Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky: Second, Yun Yuan Climbing Phoenix 2

His words stunned the room.

Huang Ti frowned, and poured down the tea in the cup like wine, Bai Yima and Hua Jingtai also served tea and drank at the same time, even Nan Pianyue frowned slightly.

For a moment, the room fell into silence.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Xie Zhu led the waiters in with wine and vegetables, and suddenly the wine and coriander were fragrant.

"Smells good." Hua Jingtai sniffed.

"This wine is a twenty-year-old daughter's red wine, so it should be full of energy." Xie Zhu placed the wine and dishes on the table, "These dishes are not delicacies, but they are all good at small shops, and they are very popular among old customers. Like it."

Huajingtai took the lead in picking up a chopstick "Yulin Fragrant Waist", and immediately praised: "Tender! Fragrant!"

Xie Zhu smiled when he heard the words, a pair of pear nests were full of joy, and poured wine for several people one by one, and when it was Nan Pianyue, he looked over quietly, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Several brothers saw it and smiled in unison.

"You guys take it easy, just call if you have something to do." After pouring the wine, Xie Zhu stepped back.

"Let's have a drink first." Hua Jingtai raised his glass.

So the brothers toasted together, raised their heads and drank it in one gulp, and then all praised "good wine!"

"Eighth brother, when do you plan to get married?" Bai Yima asked after putting down his cup.

Nan Pianyue scratched her head: "Xie Zhu said that the peach blossoms are the most beautiful in spring, so I thought, if possible, next spring."

"Well, not bad." Bai Yima nodded, "If you have identified this girl, you should have told your elder brother. Now you can't just get married, you have to make preparations early."

As soon as Nan Pianyue heard it, he glanced at the brothers: "Don't try to spoil my good deeds again like the previous few times."

The brothers couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

"Don't worry, eighth brother, I won't do it this time." Fengji said, with a smile in his eyes, "Miss Xie is different from the person you have taken a fancy to before, eighth brother can rest assured, he just waits to be the bridegroom next spring. .”

After listening to Feng Ji's words, Nan Pian Yue smiled openly: "I believe what the fourth brother said."

"Hey, I remembered about marriage." Hua Jingtai suddenly said, "Third brother is going to Mengcheng this time, if King Mengcheng also said that he wants to marry and form an alliance, do you think the third brother will marry?" Promise?"

Several people stopped their glasses, trying to figure out what Ning Yuan was thinking.

Then Nan Pianyue took the lead and said: "Third brother... If there is a thing that saves worry and effort and has a lot of benefits, he has always been willing to accept it. It's just that the nieces are too young, so they can only be Princess Mengcheng I'm married." After speaking, he grabbed a chicken leg and put it in his own bowl.

Bai Yima said: "As far as I know, King Mengcheng of this generation is in his prime. He has seven sons, the oldest fourteen years old, but only one daughter, who is only seven years old. We are all married and have children, so marriage should be unlikely."

"Old Five, you forgot that we still have a princess." Hua Jingtai rushed to grab another chicken leg before Nan Pian Yuexia Chopsticks.

Nan Pianyue wrinkled her nose unwillingly as she watched the chicken leg being snatched away by Hua Jingtai, and picked up a chicken wing as the next best thing, and said, "Yes, Seventh Sister is also a princess, according to her age , it would be suitable for Nameng to become king."

Hearing what he said, Huang Ti, who had been silent all this time, took a sip of his wine and said, "He dare not."

Nan Pianyue took a bite off the chicken leg, then chewed and said, "Third brother...um...do you dare not to say it first, if you say this happened...um...how will Seventh Sister react?"

The brothers couldn't help imagining Feng Duying's possible reaction at the same time, and they all laughed at the same time.

Then Hua Jingtai said with emotion: "Speaking of Seventh Sister's marriage, I think of Gu Yunyuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Pianyue became more excited, and he stopped eating the chicken legs, and shouted: "Oh, that Gu Daudao! I admire him! He proposed to the eldest brother again and again, and then again and again Being reprimanded and demoted by the elder brother, that kid didn't flinch at all, he's brave enough and tough enough! Sigh, in fact, I want to call him Crazy Gu even more!"

When the brothers thought of Gu Yunyuan, some frowned, some shook their heads, and some sighed. Speaking of this person, I really don't know whether to say that he is brave or stupid, or that he is simply a crazy lunatic as the eighth brother said.

In the first year of the Yuan Ding, Dong Shixiu promulgated the Order of Seeking Talents. At that time, talented people from all over the world gathered in the imperial capital. Gu Yunyuan came from Qingzhou at that time. At that time, the Golden Palace made a policy discussion, from the emperor to the ministers, all praised this man for his talent in managing the country.

