and was happy to watch the fun.
"Bamboo in Yunmeng, gold in Tangxi. How do you understand it?" Huang Rong continued to ask him.
"Sima Guang once said: The bamboo of Yunmeng is the strength of the world; however, if you don't knead it or feather it, you can't make it strong. The gold of Tangxi is the benefit of the world; It cannot be strengthened by blows. Without craftsmanship, bamboo is still bamboo, which is unique in Ao; gold is still gold, buried deep in the soil. The same is true for personnel, but they are born with different talents, but they cannot be born with more things."
Huang Rong smiled and nodded, expressing her satisfaction with his answer, "The green bamboo has no intentions at all, and the festival is born of emptiness. Is it right?"
Yang Guo frowned, he was not good at reciting poems, he looked at Guo Fu helplessly, hoping that Fu'er could give some hints.
"Uncle Zhu, I haven't been to Daughter Mountain for a long time. I wonder if it's snowing yet? This green mountain is covered with snow, and it's not old yet." Knowing that Yang Guo doesn't know how to recite poems, but his mother still makes things difficult for him, Guo Fu is worried, but she can't help him. To answer, he had to hint to Yang Guo by asking Zhu Ziliu if there was snow in the mountains.
"In which year the snow in the mountains will disappear when the swallows come back. If you have time to see the daughter mountain in winter, it will be a different scene." Zhu Ziliu laughed, Xiao Fu'er became more and more clever, Know how to prompt her husband to answer questions.
Listening to their questions and answers, Yang Guo was already quick-witted, so he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I will meet Aunt Guo, the green hills are not old, and their heads are covered with snow and white."
"The honeysuckle flowers are blooming, and the fragrance is wafting for miles." Huang Rong glared at her daughter, "Don't interrupt me when I make a pair."
"Mother, I know, don't talk too much. Uncle Zhu and parents must be thirsty. I'm going to make tea." Guo Fu trotted out, and came back with four cups of tea in a short while, and served them to the elders.
She walked up to Yang Guo and handed the teacup, looking at him distressedly, "Brother Yang, you haven't had any water after dinner, you must be thirsty. The cup is filled with jade butterflies. Drinking four, five or six cups a day can nourish the lungs. Would you like to try it hot?"
Yang Guo looked at the tense Guo Fu, suddenly smiled, and had the next sentence in his mind, "Jade Butterfly Bo, drink four, five or six cups a day."
Huang Rong watched the two flirt, and snorted coldly, the exam is almost over.She looked at her daughter and Yang Guo, one was bright and charming, the other handsome and unrestrained, they were a perfect match.It's just that Yang Guo was born with a skin that attracts bees and butterflies. Although he was unintentional, he was afraid of hurting Fu'er. "Later, there is a proverb: Eat fish and only eat one side. Can you tell me what is the truth?"
"Aunt Guo, it is often said that the back of a fish is smelly, and you only eat one side of it. In fact, it is a warning to people not to be greedy. In ancient times, Cui Guang only took two pieces of silk with both hands. Guoer only had one hand, and he only held his wife for the rest of his life."
"Zhuangzi said: People don't regard good words as virtuous. How can a daughter's life's work be paid to someone who speaks slyly." Huang Rong heard what he meant, and borrowed allusions to express her heart.He didn't let go, but pressed on every step of the way, trying to see how capable Yang Guo was.
"Guo'er must know everything about Uncle Guo, Aunt Guo, and Fumei, and he can't stop talking. He dare not speak or have delusional thoughts."
Huang Rong smiled and didn't answer. She took a pen and wrote down the names of Fu'er and Xiang'er on two pieces of paper respectively, and then arranged the two girls' names vertically, with Guo Xiang at the front and Guo Fu at the back. "Guo'er, you and Fu'er had a relationship before, but later you provoked Xiang'er. The two daughters of the Guo family's boudoir, you come to propose marriage, which daughter do you think I should marry you? Do you choose the relationship or follow-up? "
"Mother, how can you..." Guo Fu listened to her mother's wishes, and burst into tears like pearls.
