郭靖与黄蓉又惊又喜。欧阳锋叔侄与黄药师都吃了一惊。欧阳锋道:“七兄,此言差矣!药兄的千金巳许配舍侄。”洪七公道:“你这侄儿人品不端,怎配得药兄这花朵般的闺女?”
Guo Jing and Huang Rong were surprised and happy. Uncle Ouyang Feng and Herbalist Huang were surprised. Ouyang Feng said, “Brother Seven, that’s not right! Brother Yao’s daughter has been promised to be married to my nephew.” Hong Qi said, “Your nephew is not worthy. How can you deserve Brother Yao’s flower-like daughter?”
黄药师听了这话,心中一动,道:“取舍之间,倒叫兄弟好生为难，只得出题考两位世兄一考。哪位才高捷学,小女就许配给他。两位老友瞧着好也不好?”说着从怀里取出一本红绫面的册页来,要两人阅读背诵。
When Huang Yaoshi heard this, his heart moved and said, “The choice between the two brothers was difficult. He had to take an examination of the two brothers. Who was Gao Jiexue, and the little girl promised him. The two old friends looked good or bad?” He took out a red silk album from his arms and asked them to read and recite it.
洪七公怒道:“黄老邪,你明知我徒儿不通诗文,却来考他背书!”黄药师冷笑道:“七兄,你要到桃花岛逞能,还得学几年功夫。”郭靖见两人说僵了要动手,怕师父失陷在岛上,忙抢上一步,同意背书。
Hong Qigong angrily said, “Huang Laoxie, you know my disciple doesn’t understand poetry, but you came to test his endorsement!” Huang Yaoshi sneered: “Brother seven, you have to learn kung fu for several years before you can go to Peach Blossom Island.” Guo Jing saw that the two people said they were stiff and wanted to start, afraid that Shifu would fall on the island, so he rushed to take a step and agreed to endorse.
黄药师命欧阳克和郭靖两人并肩坐在石上,自己拿着那本册子,放在两人面前。欧阳克见封面上用篆文写着“九阴真经下卷”六字,心中大喜。郭靖却不认得这六个篆字。
Huang Yaoshi ordered Ouyang Ke and Guo Jing to sit on the stone side by side, holding the book in front of them. Ouyang Ke was very happy when he saw the words “the Nine Yin Manual Volume II” written in seal script on the cover. Guo Jing did not recognize the six seal characters.
黄药师揭开首页,郭靖只看几行,心中便怦的一跳,句句都是心中熟极而流的。想起周伯通说黄夫人临终前默写九阴真经,难道周大哥教我背诵的,竟是九阴真经么?不由呆呆出神。
When Huang Yaoshi opened the front page, Guo Jing only looked at a few lines, and his heart leaped. Every sentence was very familiar. Remembering that Zhou Botong said that Madam Huang wrote the the Nine Yin Manual silently before she died, was it the the Nine Yin Manual that Elder Brother Zhou taught me to recite? Can’t help but be dazed.
过了一会儿,黄药师揭完册页,欧阳克抢着先背,郭靖走出数十步。前面几句欧阳克背得一字不错,后面只背出十之一层。黄药师笑道:“难为你背出这许多。”
After a while, Huang Yaoshi unveiled the album, Ouyang Ke grabbed the back, and Guo Jing took dozens of steps. Ouyang Ke recited the first few sentences very well, but the back only recited a tenth of a layer. Huang Yaoshi laughed and said, “It’s hard for you to recite many.”
轮到郭靖背书,他一口气背到第四页,黄蓉和洪七公知他决无这等才智,喜中带惊。黄药师出了一会儿神,忽地厉声道:“梅超风失落的九阴真经,可是落到你手?”
It was Guo Jing’s turn to endorse, and he recited to the fourth page at a stretch. Huang Rong and Hong Qigong knew that he would never have such talent, and were surprised with joy. Huang Yaoshi lost his mind for a while and suddenly said, “Mei Chaofeng’s lost the Nine Yin Manual, but it’s yours?”
郭靖见他眼露杀机,甚是恐惧,道:“弟子不知。”黄药师见他脸上丝毫无诡诈之态,便断定是亡妻在冥中所授,朗声道:“好,七兄,锋兄,这是先室选中了的女婿。”郭靖当即跪下磕头,口称:“岳父!”
Guo Jing was very frightened when he saw that his eyes revealed the murder. He said, “I don’t know.” Seeing that there was no deceit on his face, Huang Yaoshi decided that it was his dead wife who gave it in the dark. He said in a loud voice, “OK, Brother Seven, Brother Feng, this is the son-in-law selected by the first room.” Guo Jing immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, “Father in law!”