Dong Shixiu first granted him the title of sixth-rank Lantai historian, but within half a year, he edited "Dantai Elegant Collection", which Lantai Shiling once said would take five years to complete, so he broke the rules He was promoted to a fourth-rank Shaoshi to show his encouragement. At that time, how many people envied him, thinking that he would be successful in the future. It's just that as soon as Dongshi repaired his fourth-rank Shaosi, Gu Yunyuan asked the emperor to surrender "Princess Fengying". It is conceivable that this bold request not only made the six brothers hesitate, but also aroused Dong Shixiu's fury. If he refused to agree, he demoted Gu Yunyuan, who had just been promoted to the fourth rank, to the seventh rank on the spot. court supervisor.

If it were a person, he would probably have a mournful face, but this Gu Yunyuan didn't care, instead he said to the wind alone: ​​"Your Majesty's proposal of marriage is because an elder brother is like a father. In fact, as long as the general approves, I can worship the general and become a husband and wife at this moment today." As a result, the shocked Feng Duying had no time to react, and the enraged Dong Shixiu ordered the guards to drive him away out.

I don't want to, this Gu Yunyuan even solved suspicious cases as soon as he arrived in Jiechai Mansion, not only the people called him Qingtian, but also Bai Yima praised him greatly, and personally asked for credit for him. Dong Shixiu was demoted to his official position at the beginning, but because this kid dared to spy on his most precious sister, he still appreciated Gu Yunyuan's talent, so he agreed to Bai Yima's invitation to join Gu Yunyuan as the fifth-rank official.

Look, this downgraded official position has finally been promoted, and others are kneeling down to thank Longen in trepidation. But it's Gu Yunyuan, the moment the emperor closed his golden mouth, he once again begged to surrender "Princess Fengying". This time... Dong Shixiu directly sent him back to his hometown of Qingzhou from afar to become a seventh-rank prefect of the small Hucheng.

Designation from the emperor's feet to a remote town is a devastating blow to any courtier, because it means that his entire career will be ruined. However, Gu Yunyuan showed no signs of dejection. Seeing that the guards who wanted to coax him out of the palace were approaching, he still did not forget to shout to Feng Duying, "Although your Majesty disagrees, if the general wants to, why not elope with his subordinates to Hucheng?" go also'. Feng Duying naturally turned a deaf ear to it, but Dong Shixiu on the jade seat turned green with anger, and all the officials in the palace turned their backs to hide their smiles, and even the other six brothers sighed helplessly. I heard that when Gu Yunyuan left the imperial capital, there was no one to see him off, so he rode a thin horse with a burden on his back and went to his post alone.

I don't know whether to say that Gu Yunyuan is lucky or not. He has only been in office for two months, and Hucheng has suffered continuous torrential rains, causing the Lan River to burst its embankment. He fought floods, rescued disasters, and calmed the people, and everything was done properly. After the floods passed, he led the people to build embankments and divert water. It is conceivable how the people of Hucheng loved this parent official, and the scholars and squires in the city even jointly petitioned the imperial court for Gu Yunyuan's favor. The papers were reported layer by layer, all the way to Dazai Toyoji, thinking that this person not only did not blame others for his repeated setbacks, but also had outstanding political achievements, which is really rare. So he handed the booklet to Dong Shixiu, and also praised "good talent" by the way.

Dong Shixiu is not a faint king, and meritorious ministers will naturally be rewarded, so Gu Yunyuan was called to the imperial capital, and he was admitted to his fourth-rank Shaosi as usual, but... this Gu Yunyuan asked to surrender "Princess Fengying" as usual, so Almost... This time, Dong Shixiu didn't bother to get angry for him, so he waved his hands and demoted him to the Northern Army of the Imperial Guard to become an eighth-rank civil servant.

The supreme commander of the 40,000 imperial guards and the northern army is the first-class general Feng Duying, so naturally... this eighth-rank Wencao is also an inconspicuous official under Feng Duying's command. Everyone in the court knew that the emperor's action was nothing more than telling Gu Yunyuan: "Princess Fengying" is the phoenix in the sky, and he is just a toad on the ground. Phoenix.

Facing the emperor's harsh treatment, Gu Yunyuan's face was full of joy. He thanked the emperor for his kindness in front of the hall, and then said to Feng Duying: "General, from now on, you can accompany the general every day."

As soon as these words fell, not only Dong Shixiu on the jade throne turned green with anger, but the other six brothers also turned red with anger. So, when Gu Yunyuan arrived at the North Army Camp of the Imperial Guard, the six brothers often took advantage of their official duties to go around and made things difficult from time to time, but this Gu Yunyuan handled it calmly and took care of the paperwork in the North Army Camp in an orderly manner. , and brought some things to Feng Duying's tent from time to time. Today is the steamed stuffed bun made by Zhou’s shop; tomorrow is the naive puppet doll carved by Li’s shop; In the end, Gu Yunyuan has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and has no intention of giving up.

