Sure enough, she came to the door and I heard from the blacksmith Huang that she came alone, so it seemed that there was still something to discuss.
Although Guo Shao felt that he was wronged, what could he do? It was like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit. He didn't even get to taste it, but someone grabbed him and said that the situation was serious. It was an immortal fruit that would take ten thousand years to bloom and bear fruit. Zhu Bajie was not as wronged as Guo Shao. At least the old pig was willing to eat it.
Guo Shao walked out of the corner door next to the main gate and saw the woman standing on the side of the road, neither crying nor making a fuss. When she saw Guo Shao coming out, she stared at him.
Guo Shao walked over and said kindly: "The Saint Lady has come to visit us personally. Please come to the living room of the Bishe House first, and we will have a good talk. Now that things have come to this, it is useless for us to argue about who is right or wrong. We need to discuss a solution. What do you think?"
Jingniang ignored him and said nothing.
Guo Shao added: We are in the street here, with people coming and going. Why should we do our own things in front of passers-by? You come in first.
She seemed to not understand what Guo Shao was saying, and did not even react. This made Guo Shao wonder if there was a language barrier between him and the ancients of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but he had been around for several years and felt fine. He couldn't let others not understand him all of a sudden.
Guo Shao decided to ask someone else to persuade her. Didn't Yulian stay in Yuzhen Temple for a few months? He turned around and left. Unexpectedly, Jingniang followed him silently. That's good.
As soon as he entered the corner gate, Guo Shao continued to talk, but it seemed like he was talking to himself, because the woman behind him didn't pay any attention to him. When I entered your door this morning, I was afraid of ruining your innocence, so I struggled and resisted in many ways; but I didn't expect your men to be so stupid, and they came up to help pull me away. I don't know who knocked me out with a palm, and the angle of the palm was really accurate, and it hit me in one blow.
He said all kinds of nice things and walked into the front yard with Jingniang following behind him. At this time, he asked the most crucial question, a simple and direct sentence, which was in line with his style: What is the relationship between Zhao Kuangyin and you
As soon as these words were spoken, they took effect immediately.
Jingniang suddenly stood still, her face turning cold.
Guo Shao looked back and felt a chill run down his spine. He almost shivered. He thought: I must have said something wrong, but it didn't seem like I said anything wrong. This question was something that needed to be answered. Jing Niang looked as if she was about to jump over and kill him.
This feeling was so strong that she didn't even move a finger, but Guo Shao felt that she was about to use violence. His heart was empty: first of all, he was at a disadvantage psychologically. No matter what, he always felt that the innocent virgin was the victim. If he really started fighting, he would use all his strength. This is why justice is more powerful than injustice in war strategy.
Secondly, Guo Shao heard from Yu Lian that Jing Niang had been around the martial arts world and was very good at martial arts. But Guo Shao actually had no martial arts skills at all. He was best at archery and had some experience in short-arm combat, but he knew nothing about Sanda martial arts moves, wrestling and grappling techniques. Moreover, Guo Shao was not a fierce general. Even if he was a fierce general, he would not have so much time to practice fighting, and it was useless in the battle formation; archery, horse riding, plus long weapon skills, at most swords and shields, were really useful. Now if they fought with bare hands like this, he really had no confidence that he could beat Jing Niang. She looked tall, not much shorter than Guo Shao, and it was said that she had martial arts skills, so she didn't seem to be a weakling.
There was a stalemate for a while. Fortunately, Jingniang did not use violence and did not say a word. Her expression became cold and bleak, which made people feel a little pitiful.
Guo Shao felt that he had no way to deal with her, so he decided to take a roundabout approach and let Yu Lian try to persuade her.
Yulian was looking at the cave entrance between the front yard and the main yard. She should have noticed the strangeness of this matter, but she didn't know what happened between Guo Shao and Jingniang. Guo Shao didn't say it. I'm afraid Yulian didn't expect that such a thing would happen: Guo Shao and Jingniang didn't know each other before. If Yulian didn't want to repay the favor of Yuzhen Temple and begged Guo Shao for help, they would have been two people who had nothing to do with each other.
How did two people who didn't even know each other in the morning become like this in the blink of an eye? Jingniang even came to the house and seemed to have a deep grudge against her.
Guo Shao left Jingniang, who had already settled down in the yard, and walked into the cave gate, and Yulian followed him in.
What happened? Yu Lian asked puzzledly.
Guo Shao said embarrassedly: I gave Jingniang that thing.
Yulian was stunned, her mouth open, unable to speak. After a long while, she said: You are too rude. This is the first time we meet, why is Jingniang like that? Are you forcing me
How could I do that? This is a bit unexpected, Guo Shao said embarrassedly.
