Chapter Eighty-Seven: Whispering
Guan Zhuofan was frightened by himself.
It's not that I'm afraid that my gaffe just now will reveal his identity - on this shijie, no matter what he says or does, no one will believe that he, Guan Zhuofan, is actually a Han man.
What scared him was something else.
I still have to plan the world, I have to counterattack Britain and France, I have to reverse history and rewrite the Spring and Autumn Period.
Why do you let yourself lose your temper like this?
I just got carried away.
China's officialdom culture has a long history, and the core is the worship and pursuit of power. Many people with lofty ideals at first only regarded the pursuit of power as a means to show their ambitions, but once they ascended to the temple and immersed themselves in the officialdom for a long time, they inevitably gradually forgot their original ideals, and turned to power itself and the glory it brought as the ultimate goal. Once such a glass of wine is tasted, few people can escape its temptation, and they often indulge in it.
As a person who reads history, why doesn't Guan Zhuofan know these truths? It's just that the phrase "the authorities are fans", no matter how good. He traveled from a student who didn't know what power was, to this era, born and died, and after several struggles, he finally became a big man who could look down on one side, and suddenly received such a rare reward, his heart was shaken, but it was reasonable.
And Hu Qingqing's unintentional words were like a slap in the face, waking him up with a snap. Looking at himself in the mirror blankly, the smug look was long gone, replaced by a sad face.
Although he has a sad face, he has a clear mind in his heart: this glass of wine, but it is better to drink it. Just be on the lookout at all times. Don't get drunk inside!
Hu Qingqing saw that his face was cloudy. couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "It's okay haode, why aren't you happy?" ”
"Not happy?" Guan Zhuofan paused for a moment, knowing that she had misunderstood, smiled and said, "Qingqing, I want to thank you." ”
Hu Qingqing didn't know that what she had just said was worth ten thousand gold to Guan Zhuofan. Seeing him smile, he put his mind at ease: "Thank you for me?" Waiting for you to get dressed and put on your hat is not an ordinary thing. ”
It's something that can't be explained. Guan Zhuofan shook his head, looked at Hu Qingqing in the mirror, and asked, "Qingqing, look at this flower feather, is it good-looking?" ”
"It's beautiful, why don't everyone come to congratulate you. I'm in Shanghai, and I haven't seen a single old man. I've brought such a feather. ”
"Naturally, I haven't seen it - this is called dazzling eyes, from Qianlong Ye to the present. Only ......" he looked up and thought for a moment, then said, "There are only a dozen or so people who have received such a reward. Now that I have it, are you happy? ”
"Yo...... So rare. Hu Qingqing pursed her lips and smiled, "I'll be happy if you're happy." ”
"Hmm...... Speaking of which, there are more haode, called Three-Eyed Hualing, then only Fu Heng, Fu Kangan, He Lin, Changling, and Xi'en have been able to do it, but they are all gone. Guan Zhuofan looked at the beauty in the mirror and said with a smile, "I'll go earn one and come back to you, okay?" ”
This time, Hu Qingqing didn't speak, biting her lip, even her face became a little pale, she was silent for a long time, and shook her head resolutely: "Not good!" ”
Hey? Guan Zhuofan originally wanted to make her happy, but when he saw her say this at this moment, he couldn't help but be strange and asked, "Why is it bad?" ”
"Last time, Tan Shaoguang came to fight Qibao Town, and those brothers under your command were not there, so you brought hundreds of county soldiers to ......fight him desperately," Hu Qingqing said in a trembling voice, "I sit in the back office, it's like sitting on a fire to roast, don't mention how worried I am." But when you see someone else, you have to pretend to be nothing. ”
It turned out to be for this. Guan Zhuofan was apologetic, turned his hand back, and held one of her hands.
"This time, you went to Sijing to fight, and I couldn't sleep night after night in the house. As soon as the cannon in front of me sounded, my heart jumped, for fear that any cannon would not grow eyes and hurt you...... But then I thought, you are a good person, and the Bodhisattva will definitely bless you to come back safely. ”
Speaking of which, thinking about the torment in my heart in those days, I can't help but have red circles in my eyes. Guan Zhuofan couldn't imagine that she was in love, and even so, he took her hand and comforted her softly: "I'm not back." ”
"It's back, it's back, but I know you're still going to go out to fight anyway, didn't you say that you want to earn a three-eyed feather?"
