The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 292
The matchmakers broke through the threshold of the Guo Mansion, and Cai Yan couldn't stand the swarm of matchmakers after several days in a row.

The matter was actually not complicated. At this time, Cai Yan wanted to make a decisive decision, so he called Guo Ye over and asked him what he meant.

Cai Yan sitting in the room does not have the sparkle of jewels and jewels, but is only graceful and dignified.

Guo Ye knelt down in front of Cai Yan, with a gentle expression, and he couldn't see his attitude towards the marriage.

"Ye'er, your mother married your father voluntarily. Even so, at that time, your father was an enemy of the world, and prosperity and wealth were out of reach. If I commit myself to your father, at least no one will criticize you." Mother's love for your father. And right now, as the eldest son of the Guo family, you must be able to see your status from the attitudes of all kinds of people around you. Some people are afraid of the Guo family, some respect, some flatter, some cheat, and some Hate, at this time, it is difficult to tell whether other people's intentions are sincere or not. There are hundreds of family members who want to be matchmakers. Mother wants to tell you that whether it is now or in the future, you cannot choose a wife and concubine just based on your preferences. The best thing is to find someone who is sincerely thinking about you, but you can only see the truth in adversity, Guo Now that the family is in full swing, if you want to gain insight into people's hearts in the midst of tribulations, you may not have a chance."

Guo Ye listened carefully to Cai Yan's narration, and when the words fell, he said: "I remember my mother's teachings. These days, I have been thinking about getting married. After thinking about it, I realized that maybe it is not the time to get married. The world is not peaceful , the troubled times are endless, I don’t know how long these turbulent days will last. The child’s wish in his heart is to grow up and relieve his father’s worries and labors. He will go to the military camp to practice martial arts every day, and he will also go to Mr. Jia’s to learn. If at this time When you start a family, you may not be able to concentrate on anything else, and the children will be distracted by trivial matters at home, so if the mother and father can put this matter aside for a while, in a few years when the children have completed their studies, they will get married as soon as possible."

There are three major unfilial sons, and Guo Ye proposed to postpone the marriage. He himself has no confidence. If Guo Jia and Cai Yan insist on letting him get married, then he must have no reason to shirk.

Cai Yan only had him as a child. The mother would naturally feel relieved to see him get married earlier. She doesn't want to force him now, but she also has something to look forward to.

"Then Ye'er, when do you plan to get married? At least let mother know the truth, right?"

After thinking about it for a while, Guo Ye lowered his head and said softly, "After the child's double tenth celebration ceremony, we should get married as soon as possible. At that time, I will have to trouble my mother."

twenty……

That is five or six years later.

Cai Yan remained thoughtful for a moment, then smiled and said to Guo Ye: "Since you have plans, mother won't waste your time talking."

"Thank you, mother, for your understanding. The boy will leave."

Guo Ye saluted and got up and left the room.

Looking at his back, Cai Yan sighed, "Ye'er, do you want to learn from him even in getting married?"

With a slight smile, Cai Yan shook his head slightly.

Guo Jia's situation back then couldn't be compared with Guo Ye's now.

Whether it is the environment of the general trend of the world, or its own status capital.

The children of high-ranking officials and dignitaries usually start a family when they are fifteen years old. Guo Jia did not have the capital and thought to get married more than ten years ago. After all, it was the early stage of chaos in the world.

Gao Ding, the king of Yuejunyi in the south, wanted to draw a boundary with Guo Jia and rule, but he didn't get a positive response from Guo Jia, and instead killed all his envoys.

The two countries do not fight each other, and in Guo Jia's eyes, the war between King Yue Junyi and him is not a country at all.

Just because you call yourself a king doesn't mean you have the power and status of a king.

Gao Ding such a character, even if he is a king, is also a king of thieves who occupy the mountain as king.

If Guo Jia formally negotiates with him, or compromises with him, wouldn't it be ridiculous?

King Yuejunyi retreated in Yuejun County, and because of the heavy snow in winter, Guo Jia's army had to retreat to the north of Lushui for the time being, and then attack the south in the spring of the next year. "Forgiveness" will be conveyed to the ears of every southern citizen. In this way, the Gaoding congregation will rebel, and the Taiping Army will get twice the result with half the effort to destroy Gaoding.

Winter went to spring, the earth warmed up, and the Taiping Army once again embarked on a journey to crusade against the southern rebels.

At the same time, Guo Jia poured himself a cup of tea in the gazebo in the backyard of the mansion. It didn't take long for most of the pot of tea to go down.

The backyard was busy, people were in a hurry, and from time to time there were heart-shattering cries coming in and out of the delivery room.

Da Qiao is about to give birth, and Guo Jia, a big man, is definitely not easy to mix with. The other wives and concubines are waiting nervously inside and outside the room, but Guo Jia is sitting in the gazebo, looking heartless and not at all. in a hurry.

In this era, because of the low level of medical care, even if a wealthy family gives birth to a child, at least three out of ten babies will not live long, and the most common death of a baby is the "convulsion".

The help Guo Jia can provide is just some simple disinfection methods to prevent mothers and babies from being infected during childbirth.

