Chapter 235: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Are Different, and We Agreed to Drink Tea
The risk of integrating external spirituality is extremely huge.
The eldest lady succeeded, and her strength has leaped forward, but at the same time, she has also broken the stable state of mind at the Martial Saint stage.
The aggressive and "troublemaking" behavior just now may have its original intention, but it is more of a breakthrough that causes unstable thoughts.
The external manifestation is that the mind is restless, and the joy and anger are all shown on the face, and it is difficult to control oneself.
Gu Ke first suppressed and then praised, magnified her "embarrassing" emotion, and then calmed it down little by little.
This relaxation entered the sage time, and it was difficult to accumulate emotions quickly.
"What do you want to talk about?" Thinking about this clearly, she also tried to relax and asked casually.
Gu Ke's face was serious: "Dongjun, will you stay in the cave for the next ten years to practice, or continue to stay in Taiping City?"
The eldest lady was silent, many thoughts flashed in her mind, and she did not answer for a while.
Gu Ke did not stop, but continued: "Dong Jun, it doesn't matter how you choose, just remember that the door of this cave is always open to you, whether you are in it or traveling far away."
The eldest lady looked at him in surprise: "This..."
All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind, and she reluctantly suppressed them: "Let me think about it."
Gu Ke nodded and stood up: "It doesn't matter, but thinking about it won't delay eating, they are already preparing the New Year's Eve dinner."
The eldest lady also stood up and walked out of the door, and saw the smoke from the kitchen curling up, and bursts of laughter came out.
Her expression was a little subtle: Good guy! Just now you said you came to support me, and in the end I came alone? You bunch of traitors.
Putting the responsibility on the "traitors" in her heart, the eldest lady decisively let it go.
Speaking of which, if they were all outside the house just now, listening to her and him talking about "don't look at what is indecent", wouldn't it be more embarrassing?
Some people always like to show their private affairs on the street, while some people don't want to be watched by others.
The eldest lady obviously belongs to the latter, and has no interest in showing her private affairs to others.
Fortunately, Gu Ke also doesn't like being watched, and he persuaded the girls who followed him to leave early.
Besides, Mei Shu and the others knew very well that the eldest lady's "settling accounts" with Gu Ke was actually not suitable for watching.
If it were some cruel masters, they would probably have prepared to kill before the talk.
So when she heard Gu Ke's message, she immediately took the opportunity to take the three sisters away and went to cook the New Year's Eve dinner with Xiaoman and the others.
Speaking of which, this was also the routine when they were still in the cave.
Every time they cooked the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone would do it, and Gu Ke and the eldest lady were responsible for inspection.
At that time, Saranzhu was missing, but there were still four people, Chunxiaqiudong.
While cooking and chatting, they mentioned the ones who didn't come.
Unlike Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju, who were bound to the eldest lady, Chunxiaqiudong had each found their favorite lovers to get married, and their lives were pretty good.
Among them, Dongyan married Li Xiuer's younger brother Li Gouer.
Of course, Gou'er is a nickname, and his real name is Li Shen now - because his sister thinks her brother is too jumpy and wants him to be more cautious.
Dongyan is older than Li Gou'er, oh no, it should be older than Li Shen by ten years.
But when they got married, they were both Wuzong, and this age difference is similar to the female junior in the previous life.
Moreover, one is Li Xiu'er's brother, and the other is a female Wuzong who is close to Li Xiu'er. The middle and high-level people who know about it will not interfere.
Ordinary people don't even know whether Li Shen is married, so naturally they can't gossip about Dongyan.
As for whether Dongyan is attracted by Li Xiu'er's identity as a disciple of the eldest lady, or by Li Shen's superior talent and eloquence, this is not a matter of concern to everyone.
Dawu also has laws on divorce and divorce, but few people "divorce" in daily life.
With the identities of Dongyan and Li Shen, they can only "respect each other like guests" in this life, and it is unlikely to divorce.
Chunshuang married Xia Tiezhu, Xia Tieniu's younger brother.
Xia Li… No, it’s Xia Tieniu, the former second leader of Taiping Village, second only to Li Xiuer, still unmarried, following Li Xiuer without complaint.
Xia Tiezhu’s status is naturally not low, he is low-key and honest, and he is very good to Chunshuang.
Xia Lan’s husband is also one of the orphans of Lijiagou, with a slightly poor talent for martial arts, and is currently only a second-round six-turn.
But Gu Ke remembers this person, who likes to study and study, as the saying goes, a person with a lot of poetry and books is naturally elegant, and he has a good temperament.
The key is… handsome, instantly killing the traffic star in the previous life.
According to Xiaoman’s recollection, Xia Lan mentioned that when she was a child, she secretly watched the handsome little scholar in the private school near her home.
So the case was solved-she likes this, and Wuzong is willing to marry the second round.
