The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 294
Because it was just an ordinary day, there were not many people who came to the Tianshi Palace to pray for blessings and worship God. They walked up the stairs in twos and threes. Guo Jia's arrival did not cause riots and did not drive away the people with great fanfare. Guo Jia held the baby in his arms. The big Qiao went up the mountain, and there were guards on both sides to open the way.

The mountain is high and the road is dangerous, stepping on the stairs, when some people notice Guo Jia's arrival, no matter whether they know Guo Jia or not, they will take the initiative to get out of the way, for fear that the collision will prevent the rich and powerful from suffering an accident.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at the Tianshi Palace halfway up the mountain, Da Qiao suddenly said with Guo Jia's support: "Huh? Husband, isn't that Miss Wu in front?"

The graceful and graceful figure was close in front of her eyes, less than ten steps away from Guo Jia and his wife. Maybe it was Da Qiao's voice that reached Wu Cheng's ears, and she turned her head suspiciously while holding a package in ordinary clothes.

Guo Jia and Da Qiao, who were guarded by the guards, came into view. Wu Yan was dizzy for a while, and the steep angle made her suddenly lose her center of gravity and stumbled and fell.

call

Wu Cheng, who was in a trance, was hugged by someone, raised his face in a daze, and found himself leaning against Guo Jia's chest, and Guo Jia let out a sigh of relief.

"I told Old Taoist Zuo a long time ago to build a handrail on the side of this ladder. Every time I use the reason that the path of seeking Tao requires sincerity, it's no wonder that people don't die when they fall from such a high height."

Looking at the majestic Tianshi Palace, Guo Jia felt helpless. The hundreds of steps leading to the Tianshi Palace were too dangerous, and if he accidentally fell down, he would either die or be injured. Every year there would be some accidents here, but Zuo Ci just I refuse to build another stone handrail on this road for people to caress.

"Miss Wu, is it okay? Go up the mountain from here, don't look back, especially if you are afraid of heights."

Guo Jia pushed Wu Cheng out of his arms to help him up, and asked with concern.

Da Qiao, who was holding Guo Yu in his arms, also came over, looked at Wu Cheng in shock, and asked, "Are you okay? There is still a short way to go, so let your husband help you up, otherwise if something bad happens, the consequences will be disastrous."

Wu Cheng took a step back, lowered his head, shook his head slightly, and thanked Guo Jia softly.

The three of them went up the mountain together, and the Taoist boy at the gate of Tianshi Palace recognized Guo Jia, and immediately ran back to the Taoist temple to report to Zuo Ci and Yu Ji.

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji immediately went out to greet them when they learned about it, but the two veterans who were all smiling greeted Guo Jia with scolding.

"You two veterans, you should also think about the people? Come on, stand at the door and look down. Just look down for half an hour. If you don't get dizzy and fall down, just think I'm making trouble for no reason. Young man There are also those who are afraid of heights, not to mention the elderly, if the legs and feet are not flexible, if you stumble and roll down this mountain road, do you come to your Taoist temple to seek blessings or disasters?"

Zuo Ci and Yu Ji looked embarrassed.

They refused to build a convenient mountain facility. The high-sounding explanation is that it is not easy to seek the Tao, and they want outsiders to come here to have a change of mind. Be in awe of the visual sense.

"What the little grandpa said is that the poor Taoist priest will start to let his disciples handle this matter in a few days."

Guo Jia mentioned this matter calmly before, Zuo Ci prevaricates it, but now Guo Jia brings up the old matter again with an expression of asking questions, Zuo Ci can't continue to perfunctory.

Yu Ji took Da Qiao and Wu Cheng to perform ceremonies, while Guo Jia followed Zuo Ci into the side hall of the palace to listen to Zuo Ci's sermon.

Da Qiao and Wu Yan, who prayed and fulfilled their wishes, were very devout and did not dare to show any disrespect to the misty gods. No matter whether Yu Ji was pretending to be a ghost or something was real, anyway, although a ritual was not earth-shattering, it also made people feel more awe .

Yu Ji performed the spell in a dignified manner, and the blessed peace talisman was delivered to Da Qiao. Da Qiao smiled like a flower, threaded the peace talisman on a red string and hung it around Guo Yu's neck. A kiss on the baby's forehead.

Wu Cheng looked at Da Qiao with some envy, Yu Ji handed her two peace charms, she handed one of them to Da Qiao, and said softly: "Little sister came here to ask for good luck to Mr. Yu, I didn't expect to be with you Sister met unexpectedly, this safe talisman, I hope my sister will not dislike it."

Da Qiao reached out to take it, and hung it on Guo Yu's body. She looked at Wu Cheng gently and said, "Miss Wu has a heart. I thank you for your kindness on behalf of this child."

Wu Cheng shook her head, picked up her bag and walked out, Da Qiao still wanted to stay with Ji Ji to do the next ceremony dedicated to praying for Guo Yu.

Aha……

Guo Jia sat cross-legged in the temple, and the immortal Zuo Ci was giving lectures in the style of a master.

"Change according to nature, that is, walk along the way; stand in the midst of differences, wander in the realm of great harmony, and be in harmony with the great way...Huh? If the little prince is sleepy, why not go to the guest room to rest for a while?"

Zuo Ci saw that Guo Jia was not in high spirits and didn't care, anyway, Guo Jia was always in such a low mood when he listened to the sermon.

