Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 270
Seeing Hua Tuo's terrified expression, Guo Jia was also surprised. He hurriedly waved his concubine Ji out, asked Hua Tuo to sit down and said, "Sir, what happened?"

Hua Tuo was still in shock, he calmed down for a while, and his breath became more even. He was about to open his mouth to speak, but he hesitated at the end.

Seeing Hua Tuo's appearance, Guo Jia took the cup and poured Hua Tuo a glass of wine.

Hua Tuo suddenly recalled, and whispered: "Tuo has something to do, please ask Mr. Feng Xiao for help."

Guo Jia listened and said with a smile, "I'm a junior, I really don't dare to call myself in front of Mr. Yuan Hua, what is it that made Mr. Yuanhua lose his composure?"

Hua Tuo licked his lips, finally made up his mind, and said, "Just now I went to the residence of the envoy, and broke through a terrible thing."

"The most troublesome thing is that I made a slip of the tongue and let many people know!"

After hearing this, Guo Jia became interested and said, "What makes you so nervous?"

Hua Tuo lowered his voice, "Then Mrs. Cai is pregnant!"

When Guo Jia heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Then Mrs. Cai who was taken captive by Sun?"

"That's normal. His appearance is so outstanding. After he was caught by Sun Ce, why didn't he get involved?"

Hua Tuo snorted, "Mr. Feng Xiao didn't understand what I meant."

"If that's the case, that's all."

"But I look at her pulse, and it's only a month before she's pregnant!"

"What!" Guo Jia immediately realized, "You mean, sir, she was only recently conceived?"

"One month, who is so bold?"

He counted the time with his fingers, and suddenly came to his senses: "Isn't this time around Chinese New Year?"

"In those days, only female family members came and went in the palace, except for"

"Emissary?"

Hua Tuo said with a bitter face: "There is me!"

"I saw a doctor for Mrs. Zhen in those few days!"

"Mr. Feng Xiao knows why I panic. I exposed the envoy's affairs. Judging by Mrs. Zhen's expression, I obviously don't know!"

"Now the old man is going to die. I have been to the mansion too. I am afraid that the envoy will accuse me of crimes!"

After hearing this, Guo Jia laughed dumbfoundedly and said, "You suspect that you won't be able to admit the matter with Mrs. Cai, but you will push it to Mr. Cai instead?"

"Mister, did you think too much? Although Shijun is lustful, he really wants to fall in love with Mrs. Cai, so he just wants to marry him. Why hide it from Mrs. Zhen?"

Hua Tuo sighed, "I don't know, but this kind of thing is disgraceful. After the old man has confirmed the truth, there will be troubles in the future. I'm afraid it will be affected."

Guo Jia sighed, "Mr. Yuanhua, the authorities are delusional."

"How old is sir?"

Hua Tuo replied honestly: "Fifty one."

Guo Jia suppressed a smile, "Mr. is hale and hearty and looks like a man in his prime. Obviously he is well-preserved."

"But have you ever thought, Mr. Cai, that although Mrs. Cai is not young, she is only in her early thirties. If she wants to have an affair with someone, she will definitely find someone around the same age."

"Unless the husband coerces her, but with his reputation of practicing medicine for decades, I'm afraid no one would believe that the husband would do such a thing, right?"

"That's why even if the son finds someone to top the vat, he won't find Mr."

"So at best, sir, it's a slip of the tongue, and the young master won't talk about it."

After hearing this, Hua Tuo felt relieved, wiped his sweat and said, "Mr. is right, but Tuo thought too much."

He was still a little worried: "In this case, does this matter have nothing to do with the old man?"

Guo Jia thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

"If the young master really had an affair with this Cai family, but did not give her a title, it means that he still has some concerns."

"But I'm obviously interested in keeping her in the mansion. I'm afraid I didn't expect Mrs. Cai to be pregnant."

"The next step, Young Master, is to admit it directly, or to cover up the matter first."

"I thought that if the young master didn't want to admit it for the time being, he would find a way to take the blame, but the only one who can't be Mr.

"Because the husband knows when Mrs. Cai is pregnant, it is easy to cause problems if the husband takes the blame, so the son will probably find someone else."

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Hua Tuo was finally relieved, and couldn't help stretching out his thumbs and praised: "Mr. Feng Xiao is indeed very wise and has insight into people's hearts!"

While the two were chatting and laughing, the door was knocked again, and Guo Jia said, "Come in!"

The concubine Ji from before opened the door and came in. She said, "Someone came from the envoy's mansion and said he wants my husband to go."

After hearing this, Guo Jia got up and said with a smile: "It seems that because of this matter, the envoy wants me to make an idea."

He casually asked, "Who is here?"

The concubine replied: "Your personal guard Sun Li."

Guo Jia stopped suddenly.

Sun Li rarely left Yuan Xi's side, so why did he come to call him?

Wouldn't it be enough to send a servant normally?

He and Hua Tuo looked at each other, their faces gradually turning pale.

Yuan Xi asked himself to come over, because he wanted to find a scapegoat, right?
This is not looking for me, is it?
Ma Dan, why are you looking for me? Is it because of my bad reputation?

The more Guo Jia thinks about it, the more likely it is. He has a reputation of being lecherous, so who else can he look for?
Guo Jia was dumbfounded, and after coaxing him for a long time, did the pot finally fall on him?
Hua Tuo also felt that something was wrong, stood up and said, "Shall I accompany Feng Xiao?"

Guo Jia sighed, "It doesn't matter whether Mr. Yuan Hua goes or not at this time, I should go alone and see how the young master will do."