She has no parents or elders, so the eldest lady can barely be considered half of her master.
But the eldest lady would never interfere in their marriage. It would be better if they were replaced by plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, so everything went smoothly.
Anyway, the orphan of Lijiagou has the longest qualifications and the highest sincerity in Taiping City.
Even those who have no practical ability can be qualified for positions such as supervisors and inspectors, so their status is not low.
In addition, they are deeply influenced by Shennong, are keen on doing things steadily and practicing martial arts seriously, and almost no one likes to make trouble.
Chunxiaqiudong is at the top of the Dawu, and has lived in a cave and seen a "real person".
The status and position of the outside world are not very important in their hearts. How can it be greater than Gu Ke?
Therefore, after Chunxiadong and the other two got married, they lived their own lives at ease, and their lives were peaceful and happy.
Only Qiulu was said to have "accidentally met" her childhood sweetheart in a certain prefecture city in Zhongting.
After contacting the other party, she often ran there, and a few months later, she received good news.
This time the eldest lady asked Mei Shu and the others to go and find out the man's character. The results were good or bad.
The father of the man's family was a local official in a medium-sized city in Zhongting. His official position was neither high nor low, and he even gave his son a minor official position.
Similar to Gu Ke's previous life, a district or bureau leader in a second-tier city arranged a clerk position for his son, barely getting a little closer to the ruling class.
In this ancient time, large and small forces formed clans and monopolized the channels for advancement.
The status of the man's family is enough to ensure that there are people in the family who have practiced martial arts for generations. The number may fluctuate for one or two rounds at most, and they can be considered prominent figures in the local area.
But compared with Qiu Lu's "background", the man's family can say "not poor", and the rest is meaningless.
The man's appearance was not bad, his character could not be said to be bad, and there was nothing outstanding about him.
The first wife passed away a few years ago, and she had three sons and a daughter, so there was no renewal of the relationship.
Qiu Lu likes her, most likely because of her "childhood sweetheart" - Qiu Lu's father wanted to get married with this family, but the man's father refused because the child was still young. In fact, it was because Qiu Lu's father was too young to have a high official.
Gu Ke was quite speechless after hearing the details of this matter: It's really hard to define whether Tian is infatuated or infatuated.
Sometimes it has nothing to do with interests, but just can't let it go, and others just say nothing.
Everyone has their own ambitions. He is not Qiu Lu's parents, so he doesn't want to dictate her personal affairs.
Gu Xi said that with her martial arts strength, in this increasingly chaotic world, if the man's family didn't do anything stupid, they would be able to provide him with high honors.
I won’t say that I will definitely be happy in my final days, but it won’t be much different.
After all, poor people cannot afford to indulge in love and affection, so it would be good if they can live their lives.
The appearance of Gu Ke and the eldest lady made the girls speed up their movements, and the chat quickly ended.
After waiting for another cup of tea, the New Year's Eve dinner was served.
Steamed buns, mushroom buns, multi-grain steamed buns, porridge with tofu and cold dishes, these are also the same as the original New Year's Eve dinner, but the ingredients are a few grades higher.
There are also sweet and spicy meats, squirrel fish with surplus every year, cold chicken, old duck stewed with kelp, and a platter of smoked pig head, ears, tongue and tail, which is a good sign.
Gu Ke raised his glass and picked up the rouge drunk in his hand: "Whenever a good time comes, let's praise the opportune moment. I wish you all to be like flowers and leaves every year. May you enjoy the spring breeze together every year."
Everyone raised their glasses together and drank.
…
It's night, drink wine, sing and laugh.
After the fifth watch, when everyone was drunk, Gu Ke and the eldest lady came out and quietly floated to the top of Jade Dragon Peak.
Landing in front of the rock table and bench where she used to sit, she couldn't help but look at another pavilion not far away, and thought in her heart: One look at this pretentious decoration, it must be the handiwork of the old aunt.
However, for the sake of everyone sleeping, the eldest lady didn't care about the other party's secret comparison.
Standing on the top of the peak, the two of them were silent for a long time, listening to the sound of wind before dawn.
At the end of the year, the yin and yang rush to short scenes, and the frost and snow at the end of the world are cold at night.
Staring at the vast black sky on the plateau, the eldest lady finally said: "At dawn, I will set off back to Taiping City."
Gu Ke: "Have you considered it properly?"
The eldest lady hummed and said calmly: "Didn't you say that there is something above the uncanny among the uncanny? There are restrictions on your projection going out, so I'd better stay outside and take care of you."
Gu Ke sighed: "It doesn't need to be like this. So what about Xugui? If we catch it once, we can kill it."
After a pause, he continued: "It's just that if you stay in the valley, if you want to project out, you must first sign a labor contract."
The eldest lady frowned: "Take it and take a look."
As soon as Gu Ke's thoughts crossed his mind, a labor contract appeared in the eldest lady's mind.