"Your wife is screaming, you are about to have a child, why are you still here so calmly? Don't you really care about them?"

Zhu Rong didn't understand Guo Jia's current attitude.

Guo Jia's expression remained unchanged and he remained silent.

He didn't have to explain anything to Zhu Rong.

Nervous concern does not mean jumping up and down like headless flies, not causing trouble to others, not aggravating other people's nervous emotions, is the best help.

"Huh? Is it very hot? Why are there so many beads of sweat on the bridge of your nose?" Zhu Rong leaned in front of Guo Jia as if he had discovered a new continent, staring at the beads of sweat on his face in amazement.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was really sweaty.

A calm mind is naturally cool, and vice versa.

"Hehe, maybe the clothes are too thick." Guo Jia avoided Zhu Rong's gaze, picked up the teacup and wanted to drink it in one gulp, but the teacup tilted to his mouth, and there was no more water.

"It turns out that you are duplicity. You must be concerned about your wife in your heart."

Zhu Rong could see that Guo Jia was calm on the surface, but in fact he must be in a panic.

Putting down the teacup, Guo Jia looked at Zhu Rong's somewhat smug expression, and Guo Jia didn't care, lowered his eyes, and said indifferently: "Is there something wrong? Or, what's so ridiculous about it?"

Zhu Rong was taken aback, waved her hands in a hurry, her ponytail dangling from side to side, she said eagerly: "I didn't mean to make fun of you, I just think you are too hypocritical, if you care about it, say it, if you care about it, use actions to convey your concern Why do you sit here with an indifferent look?"

Dare to love, dare to hate, act rashly, perhaps this is the truest portrayal of frontier women.

Guo Jia picked up the teapot and poured water, and the teapot had already bottomed out after six minutes of pouring. After putting down the teapot, Guo Jia gently stroked the body of the cup with his fingers, and said leisurely: "Zhu Rong, you don't care about the consequences and don't consider other people's feelings. I can't."

Guo Jiayi's words are simple and shocking, no further explanation is needed.

He is the pillar of the family, if he panics, the Guo Mansion will have no peace.

Zhu Rong looked at the busy scene in the delivery room, and said quietly: "She must really want to know how you feel. If she knows that you are nervous about her, no matter how hard it is, she will definitely grit her teeth and persevere."

"she knows."

Guo Jia drank half a cup of tea in one gulp.

In his heart, feelings are not spoken, not shouting to the sky how much I love you, then the love is as deep as the sea. His wives and concubines are important in his heart, and a bowl of water is unearthly. Only the saints of pyrotechnics can do it.

Da Qiao has been with him through ups and downs for so many years, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the current Guandu, there is no need for each other to test their minds, there is no need for a tacit understanding, the foundation of mutual understanding has already enabled the two parties to understand each other without words.

"He's born, he's a young master. Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madame..."

The woman who delivered the baby ran out of the room happily, and the crying of the baby also plunged the long-suppressed backyard into a wave of laughter.

call

Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, got up and walked to the delivery room.

Zhu Rong looked at Guo Jia's back, pouted and thought for a long time but had no idea, Guo Jia was a hypocrite in her eyes, but it seemed that this hypocrisy was a rational and kind appearance.

It is a great joy for a newborn baby to live for three days, commonly known as "Xi San", because the mortality rate of newborn babies in this era is really astonishing.

There is also a full moon after the "happy three". After all, it is not reassuring for a baby to live for three days, and the full moon is an even greater joy.

"Xi San" was supposed to hold a grand banquet to entertain the guests, but Guo Jia just held a family banquet in the mansion in a low-key manner, which was considered more grand and festive than usual.

After giving birth, Da Qiao's body is still a little weak, with a pale and pale smile on her face all the time, not only has a bit of maternity brilliance, but also a bit of weak and morbid beauty.

The third son, Guo Jia named him Guo Yu, which means shining.

With her newborn son in her arms, Da Qiao had a very small appetite, and Guo Jia forced her to eat a lot of nourishing food before she could give up.

The joy of celebration permeated the dining table, only Xiao Qiao was happy for her sister, and at the same time kept harassing Guo Jia under the table with her mouth flattened.

"Ok?"

Guo Jia turned her head and saw Xiao Qiao's resentful eyes, feeling a little helpless.

Xiao Qiao pointed to her stomach, wanting to cry but not crying.

"The sisters all have children, but the concubine has none. Husband, you, you are partial."

Xiao Qiao lowered her voice and complained next to Guo Jia.

Guo Jia really had a headache, and having a baby is not something that can be done with effort.

After scratching Xiao Qiao's palm, Guo Jia tilted his head and murmured something in her ear, Xiao Qiao blushed and nodded gently.

Looking at Guo Jia suspiciously and expectantly, Xiao Qiao doesn't understand, does it have to be in the open-air garden to give birth?
When the family was enjoying themselves, Guo Ye suddenly stood up and came to Guo Jia, and said solemnly, "I have something to ask my father to agree to."

Seeing his serious expression, Guo Jia asked unexpectedly, "What's the matter?"

"My boy wants to join the army, even if he is a pawn."
