Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

When I woke up the next day, it was already daylight.With drowsy eyes, I vaguely saw a puppet doll who looked like Kong Ming standing sideways in front of the bed, reflecting the sunlight, with clear outlines, and the years were peaceful.

My mind is still a little confused, the night talk last night gradually came to my mind, and I don't feel a little bit in a trance.Kong Ming said that Huang Yueying has already found a good son-in-law, who will marry after February.I have a good relationship with the Huang family, so I need to prepare a big gift to congratulate...

Da Hong's wedding card jumped into my eyes, but I couldn't hear what was behind it, only the four big characters "Huang's respectful invitation" on the card were dazzling.

"How is it possible..." I murmured.The candlelight in the room is flickering, drawing two long and narrow shadows on the wall, one sitting and one standing, the light and shadow are mottled, giving people the illusion of being in a dream.

"Why is it impossible?" Kong Ming said in a meaningful tone, "Miss Huang specially said that she has known you for several years and is quite close, so she strongly invites you to the wedding banquet."

Suddenly, I was a little bit ashamed of being prying into my mind, and hated Kong Ming for pretending to be ignorant.He was so clever that it was impossible not to notice my wavering feelings.But he announced such a news just before I made up my mind to push him out of the door. He didn't express his position or explain it. .

But the joy in my heart is so real.Kong Ming stood close, but the closest women in this world would count on two fingers.Besides me, that is Huang Yueying.

Now that Huang Yueying is the first to make a marriage contract, does that mean...

No.

There are three thousand weak waters in the world, but there are tens of thousands of women who can become Zhuge's wife.If he really has the heart, he shouldn't let me struggle with unrequited love.If I hadn't understood his character, and if there hadn't been the word "Gao Jie" in the history books of later generations as a footnote to his character, I would almost suspect that he was a libertine who played with flowers and emotions, and regarded the infatuation of others as a toy for profanity .

The questioning words in my mouth were almost blurted out, but I finally swallowed them with gritted teeth.Is this interesting?He already knows what you want, but he pretended to turn a blind eye, didn't he already indirectly express his attitude?

Why bring shame on yourself.

Drinking to drown my worries, last night, it took me nine years and two tigers to get myself drunk, and I drove Kong Ming out of the door with the help of drunkenness, and then wept bitterly at the door: "Why do you still want to provoke me, don't come again Mess with me, I don't want to see you again..."

Under the influence of alcohol, the impression has become very blurred, only vaguely remembering the anxious knock on the door from behind the door, and the hazy apology.

In the dream, someone seemed to say that they liked me, but I must have been drunk and out of my mind.

A few days later, news came that Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Miannan, married his beloved daughter Yue Yingxu to Cai Xuan, the son of his wife and younger brother Cai Mao, and his aunt as a relative.Kong Ming visited the wine shop several times, but after the reunion dinner, He Dacheng and Ah Xiang had already returned to the wine shop to work.I hid in the room to avoid seeing it, and struggled with the silk thread with all my energy, and finally embroidered a barely noticeable red handkerchief before the wedding as a gift.

"Look at what is embroidered here, mountain?" The lady in charge picked up the veil, and couldn't help but laugh: "It's so fresh! I've seen others give mandarin ducks, Tong Xitu, Bing Dilian, and Shan Jing'er for marriage. , it’s really a big girl getting on the sedan chair—it’s the first time I’ve seen you!”

I gritted my teeth: "Isn't this mountain embroidery relatively simple?" I don't work on my limbs. After staying in the Three Kingdoms for so many years, I can learn how to stitch the stitches on the patches. The aborigines are as ingenious as they are, so it would be easier to just kill me.These mountain peaks, which the shopkeeper's wife despises, are the result of Axiang's careful teaching for a month.

"The mountain is neither good-looking nor suitable for the scene, neither fish nor fowl, how can you give it away?" The shopkeeper lady returned the handkerchief to me, hating iron for steel, "You are a very smart girl, how can you be so untalented when it comes to women? Now that you know your hands are clumsy, isn’t it a good idea to go to the market to buy some interesting things? No matter how bad it is, making embroidered shoes and cutting a small jacket or something is more decent than a handkerchief.”

"Making handkerchiefs is already the limit, what else can I do?" Besides, how can I have spare money to buy gifts?Years ago, He Dacheng's mother was seriously ill, so I lent him all the remaining money for emergency.Although Aunt He's condition has stabilized now, she has to wait until the Year of the Monkey to pay back the money with He Dacheng's meager salary.For things like gift-giving, if you don’t have money, you don’t have enough confidence. Compared with the dragon and phoenix pendant and lotus seed jade prepared by others, my gift is simply shabby.Huang Yueying knows my financial situation, if she feels dissatisfied because of this, there is nothing I can do.However, subconsciously I believe that she is not such a person.

If Huang Yueying hated the poor and loved the rich, she would not have waited for Kong Ming for several years until the most precious time of a woman was wasted.

The lady in charge has nothing to do with me. Thinking of other people's daughters who have had their mothers by their side since they were young, and I am the only one who left home alone. , It’s too late to change the pattern temporarily. But marriage is auspicious, since you plan to send a mountain out of your own way, you must find a good excuse, otherwise the Cai family will ask the reason, and you will be ridiculous if you can’t answer it.”

This is not difficult.At any rate, I am familiar with three hundred Tang poems, and I can recite them even if I don’t know how to compose them. I just opened my mouth to congratulate the occasion: “Ms. Zhao, have you ever heard of “Shangxie”? There are two poems in it very well: ‘There is no tomb in the mountains. , the river is exhausted, the winter thunder is shaking, the summer is raining and snowing, the heaven and the earth are united, and I dare to say goodbye to you'"

"Hey, that's good. Those of you who have studied can speak." The shopkeeper's wife clapped her hands and praised, and then taught me to fold a handkerchief into the shape of a pulsatilla, which immediately raised the grade of the gift.At first glance, it seems to be a good shot.

A Xiang asked me secretly with a blushing face: "Nan Shuang, can you show me those poems about mountains?" Although the family background is not very good, Qiang has been a school boy for several years, and he is literate and polite.She thought that the other party was an elegant person, and she begged me to read and write these days, and wanted to learn how to be a sweet girl.

This is the best marriage that A Xiangniang can get after searching all the matchmakers in Jiuli Baxiang. A Xiang is naturally very satisfied in her heart. Even if she hears that her future mother-in-law has a weird temperament, it can't affect her good mood. : "My mother said that Mr. Lang has read books and passed them on to his children in the future. Maybe our family can also teach a scholar-bureaucrat."

She envisioned the future so beautifully that I really couldn't bear to tell her that whether the marriage is happy or not has never had much to do with whether the man is literate or not.Huang Yueying herself has read a lot of poetry and books, and the person she married is also quite talented, but the combination of the two of them was doomed from the very beginning to struggle after marriage.

In addition to the "Shangxie" in the Rao song, there is another more famous line about the mountain.

once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking.
