[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

Cao Gong's class teacher returned to the court, so naturally Cao Zhang also came back.

I haven't seen him for a year, and the 14-year-old boy's face has lost his childishness.The outline of this slightly raw face gradually became clear, and there was a murderous aura in the eyes.Compared with last year's jumpy and lively, Cao Zhang's temperament is quite quiet.

He first visited his mother, Mrs. Bian, and had a conversation with her before going out with Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

Because he was going to find Wang Qi!

In the past, he was very proud of his martial arts, and all his masters praised him, but Wang Qi did not hesitate to tell the difference between himself and others.Although he is very grateful, but this way, the face is not very good.

——For more than ten years, no one has ever beaten him until his nose was blue and his face was swollen!

Now that he has experienced a year in the camp, he has already changed a bit, so he naturally wants to "discuss and learn from each other" with Wang Qi!

In the end, of course, he was beaten again and went home with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Therefore, he set another goal: when he returned from conquering Liu Bei with his father, he would find Wang Qi to compete against him.

Xuchang in September, the weather is getting colder.

After the elephant was weighed yesterday, there were rumors about Cao Chong in the streets and alleys.The creative masses even arranged several versions to be widely circulated. It is very funny to hear people who know the truth.

But these things have nothing to do with Cao Zhi.

Ever since he deduced that he may know his future, Cao Zhi spent the whole day thinking about how to remember the past.But people always have a characteristic, the more you want to remember, the harder it is to remember, so even if Cao Zhi racked his brains for a whole day and night, it would have no effect except to make himself exhausted.

He could only shake his slightly dizzy head, and reluctantly went to the study to attend class.

When he walked through the garden, he heard a clear voice calling: "Fourth Young Master."

Cao Zhi turned around.

The one who spoke was Guo Jia.

Guo Jia was originally from Yingchuan, but his family did not follow after he defected to Cao Ying.He was also not in good health, so he followed Cao Cao's previous instructions and stayed in Cao's residence.

He is now 25 years old, but he looks like he is only [-] six.Perhaps because of her poor health, her complexion was always morbidly pale.But his pair of deep eyes always remind others that this handsome scribe who has no power to restrain a chicken can't be underestimated.

Cao Zhi approached Guo Jia, bowed and saluted: "Mr. Guo."

Guo Jia was still holding a cup in his hand.There is a tea kettle on the side, and there is a charcoal fire under the kettle that has not been extinguished.There is still a hint of tea fragrance between the nostrils, presumably he was planning to make tea for himself.

But he is not in the pavilion, but under a pine tree.

This green pine was planted by Cao Cao himself on the day he came to Xuchang, and now it is as graceful as a cover.Guo Jia sat on the ground in the greenery, with a calm and relaxed expression.

Anyone who sees such a person will feel comfortable and like it at first glance.

Guo Jia is exactly such a person. Although he can see through people's hearts as well as Yang Xiu, the difference is that the former makes people feel admiration and reverence, while the latter wants to beat him to death!

Guo Jia looked at the little boy in front of him for a moment, then bent his lips and said with a smile, "Please sit down."

Cao Zhi sat down as he said.

Every day in class, he is always used to arriving early for a stick of incense.Now that Guo Jia invites him to sit down, he is not worried about being late.

But after he sat down, Guo Jia picked up the tea kettle and poured him a cup of tea, but stopped talking.

Cao Zhi's doubts grew deeper, so he didn't speak.

He has learned from Yang Xiu that some things are better not to be asked, and some things are worthless to ask.

Guo Jia looks very nice drinking tea.He didn't sip it in small sips, but drank it quickly like drinking wine.But he is sitting here, holding a cup in one hand as if respecting the sky, and his movements are more chic and unrestrained.

After finishing the cup of tea, he thought about it for a while before sighing sadly: "I didn't like to drink tea, but now I can only drink tea."

Cao Zhi blinked, as if he didn't understand why Guo Jia said this.

Guo Jia did not explain.He added: "You must have been thinking just now, why did I stop you."

Cao Zhi blinked again: "Sir will definitely tell me."

When Guo Jia heard about it, he didn't look at him, but only looked at the sky.The sky is blue, as deep as his pupils: "Actually, before the elephant was brought into Xuchang, I made a bet with Wen Ruo."

"Huh?" Is Guo Jia betting with Xun Yu?This bet should be related to elephants.But would the serious Xun Lingjun still bet with Guo Jia... Or, once the war is over, will these scholar-bureaucrats really be very boring?

"We all think that the lord will order people to be called elephants, but I bet you are the one who thinks of a way. But Wen Ruo said that the sixth son has great wisdom, and he must be the one who thinks of a way." When Guo Jia said this, his tone was a little weak pause.

He was originally a very elegant person, but at this moment, he was silent for a short time, and he was actually a little gentle.

Then, he said seriously: "You made me lose the bet."

"..."

Cao Zhi's complexion became subtle uncontrollably.

He didn't know about this bet before, so what does it have to do with him if he loses? What's going on with this feeling of being shot while lying down?

Guo Jia didn't see his expression, and said calmly: "Since it's a bet, there is a bet. I lost a year's worth of wine."

