Chapter 48：

Speaking of this, Huangfuyi suddenly gasped, Yuan Shen silently poured a cup of hot water from the warm nest, stepped forward and knelt beside to serve his teacher and drink it. Huangfuyi let out a sigh of relief and continued: "Not only that, she is a little girl, and she has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of taking care of the son's bereaved family. The manor of the son's family has been occupied by the local bullies, and she is lonely and weak. The child's food and clothing expenses are all provided from the fiancee's various places. She waits for seven years."

Shao Shang murmured a few times, and held back his words. In my heart, I can't wait to be her.

"A lot of things will be inquired about this young man in the future. For a man, seven years are seven years of chasing dragons, ponds and tigers' dens in search of opportunities for revenge, but for a woman, it is nothing. The rest of the relatives blame, ask for anything, do everything possible to shelter the orphans and widows from the wind and rain, the daily trivialities and life, old age, sickness and death are all looking for her to make up her mind.”

Huangfuyi's eyes gleamed: "But that young master was too conceited at that time, he thought that his fiancee loved him very much, these are all things that should be due. It will take many years to experience the world. Later, the young master realized how much Bai's fiancée suffered for him, how much he suffered..."

Ling Budo, who has always been taciturn, suddenly spoke up at this time, saying: "Master, with all due respect, maybe that son shouldn't let his fiancee wait. God has a way, and he will never let a lover. Separation, if heaven has no way, people should follow the mandate of heaven.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked. If this was said by an old man who had experienced vicissitudes of life or a mediocre and incompetent person, it would not be surprising at all, but Ling Budo, a young and powerful minister who is omnipotent in the sky and the sea, would say such resigned words when he should be in high spirits. , it's really weird.

In the audience, only Shaoshang clapped and praised enthusiastically: "Lord Ling said it well!" In fact, she also thought so.

After waiting for decades, the one on the other side of the strait has married and had children, and has many children and grandchildren. Otherwise, I will be the official wife for one day, and I will give a young, noble and beautiful 'good sister' to sleep with your husband and beat your baby. The masters of the sauce tank have to pass on your unfortunate story through the ages, and "inspire" future women to continue to follow suit - although in Shao Shang's view, this story is more like a warning.

According to the ethical logic of less businessmen, man cannot compete with heaven. God told you to separate, so you can separate obediently, find your own family, and get married. There are also many happy people in the reorganized family. For example, Yu's father and Yu's mother, didn't they all have a good time when they remarried, and even everyone has become peaceful and optimistic. If everyone can think like this, there will be many fewer tragedies throughout the ages.

good good'.

But the rest of the people obviously heard that the girl's words came from the bottom of my heart. Huangfuyi shook her head with a wry smile, Ling Budo didn't know what to think, but she turned her head and chuckled lightly.

Yuan Shen then said: "Ms. Cheng, if Mr. Lou encounters this, will you wait for him or not?"

Shao Shang had already slapped this product forward and backward eighteen times in his heart, and knew that this product would not be good if he opened his mouth, thanks to her quick response, she pretended to smile: "Yuan Gongzi, Let me also ask you, if you encounter such a disaster, do you want others to wait for you?"

Yuan Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll ask you first."

Shao Shang glared: "If you don't say it, I won't say it!"

Seeing that the two of them were fighting with each other, Lou Yao carefully came to make peace with the old man and said, "Young businessman, I won't ask you to wait..."

"Don't talk for now!" Shao Shang gave Lou Yao a white look, then turned to the pair of master and apprentice above, and said word by word, "Since Young Master Yuan asked, I will answer. It's actually simple. If he waits for me, I will wait for him!"

Yuan Shen frowned: "What is this?!"

Shao Shang smiled sternly: "If he treats me wholeheartedly, even if his family is ruined, I am willing to wait for him." The big deal is that she can support the family, and the mother of President Xianyu will earn He is more than his father, isn't he also harmonious and loving.

"But if he makes excuses that it's not easy to go outside, what embarrassments and difficulties, and give me a romantic and happy life, I won't wait for half an hour!" After finishing this sentence , Shao Shang's eyes are directed towards Huangfu Yi.

