The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 247
Zhen Jiang's face was pale, she bit her lower lip, and stared angrily at Zhen Yao.

"Third Brother, isn't Jin'er not good enough? How many children can compare to him?"

Children are the pride of their parents, Zhen Jiang is proud of Guo Jin, there is nothing wrong with that.

Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao also helped out.

"Yes! Those who have met Jin'er all say that Jin'er is a child prodigy."

"Third brother, you and Jin'er couldn't even speak clearly when you and Jin'er were this age."

"That's right, third brother, why do you say that Jin'er is not good?"

……

Zhen Yao's gaze turned cold slightly, facing Zhen Jiang's gaze.

"If you compare Jin'er with the children of ordinary people, I have nothing to say. But, keep your eyes open to see what Mr. Ye has done in the days before and after the lord's return to Chengdu! An orphan of a fallen soldier who moved to Taoyuan Village Young Master Ye and Master Xi, General Xu, General Dian, General Gan and others’ eldest sons went to help together. Master Xi was sick in bed, and Young Master Ye went to visit the sick every morning and evening, and even stayed outside Master Xi’s house. I If it were the lord, at that time, I wouldn't be in the mood to listen to your son reading nonsense poems!"

The level of people is afraid of competition and comparison.

Although Zhen Yao knew that at least half of Guo Ye's actions were inspired by Cai Yan, but from the essence of the matter, Guo Ye's actions were well received by outsiders.

Zhen Jiang, who had just stopped crying, cried bitterly again, as if she was heartbroken by Zhen Yao's words.

"Third brother, I am serious."

Zhen Yan came out to smooth things over. Zhen Jiang went back to her mother's house to seek help, but now she was scolded by Zhen Yao. If things continued like this, things would only get worse.

Although outsiders, even Cai Yong, talk about Guo Jin proudly, Zhen Yao is actually very disappointed in this nephew.

"Big sister, I advise you to think about it carefully. How did the lord rely on his current foundation? It is not literary talent, not fame, but hard work and people's hearts. After all this is said, how to teach Mr. Jin is up to you. .”

Zhen Yao didn't say a word, and perhaps no one in the contemporary era could compare to Guo Jia in his essays. He thinks this is because he has seen Guo Jia write amazing poems with a splash of ink.

Of course, this was the impression Guo Jia left on him, not that Guo Jia really had so much ink in his stomach.

Anyway, writing too many poems does not mean good literary talent, to be famous through the ages, a quatrain is enough.

Guo Jia doesn't pursue the fame of scholars, and he doesn't want to be a person who seeks fame. Zhen Yao sees all these things. He just thinks that Guo Jia scoffs at poetry and prose. From another perspective, Guo Jia wants to survive and develop. Even when it is in a desperate situation, it will never be possible to change the situation by reciting poems and prose.

Now is a troubled time, a time of war where gold and iron lie to each other to kill you and kill you.

It's not a peaceful and prosperous world where talented men and beautiful women go boating on the lake, sing the wind and enjoy the moon.

Zhen Yao's words were very serious and hurtful. He hoped to wake Zhen Jiang up. The son is yours, so how to teach it is your business, but don't feel wronged after showing embarrassment.

"Big sister, go see the lord in person, and calmly apologize to the lord for Jin'er. You have been married to the lord for so many years, and the lord will not disregard feelings. Besides, the lord also hopes that you can understand what it means to treat Jin'er." It will be beneficial in the future, don't go to see the lord crying, it will only upset the lord."

Zhen Yan persuaded Zhen Jiang to leave, some things are very simple, people in the game will be at a loss if they think too much.

Zhen Jiang thought Guo Jia would take her anger out on her, but she was wrong.

At night, Guo Jia returned to the mansion near midnight. Zhen Jiang waited for a long time, when Guo Jia entered the door, she greeted him.

The husband and wife have respected each other as guests for so many years, perhaps this is the first time that conflicts have arisen and a cold war has broken out.

Looking at Zhen Jiang's haggard face and red and swollen eyes, Guo Jia's heart ached slightly, and he was relieved to see that she was not crying or fussing.

Men who try to reason with a crying woman never make sense.

Even if you are not soft-hearted, you will be confused by tears.

"Go to the study and sit down."

Without going back to the bedroom, Guo Jia walked towards the study, and Zhen Jiang followed behind with a calm expression.

Pushing open the door of the study, lighting candles, the room was bright, Guo Jia sat on the armchair, rubbed his temples and closed his eyes, saying: "Have you figured it out?"

Zhen Jiang walked up to Guo Jia, knelt down, put his head on Guo Jia's lap, and said softly: "Although Jin'er is young, she is really ignorant. I have a responsibility to dote on him. Please punish him." .”

"What kind of punishment? I'm not the one who feels sorry for me in the end? I understand Jin'er's feelings, but he is my son, so he must be more sensible and sensible than others. Reading and reading, isn't it just knowledgeable?"

Guo Jia stroked Zhen Jiang's hair, his eyes gradually softened.

