    Chapter 24 Employment

    The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiangyang City, Guo Mansion

    The sky is clear and the air is clear, and the wind is gentle and gentle.

    The heavy snow that fell a few days ago has completely melted away and disappeared, but the scene of Brother Xiao walking away in the snow that day is still emerging in his mind.

    Guo Fu was sitting on a stone bench in the back garden, wearing a moon-white jacket and skirt. She held her round chin lightly with her two jade-white hands, looking at Xiang'er and Polu who were fighting fiercely in the martial arts training ground.  My mind was immersed in the time spent with Brother Xiao.

    "Humph,Second sister, your idea is not very good,Look, the eldest sister is here again!"

    Po Lu was wearing a gray hero uniform, holding a green bamboo stick, and was fighting with Guo Xiang, who was wearing a pink outfit. However, the two seemed to be fighting fiercely, but there was no murderous intent at all. They seemed to be dancing, and their eyes glanced not far away from time to time.  The eldest sister sat stunned.

    Seeing that the eldest sister was in a daze again, he couldn't help but start wheezing and complaining. For Guo Polu, an honest and honest man, to complain, he must be very tired.

    "What's your idea? You're clumsy and you tell a joke to the eldest sister. The joke is not funny, but your stupidity is quite funny!" Guo Xiang has a fair and rosy face, and her cheeks are bright red at this time.  There were a few tiny beads of sweat on his nose. When he heard his brother slandering his idea, he naturally fought back.

    "Then let's stop. Anyway, the eldest sister can't see us!" Guo Polu suggested. At this time, he felt more tired, couldn't move any faster, and his moves became more and more scattered.

    In the past few days, Huang Rong asked them to find a way to make the eldest sister feel more cheerful. She didn't expect that this matter would be so difficult.

    Since Xiao Yuesheng left, Guo Fu has been feeling a little depressed, and nothing around her can attract her attention.

    Guo Xiang took her out for shopping, but she shook her head and was too lazy to move.  Sneaking out with her to find a tavern to drink, she shook her head, saying she was not interested, and told Guo Xiang not to drink.

    Guo Polu saw that there was nothing he could do, so he went to Lu Yun and Xia Houjie to ask for a joke, and ran to his eldest sister's room to tell it to her, but the material for the joke came out of his hesitant mouth.  The joke, no matter how funny it is, cannot make people laugh.

    Guo Xiang was still smart. Seeing that her eldest sister usually liked practicing kung fu the most, she pulled Guo Polu and said that she wanted to practice kung fu and asked her eldest sister for advice.

    This time Guo Fu did not refuse. Practicing Qigong was her way of relieving the pain in her heart.

    But when she arrived at the training ground in the back garden, Guo Fu realized that the method that had always worked well in the past was no longer effective.

    Looking at the fierce competition between the two brothers and sisters, she couldn't control her emotions and couldn't help but drift to Brother Xiao.

    She raised her head and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky. The bright sunshine seemed to have lost the warmth of the past. It shone on her, but it couldn't drive away the chill in her heart. Without Brother Xiao by her side, the world suddenly  There is no more warmth.

    At this time, outside Guo Mansion, four horses slowly stopped in front of the gate of Guo Mansion with neat steps.  Three tough and heroic men and a petite and beautiful woman jumped off the horse.

    "Master, is this the Guo Mansion?" The petite and beautiful woman straightened the belt around her waist and asked the tall, middle-aged and loyal man beside her.

    "Well, Mingzhu, this is Daxia Guo's house, Qiu Yu, come forward to submit your message." This man is Sun Ziming who came to Guo Mansion to propose marriage under his master's orders.

    "Yes, Master." Another handsome young man stepped forward respectfully.

    The gatekeeper of the Guo Mansion saw a lot of people and had a pair of discerning eyes. When he saw the four people's steady steps and the faint purple energy as their eyes moved, he must be a master, so he passed the news in very happily.