"Aunt Guo, I'm asking to marry Fumei!" Yang Guo was also anxious, he raised his eyebrows, "I only miss Fumei alone in my heart." Everywhere was in trouble, but in the end it was this result. Bitter, are you really forcing me to kidnap Fumei and never come back?
"Guoer, why are you in a hurry, I let you choose, just tell me before the election or after the election?" Huang Rong looked at Yang Guo unhurriedly.
"Rong'er, don't make things difficult for the child. You—" Guo Jing couldn't sit still at this moment, he really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Rong'er's gourd.Before he could finish speaking, Huang Rong held down his hand, signaling him not to worry.
Yang Guo looked at the two names on the table, Guo Xiang was in the front row, followed by Guo Xiang, he frowned in thought, thinking: Aunt Guo knew that I wanted to marry my sister Fu, this move was unexpected, I couldn't figure out what it was mean.
Suddenly his heart brightened, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he rushed forward to salute Guo Jing and Huang Rong, "Thank you for your success, my son-in-law."
Seeing Yang Guo bowing to his parents, Guo Fu stopped crying, and looked at him curiously, not caring about being shy, unable to figure out what happened for a while.
"Brother Jing, you are satisfied with having such a beautiful son-in-law and beautiful daughter. Let's get up later, Senior Brother Zhu has done a good job in Baoshan, let's discuss and book the date of marriage." Huang Rong looked at everyone with a smile, and hugged her daughter Come over, "Silly girl, why are you crying, mother can still bully her."
Guo Fu finally understood that her mother had agreed to the marriage. She blushed and buried her head in Huang Rong's arms with tears in her eyes.
"I don't understand. What's the matter with this last choice? The smart co-authors belong to your family." Zhu Ziliu thought for a long time but didn't understand what Huang Rong's last game meant.
"Guoer, tell Uncle Zhu." Huang Rong smiled and stroked her daughter's hair. Yang Guo performed very well today.
"Uncle Zhu, look at the names on the table. The front edge is Fumei, and the back is also Fumei. That is to say, I was Fumei before the election and I will be Fumei after the election. My mother-in-law hinted at the marriage."
"It's a pity that I came here to ask for a marriage. Others would have lost the battle. Chief Huang, you are really good. Your family's recruiting a son-in-law is comparable to the royal family marrying a princess." After listening to Yang Guo's explanation, Zhu Ziliu laughed.
"Guo'er, let me ask you, my Fu'er is inferior to you in terms of martial arts and intelligence, will you bully her in the future?" Huang Rong was still worried and asked Yang Guo.
"Rong'er is too worried. Fu'er's appearance and character are all top-notch, how can anyone bully her?" Guo Jing understood his wife's thoughts and laughed loudly.I thought, it would be good if Fuer didn't bully others.
"What my father-in-law said is that Fumei has a good appearance and good character. Mother-in-law can rest assured that Fumei is a person with great wisdom, while Guoer is just a little clever. Mother-in-law has seen hunters hunt? It is the hounds that catch the beasts, and the one who commands the hounds It's a hunter, Fumei is the hunter who commands me."
"What a clever mouth, it's no wonder that Fu'er has been coaxed to death. If you bully her in the future, I won't let you go lightly. Let's go, you discuss with your Uncle Guo the date of the wedding. Fu'er's dowry is Peach Blossom Island is her home, and it is also your grandfather's painstaking efforts for several years, and now I leave it to you to take care of it."
"There is one more thing that I haven't told my father-in-law and my mother-in-law. I bought the open space on the west side of the courtyard, and I want to build another courtyard." Yang Guo took out the blueprint of the house and presented it to Guo Jing.
