The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 6 Stealing jade and stealing fragrance
The Zhen family is a wealthy family in Hebei, and it is not uncommon to have property in Ye City. Zhen Yu's trip is to Ye City to supervise the operation of his family's shop.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu followed Zhen Yu into the Zhen family's mansion, took a short break to rectify, washed away the dust and entered the hall, and Zhen Yu, who had set up the banquet, sat at the head seat and toasted to Guo Jia and Xu Shu respectively, sincerely saying : "Thanks to the life-saving grace of the two people outside the city, please drink this cup to the full."

The three raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses, and then they talked freely. Guo Jia and Xu Shu saw that Zhen Yu was straightforward and sincere, and the conversation between the three of them was quite speculative, so they let go of their concerns, and they didn't shy away from talking.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu are ambitious people, and they often talk about world affairs with Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu. It can be said that they are full of talents and have already surpassed ordinary people.

And Zhen Yu became more and more admirable during the conversation with the two. The two were knowledgeable and unique. When they talked about current affairs in the world, they were even sharper. Their words were more ambitious, so they asked Guo Jia and Xu Shu for advice He said: "Feng Xiao and Yuan Zhi are both great talents. Although the world is not in chaos, there are already signs of chaos. Please teach me how to keep my Zhen family alive in troubled times."

Guo Jia and Xu Shu looked at each other and smiled, thinking to themselves: Sure enough, they are the children of aristocratic families. In troubled times, they take care of their own families first, but this is human nature.

After thinking for a while, Xu Shu said, "If it comes to far-sightedness, I'm not as good as Feng Xiao. Let Feng Xiao talk about it."

Zhen Yu looked at Guo Jia nervously, the expectation in his eyes was obvious.

Guo Jia didn't answer, but instead asked, "Who was the robber that the Zhen family encountered outside Yecheng?"

Zhen Yu thought about it in a daze, and then said: "From my perspective of clothing, weapons and martial arts, I'm afraid he is a refugee."

"Why do refugees become bandits?"

"Desperate."

"Why can't the Zhen family give them a bite to live?"

Zhen Yu was dumbfounded, and blurted out: "There are so many hungry people in the world. There may be hundreds of thousands of refugees in Jizhou alone. Even if the Zhen family goes bankrupt, it may not be able to support them."

Guo Jia, who was drinking by himself with a glass of wine, did not look at Zhen Yu whose complexion had changed drastically, and said to himself: "If you have the right, you will get more help than if you have the wrong way. The imperial industry must win the hearts of the people in the world. The wealth of the Zhen family is well-known in Hebei. Even if the wealth can rival the country in the future, if the rich are not benevolent, how long can they survive in the troubled times? Now Jizhou is full of hungry people, robbers who fall into the grass, and the mountains that occupy the mountains as kings There are countless thieves, and your Zhen family has a lot of money and food. If I were a thief, I would also murder your Zhen family. On the other hand, if your Zhen family is willing to help one side of refugees and do good deeds to win the hearts of the people, even in troubled times and even when mobs are everywhere, conspiracy You Zhen family, you must first think about it, firstly, people are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, and the kindness of the Zhen family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and secondly, the powerful will not dare to touch your Zhen family, why? Mobilizing the Zhen family is an act of alienation from the people , the Lord with a little foresight will not take this path of self-destruction."

"Feng Xiao's words can be described as great kindness. Those who have achieved great achievements in ancient times must be the masters of the people's hearts. If the people's hearts are against you, you will destroy yourself! Hahaha!" Xu Shu poured three glasses of wine, excited.

But Zhen Yu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly jumped up, raised his glass and came to Guo Jia and said excitedly: "Feng Xiao's words awakened the dreamer, I respect you."

After drinking with Zhen Yu, Guo Jia raised his glass and said calmly, "Since we have reached this point, I will say a few more words."

"Please tell me, please tell me, please tell Feng Xiaozhi everything." Zhen Yu happily sat back in the main seat, waiting for Guo Jia to speak.

Xu Shu also looked at Guo Jia curiously, to see what he had to say.

Guo Jia took a few sips of food and wine in his spare time before he said: "What I said just now was the way for the Zhen family to protect themselves in troubled times, but if troubled times come, when heroes join forces to rule one side, what should the Zhen family do? "

Zhen Yu once again showed shock, while Xu Shu was already mentally prepared and was not shocked by Guo Jia's remarks at all.

The meaning inside and outside of Guo Jia's words is very clear. Once the situation of separatist regimes appears, it will not be chaos in the Han Dynasty, but the fall of the Han Dynasty.

When Zhen Yu heard such rebellious remarks, he couldn't be more shocked, but he could only follow Guo Jia's words, so he asked, "Please speak clearly in honor of your filial piety."

Guo Jia smiled lightly and said: "Qin lost its deer, and all the heroes competed together. First, there was Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and then there were Gaozu and Bawang. If the Zhen family was in the world at that time, when Gaozu and Bawang were in the end, who would the Zhen family help? "

Help who?Hindsight is naturally helping Gaozu Liu Bang, but the situation back then was that Xiang Yu was almost on the verge of becoming an emperor. Now that he thinks about it, Zhen Yu's head has begun to be confused, but he knows what Guo Jia said. If it is true When it comes to the situation where the heroes are fighting for hegemony, the Zhen family cannot remain neutral, otherwise, the day the new master ascends to the top, the Zhen family will be doomed. If the Zhen family wants to support one overlord, who should help is the key. If the Lord is defeated, then the Zhen family will also be destroyed.

Where do we go from here?Where do we go from here?Zhen Yu was in a state of confusion, he could only look at Guo Jia for help, and asked, "Feng Xiao, in your opinion, how should our Zhen family stand in troubled times so that we can have no worries?"