Yuan Xi was waiting in the room when he saw Sun Li come in and said that Guo Jia had arrived.

When Guo Jia entered, he found that Zhen Mi was there, and he was surprised, what is going on?

Yuan Xi and Guo Jia exchanged a few words, first talking about Xian Yufu's arrival.

After hearing what Yuan Xi said to Xian Yufu, Guo Jia said: "My lord's response is not a problem. Now that there are many forces in Youzhou, Yan Rou and Xian Yufu can indeed be won over."

He just wanted to say that if Gongsun Zan's widow, Hou Shi, could be used, things would be easier.

Now Gongsun Zan's remnant forces are like bereaved dogs, everyone in Youzhou is screaming and beating, some are forced to live in various places to hide and dormant, some occupy a place, and now only Yuan Xi has the ability to annex it.

For one thing, except Yuan Xi, no one dared to accept these remnants of the party, because it was tantamount to openly opposing Yuan.

Second, after Qu Yi was killed, the Xiandeng soldiers under his command were either scattered and collected by Yuan Shao, or simply fled. Many people simply took refuge in Gongsun Zan in order to avenge Qu Yi.

Gongsun Zan didn't dare to trust them completely, so he sent these people to Youzhou to defend the city, so he didn't appear in the battle of Yijing.

If Yuan Xi finds these people and uses Qu Yi to lead them, he will definitely get an extremely loyal team.

But Guo Jia thought about it again, and swallowed the words again. There needs to be a legitimate reason for incorporating Gongsun Zan's forces.

Because after all, the Yuan family eliminated Gongsun Zan single-handedly, and if Yuan Xi wanted to have an explanation, he must give the Hou family a title.

The most direct thing is to marry the Hou family. This is what Cao Cao and other princes have done, but Guo Jia knew that if he said this at this time, it would be a bit embarrassing.

After all, was it really because of Yan Rou and Xian Yufu that Yuan Xi called him here at this time?
Sure enough, as Guo Jia expected, Yuan Xi said a few more words, and changed the subject: "Do you know what happened in my inner house, sir?"

Guo Jia came to his mind, he bit the bullet and said, "Know a little bit."

Yuan Xi couldn't help but glanced at Zhen Mi, he thought Guo Jia is really a smart person, he guessed what he said before he said anything.

He was still not sure, and asked, "Madam Cai?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Exactly."

Yuan Xi didn't expect Guo Jia to admit it so readily, and said, "What do you think Mister should do?"

Guo Jia gritted her teeth secretly, you asked me what to do, doesn't it mean I'm going to take the blame?

You hammer, let me give you ideas all day long, don't tell me, do you let me wipe your ass for this kind of thing?

If I had known how tiring being your counselor, I should have just lay down!
Regardless of Guo Jia's conflict between heaven and man, Yuan Xi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhen Mi proudly.

Look, I'll say it was Guo Jia who did it!
When Zhen Mi saw her, she apologized in her heart: "It turns out that the concubine made a mistake to blame the husband."

She turned to Guo Jia: "My concubine would venture to ask, are Mr. and Mrs. Cai in love with each other?"

Guo Jia thought that it really came, the son is really vicious, if he doesn't ask, let his wife ask, he really deserves to be a hero!
He stammered: "Jia, Jia, Jia is ashamed."

That's all, motherfucker, the young master is not a person, so I can only admit it by pinching my nose, who made me have a bad reputation at ordinary times.

After hearing this, Yuan Xi asked doubtfully, "Listening to what Mr. said, are you planning to give Mrs. Cai a title?"

"Then what about the child in her stomach?"

Guo Jia thought, who knows what to do, you want me to raise your own child?

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, could this be the chance Yuan Xi gave him?

Back then the young master wanted to adopt his own son Guo Yi as his adoptive son, Guo Yi would benefit a lot from it in the future, but now the young master asked him to raise his own son for him, isn't this a kind of exchange?
Guo Jia became puzzled, raised her head slightly to look at Zhen Mi, and wondered if this girl from the Zhen family was so jealous, she couldn't usually see it?
He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he felt that he had completely figured it out!

If Mrs. Cai gave birth to a son, the child would be the eldest son in the future.

However, this created a huge problem. Although the law of the Han Dynasty stipulated the eldest son inheritance system, it was not uncommon for the concubine to inherit the family business.

Because the eldest son is too prone to accidents, death, illness, and conspiracy, there will be countless problems surrounding the family property, and it is okay for ordinary people's families, because there are not many inherited things.

But the bigger the family, the greater the temptation of family property. At the level of the emperor, in order to compete for the position of emperor, the things involved are even more bloody and cruel.

At present, Mrs. Zhen has no heirs, but Mrs. Cai has one instead. If it is really a son, things will be troublesome.

If Mrs. Zhen has no son, then things will be even more terrifying. Who will inherit the position of the Yuan family, will Mrs. Zhen be like Queen Lu in the end?
Taking the Han Dynasty as an example, although the queen could not give birth, she could recognize the birth of other concubines as her own child, but the child's biological mother, in order to prevent future influence on her own parents and children, seized the queen's power and was often killed early.

In the past, Liu Xie, Liu Bian, and the Queen Mother He and the Queen Mother Dong fought over this matter. In the end, Liu Xie was the only one who died, and the world was in chaos.

It was only then that Guo Jia realized that this was a dispute over family property and status, and the young master was planning a big deal, so he must guard against such things.

Only then did Guo Jia understand that the young master asked himself to take the blame for this matter, it was out of trust in himself!
