I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Pei Xiang met Ouyang Feng who got up early and practiced martial arts in the martial arts arena in the back mountain.

"Second brother, will I disturb you if I practice swordsmanship here?"

Ouyang Feng glanced at the small wooden sword in Pei Xiang's hand, only thought that her so-called sword practice was for strengthening her body, and didn't take it too seriously.His attention was focused on Pei Xiang's woman's bun and bright smile, and some inexplicable awkwardness quietly appeared in his heart.

"It's okay Sister-in-law, I'm ready to leave here."

Looking at the messy ground on one side of the venue and the sweat-stained dust on Ouyang Feng's body, Pei Xiang sincerely praised:

"Second brother is indeed diligent, talented and cherishes time, and will definitely become a generation of martial arts masters in the future."

For Pei Xiang's compliment, Ouyang Feng felt a little complacent. He raised his sword eyebrows, but managed to hold back the smile on his lips, and said humbly:

"Talents come forth in large numbers in the martial arts world, and the inheritance of martial arts from each sect is even more extensive and profound, each with its own merits. Feng's talent is limited, and he cannot fully inherit the essence of family martial arts, let alone inherit the past and open up the future. Only by relying on a few points To move forward diligently, so as not to fall too far behind others."

"Second brother, why should you be so self-effacing?" Pei Xiang smiled and touched the wooden sword in his hand, "Although I don't know martial arts, I still have some eyesight. My husband also praised the second brother a lot, saying that there is a second brother Here, the White Camel Villa can stand tall, and no one dares to bully it."

Hearing Pei Xiang mention Ouyang Zheng, Ouyang Feng blurted out and asked:

"Why do you come to the martial arts field to practice swords alone? Has my elder brother gone to the study again? You two...are you having a fight?"

Pei Xiang shook his head: "Yesterday's wedding banquet had a lot of business dealings. My husband was exhausted and needed a lot of rest, so he didn't get up early this morning. I told the servants not to disturb my husband's sleep when I went out."

"Brother hasn't gotten up yet?"

Ouyang Feng's expression was a little strange, he lowered his head and thought to himself:

"This is rare. Brother, he has been getting up early these years. He pays attention to the day's plan in the morning, and cherishes the daytime. It's not like he was so busy in the past... Yes, although his body seems to have improved a lot , but in fact, the inside has not recovered as before..."

Thinking of his elder brother's condition, Ouyang Feng's brows were filled with worry:

"Please trouble sister-in-law to worry about elder brother's health, Feng is very grateful."

Pei Xiang smiled warmly:

"Second brother, don't worry, this is my job. Before marrying into Ouyang's family, my husband has already told me clearly about his physical condition. I am also prepared and will definitely take good care of my husband."

Ouyang Feng didn't want to think too much about Pei Xiang's choice to marry into Ouyang's family despite knowing that Ouyang Zheng was seriously injured and incurable.

He knew that, as a brother, he should be moved and grateful for this matter, and he should be happy to see it come true.But for some reason, when he first learned of Pei Xiang's decision, he felt uncomfortable.

While talking to Pei Xiang, Ouyang Feng carefully studied her expression.

Seeing that when she mentioned Ouyang Zheng, not only did she not show the slightest resentment and indifference, but she treated her sickly husband with care and tenderness, Ouyang Feng suddenly felt somewhat complicated and indistinguishable emotions.

Gratitude, envy, bewilderment and a faint sense of loss all mixed together, so Ouyang Feng couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart:

"Miss Pei, no, sister-in-law, why did you agree to the marriage?"

Pei Xiang looked at the serious Ouyang Feng with some strangeness, and then realized that Ouyang Zheng hadn't told his younger brother the whole truth about their marriage.Therefore, Ouyang Feng still had some misunderstandings about his brother's marriage.

——I don't know how Ouyang Zheng told Ouyang Feng, but it's really good that one less person knows the agreement between me and him.

"We're engaged, the parents ordered the matchmaker to say, why didn't I agree to the marriage?" Pei Xiang found the answer that was the least likely to go wrong.

However, this answer made Ouyang Feng's face darken:

"But you weren't..."

——But you are not a person who is submissive and seeks perfection.

——I thought you would withdraw.

——I didn't expect that you would agree to a marriage destined to be a widow.

Ouyang Feng shut his mouth tightly and swallowed his unfinished words.

He knew in his heart that if he continued, he would cross the line, and he should not think about or ask some questions.

"Huh?" Seeing Ouyang Feng hesitate to speak, Pei Xiang blinked his eyes thoughtfully.

She was confused on the face, but her heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking whether it was her own illusion or not, some symptoms must be eradicated as soon as possible.

"Second brother, the first time I saw your brother, I felt as if I had seen him in the previous life, and my heart was kind."