As we all know, Guo Jia is addicted to alcohol.Moreover, his weakness is probably partly due to alcohol.Now asking him not to drink for a year is more uncomfortable than killing him.

Cao Zhi couldn't help but said: "...so?"

"I lost because of you, young master." Guo Jia's eyes became more and more melancholy, and he sighed deeply, "So I hope that you can be in charge of my wine for this year."

The expression on Cao Zhi's face became more and more subtle: "But sir, didn't you have a bet with Mr. Xun? As the saying goes, a gentleman is as fast as he says, so isn't sir willing to bet and admit defeat?"

"It's okay." Guo Jia smiled with his eyes bent, and the sly look in his eyes became more and more serious. "I drink secretly, Wen Ruo must not know."

"..."

good.It was impossible for Xun Yu to watch him all the time and not let him drink, but this kind of blatant behavior of being shameless after losing - Cao Zhi couldn't help but twitch - sir, are you really not worried about teaching bad children? !

No matter how speechless he was, Cao Zhi was still cute on the face.He seemed to be shy in his pocket, so he lowered his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, sir, but I really don't have any money..." Although there are some copper coins as pocket money every month, most of them will be kept by Bian, and he really keeps every month. Yes, but only a dozen or twenty words.

Wang Qi likes wine, so as a student, he naturally knows the price of wine.This year, a bucket of fine wine costs fifty copper coins, and a bucket of fine wine costs only fifteen.

That is to say, his monthly money can only buy a bucket of wine.But to buy a bucket of alcohol, you have to save it for three months.

"No problem. I'm going to go out with my lord. When I come back from the big victory, you just saved enough money to buy me a few buckets of fine wine."

Cao Zhi's complexion was extremely subtle: "Do you think I will tell Lord Xun, sir?"

There was a hint of surprise on Guo Jia's face.

He stared at the young boy for a long time, and then slowly said in the resentment he was trying to express: "The lord said the word 'calling the elephant' earlier, why did the fourth son keep looking in the direction of the sixth son?"

Cao Zhi was startled.

His pupils shrank subconsciously, and his mind turned sharply: "Because... because I think Master Jia must know the way..."

Guo Jiawen said: "Wenhe was standing by my side before."

"Then, is that Lord Xun?"

Guo Jia sighed: "Since you still want to find the reason, you must know that I will never believe it. If this is the case, why bother to find the reason."

After he finished speaking, he smiled in the boy's slightly stiff expression: "Actually, I'm also very curious——Why did the fourth son have such a strange expression when he heard that the sixth son said the method of weighing images?"

"What did the fourth son find?"

"Did someone tell the Fourth Young Master about this long ago? But if so, the Fourth Young Master's expression should be unbelievable? Why are you trembling all over?"

When Guo Jia said this, his tone was as gentle and soft as ever.But the content of his words was not gentle at all.

"Or, the Fourth Young Master... predicted this to happen?"

The theory of ghosts and gods has existed since ancient times.Although Guo Jia didn't believe it, it didn't stop him from guessing.

Cao Zhi stopped talking again.

He didn't speak because no matter Yang Xiu or Guo Jia, they could easily silence him.

His expression was still subtle as before, but his heart was completely different from before.

He has already shown himself to be concealed, and no one will know.But Guo Jia actually saw it, and even guessed it? !

He twitched the corners of his lips and laughed dryly: "Hahaha! Mr. Guo is really good at joking, I am a ten-year-old kid, how could I know this! Didn't Master Xun also guess that Cang Shu knew the method? I also believe in Cang Shu." ,hehe!"

"Is it because the four young masters compare themselves to Wen Ruo?"

"..."

"If the lord knows that the fourth son is comparable to Wen Ruo, it must be very gratifying to hide it so deeply. We are supposed to share the worries of the lord. Why don't the fourth son also follow Duke Cao to conquer Liu Bei? Since the fourth son is smart, he will definitely have a good time. As."

Cao Zhi finally said: "Sir, you are joking..."

"I have a little acquaintance with Dezu (Yang Xiu), and I have heard him talk about you, the fourth son." Guo Jia smiled leisurely, "Now that the sixth son has shown his sharpness, Mr. Cao is very happy. But I think, The Fourth Young Master is smarter than Dezu and I imagined. It's a pity that I thought his students would definitely be like him."

"So I lost the bet."

Cao Zhi stared at Guo Jia's face, silent.

What Guo Jia meant was that he thought that he was just like Yang Xiu, smart and likes to show off.

"How about this, if you help me buy wine, I heard that the Fourth Young Master made a big joke because of his poems, so I won't tell Mr. Cao."

Cao Zhi's expression became even more helpless.

The messy song "Self-hanging Southeast Branch" has been ridiculed several times.Cao Zhi didn't know if his unfamiliar father would get angry if he knew about it.

"...Is this a threat?"

"You and I hit it off right away, and I have already regarded you as a confidant in my heart. If that is the case, how can I threaten my confidant?" Guo Jia touched his heart, with a gentle expression on his face: "Please don't tell the fourth son what happened today. Wen Ruo—this is our common little secret."

"..."