    When Guo Jing and his wife were informed that their grandson was coming to see him tomorrow, they were overjoyed and hurriedly went out of the house to greet him.

    "Master Sun" Guo Jing greeted him.

    "I don't dare to be a hero. I don't dare to call myself a hero in front of Guo Daxia. If my master finds out, he will definitely teach me a lesson!" Sun Ziming bowed quickly and said with a smile.

    "Haha, that's too modest, that's too modest. Please come in and have a rest!" Guo Jing stopped being polite. Being polite would be a bit too much. After all, his master was going to be his eldest son-in-law.

    "First, let them meet Master Guo and Mrs. Guo. These are my incompetent disciples. Master asked them to go to Master Guo's tent to hone their skills." Sun Ziming's courtesy was extremely thoughtful. After all, he still had the guidance of his master's wife. He pointed  Referring to Sun Qiufeng and Sun Qiuyu, he indicated that they would serve under Guo Jing.

    Sun Qiufeng and the others hurriedly knelt down to worship each other. They had also admired Guo Daxia for a long time.

    Guo Jing was overjoyed. He had seen elites, so he knew at a glance that these two people were rare masters. After receiving the courtesy of three people, he hurriedly escorted them to the living room of the mansion.

     After entering the living room, the guests and hosts sat down and started talking about the main topic.

    "Master Guo, my master originally wanted to say that Senior Hong came to propose marriage, but unfortunately Senior Hong was nowhere to be seen and his whereabouts were hard to find. So he had to send me, a person with little reputation and little hope, to come here. I really wronged Miss Guo! Master  Let me take the blame for him!"

    Sun Ziming just put down the tea cup and apologized.

    Guo Jing was so bright that he didn't pay much attention to these things. He waved his hands when he heard the words: "I'm serious, your master is also an extraordinary person, so why bother talking about those clich¨¦s? There is no need to attach too much importance to these forms. The beauty of my little girl Pu Liu,  If he doesn't give up, Guo has reached a high level!"

    Although his words were a little too humble, they were what he said from the bottom of his heart.

    Sun Ziming thought he was being humble, so he smiled, and then with a solemn face, he stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Master Guo, Mrs. Guo, on behalf of Master Xiao Yuesheng, I formally apply for employment from the noble daughter Miss Guo Fu, and I hope that Master Guo, Mrs. Guo, will agree!"

    "Yes!" Guo Jing stood up and answered steadily, with great momentum, just like a commander commanding troops.

    "Zi Ming pays homage to my master, my master!" Zi Ming breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. However, this title was a bit difficult to pronounce.

    "Please get up." Guo Jing and his wife also felt a huge stone falling in their hearts, and the matter was finally finalized.

    Huang Rong was so happy that her daughter's bitter love finally came to a successful conclusion. It was truly a blessing from God and the blessings of her ancestors.

    After this process, the final decision was finally made, and there was no room for variables.

    Everyone suddenly felt much closer.

    "I would like to report to my grandma and grandpa that my master has given me a betrothal gift. He said that my grandma and his wife don't like vulgar gifts, so they will no longer send those vulgar things and prepare a few small gifts to express their sincerity."

    "Haha, Ronger, you are worthy of being our son-in-law, he understands us so well." The stone that had been weighing on his heart was finally lifted. Guo Jing felt indescribably relaxed. He didn't care whether he got a betrothal gift or not. His son-in-law's words,  It actually touched his heart, making him smile.

    Huang Rong was not that happy. Although she didn't care about it, it was really unjustifiable if there was no betrothal gift for her daughter. It showed that her daughter's status in his mind was not high, which was worrying. After all, he already had a daughter.  a wife.

    Sun Tzu Mingqing¡¯s disciple gently waved his hands, and Sun Qiufeng and Sun Qiuyu each took off the baggage on their backs and untied it.

    Behind Sun Qiufeng is a long wooden box as long as a sword, while for Sun Qiuyu is a square jade box with an ordinary color and is inconspicuous.