"I fight, I always win battles, you should be happy." Guan Zhuofan said with a smile, "If you don't fight, how can you make meritorious service?" If you don't make meritorious service, how can you be promoted? ”
There is another sentence that has not been said - if I am not promoted, how can I start talking about the great plan I am trying to make?
"You have won battles, made meritorious contributions, and been promoted, if you say that I am not happy, it is false, but I am happy for you. Whether you are a great lord of the domain, or the old seven-rank master, in my heart, there is no difference. I don't want you to earn any more feathers, and I don't care about your eyes or three eyes, I just want you to be safe and sound, then ...... That's better than anything else. ”
"Suddenly, I saw a strange willow color, and the penitent husband was looking for a marquis." Guan Zhuofan saw that she was sentimental, and dropped a poem, intending to make her happy, "Qingqing, are you reluctant to me?" ”
"What husband...... Something," Hu Qingqing blushed and said in a low voice, "You're talking nonsense again." ”
"I'm going to fight Suzhou this time, to avenge you - not for the country, just for the beauty!" Guan Zhuofan simply behaved, wrapped his arms around her waist, pulled her into his arms, and laughed quietly, "Li Xiucheng went to Jiangning, leaving Tan Shao in Suzhou, I don't want to beat him, I have to wait for him to die of old age, so when will I be able to carry you from the East Chambers to the West Chamber?" ”
Hu Qingqing's uncle died at the hands of Tan Shaoguang, and she once swore that Tan Shaoguang would not die for a day, and she would not talk about marriage for a day. However, I heard that the lover said that for this reason, he led his troops west, went on an expedition to another country, and went into danger, in case there were three long and two short, but he didn't hurt him?
"That's enough for you." Hu Qingqing snuggled in his arms and muttered, "I've thought about it, with you, I don't want any name, you...... Don't go, I'll give you this body today......"
Guan Zhuofan couldn't imagine that she would say this, she was moved and distressed, and she couldn't help but hold her hands and tighten them again.
"Qingqing, this is an oath, aren't you afraid that the Bodhisattva will blame you?"
"If the Bodhisattva wants to blame, he will only blame me......" Hu Qingqing was already blushing with shame, burying his head in his arms, and his soft and tactful voice was almost inaudible, "As long as you are safe, I can't care about this much." ”
Guan Zhuofan only felt that the soft body in his arms was gradually getting warmer, how could there be any reason not to be emotional? However, he knew that Hu Qingqing believed in these things about ghosts and gods, and if she broke the oath she made to her uncle, she was afraid that she would not be able to get peace of mind for the rest of her life. Affection is touchable, so the more people are like this, the more they can't live up to them! He resisted the stirring in his heart, picked up her face, and only kissed her lightly on the face.
"Qingqing, listen to me."
"Hmmm......"
"Although I, Guan San, am a prodigal son, I know that I think about myself in the first half of the night, and I have to think about others in the second half of the night." Guan Zhuofan stroked her hair and said calmly, "The big husband is in the world, he doesn't do something, he must do something, you treat me like this, how can I let you break your oath, or let you end up nameless?" ”
"I ......"
"Don't worry, I'm going to succeed! Not only will my people come back without a need, but they will surely be able to fulfill your wishes, so that you can comfort your uncle's soul in heaven, and there will be no more concerns. He paused, and the following words brought out a smile again: "When the time comes, not to mention the three media and six certificates, at least the Ming media is marrying, so that you will willingly enter the door of my closed house!" It's just that at that time, it's up to me to toss......"
Speaking of this, her true colors were exposed, and the hand behind her waist couldn't help but slide away.
Hu Qingqing was so frightened that she hurriedly grabbed his restless hand, and her heart was sweet and sorrowful - this person, if he is said to be frivolous and incompetent, at such a juncture, he is not at a loss, and he is awe-inspiring; But if he is a gentleman, where is his hand being placed? Now it's like this, and when the day comes to be hugged by him on the acacia bed, I don't know what tricks to use to toss myself......
