The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 91 A Family Banquet

Don't look at Guo Jia's mansion full of grandeur and grandeur. In fact, it is the prefectural pastoral mansion built by Liu Yan with hidden ambitions and the emperor's specifications. Unexpectedly, the emperor's dream was shattered, and the foundation was taken away by Guo Jia. The mansion was also accepted by Guo Jia.

The residence is indeed luxurious, but Guo Jia has been saving money and saving money for more than a month, and the food on weekdays is barely better than the food in the military camp. Show a hypocritical attitude of sharing joys and sorrows.

The only extravagance is to send someone to find some skilled craftsmen, and build some Eight Immortals tables and chairs according to his simple drawings. Guo Jia's original intention is that it is normal to put up and down etiquette outside, and he does not have such a grand ambition to promote equality for everyone. After all, the influence of Confucianism is too deep, and the etiquette of monarchs and ministers is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but internally, there is no need to have a difference in status when one's own family sits together, especially when eating is not something that happens every day. , sitting in armchairs, everyone looks kinder and warmer. In the turbulent era, even if you are seeking grandiose dominance, you can return to the home of the safe haven for the soul. It is an anecdote in life to get a little peace and tranquility.

The Eight Immortals table was used in a family banquet. The old lady of the Zhen family, the three brothers of the Zhen family, Cai Yong and his wife, Guo Jia and Cai Yan, happened to be eight people gathered around the table to form the Eight Immortals.

Everyone stared at Guo Jia with weird eyes, Cai Yong was so angry that his beard was crooked, and he couldn't help it.

It was rare for the servants to cook delicious food on the table, but the atmosphere on the table was weird, and everyone seemed to be chewing on the taste. As the host, Guo Jia had no choice but to raise his glass to pay respects to Cai Yong beside him, and said sincerely talk.

"Lord Cai, oh, if I call you that, I'm afraid you'll think I'm taunting you. In this case, I'll call you Mr. Cai, Mr. Cai. In terms of business, you should hate me, because I, Guo Jia, are the leader of the rebels. , the Yizhou Mu sent by the imperial court was killed by me, and Yizhou of the Han Dynasty was also occupied by me. This, you should hate me. I can understand this, and I don’t want to justly say that it is for the people of the world. And rebellion, this is too hypocritical, but I hope you think about it, I, Guo Jia, have lived for almost 21 years. I helped refugees in Yingchuan, and the Yellow Turbans came to commit crimes. Going out on a trip, Hedong Wei Zhongdao disregarded human life. I was so angry that I killed him. When I passed Xuzhou, Tao Qian’s son was greedy for the beauty of the women around me. Tao Qian also wanted to take me for his use, not for the imperial court. He was not benevolent first, and I was unrighteous later. Then in Luoyang City, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao besieged and killed me. I did not do anything wrong to the two of them. The court said that I was collaborating with party members to rebel in Luoyang City. You are a great Confucianist , Can’t you see this? I, Guo Jia, would be so stupid that I would rebel against less than ten people? I’ve come to this point, apart from my own ideals, half of it is due to the situation.”

Half of the words were addressed to Cai Yong, and the other half to Mother Zhen, but they had to be said in front of Cai Yong. After all, Guo Jia and Cai Yan had children, and the engagement with the Zhen family was terminated. It's not clear.

Cai Yong closed his eyes and acted as if he didn't want to get in. To him, Guo Jia was rebellious. No matter what the reason was, he couldn't forgive him. It is the Han people, who committed rebellion and rebellion, that is, treason.

But what Guo Jia said was a heartfelt statement, and he revealed all his unspeakable secrets and the pressure of the current situation. He wanted to give Cai Yong and others a ideological level, and he didn't expect Cai Yong to cheer for his rebellion. At least he was fair Let's stay neutral, don't make some small tricks that make Guo Jia unable to resist drawing his sword, Guo Jia will burn incense and worship Buddha.

Cai Yan's mother has actually accepted Guo Jia as her son-in-law. After two years of bereavement, the old couple not only reunites with their daughter, but also has a grandson for them to enjoy family happiness. What more can a mother ask for? Woolen cloth?

Seeing Cai Yong's sullen face as if he was at odds with Guo Jia, Cai Yan's mother tugged at Cai Yong's clothes in private.

Only then did Cai Yong open his eyes, but he still didn't say a word and didn't look at Guo Jia.

Holding the wine glass, Guo Jia continued to speak sincerely: "Cai Gong, in terms of personal matters, Wen Ji and I agree in love and love each other. It is true that we are not ordered by our parents and the matchmaker's words. It is not compatible with etiquette and the world does not tolerate it. Therefore, there are countless people in the world who belittle Wenji and belittle Wenji. This is my fault. If my son-in-law makes your generation of Confucianists feel ashamed, you can deny me, but I beg you, don’t blame Wen Ji, there are thousands of mistakes, it’s all my Guo Jia’s fault, Wen Ji is a woman, she can’t help herself .”

