The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 283
"Sister, why don't you go to Ye'er's martial arts competition?"

In the backyard of the Guo Mansion, apart from Guo Jia's wives and concubines, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao were also present.

With needles and threads in their hands, they were busy sewing Guo Jia's dress for the New Year's celebration.

The new year is coming, there are always countless celebrations that require Guo Jia to appear. Although Guo Jia is not extravagant, he is not to the point of being poor. Clothes for Guo Jia are often made of medium cloth.

Cai Yan is not good at needlework, so he just helped to collect the thread ends. Facing Zhen Tuo's question, Cai Yan smiled and said, "The family members of the officials didn't go, so how can I go to cheer for my son?"

Zhen Tuo didn't understand Cai Yan's thoughts, she said softly: "If it's my child, no matter what others think of it, I will be there in person."

In the past two years, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao suddenly became demure. Although they still ran to Guo's mansion every three days in the name of Zhen Jiang, everyone knew who they were actually visiting.

They no longer pestered Guo Jia, but just took a look at Guo Jia in the dark. Guo Jia was tired and came up to rub his shoulders and beat his legs. Guo Jia was thirsty and poured tea and water. In front of him, every time they sneezed, they would ask them to take two pieces of clothes to keep Guo Jia warm. If they sweated a little in summer, the two of them would silently fan him.

Anyway, no more gossip, and express their hearts with actions.

Big Qiao, who had a big belly, yawned. Seeing this, Little Qiao stepped forward and snatched the needle and thread from her hand, and persuaded: "Sister, go back to the room and rest. You are pregnant, so don't worry about it."

Da Qiao was about to refuse, Zhen Jiang, Cai Yan and Diao Chan also persuaded her in unison. Da Qiao was not stubborn, so she left the room obediently.

Xiao Qiao stared blankly at Da Qiao's increasingly bloated figure, her eyes were very complicated, a little disappointed and a little envious.

"Is Xiao Qiao envious when she sees her sister is pregnant?"

Zhen Jiang joked.

Faced with the teasing looks of the women, Xiao Qiao admitted it frankly, and said with a bit of annoyance: "It's a pity that I don't live up to my stomach."

Xiao Qiao looked at her flat stomach and was extremely frustrated.

At this time Cai Yan suddenly said: "I think my husband is hiding something from us."

The girls stopped what they were doing and looked at Cai Yan puzzled.

It was impossible for Guo Jia to tell them everything. They knew everything about family matters, and they never interfered with business affairs. The concept of concealing things was somewhat vague.

Cai Yan tilted his head slightly and thought for a while before saying: "Even in ordinary families, it is common for a wife and concubine to give birth to several children, but these years, I only gave birth to Ye'er, my sister is only Jin'er, and Diao Chan has Yingying." , don't you find it strange?"

The feudal superstition of the ancients was very heavy on things like having children. Sometimes they depended on God’s will, and sometimes they depended on fate. Anyway, women who can’t bear children will be criticized to varying degrees, either by words or actions, or even by some. The family also divorced their wives and concubines.

Zhen Jiang Diaochan didn't think this way before, she felt that giving birth to children is a blessing from God, and no matter how many children there are, it is also a blessing from God.

But Cai Yan found it very strange. Other princes, such as Cao Cao, had many wives and concubines, as well as many children, especially Cao Cao's sons, who had more than [-] sons, even if they were not counted as daughters. Got close to two kids.

Among Guo Jia's wives and concubines, each wife and concubine did not have a second child after giving birth.

"Could it be that the husband can manage women to have children?"

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Xiao Qiao's face.

If Guo Jia has this ability, then she will definitely pester Guo Jia to make her pregnant at night.

Cai Yan smiled bitterly: "I-I'm not sure about this, but is it a coincidence?"

It is indeed not a coincidence. Even though Guo Jia does not have the ability to make a woman pregnant, at least he has a lot of experience in preventing pregnancy by knowing the menstrual cycle of wives and concubines.

Guo Jia is too lazy to explain this kind of thing to them. Guo Jia can’t do it if he has the ready-made truth to make him come up with a theory. Anyway, he can know when the woman is ovulating and fertile. The specific reasons and How he knew it is not clear with his mouth.

It is true that a full house of children and grandchildren is a happy event, but Guo Jia does not have so much energy to teach the children. Similarly, he does not pursue prosperity. Every wife and concubine has the right to be a mother. If she becomes pregnant, Guo Jia will avoid her in the future. Have intercourse during the fertile period.

If there are many children, there will be more right and wrong in the future. Treating people equally is just a beautiful and objective idea. Everyone has emotions of likes and dislikes. After the children and grandchildren grow up, Guo Jia will inevitably behave favorably.

Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao seemed incompatible with the topics discussed by Guo Jia's wives and concubines, and they put down their needlework in a dispirited manner, and left in a low voice.

After leaving Guo's mansion, the two women looked at each other and sighed.

On the way back home with a heavy heart, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao didn't know that they had been targeted by a group of people in the dark.

As soon as they turned the corner, they were surrounded by more than ten people. Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao looked at this group of uninvited guests, and saw that they were obviously not Han Chinese, but they were wearing Han Chinese clothes. The two knew something was wrong and were about to shout , but someone covered his mouth from behind.

A woman dressed in common people's clothes stood behind the two girls, covering Zhen Tuo Zhendao's mouth on one left and one on the right, poked her head out from between the two girls, and asked coldly, "You two, are you Guo Jia?" Who is it? Is it Guo Jia's wife and concubine?"