Guo Jia stretched his waist and looked at the sky. It was just after noon. He was sleepy but not sleepy, but he was hungry.

"There's no need to rest, Mr. Zuo, arrange a table of side dishes. I haven't had a drink with you for a long time."

Zuo Ci grinned and immediately went down to prepare.

Guo Jia stood up in the hall, just about to go out and take a look outside, when he suddenly saw Wu Cheng standing by the door with a package in his arms.

"Did Miss Wu come to find Old Taoist Zuo? He has gone to the backyard, how about I help you find him?"

Wu Cheng lowered his head, holding a package in his arms, his two jade arms trembled slightly, and beads of sweat were already oozing from Guo Jia's invisible face.

"Shi, sir, this, this is the clothes made by my younger sister. I hope, I hope you can accept it. If it doesn't suit your wishes, then throw it away."

Wu Cheng held the package and presented it in front of Guo Jia, her head was still drooping, and beads of sweat were already dripping down.

She originally planned to go to Chengdu after going to and from Tianshi Palace, and borrow the clothes that took her half a year to give to Guo Jia with the help of Da Qiao. in front of.

Seeing her tense and stiff movements, Guo Jia sighed slightly in his heart, and suddenly remembered the feeling of hugging her when he went up the mountain, soft as if boneless, and fragrant.

Reaching out to take the package, Guo Jia said softly, "Thank you Miss Wu for your kindness."

A big stone fell from his heart, and Wu Yan never dared to look at Guo Jia. After saying goodbye softly, he turned and left with brisk steps and a graceful back.

After going down the mountain in the evening, Guo Jia did not ride in the same carriage as Jia Xu, but sat opposite Da Qiao in the carriage. Da Qiao found the package in Guo Jia's hand, which was obviously what Wu Cheng held in his hand during the day.

"Husband won't open it and take a look?"

Da Qiao smiled intentionally.

Facing the package on his lap, Guo Jia suddenly looked a little dignified, raised his head and looked at Da Qiao seriously, and asked, "I'm really curious why my woman would encourage me to touch flowers with an expectant look. Provoking trouble? You are like this, Wen Ji is also like this, and Jiang Er often mentions Daoer and Tuoer in my ears, why? Do you really want my wives and concubines to be in groups?"

Da Qiao didn't expect Guo Jia to look so solemn. Facing Guo Jia's gaze, Da Qiao said softly, "The famous scholar Zheng Xuan once said: A woman's virtue is chaste and obedient. A husband is the heaven of concubines and sisters. As today's husband Status, concubines and sisters, the first thing that comes to mind is the Guo family. There are many wives and concubines? Concubines disagree, how many wives and concubines does Yuan Shao have? For more than ten years, there is only this little blood. The concubine and the sisters are afraid that the descendants of the Guo family will be weak. Shouldn't the husband marry more concubines for the sake of the family? If there are no successors in the future, the concubine and the sisters Aren't you the sinners of the Guo family?"

Feudal ethics kill people.

Guo Jia found himself asking a very stupid question!

This era is an era in which class etiquette rules the hearts of the people, not an era in which the mind is open and the pursuit of freedom is unfettered.

There is no such thing as equality in human rights from the very beginning. From personal freedom to ideological shackles, men and women, high and low, have never been equal.

A woman who marries a man is a vassal and has no right to dictate. Not being jealous is a very important part of a woman's virtue. A woman who is full of jealousy and competing for favor will often be criticized and attacked by the world.

From another point of view, it is the greatest contribution of women in this era to bring strong incense to the husband's family and make the husband's family full of children and grandchildren.

The concept of free and equal love can't even be called non-mainstream. A single-minded man is called infatuation. Some people praise and some admire, but they will never become a dogmatic model erected in this era.

"Husband, Miss Wu's sincere feelings, I am very moved, and I don't want my husband to miss her. If a woman like her can only live alone forever, I will feel distressed."

Da Qiao looked at Guo Jia, frankly and honestly.

There is no difference between taking one concubine and two concubines. Anyway, having multiple concubines is a matter of course. There is no need to carry around the chastity archway to publicize being a bitch.

Whether Guo Jia accepts a concubine or not is often from the heart. Faced with Wu Aunt's intentions, Guo Jia is a little shaken. The impression left by the relationship left by several times, Wu Aunt always gives Guo Jia a pure and beautiful feeling.

She was taciturn, and she might not have a pure heart, but this time she personally gave Guo Jia a piece of clothing, which seemed to make Guo Jia's heartstrings vibrate slightly.

At that moment, it was as if he had returned to his previous life, and what he was facing was the purity of a girl who had just begun to express her heart.

Opening the package, it was a beautifully handcrafted light white sleeved gown with a safety talisman on it.

"It turns out that the other one is for the husband."

Da Qiao saw the peace talisman and thought about it.

Wu Cheng only asked for two peace talismans, one for Guo Yu and one for Guo Jia.

Holding the peace amulet in his hand, Guo Jia leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes. After a long silence, he said softly, "When Wu Yi comes back, I will have a talk with him."

Da Qiao showed a gentle smile.

But she didn't know that Guo Jia, who had her eyes closed at the moment, was struggling fiercely in her heart.

Life is like chess, white clouds canggou.From the chaos of the world to the present day, countless people have died. Guo Jia is determined to achieve hegemony. When it's time to be despicable, when it's time to sacrifice someone's happiness, perhaps, you really shouldn't be soft-hearted.