Guo Jia didn't know from the bottom of his heart who he and Cai Yan liked first, and whether there was any love between them. Anyway, that night in the carriage, both of them were [-]% drunk. The sigh of a confidant, in the end, I don’t know whether Cai Yan is dry wood, Guo Jia is a raging fire, or if the two of them get together, they will ignite. Anyway, Guo Jia feels very good about himself. After all, he has a face that can eat soft food, plus It’s hard to tell if someone is talented or not, but at least Cai Yan didn’t cry and fight Guo Jia when she woke up the next day, and even accepted the rain again.

The two people in this "flash marriage" also didn't pay attention to the secular ethics. Cai Yan knew that the world was about to collapse, and human life was like nothing. The proud Luoyang talented woman also admires heroes. When she assassinated Guo Jia, she was filled with anger. If Guo Jia hadn’t killed Wei Zhongdao, she would not have fallen to the point where she was secretly ridiculed and sympathized by Luoyang scholars. Later, she accidentally woke up. Guo Jia, a rebel leader was created by accident. Cai Yan, who had such a rebellious idea in her heart, was not disgusted with Guo Jia at first, and mostly admired her. Otherwise, she would not admit that two people in the world could fall into her eyes. Guo Jia Jia happened to be able to barely catch her eyes, and Guo Jia transformed from a little person who was causing trouble everywhere to stand on the top of the mountain, and it seemed that he just broke into her heart. To put it nicely, the two fell in love at first sight at that moment. The matchmakers are in collusion.

Cai Yan is also crying at this moment, looking aggrieved, Guo Jia defended her and blamed herself, even though she was disdainful in her heart, she still had to cooperate with her superficial efforts.

No matter how hard-hearted Cai Yong and his wife are, now Guo Jia has taken the initiative to admit his mistake and stated the facts. Now that the children are babbling, what is there to pursue?
"Guo Jia, the old man has no other requirements, but you must be married once, and you can't wrong Yan'er."

Cai Yong put aside official business, that is, Guo Jia's rebellion, and only talked about private matters, leaving the rest aside for the time being.

"That's natural. After I've settled down in Yizhou, I'm sure the matchmaker is going to marry me." Guo Jia took this matter seriously. Although both of them had children, Cai Yan was supposed to have an upright wedding. What is deserved is not a request, otherwise Guo Jia would feel guilty.

The Cai family was relieved, but the Zhen family became anxious again.

In terms of succession, Guo Jia was engaged to Zhen Jiang when he was young, and it was set by Zhen Yi. Later, Guo Jia became a criminal, and the old lady broke up the engagement. I don't want to say whether I would like to, but marrying Zhen Jiang to Guo Jia is beneficial to the Zhen family. The wealth of the rich family is given to Guo Jia, and it is good to have another daughter so that Guo Jia is not ungrateful. Regardless of the beauty of an adult, I have to send my daughter to Guo Jiacai.

Zhen's mother told Guo Jia to terminate the engagement in person, but now she heard that Guo Jia was going to marry Cai Yan. According to her age, if Guo Jia really married, she might be his wife. At this moment, there was a bit of anxiety on her face. I tugged on Zhen Yu's clothes, the Eight Immortals table, that's great.

Zhen Yu and Guo Jia are the first to know each other among these people, and the friendship is also the deepest. Seeing Guo Jia, who is also a good friend and the protagonist, and Cai Yanlang are a match made in heaven. He is happy for Guo Jia from the bottom of his heart and looks happy , his mother dragged him several times without noticing it, and then looked at his mother suspiciously, asking.

Seeing the wink from his mother, Zhen Yu suddenly realized. After thinking for a moment, he secretly thought about what words to use to remind Guo Jia, after all, the two families no longer have a marriage contract in name.

However, Cai Yan, who was watching his words and expressions, said softly with tears of joy: "Father, mother, Feng Xiao and Miss Zhen's family have a marriage contract in advance. If Feng Xiao really wants to marry his daughter, it should be after Miss Zhen's family gets married." .”

In fact, Zhen's mother's little trick can't be hidden from Guo Jia, but Guo Jia can't pick this topic, because it will offend others. Cai Yong and Zhen's family don't want their daughter to be a concubine. Who is not the problem, the problem is what etiquette standards to use to marry, wives and concubines, there is a world of difference at this time, just look at the fierce battle between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. With identity and status.

Cai Yan knew that it was impossible for Guo Jia to make her his regular wife, so he might as well give the Zhen family a favor now, which would relieve Guo Jia's embarrassment at this time.

Sure enough, Guo Jia's expression didn't change when he heard what Cai Yan said, but his eyes secretly glanced at his wife and gave him admiration.

Both Cai Yong and his wife frowned and said nothing. It's not easy to fight for their daughter's title. The daughter belongs to Guo Jia. Now that they have opened their mouths to give up the position of the main wife, the old couple can't stand up for their daughter regardless of face. Let's fight.

Zhen's mother, on the other hand, had a joyful expression on her face, and after several refusals, she readily accepted Cai Yan's proposal.