Huangfu Yi looked at the girl's sharp and clear eyes, and her heart ached, as if she heard Sang's questioning.

He went on to say: "Before the family background was not lost, there were indeed many women who admired the son. If it is true, in terms of talent and family background, no one is inferior to the son's fiancée. But the son is faithful. I promised that I would always be cold to those women. When the catastrophe happened later, those floating flowers disappeared naturally. But... Well, that son's deceased father had a very good guard, and later he established his own business in the rivers and lakes. Some reputation. Because of the kindness of the son's deceased father, he volunteered to **** the son to the south. Who knows, unfortunately, he died on the way..."

Shao Shang narrowed his eyes and said, "Then the guard won't have a daughter?" Such an old-fashioned plot? !

Huangfu Yi nodded with a wry smile: "Exactly. He had only one daughter, who was young at that time, and was raised by relatives. Until a few years later, the tyrannical emperor was tyrannical, and he brought heroes from all over the world. The flag, where did the government office still arrest it. This young man remembered the guard's dying entrustment, and only then did he find the guard's daughter to give him a lot of money."

"She won't be abused at her relatives' house and suffer so much?" Shaoshang quickly made up his mind.

Huangfu Yi shook his head and laughed: "That's not true. That guard is also a prominent figure in the arena, and the orphan girl he left behind is also protected by someone. Later... Later..."

"The orphan girl must have fallen in love with the young man, all kinds of obsessive crushes, right?"

Yuan Shen said displeased: "Master, can you please not interrupt."

"Who told your master to hesitate, I'll go on for him." Shaoshang laughed mischievously.

Huangfu Yi waved her hand, indicating that Yuan Shenmo and Shaoshang would quarrel again, and continued: "Young Shang is right. But the orphan girl was not obsessed, just silently followed behind the son. Seeing that the guards around the son were not doing well in their daily life, he stepped forward to take care of one or two. But despite this, the son still kept his words to her. After two years, the Central Plains were already full of flames, and the emperor was too busy to take care of himself. The son can finally return to his hometown."

Shao Shang sneered in his heart, and said a 'no lie'. Isn't it 'don't accept, don't resist'?

"In the past seven years, the son has traveled all over the world, and has been a guest in the presence of many heroes of the world, and he has also achieved a lot of fame. The son thought, he can finally marry his fiancée. So He wrote back and said that on the birthday of the old father-in-law next month, he would enter the main entrance with a golden phoenix and red robe in his hand, and ask for the wedding date in front of the full house of guests! Who knows, who knows..."

Xiaoshang was fascinated by listening to it, and did not interrupt at this time.

Huangfuyi's voice trembled: "The orphan girl took poison and committed suicide on the day the son returned home!"

"She died?!" Shao Shang was shocked. This story is so cool.

Ling Budo said lightly, "Probably not dead."

Huangfu Yi sighed and said, "Because the maid came to report early and induced vomiting in time, the orphan girl did not die. But seeing her dying, the son remembered her tragically dead father, how could he ignore her. The son knew a famous doctor from outside the square, and he could only carry the orphan girl to find the doctor. The son made up his mind that he would repay the guard's love. After that, even if the orphan girl died in front of him, he would never again Ignore it. Hurry up and hurry up and take the orphan girl to the famous doctor on the mountain. This young man will go back to his hometown day and night, and the birthday banquet will be gone for many days."

"Young master knows that offending his fiancée is not easy, so he wants to make it clear to her, and he begged for a few days to open the door to meet each other. Who knows that when she opens her mouth, she wants to break off the marriage!" Huangfuyi's fingers trembled slightly , "At this time, relatives and guests all turned to persuade the fiancee to be lenient and reasonable, not to be too self-willed and stubborn, to miss this wonderful marriage, and to regret it later. But...but..."

Shao Shang said coldly: "The fiancée was able to hold back everyone and refused to break the marriage, and now she can go forward alone and insist on breaking the marriage."