    "Master, Master, let me first explain their uses for these things." Sun Tzu Ming pointed to the two boxes.

    "Please tell me." Huang Rong knew that there must be a reason for what he said.

    "Let them go down and take a rest first. They have suffered a lot along the way." Sun Tzu Ming pointed to his disciples.

    Although he knew that this was Sun Tzu Ming's move to avoid suspicion, since he said so, he could not refuse, so Guo Jing called his servants and led the three of them down to rest.

    It¡¯s hard to disobey the master¡¯s orders. Since the master doesn¡¯t want them to know, even though they are extremely curious, there is nothing they can do.

    Sun Mingzhu rolled her eyes, not worried. Master loves her very much. She will know when she asks later.

    After everyone left, Sun Tzu Ming Yun Gong concentrated on making sure there were no other people around.

    After his actions, Guo Jing and his wife became a little nervous, knowing that these things were extremely precious things.

    Sun Tzu Ming opened the box first. Inside the box was a white wooden sword, two black jackets, a pair of transparent gloves, and a book under the jackets.  These items looked ordinary and tight, nothing extraordinary at all.

    As everyone knows, the higher the grade of the things made by Xiao Yuesheng, the more ordinary their appearance, and the more gorgeous the appearance, the lower their grade.

    The hilt of the white wooden sword was still wrapped in thick linen, which was a little weird.

    Sun Ziming carefully held the cloth-wrapped hilt, slowly picked up the white wooden sword, and smiled at Huang Rong: "Master, this is a gift specially given to you by Master. Please put a drop of blood on the sword. Don't do it."  Touch the blade!"

    Huang Rong hesitated for a moment, looked at Guo Jing, put her green-white index finger between the fine white teeth, and bit it gently. A flash of bright red emerged from the snow-white index finger. She gently raised her index finger on the white wooden sword in front of her.  , blood drops slowly fell from the index finger, dripped on the sword body, and disappeared immediately.

    "Yeah!" Huang Rong exclaimed softly, full of surprise.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Rong¡¯er?!¡± Guo Jing asked hurriedly.

    "It's okay, Brother Jing, this sword seems to suck blood." Huang Rong shook her head.

    At this moment, the white wooden sword held in Sun Ziming's hand slowly floated up, like an invisible hand.??The horizontal sword points toward the air.

    A faint white light gradually emitted from the sword, getting stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a hazy mass. It quickly flew towards Huang Rong, who was stunned, and enveloped her in it. Before anyone could react, the sword suddenly emitted a faint white light.  Out of sight, a long piece of linen slowly fell to the ground.

    Even though Guo Jing and his wife are well-informed, they have never seen anything so strange.

    "Master Wife, now, this sacred wood sword has been integrated into your body, you can call it out at any time." Sun Ziming also deeply understood the surprised mood of the couple. After a while, when they woke up, he  Open your mouth.

    "Oh? What's going on?" Huang Rong asked hurriedly.

    "Sir, please meditate in your heart and the sacred wood sword will appear in your hand."

    "Hey, it's really out!" Guo Jing saw that the wooden sword that had just disappeared suddenly appeared out of thin air in Huang Rong's hand, and couldn't help but reach out to take it for a look.

    "Be careful! Don't touch it!" Sun Tzu Ming lived up to his reputation as the Claw of the Heavenly Thunder God. He struck out like lightning and grabbed Guo Jing's hand.

    "What's wrong?" Guo Jing didn't care about Sun Zi Ming's action, and asked with some surprise. In so many years, he has never been so curious as today.

    Sun Ziming hurriedly put down Guo Jing's hand and said apologetically: "This sacred wood sword is too overbearing. Except for wooden objects, it is indestructible and absorbs human energy. No one else can touch it except the owner."

    "So domineering? Does it suck people's energy?" Guo Jing frowned, feeling a little uneasy. Such a domineering thing was a bit too vicious, and he was afraid that it would be used in an ominous manner.