Suddenly, he had a feeling that he was Yin Zhiping, who was escorted thousands of miles by Zhao Kuangyin, with pure feelings and was as innocent as a gentleman; the girl was moved by his character and the sense of security like a real man, and they fell in love with each other. Then, Guo Shao, without saying a word, went up to the girl and made her bleed.
So Guo Shao confessed the whole story to Yu Lian.
Yu Lian said lightly: It's a good fortune. Jingniang is probably better off following you than following Zhao Kuangyin.
Why do you say that, Guo Shaodao
Yulian shook her head and didn't answer. Seeing this, Guo Shao thought: Is there something that Yulian knows, but he is so stupid? But thinking about it carefully, it seems a bit strange: Zhao Kuangyin should not have been in the army or an official when he escorted Jingniang, otherwise how could he have so much time to do such a thing? It has been so long since he and Jingniang happened, why is Jingniang still in a broken Taoist temple instead of in the Zhao family's inner house
Yu Lian said softly: You have no choice but to marry her.
This makes sense. Guo Shao nodded, thinking. If you take a bite of a fruit in the market for no apparent reason, the best solution is to buy it.
Yu Lian said: It depends on how you want me to marry you. If you are willing to marry me in a formal way, it will be easy because you are not a bad person.
She added quietly: After all, Jingniang is innocent. There seemed to be lamentation and helplessness in her tone.
Guo Shao could hear it, and thought that Yu Lian belonged to him, so why not give her a little more care and love? He quickly said in a nice way: Life is difficult and it's not easy, and besides, those two times you did not do it voluntarily, they are all things of the past, so let's not mention them.
He clenched his left fist with his right hand, and then calmed down and thought seriously: Of course I don't want to marry Jingniang as my principal wife.
Moreover, he had no hesitation in thinking this way, and his idea was very clear: he was unwilling to sacrifice his own interests by being too nice to a woman who was not related to him in any way. Even if he felt that Jingniang was an innocent victim, he could certainly let her be his concubine as long as she was willing.
He is simply a vulgar person who has been tainted by the utilitarianism of the world and has nothing to do with noble sentiments.
Actually, Jingniang was good-looking and looked several years older than Guo Shao, but these were not the problem. The problem was that she had no relationship with him and was not related to him. If Guo Shao had not been knocked unconscious and done that, he could have had a better choice, which was to find a marriage with a suitable family. As a young deputy commander of the Central Army with room for advancement, he would definitely have the opportunity to fall in love with a girl from a well-off family. The two sides would become relatives and echo each other, which would be of great benefit to their future. Feelings could also be cultivated over time.
To some extent, Guo Shao felt that marrying Jingniang in a formal way would mean losing a great benefit.
What kind of love is there to worry about? There is no love between him and Jingniang. They don't even know what kind of person each other is. They just did it once, and they didn't even taste the sweetness.
Guo Shao thought: If I become rich, every woman I meet will have sex with me, and then I will have to be responsible for her and her family's wealth and glory. Can I really afford this
He paced back and forth for a few steps, not saying what he was thinking. In his opinion, these thoughts were human nature; but speaking them out would make him seem cold and selfish, so he simply kept his thoughts to himself.
After thinking about it, he obviously couldn't say: I just want to take her as my concubine, Yulian, you go and persuade her to accept her fate.
It became a bit tricky for a while. Guo Shao thought about it for a while, and then thought about Song Taizong Zhao Kuangyi: He was very reluctant to work for Zhao Kuangyi in the future, but if he didn't have enough strength, it was up to you whether you were willing or not.
Finding a powerful person to marry is one of the ways to accelerate the rise of strength. If you treat Jingniang too well now and let her become Mrs. Guo, when you need to marry in the future, will you bully her and force her to be a concubine
There is another problem. Jingniang seems to have a brother-sister relationship with Zhao Kuangyin. How can Zhao Kuangyin put his face on marrying his boss's sister as a concubine
Of course, this kind of brother and sister is only in name. Don't think that you can gain anything from Zhao Kuangyin by marrying a sister. If you can gain anything, why is Jingniang still working as a Taoist priest in a broken Taoist temple
This is so damn complicated.
Seeing that Guo Shao was hesitating and not speaking clearly, Yulian stopped asking questions and went out to persuade Jingniang; but it seemed to be of no use, as Jingniang still stood there in a daze.
Just then, raindrops suddenly fell from the overcast sky.
Guo Shao hurried out of the cave and called Jingniang, "It's raining, come up to take shelter from the rain." As expected, she ignored everyone and just stared blankly.
Guo Shao thought for a while and said: Getting wet and catching a cold is not a big deal, but wearing wet clothes will definitely expose yourself. Exposure means that the wet clothes stick to the body and your body will be seen by others.
He was speaking the truth. Jingniang had such an extremely hot body that it was too easy for her to be exposed.