She heard that Guo Jia's wives and concubines were unparalleled in beauty, and he had a pair of sisters who worked together as a husband, and Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao were somewhat similar in appearance and beautiful as flowers, and although their clothes were not expensive, they were definitely not ordinary people's attire.

At this moment, their minds suddenly seemed to be stupid, Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao broke away from the woman's hand, and said confidently: "Yes."

The corner of the woman's mouth raised a cruel smile, and said lightly: "That's good."

Just when they were about to take the two women away, the group suddenly found that countless troops had sprung up around them.

And the passers-by who pretended to be common people around them also gathered together, there were hundreds of them.

Xiao Ren frowned unceasingly. He led the guards to keep a close eye on the movements of this group of people, while guarding against their disadvantages to Guo Jia, but at the same time wanted to pull out big fish.

Xiao Ren is sure to catch them all before they harm Guo Jia or people in Guo's residence.

But no one expected that this group of people sneaked into Chengdu, hid in the dark for several days, and kidnapped the two young ladies of the Zhen family.

"The thieves report their names."

Xiao Ren led his army to surround hundreds of people who were misbehaving, but he couldn't tell who was the leader.

Facing the situation of being surrounded on all sides, the group all set their sights on the woman holding Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao.

The woman raised her chin with a look of arrogance, and said coldly to Xiao Ren: "My name is Zhu Rong! I have two wives of Guo Jia in my hand, don't you dare to act rashly?"

Xiao Ren didn't know who Zhu Rong was, and he didn't care.

His eyes were full of doubts, and he said lightly: "You are mistaken, they are not my lord's wife."

Zhu Rong was taken aback for a moment, but saw Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao lower their heads, not knowing whether Xiao Ren's words were true or not.

But she believed that Xiao Ren was talking nonsense.

"Hmph, they admitted it themselves. Where is Guo Jia? Let him come to see me."

The person who went to inform Guo Jia was Xiao Yi, who had gone to the barracks as early as Xiao Ren's action.

If Zhu Rong hadn't caught Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao by mistake, Xiao Ren would have planned to continue fishing.

Because of the relationship between Zhen Tuo and Zhen Dao, it would be impossible not to disturb Guo Jia.

military camp
At this moment, the scene had become very quiet, only a couple of young men on the ring.

砰

Guo Ye was knocked down again, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and there was blood around his mouth.

Dianman walked up to Guo Ye and said softly, "Master Ye, give up."

"I, I don't."

Guo Ye wiped the blood from his mouth, stood up again, and waved his fists with all his strength facing Dianman.

But he was already unable to stand firmly, and a warrior with an unstable foot has always had little combat power at all, and Dianman easily knocked him down again.

After rolling twice on the stage, Guo Ye's trembling arms still barely supported him to get up.

"My lord, this..."

Qin Mi showed a look of unbearable expression. It was originally a point-and-shoot contest, but it has developed to this point. If the fight continues, even if no one is killed, the matter will not end well.

Everyone present held their breaths, paying attention to the calm Guo Jia on the one hand, and on the other hand watching Dian Wei's reaction.

Your son beat the lord's son like this, can you still watch the battle with peace of mind?Not even a word?
Dian Wei is also very calm, he is not a person who is good at flattering, let alone disdain this way.

There is no difference in status when you compete on stage, only winning or losing.

Even if Guo Jia came to the stage to compete with him, Dian Wei would not deliberately lose to Guo Jia because of Guo Jia's status.

Guo Jia has this self-knowledge, so he never competes with generals.

The difference between strong and weak, the fist is only an insignificant part.

Snapped

The trembling hands could no longer support his body, Guo Ye lay on the ring, bloodstains all around him.

Guo Jia stood up suddenly, and everyone around him watched him nervously to see what he was doing.

Is it to punish Dianwei and his son?

Guo Jia took off his coat while walking onto the ring, went to Guo Ye and put the coat on him, wrapping his body in his arms.

Guo Ye leaned against Guo Jia's arms, burst into tears, and choked up, "Father, I'm sorry."

He didn't want to lose, especially in front of Guo Jia.

With a look of love in his eyes, Guo Jia reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "You didn't disappoint me."

The outcome has been decided, but Dianman was at a loss at this moment, standing in front of Guo Jia as if he had done something wrong and said in a muffled voice: "Master, I, I..."

Guo Jia didn't blame him, but helped Guo Ye up. Guo Ye, who was wearing a coat, raised his hand with difficulty, took the initiative to hold Dianman's hand, and said seriously: "Next time, I won't lose."

Seeing the sincerity in Guo Ye's eyes, Dianman grinned, scratched his head and said, "Master Ye is really a difficult guy."

Guo Jia turned around with his son in his arms, stood on the ring and said to Dianwei: "Come on, you have someone who will succeed you. In the future, father and son will fight side by side. It will be a beautiful story through the ages."

Dian Wei stood up and glanced at Dian Man who was somewhat complacent, and said lightly: "Why does he still want to go to the battlefield? It would be embarrassing to go."

Dianman's self-satisfaction was instantly shattered by Dianwei, and he walked off the ring silently with a mournful face.

Just when Guo Jia was about to burst out laughing, his eyes suddenly passed over the audience, and Xiao Yi rode over to the gate of the barracks.

His expression became a little dignified. Guo Jia knew that Xiao Yi would not ignore the barracks regulations and come galloping if it was not important.