    Sun Tzu Ming seemed to have read through his mind and said hurriedly: "If the master is able to control this sword after getting familiar with it, then he will be able to do as he pleases if it does not absorb people's essence."

    Guo Jing nodded slowly: "Well, this is very good. It sucks people's energy and harms the peace of the world. It's better not to use it! Ronger, do you think so?"

    "Brother Jing is right, Rong'er will naturally restrain himself from it." Huang Rong smiled sweetly, feeling touched by her husband's generosity.

    The sacred wood sword in her hand flickered, which made her quite interesting.

    "After this sword is integrated into the body, it can automatically absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It will also nourish the body of the owner of the sword, transform the body, and delay aging. Over time, the body will become stronger than gold and stone, and the sword will be difficult to damage." Sun Ziming continued to explain.  .

    These words naturally shocked Guo Jing and his wife. It was hard to believe that such a divine creature existed in the world!  Just like in myths and legends, even though they are well-informed and have extraordinary experiences, they have never encountered such a strange thing.

    "This, this is too precious!" Huang Rong was a little uneasy. Such a sacred object was indeed too precious to give away.

    "After some time, my wife will naturally connect with this sword. There are many wonderful things about it. I will know it by then." Sun Ziming smiled, talked casually, and picked up the pair of transparent swords with both hands.  Gloves.

    "Master, this is for you, please put a drop of your blood on it."

    "No, the divine wood sword just now is too valuable. Guo Tianyan accepts it. The others must not be accepted. It is better to take them back and return them to your master." Guo Jing waved his hands vigorously with a determined expression.

    Sun Ziming laughed softly and said, "My master really expected me."

    "What's expected?" Huang Rong put the sword into her body and felt it was like a ball of inner breath, stationed between her eyebrows, slowly releasing traces of cool breath, making her mind clearer and clearer, and she was filled with surprise in her heart.  It didn't fade at all. Hearing Sun Ziming's words, he asked curiously.

    "My master expected that the Chinese and foreign masters would refuse. He asked me to say that since we are already a family, there is no need to distinguish between you and me. His things will naturally belong to you and your two elders. If you are too polite, you can't be considered a family. Besides,  He doesn't have any elders alive. He wants to support his son but his relatives are no longer around. He is really helpless. Now you two have become his elders, just like his parents. He takes out something to show his respect and is happy in his heart. If he doesn't accept it, he will  Instead, you will feel sad.¡±

    Sun Tzu Ming respected his master very much. He first bowed to the south from a distance, then turned around and recounted his master's words to the two of them.

    This call moved Guo Jing, and Huang Rong was filled with compassion and motherly love.

    "Okay, your master is also a very affectionate person. He said so. If I refuse again, it would be hypocritical." After saying that, he bit his index finger hard and dripped it onto the glove in Sun Ziming's hand.

    ??The white light suddenly flashed, and the scene looked just like before. The pair of transparent gloves blended into Guo Jing's body.

    "Master Wai, this glove is similar to Master Po's sword. It is indestructible to water, fire, and sword. By the way, both have the effect of amplifying internal power. For example, holding the sword in your hand or wearing the glove on your hand  , with one minute of internal strength, it can produce a lot of power. Haha, in short, these two treasures have endless wonderful features, I can¡¯t remember them clearly,It takes two of you to appreciate it carefully.  " Sun Ziming smiled at the two people who no longer showed surprise. He admired them in his heart. As expected, his determination was astonishing.

    He pointed at the two black jackets and said: "Those two pieces of clothing, after dripping blood to identify the owner, blend into the skin. They can protect the owner from swords, water and fire. They can only protect themselves. Compared with the sacred wooden sword  It is much different from the Dragon Tendon Gloves. This is the Qingxin Jue. After practice, it can stimulate the mysterious power in the body and enhance spiritual wisdom. Master once said that among these gifts, this is the most precious and of great importance. Please recite it immediately.  , after memorizing it, destroy it immediately and do not spread it to other people except the disciples of the Guo family."