Guo Jia laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "In troubled times, how can there be no worry-free strategy. From the heroes who compete in the world to the ordinary people who can't eat enough, who can guarantee that they will have no worries in their life?"

Zhen Yu woke up with a start and let out a long sigh. As Guo Jia said, when the world is in chaos, the destiny is still unpredictable, let alone these pawns.At that moment, he bowed his hands to Guo Jia sincerely and said: "Feng Xiao, I know you are a great talent, if you have a high opinion, please let me know."

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "I don't have a good plan, I can only tell you the truth, if the world is chaotic, in the beginning, all the heroes will inevitably rise together, at this time the fate is unpredictable, the Zhen family can be neutral, protect themselves without worry, and then the heroes will stand out Now, the Zhen family can take a gamble, if they win, the Zhen family will not only be rich and prosperous, but also more likely to gain power. If not, hehe."

After hearing this, Zhen Yu remained silent for a long time, and his expression changed several times. Finally, he bowed to Guo Jia and said gratefully, "Thank you Feng Xiao for speaking frankly. I have benefited a lot from listening to you today. Being able to get along with the two great talents is a great achievement." I am fortunate in my life, and I hope that Feng Xiao will teach me a lot in the future, come, come, let me get drunk today."

The three drank heavily until late at night before going back to their rooms.

After Guo Jia was sent to the guest room by his servants, he tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep. Firstly, he was not too drunk, and secondly, he learned from Zhen Yu that he was coming to Yecheng this time, and his younger sister was with him. Guo Jia felt itchy and wanted to see this Luoshen What does my sister look like? After all, the five Luoshen sisters are said to be beautiful and beautiful. If they are destined to meet each other today, wouldn't it be a pity if they don't see their beauty?
So Guo Jia, who got up from the bed, sneaked out of the guest room and wandered around the courtyard to find his way. He didn't know where the daughter of the Zhen family lived, but according to his reasoning, it must be in the courtyard deep behind the hall. among.

call

Guo Jia heaved a sigh of relief and hid behind a rockery. He watched the yawning servant who was watching the night pass by not far away, and then came out from behind the rockery. Seeing that the gate of the courtyard was locked, Guo Jia left. Look to the right, and there is a countermeasure in mind.

He wobbled to the edge of the wall, climbed up to the top of the wall, intending to turn over and jump into the courtyard.

The cold wind was blowing, and the drunkenness hit people. Guo Jia lay on the wall, muttering to himself: "Whoever abandons me, don't let the day of yesterday stay. Whoever disturbs my mind, today is a day of worry. Long The autumn geese are sent by the wind thousands of miles, and you can enjoy the high-rise buildings. Penglai’s articles are built with solid bones, and the small Xie in the middle is clear. Both are full of joy and prosperity, and want to go to the blue sky to embrace the bright moon. Pull a knife to cut off the water and let the water flow more. .Life is unsatisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty spreads out boats."

Guo Jia, who had just had a drunken madness, supported his body with his hands and was about to jump into the courtyard, but when he looked up at the courtyard, he was stunned.

Under the bright moonlight, the girl in white dress and skirt stands tall and graceful, with bright eyes and bright teeth, a beautiful nose and pink lips, and three thousand black hair draped over her vest, she looks like a fairy in the world. At this moment, the girl is looking up at Guo Jia with wide-eyed eyes, and there is a hint of panic in her eyes meaning.

"Oh, mine is not a thief."

puff

Panicked, Guo Jia fell from the wall and fell into the courtyard, terrified.

"You, you are the young hero who saved us during the day?" Zhen Jiang saw Guo Jia's face clearly, and immediately let go of half of his guard, but this act of climbing over the wall and being admitted to the hospital, no matter how you look at it, you don't think it is something that a modest gentleman would do.

"That's right, that's right, I'm Guo Jia, you're an abrupt beauty. Haha, don't say anything, I don't mean anything malicious, just, just, haha." Guo Jia patted the dirt on his body while explaining with a smile. It's not a big deal, as long as you don't touch this girl, the problem will not be that serious, at most it will just get a bad reputation.

"Just what? Although you were kind to my family yesterday, the facts of what you are doing now are suspicious. If you can't give me a convincing answer, I will ask my brother to arrest you and go to the court." Zhen Jiangban turned around Body, with an impersonal look, Guo Jia's invisible half of the pretty face, but the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned.

Guo Jia had a headache, and quickly explained: "I really didn't come here to steal jade, huh? You really want to listen to the truth?"

Steal jade and fragrance?This man Meng Lang is so disgusting!

Zhen Jiangqi's pretty face was flushed, she stared at Guo Jia, and said, "Hmph, if you don't tell the truth, then wait to be punished by the government."

After hesitating for a while, Guo Jia drooped his head, and said truthfully, "I heard from your elder brother that the younger sister in the family went to Yecheng with him, and I heard that all the daughters of Zhen's family have shameful looks, so I wanted to take a sneak peek. Wishes come true. Do you believe it?"

Guo Jia is really not sure, if the other party believes that he is a flower picker, then even a three-year-old child will not believe the truth, knowing that he is a beautiful parent, sneaking a look and leaving?Who believes it?
Looking up, she saw that Zhen Jiang's face was flushed and her eyes were slightly shy. She avoided Guo Jia's gaze and asked in a low voice, "Then you must be disappointed when you see it."

disappointment?Guo Jia was stunned again, and then suddenly realized that this little girl was disappointed because he praised her for being beautiful, thin-skinned and shy, and spoke modestly.

"Jia's wish has been fulfilled, so I will bid farewell."

Guo Jia turned around and wanted to leave, but he didn't want someone behind him to stop him.

"Hey, wait, I didn't hear the poem you chanted on the wall just now, can you read it again?"

Ok?