Pei Xiang looked at the morning sun, sweet happiness filled the corners of his eyes and brows, and his tone was soft but firm:

"After he told me the whole truth, I felt that he was an upright person. I respected him and pitied him. I wanted to accompany him through the last few years and help him fulfill his long-cherished wish.

"Second brother, don't worry, I didn't forcefully agree to marry your brother, nor was I impulsive and soft-hearted, and I didn't want to hurt him. I am willing to live a good life with him. If you are not at ease, you can personally marry him." Ask your husband, he is a strong man with a gully in his chest, and he will never wrong himself or me."

"You think my elder brother is strong?"

"of course."

"But he is not in good health, and he can't practice martial arts that are too fierce or fierce. Any third-rate martial artist in the world can defeat him."

"The body is born, he can't choose. But his will is extremely strong, and his vision is wide enough. Moreover, he is smart, sharp, calm and meticulous, and enterprising. These are his strengths. Compared to the empty-headed reckless man, the eldest son is actually a strong man."

This confession made Ouyang Feng's ups and downs gradually calm down.

He closed his eyes slightly, Pei Xiang's soft and sincere voice was lingering in his ears, he clenched his fists before he knew it, and then loosened them quietly...

Some sourness and disappointment had just emerged and then slowly dissipated, even he himself hadn't clearly felt it. After the ripples, only gratitude and respect remained brewing in his chest.

——She really understands big brother, this... is really a good marriage.

After expressing his attitude, Pei Xiang looked up at the sky and realized that it was getting late, so he nodded goodbye to Ouyang Feng, and then went to practice basic sword moves with the wooden sword.

Ouyang Feng didn't stop for a while, he looked at Pei Xiang who was seriously holding the sword, and then disappeared into the martial arts arena with a flash of his figure.

Just as Pei Xiang swung the wooden sword tirelessly again and again, Ouyang Zheng slowly opened his eyes on the warm soft bed.When he woke up suddenly, he felt extremely relaxed and comfortable physically and mentally, and his mind was clear and active. It was a long time since he had such a good night's sleep.

only……

"Where's Madam?" Ouyang Zheng asked Qing Yu, a maid who came into the room with a water basin.

"Back to the eldest son, the eldest lady has gone to the martial arts field to practice swords."

Ouyang Zheng paused: "When did you go?"

"The eldest lady left the house half an hour ago, and she specifically told the servants not to disturb the eldest son's rest."

"Madam should be returning soon," Ouyang Zheng ordered in a low voice, "Go get someone to prepare hot water for bathing, Madam will need it after practicing sword."

"Yes, does the eldest son have breakfast first?"

"No hurry, I will use it with my wife. By the way, what about the second brother, did you still get up early today to go to the martial arts field?"

"Yes, the second son is practicing martial arts in the martial arts field before dawn."

"Madam met the second brother?"

"The slave does not know."

Ouyang Zheng glanced at the shadow outside the door:

"Bai Liu, what's your second brother's attitude towards your wife?"

The guard Bai Liu quietly appeared, and after saluting, he simply replied:

"When the eldest lady arrived at the martial arts arena, the second son had already finished practicing martial arts. He never hurt the elder lady, nor did he dislike the elder lady practicing sword in the martial arts arena. After the eldest lady started practicing swords, the second son left."

"I was worrying too much," Ouyang Zheng shook his head and said with a smile, "I have always regarded my second brother as a domineering teenager in his teens, and did not allow anyone to disturb my martial arts at will. But I forgot that my second brother has calmed down a lot these years , besides, the two of them are familiar with each other."

While talking, Ouyang Zheng took the warm and slightly damp cloth towel, and wiped his hands slowly:

"However, the martial arts field in the back mountain is still a bit far away, after all, it is not convenient for Madam to move around. Bai Liu, you take someone to clean up the courtyard next door and renovate it, so that Madam can practice swords in the future."

"Subordinates obey."

After Ouyang Zheng put on his outer robe, the maids Qinghe and Qingliu walked into the room holding a few bottles of freshly placed flowers. When they saw the bed and the two sets of quilts on the bed, they were slightly taken aback.

Ouyang Zheng didn't realize it. Seeing Bai Liu leave, he told Qing Yu and the others:

"Clean up the outer room in a while, I will live there from now on. From now on, the matter in my yard must not be mentioned to other people, including Second Young Master."

"Slaves take orders."

At this time, Pei Xiang came back from the outside and saw that Ouyang Zheng was fully dressed, so he smiled and said:

"I thought you'd sleep a little longer."

Ouyang Zheng looked at his rosy-faced little wife, and said in a relaxed tone:

"It's enough to sleep for so long. Your... sleeping fragrance last night is really good. It's been a long time since I slept through the night."