    Hearing this, Guo Jing hurriedly said: "Rong'er, hurry up and recite it, you have a good memory."

    Huang Rong nodded and picked up the thin booklet with a solemn expression.

    When I opened it, I saw that it was completely blank, with only two pages of white paper.

    Just when she was about to speak, her eyebrows suddenly jumped. The cool air formed by the sacred wood sword actually separated a trace and slowly poured into her eyes.

    The front of her eyes went dark, then suddenly brightened, and the world in her eyes became only black and white, which made her a little panicked.

    I accidentally glanced at the blank page in my hand, and my heart moved. It turned out that the blank page was actually full of text.

    In the eyes of Guo Jing and Sun Ziming, Huang Rong's eyes suddenly lit up, and her eyes seemed to be real. She glanced at them lightly, and wherever she was glanced at, she felt a bit of stinging pain, as if she had been scratched by a sharp knife.

    Sun Tzu Ming has seen many of these situations, so he is not surprised.

    Guo Jing, on the other hand, was a little dazed. He was not very flexible and could not react to this dazzling and strange phenomenon.

    Huang Rong stared at the pages of the book and recited silently. She quickly memorized the two pages until she memorized them like a stream. The thin book suddenly ignited without fire and turned into ashes.

    During this period, Guo Jing and his wife had experienced so many strange things that they were almost numb, and they did not pay attention to such strange phenomena.

    After the couple finished drinking tea, they calmed down.

    Sun Ziming opened the small jade box next to it, and there were only three mutton-fat jade bottles inside.

    "This bottle is the Heaven-Building Pill, this bottle is the Beauty Pill, and this bottle is the Soul-Returning Pill. There are five pills each. The Heaven-Building Pill is used to make up for innate deficiencies, cut hair and cleanse marrow, change muscles and bones, but the power of this pill  Being tyrannical and domineering requires the support of someone with deep inner strength to suppress the medicinal power and release it slowly, otherwise it will be useless and will become a poison. The Beauty Pill can make a person's appearance permanent and will never change. The Soul-Returning Pill is a life-saving medicine.  Even if a person dies, as long as his last breath lasts for less than an hour, he can still be saved with a soul-reviving pill, and his life can be guaranteed for a month without worries." Sun Tzu Ming explained the three bottles of pills as treasures in his family one by one, and finished the story in one breath, no longer sloppy.  .

    With the stimulation of those two artifacts in front of them, these precious elixirs can no longer stimulate their numb hearts.

    "Well, if you take out one of these things, it will be a priceless treasure. Only now I realize that I still underestimated your master before." Guo Jing shook his head and sighed, feeling as if he was in a dream, everything became unreal.

    Huang Rong has been closing her eyes lightly at this moment, thinking carefully about the contents of the two pages.

    Hearing Guo Jing's words, she slowly opened her eyes. The sharp light in her eyes gradually faded and disappeared. Huang Rong also regained her original vision.  She smiled softly, with a calm look on her face: "This is true. I have never heard of these things. I didn't expect them to appear in front of us. It feels like a dream. Brother Jing, we are here  Are you dreaming?"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.

    "Master, Master, please put these things away. Ziming will go down to rest first. We will discuss the wedding after dinner." Sunzi Ming saw that they were a bit rude, so he resigned first and allowed the couple to have fun.  Have some diarrhea, otherwise it will be too irritating and harmful to the body.

    "That's fine. Zi Ming will definitely be traveling non-stop. It's a rush. Thank you for your hard work. Let's take a good rest and we will discuss the marriage." Guo Jing had already made up his mind and saw that Zi Ming had resigned and did not force him to stay.

    "Miss, miss! The master and his wife are calling for you!" Guo Fu's maid Cuiyu ran into the back garden and shouted in a high voice, regardless of her delicate image.