Huangfu Yi nodded and said, "Young Master thinks, the fiancée is getting angry at this time, and it will be fine after a while. So he told everyone in the Yue family, first break off the marriage according to the fiancée's wishes, As long as she doesn't marry, he won't marry for a day. One day the fiancée changes her mind, and the son will marry him sincerely. Who knows...wait and wait, the son will wait for the news that his fiancée is going to marry someone else. The son will go crazy immediately. Ask your fiancée to find out."

Huangfuyi's face was full of pain: "But no matter how the son explained the matter of the orphan girl, he also explained that he also sent someone back to report the letter, but the messenger died in a military accident on the way, it was not intentional He left his fiancée to make a fool of himself at the birthday banquet. But all the fiancées turned a deaf ear and only asked the son whether he never cared about her, did he never know what she wanted?! Then, without waiting for the son to answer, he made a clear cut, and since then not see."

"Young master really doesn't understand, his fiancée can wait for him for seven years and endure so much hardship for him, and since he was a child he is magnanimous and understands righteousness. Be stubborn!" Huangfuyi held her gray head and burst into tears.

For a long time, the silent needle falling in the hall could be heard.

Lou Yao seemed to understand but did not understand after listening to this paragraph. Yuan Shen knew the inside story early, so he could only bow his head and sigh. Only Shao Shang was full of anger, and if he hadn't kept his mouth shut, he would have poured out a flood of insults.

Ling Budo caught a glimpse of the girl like a cauldron with a round mouth, and the steam was about to open the lid, so he preemptively said: "Master, Zisheng has asked a few times, I don't know if I can answer it. Word."

Huangfu Yi looked up with tears on her face: "Zisheng, but it's okay to say."

"The master said just now that the son is cold to those women who come to admire him. Zisheng asks, is the son caring and considerate to his fiancée?" Ling Budo asked slightly sideways.

Huangfu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Well...this young master has been calm and self-controlled since he was a child, and he has no such...this kind of diligence..."

Shao Shang couldn't help but said: "Is it a big difference when I treat others as cold as ice, and when my fiancée is lukewarm?" What women want is to be treated differently. To the outside women and wives the same, the ghosts are with you? !

Ling Budo couldn't help laughing, and continued to ask: "According to what the master said, this fiancee is a smart person. Although this son knows how to marry a wife and a virtuous man, he still secretly regrets the mediocre appearance of his fiancee. Master, guess if the fiancée has already noticed it?"

Huangfu Yi said anxiously: "I...she...that young master had this intention when he was young, but later, he was moved by his fiancée's deep affection and righteousness, and he no longer had such frivolous thoughts. ?!"

Shao Shang said angrily: "Then what the fiancée wants is the impression of the son? My uncle..." She held back her life and changed her mouth, "At that time, who would have known that the emperor would seek his own death so quickly, That fiancée waited all the time when there was little hope, showing how indifferent to fame and fortune. All she wanted was to hope that the person in her heart would also take her in her heart. Who would have met a **** who was both conceited and ruthless!"

Huangfu Yi was speechless.

Yuan Shen didn't stand up for his teacher this time, and looked sideways at the girl's blushing face, her big bright eyes shining brightly. He thought silently: If someone treats him like this, he will never be as lofty and indifferent as his teacher, he will treat her well.

Shao Shang held back his anger and asked, "The orphan girl has followed the son for two years, and there are many people who want to come to the village to know about it? Has the rumor spread to the son's father-in-law's house?"

Huangfu Yi supported Yuan Shen's arm, got up and said anxiously: "I know, I know. But the son has repeatedly sent letters to the clan to refute the rumors, saying that the orphan girl is not worth mentioning!"

Shao Shang sneered and said, "But that fiancee can't believe it!"

Huangfu Yi was struck by lightning. Cold sweat dripped from his wrinkled forehead, and he still defended himself: "In the son's heart, what if that orphan girl is not as good as his fiancée?

The young businessman is furious. misunderstanding? Men love to say these two words! "Master, you..." But she couldn't find a satisfactory rebuttal for a moment, so she couldn't swear.