"You kid is really caring. Now that you've seen it, let's start the work. If there's anything missing, tell the family." Guo Jing glanced at the blueprint, "Fu'er, go to the cashier to get some money. Meng Ge Sichuan was frustrated, and they won't be able to do it within half a year." Invasion again, just take advantage of this period of time to arrange the marriage between the two of you. Rong'er, look good."
"Brother Jing, this matter is up to you. You decide the date. The wedding dress, dowry and other things will take a month at the fastest to be ready. I will take care of the matter of notifying father and Master Ke." Huang Rong thought about the needs before marriage. Things to prepare, "There is one more thing, the two children have to bring their respective name cards to the government to register. Brother Liu is a private media, and the official media also needs to register. The two of you will do it tomorrow, don't forget. "
"That's when you get married in the first month, when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. After you get married, go to Lin'an. After you all came back last year, I sent someone to inquire about that girl Lan, but there is no flaw. I didn't realize that Fu'er shouldn't be allowed to go to the place of fireworks, since we are married, I don't worry if I have a son with us." Guo Jing explained the matter to them with a smile, and the knot in his heart was finally untied. The ten-year long-cherished wish finally came true on the two children.
Guo Jing and Zhu Ziliu set a date, and Zhu Ziliu got up to leave.
"After a while, your temperament has changed a lot. I never thought you would take the initiative to ask Fuer to marry me when you refused the marriage, but now you are a man who can bend and stretch." There were only the four of them in the study, Huang Rong was thoughtful. Looking at Yang Guo, who used to look down upon everything, now humbles himself for Fu'er.
"Why bring up the past!" Guo Jing, who was originally relaxed, felt agitated when his wife asked him. The refusal of marriage many years ago has become a deadlock in everyone's hearts. Today, the love has come true, and it is better to avoid mentioning the past. .
"Mother, you have been taking the exam all night, why do you still want to poke everyone's sore spots?" Guo Fu, who had been sitting shyly with her head bowed, walked up to Yang Guo and held his hand without being shy when she heard her mother's question. , "I don't care about the past, as long as he treats me well now."
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, although what happened back then was an act of arrogance, it was actually because I was too inferior, and I was afraid that I would not be worthy of Fu'er. In addition, there is a kindness that I can't let go..." Yang Guo shook Guo Fu's hand tightly , signaling her not to worry, he pondered for a moment and continued, "Today's proposal to marry Fu'er is not considered flexible, but the love for Fu'er has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. The father-in-law and mother-in-law are deeply affectionate, and they should be the most understanding people. Now I only said three words to Fu'er, "I understand", "I understand", and "I know". In addition, there is an allusion of "Confucius passed through Pucheng". What is said in a difficult situation should not be counted.”
"What a sharp tooth, I don't know what to say. I hope you can understand the heart of being a parent. Fu'er's love life is bumpy. Besides, this girl is simple-minded. I don't want her to be hurt again. You have feelings for her. I told you earlier." I know, but I’m not sure how deep it is, and now I’m relieved to hear what you said.” Huang Rong looked at the two children with a smile, “Fu’er, take care of this pair of crystal geese. Well, the pre-marriage time is short and there are many things to be busy tomorrow."
Guo Fu and his wife saluted their parents and watched them leave the study.The two looked at each other, Guo Fu's pretty face was shy and her cheeks were flushed, she lowered her head and said nothing, letting him hold her hands tightly. "Fu'er, thank you for taking me in with your heart. You are my lifelong dream." Yang Guo stared at the phoenix eyes affectionately, and after thousands of years of cultivation, he will finally be able to accompany me hand in hand.
She raised her head, her apricot eyes were like spring waves rippling in two clear pools, "Brother Yang is wrong, we take each other in for the rest of our lives. We used to say 'husband and wife love', but I think it's just that we are in love with each other. Nowadays, I really feel that the word "en" in the word "love" is used wonderfully. I give everything I have to the other party without complaint or regret. Such a great trust and devotion is not a momentary impulse but a lifetime of dedication. and