"Nowadays, colleagues in the Northern Army all give thumbs up when they mention him. It seems that Gu Bold will be promoted again soon. I don't know if he is going to ask for the surrender of 'Princess Fengying' again this time?" Hua Hua Jingtai's eyes lit up. It seemed that he was very happy to see such a scene. After all, Gu Yunyuan provoked their elder brother the emperor to jump into anger several times but did not kill him.

"Hey, why do you say that Gu Boldly asks for marriage again and again? Does he really like Seventh Sister? I can't tell at first?" Nan Pianyue said.

"Whether Gu Yunyuan likes Seventh Sister or not, you can tell by the way he looks at Seventh Sister." Bai Yima reached out and patted his younger brother's head, and wiped off the fleshy bits on his cheek.

Nan Pianyue rubbed his forehead: "I really haven't noticed any eyes, this man who is facing up and down looks at Seventh Sister with the same eyes, respectful and fearful."

"Gu Yunyuan is different." Bai Yima picked up the chopsticks and held a plate of "pipa shrimp".

"So..." Huang Ti said coldly, "If Gu Yunyuan dares to propose marriage again, I will help him."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Yima stopped holding the vegetables, the chicken leg in Nan Pian Yue's mouth fell, and Hua Jing Tai choked on a sip of wine, causing him to cough up tears, Feng Ji's hand holding the cup shook, There are more than ripples in the cup.

Several people stared blankly at Huang Ti at the same time, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Nan Pianyue first yelled: "Second brother, are you telling the truth? Do you want that lunatic Gu to marry Seventh Sister?"

Hua Jingtai also shouted at the same time: "Second brother, every time you open your mouth, you always give us a big jump."

Huang Ti said without even raising his eyebrows: "Of course what I said is true."

Huang Ti has always said the same thing, so the brothers all understood that he was serious, so Nan Pianyue's eyes bulged round: "Then madman Gu is not worthy of my seventh sister!"

"Where is he not worthy?" Huang Ti asked him back.

"He is nothing compared to Seventh Sister." Nan Pianyue pouted. He is very unhappy, his seventh sister is a phoenix in the sky, no man in this world can match her! It's best to stay at home for a lifetime, accompanied by their seven brothers, and live in love with each other for the rest of their lives!

"Then Gu Yunyuan is nothing compared to our Seventh Sister except being bolder." Hua Jingtai also said, "If we marry Seventh Sister to him..." He imagined his sister in his mind From then on, she and Gu Yunyuan fell in love with her husband and sang about the scene of her husband and children, and then shook her head like a rattle drum, "I don't want to either!" Humph! Although his younger sister is sometimes a little bit tougher and a little bit fierce, she is also a unique treasure in the world, how can she be touched by other stinky men!

Huang Ti drew his sword eyebrows together: "Although that Gu Yunyuan's status is not as high as ours, his appearance is not as good as the fourth younger brother's, and his martial arts skills are not as good as the seventh sister's, but his heart for the seventh sister is unmatched by ordinary people. He glanced at Fengji intentionally or unintentionally, and continued: "There are not many people in this world who dare to ask the emperor to marry him without fear of death, knowing that he will offend the emperor. His courage and magnanimity alone are rare in the world." Yes, not to mention that he is full of talents, if he has a sister-in-law like this, what can I ask for from my husband."

Hearing this, Nan Pianyue and Huajing Terrace fell silent.

What Huang Ti said is the truth, Gu Yunyuan is better than many men in the world just by his fearless and calm demeanor and his consistent determination for several years.

"Gu Yunyuan, to be honest, I really admire him." Bai Yima, who hadn't expressed his opinion, said suddenly, "It's just... just think about him marrying our seventh sister, my heart... ...I feel that he suddenly looks hideous."

"Hahaha..."

Hua Jingtai and Nan Pianyue laughed at the same time, they didn't have the same thoughts.

"Fifth brother, you also say such capricious words." Huang Ti looked helplessly at the younger brother who was the most worry-free among his brothers.

Bai Yima smiled wryly and rubbed the center of his brows. He had no scruples towards his brothers, "Seventh sister can be said to be brought up by our brothers. When I think of her marrying into someone else's family, I just don't like it." Comfortable."

"Hey, fifth brother, don't be sad." Hua Jingtai took a sip of wine, "Let's not say whether we agree or not, first of all, big brother will not agree."