    Guo Fu was thinking about it. Guo Xiang and Guo Polu were also beaten weakly. They felt exhausted. When they heard Cuiyu's call, they stopped.

    "Cuiyu, why did dad call eldest sister?" Guo Xiang wiped the fine beads of sweat on her head and asked, holding a green bamboo stick. She always felt that the name of the girl in her sister's room was too tacky, Cuiyu, how tacky.  name.

    "I don't know, my little maid, but it seems to be related to the Heavenly Thunder Divine Claw. He just brought three disciples to see the master and his wife." This delicate Cuiyu is not stupid at all.

    "God of Thunderclaw?  It must be Brother Sunzi Ming!  Why is he here?  Wasn't his master with him?  "Guo Xiang asked a series of questions.

    Guo Fu's watery eyes were suddenly full of energy, but she was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she just looked at Jade Jade eagerly.

    "His master? I don't know! I just heard from Lu Yun that the Heavenly Thunder Divine Claw came to Guo Mansion with three disciples. No one was allowed to come near the living room just now. After that person left, the master called me and asked me to come to you.  ." Cuiyu was sharp-tongued and spoke crisply, but the content was a bit confusing.

    "Sister, go and have a look. Maybe it has something to do with Brother Xiao!" Guo Xiang tried to persuade her. She knew that whenever she mentioned Brother Xiao, her eldest sister would perk up.

    "I'm going to see what's going on with daddy. You guys should go and have a rest first. It's been hard on you after practicing for so long!" Guo Fu's always indifferent face suddenly showed a smile, and there was a hint of laughter in her voice.  .

    Guo Xiang watched the eldest sister's graceful figure wandering away, snorted angrily, and said helplessly to Guo Polu: "Eldest sister knows our painstaking efforts, but she deliberately pretends not to see it, and makes us go through such trouble. It's really  exasperating!"

    Guo Polu was used to being bullied by his two sisters. He felt a little used to it and said numbly: "Who makes her the eldest sister¡ª¡ª!"

    "Huh, what's so great about the eldest sister! I'm still the second sister! Polu, let's go have a drink at Uncle Lu's place?!" Guo Xiang's pretty face changed from anger to anger very quickly, and she turned from anger to laughter in the blink of an eye.  The process was a bit flattering and a bit threatening to win over Guo Polu.

    She has a different temperament than ordinary women. She likes to drink and eat meat with those heroic men, and she yearns for the passionate world.

    "Second sister, you pawned the golden hairpin given by grandpa last time, but this time there is nothing left. How can you have money to buy wine?" Guo Polu was originally a very honest child, but with such an eccentric person  Second sister, it¡¯s easy to learn bad things.

    Guo Jing was born in the grasslands and had a heavy drinking capacity. His son also inherited this advantage and liked drinking, and his drinking capacity was extremely high.

    Guo Xiang likes drinking, not because he likes wine, but because he likes the atmosphere and vigor when drinking. He is a very light drinker. Taking Guo Polu along with him will help him carry him when he is drunk, so he can feel at ease and worry-free.

    Guo Xiang was generous and generous, and often fought to pay for drinks. However, her family was very strict and she didn't have much pocket money. She couldn't buy a few jars of wine, so she sold her jewelry. She was really bold, and she was not afraid of what her parents would do if they knew about it.  , punished her heavily.

    "That's a question OK, go find Big Brother Sun Ming's disciples and ask them to treat you to a drink! I'm their elder!" Guo Xiang put her face in her hands and thought for a while, then rolled her smart eyes, and suddenly thought of  Found a way.

    "Okay, I also want to meet them and see what the disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Divine Claw look like." He was accustomed to obeying his second sister's decisions at first, but when the implementation was unfavorable, he started to complain a few words to show his wisdom.  .

    So, the two of them stumbled towards the guesthouse area with green bamboo sticks in their hands.