"But it can't be used too much," Pei Xiang said, "once a dozen days is fine, but if you use it too often, it will be harmful instead of beneficial."

Ouyang Zheng asked curiously, "Is it because I'm not in good health, or is it because everyone can't use it?"

"It really has something to do with the user's physique." Pei Xiang sat down and took a sip of warm water, "For ordinary people, it's fine to use it once every three or four days. For young warriors like the second brother who have enough energy and blood, it doesn't hurt to use it every day." .”

Ouyang Zheng sighed and changed the subject:

"I have someone prepare hot water, you go take a bath and change clothes first, after breakfast, I will introduce some guards and stewards to you."

"Don't be in a hurry. After breakfast, show me the pharmacy in Zhuangzi first. I want to see the storage of medicinal materials. By the way, there are also your pulse records and medications before you were injured. Eldest son, I You need to talk to the doctor in Zhuangzi, this is the most important thing."

Ouyang Zheng smiled gently, cupped his fists and said:

"Zheng couldn't wish for it. Miracle doctor Pei has a wonderful hand and kind heart, and he will be taken care of from now on."

Pei Xiang also pretended to return a salute, pretending to be tactful and sophisticated, and replied:

"It's easy to say, the eldest son paid the consultation money happily, and he didn't bargain. This genius doctor will definitely use his housekeeping skills, and Mr. Bao is satisfied."

The two chatted and laughed a few more words, and the hot water was ready there.

Pei Xiang went to the back compartment to take a bath and change clothes, while Ouyang Zheng picked up Pei Xiang's wooden sword and flicked the sword lightly, some couldn't understand why Pei Xiang didn't practice inner strength and mental skills.

——Is it because I haven't had time to practice, or I don't have good skills in my hands?

After breakfast, Pei Xiang got to know the old doctor in the village, and after a few conversations, he knew that the other party was a real Xinglin master.

The most exciting thing is to exchange ideas with peers, so Pei Xiang immediately put aside Ouyang Zheng who was accompanying him, and let him go to the study to deal with his own affairs.And she went to the pharmacy with the old doctor to see if they could discuss and improve Ouyang Zheng's treatment plan.

In the study, Ouyang Zheng was looking at the map on the east side of the Kunlun Mountains, when Ouyang Feng hurried in:

"Brother, how is your health?"

Ouyang Zheng asked puzzledly: "It's still the same, but it looks good, but the poison on the meridians and internal organs has not been cleared. Second brother, why did you suddenly ask about this, and still be in such a hurry?"

Ouyang Feng hesitated for a moment, his eyes wandered a bit.

He couldn't just say that after returning from the martial arts field in the morning, he suddenly realized that his sister-in-law practiced swords energetically, but his elder brother got up late for an unprecedented time, and last night was the wedding night of the two, how could it not make people think too much? ?

Ouyang Feng looked at his brother's complexion from the corner of his eye, and found no signs of fatigue such as dark circles or bags under the eyes, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, you...you still have to pay attention to recuperating and adjusting your breath. In the past few years, brother, I will definitely visit famous doctors to find a prescription for you to continue your life, so, brother, you must take care of yourself."

Ouyang Zheng smiled gently and nodded seriously:

"Second brother, don't worry, brother Wei is never someone who gives up easily, even if he has the worst plan, he will not ruin his body at will."

With his brother's assurance, Ouyang Feng cleared his throat:

"Well, brother, I plan to leave White Camel Mountain in a few days and go to the south for a while, do you think it's okay?"

"Leave now?" Ouyang Zheng thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "That's fine, second brother, let's go, but when the spring is warm next year, second brother will have to stay in Baituo Mountain for a long time. I plan to go to Xixia for my brother Let's go and deal with the business over there."

Ouyang Feng frowned: "Do you have to go there in person? How does it compare with home?"

"I'm going to discuss a few important deals this time, so I have to be in charge. But my second brother, don't worry too much. I will take Xiang'er with me. With her by my side, my body will definitely be able to hold on." .”

Ouyang Feng pursed his lips, knowing that he couldn't stop his brother's decision, so he simply nodded.

He was about to leave when he heard his brother speak again:

"Second brother is not too young. If I go to the south this time, if I meet a sweet girl, I can marry her back. Before I close my eyes for brother, if I can see my second brother get married and have children, it will be a blessing. "

Ouyang Feng was silent for a while:

"I've devoted myself to studying martial arts, and I don't have any idea about getting married. I have never... met a woman who I want to marry back. I'm afraid I will disappoint my elder brother."

Ouyang Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, lowered his head and wrote a few words in a careless tone:

"It doesn't matter, I can understand the second brother's thoughts. However, the matter of marriage is always uncertain, and I hope the second brother cherishes the predestined person. If you meet a girl who admires you, don't be too indifferent and make people sad."