Zhen Jiang was gently caressed by Guo Jia, the tension in her heart gradually dissipated, and she even felt a little excited when she heard Guo Jia's words.

"Jin'er just hopes to be praised by her husband."

Guo Jia leaned on the chair and sighed: "I know, how could I not understand. But I hope he can guard against arrogance and impetuosity, talent is not for showing off."

It is an enviable thing for a person to be talented, but if the amazing ability is only used for the pursuit of fame and fortune, it becomes a very regrettable and deplorable thing.

Zhen Jiang stood up slowly, snuggled into Guo Jia's arms, pressed her tender cheek against Guo Jia's neck, and said in a low voice, "My husband hasn't hurt Jiang'er for a long time."

Leading the Northern Expedition to capture Guanzhong, Guo Jia did not return home for more than a year. During this period, Diao Chan was taken as a concubine by Guo Jia in Chang'an, and Cai Yan also stayed in Chang'an for a winter. Only this regular wife, Zhen Jiang, had been separated from Guo Jia for more than a year. I miss Guo Jia more than anyone else.

If someone thinks that Zhen Jiang, who will be [-] in a year or so, is already old, Guo Jia definitely disagrees!

The weather is sweltering, and Cai Yan has not been sleeping very well recently. She drank water in the middle of the night and faintly heard moans. Standing by the bed and looking at the dark night, she smiled lightly and sighed while wearing a light veil: "It's really his style. It makes people uneasy when they make a fuss."

I remembered that when she and Guo Jia had just fallen in love, at the foot of Taihang Mountain, Guo Jia always took Cai Yan by the riverside in the name of mountaineering, doing whatever he wanted...

At that time, I really forgot all the etiquette and went crazy with him, and made troubles together. If it wasn't for the background of the chaos in the world, maybe, I would be happier.

"It seems that the haze in the mansion has dissipated."

Cai Yan finished drinking the water, went back to bed again, fell asleep with a slight smile, and woke up at dawn.

In the afternoon of the next day, Guo Jia happened to be free today, splashing ink in the lobby of the mansion, writing like wind.

Zhen Jiang brought Guo Jin to the hall, Guo Jin was a little afraid of Guo Jia, and hid behind Zhen Jiang for a long time without showing her head.

Pulling his son out from behind, and pushing him encouragingly, Zhen Jiang smiled and encouraged his son.

Guo Jin walked up to Guo Jia with her head down, knelt down and said, "Father, my son made a mistake, please forgive me, Daddy."

Snapped

Guo Jia just put away the pen, put the pen on the pen stand, looked up at Guo Jin who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "Get up, let me ask you, do you know why I beat you that day?"

Guo Jin pursed his lips and nodded.

The truth, not only Zhen Jiang, Cai Yong also told him.

He was unhappy and avoided Guo Jia, firstly because he was afraid that Guo Jia would get angry with him, and secondly, he didn't expect the reunion of father and son to have that result.

But through this incident, he also understood why the adults were full of praise for him, but his peers and some older boys preferred Guo Ye, the taciturn elder brother.

The elder brother who has always been inconspicuous and does not even see any specialties is a model who knows everything about the general public, and he has not done anything wrong without being in the limelight. It is a difficult thing to do.

"It's good if you know it. I won't say much about the truth. Come, come here and take a look at the work your father just finished."

Guo Jia waved to him, and Guo Jin walked over suspiciously, came to Guo Jia's side, and looked down at the bamboo slips on the table.

Before the ink was dry, Guo Jin read softly: "If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never return. If you don't see it, the mirror in the high hall is sad and white, and the morning is like blue silk and the evening is snow. Life is full of joy, Don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the gold is gone..."

Guo Jin's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help picking up the bamboo slips and reading them over and over again.

Guo Jia doesn't even blush, plagiarism can be used by him once he corrects it. In his current status, if he can't even do shameless things like plagiarism, he is too hypocritical.

He may not be omnipotent in memorizing Tang poetry and Song Ci, but he has a lot of famous lines through the ages.

Write it casually, pinch it with your own hands.

"Father, this, my boy, can I take it away? My boy wants to show Mr. Cai."

Guo Jin's admiration for Guo Jia's eyes is full of expectations.

"Go, keep it if you like it."

Guo Jia smiled gently. Seeing Guo Jin happily running out holding the bamboo slips, he felt a kind of warmth from the bottom of his heart.

"Hey, slow down, don't fall."

Zhen Jiang shouted at Guo Jin from behind.

Guo Jia who came to Zhen Jiang's side put her arms around her shoulders, looked at Guo Jin's back, and said softly: "Let him run, don't be afraid of the child falling, as long as he can get up."

Zhen Jiang leaned on Guo Jia's shoulder, unconsciously filled with happiness.

At dusk on the western mountain, a fast horse drove into Chengdu, and the city gate order interrogated it upon seeing this.

The man on the horse was sent by Zhou Tai, and he said urgently to the city gate: "The imperial court of Xudu issued an imperial decree to announce to the world, I am here to deliver a letter to the lord!"