Huang Ti took the jug and poured the wine and said: "No matter how much elder brother is reluctant to part with Seventh Sister, he can't miss her marriage. No matter how good Seventh Sister is, she is also a daughter's family, and she always wants to marry and start a family."

"But..." Bai Yima looked at Fengji, seeing him drooping his eyes and not saying a word, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "Second brother, you'd better think about this matter carefully before it's too late, otherwise it will only backfire."

"Boom!" The wine glass was placed heavily on the table, and Huang Ti's hand on the table slowly clenched into a fist: "What year and month do you think Seventh Sister wasted?"

Seeing the angry look on Huang Ti's face, several people couldn't help being stunned.

"Although the eight of us are not of blood, we have been brothers and sisters since the day we became sworn brothers. After so many years, we are already better than our own. But even so, we can't stay with Seventh Sister forever , she will be with another person in the end." He looked slowly at the younger brothers, "We love Seventh Sister very much, but how can we bear her to be alone for the rest of her life? There is a good boy who adores her and is willing to protect her, we should be happy See what happens. So... Big Brother, no matter how reluctant he is to part with Seventh Sister, he can't keep her and miss her forever!"

When the words fell, his eyes fell on Fengji, and Fengji raised his eyes as if he had sensed it.

The two look at each other, one is as sharp as a sword, the other is as deep as a pool, they don't flinch from each other, each has persistence, but they are all for the same person.

Bai Yima, Hua Jingtai, and Nan Pianyue looked at the two of them in a daze, but they didn't know what to say or what to say.

Because... Feng Duying's marriage has always been a heartache in their brothers' hearts. They can't mention it, and they can't let it go. But, can Gu Yunyuan do it? Even if it is rare for others to be determined, the elder brother's repeated pressure has already shown his attitude, not to mention...

The hearts of the three were heavy, they wanted to agree with Huang Ti's actions, but they didn't dare to act rashly.

For a long time, Fengji said softly: "Seventh Sister will not agree." The voice was steady, but under Huang Ti's gaze, it was like thin ice under the bright sun, so vulnerable.

"If you haven't tried it, how will you know if she agrees?" Huang Ti's voice was stern and firm.

Feng Ji moved his lips, but remained silent again. He looked at Huang Ti, his elder brother's gaze seemed to be able to cut open his heart, and a chill came through his chest.

The room was eerily quiet for a while.

Bai Yima, Hua Jingtai, and Nan Pianyue looked at each other, and exchanged glances.

Finally, it was Nan Pianyue who broke the silence and said to Huang Ti: "Second Brother, Seventh Sister..." Just as he started speaking, the door creaked open.

"What are you calling me for?" Feng Duying strode in, and Du Kang closed the door for them behind him.

Nan Pianyue was stunned, and then smiled at Feng Duying: "Seventh sister, just now we said that if the third brother reached a peace agreement with King Mengcheng and wanted to marry you to King Mengcheng as his queen, would you be willing?" Not happy?"

Feng Duying glanced at Nan Pianyue out of the corner of his eyes, and the corner of his lips curled up in a disdainful arc: "I'm not interested in being a queen, but if I'm becoming a king of Meng, I'll just let it go."

"Hahaha..."

The five brothers laughed out loud at the same time when they heard the words, this laughter resolved the deadlock in the room, and also cleared away the boredom in their chests.

"As expected, she is worthy of being Seventh Sister." Nan Pianyue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Seventh sister, look at this 'Furong crucian carp' we haven't touched, it's just for you." Hua Jingtai sent the fish to Feng Duying.

"This daughter's red fragrance is very fragrant, come, fifth brother will pour you a glass." Bai Yima poured a glass of wine and handed it to her.

"Seventh Sister, I left you a chicken wing." Nan Pianyue took the last chicken wing on the plate to her.

Huh? Feng Duying raised his eyebrows, looked at the elder brother and younger brother who suddenly became attentive, and saw the gentle and loving eyes of Huang Ti and Feng Ji on the opposite side, and wondered in his heart: "Did you do something behind my back?"

Nan Pianyue blinked her eyes and said innocently: "Seventh sister, how can you question our love for you?"

"Yeah, yeah, Seventh Sister, you care too much. Could it be that we, brothers, can't be nice to our own girls?" Hua Jingtai also laughed.

"That's right, come and drink." Bai Yima brought the wine glass to her hand.

How can the brothers say: Because you mentioned that you are going to get married just now, we all feel reluctance in our hearts.

Feng Duying looked at them suspiciously again, then gave up and raised his glass to signal that he would do it.

So, drink and eat vegetables.

Because we haven't seen each other for a long time, the six of them were very happy, chatting about the interesting things in the family in the middle of the court, grabbing vegetables and filling wine with each other, and drinking until the sun went down.