Ling Budo got up slowly, walked to the huge lantern, and used a copper needle to ignite the light: "Master Huangfu, if this fiancee and the orphan girl are on the battlefield..." He shook Shaking his head, he felt that this example was inappropriate. What were the two women doing on the battlefield.

Shao Shang Miao understood what he meant, and quickly connected: "If the fiancee and the orphan girl both fall into the river, who will the son save first?"

Huangfu Yi wanted to answer immediately, but Ling Budo added: "If the fiancee knew a little bit of water, she would be able to float on water for a while, but the orphan girl can't swim at all. Who will you save first?"

After listening to this sentence, Huangfu Yi hesitated again: "This...this..." Ordinary people think, don't let those who can float on water persist for a while, and save those who have no water first.

Shao Shang felt that Ling Budo's knife was very good, and looked at him with admiration, Ling Budo looked away, but the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Yuan Shen saw the look of hardship on his teacher's face, and said, "Lord Ling, if it were you, who would you save first?"

Ling Budo said simply: "It is natural to save the fiancée first."

Huangfu Yi trembled and said, "Difficult, is it possible to just watch the orphan die..."

Shao Shang snorted coldly, if he were Uncle Pig Trotter, he would be 100% able to save his aunt! What kind of orphans and widows, even if they die, can't make my uncle feel more distressed than Sang's drinking more water from the river!

Although Lou Yao is young and reckless, but thinking about such a situation, he also expresses his opinion in a daze: "If it were me, I would also save the young businessman first."

Shao Shang was overjoyed, he turned his head and threw a big wink at him to show his approval.

Little Master Lou blushed, but he was very happy.

Ling Budo didn't look at the little children's brows and expressions, and continued to use a copper needle to poke the fire, saying: "That year, when General Wu conquered the tyrant king Chen, I was pressed behind by His Majesty and swept away, thinking to myself. I was idle, so I pretended to attack the convoy of the tyrant king hiding treasures. I didn't want the Chen family to be foolish, but when the killing was in full swing, 30% of the troops were used to rescue the property, and the Chen family's army was defeated like a mountain."

With the lights shining, Shao Shang only thought that his cheeks were as beautiful as jade.

"At that time I was still young, and I really didn't understand if I won any treasure if I won. But the tyrant of Chen's family who loves money like his life doesn't think so. For him, the city can be lost. Soldiers can die, but treasures can't be lost."

Ling Budoubi put his left hand on his back and smiled humbly, "Master, is my fiancée a person who can't have a little bit of misunderstanding? , the riverbed is high and low, and the depth of the water is unknown. If there are water and grass bound feet, the vortex will flow through, and the consequences will be disastrous. Has the son ever thought that the moment he goes to save the orphan girl, his fiancee may die. If the son really puts his fiancee free In my heart, how can there be any misunderstanding."

Yuan Shen couldn't help but open his eyes for his teacher and said, "The fiancee didn't fall into the river."

"The orphan girl didn't fall into the river either. She took the poison herself."

Ling Buzhu's tone was indifferent: "This class of people will die when they die. Then give the guard's step-child, and protect him from promotion and fortune in the future. Huangfu's master and apprentice were stunned to hear this simple and rude operation, while Lou Yao and Shaoshang tried their best to hold back their laughter.

Yuan Shen said: "I'm sorry for the guard who died tragically."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. In this world, how can everyone be right." Ling Budo finished turning the last light and put down the copper needle, "If I had known that the guard earlier To sacrifice one's life to protect each other is to exchange for marriage, that young man might as well find another high-ranking guest to **** him, and others may not be able to sacrifice their lives and forget their own death."

Shao Shang sneered: "My father is a military general, and in order to protect his commander in battle, many soldiers and soldiers were killed and wounded, and it was enough to take good care of the family and promote their children. All of them have daughters and sisters who want to marry my father!"

—This is the most annoying kind of death retribution theory. According to this kind of argument, those generals and marshals will marry someone else's sister for his death, and the attendant will marry someone else's daughter for his disability. I really don't know whether to repay the favor or enjoy the beauty! If you have a hundred thousand troops, you will have a waist all over!