She glanced at it casually and found that the contract with her friend was not much different. At most, everything was centered on him, and there was a guaranteed salary.
Thoughts were running through my mind, and as soon as I gritted my teeth and thought about it, I wanted to put my fingerprints on it.
Then...she turned to look at him, her brows furrowing even more tightly: "Why no response?"
Could it be that this guy doesn’t want to stay in the cave alone? No, we stayed here just like the friends contracted, so there is no need to add any unnecessary extravagance to this.
Gu Ke chuckled, feeling as expected: "Because it requires you to really want to be my employee before it can be established. There is no need for any hesitation."
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, and became a little angry: "This is a very weird contract, how could I hesitate..."
Gu Ke raised his hand and patted her shoulder twice: "Don't worry, Mr. Dong, just listen to what I have to say."
She hummed twice in her nose, indicating that she was still dissatisfied, but she said no more.
Only then did Gu Ke say: "Dongjun, there are many different situations in the world, and everyone is different. You naturally don't want to be restrained by others, how can you be a hired worker who only obeys others, so it is normal that you cannot sign this contract."
"And yesterday afternoon, I also tried Mei Shu and Ju Qin, but it didn't work because they couldn't let you go."
The eldest lady calmed down and thought about the meaning of these words: Well, secretly signing my personal maid, do you really want to put down two eyeliners?
Well, she knew she was just imagining things, but she just couldn't help it.
However, her thoughts were very messy at the moment, but Gu Ke didn't sense them.
He only continued: "This proves that they are loyal to you and there is nothing wrong with them. And if you don't want to be restrained, it will not affect the friendship between you and me."
The eldest lady couldn't help but turn her head and snorted: "Go, go, go, talk about friendship, it's just nonsense."
This gesture of disdain was too obvious, and Gu Ke couldn't help but smile: "In life, loving relatives and friends is the deepest friendship. After all, we also signed a friendship contract, how can Dongjun turn his back and deny it?"
After hearing this, the eldest lady finally couldn't help but spat: "Bah! You, you said you admit your fault or not..."
Ah, it’s really interesting for a young lady to be arrogant. Gu Ke smiled secretly in his heart and changed his mind: "Yes, yes, yes, let me get down to business. Do you really want to go back to Taiping City?"
The eldest lady was speechless for a long time due to this sudden turn of events. She calmed down for a moment before saying coldly: "When I return to Taiping City, are you not going to project it?"
Gu Ke chuckled: "How is that possible? I have to inspect the experiments over there every day."
Patrol? That's why you went there! The eldest lady gritted her teeth: "Then I will write it down."
Gu Ke nodded: "No problem, just take a closer look. I will bring afternoon tea snacks, and I will bother you more from now on, Dongjun."
(?□?,*) The eldest lady: “Ah???”
The chatting time always passed so briskly, and soon the sky turned pale and the sun was about to rise.
The girls woke up one after another after being drunk in the small hut for an hour or two.
Of course they want to relax, otherwise it would be nice to be drunk for half an hour.
The gifts that should be prepared for the eldest lady and the others were put into Zizhu Speedy Car last night. Both cars were filled to the brim, ensuring that the eldest lady would be satisfied.
After simply washing up and having breakfast, everyone walked into the stone corridor together.
The stone door slid open silently, and the first golden ray of morning sun from the east fell on the ground and quickly approached the cave.
Two Zizhu flying cars floated out gently. The eldest lady stood on the car and looked at each other with Gu Ke... the four of them said: "This valley is too clean to stay in. Are you... okay? Why don't you come to Taiping City for a walk more often?"
Gu Ke nodded: "Dongjun has your destiny, how dare you disobey it."
The eldest lady couldn't help but stare, but saw his smiling expression.
I couldn't help but think of the situation at the summit not long ago, and I was afraid that he would say "nonsense" again at this time. How should I deal with it?
She nodded seriously and said, "That's all. Let's go. See you in Taiping City."
Gu Ke, Xiao Man and the others waved goodbye together, and Mei Lan, Zhu and Ju responded with smiles.
Different from the separation ten years ago, now that Taiping Cave is here, the two sides often meet each other, and it would be too pretentious to say that they are sad.
The only thing I'm reluctant to part with is probably the Jade Dragon Cave, which is like the residence of gods.
Especially the Lingquan hot spring water, Meilanzhuju really wanted to go in and soak in it for several hours every day.
However, the eldest lady had already made a decision in her mind before coming, and leaving was expected.
Perhaps they should look forward to the day when the Yulong Cave can come and go freely, or the Taiping Cave can be opened so that they can take advantage of it?
In the morning glow of the sky, two Zizhu flying cars took off briskly and flew towards the east.
Someone's spiritual voice sounded in the eldest lady's mind: "Today afternoon, let's drink tea together. Dongjun, don't forget it."
