Chapter 51
Duan Yi and Qi Lang looked at each other.

Old Master Guan didn't hold back, and said directly, "If it was in Jiannan, I remembered an old incident. Our Guan family inherits the family business, no matter who is older or younger, it depends on whose craftsmanship is stronger."

"Back then, there were two people from my generation, each with their own strengths. One was me. I was stable and suitable for building houses and bridges. I'm the exact opposite."

"He is smart, he doesn't want to build a house day after day, and concentrate on studying the secrets of mechanisms. My father thinks that he has gone astray. A person who can use mechanism techniques is just an ordinary person? If it’s not good, you’ll be murdered.”

"Zhongqiu was young and energetic. He had a big quarrel with his father and went out to wander the world alone. Just when we all thought he died outside, he suddenly came back and brought back a girl."

As Mr. Guan said, he looked Duan Yi up and down, and he sighed softly, "Do you still remember the first time we met?"

Duan Yi nodded, "You keep looking at me, and you ask me if I have any relatives from grandma's generation. My grandmother was born in Fanyang Lu's family. There are many branches and leaves. There are too many relatives in the same clan, and I can't count them."

As she spoke, she frowned thoughtfully, "You mean to say that the girl Guan Zhongqiu brought back is very similar to me?"

Speaking of which, when the old god stick died, he also looked at her, talking about what she really looked like.

Mr. Guan looked at Duan Yi in surprise, "You're right."

"That girl is not very similar to you, but there are seven or eight. The first time I saw you at the top of the Duan family's grave, I still murmured in my heart. If it wasn't for the mother Jiang who came to find someone, she said that you are the Duan family. Miss San, I even want to ask you if you have heard of my brother."

"That girl wears a sword at her waist and wears a begonia red dress. She is very beautiful and speaks a good official language. Rather than saying that she is a lady, it is better to say that she is a swordsman."

Duan Yi rested her cheeks and listened carefully to Mr. Guan's talk about ancient times.

Taking a glance from the corner of the eye, Cui Zigeng and Mr. Yan came out just in time, and each of them brought a plate of food and placed it on the Eight Immortals table in the main room.

"Because I haven't seen Zhongqiu for many years, I remember the scene of that day very clearly. The girl said that her name is Chu Ge, and she bought a barren mountain near here, and wanted to build a village on the top of the mountain."

"You know, there are many mountains and mountains here, and there are many martial arts people who come here to establish sects. In the end, it will either end up in a haunted house with no one in it, or it will become a den of bandits. If you work for a long time, there will be There is only Shushan."

"At that time, we thought that this girl was also such a whimsical person, so we didn't care too much. As long as Zhongqiu came back, it would be a great joy. I wanted to help, but Zhongqiu refused, and only said that the barren mountain that Chu Ge bought Above, there was an old house."

"It's enough for him to change it. I was in my prime at the time, and I had a lot of things to do, so I didn't take it to heart. After about a year, suddenly one day, Zhongqiu came back in a daze."

Seeing that Mr. Guan was choked up, Duan Yi sighed and looked towards the main room.

Cui Zigeng and Mr. Yan had already set the table and chopsticks. They leaned halfway in front of the door, listening intently to Mr. Guan's words.

Seeing Duan Yi's eyes, Cui Zigeng said with a dull face, "Come and eat, if the meat is cold, it won't taste good."

Mr. Guan rubbed his eyes, nodded, and slowly stood up, "It's time to eat. It's useless for Mr. Qi to wait for such a meal."

Practitioner Qi blushed and cleared his throat, "Who says I'm useless, I've already eaten melons!"

"Well, the melons my little master grows bear fruit all year round. If you sell them in winter, you should have a lot of money. Why are you crying and shouting and wanting to be an unfilial son?"

When Qi Langzhong heard it, the flowers exploded instantly.

Cui Zigeng's indifferent face, coupled with such words, was full of sarcasm.

"You control the sky and the land, and you still control me to plant melons? What if I am not a filial son and no one wants it, but if you are a filial son, someone will want it?"

Cui Zi didn't answer the words, lowered his eyes, went to the table and sat down.

Qi Lang was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered Cui Yu's death and Cui Zi was kicked out of Jiangnan Road, felt a slip of the tongue, and felt a little uncomfortable.

He hugged Mr. Guan's arm, "Let's talk while eating. I'm talking nonsense. For obedient people, it's fine if the left ear goes in and the right ear doesn't come out. We've known each other for so many years. Knowing my mouth, it is born to owe it!"

As he was talking, he observed Cui Zigeng. After watching for a long time, he didn't see why, so he simply ignored him.

Duan Yi looked speechless.

Look at Cui Zigeng's face, and what's the difference between going to see Guanyin in the temple?The same is the same for thousands of years.

Mr. Guan obviously saw something, he cleared his throat, and continued talking.

"After Zhongqiu came back, he said that Chu Ge likes scholars, and now he has made a marriage arrangement and is going to marry in the capital. After that, he never went out again, and only worked at home as some small institutions, or wooden horses. sort of thing."

"Father arranged several marriages for him, but he didn't agree. It's been like this for more than a year. That winter was very cold. It was rare for Jincheng to snow for half a month. Many people froze to death. .”

"Zhongqiu contracted the disease of wind-cold and died not long after."

All five people at the table fell silent.

Duan Yi picked up the jug on the table and filled Old Master Guan with wine.

Mr. Guan picked up the wine cup and drank it down, "It happened many years ago. Because Zhongqiu left early and had no heirs, not to mention the outsiders, even the younger generation of the Guan family may not know about it."

"Duan Yi, look at this, is it something you want to know?"

Duan Yi nodded heavily. She glanced at Cui Zigeng and said, "Maybe that Chu Ge really has nothing to do with me! I don't know why they all go to Guanyuan, but you should be more careful, old man. "

Cui Zi felt her sight even more, picked up the spoon, and scooped up a bowl of soup for everyone at the table.

"Drink the West Lake Beef Soup while it's hot. That Chuge really has something to do with you." Cui Zi even picked up the soup bowl, took a sip, and spoke surprisingly.

"What do you know?" Duan Yi asked with a complicated expression.

Cui Zigeng shook his head, "I don't know much. But, do you still remember the hairpin you gave me back then in return for saving my life?"

"That hairpin belonged to Chu Ge, and the dead Chu Guangyi was Chu Ge's younger brother."