Huangfu Yi was completely misfired. Yuan Shen supported his teacher and felt that half of his body was cold and trembling.

Lou Yao also followed the male **** and sang praises, sighing: "What the elder brother said is. That orphan girl just ignored the kindness of her parents in order to prevent the son from returning to his hometown. I don't love myself anymore."

Yuan Shen argued: "Perhaps it wasn't all about delaying it, but the orphan girl took poison when she knew that the son was going to get married."

Shao Shang complained loudly: "What matters is not the intention, but the result. The result is that she seeks a doctor but delays the son's return to his hometown, so she took the poison to prevent the son's return to his hometown!"

Yuan Shen sighed. Master, he tried his best.

"In the end, it would have been better if that son sent the orphan girl earlier..." Huangfu Yi sighed.

Ling Budo raised her slender eyebrows, "That orphan girl is just a clown, not worth mentioning." He suddenly said, "Ms. Cheng, if your uncle travels far away , there are rumors that he has another woman, your aunt will believe it."

Shao Shang said with a smile: "I will never believe it." He smiled again, "My aunt will find someone to rescue me quickly, for fear that my uncle, who is powerless, will be seen by the passing queen. , go back to the mountain!" As Father Cheng, Director Xiao also worried that the queen would be deceived by her husband.

Ling Budo couldn't help laughing. Huangfuyi was full of disappointment, but she knew that the girl was telling the truth.

Ling Budo turned and said, "The fiancee can neither believe that the young master has a heart for her despite his indifference, nor can he believe that the young master has no affection for the orphan girl. How do the two of you become husband and wife?! She agreed that she wanted to understand this, and then she decided to break off the marriage."

Huangfuyi murmured: "...but...but he really only has his fiancée in his heart!"

"Seven years of life and death, the sea of ​​suffering is endless, and the heart of the fiancee is unknown. But this young man can't make his fiancee believe in him. It shows that he is very conceited and reserved." Array, leaving no room for people at all.

"This fiancée spent seven years proving her love for the son, and she broke off the engagement in order to tell the son that although she looks ordinary, her heart should not be taken lightly."

Shao Shang thought that a woman as good as his aunt Sang had ever been bullied so much, so he couldn't help shedding tears.

Ling Budo looked at her and said softly, "Zisheng thinks that this fiancee is really a wise woman who can afford it. ."

Huangfu Yi slumped to the ground, covered his face with his sleeves, and did not speak again. Yuan Shen felt pity for his teacher in his heart, so he could only stay by the side silently.

Shao Shang was full of gratitude, and felt that it was not impossible for him to follow Lou Yao to admire the male **** in the future.

Ling Budo bowed to the upper seat and bowed his hands, and said, "Apologizing to the Master, Zi Sheng is arrogant."

Huangfu Yi sat on the ground and waved his sleeves weakly: "What is your sin, I have to thank Zisheng, the doubts that have been in my heart for many years are finally resolved today. It is the fault of the old man, it is the fault of the old man wrong…"

Over the years, although he has been full of apologies and gratitude to the Sang family, but in the middle of the night, it’s not that he never complained that the Sang family broke off the marriage just for that little thing. Thinking about it now, his fault was not that he missed Taigong Sang's birthday banquet, but that he had always been arrogant and self-sufficient from childhood to adulthood, and never repaid Sang's affection. After that, little by little every year, time was like sand, and youth was wasted, and finally all of Sang's enthusiasm was polished off.

The wine is cold and the feast is left, and the song ends.

Yuan Shen helped the drunken Huangfu Yi to go back, Ling Budoubt was about to say something, but Liang Qiuqi entered the hall from the side, and presented a black scroll with a solemn expression. Shang and Lou Yao left first.

In the early spring night, the cold was still strong. Fortunately, they drank some rice wine before, and the two slowly walked back to the house along the corridor without feeling cold.

"Nonsense." Shaoshang snorted lightly.

Lou Yao sighed again: "Speaking of which, if my aunt understood it earlier, she would not have suffered so much. Fortunately, your longing for your brother is not as good as that of your aunt. I'm afraid the pain will be even greater." Brother Zicheng is not like the master of Huangfu who will pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

Shao Shang sneered: "If my uncle breaks off the marriage sooner, I'm afraid it won't be my uncle's turn! This is God's will, God's will! Eh..." She was stunned, what, what, just now Lou Yao what are you talking about?

"When did I have an admiration for Master Ling?!" Shao Shang grabbed Lou Yao's sleeve, his eyes fierce. You can eat rice indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Even if she is a toad, she can't arbitrarily accuse her of wanting to eat swan meat.

Shao Shang swept his thoughts and asked in doubt, "Wang Ji said that I admired Eleven Lang?" Although she didn't know who Eleven Lang was.

"Brother, brother...is...the Eleven Lang?" Lou Yao was a little silly.

Shao Shang was stunned for a while, his expression seemed to have been slashed, and his mind was in a mess: "...Then why is he called Eleven Lang?"

"His Majesty has ten princes, the elder brother and Linghou father and son are indifferent, they have been raised by the emperor's side since he was a child. Eleventh son."

Shao Shang's face turned blue and white, and he felt that the sky was thundering and rumbling above his head.

For a while, I was glad that Lou Yao told her about it, otherwise it would be hard to fool the past by revealing the stuff in other places. I recalled all the things I had with Ling Budo these days, and I vaguely felt that it was not good.

"You don't know that your elder brother is Eleven?" Lou Yao wondered.

Shao Shang hurriedly pulled back his crazy thoughts and said with a smirk: "That, Ayao... If I say, since I made a marriage with you, I have completely forgotten about Eleven Lang. ,Do you believe it…"

"Of course I don't believe it!" Lou Yao blushed. He's not that stupid, is he? !

Shao Shang also felt that this excuse was too bad, so he let go of Lou Yao's sleeve and said helplessly: "Actually, there is one thing I have never been too embarrassed to say. I was locked in the house by her since I was a child and could not go out. I have no boudoir friends, and I don’t know the people of the family outside. During a banquet, the sisters talked about Shijirou’s various expressions, and they couldn’t be eager, ahem...you You know, if everyone likes you, you don't like it, it seems that you are different, so strange... In fact, I don't even know who Eleven is!" After saying this, she carefully looked at Lou Yao's expression, secretly thinking Hope this excuse works.

, I had to keep a few colorful roosters. In fact, what is the point of cockfighting? I can't see it at all."

Shao Shang breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that choosing to marry Lou Yao was right! Then she thought of another more troublesome thing.

From the first encounter at the Wanjia Martial Arts Field to the rescue at the Hunting House, she vaguely felt that Ling Budo treated her very politely, smiled so tenderly and beautifully, and spoke so politely and modestly. It is impossible to say that he also regards his various courtesies as a secret love.

Since Ling Budo is Shirou, then he must think that he is one of the secret lovers in the group, and it is estimated that he will use the bridge to cause people to fall into the water because of him, because he is not like Lou Yao I have seen myself quarrel with Wang Jie and others!

And then...and then, she's engaged...then Ling Budoubt will see herself! Scumbag, flirtatious? The front feet are still laughing like a flower in the hunting house, and the back feet are happily calling them 'brother' with the newly appointed fiancé? !

Even if Shaoshang belongs to a Tyrannosaurus rex, he still feels like he has no morals.

Thinking around, Shaoshang couldn't help but ask Lou Yao: "Why do you want to marry me since you think I love Eleven?" She felt that she couldn't understand Lou Yao's thinking.

"Because Brother Zisheng has no intention of you!"

Lou Yao answered as a matter of course: "There are no one thousand or eight hundred women in the capital who yearn for him. It's not time to get married, it's time to have children!" kiss.

Short-mouthed. The thunder above the head stopped, the clouds dissipated, and the sun reappeared.

She patted Lou Yao's shoulder hard, and said overjoyed: "Ayao, you're right! Brother Zisheng doesn't care about me!"

—Maybe in Ling Busu's mind, she is no different from Wang Jilou. Then what she wants to do so much is really unfounded!
